Chapter 250 Taking off
Excluding everyone, Zhang Sixing secretly conducted a weapons test.
He was very satisfied with the results of the experiment, especially the performance of these newly manufactured azure eagle wings.
Who would have thought that the sliding delta wing used as a tourist item in the past could easily carry 200 kilograms in flight.
Who would have thought that after installing a motorcycle engine, it could actually carry a load of 300 kilograms.
Who would have thought that the delta wing towed by a bomber for takeoff can carry a load of 500 kilograms.
In principle, as long as the frame and fabric are strong enough, the delta wing can carry up to one ton of cargo and fly.
This is just childish. Maozi dared to drag a light armored vehicle to the ground with three parachutes.
Now that the delta wing is ready, the pilots are ready, and the bombs are ready, all that remains is the target provided by the front and the specific actions.
"Papa...papa..."
The recoil hit Li Yinbao on the shoulder. He never expected that when he really used his side weapon, it would be a box cannon.
As a pilot, I am naturally not interested in ground equipment.
That's not entirely true, he is wearing a new set of equipment. Although it is not a pilot's equipment, it is really cool.
The semi-rigid combat vest is said to be impenetrable by bayonets, and the knuckles integrated into the gloves are said to be able to knock out half of the opponent's teeth with one punch. There is a thermal water bag on the back, which is said to be able to keep the temperature of the tea.
Especially the face armor and the big glasses can completely withstand the cold weather in November. In addition, Zhang Sixing asked someone to make clothes, and even one person was given a set.
Made of silk and filled with duck down, they, the Cantonese people, said goodbye to the southern winter.
"Papa...papa..."
As a pilot, his eyesight is excellent, but his marksmanship...
"Hey, you hit me again..."
Next to him, Chennault shouted angrily at Li Yinbao. He was also practicing flying with box cannons. There was no way that China didn't have so many submachine guns.
Just when the two of them were staring at each other because of the language barrier, Jiang Qiyan's voice suddenly came from the temporary command force formed for the battle.
"Gather, our goal is determined."
These words made all the pilots practicing gunnery jump in their hearts:
This time the army was so fast and the target was so determined.
The pilots had relaxed and contented expressions on their faces, and they squeezed into the tent together with serious expressions. However, immediately there were guards led by the parachute commander Lu Feizhang who were on strict alert.
There was a lamp lit in the tent in broad daylight. I put my arms on the table and looked at the pilots gathered around the table.
"We are about to take off. If anyone wants to quit, now is the last chance."
It was deathly quiet in the tent. As recorded in history, the pilots of this era regarded death as a matter of course.
"The Japanese army approached the Xicheng Line, and we contacted the army in front. The enemy was gathering troops outside the Xicheng Line, so this was a good opportunity to attack the enemy. Because it was the first operation, we acted as a group."
"We only have four walkie-talkies, so we can only have a team of five people. We flew about 116 kilometers, which is a test of your skills. The radio is silent the whole time. We fly over, drop the bomb, and come back. Is there any problem?"
Therefore, people try their best to hide their worries in their hearts. In fact, everyone will feel trembling in their hearts when they go to the battlefield.
"It's very simple, isn't it? Sir, I still want to bring my revolver."
As if to break the dull atmosphere in the tent, Li Yinbao spoke.
"No, every gram of weight has been calculated. In order to load more bombs, you can't even carry the landing gear."
"Let him bring it. Anyway, no matter what gun this guy carries, he will shoot bullets in other people's targets."
Shrugging, Chennault made a casual joke, then looked at the pilots around him with gray eyes,
"Now it's our turn, brothers, let's give them a good beating."
"Beat them."
"Yes, it's time to look at our Thirteenth Brigade."
The pilots talked enthusiastically, and Zhang Sixing, Jiang Qiyan, and Chennault exchanged glances. They all understood that such catharsis would be beneficial to the subsequent mission.
Zhang Sixing's eyes fell on Jiang Qiyan, who cleared his throat.
"No one is allowed to die with the enemy. Even if anyone is injured, he must try to fly to the navigation light. Do you understand? Even if you are disabled, you will die in class in the future. Do you understand?"
China has no captured air force.
It was indeed a heroic feat, but it was also a helpless act.
Half of the tragedies of the heroic soldiers on the anti-Japanese battlefield can be avoided. As long as the Chairman of the Generalissimo is determined to kill a few more high-level dog-officials.
Looking at these young people who can be said to be the best in this era, Zhang Sixing nodded lightly,
"We'll see you in the sky and leave the camp in batches."
The pilots left their tents and left the base one by one, riding on motorcycles, cars, or even horses, leaving the base in twos and threes.
Their target was another airport built by Zhang Sixing's "punishment camp", dozens of miles away from the original airport, and completely guarded by Zhang Sixing's soldiers.
The necessary precautions here are that the entire government, from civilians to the military, from localities to high-level officials, has been penetrated by Japanese spies like a fishing net.
Just like in the punishment camp, there was a shop selling Japanese goods. The boss wholesaled the goods from the Japanese in the concession, and then shipped them to Jurong for sale. When the country boycotted Japanese goods because of the September 18th Incident, this businessman deeply felt
crisis.
In order to continue his business and even get discounts from the Japanese, he began to provide all kinds of information to the Japanese.
And the most ridiculous thing is that when these scumbag businessmen expose each other, each one is more ruthless than the other.
Then all these businessmen were shot by machine guns, and all the adults in the family were sent to punishment camps.
Temporary airport, at night, some flashlights were flying on the grass like fireflies. A D1A/94 dive bomber had started, and the engine made a rumbling sound.
On the rope behind the bomber, there was a long string of delta wings ready to take off.
As the bomber began to roll under the traction of the propeller, a truck in front of it also started to rumble.
This is very helpless. Maybe the bomber can pull twenty delta wings while it is in the sky, but it cannot pull them up during the taxiing stage. It can even not fly itself during the experiment.
As the bomber taxied and accelerated, the speed of the car dragging the delta wing became faster and faster.
The delta wing leaves the ground, and the triangular frame with wheels under the cockpit remains on the ground. The delta wing seems to line up like migrating geese.
The bomber took off, and the leader Zhang Sixing cut the rope connected to the car, and all traction was provided by the aircraft.
The bomber, which was rolling high and not very high, became heavy and, despite the full power of its engines, the bomber began to fall downwards.
In order to tow this delta-wing group to take off, the D1A/Type 94 dive bombers not only did not carry bombs, they did not even load machine gun bullets.
