I am an innate aviation holy body!

This made Zhang Yong quite complacent. I want to show off.

Aircraft coming from the southeast......

Is it Nanchang?

Flew to Jinling from Nanchang?

It's possible.

During this time, there were successive aircraft transfers.

Lao Jiang got rid of the Southern Heavenly King, but in fact, it was the Aviation Committee that got the biggest benefit. It's the National Air Force.

Nantenwang has a lot of planes. Although they are all very backward biplanes.

However, after all, the number is there, and many pilots have been trained.

In later historical materials, there are very few records of these Cantonese pilots. However, it is certain that they all joined the national air force and participated in the war against Japan.

Since the August 14 air battle in 1937, the battle between the national government air force and the Japanese invaders has never subsided.

For a period of time in the middle, due to the lack of aircraft, the national air force was completely in a state of passive beating.

However, there has never been a shortage of pilots in the national air force.

Both in the early and late stages, the number of pilots is sufficient.

A heroic batch, a supplementary batch.

Forward and continuous.

The Aviation Commission has indeed done a hard job in training pilots.

Although, their combat experience is insufficient, and their combat record is not outstanding. However, they never stopped. And never flinched.

Whenever there is an airplane, there is a pilot to fly it.

Even after the arrival of the Soviet Aviation Volunteer Corps and the Beautiful Country Aviation Volunteer Corps, Huaxia's own pilots are still a very important part.

Most of the pilots are disciples of rich families. Receive a good education from an early age. They have never lagged behind in defending their homeland and country.

Unfortunately, the number of aircraft seriously restricts the performance of pilots.

Because of the insufficient number of aircraft and the backward performance, high-level training cannot be carried out.

Alas......

In the final analysis, the national strength is still weak!

Still have to find a way to get more planes. Unscrupulous to do it.

Turn right.

The plane shook violently.

"Let it go!"

"The radius is too small!"

"Let it go!"

Chen Shanben shouted sharply from behind.

Zhang Yong then let go of his hand. The biplane gradually regained its balance.

Oh, it's fine. It's safe. There's no stalling or anything like that.

As long as you don't die by yourself and don't forcibly push the joystick to the ground, frankly, the chances of a crash are very small.

Of course, if it's an engine failure, say otherwise. However, even if the engine fails, it can glide lightly and make a forced landing.

The most feared thing is a broken wing. Then it's really hopeless.

But canvas-skinned wings also have a benefit. Even if the bullet penetrates casually, the impact is not great.

The canvas had a few bullet holes, or dozens of bullet holes, that didn't seem to have much effect on air flow. As long as it doesn't catch fire, it's still safe.

In fact, the deadliest thing is still the pilot who was shot.

Because the pilot's cockpit is not protected in any way. Any bullet can pierce through.

Unlike the later old American fighters, the fuel tank has a self-closing function. It can also be quickly closed if it is pierced by a bullet. No oil leakage.

The pilot's cockpit, front, rear, left and right, underneath, is protected by thick steel plates. Ordinary 7.7mm bullets can't penetrate at all.

The most typical is the P-38 Twin Demon.

The protection of the pilot, it is simply of the fortress level. Not afraid of Japanese machine guns at all.

The fuel tank has a self-closing function. Two more engines. The fuel tank capacity is large again. Also armed with six machine guns. It's just crazy aerial butcher knives.

Aerial fighting, nothing to be afraid of.

The final result was that even Yamamoto Fifty-six was killed by it.

Continue to turn right.

There was no such rush this time. The radius is slightly larger.

The biplane tilted. But it's okay. I don't feel anything. Smooth turn southwest.

Getting closer and closer to the planes that appeared on the opposite side.

Adjust the orientation.

Stagger the distance a little. so as not to collide head-on.

In this era, airplanes do not have automatic collision recognition. It's not surprising to bump into each other head-to-face.

Steady.

Look ahead to the left with your eyes wide open.

Sure enough, twenty seconds later, a civil airliner appeared in the upper left.

Hey?

It's actually a civil airliner?

I thought it was a military plane transferred from Nanchang!

Errors in judgment.

But it's okay.

Whatever the plane. Maps have proven to be useful.

It is really possible to spot aviation targets at a distance of 12 nautical miles (22 km). You can prepare in advance.

Well, there was a slight error in the altitude judgment. He had forgotten to check the details of the plane's logo just now. Didn't notice the height difference.

The biplane piloted by Zhang Yong flew at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. And the height of that civil airliner is about 1,200 meters. The difference is about 200 meters. Coupled with the horizontal distance between the two sides, it seems even more distant. It's not clear at all.

So he continued to turn.

He was ready to catch up.

Just boring. Let's see if we can fly with a civil airliner.

Large radius turns.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Shanben shouted from behind.

