Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 709 Trainer

Neiji Okamura's report immediately attracted Tokyo's attention.

The reason is very simple. The devil's main focus at this time is Ying Jiang, so Ying Jiang's reinforcement of the Eighth Route Army is no longer a battle against the Eighth Route Army in their eyes, but a battle against Ying Jiang...

Just like Neiji Okamura analyzed in his report: "At this time, Yingjiang chose to reinforce the Eighth Route Army, and there must be a conspiracy. If we can't crush the enemy's conspiracy with a thunderbolt in the early stage, it will be a big disaster in the future! "

Ningji Okamura has been in China for a long time, and he would add a few Chinese idioms to the report from time to time, and the messenger who received his telegram needed to ask the staff to translate it again.

But it doesn't seem to be difficult, and even the educated devils are familiar with Chinese idioms.

Tokyo agrees with Neiji Okamura's judgment.

But at this time, the devil's various fighter planes are very nervous, not to mention that the attack in Southeast Asia requires a large number of fighter planes, and Yingjiang can't relax on the front.

Some people even suspect that this is Ying Jiang's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, the purpose is to disperse the strength of the Imperial Aviation on the Pacific battlefield.

Therefore, Tokyo considered again and again, and instead of transferring the advanced "Zero" fighter to Okamura Ningji, it transferred the Type 96 carrier-based fighter that was used to deal with stubborn troops on the frontal battlefield to North China, and in addition Type 93 and Type 97 bombers.

Neiji Okamura was not satisfied with this, because he believed that the enemy was using Hawker 81 fighter jets. If he wanted to quickly annihilate the enemy, he must have an overwhelming advantage in the number and performance of fighter jets, but the Type 96 ship battle has already shown a slight advantage. Backward, although the performance is not necessarily worse than the Hawk 81, and it also has a numerical advantage, but it does not have an overwhelming advantage.

But after thinking about it for a while, Neiji Okamura accepted it.

Because he believes that bombers should be more important than fighters now... Bombers can destroy the enemy's airport facilities and even blow up enemy fighters on the airport, which is much more efficient than shooting down one by one in air combat.

So Neiji Okamura did not object, but made a request: "I hope that I can get as many bomber reinforcements as possible!"

Tokyo met Okamura Ningji's request. In addition to deploying a bomber team with a total of 36 bombers, it also dispatched two reconnaissance aircraft squadrons composed of 98 light bombs... 98 light bombs can also carry small aerial bombs as It is used by bombers, and because it can dive and bomb for a long time, it has advantages in blowing up enemy fighter planes and airport facilities. Simply put, although its bombs are small in power, they can carry out precise strikes.

The news was soon transferred from intelligence personnel to the Eighth Route Army... This is also due to what Li Yunlong said before using intelligence personnel to improve the early warning time of the airport.

The intelligence personnel were arranged near the airport, so the transfer of the devil's plane was within their control.

This is actually not difficult, you only need to deploy one or two intelligence agents in all directions of the airport, and then register in detail the number and type of fighters flying in and out from that direction.

In the end, when the information is aggregated and calculated against the date, we can know how many planes flew into the airport or how many planes flew out.

This day Wang Xuexin is training with the pilots.

A major problem in training is that there is no trainer plane... The trainer plane may seem unimportant, but it is indispensable for the training of pilots.

The reason is that airplanes are very precious, and it is impossible to let pilots who have not yet mastered some theoretical knowledge climb into the airplane for a test drive. The result of such a game is basically a plane crash.

On the other hand, it is impossible to always let pilots learn theoretical knowledge on the ground.

Driving this thing requires practical operation. No matter how much theoretical knowledge is taught, even if you can memorize the instruments and joysticks by heart, you will find that you are in a hurry and have no clue when you really drive.

The trainer can play a transitional role in it.

Usually it's from a beginner trainer to intermediate to advanced and then to a fighter.

(Note: During World War II, advanced trainer aircraft were often retired models due to backwardness. For example, the Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet in the hands of Neiji Okamura at this time was retired to the Chinese battlefield at the end of 42 because of the Type Zero equipment and returned to China to serve as trainer)

However, the Eighth Route Army does not have any trainer aircraft.

Fortunately, most of the pilots recruited by the Eighth Route Army have flying experience. Although they are all talking about backward models like "Gau Delong", the flight time is not short. Coupled with the guidance of Yingjiang pilots, they directly boarded the Hawker 81 Not a big problem.

The difficulty lies in the fact that among the pilots, there are a small number of foreign students who are "unskilled"... This is the first group recruited by the headquarters, and some of them just take planes as a hobby abroad, and have piloted gliders and small civilian planes , There are even a few who have only driven in the co-pilot seat.

Fortunately, there were not many of these people, only a dozen or so. Major Doug assigned them to another class to start with basic theoretical knowledge, and they were only used as backup pilots.

As for the others, Major Doug began to have a headache for not having a trainer.

He even complained to Wang Xuexin: "Wang, you should ask them (Yingjiang) to send some trainer planes!"

But Wang Xuexin still has an idea: "Can we use wooden stakes to simulate driving?"

This method may not have been used by Yingjiang, because Yingjiang is a local tyrant and has no shortage of trainer aircraft. They can start flying from simple elementary trainer planes. At the same time, Yingjiang has a large base of pilots. A considerable number of pilots will fly before joining the army. , simulating driving with stakes is like child's play house to them.

But this is not the case for Huaxia pilots.

Major Doug thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Good idea, at least this will make them familiar with the positions of the instruments and joysticks!"

It's kind of like learning to drive...

The risk of driving is still low, and a certain period of time is allowed to make mistakes. If you make a slight mistake while flying in the sky, you will not have a second chance if you are not careful. Therefore, you have to practice all kinds of operations on the ground like you can command them.

Although this is still different from actual operation, it is still barely feasible for pilots with flying experience to use this method to make the transition.

"Also!" Wang Xuexin added: "We still have two Devil's Type 99 transport planes, can they be used as trainer planes?"

Li Yueying shook her head and said: "That may not be suitable. Although transport planes are indeed easier to fly, their instruments and joysticks are very different from those of the Hawker 81. Once you get used to driving this kind of transport plane, it will be very difficult to fly." Difficult to adapt to Hawk 81!"

Wang Xuexin thinks about it. People who often use the automatic transmission can't use the manual transmission, let alone the aircraft of different countries.
