Chapter 362 Carrier-based aircraft? Too little! The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army has never fought such a rich battle, so it is a little unaccustomed to suddenly face such a rich battle. After all, they fought hard battles in the past, so how could they be so wealthy? Let's not talk about light weapons. Tanks are directly deployed to each infantry battalion to accompany them in the attack. Originally Zhao He proposed a large-scale armored force, but Cun Yunsheng rejected it. Because for him, the tropical rainforest is not suitable for launching a torrent of steel. One tank platoon per infantry battalion is sufficient. If that doesn't work, call for air support directly. Who allowed the Japanese army to move too far? Unless the Japanese army ignored it, all other battlefields were lost, and all energy was concentrated on dealing with him. Otherwise, the Japanese army would not be his opponent at all in this kind of local battle.
It is a pity that the Japanese army cannot just give up such a large territory. So this configuration is sufficient. Even so, the combat effectiveness of the Sixtieth Army of the Yunnan Army has also soared. It is very easy to deal with the Japanese army, not as difficult as before. “Keep pushing forward and strive to advance to the Lion City in one go.” Duan Zhenguo said. “Okay, I’ll give the order right now.” An Enpu nodded. Next, the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army was divided into three echelons and continued to advance. Cun Yunsheng is not worried at all about the situation in Borneo. Including the indigenous troops there, there are almost 100,000 people, and they are also supported by fighter planes. Fishing boats deliver supplies every day. It would be a **** thing if something went wrong. Moreover, his request for the other side is to proceed steadily and not to be too hasty. After all, he has not yet figured out how to defend the Strait of Malacca if he occupies it. Those missiles are still being improved, and the main issue is guidance. Having begun to solve the problem, wireless guidance and radar guidance have been introduced. But this cannot be solved in a day or two, it will take a long time. So Cun Yunsheng was not in a hurry at all. Fortunately during this period, Cun Yunsheng began to let Zhang Yang train carrier-based aircraft again. That’s right, it’s a carrier-based aircraft. Because he has become obsessed with aircraft carriers. “How is the carrier-based aircraft training going?” Suddenly, Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fangliao who had just returned and asked.
Lin Yi was sent by him to engage in land reclamation and immigration. As for Changsha, he sent someone else. So Meng Fanglia was transferred back again. Meng Fangliao, who had just returned, was still familiar with the situation, but Cun Yunsheng's words confused him. Carrier-based aircraft? When did we have carrier-based aircraft? How come I don’t know? What happened again? I have never heard of this project. Moreover, there are too many things he has to take care of every day. He has not even sorted out the things he has accumulated before. Naturally, he was a little confused when he suddenly asked this question. "I can tell by the look on your face. I'm definitely not paying attention, but I don't blame you. I've been working too much lately, and I've thrown a lot of things at you. And you've just come back. Your hair is starting to turn gray. One circle." Cun Yunsheng saw Meng Fanxiao's confused expression and guessed that he definitely didn't know. “You have really worked hard during this period, running around.” Cun Yunsheng comforted him. "Come on...I..." Meng Fanglia wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng. "No need to say so much, I know, let's go to the aircraft carrier training base." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and waved his hand. The aircraft carrier Cun Yunsheng mentioned is actually a cruise ship. Completely in accordance with the standards of the US military's **** aircraft carriers. At any rate, he certainly cannot build a standard aircraft carrier now. But there is still no problem in using cruise ships to transform aircraft carriers. And once the aircraft carrier is built, it will attract more people. In fact, Cun Yunsheng was staring at the boatmen at Jiangnan Shipyard. A lot has been dug, but it is still not enough. He needs to pack them all up. I believe that by that time, his shipbuilding level will definitely improve a lot. Now, let’s test the waters with a 10,000-ton cruise ship. Thankfully, the Siamese royal family had such a cruise ship, otherwise, he would not even have a subject to test. All the buildings above were bulldozed, and an elevator was installed at the stern of the cabin specifically for lifting carrier-based aircraft. At present, Europe is also using cruise ships to transform aircraft carriers. Don’t ask for more, as long as it can take off twenty or thirty carrier-based aircraft, it will be enough. If the quality is not good, then quantity will be enough.
