This year's winter in Shanxi has been extremely cold. By early December, the entire Liantai County was covered with thick ice and snow.
Due to the unexpectedly cold weather, the entire Shanxi province experienced a rare calm. Whether it was the Japanese Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, or even various armed forces from all over the country, they all stopped their hostilities. For a time, the entire Shanxi Province fell into a rare tranquility.
"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."
There was a roar like a sewing machine in the sky. Along with the roar, more than ten black spots flew from the sky in the distance. After getting closer, they found that they were more than twenty small biplanes.
These planes are painted in black and stand out against the snow-white ground.
When these planes arrived at the airport, the people waiting for them at the airport could see the planes clearly. Nearly a hundred students who had not gone to the sky stood on the lawn nearby and looked at the fleet of planes in the sky. They were all excited.
Jumping around and shouting loudly, many people even lost their voices.
"Oh my God, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have thought I was crazy. A group of rookies who only had an elementary school education and had never systematically studied theoretical knowledge took just over a month to fly a plane into the sky, and they also formed a group
A medium-sized flying formation, although this formation looks like a flock of frightened birds."
The person who said this was none other than Harada Akihisa, the instructor of the flying brigade.
After this former Japanese pilot was captured, he didn't know what methods Ihara Heihachi used against him. In just over a month, he decisively joined the Japanese National Defense Army and devoted his life to Gao Hongming's behalf.
Originally, in the study plan drawn up by him and Huang Huaimin, it was intended that the students would first conduct three months of theoretical study before considering flying a plane to heaven. However, after Gao Hongming learned about it, he raised objections and only gave the students
One month of theoretical study time.
Huang Huaimin and Harada Akihisa quit immediately, and bluntly said that Gao Hongming's actions would send these students to hell. However, Gao Hongming's attitude was very firm and he told them very directly that this was an order. Huang Huaimin was so angry that he almost resigned on the spot.
However, when Gao Hongming took the two of them to a row of neatly arranged planes next to the airport runway, their eyes almost bulged.
Seeing the stunned looks of the two people, Gao Hongming said to them: "Brother Huaimin, Harada-kun, this is why I dare to propose that students only have one month of theoretical study. Please allow me to introduce to you the new wave."
2-Junior trainer aircraft.”
Then, Gao Hongming began to introduce them to the two of them.
This is an aircraft that was born in the 1920s, and the Soviets used it to train their pilots.
The biggest feature of this aircraft is that it flies slowly. How slow can it be?
Let's put it this way, it can take off when it reaches a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, its maximum speed is 150 kilometers per hour, and its cruising speed is only 110 kilometers per hour. At such a speed, even cars on the highway are faster than it, and its maximum range is only
400 kilometers, the ceiling is only 3820 meters.
Many people sneered at its performance when they first saw it, but these people did not expect that it is precisely because of this seemingly "junk" performance that it is the best junior trainer aircraft.
The advantage of this trainer aircraft is that it allows ordinary people who have never been exposed to airplanes to complete the transformation from ordinary people to pilots as quickly as possible, and the biggest advantage of Wave 2 does not end there; its biggest advantage is that this kind of aircraft
It's almost hard to get stuck in a spiral.
Let's put it this way, if you ask a pilot what he fears most, almost everyone will say one term in unison...stall spiral.
What is a spiral? A spiral refers to a sharp rolling and deflecting motion that occurs after the aircraft stalls. With the rolling and deflection, the aircraft nose points downward, and at the same time, it moves around a vertical axis in the air along a very small and steep radius.
A flight state with a sharp downward spiral.
Once the plane enters a spin, it is difficult for even the most experienced pilots to get out of it. If they do not parachute in time, the only thing waiting for the pilot is a crash and death.
The most amazing thing about the Wave 2 aircraft is that this aircraft almost never enters a spin state.
Yes, it is so magical. In the words of countless pilots who have flown it in later generations, when you drive Wave 2, once a spiral occurs, you only need to lift your two feet off the rudder and act like a woman at the same time.
Cover your eyes with both hands and scream loudly, and the plane will automatically help you return to normal.
Yes, those pilots didn't lie to you, this aircraft is so amazing.
The slow speed of the Wave 2 aircraft also means that its safety performance is much higher than that of other aircraft. Even if the engine stops in mid-air, it can glide in the air with its excellent starting performance, and at the same time, it can glide in the air at several times per hour.
The speed of ten kilometers slowly dropped.
In another time and space, the Soviets relied on this trainer aircraft to train countless farmers who had just put down their hoes and shotguns into the most elite pilots.
Today, the reason why Gao Hongming has the confidence to let a rookie who has only learned theoretical knowledge for a month fly into the sky is because of this training aircraft.
