Chapter 554: US-Japan Confrontation (I)
PS: The description in the previous chapter is incorrect, the Air Force's twin-engine heavy combat is based on the Su-35, replaced with the engine and avionics of the F-15, and a type-keeping fuel tank similar to the F-15 can be added, so the appearance is still closer to the Su-35. Our family is military blind, you have to understand, ╮(╯▽╰)╭......

What these pilots don't know is that there are actually more than two kinds of new fighter planes in the Air Force, and there is also a heavier fighter with higher performance that is being test-flown and this is the J-16 "Cloud Eagle" that has been flying into a long distance, an advanced fighter with long-range coupled canard wing + main ****** and wing-body fusion. It has a longer range and fighting ability than the J-12 "Warhawk" of Efei, but Cheng Fei made the mistake of developing the J-2 this time, because they also used too many new technologies this time, and the result was too big a step, and the prototype could not go to the sky, and the Air Force couldn't wait to get on the J-12 first.
Later, under the intervention of Mr. Wen, the Air Force still left a place for them, and at the same time, Mr. Wen also told Cheng Fei not to rush and continue to improve. Therefore, the aircraft will not be able to test fly until the end of 1940, and it will not be in service until 1941 at the earliest.
Although Chengfei's heavy fighters were delayed due to technical problems, they also shared a large piece of the cake in this military feast, and their J-15 "Dragon Owl" became the main front-line fighter of the Army Aviation. Well, the "Dragon Owl" is enlarged on the basis of the "Thunder Dragon" of the original time and space, and then replaced with a higher-power engine, so that it becomes an excellent front-line fighter.
It can not only be competent for the task of front-line cover and suppression of the opponent's attack aircraft, but also can work part-time as a bomb truck to cooperate with the Qiang-7 "Thunderbird" attack aircraft to strike at enemy ground targets.
In addition, the Qiang-7 "Thunderbird" attack aircraft is also a work of Cheng Fei, similar in appearance to the A-10 of the original time and space, known as the "flying armored combat vehicle", an artifact that licks the earth, and is a nightmare for the enemy's armored forces. Of course, it is still very different from the A-10, the biggest difference is that its frenzied cannon is made into a cannon pod, but from a six-barreled Gatling gun to a single-barreled rotating gun, so as to avoid the A-10's old problem of "swallowing smoke", the smoke of the original six-barreled gun is too big, and the A10 crashed 8 out of 10 because of swallowing smoke. Moreover, after the position of the cannon is changed in this way, it can be easily installed with photoelectric detection equipment. In addition, the fuselage was modified, and the wings were changed to a shape similar to the "Su-39", which increased its maximum speed to 950 kilometers per hour.
Yes, the Chinese Army Aviation in this plane is different from those countries in the original space, space and later generations, not only equipped with fixed-wing aircraft, but also fighter aircraft. This is mainly because of the problem of coordination between the services, which has nothing to do with technology, but purely for institutional reasons, even the most advanced army also exists, and it is expected that the air force can provide support and cover for the army at any time, and this problem cannot be solved even after 100 years of the original time and space. For example, the U.S. military in the 21st century, the original time and space, has engaged in a lot of oolong incidents because of this coordination problem. With so many lessons in front of him, Mr. Wen naturally would not take a detour, so when he established the land aviation, he gave them all the types of aircraft to be used.
Of course, due to the characteristics of the mission, the aircraft type of the army aviation will certainly not be able to compare with the air force, and they do not need to seize air supremacy, nor do they need to carry out strategic strikes. Therefore, it will not be equipped with strategic reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighters, and medium and heavy bombers, and the main aircraft of the army aviation will be front-line fighters to protect itself, attack aircraft for ground support, and of course, short- and medium-distance transport aircraft and tactical reconnaissance aircraft.
The fighters that China has completely reequipped this time are all third-generation jet fighters, and all of them are advanced fighters that use turbofan engines and advanced fire control, flight control, and other avionics systems. And because the material, electronic, and software technologies of the Plane are higher than those of the original space-time in the 90s and even the early 21st century, their performance is still above the blueprint.
Some people may feel that it is not cost-effective to go directly to the third-generation machine, thinking that it is much ahead of the curve, and the excess performance will affect the cost performance, and the second-generation machine is enough. In fact, on the contrary, it is the most cost-effective to go directly to the third-generation aircraft, and it will be used for 30 years after the redress. If you still learn from the original time and space, it will change once every few years, and that will be the real big pit. To put it mildly, if you make do with it, this batch of models can be used for more than half a century, and if you change it, it will not be a problem to use it for a century.
