Air Force!
Borneo has an air force!
As early as August last year, before going to France, Li Yian selected 200 people from the first batch of people from China to learn aviation, of which 180 people learned to fly, and only 20 people studied ground handling, because compared with Pilots are more important than ground crews. The former are everywhere in Italy and are extremely cheap.
But pilots, especially fighter pilots, are better off using their own.
It was also since then that nearly two hundred pilots in the Tunis base have been learning to fly there. Instructors from Italy taught them flying knowledge and air combat skills. Although Italy is very famous, those Italians who survived the attack by the British and American air forces Fighter pilots are definitely experts in air combat.
During World War II, the training cycle for pilots in various countries was 8-10 months. The training method of the Tunisian aviation training camp drew on the training methods of American fighter pilots. After 8 months of training, 350-400 flights were performed. Only after hours of training can one enter a combat duty position.
In fact, they have not yet entered combat duty. Except for their last voyage to Bangkok, they have basically been training, training, and training again.
Now it’s time to let these eagles out of their cages!
……
A four-plane formation composed of FW190 aircraft flew over the airport after completing training. During the high-speed descent, this four-machine formation suddenly turned into two two-machine formations, and spread out to the left and right like rapidly blooming flowers.
“It’s so beautiful!” The pilot beside the runway couldn’t help but admire.
Accompanied by the powerful roar of the engines, several FW190 fighter jets flew past the sky, and the powerful whirlwind emitted by the propellers almost blew off people's hats.
“These guys...really, they must be going crazy...”
Wearing an American uniform, Hartman, the super ace pilot, looked at the flying airplanes in the sky. FW190, with a smile on his face, but a flash of loss flashed in his eyes. After all, these aircraft will always exchange for his memories of the past. His youth and his glory have all gone with the wind.
What about these FW190s?
Once belonged to the Third Reich, but now it belongs to the Borneo Air Force - their search team found thousands of FW190s at German airports. For the Allied Air Force, they naturally do not care about these rags. , but for the Borneo Air Force, these aircraft are not junk, but the best aircraft.
The most important thing is no money.
Although the P51 Mustang provided by the Lend-Lease Act has better performance, it costs nearly $60,000!
But FW190...the quantity is large and the amount is sufficient, and it’s free of charge!
Who doesn’t like whoring for free?
And it is a versatile little expert in the air. It can be used to carry out ground attacks and air combat. Although its performance is slightly inferior to the P51D, it is not much different.
So the FW190 naturally became the main aircraft of the Borneo Air Force, so in this sea and air, hundreds of FW190s were flying and training here. However, as the training continued, , the pilots have been eager to fight. Unlike Hartmann, Rudel and other instructors from Germany and Italy who have experienced millions of battles, these Eagles who have never been on the battlefield are eager to fight. Eager to become a super ace in the air like their commander.
Suddenly, a siren sounded on the airport. At the call of the siren, the pilots were stunned for a moment, and then quickly gathered. As for the instructors, they also jumped into the jeep and rushed to the battle. room.
Soon everyone arrived at the war room. In the war room, the commander announced an order - an air strike against the Japanese troops in Lahad Datu and Dawan in the southeast.
As soon as the order was given, the pilots shouted excitedly.
“Long live!”
The weather is great, cloudless, and it is a weather suitable for fighting.
With the roar of engines, FW190 fighter jets began to taxi on the runway. Wu Ming taxied the plane to the runway, with the engine roaring. With more than 400 hours of flight experience, he pushed the throttle lever to the "high speed" position, and the engine immediately provided sufficient horsepower.
Take off!
Different from past flights, today he carried a 500kg bomb in the belly of the aircraft and two 250kg bombs under the wings. The one-ton ammunition made the aircraft look a bit clumsy, but they were still fast. They formed a formation in the air and then flew toward the southeast.
Under the wing is a piece of green, green rainforest, green mountains, rainforest, meadows... There are almost no targets in sight, and the endless green spreads along the horizon. All that can be seen is green!
However, what they are searching for is the enemy's positions and troops. According to aerial reconnaissance information, the Japanese camp was in the northwest corner of the city.
More than an hour later, Lahad Datu, a small seaside town located on the coast of Celebes, came into view. A group of attack aircraft flying from the height of the treetops suddenly broke into the sight of the Japanese army, almost touching the treetops.
Along with the roar of the engine, when the plane appeared, the Japanese soldiers on the ground all looked at the plane in the sky with a look of fear.
“It’s now!”
Wu Ming shouted and pressed the bomb button at the same time,
A silver-white bomb flew out like this. The Japs on the ground almost watched helplessly as the two-meter-long silvery-white bomb was dropped from under the belly of the aircraft. It swayed slightly in the air.
“Air strike!”
The Japanese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, trying to avoid the ensuing explosion.
But today's bomb was different from the past. The moment the bomb hit the ground, it seemed to be exploded.
"Poof!"
With a somewhat silent explosion, a long orange-red fire dragon appeared. It was not flaky, but moved forward like a fire dragon. It was moving, with thousands of degrees of heat and flames tens of meters high, instantly devouring everything around it.
After the lead aircraft dropped the first napalm bomb, the first wave of 36 FW190s dropped 500 kilograms of napalm bombs one after another at the Japanese military camp.
This napalm bomb is the first military equipment produced in Borneo. It is made of gasoline as the charge and aluminum salts of naphthenic acid and palmitic acid. It can be mixed with gasoline to form a colloidal fuel. The shell is made of thin Made of iron sheet, the cost is less than 10% of similar high-explosive bombs, but its power is absolutely amazing - there is almost no blind spot within the burning range.
When the napalm bomb exploded, although it only burned for a few seconds, there was a burst of rising black smoke. Everything seemed to be over. But the moment the detonator detonated, the glue-like napalm turned into thousands of tongues of fire and flew out. The glue falling from the sky splashed on the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, as thick and durable as lard ointment. burn.
In an instant, the flames ignited everything. In the burning military camp, Japanese soldiers whose bodies were burning with flames and howling in pain could be seen outside.
The Japanese soldiers who turned into burning men tried to slap their burning bodies with their hands, but the fire got bigger and bigger. As they slapped, the gelatinous ointment on their bodies was thrown everywhere. These ignited Japanese soldiers instinctively ran towards their uninjured comrades. When they tried to ask for help, they turned into moving fire sources, throwing burning glue onto others, causing a secondary killing effect. .
Those Japanese soldiers who tried to roll on the ground to extinguish the fire were covered in fire. Even because of their rolling, the burnt skin fell off like a snake shedding its skin. In an instant, there were more people on the ground. A bloody man with blood all over his body and his skin peeling off. The bloody man was breathing heavily, and his eyes without eyelids were turning "beep".
For a time, the army camp in Lahad Datu was full of panicked Japanese soldiers running around to avoid their comrades who had turned into firemen and the bombing from the air. However, the bombing did not stop. After one wave of bombing, the second round of bombing started again. But in just the blink of an eye, Lahad Datu has turned into a sea of fire...
