“…… If I hadn't been around, I probably wouldn't have gotten there. But it just so happened that I happened to be passing by, so I don't have to think about it, I definitely have to go. Zhou Changfeng said as a matter of course.

Xia Xiaoshi, who had a complicated gaze, bowed slightly, "You are so thin, it's better to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Isolated some time ago, Zhou Changfeng, who was in the disaster area, naturally didn't have the leisure to send a telegram to Xia Xiaoshi alone, if it weren't for the news published in the newspaper, the latter would have thought that he would have come back a long time ago.

"It's normal, there's nothing to worry about, my body is fine, and I'll grow back in a few days." Zhou Changfeng, who looked relaxed, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's you, so thin, usually remember to eat more." ”

Xia Xiaoshi said quietly: "Sir, I am already a hundred catties." ”

"It's only a hundred pounds, your skeleton is small, and you can't see it if you have ten pounds more."

“……”

If it was said that Xia Xiaoshi's admiration for Zhou Changfeng was caused by the psychological factors of admiration and a little Yan Control at the beginning, then now with the deepening of her understanding and the end of the love period, she can't help but have some more realistic worries.

Hey, this guy is too wild! I'm afraid I won't be at home for a long time in the future, and I will only be able to see each other for a few months a year, right?

And there are some heartless, although they are not unreliable, but occasionally they are out of tune!

Of course, the worries she was thinking about were outright Versailles.

"Wouldn't it be more comfortable if no one cared? Still not satisfied? It's too much! If it doesn't work, I'll do it! ”

"If it had been earlier, I would have tried it too."

"That's a lieutenant colonel of the Navy, you can buy a car in two years without saving a few years, and it's eye-catching to say it."

"Sister Xiaoshi, if I have difficulties in the future, I must help my sister one or two......"

The words of your colleagues made Xia Xiaoshi slightly embarrassed, and she was embarrassed and fell into self-doubt - it seems that she was too worried?

And when she was entangled, Zhou Changfeng, who was completely relaxed, lived an absolutely comfortable and leisurely life in Qixia Prison.

After the beginning of autumn, it is the time when the sea bass is plump, the fresh and fragrant braised sea bass, the tender and juicy tenderloin, the fragrant and glutinous hooves, and a few taels of sweet Guilin Xiaoqu, this treatment is really not something that can be enjoyed usually.

The pastries left by Xia Xiaoshi when she came to visit last time were not finished, so Zhou Changfeng set off for Laizhou, and the remaining pastries were naturally cheaper than Mu Yu.

But how can it be eaten in vain?

So the latter was forced to work as a coolie for Zhou Changfeng these days, proofreading the drafts he wrote word by word, and then transcribing them again.

“…… In the future, with the development of communication means and interactive technology, it is certain that the offensive and defensive combat mode will shift to air-ground integration, three-dimensional unity, and air-ground coordination. But that level is too high, and it can only be described as a prospect. At the moment, it would be good for us to try to achieve a certain degree of cooperation. ”

"It's... Am I a little too far ahead of my time? I don't think it's realistic. ”

Seeing Mu Yu's suspicious face, Zhou Changfeng said casually: "Didn't I say it, this is a prospect for the future, and it will definitely not be able to achieve it now due to the limited means of interaction, but you can refer to it, I suggest that your air force get a special air-ground guidance vehicle in the future, and the coordination team can ride to accompany the ground troops forward, so that the communication efficiency will be much higher." ”

The former nodded, and muttered: "Well, I've been exploring and testing since last year, and it's estimated that there are three to five people in such a team, and the on-board radio is considering monopole whip antennas and half-wave oscillator antennas...... I don't know the rest of the progress. ”

The mission mode of the Air Force actually depends on the positioning and construction ideas of this branch of the armed forces, and it is different for different countries.

For example, the Soviet-German air force can be regarded as a tactical air force in a broad sense, and its mission is to a large extent to serve the army, and most of them are mainly close support and tactical bombing missions, although strategic bombing exists, but it is rare, and air strikes are an indispensable part of blitzkrieg warfare.

The British and American air forces, on the other hand, can be called the strategic air force that people like to see, and they are widely equipped with Avro-691 "Lancaster," B-17 "Flying Fortress," B-24 "Liberator," and other four-engine heavy bombers.

Of course, this is actually the comments and classifications made by later generations from the commanding heights of history, and there is no unified definition of the concept in this regard in various countries at present, and everyone is only building the aviation force according to their own needs.