The unit price of the third-generation aircraft is definitely more expensive than the second-generation aircraft, but once the production is large, this cost will naturally come down. In addition, turbofans are more fuel-efficient than turbojets and have a higher service life, which is the real cost-effective. Therefore, in addition to the J-10 "Golden Eagle", a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor born from the MiG-25, it continues to use turbofan engines, and other new aircraft use more fuel-efficient and long-life turbofan engines. Even the turbojet of the "Golden Eagle" is a new type of turbojet using space materials, coupled with the use of new materials in the airframe, the avionics system is more advanced, and its performance far exceeds the prototype of the MiG-25.
As for the surplus of performance, this has never been a problem, and if you don't use good things, you have to tie one hand and fight with people, isn't that a fool? Some people say that third-generation aircraft are not suitable for dealing with low-speed targets, but in fact, on the contrary, only third-generation aircraft have more powerful fighting ability and maneuverability, and only third-generation aircraft can fight high-speed and low-speed targets together, and second-generation aircraft are not suitable for dealing with low-speed targets at all. Besides, although this time it was a rearmament, not all of the aircraft were replaced, and a considerable number of turboprop aircraft designed to deal with low-speed targets were also retained.
And what about "balance", that's only what the game considers. In reality, there has never been any "balance" to speak of, and when the British Empire was coercive in the world, who would talk to him about "balance"? When the United States was the sole superpower of the original time and space, who would talk to him about "balance"?
Of course, the urgency of these models is lower, so the priority should be slightly lower.

March 6, Republic 2781 (1940), Moshan Strait.
The Mozambique Strait is the Mozambique Strait, and after Mozambique was taken over by Japan, it was renamed Mozambique, and this strait was naturally renamed.
At this time, when the wind and waves are calm, the sea reflects the blue sky, and the bright sunlight sprinkles ten thousand points of Venus on the vast sea. At this moment, the roar of an engine sounded in the air, breaking the silence. As you can see from the gaps in the clouds, this is a large group of four-engine planes that are coming from the north, and the course is supposed to be the mainland of western Japan.
If people who are familiar with China's armaments see it, they will definitely recognize it at a glance, and these aircraft are one of the signature signs of the Chinese Air Force - the H-7 "Vulture" heavy bomber, which is the world's first aircraft equipped with a flight management system and a glass cockpit. The aircraft was refurbished at the end of the 20s and became a symbol of strategic bombers as soon as it entered service.
Well, in fact, this is the turboprop magic version of the original space-time B-29 "Super Flying Fortress", because it adopts a lot of new processes and new designs in later generations, its performance is far better than that of B-29, because it is replaced with four 3000 kilowatts (4023 horsepower) turboprop engines, which increases its maximum speed to 720 kilometers, the continuous cruising speed reaches 680 kilometers, and the maximum ceiling is increased to 14000 meters, which is enough to make a large number of foreign fighters can only follow it and eat dust, and can only be seen in the dust. To tell the truth, if it wants to run, it will be difficult for even China's own fighter jets to catch up with it, of course, the fighter jets that were in service at the same time as it, not the jets that are now being refitted.
Thanks to the use of high-power turboprops, the maximum range of the "Vulture" was increased to 14,000 km, the maximum bomb load was increased to 16 tons, and when it carried 5 tons of bombs, the effective combat radius reached 4,000 km. Moreover, it is equipped with an extremely advanced bombing sight (a magic version of the Norton sight), which is so accurate that it has almost reached the limit of unguided weapons.
This heavy bomber has almost become one of the symbols of the Chinese Air Force, although it has not had the opportunity to participate in actual combat, but the performance has naturally become a symbol of the bomber. However, China has been very tight on this kind of bomber, and it is not sold at all, even if the member countries of the People's Revolutionary Federation want to buy heavy bombing, they can only buy the second-grade H-4 "Black-necked Swan" heavy bomber, that is, the magic version of the B-17 Flying Fortress, which still uses an air-cooled piston engine, not a turboprop.
However, the fuselage of the "vultures" in front of them was replaced with the sunburst emblem of the Japanese People's Air Force, and it was obvious that this was a bomber belonging to the Japanese Air Force. If it is seen by foreigners, it will definitely be surprising that the Chinese actually even sell their treasures, although it is still an internal transaction of the People's Revolutionary Federation, but it is also an export.
In the cabin of the lead plane, a pilot couldn't help but say to the commander beside him: "Captain Fujino, this vulture is really amazing! It's much better than our deep mountain explosion!"
Japan also has a four-engine heavy bomber called "Deep Mountain", which they refer to the H-4 imported from China, and then use various technical equipment such as engines obtained from China, and save it themselves, of course, the performance is better than the original time and space of the same name.
"Hehehe, we are the first country other than China to use this kind of advanced bomber, and Bailu (Russian Empire) and Turkey are still behind...... Fujino said proudly. He could not help but think of the envious and hateful eyes of the delegates of Belarus and Turkey and Persia, and the sour congratulations that were obviously tinged with vinegar, and when he thought of them, he felt so sour.
