Yang Zhen, who is familiar with history, does not want to repeat the mistakes of Germany and Japan in the following years, but the current reality is that Yang Zhen has to bite the bullet and get the ducks on the shelves, allowing those pilots who have just completed training to go to the battlefield. Under the flames of war,
It is mature. Fortunately, the Japanese have always been stingy and are not as generous as the Americans a few years later. Even the largest fleet dispatched, more than a hundred aircraft, will end.
Moreover, the armor and firepower of the Japanese bombers are far less abnormal than those of the US bombers. In addition, the slow supply of new combat aircraft will not cause the aviation force to bleed too fast. If it is like the US military, there will be a thousand aircraft at every turn.
Bombing. Or the aircraft replenishment far exceeds the consumption. I am afraid that the small amount of aviation force the Anti-Japanese Alliance has on hand cannot last for a year.
In fact, the current recruitment of pilots is slow, and it is not a problem with the pilot training system. According to Yang Zhen's design, the anti-league pilot training system can even be said to be the most advanced in the world. Although it is due to the lack of intermediate trainer aircraft, and the lack of junior trainer aircraft
Then go directly to the advanced training aircraft. Change the three-level training system in general countries to two-level training.
But for each pilot, before they actually go to the battlefield, they have to conduct air combat simulation training with various enemy aircraft that have been painstakingly collected. This includes not only various Japanese fighter aircraft, but also those transferred from Jiangbei.
American fighter jets have arrived in large numbers, and various miscellaneous aircraft have been turned into reserve forces.
In addition to air combat training, the training for fighter pilots also includes various trainings such as attacks on bombers, transport aircraft, and ground attacks, as well as all training to deal with various emergency situations encountered in air combat. And this
Yang Zhen also mandated that the simulated actual combat training must last for more than twenty hours.
Not only do they have to go through actual combat training, but the positions of pilots of each aircraft type are not fixed. They all have a certain amount of flight training time every year. In other words, bomber pilots have to spend one or two hours of flying time every year.
The same goes for pilots of fighter jets and transport aircraft. This training model is unique in the world.
The problem lies in the selection of personnel and the supply of fuel and parts. The most fundamental one is the selection of pilots. The population base of the base area is too thin, and the selection conditions for pilots are too high. It requires both a certain level of education and
Despite the considerable physical requirements, the selection of pilots has not been fast enough to meet the needs of the development of the army.
Although the training of the first batch of aviation troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance only took a little more than half a year, what kind of training method was it? All pilots were carefully selected from the entire army at the company and platoon level and had a certain cultural foundation.
cadres, as well as graduates of the Puppet Manchukuo National High School selected in the base area.
These people studied flight skills during the day and theory and Russian language at night. In less than two months, the first batch of pilots flew solo. In order to gain speed, they trained without stopping for more than half a year.
A group of selected pilots even crashed their planes due to excessive fatigue under intense training and training.
This kind of training method can be used in emergencies, but it cannot last long. Within half a year of training, nearly ten Soviet-made wave-2 training aircraft alone were dropped, and more than ten people were injured or killed due to high-intensity training. Jiangbei was used to train the Anti-Japanese Federation
According to the air force personnel of the aviation force, Chinese comrades are crazy.
If subsequent pilot training is still carried out according to this standard, judging from the current situation that all aviation training has been transferred to the base area. Not to mention that these carefully selected pilot students cannot afford to lose, even the most basic trainer aircraft
Can't afford to fall.
The entire army now only has more than thirty Bo-2 trainer aircraft, twenty American-made trainer aircraft, more than ten Japanese-made Type 99 advanced trainer aircraft captured in Harbin and a batch of miscellaneous trainer aircraft. If it falls at this speed, use
Soon, I'm afraid there won't be even one training aircraft in the three aviation schools.
After the first batch of pilots graduated, despite the urgent need for a large number of pilots, Yang Zhen made up his mind to modify the aviation training syllabus after studying with the aviation force. The training event was extended to ten months, but the number of hours of flight training was
Ten hours added. This makes the speed even slower.
What's more, as a technology-intensive service, aviation not only requires a large number of educated pilots, but also has certain requirements for the educational level of ground staff. Let an illiterate guy who can't even understand the principle of an engine repair a plane like this.
One of the most high-tech airplanes of our time, isn’t that a big joke?
The population is sparse and the cultural foundation is too weak, which makes it difficult to select pilots. Although priority has been given to the aviation force, the gap in personnel is still huge. With other military branches also developing rapidly, Yang Zhen cannot always recruit all the pilots.
It would be appropriate to allocate the entire population to aviation.
Not only the aviation force, but also the artillery and armored forces in the army's technology-intensive arms, and even the military industry department, also need a large number of intellectuals. A modern army needs not only strong generals who are good at fighting, but also a large number of them.
of intellectuals.
The problem of lack of technical personnel does not only appear in the aviation force. The armored force, which is currently receiving large-scale tanks shipped from Jiangbei, also has considerable problems. There is always a shortage of technical personnel, which has become Chen Hanzhang's biggest headache at the moment. Whether it is
The cadres transferred by the central government are also cadres selected by the army themselves, and they have indeed rich practical experience.
