Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"The Soviet Union has such a large aircraft, and now China also has it. The United States also has it. Speaking of which, this Tu-4 still imitates the American B-29 in many places." Tang Hua pointed to the picture where some parts were disassembled in the workshop in front of him- 4. "But the Tu-4 in the workshop does not imitate any aircraft. In fact, there will be many aircraft imitating it in the future."

Duan Zhijun nodded, "I've read the information...that thing was made in the 112B factory next door to us. It's amazing, a missile can fly more than 30 kilometers by itself after being dropped from the plane, and then bang! A small boat tens of meters long, and regardless of whether the boat is driving forward, backward, turning, or parked, the missiles can catch up and catch the eyes. After the modification of Tu-4 is completed, it will go directly to the Bohai Sea shooting range. When the time comes I must follow."

……

"In the early 51 and 52 negotiations for the introduction of Soviet aid, I did not imitate from the drawings of the Soviet Union's request for Figure-4." Tang Hua talked about the business. "However, I have a plan for the manufacture and design of bombers and large military aircraft. The manufacturing plant and the design institute are integrated, just like Shenyang's fighter jet development and production complex. It's not that we don't want heavy bombing, but the aviation industry should be able to manufacture bombers by itself At that time, the air force should be provided with a better heavy bombardment than the Tu-4."

Duan Zhijun: "Understood. Propelled aircraft are indeed gradually being phased out. And if the Aviation Industry Bureau wants to build heavy bombers, it will take many years to build a factory. By then, the Tu-4 must be very backward. I just don't know what we are equipped with. What would a heavy bomber look like."

Tang Hua: "There are still many years to go, and we will see it gradually. Before the bomber factory arrives, we can also imagine what a heavy bomber suitable for the Chinese Air Force looks like. Chief engineer Huang Zhiqian probably has already pondered it in his heart Has it been a long time?"

Tang Hua turned his head and said the last sentence to Huang Zhiqian.Huang Zhiqian smiled and said, "I have considered 10 types of future bombers for the Chinese Air Force this year. ... I have considered 20 types of future fighter jets."

Tang Hua: "Did Mr. Huang draw the plane you were thinking about, then make the model, and then send the model to the wind tunnel for a try?"

Huang Zhiqian: "Huh?"

Tang Hua: "It's only now that I think about it. Today I mainly want to see the newly built wind tunnel of your Aviation Industry Shenyang Institute. Let's not look at the big planes, let's go to the next door?"

……

"Minister Tang, in fact, I did draw some of the planes I came up with as blueprints, some were sketches, and some were designed in more detail." Huang Zhiqian said, "Of course there are also sketches I made from memory of the planes in Gloucester, England. Some of the aircraft that the company has seen have been traced. But sending these designs to the wind tunnel for verification is a bit too much."

"The wind tunnel is used for this," Tang Hua said, "Yes, it takes two or three days to blow a wind tunnel, and it costs more than 1000 million. Your salary for a year is about that much, but it's not that the RMB is spent. ruble."

Huang Zhiqian: "The Gloucester Company is indeed doing the same thing... But according to my experience, if one tenth of the aerodynamic shape design is valuable, and one quarter of it is worthy of further exploration, it is very good."

"Getting your own design verified by data is much more effective than constantly thinking about it. How about this, not only you, but all the design drafts proposed by the official engineers of Shen Fei Institute have the same qualifications for wind tunnel verification, As long as you organize a committee of three to five people to eliminate those designs that do not conform to the basic aerodynamic principles, the rest will be made into models and sent in for testing.”

After Tang Hua finished speaking, a group of people had already entered the laboratory. The model in the wind tunnel was a gliding guided bomb.

"Haven't all the glide bombs have been imitated and put into production?" Tang Hua asked.

"This is an improved version of the American-made glide bomb," Huang Zhiqian said. "There are three variants, one is a 3-kilogram light glide bomb, the other is a powered low-speed missile, and the other is a It's a glide-dive version of the earth-penetrator."

"It seems that you have already started to make various attempts..." Tang Hua said, "OK, I take back part of what I said just now, Shen Fei is already in the state I said, you just need to move on Just go."

……

North Korea, Eastern Front.

"The casualties of the 40th Division and the 45th Division in the past week are somewhat abnormal."

The staff officer of the US 1st Army finished counting the front-line casualties in the past week, and said to O'Daniel worriedly.

In the past week, the two divisions of the US 1st Army had more than 20 daily battle deaths. Among them, August 8 was the worst day, with 29 people killed and 71 injured in one day. The reason was that a certain defensive zone was suddenly attacked by Chinese rockets.

The U.S. 1st Army also has a South Korean Division and a U.S. Airborne 187th Regiment. The 187th Regiment is safely in the rear as a reserve team. The South Korean Army is not so lucky. The number of deaths in the last week and the two U.S. divisions almost.

Calculated, 230 people were killed and 115 were injured this week. If the monthly average is used, the number of US troops who died this month will approach 1000.

O'Daniel frowned when he saw the casualty figures.

"I remember you reported that the Chinese army we faced face-to-face completed the defense change three weeks ago, and replaced it with a new army."

"Yes, it is a Soviet mechanized infantry unit, but from various signs, this Chinese army has never entered North Korea before."

"Is it just equipped with Soviet weapons?" O'Daniel thought there was something strange about it. "Did the soldiers at the front spot the faces of the Soviets in the trenches opposite?"

