Bomber Plane
It could be said that transportation during the Republic of China period was really inconvenient. If it were the 21st century, whether it was by train, high-speed rail, or plane, even the slowest method, one could definitely arrive in one day. But now, it would take two to three days, especially if they took the train from Zhang Jiakou to Shanghai. The speed was not much faster than taking a boat!
However, in order to save time, they still chose to take the train. The trains of this era basically had no advantages. If they were forced to say anything, it would be that they only had the worst carriages. The environment inside the carriage was still okay. At this time, those who sat in the first-class cabin of the train were basically either rich or noble. How could the environment be too bad?
But no matter what, the two days passed by unsteadily on the train. When he returned to Zhang Jiakou, Ji Yun let out a long sigh. To be honest, Ji Yun really liked to travel, but in this time and space, he really didn't have the mood to do such things.
Now, he was basically busy all day long. Even on the train, he could not have peace. He checked this and that. He had to control these and those well. As a leader, he had to control the overall situation!
However, the result of doing so was that he had not gone on a trip for a long time. Although he was going to Shanghai this time to meet James Bond, part of the reason was that he wanted to go out for a walk.
He had been in this space-time for more than half a year. Although his days were very fulfilling, it was inevitable that he would be a little bored after a long time. In the end, he realized that he should continue to be busy! The difference between this country and the Huaxia in your impression is too great.
Therefore, he continued to develop and see if he could create a better Huaxia than he had imagined.
Of course, the most important aspect was the military. The current Chahar People's Air Force and Army had a total of 150,000 to 160,000 people.
China was already a very powerful force, but considering the war on the Middle East Road next year, there would definitely be a battle between him and the Polar Bear, so there were not many people.
The army's current equipment was very advanced, and there were no major problems in terms of coordination. However, the air force exposed a more serious problem.
The Chahar People's Air Force currently had a large number of fighter jets. The daily bombing missions were completed by these fighter jets.
The J-1 fighter jet was gradually retiring, and the J-2 fighter jet, known as the Spitfire, was slowly making up for this gap.
The Chengdu J-2 and fighter jets were very powerful. After improvements, they could be used for more than ten years. However, the Air Force did not even have a formal bomber, and its ground bombing ability was very weak. Therefore, when Ji Yun returned, he was captured by the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Richthofen.
Ji Yun didn't get angry when he asked him to produce suitable bomber aircraft for the Air Force. Seeing that the commander-in-chief was doing this for the development of the Air Force, the two of them walked into the Air Force Command Center and called a few bomber design masters.
As a fan of the puppet army, Ji Yun had some understanding of the bomber. Before December 1937, the only bomber that could enter Ji Yun's eyes was the German Ju-87 Stuka. Then there was the Bald Eagle's air fortress and the B17 heavy bomber.
There were two types of bomber, the Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber, which belonged to the tactical bomber class! The B17 could barely be considered a strategic bomber.
Why was the B17 considered a strategic bomber? Although it had a bomb load of eight tons, its range was less than 3,000 kilometers. Moreover, the flight speed of this aircraft was 200 kilometers slower than the B29 a few years later! The maximum distance was more than 2,000 kilometers!
The B17 was also known as the Sky Fortress. However, its flight speed was slow and its combat radius was short. Although the airborne firepower on it was very fierce, if it encountered a fighter jet with faster speed and stronger firepower, its survivability would be very problematic.
Therefore, the current Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber would be used as the main bomber of the army. As for the B17 bomber, it would be produced in small quantities, no more than 100 at most. Because there were currently no fighter jets that could escort it, even the J-2 Spitfire fighter jet, which had the longest range, only had a range of 1200 kilometers.
Therefore, the Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber was named Hong-1. It would be the main force of the air force's ground bombing.
The performance of the Ju-87 before 1937 was actually relatively average. The most advanced Ju-87 should be the D model.
However, the base could produce them directly. The Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber was only the earliest A model, but at the moment, it was better to send some to the soldiers for training, so that the equipment would not be waiting for people.
The performance of the current Ju-87 was average, but it could be considered to have participated in actual combat. In the Spanish Civil War in 1935, this thing had never appeared less.
The basic information of the Stuka flying bomber was as follows:
It was a two-person unit. The propulsion power was a 1100 horsepower Jumbo211Da liquid-cooled V-type 12-cylinder engine. The defensive firepower consisted of two MG17 7.92mm machine guns fixed on both sides of the wing controlled by the pilot and one MG15 7.92mm machine gun operated by the radio operator in the back seat. A 500 kg heavy bomb could be hung on the center line of the abdomen of the aircraft, and another 110 kg bomb could be hung on each side of the wings.
The Stuka's body was very sturdy, so it could dive at an 80-degree angle. It was equipped with an automatic calculation device that could correctly calculate the time to start diving and pull up the nose. A pair of dive speed brakes were installed under the front wing spar, and its fat main landing gear also decelerated the aircraft when it dived. These characteristics allowed Stuka to have extremely high bombing accuracy, with a diameter error of 25 meters. Therefore, it could play the role of precision bombing. This effect was also very huge, so in the war, it could effectively destroy the enemy's ground targets.
However, when the first Stuka dive bomber was produced…The pilot that was produced at the same time as it really surprised Ji Yun.
The pilot's name was Hans. Ulrich. Rudel, a legendary pilot whose existence in history was debatable.
The reason why his existence was controversial was because of his almost impossible record. Whether or not the battle records of the likes of Hartman were like this was also a matter of debate. Ji Yun knew a little about this person.
He was the most famous pilot in the country during World War II. His achievements included the destruction of 519 tanks, 150 artillery positions, nearly 1000 other vehicles, 70 ships, 2 La-3 fighter jets, 1 IL-2 attack aircraft, sinking the Soviet battleship "Mara", damaging the battleship "Red October", and sinking two other cruisers and a destroyer. At the same time, he had been shot down 32 times and had a combat sortie record of 2530 sorties (on average, he had been dispatched more than once a day in six years, without any holidays or rest!)）。He was the only German military officer to be awarded the Diamond Double Swords Golden Oak Leaf Knight Medal!
Just based on the battle records above, anyone could probably think of an anti-Japanese drama. However, his reputation was not false. Perhaps Rudel did not have such an exaggerated battle record. He was also a very powerful pilot, and a character similar to the hero in the Red Alert.
