Yu Ping does know what to do.

Obviously, the Second Air Force and the First Air Force have some different habits.

The First Air Force uses Eagle fighter jets, and the engine life of those jets is at least a few hundred hours. Such jets are designed for long-term use.

The Second Air Force uses Mao Xiong fighters, and the engine life can barely reach 50 hours.

Of course, there is no need for the pilot to save such a fighter plane at the cost of his life, and even when using it, it should be "simple and crude"... The life of the engine is only 50 hours, and the life of most other parts is longer than the life of the engine, so

Do we still need to use "protection fighters" carefully?

If you spend a lot of effort to protect the fighter plane, or if you dare not fly at high speed or overload during combat, the end result is that other parts are intact but the engine is scrapped.

Is it still necessary to replace the engine of the fighter plane at this time?

"Pull 5" is basically not necessary to replace the engine.

Because it has a wooden fuselage, the cost of the engine accounts for the majority of the aircraft cost. Replacing an engine for a "La 5" is not as good as producing a brand new fighter jet.

On the other hand, according to the sales agreement between the Eighth Route Army and Mao Xiong, China will have its own "La 5" production line in the near future, which means that the Eighth Route Army itself can produce this kind of aircraft.

So, can the Eighth Route Army freely use this fighter to some extent?

Therefore, when the first batch of pilots were transferred to Peishipo, Yu Ping first taught them not flying skills, but how to parachute and abandon fighter planes to protect themselves at critical moments.

This subject is rarely studied in Yingjiang.

This is not because Yingjiang is reluctant to leave the plane. In fact, they also think that the pilot is more important than the plane.

The reason why Yingjiang rarely lets pilots learn to parachute is because their aircraft have a low failure rate... The low failure rate means that pilots rarely need to parachute for non-combat reasons, and if they parachute for combat reasons, especially in combat situations

Still over the Pacific Ocean, the pilot's probability of survival after parachuting is too low, so low that it is almost negligible.

Especially in the middle and late stages, the Japanese pilots will be anxious, and the fighter jets will attack the parachuting Eagle pilots.

The first batch of pilots transferred to Toishipo totaled 50 people, and together with veteran pilots like Yu Ping, there were 60 people.

Along with the skydiving training, flight training started immediately.

The training subjects were jointly developed by Wang Xuexin, Yu Ping and Vladelov.

In this regard, Wang Xuexin and Yu Ping have reached a consensus, that is, in the direction of training, the combat method of quick attack and quick withdrawal should be maintained to mainly preserve pilots.

But Vladelov had a different opinion.

"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Feradlov said: "I admit that you have a certain understanding of 'La 5', and the improvement plan is correct. However, in terms of combat, I think this is not a wise approach.

Do you know what the engine life of the 'La 5' is?"

"I know!" Wang Xuexin replied: "About 50 hours!"

"Yes!" Feradlov said: "Its life is only 50 fucking hours, less than 50 hours to be exact, because we have to overhaul it in about 30 hours. In this case, if you adopt

The tactics we are talking about are to attack quickly and retreat quickly. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Wang Xuexin asked again.

"This means that our effective combat time will be very short!" Vladov spread his hands: "Think about it, comrade battalion commander! Fight quickly and retreat quickly, that is, fly to the battlefield from a long distance, it is very likely that the second

Ten minutes, or half an hour, but it only plays a role in a few minutes... It retreats after a face-to-face encounter, and it takes another half an hour to fly back! This is a needless consumption of the service life of the engine. This is a kind of

Shameful waste, I don’t think you can support such a war!”

Wang Xuexin thinks this is very interesting.

The same reason is because the life of the engine is only 50 hours, but Wang Xuexin considers that based on this, there is no need to sacrifice the pilot's life for this kind of consumable.

Based on this consideration, Vladlov wanted to make full use of the life of the aircraft so that it could be used in combat as much as possible, which meant that more emphasis was placed on the "effective combat time" of the aircraft.

Why is this happening?

If you think about it carefully, Wang Xuexin will understand. This may be because the national conditions and battlefield situations are different.

There are relatively many talents in Mao Xiong, especially "quasi-pilots". For example, there are flight students, flying clubs, and even ground staff who have a good understanding of aircraft structures can become "pull 5" pilots with simple training.

.

What Mao Xiong lacks is fighter planes, fighter planes that can fight with Hans in the air... At this time, Mao Xiong's sky is filled with Hans's fighter planes. If Mao Xiong's number of fighter planes cannot be increased in a short time, it is possible that they will

Small groups flew into the air and were destroyed by Hans Air Force.

After all, the output of "La 5" is limited, although its production speed is very fast.

If the Mao Xiong pilots use the "quick attack, quick retreat" tactic on the battlefield, it means that the effective combat time of the "Pull 5" is very short, so a large number of "Pull 5" will be scrapped.

The result is likely to be... scrapped "La5s" or even more than production, which will prevent the Woolly Bear Air Force from ever forming a scale.

Therefore, Mao Xiong emphasized that pilots fought bravely and made every effort to use the limited engine life of the "La 5" in effective air combat.

The situation of the Eighth Route Army is different.

Although the Eighth Route Army also lacks fighter planes, what the Eighth Route Army lacks even more is pilots.

Therefore, the direction of consideration is to protect pilots rather than play the role of fighter aircraft.

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin said to Vladelov: "Comrade Captain, the 50 pilots transferred from our airport this time are already half of our total number of flight students. If a group of them die on the battlefield, we will

We couldn't even find the pilot students, so we had to pull the infantrymen who were fighting on the ground to fly the planes, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Vladlov obviously did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would be in this situation. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will train according to your wishes!"

So the training direction was decided.

The training is very simple, that is, if you can drive the "Pull 5" and fly the "Pull 5" safely into the sky, you will be considered qualified.

After learning to drive the "La 5", all you have to do is fly as fast as possible to the battlefield.

Then, aim at the target, fire x2, and then retreat...
