"Boom" An aerial bomb that fell from a high altitude fell on the British fortifications on the west bank of the Tibetan River, where a large number of Indian natives were requisitioned to repair fortifications, and the explosion made the aborigines who built the fortifications and some of the soldiers guarding them flesh and blood.

"It's so rampant!" Dannatt and Olivee watched through gritted teeth.

China mobilized two million troops to the north, during which time it did not launch an offensive on the defense line of the Zangnan-Tista River for half a month, did not fire a single shot, did not fire a single shell, did not drop a single bomb. However, half a month later, after the Chinese side basically cleaned up the battlefield, the air force began to break through the airspace from time to time.

Dannatt had nothing to do with the Chinese Air Force, their Air Force was almost completely lost, and the entire sky was ruled by the Chinese Air Force, and the Chinese Air Force was at most a squad at a time, that is, six J-2 fighters, sometimes only two, and it was impossible for him to have a large number of anti-aircraft fires to deal with two aircraft. You must know that it is a front-line position, China has captured a large number of artillery pieces of the coalition army, including hundreds or thousands of long-range cannon heavy guns, once the front-line anti-aircraft fire is exposed, it may be destroyed by the Chinese long-range artillery group. For this, they can only endure.

A French Air Force officer with the rank of major, led by a staff officer, came over and saluted Dannat.

The staff officer said: "Your Excellency, this is Major Vic, the hero of the French Air Force. ”

"Air Force Major Vic salutes the commander. ”

Dannatt returned the salute and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Major Vic. I heard that you shot down a Chinese warplane. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, the pilot of the Chinese fighter plane I shot down should have been a pilot with insufficient training. ”

Dannatt said: "You have also seen that the Chinese air force is very rampant, and I would like to hear your opinion on the Chinese air force." ”

Bick thought for a while and said: "As far as the Chinese Air Force as a whole is concerned, this is an air force that is still growing, as long as they are given time, they will become even more terrifying." Their planes are very advanced, and our planes, whether they are the British Avengers. Napoleon of France. Neither the American P-24 nor the American P-24 is far from being able to compete with them. ”

Dannatt frowned and said, "Is the gap really so big? ”

Vic nodded, "Yes." I fought a Chinese fighter plane in the Battle of East Bengal, and the other party was not even a first-class pilot, but the other side still relied on the excellent performance of the plane to chase me almost cornered, and if there was the same fighter. I'm completely sure that I'll be able to take on more than three of these opponents in the air at the same time. That's the gap. ”

Dannatt's brow furrowed. After a long time, he said: "Is there any way we can compete with each other?" ”

Vic thought for a long time before he said, "Speed, as long as the speed of our plane can keep up." It should be possible to fight each other, of course, this refers to first-class pilots against their ordinary pilots. ”

Admiral Dannatt was speechless for a moment.

"What I want to say is that the other side's plane is simply a perfect work of art, and at the same time a war machine. Their fighters are sturdy, agile, and far from being able to match our aircraft, and even have a powerful load capacity, which can dive and bomb almost vertically, and is simply omnipotent. I don't think even if we try hard for another 10 years, we won't be able to develop an aircraft that surpasses it. However, I think we can improve the speed, as long as the engine is strong enough, it can provide more speed for the aircraft. As long as the speed can come up, as long as our pilots are good enough, they can get rid of the pursuit of the other side and have a chance to win. ”

Danner nodded, "Thank you, Major, for your advice. ”

On the third day alone, Bique was transferred home by the French Air Force. After returning home, he was given a five-day vacation, spent time with his family, reported to the Air Force Command five days later, and was soon sent to a secret airfield.

Vick frowned, three fighter planes stopped at the airport, the appearance was already seven or eight points similar to the Chinese J-2, and a group of technicians were constantly overhauling the aircraft. Soon a colonel came over and said, "Major Vic." I'm the head of the base, you can call me Moriton. ”

Vic saluted, "Hello Colonel, Vic reports to you. ”

Moriton nodded, "Very good." Major, I've heard that you shot down a Chinese J-2 fighter, it's amazing. See those three planes? This is the latest fighter we have developed jointly with the British, and we call him the Angel. ”

Vic nodded, "It's a lot like J-2."

Moriton said: "Yes, it turns out that our aircraft design is much worse than the Chinese, and if we want to shorten the gap the fastest, it is to imitate." ”

Vic smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to our angels. It's just that I still have doubts, the shape can be imitated, but what about the heart? ”

Moriton laughed, "The heart is definitely the best. The Chinese engine is 450 horses, but we have 480 horses. Of course, the performance of the aircraft in all aspects still needs to be tested, so it is necessary for a good pilot like you to test fly. ”

When Vic came here and saw the new fighter, he already knew that he might be transferred as a test pilot. But when the news was confirmed, I was still very nervous, and my face became ugly. In this era, the Air Force is an extremely dangerous branch of the army, and it is unknown whether it can fly back in the sky, because there are too many aircraft failures during this period. And the test pilots in wartime, the degree of danger has increased even more, you must know that the new fighters in wartime are piled up with the lives of test pilots.

