Zhou Zhihan followed the instructor and saw the recruits dressed in uniform from afar and were practicing marching on the playground. They all looked full of spring breeze and were full of energy. It seemed that they had heard or heard something exciting before.

It should be because of the continuous good news from the Air Force that these rookies were so happy.

The students whose mouth fluff had not yet completely faded were walking neatly. Several instructors were holding instructor sticks and patrolling behind their backs. Those students were walking in a bad manner, so they would correct them strictly.

Zhou Zhihan looked at the more than 100 new air force pilots and couldn't help but sigh secretly. His tender faces were full of excitement and he was full of longing for the future of the air force, but he did not know that the casualty rate of the Chinese Air Force during the War of Resistance Against Japan was the highest among all branches of the military.

Although Zhou Zhihan knew that the Chinese Air Force was almost wiped out in the Battle of Shanghai, he had no right to prevent these young people from joining the Air Force.

In any case, someone had to fly a plane into the sky to fight against the Japanese army to defend the country's airspace. Some people would bleed in the war, and some people paid the price of their lives for it. No one could change what was happening and about to happen.

It is because he knows too much? He has too deep, so the pain in his heart is also the deepest.

Zhou Zhihan actually didn't want to be the chief flight instructor. He didn't want to watch the students he taught, walking towards the blue sky one by one and never coming back.

This morning, although the young Chinese Air Force showed enthusiasm and courage, their old-fashioned and backward tactics were also a major reason why they did not sank the Izumo today.

Among the air force pilots, except Gao Zhihang, Zhan Huo, Zhang Mufei, and the squadron captains of each brigade, the squadron captains have rich combat experience, while other pilots are basically inexperienced rookies.

For example, when the No. 903 bomber kicked open the defense gate of the Izumo, several other bombers actually bombed small ships on the water surface, and did not concentrate their firepower in time. When they reacted again, the sky above the Izumo was covered by the firepower of other ships of the third fleet that were supported.

Many of these newly recruited students looked like they were poor, with few tall, rich and handsome men. This is also the reason why the new recruits were happy. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the Air Force pilots were tall, rich and handsome men, and the children of poor people had to be very good to enter.

For example, Zhou Zhihan himself, in order to gild the Randolph Air Force Academy, his wealthy family almost had a bottom line.

In the past, Air Force pilots were composed of many tall, rich and handsome men who flew in the blue sky, envious of people.

Now that wars are taking place between China and Japan, powerful families know in advance that pilots are at the highest risk when the enemy is strong and we are weak. Therefore, most of these more than 100 trainees are outstanding soldiers from poor families selected from various armies.

At this time, children from poor families in China were generally malnourished, pale and thin, not tall, and looked very empty in military uniforms. Many people just joined the army because they could eat enough. After arriving in the army, they always admired the majestic posture of pilots flying in the air. After hearing that they could be screened, they joined the Air Force, so they signed up for the screening.

air force.

It is the pride of heaven.

It is the dream of many young people. In the past, the children of poor families dared not think about it. Now it is close to you, and many soldiers sign up enthusiastically.

Just looking at the size of these rookies, you will know that they need to train their physical strength well. Without a strong body, they will not be able to control the fighter.

I heard that the temporary chief instructor was here, and all the students were so arrogant that they dared not come out, so they stood attentively.

All students know that the chief instructor is a top student who has returned from the United States and a proud student of the president of Randolph Air Force Academy. He completed the studies that others had to complete in three years in a year and a half, and graduated with excellent grades. During his time in the United States, even the US Marine Corps wanted to recruit him, but he chose to return to the dire domestic coaching of the Air Force.

In the past few days, the students heard the most about how the chief instructor flew the Martin 139wc heavy bomber and how to forcefully take off in heavy winds and rains He111                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Today, everyone heard that the chief instructor fought against two Japanese carrier-based aircraft with one against two, and forced himself to fly back with a super big gyration, instantly killing the Type 95 carrier-based aircraft behind him, shocking all Japanese pilots and making great achievements.

Zhou Zhihan did not give all the new students a warning like when he was at Randolph, but instead told the students directly that they did not need to practice pedaling in the future. After warming up before and after each training, they directly practice strength, physical fitness, eyes, and rotation.

The Air Force during World War II was not as well-trained as the Air Force in the 21st century.

Especially in the Jianqiao Aviation School, which had poor equipment at that time, there were no excessive training methods and basic training, mainly practicing physical fitness, endurance, eye concentration, and simple training such as not being able to experience dizziness when spinning.

In the military academy, students are asked to practice walking in a straight manner, which is to be uniform and beautiful, and to let their superiors see when they come to inspect in the future. It is of no use in actual combat and is a waste of students' time and energy.

Now that China and Japan are on war, there is no time for pilots to practice walking in a straight line to please the big guys who come to inspect.

In the peace era, flight students can start with various footwork practices and gradually progress in cycles, because some are wasted time, and now it is a matter of trouble. When employed, students' training methods must also be taken to find a different approach.

The Japanese army had thousands of reserve pilots to use, but the Chinese Air Force currently has no reserve force. All pilots were killed by one and one less, so they had to train a group of excellent pilots in the fastest and most practical way.

Zhou Zhihan directly asked the students to take push-ups, and he wanted to see how these students usually have physical reserves in the army.

Although these students are one in a thousand, their physical condition does not look very good. After all, children from poor families have weak physical foundations since childhood. Compared with European and American flight students, Chinese students are at an absolute disadvantage in their physical condition. Even Japanese pilots who belong to Asia have a much higher physical fitness than Chinese pilots.

This is an indisputable reality.

When the instructor heard that they asked them to do push-ups, the students looked at each other.

What the hell do you want to push ups?

There are actually many students who don’t know what push-ups are and how to do them. They have been here for a few days, walking in a straight stance every day, practicing military posture, and they don’t know what push-ups are.

Zhou Zhihan almost rolled his eyes.

Ask the students to run back and forth, check their physical reserves, as well as their speed and sensitivity when running.

Run back?

Won't.

Deadlift?

Won't.

No jumping obstacles, climbing obstacles, etc.

The students said they didn’t know anything about this, and they had never heard of it.

As for the most basic training methods such as standing back-projecting medicine balls, deadlifts, various push-up exercises, fifty-meter sprints, dragging hard objects to hold their breath underwater, holding their legs, and five-kilometer off-roading, all of which have not been trained.

I haven't even heard of it.