This is the thinking of the four navies over there, and it indeed opened up Cun Yunsheng's thinking. That's right, if the quality is not good, I will make up the quantity. Ten **** carriers mean that two to three hundred fighters can take off at one time. And the German engineers we hired were involved in all walks of life. With the help of German engineers and the few employees of Jiangnan Shipyard on hand, it is too simple to transform a cruise ship. According to the suggestions of German engineers, the transformation can be completed in two or three months at most. If the equipment was more advanced, it would probably only take a month. So Cun Yunsheng immediately launched the aircraft carrier project. Soon Cun Yunsheng and Meng Fanglia came to the aircraft carrier's training base. For Cun Yunsheng, he attaches great importance to aircraft carriers. In his eyes, aircraft carriers not only represent a country's naval strength, but also reflect whether a country's will is firm and its combat effectiveness is high. As time goes by, the development of aircraft carriers gradually shifts from the naval strategic direction to the national strategic level, so the importance of aircraft carriers is very high. At this time, when he came to the aircraft carrier's training base, what Cun Yunsheng wanted to see was the F4U fighter training situation obtained by using golden fingers. It’s a pity that Goldfinger is not very powerful. It would be great if there were more advanced carrier-based aircraft. For example, the F-8 carrier-based aircraft, and the F-86 Sabre. The latter has a disadvantage, which is that it may inadvertently cause severe artificial pitching when the pilot is flying at low altitude and high speed. If you are an experienced pilot, you may be fine, but if you are a rookie and have little experience, you may destroy the aircraft and kill everyone. However, Cun Yunsheng believes that as the rookie becomes an experienced player, he will immediately jump on the horse if he draws the F-86 Saber in the future. The superior performance of carrier-based aircraft is really important to an aircraft carrier. Without excellent carrier-based aircraft to fight the enemy, even if the navy is given numerous aircraft carriers, it will not have any combat capability. An aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is just a decoration and does not pose any threat to the enemy. It may even become the enemy's target, glory, or even a waste of resources. As for the ideal carrier-based aircraft model in Cun Yunsheng’s mind. That must be the F-8 carrier-based aircraft. The F-8 carrier-based aircraft is definitely the most advanced carrier-based aircraft in this era. Even if we fight Japanese aircraft carriers in the future, they will still be the overlords. Others don’t understand the strength of the F-8 carrier-based aircraft, but Cun Yunsheng knows that this carrier-based aircraft is definitely the overlord of this era. Not only that, this fighter also has room for upgrading and transformation, so as long as Cun Yunsheng's industrial strength increases, it can be upgraded and transformed, and it will become more advanced in the future. “Master, are you here?” Zhang Yang quickly came to Cun Yunsheng at the aircraft carrier training base and saluted. "Well, don't be ridiculous. I'm here to check the training status of carrier-based aircraft pilots. How is their recent training? Can they meet my requirements? We are short of aircraft carriers now. With them, this area will be better in the future. We are the overlord of the sea, who dares to despise us?" Cun Yunsheng said immediately without any nonsense.
