Chapter 370 Unlock! Air Pirates!
Liao Mingyu thought about it for a while, but rarely felt that this system made some sense.
When it comes to choosing a base area, you must choose a place with an excellent geographical location and conducive to defense, and a place like Nankan, a place of the Fourth War, is indeed not suitable.
"Okay, okay, don't rush this matter now, um... let's see if there is anything easy to settle recently and cash it out for me."
Since the last battle of Mangshi, I have rarely contacted the system. During this period, I have experienced several battles, and I guess I have gained a lot of points.
"Ding...the system is scanning...
The victory of the Battle of Wanding was detected, and more than 2,300 enemies were wiped out in 28 hours, a model of small-scale blitz warfare. Strategic evaluation: excellent, tactical evaluation: ss, reward: 25,000 points, unlocking the Austrian Carles eight-fold scope
.
Detected victory in the Battle of Nankan, fought for the first time abroad, and successfully broke the first blockade of the Japanese army in western Yunnan, China. Strategic evaluation: excellent, tactical evaluation: s. Reward: 20,000 points, unlocking the American Dodge KE light truck.
.
After detecting the victory of the Lashio Defense Battle, a regiment successfully blocked the Japanese reinforcements' attack, allowing the northern Burmese army to stabilize the situation. Strategic evaluation: excellent, tactical evaluation: b, and reward: 17,500 points. However, due to
The casualties of the troops were too great, resulting in the loss of the first main regiment. 8,000 points were deducted, and no items were unlocked.
Total points earned: 54,000, current points remaining: 93,650.”
Liao Mingyu listened silently to the system's report. For such a harvest, it was pretty good. Although the two things unlocked were of little use, they were better than nothing.
As for the battle situation in Lashio, there was nothing we could do about it due to the situation. Replacing Long Wenwen's regiment with other troops would have the same result, and it might even be worse.
"Ding... It is also detected that the host has successfully built its first military airport, unlocked the US-made F4U-4 fighter jets, and directly rewarded 6 of them by the system, which will be sent to Nankan by the Allied Joint Logistics Department in the near future.
, report completed.”
"F4u? Pirates of the Yankees? They even directly rewarded 6 of them, haha! The boss is quite generous this time."
Liao Mingyu was so excited that he almost danced. Now he could be involved in the air force, and it was a high-performance fighter aircraft like the F4U during World War II.
"But I remember that this aircraft is not used as a carrier-based aircraft in the United States?"
The prefixes of U.S. military fighter aircraft in World War II were particular, because the United States did not have an independent air force system at that time. Its aviation forces were divided into the Naval Air Force and the Army Air Force.
Navy carrier-based aircraft generally start with f, such as: F2A Buffalo fighter, F4F Wildcat fighter, and later F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair.
The Army Aviation starts with p, such as P40 Tomahawk, P38 Lightning, P47 Thunder, P51 Mustang fighter, etc. It was not until the end of World War II that the Air Force fighter model calibration began with f.
"Ding... the f4u was indeed used as a US Navy carrier-based aircraft at the beginning, but due to its own design problems, the nose was too long, which greatly affected the pilot's sight when the aircraft carrier landed, and was extremely prone to dangerous situations. All for a long time
It was used by the land-based air force assigned to the Marine Corps. It was not until after World War II that this problem was solved with the help of the British..."
Liao Mingyu listened to the system explanation attentively. Although he had seen this classic World War II fighter aircraft in magazines and some materials before, he still didn't know much about its details.
This fighter can be said to be one of the pinnacle works of World War II, but it is not comparable to the P40C currently used by Jamie and others.
The fuselage is 10.26 meters long, with a wingspan of 12.27 meters and a height of 4.5 meters. The relatively thin-looking Pirate has an empty weight of 4.2 tons, which is not as light as expected. It can carry nearly two and a half tons of fuel and weapons.
The biggest feature is its unique inverted gull-shaped wing, which has also become its unique symbol. The inverted gull-shaped wing allows the aircraft to have a short and strong landing gear and a large propeller without touching the deck.
.
In addition, the inverted gull-shaped wing can also improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and increase the aircraft's airspeed.
The most awesome thing is that it is equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp air-cooled radial engine, which has a maximum horsepower of an astonishing 2,000 horsepower. You must know that the engine horsepower of most fighter jets in this era is only about 1,500 horsepower.
The thin-skin Zero's Rong 12 engine doesn't even have a thousand horsepower, and it relies entirely on weight reduction and other means to achieve such maneuverability and climbing power.
In addition, the "Pirate" is also equipped with a large Hamilton standard propeller, with a 3-blade propeller diameter of 4.06 meters. As a result, its slightly heavy fuselage still has extraordinary maneuverability, with a top speed of 718km/h and a climb rate of
14.45m/s.
You must know that this data has set a new world record, and it has become the fastest and most capable fighter aircraft at that time.
The f4u has the largest propeller and the most powerful engine in the US Navy. It can be said to be the crystallization of cutting-edge technology. As a carrier-based aircraft, its performance is better than that of many land-based fighters, which is quite rare.
