Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 130

The new fighter is still an epoch-making fighter.

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

It can be called a new fighter by the major general.

That's certainly not easy.

Is it to be tougher than their Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters?

Thinking of this, Gao Zhihang couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

This also reminded him of the past.

After the 918 incident, he had no way to serve the country, and he could only choose to go south to Jinling.

Became a pilot in the Aviation Department of Jinling Government.

Then the young marshal Zhang Xueming defeated the Japanese army and recaptured Jinzhou.

The new Northeast Air Force was also born at that time.

From that time on, he wanted to return to the northeast and return to his hometown.

It was also at that time that he resolutely resigned from all positions.

Embarked on an ethereal journey to the northeast.

And he was extremely glad for his decision.

When he returned, he was not only reused.

It also drove the most advanced fighter in the world.

That's the P-51D Mustang fighter.

When he saw this fighter at first sight, he was hooked on it.

It turns out that fighters can also be designed in this way.

It turns out that fighters can still be so elegant.

It's like a work of art.

When he drove it.

I also knew that the fighters of the Northeast Air Force were so advanced.

As a person who has studied abroad, he knows it very well.

This fighter is even far more advanced than that of Western powers.

Many technologies have not yet been mastered by the great powers.

It is precisely because he is too advanced that he is at a loss when he has just started training.

So in addition to his normal cultural classes, he also studied on his own.

At the same time start doubling down on training, crazy training.

During that time, there was nothing else to do except train, eat, and sleep.

And he finally caught up with the training progress of the other pilots.

At that time, the battle to regain the northeast was coincided.

He finally became a 413 ace pilot.

With the expansion of the Air Force, he was also successfully promoted to colonel and co-captain.

"Buzz..."

The sound of the motor starting woke him up.

Looking at the slowly opening iron gate, everyone's hearts were anxious.

I can't wait to pick it up with my hands.

However, looking at the gate with a height of almost 6 meters, they abandoned the idea.

With the opening of the gate.

The new fighters parked inside also revealed the true face of Lushan like a pipa half-covered.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on the army green camouflage painted fighter.

No one in the whole body found a propeller to propel the fighter forward.

Only one intake was seen under the belly.

On the wings hung two things that looked like engines.

No, this should be its engine, an engine they have never seen before.

This engine does not have a propeller.

Or that's where the secret of the rear admiral called it an epoch-making fighter.

When everyone walked into the hangar under the lead of the major general.

Everyone directly surrounded this fighter.

Two eyes constantly scanned its body.

The eyes were full of surprise.

The major general never stopped looking at their expressions, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Okay, it's almost the same, do you have anything you want to say or ask?"

"Yes!"

Gao Zhihang took the lead in standing up.

"Reporter, these two engines are its secret, right?"

The major general looked at him appreciatively.

"That's right, that's its biggest secret. Axial jet engine. "

Jet engines?

They still have to hear the term for the first time.

After all, although the jet engines of this era have already been patented, research and development has begun. (cjea)

But this novelty did not attract any attention.

After all, the air-cooled/liquid-cooled piston engines have not yet played to understand, how it is possible to play with jet engines.

Seeing the doubts in their eyes, the major general did not explain much.

In the following cultural class, they will learn about it.

"The two jet engines alone have more than 1,200 horsepower, and the two have a combined thrust of more than 2,400 horsepower.

At the same time, based on the characteristics of jet engines.

It can drive this fighter to subsonic flight at a maximum speed of 870 kilometers per hour. "

After hearing this number.

It immediately caused a sensation in the crowd.

Maximum speed of 870 km/h.

That's a hundred kilometers per hour faster than their Mustang fighters.

700 km is enough shocking.

Not to mention 870 km.

In air combat, speed is life.

As long as the technology is good, it can basically make it invincible.

"In addition to speed, its biggest advantages are its strong climbing ability and diving ability.

Our Mustang fighter climbs at 16 meters per second, while it is capable of reaching 20 meters per second. "

In addition to the speed performance indicators of the warplane, it is very important.

The rate of climb and dive ability are also extremely important.

In World War II, this era without missiles.

If in the case of occupying height, speed advantages.

Then the side with a stronger rate of climb and dive ability.

Basically all have overwhelming air superiority.

Don't look at it, compared to the Mustang, it only increases the climb rate by 4 meters per second.

This improvement is actually quite large.

