Mitsubishi Aircraft Research Institute.

"Section Chief."

A devil officer walked in and reported to Jiro Tsurakoshi, who was busy next to a plane:

"German aviation technicians have disembarked and are expected to arrive in half an hour."

"The Aviation Headquarters asked you to pick it up."

"Got it."

Jiro continued to look at the plane in front of him without raising his head.

happened in the Northern Review, the air battle that shocked the entire imperial aviation community,

One of the enemy's twin-engine bombers, relying only on speed and technology, easily escaped surrounded by more than twenty Imperial aircraft, including five Zero fighters.

Such a war situation has made the Aviation Headquarters and the Admiralty deeply aware of one thing.

The path of the Empire, wrong!

The technical route of the Imperial Aviation is wrong!

Now, it is not the time of twenty years ago, when maneuverability was king, and although the maneuverability of the aircraft is important, the speed cannot be left behind. Even, more importantly.

But the empire's technological reserves are weak, and the basic scientific and technological capabilities are weak,

"Germany..."

"But also pay attention to speed."

The empire can't do it,

But Germany certainly can.

It is very difficult to make a breakthrough in engine technology.

The United States, although it has recently carried out large-scale commercial activities with the empire, it is impossible to export technology, and even began to impose a technological blockade on the empire.

But the United States is not the only technological powerhouse in the world.

···

"Pay attention to the height."

There is a further breakthrough in engine technology, and it is a large-span breakthrough, the kind of two or three years.

But...

"Speed!"

Especially in the field of aircraft engines.

If you want to greatly improve the performance of the Zero fighter, you can only equip it with high-horsepower engines, and you can't have too much weight gain.

Tuba Road not only has airplanes, but also a large number of air defense weapons, and the sky in North China is no longer their wanton racetrack.

Thanks to the amazing performance of the enemy's aircraft in North China, this time the Devil's Aviation Headquarters and the Admiralty no longer clash with each other, but unify the technical requirements - even if some maneuverability is sacrificed, the speed of the aircraft must be guaranteed.

They are all devil planes that have been in service for many years in North China, and they have participated in many missions to attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and support the ground locust army and the Eighth Route Battle.

The factory that produced engines in the empire was the Mitsubishi company he loved, and the most advanced engine at present was only 1,300 horsepower, and it was large in size, heavy in weight, and had a high failure rate.

"The Eighth Route Army had large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns."

Germany's science and technology are not inferior to those of the United States, and even surpass them in some fields.

To this end, the Aviation Headquarters and the Admiralty jointly issued the task of zero-type improvement,

This task naturally fell on the head of the designer of the Zero fighter, Jiro Tsukoshi.

Thinking of this, Jiro Dig Yue raised his head suddenly, and his eyes lit up.

BMW's engine, which is not at all worse than the engine of the Americans.

But recently,

The situation changed suddenly.

Ghanaian is organizing a pre-war conference.

A pre-war meeting on the bombing of the Tubalu base area.

Army Aviation Brigade of the North China Front, inside the headquarters.

The performance of the Zero fighter is already the limit, he almost squeezed out the performance of the Zero fighter, for which the rivet length and diameter were shortened, there was almost no protection, and even the strength of the fuselage was reduced, and even the fuel tank was a thin layer of aluminum skin.

Several of the pilots who attended the meeting were in a trance.

"Hey!"

"Without a good engine, where does the speed come from!"

Mobility and dogfights, such as circling and rolling, are gradually becoming obsolete.

The devil realized that in air combat, speed is king.

After the Zero is installed, the performance will be reduced.

Northern Review.

He also fought with the fighter jets of the preserved fruit.

"Someone."

Large-scale production also has the problem of low yield.

There's no room for improvement.

Imperial engine technology has reached its limits.

Thinking of this, Jiro Kikoshi was a little impatient for the upcoming German technical team.

unless

Jiro Tsutsukoshi sighed.

"The firing height is about 800 meters, the rate of fire is fast, the power is great, and it poses a great threat to our aircraft."

"It's also very maneuverable."

"Try not to lower below eight hundred meters."

Garner Shun is careful to advise.

"And speed."

"Although there is no intelligence that there are fighter jets on the Tsuchihachi Road, it cannot be ruled out that there is a possibility."

"So, during the attack, try to maintain your speed."

"Give enough retreat time."

"As soon as you spot an enemy fighter, immediately disengage from the battle, reduce the altitude, at an altitude of less than 100 meters, and return at full speed."

Gana Shun is an old devil with a lot of experience and rich experience in command and operations.

Although the troops did not show fighters, they still left enough vigilance and deployed the most optimal options.

In his opinion, the enemy's fighter is necessarily extremely fast, but this also has a drawback, high speed belongs to high-altitude fighters, and low-altitude, maneuverability is required.

Although the advantage of attacking low altitude is great when diving from high altitude, once the flight altitude is less than 100, then you can avoid the enemy's strength to the greatest extent.

"Hey!"

The devil pilots who participated in the meeting had solemn expressions.

