Devil's Army

The next morning, five warships of the First Navy and ten Golden Eagle IIs escorted the small freighter Hangzhou through the Jinzhou waters.

Before leaving, Jackal gave Wang Tao a task, which was to persuade Deputy Director Zheng to exchange fuel for penicillin.

After a period of training and continuous fighting, the First Army Navy had less than half of the fuel left in the small oil depot on Huludao Island.

Wang Tao said with some embarrassment: "Fuel is now a scarce military material under control, and it is difficult to get it."

"Ask Deputy Director Zheng for help. He will find a way." Jackal patted Wang Tao on the shoulder and said.

Wang Tao nodded. He knew that he was just a person in charge of the Hangzhou station, and the level gap between him and Deputy Director Zheng was too big. He was not sure whether Deputy Director Zheng would help him.

The five warships and the small freighter from Hangzhou set off in a mighty procession. When they entered the waters off Jinzhou, everyone looked very nervous.

What relieved everyone was that no Japanese warships were found until the small freighter from Hangzhou left the Jinzhou waters.

The fleet of the First Army did not stay in the Jinzhou waters for too long and quickly returned to Huludao, completing this escort and training mission.

Technician Luo and his team urged Leng Feng and his team to return to the Oroqen tribe as early as the second day after arriving in Huludao.

When they arrived at the Oroqen tribe, Leng Feng took Instructors Yin and Luo to the Air Force Academy.

At this time, the pilot instructor was teaching the students. Leng Feng waited until the students finished their get out of class and introduced the two new instructors to the students. He also let the new instructors and the pilot instructor get to know each other through the translator.

After everyone got to know each other, Instructors Yin and Luo did not leave. Instead, they sat in the back of the classroom and listened to the pilot instructor's lecture. He wanted to understand how far the students had learned so that he could be more targeted in tomorrow's class.

After listening to the class for a while, the two new instructors realized that the pilot instructor was still teaching about the structure of the aircraft.

Instructor Yin discussed with Leng Feng and decided that the pilot instructor would mainly teach the students about aircraft structure and combat skills, while he and Instructor Luo would mainly teach the pilots about flying skills. He would teach the next class so that the pilot instructor could take a break.

Leng Feng would certainly love to have this opportunity, but he was worried that Instructor Yin and the others were tired from the journey and not prepared.

Yin Fuqiang smiled and said, "I give lectures every day at the Jianqiao Aviation School. Giving lectures to students is a piece of cake. Why would I need any preparation?"

So the pilot instructor had a rare chance to rest, and the next two classes were taught by Instructors Yin and Luo.

Wen Lang brought Technician Luo and Xu Zhiwei to the research department, and Wen Lang introduced them to Professor Hong and Professor Xu.

Technician Luo looked at the research progress of Professor Hong and found that their current research on the aircraft is still at the stage of exterior design. After all, starting from scratch is much more difficult than copying all the mature foreign technologies.

Technician Luo immediately handed the drawings and data he brought from the Jiangqiao Aircraft Manufacturing Plant to Professor Hong and Professor Xu for review.

Professor Hong and Professor Xu were pleasantly surprised to find that the drawings and data provided by Technician Luo included drawings and data of trainer aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, bomber and fighter aircraft. Their aircraft factory could independently produce their own aircraft based on these drawings and data.

At this time, Wenlang pointed out that the Hawk-3 fighters and Vultr bombers produced by the Jiangqiao Aircraft Manufacturing Plant were both subsonic aircraft, and we had to produce supersonic aircraft in one step.

At that time, the Lanqiao Aircraft Manufacturing Plant could only produce this type of subsonic aircraft. It was the first time that Technician Luo and his colleagues heard of the concept of supersonic aircraft, and they could not help but look at Wenlang in surprise.

At present, our First Army Air Force has no aircraft. We will first produce a batch of trainer aircraft for cadets to train, and then produce a batch of mature Hawke-3 fighters and Vultir bombers. First solve the problem of whether our air force has it or not, and then develop it to a better level.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Wenlang's development idea. Then Wenlang said to everyone:

"Come with me, I'll show you something good."

Wenlang took everyone to a large warehouse where aircraft materials were stored.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of raw materials for making aircraft fuselages were stored inside.

"Everyone touched the raw materials and felt what was different."

Technician Luo stepped forward and knocked on the raw materials and said, "The sound sounds quite crisp."

"These are aluminum alloy materials containing trace elements of titanium, which are extracted from our own smelter. They are stronger than the Japanese aircraft, but lighter and more flexible. This is also the reason why I dare to propose the production of supersonic aircraft."

"You have your own smelter?" Technician Luo asked in surprise.

"We not only have our own smelter, we also have our own coal mines, copper mines and gold mines. The gold mine provides us with the funds needed to purchase weapons and equipment, and the copper mine provides us with the raw materials for producing weapons and ammunition. The titanium-aluminum alloy we produce is extracted from the ore dug out of our own copper mine."

Touching the pieces of alloy, Technician Luo and Xu Zhiwei decided to stay.

In the Jianqiao Aircraft Factory, they could only mechanically imitate foreign aircraft. Here they have more room to display their skills.
