Rise from the sword

Chapter 608
Jinling.

According to Rong.

In the evening, two burly young men in shabby plain clothes walked down the street pushing a small cart with their sleeves rolled up.

The wooden tires made a series of creaking and creaking sounds.

On the small trolley, there are bags of bulging burlap sacks. Through the worn part of the burlap sack, one can still vaguely see a grain of corn inside, and even some corn kernels fall out occasionally.

Although these corn grains are not full, they are of different sizes, they are also mixed with corn silk, and even corn cob crumbs. The bags of corn are also filled with the entire trolley. From the packaging, it can be seen that this is obviously not for people. food.

But the two young men seem to be afraid of the hard life, and they have developed the habit of saving food in their bones, and they still pick up the fallen corn kernels, and they will not let go of every kernel.

Because of picking up the corn kernels that occasionally fall, it is a bit slow.

In this way, the two slowly passed outside a sub-station of Ju Rong's devil security brigade.

During the period, the two continued to pick up corn kernels, and secretly looked at the rear of the security brigade. In the large open space there, there was a ghost merchant's warehouse made of wood and canvas.

The warehouse was recently built. Before that, there was no fertile land. Recently, because of the large amount of cheap grain on the market, farming is not cost-effective at all. The grain can only be sold at a good price in the base area. This is a Japanese-occupied area, so few people grow grain. .

The poor are happy to grow food, even if it is not cost-effective, but the landlord cannot give the land to the poor, so they rent it to the devils.

This warehouse is very large, covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres. It is fully enclosed and has a huge door. At this time, the door is closed, and it is impossible to see what is in the warehouse.

"The little devil is really stupid."

The two were pushing the cart, and one of them, the young man, whispered:

"For such a big warehouse, it's okay to be next to the headquarters of the garrison brigade. The devil soldiers are allowed to carry supplies in, and the common people are not forced to do it. We two strong men walk around every day, and we don't arrest them for work. It's not clear. There is no silver 300 taels here!"

"When did the devil work on this kind of grain warehouse?"

"It's obviously deception!"

"Haha, you boy, you have been in the construction team for half a year, and you are good at cultural knowledge, and you have learned to use idioms."

Beside him, another middle-aged man in his 30s said with a smile.

"That's not."

The young man held his head high and spoke confidently:
"After I left the construction brigade, I went through three months of training in the army. I learned a lot of cultural knowledge there. I also met a great professor at the university. The instructor said that I had the potential to work in intelligence behind enemy lines. After training for a period of time, sent me back."

Come back and explain that this young man's hometown is here.

"Haha, then tell me, is the devil plane coming to the warehouse now?"

asked the older man.

"It's definitely coming."

Squinting his eyes and looking at the ground, the young man said with certainty:
"Yesterday, the neighbors nearby said that there was a huge commotion last night. The ground outside the warehouse was cleaned up today. It should be the ghosts who removed the traces of the plane tires."

"So, it is basically certain that the devil plane is coming."

Speaking of this, the young man raised his tone:

"Why don't we bring the hand cannons from the team tonight?"

"Or, just put the 120 on the top of the mountain and blow up the place. Although this warehouse is big, but at most one or two planes can be put down, the kid won't notice."

"No, pass the news up first, and then wait for the order from above, just in case."

The middle-aged man shook his head, rejecting the young man's idea of ​​action, and then he also raised his tone:
"Don't be reckless, you have to obey the command, how many times have I told you?"

"Yes."

The young man flinched.

The two continued to push the trolley forward, and then entered a room. Ten minutes later, a telegram carrying the information was delivered to Zhao Jiayu.

······
"Bomb trucks and fighter jets have been upgraded?"

In Heyuan County, in the Independent Air Force Base, Huang Quan was a little surprised when he saw the people sent by the logistics center.

Having been in the Independent Regiment for so long, Huang Quan is very clear that the attack aircraft, fighter jets, and transport aircraft equipped in the army are all models with the highest performance in the world.

Europe and the United States are not comparable.

