Chapter 198: The First Plane

The commander of the North China Front Army, Okamura Ningji, the little devil, has also been extremely irritable and anxious these days, and the pressure in his heart is very great, in Beiping, which is heavily guarded, a lieutenant general and three major generals are killed, and Okamura Ningji must give an explanation to the base camp.

But the little devil's troops have been searching for a few days, and they have no clue, which causes Okamura Ningji to delay giving an explanation to the base camp, and in the past few days, Okamura Ningji's hair has turned a lot grayer.

Today, Okamura Ninji is also walking around the headquarters like a few days ago, and the chief of staff next to him is also standing aside with his head down, and the chief of staff of the little devil has endured Okamura Ninji's monstrous anger for several days in the past few days.

After walking a few laps, Okamura couldn't help but ask again, "Nishitake-kun, are there any clues?" ”

The new chief of staff of the little devil, Xizhuyi, said respectfully: "Your Excellency, commander, there is no clue about this [***] team at present, but our preliminary guess is that Zhang Yunfei's troops did it." After speaking, Nishitakeichi also took out a few bullet casings that he carried with him, handed them to Okamura Ningji, and then continued: "These cartridge casings were found at the scene, these cartridge casings are 7.62 mm × 39 mm bullet casings, such bullets are only used by Zhang Yunfei's troops. ”

"Baga, Zhang Yunfei is dead and dead", Okamura Ningji heard that Zhang Yunfei's troops did it again, shouted angrily, and pulled out his command knife, slammed it on the table next to him, and cut the table out a deep knife mark.

The little devil chief of staff next to him, seeing that his commander was angry again, shrank his neck in fright, lowered his head deeply, and looked at the floor with his eyes, afraid that if he was not careful, he would attract the anger of Okamura Ningji.

Just when Okamura Ninji was furious, a little devil communication soldier walked in quickly, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at his expression, he looked extremely excited, and reported as soon as he entered the door: "Your Excellency Commander, there is a clue about the murder of General Tu Feiyuan, this is China's "Datong Yuebao", which published the news of General Tu Fei Yuan's murder in detail. ”

After speaking, the little devil messenger stood upright, bent down to salute, and respectfully presented the newspaper with both hands.

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji's face softened slightly, and snatched the newspaper from the little devil's hand, although Okamura Ningji only had a rough understanding of Chinese characters, but he couldn't wait to look at it, and after a long time, he put down the newspaper in his hand and sat down weakly, it was really Zhang Yunfei who sent troops to do it.

It seems that it is necessary to report to the base camp on the situation of Zhang Yunfei and the 36th Group Army, and at present Zhang Yunfei is almost able to compete with the entire North China Front Army, and it is necessary to ask the base camp to continue to increase troops in North China and strengthen the containment of Zhang Yunfei's troops. Okamura thought to himself.

In fact, not only Gangcun Ningci had the idea to ask the base camp to increase troops in North China, but the little devil's Mengsui Legion also asked the base camp to increase its troops.

However, the base camp of the little devils was slow to respond to the request for additional troops from the North China Front and the Mengsui Army, and only two or three months later did it send two temporarily formed C-class divisions to reinforce the North China Front and the Mengsui Army. With a series of victories in Southeast Asia, the Little Devil Base Camp is currently fanatical, and most people's eyes are all on Southeast Asia......

At the end of July, the weather in Datong was also relatively hot, and the temperature at noon was often as high as 35 degrees, but this morning, at the Datong Aircraft Factory, on the wide apron, there were many high-spirited people, and everyone parked two planes around the tarmac.

These two planes are the two planes just manufactured by the Datong Aircraft Factory, one is a fighter plane, and the appearance is very similar to the P-51 Mustang fighter of the United States in later generations.

There is nothing special about the P-51 fighter layout, but it perfectly combines the new technologies of aviation with an advanced laminar airfoil, a highly concise fuselage design, a reasonable layout of equipment in the aircraft, which makes it significantly reduce aerodynamic drag, and in the case of comparable aircraft in size and weight, the fuel load has increased by 3 times. This gave it a range of more than three thousand kilometers, which was enough to cover long-range bombers for the longest attacks.

The large number of Jewish engineers involved in the research, design and manufacture of this fighter aircraft was indispensable, and nearly half of the Jews in this design and manufacturing team, many of whom had worked in the German company Messerschmidt, had rich experience.

