The test flight of a new fighter aircraft is a very dangerous thing. This "Baiji" destined to be numbered 1-001 has not even been tested in a wind tunnel. All the data are theoretical. Although because of the computer The data obtained from various simulated test environments are relatively reliable, but the risk is actually a bit more dangerous than those obtained from normal experiments.
The fighter plane was slowly pulled out of the underground workshop by the tractor and entered the elevator. Ouyang Yun, surrounded by Hou Debang, Tie Linfei, Zhang Jiacheng and others, walked to the ground and went to the airport to wait. On the way, he asked Tielin Fei for advice. Opinion: "Lao Tie, let someone else do this first test flight. To be honest, I don't know what to do."
Tielin Fei smiled and said: "Not everyone can be a test pilot. Western countries have always selected the most experienced pilots to serve as pilots. I am personally very optimistic about this fighter plane. Don't worry, everything will be fine." .”
Hearing what he said, Ouyang Yun didn't know what to say. Before he got on the plane, he just emphasized again and again that if there was any danger, he would parachute immediately. Saving people was his first priority.
The plane took off very smoothly. Amidst the roar of the huge aircraft engine, the nose of the fighter plane, which had not yet been painted and was covered with rivets, suddenly raised. The next moment, it broke away from the gravity of the earth and roared into the sky. ,
In the airport navigation tower, Ouyang Yunjing stood behind Zhang Jiacheng, listening to him shouting: "...please report various data."
"Height 3673 meters, speed 612 kilometers..."
"Okay, keep this state for ten minutes."
Ten minutes passed, Zhang Jiacheng made a request to Tie Linfei again...
This test flight lasted for half an hour in total, and only tested some basic values. Ouyang Yun knew a little bit about these because of his experience in that time and space. After reading the data recorded by Zhang Jiacheng, he was as happy as a child.
"It was very successful." Finally, he and Hou Debang exchanged opinions, and everyone was very happy.
"The next test flight is to test the climb rate and maneuverability. After passing this level, the aircraft will be finalized. Then, it will be the testing and improvement of weapons and electronic instruments. Commander-in-Chief, I think this aircraft There is no problem with the plane at all." This was the first thing Tie Linfei said after landing on the ground. His face was flushed and he seemed very excited.
The aircraft was tested three times in a week. Hou Debang and others then spent about a month improving and perfecting it. During this period, it was flown nine more times. In one of them, an auxiliary fuel tank was added to consume all the fuel. For fuel, all tests have been completed, officially finalized, and put into production.
In the past month and a half, Ouyang Yun spent most of his time in the research and development institute, urging the research and development of various new weapons. After the Xuebing Army settled in Fujian and Guangdong, although it once encountered an economic crisis, Ouyang Yun's investment in scientific research , but it has grown exponentially, and the scientific researchers headed by Hou Debang have lived up to his investment. After nearly one and a half years of intense construction and research and development, it has now been finalized and put into production. In terms of aircraft alone, there is "Xue 1" "type fighter aircraft, "Shan Ying I" type helicopter, and "LZ-I" type long-range bomber. Among them, the "LZ-I" type long-range bomber is an upgraded version of the "L-19" type assembled in Guangdong. The difference between the former and the latter is that a low-power radar is installed in the cab, and three rocket launchers are mounted on the lower abdomen and at the roots of the wings.
The development of tanks and other combat vehicles has become mature. There are four series of tanks derived from the "Jiguang" tank family, including medium and heavy-duty tanks derived from the "Jiguang L" type. Tanks, air defense combat vehicles derived from the "Jiguang LK" type, self-propelled artillery of the "Jiguang ZH" series, heavy armored vehicles of the "Jiguang ZJ" series; and car series derived from the "Great Wall" off-road vehicles also include Four varieties, including "Great Wall Brand" military trucks, "Great Wall Brand" light armored vehicles, "Great Wall Brand" off-road vehicles, "Great Wall Brand" multi-purpose vehicles (including command vehicles, medical vehicles, etc.),
In terms of infantry weapons, various types of firearms have been improved and developed based on the Weiqing assault rifle and the general-purpose machine gun. On this basis, special grenade guns and flamethrowers are also available. It can be said that , as long as there is enough time, it is entirely possible for the Xuebing Army to grow into a modern army like Ouyang Yun's ideal,
The advanced weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army were already on display during the Battle of Nanjing. Although the two Sichuan generals Liu Yuqing and Rao Guohua were envious of the Xuebing Army's equipment at the time, they only thought that its advanced level was just that. Unexpectedly, , when they really came to Fujian and Guangdong and fully joined the Xue Bing Army camp, they realized that what Ouyang Yun brought to Nanjing was just the tip of the iceberg. The Xue Bing Army, an armed monster, not only had advanced individual weapons, but also powerful tanks. , can actually produce their own fighter planes. With such strength, not to mention local warlords like the Sichuan Army, even the Central Army cannot match it at all. This made them unconsciously feel a little more powerful when facing Ouyang Yun. Respectful, but not as harmonious as they were when fighting together in Nanjing.
