At this time, dozens of fighter planes were neatly parked on the spacious apron.
After several years of resistance, the original Eagle-type bi-wing fighters in the Northwest had been gradually discontinued.
It has been reduced to a second-line fighter because Northwest's aircraft production capacity is still insufficient.
And against Japanese bombers, ground troops can still play a role.
So it has not been completely eliminated.
However, here at Luoyang Airport, there are all Feilong series fighters.
At present, the improved model of Feilong has reached Feilong 5 However, several other aircraft were extremely conspicuous among the clean-looking Dragon fleet.
Not far from the airport, something like a large iron pot was slowly rotating toward the sky.
Together with the Feilong fighter planes at the airport, they guard the safety of Luoyang.
In fact, after the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in its initial air raids on several core airports in the northwest, the Japanese army also restrained itself a lot, but the scale of the air raids later became larger and larger.
The detection distance of the radar equipped by the Northwest Air Force has given the Northwest Aviation Department considerable warning time.
However, the improved radar is obviously not the protagonist today, but two distinctly different models that stand out among the flying dragon fighters.
"There is one post every five steps, and one sentry every ten steps.
The security in Luoyang is really tight."
Mr.
Zhou came all the way by car and praised.
"There is no way.
The intelligence agencies of the Japs are almost all-pervasive.
It is estimated that even with radar, they have obtained some information.
However, they know that radar is one thing, but if they rely on themselves to research the technology, they will not be able to develop one in just a few years.
Come on.
Unless there is a genius like Nicot Tesla in Japan."
Jiang Li snorted.
After all, Mr.
Zhou is not in the military, he is just an outpost.
"I heard that Japanese spies also sneaked into Lanzhou University and almost came into contact with Professor Nikolai.
Fortunately, they were stopped.
If the Japanese get this technology, our good days will probably come to an end.
The better the security, the better.
Yes."
The leader nodded with deep understanding.
The reason why the Northwest Air Force was able to block the numerically superior Japanese army with its inferior force was that, in addition to the fact that the Dragon series fighters stabilized the performance of the Japanese fighter planes, which were mainly twin-tank aircraft, these radars were also used in the Northwest Air Force.
The Air Force also plays an irreplaceable role in its flexible defense.
Leaders who have personally observed several large-scale military exercises of the Northwest Army and who are familiar with the current warfare of the Northwest Army also attach great importance to the development of aircraft.
"Lanzhou is relatively safe, but the situation in the Central Plains is different.
The Japanese always want to know the situation of the Central Plains Field Corps.
Last year, we added a group army to the Corps.
Within a few days, the Japanese People know.
Our counterintelligence work is still not optimistic."
With the passage of time, the pace of Japanese army expansion has continued to accelerate.
Since 1939, the number of troops in China has gradually exceeded one million.
By this year, the number of troops has been increased to about 1.1 million.
The number of the Kwantung Army has been increasing since Nomenkan. , is also rapidly expanding its army.
The Northwest Army has been holding up the Pinghan Road.
In order to cope with the gradually strengthening Japanese offensive, the Central Plains Field Army gradually increased its strength to nearly 800,000 people.

Including 5 group armies, as well as some units directly under the corps.
It is precisely because of the role of the Central Plains Field Corps that Japan, which regards the Northwest Army as a thorn in its side, naturally wants to find out the true strength of the Northwest Army.
"Let's start the test flight.
We have been preparing for such a long time, so don't let people down."
After the car arrived at the airport, Jiang Li said directly to the person in charge of the airport.
The first one to take off was the Dragon 5 fighter plane, followed closely by two slightly larger planes.
However, the last two planes to take off, not to mention the leader and Mr.
Zhou, even some staff at the airport, saw that those two planes were not The Helix Award aircraft couldn't help but cast surprised glances.
If it weren't for the strict rules at the airport, many people would have already gathered around to watch these two unique aircraft.
Accompanied by a movement that was far louder than the roar of ordinary propeller planes, two relatively strange-looking aircraft successfully took off after crossing the long runway.
"Okay" In a corner of the airport, two technicians and several reserve pilots clenched their fists after seeing this scene.
Jiang Li raised the telescope in a pretentious manner and watched several planes taking off one after another, rushing towards the western airspace.
