Chapter 590: Runway Completed

Su Dao chose to build the airport at this time, and it was still about a thousand kilometers deep behind the enemy, which really caused a headache for the engineers.

Although a brigade of airborne troops was sent to protect them, the feeling of going deep into the enemy's rear was obviously different from before. Even working while staring at the artillery fire was much better than this feeling.

No one knows when a bullet will suddenly come out and kill him, so working in this environment, the pressure on the soldiers is still great.

Furthermore, the project is also very difficult. First, they do not have professional construction equipment. Concrete runways like this have high requirements for various aspects, and professional equipment must be used, otherwise there will be various problems. The problem.

Although some equipment was brought over, those equipment could only play a certain role and could not fundamentally solve the problem.

Heavy equipment such as road rollers and forklifts cannot be transported, so in this regard, the soldiers are also very entangled.

Second, it is very difficult to dig a runway due to the ice and snow here. Secondly, the weather is too cold, the concrete cannot solidify at all, and even mixing cement is still a problem.

The construction of an airport is such a huge project that all the materials need to be airlifted from thousands of kilometers behind. This kind of cost is absolutely huge.

The load capacity of a transport plane is so large. It takes nearly [-] sorties for cement, large sand and stones alone, plus steel bars and equipment, etc., and at least [-] sorties of transport planes are needed to complete this. project.

"Third brother, what should we do? The weather conditions are too bad. It is impossible to start work at all."

With a cigarette in his mouth and an iron pick in his hand, a captain knocked hard on the ground, and the response was a cold echo, even the ground had become stronger than bricks.

In this case, there is no possibility of construction. In fact, it is not suitable to build a house in winter. Building materials are the most vulnerable in winter. Even if they are built, the degree of condensation of lime is not good. It is easy to cause the house to collapse.

Not to mention that the dynamic rolling will have to withstand the take-off and landing of dozens of tons of fighter planes.J-[-]'s requirements for the runway are no worse than the quality of the house.Even more strict than him.

The take-off distance of the J-400's empty plane is 400 meters. What is the standard for this empty plane?No ammunition was carried, not even shells for the cannon, and the mailbox was only half full of fuel.In this case [-] meters.

If filled with fuel and shells.Equipped with a Chinese sword air-to-ground missile.Then his take-off distance is 470 meters. If it is a modified nuclear bomb, the take-off distance will reach about 510 meters to 540 meters.

And according to the full load of cannon shells and half of the fuel.The distance required for landing is 500 meters, that is to say, the runway they are about to build must be at least 600 meters long, and the width must be between 60 and [-] meters.

Of course, this is mainly the runway built for the J-[-], and all other fighters will stand aside. It would be a waste of resources to use such a runway like the J-[-].

However, the length of the runway they built cannot be exactly 600 meters. It must be extended to 1000 meters, or 500 meters.

After all, taking off at 470 meters is to drive the engine to the maximum, which will damage the fighter itself. Under normal circumstances, no one would do that. Anyway, it is just a little more taxiing distance, and it is not a big deal.

It doesn't mean that the enemy plane is already approaching the sky above the airport, and the fighter plane needs to take off as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, the current run of the Imperial China Air Force Base is generally a circle with a radius of 3000 to 4000 meters.

Although there is no runway, the above is well documented. If the conditions are right, some lawns will be planted. This is also a common practice in air force airports during World War II.

"Build a house and make the construction site indoors. Let's build a few more fires inside and use the fires to increase the temperature in the room. You take someone to measure the data first. I'll go to Brigadier Meng to discuss something. Then follow up and ask for something else."

Huang Dashan thought for a while and said firmly.

Completing the construction of the airport within one month is very difficult with the current manpower. This is simply an impossible task. If you want to build it quickly, you must build a house, even if it is a simple steel structure or Anything else will do.

They had to increase the internal temperature so that the concrete could solidify, otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

Soon, Huang Dashan found Meng Dezhu, the brigade commander of the airborne brigade, and explained to him the situation on the engineer side. Although Meng Dezhu felt a little pressure, he had no choice but to focus on the tasks of the engineers. I had no choice but to back down and fully cooperate with the work of the engineering brothers.

In this way, Huang Dashan drew two regiments from the airborne brigade, and regarding the arrangement of these two regiments, he also told them straightforwardly that to cut trees in the woods, the diameter of the trees must be [-] centimeters Above, the shortest length should be about four meters.

