"Buzz buzz..." This is a new aircraft equipped with two 18-cylinder Hengshan 132 1850-horsepower engines. The two powerful engines bring it faster speeds and greater load.

With a roar, the plane called "tiger-headed moth" roared into the sky!

Tu Menghu squinted his eyes and looked at the introduction of this aircraft without saying a word. The fuselage skeleton and key parts of this aircraft are made of aluminum alloy. In order to reduce weight, holes are drilled in aluminum alloy parts to reduce weight.

The body and skin were bonded with wood. After more than a year of replacing the glue of hundreds of formulas, I found the secret recipe heirloom from an old Huang family in Yunnan. The secret recipes of the lacquer family for hundreds of years were indeed extraordinary.

In fact, the paint of this secret recipe is not only used for bonding, but also a lot of paint is applied to the body. Dozens of workers spent 10 days carefully polishing and painting to minimize resistance.

Tu Menghu looked at the introduction and found that since the engine was much stronger than the mosquito type in history, it had advantages in climbing speed and ammunition loading. However, the huge windward surface of the air-cooled engine caused the maximum speed to be slightly inferior to that of the mosquitoes in history.

After a closer look, you can still find the difference between this aircraft and the mosquito type. For example: Although there are two engines, the drilled skeleton beam and wooden fuselage have caused the fuselage to be very average, so the survivability after being shot is poor.

Jia Xiaohou and the Air Force test pilots' assessment instructions clearly state that once used for fighter jets, they cannot fight with enemy fighters for a long time. The attack on enemy bombers is mainly done in a short period of interspersed assault, and do not bite the tail for a long time and block the fire for a long time.

"I have read the test pilot's report. Commander, I asked for special exercises and training for the entire fighter." Chen Haihua, commander-in-chief of the Defense Forces Air Force, also came to the scene. The Air Force is the main user and they naturally have to see what kind of product this aircraft is.

To be fair, Chen Haihua was not optimistic about the Tigerhead Moth Plan at the beginning. In his opinion, the wooden plane was outdated. The poor survival ability was a flaw. Moreover, aluminum was lighter than wood.

But after seeing the tiger-headed moth, Chen Haihua felt that his concept had been subverted. As an old air force, he naturally saw the advantages of the tiger-headed moth at a glance: strong horsepower, light weight, and large load capacity!

During the test flight, Chen Haihua followed the observation all the way. The take-off weight ranged from the net weight of the airplane 6:4 tons to the final carrying 2:5 tons of the bay, which means the total weight is nearly nine tons, but the speed remains unabated!

This shocked Chen Haihua. At the same time, the maximum ceiling is 8,000 to 10,000 meters, and the range of 1,200 kilometers can reach 1,800 kilometers after loading the secondary fuel tank. Chen Haihua was very nervous!

This can completely allow the National Defense Force to take off from near the occupied area of ​​the 38th parallel and then directly bomb the Japanese mainland! Even if the National Defense Force takes over the entire North Korea, then bombing Tokyo is not a problem!

This aircraft is relatively cheaper than aluminum aircraft. The tree Paulownia grows all over China. It borders southern Liaoning, the imperial capital, Yan'an, south to Guangdong, Guangxi, east to Taiwan, west to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Especially eastern Henan and southwest Shandong are the central production areas.

There is no shortage of manpower in logging. Due to the invasion and harvesting of the Japanese army, the large-scale desolation of arable land and countless people fleeing famines. Originally, there were a large number of loggers in the three northeastern provinces, which could ensure the logging of timber.

In terms of manufacturing, Chen Haihua is the least worried about. It is not an exaggeration to describe the modern wood cutting that has already begun in the three northeastern provinces as a carpenter who escaped from the crowd.

Once these people are organized, they are afraid of the problem of productivity? Chen Haihua couldn't help but sigh that this fighter was naturally born for China! Naturally, born for the National Defense Forces!

"Commander, I think we should speed up the R&D speed. We should organize confrontation drills as soon as possible, and train special fighter jets and bomber pilots..." Chen Haihua gave seventeen or eighteen suggestions in one breath, and even these suggestions were recorded by him in a small notebook.

This made Tu Menghu laugh. When Old Chen talked to him about tiger-headed moth, he sneered. If it were hindered by the Commander-in-Chief's face, the old guy would probably roll his eyes on the spot.

But he is the one who is most enthusiastic now. He probably didn't think of these suggestions by himself. Looking at the staff members beside him staring at the tiger-headed moth with their eyes shining, Tu Menghu knew that the Air Force commander must have gone back and worked together.

"Well, let me leave this matter to you and Chief Engineer Jia to coordinate." Tu Menghu smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Jia is the head of design and manufacturing, and you are the main user. Just coordinate between you and I don't care too much."

