The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Someone accompanied him to chat about interesting topics, Zhu Bin simply left the boring drawing work, thinking about finding an opportunity to continue to let the robot do it for him, and accompany the two young pilots to brag about everything.

Robert Short is 27 years old this year. After retiring from the Army Air Corps, he joined Boeing the year before last. He came to China this time to promote the 218 destroyer. He just arrived in Shanghai just in time for the war between China and Japan. As a heroic pilot, he was worried that he would have no chance. Show it, whether it is your own ability or the performance of the aircraft.After hastily assembled, the two fighter planes ran into a Japanese plane taking off from Gongda Spinning Factory to Suzhou to investigate the bombing shortly after taking off from Hongkou Airport. A little damage landed safely.

Gong Lang is a little interesting kid. He was born in Chinese and American mixed race. He liked to play with machinery since he was a child. When he was 14 years old, he took advantage of his father who was spraying the farm without paying attention. He climbed into the biplane and staggered up. time,

It’s been five years now, and I originally wanted to join the army, but unexpectedly he was severely discriminated against because of his mixed-race identity. The farmer of my father was bankrupted by the sudden Great Depression, so he sold iron and borrowed a sum of money to buy this He intends to take advantage of the Sino-Japanese conflict to join the army. On the one hand, he can fulfill Gonglang's wish, and on the other hand, he can earn a high salary to support his family. By the way, he can get promoted and get rich.

Zhu Bin gave a thumbs up in admiration after hearing this, this old man is too talented!The idea of ​​co-authoring is almost the same as my own!

With nothing to do, Zhu Bin began to brag about various air combat skills to the two of them. He is a space trash guy with rich experience in outer space combat, and his activities in the atmosphere are limited to theory, but he has countless simulated driving combat experiences. It sounds like a set, with all kinds of actions, coordination, tactics, etc., which made the two of them stunned for a while, but at the same time, they also gained a lot!It's just that I don't understand some things, such as radar, radio, air early warning command, etc. It seems that I have never heard of it!

Encountered these problems, Zhu Bin hurriedly hesitated, only said that this is a secret research and development project of the Naval Institute of Technology, and the product will take some time to come out.

In any case, we got along very happily. At noon on February 2th, the battle in Shanghai broke out again. The total strength of the two sides has exceeded 20. The battlefield stretches from Zhabei to Wusong. , beat the sky and the earth dark!On the Chinese side, the Fifth Army, the Nineteenth Route Army, and the Tax Police Regiment risked their lives to resist, killing all of Kenkichi Ueda's plans and failing to succeed!

And Liu Banxia also came to Jiading with the truck, and delivered all the supplies that Zhu Bin asked for——speaking of which, this kid has been numb to the container gods and ghosts, so he just obeyed the order no matter what .

Everything was ready, Zhu Bin rolled up his sleeves and went to battle in person, dismantling Gong Lang's plane to pieces, watching the two twitch their faces, their flesh hurts!If this can't be pretended, Gong Lang can only stay and rely on Zhu Bin to eat.

But Zhu Bin can’t let these aborigines underestimate him. As a senior garbage man, refurbishing second-hand goods is a basic skill. He didn’t see that the 200-meter-long garbage ship was designed by him himself and replaced parts from the garbage mountain. Assembled it?With such great power, modifying an airplane is a trivial matter!

He doesn't care about the movement of the landing gear or anything else, and the engine cover needs to extend the main shaft, which is not easy for the time being. Only a set of turbochargers are installed to increase the power from the original 450 horsepower to a peak of 600 horsepower. From the standard 253 kilometers per hour to 310 kilometers per hour, the payload is increased by 20%. The problem is that the original organic mechanism will tremble when flying at full speed, and it may disintegrate after a long time!

Another change is the flight seat. After being removed from the fuselage, a mechanical explosive bolt and a gunpowder directional ejection device are installed at the bottom, plus a bulletproof titanium alloy plate. Several defensive points around the cabin have also added bulletproof plates, which increases the weight. A few tens of kilograms, but it does not affect the overall performance.

