Chapter 162: Old Friend

May 1938 was a busy month for Lin Jun, and while he was busy with his graduation thesis at the college, he also had to take care of the affairs of the equipment department: because several of the new weapons he had "designed" were put into mass production, and the other designs were entering the final stage of tackling tough problems, as the first supervisor, he was already so busy that he didn't even sleep well. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But no matter how busy he was, he took the time to inspect the trial production of the MiG and Yak fighters, and he was very satisfied with the conclusion that the Soviets were about to have three new fighters.

Mikoyan's I-200 test aircraft has outstanding high-altitude performance, and its firepower is equipped with the same firepower system as the Lag-3 in accordance with the requirements of the design indicators, which is much stronger than the MiG-1 recorded in history. Yakovlev's I-26 tester had already completed its initial flight tests, and unlike the I-200, it focused on low- and medium-altitude performance, and had the same firepower, except that two 12.7 mm machine guns were moved from the top of the engine to the inside of the wings. The I-26 Navy prototype I-1, which was supplied to the Red Navy, has also been completed and will fly by mid-June.

The advantages of the weapon system are obvious, as it facilitates production and reduces the pressure on the troops' logistical support.

In order to be suitable for use at sea, the I-26 Navy is very "luxurious" to use an all-metal fuselage design, two-thirds of the main wing is not foldable everywhere, in order to save valuable aircraft carrier space, but also strengthen the landing gear, and the performance is estimated to be not much different from the basic model. Fortunately, the demand for carrier-based aircraft is not large, otherwise it is really difficult to get enough aviation aluminum alloy indicators.

Since the two new fighters had specific design indicators from the very beginning of their development, avoiding detours, and judging from the performance of the prototype flight test reaction, the performance had already met the design requirements, Lin Jun "generously" issued mass production licenses for the two land-based fighters, and also personally named them the MiG-1 and Yak-1.

Within a month, he personally tried to fly three new fighters: the Lager 3 has excellent performance at medium and low altitudes, especially below 3,000 meters, and can also be used as a ground support aircraft if necessary; Compared with the Lager 3, although the low-altitude maneuverability of the Yak-1 is not as good as the latter, it has more comprehensive performance and is basically a "all-round" fighter; The MiG-1 is simply the king of medium and high altitudes, and can dominate at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, with a maximum speed of 670 kilometers per hour at an altitude of two-thirds of fuel and full ammunition at an altitude of 7,000 meters.

The performance of the three aircraft has been slightly better than Lin Jun's historical memory in various indicators, especially in terms of range, which is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the MiG-1, which is mainly used for high-altitude flight, even exceeds 1,200 kilometers; In addition to the Yak 1's 595 km/h figure, the top speed has exceeded the 600 km/h mark, and the maneuverability and maneuverability are acceptable.

In response to the improvement of performance, the MiG-1 is no longer the MiG-1 with poor maneuverability in Lin Jun's memory, so the production license was given, and the next step is to arrange the production tasks of each factory.

It will take time for the formation of factory production, troop equipment, and combat effectiveness, and the most optimistic is that the Soviets' new fighter fleet will not be able to form a certain combat effectiveness until the end of this year, but Lin Jun is already very satisfied -- this is two years ahead of history! Soviet fighter designs had caught up with Britain and Germany, and Lin Jun no longer had to worry about the huge threat from the Mercedes 109 as he did in Spain.

The 109 will be revised, its performance will continue to improve, but the talented Soviet designers will not be satisfied with the existing design: the finalization of a new aircraft is the beginning of a revision of the design of a new model.

Compared with the "expected" development of fighters, the development of carrier-based attack aircraft was somewhat unexpected by Lin Jun: according to Tupolev, he should be the main one, but now Polikarpov, who is a "visitor", has teamed up with Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi, another outstanding aircraft designer of the Soviets, to make a design similar to the Su-2 light bomber, but the "tonnage" is slightly larger.

Tupolev's old subordinates united with Polikarpov, which provided more energy and time for Tupolev to specialize in twin-engine and multi-engine bombers, and the "Polish-Soviet combination" was obviously extraordinary, the new design could not only be used as a fish attack aircraft, but also as a horizontal bomber, and the relatively young Sukhoi also designed a single-engine carrier-based dive bomber alone, both aircraft have been out of the drawing stage, and in a few months they can be tested and provided to the Red Army Air Force between the service of fleet aircraft carriers.

On May 28, in his dormitory at the Military Academy of the General Staff Headquarters, Lin Jun was rushing to work on his graduation thesis under the guidance of Rokossovsky and Malinovsky.

