Volume II Chapter 043 Building the Air Force II
Lanzhou Air Base, said to be the base, is actually just a relatively spacious flat land, on the side is a small control tower, on the left is the hangar, on the right is the barracks, the only bright spot is that the airport flat ground is all hardened with cement, than most airports or loess and grass are much more regular.
Although the Lanzhou Air Base is still too shoddy in Li Keji's eyes, it is already a very high-end airport for new pilots.
After the convoy stopped at the outskirts of the base, Li Keji got out of the car with all the pilots, and saw from a distance that the base personnel were already waiting at the entrance.
Without waiting for Li Keji to say hello, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun, who had been waiting for a long time, led people to greet them, and enthusiastically pulled Li Keji and said: "Mr. Li, in order to wait for you as a great god, we have been waiting for a long time, and now we are finally looking forward to you." ”
"Commander Liu, Political Commissar Xiao, the focus this time is not me, it is these flight instructors, with them, the air force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army can be slowly cultivated." Li Keji did not answer the words of the two, but led the Soviet and Russian pilots behind him.
"Yes, yes, look at me, I was so happy to see Mr. Li that I forgot about our flight instructors." As a political commissar, Xiao Yizun naturally couldn't stare at Li Keji like Liu Zhendong, bypassing Li Keji and saluting the Soviet and Russian pilots who followed him.
After a simple welcome ceremony, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun introduced the group to the base, and instructed the base personnel to bring all the flight instructors down to make arrangements, and then the two pulled Li Keji alone to ask when the plane would be handed over to them now that the base was available and the personnel were complete.
Looking at the eager appearance of the two, Li Keji couldn't help but want to laugh, but at this time, he couldn't tease them anymore, so Zhengse said: "The plane has already been put into storage, haven't Commander Liu and Political Commissar Xiao checked it?" ”
"The plane is in storage?"
"When?"
Although Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun had just arrived at the Lanzhou Air Force Base, they were very clear about the situation in the base. From the initial construction to the completion, and then to the final personnel arrangement, they are all handling one by one, and all the materials are in and out of their minds, how can they not know that the plane has been put into storage.
In the face of the questions of the two, of course Li Keji would not tell them that he had teleported the plane to the hangar not long ago, and his "teleportation over time and space" ability was only known to the chairman and a few other people, so he just smiled and said: "The plane is unusual after all, so the transportation work was not handed over to the logistics department, but was personally escorted by an overseas organization." It was all put into storage last night. ”
Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun knew Li Keji's identity, so naturally they would not believe any overseas organizations, the reason why Li Keji said this now was to deal with other people nearby, since it was the overseas organization that had already sent the plane, it must be Li Keji who used his mysterious power to send the plane to the hangar from the future.
Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun remained silent about this mysterious power of Li Keji, like most comrades who knew Li Keji's true identity, and as early as the enlarged meeting of Wuqi Town, the Party Central Committee repeatedly stressed that it could not be investigated. Even the most daring person is unlikely to be angry at this time.
After listening to Li Keji's words, although the two were curious about how Li Keji sent the plane over, compared to the excitement of touching the plane in person, this curiosity quickly disappeared.
In order to see the expected plane as soon as possible. The two of them did not wait for the Soviet Russian flight instructor to change their clothes, and pulled Li Keji to the hangar.
After coming to Hangar No. 1, the two directly snatched the key from the hangar administrator's hand and opened Hangar No. 1 in person. When the sun shines into Hangar One. A majestic monoplane appeared in front of them, and everyone was amazed, they had never seen such a beautiful monoplane.
Look at the monoplane in front of you. Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun quickly recognized that this was the Chujiao 6 they had seen in the textbook, and that it was a tandem two-seat propeller trainer that would serve in China's Air Force and local aviation schools for a long time in the future.
Although this is only a primary training plane, the two of them are already so happy that they ordered someone to tow them out directly with a trailer.
When the No. 1 Library's Chujiao 6 was dragged to the flight runway, the flight instructors who went down to change their clothes had been brought to the side of the flight runway, and when they saw the radiant Chujiao 6, they were all shocked and couldn't keep their mouths shut, they had never seen such a beautiful aircraft.
The flight instructors really did not expect that when the Soviet Union and Russia were still using biplanes such as the I-15, the Datong Party had already begun to use monoplanes. Although they have not yet touched the monoplane in front of them, and they don't understand what is good about this monoplane, they can already see from the first 6 streamlined model that the monoplane is much more powerful than the biplane.
Purely in terms of size, biplanes are much more bloated than monoplanes, and monoplanes can be said to be the boss of aircraft that require flexibility.
