Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "Due to the serious lack of a sufficient number of technical personnel, many of our battle-damaged aircraft that could have been repaired can only be scrapped or can only be slowly repaired there.
Especially after the Soviet-German war started and all the Soviet technical personnel in our troops were evacuated, the maintenance speed of the aircraft became even slower."
"You can see the whole leopard when you take a look at one spot. This is true for ground operations, and pilots with higher requirements are not something that can be achieved overnight. No. 1, aren't there a lot of lawsuits filed against you by those military services competing for junior high school graduates?
?Our foundation is too weak, and some things cannot be solved in a hurry."
"The level of national basic education is high, and thousands of reserve pilots can be easily selected. But we have spent a lot of effort, and the standard has been lowered again and again, and at most it only reaches a few hundred people.
.Our military, which does not have the support of its own aviation industry, actually has more aircraft than pilots, which is quite abnormal."
"On the 1st, what we are facing is this situation and comprehensive strength level. We still have to eat one bite at a time, and the road still has to be walked step by step. On the road to building a powerful air force, there are some places where we must take big steps.
To catch up and break through the conventional model. In some places, we must adjust our steps. "Of course, we cannot stop eating because of choking, and the aviation force cannot be complacent and rest on its laurels just because of some achievements so far. But I think in some aspects, we should concentrate our limited strength first and
Don’t worry about doing the most basic things well. If you don’t have a good foundation, it will be useless no matter how high you set your goals.”
"Actually, on the 1st, aerial night interception operations in night air defense operations are a brand-new topic not only for us, but also for the Western powers. After the British military delegation arrived, I once looked at what I told them in detail.
Requested some information on the British-German air battle over Britain."
"Although the information provided by the British is very limited, I still see that even though they have a complete radar network to cooperate with operations and have dedicated night fighters, to be honest, the British's performance in night air combat can only be said to be average.
It is definitely far from good. Compared with the results achieved in daytime sky battles, the difference is too huge."
"As a long-established military power, the British have developed industries to rely on. What's more, we are far inferior to the British? So I think it's not that we shouldn't do it. But when we do it, we should
Be more cautious and never be radical or violate the laws of science."
"Actually, I feel that the training methods and methods previously formulated by the aviation force are relatively correct and more in line with our current actual situation. Night air combat is too difficult, so we must first gather a group of top people to create a group of troops that we can rescue in emergencies. First,
This will prevent us from running out of troops when necessary. Secondly, we can also train a group of qualified instructors in advance to train similar talents in large quantities in the future."
"Right now, we must focus more energy, personnel, materials and equipment, speed up the training of more pilots, and speed up their formation of combat effectiveness. We must first solve the problem of whether they have them or not. We can't always use those who have just learned to fly and have not yet begun to fly.
Send the imprisoned pilots to the battlefield?"
"Only when we have more and more outstanding pilots can we be better. Based on this, we can cultivate more outstanding pilots with superb skills. Only by truly laying a solid foundation can we face everything calmly.
challenges and threats, and further develop yourself.”
"No. 1, Chen Hanzhang's repairs and maintenance were not in place. The losses on the battlefield were only larger, but the most important people to us can survive. As long as the experienced crew can be retained, then as long as the equipment is replenished, it will still be
A combat-ready force."
"But if the ground maintenance of the aviation force is not in place, people will die. Once the pilot encounters an aircraft failure in the air, he cannot stop for repairs. Maintenance on the ground has the most fatal impact on the combat effectiveness of the aviation force.
.”
"And our pilots often value their aircraft more important than their lives. As long as there is a little hope, they will try their best to rescue the aircraft. In other words, once our combat aircraft encounters danger in the air, we will
It is very likely that the pilot will be lost as well."
"This situation has happened many times in our aviation force. Although you have repeatedly emphasized that the pilot must be saved first, it is still not uncommon for the pilot to protect the aircraft and eventually both the man and the aircraft are lost. And these losses are due to combat losses.
It is unavoidable. But because the ground maintenance is not in place and the aircraft has problems in the air and is lost, it is a serious waste."
After Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "You're right, trying to encourage growth can only be counterproductive. Our foundation is really too thin. Although the military's cultural level has been improved after several efforts, overall it is
Some are too low.”
"Most of our pilots are graduates of the Puppet Manchukuo Junior High School. Perhaps for general combat troops, this level of education is enough. But for a high-tech military service like pilots, it seems to be a bit low. This is also related to
The national conditions are related to our own situation, which we cannot completely solve in a short time."
"The aviation force came up with such an idea based on their own situation. I am afraid I was forced to be a little anxious. There is no other way. What I am actually angry about is not that they fooled me in private, but their vision, and
He is full of family spirit."
