The Battle Eagle Flies
If the First World War was the home ground of artillery, then in the Second World War, the position of the air force would be almost unshakable.
With the rapid development of aircraft, the pressure on the ground forces was also increasing. If they didn't have any air defense measures, the ordinary army would be like a piece of fat meat in front of the aircraft!
The development of science and technology had caused the gap in strength between the two sides to grow larger and larger. When the gap in science and technology reached a certain point, it was no longer something that could be made up by pure human strength.
Just like how the machine gun was invented, the original group charge was directly thrown into the trash. In the face of the enemy's concentrated machine gun fire, letting his soldiers charge in groups was undoubtedly asking his soldiers to commit suicide.
Ordinary infantry was in a similar situation when facing the air force, especially when there were no ground-to-air missiles. It was almost impossible to rely on ground firepower to complete air defense.
In history, there were many anti-aircraft guns produced by Germany, but was it useful? The airspace of Germany was still like a sieve, bombarded by the US Air Force!
In the end, the importance of ground air defense was only important when the air superiority was insufficient.
Therefore, Zhang Yu naturally attached great importance to the Air Force. Now that the airport was completed, Zhang Yu's Air Force had officially begun to take off.
The system still had a bit of intelligence. After Zhang Yu gave the order, the system would arrange the layout of the various facilities on its own. Moreover, the plans were reasonable.
This was definitely a good thing for Zhang Yu, because he spent most of his time in a day. Other than studying, he was responsible for communicating with the system.
Zhang Yu had never been this tired before, except when he was in high school in his previous life.
However, this kind of tiredness made Zhang Yu feel very fulfilled. In life, one had to do something that made one feel that one's life was not in vain. What Zhang Yu was doing now made Zhang Yu feel extremely gratified.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Yu arrived at the airport in a Willis Jeep.
When Zhang Yu arrived, he discovered that this place had already changed greatly.
The plain, which was originally a wasteland, had been transformed into four 2000-meter-long runways, each 40 meters wide. The terminal building, the parking apron, and the hangar built by digging the mountain.
These things were different from the ones beside them. If the surrounding villagers came here at this time, they would definitely be shocked. To them, the scene in front of them! It was truly unimaginable!
Especially for those who were more familiar with the surroundings, these things were even more unimaginable.
They found it hard to understand why such a huge building would appear in such a place in such a short period of time.
In fact, Zhang Yu himself was not very clear about this problem. At this moment, the system was too mysterious. He had no way to remove that mysterious veil!
When Zhang Yu arrived at the airport, there were already three fighter jets on the runway, some activities were underway.
These pilots who had just arrived were obviously unable to hold back their excitement!
"This airport is not bad, but you have to prepare for air defense. Although it might not be very useful, it's better than nothing!”Zhang Yu looked at the airport in front of him and said with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, Commander. We are already preparing to train the air defense soldiers. However, the training of the air defense soldiers will take a long time.”Ding Wei also agreed with Zhang Yu's words.
Zhang Yu nodded after listening and did not say anything more. He really did not know much about this matter. It was better to hand it over to someone who knew how to do it!
When they arrived at the airport, Lin Xiang, the captain of the aviation team, was commanding a few pilots to test a few planes, even though they were all pilots with at least 500 flight hours.
However, they were unfamiliar with the Wildcat fighter jet in front of them, so they had to adapt to it.
"Little Wang, how do you feel?" Lin Xiang stayed in the tower and looked at the plane in the sky that was doing all kinds of actions. He asked from the radio system beside him.
At this time, Little Wang, who was piloting the Wildcat fighter jet in the sky, completed another difficult move and said very calmly,"This plane's performance is average, but it can still be used. The engine's horsepower was barely enough, but its hovering ability and climbing ability were somewhat lacking!”
Lin Xiang, who was in the tower, frowned when he heard this. He asked another pilot,"Lu Jing, what do you think of this plane?”
At this moment, Lu Jing, who was flying at an altitude of five to six thousand meters, replied directly,"The ability to fight at high altitudes is not bad. It won't be outdated for at least five to six years.”
"Okay, I understand. You two continue to train and collect data. If there are any problems, report directly.”After listening to the reports from the two of them, Lin Xiang contacted his feelings this morning and roughly had an idea in his heart.
Although the performance of the plane was important, the pilot was equally important.
Although the pilots 'flight time was more than 500 hours, as the captain, Lin Xiang's flight time had reached 1200 hours.
Coupled with his flying talent, it could be imagined that Lin Xiang was definitely an excellent pilot.
Just as Lin Xiang was thinking about some things, Zhang Yu came over. He looked at Lin Xiang, who was thinking, and said very directly,"How about it, Lin Xiang? These fighter jets are still worthy of your attention, right?”
Lin Xiang, who heard Zhang Yu's voice, was also shocked and replied,"It's you, Commander. We're quite satisfied with these planes. Their performance is quite advanced. We have 100 pilots now, and these planes are not enough!”
After hearing Lin Xiang's words, Zhang Yu could not help but roll his eyes and say,"It doesn't cost money to maintain a plane. Now that we're short on funds, you guys can bear with it for now! I'll try to expand you to the size of a flying regiment by the end of the year. You have to know that at this stage, the army is more important!”
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Lin Xiang was a little embarrassed and chuckled without saying anything.
He also knew that it was a very tense time in all aspects. If the Air Force took up too many resources, it would definitely be harmful to the expansion of the road.
Although the Air Force was also very useful, occupying the ground always required the Army.
"Commander, then we won't ask for anything. Just get a few of the enemy's most advanced aircraft and let the soldiers practice.”Lin Xiang continued to be thick-skinned.
Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. This idea was clearly very good.
