Chapter 22 Flying an airplane is harder than a car

The Toyota sedan raced ahead, did not slow down on rough roads, and did not slow down even when turning, and the tires rubbed against the ground violently, making a squeaking sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Two armored vehicles were in hot pursuit, heavy machine guns kept strafing, sudden, and the bullets hit the ground and splashed dust. Since both sides are moving at high speeds, it will be difficult to hit.

Toyota and the armored car were both set at the top speed to speed off, out of the three miles, a second lieutenant in the first car stared in the rearview mirror, saw that there was only one armored car behind, and immediately ordered the driver: "Yamaki, reduce the speed!" ”

Yamaki was stunned, and then shifted to low gear.

The machine gunner on the roof of the car was getting up and saw the speed of the car decrease, so he shouted: "Yamamoto, why did you reduce your speed?" Hurry up and catch up with the Tyrannosaurus rex, we're doing a great job! ”

"Bastard, have you forgotten that the other party is a tyrannosaurus? He deliberately lured us away from the large army, and our two armored vehicles were not enough for him to stuff his teeth, and he had to wait for the large army to come up. The lieutenant scolded.

When the machine gunner heard this, his fingers trembled, and he actually stopped firing and watched the car run farther and farther.

Long Xiaotian drove the car desperately, treating the Toyota as a racing car, the trees on the side of the road whirred back, the wind whistled in his ears, and the car bumped from time to time. Ignoring it, he hurried forward. He didn't want to be surrounded by devil armorers, he would be unlucky. Turning a mountain road, Long Xiaotian looked back and saw that the armored car was nowhere to be seen, so he relaxed a little, identified the direction, and ran towards Dajiaochang Airport.

Seeing the airport gate from afar, Long Xiaotian got into the car to check the car, which was good and intact. He leaned over to the rearview mirror to observe his face, and it was not bad, Rendan's beard did not fall off. He pulled a cloth from under the seat cushion, wiped the car, then set the wires under the ignition and drove unhurriedly towards the airport.

The airport guards saw the division commander's special car from a distance and immediately called to report to their superiors. Soon, a captain in a flight suit greeted him at the door with four pilots.

The Toyota slowly stopped at the door, but did not turn off. Long Xiaotian glanced at the Japanese soldiers who greeted him, and the leader of the team was a captain, with a sky blue collar badge, wearing a combat uniform, and a cotton hat with anti-sand glasses.

Long Xiaotian opened the door and got out of the car and walked over calmly.

"Report to Captain, Captain Takeo Kato, Squadron Leader of the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Brigade, 16th Wing of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force, welcomes Your Excellency." Takeo Kato looked at Long Xiaotian and immediately saluted.

Long Xiaotian did not return the salute and said: "Kato-kun, I am Yamashita staff officer, and the division commander was entertaining distinguished guests at a banquet, and suddenly remembered the airport problem, so he sent me to check the combat readiness. Now there is an enemy army in Nanjing, you know. ”

"Hello, Yamashita-kun. We heard that the enemy army is called Tyrannosaurus, which causes a lot of annoyance to the imperial army. Kato Takeo replied seriously, thinking that the retinue of the division commander was big, and he was also a captain, so I saluted him and he didn't return the salute.

"In the 12th year of Showa, that is, in October last year, the airfield of Yangmingbao was destroyed by the Eighth Road, and the division commander was worried that the tyrannosaurus would destroy the airport here, so let me check it." Long Xiaotian said.

"Captain, please, check the guidance." Keno Kato said, his face was full of respect, and he thought to himself, it seems that the division commander trusts this captain very much, and actually let him drive his own special car.

"Please sit in the car and take a look." Long Xiaotian said.

"Thank you." Takeo Kato happily got into the car.

Long Xiaotian watched the car circle around the airport. Seventy or eighty 95 fighters and bombers were parked at the airfield, all of them with biplane propellers painted with the red sun logo. There were tall watchtowers on all sides, with two men on duty, both with a machine gun.

Long Xiaotian pretended to observe and said, "The defense during the day is not bad, but it is necessary to strengthen the defense at night, and the tyrannosaurus is good at night attacks." At night, fixed sentry posts and mobile patrols should be increased. ”

"Yes." Takeo Kato agreed, with a look of admiration.

