Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#352 - Dress Up

A certain war-preparedness airport in Shengjing, Air Regiment One.

"Comrades!" Regiment Commander Wei Yongguo shouted, and all 40 pilots of the regiment stood at attention!

"At ease!"

"Today, our Air Regiment One will usher in a historically important day." Wei Yongguo didn't waste time and went straight to the point. "Our Air Regiment One, as the first unit to enter the war in Korea, is keeping everyone away from the front lines today, not to let everyone come back to rest, but to accept a glorious and great new mission!"

"We will receive the first batch of J-5A jet fighters equipped with new radar and combat weapons in the history of the Republic to continue fighting in the blue sky and win more victories for the motherland! Do you all have confidence?"

"We go first, and we will win!"

"We go first, and we will win!"

Although there were only 40 people in the field, the heartfelt voices that burst out from the bottom of their hearts resounded through the clouds!

"Very good, next everyone should familiarize themselves with their new partners. Three days later, we will return to the front lines. On the way back, we will conduct actual combat training with our brother units. There are no rules for this training. If the comrades driving the J-5A cannot lock on to the opponent's tail with fire control radar within 10 minutes, they will be judged as a loss. The loser will switch units with the opponent. Is everyone clear?" Wei Yongguo's words shocked the officers and soldiers of Air Regiment One!

"Understood!" Although they were wary, everyone still answered loudly with confidence.

"Okay, I won't say much more, dismiss!" With the commander's order, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment quickly ran towards their new partner - a brand new J-5A jet fighter!

Air Regiment One has three flying battalions, each flying battalion has three flying squadrons, and each flying squadron has four fighter jets, forming two groups of leader and wingman combinations. Including the chief and deputy battalion commanders and the chief and deputy regimental commanders, the regiment has a total of 44 pilots on the regular roster, 6 reserve pilots, and 44 new J-5A jet fighters.

Under normal combat mode, Air Regiment One will form 22 combat teams to fight. This is the most important tactic since the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom Air Force. It was originally intended to let the experienced pilots lead the new ones, but after many actual battles, it was found that this tactic is very practical. In the big stage of the sky, no matter how many enemies there are, if you practice for a long time and form a tacit understanding, you can also pull the enemies apart to form a local advantage.

Just like Li Yunlong and his unit are army demonstration construction units, Air Regiment One, Air Regiment Two, and Air Regiment Three are the elite of the Air First Division directly descended from the Air Force's Divine Eagle Brigade. They have always flown the best fighters and fought the toughest battles.

Air Regiment One is the latest unit equipped with J-5 fighters. In previous battles, they have achieved brilliant results by shooting down hundreds of rogue eagle bombers!

"Detecting enemy fighters 20 kilometers in advance?" Wei Yongguo was also seeing a fighter with a display screen for the first time. After reading the instruction manual in one breath, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

In this way, they are equal to having an extra pair of eyes that can see a thousand miles away, and they can detect the enemy in advance.

Although the radar can distinguish between friend and foe in the air, after adding a new communication system, detecting a target will automatically transmit a radio signal for identification. If the other party does not respond to the friend or foe identification signal, the enemy's identification will be displayed on the display screen.

Looking at these new features, Wei Yongguo couldn't wait to fly into the sky and try them out.

However, like all the pilots under his command, each pilot is required to familiarize themselves with all the operations on the ground before being allowed to take to the sky!

So Wei Yongguo had to put away his eagerness and began to carefully study the newly added function buttons and related functions.

After half a day of ground study and demonstration, Wei Yongguo confirmed that he had learned the basic operations and took the lead in applying to the tower for takeoff.

Three days passed in a flash.

Every pilot in Air Regiment One was like eating honeybee droppings and大力丸, after three days of adaptive testing, they all figured out how to use the new equipment, and practiced new tactics, studying desperately.

They even turned off the friend or foe identification system and completed several unrestricted offensive and defensive exercises in the sky. Facing familiar opponents, they had to do their best to have a chance to achieve radar lock for a tail-biting attack.

The performance of jet fighters is completely different from that of propeller fighters. Biting the opponent's tail is really not an easy task. In the unrestricted exercises of Air Regiment One, only less than one-third of the pilots bit the opponent's tail.

At the same time, these pilots are also good at running away, and the probability of them being locked by their opponents is much lower than their peers!

In particular, Regiment Commander Wei Yongguo successfully bit his opponent's tail three times, and he has never been bitten once. After all, starting from the Divine Eagle Brigade, Comrade Lao Wei began to fly Mustang fighters, and has achieved 18 kills so far. He is one of the few ace pilots with more than double-digit kills among the old timers of the Divine Eagle Brigade!

So three days later, Wei Yongguo telegraphed his superiors that he was familiar with the new equipment and requested to return to the team!

Air First Division.

Chen Shusheng looked at the telegram from Wei Yongguo and said to his deputy Liu Zhiming, "Lao Liu, this guy Lao Wei is really impatient. He can't stay still after only three days. It's not okay to let them familiarize themselves with the new equipment more. How about it? Are you interested in leading a team to give him another lesson?"

Chen Shusheng and Liu Zhiming were the first people in the border area to drive tanks, but later they heard about fighter jets and pestered them to change their careers to aviation class, and eventually became the first generation of the Divine Eagle Brigade and showed their talents. The two partnered to become the first ace combination of the Divine Eagle Brigade with 5 kills each in a twin-engine formation.

With the expansion of the Divine Eagle Brigade, the two have gone from squadron leader and battalion commander to their current positions as the number one and number two leaders of the Air First Division, and their personal kills have also exceeded double digits.

The Divine Eagle Brigade does not pay attention to seniority, and everything is based on military achievements. Of course, it is not absolutely based on kill rankings, but if a regimental commander does not have 5 kills, then he will be embarrassed to sit on it.

"Okay, this kid is relying on shooting down a few rogue eagle bombers recently, and his personal ranking has risen. I think he's a bit cocky. Giving them a blow is also right. I'll take Air Regiment Two to the sky to see the bottom of the new equipment. It is said that this is a good thing. With revolutionary new equipment such as radar fire control and air-to-air missiles, the powerful combat power of jet fighters can be truly released. Although jet fighters are strong now, the combat method is not essentially different from propeller fighters. They still rely on maneuverability to gain the upper hand, but in terms of range and combat durability, they are dwarfed compared to the P51D. It is very useful as a short-range aerial interception and dogfight for quick battles, but I really haven't seen it as an overwhelming advantage fighter," Liu Zhiming said with a smile.
