Chapter 126: Building an Airport

"Pave the way! Double-width that runway for me! Double the thickening! Just go! Zhao Yun pointed to a group of servants in the county government and shouted, "You all put up notices for me, go quickly!" ”

"Fix the airport?" Deputy County Magistrate Xu was dumbfounded, it wasn't long after the airport was repaired last time! Why do you have to repair it again!

"County Chief! Why is that? Are there more planes coming? "Zhao Yun now has only four planes in the eyes of the world, but Deputy County Magistrate Xu knows that there must be more than that, but because he can't get close to the plane, he can't come up with strong evidence. Finding out the number of planes was also a task assigned by Nanjing.

"You don't have to ask about this now, you'll know in a few days anyway!" Zhao Yun knew what he was thinking about when he saw that his little eyes were shining, and he would say a word first.

This kind of zibelin. Stark RIV, Zhao Yun has already positioned it as a large transport aircraft in the future. 2,000 kilograms is a 2-ton load capacity, which is enough to transport a lot of things.

In Jiangnan, Zhao Yun has collected a lot of broken copper and iron, sucked out the iron with magnets, and handed over the rest to the camp for absorption.

The scrap iron was transported to Outer Mongolia and handed over to Timur, and the Handley-Peti 0/400 transport plane transported some coal from Luliang Mountain.

Using the Mongolian blacksmiths under Timur, they melted them all and turned them into pieces.

Mongolia needs a lot of iron, and it feels like you don't need much iron to play a horse's hoove, but as soon as there are too many war horses, the supply from the outside world will be cut off, and the consumption will not be able to keep up.

More than 200,000 horses have millions of hooves, this number makes Zhao Yun's little liver plop, obedient! This cavalry is really not a money-saving thing!

Whether this horseshoe is nailed well or not, but when it comes to combat power, Zhao Yun doesn't dare to be sloppy, but the original plane with only 800 kilograms of transportation capacity can't bring much iron every time it adds salt and cloth.

Now that there is a new transport plane, Zhao Yun's first thought is that the iron can be transported over. As soon as food and iron did not need to be provided to Outer Mongolia by the camps, the number of hoards of various resources immediately began to grow slowly.

The corresponding airfield is also being built in Khan Urge, Chechnya.

Fortunately, last time, Zhao Yun had already zoned the airport within the third city wall, just west of the city. Now all the Mongols are to mount their horses and step out of the plains.

The peasants again built the stone stacks, and then the Mongols put the stone stacks down with rope slats and dragged them by horses to the already leveled land, and a small piece of flat land was formed. The progress of the project is no slower than that of the construction site by Taihu Lake.

A road to the north of Chechen Khan Urg is being built to the north of the Outer Mongolian camp in the mountains. Although it is said that the grassland is the world of horses, and you can walk everywhere, once you get heavy supplies, there is still an easy road.

A runway was also built between the camp and the Chechen Khan Urg for aircraft to take off and land for later fighters. In this way, the fighters coming out of the Outer Mongolia camp can have three airstrips to use. (There was originally an airstrip in the Outer Mongolia camp)

At the same time as stepping up the construction of Chechen Khan Urge, the Outer Mongolian camp, as the foundation in Outer Mongolia, did not fall behind, and all the defensive buildings were built again on the original basis. Some open space was also reserved for the construction of anti-aircraft artillery in the future. The whole camp is a circle larger than before. Twenty-eight Krupp cannons of 280 caliber were also installed in place, with their hideous muzzles facing in all directions, and a fortress on the steppe had been built here.

In the city of Chechen Khan Urg, the Chechen Khan drank and enjoyed all day long, ignoring Timur's actions. All the Mongol armies were under Timur's control, and the entire Chechen Khan Urg became a large construction site.

The production of the camp, the export and the self-use are not interchangeable, so Zhao Yun can only use the more than 40 Fokker E fighters originally produced as reconnaissance planes.

Then a new model was produced, which was acquired later: the Spad XII.CaI., which could fire 37-mm shells from the propeller shaft core.

Originally, Zhao Yun was going to wait for the aircraft experts from Fujian to come and build it, but since the icon of this aircraft was in the production sequence of the siege equipment manufacturing institute, Zhao Yun couldn't sleep at night, and stayed up until dawn. Or in the airport hangar outside the county to get an export machine.

Early in the morning, many of the students of the academy had already gotten up to get some breakfast or were already on the playground to start reading.

The militiaman's loud voice rang out again in the playground, "Urgently assemble!" ”

After shouting three times in a row, the students all ran to the playground, some of them were disheveled, some were holding books in their hands, and some were sleepy-eyed.

Zhao Yun now has a dark circle under his eyes, but he is still in good spirits, "Who of you has flown a plane before?" ”

Zhao Yun is really helpless, he knows how difficult it is to find a plane inside the boat, but there is no way! It's really nobody! I'm not good at machinery, it's okay to disassemble a computer, just disassemble the plane, forget it, the wolf bites the hedgehog, and I can't bite it!

