Chapter 197 The Aviation School on Track and a Steady Stream of Talent

December 12, the office of the director of the Border Region Weapons Experimental Research Bureau.

At this time, there were two people in the room sitting at the desk chatting. One was naturally Mr. Huang who had just taken office a few days ago, and the other was a man who looked to be in his forties.

This man was wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket. Judging from his hairline, he was obviously a peak powerhouse, with a playful smile on his slightly wrinkled face.

After handing an enamel cup filled with tea to the middle-aged man opposite, Huang He scratched the back of his head, looking full of doubts.

"I really didn't expect you to slip out from the southwest so easily."

"Are all the people under Boss Dai such trash now? You used to be the director of the Military Industry Department of Preserved Fruit, and now you are the director of the Chengdu Branch of the 50th Ordnance Factory."

"It's really unbelievable that such an important person doesn't have a few agents standing around to keep an eye on him."

The middle-aged man shrank slightly, holding an enamel cup in his hands to keep warm. The cold temperature made this southerner shiver.

After hearing Huang He's question, he did not rush to answer the question. Instead, he filtered the tea foam with the lid of the cup and took a sip.

"You can't say that the people in the military command are useless. The main reason is that I hid it well. No one would have thought that a man like me, a science and engineering man who has worked honestly for several years, is actually an undercover agent who has infiltrated the enemy."

Only then did the man smile, a touch of pride flashing across his face.

"And it's not easy for me to hide my traces, okay?"

"The troops covering me first circled most of Central China, and finally managed to sneak into North China and almost encountered Japanese soldiers. If the comrades hadn't been experienced, you might not have seen me."

"I received the notice to withdraw as early as March this year. However, the situation was very sensitive at the time, and it took me more than half a year to come back. It was very hard."

Although this statement is absolutely true, it does sound a bit like Versailles.

This new comrade who joined the Border Area Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is called Zhong Lin, and he will have two resounding nicknames in the future. One is the father of China's Katyusha, and the other is the number one bald man in the military industry.

He once served as the director of the Preserved Fruit Ordnance Department in Jinling. Because of his outstanding personal abilities, he was sent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study ordnance manufacturing technology.

After returning to China after studying, he was assigned to be the director of the sulfuric acid plant affiliated to Hanyang Arsenal. As the Japanese continued to expand and invade, he was eventually transferred to the 50th Arsenal in the southwest as the director.

If someone hadn't intervened, he would have been undercover until 1946. When his superiors summon him, he will return with a series of research materials.

When the chemical plant in the southeastern Shanxi base was being worked on, the organization thought of this professional comrade and recalled him urgently.

Although they only got along for half an hour, the other person's humorous personality quickly drew the relationship between the two of them.

Looking at the extremely calm Zhong Lin, Huang He immediately imagined the angry bald man cursing Niang Xipi.

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of this scene, and he did not hesitate to praise Zhong Lin:

"Captain of the Transportation Brigade is truly worthy of his reputation. You have done such a good job in this logistical support work! You are so good at borrowing chickens to lay eggs! You made good use of your position to defraud the bald head of funds to do research for your family."

Huang He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, paused and then said his arrangement:

"Old Zhong, please come to our first department first and study rockets together. According to Corey's current development progress, sooner or later you will have to take someone out to work alone."

"The superiors attach great importance to us, and they even said a few days ago that they will provide strong support. At best, you will be a director by then. In a sense, you will be reinstated."

Zhong Lin nodded, saying that he had no objection to Huang He's arrangement.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then he stood up and prepared to leave the office. As soon as he stood up and turned around, he seemed to have thought of something he had just said, and then turned to face his cheap director and said seriously:

"The Chairman will not be angry. I left a resignation handover document when I left."

"Hahaha!"

————

A week later, the old horse is back!

The entire transportation team, carrying the students brought back from the border aviation school, drove into the temporary parking lot prepared for them.

With a beaming smile on his face, Makarov gave Huang He a bear hug as soon as he got out of the car. His amazing strength did not look like someone who had been busy for more than thirty days.