The Japanese army was sharpening their swords, and it was only a matter of time before they launched troops against Fujian and Guangdong. As the Japanese army planned to start military exercises on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang, and sent warships along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to harass places, the situation in Fujian and Guangdong, which originally seemed calm, suddenly had an undercurrent. The common people who had once accepted the existence of the Xuebing Army and felt at ease were panicked and couldn't help but worry about the future.
The social atmosphere has affected the morale of the military to some extent. The generals of the "Yun Party" headed by Li Tieshu were determined to follow Ouyang Yun. Although some were panicked in their hearts, they expressed no inappropriate behavior openly, and those who were not "Yun Party" The performance of the generals was a bit unbearable, especially the middle and low-level officers of the 61st Division and the 78th Division. These people began to get together frequently and form gangs, and some even took the initiative. He took the lead and had frequent contact with the representatives of the Fuxing Society in Fujian.
As the old saying goes: The courage of the soldiers, the anomalies of the officers, affected the morale of the army. Among the three divisions, two division commanders, Ou Shounian and Lin Baiyin, quickly reported the situation to Jiang Guangnai. Genkou learned that Ouyang Yun gave him full authority to handle it, but he felt that the matter was of great importance and was too easy to stir up trouble, so he did not dare to take it lightly. In the end, he still bothered Ouyang Yun and asked him to find a way to properly resolve it. He also said that if the response is not appropriate, when the Japanese South China Front attacks Fujian, it is very likely that the Fourth Army will collapse without a fight.
Jiang Guangnai is a famous general in the world. He is not only a veteran of the Fujian clan, but also a famous patriot. In addition, he and Lao Jiang are extremely difficult to deal with, so Ouyang Yun dares to let him sit in Fujian. He did this because he wanted to sell Jiang Guangnai is a good person, and he has less to worry about, but the situation of the 61st Division and the 78th Division is really complicated. Although Jiang Guangnai is willing to help him take care of this, the time is too short, and the external situation It was too sinister. After Jiang Guangnai worked hard for a period of time and saw little effect, he gave up this idea and turned to developing security forces wholeheartedly. Now, he has organized two divisions of security forces. In his own opinion, , these two security divisions are no worse than the 61st Division and other former Fujian troops, so they don’t want to wade into this muddy water.
The matter was finally handed over to Ouyang Yun. After convening a meeting with senior generals such as Jiang Guangnai, Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, and Li Hanhun, he decided to hold a large-scale military exercise to boost military morale and at the same time give the Japanese
There is also a warning to some domestic careerists:
As a group army organization, the Xuebing Army now has three branches: sea, land and air, each with a headquarters. Among them, the naval headquarters has two fleets (division-level organization), and the first fleet has 13 gunboats and four torpedoes.
speedboats; the Second Fleet has five gunboats and fifteen torpedo boats; the Air Force has five aviation divisions, the first division is the fighter division; the second division is the bomber division; the third division
It is a mixed division (the fighter aircraft group becomes reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets); the fourth division is also a bomber division, but unlike the second division, all the bombers equipped are long-range bombers, which can not only perform bombing missions, but also be responsible for airhead missions;
The fifth division is a helicopter division (the helicopter division is now only an airhead division. Although there are two aviation groups in the personnel establishment, there are no helicopters.
Pilots have dual affiliations. Although personnel relations are subordinate to the Air Force Headquarters, command authority is delegated to each army in groups). In the Army, there is a mountain division, a special operations brigade, and a special operations brigade directly under the headquarters.
The paratrooper division is a paratrooper division; the regular army has five corps, each of which has an independent brigade, a self-propelled heavy artillery brigade, and a helicopter flight
The brigade has three Class A divisions under its jurisdiction. In addition to the regular army with five corps structures, the Army also has seven division-sized security groups and five division-sized guerrilla groups. Among them, the security forces of the seven divisions have two headquarters.
, respectively Guangdong Security Command and Fujian Security Command; the guerrillas have a separate headquarters. Each of these three headquarters has its own leadership system and is only responsible to Ouyang Yun.
After the expansion of the Xuebing Army, there have been major adjustments in personnel. As the top military and political leader of Fujian and Guangdong, Ouyang Yun not only serves as the director of the Fujian and Guangdong special zones, but also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army and concurrently as the army commander. The deputy commander-in-chief is Li Tieshu and Li Tieshu.
Li Hanhun serves as the chief of general staff, Jiang Guangnai serves as the chief of general staff, and Ji Xingwen serves as the general political director. Among them, Li Tieshu holds two additional positions, including deputy commander of the army.
, the commander of the First Xue Army; Jiang Guangnai concurrently served as the Fujian Appeasement Director and Security Commander, and the commander of the Fourth Xue Army; Li Hanhun concurrently served as the Navy Commander and the Commander of the Second Xue Army; Ji Xingwen concurrently served as the Army Chief of Staff and Political Director
Guo Biao is appointed as the security commander of Guangdong. He is also the brigade commander of the Langya Special Forces Brigade; the guerrilla commander is Chu Tiange. As a veteran of the military academy, he also holds an important position and is the chief instructor of the reserve force.
