In Yang Tianfeng's view, the only merit of these two Soviet-series aircraft is the air-cooled engine of the Wright R-1820 series.
Combined with the extremely light body mass of the wooden aircraft, the first-stage mechanical pressurization, the advanced laminar flow airfoil, the scientifically advanced fuselage design, the propeller with two blades and three blades, and the 12.7mm heavy machine gun equipped with piercing explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, it is a fighter that can compete with the Japanese fighters in service and has an advantage in many aspects.
"According to the several test flights under my subordinates, although I did not reach the limit, I feel that the flight speed and dive speed have been greatly improved." Han Zhen was describing to Yang Tianfeng, "It's just in the horizontal maneuvering at medium and low altitudes, but it doesn't seem to have improved much, is it that the weight has increased too much in order to strengthen the wings and fuselage?" ”
Nonsense! Lao Tzu This is a targeted design, with better glue, supplemented by part of the aluminum alloy of the original aircraft, to strengthen the strength of the wings and fuselage, specifically to resist the Zero fighter.
It's right to be fast, dive fast, hit and run! Whoever is playing grappling with Zero at medium and low altitudes, that's the head show funny.
Yang Tianfeng thought so in his heart, but said: "Although wooden planes have some advantages in lightness, fast speed is the greater advantage. When the two-stage two-speed supercharger is successfully manufactured, the high-speed performance of the aircraft will be improved. ”
"The speed and vertical maneuverability of the Yi-16 are quite good, and compared with the Japanese Type 96 and Type 97, at most it is only slightly worse." Zheng Shaoyu, a newcomer, interjected on the side: "In my opinion, what needs to be strengthened is the ability to hover horizontally. ”
Zheng Shaoyu is a senior pilot with considerable combat experience, who has shot down Japanese Type 96 fighters and has also been damaged by Japanese fighters. He made a judgment based on his own experience, of course, due to the heavier aircraft and the poor ability to hover horizontally at low speeds, it is indeed the weakness of the I-16.
"Well, this, horizontal grappling, will not be the mainstream of the development of world fighters in the future." Yang Tianfeng groaned and said: "Our tactics should also focus on speed, and the hit-and-run tactics are not only very witty, but also suitable for the current situation of our country with a low level of aviation industry." Strive for the biggest victory with the least loss! ”
Liu Zhihan snickered beside him, and there was also a hint of sneering. He is also a successful pilot, and he thinks that Yang Tianfeng is a layman, and he even says that horizontal grappling is outdated.
Yang Tianfeng's eyes were sharp, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and sneered: "Don't think that if you have the achievements of shooting down the Japanese plane, you don't want to make progress." There are only a few kinds of planes for the Japanese, and they will not develop new fighters? Can China's aircraft production capacity be compared with Japan? There are a lot of planes purchased from abroad, but how many are left now, can they withstand the numerical advantage of Japanese aircraft? If you don't play smarter, isn't there something wrong with your head? ”
Liu Zhihan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say any reason to refute it, and hurriedly straightened the expression on his face.
"The improved aircraft has improved maneuverability, speed, vertical maneuverability, and even horizontal maneuverability compared to the original." Yang Tianfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to the fighter plane that rushed out of the mountains, "Since there is an improvement, why not improve?" Why not use assault means to contend with the Japanese planes, not only to achieve results but also to reduce losses? I feel that I am an expert and a veteran pilot, why don't I use the old aircraft of World War I to meet the Japanese planes? ”
"The military seat laughed." Han Zhen was playing a round on the side, smiling and diverting the topic, "Uh, that, the Japanese are really developing a new aircraft?" ”
Yang Tianfeng hesitated for a moment, feeling that the Zero fighter would fly to China in three or four months, and it would not hurt to say it in advance now, so he said slowly: "According to intelligence, the new fighter developed by the Japanese will soon be put into the Chinese battlefield. Because the range of the Type 96 and Type 97 was insufficient, the main purpose of this new fighter was to serve as an escort for the bombing of the large rear. ”
When it comes to the 96 and 97 voyages, this is more professional. Zheng Shaoyu felt reliable, so he asked tentatively: "What is this new fighter called?" In addition to the range, what are the advantages? ”
Yang Tianfeng grinned and said, "It's called Zero Dan'er." After everyone's laughter stopped, he pressed down his hand before he said solemnly: "In addition to the super long range, this aircraft has nearly 1,000 horsepower, and it is extremely good in climbing and maneuvering. In terms of intelligence, Zero Daner is currently one of the best fighters in the world. Compared with it, Yi 15 and Yi 16 have no strength to fight at all. ”
"So powerful?" Liu Zhihan let out a sound of surprise, and also revealed his disbelief.
