New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() That evening, Ron took a C-47 transport plane and landed at an airport code-named "Crow's Nest" near Portsmouth.This is an airport with two main runways, and on both sides of the two main runways, there is also a spare dirt runway.Aircraft can also take off and land from these dirt runways in case of emergency.

About four or five kilometers away from "Crow's Nest", there is another airport under construction near a forest, which is almost exactly the same as "Crow's Nest". Originally, that airport should be completed at the same time as here, but it is a kind of prediction Other circumstances caused the construction period to be delayed.A large colony of wild rabbits lived there, and they would often burrow in the ground, especially the spare dirt runway, and roam the runway.As a result, the project had to be temporarily stopped, and then let the workers start to erect rabbit-proof nets around the entire construction site to prevent other rabbits from entering; In a bloody massacre, they used dogs, shot bullets, and even crossed the bottom line to attack the unarmed hares with chemical weapons.

After a week of bloody massacres, the hare problem was finally settled.But later, when the airport was in use, hares came out to make trouble from time to time, so that the mission support department had to prepare a small team of hounds.But that's all for later.

When Ron landed, it was already sunset on the mountain. The c-47 taxied to the side of the apron, where many p-81 fighter jets were already parked.Ron got off the c-47, and an open jeep was already waiting here.Ron walked over.

"General Ron, welcome!" A familiar voice sounded.

Ron took a closer look and found that the guy sitting in the driver's seat was actually Boynton.

"Hey, Dad!" Ron sat down on the co-pilot's seat, stretched out his fist and tapped him lightly on the shoulder, "When did you come back to England?"

"Two days earlier than you!" Poynton paused, and then deliberately said in a showy tone, "I flew back directly across the European continent in the P-81, and killed another unlucky German plane on the way. Hehe, I have already shot down 46 enemy planes... Moreover, the war is not over yet, and I still have a chance to shoot down more enemy planes. It won't be long before I can get more than twice as many enemy planes as you. "

"Ah, Dad, I don't want to discourage you, but..." Ron deliberately drew his voice.

"But what?" Boyington said with a smile.

"I let you show off in front of me!" Ron put on a vicious look, "Believe it or not, I will let you fly a b-25 in the future!"

"Our alliance doesn't have b-25s." Poington didn't care.

"There will be in the future, and, even now, I can arrange you to be the tail machine gunner of the PA-38!"

"Ron! You are naked jealousy!" Poynton immediately put on a serious expression, staring at Ron with wide eyes.It's a pity that Ron was unmoved, and even followed Boynton's example and widened his eyes.

"Oh, sir, you can't do this! You can't treat a loyal old friend like this!" Poynton immediately changed his face and put on a pitiful look, "Sir, have pity on me! You are like this Your kindness, do you have the heart to deprive me of my last joy in this world?"

"Don't be so disgusting!" Ron scolded with a smile, "A man with a big beard and acting like a woman like this makes me want to throw up. Don't worry, I won't let you touch b-25. b-25 Much more expensive than the p-81, just a guy like you, go up and fiddle with it, and the people in the maintenance brigade will fight me desperately... without starting the car!"

Boyington smiled, started the car, and the car drove along the tarmac toward the tower.After driving less than 20 meters, Boyington suddenly stopped the car, pointed to a P-81 fighter jet, and said to Ron, "Ron, did you see that? That plane is my plane."

Ron looked in the direction that Boynton pointed, and he saw a p-81 parked not far away.The rays of the sun made it red.Ron could clearly see that under the cockpit of the plane, densely packed with skulls wearing German helmets.The painters are quite meticulous.

"Harry drew this for you? Has this dude shot 42?" Ron laughed. <(river crab) palace. "

"We may have the opportunity to go to Tokyo in the future. At that time, he will be able to paint vigorously."

……

In the base office, Ron met Lieutenant Colonel Thomson Baker, who was going to be the captain of the Wing Maintenance Team.And the captain of the medical brigade, Jimmy Dirk.Ron knew from the information that Lieutenant Colonel Thomson Baker was 45 years old this year, but when Ron saw him, he found that he looked very old.It seems that it is not much smaller than Colonel Clark Speer.On the other hand, Kurit is an old man in his sixties. He looks very serious and doesn't seem to like talking very much. Looking at his tense face, Ron can't help but wonder if he has facial paralysis like Li Mei (Li Mei has facial paralysis). The problem of nerve necrosis, so it is difficult to express).

