One hundred and forty Chief Instructor (seeking monthly pass)
Mao Bang first saw Zhou Zhihan's concerns and said, "At present, you are the most suitable position as the chief instructor of the Air Force.
American technical consultants may leave China because of the war. Even if they stay in China, they are still only technical consultants.
You have returned from studying in the United States and have excellent character and academic performance. You are a proud disciple of the president of Randolph Air Force Academy. Yesterday and today, you made great achievements and everyone is promising to you. So no matter from any aspect, you are suitable for the position of chief instructor of the Air Force."
After hearing what Mao Bangchu said, Zhou Zhihan dispelled all his concerns. He could see that Mao Bangchu really treated him as a disciple and thoughtful about everything for him.
"By the way, Zhihan," said Mao Bangchu, "China Air Force No. 214 will be your landline number. This is the decision of our Air Force headquarters after research, and it is also a reward and affirmation of your outstanding performance in the past two days.
You are the chief instructor and no longer go to the front line. The opportunity you are flying is assigned to other pilots, but the landline number of 214 will always belong to you!”
"Mr.!" Zhou Zhihan heard that he would no longer let him fly to the front line in the future, and was a little anxious. Since he had traveled to this era, good men should kill the enemy for the country. "I will do it first in chief instructor. I want to ask you, if there is a major top-secret flight mission, please think of me as soon as possible."
Mao Bangchu smiled: "The reason why the principal insists on letting you be the chief instructor is because you have excellent flying skills and have learned advanced tactics and flight concepts in the West, which can bring better techniques and tactics to the new Air Force students. Of course, if there is a task that others cannot perform, then of course you will take action yourself. Our good steel is used on the blade, so that you can not only play your strengths, but also protect you. When you need to launch a fatal blow to the enemy, it is when you play the protagonist."
Zhou Zhihan had nothing to say about Mao Bangchu's explanation. He was patriotic in teaching in the aviation school. He could not save China alone, nor could he shoot down all Japanese fighter jets. If he wanted to save China, he could not fly into the blue sky alone. Only thousands of passionate men could work together to build an indestructible Great Wall.
At night, the war room was brightly lit, but there was no light from outside, and the entire Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport was trapped in endless darkness.
The combatants were pondering the various combat plans tomorrow in detail. Mao Bang didn't rest for the first few days, his eyes were red, but his spirit was still good. The victory during the day made him sleepless. Together with all the combatants, he planned how to cooperate with the army and the navy to attack the Japanese fortifications tomorrow.
According to relevant information, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive at Hangzhou Bay in the next two days, so the commander-in-chief ordered Shanghai's offensive forces to wipe out the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai within the past two days.
Just outside the combat room, on the playground, and in the dark, Zhou Zhihan was chatting with all the new rookies.
Zhou Zhihan lit a cigarette himself and sat cross-legged on the ground. The rookies surrounded him. Those who could smoke could be bold. No problem, the Japanese pilot's eyes were not yet practiced to the point where people could see the state of smoking a few kilometers away at night.
Compared with the Army and the Navy, the Air Force is treated very well. Each pilot has a pack of cigarettes every day, not to mention food. There is meat every meal, and you can eat as much as you can.
Zhou Zhihan looked around the rookies: "I guess you have also seen the air battle that happened over my Jianqiao base today. Do you think our Air Force can achieve such a great record?"
Seeing that the rookies were afraid to speak, Zhou Zhihan smiled: "Speak freely and say whatever you want. We are chatting now, so you can say boldly!"
"I think the ability of Japanese pilots is just average. If we beat them to 18 to 0, it will tell everything."
"I think it's mainly because our pilots are very skilled and can't afford to pick up the hats when they beat them."
"The Japanese pilot can't do it..."
“…”
“…”
The novices answered one after another.
Zhou Zhihan asked: "Do you know where these Japanese fighter jets came from?"
The rookies shook their heads one after another.
"The Japanese air force took off from Taiwan Airport, and from Taiwan to Hangzhou Jianqiao, about 700 kilometers. The Type 98 ship attack carried bombs and had a long-distance flight, and the speed could only be maintained at 230 kilometers. In other words, it would take at least three and a half hours to fly from Taiwan Airport to Jianqiao Airport, which consumed a lot of their physical strength.
More importantly, the Type 98 ship attack is a bomber, with poor air defense capabilities. Their bloated figure is not suitable for air combat, so we beat him 18 to 0."
After the chief instructor said this, all the rookies stopped talking!
"When the Japanese Army's Type 98 ship attack flew from Taiwan to over Jianqiao Airport, the Type 95 ship battle and Type 96 ship battle that took off from the [Longxiang] aircraft carrier stationed around Shanghai failed to arrive over Jianqiao Airport in time to escort the Type 98 ship attack, so the Type 98 ship attack became the target of our Air Force, and 18 aircraft were shot down, which is normal."
The novices are silent.
"Do you know how long it will take for the Japanese army to train an air force?"
The rookies shook their heads.
"It takes three years for Japan to train an air force.
So don't think that the Japanese aviation army's flight skills are average. On the contrary, the Japanese aviation army's skills are very superb. They have many ace pilots, and the flight time of these ace pilots is thousands of hours, far exceeding the flight time of most pilots in our country."
The rookies looked at each other, and no one had ever said anything to them.
"But you don't have to worry.
Although the Japanese pilots are skilled, I know their weaknesses and I know how to defeat them.
From now on, as long as you learn what I teach you well, we can overtake and kill the so-called ace pilots of the Japanese army.
Think about it, if you kill the Japanese ace pilot in the future, it would be such a glorious thing. It would be something that would allow you to glorify your ancestors, and it would be a glory that your descendants could always show them to others."
After saying this, all the novices began to dream of being promoted one day, returning to their hometown, flowers blooming, and applause and cheering.
Zhou Zhihan paused for a moment. The rookies nowadays may not know what it means to overtake on a curve, so they added: "As long as you learn what I taught you thoroughly, you can take shortcuts and surpass the Japanese in skills."
The rookies were just blown by the head instructor and put away their contempt for the Japanese. They were a little depressed. Now they heard that they could take shortcuts better than the Japanese, and they immediately became energetic again.
Zhou Zhihan poured cold water on the rookies and continued to speak.
"Today, the Chinese Air Force has achieved great results, which is inseparable from their usual hard training. If you want to fly freely in the sky like them, kill enemies and serve the country, and then return to your hometown, you must withstand my devilish training.
I have to tell you that it is not that the Japanese pilots are incompetent, but that they suffer from the disadvantages of the right time, place, and people.
You must hone your skills and practice as excellent as your senior pilots.
Remember, remember, you must not despise Japanese pilots. Whoever dares to despise Japanese pilots may pay the price of your life!
Tonight, you must remember what I say to you.
Japanese pilots are far better than you think!”
In the darkness, the rookies' eyes were like stars, looking at the serious chief instructor in front of them, silently remembering his words.
"From tomorrow morning, I will give you a month of devil physical training, and I will make you tired every day and doubt your life.
During this period, if you can't hold on, you will immediately go back from my team. If you can persist, we will fly on the plane!"
Chapter completed!