Yang Tianfeng glanced at him, sighed, and said, "When the time comes, you will know how powerful it is." If you are willing to be modest, master the new fighters that have been refitted, use new tactics, and make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you will not be beaten to hide in Tibet, and you can only watch the Japanese planes wreak havoc and watch our military and civilians being bombed and strafed. I think that as an air force, enjoying high treatment, but not being able to give back to the country and the people, that is probably the biggest shame, right? ”
"General Yang, my subordinates understand." Zheng Shaoyu solemnly lowered his head.
Liu Zhihan let out a long breath, nodded vigorously, and turned his gaze to the new plane flying in the air and maneuvering.
The aviation industry in the border area started late, and it was only with Yang Tianfeng's knowledge that he cobbled together so many planes. The bottleneck of large-scale production is the engine, and the engines of different varieties, models, shapes, and powers also restrict the large-scale production and manufacturing of aircraft.
Therefore, Yang Tianfeng has taken a fancy to the largest number of Soviet-made fighters in the current national * army air force, and the unified engine is quite favorable for large-scale modification. It is not only to increase the strength of the devils, but also to save the lives of innocent people in the rear.
At the same time, Yang Tianfeng's modification is also profitable, and if he rechanges 10 planes, he can keep one or two, and he can also apply to the state government for the transfer of qualified personnel and apply for funds for refitting, which will enable the level of aircraft manufacturing in the border areas to continue to improve.
Instead of waiting for the Zero to fly to China and control the entire sky after shooting down hundreds of national military planes, it is better to modify those aircraft that are already lagging behind, and then conduct targeted training for the weakness of the Zero. Even if you can't defeat the Zero, you can reduce your losses. Then use the radar early warning to choose the opportunity to dispatch, and you can also fight the Japanese plane without warning.
The aircraft, which had been improved three times, made more and more difficult maneuvers in the air, occasionally passing over the playground at high speed, attracting bursts of applause and noise.
After the finalization of the form, three more fighters will be refitted, and then these four fighters will be trained by Zheng Shaoyu and others in adaptive flight and two-plane formation, and they will return to the rear after about two or three months. If the government trusts Yang Tianfeng and Zheng Shaoyu and others in the evaluation report, the modification of the aircraft can be carried out continuously, and at least four aircraft per month can be completed. By July and August, more than 20 planes with near-zero performance will be added to the air force of the national army.
Approach, it is not enough to withstand the Zero, but in addition to the performance of the aircraft, air combat also has coordination and tactics. For example, the Flying Tigers, driving the Mustang P-40B, are not as maneuverable as the Zero, but relying on the advantage of fast dive speed, they use high-speed diving, hit-and-run tactics to avoid entanglement with the Zero, and also achieved a very good record, and the loss is small.
"It is reported that Japan's Zero Egg fighter is loaded with a 20mm cannon and has very strong firepower." Yang Tianfeng has become accustomed to using words such as "reported" and "maybe", and only those who know him well know what he said will be true, "but the performance of the cannon is not good enough, and the excessive pursuit of the light weight of the aircraft leads to insufficient strength, the effective range of the cannon is short, the trajectory is curved and scattered, and the continuous firing performance is also poor, and there are only 60 rounds of ammunition." And the point 50 heavy machine gun equipped on our aircraft is more than its cannon in range and trajectory, and the power of special ammunition is more than zero eggs. ”
This time, Liu Zhihan honestly started to record. Yang Tianfeng said the truth, and he became more and more convinced that it was true.
"If you're rear-ended by Zero, take a quick dive to get out of it, and remember to dive to the left and not to the right." Yang Tianfeng continued to talk about the weakness of the Zero Style, "Remember not to use climbing methods to get rid of it, and don't chase after Zero Dan who has climbed sharply. The Zero has an excellent rate of climb and turning radius, but the dive speed is its drawback, and the movement performance is also severely reduced at high speeds. Therefore, in the battle with Zero Eggs, speed is the most critical, you must maintain high speed, and never engage in low-speed grappling, which is purely looking for death. ”
After speaking, Yang Tianfeng pointed at Liu Zhihan and the others, and said: "I have already compiled these things into materials, you don't have to record them, you can also study them well afterwards." Although the Chinese Air Force is weak, as long as it persists for another two years, it will inevitably make great changes and achievements as the situation changes. You have a long way to go! ”
……………
At the beginning of 1940, on the very day that Wang's puppet regime was proclaimed, the US Government took the lead in issuing a solemn statement of non-recognition and announced that it would provide a $20 million loan to the Kuomintang government.