"Huang! I have brought you all the people! There are not even a few of the 45 students! Let me tell you another good news, we have an unexpected harvest this time!"

Huang He was just busy saying hello to Lao Ma, and didn't notice at all that there were four people following him.

Unlike those students who are generally younger, they look like they have experienced many battles. Even though his face was full of exhaustion, he couldn't hide the strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

A man with sparse eyebrows was the leader of the four. He stepped forward, held Huang He's hand tightly, and said excitedly:

"You must be Deputy Director Huang! I have already heard from Comrade Makarov that you played a big role in our being able to return to the border area smoothly and safely this time."

After the four briefly introduced themselves, Huang He's expression changed from joy to excitement.

Because one of them was named Chang and the other was named Wang, and they were the future principals and political commissars of the Northeast Old Aviation School.

"Great! With you guys joining us! The construction of our border aviation school will be smoother!"

Wang and Chang saw surprise in each other's eyes. They quickly guessed that the deputy director in front of them must have heard of their deeds before.

But they were not surprised. After all, the other party was already a senior official in the border area. And he had a good relationship with the north, and could even ask their transport team to rescue them.

It would be strange if such a person didn't know the inside story.

"You are too polite! It has always been our dream to build our own air force in the border area, and it is also our sustenance after years of wandering abroad!"

"We should thank you for giving us the opportunity to realize our dreams."

"Let's talk about this today. Lao Wang and I have to take the students to see the boss first. We haven't been home for too long, we have to report that we are safe."

Looking at the backs of the crowd, Huang He thought of many things.

The two instructors who just met went to the north to study in the early years, and they were the first batch of air force seeds in the border area in the true sense.

Instructor Chang has served in the air force in the north for many years, and is even a senior pilot with a record of shooting down. Political Commissar Wang is a maintenance expert with profound theoretical and practical experience, and is also a rare cornerstone figure.

The two had very rough experiences. The organization originally called them back from the north to arrange them to serve as instructors at the border aviation school.

Together with the 45 selected students, they can definitely train the first batch of pilots of the army.

Logically speaking, with their experience, they are more than enough to be instructors at an aviation school, and can even be regarded as a waste of talent.

But SHC didn't even think about it and directly rejected them. Because this opportunist had no good intentions from the beginning. The soldiers who accepted the Western Expedition were for two purposes.

One is to get more Russian planes through the relationship in the border area and expand their air force.

The second is to corrupt these students. The purpose of recruiting them is to make comrades work for him.

He naturally doesn't want and dares not to have red instructors like Principal Chang and Political Commissar Wang who have a long history and carry a strong brand.

As we all know, smart people always turn left at the right time. If these precious students who had been trained with great effort were abducted by others, he would definitely collapse!

In desperation, the two could only stay in the Eighth Office on the border and wait for the opportunity, but this wait lasted for two years.

Although they never officially entered the aviation school from beginning to end, they did not choose to waste time. The students would go to the Eighth Office to study whenever they had time.

It was precisely because of the remedial classes and special classes that the students gradually surpassed the local students, and finally all of them graduated with excellent results.

Chang and Wang were assigned by the organization to study flight and ground maintenance in the north, which can be said to be the seeds of the border air force. Now, these two seeds are about to sprout.

Just as Huang He was in a daze, Makarov stepped forward and hugged his shoulders. The Siberian man looked at him with a straight look and said:

"Huang, the business is done, let's go for a drink!"

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he felt a little nauseous when he thought of the last drinking party.

Considering that he would never see Lao Ma again for a long time in the future, Huang He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to start directly!

"Let's go! Don't go home until you're drunk today! I'll tell the kitchen staff to prepare lunch for the comrades now!"

"Haha! Great!"

When Huang He woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. While he was unconscious, Lao Ma had already left the border area silently with his transport team.

After seeing his director wake up, Wang Dexing immediately brought a bowl of hangover soup.

