Chapter 6: Spitfire, Fighter Fighters, and Sky Trains

The Super Marlin Spitfire is a piston fighter developed by Britain during World War II. Whether it is fame or combat effectiveness, it is the first echelon in the current European battlefield.

She designed it with a monoplane structure, all-metal load-bearing skin, riveted fuselage, retractable landing gear, torque conversion propellers and flap devices.

In the Battle of Britain, it fought back and forth with the Bf-109, the main aircraft of Sandezi, and even slightly superior in horizontal maneuverability and firepower.

Although the speed may be slightly worse than that of Santokuko's fighter, the devil's Lu Hang can only eat ash behind her ass.

When the pilots of the two sides have the same level of piloting, the paper data of the big spray nine completely exploded the devil's ninety-seven, one-type falcon, and two-type Zhong Kui.

And her stability is better, which can significantly reduce the burden on the pilot, which is an advantage when fighting.

Due to the relatively low wing load, it is possible to adopt the combat tactics of approaching and running with a single blow at high speed when engaging the enemy, and seize air supremacy through the advantage of good horizontal mobility.

The Big Jet Nine has an empty weight of 2,960 kg and is powered by a 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce Merlin 61 engine.

The top speed at sea level is 493 km/h, the maximum speed is 650 km/h, and the practical ceiling is 11,500 m.

Armament consists of two 20 mm Sispano cannons and four 7.7 mm Browning machine guns.

In addition, it can carry two AN-M57 bombs weighing 119.45 kg and having a charge of 57.6 kg of TNT.

Originally, the Big Jet 9 could carry 16 Erlikong air-launched rockets, a weapon weighing 12.84 kilograms and containing 1.6 kilograms of TNT.

It's a pity that the research progress of the Yellow River is not enough, resulting in the rocket being swallowed by the system.

But even without a ground weapon, bombs, cannons, and machine guns alone are sufficient, and the threat to ground units is high.

Unlike Huang He, who simply looks at the appearance of the Spitfire, the director is more concerned about the aerodynamic layout of his new partner. He put his hand on the wing, feeling it all the way to the wing.

A fighter with excellent aerodynamic shape and strong combat effectiveness can be praised by anyone.

"It is worthy of being the most advanced fighter with the British, I heard that she shined in the air battle of Britain, and it is not much better than Sandezi's plane."

Suddenly, the director saw a few stars under the driver's compartment.

This discovery made his eyes widen as if he had discovered a new continent, and then ran as fast as he could to the other Spitfires.

"Oh my God, these fighters have a record of shooting down. That pilot named Wang Hai actually killed nine enemy planes, but I didn't expect that there were aces among the first batch of pilots of our Eighth Route Army! ”

"And there is more than one, at least two of the comrades shot down and started!"

Looking at the director who looked like stars in his eyes, Huang He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He was very afraid that Lao Zeng would get to the bottom of it, and before he communicated with the combat hero, he didn't know what identity the system arranged for the other party.

Luckily, the Director's attention at this time was completely absorbed by these Spitfires. He touched left and right, as if trying to memorize all the details in his mind.

"But then again, this plane is really good-looking, and it's completely different from the British cargo I've been exposed to before."

Huang He nodded very approvingly, and after thinking for a moment, he said the very classic sentence in the later generations in advance.

"There are a total of eight buckets of British weapons, eighty fights of Spitfire fighters, and a total of seventy-two buckets of weapons and equipment left."

As soon as these words came out, the director was stunned for a few seconds, and then he couldn't stand up with a smile.

One thing to say, Dai Ying is really talented in how to make weapons and equipment ugly.

This strange skill was already in the first place during the First World War, and it became uncontrollable during the Second World War, and even more so after the end of the World War.

Let's start with our old friend Lewis machine gun, which is obviously quite a light machine gun. But in appearance, it looks no different from a recoilless cannon.

Let's not talk about its performance, in terms of appearance alone, it is definitely on the same level as Shaosha in my heart.

Then there is the saucer helmet that military fans are familiar with, its flat shape makes it easy to bounce off the flying shrapnel, and its good ballistic resistance is very suitable for the combat environment of the trench confrontation in World War I.