Zhu Bin secretly complained while changing: "The price of these titanium alloy plates alone is more expensive than the plane!" However, he didn't care too much.

Another major change is the two Browning m1919 heavy machine guns in front of the cockpit (the above text is incorrect, not on the wings), and the ammunition capacity has been increased from 500 rounds to 12.7 rounds.Originally, Zhu Bin wanted to make two [-]mm big guys, but after thinking about it, he felt that the changes would be too big to be conducive to the overall stability, so he had to give up.

In addition, they are given a bulletproof vest and a parachute bag for each of them. After Zhu Bin strongly recommends the two of them, they barely carry it. But to be honest, in high-speed action, can someone like Short who does not have an ejection device jump out? Still a problem.

On February 2, the refitting and commissioning of the plane was finally completed. Zhu Bin first drove around the sky for an hour to make sure that there was no problem. In the afternoon, the two were restrained by Nanjing's order, reluctantly bid farewell to Zhu Bin, and drove to the plane.

"Oh! What a fulfilling and joyful day!"

Watching the two fighter planes swinging their wings and flying into the sky, Zhu Bin stretched contentedly, and turned his head to see Yu Baoguo who had been busy for several days without touching the ground.

Different from Zhu Bin, who put down the pick, after Yu Baoguo and others arrived in Jiading, they still restrained the troops in accordance with the strictest wartime discipline, so as to arrange every task meticulously and thoughtfully. The main combat force of more than 200 people plus dozens of The logistics, however, manage this small town full of cultural atmosphere and beautiful inheritance in an orderly manner, and the construction of various air defense, artillery, and anti-assault fortifications is perfect and meticulous.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Bin has the opportunity to be lazy and do what he likes to do.However, Zhu Bin's outspoken words leaked some information, which caused quite a stir among the upper-level officers. After hearing this, Yu Baoguo thought carefully, and finally decided to ask clearly.

"Are you really planning to join the navy? Have you left the Volunteer Army behind?" Yu Baoguo sat seriously opposite Zhu Bin, staring into his eyes. After many days of getting along, he was basically familiar with this guy's style and expression. .

Zhu Bin scratched his short-haired head and sighed softly as if he was having a headache: "It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't. It is already the greatest possibility to save most of the people and bring them back to the Navy Department. Army, don't even think about it, nineteen Lu Jun has offended too many people, and anyone related to them cannot be kept."

Yu Baoguo lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment, then said sullenly: "It's really not easy to do something in China, not as simple as the German Wehrmacht. I'm very worried that things will change out of control after you leave."

It is the painstaking efforts of many of them that the Volunteer Army can have what it is today.

Zhu Bin nodded, thumped the table lightly, and said, "So, you have to stay and help Captain Wang Pingnan keep an eye on it. Every shot in the Volunteer Army is shot, and every piece of equipment can't be leaked out. If you want to take advantage of us, it's a dream! Wait!" I came back from the United States, let's make a big deal!"

"Okay! I believe you!" Yu Baoguo didn't ask any more questions, he agreed categorically, and turned his head to go out.

"Damn it!" Zhu Bin's good mood for two days was ruined, he gritted his teeth and punched the tabletop in half, thinking bitterly in his heart, "Wait, I will never accept these bastards again. At the mercy of politicians!"

On February 2, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. Eight fighter planes of the air force stationed in Nanjing and two new planes of Short and Gong Lang took off together and rushed to the Songhu battlefield to support the war. Unexpectedly, all the fighter planes of the Air Force miraculously "Travel" disappeared, and when Xiao Te and Gong Lang echoed back and forth and flew to the southeast of Suzhou, they ran into six Japanese fighter planes!

The two people who were helpless at the back didn't hesitate, and urged their fighters to rush down against Rijin who was lower than them!
