Therefore, Wang Xuexin was puzzled when he saw the list submitted by Li Yueying.
The list was sent personally by Li Yueying, with the names of the ten pilots, as well as the aircraft number, location, etc.
Wang Xuexin took the list and saw that Li Dongcheng and Zhou Yuankai's names did not include Li Yueying, so he glanced at Li Yueying doubtfully and asked: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Li Yueying replied firmly: "Both of them are excellent enough to fly Hawker 81 to perform missions. I can't stop any of them."
Wang Xuexin nodded. This result was good. He was still thinking about how to explain to his superiors, so he saved the effort now.
After a pause, Li Yueying looked at Wang Xuexin and added: "In addition, I think you are right. Each of us has our own position. My position may be to teach more Chinese pilots to fly into the blue sky and fight with the enemy.
Fighting is also about avenging them, isn't it?"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin felt very pleased that Li Yueying finally understood this truth.
Li Yueying nodded gratefully to Wang Xuexin and said, "Thank you, Battalion Commander Wang, I have learned a lot from you!"
After speaking, Li Yueying stood up and saluted Wang Xuexin, then turned and left.
Looking at Li Yueying's back, Wang Xuexin sighed inwardly. Such an excellent pilot would eventually die in a plane crash at the airport... This is also a trick of fate.
But then I thought about it, if Li Yueying had changed her direction to teaching instead of flying airplanes, could this accident have been avoided?
From this perspective, this incident is actually a good thing.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, a rapid whistle sounded at Wanxian Airport.
The pilots got up from the bed one by one and ran out of the lounge in formation at the urging of Major Doug.
Wang Xuexin was waiting at the airport. Major Doug led his team and saluted Wang Xuexin. After getting Wang Xuexin's permission and giving an order, the pilots ran to the aircraft that had been towed to the airport for maintenance.
The sound of motors soon started to sound, and the planes drove to their respective runways under the guidance of the signal lights in an elephant-walking manner. Then the signal flag was waved, and the fighter planes flew into the sky one after another.
.
Wang Xuexin was more concerned about No. 008 and No. 009, because these two fighters were flown by Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng... After all, it was the first time for practical operations, and Wang Xuexin was not very confident in them.
But then Wang Xuexin realized that his worries were unnecessary.
The two fighter planes 008 and 009 took off very smoothly, especially the one piloted by Zhou Yuankai, who could not tell that he was a novice at all. The 009 piloted by Li Dongcheng shook its wings twice when it took off, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and caught up with the team.
Li Yueying seemed to see through Wang Xuexin's thoughts and said from the side: "Don't worry, they can complete the mission! This mission... it should be said that taking off is the most difficult!"
Wang Xuexin said "hmm" and replied: "I hope so!"
Wang Xuexin understood what Li Yueying meant.
When bombers perform missions, the most difficult and dangerous ones are actually heavy bombers.
The reason is that heavy bombers contact the enemy at high altitude and must fly over the target before they can carry out bombing.
If you want to hit the target and complete the mission, you need a specialized bombardier to constantly calculate the speed, altitude and relative position of the aircraft to the target, and then use the shooting table to grasp the time to release the bomb, one minute earlier or one minute later, that is
"The slightest error can lead to a thousand miles of error."
Because it approaches the target almost in a straight line and even maintains a high altitude, it often becomes an excellent target for enemy anti-aircraft guns. In addition, it also has to face interception by enemy fighter planes, etc.
Of course, if, like Yingjiang, a high-altitude bomber is developed that prevents enemy anti-aircraft guns and even fighter planes from flying to such heights... then that's a different story.
The simpler one is the bombing by dive bombers.
The bombing principle of a dive bomber is actually very simple, that is, press the nose of the aircraft towards the target to be bombed, and drop the bomb when it is close enough to the target. At this time, the bomb will go straight to the target along the dive direction of the aircraft due to inertia... This is World War II
A common bombing method during the period, especially naval warfare, because of its high accuracy.
This method can be operated by the pilot alone without the need for a bombardier.
However, since this method of bombing requires diving towards the target and getting close enough, it will inevitably be subject to intensive fire from anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. The degree of danger can be imagined.
The simplest and safest bombing method is the long-distance bombing with rockets proposed by Wang Xuexin.
To be precise, this was not proposed by Wang Xuexin, but the Mao Xiong style of play. However, Wang Xuexin took the lead before Mao Xiong became popular.
There is no need to explain why this method is simple and safe.
It is a battle outside the range of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. The aircraft does not need to fly over the target, and it shoots and leaves just like a rocket launcher... In fact, it cannot be said to be "like", it is itself, just flying in the air.
rocket launcher.
Because the plane is fast and the rockets are launched quickly, the enemy does not even have time to send out planes to intercept it after discovering it.
So there is no doubt that this method is the safest.
All the pilot has to do is to maintain altitude and launch the rocket... There is no need to maneuver to escape or dive to pull up. All that is needed is to press a button to energize the rocket.
Therefore, it is possible for Li Dongcheng and Zhou Yuankai to directly carry out missions without ever actually operating an airplane.
Otherwise, if it is a dive bombing, they will not be able to complete the two actions of just diving and climbing up.
This is also the main reason why the furry bear pilots can climb onto the plane and join the battle after only a few weeks of training... The unique attack method of the furry bear makes it possible for novices who have just learned to fly an airplane to explode with powerful combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Inflict great damage to the enemy.
Otherwise, these novices will only be targets for Hans's ace pilot.
However, although this is the case in theory, Wang Xuexin is not sure whether there will be any surprises in reality on the battlefield.
Wang Xuexin did not dare to neglect, and immediately rushed to the airport control room with Li Yueying... There was a radio in the control room to contact Major Doug.
As soon as Wang Xuexin and the two entered the control room, Principal Tang said anxiously: "We have reached position one, but the situation is not good. Major Doug reported that traces of enemy reconnaissance planes were found. Our fighter planes are likely to be exposed in advance!"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. The Japanese reconnaissance plane would actually be dispatched so early?
Was it found near the airport or on the road?
If the reconnaissance plane had been near the airport, wouldn't the Japanese have been prepared?
