Chapter 67 Suggestions
Major Doug nodded slightly after reading the information carefully.
It should be said that such an airport is more in line with the needs of the battlefield, or to be precise, it meets the needs of the Chinese battlefield, especially the Eighth Route Army battlefield.
And the airport he imagined in his mind, such as various vehicles and facilities, is actually what Yingshang Airport should look like... Yingshang Airport, especially the land airport, does not need to worry about the enemy's bombing at all, so it emphasizes advanced, complete and mechanized.
But this is Huaxia, and it has to consider being bombarded by the enemy from the very beginning.
On this basis, advanced, complete, and mechanized brings unnecessary losses.
Only then did Major Doug realize that he needed to use another way to face the environment at this time, and should not copy the Eagle Sauce set.
After thinking about it, Major Doug said: "I would like to make a few suggestions. First of all, we should increase the alert time. For now, the alert time of about fifteen minutes does not have an advantage for us. It is difficult for our pilots to prepare well within fifteen minutes!"
Wang Xuexin agrees with this.
Wang Xuexin had discussed this with Li Yunlong before. The Japanese bomber could only fly from Yuncheng to the airport in fifteen minutes. At this time, the air force might only have time to take off a few limited aircraft, and there was no time to stop the Japanese bombing.
Fighter jets may be a way to patrol regularly, but there are time gaps.
On the other hand, if the Japanese bombers were flying with fighters, the patrol team would probably be busy dealing with the Japanese fighters and would not be able to stop their bombers.
However, Wang Xuexin of course considered this point. Wang Xuexin said: "This requires preparation after actual combat. We have such a plan. As long as the enemy planes fly together, we can know it as soon as possible, and then issue an early warning through a telegram. Considering the transit time of the intelligence personnel, it may be possible to add about ten minutes of early warning time for us!"
Major Doug did not answer.
If there is more than twenty minutes of early warning time, it is indeed enough for the plane to take off and face the challenge.
but……
Major Doug asked: “Is your early warning mechanism reliable?”
As he said that, Major Doug looked in the direction of Li Yueying.
"What does it mean?" Wang Xuexin asked back.
Li Yueying stood up and explained: "Comrade, Major Doug doubts your early warning mechanism because I have worked at the stubborn army airport before. They also promised to have a 20-minute early warning, but in fact it is only 5 to 15 minutes. I think we should pay attention to this point, because this is air combat, and even one minute is missing, it may affect the entire situation, not to mention that sometimes there is only 5 minutes of preparation time. This is almost to park our aircraft and pilots at the airport and wait for the enemy to bomb!"
This is caused by the chaos in the intelligence system of the stubborn army, or the stubborn army air force was in a state of failure after several air battles in the early days... This is what is often called "defeat is like a mountain of defeat."
There are many reasons, and the main reason is that the performance of fighter jets is not as good as that of the enemy.
The secondary reason is that the stubborn army's bureaucratic style is extremely serious, so serious that it is outrageously... To be precise, it is not bureaucracy, but warlord ideas.
In other words, in order to control the army, Chongqing only valued its own students, so a group of so-called direct descendants who had no military achievements and even had no skills to force themselves to graduate in the aviation school. They just graduated and were still second lieutenant and lieutenant, so they immediately took over to command a bunch of majors and lieutenant colonels with military merits...
You can imagine what happens later. If there are any mistakes, all the subordinates of the direct line are not. If you have any achievements, the direct line officer will be well-manned.
This made almost no one in the stubborn air force willing to work hard for the stubborn army.
This is actually one of the reasons why Li Yueying left the stubborn army and returned to Yingshang.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed "hehe": "I said big girl, you can rest assured. Our Eighth Route Army is different from the stubborn army. You will know if you stay for a few more days. We all have deep hatreds with the Japanese, and we are all fighting with the Japanese!"
Li Yueying also heard about this, but she still held a skeptical attitude, because when she arrived at the stubborn army, she often heard them say this.
Seeing that Li Yueying was not at ease, Wang Xuexin added: "We can consider this issue from a different perspective. There has never been a fighter jet in the history of our army that can compete with the Japanese. As the saying goes, "scarcity is precious", so our army has no reason not to pay attention to these fighters. In addition, our army also expects Yingshang to reinforce more fighter jets... If it is blown up by the Japanese after a few strokes, Yingshang considers that the fighter jets cannot play a role here, so it will naturally not use the subsequent reinforcement plan, and it may even cancel the plan! In this regard, our army cannot ignore it! There are even many people who are willing to risk their lives to provide a few more minutes of early warning time for the airport. Do you think this makes sense?"
Wang Xuexin said this from the perspective of interests.
Compared to what Li Yunlong said, Wang Xuexin believes that Yingshang can better understand the interests.
Sure enough, when Li Yueying translated Wang Xuexin's words to Major Doug, the Major nodded and said, "I hope so!"
So this question is passed.
"Another question!" asked Major Doug, "Are your pilots ready?"
Major Doug was worried about this problem because when his fleet redirected the "Flying Tigers", he heard Chennard complain to him: "Damn it, don't believe these Chinese pilots, they even intentionally destroy their planes so that they can't participate in the battle!"
Chennard did not wrongly accuse the pilots of the stubborn army. They did do this, and there were quite a few.
The reason is just like what I said before...
The ones in the stubborn air force are often not "capable people", but direct descendants.
The opportunity and glory of joining the "Flying Tigers" is often not given to miscellaneous brands.
So many young men were using their power to study in the "Flying Tigers" and fought in concert with the Hawkshop pilots.
But these young men were unwilling to fly into the sky to "take risks", so they used the old method... to break the plane so that it could not fly, so they could take it for granted.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! It's okay if you don't fight the Japanese, but you keep dragging your legs. If you don't fly, you can give us the plane! What a great plane, it's not destroyed in the hands of the Japanese, but in the hands of his own people! It's really a damn one, it should be shot!"
Then he really asked: "Are those who destroyed the plane shot?"
Major Doug didn't know the answer and didn't care about it, so he didn't answer.
But I want to know the answer, how could the direct troops be shot?
Not only will he not be shot, but he will be promoted at a high probability.
