Chapter five hundred and eighty ninth: repairing the airport in ice and snow
Many times, a small problem that seems to be unintentional can cause people some huge troubles or even catastrophes.
The landing gear of the fighter jet was damaged, which was expected, so among the accessories, they also directly brought the landing gear. After a long time of busyness, the No. 2006 J-2, which had damaged the landing gear, finally returned to its original state.
But on the other hand, a new problem has emerged, the icing problem.
The winter in the Soviet Union was particularly cold. A cup of boiling water with hot smoke would turn into ice beads before it fell on the ground. You can imagine the temperature here? It is indeed very difficult to ensure the normal use of the fighter jets under this situation.
It’s okay to say about equipment, but it’s just a little bit more preheating, but the icing problem is the most difficult to deal with. Generally speaking, because the fighter jets are too fast, the rain and snow will be blown away instantly when they fall on the glass.
The same is true here, but I can't stand it for a long time, so I can't guarantee that there is a piece of snow stuck on it and not blown away, and then a large area of snow will follow.
This was indeed a big problem for them, but it was not a big problem. A ground staff member inadvertently made a wrong decision, but no one noticed this mistake, so the fighter was pulled outside the hangar for ground tests.
As a result, this wrong decision happened to be the most correct decision, because it was this decision that helped them solve this problem. The J-2, who had planned to stop training, could finally soar in the air again.
This is just a small episode among the many difficulties encountered by the J-WWII aircraft. The consequences are even more serious than this. As long as they are solved, it will be fine.
Delan Island.
"Did the Soviet Union still refuse to surrender?"
Su Dao asked softly.
"Well, the letter of persuasion we sent to surrender has not been answered, and they probably still have hope."
Wu Zhongguo nodded.
Listening to Wu Zhongguo's words, Su Dao fell into deep thought. Now the situation on the Soviet battlefield had undergone tremendous changes, and the North Army Group had no major war on the Soviet side.
But millions of people were still deeply trapped there and could not leave. Su Dao had to find a way to pull out these soldiers as soon as possible. Otherwise, the United States would pose a certain threat to him.
Originally, forced surrender was a good choice, but Stalin didn't seem to be taking this trick. He ignored the Chinese Empire and Germany's forced surrender, and even acted like a desperate attitude.
To be honest, after fighting for so many years, Su Dao was a little irritated. But he knew that the war was not over yet, and the war with the Soviet Union was over, and the United States had not yet begun.
The United States has its geographical advantages and no strong enemies are around it. It has created an environment where the United States can develop with peace of mind. If Su Dao wants to dominate the world, he must suppress the United States.
If the United States surrenders directly, although this can play a certain role, it will not gain much benefit to the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, Su Dao’s important task is to force the Soviet Union to surrender and then attack the United States. He must use war to completely destroy the United States. Whether it is facilities or economy, the United States must fall down completely and live within the rules of the Chinese Empire.
The modification of the nuclear bomb has reached the last critical moment, and several tests have been conducted, and the results are pretty good. It basically meets the demand.
The Soviet Union has been refusing to surrender now, which has also caused Su Dao's idea to begin to shake. Should he drop a nuclear bomb in the Soviet Union? To force them to surrender?
The secret weapon of nuclear bomb was originally intended to deal with the United States, or Su Dao planned to use nuclear bombs to threaten the United States, ask them to stop the research of the Manhattan Project, and hand over all the raw materials and researchers.
But empty words are untrue. Americans may not believe that Su Dao's words are true, which means that he must be in a place called actual combat. Only in this way can Americans believe his words and be worried about it.
But how should this plan be implemented? Take off from Saudi Arabia? No, this will expose the J-2 too early, so you have to pass over Turkey, then stay and replenish the supply on the Crimean Peninsula, and then fly to Moscow.
The distance on the way is too long, which is not conducive to concealment. However, if you pass by the Novosibirsk region, the straight-line distance alone is nearly 3,000 kilometers. The plane cannot fly over it, and even if it flies over, it cannot come back.
"Order the North Army Group to build a new airport here."
