The idea was good, but I didn't expect Long Chengyuan to appreciate it, and when he came to the hangar, he saw a brand-new "kangaroo" that had been dismantled, and he was even more heartbroken. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What a bunch of losers, do you know how much such a plane is worth? It's 750,000, and you just demolished it? Who can afford to pay? Long Chengyuan looked angry, but it seemed to be a bit of a show-off.

Qin Zhiyuan knew that the Lanfang Military Department was now selling the "Eagle Eagle" at a price of 1 million pounds, and the more advanced "Kangaroo" would not be sold at all, and if it was to be sold in a few years, it would cost at least 1.5 million pounds, or pounds.

The arms trade is truly lucrative!

Three days later, the modification was successfully completed, and the armor in the belly position was increased on the original basis, and the fuselage structure was strengthened at the same time, and the final result was that the empty weight reached ten tons, and the flight speed was slower.

Just when Long Chengyuan was modifying the "kangaroo", Dou Yongyi was also organizing the air force to formulate a combat plan.

This is relatively simple, the "Hurricane" does not have the upper hand in the face of the "Eagle Falcon", the "Eagle Falcon" only needs to control the "Hurricane" in an area, and then the "Kangaroo" will definitely be able to complete the task when it comes to Mount Tai.

After knowing Dou Yongyi's plan, Long Chengyuan postponed the action for two days, and in these two days, Long Chengyuan continued to modify the kangaroo, adding a ramming angle to the belly of the aircraft, which was retracted in the belly when it was on the ground, and when the landing gear flew into the sky and retracted the belly, the ramming angle would automatically come out, and in the past two days, Long Chengyuan had a new idea, this enhanced version of the "kangaroo" does not need to be changed back in the future, and after the mission, it is equipped with a few more machine guns and cannons, and it is simply used as an air fortress.

Qin Zhiyuan also strongly supported Long Chengyuan's idea after knowing it, so two more "kangaroos" were converted into air fortresses, and they would begin to be verified after the mission.

In fact, the concept of this so-called "air fortress" is similar to that of the future attack aircraft, that is, the so-called "close-range air support aircraft" of Western countries, and the attack aircraft, also called attack aircraft, are mainly used to attack enemy tactics from low and ultra-low altitudes or targets in the depth of shallow and close campaigns, and directly support ground forces in operations. The attack aircraft has good low-altitude maneuverability, stability, and good ability to search for small ground targets, and can be equipped with a wide variety of ground attack weapons.

Attack aircraft are the most vulnerable to the enemy's attack and loss on the battlefield, and in order to improve survivability, they are generally protected by armor in their vital parts.

At present, the use of aircraft by various countries is not perfect enough, and there are not many types of aircraft; except for fighters and bombers, which are reconnaissance planes, bombers are also high-altitude fighter-bombers, and there is no concept of "close air support."

In Qin Zhiyuan's vision, the future Lanfang army will fight, and the task of close air support will be undertaken by helicopters, so Qin Zhiyuan did not put forward the concept of a strong attack aircraft.

Qin Zhiyuan has been playing a guiding role in the development of Lanfang's air force equipment, or Lanfang's scientific and technological development, but Qin Zhiyuan will definitely let go one day, and everything will depend on these Lanfang's technicians, so it is very important to cultivate the subjective initiative of technicians.

For example, the concept of "flying fortress" proposed by Long Chengyuan, even if it is unsuccessful, it is nothing, at least it is a successful attempt, which is enough.

July 7, 1924, was destined to go down in history.

On this morning, two Italian Air Force Hurricane fighters went to harass the skies near Sardinia Province, the western province of Lanfang, as usual.

In fact, such behavior is normal after Sardinia announced that it will join Lanfang, although Lanfang announced that Sardinia is now part of Lanfang, but the Italians do not recognize this statement, the Italians insist that Sardinia is an inseparable part of Italy, and the airspace of Sardinia is the airspace of the Italian Air Force, and the Italian Air Force has the right to fly freely in the Italian sky.

Although Lanfang and Italy do not deal with each other, after all, it is not yet to the point of starting a war, so the harassment of the Lanfang Air Force against the Italian Air Force is to expel and drive the plane out of the sky over Sardinia and forget it.

During this time, Qin Zhiyuan had to calculate the Italians, so the Lanfang Air Force had reduced its reaction speed and reaction intensity, and as a result, the Italians were very arrogant, thinking that this was the result of the improvement of the quality of the Italian Air Force pilots, so they came to Sardinia a bit often.

Improving the quality of pilots is actually very simple, just like training army soldiers in marksmanship, and if you are willing to spend money, it is just one word -- fly.

If you go to the sky more times and fly for more than enough hours, your experience will slowly accumulate and the quality of your pilots will gradually improve.

In the era of biplanes and triplanes, the Italians could not fight against the Lanfang fighters at all, and at that time, even the airspace of the Italian mainland was similar to the Lanfang airspace, and the Lanfang Air Force could not defend at all.

