- ps: Khan, this is not a jump chapter! But I suddenly found that the chapter number was wrong, and now I corrected it.
After the plane stopped, Yang Qiu immediately led everyone and several designers into the bomber named H-12.
The H-12 is a second-generation long-range bomber that was put out for bid in 1938 after the H-7 was put into service. The Air Force felt that the bomb carrying capacity, range and altitude were insufficient. The most important indicator at that time was "10,000 kilometers, 60 tons, and five tons of ammunition with a radius of at least 5,000 kilometers." These three scares directly scared away many companies. In the end, the three major companies with the strongest foundation, Meteor, Airbus and Northern Raytheon, came up with three verification machines: H11, H12 and H13. After two years of competition, Airbus¡¯ H12 finally won. .
The H-12 looks exactly like Figure 95, but that doesn¡¯t mean it has the same performance. The complicated instruments and equipment tell Yang Qiu that this is still a standard World War II bomber, but it uses technologies such as swept wings. In terms of internal integration, it is worse than the b-29 that the US government has signed a purchase agreement with. However, it also has its own advantages. Its range and volume are slightly larger than those of the b-29. The maximum speed is 600 kilometers per hour, the empty weight is 37 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 65 tons, the maximum ceiling is 13,000 meters, the maximum transition range is 12,000 kilometers, the combat radius when carrying four tons of bombs is 6,000 kilometers, and the eight-ton bombs are 4,200 kilometers. It can be launched from Xinyang, Henan Take off to bomb Delhi, India and then return¡. The designed maximum bomb load is 11 tons, but at this time the fuel load must be reduced by a quarter, otherwise it will not fly, and the radius is only 2,700 kilometers. The self-defense weapon is twelve 12.7 machine guns. The reason for achieving breakthroughs in range, ceiling, and bomb load is four 2,500-horsepower five-blade turboprop engines.
Among the major countries, in addition to Japan and Italy, they are actually studying turbine engines, and the British heritage and technical reserves are the strongest. Test runs of the 800-horsepower model were completed secretly in January 1939. Turbojet engines are also installed and tested. However, the war caused Britain to slow down its scientific research and focus on the fastest-growing jet and piston engines. Germany, France, and Su have also done similar research. But they either didn't have urgent needs, or the country was gone, or like the Soviet Union, they had insufficient material and technical reserves. In the end, they were all shelved in 1938.
Because of the Yang Qiuhe data machine, China began to reserve technology as early as the early 1930s. By the 3010 plan, it was officially included in the country's top scientific research projects. In the early days, due to insufficient materials technology, only structures could be created. It was not until the advent of computers that materials research accelerated. The end of 1938 was the most important turning point in China's aviation industry. At that time, Britain was in urgent need of bombers, so Yang Qiu used a thousand bomber agreement to exchange for nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys known as jet metals. After purchasing from the United States and France during the economic crisis and perfecting sponge titanium and powder metallurgy technology, Yang Qiu , and ultimately developed titanium alloy and nickel-chromium-titanium technology. Finally, with the addition of Skron (aluminum-lithium alloy) that Jin Bihui exchanged from Germany last year, the 800-horsepower prototype test was finally completed on the fourth day after the British test.
Although it was three days behind at the beginning, due to technological reserves, especially breakthroughs in material technology, and Europe's slowdown in war, the power has more than tripled in just 22 months from the beginning of last year. It has also initially been installed and used, and the gap has widened immediately. It should be noted that the current aviation materials are even top-notch. There is no way to completely solve the problem of overheating of the wheel shaft and blades, so the failure interval of this engine is still very short.
If it weren¡¯t for the overheating and fire problem of the originally selected piston engine with the same horsepower, the Air Force would not have chosen the turboprop. However, after technicians risked project failure to use turboprops, they unexpectedly greatly improved the performance of the aircraft. Because the same horsepower turboprop engine is about one-third lighter than the piston engine. This is equivalent to reducing the weight of the aircraft, and the high-altitude performance of the turboprop is better. The disadvantage is that the technology is not really mature yet. Therefore, the logistics required to maintain one H-12 is equivalent to three H-7s or seven H-5s.
Fortunately, it will take another year from the end of model selection to final equipment, so the Air Force has gathered engine and material technology experts from across the country and mobilized universities across the country to work together, hoping to increase the life and horsepower of the engine again before it is officially put into service. And what makes Yang Qiu really satisfied is that the H-12 and the various verification aircraft test machines he just saw are all computer-aided designs, especially the complex calculations required for new technologies such as swept wings and tail stress, are all done by Completed by computer, it achieved an important breakthrough in the field of engineering design.