As early as 20 years ago, some people in the Ming Dynasty proposed the construction of professional long-range bomber units, which could bomb the Kuzbass industrial area of Tsarist Russia in wartime.

With the rapid development of aviation technology, the development of heavy and long-range bombers has become feasible, so the Ming Military Department continued to develop on this basis, and put forward a series of ideas including "striking at the Siberian railway hub" and "attacking the Ural industrial zone".

At the same time, the cities of Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, and Tomsk were also planned targets.

As the industrial essence of Tsarist Russia, the Ural industrial region is home to steel, automobile, and aircraft manufacturing sectors, while the Kuzbass industrial region is a major producer of coal, oil, and heavy machinery.

After finishing the day's draft narration and revision, Zhou Changfeng and Mu Yu continued to talk about strategic bombing with interest.

The latter said with some expectation: "According to intelligence, the year before last, the US Army Aviation invited bids for large bombers that can fly long distances, and Boeing's products have the best performance, but they did not purchase them in large quantities because of their high prices." After hearing the rumors, the Air Force is also thinking about following up, and it should be able to make its first flight this year. ”

"Long-range bombers?" Zhou Changfeng thought for a moment and asked, "The secret level is very high, right?" I haven't heard anything about it. ”

"That's natural, the tender is open, but the specific progress has been kept secret to this day."

"Well, I hope it will come out sooner."

In the spring of the previous year, the U.S. Army Airlines issued a tender for heavy bombers, requiring them to carry 2,000kg bombs to fly 8,000 km, which means that they can cross the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic, a program focused on feasibility verification.

But this was undoubtedly impractical, so the Army Airlines adjusted the requirements the following year, carrying 900kg bombs to fly 3,000km, and the winner could get a large order of at least 200 planes.

Douglas, Martin, Boeing and other companies all participated in the bidding, and the best of them was Boeing's products, but because of the purchase price of $200,000, twice the products of other companies, the US Army Airlines, which was shy of money, finally chose Douglas's B-18 bomber.

However, because Boeing's products were too good, the tangled Army Airlines finally gritted its teeth and purchased more than a dozen aircraft, numbered YB-17.

The actions of the Americans undoubtedly stimulated Akito on the other side of the ocean.

If the bomber units equipped with this type of aircraft are deployed in the Philippines, it means that Qiongzhou, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Dagu are all within the effective strike range, and can even threaten Changsha and Nanchang inland.

Therefore, the Daming Military Department, which was planning to slowly develop long-range bombers, had to speed up its pace, and at the same time officially issued a tender for heavy fighters.

This was due to the fact that the Air Force believed that ordinary fighters could not effectively intercept groups of heavy bombers, so it was necessary to equip a fighter with exceptionally powerful firepower and sufficient flight speed to protect the imperial sky from invasion.

In Zhou Changfeng's view, there is nothing wrong with the development of the Ming Air Force, it is neither ambitious nor detached from reality, and it is very healthy.

And in terms of the overall atmosphere, compared to the army and navy, which can obviously feel the twilight, the Daming Air Force gives him the feeling of being vigorous and thriving.

At the same meeting, the senior generals held meetings, and the air force was generally in their 40s or 50 years old, more than 10 years younger than the average age of 60 in the army and navy.

The average level of education is very high, and the military branch has been established for a short time and is independent, all kinds of factors have made the Daming Air Force a place that represents the highest level of Chinese military style today.

To be honest, Zhou Changfeng once wanted to serve there, but finally dispelled the idea, after all, interlacing is like a mountain, airborne operations are extremely complicated, and his superficial knowledge is useless.

At the same time, the Air Force also did not deal much with the mainstream center-right and center-right parties such as the Constitutional Council, the National People's Association, and the Sun and Moon Society.

Since she is considering following Zhu Lingjing first, she has to keep a distance from her now, and she can't cross it, otherwise in her eyes, this is much more serious than the nature of talking to herself, which Zhou Changfeng is clear.

Day after day, and then until the end of August, as the report on the army's weapons and equipment system was handed in, such idle and monotonous days were quickly broken.

First of all, the Ordnance Bureau sent an approval, and this kind of downward official document requires a reply.

Therefore, after a few days of paperwork, the Ordnance Bureau said that the Ministry of Military Affairs was considering organizing a meeting to facilitate the exchange of some of the recommendations in the report.

At the beginning of September, with the return of the Ming military expedition, detailed face-to-face exchanges soon began.

