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

But the leaders of our base are also well aware of the value of pilots. In order to train a qualified pilot, it is estimated that it will cost gold equal to the pilot's weight. They cannot be used as infantry. If they are hit a little, it is estimated that a lot of gold will be lost.

So Lieutenant Long worked as an ordinary clerk in the base, usually responsible for sending and receiving some documents. Here, there is only one advantage, that is safety, absolute safety.

Lieutenant Long tried several times to apply to go to the front to fight, but was never approved. Until one day, he received a mysterious transfer order.

Along with the transfer order came a squad of soldiers, all wearing colorful clothes and holding submachine guns. Each of them was also equipped with a large Black Star pistol. They were obviously well-trained elite soldiers.

In fact, the reason why we attach so much importance to it is that there is no other way. We have formed our own air force, but except for a few instructors, we don’t even have a professionally trained pilot. Everything has to be trained from scratch.

It is conceivable that when we learned that there was a former Kuomintang pilot in another base, and that he had participated in air battles with the enemy, how could the base leaders not be ecstatic.

So the intelligence department sent a special operations team to escort this valuable pilot to the air force base.

Lieutenant Long was also puzzled, mainly because the person in charge of escorting them did not speak the whole time and was always alert on the road. As soon as there was any movement, they would deploy in battle formation and protect Lieutenant Long.

After three days of forced march, the team finally arrived at the base. The commander and political commissar personally went out to greet them, which made Lieutenant Long realize that he had arrived at a secret air force base.

After hearing the news, Lieutenant Long was overjoyed. He had thought that he would never be able to fly into the blue sky again in his life, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events so soon, allowing him to fulfill his wish.

And after a period of understanding, I found that although this place is only a small airport with only a dozen or so aircraft in total, its fighter jets and bombers are the best in the world.

Take bombers for example. Lieutenant Long used to fly the American Northrop 2EC light bomber. To be honest, it was a relatively backward model with a small bomb load, short range, and limited ground attack power.

It was still used by the National Army as the main bomber. At the beginning of the war with the enemy, it caused certain damage to the enemy infantry. However, as the Japanese invaders invested a large number of advanced aircraft, our light bombers were gradually consumed.

This is the dilemma we face when purchasing weapons and equipment from abroad. Once a large number of planes are shot down and the rear cannot produce more, the number of planes we have will decrease, and our strength will become weaker and weaker, until there is not a single plane left in the entire sky.

However, at this secret airport, there was a bomber with a very peculiar shape. It seemed to be the dive bomber of Hans Country when it was in the Kuomintang Air Force. It was called Ka. In short, it was a bomber with extremely terrifying combat power.

In particular, this type of bomber can carry more than 500 kilograms of heavy aerial bombs for ground attacks. Even if an enemy aircraft carrier is hit by one, it will probably sink on the spot.

In fact, Lieutenant Long has always had a regret, that is, he was unable to fly a bomber to sink any enemy warship. However, if he flew this advanced dive bomber, his regret would soon be made up.

While other students were still learning some basic knowledge of aircraft and performing simulated operations using primary trainer aircraft, he was already able to follow the instructors to fly bombers for daily training.

Just yesterday, the base command specially informed all of them of an exciting news. The Air Force dispatched two fighter jets and shot down three enemy bombers and one fighter jet.

After hearing the news, all the students were overjoyed. They cheered for their unit's victory in the first air battle. This was not a small victory, but a crushing victory.

After our plane landed, we checked and found that there was no hit on the entire plane, which was a remarkable achievement.

Of course, in addition to the excellent performance of the aircraft, the fighter jets must also be piloted by the most skilled instructors, and both are indispensable.

However, this did not affect the celebration of everyone in the base. Political Commissar Sun got two big fat pigs and more than a hundred chickens from the logistics department, and the whole base had a dinner together last night.

After the fun, all the students at the base secretly vowed in their hearts that they would study hard to learn all kinds of operating knowledge, train diligently, strive to fly the plane into the blue sky as soon as possible, fight a desperate battle with the enemy's planes, and use the wreckage of the enemy's planes to establish supreme merit.

Lieutenant Long originally thought that he would not be allowed to participate in the battle in the short term. After all, there were only three dive bombers of this type in their air force base. Things like carrying out bombing missions should be done by instructors, and he had just joined not long ago, so it would not be his turn anyway.

But surprises always come unexpectedly. When the base political commissar came over to inform him that he would follow Instructor William to carry out a bombing mission, Lieutenant Long was completely stunned.

Next, after confirming again and again that this matter was true, he followed the instructor into the cockpit of the bomber under the envious gaze of other students to carry out the mission of bombing the enemy.

This time he served as a rear-seat crew member, and his main task was to be a radio operator. He had to keep in touch with the base and front-line target guides at all times, and carry out dive bombing on the target under the guidance of ground personnel.

There are also part-time machine gunners. Once their planes encounter enemy fighter planes in the air, they must fight back with the machine guns in their hands. Although the probability of this happening is very low, it is still necessary to be prepared.

After the two of them boarded the plane, Instructor William said kindly, "Don't worry, Long. This is just a routine bombing mission. The probability of encountering enemy bombers mid-flight is extremely small. Our target is just a bunker. There is no anti-aircraft firepower at all. This mission is not dangerous at all."

The people Kong Hao recruited from the system are all proficient in several languages, which makes it easier for them to communicate with others. He announced to the outside world that these people have received special language training abroad and can speak fluent Chinese.

The commander and political commissar of the base were also very happy when they heard this. Since they could communicate in Chinese, it would save everyone a lot of trouble.

You have to know that operating an airplane is a highly technical task. Translators found in China basically have no exposure to this kind of knowledge. If the translation is inaccurate, major problems may easily arise.

But now these flight instructors can communicate freely with the students, and in their spare time they can also train the translators mobilized from all over the country by the base, which has solved our biggest difficulty at present.