When Yang Qiu was chatting with everyone, lamenting that the H-12 might not be able to catch up with the bombing of Japan, Gu Yuwen's shout came from outside: "President, Director Yan and Director Dai are here."
"Dai Yunong, why is he here?" Yang Qiu frowned quietly. Dai Yunong is outstanding in work and ability, but he is too greedy. After the intelligence reform was split into three parts, the functions of the National Security Agency were restricted and its powers were much smaller. But now is a war period, and the Security Bureau still has a lot of foreign affairs tasks. He has also used this to build many industries in Nanyang with Du Yuesheng and others. It's just that he is shrewd and knows that the domestic government keeps a close eye on him, keeps all his industry outside, and does it secretly so that no one can catch him.
After getting out of the plane, I saw Yan Baohang.??Dai Yunong was waiting nearby with a solemn expression, not even looking at the various verification machines. "President, Chief of Staff, Commander He" Dai Yunong was a good person and greeted everyone. Everyone knew that the two of them were looking for Yang Qiu, so they all avoided it. Only Yue Peng and He Ning stayed.
During the war, the president's itinerary was top secret, and Yang Qiu did not tell the National Security Agency about this trip, so Yue Peng looked at Yan Baohang: "Baohang, why do you have to chase me here? Can't you tell me in the telegram?" Listen to the words Feeling a little dissatisfied, Dai Yunong quickly opened his wallet, took out a stack of photos and handed them to Yang Qiu: "President, it's not Baohang's fault. This matter is really too urgent." He was very good at being a man and took responsibility in just a few words. Pull it on yourself. Yang Qiu didn't care about this, picked up the photo and looked at it. The photo shows a submarine sailing in unknown waters. The German Navy logo is prominently displayed on the side of the submarine's control tower. He didn't understand the navy, and the submarine only showed the control tower, so he couldn't tell which model it was.
Dai Yunong quickly introduced from the side: "President, this was accidentally photographed by one of our geological survey team members in Canada. It was located in the bay east of the Ungava Peninsula in Canada. According to him, there were two submarines at the time. It's training. The photos of the other two ships that were too far away are blurry. Only this one has a clearer picture." The geological expedition team is actually a special type of intelligence department, which usually uses exploration and inspection as a cover to conduct on-the-spot exploration of geological water patterns and environments in various countries. Such institutions exist in all major countries, and most of them are private institutions as cover. The data collected are mainly used for commercial and scientific research. Of course, they will also be included in national databases for emergencies.
"CanadaUngava Bay?" Yang Qiu was not familiar with this place name. When Yan Baohang unfolded the map and pointed out this bay close to Greenland, he wondered: "What are the Germans doing here?"
Seeing that Yang Qiu didn¡¯t understand yet, Yan Baohang reminded: ¡°President. This is not a German submarine!¡±
"It's not from Germany? This sign" Yue Peng was also surprised. Pointing to the eye-catching German Navy logo on the command tower, he suddenly thought of something and waved to Bingwen: "Bingwen, come and see for me, what model is this?"
Because he didn¡¯t paraphrase Yan Baohang¡¯s words. So Bingwen picked up the photo and thought it was a German submarine at first: "It looks like a German viib-type U-boat. This kind of submarine has an easy to identify feature, that is, the command tower is high in the front and low in the back. But D?nitz issued an order that German markings are not allowed on the outside of submarines, andwait, something is wrong here! Why does this place look like it has been modified? The periscope is in the wrong position, too. The periscope of a U-boat They are all in the front half of the control tower, why is this one a little behind?" He became more and more confused as he looked at it. As the doubts grew, he immediately asked Dai Yunong, who had brought the photo: "Is this Germany's new submarine?"
"No." Dai Yunong shook his head: "Before coming, Baohang and I met General Bai Yutang and went to the Military Intelligence Bureau database for verification. After analysis, it was determined that this should be a British S-class submarine! It was deliberately modified into a German viib Type submarine!" The Bai Yutang he mentioned was the Navy's best submarine expert and the current Chief of Staff of the Second Fleet. If he said it was British S-class. Then nine times out of ten it's true.
"Two British S-class submarines converted into U-boats!"
Yang Qiu¡¯s heart suddenly shrank, and he immediately looked at Yue Peng. They all saw each other's inner shock. Churchill took action, and it was Roosevelt's lowest ebb and most dangerous time! It would be a lie to say that the two of them did not negotiate! "Can you destroy them?" He Ning also reacted. The first feeling is that the submarine should be blown up and the United States should be permanently blocked in North America. But Dai Yunong shook his head: "The photo was taken twenty days ago, and it is no longer there."
