() Gulayev's answer immediately caused a burst of laughter. During the laughter, someone shouted something in Russian, and the laughter immediately became louder. Hearing this, even Ron couldn't help laughing.

.This sentence is: "Comrade Gulayev, what does dog shit smell like?"

...After eating, Ron began to explain the basic tasks of this joint force to the Soviet pilots.

"In the air battle on the Western Front, the Germans introduced a new revolutionary fighter aircraft. This aircraft uses jet engines and is extremely fast. We have observed these aircraft flying at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour. Everyone knows

You are a veteran, I believe you all understand what such a high speed means."

All Soviet pilots understand this. In air combat, speed advantage is the biggest advantage (limited to the era of cannon air combat. In modern air combat, due to the intrusion of missiles, the role of speed advantage has been relatively reduced. Because no matter how fast the speed is, it is difficult to

Faster than a missile.) When Pokryshkin discusses the three major elements for winning an air combat, he always puts speed first.

"If the Germans use such a fighter with a speed of up to 900 kilometers per hour to attack our IL-2 fleet, how can we effectively intercept them and protect our attack aircraft?" Comrade Pokryshkin

He began to think about this problem. But he immediately shook his head. In an air battle, it is almost impossible to use conventional methods to prevent the surprise attack of such a high-speed enemy plane. The Americans proposed to attack the enemy airport at a very early stage.

Enemy aircraft taking off and landing may be the only way.

"But fortunately, this kind of aircraft is not invulnerable. It has many weaknesses. First, let's take a look at its structure..." Ron typed a picture of the me-262 on the slide. "Look at what it looks like. What do you think?

In what ways might something have performance defects?"

"Its roll must be terrible." Quanri Dubu said, "The engine is hung on the wing, far away from the roll center, and the roll will not improve anyway."

"Yes, this is indeed a fact. As long as our fighter jets can detect it first in an air battle with this kind of aircraft, it will not be difficult to avoid its attack." Ron said approvingly.

"Isn't this aircraft designed to fight fighter jets?" asked another Soviet pilot.

"Yes," Ron replied, "The main purpose of the Germans in equipping it must be to fight bombers. This can be understood from the firepower equipment of this aircraft. This aircraft is equipped with 4 MK guns on the nose.

-108 aircraft cannon. This 30mm artillery must be familiar to everyone. It is powerful, has low speed and has a curved trajectory. It is better to use a 20mm gun to fight fighter jets." (Of course, there are exceptions for some perverts.

Ron added in his mind)

"I'm afraid this aircraft has reliability problems?" It was Pokryshkin who spoke this time.

"You just said that this aircraft uses the latest jet engine. New engines always take a long time to mature, and a revolutionary new engine may be even more so."

Pokryshkin's speculation surprised Ron. In the U.S. Army Air Force, Ron was nicknamed the "Wizard" because whenever the enemy had a new aircraft, Ron could always rely on the few credible ones.

Using Ling's materials, he could guess the opponent's character, strengths and weaknesses very closely. But Ron himself knew what his ability was. In fact, his analysis was completely based on the condition that he already knew the results.

It's just a process of pushing, it's nothing.

But now, Pokryshkin's speculation is different. He is not a time traveler, and he had no chance to come into contact with this kind of aircraft before. But he still pointed out that the Me-262 is currently the largest aircraft based on limited information.

Flaws. This is a true "wizard".

Ron stared at Pokryshkin closely, and finally said: "Your intuition is terrible! Fortunately, we are allies. As you guessed, this kind of jet does have many reliability problems, and they are all concentrated.

As for the engine. In our previous battles with them, we found that when this kind of aircraft dives at a large angle, the engine may catch fire.

Easily catches fire."

Ron stopped and looked at the Soviet pilots around him. They all listened attentively. Gurayev was still muttering to himself. However, although this big bear felt that he was just muttering in a low voice, that was not the case.

The sound is still clearly audible.

"Is it possible for me to fly such a plane? When the time comes, I'm afraid the number of people I'll fall down may not be much less than the number of enemies I hit. Have the Germans turned their dogs into idiots?"

Of course, Gurayev said it in Russian. There were instructions above that when dealing with allies and friends, you must be polite and do not allow foul language.