After buying the "Hurricane" from the British, the Italians finally had the capital to fight against Lan Fang, although the chance of winning was still not big, but they finally had the strength to fight back, so in the past six months, the quality of the Italian Air Force pilots has improved rapidly.

After discovering that the Italians' "Hurricane" had taken off, the Lanfang Air Force immediately took off four "Falcons" and began to implement the "Falcon Project."

That's right, Qin Zhiyuan called the plan formulated by the Air Force the "Falcon Project", not to mention, quite appropriate.

Immediately after the four "Falcons" took off, they fought in groups of two to deal with one "Hurricane" respectively.

The performance of the "Hurricane" is not as good as that of the "Eagle Falcon", and it is even more difficult to fight with one enemy and two enemies, not to mention that this time Dou Yongyi arranged the pilots to ensure the successful implementation of the "Falcon Plan", and the pilots arranged by Dou Yongyi are all ace pilots of the Lanfang Air Force.

Dou Yongyi's plan was very simple: two "Eagle Falcons", one chasing the tail of the "Hurricane" and the other on the flank of the "Hurricane", forcing the "Hurricane" to fly to the area where the "Kangaroo" had been ambushed.

The scheduled ambush site is in the sea area 15 kilometers east of Sardinia, where the average sea depth is about 50 meters, once the "hurricane" crashes into the sea, the destroyers cruising in the nearby waters will rush to the scene as fast as possible to blockade it, and then the salvage ship will salvage the "hurricane", and then transport it back to Sardinia and hand it over to Long Chengyuan for dismantling.

The plan sounds simple, but it is still a bit difficult to implement, especially the requirements for the "Eagle Falcon" pilots, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the thinking pilots are all selected elites, led by Dou Yongyi himself.

Dou Yongyi is the one who shot down the "Red Baron", although his status in the Lanfang Air Force is not as good as Zhou Hongguang and Bao Deshui, but in the world, Dou Yongyi's fame is much greater than those two, and he is the idol in the minds of many pilots.

The two "Hurricane" pilots, who had been heavily calculated, did not know it, and while trying their best to maneuver with the four "Eagle Falcons," they unconsciously flew to the area where the "Kangaroo" had been ambushed.

At half past nine, six planes flew to the predetermined area, when the "kangaroo" lying in ambush on the clouds pressed down the nose of the plane and began to dive towards a "hurricane".

The two Italian "Hurricane" pilots did not know that doom was about to come at this time, they were all rookies half a year ago, and they have been repeatedly abused by Lanfang pilots in recent months, and their flying skills have been greatly improved, especially one of the pilots named Silvinho, who is now the captain of the "Hurricane" brigade of the Italian Air Force, the best among the Italian pilots.

The establishment of the Italian Air Force is not large, although the "Hurricane" brigade has the name of a brigade, in fact, there are not many aircraft, a total of 32 aircraft, of which only half are "Hurricane", and the rest are still old-fashioned biplanes.

Although the British supported the Italians against the Lanfangs, they did not trust the Italians, so their support was limited.

The British could not have given enough trust to the Italians, and looking at how the Italians performed in the world war, it was hard for the British to believe that the Italians would be their good teammates.

Pig teammates are pretty much the same.

Silvinho is a little frustrated now, just before he got on the plane, he was full of confidence, but now all that confidence has gone to naught.

In the past few days, Silvinho feels more and more relaxed in the face of Lan Fang's "Eagle Falcon", and Silvinho does not think that this is the Lan Fang Air Force's deliberate release of water, but attributes this to his own technological progress.

Today's situation is different, when facing the "Falcon", Silvinho feels very difficult, especially the "Falcon" numbered "214", Silvinho has felt that he has gotten rid of "214" several times, but at most, "214" will reoccupy the favorable terrain and stare at the butt of Silvinho's fighter.

If this is in actual combat, "214" only needs one point shot to knock down the "hurricane" of Silvinho's posture.

The reality made Silvinho extremely frustrated, of course Silvinho didn't know that the pilot on the "214" was Dou Yongyi, as for why Dou Yongyi's fighter used the number "214", if Silvinho knew the Chinese homonym of these numbers, it is estimated that Silvinho did not have the courage to deal with "214" at all.

214, you are going to die!

Silvinho, who had been pestered by "214", did not feel a little relaxed until he was far away from Sardinia, but the danger was not lifted, and the "214" did not return, but flew with him a kilometer behind Silvinho's plane, which made Silvinho feel insulted, so Silvinho turned around and gestured to "214" and gestured with a middle finger, regardless of whether the pilot on "214" could see it or not.

In a trance, Silvinho seemed to see the mocking gaze of the "214" pilot.

How could it be - Silvinho comforted himself like this, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that a big guy was flying over his plane.

Compared to the "Hurricane", the enhanced version of the "Kangaroo" is indeed a bit bigger.