"Put away all the negatives and copies, and the scientific expedition team will also step up surveillance. Treat this as if it never happened! Do you understand?!" Yang Qiu glanced at everyone with sharp eyes. After analyzing the pros and cons, he decided to block the news permanently. Only Yue Peng understood his thoughts. The United States cannot be contained. Since it cannot be contained, it is better to let him join in. What's more, if there hadn't been a geological team near this inaccessible bay, this matter would have become the biggest mystery in history.
China¡¯s geographical location determines that it is impossible to confront the German army head-on. It is impossible to rely on the British to deal with millions of elite German troops. "He can come if he wants. Let's see how he wipes Churchill's butt." Yang Qiu smiled coldly, looked back at H-12, and asked He Ning: "How long will it take?"
"Materials at coastal airports such as Vladivostok, Qingdao, Yantai, and Lianyungang have been put in place. The three main airports at Xingkai Lake have been repaired and materials are being transported there. They can start in half a month at most." Isn't it just a matter of strategic bombing? It can be done, it involves a huge amount of materials and work, and it often takes a long time to prepare. Being able to prepare to this level less than two months after the war started is already very efficient.
After hearing the preparations, Yang Qiu looked at Yue Peng: "Zian, do you want to blow it up first?"??µÂɽ? "
"No!" Yue Peng categorically refused: "Once things happen, Roosevelt will definitely declare war on the Soviet Union, Germany, Japan, and Italy at the same time. Halsey is still at Wake Island, and there are two aircraft carriers and several battleships in Pearl Harbor! And we don¡¯t have time to attack Truk now. If the lifeline of the Japanese navy is cut off at once, who can ensure that Kimmel will not let Halsey go ahead of us and attack Truk?"
He Ning also said: "I also feel that the lifeline of the Japanese navy should not be cut off at once. The best way is to immediately organize several bombings of Truk, Palikir, Rabaul and other places "
"Commander He, are you going to let Japan strengthen the defense of these places?" Bingwen also understood at this time. He Ning wanted to use "light" bombing to force the Japanese Navy to strengthen the defense of Truk and other places. In this way, even if the United States immediately joins the war, it will have to pay a high price if it wants to fight. You know, Japan's HNA has flown with China twice and several times, and the remaining veteran pilots have more experience. It is far from something that an American newcomer can easily deal with.
And it was for this reason that Yue Peng didn't blow up Deshan. Because Tokuyama stores 70% of the Japanese navy's oil, if Tokuyama is blown up, Japan will be half dead. If it hadn't happened just now, it would have exploded if it exploded, but that doesn't work now. We have to wait for Truk to be captured and for the United States to clarify the direction of its attack.
The situation has finally reached a point where it can affect the whole body!¡ª¡ª
Rangpur. It is an important railway hub town in northern Bangladesh, where the mighty Teesta River and the Brahmaputra River meet 40 kilometers east of it. With a population of only 80,000, it controls the only railway from West Bengal and Mumbai to Northeast India. 135 kilometers further north from here, there is the world-famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Through the railway and two rivers, Britain could threaten Tibet. It could also transport a steady stream of gold, silver, tea, jute and other materials to Calcutta, becoming a source of finance for the British Empire.
Hundreds of years of colonial rule seem to have been deeply ingrained in the Indian people's bones, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it. It was not until Japanese soldiers landed in Dhaka and Calcutta that the peace here was broken. Before the Japanese left, soldiers from China began to be sent here again by plane, train or truck. When armored vehicles and tanks puffing out black smoke moved in, and trenches were dug around the home. Cannons pointed at the sky, and they realized that the whirlpool of war had expanded in the Indian continent and became more intense.
Rangpur Railway Station was first controlled by Chandra. After Li Zongren arrived, he immediately handed over the place. Because he is not stupid and does not want to use his little money to fill this important town that will definitely be attacked from both sides. Li Zongren and the central officers of the Indian Army were mentally prepared for his cunning. So after the 16th Brigade arrived, it was immediately deployed here.
"General Li. Why are you stopping here? Why don't you attack immediately?" Colonel Wingate drove a Chongqing brand three-wheel motorcycle and stopped in front of the command post. The tall man led 3,000 troops to join the China-India Army, and he had always hoped that the Chinese Army would immediately go south to attack Dhaka. But when he saw that Li Zongren stopped here instead of attacking and put on a defensive posture, he felt a little dissatisfied.