But the shape of this helmet is really too similar to the hat of an ancient British farmer, and even the British themselves call it a farmer's helmet.

The last one is the knuckle brass knife, which is a bit unpopular.

When it was released to the unit as a melee weapon, many soldiers questioned the significance of the knife as a weapon. There was even a colonel who believed that the use of such nondescript gadgets was completely inconsistent with the identity of a British soldier.

After the First World War is over, it is time for the Second World War, and at this time the Stern submachine gun has to be mentioned.

During the Kirk retreat, in order not to be driven into the sea by Sandeko's army, the soldiers with the British threw away a large number of small arms, and they were eager to leave their pants on the beach.

The people came back, but the guys who fought in the war lost everything, so they rushed to make the simple and cheap Si Deng.

For the appearance of this submachine gun, we can summarize it in one sentence, why can your water hose fire bullets?

"Alright! You kid knows how to complain all day long. The last time I saw your brigade commander, he told me that he liked breastfeeding. At the time I didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. ”

"Look at other people's planes, how wonderful! If we can learn other people's design concepts, we don't have to worry about it for decades to come, and the heritage of the empire on which the sun never sets is really worthy of its name. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Huang He's mouth twitched wildly.

As a traverser who came back from later generations, those ingenious planes made by the British are memorable.

After the end of World War II, various major powers were scrambling to develop a new generation of fighters.

As a permanent member of the Security Council, the United Kingdom is naturally not far behind, so please be mentally prepared to let you see what a stargazing-level aircraft is.

The first to bear the brunt was the first big brother, the victor medium-range strategic bomber. Due to her distinctive crescent-shaped wing and high flat-tail layout, four engines are mounted on the wing roots, with air intake on both sides.

From the front, it looks like a frowning face, as if someone owes her a lot of bombs.

Compared with the B47 and Figure 16 of the same period, it is really ugly and ugly.

The next one is even more heavyweight, which can be called the Fuso of AWACS. Before seeing her, many people thought that they could engage in illegal construction without more than one plane.

Her name is Hunter Fan, because it was developed on the basis of a passenger plane, so she was congenitally deficient.

In order to achieve her performance standard, the designers added two large radomes in the nose and tail of the aircraft, and installed early warning radars.

As a result, her nose looks like that of Squidward, and her tail looks like a large lump. The ugly one is very distinctive, and it is full of slots at a glance.

Next is the Gannet reconnaissance aircraft, which seems to have been designed by the French, and the wings can be folded in three sections. In addition, there is a huge radome in the belly of the aircraft, which looks like a pregnant woman who is ten months pregnant.

However, her performance is not bad, and she is the world's first carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft with a twin-shaft turboprop engine and the dual functions of "discovery" and "hunting" at the same time.

There is even a great potential for subsequent upgrades, with extended models such as early warning aircraft, electronic countermeasures aircraft, and transport aircraft.

Finally, this is the only supersonic fighter developed by the British and put into production. Her name is Lightning, and she is a twin-engine, single-seat all-weather fighter.

Her biggest design feature is the engines stacked on top of each other vertically, which can only be said to be very ingenious by the designer. With two engines running side by side, there was no longer enough space in the machine to install a large fuel tank.

But the Royal Air Force had enough of the suffering of a broken leg, and there were requirements for the flight, and in the end, in order to meet the standard, they could only build a large conformal fuel tank under the belly.

Unlike the thin and light fuselage of the MiG-21 of the same era, the Lightning fighter resembles a middle-aged man with a big belly, giving people a bulky feeling.

However, the planes of the World War II era were very good, and there was no anti-sky design in terms of styling.

A few minutes later, the director finished recording the basic data of the Spitfire, and he was ready to pull the Yellow River to talk to the battle heroes.

"Lao Zeng, you go over first. I want to look at these fighters again, the one who came with me, you know, his specialty is aircraft power engineering. ”

"I was going to come with me today, but I couldn't come because of something. He asked me to help bring some data back, and I guess I'm going to try reverse engineering next. ”

After hearing this, the director turned around and left without much thought.

With the opportunity to be alone, Huang He immediately focused on opening the system in his mind. The Air Force is very important to the troops, and it can be counted as a second if it is a second.

