Chapter 1624: Airborne Radar

On the one hand, China is making such a large reconnaissance plane, mainly for the accuracy of reconnaissance, such a reconnaissance plane has a huge dead weight, can be loaded with a large number of personnel and equipment, the crew can reach 31, including 3 pilots, a navigator, 21 machine gun shooters, and 7 personnel responsible for reconnaissance, to a certain extent, the crew is more than the heavy bomber.

But on the other hand, with the help of high-power radar and walkie-talkies, such a reconnaissance aircraft already has the ability to initially command, which is what China needs most, and with the growing size of the Chinese Air Force, China currently has more than 25,000 fighters of all kinds, only heavy strategic bombers, more than 4,000, not to mention the Firebird fighter and all kinds of medium-sized bombers, HNA aircraft, a huge fleet of aircraft dispatched, bringing carpet bombing, there will also be some regional battles, China already has a walkie-talkie, this tool, in the command of operations is more important, if there is an air radar, then it is a primary command aircraft and early warning aircraft. ,

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about the importance of early warning aircraft, such a huge reconnaissance aircraft, already has the basis of early warning aircraft, on the premise of circling at cruising speed, can stay in the air for 14 hours, which is unique in all reconnaissance aircraft, but it is a pity that the radar miniaturization, the project of installing the aircraft, is currently in the midst of intense public relations, the current progress is slow, otherwise, at the beginning of the 20 th century, early warning aircraft with preliminary command functions will be born.

With the help of a large number of new equipment, the Owl reconnaissance plane can fly over a huge area at an altitude of 12,000 meters and at a speed of 550 kilometers per hour, and the 14-hour air stay time represents a radius of at least 3,500 kilometers or more, and can thoroughly reconnoiter a radius of several hundred kilometers around it, which is enough to provide them with reconnaissance services and command services.

China has built a large military base in Urumqi with the longest runway of 5,000 meters, including 18 runways of various types, and the overall hangar and airport can accommodate 1,300 aircraft, which is the largest airport in Xinjiang and an important military airport that radiates to the entire west.

Urumqi is China's western gate, under the premise that Siberia is in hand, China is near Xinjiang, only to guard against enemies from Central Asia, the strength of these countries is not strong, neither now nor in the future has not produced a strong country, perhaps guerrilla warfare can drag down a superpower, the real cross-border combat is scum, even if Urumqi is a little far from the border, hundreds of kilometers, but it is convenient to put there for transportation and supplies, and it is finally determined here.

Now, in order to facilitate the supply of the Bolsheviks, the front has been pushed forward several hundred kilometers at once, and it is suddenly pushed up on the border line, which is a waste on the premise that there are not many territorial claims for importance, but fortunately, the Chinese air force is strong, and a little waste is acceptable.

The regular runway is under intense construction, but the reconnaissance planes have already begun to move, and on the second day after more than 500 planes are transferred, routine reconnaissance begins, first of all, of course, all kinds of small ********, they will monitor the cities of Kazakhstan that have been recorded and repressed, to see if there are any new changes in the cities, whether the locations of some settlements are the same, whether the other side is gathering troops, and whether the other side will have an impact on the next war.

The performance of small and medium-sized reconnaissance planes is good, especially the small ones, in fact, they are an improved version of the Northwest No. 1, which has strengthened its structure and reduced its size, and because it uses wooden planks and some composite materials, this reconnaissance plane initially has the ability to stealth, and the reflective surface on the radar is only 1 square meter so large, and if it is slightly negligent, it is easy to miss this as a bird or a bird.

Small and medium-sized reconnaissance planes have such and such advantages, but the reconnaissance equipment they carry is portable, and while it is convenient to carry out, there is no way to compare their performance with that of a real complete body, and small and medium-sized planes do not have the conditions for all-weather reconnaissance, and they lack infrared and thermal imaging displays, so they can only conduct reconnaissance during the day with the help of natural light, and in some rainy weather and weather with low visibility, he will not be able to conduct reconnaissance.

On the contrary, it is a large reconnaissance aircraft, with all-weather reconnaissance capabilities, can be dispatched around the clock, especially at night, if one side is weak, can not obtain an advantage under the premise, they can only rely on the night under the cover of activities, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression China is like this, the Japanese army has this equipment and air superiority, to survive the Japanese blockade line, most of them are at night and in the tunnels activities, but with the premise of this large reconnaissance aircraft, this is no way, Unless the density of reconnaissance planes patrolling just misses them, otherwise, under the thermal imaging technology and infrared technology, perhaps through one or two people will be harmless, dozens, hundreds of them will be undoubtedly displayed on the thermal imaging.