Long Xiaotian stopped the car, looked at the fighter jet, showed a look of longing on his face, and said: "Kato-kun, when I was a child, I was most eager to be an aviation soldier, soaring in the sky, looking down on the earth and mountains, I felt too majestic. When I was younger, I also studied at the aviation school for a year, but unfortunately later joined the infantry. I really envy you to be an aviation soldier and be promoted to squadron leader. Your best record is...... Oops, the division commander once mentioned it to me and forgot. Long Xiaotian showed a trace of guilt on his face.

Receiving the compliments of the Yamashita staff officer and the attention of the division commander, Kato was very proud and said: "In the first battle of Shanghai, I shot down three enemy planes and damaged one. It was there that I became famous and rose from detachment leader to squadron leader. ”

"Yes, yes. Look at me, I was so dazed by the Tyrannosaurus rex today that I can't remember your heroic deeds. This morning, the division commander also told me that the conquest of China must rely on a strong air force, and Kato-kun should become a wing commander and be promoted to major general. Long Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Thank you for the kind words of the division commander." Kato said excitedly.

Seeing that Kato was carried away by himself, Long Xiaotian struck while the iron was hot and said, "Kato-kun, I'm very eager to see how you operate the plane, is that okay?" ”

"Absolutely, it's my pleasure. Please pull up to the trainer. Kato said, pointing to a trainer plane in front of him.

Long Xiaotian drove the car over, stopped, turned off, and then followed Kato into the cockpit. As soon as he saw those machines and equipment, Long Xiaotian was a little dumbfounded, my mother, there are so many things, there are many more than cars. He quickly called up the information of the Japanese training plane in his mind and compared it with the real thing.

"Please put on your flight suit." Kato said.

Long Xiaotian immediately put on a flight suit and put on an anti-sand goggle.

Kato pulled the hatch cover, glanced at Long Xiaotian, then started the fire door, pushed the throttle stick forward, the throttle increased, the plane roared, slowly taxied forward, turned to the runway, the throttle increased, the speed of the plane suddenly increased, and the wind was speeding. After taxiing for 300 meters, Kato pulled the lever back, and the nose of the plane was raised, and suddenly, it flew into the air. Long Xiaotian has been closely observing Kato's movements, and every detail has been seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.

Kato caught a glimpse of Long Xiaotian's serious face, and he was very proud, and when he controlled the pedals and joysticks, the plane kept turning and climbing.

The afternoon sun shines on the ground, and the mountains and trees become small when viewed from the plane, and a large area can be seen at a glance.

"It's so beautiful!" Long Xiaotian said in a way, and couldn't help but speak Chinese.

"What did you say?" Kato turned his head to look at Long Xiaotian.

"I just spoke in Chinese. The division commander said that Japanese soldiers should learn Chinese and better conquer the Chinese. Long Xiaotian replied cleverly.

"The division commander is really wise, and I will also learn Chinese in the future." Kato said seriously.

The plane circled for more than ten minutes and then landed.

Long Xiaotian exclaimed: "Kato-kun's skills are really high, and he deserves to be the squadron leader." I will definitely recommend Kato-kun when I go back, and I hope you will improve as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you Yamashita-kun for your help." Kato said excitedly, nodding his head.

"Can you please Kato-kun teach me how to fly a plane? After all, I haven't touched an airplane in years. Long Xiaotian said sincerely.

"Of course." Kato said. The two switched places and sat down. Kato explained to him some precautions. Long Xiaotian began to practice starting and sliding.

Kato saw that Long Xiaotian was not very rusty, and praised and said, "Well, it's good, it seems that Yamashita-kun studied well back then." If you join the Air Force, you will definitely become an ace pilot. ”

Half an hour later, Long Xiaotian was already proficient in gliding, and then practiced flying.