Seeing the shocked appearance of the flight instructors, Li Keji couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he quickly put away the smugness in his heart, called everyone to the vicinity of the plane, and began to explain to them the specific performance and related precautions of the Chujiao 6.
Hearing Li Keji's explanation, the flight instructors were even more shocked, the new aircraft in front of them turned out to be only a training aircraft for training, not for combat, so what is the performance of the Datong Party's fighter plane.
Li Keji didn't care how shocked the flight instructors were, he soon entered the working state, and after introducing the specific performance of the Chujiao 6, he began to explain the tips and precautions for piloting the Chujiao 6, and after the explanation, he asked the flight instructors to send someone to follow him for a test flight.
Although the flight instructors learned a lot of Chinese by surprise, they are now limited to simple oral communication, and once they encounter complex problems, they can no longer understand them, but fortunately, Li Keji still uses Russian when explaining professional knowledge to them.
Although Chujiao 6 is a new type of aircraft, as an old pilot in the Soviet Russian Red Army, the flight instructors present still probably all understood, and by the end of Li Keji's explanation, Wei Chen, who had the best piloting skills (no longer used the original Soviet name after the name change, was actually the author's laziness, did not want to check so much information, and did not want to worry about taking a Soviet Russian name) followed Li Keji to sit on the Chujiao 6, and the others quickly stepped aside.
After changing into flight equipment, Li Keji took Wei Chen to sit on the Chujiao 6, with Li Keji as the coach and Wei Chen as the student.
For the establishment of the Air Force, Li Keji did not finish learning helicopter piloting at the beginning, but later took the time to learn to fly propeller planes, and naturally succeeded in achieving the achievement of piloting proficiency at the cost of falling countless planes.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to learn the driving of jets together, but there were too few qualified airports, he didn't have that much time, and more importantly, he didn't need jets yet, so he dispelled this idea.
After the pre-takeoff inspection, Li Keji quickly started the engine, took Wei Chen to taxi on the runway for 280 meters, and then gently jumped into the sky, and after a while, he climbed into the clouds and disappeared in front of everyone.
After the flight stabilized in the air, Li Keji quickly handed over the initiative to Wei Chen, who was in the student's seat, and asked him to try to control the flight.
At first, the plane was still a little shaky, but Wei Chen was an experienced pilot, and he quickly mastered the trick to get the plane back to stability.
Seeing that Wei Chen's adaptability was so fast, Li Keji simply let him go and let him practice flying, only mentioning one or two points at critical times, until the fuel tank was about to run out, and then let Wei Chen land the plane.
After the plane landed, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun, as well as other flight instructors and base personnel, all gathered around, first happily celebrating the success of the first flight, and then a bunch of flight instructors surrounded Wei Chen and asked about the feeling of taking off the monoplane.
Facing the expected peers, Wei Chen's face was full of triumph, and he deliberately hung everyone's taste before he began to talk about his first flight experience, and when he said the highlights, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, which made all his peers envious, and they all wanted to sit on the junior 6 to give it a try, but these could not help them, and they had to listen to the arrangement of the chief.
When Wei Chen was bragging to his peers, Li Keji didn't stop for a moment, first asked the ground crew to tow the tanker truck to refuel, and then asked another group of ground crew to follow him to learn basic aircraft maintenance, and after a thorough inspection, he picked out a second person from the flight instructor to follow him for a test flight.
After several rounds in a row, although Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun didn't like that it was not their first test flight, they were more worried about whether Li Keji's body would be so tired, flying in the sky is a high-intensity work, and ordinary people can't last much time, especially a high-intensity continuous flight like Li Keji, no matter how good the physical adaptability of the pilot, he can't stand it.
In the face of the concern of the two air force bosses, Li Keji was very grateful, but he could not stop for a moment, and he was always not at ease if he did not personally take these flight instructors to the sky to experience the experience, and it would be a great loss for the Datong Party to hang up any of them at that time.
Li Keji insisted on training, but the two bigwigs were not allowed, so they had no choice but to fight the lawsuit to the chairman, and under the persuasion of the chairman, the two knew that Li Keji was an "iron man".
Despite this, the two bigwigs still sent people to keep an eye on the airport runway, and once Li Keji showed any signs of fatigue, the training work would be stopped immediately, so that Li Keji was reluctantly let go to continue training.
There has never been an "iron man" in the world who will not be tired, and Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun will be so nervous about Li Keji's body, but in the face of the majestic facts, all the personnel of Lanzhou Air Base have to admit that there really is an "iron man" in the world who will not be tired.
Except for meal time, Li Keji even took all the flight instructors into the sky for a moment, and if he didn't see it with his own eyes, anyone would say that it was nonsense. (To be continued......)