As early as July 1939, the United States adopted economic sanctions against Japan and abolished the "US-Japan Trade Treaty"; Since September, the scope of the US "moral embargo" against Japan has also been gradually expanded, and this is also a major blow to Japan. At that time, imports from the United States accounted for nearly half of its total overseas imports, and its bulk strategic materials were imported from the United States.
In Yunxiu Tower, Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek had just finished an internal meeting, and his tone changed drastically, and the negotiations with Japan held in Hong Kong in the name of Soong Ziliang not only raised the price, but also strengthened it a lot.
In Chairman Chiang's view, a conflict between the United States and Japan is inevitable, and the US move is undoubtedly an economic declaration of war against Japan. The international environment for China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is improving, and the situation in which the Chinese military and civilians are fighting alone is also being reversed.
Yang Tianfeng's predictions can be said to have come true one by one, which made Chairman Jiang pay more attention to it, and he was basically convinced of the background behind him. And the forecast of the international situation just sent by Yang Tianfeng naturally made him more concerned and analyzed and studied more carefully with the think tank.
"The definition of China's aid system is very accurate." Chen Bui nodded appreciatively, "Aiding China is to enhance China's ability to further resist Japan and help China become a place that constantly entangles Japan and consumes Japan's strength; The purpose of the Japanese control was to create some difficulties for the Japanese invading forces in terms of armaments and materials. However, the upper limit of this policy is to avoid a head-on conflict with Japan and to buy time for the United States to prepare for simultaneous operations in both oceans. ”
"In other words, the United States will not go to war with Japan in the short term." Chairman Jiang's brow furrowed.
Chen Bui pondered for a moment and said: "The United States' aid to Britain is generous, which also verifies Yang Tianfeng's judgment of the US government's strategic policy of 'Europe first and then Asia'. That being the case, Yang Tianfeng's concern that the United States appeased and compromised Japan in order to avoid a conflict with Japan in the Far East as much as possible is also quite well-founded. ”
Chairman Jiang was speechless for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The United States has already approved the loan, and judging from its attitude, it seems that there is no need to worry too much. Of course, the necessary work and preparation still have to be done. For example, loans were used to rush to buy a batch of urgently needed strategic materials and rush them back from the Yunnan-Burma international communication line. ”
Chen Bui nodded, and then suggested: "In addition to loans, the donations of overseas Chinese in Nanyang can also be used greatly. ”
Speaking of the donations of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, Chairman Chiang couldn't help but show a wry smile and said: "I have already sent telegrams to Wei Junru in the First War Zone and Yang Tianfeng in the Shandong-Henan-Anhui Border Region, asking them to entertain Chen Jiageng and his party well, hoping to reverse Chen's bad impression of the national government. ”
In the spring of 1940, Chen JG, a patriotic overseas Chinese leader living in Singapore, led a delegation back to the motherland to express his condolences to the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians with the earnest entrustment of the vast number of overseas Chinese in Nanyang. Chairman Chiang attached great importance to it and ordered that the reception should be done at all costs and that the guests would be satisfied. But when he asked for it, it had the opposite effect.
Mr. Chen JG is a patriotic old overseas Chinese from the League. After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, as the chairman of the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association", he was responsible for the work of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to support the motherland's anti-Japanese war. Under the leadership of his organization, the vast number of overseas Chinese donate money and materials to China every month. Over the past three years, the vast number of overseas Chinese have raised a total of more than 400 million "national dollars" for the motherland through the association, and countless materials have been raised.
After the completion of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the lifeline of the Anti-Japanese War, there was a shortage of drivers and repairmen. As soon as Chen JG ascended the heights, more than 3,000 overseas Chinese youths waved goodbye to their relatives and braved the enemy's artillery fire to rush to transport military supplies day and night. It can be said that without Chen JG and the vast number of overseas Chinese, the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression would definitely have been postponed.
In accordance with the spirit of Chairman Chiang's instructions, the Nationalist Government set up a large welcoming committee, which was composed of more than 20 important party, government, and military departments, including the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Finance, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee.
In the face of extremely tight finances, sufficient funds were also set aside for the reception, of which the banquet alone amounted to 80,000 yuan, which could buy 800 cattle at that time!
In this way, Chen JG had no time to do business during his days in Chongqing, and was forced to exhaust himself in various banquets every day. But no matter what delicacies from the mountains and seas, Chen JG can't swallow a mouthful.
He knows how short of money China is at the moment. "Tight at the front" and "tight at the rear" turned out to be the norm for officials of all sizes in the capital during the war, which made Chen JG disgusted and painful: Can such a government lead the whole people to the national disaster? Is there any hope for national revival? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
