The weather in early summer, with cool breezes, blue skies and cloudless skies.

Early in the morning, Ye Feng's off-road vehicle appeared at Xiaoshan Airport, and today, Ye Feng will take a flight from Xiaoshan Airport to Ningbo, accompanied by Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan.

As soon as he got off his off-road vehicle, Guo Weiquan said to Ye Feng: "Military seat, the plane is ready, do you board the plane now or wait a little longer." ”

Looking at the huge Xiaoshan Airport, Ye Feng also wanted to take another look at this airport and see the officers and soldiers of the First Air Division, but Ye Feng wanted to reach Ningbo as soon as possible.

So, Ye Feng said to Zhao Long: "Let's board the plane immediately and go to Ningbo Airport." ”

The planned Ningbo Airport is only larger than the scale of Xiaoshan Airport, and the Ningbo Airport can provide large bombers and large transport aircraft after the completion of the airport, which is an out-and-out large airport.

Ye Feng's plane Guo Wei ordered the First Air Division to prepare early on, this is a C-47 transport plane, there are several such transport planes in the entire First Air Division, and today Ye Feng is only one of them, and these C-47 transport planes are naturally exchanged by Ye Feng through the "Nuwa" system before.

The C-47 transport aircraft, also known as the air train transport aircraft, is a twin-engine piston military transport aircraft developed by the Douglas Company of the United States, which is modified from the DC-3 passenger aircraft, and the prototype made its first test flight in December 1935.

In later generations, the aircraft has been put into production in many models, with a total of more than 10,000 aircraft. At that time, the C-47 had the advantage of better flight performance. Equipped with the U.S. Army Air Corps, it became its main military transport aircraft in World War II, mainly used to air transport supplies and soldiers. It is also possible to drop paratroopers.

After World War II, the C-47 also continued to play a role, such as the United States Air Force flew C-47 aircraft to transport supplies during the Soviet blockade of the West Berlin passage from June 1948 to May 1950.

A C-47 transport plane had been quietly parked on the take-off runway, several crew members had already prepared to take off, and Ye Feng slowly boarded the plane along the gangway.

Everyone is done boarding. The plane taxied slowly, accelerated, and then took to the skies. Fly in the direction of Ningbo. Riding in this plane, Ye Feng felt that this plane was much better than Lao Jiang's transport plane in terms of performance and comfort. Lao Jiang's plane was matched in addition to speed. Being able to fly up to 300 km/h has little merit.

"This aircraft is good, and Ningbo Airport will be equipped with some of these aircraft after it is completed." Ye Feng sat on the plane, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the porthole, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

No wonder Ye Feng likes this transport aircraft so much, in later generations, the C-47 series is the most famous all-metal structure military transport aircraft in the Second World War, and the main characteristics of its structure and shape are reflected in: the fuselage is shorter and thicker and streamlined. The upper part of the nose is a 2~3 person cockpit, and there is a large hatch on the left side of the rear fuselage; The wing is a cantilever lower wing. Symmetrical twin engines on the leading edge of the inner wings on both sides; The tail wing consists of a cantilevered mid-flat tail and a single vertical tail; It adopts a retractable rear three-point landing gear.

The C-47 provided the Allies with highly mobile air transport capabilities during World War II, and was widely used in various battles, especially in the Airborne Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Pacific Campaign, the New Guinea War, and the Burma Campaign (R4D, C-47 Naval Version), as well as the Hump route from India to China and the large-scale airdrop of West Berlin during the post-war blockade of Berlin, and the United States also provided C-47 and C-53 to the Kuomintang government during the War of Resistance against Japan through the Lend-Lease Act.

Guo Weiquan sat next to Ye Feng, feeling this aircraft with excellent performance, Guo Weiquan said happily: "Military seat, this plane is good, we can rely on this kind of aircraft to form an airborne force in the future." ”

Ye Feng nodded, and Ye said approvingly: "The C-47 transport aircraft is also known as 'Albatross', the performance is good, I can consider this suggestion of yours, we can form an airborne force." ”

Ye Feng and Guo Weiquan chatted about the time and passed quickly, the distance between Ningbo and Hangzhou is more than 100 kilometers, which is more than half an hour for the C-47 transport aircraft.

