Bright Sword starts with the grenade flat.

Chapter 211 Not an inch is redundant
In fact, aircraft that can take off and land on water have appeared very early.

The most famous one during World War II was a seaplane called Catalina. Of course, this aircraft was also the name developed by Milo.

Therefore, a large number of seaplanes at this time are naturally the famous Catalina amphibious aircraft.

The length of the Catalina seaplane reaches 19 meters, the wing width reaches 31 meters, and its height is more than six meters. The maximum take-off weight can reach 16 tons, which is as heavy as some small bombers. .

However, in order to be able to fly on water, a boat-like thing was installed on the fuselage, so the aerodynamic shape is not very good, so the maximum flight speed is only 310 kilometers per hour. Such a speed They are living targets in front of those six or seven hundred propeller fighters.

Therefore, such aircraft can only serve as water rescue missions or bombing missions without air threats.

However, it is a pity that there are many seaplanes coming, but very few can be rescued. Being able to stay in water less than 10 degrees Celsius for ten minutes is already very good, but it is still very difficult to stay there for more than half an hour. difficult.

So it seems that the current water rescue mission is not very qualified. After all, the speed is too slow. If the speed can be faster and earlier, more people may be saved.

That's right, it's not that no one was rescued. Many people who jumped into the sea with lifebuoys were rescued.

Of course, after Liu Xiu succeeded in another attack, the American army was really angry, so the large bomber B29 took off. The purpose of the operation was naturally to use retaliatory bombing.

So in the absence of aircraft, the Saber wants to serve as an escort fighter for the B29. What a dream!
The B29 bomber, with a speed of only more than 29 kilometers per hour, is a living target in front of the Peregrine fighter jet, which travels at more than twice the speed of sound. Not to mention the Peregrine fighter jet, even sending a wooden Cricket fighter jet can intercept the B bomber.

Because of their range, these three B29 bombers were not escorted by the short-legged Saber jet fighters. The aircraft fleet that had just come to support was sunk by Liu Xiu, so how could they escort them.

You must know that the maximum combat radius of the B29 can reach more than kilometers, and the maximum flight distance can reach kilometers!
And what about the Saber fighter planes! Without the auxiliary fuel tank, its range is only slightly better than that of the Peregrine Falcon, which can reach one thousand kilometers. Even with the auxiliary fuel tank attached, its combat radius is only 750 kilometers.

It's just a pity that because Liu Xiu has a super-latitude radar that maps friends and foes, the three bombers were intercepted by Liu Xiu as soon as they flew over Xiangao.

So after Liu Xiu dispatched three Peregrine fighters, the three B29 bombers were shot down simply. After all, even a large bomber with a length of more than meters and a wingspan of more than meters could not resist it. Thirty-seven millimeter cannon.

It only took a few rounds to make it fall. As for the twelve 29mm heavy machine guns used for defense on the B bomber, they were just decorations. The range was not as far as the mm cannon, but the power was much greater. No, so in an era without air-to-air missiles, large-caliber cannons are the best choice.

In fact, what Liu Xiu didn't know was why the Mi Army chose to use bombers to carry out retaliatory bombing. Liu Xiu delivers express here.

However, it is a pity that the bomber delivering the courier was intercepted by Liu Xiu before it reached its destination. Therefore, the threat prepared by the Mi army was naturally not published. After all, it would be useless if it was published. This bombing was again It didn’t work. If I published it, wouldn’t I be slapping myself in the face?
As a time traveler, Liu Xiu was naturally not dazzled by this glorious victory. Liu Xiu, who was well aware of the powerful military strength of the Mi Army, or rather the industrial strength of Mi Ruo, began to write hurriedly to propose his other plan of war to the superiors. Come. In this plan, Liu Xiu said that their main opponent was Mi Tuo anyway, so there was actually no difference between beating on this half-pound and beating on that pound.

However, Liu Xiu also knew that it was impossible to produce large-tonnage warships or troop transports under today's industrial conditions. Moreover, according to the display on the map of enemies and friends, Liu Xiu had set up firepower points at various places suitable for beach landings, so Adopting the old method of beach landing will undoubtedly cause huge casualties. When the time comes and the landing ship is destroyed, it will really make you blind.

Liu Xiu also thought of a good way to deal with this, that is, not to seize the beach to log in, but to manufacture rotorcraft on a large scale, and then use rotorcraft to transport troops.

After all, one gyroplane can carry three people at a time, and 10,000 gyroplanes can carry 30,000 people!
Moreover, gyroplane transportation is much faster than ships, and a distance of 100 kilometers can be reached in one hour at most.

And in one night, at least five round trips can be made, so excluding the driver, at least 100,000 people can land on the island to fight in one night.

With one hundred thousand elites and the absolute air superiority of the Peregrine Falcon, it is conceivable that even if the opponent has a team of five to six million people, it is not impossible to defeat them.

However, if there are 20,000 rotary-wing aircraft used to transport troops and more than 200,000 elites are sent up in one night, then I believe that the certainty will naturally be greater.

Of course, the most critical thing is the aerial three-bouncer, especially the wooden aerial three-bouncer. Its cost is extremely low. The entire machine, except for the engine which is made of metal, is all made of wooden materials.

Moreover, the manufacturing method of this two-stroke engine is also very simple, and Liu Xiu also made suggestions on the method of large-scale manufacturing of rotorcraft. For example, the wooden structure can be directly outsourced and removed, allowing carpenters from all over the country to create uniform sizes. The parts are finally collected together for assembly.

In this way, the factory only needs to produce the engine and be responsible for assembly, which can save a lot of time.

After all, at this time, there were not many carpenters in that village! Otherwise, how can we get the windows of the houses in the village and the plows and other agricultural tools for plowing the fields?

And Liu Xiu also wrote at the end of this thick battle plan, "Although the land is large, not an inch is redundant!" '

As soon as this plan came out, within a few days, Liu Xiu's opinion on the expansion of the air force was agreed, and carpenters everywhere began to get busy.

However, the production tasks in Liu Xiu's steel rolling mill have not increased, because the production tasks of the two-stroke engines were handed over to other factories by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu's steel rolling mill now only has one task, which is to produce at full capacity. Peregrine fighter jet.

After all, the Peregrine Falcon is the main fighter to ensure air superiority. If there is no absolute advantage, it is extremely irrational to engage in a war of attrition with the American army.
