Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1826 Choice
Wang Xuexin was not right about one thing. Sun Erwei said that the Japanese "Frank" fighter plane reached a speed of 680 kilometers, which was not a lie to him, but that Yingjiang was not sure what the top speed of the "Frank" fighter plane was at this time.

Because I was not sure, I used the principle of "give leniency to the enemy" to increase his speed, thus changing 640 to 680.

This is a habit that Yingjiang developed after the "Zero War".

Before "Zero War", Yingjiang generally looked down on Japanese fighter planes.

They believe that the Japanese have a weak industrial foundation. Machine tools and the like are imported from Yingjiang, Hans and other countries. Their engines are also imitations, and they lack the ability to independently develop and improve.

Under such circumstances, what good aircraft can the Japanese produce to fight against Eagle Sauce? !
Therefore, in the early days, Yingjiang was very confident when facing the Japanese, especially the Japanese navy. They believed that this kind of combat should be a crushing of strength.

As a result, the fighter planes flew into the sky one after another and never returned. This made Yingjiang completely change his view of the Japanese and adopt a cautious attitude.

When the Japanese developed the "Hast Wind", Yingjiang was influenced by this attitude and thought that the Japanese was not at its optimal level during the test flight, so he added a little more to get to 680.

What Yingjiang didn't expect was that the fighter's top speed of 640 kilometers per hour was falsely high.

640 kilometers is just the paper data of the "Haste" fighter. At this time, the Japanese were accustomed to "falsely reporting their military exploits", so they flew 640 kilometers with the fighter planes in the best condition and without load. As for whether they can achieve this speed in subsequent combat conditions, it is not up to them. Concerned.

In addition, due to the shortage of troops at this time, the Japanese sent a large number of skilled technicians to the battlefield. When it came to producing the "Haste", the yield rate was very low. This caused the "Haste" to have a speed of only 623 kilometers per hour in actual combat, and its practical ceiling was also low. It is not as high as 11000 meters as it boasts, and is still far behind the "La 5".

This is one of the reasons why Wang Xuexin is not too worried: the "J-2" has already come out. Although it is not large in number, it is overwhelming in terms of strength. The "J-1" is slightly better than the latest Japanese fighter... If it doesn't work, just speed up and hide. Air supremacy comes from the "J-2", what is there to be afraid of?

"How is it?" Seeing Wang Xuexin's silence, Sun Erwei thought he was considering his own suggestion: "We are happy to provide your army with advanced fighters and even related technologies. Who makes us your allies?"

The alliance is fake, but it is true to hope that the Eighth Route Army's military industry will go to another dead end... Selling propeller fighter technology to the Eighth Route Army when the world is about to usher in the jet age is not stupid but really bad.

"Sorry, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I think these fighters may not be suitable for China..."

"No, no, you didn't understand, Wang!" Sun Erwei said with a smile: "The technology we plan to sell to you is not for the 'Wildcat' fighter aircraft. The carrier-based aircraft can be a 'Hellcat', and the land fighter aircraft can be a new 'Mustang' , if you are interested..."

Wang Xuexin knew what Sun Erwei meant by the "new 'Wild Horse'".

In fact, there was nothing outstanding about the early "Mustang" fighter. However, after 1942, Yingjiang and Sunset cooperated to replace the "Mustang" with a Merlin engine. This allowed the "Mustang" fighter to greatly increase its speed and also achieve an astonishing range. of 2755 kilometers.

"Think about it, 2755 kilometers!" Sun Erwei emphasized: "Its range is even comparable to the Japanese's 'Zero War'. As long as you are equipped with this fighter plane, you can be said to be invincible in the Northeast. It can traverse the entire Northeast and protect you." coastline, with it it means the war will be over!”

This is indeed a very tempting statement, especially in terms of range, which is comparable to "zero combat". This can be said to be the key to the Eighth Route Army Air Force... The Eighth Route Army's fighters have always had the problem of insufficient range, including the range of the "J-2". Not to the point where I can fly with confidence.

But the Mustang can do it.

"Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin pretended to be embarrassed: "I really want and hope that this war will end, but you know, our industry cannot support such an advanced fighter..." "We can Help you!" Sun Erwei replied confidently.

"No, no..." Wang Xuexin shook his head and laughed at himself: "Do you know why we chose the 'Wildcat' and the 'La 5'? That's because they are relatively simpler. The fighters you mentioned are not suitable for us. It’s too difficult. We must start from the simple learning, otherwise even if you are willing to teach and help, we will not be able to learn. There is a saying in China that ‘you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.’ We don’t dare to force it until we reach that level!”

Wang Xuexin's words confused Sun Erwei: "I didn't understand, Wang! Even if you don't understand now, don't you want to defeat the enemy?"

"We are defeating the enemy!"

"But you are likely to face a crisis soon..."

Wang Xuexin didn't explain any more. He ended the conversation in a hurry: "You will understand later. Thank you for your kindness, Sun Erwei!"

Wang Xuexin does not want to reveal too much, because this is very important for the suddenness of the battle in the near future.

However, Wang Xuexin found that it was difficult to keep the "J-2" secret any longer.

Because the war situation is now approaching, the 5th Air Group needs a period of time to conduct adaptive training during the day.

It’s not a problem to always train at night. The real fight is during the day. The sunlight, environment, pursuit targets, etc. are different. Especially pursuit training cannot be carried out at night... If pursuit training can be carried out, it means that the "J-2" has night combat. Able.

However, once the "J-2" flies into the air during daytime training, especially from the Taiyuan Auto Repair Factory, the existence of this Eighth Route Army fighter is no longer a secret.

After sending Sun Erwei away, Wang Xuexin was troubled by this issue:
Training during the day cannot be kept secret.

Although not training during the day can keep things secret, it will cause the pilots to have a serious lack of actual combat experience, and it may be difficult to even perform a maneuver.

This is no small matter. You must know that there are only 2 "J-2s" until now, and the other 5 will be completed next week. In total, only 7 can participate in the war.

The number is too small to form a batch effect, and the training is still insufficient... Maybe it will not give the Japanese a sudden battle, but it will make them lose their wives and lose their troops to make a big red face!

But what can we do?

Wang Xuexin's first consideration was to open a new airport in an inaccessible place and fly the "J-2" to the dense forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains for training after transitioning at night.

But this is not a good way.

This was during wartime. Even in the Greater Khingan Mountains, there were Japanese reconnaissance and infiltration troops. Things flying in the air could not be hidden from them. If one were not careful, the airport would be blown up by the Japanese infiltration troops...