In this way, the new alliance captain and the three captains met together.Everyone introduced each other, and then Ron started to find out how each unit in the wing was in place.

"General, 12 pilots and 12 P-81s from the US-Soviet Joint Air Force are in place," Poynton said, "There are another 20 brand new P-81s in place, just new pilots Not yet fully in place, there are only 7 new fighter pilots coming to report, all of whom have just graduated from 'Inverse Cross', and the rest will arrive within these two days. In addition, one of the two attack aircraft squadrons The pilots are already in place, but, damn it! The planes are still waiting to be loaded on the other side of the ocean. It is said that these PA-38s will take at least a week to arrive." Boyington first reported the situation of the flight team to Ron Made a report.

"Dad, how do you think the training of those attack pilots should be arranged now?" Ron asked.

"For the time being, we can only arrange some basic training for them." Poington said, "Fortunately, these facilities still exist. In addition, we still have 6 F4-A (photographic reconnaissance model of P-38), which can also take It was used for training. Of course, the flight performance of this thing must be very different from that of the PA-38, but considering that the new aircraft will arrive in another week, I think this is enough."

"Not bad!" Ron nodded, agreeing with Boynton's arrangement.

"So what's the situation with the maintenance team?" Ron continued to ask.

"General, all the equipment of the maintenance brigade is in place, and only one-third of the personnel are in place now. The personnel from the two foreign countries are still familiar with the maintenance of the new aircraft at home. They will come with those new aircraft. But the existing personnel , there is no problem in maintaining the ordinary strength of the existing aircraft. Of course, if you plan to launch a large-scale offensive operation this week, general, we will be under great pressure." Lieutenant Colonel Thomson Baker replied explain.

"I don't have such a plan yet, you can rest assured." Ron replied with a smile.

"As for the ground support," Colonel Clark Speer took the initiative to speak, "like Ron, I just arrived today, so I can't tell you what's going on today. From what I've learned before, the mission support team Its personnel and equipment should be the most complete of the three brigades. But the specific situation will not be explained until I know more about it tomorrow.”

"I have the least number of people. Now the equipment of the medical brigade is basically in place, but the installation and commissioning of some equipment has not been completed. It will take about three to five days. As for the personnel, the doctors are all there, but the nurses are not yet in place. Unexpectedly, after three days, all personnel can be in place."

"Can anyone tell me about the base?" Ron asked.

"General, let me tell you about this." A major named Truu replied, "The base has two airfields, and the straight-line distance between the airfields is five kilometers. Now the airfield we are in has been completed. Yes, this airport has two main runways, the lengths are 2000 meters and 2500 meters respectively, and the width is 35 meters. The main runway is paved with large rocks, paved with gravel in the middle, and then paved with reinforced concrete. The thickness of the concrete layer It is 40 centimeters, which can take off and land all our fighter jets and attack planes with a full load. The longer runway can allow all heavy bombers to take off and land under light load conditions. There are four strips of the same length and width beside the main runway. The 25-meter soil runway can ensure that all fighter jets and attack aircraft take off and land with a full load, and it can also ensure that medium-sized transport aircraft such as the C-47 take off and land with a light load.

There is a tower at the airport, 25 meters high, and the equipment in the tower has been installed.It can guarantee the connection with 5 fleets at the same time.There is also a dormitory for pilots, which has already been renovated. In addition, the canteen, rest room, hangar, and warehouse have also been put into use.The airfield is now ready to support combat operations if the need arises. Trudeau paused, and went on:

"As for the airport over there, the project is delayed due to some reasons. I'm afraid the project will take another week to complete, and at least half a month before it can be fully put into use. I hope this delay will not bring you too much trouble, General. Trouble. In addition, I also want to remind that the ground handling department that will be deployed at that airport in the future should have a few hunting dogs..."
