Chapter 130: Night takeoff and landing of rotorcraft

That's right, the plan to attack Tiyuan Airport at night that was originally planned to be abandoned by Liu Xiu was once again brought out by Liu Xiu.

However, just when Liu Xiu was planning to remind Liu Qin to build a rotorcraft, which was a three-bouncer in the air, Liu Qin unexpectedly suggested it himself.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiu's door was awakened by Liu Qin, and then Liu Qin took the drawing and said to Liu Xiu:

"Xiu'er, I was thinking about it last night and came up with an aircraft that can take off and land without a long runway! So I drew the drawings overnight! Come and take a look!"

After Liu Xiu heard Liu Qin's words, he pretended to be surprised and asked him:

"Ah! Are there actually planes that can take off without a runway?"

"It's not that we don't need a runway, it's that we don't need a long runway. Forget it, it just means we don't need a runway! Come and have a look!"

After Liu Qin said that, he opened the blueprint in his hand. Liu Xiu took a look and saw that this was the famous three-bouncer in the air, a rotorcraft.

Liu Qin saw Liu Xiu looking at his drawing in a daze, thinking that Liu Xiu couldn't understand the drawing he drew, so he explained:

"This is called a rotorcraft. The rotation of a rotor at the top generates lift and drives the entire aircraft to take off! Its advantage is that it can use a very short runway. It only takes about ten meters to take off, and it can Land almost vertically!"

"Dad! You are so amazing, you can actually invent such a powerful airplane!"

However, when Liu Qin heard Liu Xiu's compliment, he shook his head and said:

"No matter who invents the plane, as long as it can deal with the little devils, Dad, please arrange to have it manufactured as soon as possible!"

After Liu Xiu persuaded his cheap dad to leave, he borrowed the radio station in the arsenal to get the defense map about the Taiyuan Aircraft Factory.

"This was not invented by your father or me. It was invented by a Spanish engineer named Sheba in 1925!"

And this thing is not only less noisy than a helicopter, but more importantly, there is no need to worry about crashing if the engine fails.

Perhaps it was because he had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army before, so the little devil's protection against the Tiyuan Arsenal had been strengthened a lot since then.

As for the helicopter engine failure, it is almost 100% that the aircraft crashed and everyone died. After all, the basketball star has proved with his own life that helicopters are an extremely unreliable vehicle.

Liu Xiu did not defend Liu Qin's words. He just nodded to express his understanding and then persuaded Liu Qin to build gyroplanes.

You must know that this kind of rotorcraft, which is similar to a helicopter, has a higher safety factor than all aircraft. Even if the engine fails, it can land safely.

I have to say that the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army is still very good, and the defense map of Taiyuan Airport is very clear.

As a time traveler, he naturally knows much more about the use of rotorcraft than Liu Qin. An aircraft like this, which has almost the same take-off and landing requirements as a helicopter, is most suitable for use as a vehicle for special forces raids.

"Although this rotorcraft can take off and land without a runway, it also has many shortcomings. First of all, it cannot fly very fast. The fastest speed cannot exceed 300 kilometers per hour, so at most it can only deal with ground forces. The little Japanese is used as a bomber, there is no way he can fight with the little Japanese fighter planes in the air!"

But after Liu Qin heard Liu Xiu's words, he shook his head and said:

A whole regiment of little Japs were stationed around the airport, and there were also four regiments of little Japs stationed within a radius of fifty kilometers.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to lead troops from the ground to approach the Jaap's Taiyuan Airport. Not to mention that Liu Xiu only thinks that he has only 3,000 people, and even 30,000 people may not be able to fight. Therefore, the only way is All they had to do was wait for Liu Qin to get the rotorcraft out and then try to make a surprise attack from the air.

Just when Liu Xiu was thinking about how to lead his troops to raid the little Japanese's Taiyuan Airport, he suddenly saw another signal flare on the top of the mountain opposite. Seeing this situation, Liu Xiu naturally understood that this was a signal that the Japs' plane was coming again.

But this time Liu Xiu did not order people to carry light machine guns and shoot them empty, but asked them all to hide in the air-raid shelters.

Unless the little devil's plane is less than two hundred meters high, it can't counterattack.

But this time the little devil did not arrive with nine planes, but only one plane. After seeing that there was no one on the airport runway, he dropped two aerial bombs and flew away.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xiu also understood that the Japs had sent a plane over to inspect and see that the Eighth Route Army had not repaired the runway!

As for why they sent a plane over, it's naturally because the little devils are not rich either! After all, the only oil field here in Duzhou is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army!

It has been four or three years now, and the war of attrition between the Japs and the United States has almost exhausted their strategic material reserves, so naturally they should save whatever they can!

Of course, Liu Qin didn't make Liu Xiu wait long. In just three days, Liu Qin came up with the initial version of the rotorcraft with the help of a kind of carpenter.

The driving methods of the rotorcraft Liu Qin created are similar to those of fixed-wing aircraft. They are both controlled by joysticks.

Of course, because they are all made of wood, and because they only use a two-stroke engine, their weight is only two hundred kilograms lighter than the three-bouncer that Liu Xiu is familiar with.

Of course, its load capacity is naturally not as high as the original three-bouncer, only 180 kilograms, so it is not enough for three people and carrying some weapons.

It can only carry at most two people and some individual weapons and equipment.

Liu Xiu naturally tested this rotorcraft himself, and Liu Xiu was naturally very satisfied with the test results. Whether it was the take-off distance, landing distance, or unpowered emergency landing, it was very easy and stress-free.

It's just a pity that the speed is too slow, with a maximum speed of only 150 kilometers per hour. This speed also made Liu Xiu's dream of fighting against the Little Devil's fixed-wing fighter come to nothing.

…………

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Turn off the engine and descend confidently. If I can't kill you, hit the brakes as soon as you hit the ground! Do you hear me!"

It was Liu Xiu who said this. He was currently training his special operations platoon to carry out night-time rotorcraft emergency landing training!

Yes, after Liu Qin took out the first rotorcraft on the third day, Liu Xiu took the soldiers of the special operations platoon to conduct night emergency landing training.

There is no other choice but to conduct emergency landing training at night. If you go there arrogantly during the day, don't worry, even if you are not sieved by the Japs' machine guns, they will still be used as target drones by the Japs' planes.

Fortunately, the characteristics of the rotorcraft also meant that Liu Xiu didn't have to worry about not being able to see the ground at night.

After all, the gyrocopter does not need to taxi when landing, so even if there is a big pit, you don't have to worry about falling into it.

As for how to identify the position and route at night, Liu Xiu also had a compass to solve the problem.