They had all participated in the encirclement battle against the Tubalu planes that attacked Beiping not long ago, and the enemy planes that broke through at an ultra-low altitude, at a speed of more than 550 kilometers per hour, and at an altitude of less than 50 meters.

It still hovers in their minds, and even appears in their nightmares from time to time.

Lingering.

The enemy is strong.

Whether it's pilot technique, or aircraft performance.

This mission should not be careless.

"Let's go, gentlemen."

Ghana gave the order to depart.

···

Southern Hebei Base Area.

South of Ze County.

Koikeyama.

The origin of the name of Xiaochi Mountain is unknown, but it is one of the highest peaks in the southern Hebei base area, so in addition to the main force of a battalion stationed here, there is also a radar arranged on the top of the mountain.

Inside the reinforced concrete room at the top of Mt. Koike.

Yin Si's eyes were focused, and from time to time he swept the radar screen in front of him.

Yin Si has been in the army for about four years, not the old Red Army, but the new Red Army.

He only joined the army at the end of the thirty-sixth year, when he was 14 years old, followed the army through the last part of the Long March, and has been staying in northern Shaanxi to resist the big side. Responsible for security and logistics.

Because he has been following the army, although he has not gone to any serious school, his cultural level is still quite good.

After the formation of a radar unit in the unit, he took the initiative to sign up, and after examination, he successfully became a radar soldier, and after two months of training and study, he mastered the skills of radar operation.

"Incredible."

Looking at the radar screen in front of him, even if he knew the principle, Yin Si still felt unbelievable.

This machine can continue to detect and search for planes 100 kilometers away and at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, know the speed and direction of the aircraft, and continue to track it.

Glancing at the radar, Yin Si continued to read the book in his hand, during which he looked at the screen from time to time to remain vigilant.

Radar made Yin Si deeply realize his lack of knowledge.

At this moment,

A few dots on the screen caught Yin Si's attention.

···

Aerodrome.

Shen Sheng completed the training and warmed up every day and walked down from the Jianyi cabin.

Recently, according to the intelligence of the headquarters, the devil planned to launch an air raid on the base area, so he only carried out an hour of adaptive training to reserve his physical strength to deal with the devil's air raid.

"Fuck."

"Don't fool people, little devils."

Shen Sheng, who was not satisfied, scolded and scolded.

Thanks to his experience in the Iberian Peninsula, he flew a lot of planes, and the planes of the Germans, he also flown them.

But including the Y-5 and Y-6, there is no plane that can compare to the feeling that piloting the J-1 brings him.

More than 100 hours of actual aircraft flight made Shen Sheng deeply feel that only Jianyi can bring him the fun of driving, and this feeling of truly flying freely in the sky is what Shen Sheng really wants.

If it weren't for the little devils coming,

He also drives at least six hours a day.

The remaining six hours are spent training, and learning flying knowledge and theory.

As for the Jian-1 flight manual, he has long been overripe by the rolling melon.

Even, if it were not for the permission of his superiors, he would have been able to fly for an hour a day and then sleep for eight hours without being allowed to study and train in general.

Enough is enough.

It's a pity,

His superiors rejected his application on the grounds that he had exceeded his physical load.

"Report."

At this time, a staff officer ran over and reported to Shen Sheng:

"Radar station news, the devil plane was found."

"The number is seven, the speed is three hundred and fifty, the height is three thousand, the direction is 330, and the distance is one hundred and seventy kilometers."

"Your superiors order your first fighter group to attack immediately and shoot down all enemy planes."

"Yes."

After standing up and saluting.

"Haha..."

Shen Sheng couldn't help but laugh wildly:

"It's finally here!"

He waved his fists excitedly and expectantly, venting his inner excitement.

Although flying the Jian-1 fighter jet, skimming the volley of the base area, and overlooking the land of Taihang and Taiyue is an unparalleled enjoyment, piloting the plane of the Jian-Yi to shoot down the devil is his real dream.

"Ready to take off!"

Shen Sheng's voice was an octave higher.

Fighters are always ready for war, and the J-1 not only integrates the technology of the eighties, but also the logistics system, and it is also the level of the eighties, which is simplified a lot.

Five minutes later, the two Jian-1 fighters soared into the sky.

"Report."

"Fighter One has taken off."

Shen Sheng reported in the command channel.

The tone was full of confidence.

Although this was his first time fighting, Shen Sheng was absolutely sure of victory.

"Fighter No. 2 has taken off."

Shen Sheng's wingman reported synchronously.

At present, only Shen Sheng and his wingman, as well as five pilots, who can skillfully fly the Jian-1 fighter, are inexperienced and need further training before they can officially start flying fighter fights.

Of course

The main reason is:

Two are enough.

Thirty years of technology gap.

Even if the piston propeller technology is still used, there is no absolute generation difference, but it is not something that just seven old attack aircraft that the devil entered service in the late thirties can cope with.

"Enemy planes are 130 kilometers away from you."

In the channel, the battlefield command correspondent reported the location:

"Direction 320."

"Roger!"

The voice fell.

Rumble!

As soon as Shen Sheng pushed the accelerator, the two Jian-1 flew towards the devil plane at a speed of 650 kilometers per hour. (End of chapter)
