454: What is the Air Force?
Regardless of the situation in the outside world? What about public opinion? Within the Chinese Empire, the top brass have never forgotten their position and are always working towards that goal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If the international situation was not very clear in the past few years, then now, the international situation has begun to gradually become clearer, the haze before the world war has begun to appear, Germany is not satisfied with the current status quo, even if it defeats France on land, but in fact it is still subject to the restrictions of Britain and France, and there are not enough colonies, Germany cannot develop at all.
Now it looks like they're the winners, but really? They had only won a military victory, but they still had to lag behind Britain and France in terms of economy and resources, and Germany was desperate to increase their strength, and at the same time did not hesitate to divert the trouble, for what purpose? Go without saying.
But for the Germans to block the knife with potential teammates, it still caused dissatisfaction on the part of the Chinese Empire, especially Wang Sirui, who didn't care about the Germans' previous evil deeds, although they cheated each other in cooperation, but it can only be said that both sides have their own needs, and it is not who cheats whom.
The Germans' abacus is quite loud, but others are not fools, Britain, France, the United States and other countries were confused by the Germans for a while, but Wang Sirui, as a party, will be confused by the Germans? You Germans want to see us fight on the battlefield in Russia and consume our strength, why don't we Chinese want to watch you fight, and then we will sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen?
Everyone has their own little calculations, but the way the Germans do anything to achieve their goals is still very annoying.
So, Wang Sirui gave a very frustrating order, first to send the Russian engineers out of the factory, let them return to Germany, anyway, everything they should have learned is almost done, and it is not a matter for them to stay here all the time. And this time these people leave, the Chinese side doesn't care, you can go how you want, there is no need to tell me, I don't need to cover for you, since you Germany have done this kind of thing, then don't blame me for not being merciful.
On the other hand, after the departure of German engineers, all factories were shut down, and the production line of the Boar tank was completely renovated, leaving only one production line for the production of spare parts, and the transformed production line, plus the newly established production line, the annual output was about 2,000 tanks, but this was far from enough, and more tanks and infantry armored vehicles and other models were produced later, which was extremely large.
Therefore, the goal for the plant is to achieve an annual output of 2,000 tanks (No. 2), 1,000 self-propelled guns, and 10,000 infantry armored vehicles in the next three years. Except for tanks and self-propelled guns, which are a little more difficult, infantry armored vehicles have basically no problems.
The production of infantry armored vehicles is not too difficult, the engine of a tank No. 2 is installed, its armor only needs to withstand 75 mm infantry guns, its focus is on speed and protection, there are no requirements for vitality, only an anti-aircraft machine gun is required, and the rest of the firepower can be drilled in the side of the armor, and the soldiers inside will act as firemans when they come.
And there are almost no technical barriers to this research, after all, the tanks have been successfully studied, and there is experience in the research and manufacture of armored vehicles, so it is enough to carry out the overall transformation directly according to the new requirements. The speed of research on infantry armored vehicles can be described as a day-by-day progress, and it is expected that by the end of the year, it will be almost finalized, and the factory building is under construction, and the supporting machinery and equipment can be manufactured only after the research is successful.
It only takes a year for them to be able to equip the troops in a whole formation, and once they are equipped with infantry armored vehicles and a small number of self-propelled guns, then the armored division in the real sense will already be considered alive, and at that time, the combat effectiveness they exert will be even more amazing, and there is no problem in describing it as unstoppable.
Of course, if you just think that the hole card of the Chinese Empire is like this, then it can only mean that you have been out, self-propelled artillery, not yet named, is internally called the No. 2 tank, armored infantry vehicle, these are actually just one of the killer features, the Air Force, is the real sense of the killer feature.
Although the Air Force is not as effective as infantry in ground attack, no one can ignore the importance of the Air Force, reconnaissance, bombing, combat, transportation, and of course, the more important Airborne Forces.
At the same time, in the uninhabited mountainous area west of Luliang, Shaanxi, one side of this is the research area of the research institute, and a few kilometers away is the newly built factory, a factory with an annual output of 3,000 aircraft, of course, this is only the theoretical maximum design capacity, with the current quality of equipment and workers, it is not bad to be able to produce 500 aircraft per year.
This is because the current aircraft is very simple, not as complex as the aircraft in the later decades, and the technology required is so high.
Like research this kind of thing, the sooner the chance of success, because there were no industry rules at that time, everyone can design according to their own ideas, once your concept is ahead of others, then your concept will become the industry rules, everyone must design according to your concept, to learn, which also increases the difficulty of their research, and your side will be more and more relaxed, the same reason.
