Bright Sword Military System

Regarding the matter of pilots, Wang Xuexin actually made careful considerations rather than arbitrarily advocating.

Of course, there are also formal reasons for this.

but……

Wang Xuexin said to Yu Ping: "This is what I think. Mao Xiong's fighter plane is different from Ying Jiang's fighter plane, and we should treat it differently in the training of pilots!"

"How to say?" Yu Ping asked.

Yu Ping is very good at this point. Although he came out of the Jinsui Army and got used to many warlord troops, he still insists on one thing: in terms of flying and combat, he will not follow what his superiors say.

For example, now, he will "struggle with reason" with Wang Xuexin.

At least in his view, it is "struggling with reason".

Because, he thinks that war is not a joke or an affair, and he can't risk the lives of his subordinates.

Wang Xuexin asked instead: "What is the maximum flight speed of the Hawker 81?"

Yu Ping replied without thinking, "547 kilometers!"

"What about Mao Xiong's 'La 5'?" Wang Xuexin asked again.

"650 kilometers!" As a pilot, Yu Ping is of course very familiar with these data.

"Did you see what's wrong?" Wang Xuexin looked at Yu Ping.

Yu Ping thought for a while, then said "oh": "What does the battalion commander mean, we can take advantage of the speed of 'La 5' to train pilots in battle?"

Wang Xuexin nodded: "Because 'La 5' has an absolute speed advantage over 'Zero War', so we have the initiative in air combat. Simply put, we fight when we want to fight and escape when we want to." Run away when the time is right, the enemy has nothing to do with our army! Since this is the case, why don't we let the pilots grow up in the battle? As for the survival rate... We only need to teach the pilots a tactic, that is, high-speed contact with the enemy, launch X2, Then evacuate at high speed."

Speaking of which, Wang Xuexin raised his head towards Yu Ping: "Captain Yu, how long do you think it will take to teach pilots these things?"

Yu Ping couldn't help but nodded slightly, he was obviously convinced by Wang Xuexin's idea.

Yu Ping had always opposed the transfer of the pilot students from Wanxian Airport to the Second Air Force. It was because he always felt that these pilot students were just for the sake of numbers, and they did not contribute to the strength of the Second Air Force. It is a hindrance, because they are unable to conduct air combat, and once they are launched into the air, there is a high probability that they will be shot down by the enemy instead of having any results.

however……

If Wang Xuexin's tactics are used, that is, to let those new students withdraw after fighting, it is almost a matter of flying and does not require combat.

First of all, the speed of "La 5" is much higher than that of "Zero War".

The top speed of "La 5" is 650 kilometers per hour, and the top speed of "Zero War" is 533 kilometers per hour, a speed difference of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

For fighters, at least fighters of this era, speed is everything.

Therefore, basically all flying skills are unnecessary, such as rear-end chasing, dogfighting, climbing, etc... There is a saying: "In the face of absolute strength, any skill is useless."

The air combat of fighter planes can be changed to: "In the face of absolute speed, any flying technology is useless."

Because the devil pilots couldn't catch up with the enemy plane, there was no chance to use any technique.

Secondly, the fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army pilots probably will not enter the range of the Devil fighter planes.

The reason is the X2 used by the Eighth Route Army, which can shoot down enemy planes from four to 500 meters away, while the machine guns and cannons of the enemy planes must be at least within 300 meters.

Although this distance is only a blink of an eye for fighters.

But if "La 5" has a speed advantage and deliberately keeps a distance from the enemy plane... This is not difficult for a fighter plane with a speed advantage. But there is nothing to do with it.

With this kind of tactics, even if the new trainees of the Eighth Route Army are flying the plane, there is no saying that they will die when they take off, which means that they have the power to fight the enemy.

It's not even just about having the power to fight, as long as you can keep calm and grasp the timing of the attack, it is very possible to shoot down the enemy plane and achieve the result.

Since this is the case, what reason is there not to let them participate in the war?

Thinking of this, Yu Ping nodded and said, "Yes, Battalion Commander! You are right, I have no objection!"

"Captain Yu!" Wang Xuexin continued: "In addition, I hope you understand that there is another essential difference between Maoxiong's fighter and Yingjiang's fighter: the lifespan of their engines..."

Yu Ping nodded and said, "I've heard about this too. They say that the lifespan of the 'La 5' engine is only 50 hours!"

"Most of them last less than 50 hours!" Wang Xuexin corrected: "I asked Major Yaroslav that this engine will undergo a major overhaul in about 30 hours, and then it is possible to fly for 50 hours without failure. You As a pilot you should know what happens if the plane is in the air and the engine fails!"

Yu Ping nodded solemnly, of course he knew.

This is similar to being shot down by the enemy, and the only way to survive is by parachuting.

However, Daqing Mountain and Luliang Mountain are full of rugged mountains, and it is difficult to survive skydiving... Mountains are definitely a nightmare for skydivers, because skydivers are likely to hit trees, rocks, or even cliffs, etc. , There are countless unknown dangers waiting for them.

Yu Ping sighed: "But the conditions are like this, we have nothing to do, it's good to have a plane! Don't worry, battalion commander, I will explain this issue to the pilots clearly!"

What Yu Ping said was true.

This is different from the nature of letting new students participate in the war before.

He thought that the new cadets were going to die when they joined the war, and the problem with the aircraft engine... This cannot be solved unless there is no war.

But it is necessary to fight the devils, even if you have a narrow escape, there is nothing to complain about.

Yu Ping clearly distinguished the difference between the two.

But this is not what Wang Xuexin wanted to say.

Wang Xuexin shook his head and said with a smile: "I have never doubted your courage, but... If this is the case with our fighter, have you ever thought that we should treat it as a consumable?"

"Consumables?" Yu Ping looked at Wang Xuexin in shock.

He has always thought that fighter planes are very expensive things, and if they can be used, they should be used as much as possible until the last moment. How can they be used as consumables?

But after thinking about it in detail, Yu Ping felt that this was also true.

The life of the engine is only 50 hours, and it can only be reached after an overhaul.

That means that this engine and even this kind of aircraft may run out of fuel at any time...

So, in the event of a dangerous situation, is it necessary for the pilot to risk his life in order to save such a fighter plane that is about to die?

So Yu Ping replied: "Battle Commander, I know what to do!"
