Chapter 551: Jet Fighter
But Zhang Xinghan also understands that even if this is the first helicopter in the true sense of the word, as long as it can be put into service, it will be useful for improving the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, especially the ground forces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's going to be a game-changer.
Helicopters can take off and land at any time, and they are extremely powerful for troop infiltration, small-scale special operations, and large-scale ground attacks.
It is conceivable that if in a traditional positional offensive and defensive battle, when the two sides are in a stalemate, a large number of helicopters of the Chinese Air Force suddenly appear to carry out low-altitude fire strikes from the enemy's positions.
At such a close distance, the lethality of the "pig" and "pig" island "novel" they broke out would be much more accurate and greater than that of the Stuka bomber group.
In particular, the armored units of the US military will become a live target for the helicopter units of the Chinese Air Force.
Because it would have been a natural nemesis of tanks and armored vehicles.
In short, if it has a large number of helicopters, the Chinese army will be invincible in the battle on land.
Of course, helicopters alone cannot achieve an all-round overwhelming superiority over the US military.
So Zhang Xinghan also plans to replace the Chinese Air Force with more advanced jet fighters.
However, the cost of unlocking the jet fighter is also extremely staggering.
After this war against the Soviet Union in Outer Mongolia and the war in the Japanese archipelago, Zhang Xinghan gained tens of millions of enemy kills.
However, unlocking the R-4 military helicopter costs 1 million kills, while the most basic jet fighter, the German ME-262 fighter, costs 2 million kills to unlock.
Keep in mind that this is just the price of their unlocks, and the production of a helicopter and jet fighter will cost as much as 30,000 and 50,000 kills.
However, when he saw the specific performance data of the ME-262, Zhang Xinghan also gritted his teeth and unlocked it, because of such a powerful performance. It has the advantage of being more advanced than this era for nearly ten years, and it is an absolute cross-era fighter, and at this time it is still a fighter powered by a propeller piston engine.
Once the Chinese Air Force can equip them, the superiority gap with the US Navy and Air Force will be greatly increased.
Even if the Americans developed advanced fighters such as the P-51 Mustang advanced model in advance because of the early entry into service of the Zero fighter, then it is not the opponent of the Chinese Air Force equipped with the ME-262 jet fighter.
Because, just by looking at the performance data of the ME-262, you can see how powerful it is.
Its maximum weight is 7045kg/6400kg, crew: 1
Maximum speed: 540mph (870km/h) Ceiling: 11,500m, Maximum range: 1050km. Maximum rate of climb: 1200m / min, combat radius: 1050km
Main armament: 4 x 30MMK108 cannons (100 rounds/piece) or 4 x 30MMK108 cannons (80 rounds/piece)
Secondary weapons: 2 x 30MMK103 cannons or 2 x 30MMK108 cannons or 2 x 20mm MG151/20 machine guns
Engines: 2 x 1980lbthrustjunkerjumo004 baxial turbojets
ME-262A-1B/ME-262A-2A Single-Seat Bomber: Top Speed: 470mph (755km/h)
Primary armament: 2 x 30MMK108 cannons (100 rounds/door) 2 x 30MMK108 cannons (80 rounds/gate) Secondary armament: 500 kg bombs (during bombing) 24 R4M rockets (when intercepted)
At the same time, he also has a ME-262B-2A two-seat night fighter for night combat, and its main armament is: 2 30MMK108 cannons (100 rounds / door)
2 x 30MMK108 cannons (80 rounds per gun) secondary armament: 2 x 30MMK108 cannons behind the cockpit, SG500 armor-piercing cannons (12 rounds) or one 50MMK114 machine gun or 48 R4M rockets under the nose.
Not to mention, the ME-262's powerful firepower, in terms of its speed, is already difficult for fighters in this era to look at the existence of the back of its neck.
However, Zhang Xinghan only unlocked them temporarily. The specific production will have to wait until it returns to the Northeast before it is implemented.
Because it is easier to keep secrets and concealment in Nanjing than in the Northeast.
Therefore, after Zhang Xinghan unlocked it, he went to bed early.
The next day, after inspecting the garrison of the 22nd Division. He returned to Nanjing with Guo Zhong and the guards.
As soon as Zhang Xinghan arrived in Nanjing, Jiang Baili hurriedly found him and said to him: "Commission, I just got the news." The reinforcements of the Americans, probably more than 100,000 army, navy, and air force, have now left the US mainland. Heading towards the Hawaiian Islands. ”
"More than 100,000 people? The Americans came very quickly, but Roosevelt would not think that with his more than 100,000 men, he would dare to attack us, right? Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised and asked jokingly.
