Chapter 83: The Growing Donghui Naval Aviation
As early as December 1922, the Little Devil Navy successfully completed combat training flights on the Fengxiang light aircraft carrier. After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, they had the actual combat experience of taking off and landing aircraft on many occasions.
In contrast, Li Guidan and his land-based pilots who came out of the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army are like newborn babies who need to mature step by step through continuous hard training and exploration.
Since joining the Donghui Naval Aviation Corps and coming to Shuguang Island to receive carrier-based aircraft training, six fighters have been damaged on the simulated aircraft carrier deck platform due to many accidents, such as operating errors and rushing out of the deck runway after landing, and three pilots are still lying in the hospital on Shuguang Island for treatment because of their injuries of varying degrees.
Absolutely no jokes can be seen by little devils!
Li Guidan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, then took two deep breaths, and said through the wireless microphone: "Sea Eagle 1-205, spread the wings." ”
With his briefing, the folding wings of the F4U-1D Corsair slowly unfolded.
"The wing is spread out and locked, the right wing is normal, the left wing is normal." Li Guidan continued to report to the command tower of the ship island in accordance with the operating procedures for the take-off of aircraft carriers: "The tail transmission is normal, the radio navigation is normal, the engine speed is normal, and it can take off at any time!" ”
The two front wheel ejection rods of the "Corsair" were already snapped into the ejection slides of the hydraulic ejection device at this time.
After the signal guide came over with his head bowed and checked it, he made sure that the front wheels of the carrier-based aircraft and the ejection slide were tightly matched, and then he retreated to a safe distance and signaled that Li Guidan could continue the next step.
"Agree to take off!"
Hearing the tower command from the headset, Li Guidan slowly pushed the throttle, and the F4U-1D "Corsair" carrier-based combat attack aircraft was suddenly tightly tauted by the catapult containment, like a taut slingshot.
"My dear, let's fly together, let us soar in the sky, let us stay united forever. Because of you, I have unparalleled strength, and because of me, you have a brilliant life. Whether it is the Three Qing Dao Ancestors, or the Buddha, the Bodhisattva of the World, they are all with us! Li Guidan began his routine take-off prayer again.
With the huge elastic force suddenly erupted from the hydraulic catapult, Li Guidan's whole person was suddenly pressed tightly on the ejection seat by the powerful inertia, and the whole person was unable to move by this huge force.
When this pressure disappeared, Li Guidan pulled the nose of the plane suddenly, and the F4U-1D "Corsair" carrier-based combat attack plane quickly climbed high and rushed into the blue sky with a roar.
Immediately after that, another F4U-1D "Corsair" piloted by Gao Zhihang, numbered "Sea Hawk 1-201," repeated Li Guidan's steps just now, flew out of the deck of the aircraft carrier smoothly and smoothly, and soon formed a two-plane formation with Li Guidan to maneuver and hover over the aircraft carrier.
Watching one carrier-based plane after another take off safely into the air, the captain of the "Yamato" aircraft carrier, Toshiichi Kira, slowly lowered the telescope in his hand and muttered: "The flying skills of the Chinese people are really excellent. ”
"Because they have received the most rigorous training from the 'devil female instructor' of the Donghui Naval Aviation on Paradise Island!" Deputy Captain Yamaguchi said slowly:
"Donghui Navy also has a very advanced flight simulator that is able to train the best pilots in the shortest possible time. If we can also get this technology, the naval aviation of the empire will definitely become the most powerful naval aviation in this world! ”
"I've also heard of that kind of flight simulator, which is said to be the top high-end technology equipment unique to Paradise Island." Kira Shunichi looked in the direction of Paradise Island with infinite fascination, and said with a sigh: "According to the agreement reached between His Majesty the Emperor and King Donghui, we must train five hundred qualified carrier-based pilots for the Donghui Navy before King Donghui agrees to open that kind of flight simulator to the Great Dongying Empire and Germany. ”
"The scientific and technological power displayed on Paradise Island is at least thirty years ahead of our Great Dongying Empire!" Yamaguchi Tashi said solemnly: "Junichi-kun, we must win this kind of opportunity for our aviation!" No matter how hard and tired you are, you have to successfully complete this training task! ”
"Yes! Must be done! Kira nodded vigorously.
……
The sun is setting.
The foredeck of the battleship "King" sprinkled with the colorful light of the sunset.
Seeing that there was not a single plane dropped in today's sea trials and sea training, and there was not a single landing safety accident, Cheng Gong finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
If it weren't for Cheng Gong's ruthless opening of the simulation training room at the Paradise Island Air Base to the young air force officers and men under the command of Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan, even if Gao Zhihang and the others had the talent to pilot, it would not have been possible to complete the take-off and landing combat training of carrier-based aircraft in such a short period of time.
Since the little queen has promised that even if the armies of all the countries in the world join forces, it will not be possible to conquer Paradise Island, Cheng Gong is no longer worried that the secret of the Aleutian base will be taken away. Once this heart knot is opened, Cheng Gong suddenly has a feeling that everything is going well.
Without any worries, Cheng Gong of course let go of his hands and feet and issued a series of instructions.
At present, except for the Rock Mercenaries stationed on Dawn Island to ensure the safety of some immigrants on the island, the rest of the young officers and soldiers from the army, navy, and air force and their families have all been moved to Paradise Island. In just one month, the population of Paradise Island has exploded to 1.5 million!
In order to relocate the population from Shuguang Island, Cheng Gong even used all the four "Yamato-class" aircraft carriers and 32 Keeling-class destroyers prepared for the Dongying Navy as transport ships.
It can be said that during this month, the Dongying Navy and the German Navy who came to Paradise Island for sea trial training were both excited and painful.
Such a good ship was actually used by the king of Donghui to transport immigrants, which made the Great Dongying Empire and the Great German Empire embarrassed!
Compared with the envy and jealousy of the officers and men of the Dongying Navy and the German Navy, these former officers and soldiers of the former country and their families who have joined the nationality of Donghui are so surprised that they almost have their own doubts in a dream.
Because, the environment, infrastructure construction, and housing conditions on Paradise Island really deserve to be called "Paradise"! It's so elegant, too beautiful, too luxurious, too comfortable, too convenient, so practical!
High-rise buildings, neat and flat and wide roads, neat military camps, green belts of grass and trees, bright white street lamps, and strings of colorful neon lights...... All this made those officers and soldiers who had stayed in the British and French concessions in Shanghai shout:
"Compared with Paradise Island, Huhai is simply a slum!"
During this period, the World Trade Organization, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and the Chongming Island system have basically been recognized by the governments of the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Germany, Dongying, Italy, and other countries, and have signed a draft for a trial period of one year. It has brought great convenience to the transportation of daily necessities for the people of Paradise Island.
All in all, this month, Paradise Island is the hottest topic of discussion in the media, newspapers, and magazines of all countries around the world!
Among all these hot topics, the "super private armed yacht" of King Cheng Gong of Donghui is undoubtedly the focus of the most attention of the countries and militaries.
