Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 352 Dress Up
A certain combat-readiness airport in Shengjing, an empty group.

"Comrades!" Regiment commander Wei Yongguo shouted, and all 40 pilots in the regiment stood at attention!

"Take a break!"

"Today, our Air Force 1st Regiment will usher in an important day in history." Wei Yongguo did not hesitate and went straight to the point. "Our Air Force 1st Regiment, as the first unit to enter the Korean War, is letting everyone stay away from the front line today, not to let everyone come back to rest, but to accept a glorious and great new mission!"

"We will receive the first batch of J-5A jet fighters equipped with new radar and combat weapons in the history of the Republic and continue to fight in the blue sky to win more victories for the motherland! Do you have confidence?"

"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"

"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"

Although there were only about 40 people in the field, the voices that burst from the bottom of their hearts resounded through the sky!
"Very good, next everyone will get familiar with their new partners. Three days later, we will return to the front line. On the way back, we will conduct actual combat training with brother units. There are no rules for this training. If the comrade driving the J-5A cannot bite the opponent's tail and lock the fire control radar within 10 minutes, it will be judged as a loss. The loser will swap units with the opponent. Did you hear clearly?" Wei Yongguo's words cheered up the officers and soldiers of the Air Force st Regiment!
"I heard it clearly!" Although they were alert in their hearts, they still answered loudly with full confidence.

"Okay, no more words, disband!" Following the order from the regiment commander, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment quickly ran towards their new partner - a brand new J-5A jet fighter!

The Air Force Regiment No. 3 has three flight squadrons, each with three squadrons, and each squadron has four fighters, which is just enough to form two groups of leader and wingman. In addition to the separate captain and deputy captain and the commander and deputy commander, the regiment has a total of 3 regular pilots, 4 reserve pilots, and 44 new J-6A jet fighters.

In normal combat mode, the 22st Air Regiment will form combat teams to fight. This is the most important tactic since the establishment of the Longguo Air Force. It was originally intended to bring the old together with the new. After many actual combat operations, it was found that this tactic is very practical. In the big stage of the sky, no matter how many enemies there are, after long-term practice and forming a tacit understanding of tactics, the enemy can be pulled away to form a local advantage.

Just like Li Yunlong and his men are the army's demonstration construction unit, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Regiments are the elite of the 1st Air Division passed down from the Air Force's Divine Eagle Squadron. They have always been flying the best fighter planes and fighting the toughest battles.

The First Air Regiment is the latest unit equipped with J-5 fighters. In previous battles, they have achieved the brilliant result of shooting down hundreds of Rogue Eagle bombers!

I originally thought that such fighter jets were already at their peak, but who would have thought that they would be forced to drive these precious J-5 fighter jets back to the second line for a replacement and update them to the latest generation.

There is a detailed manual for the newly added display screen and new weapon system in the cockpit. Every pilot who boards the plane will open the manual first and start comparing it with his new aircraft one by one. For these old hands, classroom teaching is not as good as field learning.

Takeoff, landing and machine guns have not changed. In order to avoid pilot misoperation, a new button is installed separately for the new missile launch, so as to avoid confusion with the previous fire button.

"Detect enemy fighter planes 20 kilometers in advance?" It was also the first time for Wei Yongguo to see a fighter plane with a display. After reading the instruction manual in one breath, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

In this way, they are like having an extra pair of clairvoyant eyes, and can detect the enemy in advance.

Although the radar can distinguish between friendly and foe targets in the air, after a new communication system is installed, it will automatically emit radio signals for identification when it detects a target. If the opponent does not respond to the friendly or foe identification signal, the enemy's logo will be shown on the display.

Looking at these new functions, Wei Yongguo couldn't wait to fly up to the sky to try them out. However, like all the pilots under him, each pilot was required to be familiar with all the operations on the ground before being allowed to fly!

So Wei Yongguo had to put away his anxious mood and began to carefully consider the new function buttons and related functions.

After half a day of field learning and demonstration operations on the ground, Wei Yongguo confirmed that he had learned the basic operations and took the lead in applying to the tower for takeoff.

Three days passed in a flash.

Every pilot in the 1st Air Regiment was like taking bee shit and a power pill. After three days of adaptability tests, they have all figured out how to use the new equipment and have practiced new tactics. They are all learning at the risk of their lives.

They even turned off the IFF system and conducted several irregular attack and defense exercises in the sky. Facing a familiar opponent, they had to try their best to have a chance to achieve radar lock for a tail attack.

The performance of jet fighters is completely different from that of propeller fighters in terms of speed. It is not easy to bite the opponent's tail. In the irregular exercises of the Air Force First Regiment, only less than one-third of the pilots had bitten the opponent's tail.

At the same time, these pilots are also masters at escaping, and the probability of them being targeted by their opponents is much lower than their peers!

In particular, the regiment commander Wei Yongguo successfully bit the opponent's tail three times, without being bitten by anyone even once. After all, Comrade Wei has been flying Mustang fighter jets since he started with the Condor Squadron. So far, he has achieved 18 victories, making him one of the few ace pilots in the Condor Squadron with more than double the number of victories!

So when the three days were up, Wei Yongguo sent a telegram to his superiors, saying that he had become familiar with the new equipment and requested to return to the base!

Air Force 1st Division.

Chen Shusheng looked at the telegram sent by Wei Yongguo and said to his deputy Liu Zhiming, "Old Liu, Old Wei is really impatient. He can't stay here for just three days. It's no use asking them to get familiar with the new equipment. What do you think? Are you interested in leading the team to teach him another lesson?"

Chen Shusheng and Liu Zhiming were the first people in the border area to drive tanks. But later when they heard about fighter planes, they persuaded each other to switch careers and join the aviation class. They eventually became the first generation of the Divine Eagle Squadron and made their mark. The two of them became the first ace combination of the Divine Eagle Squadron with two planes and five aircraft.

As the Divine Eagle Squadron expanded, the two men rose from squadron leader and squadron leader to their current positions as the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders of the 1st Air Division, and their personal combat records also exceeded double digits.

The Divine Eagle Squadron does not care about seniority, everything is based on military achievements. Of course, it is not absolutely determined by the ranking of combat records, but if you are a regiment commander and you don’t even have 5 combat records, you would be embarrassed to sit in the position.

"Okay, this kid has risen in the personal rankings after shooting down several Rogue Eagle bombers recently. I think he's a little too proud, so it's right to give them a warning. I'll lead the Second Air Regiment into the air to get a feel for the new equipment. It's said that this is good stuff. With epoch-making new equipment such as radar fire control and air-to-air missiles, the powerful combat effectiveness of jet fighters can be truly unleashed. Although jet fighters are powerful nowadays, their fighting methods are not fundamentally different from those of propeller fighters. They still have the upper hand in maneuverability, but in terms of range and combat endurance, they pale in comparison to the P51D. They are very useful as short-range air interception fighters for quick battles, but I don't see how they can be an overwhelmingly advantageous fighter." Liu Zhiming said with a smile.