"Director, this is what Comrade Makarov left behind. He asked me to tell you that this pistol was the instructor's sidearm, and now it's left to you as a gift."

"He also said that after the war is over. If you go to find him, we can go to Lake Baikal to fish for salmon together. If he comes to find you, we can go to Chongqing to eat hot pot together."

Staring at this TT33, time seemed to go back to a year ago. Back to the day when everyone ate Tusanka canned food and danced the Cossack dance together.

"Okay, let's see you after victory."

————

On December 23, the decision "Buy fighters" was finally unlocked.

One hundred Gladiator biplane fighters and twenty-five Skytrain transport planes have been parked safely at the expanded border airport.

With so many fighter planes arriving at once, the twenty-hectare airport suddenly seemed insufficient, and Director Li was so scared that he quickly took the engineering team to work overtime to expand it.

Early the next morning, Huang He drove to the aviation school. He was going to see the learning progress of his comrades and ask about the transportation of materials to the south next week.

After arriving at the aviation school, he found that the principal and political commissar had not changed, and they were still Chang and Wang.

After all, the plan to form an air force has been envisioned in the minds of the two for many years, and it has condensed their efforts to pursue their dreams of the blue sky. What's more, Principal Chang also provided a relatively comprehensive, systematic and detailed plan.

At present, there are 56 instructors in the aviation school, responsible for aircraft technology and ground work respectively.

Surprisingly, there is even a comrade who specializes in engine maintenance. He originally studied at the aviation school in Guosu, but broke through the blockade of the iron wall of the holy land and broke all the way to the border area.

When Huang He arrived at the apron, he found that the combat hero Wang Hai was leading more than 30 trainees to observe a Gladiator fighter plane.

He also specially selected students for one-on-one demonstrations, operating and transmitting each rotor and wing surface, and explaining their specific uses.

In order to let the students understand the combat status more intuitively, Wang Hai also made gestures. Stretching out his arms is like wings, turning his palms is like the plane tilting and turning, lowering his head and sticking his buttocks is like the plane descending, and vice versa, it rises.

In order to make the teaching course less boring, he also specially found carpenters in the border area to customize a batch of physical models for teaching, so that students can understand them at a glance with the movements.

In order to make the students understand the oil circuit system in the engine at a glance, he came up with the idea of ​​blowing smoke into the oil circuit in the engine after smoking, and seeing where the smoke came out, he knew how the oil circuit went.

After finishing today's course, Wang Hai came to the side of the Yellow River. He looked at the enthusiastic students and revealed a subtle smile.

"Director, how is the development progress of our trainer aircraft?"

"The Spitfire fighter is too advanced and difficult to fly. Even the instructors who came back from the border aviation school can't master it without ten days or half a month of practice."

"The Gladiator fighter is not very suitable. Although it is a biplane fighter and a trainer model, the engine horsepower is too large. It is not bad as an intermediate trainer."

"Now our border aviation school needs a primary fighter. Please help me urge the Second Section of the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau to see when a finished product can be produced."

Currently, the training of the aviation school is divided into three stages. Only those who pass all of them can enter the combat sequence of the Air Force First Division.

The first stage is the primary trainer, which is responsible for the initial flight training tasks of new students.

Including takeoff, landing, visual flight, etc., another very important purpose is to screen and identify promising students.

The second stage is the intermediate trainer, which is used to train students who already have preliminary flying skills, mainly practicing formation flight, instrument flight, etc.

The last stage is the advanced trainer. It is used to train complex weather flights, simple tactical actions, etc.

This question made Huang He fall into deep thought. Judging from the current research progress of the Second Section, it will take at least a year to develop a primary trainer aircraft.

The technology is stuck in the engine, and it will not be broken through for a while.

Thinking of this, Huang He concentrated and opened his system. If I remember correctly, the effect of the next decision is very strong, which is very consistent with the concept of Rabbit's imitation, improvement and self-research.

"Border Aircraft Manufacturing Factory".

After two months of development, it's time to start fighting