After saying that, Tu Menghu raised his telescope and watched the ongoing flight test. This time, a special test was conducted by an Air Force pilot. In the air, the test pilot began to conduct various extreme tests regardless of his life.

Rapid lift, dive, flight rolling, etc. are constantly being made, and each action is a test of the quality of the tiger-headed moth.

This is even a threat to the life of the pilot, but in order for his comrades to use better aircraft in the future, the test pilot still insists on using bigger actions to test the aircraft.

After more than an hour of rigorous tests, the plane finally landed slowly from the air and finally stopped steadily at the airport while gliding.

When the young test pilot got off the plane, Tu Menghu was suddenly stunned. He recognized this person, Chen Haihua's son Chen Weihua! Originally, Chen Weihua didn't call this name, but this name was changed by Chen Haihua, who was extremely sad and angry after September 18th.

He hopes that his son can soar under this blue sky in the future and defend this land. But Tu Menghu didn't expect that Chen Haihua would let his son work as a high-risk job as a test pilot!

"What is it not to do?! Can't he be a test pilot just because he is my son?!" Chen Haihua seemed to see what Tu Menghu was thinking.

"Whose son is not a son?! Commander-in-chief, you are much stronger from a background than Wei Hua, and you are still fighting on the battlefield?! If Wei Hua really had something happened to the test plane, I would only be proud of him and not sigh for him!"

While speaking, Chen Weihua had already trotted to Chen Haihua and Tu Menghu. However, he saw him saluting meticulously and shouting to the two of them.

"Chen Weihua, the No. 5 test pilot of the First Air Force Test Flight Brigade of the Chinese Defense Force, report to the chief! Please give instructions!"

"At a moment! Report your test flight results!" Chen Haihua didn't look at his son at all. He replied with a military salute and there was no smile on his face.

Perhaps, another test pilot, Chen Haihua would walk down with a smile and pat the test pilot on the shoulder and say thank you for your hard work. When Chen Weihua comes, Chen Haihua has always been doing business and doesn't even have any feelings.

Before joining the army, Chen Haihua grabbed his son and said: You can come in, explain it first. Become a meritorious person?! Half of it will be deducted before you count. Have you ever gotten it?! Get out of here if you can't stand it, don't taint this national defense army uniform! The glory of those national defense army soldiers lying in the martyrs' cemetery cannot be defiled at all!!

"Yes! After twenty long distances, twenty loads, thirty high-altitude lifts, fourteen hover tests, a total of eighty-four test flights, it has been confirmed that the "tiger-headed moth" has met the long-distance bombing, combat, etc. of our Air Force, and its body structure is not easy to be damaged! It is recommended to conduct a fighting exercise test! The report is completed!"

Tu Mengben was stunned again. He did not expect that Chen Haihua would let his biological son conduct the test flight of this new aircraft for 84 consecutive times without any hesitation.

It can be said that every takeoff is very likely to make Chen Weihua unable to get off the ground. But Chen Haihua still did this, and Tu Menghu didn't say anything. He was still silent because he saw that Chen Weihua's current military rank was still just a lieutenant.

There is no doubt that if he had such skills in the combat troops, he would have been promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel. But Chen Weihua was still just a lieutenant.

Even in the test flight brigade, Chen Weihua's military rank is still middle and lower. He is on par with the new test pilot who just arrived.

"After going back, submit your test flight report." Chen Haihua still had no good face and replied to Chen Weihua. After pausing, he said: "By the way, the transfer order for your request to be transferred to the front line has been dropped. Go to the front line, don't embarrass me. Go!"

Chen Weihua's face finally showed a smile, and he stood attentively and called out loud. Then he turned around in a standard military posture and left the rostrum.

"It's not the first time Wei Hua has gone to the front line. What else are you worried about?!" Tu Menghu smiled at Chen Haihua and said, "Didn't he shoot down five Japanese fighter jets last time?! These are all ace pilots. Uncle Chen, what else do you have to worry about?!"

"Commander-in-Chief, you don't know. This kid has a little bit of grades and his tail is so high that I transferred him back to be a test pilot just to polish his character." Chen Haihua showed a hint of gentleness that belonged to his father at this time: "Besides, there was no war on the front line at that time. What did he stay there for?! Why would he come back and test flights. Now he is about to fight the Japanese, so I will let him go back."

"I just hope that this kid won't lose my old face!"

In Shanghai, the new commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, Shinro Hata slowly walked down from the plane. He held his command knife tightly and looked at the officers who came to greet him with a calm face.

Lieutenant General Ando Riki, acting commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, stepped forward several times and bowed deeply to Hata Shunruo and said, "Welcome to the General to take office. Ando and the Chinese Expeditionary Army are all honored!"

Hata Shunji nodded and walked towards the car without saying anything. Ando Riki followed him quietly. After sending Hata Shunji into the car, he turned around and got onto his car.
Chapter completed!