"I'm going to chase the airliner." Zhang Yong replied.

"It's gone."

"I'll catch up and take a look."

"If there is a slight deviation in azimuth and altitude, the target will be lost."

"I'll give it a try."

Zhang Yong did not explain in too much detail.

View the altitude of the target airliner. It's still around 1200 meters.

Row, climb.

Climb to an altitude of 1200 meters. Then accelerate horizontally. Approach.

Finally......

See the target again.

"Huh?"

Chen Shanben was a little surprised.

This Zhang Yong, does he have such a good sense of direction?

In the air, it is actually possible to accurately locate the target? This is a very powerful skill!

For pilots, high technical skills are important. But, more importantly, awareness. It's a sense of direction. It is to determine the position and height at which the target is likely to appear.

In the era when there was no radar, pilots were in the air, fighting entirely by visual or self-conscious.

Radio transmission has many flaws.

Moreover, on the radio, it is impossible to accurately describe the complex battle situation.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

Rely on a high level of consciousness to make the right judgments.

Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to make a mistake in judgment and get surrounded by enemy aircraft.

"Oh......"

Here, Zhang Yong saw the target clearly.

It turned out to be a McDonnell Douglas DC-3 transport aircraft. Also airliners.

It has only 28 seats. This is true for the standard version. However, it was already the main force of the world's air passenger transportation at that time. Almost all airlines are equipped with this DC-3 transport aircraft. So is China Airlines. At Dajiaochang Airport, there are many DC-3 transport planes. All are newly introduced.

Gradually approaching the airliner.

Then it was found that the distance was getting farther and farther away.

Worst......

It was the airliner that accelerated.

The DC-3 airliner actually accelerated.

It couldn't figure out what was going on, but it noticed that the plane was tailgating, and decided to speed away.

At the same time, it began to climb in height.

Zhang Yong: ???

Dizzy!

Don't run!

I'm not trying to rob from the air!

I'm just here to see ......

However......

The airliner continued to accelerate, climbing.

Soon, it quickly disappeared on Zhang Yong's forehead.

Belch......

It climbs fast.

The maximum ceiling of this DC-3 transport aircraft can go to about 7,000 meters.

Its cruising speed is around 260 km/h. The maximum speed can exceed 350 km/h. The performance can be said to be quite good.

No matter from which point of view, it is necessary to throw off the biplane piloted by Zhang Yong for more than a dozen streets.

Even if Zhang Yong stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank, it would be impossible to catch up with the DC-3 transport plane.

I had to give up.

Keep flying.

Hopefully there's another plane at the edge of the map to cut in, and then go over and say hello.

Suddenly feel as if you can function as an early warning aircraft in the air? It is to detect in advance, deploy in advance, and lay an ambush in the air. Run when you're done.

Hey?

Run after fighting? hit-and-run？

The fighters of the National Air Force are generally low in performance, and they are certainly not opponents of the Japanese fighters in a head-to-head confrontation.

There was only a sneak attack.

Or an ambush.

When the enemy is caught off guard, open fire decisively.

Run when you're done.

Regardless of the fighter, immediately disengage.

If the Japanese fighters catch up, a second ambush will be deployed. Keep beating hard.

Right!

That's it!

You can command it from the air!

You can use your own world map to blow up the Japanese planes.

"How's the radio?"

"What?"

"I said how about radio contact."

"Not good."

Chen Shanben replied. But I didn't say specifics.

Zhang Yong felt that after he went back, it was necessary to study the radio well.

The best modification that can be modified. Keep the connection open.

Bored.

It was decided to return to Jinling.

"Huh?"

Chen Shanben was a little surprised.

This Zhang Yong, can you find the way back to Jinling so accurately?

That said, in the endless sky, there is no reference at all. Just a simple dashboard. It's still a bit difficult to make the right judgment.

Chen Shanben decided not to say anything. Let's see what kind of level Zhang Yong can fly.

Zhang Yong didn't care about him. Returning to the sky over Jinling on his own. It was found that there was still almost half of the oil. It seems a pity to land like this?

I finally came up for a trip, of course, I had to wait until the fuel was almost exhausted before I went back!

So, keep flying. Fly towards Yangzhou.

Chen Shanben: ???

Never mind. Shut up yourself!

It doesn't feel like Zhang Yong has made a mistake. Rather, it was deliberate.

This guy has obviously returned to Jinling, but he just doesn't want to land. I still want to keep flying.

Understandable.

It's rare to come up once. Of course, it can't be easily returned.

If it were someone else, the ground conning tower would definitely call. Asked to return, landing.

If you refuse to carry out the order, the consequences are serious.

But Zhang Yong's identity is special. No one dared to dictate to him.

Unless it was Commander Qian who came forward in person. Or Vice Minister Min and others.

