Chapter 214 Forming the Flying Brigade
Chapter 214 Forming the Flying Brigade
Looking at Harada Akihisa standing in front of him, who was no longer the same as when he was just captured, Gao Hongming asked: "Harada Akihisa, I heard from Ihara Heihachi that you are willing to join the Japanese National Defense Army and promise to serve us. Effectiveness, is that so?"
"Hi..." Harada Akihisa bowed heavily, "I am willing to serve you."
"Not bad!"
Gao Hongming nodded, "I called you here today to tell you one thing. I am going to form a flying unit and I plan to let you serve as an instructor. Are you willing?"
Harada Akihisa raised his head and looked at Gao Hongming in surprise, "My lord, do you want to form a flying unit?"
Seeing Gao Hongming nodded, he hurriedly said: "Master, with all due respect, forming a flying force is not like forming an infantry force. Each person can go to the battlefield with a gun and a box of ammunition. It involves a lot of things. , and it’s very cumbersome. Besides, I’m just an ordinary pilot, so I’m afraid it’s hard for me to be up to the task you entrust me with.”
"idiot!"
Before Gao Hongming could speak, Ihara Heihachi at the side was not happy at first, and immediately reprimanded: "You bastard who can only sit on the plane and throw bombs, what are you talking about? Just do what the adults tell you, and you dare to mention difficulty."
Murata Shuzo's face was not very good-looking. Harada Akihisa's words were like firing a map gun, which made him, an infantry officer, very upset, but Gao Hongming was in front of him, so he refrained from speaking.
Gao Hongming asked back: "Akihisa Harada, I know what you mean. Just tell me, what is needed to train pilots?"
Akihisa Harada thought for a while, "Take me as an example. When I was learning to fly in the flight school, I first learned theoretical knowledge for one year, then I started to learn on the trainer aircraft in the second year, and I was not assigned to various aviation teams until the third year.
Not only that, you also need to build a complete airport, coupled with a large number of logistics support personnel and various cumbersome things such as trainer planes, fighter jets, fuel depots, ammunition depots, aircraft accessories, etc. The money spent by one cadet is at least one cadet's weight in gold, so my lord, are you sure you want to train pilots? "
Hearing this, not only Ihara Heihachi looked ashen, but even Murata Shuzo frowned.
They who were infantrymen really didn't understand that it would take so much time and money to train a pilot.
"Harada Akihisa, you don't have to worry about the material matters, I will take care of them. Now I just want to ask you, if I solve the logistical problems, how long will it take you to train a qualified pilot?"
"Three... no... two years..." Seeing Gao Hongming with a bad face, Akihisa Harada finally changed the time to two years.
"No... I will only give you half a year." Gao Hongming stared at him viciously, "In half a year, as long as you can train a qualified pilot, I will reward you with 100 yuan, ten is 1000 yuan, if you Can train a hundred... Congratulations... After the war is over, you can return to Japan and become a rich man.
But if you can't train at least twenty qualified pilots within half a year, I'll shoot you, understand? "
When Harada Akihisa heard it, cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead, "My lord, half a year is not enough anyway! One year, you give me at least one year."
Gao Hongming was unmoved, "Six months, this time will not change. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, I will shoot you. There is no room for bargaining. This is an order!"
Seeing Gao Hongming's firm expression, Harada Akihisa knew that it would be useless to say more, so he could only agree with a sad face.
Perhaps Harada Akihisa felt that Gao Hongming was messing around, but Gao Hongming also had his own considerations.
Of course he knows that it takes a lot of time to train a pilot, but the problem now is that what he lacks is time.
If it takes three years to train the first batch of pilots step by step, the day lily is cold, so we can only do special things in extraordinary times.
And this is not without precedent. Take Gabreski, another ace pilot of the United States in historical time and space, as an example. He began to participate in primary flight training in August 1940, and advanced flight training in November; in March 8, he was appointed as Second Lieutenant Flight Officer, it took a total of seven months.
It also took seven months for the first batch of female pilots in New China to graduate. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the average flight time of the first batch of pilots in my country was more than 30 hours, and they competed head-to-head with the United States, who was known as the world's number one at that time.
From Gao Hongming's point of view, although six months is a bit urgent, it should be no problem to train a group of pilots with basic combat skills.
And Gao Hongming moved very quickly. Half a month later, on a wasteland less than [-] miles away from Liantai County, an airstrip was finally built under the day and night hard work of the engineering company.
"Shi Feng, have you dug up all the people I asked you to dig?"
In the office of the regiment headquarters, Shi Feng, the director of the investigation department who usually sees his head but never sees his tail, stands respectfully in front of Gao Hongming.
"The delegation, a total of 32 people, are all the ground crew of the Central Air Force. They were all poached, and now they have all been settled at the airport. But none of the pilots you asked me to poach came over, and the Air Force did not treat them well. It’s very hard to see, and it’s hard to get started.”
"If you don't come, you don't come."
Gao Hongming sighed softly. Since the July 77th Incident, China’s only 300-plus aircrafts have been almost exhausted, and most of the pilots have also been killed in battle. The remaining pilots have also been treasured by the Air Force. One can imagine.
Fortunately, this time he only wanted to dig some ground crews. As long as the small money was in place, the difficulty of digging people was not too difficult.
Although he was mentally prepared for the difficulty of forming an air force, Gao Hongming felt the degree of suffering when it was actually done. Whether it is the selection, recruitment or training of personnel, it is completely different from the army.
He was startled when he saw the selection conditions given by Harada Akihisa. First of all, the age should be no less than 17 years old and no more than 20 years old. He also had different requirements for height, weight, sitting height, arm length, body shape, eyesight, and color vision. , Outer eyes, ear, nose and throat and other organs are inspected, and any item that fails is not acceptable.
This alone eliminated more than 90.00% of the people, followed by a political review, at least no criminal history in the family, and finally a psychological test. Only after passing all the above can you become a pilot.
Let's put it this way, in the past half a month, Gao Hongming picked and picked for so long before he selected more than 30 people.
That's all, just the two AT-6 Texan trainers and a series of materials at the airport, including fuel, spare parts and various auxiliary tools, cost him tens of thousands of oceans.
That is to say, the items in the weapon store are only one-tenth of the actual price, otherwise he will have to go bankrupt.
