Fengxian Jiangshan

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's question, Chen Jiliang also hurriedly said: "The vice president is indeed an expert. The only problem with Type 14 is that the range is too short. It has just reached 1000 kilometers, and the combat radius is only about 300 kilometers."

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly. He was not satisfied with the distance, but as a newly formed aircraft carrier fleet, it was not easy, so he couldn't be harsh.

Chen Jiliang took Zhang Tinglan to the front of another plane. Compared with the Type 14 fighter jet, this plane was a little bigger, and it adopted a novel lower-wing layout, which immediately caught people's attention.

Chen Jiliang said very proudly: "Vice President, this is a big treasure on our aircraft carrier. It is a carrier-based dive bomber made by Wang Zhu Design Bureau. It adopts an all-metal semi-monocoque structure and has excellent dive attack performance. Against ordinary warships, it can be called a killer weapon!"

Due to the low bombing height and high accuracy of the dive bomber, it is fatal to small and medium-sized warships that are like a drop in the ocean, and even poses a huge threat to aircraft carriers and battleships.

In history, the Americans equipped the first carrier-based dive bomber in 25 years, and now China has also produced the same type of product, and judging by Chen Jiliang's triumphant expression, it is obvious that this aircraft is quite successful, and Zhang Tinglan is also very happy.

Yang Yuting also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, let's practice it, so we can see how good it is."

Chapter 768 The Nanyang Riot

For this ceremony of becoming an army, the navy has also worked hard. Shen Honglie is very clear that Zhang Tinglan is a firm aircraft carrier faction, but the development of the navy is a project that burns money after all. If you don't show your real skills, it will be difficult to persuade the cabinet to invest money. .

Everyone knows very well that Wang Yongjiang, the prime minister, is much stronger than Tang Shaoyi. If Zhang Tinglan doesn't have enough reasons, don't even think about Wang Yongjiang.Therefore, the whole navy has made great efforts and must show its skills today.

Chen Jiliang personally called the pilot Wang Weiguo over, and said to him solemnly: "Raising troops for a thousand days is only for a while. In front of the Vice President and Minister Yang, you must save face for me. Can our navy get more military expenses? , it's all up to you!"

"Captain, don't worry, I know it well."

Wang Weiguo said confidently that he has been in contact with airplanes for four or five years, and he was immediately attracted after seeing the photos of airplanes in newspapers. It is simply wonderful that people can fly in the sky like birds.

From the very first sight, Wang Weiguo felt as if he had found his true mission. The boy from this small town came to Fengtian alone, and he could only do odd jobs in the factory for the first two months.In addition to eating, the accumulated wages are to buy some materials, pictures, and models about the aircraft.

He can't read much, but when he sees something about airplanes, he is extraordinarily savvy, as if he is so blessed that he can understand everything.When participating in an air show, he took the initiative to volunteer for the flying club, and since then he has officially come into contact with the aircraft.

He has been in the flying club for more than half a year. During this time, he has received guidance from many pilots and even flew a few times himself.The person in charge of the club was shocked when he saw him flying a plane for the first time.I thought he was an old bird, but when he came down, after talking for a while, the person in charge was surprised to find that this young man had an extraordinary feeling about flying.

Talent plays a very important role for a pilot, and the person in charge decided to cultivate Wang Weiguo well.In view of his weak cultural foundation, he was specially given extra tutoring, and also brought him to meet a few pilots who had actually participated in combat, whenever he was free.Just go to the aviation school and take some courses.

After more than half a year, Wang Weiguo was admitted to Fengtian Aeronautical Academy with the No.1 grade, and became the best student of that year.When the naval aviation was formed, Wang Weiguo and a large number of the best pilots were transferred to the navy.

Wang Weiguo still remembers it clearly.He was the second to fly the plane and take off from the aircraft carrier.It was an indescribable feeling.It can be said that the moment he flew up, he clearly felt that this is the mode of future naval battles, let those giant ships with cannons be damned.No matter how large and mighty a battleship is, it is no match for an aircraft carrier that looks harmless to humans and animals.

