Chapter 1795: The Airdrop Begins

The radio locator sends out a radio signal of a special frequency band, after this signal is received by the receiver, it is directly connected to Zhou Qiang's instrument, according to the position distance, the position is roughly determined, and it is displayed on the display, on the display, there will be two data loading, one is the location of the aircraft, and it will make a comparison according to the surrounding references, of course, the speedometer on the aircraft is also the output of data, the two are relatively compared, and the position will be replaced by the most correct, and the radio signal, It is relatively fixed, determined once every 15 minutes at most, and between the two points, it is the relative position.

The group of planes at a cruising speed of 450 kilometers per hour, according to the direction indicated, towards the target area, they themselves have flown to a distance of about 250 kilometers from the target place, according to the target, the place where the radio signal is transmitted, and their previous destination coincides, the combination of the two, the final determination of the position, can save a lot of effort

If there is no positioning system, they have to determine whether to fly to the position, you know, unless it is a very obvious reference or landmark, most of the land forest, in the eyes of anyone, there is no big difference, can only be based on the direction of the voyage to make an estimate, on the plane, there will be a special navigator, at any time to pay attention to the direction of the aircraft, speed, and then compare with some obvious references, it can be said that in the voyage, the busiest is the navigator.

Stand-alone is good to say, it's a big deal to fly back, but if it's a group, then it's troublesome, generally will choose a few navigators, respectively, to guide an efficiency, and when the future, after the intercom system is popularized, a number of navigators will be sent to cross-pilot, in order to ensure the correct rate, but these can not be compared with the radio, looking at the position of their aircraft, on the topographic map, constantly approaching the target location, Zhou Qiang does not even need to look at the terrain below, according to the radiolocation route to fly over.

Huge fleet, strategic transport aircraft in the middle, surrounded like a hummingbird, is the Eagle fighter, the size of the Eagle fighter itself is not small, he can not be regarded as a light fighter, it is already a medium-sized, even a large fighter, is 5 times the size of the smallest single fighter, but in front of the take-off weight of 220 tons of strategic bombers, it is really a hummingbird, similar subjects, for the strategic air force, I don't know how many times I have done it, the air sequence is quite neat, Fly smoothly towards your destination.

A distance of 250 kilometers may be 3 to 5 days of activity time for an army on foot, and for a tank, it is also a few hours, or even a day's trip, but for an airplane, it is nothing at all, under the cruising speed of 450 kilometers of a strategic bomber, it will only take 30 minutes at most, and if it is an Eagle fighter, he will exceed 700 kilometers at full speed, and it may only take a little more than 20 minutes.

The 30-minute flight can be said to be very close, this is the first day of the Sakura plan, because staying in the prescribed place is basically similar to the planned goal, but in the future, it may not be, especially when entering the United States, to a certain extent, it is necessary to improvise, if there is no such a radio transmitter, it is not easy to find the location of the other party. Although it is said that the entire sky belongs to China, and in this era, there is almost no threat to China's air power, but when it is regarded as training, whether it is a strategic transport plane or an Eagle fighter, it is strictly carried out in accordance with the drill code.

On the ground, after placing the radiolocator, Kawasaki Meijing and Zheng Shuming stood there side by side, according to the agreement, it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, there was at least 45 minutes left, they did not sit in place but found a secluded place next to them, Kawasaki Meijing was full of questions, but unfortunately his questions, Zheng Shuming couldn't answer, Zheng Shuming is an engineer, it's a pity that he is a tank engineer, the level is not low, if this engineer is in the United States, if he has some interest in flying, may know a little bit about airplanes, but in China, professional things have to be handed over to professional people, aircraft engineers do not know much about cutting-edge tanks, and tank engineers do not know about airplanes either.

Zheng Shuming also knew what Kawasaki Meijing wanted to ask, bluntly said that he didn't know, which also made Kawasaki Meijing have no way, their two supreme commanders, just sit here and wait quietly, there is not even much communication, Zheng Shuming does not know Japanese, but Kawasaki Meimei's Chinese is good, but worried about the result of today's airdrop, the two people even have an interest in talking.