"With the development of the aviation industry and the increasing advancement of air tactics, devastating strategic bombings are carried out at night against enemy-controlled areas and territories to destroy the enemy's industrial base for sustaining the war, and to break the enemy's people's morale and war determination.
It has become a strategic tool for all major powers."
"The Japanese bombing of Chongqing and the German bombing of London were all based on this idea. When this kind of strategic bombing becomes a normal and important method, this kind of air combat will become more and more cruel. And at night
Bombing, because it is more difficult to intercept, can cause our own battle losses to be relatively light."
"Not only do the aircraft participating in combat have a high chance of being saved, but more importantly, the aircraft are relatively safe, so the pilots can also be saved. Our number of pilots is not large, but compared to the Western powers, especially Britain, Germany and the Soviet Union,
The size of our aviation force cannot be compared with theirs."
"Our small scale means we need a smaller number of pilots. Their tens of thousands of planes require an even larger number of pilots. Especially those veteran pilots who have shot down enemy planes and completed many bombing missions.
It is not only important for an army like ours. It is also quite precious for great powers like Britain and Germany."
"Visibility is good during the day. If it is equipped with ground reconnaissance guidance and a complete ground observation and early warning network, it is not very difficult to intercept bombing operations. Even without radar, it is possible to judge the route and use wired phones and telescopes to form a
Zhang’s simple air defense early warning network.”
"But such an air defense early warning network will lose its effect at night. Therefore, the risk of bombing during the day is much higher than that of bombing at night. As long as the navigation problem is solved, night bombing will become a very effective and at the same time
A strategic killing method that can avoid excessive battle losses.”
"Even if there are specialized night interception fighters, catching a bomber in the night sky is not a simple matter. So I think that compared to daytime when visibility is good, nighttime air defense interception operations will become a kind of operation in the future.
Common means of warfare."
"Lao Guo, just watch. As the war that has almost spread throughout the world becomes more and more intense, the method of strategic bombing of enemy territory at night will become even more cruel. Even from the air
It is no longer impossible to wipe out a city."
"Now the British and German troops have set an example on the European battlefield. In the Battle of Britain, a large part of the German air raids on London and the British retaliatory bombings against Germany were carried out at night. This tactic actually
It's very simple. There's nothing special about it. It requires almost no special study. As long as you have strategic bombers, you can do it completely."
"Especially once the United States, which has a strong aviation industry, enters the war, this tactic will become the norm. Although the Japanese do not have as strong an industrial foundation as the United States, Britain and Germany, they have their own complete aviation industry, which can continuously provide them with new weapons.
Combat aircraft.”
"I am very worried that in the next battle, the Japanese army will switch to night bombing if it suffers heavy losses from daytime bombing. The Japanese army will not give up its attempt to destroy our industrial system. If it cannot achieve its goal in ground operations, aerial bombing will become its other option.
The most likely choice. Especially when its so-called allies have precedents to follow."
"I have repeatedly raised this issue with the aviation force when it was first established. I asked them that even if each batch of trained pilots can only select a small number of pilots who can carry out night air combat, they must also be trained and trained.
Even if we cannot go to the battlefield for a while, we should still serve as a reserve of talents."
"After crashing more than a dozen planes, I don't dare to continue. Isn't this a petty attitude? All achievements require a lot of hard work. You have to work hard in training, but you have to pay hard on the battlefield.
The cost is even greater. And if you can’t even spare this small amount of money, then how can you talk about development?”
"What I'm angry about is that they don't have any strategic vision at all. They only care about the three melons and two dates in their pockets. They don't know how to take a longer-term view, for fear that if their actions are too big, they will destroy all their wealth.
I am afraid of doing things and dare not let go of my hands and feet to do it."
"If the plane crashes, it crashes. As long as the pilots are trained, the price is worth it. Even if you have to pay some price during training, it is worth it. Whether you can train a certain number of night combat pilots depends on strategic vision.
issues, rather than purely tactical issues."
"Not to mention that we still have a batch of reserve fighter jets in our hands. We can guarantee to replenish losses at any time in a short period of time. Even if we don't have them, I would rather have personnel and other equipment than equipment and personnel. That is a kind of situation.
The real waste. Because what is the most wasteful thing in the world? It is the waste of talent and the waste of time."
Yang Zhen's petty comments, but Guo Bingxun could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Who doesn't regard every aircraft as a treasure now? More than a dozen new American-made fighter jets actually fell when they fell. All the entire Chinese military combined,
I'm afraid only your brother has this courage.
You must know that even the most wealthy National Government in the country does not have the confidence to say that it will not use more than a dozen of the latest American fighter jets if they fall. Even if it sweats more in peacetime and bleeds less in war, it cannot be so lavish.