The garrison of the county town asked for a long time, but there was a rhetorical question, what kind of chicken is the plane! made Zhao Yun almost vomit blood on the spot. The short man is tall, and there is not a group of highly educated students, so he came running.

The result was still the same, no one responded for half a day, so they could only lower their requirements, "The plane has been repaired!" ”

Still no one answered, but a short man made a voice in the crowd, "Sir, do you count as someone who has seen the plane repaired?" ”

"Count!" Zhao Yun lowered the requirements by one level.

This time, there were finally three people in the opposite column in Fujian.

"Three! Too little! Is there anything else? No one answered, looking at the playground full of people, Zhao Yun felt a burst of blackness in front of him, what kind of world is this! No matter what era, talent is the most expensive!

"I've repaired the ship's weapons!"

"Wow!" This time a small half of them came out.

"The ranks of those who have repaired small cannons!" This time there were more people.

Zhao Yun was a little relieved.

"People who have been repairing small cannons for more than ten years are listed." This time there were less than fifty of them.

Seeing that their approximate age was only 24 or 5, Zhao Yun was taken aback by their military age, isn't this a child soldier?

I ordered five at random, took three people who had seen the plane repaired, and drove the car to the hangar.

Before leaving, leaving three hundred oceans was considered to have invited them to breakfast.

Hurried to the hangar and saw the plane, the eight cadets were stunned.

It was not the plane that was surprised, but the livery on the body, "French plane!" One of the students swallowed vigorously and said.

"What? Seen it before? Zhao Yun looked at them in surprise.

"Report sir, I've seen it, but it's not the same as this one!" It was the short soldier who spoke.

"That's normal! If it's the same, it's not normal! Zhao Yun said a little blandly, "Your task is to dismantle it!" ”

"Tear it down?" All eight of them opened their mouths wide.

"That's right! If you look at its nose, there's a cannon there, and I'm going to see what it's built in. Zhao Yun didn't shy away from them, the structure of this plane had suffocated him.

"Sir! We've never touched a plane before! If it is dismantled, the plane will be destroyed! Another older soldier spoke.

"If it's ruined, it's ruined, demolished! I'll take care of it! Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, if he didn't dismantle it, he didn't know how this girl got it.

With a madman taking the lead, and a promise not to pay for the damage, the eight people are full of energy.

"Ding Ding Bell" for a day, and by the evening the hangar was already full of parts.

A good Spad plane, under the command of a layman, eight curious babies and saboteurs, made it into parts with screwdrivers, hammers, scissors, and iron drills.

"Finally got it out!" Zhao Yun looked at the 37mm cannon that was carried out separately and was ecstatic.

Five curious babies who have been repairing small cannons for more than ten years have started a new round of disassembly.

"I see!" It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that I finally figured out the principle.

The imagination of the French was so rich that they put magnified revolvers on planes.

The structure of the rifled gun is derived from the revolver, the rifled cannon is a single barrel, and the chamber has as many as five. Its basic working principle is to separate the actions of the weapon's feeding, loading, firing, and shell throwing, and carry out them in parallel, that is, the barrel does not rotate during the firing, but several chambers are driven by the runner to turn to the firing position of the barrel. At the same time as one chamber is fired, the rest of the chambers are unshelled and reloaded, so that the cycle time is shortened and the rate of fire is increased due to the automatic overlapping of the movements.

The rifled gun received a 37x155 mm cartridge; Simple structure and reliable action; But like the revolver, it is easy to leak air between the body tube and the runner; The rotor will absorb a large amount of heat energy when firing for a long time, which is easy to cause the combustion of ammunition in the chamber and cause danger; The chamber positioning mechanism is required to have a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the chamber is precisely aligned with the barrel.

Since finding the plane in the French hangar, the spy has found information from the French Air Force that most of the plane's attacks are downwards against ground targets, or upwards against airships flying at high altitudes. However, airships are only available in small quantities in Germany, so they rarely attack upwards.

After the ammunition is fired, the empty cannon needs to be manually reloaded with each round of ammunition, and the rate of fire is quite slow. Therefore, French weapons experts have a lot of complaints about this weapon: large size, heavy weight, small magazine, poor firepower continuity; High recoil, curved trajectory, and low hit rate

But there is two pieces of good news:

The 37-mm shells that no matter what kind of aircraft in the air cannot withstand, basically as long as they hit the plane, it is a big hole, fighters are, bombers are also, and the effect is much stronger than using machine guns; (Nonsense!) That's a cannon! )

On the ground, the French once tested that it could also fight tanks.

The frontal armor of the tank is definitely not good, and the 37 mm gun can't bite through the thick iron sheet, but attacking the tank and armored vehicles from behind is extraordinary. The most advantageous aspect of an airplane against a tank is to shoot directly at the tank's engine compartment, which is where the tank is weakest, so it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