Jiang Baili took a step behind Zhang Xinghan and said, "That's the British No, this should just be the advance force of the US army." ”
"It's a pity that our navy doesn't have an aircraft carrier battle group, otherwise we could have bombed all of their naval and air bases in the Hawaiian Islands before the Americans' reinforcements arrived." Zhang Xinghan said with some regret.
"Yes, the Japanese archipelago is six thousand miles away from the Hawaiian Islands, which is completely beyond the effective range of all our aircraft in service, and even if the Flying Fortress bomber group can reach this range, it will not be able to return.
Moreover, none of our fighters can provide them with escort, and without fighter escort, these bombers will be shot down by US fighters and air defense forces even if they can reach the Hawaiian Islands. Jiang Baili said.
Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't mention this, the level of military science and technology has not yet reached that level for the time being, and we still have the most important things to do at the moment."
Brother Baili, I want to go back to the Northeast, you can stay in Nanjing, and I will let Shen Xingye fully cooperate with you. ”
"Yes, okay." Jiang Baili responded and asked, "You want to go back to the Northeast now?" What is there to do? ”
"The Germans have provided us with a batch of advanced fighters, and I will go to the northeast to receive them in person, and send excellent pilots to form a new type of air force.
They will become the absolute main force in the future war against the United States. Zhang Xinghan said.
"Oh." Jiang Baili nodded convincingly.
………………
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xinghan successively summoned Shen Xingye and Dai Li, and after giving them some instructions, he took Guo Zhong to leave Nanjing by plane and flew to the outside of the Guan.
Since Dai Li took refuge in Zhang Xinghan, with Zhang Xinghan's financial resources and support from all sides, he quickly regained control of the military command, which was already almost scattered, facing collapse and being annexed by the Central Union.
This man was also a secret genius, and in less than a few months after he regained control of the military command, he successfully contained the annexation of the Central Command and caused several assassination cases.
It dealt a big blow to the central unification.
Fenghua, Ningbo, Jiang Gong's hometown.
The brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu lowered their heads with shame, allowing Chairman Jiang, who was pale-faced in front of them, to vent his anger.
"Dai Yunong, Dai Yunong, Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, this bastard, dare to betray me! It just doesn't make sense!
Bastards, lackeys! Zhang Xinghan's lackey! ”
Since learning of Dai Li's rebellion, the commander of the entire Military Command Bureau has been like Zhang Xinghan.
Chairman Chiang's anger is conceivable, no, the secret order of the Chen brothers to get rid of Dai Li three times and twice has not succeeded.
On the contrary, the Central Command was defeated by Dai Li's defeated soldiers and lost the city and land.
This made Chairman Chiang lose face, and he was vaguely hated by Zhang Xinghan, and there were great signs of expelling him from the circle of power.
"Commission, Dai Yunong betrayed the leader, betrayed the party and the country, can be described as the most shameless lackey traitor in the world, despicable, he will definitely find a way to get rid of this person!" The young and vigorous Chen Lifu said angrily when he saw Chairman Jiang so angry.
Chen Guofu had to sigh secretly on the side.
Chairman Chiang stopped roaring and fell into deep thought.
"Forget it, the military commander has the support of Zhang Xinghan, and he is in cahoots with the Northeast Secret Bureau, and your Central Command is not his opponent for the time being.
Moreover, now that the Americans have declared war on us, the stakes are high, and we can no longer engage in internal strife for the time being, once we are defeated by the Americans.
Then the Japanese may make a comeback, collude with the Americans, and turn our China into their colony.
Therefore, we should still put the country and the nation first. ”
"But, commission, you are important for the overall situation of the country, Zhang Xinghan may not appreciate it, besides, we have to find a way out for ourselves, we can't go on like this.
If this continues, our Central Army faction will be completely eaten and disintegrated by the Northeast Army! Chen Lifu said.
"Zhang Xinghan is the same as me and the one in Yan'an, we are all staunch nationalists, and when the national crisis is at hand, personal and political grievances have to be conceded.
Zhang Xinghan is not that kind of person, besides, this war with the Americans is likely to cause a big scuffle all over the world, and I will look for a suitable opportunity to let Gu Zhutong and Hu Zongnan lead their troops to fight abroad.
In order to find a suitable place for us to settle down, and plan for the future. "Chairman Jiang has seen more thoroughly, and he has a long-term view.
Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu glanced at each other when they heard this, then lowered their heads and retreated, not saying anything more.
Chairman Jiang sighed, waved his hand to signal them to leave, and walked alone to the window and began to be in a daze. (To be continued......)
