Chapter 22 The North China Battlefield Became More and More Like the Western Front of Europe

Not long after Zhong Lin left, Shan Wenbao was sweating profusely and carrying a briefcase, and rushed into the director's office in a hurry.

This old brother has a fiery temperament, and he entered the door and sat directly on the opposite side of the Yellow River. Without saying a word, he picked up the teacup on the table and poured it clean in one go, and then began to take out the papers from his bag.

The first thing that catches your eye is the structural section of the three training aircraft, and just a cursory glance at it can be deeply struck by the beauty of the engineering design.

The artist's technique is very skilled, and the beautiful drawings look as if they were printed.

Each key part of the three planes is marked with text, and even carefully notes what kind of materials are used and what kind of effect can be achieved.

After more than half an hour, Huang He roughly looked through all the documents.

Although he was very satisfied with the results submitted by the second section, his mood was mixed at this time, and now Huang could finally empathize with the brigade commander and the director.

The reason for the joy is naturally that there are several talented comrades in the bureau, who can independently develop new weapons without the need for their superiors to bother.

The reason for the worry is also very simple, the research and development of new aircraft is too expensive. Even if it is a training aircraft with relatively low technical difficulty.

Shan Wenbao came to the office with such a large amount of materials, obviously to apply for research grants.

The fact is just as Huang He thought, and after his own director put down the information, the other party said directly:

"We have completed the tasks assigned by the bureau, the design work is going very smoothly, and the version you just saw has been verified by all the researchers of the second department."

"Now there are three piston engines left, and we have to help our department implement this as soon as possible."

"The dozen old men are looking forward to starting work as soon as possible, why don't you try to contact the north and see if there is any way to get three?"

Saying this, Shan Wenbao paused, and his face actually showed a rare embarrassed expression.

"There's also the wind tunnel, the second department needs that thing very much, or the bureau will approve another fund for us!"

Huang He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, and the demand like a cannon gave him a headache.

It is true that the border region will grant some hard currency to the Bureau of Weapons Experiment and Research on time, but the money is always insufficient.

Propeller aircraft, extremely simple in structure.

Theoretically, a piston engine stuffed into an airplane casing and a few simple gauges would be the job.

Moreover, the essential difference between aircraft engines and automobile engines is not large, and now in this era, the former is arranged in a multi-cylinder circle, and the latter is mostly lined up.

It can be said that as long as the car engine can be built well, then the aircraft engine will not be bad.

Building engines is not a difficult task for other countries, because they have their own civilian car companies, and they have a lot of experience in this regard.

Once the war began, the migrant workers came up with a design plan, and as soon as they received an order for weapons, they could turn into a military industry.

For those who don't know, they will never know what the companies on the market actually produced during World War II.

Just like the British Rolls-Royce, BMW and Mercedes-Benz of Sandezi, General Motors and Ford of the ugly country, the development of the air force is inseparable from the technological accumulation and precipitation of private enterprises.

But there is nothing in the border area, and now the ability is to build a bicycle, and the liberation brand will have to wait until 15 years later.

Here, it is necessary to rely on civilian workers to lay the foundation for the development of the military industry, and basically don't even think about it.

The matter of the wind tunnel also needs to be solved as soon as possible, and during the period in the southeast base area of Shanxi, Shan Wenbao once used the gravity effect to fix the model aircraft on the rope block and move it down.

The conditions under which this equipment can be used are quite limited and it is difficult to measure the forces on the model.

After arriving in the border area, he used the resources at hand to build a low-speed wind tunnel.

Compared to the wind tunnels of those military powers, the border area is certainly much more rudimentary. After all, there is not even a return loop, and it is difficult to measure the pressure distribution of various airfoils, streamlined airframes, and aircraft components.

But this is already the best result at hand, which is more or less helpful for the design of the aircraft.

A small amount of money has been spent on these two things, and as the director of the bureau, Huang He is now eager to exchange his pants for money.

"Okay, I know the situation. But you'll have to give me some time, I'll contact the second department as soon as I have a clue about this. ”

"Let's put aside the work of the trainer for a while, and now let's go all out to design a glider."

"Good!"

After waiting for only himself to be left in the office, Huang He concentrated on opening the awakening system in his brain.

The previous decision, the "Aircraft Manufacturing Bureau of the Border Region", had been successfully unlocked a week ago, and the researcher-level senior engineer who came with the information was amazingly strong, and he had overcome a number of problems in just one week.

They also put a lot of effort into the design of the three trainers.

Next, as long as the second department has the ability to produce key components, the task of independent research and development and production of primary, intermediate and high three-level training aircraft can be successfully completed.

When it comes to spare parts, Huang He immediately set his sights on new decisions.

"Domestic fighter jet manufacturing: Now that our workers are familiar with how to carry out basic repair work, we can now go further and start manufacturing all the parts and components needed for a modern fighter jet.

