Chapter 401 The Pilot

Then Wang Xuexin put forward two improvement suggestions one after another.

One: Cancel the protrusions on the surface of the aircraft that increase resistance, such as the power socket of the ground start vehicle.

Two: Redesign the main landing gear hatch to completely cover the main wheels that were not fully covered in the past.

Yaroslav immediately sent these improvement suggestions back to Mao Xiong's country.

At the beginning, Wang Xuexin’s improvement suggestions were not taken seriously, because Mao Xiong’s domestic researchers and technology took it for granted: a Chinese army battalion commander actually wanted to improve the "La 5" fighter jet?Is this some tricks?

But some of the improvements are extremely easy, such as canceling the protrusions of the power socket of the ground start vehicle, especially the "pull 5" is still a wooden body... To remove these protrusions is almost a matter of filing them flat with a file.

So the technician reluctantly tried it with the mentality of giving it a try and carried out a test flight.

Unexpectedly, this test surprised everyone... After canceling these inconspicuous protrusions, the load capacity and speed of "Pull 5" can be improved. Although it is not obvious, everyone knows that in air combat Even if it only increases the load and speed a little bit, it is quite impressive. The load of a fighter plane can be described as "an inch of gold", because it means that the fighter plane can carry more fuel or ammunition to improve combat effectiveness.

Then Maoxiong's R&D staff implemented Wang Xuexin's improvement suggestions one by one and tested them. The results surprised everyone:

At an altitude of 6150 meters, after adding 150 kilograms of load, the maximum speed increased by 25 kilometers per hour, which means the maximum speed increased to 677 kilometers per hour.

This is still the performance of the situation where the wing has not been changed...Since the "La 5" has already been finalized and put into production, it is difficult to change the wing, and all other improvements only need three weeks before and after.

In the end, even Mao Xiong's top deputy commander was alarmed. He rushed to the test flight airport to watch the flight comparison in person. After confirming, he sighed: "Huaxia Battalion Commander completed the upgrade of 'La 5' for us. Replacement! It’s unimaginable that just a few small changes can make such a big improvement, it’s almost another aircraft, but the shape is almost the same!”

Then the supreme deputy commander immediately ordered: "Immediately establish a production line for a new type of fighter, and produce this improved fighter at the same time as the 'La 5'!"

The reason why the Supreme Deputy Commander issued this order was because Mao Xiong was in urgent need of fighter jets at this time, and it was impossible for the already established "Pull 5" production line to be abandoned just like this.

Therefore, under the huge demand gap and tight time requirements, we can only continue to produce "Pull 5".

When the news reached Moshipo, Yaroslav and Feladelov were stunned.

Although they felt that these suggestions put forward by Wang Xuexin were reasonable, it would be good if one or two of these improvements could be adopted, but they did not expect that all of them were adopted.

The reason why one of them was not adopted was that it took time to improve it. Mao Xiong demanded that "Pull 5" could be put into battle immediately, so there was no urgent change.

Yaroslav was stunned for a while before he said to Feradlov: "Who is this guy? He must have studied aircraft design before, otherwise..."

"He didn't, Major!" Feiladlov replied: "I have investigated him a long time ago. It is certain. He has never left this land since he was born!"

"But this..." Yaroslav held up the telegram from the country and said, "How do you explain this?"

Feradlov could only reply: "Some people are born inventors, don't you think so? Genius cannot be explained!"

Yaroslav could only acquiesce, and finally he just said: "If he is a genius, shouldn't we put more projects in front of him? I mean, it will be good for us too!"

Wang Xuexin doesn't care about these things.

At this time, he was more concerned about the formation of the Second Air Force and the production of "La 5".

As mentioned before, the formation of the Second Air Force is directly related to the opening of the Daqingshan battlefield in the north of the Eighth Route Army, and also related to whether the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Plant can be included in the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

The Daqingshan Iron and Steel Works is directly related to the further development of the Eighth Route Army's industry.

you could put it that way:

Successfully capturing Yuncheng and defending it gave the Eighth Route Army a foundation for industrial development. Many things were created from scratch, and the combat effectiveness of the troops also achieved a qualitative leap.

But Yuncheng's development is limited after all... This is mainly because of the devil's attack in the direction of Yuncheng, and at the same time, the area around Yuncheng is a plain, making it difficult for Yuncheng's industry to develop.

This made the Eighth Route Army have to open up Daqingshan in order to get further development.

The success of this move depends on the formation of the Second Air Force.

However, this formation was difficult.

The biggest difficulty is the serious shortage of pilots.

Wang Xuexin did not dare to transfer too many pilots from the First Air Force, because the mission of the First Air Force is to defend the airspace around Yuncheng. There is a mechanized unit called the Hundred Battle Group, but the mechanized unit also needs the cover of fighter planes.

Therefore, when the Second Air Force was first formed, there were only 10 people including the captain Yu Ping.

And Mao Xiong's first batch of fighter planes had 30 fighters, and Mao Xiong had 30 flight instructors...there were more instructors and planes than pilots, which can also be said to be unprecedented.

Wang Xuexin discussed this issue with Yu Ping, and Yu Ping was worried about the pilot from the beginning to the end.

Wang Xuexin thought about it for a while, and then ordered: "Transfer from the students at Wanxian Airport!"

"Battalion Commander!" Yu Ping said in surprise after hearing these words: "Those students have only been trained for a few months, and quite a few of them haven't even been on a plane..."

"So what?" Wang Xuexin interrupted Yu Ping: "With this condition now, if you can't get it, you can get it, so why should Mao Xiong's flight instructor fight for us? It's not such a cheap thing!"

"But..." Yu Ping said, "That's an airplane, if you're not careful, it will crash!"

Wang Xuexin objected: "Do you know Captain Feradlov?"

"Of course!" Yu Ping replied.

Feradlov is the captain of the bear pilot, of course Yu Ping knows it.

"Then you know..." Wang Xuexin continued to ask: "Has Captain Feradlov only been flying for a few months? He was a ground crew before!"

When Wang Xuexin said this, Yu Ping fell silent.

They use Mao Xiong's fighter planes. If Mao Xiong pilots can do it, why can't the Eighth Route Army pilots?

What's more, the pilots of the Eighth Route Army have undergone basic pilot training.

Although these basic trainings were completed in the hands of Yingjiang pilots at Wanxian Airport, there are many similarities in the piloting of fighter jets.

And the Bear Pilot...

Yu Ping heard that many pilots were sent into the air after only a few weeks of training.