For the big powers, even the Americans, the British, and the Germans do not have much advantage in the structure of the fighters they use, but the engine and other technologies are five years advanced, and the material technology is ten years advanced.

Regardless of the fact that the jets of the Germans and the British are all equipped, but the fighter that the pilots privately call "kitten" is really not bad at all. It's really hard to say in a fight. .

"Correct."

The officer who came to report nodded and briefly explained:

"The overall aerodynamic structure of the new fighter has not changed, but the engine has been further upgraded, with increased horsepower, reduced weight, increased reliability, enhanced armor, and increased damage resistance."

"let me see."

Dissatisfied with the director's written introduction, Huang Quan couldn't wait to grab the information from the director and read it for himself.

After quickly reading through the upgrade fighter information in his hand, especially at the end, he couldn't help grinning and let out a harsh cry:
"Great."

There is no pilot who does not want the fighter jet in his hands to be more powerful. Although it is still an old plane with the same appearance, from his professional perspective, the performance improvement of the plane this time can be called a stock exchange.

For example, the fighter they called "Kitten" changed the engine to a turboshaft engine, and when the horsepower remained the same, the weight was reduced by one-third and the volume was also reduced by half.

It's not just a one-third reduction in engine weight.

After the weight of the engine is reduced, the corresponding supporting balance structure is also greatly reduced, and the overall weight is reduced by far more than one-third of the engine weight.

The reduction in the volume of the engine means that the windward cross-sectional area is also reduced, so the wind resistance will also be reduced, the speed will be increased, the maneuverability will be greatly increased, and the range will also be increased to a certain extent.

However, the only disadvantage is that the new engine consumes a lot of fuel at low speeds, which leads to a worse range than the previous piston engine when flying in cruise mode with the same fuel.

Of course, there are good and bad.

The new turboprop engine has good high-altitude performance, and the flying height of 'Kitten' has been greatly improved.

In addition, "Kitten" also has all the armor replaced by titanium alloy, and the aiming equipment has been strengthened, and new alloy materials have been used to strengthen the body structure, making the body stronger without increasing the weight of the body, and other improvements.

In this way, combat pilots have a greater chance of survival and a higher success rate when they make an emergency landing.

At the end of the information, it is also mentioned that the army has obtained all the manufacturing technology and manufacturing equipment of this fighter, as well as the corresponding technical personnel. Of course, the production and manufacturing technology of transport planes and 'bomb trucks' has also been obtained.

'We can make it ourselves! '

This is what makes Huang Quan most happy.

Others, no matter how many, no matter how good the relationship is, it is given by others. This aid can be stopped at any time, making people feel uneasy all the time. Only giving birth by oneself is the best.

However, due to the large amount of equipment and high technical difficulty, the current base area really cannot spare manpower to set up this aircraft manufacturing center, so the equipment has not yet been confiscated.

But the location of this aircraft manufacturing center has already been selected. Considering safety, it is in Chang'an!

Construction is expected to begin in half a year.

"Haha, this plane is really nice."

Compared with fighter upgrades, Huang Quan is more satisfied with the upgrades of transport aircraft and attack aircraft.

Nowadays, most of the elite fighter pilots have been killed by the Americans, and there are very few left in the country. The demand for fighter jets is really not high, mainly for attack aircraft to support the ground and transport aircraft to transport personnel.

An upgraded transport plane.

The body structure has not changed, but the engine has been changed to a turboprop engine. With an increase in horsepower of [-] horsepower, the weight has been reduced by more than one-third. In addition to the support structure, the overall weight of the aircraft has been reduced by more than one-tenth. .

For a transport aircraft with a total weight of more than ten tons, the weight loss is more than one ton.

Moreover, the cruising speed has increased from the original 300 kilometers per hour to the current 540 kilometers per hour, and because of the addition of auxiliary fuel tanks, the voyage has not changed, which means that starting from starting the engine, from Heyuan County to Song County, from the original two and a half hours to now only takes less than one and a half hours.

Transport efficiency has greatly increased.