Moreover, the hand-drawn paper provided by Zhang Yunfei is very clear, and many details have been specially marked and explained, which is mainly due to the fact that Zhang Yunfei was in the university in his previous life, and his undergraduate major was mechanical design and manufacturing, and after joining the army, he has a deep understanding of some classic weapons and equipment, such as the previous AK-47 rifle.

Although Zhang Yunfei could not know the P-51 fighter very clearly, it was impossible to draw a diagram of its parts, but the general aerodynamic layout and basic structure could still be drawn, so we relied on the drawings provided by Zhang Yunfei to refine and study, and now there is the first fighter.

And everyone has made improvements to this aircraft on the drawings provided by Zhang Yunfei, including the use of a light-weight body, a new type of propeller, a full-vision plastic cockpit canopy, a new airfoil, etc., so that its surname and maneuverability can be further improved, and the maximum speed is 788 kilometers per hour.

The transport plane, which was parked side by side with the fighter, was completely designed and manufactured by the experts and engineers and technicians of the Datong Aircraft Factory.

Just as everyone was happily watching their own masterpieces, someone suddenly shouted: "The commander-in-chief is here, the commander-in-chief is here, everyone hurry up and line up." ”

Everyone immediately lined up in two neat rows, and watched Zhang Yunfei coming from a distance with happy faces. This time, not only Zhang Yunfei came, but also Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, Comrade Fang Zheng, deputy director of the Political Department, and even Gao Zhihang of the flying brigade.

Everyone hugged Zhang Yunfei, director Liu of the aircraft factory, full of joy and pride, and excitedly accompanied Zhang Yunfei next to him, and everyone walked to the plane.

Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, and Fang Zheng, deputy director of the Political Department, were already overwhelmed with joy, and Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, and Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, were very happy in their hearts, but their faces were not so obvious, but they also had a faint smile.

Zhang Yunfei and the others first slowly looked around the two planes twice, and when everyone walked in front of the fighter, Director Liu next to him lost no time in introducing Zhang Yunfei: "Chief, our aircraft fully meets the design requirements you put forward at the beginning.

The length of the aircraft is 10.2 meters, the wingspan is 11.3 meters, the wing area is 21.7 square meters, the empty weight is 2.99 tons, the take-off weight is 5.02 tons, the power of a single engine is 1029 kilowatts, the ceiling is 12700 meters, and the range is 3860 kilometers. The armament consisted of 6 machine guns and could be used to carry 900 kg of bombs. ”

Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, and Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, who were still calm, immediately became excited when they heard Director Liu's introduction, these data are too good, such a long range means that the combat radius can reach 1,000 kilometers, most of China's territory is within its range, the south can reach the south of the Yangtze River, the east can reach the coast of the East China Sea, the west can reach Xinjiang Province, and the north can almost reach the border of Soviet Russia.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, knew the significance of this plane very well, and could not suppress the joy in his heart, and said with emotion: "What a miracle, this is a miracle of China's industry, and we are so proud that such a good aircraft has been manufactured by us." ”

Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department next to him, also sighed happily: "Now, the little devil's air force can no longer run rampant and domineering in our airspace, and the good words of the little devil's air force are gone forever." ”

Director Liu next to him, as well as the experts and engineers and technicians of all the aircraft factories next to him, heard the two chiefs say this, and the happy mood and proud look on their faces became even stronger, for the design and manufacture of this aircraft, hundreds of days and nights of hardship were completely worth it.

Zhang Yunfei's mood at the moment is also very happy and excited, but his face is not so obvious, Zhang Yunfei at this time, also held Director Liu's hand and said: "Director Liu, you have made great contributions, I want to give you credit, all meritorious personnel, we have to reward heavily." ”

Director Liu was also very proud and excited to receive such a big affirmation from Zhang Yunfei, but he still said modestly: "Thank you, chief, we can achieve such great results, it is completely due to the correct guidance of the chiefs, and the hard work of a large number of engineers and technicians night and night, so that we have these two aircraft today." ”

After Director Liu finished speaking, he immediately thought that the plane had not yet been named, so he said to Zhang Yunfei: "Chief, this plane has not been named yet, why don't you ask the chief to name him." ”

"Okay, I want to take a name," Zhang Yunfei immediately agreed, "This aircraft will be called the Mustang fighter, and all the fighters of this model produced in the future will be called Mustang fighters." ”

"Good name, too vivid." Many people next to him chimed in.