Over the next year, they trained intensively.More and more people have learned to take off and land on the aircraft carrier.The Fengtian is like a giant dragon, gradually growing scales and sharp claws, and becoming ferocious with horns.

But in this process, it was also bloody.Three pilots died while training for various events, and the pilot who was the first to take off from an aircraft carrier also died.As a pioneer of an era, sacrifices seem to be inevitable, as long as they are worthwhile.

The engine of the Type 14 dive bomber roared, and a powerful force pushed the plane to slide quickly on the deck, and it reached the end of the deck in a blink of an eye.Wang Weiguo pulled it suddenly, and the good aerodynamic performance allowed the plane to easily fly into the sky. Like a sharp sword, it quickly climbed to a height of about 3000 meters, and then flew towards the predetermined target.

Both Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting stood in the command center on the island, watching the plane take off with binoculars.At the moment of take-off, Zhang Tinglan suddenly felt some sore eye circles. Such a simple leap represented an ancient nation, and finally embarked on the road to embrace the ocean.

Yang Yuting also made a circle, and he laughed at himself: "Zhuoyan, if others see how shallow our eye sockets are, I'm afraid there will be a joke."

"Just a joke, let's make a joke. It's been a long journey. Today, we finally get rid of the fate of being bullied. With this thing, we will bully others in the future!"

While Zhang Tinglan and the others were chatting, Wang Weiguo had already driven the plane over the intended target. He manipulated the plane to dive down quickly and at the same time opened the speedbrake.

Like an eagle descending from the sky, the fighter plane rushed towards the target ship below at an almost vertical angle.This is the power of the dive bomber. After all, in this era, there are no precision attack weapons at all.Bombing basically relies on numbers. In addition to the superb skills of the pilots, they must also have enough luck.

If you use a horizontal bomber to attack warships above the sea, it is basically equivalent to winning a lottery.However, the dive bomber can provide great accuracy, almost vertical attack, regardless of the speed of the bomb itself.

Wang Weiguo drove the plane and quickly rushed below 1000 meters, 900 meters, 800 meters, and finally reached the limit height of training. He dropped the bomb suddenly, and then pulled up with the fastest speed.

Like a straight sword, the 450kg bomb fell towards the target ship below. With a bang, the bomb just landed on the port side of the target ship. With a violent explosion, the old mail ship was quickly destroyed. It exploded into two pieces and sank into the sea.

Wang Weiguo drove the plane, easily returned to the sky above the aircraft carrier, and landed safely.Zhang Tinglan happily handed over Wang Weiguo to the headquarters.

"Captain Chen has already introduced you, you are very good." Zhang Tinglan took a medal from the secretary next to him and hung it on Wang Weiguo's chest with his own hands.

"This is the first Navy Gold Star Medal, which rewards individuals who have made important contributions to the development of the Navy. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Not only do you need to practice your skills well, but you also need to hand them over to more comrades. You are a team , Only through cooperation can we rule the seas and defeat powerful opponents."

Wang Weiguo did not expect to get a medal.You must know that Zhang Tinglan is quite stingy about medals. Without special merits, it is impossible to get them. Many generals can't easily get one.

Of course, the reason why it is difficult to obtain has a special relationship with the power represented by the medal. According to regulations, soldiers with medals enjoy free education for their children and special government allowances.After retiring from the army, the employment problem should be solved first. After the age of 50, the government will provide a pension that is twice the local average salary, and all medical care will be free.If you intend to enter politics, you can give priority to all levels of government.

All kinds of things, if you get a medal.Basically, the whole family is worry-free, and they go anywhere.face anyone.have priority.

Wang Weiguo was naturally excited to get one, but he suddenly said, "Vice President, can I give this medal to Shi Kai?"

"Why let it out?"

