Yang Zhen did not want future generations of Chinese to catch up with the aviation industry. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info aviation industry is the crown of modern industry, and it is not an easy thing for Chinese to take off this crown. I can't keep up with one step, but I can't keep up with every step.

Yang Zhen clearly knows that the development of the aviation industry is a step-by-step process. Understand that uprooting can only meet a temporary need, but it is not beneficial in the long run. However, you must take a long-term view and not give up the opportunity to catch up with the world's advanced because of some current difficulties, and stay at a backward standard and stop at the first place.

Therefore, Yang Zhen has been constantly taking measures to improve the level of his factory. Even if it is a temporary reduction in production, he will not hesitate to do so. Just like the Yak-9 fighter jet, which has begun to be made of all-aluminum, although the manufacturing process of the engine has matured, because the use of aluminum to make the fuselage is not proficient, the output that cannot meet the needs is still declining.

The performance of the P-40 fighters equipped with the troops before has lagged behind, and they are simply unable to compete with the latest American-made fighters. Finding an aircraft that can be used against American-made fighters, especially the P-51 and P-47 fighters that have begun to be equipped in large quantities in some respects, has become Yang Zhen's first decision to take in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the air force and not to be distracted by his own decision.

And although the Soviet-style La-7 fighter was a later model, its performance was not inferior to that of the American-made P-51 fighter. But after the implementation of their own plans, the Soviet side could only be excluded. Moreover, when the air crews of the Anti-United Nations were very dissatisfied with the Soviet fighters, the Soviets were no longer in Yang Zhen's consideration.

The Soviets supplied pull fighters, which were originally numerically inadequate. Although they are all new fighters, after being used for more than half a year, they are now gradually beginning to reach their service life. The wooden body has begun to age, and the power of the engine has begun to decline significantly.

The life span of these shoddy wartime aircraft was too short and the quality was too poor. The engines of each aircraft, even though they are all new products of the same model, have different actual power output. The engine power on the factory instructions can only be a reference number. The engine life of most aircraft is only a few dozen hours.

Although all of them are equipped with radios, it is common for them to malfunction due to poor quality. Before the forced aviation is put into front-line use, it can only be replaced with radios produced by the Anti-United Nations itself. The sight is not set reasonably, and it cannot be used when the canopy is closed. The ailerons and elevators are unusually heavy when turning at high speeds, and they can't be maneuvered without a good physical strength.

The wooden body itself is also very unsuitable for the Kannai and Nanman battlefields. The aviation units that were transferred to the Kannai to equip themselves with Soviet-made planes even reached the point where they did not dare to take off easily in early April or May. In the words of the Aerospace, these planes of the Soviets were simply disposable aircraft.

However, the aviation forces are still satisfied with the basic performance of the La-5 FN fighter and the La-7 fighter, believing that it can completely confront the new Japanese fighter. In particular, the La-7 fighter, in addition to its maximum speed and combat range, can basically compete with the P-51D fighter in terms of combat performance.

It's just that the quantity has been insufficient, and it has always been in a state of barely enough. The anti-coalition air force is now in an unbalanced situation of being light at one end and heavy at the other. The group of strategic bombers that carried out the bombing of Japan was always maintained on an oversized scale. But the fighter group is rapidly falling behind because of a large number of P-40 fighters.

In addition to some of the latest models, it can also take on the task of air defense in the rear. Most of the fighters can only be converted to attack aircraft. Because of the large number of P-40 fighters transferred to other positions, and in addition to the large number of SBD dive bombers provided by the US military in the past four years, the Anti-United Nations has greatly reduced the output of the Il-2 attack aircraft.

It is only that the attack aircraft unit is also guaranteed to be in sufficient quantity, but the most important fighter unit is always in short supply. The limited production capacity of the Yak-9 fighter needs to meet the needs of long-range escort. The Soviet-made pull fighter was one less when it was shot down, and the number of German goods handed over by the Soviets was limited by the Soviet-German battlefield situation.

The Soviets have not given any reply to the demand for an increase in the supply of goods to the United Nations. Only the captured German goods were used to prevaricate the demands of the Anti-Japanese Federation, in exchange for the raw materials of the U.S. aid military industry in the Anti-Japanese Federation. Even though the Soviet-German battlefield has come to an end, the supply of pull fighters is still strictly controlled.

Whether the Anti-Japanese Federation proposed to buy it in cash or to exchange it, the Soviets did not give any response. Even if a small number of planes are provided, they are quite slow. The Soviets are doing this for now, and after their own actions are launched, it will be hellish if the Soviets can still provide planes.

Therefore, in order to avoid a gap in combat effectiveness after raising the requirements for yourself. Yang Zhen can only take a two-legged approach, one is to make every effort to develop his own aviation industry and improve the technological level of the aviation industry as soon as possible. One is to find a way to collect loot, that is, to find substitutes.

The Germans went to the late production of aircraft, because of the lack of raw material sources, and the standard of craftsmanship also declined somewhat. But under the solid standards of craftsmanship of the Germans, the decline was quite limited. Moreover, in the later stage of the war, in the face of the overwhelming American, British, and Soviet air forces, coupled with the severe shortage of fuel, the Luftwaffe was basically unable to take off for combat, and many of the abandoned aircraft were brand new.

