Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 207 Type 41-1 Aviation Rocket and Aviation School Assessment
In the tense production, the time came to the end of April.

At present, both the Military Industry Bureau of the Border Region and the Logistics Department of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi are making every effort to produce mortars and shells of various calibers.

Everything is to strive to equip the frontline troops with more support weapons before the start of the next stage of the big battle, so as to ensure sufficient artillery support during the operation.

From February of this year to now, the situation has suddenly become very tense.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that Benzi signed a neutrality treaty with the north for a period of five years.This treaty is different from the previous 39-year armistice agreement, and it is very bad in nature.

The two sides traded with each other with things that did not belong to them. This consistent trick of harming others and benefiting oneself has strongly protested both the preserved fruit and the border areas.

After the establishment of the treaty, part of the Kwantung Army of the Devils was liberated at once.

Xiaotian immediately dispatched the 32nd and 83rd Flying Teams, and the main force of the 3rd Flying Group to support the North China battlefield.

The enemy further blocked the coastal areas, and at the same time carried out relatively flexible operations on the frontal battlefield.Coupled with the creation of various rumors, the offensive deployment to Zhongtiao Mountain was gradually completed.

The second is that Xiaotian keeps putting pressure on the ugly country, and they try to get the other side to lift the embargo.After all, island countries have limited resources, and if they cannot buy scrap steel and oil, they will be dragged down sooner or later.

The content of this so-called understanding plan is extremely dirty. The Ugly Country has betrayed its allies behind the scenes, but the effect is actually no different from Zhang's toilet paper.

Since then, the war has gradually entered the most difficult period, and everyone's trust in the north has also dropped to the bottom.

·····
On April 1941, 4, the base of the Air First Division in the Border Region.

Today there will be an exercise here, which is also a big assessment for all the pilot students. By the way, I will show the combat capabilities of the new weapons to the bosses.

All this is because the devils launched a tentative attack on the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain.

In Xiaotian, the 36th Division of the First Army was the main force, commanded by Division Chief Jing Guanren and Chief of Staff Hua Guzheng, and launched a surprise attack on the 27th Army assembled in Lingchuan in the southeast of Shanxi.

At the same time, Yoshio Iwamatsu also commanded the 37th and 41st Divisions, which attacked the 15th Army that had separated from the main force in the area south of Yicheng and east of Jiangxian.

With the lips dying and the teeth cold, the Eighth Route Army had to make countermeasures.

From the formation to the present, the First Air Division has only trained for five and a half months.

It has only been more than 20 days since the new Hurricane fighter jets were equipped to the troops. The pilots can only say that they are familiar with the basic operations of the fighter jets.

As soon as the organization was formed, it was necessary to go to the battlefield to fight the devil Lu Hang with real swords and guns. This challenge can be said to be quite big.

At present, there are less than [-] fighter jets of various types. Fortunately, the simple structure of Hurricane makes production very easy, so that the second department with a complete production line can also help.

Although this number is increasing every day, there is not much left for the students except for the part used by the combat heroes and instructors.

Specifically which newly graduated pilots will be sent to participate in the battle depends on today's big assessment and their performance.

Principal Chang personally issued the order to take off, and the first batch of four Hurricane fighters started their piston engines at the same time.

It is worth mentioning that the hurricane provided by the system is the MKIIB type.

它装备了12挺7.62毫米口径勃朗宁机枪，充分诠释了什么叫小水管多了也能打死人，甚至还可以外加最多2枚227公斤炸弹和6枚火箭弹。

Amidst a humming sound, the propellers of the four fighter jets began to rotate slowly and quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the pilots manipulated their fighter planes, and under the guidance of the ground crew, slowly drove towards the runway.

After receiving the departure signal, the propeller turned faster and faster, and after a while, the optical illusion of persistence of vision appeared, which seemed to be turning counterclockwise.

The four Hurricanes accelerated and taxied towards the end of the runway one by one. This time it was a live ammunition exercise, and all fighter jets were loaded with weapons under their wings.

The pilots not only had to complete the designated maneuvers, but also bombed in the air, and even demonstrated new weapons.That is to say, the soldiers have to complete three different project assessments in one sortie mission.