The plane was about to reach Ningbo Airport and began to reduce its altitude, when a soldier came over and reported: "Military seat, Chief of Staff, Ningbo Airport will be here soon." ”

"Oh! So fast. Ye Feng hurriedly looked outside the plane, at this time, the plane was lowering altitude, and in front of the plane was the huge Ningbo Airport.

On the Ningbo Airport, a large construction is underway, thousands of people, two or three thousand soldiers are building the Ningbo Airport, the entire Ningbo Airport is only a rare airport, however, there is a long runway has been built first.

This is a straight and spacious runway, which can provide large bombers or large transport aircraft to take off and land, and the long runway, Ye Feng visually measured it, is about two thousand meters long.

The skills of several pilots and fighters piloting this C-47 transport plane were very good, the plane landed accurately on the runway, very smooth and smooth, Ye Feng almost didn't feel the impact and turbulence, the plane landed, and the plane began to taxi, slowing down.

The plane came to a stop, the chief engineer Liang Xiaolong walked quickly towards the stopped plane with several people who looked like engineering technicians, Liang Xiaolong is a professional civil engineer from the "Nuwa" system, and, with large-scale construction everywhere, a few months ago, Ye Feng upgraded Liang Xiaolong to a senior professional, and spent 10,000 merit points.

At this time, Liang Xiaolong's professional level, the top civil engineers of this era could not catch up, and he was several streets behind, Liang Xiaolong was responsible for the construction of Ningbo Airport and Ningbo Military Port, and was the chief engineer of these two construction projects. The design of the entire Ningbo Airport was designed by Liang Xiaolong.

Ye Feng slowly stepped off the C-47 transport plane, looking at more than a dozen people who came to greet him, including Chief Engineer Liang Xiaolong, Ye Feng smiled.

"Good military seat, good chief of staff!" Liang Xiaolong was also dressed in a military uniform, standing straight and upright, and saluted a standard military salute.

"Hello everyone, everyone has worked hard." Ye Feng returned a military salute, his face full of kindness.

Liang Xiaolong was a guide, and took Ye Feng to inspect the entire Ningbo Airport, Liang Xiaolong talked endlessly, as if he had endless words, and introduced Ningbo Airport to Ye Feng in detail.

"Junzuo, this is our largest military airport, a few points larger than our current Xiaoshan Airport in terms of scale, you look around, we have demarcated a clear space area around the airport to limit the height of the features, and our planes take off and land without obstacles, even large transport planes and bombers."

"Our Ningbo airport consists of three parts: the flight site, the combat service support facilities and the troop barracks. The flight site is equipped with a runway, an insurance track, a taxiway and an apron, and the runway is used for aircraft take-off and landing taxi, which is the main body of the flight site. Operational logistics support facilities include operational command, aeronautical engineering support, and logistics support facilities. The barracks of the army are places where all kinds of personnel live and move. ”

"Our Ningbo Airport is built in accordance with the standard of a first-class permanent airport, and the runway and support facilities are permanent, which can be used by aviation troops all year round. Runway length: The runway length is 2600~3000 meters, which can be used for large transport aircraft and large bombers to take off and land. In the future, our airfields may become an important target for air assaults. Therefore, we have strengthened airport protection, especially the deployment of anti-aircraft firepower, and improved the ground survivability of aircraft. additional alternate runways and road runways; construction of aircraft fortifications and evacuation areas; Strengthen the airport's anti-aircraft defense and rapid repair capabilities"

Speaking of Ningbo Airport, Liang Xiaolong seemed to have endless words to introduce, Ye Feng kept smiling, listening carefully, and nodding.

The ordinary people who participated in the construction of the airport, a large number of soldiers, finally someone recognized Ye Feng, a common man who was working, looked at Ye Feng from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Look, everyone, that's Commander Ye, that's General Ye." ”