On the fourth day of the special aircraft session, the ground crew did a good job of maintaining the large reconnaissance plane, and the reconnaissance detachment composed of four large reconnaissance organizations began to act, and when the huge reconnaissance plane slowly drove out of the hangar, the ground crew cheered, and most of them were just ordinary ground crews, most of them were ground support for light and medium-sized aircraft, and large strategic bombers and reconnaissance planes were the first time, and almost with the help of some of the crews of reconnaissance planes and bombers, this was the basic support.

The reconnaissance plane slowly sailed out of the hangar, and unlike the black paint of the large bomber, the reconnaissance plane used a blue and white paint, and this kind of paint simulated by the computer has a certain camouflage effect under the blue sky and white clouds, and it is not easy to be discovered.

The fuselage is as high as 7 meters, very much the feeling of a large passenger plane in later generations, after the tractor pulled to the maximum runway of 3,500 meters, this plane slowly took off, they are to take over the work of the light reconnaissance plane, with 8-10 hours of work, carpet search into the area, the previous small reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance project combined, as first-hand information.

The huge reconnaissance plane began to accelerate on the runway, from slow to fast, until the 3,500-meter runway was about to end, at a position of about 3,000 meters, the plane began to take off, higher and higher, straight to an altitude of 10,000 meters, after reaching this height, they will turn to level flight, fly over the national border, and then the plane and the plane's lower belly reconnaissance equipment will begin to work, carpet search for everything in Kazakhstan.

Today, a similar reconnaissance plane formation will take off 12 planes, one every two hours, and they will follow a fixed line to thoroughly reconnoiter everything in Kazakhstan; just when the reconnaissance planes in Ili began to take off in turn, Baotou, the president's residence, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the far west, and according to the time calculation, I am afraid that the reconnaissance planes will take off for reconnaissance, and the battle for Kazakhstan of the Bolshevik army will soon begin.

If it is just reconnaissance, it is enough to put in 30 medium and light reconnaissance planes and more than 20 fighters, and there is no need to invest 500 fighters, but Yang Yuanzhao insisted that if it were not for the opposition of the air force, he would even mobilize 1,000 planes.

The reason for this, the battle of Kazakhstan, I am afraid that it will be China's last exercise, even if it only uses the strength of the air force and some special forces, it all represents China's most cutting-edge strength, the intelligence from Germany, the United States at this moment, crazy to make warships, it is expected that by the beginning of next spring, there will be 50 capital ships, at least 400 light cruiser warships, and then a huge fleet will be formed to fight a decisive battle with China in the Pacific Ocean.

Even if China has air superiority, but the air force has not really arrived on the battlefield, if lucky, the US fleet is concentrated, he can call on land-based and aircraft carrier battle groups to send them into the sea at one time, but if they are not concentrated together, they can't be beaten passively, wait for them to concentrate, there is only one chance to use the aircraft, once it is used, the United States will definitely make adjustments, even if it can't make the same level of aircraft, anti-aircraft machine guns must be there, plus Britain has tried to make aircraft carriers, With the current relationship between Britain and the United States, Britain has it, and the United States has it, and they may not be the opponent of the fleet aircraft carriers, but if the United States shows its crazy energy to make battleships, it may come up with more than 100 escort aircraft carriers like World War II.

On the one hand, with the opportunity of entering Central Asia, he will further train the cooperation of China's air force, and on the other hand, Yang Yuanzhao is also working hard to make weapons that will allow China to gain absolute superiority.

Radar, airborne radar, this is the only weapon Yang Yuanzhao can think of, the emergence of radar, so that the radar shrouded in the range, the army sneak attack has completely become a thing of the past, then after the radar is installed on the plane, the kind in World War II, obviously found the right position, but passed by the aircraft carrier Things will not happen, before the decisive battle with the United States at sea, this radar must be loaded on the aircraft, even if the function is not perfect.

If it is said that the search of the reconnaissance plane relies on the camera and the human eye is the point, then the airborne radar is the surface, a point, and the range that the eye can cover is only a few kilometers during the day, and the clouds are a little thicker, and the weather is a little gloomy, and the role of the reconnaissance plane will be reduced to the minimum, but the radar is different, even if it is only 15 to 20 kilometers of exploration range, this radar is also a surface, with him, the role of the reconnaissance plane is much greater, and its own combat effectiveness will occupy an absolute advantage, plus the reconnaissance advantage, Even if the United States is as lucky as it is, it is unlikely to be an opponent of China's task force.

It's just that Yang Yuanzhao underestimated the difficulty of installing airborne radar into the aircraft at the beginning of the 20th century, the space on the aircraft is limited, the weight is limited, even if it is installed with a heavy reconnaissance aircraft, it is not enough, and even Yang Yuanzhao himself has invested in the radar laboratory, but the progress is still stuck there, and no radar can be installed on the aircraft.
