[29] The navy also needs airplanes

General Xiao looked at Xiao Qiang in the conference hall of the preparatory office of the Navy Headquarters, his eyes were really sad, that means I said for a long time, you kid understand, I am now an empty commander, and I want to talk about the army under my hands, and there are people in the mountains and seas, but there are no ships! A naval commander without a ship!! The chairman told me to come to you, and you can do it.

Xiao Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "Commander Xiao, don't worry, the warship is wrapped around me." For the next batch of imports, I will make the navy the top priority, do you think this will be okay? ”

As soon as General Xiao heard this, he immediately jumped up from the chair, and his body hit the conference table in front of him, he didn't seem to feel pain at all, and grabbed Xiao Qiang's hand and said:

"As long as you can get me a warship, I, the commander, will do it for you! I'll be your adjutant. In short, you can do anything, my Lao Xiao's life can be given to you! What support do you want, as long as I can get it, grab it and grab it for you! You solved more than a thousand planes for Liu Yuelou, obediently! I know all about it. Comrade Xiaoqiang! You can't be partial to their air force! I'm not as greedy as Lao Liu, hehe, you can get me ten gunboats like Lao Jiang's frigate. After that, Commander Xiao was panting unfairly, and his mouth foamed on Xiao Qiang's face.

Xiao Qiang comforted him humorously and said: "Your old man has really never seen the world, if you want me to say, Lao Jiang's frigate gunboat is a scum, once the Air Force's Jian-5 Jian-6 is put into flight, with bombs and rockets, at best, three sorties will send the little broken ship to the bottom of the sea as a reef."

In addition, the Air Force also has 10 new H-5 bombers, and it is also equipped with a H-5, a H-5, and a H-5 torpedo bomber. These thirteen planes are good to eat, and they can make Lao Jiang cry. ”

When Commander Xiao heard Xiao Qiang say this, his mouth opened in surprise. Xiaoqiang continued to calm his heart:

"You must know that the bomb load of the H-5 is 3,000 kilograms, the range is 2,400 kilometers, and Kaohsiung, the southernmost part of the bay, is only more than 900 kilometers away from Puhai. As long as the Air Force wins air supremacy and sends the old Chiang warship to feed the fish, then you can command the wooden sampan and go wherever you want. ”

Commander Xiao heard Xiao Qiang say this, and gradually his mouth opened, obviously a little excited.

He said, "Airplanes are all good, but you can't call me a shipless, can you?" ”

Xiao Qiangxin said, I have to be happy with what you said today, and continue to spray:

"Let's talk about the five-class torpedo bomber, equipped with the Yu-2 is a copy of the Soviet РАТ-52 torpedo, which relies on rocket engine propulsion. Does Commander Xiao know what this concept is? ”

Commander Xiao opened his eyes, grabbed Xiao Qiang's hand and didn't let go, and said anxiously: "Xiao Qiang, tell me quickly, where can my understanding of these advanced weapons be better than that of you, a great expert." You've got to talk to me about it today. ”

Xiao Qiang continued to spray with a shy face:

"You must know that in World War II, torpedo bombers need to fly horizontally at low altitudes after entering the course of attack ships. If the altitude is too high or if the torpedo is in a state of diving, the torpedo will hit the water and deviate greatly from the aiming course, and if the altitude is too high, the torpedo stabilizing surface will be broken, and it will become a waste bomb. ”

Commander Xiao listened attentively, and when he arrived here, he hurriedly asked, "Then you should fly low." ”

Xiaoqiang nodded and said: "You are right, at that time, aviation torpedoes were all unguided direct-flying torpedoes. In the course of a typical attack, the torpedo bomber needs to reduce its altitude several nautical miles away from the target, generally flying dozens of meters close to the water, while adjusting its course to aim at the target. It can only be launched at a very close distance, otherwise there is no accuracy at all. This distance is within one nautical mile, that is, about 1,800 meters. ”

Commander Xiao frowned and said: "It's too close, this is already within the range of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the ship's anti-aircraft firepower is not vegetarian." ”

Xiao Qiang affirmed Commander Xiao's judgment, nodded and continued:

"In June 1942, the US Navy's TBD "Marauders" were shot down by the Japanese in the Battle of Midway, and all the planes of two consecutive batches were shot down by the Japanese! Yes, all of them were shot down. The reason is that these torpedo planes carry torpedoes very bulky, and they cannot maneuver to evade the interception of fighter and ship anti-aircraft fire during low-altitude flight aiming, and some torpedo planes are almost shelled head-on and smashed into pieces by artillery fire! ”

Commander Xiao said proudly: "I'll just say, this stupid American will hit the muzzle of the gun directly, won't it become a target?" ”

Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"I said earlier that the Fish-2 was copied from the Soviet РАТ-52 torpedo. The Maozi Navy has its own unique point of view on aviation torpedoes, and when designing the РАТ-52 torpedo, they adopted a combination of aerial and underwater ballistics, which is very creative. The РАТ-52 torpedo is more like a rocket than a torpedo. It is powered by a rocket engine and has large wings in the middle, which is suitable for flying in the air and maintaining a stable trajectory during underwater gliding.

The РАТ-52 is carried by the Il-28, our H-5, and can be launched at an altitude of up to 1000 meters! Compared to the low-altitude torpedoes launched during World War II, it has great combat flexibility. Pilots no longer have to rigidly lower their altitude and slowly touch it. The course of the operation was as follows: the Il-28 H-5 bomber carried the torpedo and used the on-board radar to search for targets. When approaching to a distance of about 5000 meters from the target, the aircraft dropped the РАТ-52. Torpedoes have a maximum flight trajectory of 5,000 meters in the air and a ballistic trajectory in the water that reaches 500 meters.