Kato said solemnly: "There are several points in the flight. When taking off, pay special attention not to pull the lever too hard after accelerating to the take-off speed, and ensure that the tail of the aircraft cannot wipe the ground when the nose is raised. The key when flying in the air and turning is to cooperate. When turning, you can't just push the pedals, but also push the lever a little to the left or right to tilt the fuselage properly to turn around. It's like riding a bicycle to turn, you can't just turn the handlebars, but you also have to lean a little bit with your body. Landing is more complicated, push the joystick forward to reduce the height, but when grounding, you can't always let the nose land first. Therefore, after landing on the runway, let the plane drop in altitude, and at a certain time, pull the rod to ensure that the nose is up, let the rear wheels hit the ground first, and pay attention to the angle, not to rub the tail. After the rear wheel hits the ground, quickly push the lever to let the nose fall, close the throttle, and brake. ”

Listening to Kato's words, Long Xiaotian took it to heart, and practiced the movements repeatedly after turning off the fire. Kato's hand-in-hand teaching next to him made Long Xiaotian very moved. It wasn't until more than an hour had passed that Long Xiaotian was finally familiar with the manipulation process and the essentials of his movements. He let out a long sigh and said in his heart, flying a plane is really much harder than driving a car.

At this time, the rumbling of tank motors sounded outside the airfield, and dozens of armored vehicles and tanks approached the airfield. A pilot ran to the side of the training plane, looked panicked, took a deep look at Long Xiaotian, and said to Kato: "Report to the captain, the co-captain has something important to ask you for, please come down." At the same time, he glanced at Kato and asked him to pay attention to Long Xiaotian.

"At this time, it is almost dark, there is no combat mission, what can be important. I'll go back later, I'm accompanying the staff officer to practice flying the plane. Kato said impatiently, he now regards Long Xiaotian as a pillar to climb up, and naturally he wants to be almost courteous.

"No, please come down immediately." The pilot said anxiously, making his eyes look at him again, asking him to pay attention to Long Xiaotian.

"Bastard. I said I'll go back later, and you should go back and report to the Wing Captain first. Kato retorted.

The pilot turned around and walked to the side.

Long Xiaotian laughed secretly, of course he knew what the pilot meant, the Japanese army had discovered his true identity, but he was afraid of endangering Kato, so he deliberately separated Kato.

Long Xiaotian stood up and observed, a large number of armored vehicles and tanks appeared in the distance around the airport, and the airport was already heavily surrounded. Long Xiaotian couldn't help frowning, it wasn't so easy to escape.

"Kato-kun, I want to test the flight myself, can I?" Long Xiaotian smiled, his eyes showing longing.

"Absolutely. I'll take care of you. Kato laughed.

Long Xiaotian took a deep breath, followed the steps to start the plane, taxied, and flew into the sky, and it was all at once successful. Long Xiaotian laughed.

Kato seemed to be happier than Long Xiaotian, and exclaimed: "Yamashita-kun is really an amazing imperial genius, he can fly smoothly after only one year of study." ”

After circling for a while, Long Xiaotian piloted the plane and began to land. Kato stared nervously at Long Xiaotian, constantly reminding the action: "Stabilize your emotions, lower the nose, okay, raise the nose again, raise it a little higher!" ”

The rear wheels of the plane hit the ground, snorted, and rubbed out a string of sparks. Long Xiaotian quickly pushed the rod, the nose of the plane was lowered again, the front wheel hit the ground, the accelerator was closed, the brakes were braked, and the huge and restless plane finally slowly stopped. Kato let out a sigh, and Long Xiaotian also let out a sigh, moving his spine, and his back was soaked.

Long Xiaotian stepped off the training plane, looked at a fighter jet, and said, "I want to fly a real fighter jet!" ”

Kato hesitated.

Long Xiaotian didn't care about him, he climbed straight onto a 95 fighter jet, opened the cockpit and went in, and ignited it.

Kato had a look of suspicion on his face.

Long Xiaotian slid up and shouted at Kato in Chinese: "Hahaha, little devil Kato, thank you for teaching me to fly a plane, hahaha!" For the sake of your meritorious face, I won't kill you! ”

Although Kato couldn't understand Long Xiaotian's words, he could see that his demeanor and tone were the same as the two of them just now, and turned into ridicule and hatred. Kato was confused.

At this time, the pilot just ran over and said, "That person is a tyrannosaurus!" ”

"Ah......" Kato was furious and chased after the plane, but the plane was getting faster and faster. Kato turned around and ran to a plane, started quickly, looked at Long Xiaotian, who had already taken off, and said angrily and happily: "Tyrannosaurus, you are a tyrannosaurus on the ground, but when you go to the sky, you will become a reptile, and it is easier for me to kill you than to pinch an ant to death!" ”

Two 95 fighters roared into the air one after the other.