"As far as I know, no. The troops on the opposite side are all Chinese, and no Soviet snipers are involved."

"Even if there were no Soviet snipers involved in the battle," O'Daniel said, "I'm sure there must be a whole team of Soviet snipers training Chinese snipers in Manchuria, China. The Soviet army used sniper tactics extensively during World War II. They His sniping experience is no less than ours."

"General, what should we do?" the staff officer asked.

"Tell the troops ahead to be more cautious in huddling in trenches and bunkers," O'Daniel said. "Tell them that if they don't want to be put in an urn back to the United States, they can just hide their asses. Ask for more troops." Sniper."

……

"I have taught you all the techniques and tactics, and the next improvement can only be done on the battlefield, and it is not the technique that determines what height you can reach, but your mentality, whether you are calm enough and sharp enough and whether it is cunning enough."

Near Shenyang-Benxi, Soviet Red Army sniper Sergey Spanger completed another 7-week short-term sniper training, and clapped his hands to disband the more than 20 volunteer snipers lined up in front of him.

"Comrade Captain Spanger, I have a question." Sun Degong of the 50th Army Sniper Battalion raised his hand, "Does the Soviet Red Army only train snipers for 7 weeks?"

"No, not necessarily." Spanger said, "The Soviet Red Army has a sniper school, and students study there for half a year to a year. But sometimes, it may be necessary for a soldier to become a sniper within 4 hours..."

During the Great Patriotic War, in Stalingrad, in Brest, in Leningrad and on the outskirts of Moscow, there were such instant snipers everywhere.Some soldiers get a sniper rifle and fire two rows of bullets (10 rounds), and then they will be called by the company commander or battalion commander as a sniper.

Ivansid Salenko ranked second as a sniper in World War II. He had more than 500 dead souls under his gun. In fact, he did not go to sniper school, but was an infantry officer.

"Actually, I have another question," Spanger said, "I really want one of your sniper rifles, and it's best to take it with me when I return home. I don't know if your commander will agree with me. ask?"

Chapter 234, Games in Prisoner of War Town

"I can tell you from personal experience that the Chinese are the most civilized army I have ever seen."

In POW town of Fengcheng, Captain René Renault had a heart-to-heart talk with his newly "inhabited" POW camp partners.

"I was captured by the Chinese army for one year and two months, and I have lived here for a whole year. When I was first captured by the Chinese army, I thought, it's over. This reminds me of June 1945, when I was captured in Annan. The scene of the Japanese army taking prisoners."

"But after I was brought down by the Chinese army, they didn't kick, insult or shoot any of us. The injured partners were separated and sent to the hospital for treatment. Those of us who were not injured moved to the rear. There were rest and food along the way. And drinking water. We walked for seven days without a car, but we survived anyway. It reminds me of May 1940, when I was captured by the Germans in Upper Normandy."

"Oh, the Germans are better than the Japanese, but in the prisoner-of-war camp, the SS came twice. Each time they roughly pulled everyone out for screening, measured everyone's nose with a caliper, and took every My underpants were taken off to see if I was circumcised. If I was found to be Jewish, I would be taken away and disappeared. Of course I am not Jewish, but it is very humiliating to be stripped naked to see a dick... ...oh, you're a pilot, and pilots have extra meals here."

"I know all these things, and I was captured by the Germans, which is not unusual." French pilot Le Goff Henry said, "I have been with the Chinese for a week since I was shot down, and I feel that they are friendly. , friendlier than the Germans. It's just that I'm going to stay in this POW camp until the end of the war..."

René Renaud: "As long as you find one thing you can focus on, time will pass quickly. We all learn to pass the time here, and you can too."

……

"Minister Tang, we came at the right time. The sports meeting in Prisoner of War Town opens today."

From Shenyang to Dandong and then to North Korea, they had to pass through Fengcheng, so Tang Hua proposed to visit Prisoner of War Town.Chang Qiankun, deputy commander of the air force who was traveling with him, heard that the two United Nations pilots who were shot down and captured last week had been transferred to the town of prisoners of war, so he also wanted to visit.The group drove from Fengcheng to Prisoner of War Town.

Prisoner of War Town is located in the southeast of Fengcheng, where the Fengcheng River turns a big U-shaped bend. All the Korean prisoners of war were handed over to the Korean People’s Army to take care of them in North Korea. Here are all the United Nations prisoners of war. It is impossible for the blonde foreigners to escape in the sea of ​​Chinese people.In fact, the prisoners of war have never had a prison escape record.

The cadres of the Tomahawk Management Office saluted: "Commander Chang, Minister Tang. The French pilot Legoff Henry is participating in the Landlords Competition, and the American pilot Daniel Brown is a guest volleyball coach. The activity may not end until the afternoon or evening."

"Oh. Huo Huo, these two foreigners have integrated into life quickly enough." Chang Qiankun said.

"The Frenchman adapted the fastest. He found work in the town the next day after he came here. The American pilot was depressed for three or four days. When he heard that there would be a volleyball game in the sports, he came to give advice to the American Southern team."

……

"Section Chief, these Turks have really good brains, but we don't care if they are in the marijuana business?"

The management office of the prisoners of war town has a special labor section, which is responsible for organizing prisoners of war to engage in labor.Of course not working in factories, but improving their own living and living environment, such as building roads, repairing old houses and building new houses, and sometimes taking a team of prisoners of war to dig sand in the wild outside the town (still in the U-shaped river bend area) Quarrying, engaging in labor.