The last two planes that took off without propellers, although they had a relatively ugly appearance, were catching up with the two planes in front of them at an astonishing speed.
Rolling, boosting, and taking off are all normal.
Lu Wenxiang, the pilot flying the Qianlong 3 experimental aircraft, breathed a sigh of relief.
As a type of aircraft that Northwest has been experimenting with for the past few years, pilots from more than one squadron have been flown on board this jet-powered aircraft.
Lu Wenxiang considers himself one of the luckier ones.
He made two successful forced landings and one successful parachute jump.
He is hailed by the aviation team as the lucky star in the Northwest aviation community.
It was precisely because of his good luck and solid flying skills that he drove Qianlong 3 to Luoyang Airport this time to demonstrate their flying skills to Jiang Li, who is known as the father of the Northwest Air Force.
Even though the Northwest had many excellent aircraft designers at this time, such well-known designers as Wang Zhu, Wang Xiaofeng, and Zhu Jiaren.
From their hands came out the Dragon series fighter jets, as well as the Dragon aircraft that flew together this time.
Even though there were Gao Zhihang, a chief instructor and commander of the Northwest Air Force who had extremely strict requirements at the beginning, it was Jiang Li, who was hailed as the father of the Northwest Air Force, who had never operated or designed an aircraft.
This is also unanimously agreed upon by senior commanders such as Gao Zhihang, Chen Honglu, and Nie Yuheng, and there is no dispute.
These air force heroes who have gone through hardships all know that the Northwest Air Force was established by Jiang Li from the blank northwest.
And in just a few years, it grew to the point where it could compete with the Japanese army.
It has fulfilled the dream of all pilots since joining the flying world.
Being able to personally demonstrate the new aircraft to Jiang Li is a great honor for members of the Northwest Air Force.
But soon, what almost suffocated Lu Wenxiang was that the two engines exploded at the same time, and what was even more fatal was that they were thousands of meters high in the sky.
The sudden loss of propulsion caused the aircraft's speed instrument panel to slide rapidly.
The nose of the plane also began to sink, and the plane was getting closer to the ground.
"Damn it, turn off the engine at this time."
For a moment, Lu Wenxiang's mind went blank, and then countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
At the critical moment, Lu Wenxiang showed an extremely outstanding mental ability.
Being able to serve as one of the most important test pilots of Qianlong 3 is not just about having better luck than ordinary people.
Climb the rudder and press the lever, cutting off the oil circuit of the turbine engine at the same time.
Push the throttle gently.
When he saw the restored power on the dashboard, Lu Wenxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
The engine was back to normal, and he was once again on the verge of death.
At this time, the plane was less than 100 meters above the ground.
However, the plane that had regained its power lifted its nose and pulled it up again.
"It's really dangerous.
It can't be some kind of stunt show, right?
This kind of show doesn't have any difficult flying moves, so it's not exciting.
What are the origins of these two types of aircraft?"

The leader was also magnanimous.
He couldn't see the reason and directly put down the telescope.
Asked Jiang Li next to him.
"It wasn't a performance, it was a plane malfunction.
Fortunately, it was solved."
When Jiang Li saw the plane descending just now, he felt a little sweat in his heart.
From the time when the Japanese army launched the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Northwest China had produced the most primitive jet aircraft.
It took another three years.
After countless improvements, the Qianlong 3 in front of us has become more streamlined and the model has become more streamlined.
The one three years ago was also slightly larger.
The failure rate is relatively lower than before, but more than a dozen pilots were involved in the flight, and the losses were heavy.
Even under such circumstances, a mistake was almost made this time, which shows how difficult it is to develop jet aircraft in this era.
In real terms, Northwest has been on the Jets for almost five years.
"I am also a layman when it comes to these aircraft.
Specialized skills should be taught by specialized talents."
Jiang Li waved to Xiong Dazhen, who had some cold sweat on his forehead in the distance.
Xiong Dazhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his legs became weak, and he almost sat down on the ground losing his composure.
After seeing Jiang Li saying hello, he trotted forward.
"Don't put too much pressure on.
As for those pilots who sacrificed their lives for the country, although it makes people sigh, the soldiers on the front line are fighting against the Japanese army.
This is the battlefield.