"It should be given to us first, we Japan are an important backbone of the People's Revolutionary Federation, and of course they must be ranked behind. Hiroi, the bombardier next to him, said. "Captain, this should be the most advanced heavy crit machine in the world, right?"
"Well, of course the most advanced, except for China. They wouldn't have sold us vultures if they didn't have a better reexplosion. Although he doesn't know what China's new heavy bomb looks like, according to China's consistent style, if they don't have a better heavy bomb, it will be impossible to export the H-7.
"Yes, China's aviation technology is really advanced...... "Second Lieutenant Maeda, the captain, sighed: "With this aircraft, we can carry out transoceanic critique attacks on the homeland of the ghost animals of the United States......
"What nonsense are you talking about? A one-way crit is pretty much the same, unless we're deployed in South America......"
"The location of the mainland of the United States is too good, there is a vast ocean on both sides, it is really difficult to hit them......"
Everyone began to talk about how to fight the United States. This is not surprising, because during this period of time, the relationship between the two countries can be said to have plummeted for the sake of the South African issue, and both countries have laid heavy troops on the border, and the smell of gunpowder has become stronger and stronger.
It's just that the two sides have no intention of really fighting, and the American cactus comrades are now concentrating on making war profits, but they don't want to trap themselves in it. You must know that a few years ago, he was engaged in the New Deal, but he owed a lot of debts to the banks, and he got into a fight with Japan.
And Japan doesn't want to fight, they are now in the process of an unprecedented relocation - the relocation of the country, such a big project has already killed a lot of brain cells of the bigwigs, how can they be in the mood to fight. Besides, in the case that President Wen has not clearly expressed his support now, Comrade Bei Yihui is not sure to win the United States. So now the two sides are doing the most, except for the mouth cannon or the mouth cannon.
At this time, the communications officer Tanaka suddenly said: "Shaosa, the commander of Takamachi wants to talk to you......"
Fujino hurriedly picked up the intercom: "Report to the chief of Takamachi, I'm ...... Fujino"
"Fujino, did you have bombs on your plane, and how much fuel do you have?" Fujino's familiar voice came from the headphones, it was Senior General Takamachi Shirou, the commander of the Japanese People's Air Force.
"Yes, Governor Takamachi. When the Chinese comrades handed over the plane, they gave them a batch of gifts, including eight 500-kilogram guided gliding bombs that we are carrying on our planes, which are guided by infrared and television. I took off from China's Red Sea base, and I still have about a third of the fuel left, and if I maintain the current speed and altitude, I can sail about 2,000 kilometers. ”
"Very good! You immediately change course and go to the south of the Moshan Strait, the specific location is XX degrees X minutes X seconds east longitude, X degrees X minutes X seconds south latitude......" Takamachi Shirou paused and said: "Now our naval comrades are facing off against the Mi Fleet, and you should immediately rush to support." Note that no firing or bombing is allowed without my orders. ”
"Yes, Governor Takamachi. We immediately went to support our naval comrades. ”
Fujino immediately dialed the intercom to the brigade channel and gave an order to the crews: "Ladies and gentlemen, Commander Takamachi ordered us to immediately go to support the navy, and now we will immediately change the course, and the target is XX degrees X minutes X seconds east longitude and XX degrees X minutes X seconds south latitude. Attention, prepare 500 kg guided gliding bombs, but do not attack without orders!"
At the command center of the Air Force Command, Shirou Takamachi hung up the intercom and focused on the screen in front of him. At this time, the situation of the two sides was displayed on the screen, the blue cursor representing the US warship was facing off against the red cursor representing the Japanese warship, and there were some fast-moving red and blue dots around, which were the planes of both sides. And in the northern part of the strait, the First Heavy Explosive Brigade that he personally ordered just now is changing course.
At this time, a staff officer came over and said, "Your Excellency, the Minister of the Admiralty Toyota has called and wants our Air Force to send two more wings of fighters ......."
Takamachi Shirou nodded: "Well, yes, it seems that the people of HNA can't hold down the scene." Just send the 12th and 13th wings that have just been redressed......"
Takamachi Shirou was a non-existent figure in the original plane, because of the cyborg he sent to Japan, the original plane of course did not exist. Takamachi Shirou joined the Japanese Science and Technology Party at an early age, graduated from the Aviation Department of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1912, and entered the army aviation service in old Japan. During this period, he participated in World War I, competed with Allied pilots in Europe, and achieved 28 victories, and was a famous ace of the Japanese Army Airlines. By the time of the Japanese Revolution, he had become a lieutenant in the air force.
After the success of Japan's socialist revolution, in order to better control the army, the new government drew some personnel from the army and navy, and selected some new personnel from among the party members, league members, and activists, and formed the Japanese People's Air Force in December 1924. Since then, the Japanese armed forces have become a situation in which the army, navy, and air force stand on their own.
