blood feud

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief: The first formation of fighter jets sent back a message that a fleet flying the American flag was found 190 kilometers west of Jeju Island. It was traveling at a speed of 25 knots and heading due north. No other ships were found in the nearby waters."

At around 1938:6 am on June 25, 07, Bai Shujie finally received a piece of news, but his heart suddenly rose.Now that the fleet is surrounded by little devils, there must be no carelessness in the slightest.

Bai Shujie grabbed the special line of the aviation division and shouted loudly: "Order: The first and second formations of fighter jets will escort for half an hour and return, and the first formation of bombers will continue to escort."

"The second formation of bombers, the third and fourth formations of fighters take off immediately to take over the escort mission; the third formation of bombers, the fifth and sixth formations of fighters take off an hour later. Then they take off in turn for half an hour to ensure that the escort fighters and bombers There's plenty of fuel and you're ready to fight."

From the waters 200 kilometers west of Jeju Island to Jiaodao at the mouth of the Datong River, there is still 630 kilometers, or 340 nautical miles.According to the fleet's speed of 25 knots, it will take another 12 hours to return.

During the 12-hour voyage, the most dangerous thing was Qingdao's Little Devils Fourth Fleet.There is an aircraft carrier formation with carrier-based aircraft on it.

Although South Korea has a No. 20 division with little devils, they do not have decent fighters, so the problem is not very serious.

However, as time went by, Bai Shujie gradually figured it out.On Jeju Island, there is the Fifth Fleet of the Little Devils. They did not come forward to intercept it, which means that the American flag flying by the fleet has played a role.

The little devil is not yet ready to start with the United States, and it is not a wise move to intercept the American fleet.

Of course, Bai Shujie believed that the little devil's headquarters must have received the news.Because when the fleet passes through Okinawa, it should be discovered.

Two days have passed since the fleet passed through Okinawa. It is estimated that the foreign minister of the little devil has summoned the US ambassador to protest.

Now it is not sure whether the Navy Department and the base camp of the little devil know what happened on Bansai Island.If the little devil knew that his ship on Bansai Island had been destroyed, it is estimated that the conflict would have been inevitable.

As time passed by, it was six o'clock in the afternoon.The fleet has crossed the waters east of Qingdao and is heading towards the mouth of the Datong River at full speed, but the little devil's aircraft carrier formation has not come out.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, just when Bai Shujie thought it was getting late and he should be fine today, the correspondent suddenly came over and reported: "Commander-in-Chief: The fleet sent a message, and three submarines were found about 30 kilometers behind them! No dive, Instead, follow on the sea."

Bai Shujie was startled, and then said: "Order Zhang Jingfu to let 5 destroyers cover the fleet to continue going north, 2 cruisers to support it in the middle, and 3 destroyers to slow down and rear. The whole ship is ready for battle. If the enemy submarine continues to approach, it will Drop a depth charge as a warning!"

The correspondent turned to leave, and Bai Shujie grabbed the air force line again: "All the bomber formations and fighter formations are all taking off. As long as the little devils dare to provoke, they will separately raid the Fourth Fleet of Qingdao, the Third Fleet of Shanghai and the Fifth Fleet of Jeju Island!"

At 7:30 in the afternoon, Bai Shujie ordered the squadron commander Zhang Bingyang to lead the cruiser Feilong 201 and the destroyer Chunfeng to set sail and go forward to guide the fleet into the waters of the Datong River Estuary.All the shallow-water gunboats responsible for towing set off immediately, ready to tow the freighter into the Datong River.

At around 8:30 in the evening, the correspondent came to report: "The three submarines of the little devil have left and are heading east to Incheon Port."

"Order: The three destroyers in the rear, speed up and move closer to the cruiser in front. Be vigilant and guard against little devils!"

At around 9:50 in the evening, the first freighter appeared in everyone's sight.

Bai Shujie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the phone to issue another order: "Order: The first and second freighters sail to Cangyunli Military Wharf, and the other freighters sail to Pyongyang! The Cangyunli military port is moored!"

"The coastal defense forces on both sides of the Datong River Estuary, the Cangyunli Military Port and the air defense forces around Pyongyang, and the Flying Tiger Squadron at Jiangnan Airport are all on 24-hour combat duty. When they find the enemy, they fire first and then report!"

All of a sudden, Cangyunli Military Port became busy.By one o'clock in the morning, 10 large warships and two 2-ton ocean-going freighters had been added.

In addition to the internal guard battalion of the internal guard regiment of the headquarters, more than 4 people from 900 companies were dispatched to serve as guards, and the women's battalion of the internal guard regiment dispatched more than 2 people from 400 companies to serve as reception. Anyway, there were people everywhere.

Although all 12 searchlights were turned on, and hundreds of lights in the shipyard and the military port were turned on, it was after all in the middle of the night, and no one could see who was clear.

Zhang Nianzu, the commander of the aviation division, has rushed here to report to Bai Shujie, and also met Zhang Jingfu.The brothers haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they don't talk too much now.

"Hurry up, take me to the freighter to have a look!" Although Bai Shujie hadn't eaten or drank all day, he was full of energy now: "Damn it, I've heard of Sky Fortress and seen the photos, but I haven't seen it." What a real guy!"