You are in the rear, providing enough good weapons for the soldiers on the front line, and the same It is also on the invisible battlefield.
Wherever there is a battlefield, there are people who have sacrificed their lives.
Your research institute does not seek anything else but a clear conscience, in order to reduce flying.
I understand the guilt of losing a pilot because of his own carelessness.
On the battlefield, my subordinates often have to die because of a combat target. , also stick to their posts.
As a commander, I understand the self-blame and guilt I feel when I see my troops dying in my own hands."
Jiang Li comforted Xiong Dazhen with a few words.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the high-spirited student studying abroad stood in front of him now, and white hair began to appear on his temples, which showed that his life had not been easy in the past few years.
Every inch of progress made by the Republic of China is due to the blood of frontline soldiers and the hard work and pain of countless people at the rear.
"Yes, Commander."
Xiong Dazhen's eyes turned red and he lowered his head hurriedly, fearing that others would see the tears falling from his eyes.
As the director of the Jet Aircraft Research Laboratory, few people can imagine that every pilot has lost his temper because of their designs. , and personally participated in the manufacturing of the aircraft and died.
The bloody fact brings psychological torture to people.
"Let's introduce these two new aircraft to the leader and Mr.
Zhou."
"Yes.
The first thing I want to introduce is the Tenglong fighter jets newly produced in Northwest China.
They are the two propeller aircraft with a slightly darker color.
They were designed by Wang Xiaofeng, the master of aircraft design.
Since the Tenglong fighter jets still have considerable room for improvement, Professor Wang said I don’t have much time to spare, and I’m still working overtime in the laboratory, so it’s up to me to introduce this new aircraft.”
"The Tenglong fighter was previously powered by the Xiong A70 supercharged engine designed by the Northwest Engine Factory.
It has excellent advantages at low altitudes.
At low altitude speed, it is enough to compete with the Japanese 96 Ship Battle and even 97 Ship Battle biplanes.
However, due to the excellent performance of the Feilong series fighters, it has risen.

After reaching high altitudes, the engine's output power dropped very quickly, making its high-altitude combat performance poor.
The Tamron fighter did not have much value for mass production, so it was shelved until it was later purchased from the British Rolls-Royce Company.
A large number of orders for Feilong series engines were received.
At the same time, Professor Wang passed certain orders.
Due to the relationship, an engine sample was customized from Rolls-Royce.
The current Merlin engine V1770 is much better than the original Xiong A70 engine designed and produced by Northwest, and it also has extremely high performance above 15,000 feet.
Therefore, the Tamron fighter has excellent power output.
The performance has begun to improve significantly, especially in high-altitude combat.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it has improved by leaps and bounds.
After nearly half a year of testing, some of the common mechanical failures have been basically eliminated.
The top flight speed has reached 546 kilometers per hour, and there is huge room for improvement.”
"According to the speculations of several of our designers, within the next ten years, the world will be dominated by single-wing propeller aircraft.
The German 109 and the British Spitfire have become the mainstream fighters in Europe, with excellent performance.
The Northwest Flying Dragon The series of fighter planes have also been able to shoot down a considerable number of Japanese planes despite their obvious numerical disadvantage, maintaining air superiority and not losing it to the enemy.
According to information provided by foreign intelligence agencies, the Japanese army should also be testing its own monoplanes.
As more and more monoplanes are put into service in the future, it is likely that the performance of the Feilong series of monoplanes will no longer be the same as before. advantage over the Japanese military.
Therefore, as early as when the Feilong fighter was put into service, Northwest had been developing another fighter that could complement the Feilong series of fighters."
"Now the Tenglong fighter has successfully won in several projects.
After the modification of the Merlin engine, the biggest advantage of the Tenglong fighter compared with the Feilong series fighters is its reasonable internal equipment layout, which greatly reduces its aerodynamic resistance. .
Guaranteed to have a similar take-off weight and similar fuselage to the Feilong fighter.
Under such circumstances, the increased fuel tank volume makes the Tenglong 1 fighter's biggest advantage over the Feilong, successfully increasing its range to 1,330 kilometers, changing the current situation in various countries where the Northwest Air Force's combat aircraft are unable to escort bombers with such ranges.
Among all kinds of fighters, they are extremely rare