Vic also knew that since he was ordered to come here, he couldn't refuse it.

The next day, Vic received an order for a test flight.

After a large group of experts carefully inspected the plane, Vic boarded the plane, although the shape of the plane changed greatly, but when he got into the plane, he found that the plane was not much different from the Napoleonic fighter, after receiving the order, he quickly started the plane, "woo" the huge engine roar, so that he did feel the strong power of the engine.

With the conductor, he quickly flew into the blue sky. After a short adaptive flight and a few regular movements, the voice of Tower Moriton came from his ears: "Major, how do you feel?" ”

Vic replied, "All well, Colonel. ”

"Very good, let's start testing now. The first item is speed. ”

"Yes, Colonel."

"Gradually increase the throttle until you increase the throttle to the maximum and test the ultimate speed."

"Yes. Captain. Vic responded. Gradually accelerate the plane. Amid the roar of the huge aircraft engines, he kept his eyes on the speedometer, and it was not long before the pointer exceeded the speed of Napoleon's fighter plane, and gradually moved in the direction of three hundred kilometers.

"Excellent! The speed is more than three hundred kilometers per hour. 302、305、308。 Still accelerating. Vic grew excited.

Moriton's voice came excitedly: "Very good. Continue to accelerate. Speed of debriefing. ”

Vick was also very excited: "Understood! 315、318。 Great, to 320. Before he could finish speaking, a puff of smoke rose from the airport. Instantly, Jean's excitement disappeared and he cried out in horror, "Damn, the engine is on fire, I'm going to skydive." ”

"Abandon the plane now!" Moriton was anxiously ordered from the tower.

Vic received an order and immediately prepared to open the cabin, since the J-2 was a closed cabin, for which the biplanes of this period also used a closed cabin. Kebick suddenly found that he couldn't look at the cabin, and almost broke down, but fortunately, he was experienced in a hundred battles, tried to keep his composure, touched the pistol on his waist, and shot a few shots at the bubble-shaped cabin, miscellaneous glass, climbed out of the cabin, and jumped.

The plane lost control and quickly landed on the ground, but it didn't have to taxi far before it exploded in the air and turned into a huge fireball.

Vic's parachute opened, looking at this scene, his heart almost stopped, there was no doubt that it was the explosion of the fuel tank caused by the engine fire, if he had slowed down for a few seconds, he would probably have no bones left, and his mouth kept saying: "God forbid"-

In an isolated no-man's land in China's Dabie Mountains, several planes also soared into the sky at an airport.

The planes are speeding through the sky, making various tactical maneuvers.

On the airport tower, Li Bufan, Wu Di, Li Air Force and expert Li Fei were all watching this scene, and soon the plane returned to land safely, and the four of them came to a conference room.

Li Bufan said with a smile: "After changing the engine of the Dongfeng 550, the aircraft is really good, and the speed is more than 430 kilometers per hour." ”

Li Fei said: "Not only has the speed become faster, but the range of the same aircraft has also increased to 1,600 kilometers, and the performance of other aspects has been improved to a certain extent." ”

Li Bufan was surprised: "The same oil, the range has increased? ”

Li Fei said: "Yes, the engines are optimized and energy-saving, so the range is increased. ”

Li Bufan said excitedly: "Great, how many planes are there now?" ”

Li Fei smiled bitterly: "Commander-in-chief, the plane cannot be mass-produced. I made this engine with a lot of painstaking work. ”

"What?" Li Bufan's eyes widened.

Li Air Force said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, the equipment of our production line is not at all, of course, the main thing is the precision manufacturing of the engine, if you want to mass production, this part of the equipment must be upgraded." At the speed of our industrial machine tools, it will take at least two years to meet the requirements, but we asked the Soviet and Russian sides to help us order a batch of high-precision parts, and if successful, this time will be shortened to one year. ”

Li Bufan frowned and said, "Can't it be faster?" ”

Li Fei sighed: "This is already the fastest. And even if it is produced after a year, it can only be produced in small batches, and it is the limit to be able to ensure that an engine production line can produce new engines. ”

Wu Di said puzzledly: "No, right?" The production line has not changed much, only some parts need to be replaced, and a few more production lines can be transformed? ”

Li Fei shook his head and said: "Even if the equipment is transformed, it can't be built without enough high-end technicians." ”

Li Bufan's face became extremely ugly in an instant.

Wu Di's face has turned into the bottom of a black cauldron, with these cloning experts, China does not lack technology, but what it lacks is equipment and talents, and there are constant slanders in his heart: novels are all fucking lies, how did those pig's feet hellcats and wild horses be made, even helicopters and jets? To Lao Tzu, it has become indispensable for technology, equipment, and talents (to be continued......