Zhang Yong is not only the director of the Strategic Intelligence Division, but also the deputy director of the Security Division, and the inspector of the Aviation Commission. That's a whole lot of titles. Even Zhang Ping could not ask him to return and land. Let him go. Anyway, when the fuel ran out, he came back on his own.

Fly all the way to Yangzhou.

But nothing was seen.

The ground was gray. The map is also not shown.

Bored.

So turned.

It was decided to fly along the mouth of the Yangtze River.

He's going to fly to the East China Sea to have a look. Maybe you can find a Japanese warship?

The aircraft carrier of the Japanese invaders should not be in the East China Sea. Only destroyers or cruisers or the like. It is relatively safe to fly the plane over by yourself.

So it flew all the way east.

Sure enough, it soon entered the sea and sky.

No battleships found......

No battleships found......

The world map is not shown at all.

Regretful......

The oil soon alarmed.

Helpless......

Come back to Jinling.

Prepare to land.

I'm tired of playing. It's actually not very fun.

People are high in the air, a little cold. Luckily, it's summer. It's not a big deal.

If it's winter, flying to an altitude of 1,000 meters, it is estimated that you will shiver from the cold.

It's still a biplane!

If it is other aircraft, the ceiling is more than 5000 meters. Then the temperature drops a lot.

At an altitude of 5,000 meters, you can almost make ice cream.

If you fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, you can really make ice quickly. Making ice cream in the air is not a myth.

Push the joystick. Prepare to land.

Suddenly, the map prompted that in the southwest direction, another airplane sign appeared.

One......

Two......

Three......

Hey? There are actually three planes?

Secretly curious, where did this come from? Where to go?

Do you think you want to land at Okoba Airport?

"What do you do?" Chen Shanben said, "Land! ”

"I feel a plane approaching." Zhang Yong deliberately vague, "I'll see if it's true." ”

"Feelings?"

"Yes. Southwest. ”

"How could it be ......"

Chen Shanben almost blurted out, you!

Thankfully, I held back. After all, Zhang Yong is the chief. Although it is a bit mysterious. But you can't scold the sir!

Then, not long after, Chen Shanben was shocked to see that three biplanes had really appeared nearby.

"You're from Nanchang?"

"It should be."

Zhang Yong made a large radius turn.

Tried to go around the back of three biplanes.

Outcome......

Three biplanes misunderstood.

They thought that Zhang Yong was here to lead the way. So he followed Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong: ???

This is......

All right. If you follow, follow it.

So he led the team. Start landing. The three biplanes in the back also lowered their altitude.

"You ......"

Chen Shanben wanted to speak and stopped.

It feels like things are a little out of my control.

Zhang Yong: This is going to ......

Pretending to be a navigator?

Are you a rookie who tries to take someone to land for the first time in the sky?

No......

Don't be so brave!

If something goes wrong, it will destroy the machine and kill people.

The biplane behind if you accidentally crash into it. Or maybe you didn't land well......

However, he found that it was too late to say anything.

Because Zhang Yong has already begun to land. The height is already below 500 feet.

What to do?

I can only resign myself to fate.

Hope it's okay......

Shiver.

Shake.

Bounce.

The plane touches the ground.

Chen Shanben's heart immediately rose to his throat.

Secretly resentful. This damn Zhang Yong, next time I will never take him to heaven again. Let him fly on his own.

The first time he took off, he made it seem like a senior ace.

Fortunately, the trainer landed safely.

"Good."

Zhang Yong was also very satisfied.

He is indeed an aviation innate holy body.

The first time it took off, it had such a perfect performance. No mistake at all.

Compared to the ground fists and feet, marksmanship is not good, and you feel that the air is your home field? If there is one P-38, he can fight ten at a time.

Stop.

Chen Shanben hurriedly crawled out.

Down-to-earth. It's safe. looked at Zhang Yong, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't say anything.

Zhang Yong came out slowly.

Saw that there were guards.

Armed.

Armed at all points.

"What's going on?"

"Report! It came from Nanchang Airport. ”

"Got it."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Sure enough, it came from Lingnan.

Even people with planes.

With their arrival, the national air force may become more and more lively.

The three airports of Jinling, Shanghai and Hangzhou can no longer meet the needs. Second-tier airports must be expanded.

From the perspective of the outbreak of war next year, not only second-tier airports need to be put on the agenda, but third-tier airports will also start construction. Especially Kunming and Chengdu.

B-29 bombers that took off from Chengdu could set off to bomb most of the areas occupied by the Japanese invaders.

Kunming Airport is the main force supporting the expeditionary force.

Alas, what a thousand things!

Suddenly, I saw Gu Bafeng coming in a hurry.

Yes, something happened again.
