Chapter 295 Two New Fighters and Domestic Bomber Manufacturing
Chapter 295 Two new fighters and "domestic bomber manufacturing"
Taiyuan, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In the busy production and preparation for war, the time came to August 8, 1941.
Today is an extremely special day. The previous decision "domestic fighter manufacturing" in the awakening brave tiger system was finally successfully unlocked.
Although this decision took a full half a year, its content and rewards are definitely worth the money. Not to mention the various bonuses given by the new manufacturer, the dazzling array of fighters alone makes people drool.
After all, no soldier can resist the temptation of flying in the sky.
After closing the doors and windows and instructing Wang Dexing to guard the door, Huang He rubbed his hands and concentrated on opening the system in his mind.
"Let me see what new treasures we have!"
"As long as we have new fighters, the strength of the Air Force 1st Division will definitely be improved."
"After the troops are sent to Suiyuan, both the Mongolian Army and the Kwantung Army will have to take off their skins for me, so that you can experience the intensity of the Pacific battlefield in advance."
The first aircraft that comes into view must be the close-range support aircraft that combines violence and visual enjoyment.
The starting model of this technology tree is an old-fashioned biplane with a very traditional appearance. The design details of the entire aircraft are full of the early style of Hawke Company.
As a well-deserved antique, the Hector bomber, which was put into service in 1933, has long been abandoned by the times.
Its various performances are completely insufficient on the current battlefield. Its maximum flight speed is only 300 kilometers per hour. It will definitely become a target of the Japanese Army Aviation when performing missions.
The weapons are also relatively shabby. It is only equipped with two 7.7mm heirloom aviation machine guns. The only bright spot is the two 50-kilogram bombs mounted under the belly of the aircraft.
Perhaps considering that this old machine that entered service in 1933 is really not good enough, the Awakening Brave Tiger system actually opened up the production rights directly in a very humane way.
If you want a production line, you need to honestly unlock it with the scientific research slot.
"Qi, outdated equipment."
"This thing is of limited use. At most, it can be used as a bargaining chip to exchange for some resources urgently needed in the border area."
As a loyal fan of 7+ coloring games, Huang He naturally looked down on the old equipment that has long been outdated.
After roughly looking at Hector's basic data, he directly locked his eyes on the next stage of close support aircraft, the second of the Hawke Three Winds-Typhoon fighter.
It is a fighter born to intercept Fw190, but it is famous in the European battlefield because of its efficiency in ground attacks.
When a ground-licking machine can reach a maximum speed of 640 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 2,000 meters and a maximum speed of 660 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 5,000 meters, ordinary fighters will definitely not have the desire to chase and drive it away.
The model provided by Awakening the Brave Tiger is the modified MK.2 model, which not only improves the reliability and stability during the dive, but also gives the engine more power.
The current Typhoon is equipped with four 20mm Western guns, each with up to 140 rounds of ammunition, which is more durable than any fighter currently in service in the Air Force First Division.
The mounted weapons also have a variety of combinations. Soldiers can choose two 227kg bombs or a 454kg heavy bomb according to the needs of the mission.
When the troops attacked Taiyuan, if the Air Force First Division had such a big treasure, they would not have to bother inserting the bombs into the wall. Throwing a few more thousand-pound bombs would directly blow down the wall.
Of course, the rockets that have gradually become a tradition of our army cannot be lost.
If you are confident in your shooting level, you can bring eight more Red Sun rockets to the battlefield.
With such a ferocious close-range support aircraft, Huang He can imagine Fang Ziyi's excited face and the crying of the Mongolian troops.
"I remember that the Typhoon with the British was not officially put into combat until May 1942."
"The Eighth Route Army was several months ahead of them, and even ahead of the final modified version of three models."
"It's good to do it, and it can save money on production licenses. After all, it's better to have less trouble than more, so that Fatty Qiu won't come to collect debts after the war."
After a little complaint, Huang He moved his eyes to the fighter technology tree on the side.
Now the system has unlocked two fighters, the Gladiator and the Hurricane, and the next stage is our old friend the Spitfire.
In Huang He's vision, the main force of the First Air Division will be equipped with Spitfire and Typhoon according to their personal development direction next year, while rookies and fresh graduates will continue to fly Hurricane fighters.
Based on the production capacity of military factories and border military industry bureaus in the system, the Eighth Route Army's air force will soon enter the era of aircraft and people, and Shanxi Province will definitely need to open an aviation school.
The last type is the heavy fighter. The top of the technology tree is a twin-engine fighter that entered service in 1935.
Blenheim has great potential for upgrading. In addition to being used as a fighter, it can also serve as a bomber, night fighter and reconnaissance early warning aircraft.
It's a pity that Huanghe's scientific research project is a bit biased, and no radio and radar related technologies have been unlocked. At present, Blenheim can only be used as a heavy fighter and bomber.
The model provided by the awakening brave tiger system is MK.5, which has a range of 2,300 kilometers and a maximum speed of 428km/h. Comrades of the Air Force No. 1 Division no longer have to be troubled by the problem of short legs.
In terms of weapons, Blenheim is equipped with six 7.7mm Browning aircraft machine guns. Four of them are fired forward from the belly, and two are located in the turret on the upper part of the back.
Such firepower is definitely enough to deal with the Japanese Army Aviation Type 97 fighter. When the enemy changes to the more advanced Type 1 Falcon, Huang He will start to replace the Western gun or 12.7mm machine gun.
Its mounted weapons are two 227kg bombs, plus eight 20kg small melons, which can definitely give the Japanese who have not seen much of the world a little shock.
······
After appreciating the two new fighters, Huang He turned his attention to the decision tree.
The bombing intensity of the licking machine and heavy fighter is not enough. If you want to alleviate the Eighth Route Army's fear of insufficient firepower, you still have to use professional tactical and strategic bombers.
The troops will definitely start with the Japanese entrenched in Shandong next year. As long as they take down a few coastal cities, the Air Force 1st Division will have the conditions to bomb the Japanese homeland.
Although it is highly unlikely that they can attack before Doolittle, the troops can definitely make LeMay unemployed.
"Domestic bomber manufacturing: After mastering the manufacturing technology of single-engine aircraft, we can start to try to develop heavy multi-engine bombers and use them in ground support missions.
Effect: After 180 days, you will get the unlocking rights of all bombers of the Royal Air Force.
Tip: Bombers include naval bombers, tactical bombers, and strategic bombers, but do not include de Havilland Venom, Canberra tactical bombers, and Warrior strategic bombers.
If you want to unlock jet bombers, you also need to unlock the other prerequisite scientific research projects and decisions.
Enabled manufacturer: AVIC Harbin Aircraft Industry Group
Effect: The production speed of bombers in military factories within the system is increased by 15%, and the combat radius of close support aircraft, tactical bombers, and strategic bombers is increased by 10%."