"Colonel Wingate, we need to figure out the enemy's movements first. And now I don't have enough troops and logistics. If I take the initiative to attack, I can't guarantee that I can block the flanking attack from the other side." Li Zongren looked at this man who is said to be related to Lawrence Relation officer, explain the reason for stopping here. He is not an offensive genius like Liu Mingzhao and Zhuo Fan. His style is to play steadily and steadily. The 16th Brigade is only halfway there now, and the 166th Division is all here, but the heavy equipment is behind, making it unsuitable for an immediate attack.
Wingate shrugged his shoulders, disapproving of Li Zongren's explanation. In his heart, he even thought that the Chinese Army's record in Central Asia was full of boasts. Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to invest troops? So he said bluntly: "General Lee, I have been fighting the Japanese here for half a year, and I know their defense capabilities very well. You now have two divisions and one brigade, and there are two more divisions on the road. The Japanese only have two divisions in Bengal." This division already has an absolute advantage in strength, so I think we should attack Japan first and then deal with Ranadivi¡¯s rebels.¡±
"Okay, I will consider it. Thank you for your suggestion." Li Zongren nodded. After sending him away, Fei Wenhua stepped forward and asked: "Commander, do you really want to operate on Shojiro Iida first? His The strength is not weak.¡±
Li Zongren was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "This British guy wants me to touch Japan first. He must be afraid that we will get too involved in India." After hearing what he said, Fei Wenhua finally felt relieved. He also laughed: "The British are like this, self-centered, as if the whole world owes them."
"Don't worry about them, I have independent command." Li Zongren disdainfully argued with a British colonel and asked: "It's you, have you been in India for almost a year? In your opinion, who should be attacked first?"
The three Indian parties brought out ten divisions this time, with more than 150,000 troops scattered here and there. On paper, Li Zongren had nine divisions and one brigade, but in fact it would have been good if Chandra's three divisions could hold on. The 109th Division and the 183rd Division are going to Bombay to support the British army. There are only three divisions, one brigade and a few independent battalions here, and half of the troops are still on the way, and the heavy equipment has not arrived, so it is extremely important who to attack first. The Soviet army of the Communist Party of India has the strongest combat effectiveness, and it is equivalent to fighting on home soil, with little logistical pressure. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was good, but its logistics was poor. And no matter who hits first, the other side will definitely pounce on them and attack from a flank.
After thinking about it, Fei Wenhua still felt that the Communist Party should be printed first: "Yabyshev is the commander-in-chief of the Communist Party of India. He has been fighting with us since Afghanistan until now, and we are very familiar with each other. The combat effectiveness of Soviet veterans is also guaranteed, and what is lacking is It is firepower, and it cannot bring out the full combat effectiveness of the Soviet military system. Moreover, Nehru and Japan are very afraid of the Communist Party of India. If they attack them first, Nehru and Shojiro Iida will definitely find ways to delay the speed of support."
Li Zongren nodded approvingly: "That's good, then how do you think we should fight?"
"My idea is that the fifth division will defend Sirjar and hold the railway line from Dhaka to Assam. Let the 166th Division send two regiments to defend Rangpur, and the 16th Brigade and the 166th Division will mainly attack English Bazar. Here It is the northeastern gateway of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Once captured, it can cross the Ganges and threaten Bokaro Steel City and Kolkata. The disadvantage is that the Communist Party of India has two divisions here and two more divisions on the way. , I¡¯m afraid I have to pay some price.¡±
After listening to what he said, Li Zongren browsed the English Bazar and rejected the plan in his heart. The reason is simple. Even if there is one armored regiment, let alone four Soviet infantry divisions, he would dare to fight even five or six. But now, except for dozens of 25C light tanks and a dozen half-track vehicles that were just delivered, they are all light infantry, and they don't even have many artillery. A forceful attack would definitely cause heavy casualties, but the railway to Myitkyina was not yet open, so he couldn't afford it.
So after looking around, the eyes gradually moved to Bihar controlled by Chandra. He took out a pen and ruler and measured it on the map. After calculating the distance in his mind, he asked without raising his head: "With the current firepower, a frontal attack on four Soviet divisions will cause heavy casualties. You just said, I If I attack the Communist Party of India, Nehru and Shojiro Iida will deliberately slow down reinforcements, so let me ask you, if I attack Nehru, will Ranadivi rush to support?"
"Won't."
"That's right here!" Li Zongren said, the tip of his pen already drawing a line between Patna on the Ganges River and Bokaro Steel City, his eyes burning: "Tell me, will Nehru try to lose four divisions and help Where is Ranadivi holding on to the northern line of Steel City?¡±