Only those who are all qualified can get the chance to go to the battlefield, which is a huge test for everyone.

After several hundred meters of gliding, under the action of the Merlin V12 piston engine, four Hurricane fighters rose from the ground one after another.

While all fighters are fully armed, there is nothing clumsy about their movements.On the contrary, because of the beautiful aerodynamic shape, the take-off process is full of industrial beauty.

The moment the new fighter took off into the sky, everyone on the ground was shocked.

After all, it was the first time for anyone other than the aviation school to observe the hurricane at close range, except for the chief and Huang He, and even the Extremis Fighting Fox and the Army Morale Master.

The four fighters climbed at a speed of 14.1 meters per second. They had to complete formation at a height of 2000 meters, and then carried out various maneuver assessments.

Before the assessment officially started, the Army Morale Master gently patted Huang He on the shoulder.He looked happy and melancholy, as if he had something to say.

"Even though I saw our planes with my own eyes, I still feel incredible that the border region has established an air force."

"It's a fantastic feeling to go from being strafed and bombed by the enemy at low altitude to now having more than 200 aircraft."

"But when I think of these fighters who have just graduated and will soon participate in fierce battles, I feel very uncomfortable."

Huang He was not surprised by the words of the Army Morale Master.

On weekdays, this man has always loved soldiers like a son, and often mingles with soldiers.He has a strong affinity in the army, and many soldiers regard him as their father.

After thinking for a while, Huang He said seriously:

"Our troops have all grown up step by step in the flames of war. Soldiers have better planes and serious and responsible instructors. I believe they will be no worse than the enemy."

"The victory of this battle must belong to us."

This sentence made the morale master of the army nod his head. He knew how hard the training in the aviation school was, and he had confidence in his soldiers.

While the two were talking, the assessment plane had reached the designated altitude and area, and the comrades on the ground also took out their binoculars and began to observe.

In order to simulate a relatively realistic battle scene, the four hurricanes formed up two by two, and they needed to fight dogfights in the air.In addition to not being able to use weapons to attack, everything must be aligned with actual combat.

The final result is judged by professionals such as President Chang based on a series of criteria.

In the sky, the various maneuvers and offensive and defensive transitions of the four fighter planes made the people on the ground exclaim again and again.

The soldiers not only have solid basic skills, but also cooperate with the lead plane and wingman very tacitly.

In such a scene, even the six battle heroes nodded frequently. They were already very satisfied with being able to achieve this level in just five months of training.

After the dogfight and maneuver assessment is over, it is the training of diving and dropping bombs.

Although the Hurricane was originally designed as a fighter jet, its dive performance is very good, which is why its later models can be changed to fighter bombers.

However, because there is no device that can automatically pull up when it reaches a certain height, it is dangerous when it dives and drops bombs to attack ground units, which tests the pilot's driving skills.

Soon, the four hurricanes arrived at the designated attack area.

There are white circular targets prepared in advance on the ground, and the range of each target is a circle with a diameter of 30 meters.

The result of the assessment is determined by the accuracy of the aerial bomb.

After the hurricanes circled half a circle in the air, they began to attack one after another.

They approach and lock on the target with a steep dive, and then release the aerial bomb at a low altitude, and the aerial bomb continues to fall along the established dive trajectory to accurately hit the target.

The four hurricanes dropped a 227kg aerial bomb one after another, and one even used a cannon to demonstrate its fairly good ground licking skills.

This kind of operation is allowed. Before the assessment begins, Principal Chang has informed all the graduates that they can use all their abilities.

It's just that if you make a mistake, not only will you have to deduct points, but you will also have to retake the higher education machine course.

These aerial bombs flew to their respective targets accurately, and with the swing-type pylons, they all hit the targets after a few seconds.

Soon the ground was blasted with flowers, which looked very spectacular.

The fire, smoke, and ground vibration caused by the explosion all indicated that the damage effect of this attack was very good.

The pilots in the assessment and the people on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, when Huang He introduced the dive attack before, he specifically mentioned the failure cases of thirteen Stukas. No one wants to see their precious pilots lost in an assessment.

After throwing the bombs, the assessment is not over yet.The four hurricanes have regained their altitude, and they are about to carry out the last assessment project.