But the cultural level is too poor. Many people can barely read newspapers and understand maps. They all learned it in the army. What is ABC and what is the principle of carburetor?
It is really difficult for people who don’t know anything to learn how to repair tank transmitters.
Although the tank is made of steel and looks rough and thick-skinned, in fact, as the most technologically advanced unit and equipment in the army, it is also very tight inside. Its emergency repair capabilities are directly related to the success of this unit.
combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
In the base area, not to mention college students, even graduates from national high schools are far from meeting the needs, and there are even insufficient people of suitable age for recruitment. The foundation is too thin, and the selection speed of technical personnel in various professional arms, including pilots, cannot keep up.
The rapid development has almost become a worry in Yang Zhen's heart.
After all, I had repeatedly emphasized that only personnel were waiting for equipment here, and equipment must not wait for people. But now it is happening right in front of me. According to the actual situation in the area, it is difficult to support the large-scale expansion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Even if it is
Even though a big city like Harbin was captured, the supply and demand ratio of intellectuals was still far from meeting the needs despite the need for an inventory.
Three thousand people, not to mention it will take a long time to go to the Northeast together. Even after arriving in the Northeast, it will be difficult to use without more than a year of training. There is no way, almost all schools in Chongqing have grasped the situation
Under the circumstances, with the education level across the country being low, these three thousand people are already the greatest efforts of the central government. Before Yang Zhen flew back to the northeast from northern Shaanxi, although the central government had promised to do everything possible within three months,
All efforts were made to recruit 3,000 intellectuals with middle school education and above for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but water from afar could not quench the thirst for nearness. Not to mention the mere concentration of these 3,000 people, the transfer would take three months or more. Even if they arrived in the Northeast
After that, it would be impossible to work without more than one year of training. Yang Zhen also knew that these 3,000 cadres with junior high school education and above were not very well educated for an army, and even many commanders at the division level were still illiterate.
For the army, almost everything has been spent. From this point of view, the central government is really trying to sell iron.
Although Yang Zhen is not satisfied with the educational level of these people, he can only make do with it for the time being. Think about the situation in later generations when college graduates are all over the streets and are even cheaper than pork. And now junior high schools have become popular in later generations.
The low hydration level has become the status quo of intellectuals, and Yang Zhen can only smile bitterly without saying anything.
You have to know that in the future, unless you really don’t want to hang out in school, it will be difficult for most people to get a junior high school diploma. Even the gangsters on the street who are carrying kitchen knives to chop people are at least junior high school graduates. But
Nowadays, a junior high school graduate is almost indeed a pretty good intellectual. As for a college student, that is even more priceless.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about the reason why the only thing he did after arriving in northern Jiangsu from Wannan was to shoot to death a brigade political commissar of the Suluyu Detachment of the 18th Group Army that had not yet been assigned to the New Fourth Army.
No matter what was done within the Fifth Division, logically speaking, it was definitely not under the control of himself, the political commissar of the New Fourth Army who had actually resigned.
But after hearing that a cadre from the southward detachment of the 18th Group Army who had just been transferred to the New Fourth Army came to the meeting, he said that this guy killed more than a dozen anti-Japanese students who joined the army in one go in the name of a Trotskyist and made false accusations.
After later generations saw certain events when reading certain war histories, Yang Zhen immediately ordered the arrest of this guy who was attending a meeting in northern Jiangsu.
After a hasty interrogation, Yang Zhen exercised the final decision-making power of his political commissar for the first time. Regardless of the opposition of everyone, he ordered this guy who had gone through the Long March to be shot. How many local cadres he had killed, Yang Zhen had neither control nor care.
The 15th Division's own internal affairs. However, there are more than a dozen young students who joined the army, including several college cadres, and the rest have at least graduated from high school.
This number made Yang Zhen's heart ache and almost bleed: "I want to get a college student but I don't have any place to do it. I might as well just kill you, you damn prodigal bastard. I'll keep scum like you."
What's the use?" If others hadn't stopped him, especially the First Secretary of the East China Bureau, whom Yang Zhen respected very much, Yang Zhen would have almost killed him with his own hands.
With Yang Zhen's character, he would not have been so reckless if it were not to protect the intellectuals in the Suluyu detachment. In order to protect the intellectuals from persecution, and for the dozen young students who were unjustly killed, he shot and killed one who had gone through the Long March.
For regimental cadres, this is the first time in this army, which has experienced many large-scale counter-revolutionary campaigns and many cadres and soldiers have been unjustly killed.
Although Yang Zhen's move caused dissatisfaction among some people in the army, it also attracted a lot of criticism. Many people thought that he stretched his hand too long and went too far. If all the cadres in the army did this,
, then who would dare to oppose the special forces? But he won the favor of the majority of intellectuals. To use the later saying of the New Fourth Army cadres, they were angry for beauty, while Political Commissar Yang was angry for knowledge.