Now the aviation industry has just started, when these international students go to study, the aircraft can not even stay in the air stably, in this case, as long as the ability to solve the aircraft in the air, it is already considered the world's leading, so it is difficult to cultivate their own aviation talents? It's not hard at all.
At the back of the institute, there was a makeshift cabin, guarded by heavily guarded troops, and no one was allowed to approach it without permission, not even those inside, who were not allowed to leave the place without the permission of the base's supreme commander.
And the supreme commander of this base is Wang Lin, that's right, Wang Lin, who served as the chief instructor of the special forces, and Wang Sirui's personal guard.
Follow Wang Sirui all the year round, there are some important things or something, Wang Sirui always habitually teaches Wang Lin to do, the most important thing is that Wang Lin's understanding is very high, and he is deeply appreciated by Wang Sirui, so, after the special forces are on the right track, Wang Sirui transferred Wang Lin back to his side, and began to instill in him the concept of the Air Force, and when Wang Lin has learned almost, he can answer Wang Sirui's questions fluently, Wang Lin came here and became the supreme commander of this base, and this base contains the research institute, plant, as well as this Air Force Academy.
In the various troops, these old fritters on land may not be the best soldiers, but their physical condition is the most suitable after selection.
Today is also the second day of the Air Force Academy, and there are a total of 497 cadets in the entire Air Force Academy, but there are only four teachers who teach the classes, one of whom is Wang Lin, and the remaining three are responsible for explaining the performance of fighters, aerodynamics, aircraft take-off and landing, and other subjects.
The classroom of nearly 500 people is not good, even if the hearing problem is solved, it is difficult to solve the vision problem, but because of the lack of enough teachers, and there is no advanced equipment such as projection in later generations, it will be a great waste of time to separate the personnel, and it will delay the graduation time of this group of students, so they can only take the local method, that is, to find four teaching assistants, and the teacher will hand over the class materials to them in advance before each class, and when the teacher writes on the main blackboard, they will follow what is written on the blackboard on the side of the teacher. Make it as visible to every student as possible.
"Yesterday everyone already had a basic understanding of our school, so today, let's talk about what is the Air Force? To put it in layman's terms, the Air Force is a unit that flies in the air and in the sky, but it can only fly, it is not considered the Air Force, since it carries a military word, it represents the army, represents the war, and you can understand it as an army fighting in the air.
The Air Force is divided into two categories, ground support and combat. Needless to say, ground crew, that is, before the plane takes off, they are responsible for making all combat preparations, such as refueling the aircraft, replenishing ammunition, and overhauling the aircraft, so as to ensure that the pilot can fly the aircraft into the air and fight directly. We will not focus on this aspect, and then there will be a special ground handling subject, and your task is combat. Wang Lin drew a circle on the word combat and marked it emphatically.
"The combat units of the Air Force are divided into several different categories, which are mainly divided according to the different tasks performed, that is, reconnaissance, combat, fighter-bombers, strikes, bombers, strategic bombers, transport aircraft, etc., and specific tasks are divided according to the different performance of the aircraft.
For example, the reconnaissance plane, his task is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance, the main purpose is to reconnoiter the enemy situation for the army and navy, and when necessary, it can also reconnoiter the enemy situation for the air force.
Fighters, needless to say, are used for combat and can use their own weapons to deal with all air targets.
Fighter-bomber, this is a combined version of a fighter and a bomber, but to put it bluntly, it is to carry a few bombs on the fighter for bombing, throw away the bombs, then it is a fighter.
Attack aircraft, mainly used for ground support, mainly to destroy the enemy on the ground, can be infantry, can be artillery, can also be baggage team, etc., as long as it is a ground target, it is within its attack range.
The bomber is another version of the fighter-bomber, but the difference is that it does not have the ability to fight like a fighter, and sometimes it can not even protect itself.
The strategic bomber, its speed, ammunition carrying, defense capability, and defense breaking ability are stronger than the bomber, and it can carry out long-range bombing missions alone, for example, if we take off from here and bomb the Japanese mainland directly, except for the strategic bomber, other aircraft cannot do this.
Finally, there are transport aircraft, which have many uses, can transport army materials, can also directly carry infantry, and in the future, it is not excluded to directly airdrop infantry to the battlefield behind enemy lines for operations. (To be continued.) )
