Chapter 199: Fly to the South Sky

I haven't shouted for a long time, and I'm shouting twice today. Ask for subscriptions, ask for recommendations.

At the same time, thank you for the four great rewards of "quack doctors go to the world", "even yes", "enchanting queen", and "nkj8084", and thank you for the shell.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the side of the transport plane, and the people next to them became excited again, this plane is too big, too beautiful, the structure of the all-metal structure, the silver-white skin has not yet come to spray, it may have just been produced.

The wings on both sides are long and wide, four large piston engines, wide propellers, the fuselage is shorter and thicker and streamlined, the cockpit on the upper part of the nose appears very wide, it can seat at least 3~4 people, there is a hatch on the left side of the fuselage, and on the rear side of the fuselage, that is, behind the ass of the entire aircraft, there is a huge hatch, and now the hatch is open, and you can see the spacious belly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at this transport plane eagerly, Director Liu began to introduce excitedly: "This aircraft, with a fuselage length of 28 meters, a height of 9.8 meters, a wingspan of 21.6 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 36 tons, four piston engines, a single power of 1750 kilowatts, a maximum range of 4180 kilometers, can transport 50 fully armed fighters at a time."

If it is to transport supplies, it can transport 20 tons of materials at a time, and the tracked infantry fighting vehicles produced in our base can also transport one at a time, and you can see that there is no huge hatch behind the aircraft, which is specially designed to transport our infantry fighting vehicles, and if you transport the off-road vehicles we produce, you can transport two at a time. ”

After listening to Director Liu's introduction, everyone's hearts were full of hope, and the chief of staff next to him said: "Director Liu, how is the output of our airport?" How many planes can be produced each month? ”

After listening to the words of Chief of Staff Zuo, Factory Director Liu looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Our Mustang fighters are about ten per month, and the monthly output of this kind of large-scale transportation is only about three or five, and the output is not high. ”

The people next to him, after listening to Director Liu's words, did not feel disappointed, the output of the two types of aircraft, which adds up to more than a dozen per month, is not bad, after all, the total number of aircraft in the base area is only about 20, and it is still the aircraft that can lag behind the surname of the captured imp before.

Zhang Yunfei is also very satisfied with this output, the output of more than a dozen planes per month is indeed good, according to the local situation, can not be compared with the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries, in Zhang Yunfei's memory, the old United States produced the Mustang fighter, in a few years the total output can reach tens of thousands, and from the beginning of the design to the manufacture of the first aircraft, it only took a few dozen days.

Lao Mei has such an output, and now he still can't catch up, and at present, there is such an output every month, which adds up to a lot, and the number of aircraft manufactured in a year is not too small.

Gao Zhihang, the captain of the flight group who came with Zhang Yunfei, looked at the two planes carefully, his face was full of excitement, even a little trembling, his face was also a little red, and stretched out his hands, gently touched the fuselage, and then, he also held Director Liu, and said thank you a few times.

Then he turned around, excited, and said to Zhang Yunfei with a trembling voice: "Thank you, chief, for providing us with such an excellent plane, on behalf of all the personnel of the flight team, I guarantee here that we will train hard and kill devils well, please rest assured." ”

After speaking, Gao Zhihang saluted Zhang Yunfei with a solemn military salute, and his eyes were a little moist with excitement, and Zhang Yunfei patted Gao Zhihang's shoulder, encouraging and comforting him a little.

After watching the aircraft, Director Liu led everyone to visit the various workshops of the aircraft factory, covering a huge area of the aircraft factory, although each plant is not high, but the area is not small, we first visited the aircraft assembly workshop, in the assembly workshop huge plant, parked a few aircraft that are being assembled.

The workers are assembling in an orderly manner, and many engineers and technicians are also busy, including many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, and we are very happy to see such a huge assembly plant and a busy scene.

Originally, everyone thought that it was necessary to carry out continuous test flights of the first production aircraft, and only carry out large-scale production when the technology was very perfect, but now it seems that it is ready to improve while producing, and then slowly improve and perfect it in actual combat and production.

After visiting the assembly plant, Director Liu led everyone to visit several processing plants, only to see that in the processing plant, the machine roared, the arc splashed, and the parts were processed by everyone, and the faces of each worker were filled with joy and pride, and the spirit was very good.

After visiting the factory, everyone waited to watch the aircraft test flight performance, and on the huge tarmac, the towing truck was already in place, towing the Mustang fighter and heading to the runway.