Results: After 60 days, the military factory in the system allowed the production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter jet, and obtained the full production line and design drawings for the fighter.

After 180 days, get unlock access to all RAF fighters and close support aircraft.

Hint: Fighters contain heavy fighters, but not Gloucester Meteor and de Havilland Vampires.

In order to unlock the Jet Fighter, you will need to unlock the rest of the pre-research items and decisions.

Enabling manufacturer: Aviation Industry Chengfei.

Effect: Aircraft production speed in the military factory in the system: +15%, fighter maneuverability: +5%; Air Attack: +10%, Heavy Fighter Reliability: +20%, Tactical Bomber Reliability: +20%"

To be honest, the results of the new decision were quite surprising.

The first is that the military factories in the system can produce new fighters, and the system has given a certain number of fighters and Spitfires, and Huang He thought that the new decision would give hundreds of Hurricanes.

I didn't expect it to be very generous this time, and I directly gave the production permission.

Although the growth in strength is not obvious in a short period of time, the production capacity of military factories in four systems can produce one Hurricane in one day.

Huang He has a full seventeen in his hands, plus the production bonus brought by the decision, that is to say, there is an output of six planes per day.

This number will increase in the future, and it will definitely be more cost-effective to have production rights in the long run.

Don't look at all kinds of information that the RAF hurricane was beaten by devils, this data also takes into account the reasons for the pilot.

At that time, whether the devils were army aviation or Hainan Airlines, they were unscrupulously using the blood of the soldiers and civilians of the Republic of China to conduct actual combat training, and it would not be too much to say that they were all experienced.

For World War II fighter pilots, there is a huge difference in whether or not there is a little experience.

It is no exaggeration to say that those pilots who were inadequately trained and inexperienced took to the skies.

In the first battle, he can distinguish whether the surrounding planes are friend or foe, and where his long plane is, even if he is a genius among geniuses.

Driving experience aside, the performance of the Hurricane is still very good overall, and it can barely compete with a Falcon in Southeast Asia in the future.

Several of its important parameters are between the P-40 and the Type Falcon, and even more than the P-40 in hovering and climb rate, which is certainly enough to use against the Type 97 fighter.

The production line and drawings given by the decision were simply a relief in the snow for the Second Section and the Military Industry Bureau.

From the small landing gear to the production capacity of the engine, the two departments in the border area have the qualifications to go deep into the aviation field.

As the saying goes, five years of the Army, ten years of the Air Force, and a hundred years of the Navy.

The starting point of the border area is now much higher than it was originally. You must know that in 1941, there were not many countries in the world that could independently produce fighters.

Although all fighters and close support aircraft have unlocked permissions, it will take half a year to wait.

But the time spent and waiting for this is definitely worth it, and then Huang He will be able to unlock the eight aircraft of these three types with the scientific research slot.

The thought that the air force of the army would have a variety of aircraft in the future made Huang He's whole body tremble with excitement.

These weapons are all accumulated over decades of research and development by the British, and the Royal Air Force in this era has not taken a detour.

The ugly people were trying to find a thicker and bigger engine all day long, and Sandezi trained the workers of the aircraft engine factory to become master craftsmen.

Maozi almost installed the engine directly on the log, and replaced it for free in 50 hours.

The book studied eating clenbuterol for fighters all day long, and I couldn't wait to remove one of the pilot's thighs to lose weight.

In contrast, the technology of the belt is more suitable for the current number of roads in the border area. Even these piston propeller fighters will definitely be eliminated in future wars.

However, the precious data and information can save the motherland's R&D personnel from many detours, not to mention that this system is not without the scientific research and decision-making to unlock the jet fighter.

After turning off the system, Huang He suddenly burst out laughing.

Fighters, Hurricanes and Spitfires, these three brothers are the protagonists and supporting characters in the Battle of Britain.

Three months later, in the air battle of Nakajo Mountain, it is likely that the Spitfire and Hurricane were responsible for intercepting the escort fighters, and the Fighter and a small number of Hurricanes were responsible for attacking the bombers.

Isn't this an Asian version of the Battle of Britain in place?

Coupled with a Republic of China version of the Maginot Line, this North China battlefield has more and more flavor of the Western Front in Europe.

It's just that this time the defenders are not fighting alone, they have a strong reinforcement and an unexpected support.

The air is also not the enemy's home field, and the air force of the Eighth Route Army, which is more numerous and of higher quality, will deal a heavy blow to those devils who are reckless and reckless in North China.

When it came to the next war, Huang He immediately thought of Grand Master Li who was training.

"Lao Li, you have to fight for breath. You must play beautifully in your debut and make an appearance with the Air Force! ”

There are still a few hundred words left in the second chapter, and it is about a little bit left.