Of course, his words were unfounded, so Gao Hongming asked Harada Akihisa and Huang Huaimin to test drive the aircraft to the sky. An hour later, when the two got off the plane, Huang Huaimin said with a complex expression: "Tuanzi, I
I take back what I just said, even if my ladies can fly this aircraft, there will probably be no problem."
Harada Akihisa also exclaimed: "Sir, I have to say that this aircraft is so... so safe. I just tried to shut down the engine in mid-air, and then raised both hands and feet. This aircraft actually
It's so amazing that I can still glide smoothly in the air on my own.
It seems you are right, you can indeed let those rookies try to fly it into the sky."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Subsequently, after more than half a month of short training, more than 130 student pilots successfully completed the transformation from being idiots in Huang Huaimin's words to being able to initially fly aircraft into the sky.
The...rookie
On the ground, looking at the chaotic fleet of aircraft in the sky, Huang Huaimin frowned and said with some displeasure: "These bastards are so shameless. They can't even form a flight formation with such stupid aircraft. Wait.
We'll see how I deal with them when they come down."
Harada Akihisa seemed much more tolerant, "I think you are too harsh on them, sir. These students have done a very good job. You must know that more than a month ago they were a group of ordinary people who had never even seen an airplane. Now,
We are now able to fly the aircraft into the sky and complete the preliminary formation.
Moreover, this is a medium-sized fleet of twenty-six aircraft. In the Japanese Army Aviation Force, pilots who can complete this subject need to study in the aviation school system for at least two years. We cannot be harsh anymore."
Huang Huaimin sighed softly, took out a box of Camel cigarettes from his arms, and handed one to Harada Akihisa. Harada Akihisa quickly took the cigarettes with both hands to express his gratitude, and then quickly took out a ZIP lighter from his pocket and lit it for Huang Huaimin.
Then he lit his own.
After taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Huang Huaimin thought for a while and asked: "Harada-kun, how long do you think it will take for these rookies to fly real fighter jets?"
Hearing this question, Harada Akihisa's face became solemn. After pondering for a long time, he said: "This problem is difficult to estimate. I estimate that the students will need at least a month to become familiar with the Wave 2 junior trainer aircraft, and then use it for two to
It took three months to learn the AT-6 trainer aircraft, and finally it took several months to learn the fighter jet.
You know, real fighter jets are not as docile as Wave 2s. They are guys who can reach speeds of 500 to 600 kilometers per hour and have explosive tempers. If they are not careful, their aircraft will be destroyed and people will be killed."
"yes……"
Huang Huaimin also frowned. The time given by Gao Hongming was really too tight. According to the normal process, it takes at least two to three years for a student to transform from an ordinary person to a qualified pilot, but Gao Hongming only gave him half a year.
, this time is too short.
However, Huang Huaimin can also understand Gao Hongming's mood. The war between China and Xia is now in full swing, with battles happening every day. The infantry on the front line are in extremely urgent need of air support. How can Gao Hongming have such a long time to wait for the pilots to grow up?
, can only use this quick method.
However, Huang Huaimin knew very well that the price of the quick fix was that many pilots would not be able to adapt to the fierce battles in time and shed their blood in the sky.
Thinking of the excitement, Huang Huaimin couldn't help but sing.
"The ambition is high, the ambition is high, a good man serves the country today
Aspirations to the sky, ambitions to the sky, a good man serving the country today
Soaring with iron wings, the mountains and rivers are moving, sweeping away the clouds and smoke, the sun and the moon are shaking
Soaring with iron wings, the mountains and rivers are moving, sweeping away the clouds and smoke, the sun and the moon are shaking."
When this cheerful and exciting Air Force military song sounded, the trainees on the lawn also sang along and sang louder and louder, and soon it resounded throughout the entire airport.
Looking at Huang Huaimin and the students singing military songs side by side, Harada Akihisa also felt quite complicated.
As a Japanese pilot, it would be weird if he didn't have any thoughts when he saw such a scene. However, since he fell into the hands of Uehara Yoji, this guy not only beat him every day, but even forced him to
He spat on the emperor's portrait and wrote a letter of repentance against the emperor and the Japanese government.
After doing all this, Harada Akihisa knew that he was finished. He had no other way out except following Gao Hongming all the way. If this letter of repentance fell into the hands of the Japanese government, let alone him.
All his family members will die without a burial place.
Just when Harada Akihisa was thinking wildly, the roar in the sky became louder and louder. It turned out that the students began to return. Seeing a Jiabo 2 trainer aircraft staggering towards the runway, Harada Akihisa
My heart started to get nervous again.
Huang Huaimin on the side didn't know when he grabbed the microphone and started to curse...