Immediately, Su Dao quickly made up his mind that he could no longer delay the Soviet Union. He had to resolve the Soviet affairs as soon as possible and then fight with the United States.
After the end, he must develop the domestic economy as soon as possible. Although the domestic economy is growing rapidly now, it depends on the needs of the army on the one hand, and it is a government order.
Once the war stops, it will lead to economic downturn, and many workers will face the embarrassing situation of layoffs, and the longer it delays, the more unfavorable it will be for future transformation.
Su Dao's finger pointed to the unmanned land about 300 kilometers west of Hantmansisk, west of the Ob River, where trees were lined with deserted, no railways passed by, and no one appeared.
It is a good idea to build an airport there, and there is no one there and no traffic, so there is no need to worry about the emergence of Soviet guerrillas, because they cannot appear there. Once they enter it, it is basically equivalent to seeking death.
"How can I get there? There is no road, and the equipment cannot be transported at all. What should I do if we have our supplies? It is very dangerous to build an airport behind enemy lines."
Wu Zhongguo looked at the place where Su Dao pointed his finger and frowned tightly.
"Airdrop! First airdrop over a brigade's airborne, and then the airborne troops will open up a simple airport. The transport plane can just land. At that time, transport the engineers and other equipment. If the equipment is too heavy, disassemble them and transport them separately. In short, within one month or one month, I will see that the airport here can be put into use."
Su Dao said directly.
It is indeed dangerous to build an airport behind enemy lines, but it also requires time and opponents. The Soviet Union had not had many troops in this area, and with a sparse population, the North Army Group would not look for those places to attack when attacking, because it was a waste of time and could not annihilate too many enemies.
So in the Soviet Union, they only needed to conquer some important towns. As for those small places, after the big cities fell, they naturally had to surrender.
With Su Dao's order, a reorganized airborne brigade boarded the transport plane and quietly set out behind the enemy on the night of the day, because this time it was not a battle, and there were not many enemies there.
Therefore, the most airborne brigade carried was not ammunition, but food. It reduced the amount of ammunition carried in half, brought food, tents, shovels, machetes, saw blades, ropes and other items, and airborne them in the area designated by Sudao.
The airborne mission was very smooth, and it could be said that it landed quietly on the ground. However, no accidents occurred. Because there were woods below, many airborne soldiers were hung on the trees. In desperation, they had to abandon the parachute.
Because it was airborne at night, and there was no accurate coordinate, everyone only knew a rough direction. If you lost your way in the woods, you might not be able to get out of it.
In fact, this is the case. Although everyone remembered the location of their comrades on the plane, after arriving on the ground, even experienced airborne soldiers could not guarantee that they would not lose their direction in this primeval forest.
After waiting for more than two hours, only half of the airborne troops of a brigade gathered, which made the brigade commander of the airborne brigade very anxious. It would be fine if he was a war. With such a safe airborne, there were so few people gathered.
In desperation, in this dark night sky, they used the signal flare for the first time. Fortunately, there were no one here, so no one saw the signal flare appear.
However, this made the airborne soldiers below breathe a sigh of relief. There were signal flares, which means that the troops were guiding them. With the direction, the speed of gathering was faster.
In this way, they spent a whole night and five signal flares to finally assemble all the troops.
Then, based on the map, we find a place suitable for building the airport. To be honest, in this deep mountains and forests, there are trees everywhere and uneven places everywhere, so it is still very difficult to build the airport.
In addition, there are basically thick ice on the ground, and even the land has become frozen soil, so it cannot be dug with a shovel. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to build an airport under such conditions?
After several replenishment times, it took a week for an airborne brigade and more than 10,000 people to build an airport in a fairly flat place. Because the ground is already very hard, you only need to level the uneven places.
But it took them a week to complete this work. Often, a small bale would take half a day, or even a day, and even a shovel would be damaged a lot.
A week later, the engineer troops began to appear here gradually. There were not many engineers here, only one battalion. For the construction of a small airport, one battalion was enough. Next, the Air Force kept transporting some steel and cement and other building items here.