Datong Aircraft Factory not only has its own apron, but also its own test runway, from which the aircraft can take off directly, and there is no need to transport the aircraft to Datong Airport.

Seeing that the beautiful Mustang fighter was already in place, Gao Zhihang, who couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, asked with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, let me test fly myself!" ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded lightly.

"Thank you, Chief." Gao Zhihang first saluted Zhang Yunfei, and then in everyone's eyes, happily ran to the Mustang fighter on the runway, Gao Zhihang took the equipment of the test pilot next to him and dressed neatly, and immediately climbed onto the cabin, slowly closed the transparent hatch, and several ground staff next to him immediately withdrew the gangway.

In everyone's eager eyes, Gao Zhihang started the plane, the propeller of the plane turned faster and faster, the plane slowly taxied on the runway, about a few hundred meters on the runway, the plane left the runway, and flew towards the blue sky.

"Fly, fly." Many people next to him began to shout excitedly.

The plane flew higher and higher, and after a while it flew to an altitude of several thousand meters, and many people held their own binoculars and watched them carefully, while those who did not have a telescope watched carefully with their naked eyes.

Gao Zhihang, who was piloting the plane, seemed extremely happy, and began to play stunts in the air while piloting the plane, a dive, then a vertical climb, a tumble, and an inverted flight......

The people watching on the ground were dazzled, enthusiastic, and applauded, and some even shouted hard, and Zhang Yunfei and other high-level leaders of the 36 Group also applauded again and again, full of praise.

After flying for about half an hour, Gao Zhihang drove the plane back with unfinished intentions, when the plane stopped on the runway, Gao Zhihang got off the plane with an excited face, trotted all the way, ran to Zhang Yunfei's face, and saluted happily: "Chief, this plane is so good, I am personally very satisfied with him." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, held Gao Zhihang's hand and said: "Okay, then I look forward to you driving the war eagle, soaring in the blue sky of the motherland, defending the country and driving away the invaders." ”

"Yes!" Gao Zhihang immediately snapped again, and replied loudly.

This time, Gao Zhihang did not participate in the flight, but several test pilots from the Datong Aircraft Factory piloted the transport plane and conducted a test flight performance.

Several test pilots entered the cockpit, started the plane, the four engines drove the propellers, making a deafening sound, the plane slowly drove to the runway, after entering the runway, taxied for thousands of meters before leaving the runway and flying into the blue sky. The plane circled in the sky a few times, flew for about twenty minutes, slowly lowered its altitude, and landed on the runway.

Zhang Yunfei, who watched the test flight performance, was in a good mood, although now there are only fighters and transport planes, and there are no bombers for the time being, but the Mustang fighter can hang 900 kg of bombs, and for the time being, he can make a cameo appearance as a bomber, and then slowly produce large bombers.

However, there is one type of aircraft, which can be modified at present, and can be modified on the basis of transport aircraft, that is, the early warning aircraft that Zhang Yunfei is looking forward to; although several ground early warning radar stations have been established in the base area, these radar stations can only be passively defended, and if you want to run long distances to attack the base or military camp of the little devils, you still need to be accompanied by an early warning aircraft equipped with radar.

So Zhang Yunfei said to Director Liu next to him: "Director Liu, I told you two months ago, how is the project of this early warning aircraft going?" ”

Seeing Zhang Yunfei ask, Director Liu next to him immediately restrained the smile on his face, and said in a loud voice, "Report to the chief, the design plan of the early warning aircraft project has come out, and we will use the new transport aircraft we produce as the matrix, and the first early warning aircraft will be produced in about two months." ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for good news from you." Zhang Yunfei said with anticipation.

After returning from the Datong Aircraft Factory, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of the General Staff, Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Comrade Fang Zheng, Deputy Director of the Political Department, were still immersed in joy, and everyone still had a faint smile on their faces.

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, also said to Zhang Yunfei happily: "Commander-in-chief, with such advanced aircraft, we can form a powerful air force, and when a war starts in the future, we will have air support." ”

"Well, we want to continue to build our flight group, and at present we have three or four hundred pilots in our flight group, plus ground crew, ground command and communications personnel, etc., there are already nearly two thousand people, but these are far from enough, and I plan to double the size of the flight group in one year."

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's long-term plan, everyone also appeared full of confidence, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, said with emotion: "If this is really the case, our air force will be enough to defend our airspace, and all the planes of the North China Front Army will be less than 200 in total, and they will be inferior to our newly produced planes in terms of surname." ”