“The aircraft carrier is ready.” Zhang Yang’s voice almost dropped to tears. “No.” Cun Yunsheng said honestly. As a result, Zhang Yang was speechless for a while. You haven't even finished the love yet, so you're still urging me? … "Although it's not done yet, it's almost done. It can be launched in two to three months at most. We will have more and more aircraft carriers in the future. It is said that there is a semi-finished Guoguang in Shancheng? I don't know whether it is true or not." Cun Yunsheng He shook his head and said. "I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's true or not. There are too many factions in the navy." Zhang Yang said casually. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How is the training going?" Cun Yunsheng asked again. Hearing this, Zhang Yang quickly said: "Come here, the ace pilots transferred from the Air Force are now able to fully fly the F4u carrier-based aircraft. As for the rookie pilots, they are still a little behind. They still need to fly for at least a hundred hours. ” “Furthermore, we have no aircraft carrier combat experience, so I’m still a little worried.” “Your support is really strong, you actually selected an ace pilot?” Cun Yunsheng was stunned. He remembered that the Air Force did not have enough pilots, and had reported to him more than once, hoping to replace a group of flight instructors. "Yes, carrier-based aircraft is a new type of service. If there are no ace pilots, we will just rely on the rookie pilots, otherwise we are still groping." Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly. “I totally agree with your decision, so I transferred all the ace pilots here.” “However, the deck has become a bit worn recently.” Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's face turned cold. He looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we have been training for a long time. The steel on the deck showed signs of melting under the high temperature. The quality of our steel is still not up to standard." Zhang Yang said as he led Cun Yunsheng to the uneven deck. Looking at the deck in front of him, Cun Yunsheng suddenly understood what was going on. Although he asked for the best steel at the time, civilian steel could not be compared with military steel, and he could not get the military steel formula. After all, Special steel is a national treasure to everyone. As for the formula of steel, William directly refused, and at most he would only give the formula of steel for civilian use. He also swore that the steel for civilian use was enough and there was no need to use military steel. Now it seems that I have been cheated. But it doesn’t matter, he will make the **** spit it out. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng pondered for a while: "It has something to do with the quality of the steel. I will find a way to solve this. I will draw attention to the subsequent aircraft carrier transformation." At present, all countries use propeller-type carrier-based aircraft, and the requirements for the deck are not high. To put it bluntly, even wooden boards can take off, but jet aircraft cannot. They must have special steel as the deck, otherwise it will take a long time. Melts easily. Presumably this is also the reason why William proposed the use of civilian steel. Because it’s really enough. You must know that the Japanese aircraft carriers still use wooden boards. "How about we let them perform first." Zhang Yang obviously saw that Cun Yunsheng wanted to watch the performance, and immediately suggested. “No need to make arrangements, just raise the battle alarm and let me see their reaction ability.” Seeing that Zhang Yang was about to prepare, Cun Yunsheng waved his hand directly. "Yes!" Zhang Yang didn't hesitate, and immediately took out his whistle. Soon the entire training base sounded the first-level combat alarm, which meant that an enemy ship was invading. All pilots immediately took off to meet the enemy. Although they knew it was fake, the first-level combat alarm The alarm is a signal, it is war, and everyone becomes nervous.
Not long after, the first carrier-based aircraft quickly took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier. Watching the pilot skillfully fly the F4U carrier-based aircraft, Cun Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction. Soon, those ace pilots took off the carrier-based aircraft from the deck, and then formed a battle formation in the sky, preparing to meet the invading enemy. “Not bad, not bad, it seems you have put a lot of thought into this time.” Cun Yunsheng said with great satisfaction. “Thank you for your appreciation!” Zhang Yang said with a sigh of relief. “Let them land!” "yes!" The landing went smoothly. It was obvious that these ace pilots had been training regularly, and Cun Yunsheng was very satisfied. "The training is good, but it's still a little worse than what I expected. In this way, I will give you another month, no matter what the cost, you must train a group of qualified carrier-based aircraft pilots, the number of which will be no less than 300. Next, , I’m afraid this sea area will not be too calm, and the Air Force’s fighter planes alone are not enough, because we do not have a stable landing airport.” "Our naval warships are still too few. We need to increase them at least ten times to completely control this sea area." "Our shortcomings can be seen when we land on Luzon Island. If there is an aircraft carrier, those fighter planes can take off and land at any time. There is no need to return. Most of the fuel consumption is wasted during the flight." “What? You seem to be having difficulty?” Zhang Yang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng. "I understand your concerns. Let's do this. You don't need to limit our own pilots to those German flight instructors. You can also try to recruit them. As long as you offer high salary, I believe they will definitely have some people coming." Looking at Zhang Yang's eyes, Cun Yunsheng knew what he meant. There was a shortage of ace pilots, but he couldn't always ask the air force to dispatch ace pilots. After all, the Air Force also has its own training missions, and their pilots are also in very short supply. There are so many fighters waiting for training, so they can only find other ways. Especially the German flight instructors responsible for training, they are strong enough to fly these carrier-based aircraft, and they may even be able to recruit some ace pilots. More importantly, the German pilots were too thin. Many German pilots who were ace pilots were not famous. It is better to change the track and maybe become more famous. "Try as many pilots as possible. Soon, we will have more aircraft carriers, so we are very short of pilots. I hope you can keep this in mind and train more pilots as soon as possible." Cun Yun Sheng warned again. "yes!" (End of this chapter)