Later, in the 1953 exercises of the Soviet Navy, a group of Il-28 bombers, known as "beagles", that is, our H-5, successively dropped РАТ-52, that is, Yu-2, these torpedoes similar in size and shape to dolphins, flew out of the air more than 4,000 meters by rocket boosters and plunged into the water. Main rocket engine ignition! Propelled the torpedo in the water and rushed directly to the target! Obediently, this kind of attack was too grandiose, and the dense group of torpedoes roared in, which was simply devastating, and it shocked the NATO Navy at that time! ”

After listening to Xiaoqiang's story-like introduction, Commander Xiao was taken aback and shouted, "This is good!" This is fucking amazing, the Soviet Union deserves to be a big socialist country, this torpedo is really advanced. It's so enjoyable! Much better than the Americans. But Xiaoqiang, you said that Mao Zi is a little disrespectful, Mao Zi is a description of bandits, you can't say that about the big brother of the Soviet Union. ”

Xiao Qiang's face was black, and he muttered: "Your old man deserves to have studied in the Soviet Union twice, it seems that one time was at the Eastern University in Moscow, and the latter was the Tormachev Military and Political Academy." I can't even say anything about Maozi in front of you. I am also called Mao Zi in front of the chairman. ”

If you want to say that Commander Xiao is also top smart, when he saw Xiao Qiang say this, he immediately said with a smile: "It's okay if you want to say that, I may be a little too old-fashioned, haha, being with a young man like you must make you feel restrained." I apologize to you. ”

As soon as Xiao Qiang saw Commander Xiao standing up and wanted to salute himself, he quickly took Commander Xiao's hand and said:

"I'm joking with you, I treat you as my own uncle to complain to you, if you and I are so clear about etiquette, I won't dare to complain to you in the future."

Hearing Xiao Qiang say this, Commander Xiao laughed loudly:

"You kid said it well! I rely on the old and sell the old, and I will regard myself as your uncle in the future. I'll tell you, if you're not satisfied with me in the future, don't complain, just point at my nose and scold, haha. I like your kid's temperament, haha, good, good, good. ”

Xiao Qiang was also happy in his heart, followed by a smirk, and then said: "Your old man can rest assured this time, as long as the air force masters the flight control of these advanced fighters, let them be your navy's bodyguards, and ensure that the navy will have a smooth journey in the future." ”

Commander Xiao nodded and said vigorously: "But you have already promised me that the weapons introduced next time will be given priority to the navy!" ”

Xiaoqiang replied firmly: "Words count." ”

The hands of the two were clasped tightly together at this time.

As soon as Xiaoqiang was sent off here, Commander Xiao immediately dialed the phone number of Commander Liu Yuelou of the Air Force:

"I said Lao Liu! You're so unkind! What's wrong? What do you say? Let me tell you, you can't move the five-class torpedo machine, you have to keep it for me, I'll send troops to pull it, and I'll fight with you if there's one less nail. And the five and sixth, what do you want to do so much, let's discuss it with the two brothers, and give it to the elder brother......"

Xiaoqiang came home in the middle of the night, so he quickly washed and slept. As soon as I got up the next day, I saw Xu Qishan and Wei Guo from the Intelligence Department sitting in the living room. When Xiaoqiang saw that these two people were coming, he knew in his heart that a new task was about to start again.

Wei Guo greeted and said, "Morning, Xiaoqiang, you hurry up and have breakfast, Qi Shan and I are waiting for you." ”

Xu Qishan said haha: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, you eat slowly, Wei and I will smoke a cigarette." ”

Xiaoqiang nodded and agreed, came to the restaurant, and had breakfast with Yu Fengdongzi.

Yu Feng said tentatively: "Out on a mission? ”

"Hmm."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know."

Dongzi didn't know who to be talking to, and muttered in a low voice, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

Yu Feng's pretty face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly buried his head in the porridge.

Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, my own people." ”

So he hurriedly finished breakfast and went out with Xu Qishan of Wei State.

As is customary, the meeting of the Ministry of Intelligence took place for a day. Lunch was very touching to Xiaoqiang, and the working lunch was usually filled with aluminum lunch boxes, but today Minister Li brought a thermos and poured a cup for Xiaoqiang with his own enamel tea jar. When Xiaoqiang smelled it, there was a sweet smell of jujubes.

Minister Li said calmly: "Your Aunt Zhao said that although she is your adoptive mother in the information, she has no chance to take care of you. You are so busy with work and your schedule is full, she cooked you some red dates and brown sugar soup, you drank it, she was so relieved. ”

Xiaoqiang didn't expect Aunt Zhao to still think about him, but he felt warm in his heart, and his eyes were almost foggy, so he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of the still hot jujube soup, the reddish-brown jujube soup was sweet, and it was sweet to the heart.

After the meeting in the afternoon, Xiaoqiang was first taken to the General Hospital of the Military for a blood transfusion of 200CC, and then went directly to the home of Marshal Xu Xiangqian, the chief of the General Staff and vice chairman of the Military Commission. The old handsome man was in good spirits and full of energy, and he vigorously served Xiaoqiang with vegetables, ordering him to eat more and eat them all.

He doesn't talk much, but he is very practical, and under his short and thick eyebrows is a stronger sense of love. After listening respectfully to the old man's instructions, Xiaoqiang said goodbye to the old man and went directly to the warehouse with Minister Li and others.

When he entered the warehouse, he found that the warehouse wall had been emptied, which made Xiaoqiang unable to understand how the mountains of materials and dense planes were carried out in a few days.

As if seeing Xiaoqiang's doubts, Minister Li smiled slightly, and only said one sentence: "There are many people." ”

Later, Xiaoqiang learned that in order to rush to transport materials, the entire Northern Capital Military Region was mobilized, and more than a dozen comrades were exhausted in a few days. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