It's not okay not to cheat, although this is just a superficial article, Lin Jun will get an "excellent" even if he copies papers everywhere, but he has to deal with it anyway. How much did Lin Jun learn in less than three months of further study, and what he told his wife in his own way was "God knows"! Although the words seemed a little discouraged, this was basically the case - even if he was an immortal in three months, he couldn't learn much, not to mention that Lin Jun didn't stay in the classroom for half the time.

But it's better to learn than not to come, at least some of the common sense of corps operations has been understood, and the situation of reimbursing one's own troops in an hour "maybe" not happen, but the effect of learning will only be known when there is a real opportunity to go to the front line in the future.

"Andrey, if you can be trusted, I will be your deputy in the future if you want to command the ground forces." Both Rokossovsky and Malinovsky had said similar things to Lin Jun in private, which touched him a little - the two friends had not made friends in vain.

If there really was such a day, Lin Jun would probably be the boss again, hand over the troops directly to these two commanders, and take care of the aviation affairs himself--he would be relieved to have either of them with him.

While Lin Jun and the others were immersed in writing, Gusev came in to report that an Air Force officer had visited, and he was an old friend of Lin Jun.

It turned out to be an old friend, Fedor Petrovich Porainin, who had beaten the Japanese devils together in China.

"Comrade Porenin, you want to kill me!" As soon as I saw someone, I gave him a bear hug.

Porenin gave a standard salute: "Hello, commander-in-chief." ”

When he was in China, Andlupf was the commander-in-chief, but people sometimes called Lin Jun this irresponsible general adviser, and the familiar title made Lin Jun feel more.

"This is Comrade Polenin, the leader of the bomber squadron when I was in China, he is a famous combat hero in the air force aiding China, and these two are Comrade Rokossovsky and Malinovsky, excellent commanders."

After introducing each other, several people sat down, "When did you come back?" Still leaving? ”

"I just arrived in Moscow the day before yesterday, and I should stay in Moscow, and the Minister of the Air Force, Comrade Arksnis, just yesterday talked to me, and may ask me to be the chief inspector of the Air Force piloting skills (this is the official title)."

"Well done, congratulations! This is a good thing, it is supposed that you need a brigade commander to hold this position, and it seems that your rank will soon be promoted again. Lin Jun said that something suddenly came to mind: "After coming back, I was too busy to care, did Andlupf and I pass your title before leaving China?" ”

"I came back this time to receive commendation."

"Good, good!" Lin Jun is sincerely happy for his old subordinates, and he is a "Hero of the Soviet Union": "How is the war situation in China now?" The information that came back was not nutritious. ”

"Commander-in-chief, there is something I want to tell you, it is about Nanjing."

Po Renin's face did not look very good, which made Lin Jun's heart become uncomfortable.

"According to the internal report, the Japanese devils slaughtered more than 200,000 civilians and soldiers who laid down their arms and surrendered, what is the situation?"

"Comrade Andrei, far more than that, the Japanese army slaughtered the city for 3 months after occupying Nanjing. After you left, I reconnoitred the deployment of the Japanese army on the Yangtze River twice, and the floating corpses on the Guangjiang River were more than 50,000, and the river was red. The head of the Chinese government's secret service, the high-ranking official named Qian Dajun who left Nanjing on our plane, told me privately that they expected more than 300,000 civilians to be slaughtered in Nanjing! ”

"Fucking bastard! Your grandma! ”

Although he knows the history, Lin Jun is still furious when he hears the news!

Porenin could understand the meaning of Lin Jun's hysterical shout in Chinese, because he had heard it many times from his Chinese brothers in China, and the others, although they did not understand it, knew that Lin Jun was cursing the Japanese in the most vicious language.

"Three hundred thousand! The Japanese are all beasts! Brute! Everyone thought after hearing Porenin's words.

If Lin Jun had the atomic bomb on hand now, he would definitely throw it in Tokyo, in all cities in Japan!

Adjusted his mentality, "These beasts will be punished, I hope that one day we can destroy this beast country with our own hands, if it can still be considered a country!" ”

Everyone didn't speak for a long time, "Have you seen Comrade Andlupf?" ”

"Not yet, I came to you just after dealing with the affairs of the Air Ministry, and I haven't contacted Comrade Andlupf yet."

Lin Jun needed to divert his attention, walked to the desk and picked up the phone, and connected to Andlupf's office: "Hey, come to my house for dinner in the evening." What the? Not in the city, back to Zhukov. Porenin returned to Moscow, and Rokossovsky and Malinovsky, as I mentioned, came to me. ”

Put down the phone, "Don't write, let's go, go to my house for dinner, everyone has a good gathering, I'll be in charge."
