If my machine tools, blueprints, and doctors weren't all on board, why would I use such things and plan such a troublesome attack?
A few days later in the afternoon, Zhang Sixing, who had completed training, began to plan an action plan with the pilots, including Chennault.
"You can't fly through it with those delta wings."
Chennault has always been not optimistic about Zhang Sixing's so-called air raid. This delta wing may be used as a kind of sports equipment and can be used in combat...
This is not to blame Chennault, because apart from the actions of the German Paratroopers during the Spanish Civil War led by Zhang Sixing, there is no decent special operations in the world.
Therefore, the silent air raid was not known to the officers, especially the air force officers.
"The Japanese would think so too."
As soon as Chennault said something, Zhang Sixing kicked the ball back, and it landed squarely on his face. He was immediately bruised and swollen.
Unlike Chennault, the soldiers were very interested in the simple delta wing they were driving that could throw a hundred grenades on the ground.
As for how to throw the grenades and what content they contained, they didn't know. But Zhang Sixing said that one hundred grenades could be thrown, and the team leader Jiang Qiyan did the math casually.
If one grenade covers ten square meters, one hundred grenades will cover one thousand square meters, and twenty grenades will cover twenty thousand square meters.
Especially when thrown with a delta wing, the height is not high and the speed is not fast. If it is really thrown to a place where the Japanese are concentrated...
At this time, there are almost no fighter planes, and most of them still need to defend Jinling. Being able to conduct such an air strike will not only disrupt the Japanese army's offensive deployment, but also let the Japanese know that the Chinese Air Force is still capable of fighting.
"Principal Zhang, please continue. As long as you have a chance to fight against the Japanese, you can do whatever you want, even if you never come back."
Compared with other forces, the fighting spirit of the Chinese Air Force during the Anti-Japanese War was definitely second to none. And the heroic behavior of preferring to fight to the death rather than surrender made almost no pilots of this generation survive.
However, this is a group of second generations. There are both rich second generations and official second generations. They are really the group of heroes among the second generation.
"When flying over, we were towed by fighter planes and took off. Then the plane separated and returned twenty kilometers away from the target, giving the Japanese army a false impression. Then we relied on the height difference to continue flying towards the target. We turned off the flames at a distance of five kilometers, and then quickly and silently attacked
, when it passes the target, it relies on the power generated by the propeller facing the wind to restart the engine and quickly move away from the target, and then fly all the way back."
At this point, everyone knows that what Zhang Sixing said is definitely not child's play, and it is also very likely to be successful.
Flying at night is not difficult. After all, we are on the Yangtze River, and we are using a delta wing. If we just keep an eye on the Yangtze River and fly, we can fly close to the target.
But when we get close, how to find the target? We need guidance from the ground.
"Brigade Chiang, are you conducting a night attack on Japanese ground troops?"
Faced with Zhang Sixing's inquiry, Jiang Qiyan shook his head. You must know that this was before the start of World War II. Without radar, flying at night and whether to hit the mountain had to rely on luck.
Fortunately, they are located in the south of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River Delta is a large plain area where you can't even find a mountain.
"But on our own, especially with the power of the motorcycle engine, it is possible to fly back..."
Compared with the Chinese pilots' thoughts of fighting to the death, Chennault had more considerations.
As an American, he likes adventure and expects this operation to be the most thrilling adventure in his life. However, he hopes that Zhang Sixing can make more preparations for the situation when he returns.
The motorcycle engine can provide weak power in case of headwind.
"It's okay. If it falls with one of our own people, it can come back no matter what. Even if it falls into the hands of the Japanese, I still have the revolver."
The speaker was Li Yinbao, who not only liked airplanes first, but also liked revolvers second. He even followed Hansen and learned how the cowboys played with revolvers.
But this guy's marksmanship was so bad that Zhang Sixing was often worried that this guy would hit him.
"You, forget it, your marksmanship..."
Facing Chennault's disdain, Li Yinbao pressed the revolver with his hand, as if he wanted to duel with him.
"Silver Tiger"
Jiang Qiyan suppressed Li Yinhu's anger, and then looked at Zhang Sixing.
Zhang Sixing had already anticipated this. How could he, who was good at planning special attacks, fail to arrange an escape route?
Special operations involve risks all the time, but in the tactical planning of special operations, all risks need to be avoided or resolved. If not, wouldn't special operations become special suicide attempts?
"It doesn't matter. If we encounter a headwind, that is to say a northerly wind, we will play a game of aerial solitaire. The towed fighter plane does not carry bombs, only fuel. When necessary, the towing rope is thrown from the aircraft, and we only need to pull the rope
Fixed on the delta wing..."
Seeing Zhang Sixing taking it for granted, Chennault sighed,
"My God, this is basically an aerial circus trick. Throw a rope and we grab it and fix it on our own delta wing. Of course we have to string it together. Then the last person..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm the last one to connect. I think if we're lucky, we can carry out attacks for several nights in a row. As long as the Japanese don't expect to understand where they were bombed, then the first attack will be a victory."
Having said this, all the pilots became a little excited.
Yes, what would happen if a grenade suddenly exploded around you at night? Of course, you would look at the darkness around you to find the attacker. Especially when there is no moonlight, it is difficult to figure out where this silent bombing comes from.
This is like the silent snipers that are everywhere on the battlefield. Who can easily find a sniper using a silencer on a battlefield with loud gunshots?
"The silent bombing is really a masterpiece of genius, and since we can't use airplanes, we can only use delta wings. Even if we don't have airplanes, we can still deal with the little devils."
Jiang Qiyan couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard Zhang Sixing's overall plan. Ordinary people might not be able to figure out the silent bombing.
"Actually, even if there is moonlight, as long as the angle is not right, it may be difficult to tell that it is the eagle pulling daddy in the sky."
"What about the ammunition? Principal Zhang, I think those helmet mines are pretty good. Should we throw some of those things down?"
Zhang Sixing smiled mysteriously at this,
"Don't worry, everyone, I guarantee that the things I ask you to throw down will definitely surprise the Japanese."
Listening to his confident words, Chennault suddenly felt that maybe the "bomb" Zhang Sixing asked them to hang was not that simple.