The Air Force is the son of the Japanese Science and Technology Party, of course, they have to go up by their own people, and the original generals of the old army are not suitable for mastering this brand-new army, so Takamachi Shiro, a veteran of the Japanese Science and Technology Party, began to take a helicopter, and was promoted to major general by leap and grade that year, and was appointed chief of staff of the Air Force. In 1930, Sugeo Ogasawara was transferred to the post of Minister of the Air Force, and Takamachi Shirou naturally took over the post of Commander of the Air Force.
..................................................................
Southern part of the Moshan Strait.
The Japanese Air Force's 1st Heavy Explosives Group is rushing to the scene of the incident at full speed.
Fujino looked out of the porthole of the plane and saw a vast sea of clouds, like a thousand waves rising in the sea. The rolling clouds and mountains are like icebergs floating on the sea, and the golden sunlight outlines these silver mountains and towers with distinct outlines. The clouds lay low below the cabin, as if countless snow mounds formed a white wasteland. High in the sky is a different scene, clear and clear, as if there is only an infinite emptiness above the blue sky.
The scenery is so pleasing to the eye that Fujino feels like he never gets tired of seeing it. But now was not the time to see the scenery, he ordered: "Lower the altitude and go below the clouds! the clouds here are too dense to see anything......
"Shaozuo, there is an electric detector on the vulture, and we can use the electric detector to detect the ...... of the United States fleet," the radar officer said excitedly. After using China's radar, he felt that all those Japanese radars could be thrown away.
"Yaga! I know that there are electric spies on the vultures, I mean the people of the United States can't see us!" Fujino glared at the stupid guy and said, "We're not going to fight now, we're going to show off our strength! If the other party can't see us, how can we show off our strength?"
"Hai, Shao Zuo......" The radar officer came back to his senses.
Soon, the 1st Heavy Explosive Brigade dived at a small angle and rushed down from the clouds.
"Found the target, Shaozo. The azimuth is 112, the distance is 136, the number of sea surfaces is more than 40, and the air targets are more than 100 ......," the radar officer hurriedly reported.
Fujino leaned his face in front of the Commander's Scope. As far as the eye could see, the sea below was vast and boundless, and the blue sea stretched from the bottom of the cabin all the way forward, connecting with the sky. Where the sea and the sky meet, there are dozens of beetle-sized ships, shining in the bright sunlight.
At this moment, a group of planes, also painted with the emblem of the rising sun, sprang out of the oblique thorns.
The pilots of the opposing side were visibly stunned, they had never known that Japan had such aircraft. It took a while for a burst of Japanese to come from the intercom: "Are you part of the Air Force?"
"Yes, we are the 1st Heavy Explosive Brigade of the Japanese People's Air Force, and we were ordered to rush to support ......," Fujino replied. He recognized at a glance that this was the 96 ship battle of the Japanese Navy. Of course, the 96 ship battles on this plane are also completely different from the products of the same name in the original time and space, they look more like the "gale" of the original time and space, but they are also larger, the body is more streamlined, and the weapons are more powerful. Well, it can almost be seen as an enhanced version of "Gale".
This kind of aircraft is also the use of parts from China, the Japanese have saved their own, but not to mention, the performance of this "compatible aircraft" is quite good, compared with European and American aircraft, it is not lagging behind, and even wins.
Under the guidance of this group of 96 ships, the first heavy explosion group soon came to the sky above the fleet.
I saw that the fleets of the United States and Japan below were lined up, and they were facing each other face to face, as if two gangs of community members were standing on the street. The "leading big brothers" on the side of the Japanese fleet were naturally the two Yamato-class battleships in the middle of the battle.
"Wow, it's the Yamato and the Musashi!" exclaimed Hiroi, the bombardier. "There are also Kii and Owari, and Ise, Kaga, and Nagato are also ...... Wow, all 20 of our capital ships have arrived! There are also 8 regular air carriers, let me see, they are Xianghe, Ruihe, Feihe, Yunhe, Dafeng, Xiangfeng, Ruifeng, and Chifeng...... The main forces of the Navy are all ......"
Fujino said with a dark face: "Hiroi, if there is any irreparable accident in this machine, you must remember to blow up the blast sight as soon as possible! This is the most confidential equipment, and it must not be leaked!"
"Hai, Shaozuo, I will protect it with my life!" Hiroi hurriedly promised. He looked at the red handle under the sight, it was the self-destruct device, and if you pulled it hard, a small bomb inside would explode after 30 seconds, not very powerful, but enough to destroy the sight. Moreover, even if it fails, you can still use a fire axe. The titular commander Ogasawara Shuo was completely emptied, and the real power was grasped. In 1930, Sugeo Ogasawara was transferred to the post of Minister of the Air Force, and Takamachi Shirou naturally took over the post of Commander of the Air Force.