"Boss, don't you have a fever?" Zhang Jingfu asked in surprise: "As far as I know, there is no picture of this heavy bomber, and it is still in a top-secret state. How did you see the picture? But, what did you say?" A fortress in the sky, that’s quite an image.”

It was only then that Bai Shujie realized that he had been complacent for a while, and had committed a "time-space logic error" again!So I quickly made up a set of nonsense: "You look like a motherfucker, you said you saw it on the blueprint, I made a slip of the tongue, and said it was a photo, what's the fuss!"

Just as Bai Shujie was about to turn around and walk towards the cargo terminal, he suddenly remembered something, and then turned his head and shouted, "Is the battalion commander Gao Changjin here? Is the special train coming?"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief: Gao Changjin is here! The special train is already in place on the railway gantry crane, waiting to unload. Along the railway line, until Jiufengshan Airport, more than 300 people from the two regiments of the Korean People's Liberation Army are all standing guard on both sides of the railway. Outsiders are prohibited from approaching within 746 meters. The [-] people in our battalion are responsible for escorting the vehicle. The report is over!"

The current b-17, the future flh37 heavy bomber, has indeed just rolled off the production line not long ago, without painting, all of which are silver-gray white iron skins.The rivet thread is like the stitches left by a sewing machine, intertwined one by one.

The fuselage of the aircraft is laid horizontally, and fixed seats are installed on the deck of the freighter, and the three wheels of the landing gear of each aircraft are all fixed to death.

"Commander-in-Chief: There are three planes on each ship. In the cargo compartment below the deck, there are 12 engines for the three planes, and there are two complete sets of spare parts."

Zhang Jingfu introduced to Bai Shujie next to him: "That is to say, each ship has 3 complete machines and 2 loose parts, but only 1 engine. Back then, Mr. Lan didn't hesitate to buy these parts at three times the price. I I don’t understand what it means until now. Why don’t you use that money to buy the whole machine?”

"Haha, you are wrong!" Bai Shujie shook his head: "Lan Caiqin is right, you need to learn more about her strategic vision! Deputy Teacher Xu, do you understand what Teacher Lan is trying to do?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief: one flh37 heavy bomber has four engines. If the next four can be put in place according to this configuration, we will have 4 flh10s and 37 spare engines. Ten flh40s can load bombs at a time 10 tons, Master Lan is probably not satisfied."

"I think what Mr. Lan means is to keep a few engines as spares. The other engines are used to produce twin-engine light bombers with a bomb load of about 3.5 tons, and hang 350 aerial bombs of 10 kg. Of course, they can also be produced. With a single-engine fighter, two squadrons of long-range fighters can be added, with a combat radius of more than 3000 kilometers.”

"If we can come up with 30 engines and produce twin-engine bombers ourselves, then we can add 15 more. We can dispatch all of them at once, and carry 52 tons of bombs. This is a huge battle group. I estimate that if we attack all at once, the little devil's An aircraft carrier formation will be blown to pieces."

"In this way, more uncertainty will be added to future wars, the combat design of each unit will be more flexible, and it will also provide more options for the command to design the future development direction of the unit."

"Well said, you have vision!" Bai Shujie looked at Zhang Jingfu and said with a smile: "Did you understand that fucking, that's what Lan Caiqin means! We are naturally unable to produce now, but it doesn't mean we will never be able to produce .To be able to see all kinds of possibilities in a period of time in the future, this is a strategic vision!"

Unloading 6 bombers, 12 spare parts, and 24 engines overnight, all loaded onto the special train until 6:[-] am the next day, and then covered it tightly with canvas, and the train drove to Jiufengshan Airport at the most stable speed .

Bai Shujie personally supervised the battle, moved the large box storing 24 engines into a huge cave and sealed it before he was relieved.

For others, it's nothing more than spare parts.But for Bai Shujie, what is stocked here is the foundation of the future aviation industry and the most rare technical reserve.It doesn't take long, and it's all good stuff that money can't buy!

In the future, with technical strength, as long as we draw inferences on the basis of this engine, we may develop a more advanced engine, so as to realize the replacement of all aircraft, and then form our own series.

"Zhang Nianzu, Xu Shijie, from now on, your chief and deputy division commanders will immediately organize a team with excellent skills and start researching this heavy bomber according to the instructions."

Bai Shujie has not closed his eyes or eaten for two days and two nights, but he is still in good spirits: "I don't want the child to be caught by the wolf, so I specially approved an engine, a complete machine, and a complete set of parts for you, and I started to think about the plane. performance, strive to fly to the sky as soon as possible, and give the little devil a good look!"

"First of all, it must be able to fly and land, and then gradually consider various hidden performances. As for the installation and optimization of airborne radar, fire control system, communication system, and weapon system, that is the next step. We don't need to be so ambitious, we must take one step at a time. "

"We still have time, at least one and a half years. So I hope that your flight brigade, ground crew, and student brigade, in addition to normal cruising, will all concentrate on researching new aircraft. To tell you the truth, the next time There will be new equipment coming in."

Bai Shujie finally said: "Damn, you used to always say that there were not enough planes. To tell you the truth, you should quickly recruit pilot students. In a short time, there will be more planes than you have now!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