After seeing the next decision, he clenched his fists in some disappointment. This time there weren't too many mutations, and the effect was similar to the one in the game, except that there were more transporters.

"Purchase of fighter planes: Our air force is in dire need of modern fighters to deal with the threat of foreign enemies, and since our industrial capacity is not yet able to produce aircraft, we must find other ways.

Vesting time: 48 days

Results: We will get 100 old fighters (trainer versions) and 25 transport planes with the British, and will allow the military factories within the system to produce ammunition and bombs for the currently existing fighters."

One thing to say, this decision is not bad.

100 training planes is a complete send-off for the current border area.

Huang He was discussing something with the bosses recently, and he was going to recall the comrades who were studying at the SHC Aviation School. According to the agreement between the two parties, there were a total of 43 people there at this time.

In the aviation school, they were divided into two classes.

In addition to the course of travel, the comrades of the flight class also studied the principles of flight, aircraft construction, engine principles and construction, air navigation, aerial shooting, communications, bombing, as well as mechanical maintenance and meteorology.

In addition to learning the principles and construction of aircraft and engines, as well as maintenance and operation techniques, the students of the other mechanical class also minor courses in flight, communications, pilotage, shooting, bombing and photography, and mastering carpentry, welders and other basic knowledge related to maintenance.

Although the level of education of these comrades is generally not high, they study very hard.

In the absence of textbooks and handouts, they listened and took notes during class.

Everyone formed several support groups after class, and whenever they had free time, they would get together to organize their notes. Because of the poor foundation, sometimes it is necessary to sort out four or five times before you can get a complete information.

Even in this difficult environment, the comrades used their collective wisdom to slowly grasp the theoretical knowledge they had learned. After a period of study, his grades even surpassed those of local students.

At present, this group of comrades has not been reduced in personnel because of the training accident, and it is a wiser choice to call them back than to re-select some fighters with a cultural foundation in the border areas.

In the original world line, after the big and small beards went to war, SHC thought that Maozi was unreliable, and immediately took refuge in the bald head.

Not only were the cadets forced to leave the school, but they were also imprisoned.

At this point in time, the united front is nominally solid. It is still possible to call the cadets back at a price, after all, weapons can be produced, but pilots are difficult to train.

What's more, there are only 30 biplanes in that broken aviation school, and there are now 106 in our border area!

Speaking of biplanes, this time the system was given to the fighter fighter MK2 type, which was the last biplane fighter developed by the British.

This aircraft originally did not have a trainer model, and it is clear that it has been systematically modified.

In a sense, the decline of the British aviation industry was premonitored.

After the end of World War I, the Gallic chicken was very rigid in army tactics, and in World War II, it was still using trenches and squatting pits.

Obiei also encountered the same problem, and their basic research and design ideas for aviation were very conservative. It can be said that it lagged behind the rising stars of the ugly country and Sandezi in all aspects, and lost its status as the number one industrial country.

While others were researching various monoplane fighters, Dai Ying was still stubbornly insisting on developing biplane fighters.

But because of this, the Gladiator is definitely the best of the two wings. Even if you fight against the single-wing 96 ship battle, you can face it head-on.

She has an all-metal fuselage, a closed cockpit, and is armed with four 7.7mm Browning machine guns. It has a top speed of 414 km/h and excellent hovering ability.

Fruit Pants also introduced 40 planes before the war, but unfortunately because they were not familiar with the structure, after the first assembly, four of them were reimbursed for accidents during taxiing and takeoff.

But it was these 36 fighters who killed 48 Japanese planes in the entire War of Resistance Against Japan. There is even an amazing score of 2:7, and three pilots have won the title of ace with her.

25 transport racks are even more ruthless, during World War II, Britain and the ugly country reached an aid agreement, so Britain does not develop its own military transport aircraft.

So the system gave the C-47 transport plane, the air train.

The aircraft can carry up to 28 people and has a range of 2,600 kilometers.

In the military, the C-47 can transport supplies, soldiers, paratroopers, combat materiel, and most tasks except fighter jets and bombers.

She also took part in the famous Operation Normandy and Operation Market Garden White, and also played a role in the Sino-Japanese War, and the Hump route relied on these transport planes.