But Ron could still understand it. You have to know that in his previous life, as a cannon engineer, Ron had read countless Russian books and interacted with many furry bear experts who were poached by rabbits with high salaries after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Maybe because of these problems, this kind of aircraft needs a particularly long runway." As Ron explained, some pictures of German airports were displayed in the slide. In these pictures, the lengthened runways are very obvious.

"Our fighter jets have flown safari missions near these airports. The pilots have witnessed this kind of aircraft taking off. They have to taxi to this position (Ron clicked with the indicator stick) before they can take off. This takeoff slide

The running distance is even longer than that of a fully loaded heavy bomber! This is probably because the engine throttle of this aircraft cannot be pushed too fast."

"In order for such an aircraft to exert its combat effectiveness, the level of the pilot is crucial. Even veteran pilots must undergo systematic training before flying such an aircraft into war. And our goal is to fight

Interrupt their training process and burn the flames of war into the hinterland of German fascism, leaving nothing in their skies safe.

training area. We recently received intelligence that the Germans have extended the runways of several airports in the Warsaw area. It seems that because of the pressure from our long-range fighters, they want to mobilize their jet forces closer to the east.

Training. Therefore, in order to better fight against German fascism, we must unite..."

After roughly explaining the reasons for this combat mission, Ron began to take the Soviets to familiarize themselves with the P-81 fighter jets they would use in the future. This time the Americans flew over a total of 25 P-81s, and the Soviet Union

It will take about a week to complete the mission on these fighters.

Adaptation training. During this week, new P-81 aircraft will be flown here from the Bering Strait via transport aircraft. Eventually, a team of about 100-100 people will be formed on the eastern front.

Long-range fighter force of 150 P-81 fighters.

"This plane looks really good! It's just that the landing gear looks a little weird." Pokryshkin stood next to the plane and looked up at this slim fighter. The P-81 also has a propeller at the back, and that propeller

It's quite big. In order to prevent the propeller from touching the ground, its landing gear is designed to be quite long. This also makes it almost impossible for this kind of aircraft to take off on a dirt runway.

"Want to try it?" Ron asked.

"Of course." Pokryshkin said. He glanced at the high-altitude cockpit and said: "Where is your ladder lowered?"

When the P-81 just landed, the Soviet ground crew ran over, but found that the ladder they prepared was not high enough. When they were anxious, they saw a handle on the Yankee door lift, and a folding boarding board that came with the aircraft.

The elevator opens automatically.

The Soviets have also seen fighter jets with built-in boarding stairs. For example, the F6F rented from the Americans had this thing. However, after arriving in the Soviet Union, the Soviets, who were accustomed to being thrifty and carefree, thought this thing was too much.

It was a luxury, and it increased the empty weight of the aircraft, which was detrimental to air combat. So most of the time, they dismantled it by themselves. At that time, the Americans told them that the F6F was originally a naval aircraft. The Navy always had some special requirements, and the Army's

There are no such things on fighter jets.

But now, isn’t the P-81 also an Army aircraft? How could this happen? The answer is because this guy is so tall that the Army’s existing boarding ladders are not easy to use, so they simply let it come with it.

A. Anyway, it has enough power, so adding a little weight is nothing.

Ron opened a small hatch on the fuselage. There was a knob inside. By twisting the knob, a boarding ladder automatically opened.

Pokryshkin climbed into the cockpit, and Ron also climbed up, standing aside to explain to him the layout of the cockpit.

"There's nothing else, just follow me and fly. And don't pull too hard when taking off. Always remember, there is a propeller behind." Ron finally explained.

Pokryshkin nodded to Ron, so Ron stepped back. Pokryshkin put away the boarding ladder and started to start the two engines in sequence, preparing to take off. Ron ran towards the other one.

p-81.

Originally, according to the agreement, Ron should take off first, followed by Pokryshkin. But as soon as Ron got into the cockpit, he saw Pokryshkin already taxiing on the runway.

"This guy, really!" Ron shook his head. Most ace pilots are confident and like to take risks, and Pokryshkin is no exception. If Ron remembers correctly, this guy was punished before the war because he liked to do dangerous actions.

Pass.

Ron pushed the throttle and followed. At this time, Pokryshkin's P-81 had reached take-off speed. He gently pulled the control lever, and the front wheel of the aircraft slowly left the ground (this
