Chapter 0146: Air Combat

If you don't fight back after being beaten, it's not Liuyun's style: Liuyun gave up the "Zero Battle" and replaced it with a "woolly bear weapon" with similar performance to the Mustang - Ra-9.

And so the one-sided slaughter began again......

After that, Liuyun was successively replaced with Hans's BF-109 and John Bull's "Spitfire", which gave the rookies a "vast sky......

As simulated air combat progresses, the pilots' flying skills continue to improve......

At the same time, several prototype versions of the Mustang aircraft in the Jiuquan Aircraft Factory gradually took shape......

Looking at the wild horse that appeared in front of him again, Liuyun, who was deeply emotional, took a few steps forward and patted the silver-white fuselage of the plane.

Because of the mature technology, the test flight went exceptionally smoothly, and the test of the flight envelope was quickly completed.

Due to the lack of pilots, several prototypes were two-seat trainer aircraft, and after the finalization, the aircraft entered the low-speed mass production stage......

At the same time as the aircraft is finalized and produced, Liuyun uses the trainer to conduct one-on-one teaching, and the pilots are "mass-produced" in small batches.

Because they have been exposed to airplanes in the flight simulator in the early stage, many pilots are already familiar with the judgment of the instrument, and the actual training is mainly aimed at the pilot's feel to the joystick and the sense of space during fighting.

Because the "rigid demand" for steel has passed, a large amount of surplus power near Jiuquan has been transferred to the production of aluminum. And the research and development of the aircraft, because the "cottage" did not spend much money, which led to the fact that the cost of the Jiuquan "Mustang" fighter was lower than the cost of large-scale mass production of Eagle sauce.

In line with the principle of "I'm not bad for money, people-oriented", Liuyun, after flying with the students a few times, handed over the control to the students, let the students toss, and also called it "The young eagle needs to be beaten to fly into the sky".

To Liuyun's surprise, the mentality of the students who had just flown a few times was relatively stable, and they practiced according to the tactical movements taught by Liuyun step by step......

So, Mr. Liuyun, who was bored, returned to the command tower by himself. And Liuyun's little follower, "Tianshan Tongma" Liu Xuanxiao, after being a CIC behind Liuyun's ass for a few days, found that pilots were much more interesting than CICs, so he used the privilege of "Miss" to change jobs.

Under Liuyun's guidance, Liu Xuanxiao, who quickly learned various tactical moves, turned his evil gaze to a novice like her......

As a result, Jiuquan gave birth to the first blue army of the Northwest Air Force: the Liu family's father-daughter squadron.

Under the guidance of this guiding ideology, Liuyun used the strengthened V12 engine as the power to DIY two later models of the John Bull Spitfire - Spitfire Mark XII.

As a result, the young men of the newly established flight regiment tasted the taste of being dominated by fear: a two-plane formation composed of two naughty boys, one large and one small, abused a group of pilots who had just received a new single-seater plane to the point that they could not find the North ......

Although the atmosphere of the radio conversation during the training was very relaxed, many clever pilots still felt the abnormal atmosphere of the training base: after all the trainees completed the scheduled assessment, the ground crew of the base began to install twin 23mm caliber cannons codenamed "GSH-23L" on the wings of the aircraft; After the formation of the flight regiment, a large radar station began to be built on the high mountains around the base......

When the members of the flight squadron saw the Japanese Mitsubishi Ki-21 heavy bomber on the flight simulator, they really realized that the war was really coming......

In April 1939, the flight regiment secretly transferred to the Longnan Airport that had just been built, and some careful team members found that all the bullets loaded by the ground crew were high-explosive incendiary bombs marked in red; Moreover, there were people from the North Soviet side at the airport......

At the end of April, all fighter planes were given the same grey camouflage as the North Sula-3. The airport was immediately put on secondary alert.

On May 1, the airport was put on Level 1 alert, and all pilots began sleeping in flight suits.

On May 2, all pilots were asked to go to bed early.

On May 3, at eight o'clock in the morning, the bell of Longnan Airport rang loudly.

Hearing the bell, all the pilots quickly got up, put on their flight helmets, and ran out of the dormitory with their document bags......

Half an hour later, all twenty-nine planes of a regiment rose into the air.

After liftoff, Liuyun began to assign tasks: intercepting a group of Japanese bombers that had taken off from Hankou and headed for the mountain city to bomb in the Enshi area; The 3rd Brigade is responsible for encircling the aircraft group, using the equipment it carries to interfere with communications, and is responsible for the outer border, the 1st and 2nd Brigades are responsible for attacking, and the Liu Father and Daughter Squadron is responsible for cleaning up the parachute jumpers......

Two hours later, the 3rd Flying Group, which had arrived in the predetermined airspace, used its own camouflage and the cover of low-altitude clouds to surround 12 Japanese Mitsubishi Ki-21 heavy bombers from a distance and call the 2nd Group to attack.

Eighteen planes of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, which received the attack signal, attacked the bomber group in two waves, the first using point fire to clear the enemy's defensive fire, and the second wave of direct strafing......

The commander of the Naval Bomber Regiment of the First Combined Air Force of Japan stationed in Hankou, who was "well informed," refused the request of the fighter regiment to escort the fighter group because he was convinced that "it would be impossible for the planes of the Sanmin Government to catch up with him." I thought I could swallow the results of the battle alone, but I didn't think about it......

As Liuyun expected, a group of bombers that had never encountered such an unexpected situation had never encountered it, because of its slow speed and slow response, in less than ten minutes, a bomber group was reduced to ashes......

Twenty hours later, a long-range reconnaissance plane sent by Tsukahara 243, commander of the Japanese Navy's 1st Combined Air Force, who had not returned to the bomber, discovered the wreckage of the bomber in the Enshi area after searching for five or six hours, and the bombing plan for that day was forced to be cancelled......

On the same day, Tsukahara 243, who received the news of the war between his country and the North Soviet Union at Nomenkan, was scared into a cold sweat: the North Soviet side sold high-level fighter planes to the Sanmin government......

After the "Enshi Great Victory", the North Soviet aid China Air Force began to think of those "British-made Spitfire fighters" with exceptionally good performance in the northwest, but they didn't pay much attention to it: the North Soviet fighter engines will be replaced with star piston engines with more horsepower in the future; As for the source of the fighters, the intelligence agencies of the North Soviet Union were not vegetarians, and they had long known that Ma Xuanzhong was eye-to-eye with the Jews, and it was not a big deal to get dozens of planes.

Because "Ma Xuanzhong has a good personal relationship with the high-level of the North Soviet Union", the North Soviet Air Force aiding China gave the Northwest Flight Regiment the right to fight independently......

In the conference room of Longnan Airport.

Li Yu, who had dealt with Beisu for a while, was a little surprised: "Dad, this is not the same as imagined?" Why didn't they ask to see it? ”