At the same time, everyone except the aviation school looked at Huang He, and everyone's eyes were full of puzzlement.

In everyone's perception, what can be assessed is nothing more than maneuvers and dogfights, machine guns and aerial bombs.The above two projects are over, and they really can't think of any new tricks.

In the crowd, only the director looked thoughtful, he seemed to have thought of a word Huang He mentioned before.

At this moment, a curious Hunan accent sounded.

"It seems that Comrade Huang He has prepared a surprise for us again, so please don't discuss it, and watch the next assessment with peace of mind!"

With the righteous master speaking, everyone will stop discussing.Only the chief quietly walked to Huang He's side, and he gently pressed his elbow against the other's ribs and said:
"Are you kidding yourself? How can you research new weapons so fast? If I were a doctor, I would definitely cut your brain open."

"You are all Chinese, so you are different from others. You are a branch of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, which is really surprising."

After hearing the word "kai hang", Huang He almost twitched his waist.After the director has been in contact with him for a long time, he always likes to learn some words he said unintentionally, and he has a fight with Li Yunlong.

"What's the deal? They are all a series of weapons. As long as one research is understood, the rest will be understood by analogy."

"Look hard and study hard, the next project is very exciting."

During the conversation between the two, the four hurricanes had already reached the sky above the target area.

Since this time was not only for the assessment, but also for the purpose of showing the power of the new weapon to the bosses, Huang He specially asked Principal Chang to prepare a few steel plates.

Their thickness is about the same as that of the Devil's Type [-] light tank, and they are used to simulate the enemy's armored units.For practical effect, the size of these targets is about the same size as the enemy's light tank.

But from a thousand-meter altitude, it was just a small green dot, even blending with the surrounding environment.

Moments later, the four hurricanes began to move in sequence.The first one began to circle the descending altitude, while also preparing for launch.

The observers on the ground stared at the fighter plane intently, and saw that the assessment target began to dive at a small angle and quickly approached the steel plate.

Suddenly there was a flash of fire under the wings of the hurricane.An aviation rocket rushed towards the target with its tail flame, and a sea of ​​flames rose instantly on the ground.

This unexpected attack method made the crowd on the ground resound with local dialects.

As the saying goes, if the rocket is fired well, the visual effect is definitely extraordinary, and it is much more entertaining than the dive bomb.

Even the Stuka's Horn of Jericho is not as powerful as a long-range strike.

Although everyone has heard of the name of aviation rockets, but the first time this weapon appeared in the air force of one's own side, the shock it brought was definitely not light.

When the 40 fire was first developed, the army morale master had fired a few rounds on the shooting range. From that day on, he had a strong interest in this weapon.

"Little Huang! Is this an upgraded version of the bazooka? It's too powerful! With this thing, the means of killing and killing ground units by fighter jets will undergo an earth-shaking change."

"Come on, come on, introduce yourself to us."

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Huang He took a step forward and began to say:
"The code name of this aviation rocket is Type 41-1. I haven't figured out the specific name yet. It is an imitation of the 82mm aviation rocket in the north. Currently, there is only a high-explosive version."

"However, if you want to fight devils, high-explosive bombs are sufficient for most situations. He can not only attack ground units, but also attack enemy aircraft, but it will test the pilot's skills."

"We are currently developing a 132mm version with a larger caliber, and it is expected to be installed in troops this year."

People from the north helped the Yellow River to step on the pit, and the First Section of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau directly skipped the two design schemes of the rifled gun spinner and the circular tail stabilizer.

It is in place in one step directly, and a dart-shaped tail with better stability is adopted.

The wingspan of the tail can neither be too large nor too small. If it is too large, the center of gravity of the entire rocket will move backward, which will affect the stability.If it is too small, its ability to stabilize the rocket will be drastically reduced.

Affected by the level of materials, the Type 41-1 produced by Huanghe adopted a 200mm tail fin.

"Good! Good weapon! With this aviation rocket! I have more confidence in supporting Zhongtiao Mountain!"

"Although we have new infantry weapons, in the end we just caught up with the devils. Now it's good! We finally have equipment that we didn't have in our childhood!"

"Happy! Happy!"

　Comrades, give the Type 41-1 aviation rocket a name
