Chapter 60 Visiting a Flight School

"Joystick, this is joystick. Pull back and the plane will fly high, and push forward and the plane will fall. This is the altimeter, this is the oil gauge. ”

Captain White, who is the most proficient in Chinese, explained the basics of flying an airplane over and over again to several young yellow-skinned students next to him in stiff spoken Chinese. These students were sent by Gao Quan to learn how to fly bombers.

Young men have very clever brains, and they can memorize what White says, though difficult for them to understand, and the obscure terms that come out of White's mouth can be repeated by these lads after hearing it twice. It's just that Instructor Wright obviously doesn't want a Xiucai who can only memorize dead books, he wants a pilot who can understand and be proficient in flight operation procedures. So, the tireless explanation began to be carried out over and over again.

White explained very patiently, and every teacher will be patient with smart students. White found that these students were learning a little faster and a little smarter than when he first learned to drive, and now they didn't learn it because of the short time and the fact that his teacher was not a professional professor.

The U.S. pilots who were with White also consciously joined the teaching, although their Chinese was much worse than White's, so it can be said that they basically didn't know it. However, Chinese can be learned, and while they teach these students English, they also learn a lot of Chinese words from these students. If they can learn Chinese before they return home, they will be able to show off in front of their friends when they return home: Look, I can speak Chinese, and I can write Chinese square characters! How amazing! A trip to death turned into a study tour to Oriental China! I believe that all friends will envy their adventures!

The No. 26 B-25 medium bomber was towed by a truck into a flat mountain col ten miles away from Mr. Xu's home. This col is simply a natural airfield, two or three miles in a radius, and after a simple repair, it is almost a football field. Even White thought that if this place could be magnified several times, he would have been able to land here directly on the twenty-sixth.

Such a good place can be found, of course, thanks to Xu Laogen. Xu Laogen has been hunting for decades, and his footprints have traveled all over the mountains and mountains in this vicinity. When he heard that Junzuo was looking for a flat place that was large enough, Xu Laogen remembered this small mountain village called Shimen at that time. Gao Quan took people to the field investigation and fell in love with this place at a glance.

There are only about 20 households in Shimen Village, which is smaller than the village of Xu Laogen's family. The 500 Army Engineer Regiment came over and built dozens of new houses five miles away from Shimen Village in half a day, and the officers and soldiers and the people went into battle together, and dozens of villagers in Shimen Village were relocated at dinner that day. The old residence in Shimen Village was stripped of a batch, renovated a batch, and the B-25 medium bomber was pulled over from Xiushui County by a few trucks, and an aircraft training base was completed.

When White and his crew came to Shimen Village, they asked Gao Quan, was this teaching site prepared by General Gao a long time ago? When Gao Quan told him that this was a village three days ago, several American pilots widened their blue eyes in surprise. This incident made Cao Bao, the head of the engineering regiment in charge of the on-site construction, proud for a long time.

A week after the flight school opened, Gao Quan brought Liu Qi, Shi Lei, Xu Laogen and others to inspect. Although the news of the military inspection was announced on the first day, the school did not make any preparations to welcome it. Several US military pilots did not know what to do, and those students were too young to have experience and insight in this area, so after Gao Quan entered the school with a group of attachés, what appeared on the scene was a teaching scene in which the instructors continued to give lectures and the students listened attentively.

A group of people came outside, after all, it still attracted the attention of teachers and students. White raised his eyes and saw Gao Quan, patted his head and ran over, "General Gao, welcome to visit the flight school." After running to the front and saluting and shaking hands, "I still have to teach, please feel free to visit." With that, the flight school chief professor turned around and ran back to teach his cadets again.

"Hehe, this White is really a responsible teacher." Liu Qi looked at Gao Quan, and then at White, who had resumed his teaching state, shook his head, and smiled helplessly.

"People in the United States don't practice that kind of superficial stuff. Xiao Qi, we also have to learn from the Americans in this regard! We're in the army here, so it's no good to have too many things. In the period of victory, the province should be saved, and how to be practical and how to come, just learn from the Americans! "Learn from each other's strengths, this is the words handed down by our ancestors, others are better than us, just learn from others, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Gao Quan is the most open to this.

"Yes, that's what the military seat said!" Before Gao Quan, Liu Qi has always been a little brother and a little follower, Gao Quan said one, he never said two, and now he listens to the military seat teaching him to do things, Liu Qi naturally can't stop saying yes.

"Let's go, let's go over and listen for a while, just behind, don't affect the teacher's lecture." Gao Quan smiled and finished speaking to the people around him, paced to a place more than ten meters away from the academy and stood still. This distance can not only hear the teacher above, but also does not affect the students' listening.

White was talking about the simple troubleshooting of the plane, and Gao Quan listened to it with relish in the back.

As soon as the students saw the military seat coming, a few people moved a few times and wanted to stand up and go over to welcome them, but the teacher stopped them. We are in class, and students are not allowed to leave their personal positions without the permission of the teacher! The cadets sat there and didn't move. Both the school and the army are places of discipline, and these young people present are both students and soldiers, and of course they have to obey the orders of their teachers.

Gao Quan stood behind the students and listened to the lecture with these young students, and the students involuntarily straightened their backs and listened more seriously.

"Huh?" During the lecture, Gao Quan coldly raised his eyes and glanced into the distance, and saw that there were several people dressed as local mountain people outside the school grounds who were looking over here, Gao Quan's heart moved, "Where are these people?" Gao Quan asked Shi Lei.

Needless to say, a unit like a flight school is a department with a strong sense of secrecy, and from the moment Gao Quan saw this B-25 on the main street of Xiushui, everyone and everything related to this bomber entered the close monitoring of the reconnaissance group. The flight school is teaching, and it is said that no unrelated people are allowed to appear around, but now that a few mountain people have appeared, Gao Quan will inevitably be suspicious.

"Oh, are you talking about those guys? They are the villagers who used to live here. There used to be a village here at the flight school, with dozens of families. Before we pulled the plane over, we moved these dozens of families to five miles away, these ** are all difficult to give up in their homeland, and people will come to see it from time to time. Shi Lei didn't realize the seriousness of this question, and when he answered Gao Quan's question, his tone was not very nervous.