Able to easily throw off Mustang fighters during climbs.

After hearing that this fighter is so powerful.

All the pilots began to move. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

I can't wait to take to the skies now.

But that's not possible.

Jet fighters are somewhat different from propeller aircraft, more difficult to operate and more equipment.

And also to update tactical training.

Therefore, if you do not study for two or three months, you will not have combat capability.

Unless it's like Maozi.

Only the most basic flight training is carried out, and then they are sent to the battlefield to train.

To put it mildly, it is to raise cheats and cannon fodder.

These two or three months are still for these ace pilots.

If ordinary pilots are trained from scratch.

If you want to fly a jet fighter, then it will take at least a year or so.

Ground training and biplane trainers alone take about three months.

Then there's the flight of monoplane trainers, which take about two or three months here.

Then there's the jets, and it's going to take another three or four months.

Even if the training is optimized.

Train a qualified jet pilot.

It also takes at least six months.

Training sufficient pilot reserves is also one of the main tasks of the Air Force.

At present, the Air Force has opened two flight academies to train air force pilots and naval aviation pilots.

At the same time, the establishment of aviation clubs is supported by the private sector.

In fact, the number of reserve pilots in the northeast is not very small now.

Even stronger than many countries.

Soon, the major general personally piloted the ME262 in the hangar for an aerial flight show.

With the start of the engine.

Two Jumo-004 gas engines under the wing roared.

Tail flames erupted from the nozzles.

As soon as the brakes were released, the jet jet glided down the runway.

When the speed exceeds two hundred kilometers per hour.

This advanced jet fighter took to the skies.

Compared with the Mustang, the climb rate of the ME262 fighter can be felt with the naked eye.

When climbed to a certain height.

So he maneuvered it to dive.

And at this time, the speed also exceeded 800 kilometers per hour.

The roar of this jet fighter also resounded in the air.

This was followed by a regular tactical maneuver.

It flies more silky than the Mustang fighter.

This also drew applause from the pilots below.

They are also looking forward to the days of training in the future.

The pilots were pleased with the fighter.

But Zhang Xueming was not very satisfied.

It's one thing to like it, it's another to be dissatisfied.

Mainly because its engine life is too short.

Basically, the engine has to be renovated once in a few days of flying, and the frequency of replacement is also very frequent.

There is also a high failure rate.

All kinds of problems can make the ground staff pull their hair out.

So Zhang Xueming also issued an order to the Jet Propulsion Research Institute.

Cooperate with Huaxia Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

This Jumo-004 gas engine has been optimized and improved.

It is mainly to increase life and reliability.

The Air Force is intensively training jet pilots.

Zhang Xueming, on the other hand, came to the Armored Vehicle Research Institute in Shenyang New City.

The Armored Vehicles Research Institute is actually a place specializing in the research, design and testing of complete vehicles and components of tanks and armored vehicles.

Zhang Xueming came here to investigate this time, mainly because of two things.

The first thing was that the drawings of the tank specially designed for Germany came out.

With next year after the mustache comes to power.

He began to aggressively develop the economy and expand his armaments.

For advanced tanks, they are very eager.

This is a big arms market.

The tank designed by the Institute of Armored Vehicles was taken to Germany to compete with Porsche, Henschel, Mercedes, and Krupp.

This can be seen from the names of these companies.

If you want to compete with them, you have to come up with something.

The design drawings of this tank taken out by the Armored Vehicle Research Institute can see many shadows of the No. 3 tank.

Even in terms of performance, it is similar to the No. 3 tank.

For example, the engine of the tank still uses the original Maybach HL120TRM gasoline engine, with a power of 265 horsepower.

The total combat weight was 17 tons, and the tank gun used a 50 mm long-barreled tank gun.

The maximum speed can reach 40 km/h.

However, it is different from the No. 3 tank.

That is the suspension system and the load wheels.

It adopts the design of Christie suspension system and independent large load wheels.

The best benefit of this is to reduce production costs and production time.

It is more suitable for high-volume production.

For this tank number three.

Mainly used as a stepping stone for the German military market.

Zhang Xueming did not plan to make much money on this.

The improved tank No. 4 and the subsequent heavy tank are the real big heads.

Compared to the No. 3 tank, Zhang Xueming is more interested in their other project.

The full name of this project is tracked infantry combat vehicles.
