Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

In addition, our fighter pilots were all recruited by Kong Hao through the system. They are the aces among aces. The second-tier army pilots of the Japanese are not qualified to be compared with our pilots.

The two sides fought for only two rounds before the enemy's fighter plane was shot down by our side. The bomber piloted by Yamazaki had just run a few kilometers away when it was caught up by instructor James' plane. After being hit by hundreds of 12.7mm bullets, it fell straight down with black smoke.

This rare air battle, although it lasted less than ten minutes, ended with our side's great victory, even with a shocking record of 0:4, but it is also a rare event in this area.

Apart from consuming thousands of bullets, we didn't even suffer any damage to the paint on the plane. It can be said that we won a great victory.

Captain Fan witnessed the air battle just now. His mouth was so wide open that he could swallow an ostrich egg. It was incredible.

After a while, he stammered, "This, this, is unbelievable. You actually have such an ace card. This is an airplane, something we Sichuan Army have always dreamed of. It appeared before our eyes, and its performance far exceeds that of the Japanese."

Kong Hao quickly responded politely: "This is a routine operation and also our Air Force's first battle. So far, it seems that the effect is quite good."

"It's a pity that we don't have many planes. We can only spare two to provide support at the moment, and they can only barely handle small situations like this. If the enemy sends out dozens of planes at once, we won't be able to cope."

After all, the Sichuan Army is just a friendly force. There is no problem in showing its strength appropriately, but it is not possible to expose all of its strength.

In fact, our base currently has eight fighter jets, six bombers, sixteen large transport aircraft and twenty-two training aircraft of various models, as well as fifteen instructors and one hundred and twenty reserve pilots.

The reason why there are so many transport planes is mainly to transport various scarce resources from abroad, such as aircraft engines, various avionics equipment, heavy bombs, etc.

Most of them are key components that our industrial zone cannot currently produce, or that can be produced but do not meet the requirements.

Take airplane engines as an example. With the current strength of our industrial zone, we can produce engines for motorcycles and military trucks, but even tanks are a bit of a stretch.

However, we really cannot produce such high-tech equipment as aircraft engines in a short time, so Kong Hao can only transport it back from abroad via transport plane.

After all, if there is a problem with the tank engine, the worst that can happen is to stop the car and replace it with a new one, which won’t cause much of a problem on the ground. However, airplanes are always flying in the sky, and if any problem occurs, it will be a tragic accident.

Because of this, our technicians only started to imitate the simplest primary trainer engine. This level of engine is not difficult to manufacture and is basically used to train pilots. Even if any problems occur during the flight, the pilots can parachute and escape in time.

As we know, a qualified pilot is worth more than an airplane, even a state-of-the-art Mustang fighter.

Therefore, Kong Hao wrote on the first page of the pilot training outline: If an aircraft malfunctions in the air, everything must be prioritized to ensure its own safety. The life of any pilot cannot be brought back by ten aircraft.

After we have a general understanding of the performance of aircraft engines, we can then produce bombers suitable for fighters and bombers. Only in this way can we proceed step by step and avoid detours in the future.

However, research and development and production can be carried out step by step. If the war really becomes critical, Kong Hao will get a few jet fighters from the system, which will be responsible for hunting down enemy aircraft in the air. Everything is based on the premise of winning the war.

When he thought of this, Kong Hao suddenly thought of a good tactic, which could completely change the situation of the air combat partially.

After seeing this, Commander Yun muttered to himself, "We shot down four enemy planes so easily! Now our Fourth Division is famous."

"No matter when or how we shoot down an enemy plane, the troops involved will be rewarded with a great achievement. We just easily shot down four enemy planes in one battle, and we shot them down directly from the sky. In the past, I would never have dreamed of such a good thing."

"By the way, Captain Kong, what should we do next?"

"Right now, your most important task, infantrymen, is of course to find the enemy's crashed plane. If you can capture a few parachuting enemy pilots, that would be great! That would be a real military achievement."

"Yes, yes. Finding the plane and capturing the pilot is the top priority right now."

"Pass on my order. All guard, reconnaissance, and cavalry companies of the military sub-district are dispatched. Also, free up all the bicycles in the logistics department. We must rush to the enemy crash site as quickly as possible and transport everything there back to the base."

You know, no matter it is an enemy fighter or bomber, even if it crashes, there are still a lot of good things on it. We should get everything back. These aircraft wreckages are the most powerful proof.

However, after Commander Yun left, Captain Fan on the side looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and looked at Kong Hao with pitiful eyes. What he wanted to express was self-evident.

Seeing this, Kong Hao continued, "Captain Fan, you can also lead the Sichuan Army to search in another direction. We don't have enough manpower now. If we have more people, the probability of encountering them will be greater."

"Captain Kong, thank you very much!"

At this time, Captain Fan was so excited that he could not express it in words, and he just kept expressing his gratitude.

This was entirely to give their Sichuan Army Corps military merit, so that they could report to their superiors after this battle. After all, as long as they could find the wreckage of the plane, their Sichuan Army Corps would be famous.

As for Kong Hao's claim that there were not enough people, he just smiled. It was completely an excuse. Although this excuse was rather poor, it moved Captain Fan deeply.

So he specially mobilized a main battalion to search in one direction.

However, the enemies in the opposite stronghold were completely dazed at this time. The plane that they always regarded as their protector was easily shot down. In the next period of time, if the specific cause was not investigated, it is estimated that the higher-ups would not dare to send planes to die.

After all, the Japanese high-ranking officials are not stupid. Even if the few people left in the stronghold are added together, they are probably not as valuable as a bomber. The enemy is quite shrewd in calculating such things.

But we did not stop filling the trench. It took another hour and we finally filled a section of the trench.

At this time, Captain Fan and Commander Yun also came back, and this trip was quite fruitful.

"Captain Kong, we've found the wreckage of three enemy bombers and one fighter. They were burned beyond recognition, and there aren't many useful items left. The enemy pilots were all dead. It's such a pity."