Now the conditions are not allowed, and it is not the rear. He does not have so much steel to use. If it is in the rear, he will directly build the steel structure. But the situation is different now, and the steel in the rear cannot be shipped in large quantities.

After finishing these, Huang Dashan began to contact the rear, on the one hand, to ask for support, hoping that the engineering corps would send an engineering battalion to help, and at the same time, let the engineering corps be responsible for coordination, they needed a lot of canvas.

Originally, Huang Dashan wanted to use iron sheets, but considering the inconvenience of iron sheet transportation, it would greatly waste the air force's transport capacity, and at the same time, it would also cause great inconvenience to their construction.

Moreover, this thing is also disposable. If the iron sheet is removed at that time, it will definitely be thrown here. It is better to ask for canvas directly. The effect is the same, and it is convenient to take away when you leave.

There is no need for anything that is too warm here. What he needs is to build a large tent that prevents the cold wind from blowing in. As for the inside, there is a continuous source of fire to generate temperature, as long as it is kept at a certain temperature. .

If it is not enough, he can also use two layers of canvas to cover it, and keep the cold air outside as much as possible.

In this way, the next day, a battalion of engineering reinforcements arrived at the construction site by transport plane. This airport was built by Su Dao himself. Although everyone didn't know what it was going to be used for, no one dared to be sloppy, no matter how bad the conditions were. Difficult, they have to do their best to complete.

At the same time, under the command and help of the engineers, the soldiers of the two airborne brigades who were in charge of helping put the cut sticks in their respective positions according to the requirements.

The only difficulty is that digging holes and burying sticks is quite embarrassing. It took two regiments and half an engineer battalion to complete the work, and all the day was spent on digging holes. .

As for tree cutting, it didn't waste much time. There are more than 7000 people in the two regiments. It takes about half an hour to cut down a tree. This is already carried out in a leisurely manner. The soldiers started from the afternoon the day before yesterday , It only took one afternoon to cut down thousands of trees that meet the requirements.

After finishing these things, the sky gradually began to darken. The daylight here is not long, so it is normal for it to get dark before the start of work.

From the third day, the paratroopers of the two regiments liberated one regiment, and the remaining regiment continued to help. After another day, a complete shelf was finally set up.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the canvas that Huang Dashan asked for was finally delivered. It took two days for Huang Dashan to command his troops to complete the construction of the temporary tent. It should be noted that the temporary tent was built here. Tents have very high requirements for the top.

Because the snow is heavy, if the top is not strong, it will cause the tent to collapse.

After the tent was set up, fires were lit inside the tent. The scale of each fire was not large, but there were many in number.

Because it is a canvas tent, if the fire is too big, it is easy to ignite the canvas. Although the canvas is not easy to ignite, there are always exceptions.

In this way, the 1000-meter-long and 70-meter-wide holding tent was filled with thousands of fires, and the temperature inside the tent instantly rose a lot.

After one night, the ground began to melt slowly, and the ground began to become muddy. Seeing this scene, Huang Dashan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being muddy is not terrible. What is terrible is that it is the same as yesterday, without any difference.

Seeing this, Huang Dashan no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the troops to start working. For a while, the brothers from the two engineering battalions began to clean up the soil on the ground, and then a group of several people used trucks to go back and forth on the cleared runway. Press, and the ground will be hardened.

Then manually piling, because there is no equipment, so this is the only way to do it.

Three days later, after 72 hours of busy work, the soldiers of the two battalions came in rotation, and even the resting airborne brigade was brought in to help, and finally the foundation was laid in three days.

Then it is to spread lime, continue to push, build steel mesh, spread it on the ground, pour concrete, porcelain it, put steel mesh again, continue pouring concrete, repeat three times, the basic project is finally completed, on the surface The work does not require so many people to carry out.

Half of the people were in charge of the surface, and the rest began to increase the fire, trying to increase the temperature inside the tent as much as possible.

During this period, we need to keep sprinkling water, otherwise it will be easy to crack. Fortunately, the temperature in the house is not low, otherwise, where to sprinkle water?It's all frozen.

In this way, on the last day of the one-month deadline, the runway was finally built, and then the temporary tent outside was only needed to be dismantled, and the runway of this airport was considered usable.

As for the tower, forget it, there is no way to build it under such conditions, so it will be used. (To be continued..)