"Report to the Vice President, he was the first pilot to take off from an aircraft carrier, but he has died in the line of duty!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan nodded, then looked at Shen Honglie again, and asked, "Commander Shen. During the process of renovating the Mackensen, 18 workers and technicians died on their jobs. The three pilots died in the line of duty, and these heroes must not be forgotten. On the 3 highland in Lushun, a naval officer monument was built, and everyone who gave their lives for the prosperity of the country will be immortal!"

Zhang Tinglan's words made these admirals extremely excited, and some even burst into tears with excitement. Those spirits who passed away were finally comforted.

After seeing the dive bomber, there is another model on the warship, which is the torpedo attack aircraft.However, due to technical problems, the single-wing torpedo plane has not yet been produced, and only a biplane can be used temporarily, which can carry 760 kg of torpedoes.

Although the speed of the biplane is relatively slow, if fighter jets can be used to attract the opponent's attention, and then conduct ultra-low-altitude penetration, it is still fatal to large warships. The troops are stepping up to practice various tactics.

After Zhang Tinglan had seen it all, he was also very satisfied. After getting off the aircraft carrier, he called Shen Honglie to the office.

"Chengzhang, tell me, if there is any need, I will try my best to solve it."

Shen Honglie had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, so he said with a smile: "Vice President, it's just one word."

"Money!" Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting said at the same time.

Shen Honglie said with a smile: "That's right, our aircraft carrier formation has already taken shape, including two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, ten destroyers, six submarines, and only one oil tanker."

Zhang Tinglan frowned after hearing this. Compared with the aircraft carrier task force of World War II, this scale is not much different, but the difference is a little bit on the oil tanker.An American task force has four or five oil tankers. Even if the Chinese aircraft carrier formation does not need to cross the ocean, it should have three cruise ships.

"As a chapter, I will allocate funds to build oil tankers. In addition, it is best to design large-scale supply ships that can provide comprehensive supplements."

"That's great!" Shen Honglie's eyes lit up, and Zhang Tinglan was really generous, and he said: "Vice President, there is another problem, that is, carrier-based aircraft. The speed of producing all-metal aircraft is a bit slow now. You can't lean towards the Navy and slow down the progress of the Air Force's refit."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard it, he glanced at Yang Yuting next to him. Yang Yuting hurriedly said: "Zhuoyan, I am clear about the production of aircraft. Since 24 years, we have successively broken through the key technology of all-metal monoplanes. Mass production. But the production of aluminum alloys is seriously lagging behind, so the production of aircraft is not fast.”

"Well, in the final analysis, the industrial foundation is still weak. Whether it is to weaken the air force or reduce the navy, it is not a good way. I will explain to increase the development speed of the electrolytic aluminum factory."

"Humble words, to develop electrolytic aluminum, it is best to guard the hydropower station, so I suggest setting up a factory in Jilin, and the needed bauxite will be transported from Jiangxi."

"The distance is a bit far, and it can only be like this now, but we need to increase investment in power plants in Jiangxi, and strive to make production catch up as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan also sighed: "To be honest, I don't think the war will be too far away. We must be prepared."

Yang Yuting also nodded slightly. According to the original plan, he hoped to successfully complete the first five-year plan and lay the foundation for the industry. However, as China was basically unified, the impact on the entire international strategy began to appear.

First of all, Japan has been seriously affected. Since the Great Kanto Earthquake, this island country has accelerated the pace of militarism and devoted almost all of its limited energy to the military. The meaning of targeting China is very obvious.Russia also gradually recovered from the civil war, especially after China implemented the First Five-Year Plan, the Soviet Union also decisively adopted similar measures and began to accelerate industrial construction.

Moreover, China has also had an impact on Western countries such as the United States and Britain. These countries have also begun to change their strategies, intentionally or unintentionally restricting China's development, and at the same time expanding their support for Japan.

According to this trend, China's situation will get worse and worse.Although Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to fight, but sometimes, it is inevitable that the battle will find her. All China can do is to strengthen itself.