In the middle and late stages of the Pacific War, the Japanese Zero Type was beaten out of the air. The exchange ratio reached a terrifying 11:1. That is, the Japanese army lost only 11 Zero Types to shoot down one pirate. The abuse was simply horrible.
Compared with the HNA "good brother" F6F Hellcat, which also rubs the Zero on the ground, the f4u has many different characteristics.
The former is an air superiority fighter, with strong diving ability, low-altitude dogfighting and thick skin. Whether it is climbing at a high speed or a close dog fight, it will fight you in every situation. You can't beat me because I can resist beatings.
, just wait to die if you get caught up with me.
The latter is even more ruthless. Not only does it have a thick health bar, but it also has overwhelming data in all aspects. It cannot catch up or escape. In addition to its excellent aerial data, it can also undertake many ground attack tasks.
On the early models, six 12.7 mm M2 machine guns were installed on both wings with 2,350 rounds of ammunition. Eight rockets could be mounted under the wings, and a 500-pound aerial bomb could be carried under the belly. There were no rockets hung under the wings.
When bombing, it can also carry 1,500 pounds of bombs. This kind of loading capacity is even stronger than some medium bombers.
"Not bad, hehe... It's really good. Japan's little Hayabusa is like a little brother in front of it. Jamie will probably be very happy if he sees it."
Liao Mingyu sincerely admired that if such an air combat weapon could be formally put into the war, it would definitely dominate the skies of Southeast Asia.
However, the problem now is not the aircraft, but the pilots and ground crew. After all, the aircraft must be operated and repaired by someone to be effective. Otherwise, no matter how good the fighter plane is, it will be a pile of scrap metal just sitting there.
You have to eat one bite at a time. After all, it can be considered a new beginning. Fortunately, Smith has agreed to help solve this problem. Let's take our time.
"Report! Director Yu wants to see you." At this moment, a soldier's report suddenly came from outside the door.
Huh? Yu Sifan? Liao Mingyu was stunned and didn't know what he was doing here now.
"Come in."
Creaking…
"Take a seat!"
Yu Sifan pushed the door open with a few documents, and the first thing he did after entering was a serious salute.
"What's the matter?" Liao Mingyu asked casually.
"I have found the person you are asking about, and he is currently serving in the Shanxi-Sui Army. This is his file report. Please take a look."
After saying that, Yu Sifan respectfully handed over the document.
It turned out that this was the matter. Liao Mingyu immediately became energetic and excitedly took the document and started reading it.
Name: Hao Zhipeng, male. Origin: Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, born in the second year of the Republic of China, now 33 years old...
He joined the army in the 26th year of the Republic of China and currently serves in the 358th Regiment of the 101st Division of the 35th Army of the Jinsui Army. He participated in many battles such as the Battle of Suiyuan and the Battle of Taiyuan. Due to his bravery and meritorious service, he was appointed captain at the beginning of this year.
Company commander, other information is unknown.
This person's life was outlined in just a few words. Yu Sifan, who was standing aside, was still thinking wildly in his mind. Literally, he was just a little person that no one cared about, but he didn't know why Shen Zuo paid attention to him?
"That's right...this kid has fought a lot of tough battles."
Liao Mingyu murmured to himself, it seems that this man should have quite a lot of combat experience, but he has been a soldier for six or seven years before he can reach the rank of company commander. Either there is something wrong with him or he must have been suppressed enough, but from his last words
Judging from life experience, I am definitely not a timid person who is afraid of death and is unable to move forward.
That's right... this man is the son of Veterinary Hao, the young man who resolutely stood up against his superior when he decided to surrender to the enemy for glory.
Just out of jealousy of his talent, Hao Zhipeng stopped his commander's shameless behavior, but he didn't expect that people's hearts were sinister. After the incident was revealed, the commander was very tactless and distanced himself from the relationship. Instead, he slapped Hao Zhipeng on the head for surrendering to the enemy.
In the deceitful officialdom system, the truth is often not very important. What is important is that someone must stand up and take responsibility.
The cunning chief used his connections to operate and was easily freed from guilt and suspicion, while Hao Zhipeng, an upright and upright man from the northwest, became a living scapegoat.
He was obviously the upright and iron-blooded soldier, but he was sent to the execution ground for treason by his own people. He was spurned and insulted by countless people, and ended up with humiliation and hatred. There is nothing more bloody than this.
Although the evidence of treason is "conclusive", there are still some sensible people who know the cause of the matter. Hao Zhipeng's colleagues and comrades are one of them. However, because they are so humble, they can't change anything, so they can only write the truth in a letter and send it to Yu Zai.
Hao’s father in western Yunnan.
Who would have known that the veterinarian who learned the news could not accept the fact that his son died unjustly, and his only belief was crushed, so he chose to take his own life, just as he finally said to Meng Fangliao on the top of Jiqipo Mountain.
The same sentence: I am really sad to death...
If we calculate the time, it will be about half a year before the old man received the letter in the original time and space, which also means that the time when his son's troops encountered that incident is approaching.
