    Qian Tianfu quickly drew a circle representing the flying group and the aircraft logo on the map, and then pointed at the Tsaritsyn Line.

    "The 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Frontline Air Force also has 1 SE5 fighter group, 1 DH4 reconnaissance bomber group and 1 Chinese FR-18 Excellent fighter-bomber group. The entire wing has 124 aircraft. The wing headquarters and the Chinese FR  -18 Excellent 2nd Fighter-Bomber Group is stationed in Tsaritsyn, SE5 2nd Fighter Group is stationed in Kamensk-Shahezinsky, dh4 2nd Reconnaissance Bomber Group is stationed in Rostov-on-Don, the entire 2nd Fighter-Bomber Group  The wing also has 124 fighters!¡±

    "Staff Qian, where are our Handley Page 0/400 and V/1500 heavy bombers? Where did the coalition air force hide them? Or Chief of Staff Chiang, won't they all be converted into transport aircraft to transport arms and ammunition?  Have the supplies gone?" Pepelyaev asked in confusion.

    "Be patient, Your Excellency Pepe, here is the 3rd Heavy Bomber Wing, which consists of 2 Handley Page O/400 bomber groups and 1 Handley Page V/1500 heavy bomber group, and  1 fr-18 Excellent fighter-bomber group, the 3rd heavy bomber wing has a total of 164 combat aircraft, which is the trump card of the coalition's frontline air force. The wing headquarters is also stationed in Tsaritsyn! "Qian Tianfu smiled and inspected again!  Four symbols representing the flying brigade were painted around Rizin.

    "Look, Vasily Nikolayevich, we have more than 412 frontline combat aircraft that can be used in the Ukrainian campaign, which is three times the number of the German 4th Flying Wing in Ukraine opposite. Three against one. How can this be done?  It should be more than enough. If we can't win, I think the young men in the aviation team will have practiced in vain this year. Besides, we have practiced quite well in the air-ground coordination and night bombing courses in the Battle of Ufa. Now you can rest assured!  Right?" Jiang Hongyu said with a smile.

    "That's right! No matter how powerful the German Air Force is, if they fight in Ukraine, first of all, the number of aircraft will be three times theirs. Secondly, our fr-18 Excellent is the best fighter bomber of this era. In a real fight, it won't be three against one.  , I estimate that one can defeat three! If the commander-in-chief hadn¡¯t prevented the FR-18 Excellence from being exposed to the Germans too early, we would have killed the opponent¡¯s 4th Flying Wing!¡± Qian Tianfu!  After all, he is young and energetic, and said confidently from the side.

    "That's not the case. The German Air Force is the ace force on the Western Front. It beat the British and French air forces to a pulp. Although their Red Baron was unlucky and was shot down and killed in April, like Manfred  There are many ace pilots like Albrecht von Richthofen in the Luftwaffe.

    Therefore, we must not underestimate the enemy. The German Air Force's Albatross series biplane fighters are worse than our SE5, but the opponent's Fokker DR-1 triplane fighter is more maneuverable in combat than our SE5 and DH4, which are both SE5 and DH4.  In an aerial combat with the opponent's Fokker aircraft, you may suffer some losses. In the end, it is estimated that the Chinese FR-18 will have the final say!  Wang Geng warned with a slight frown.

    "Let me tell you, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, we should equip more Chinese FR-18 Excellent fighter jets as soon as possible. This kind of all-metal structure monoplane is simply unique in the world and can fly faster than all the fighter jets of the Allied Powers.  The bomb load is even higher than that of ordinary bombers, and its climbing speed and flight altitude are second to none. Why do we still equip and use those old British aircraft? I don¡¯t think this SE5 can fly the opponent¡¯s Fokker aircraft!¡±

    Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev obviously does not understand why the coalition continues to use the SE5 and DH4 after already possessing the Chinese FR-18 Excellent fighter jet, which is exclusively developed by China. Now look at it.  An aircraft that is already a bit outdated.

    Jiang Hongyu, the logistics commander here, explained helplessly after hearing this, "Your Excellency Peipei, the overall performance of the Chinese FR-18 fighter-bomber is very excellent, but our domestic aircraft manufacturing plants are now operating at full capacity, and the production capacity is  The bottleneck cannot be solved in a day or two, and as a multi-purpose combat aircraft, the training and training of Chinese fr-18 fighter pilots takes more time than the se5 and dh4. It is impossible for us to eliminate all frontline pilots in the short term.  se5 and dh4.¡±

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, actually you don't know that when we originally designed this FR-18 fighter-bomber, we focused more on ground attack. Otherwise, if it were designed as a pure fighter, the climbing and combat performance would still be good.  It has improved a lot, but it has been delayed in terms of time. After all, planes cannot come down to capture prisoners. The lethality of a fighter jet to ground troops is negligible compared to a bomber. You enjoy watching the low-altitude strafing, right?  A psychological threat, in terms of damage to ground personnel and vehicle fortifications, an accurately hit aerial bomb is much more powerful than an aircraft machine gun bullet!"

    In fact, Wang Geng still felt that he did not have enough time left for himself. Otherwise, he could have designed a fighter and a bomber instead of combining them into one and designing a fighter-bomber like the Chinese FR-18 to take into account both air combat and anti-aircraft warfare.  Ground bombing!Taking both into account will inevitably mean compromising and sacrificing part of the performance of air combat, because the weight of the aircraft will increase if the bomb load is increased.

    Here Qian Tianfu continued, "In addition to the three flying wings of the frontline air force, the garrison air force of the coalition air force also has two flying wings. The 4th wing is stationed in Samara and is mainly responsible for Bashkir autonomy.  The 5th Flying Wing is stationed in the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic, and mainly cooperates with Wu Peifu's Southern Front. "

    "We have used two-thirds of the coalition air force in the Volga Federation, from the east of the Ural Mountains to the Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China. We only have one 6th Air Wing stationed in such a vast area. In addition,  The 7th Flying Wing is stationed in Northeast China, and the 8th Flying Wing is stationed in Gyeonggi!

    If you give me another half year, our aviation fleet can at least double in size!  It's a pity that time waits for no one, and the Allied Powers can't stand their strength on the Western Front. We can only take advantage of the fact that winter has not come yet, and try our best to collide with Germany and Austria!  "

    Wang Geng felt a little lonely after saying this. Although the scale and production capacity of the Zhonghua Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Nanyuan, Beijing, have been repeatedly expanded, and the aviation school has also continued to recruit more pilot students, it is obviously impossible to achieve success overnight. China's industrial base and  The growth of the manufacturing industry takes time. You must know that in 1919, in the previous life, Germany handed over 16,000 aircraft and 27,000 aero engines to the Allies after its defeat. Compared with the manufacturing giants of industrialized countries like Germany, China¡¯s  The industrial base is really too weak.
