Chapter 25: The Elite Gather to Repair
When several sy-1 transport planes loaded with Lafitte squad pilots flew to Nancy City, night had already enveloped the place. The reaction on the ground made the pilots on the plane feel both novel and surprising, and the smart guy had already thought of it in his mind.
"It seems that the battle here will be very interesting in the future."
Two long rows of lights suddenly appeared on the ground, not only identifying the location where they entered the field, but also illuminating the runway. Although the lights were not strong, they were enough to make the pilot's keen eyes noticed at night.
At the same time, the lights of large and small searchlights were also lit near the airport. The light columns of the searchlights were circling around the sky, providing close-range fire support for their safe landing.
This is a searchlight on an air defense vehicle near the airport. A searchlight synchronized with a 35mm machine gun or a 12.7mm machine gun is installed on the chassis of the armored vehicles. It is not only convenient for maneuvering, but also allows them to fight at night.
This airport is actually the airport for the future air route of Nancy City. It was invested and built by Nancy City. Of course, for the safety of Nancy City, it is temporarily stationed and used by Thunder International's air force. During the war, the residents of Nancy City had such an air protection umbrella that made them feel relieved.
Major General Emil Delion and his adjutant were also coming to Nancy with Lafitte's team. His purpose was to take over the city defense as soon as possible and prepare for the deployment of Thunder International for the subsequent combat operations.
The welcome meeting held in the newly built airport waiting hall of Nancy City was extremely warm. This not only included senior executives of the company led by Tang Yunyang and officers of Thunder International, but also some socialites invited from Nancy City to participate.
Because there were many young soldiers, a buffet-style dance party was held at this time. The wine and beauty not only made the Americans in the Lafitte team pretend to be more decent gentlemanly as their commander Captain Joe Jesse Senott, but also made the hearts of these guys who had just come down from the battlefield and their blood boiled.
When the music sounded, a pair of young people slid into the dance floor. It was obvious that the pilots of the Lafitte team were satisfied with Tang Yunyang's arrangement, and at least they had a great time that night.
As for Major General Emil Delion, Captain Joez Senott, including Tang Yunyang, shortly after the atmosphere became warm, he quietly left here and drove to the castle. As for how they talked so hard that no one knew, the changes on the next day surprised everyone.
"Look, these are our new planes, my god, these babies are so fucking charming!"
As always, Koenig Campbell, who was accustomed to playing tricks, was the first to scream. Indeed, these Newburgh 11-f fighters transformed by Mike Prince Merlin Military Industry Group are indeed more charming.
The transparent, transparent canopy cover that opens to one side indicates that the pilots will no longer have to be attacked by wind and rain. In addition, the wings seem to be much thicker, and even the pulling wires that produce considerable resistance in the two wings are gone. The laminated fuselage using a honeycomb structure is not only lighter than the albatross, but also stronger.
The engine was naturally replaced with a water-cooled V-shaped eight-cylinder "Ispano. Xiza" engine with a thrust-weight ratio of 13.5. At the same time, the landing gear was designed with a simple folding device, so that when the aircraft was flying in the air, the landing gear with huge resistance folded backwards, and the two wheels were close to both sides of the belly of the aircraft.
Seeing such a beautiful plane, the blow to their squadron leader Riu Lubery was even heavier. He may not be able to take off the air to fight again in the future.
According to the orders of Major General Emile Delion, the Lafitte team led by Captain Joez Senott will form a joint air force with the Thunder International flight team. As before, he will be responsible for all the work on the ground airport. The flying team will be led by the ace flying team of the Lafitte team, and the orders received by the squadron leader Ryu Lubery are the most peculiar.
"Ah, this bastard, I arranged the life I least want for me. Look, after the war is over, I will definitely make him look good!"
Lieutenant Reu Lubery looked at his young team members, thinking of his annoying fate as he watched his young team members gather around the new aircraft that had not been painted with the aircraft badge.
According to the appointment he received, he was still the squadron commander of the Joint Air Force. But his future daytime life will mostly be spent in the sky. Because he will board the newly produced Thunder International, using the atmosphere "H-1" airship produced by Tang Yunyang's helium production equipment brought back from the United States, to perform air warning and air combat command in the air.
It is said that the airship has not only complete observation equipment, but also complete radio communication equipment, whether it is wireless telegraph or radio telephone equipment. In addition to the radio telephone reception device (radio), these new Newburgh 11-f aircraft also have improved radio generators, which will indicate the location of each parachuting pilot so that they can be rescued smoothly.
Of course, there are naturally no "radar" and other things on the airship at this time, but excellent remote-looking equipment makes their observation distance in a clear sky reach 60 kilometers. This is 20 kilometers more than the distance of about 40 kilometers for those looking watchers on the sea. One is because of the altitude, and the other is because of the precise remote-looking equipment.
This makes it impossible for such early warning airships to provide air warnings, but also the mobilization of ground troops is difficult to escape their gaze. The most important thing is that its ceiling is nearly 1,000 meters higher than the highest flying aircraft now, which means that it basically does not need escort when performing missions.
Therefore, not only are there air force commanders like Lubery on this airship, but also artillery and infantry reconnaissance personnel also squeezed on this airship. Of course, they had to accept the command of Ruiwu Lubery when on duty on the airship.
Only one airship has been completed for the time being, and the other nine that have started construction are still under construction. In addition, long-range airships that have imitated large German airships and built into such "h" airships are under construction, and as many as 30 airships have begun construction at the same time.

Their daily mission is to fly at the edge of the fighter's protection range during every good weather period to provide a complete warning to Nancy City. A small team of Newburgh 11-f will patrol near them to protect their safety.