The attack plane, aka 'bomb truck' upgrade is not that big though.

Only the body structure has been strengthened, it is still a piston engine, but it has been upgraded, the fuel consumption has been slightly reduced, the reliability has been improved, and the maintainability has been enhanced. After all, the piston engine has good low-speed performance and can continue to be used after being shot. In addition, new materials are used to strengthen it. The airframe structure has been improved, a titanium alloy bathtub-style bulletproof cockpit has been added, and new ground-targeting equipment has been installed to optimize the autopilot function.

These benefits are also obvious.

For an independent flying group with a lot of novices, the aircraft is strong and has strong bulletproof capabilities, which can greatly improve the survival rate of pilots.

"Where's the new plane?"

Huang Qu couldn't wait.

"It's already in the airport warehouse."

In order to facilitate transportation, there is a 'warehouse' in the Air Force Base of Heyuan County.

"correct."

When Huang Quan couldn't wait to try out the new plane, the officer handed Huang Quan a document from the regiment headquarters.

"The regiment has now named and numbered the aircraft we are equipped with."

said the secretary.

"Is it finally there?!."

Huang Quan's tone was a little emotional.

Because it was not their own plane, and when Boss Chen gave it to him, he didn't mention the name of the plane, so the army has never given the names and numbers of the three planes.

They are all called attack aircraft, fighter jets, and transport aircraft.

As for those 'kittens', 'air mules', and 'bomb trucks', they are all private nicknames.

"Correct."

The steward smiled and said:

"Because we can manufacture it ourselves, we naturally need a name and number, and we also took an internationally accepted English abbreviation number."

"The transport plane is called Yun-1, code-named "Air Mule", and the English abbreviation is Y-1, the attack plane is called Qiang-1, code-named "Bomb Truck", and the fighter plane is called J-1, code-named 'Kitten'."

"Strong-1?"

Huang Quan was taken aback.

The regiment headquarters directly copied the popular nickname, which he had thought of a long time ago, but he didn't understand Qiang-1.

"Attack aircraft means attack aircraft."

The secretary explained.

Huang Quan was stunned.

As soon as the officer left, Huang Quan couldn't wait to go to the airport to take over the new plane before he walked out of the air force combat hall.

Not bothering to read the thick new flight manual and maintenance manual, Huang Quan directly boarded a new 'kitten', which is the J-1 fighter jet, started the engine and rose into the sky.

After circling a few times, and then several high-speed dives, after playing for half an hour, Huang Quan landed on the runway with a face full of excitement.Then I flew Yun-1, Qiang-1, and attack planes for a while.

After experiencing the three types of aircraft, the smile on Huang Quan's face became more and more satisfied.

All three aircraft, even the 'bomb truck' with the least upgrades, have a nice performance boost.

"Captain."

At this moment, a staff officer from an independent flying regiment ran over:
"So far, 330 seven devil planes have been found, and the head asked us to clean up all the moths."

"330 seven!"

Huang Quan's eyes lit up.

This time, the Devils gathered a total of more than 370 fighter jets to form the Eighth Air Force to deal with the independent regiment flying units in the south. Relying on the information provided by Boss Chen, he has found 330 and seven fighters.

and so.

The head of the regiment gave the order to start.

"Order."

Huang Quan's tone was harsh and murderous:
"The attack crews began to prepare for the flight, and took off in three hours."

Fixed-point bombing, in this era without GPS, requires flight route simulation to determine the flight route and positioning and navigation during the flight.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to convey the order.

·····
Three hours later, when Huang Quan watched more than 300 attack planes take off.

When Rong and other devils occupied the area, more than 100 local guerrillas who received the order assembled and took out the weapons at the bottom of the box, 120 mortars, 105 mountain guns, 75 mountain guns, 82 mortars, and large-caliber heavy machine guns. Flamethrowers, 84mm recoilless guns, and mighty rush to the devils' warehouses, airports, garages, and even the headquarters.

Hengyang.

"The Eighth Air Force is expected to be assembled next week."

Yokoyama Yong also received a piece of good news.