After setting aside a few days to classify and summarize their respective achievements, the military headquarters and the metropolitan governor's office sent some generals and technicians to form a group and summoned representatives of the expedition team to attend the meeting.

"It's you, ruthless enough, how long is left in the sentence? Can it be released at the end of the year? As soon as he saw Zhou Changfeng, Chen Guangyun couldn't help laughing.

The former replied disappreciatively: "It's early, it seems to be the twentieth day of the first month." ”

After Zhou Changfeng lied about his illness and left, Chen Guangyun stayed in Barcelona for a long time, rewriting his experiences in Guadalajara from memory, and then turned to the southern front until the Battle of Talavera broke out.

"It's really outrageous, at that time, a few of us were looking at the map to figure out how the two sides would fight in this battle, Talavera itself is the core, and we must make a fuss about it."

As he spoke, Chen Guangyun showed a look of reminiscence, "Later, I learned that the rebels, the Italian army, and the Russian army had defeated the left and right flanks in just two days, and we expected that the battle line was going to collapse, but we really didn't expect that the salient was actually defended, we have seen the photos taken by the Germans, and the position layout and firepower are really exquisite......

Seeing that he was both embarrassed and excited, Zhou Changfeng sighed, waved his hand and said, "After all, it is only a tactical victory, and that defense system is only done according to local conditions." ”

"Why humility? After the battle ended a few days ago, the general process was exposed, and the public opinion of the Western countries was very interested. The French say in Le Figaro that this is a magical man from the East; The British "Telegraph" even used Defense Master as the headline. Chen Guangyun said.

A mysterious power from the East, right?

Hearing this, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help laughing, "I don't know if the British still remember that they said I was a killer last year......"

The division of labor in the military expedition team is clear, and everyone is responsible for different aspects, some are in charge of logistics, some are in charge of staff officers, and some are in charge of weapons, so they are also separated during face-to-face exchanges.

In terms of tactics, Zhou Changfeng felt that there was nothing to learn from and refer to, and the infantry tactics of the Germans were worth discussing.

As a result, his report focused more on the equipment system, and tactics as arguments.

In the early autumn morning, Nanjing's morning was still a little hot, and in a large room of the military department's official office, the large ceiling fan overhead was hula-hula, and the cool breeze was just right.

Present at the meeting were not only more than a dozen officers of the army, navy, and air force, but also several civilian technical personnel of no lower rank.

Since there had already been two written exchanges a few days ago, after a brief greeting and salutation, the conversation between the two sides quickly got to the point.

A kind-looking little old man spoke: "I see that you have a very firm opinion of yourself, you are also a chief officer, and you have rich experience in battles, have you ever thought about the common use of ammunition?" ”

This is actually the matter of intermediate power ammunition, and everyone in later generations knows the benefits of intermediate power ammunition, and it is indeed good, but people do not believe it now.

There are always very few people who dare to take the first step.

"It's not difficult to solve, it can be equipped with a light machine gun that fires the same ammunition." Zhou Changfeng replied.

"To design and build a new light machine gun for this?" A civilian said without hesitation: "If you fire a bullet with weakened power, I am afraid that it can only ensure an effective range of 600 meters at most." ”

Zhou Changfeng was also unambiguous, and replied directly: "The effective range of the rifle used by a single soldier is four hundred meters, and the light machine gun can project the fire of the squad platoon to five or six hundred meters, which is very sufficient, and it is foreseeable that most of the future engagements will be within this distance." ”

"Five hundred meters? How so? ”

"A difference of 100 meters can make the difference between life and death, and the current light machine gun that fires normal bullets can attack the enemy at up to 800 meters under good deployment, and it must be known that one inch is long and one inch strong, which is really a bit ...... to reduce the firing range of self-reduction."

"On the open plain, if one of the enemy and our team suddenly encounters, our side will be completely suppressed, that's two hundred meters."

As expected, the generals present all questioned it, and their attitude was completely one-sided.

Obviously, people are bound to be resistant to new things that break through common sense.

The older senior officers insisted on considering the worst-case scenario, and to put it bluntly, they were not willing to suffer even a small loss.

Zhou Changfeng had already been mentally prepared for this, and he smiled bitterly with a little helplessness: "Seniors, we might as well think backwards, if our own equipment is like this, the firepower will be more fierce within 500 meters, and the other party will suffer; And this distance is the most common, and the enemy suffers far more losses than ours, which I think is very worthwhile. ”

There was something the day before yesterday.,I was going to make it up yesterday afternoon.,But in the book review area and people on the line.,And then I don't want to code words......