"It's coming!" The heralds came to report that not only did they wait here, but also sent enough observers on the mountains next to the valley, as long as they had a certain understanding of the planes and looked specifically into the air, such a huge group of planes could not be avoided, on the high mountains, without any shelter, they could see dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, and then they began to prepare again, although there was still some distance from here, but at most ten minutes, they could reach the vicinity of here, and they all stood up, Go to the bearish zone.

Zhou Qiang has determined the radio signal, 70 kilometers away, began to slow down and descend, in order to ensure safety, the plane has been flying at an altitude of 13,000 meters, which is also the highest altitude of the aircraft, but also the most suitable height, not only the safety is very high, but also the most economical flight consumption, start to airdrop, it can not be above this height, airdropped materials, in order to ensure safety, must use a parachute, this is not a parachute, you can choose to open the parachute at a lower altitude, the height does not matter, This is the whole parachute airborne, when the material is projected, the parachute will be opened, in this case, it is really necessary to drop the parachute at 13,000 meters, God knows when it will be able to land, and the most important thing is that it is not easy to control.

It's not parachuting, people can also adjust the position of the parachute and go to the target place, and the airborne can only be within the general range, so you must land at a high altitude, otherwise, God knows where everything goes.

Two people for the time, the estimate is very good, a few minutes later, a huge roar in the sky, at this time the plane has landed in the air about 1500 meters, mainly strategic transport aircraft, they can not be like a helicopter, landed dozens of meters in the air, not only the lowest in 1500 meters, but also need to have a certain speed, otherwise, can not support such a huge volume, but the Falcon, in the design, has the role of a dive bomber, he can be as low as 200 meters below, But it is impossible to hover at low altitude for a long time.

But the falcon is in charge of escorting, he can't go to the airdrop, he can also carry about a ton of supplies, but it doesn't have much effect, and even the height hasn't dropped much, hovering around 5000 meters to be on alert, fortunately, at this point in time, there is no cloud, and there is no danger in sight.

The height of 1500 meters is already much smaller for some things, but this is a strategic bomber, with a maximum take-off weight of 220 tons, and at 1500 meters in the air, it is still huge and terrifying, at least Kawasaki Meijing is the first to bear the brunt.

He is also an officer of the Young Zhuang faction, he has seen tanks and the navy, but it is a thing about the size of a small warship, floating in the air, this feeling is definitely different, China is really strong, no wonder it will choose such a method as airdrop.

Zhou Qiang looked at the underground in the distance, near the open space, specially cleared out of several work sites, the Japanese army had already placed identifiers, because of the obstruction of trees, even on the high mountains in the distance, it was not easy to see what was here, but in the air, from the air downward, but it was unusually eye-catching, the most important thing is that there is also radio guidance, the error range of this guidance is large, and it is impossible to do accurate guidance, but the combination of the two makes it easier for the aircraft to find their position, which does not rely on radio positioning, came to the vicinity, and saw the target to be dropped at a high altitude.

According to the agreement, each time, about 1,200 tons of fuel, about 200 tons of supplies and other items, as for weapons, they will be contacted by radio to replenish, in the logistics materials, except for a small part of the spare parts, most of them are weapons, other daily consumables, basically, are dependent on airdrop supplies.

There are still more than ten kilometers away from the target position, and the speed of the plane has also been reduced to about 180 kilometers, and it can't be less, and if it is less, it will lose lift, and they will hover here for 1 hour to carry out airdrop operations, and the things that have been packed will be projected out of the cabin in turn.

In fact, at this time, the tail of the aircraft, the huge cabin has been opened, and the guide rail dedicated to the empty head has already been installed in place, and all the materials are wrapped into large boxes, and then through the tail, little by little projection, the airdrop field opened up, to put it bluntly, is just a target position, and it can be regarded as a more eye-catching target in the air. It looks huge, thousands of square meters of circle, but compared to the airdrop, it is a little worse.

After locating the position for the last time and instructing all the planes to start the airdrop operation in accordance with the established procedures, Zhou Qiang also pressed the red button on his console, which is the signal to start the airdrop, located at the tail of the plane, where is the airdrop point, the red light keeps flashing, and the soldiers in charge of the airdrop began to push the airdrop materials of those parcel numbers, and the umbrella flowers flickered in the air and fell down.
