Chapter 115: The Wild Boar Attack Aircraft Goes Offline

It's July, and it's hot now.

So for the workers of the Eighth Route Army Aircraft Factory, it was really annoying at this time, although the workshop was also equipped with an electric fan, but it was still hot, and it was really sweaty.

However, the results were very remarkable, more and more advanced aircraft were manufactured, some entered service with the Eighth Route Army Aviation Units, and more were sold to the Allies.

This also brought huge benefits to the Eighth Route Army, and now relying on the arsenal opened by Duan Yunpeng, the Eighth Route Army is very rich, and its life is better.

The workers had to make a tooth sacrifice once a few days, but in the past, they couldn't eat meat once a month, and it was difficult to eat enough.

With the workers working overtime, the first two prototypes of the Wild Boar attack aircraft finally completed the final assembly in early July and are about to roll off the assembly line.

This time, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army and the senior representatives of the allied forces came again to participate in the off-line ceremony.

After all, the Boar attack aircraft is not an ordinary aircraft, it is the world's first real jet fighter, and it is also a heavy attack aircraft, its take-off weight is more than twenty tons, which is larger than all the current attack aircraft.

The main target of the Boar attack aircraft is to hit tanks and armored vehicles, and you must know that anti-tank weapons in the air have long appeared.

For example, the German HS-129 attack aircraft is known as a tank opener, in fact, this attack aircraft is not very advanced, and its flight performance is relatively poor, relying on armor and firepower advantages, it has become a tank killer.

The nose of the HS-129 is completely wrapped in defensive armor, and even the windshield is 75 mm thick bulletproof glass.

In addition, the HS-129 has two 20mm cannons and one 30mm cannon, and can also be attached to two 50-kilogram aerial bombs.

However, this model is produced in small quantities, because when equipped with this cannon, it is too bulky, and it can only carry twelve armor-piercing shells at a time, and it can penetrate armor 130 mm thick at a distance of several hundred meters.

And this attack aircraft, with a maximum take-off weight, is only more than five tons.

Compared to the Boar attack aircraft, it is too small.

So in this era, the Boar attack aircraft, which will definitely become the strongest attack aircraft, is not one of them.

And as the first jet fighter, it will also open a new combat mode, in addition to being able to attack ground targets, in fact, it is a fighter with a propeller, it is also very easy, after all, relying on thick armor, it is almost invincible, coupled with its powerful firepower, thirty mm Gatling cannon, no combat aircraft can withstand it.

Therefore, the Allies are also very eager to get a large number of Boar attack aircraft, so that they have air tanks that can suppress the Germans and the little devils.

This offline ceremony naturally attracted the attention of the allied forces, so the senior representatives of the allied forces who came this time were also very heavy and high-level.

Even Chennault of the Flying Tigers was on the scene.

Now the Flying Tigers plan to equip a hundred Boar attack aircraft, which is quite a lot.

But the Boar attack aircraft is not cheap, after all, it is a jet combat aircraft, and it is large, so it is more expensive than the B29 bomber, and one will cost 700,000 dollars.

The purchase of 100 Wild Boar attack aircraft requires 70 million US dollars, which is definitely a very large order.

This is the equivalent of buying a giant battleship.

Today's offline ceremony is also very festive and lively, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of the leading guests.

Duan Yunpeng was still very confident in the Wild Boar attack aircraft, and he believed that the allies would definitely like this kind of attack aircraft with thick skin and thick flesh.

It's like an air tank, it can blow up all enemies.

In this day and age, jet attack aircraft are definitely the king of the sky.

Although it is not known for its maneuverability, it can easily defeat enemy fighters at a maximum speed of 1,000 kilometers.

After a while, the leaders and guests came, and when they saw the wild boar attack plane, their eyes lit up, such a strong fighter was indeed beyond imagination.

It can be said that the shock brought to them is really too great.

They really liked the Wild Boar attack plane, so they immediately asked Duan Yunpeng to introduce this fighter to them.

Duan Yunpeng was also very happy, after all, this was the world's first jet combat aircraft.

The Boar attack aircraft is powered by two turbofan engines without afterburner, and the thrust of a single unit reaches 5,000 N, and the two add up to 100,000 N, this thrust can be said to be very powerful, it can make the 20-ton Boar attack aircraft reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than all piston engines and turboprop engine fighters.

Not only that, but its armor protection is also very strong, and the important parts of the fuselage are covered with advanced composite armor, including the outer cover of the engine, which can withstand the impact of a 20mm gun.

And it has ten pylons that can carry six tons, which means that it has a bomb load of six tons, which is more than many so-called heavy bombers.

The Boar's strongest weapon was the 30 mm Vulcan cannon under its nose, which had six barrels and was rotated by two hydraulic motors to fire sequentially.

The gun was five meters long, weighed nearly two tons, and the number of shells it carried reached 1,300 rounds, so it can be said that the sustained fire was very strong.

And it has a rate of fire of up to three thousand rounds per minute and can fire a wide range of shells.

It only takes a few rounds to be able to destroy a tank, not to mention a fighter, which is capable of shooting down a fighter with just one shot.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to fire one shell at a time, usually ten rounds are fired, and there are dozens of shots.

After listening to Duan Yunpeng's introduction, the senior representative of the Allied forces was even more overjoyed, with this kind of jet combat aircraft, it would be simply invincible, if it was to fight the German army and the little devil's fighter tanks, wouldn't it be the same as chopping melons and vegetables

Indeed, this is a formidable heavy fighter.

Next, the off-line ceremony began in a grand atmosphere, the leaders and guests cut the ribbon for the new fighter, and then the leaders and guests made important speeches.

The Allies really liked this aircraft so much that they said that they would equip at least a thousand Boar attack aircraft.

If this is true, it will make the Eighth Route Army crazy.

After all, 1,000 Boar attack aircraft is 700 million US dollars.

Not to mention too much, a plane with a profit of 100,000 dollars will make 100 million dollars.

After the off-line ceremony was completed, the leaders and guests were not in a hurry to climb into the cockpit and experience the charm of the world's first jet combat aircraft.
