Chapter 1398, I will come back as soon as I go(2/4)
"What? Impossible, no..."
"Why?"
"I can't fly a plane..."
"I can."
"What?"
McCoy looked dull.
What is Zhang Yong talking about? He can fly a bomber?
When did he learn it?
"Follow me."
"yes."
"Which plane is intact? Ready to take off at any time?"
"The two southernmost ones."
"good."
Zhang Yong came to the side of the plane.
Look at this big guy in front of you.
Compared with the Hawker-3, Yi-16, and BA-65, it is indeed a big guy.
The length of the fuselage alone is twice that of a fighter jet.
After all, it is a bomber with a range of up to 1,900 kilometers. It cannot do it without a long enough fuselage.
A large engine room is required to place the bomb. A very large amount of fuel is required.
Its fuel reserves are three times that of ordinary fighter jets, or even more.
Its own weight, the weight of the bomb, and the weight of the fuel itself will all consume a lot of fuel during flight.
For something as big as the B-29, almost half of its weight is used to carry fuel.
It weighs up to 50 tons. The maximum one-way distance is 9,000 kilometers. How much fuel is needed to support it?
“How big is this guy’s gas tank?”
"It can fill up to two tons of fuel."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
This is the most significant aircraft he has mastered so far.
A bomber worthy of the name. It was capable of medium and long range. At that time, 1,900 kilometers was definitely not too short.
It seems that only the Soviet Union, the United States, and the Japanese have long-range bombers in the world.
Other powers did not, including the Germans. The Germans later paid a heavy price for this shortcoming.
Wave.
Have someone bring the wooden ladder over.
Set up the ladder. Climb into the cockpit. Start understanding in detail.
McCoy stood on the ladder and explained to Zhang Yong in detail.
"Crack!"
Zhang Yong threw him a wad of dollars.
They are all with a face value of 5 US dollars. A total of 20 of them, which is 100 US dollars.
A hand with carrots.
A big stick.
Zhang Yong was also familiar with this move.
For the time being, we still need help from some gringos, especially the technical ones.
You don’t have to have a pilot. You don’t have to have a navigator. However, you have to have bombardiers and mechanics. Because of these two items, Zhang Yong cannot replace them.
"Duchamp Dragon!"
"arrive!"
"Call Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo."
"yes."
Du Shanglong immediately sent someone.
But Zhang Yong suddenly remembered that he was not enough on his own.
Two bombers require two crews. They need at least one skilled pilot and a backup.
If the system delivers relevant parts one day, there will be three bombers. Or even four or five bombers.
Therefore, relevant crew members must be trained from now on.
It just so happened that Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo were flying Hawker-3 fighter jets. They could be handed over to others to take their place.
The only advantage of the Hawker-3 is that it is easy to use. It is easy for novices to get started.
As long as there is enough gasoline for training, it can fly in fifty hours.
If you have spent more than 100 hours in the sky, you can basically be considered proficient.
How to get enough gasoline?
Of course, it will be delivered by the system. Shipped. Ship by ship.
One ship has more than 2,000 tons. Delivery once every three days is enough.
"Commissioner."
"Commissioner."
Soon, Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo arrived.
Zhang Yong nodded and then told the two men that they would be transferred to fly bombers.
Both of them are senior pilots with more than 300 hours of flying time.
At that time, it was already considered a rare existence. It was on the same level as Gao Yuanhang, Chen Shanben and others.
"Would you like that?"
"willing!"
The two of them answered without thinking.
They are all uncontrollably excited.
It's an honor to be able to drive such a big guy.
They have stayed at Hankou Airport for a relatively long time, and of course they know the existence of Martin 139WC.
Privately, they had discussed that if this kind of bomber took off from the coast, it could fly directly to the Japanese invaders' homeland.
In other words, if they want to bomb the Japanese homeland, they can do it.
Now, Zhang Yong asked them to fly this bomber...
Could it be that we are going to bomb...
"You guessed it right." Zhang Yong said slowly, "We may fight across the ocean at any time."
Zhang Yong did not explicitly say that he was going to bomb the Japanese homeland.
In fact, bombing the Japanese homeland was just a choice. It was not an inevitable choice.
As long as you have long-range bombers in your hands, wouldn't it be good to bomb the Japanese invaders' airports? Wouldn't it be good to bomb the Japanese invaders' warships? Wouldn't they have to go to the mainland?
Due to flight restrictions, we could only reach the west of the Japanese invaders' homeland, such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It was completely unable to have a fatal impact on the Japanese invaders.
It would be better to bomb the Japanese heavy ground artillery, tanks, etc. The effect would be immediate.
In short, as long as you have a sword in your hand, you can use it whatever you want.
These Martin 139WC bombers are the swords in their hands. They can stab whoever they want.
"Very good!"
"Very good!"
Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo were both overjoyed.
It would be very difficult for other people to fly these bombers across the ocean and reach the Japanese homeland.
To be continued...