As long as you can get these planes, even if they are second-hand. But at least in a short period of time, it can make up for the lack of aircraft production caused by some of its own practices. You must know that the final defeat of the Luftwaffe was not completely inferior in equipment to the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. These combat aircraft, as long as they can be used, are good.

Of course, this premise is to have sufficient spare parts to ensure it, because the aero engines produced by Germany at the end of the war even had a service life of only more than 20 hours. There are not enough spare engines, and unless you spare the energy to imitate them, these planes will be a pile of scrap aluminum.

At Yang Zhen's request, the personnel of the Anti-United Nations risked their lives and traveled to almost every corner of the Soviet-occupied area, and every factory where the fighter used BMW engines was produced. And try to start from the US-British occupation area, and get a large number of spare engines and parts.

It can be said that the spare engine of this fighter aircraft in Germany's local inventory, as well as all the parts that can be found, have been brought back by the Anti-Union. Through communication with black-market arms dealers and the use of cash payments, a number of people have also been obtained from battlefields such as Norway and Denmark, where ground warfare has not taken place.

In order to guarantee this batch of aircraft, it will be able to be used for two to three years. Even the personnel of the Anti-United Nations went to every place where air battles took place on the Eastern Front, and even the usable parts of the destroyed planes were disassembled. finally managed to bring in a large number of replacement fighters before Yang Zhen's plan was in full swing.

By the end of the war, with the exception of some Yak-9 fighters and a small number of Soviet-made La-7 fighters, the fighter group of the entire aviation unit had basically been completely Germanized. The FW 190 fighter and the ME 109G and K models have undertaken most of the combat missions.

That's right, some of Yang Zhen's practices in the aviation industry seem to be a bit too radical in the eyes of many people. After recovering the Fushun aluminum plant and restoring part of its production capacity, Yang Zhen insisted that the newly produced Yak-9 fighter and the Il-2 fighter be changed from the original wooden body to all-aluminum.

The production of all-aluminum fuselage is undoubtedly a great challenge to the aviation industry, which is not at a high level in Northeast China. In particular, the shortage of qualified riveters also affects the play of production capacity. This also led to the fact that the production of the Yak-9 fighter was not high, and it could only linger at a low level for a long time. In addition, the output of Fushun Aluminum Plant is still limited, which further limits the increase in fighter production capacity.

In order to form the manufacturing capacity of large aircraft, Yang Zhen overturned the original decision not to produce the B24 bomber and the C47 transport aircraft for the time being. It was decided to produce these two aircraft in small batches in order to be able to form a large aircraft production capacity as soon as possible.

Yang Zhen would rather painstakingly collect second-hand goods left by the Germans, or risk a drop in fighter production and a significant increase in costs, or change to an all-aluminum fuselage that many people do not understand. After all, it is still wartime, and everything should be based on wartime needs.

Go all out for the front line, this slogan was shouted by Yang Zhen. How did it come to aviation manufacturing that this standard was changed? In addition, the production of all aircraft to aluminum has also affected the demand for aluminum in other areas. But under the insistence of him, the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, this far-sighted approach, which is so lofty in the eyes of many people, is still stubbornly implemented.

In fact, Yang Zhen did this, and there was no way to do it. The production of aircraft from timber can only be a last resort in the face of difficult situations in wartime. In fact, in the current aviation industry, the production of timber aircraft has actually been completely eliminated. Aviation aluminium has completely replaced wood as the main raw material for aircraft airframes.

The world, including the Japanese, who were even more scarce in raw materials, were the only Soviets who made airplanes out of wood. As for the Mosquito bombers of the British, that was a special need in exceptional circumstances. Aluminum, as the main raw material for the aviation industry, has completely replaced the use of wood.

Especially as the aviation industry is about to enter the jet age, the wooden airframe has no chance to turn over. If you want to develop a modern aviation industry, the production and use of aviation aluminum is an unavoidable topic. And China's aviation industry cannot only stay at the level of the Soviet Union during World War II.

If you want to keep up with the pace of the times, you must make every effort to catch up. If you can't keep up with one step, you may fall behind every step. The development and construction of industry is like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will be a substantial regression. Gritting your teeth and persevering at this stage is a victory.

What's more, the special glue needed to produce the body from wood cannot be produced by the anti-union itself, and all of it needs to be imported. This is also a key weakness that restricts the rise in aircraft production. Rather than being choked by someone at that time, it is better to make up your mind to improve now.

The most important thing is that since you have to master this production technology sooner or later, it is much better to master it early than later. It is more difficult at the moment, but it is not a situation where there are no alternatives. If it is possible to increase the overall production level of the aviation industry by a big step through these costs, then the price is worth it.

Under such circumstances, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the aviation force after the war, Yang Zhen was also a little unscrupulous. Although a large amount of money has been spent, it has also ensured that the combat effectiveness of the air force will not be cut off or decline during these critical two or three years. As long as we can truly master the production and use technology of aviation aluminum within two or three years, it is worth cultivating qualified aviation manufacturing talents.
