For the next two days, Zhou Zhihan taught the pilots how to fly the Martin Heavy Bomber every day.
The commander-in-chief, General Zhou Zhirou, said that the Martin heavy bombardment is an important weapon of the country, and there should be no mistakes when transferring from Nanjing Airport to Nanchang.
Zhou Zhihan was very humble. At first, he called every pilot a senior.
But Gao Zhihang and the others felt uncomfortable calling their seniors, and they felt that they were suddenly distanced from each other.
Seniors and seniors,
Very tacky.
Call names.
It's okay to call me brother.
You can't call me senior.
It's a bit embarrassing for our technology to be called a senior by you...
Fine.
Zhou Zhihan was helpless.
Just call me brother!
In the past two days, the pilots have been discussing the maneuvers used to make a good fly.
They are all experienced pilots and know their capabilities.
Everyone knows that they cannot meet the technical requirements of a top student and cannot fly the falling leaf maneuver at all. If they fly forcefully, the result will be a crash and death.
Facing pilots such as Gao Zhihang and Zhang Mufei, Zhou Zhihan not only respects them, but also respects them. They are all heroes of the country. Moreover, Zhou Zhihan is still a sergeant. In front of a group of senior pilots such as lieutenant colonel, major, captain, etc., he is too junior.
But Gao Zhihang and others don't think so.
The flying skills of the top students shocked them and allowed them to see realms they had never seen before, nor could they imagine, nor dare to imagine.
Chinese air force pilots humbly learn from Zhou Zhihan. From him, they can learn flying knowledge they have never seen before.
Zhou Zhihan almost ate and slept with Gao Zhihang and the others these days, and he gained a deep understanding of these heroes.
But this realization is painful.
Zhou Zhihan could not change the passive status quo of China's current war of resistance, nor could he save the lives of heroes like Gao Zhihang.
Fighters have to take off and need people to pilot them.
war.
It takes a lot of lives.
Therefore, every time Zhou Zhihan knew more about these pilots, his inner pain would increase by ten points.
The greatest uncertainty in life is not knowing when, where and how you or someone you know well will die.
But Zhou Zhihan knew when, where and in what tragic way that heroes like Gao Zhihang would leave.
Therefore, Zhou Zhihan must show enough respect to these heroes.
As for flying knowledge, if they ask, Zhou Zhihan will explain it in detail and patiently, and sometimes even fly into the sky to demonstrate.
After these few days of contact, Zhou Zhihan truly understood that the current training level of Chinese Air Force pilots is too low and too backward.
The flying knowledge and skills they learned were still only seven or eight years ago.
Because the country is weak and has no diplomacy, coupled with domestic poverty and backwardness, it is difficult for Chinese Air Force pilots to go out and communicate, learn, and discuss with pilots from aviation powers in the world.
The direct result of this is passive complacency.
The inability to communicate with pilots from various military powers to discuss and learn advanced flight technologies directly led to the lack of sources of innovation for Chinese pilots.
Coupled with the huge losses of the aircraft, the flying time of the fresh pilots is seriously insufficient, and the basic skills are not solid enough, so there is no innovation.
For example, the current method of using aerial shooting sights by Chinese pilots is still at the level of seven or eight years ago, and has long been left behind by the ever-changing European and American firing technology.
Zhou Zhihan worked day and night to explain to the pilots the shooting advance and the use of aircraft guns and machine guns:
The earliest aerial shooting sights were fixed sights.
The pilot can aim along the axis of the gun barrel through the sight's crosshair and ring.
For example, when the pilot finds that the enemy aircraft's wingspan projection accounts for half of the aiming circle, he can judge that the aircraft has entered the maximum effective shooting range...
Rings are also a useful tool for estimating lead times.
Within a certain distance, for a flying target moving at a constant speed, the advance angle required for shooting is related to the projection of the target...
When the nose cross angle or wing cross angle of the target aircraft is large, a larger advance angle needs to be established to shoot the target, which is called large deflection angle shooting...
Gao Zhihang and the others listened very carefully to the new knowledge brought by Zhou Zhihan. Many people took out their notes and recorded the most advanced technical concepts in detail and took them back to teach other pilots. These explanations were too advanced for them to A lot of improvement.
Zhou Zhihan wished he could teach everyone what he had learned, but due to limited time, he could only pick up some of the most important techniques and explain them to the pilots in the simplest and clearest way.
In order to prevent the Japanese from discovering this secret Sun Yat-Sen Ling Airport, in addition to practicing Martin heavy bombing flying over the airport, we also demonstrate the most critical technology, which is the use of aircraft cannons:
In order to use aircraft cannon to destroy enemy aircraft, the attack aircraft must meet requirements such as distance aiming conditions and shooting timing.
The maximum effective range of an aircraft gun depends on many factors, including ballistic parameters, aiming accuracy, fuze requirements, and the solidity of the projectile dispersion target.
Aerial shooting is roughly divided into two categories, one is tracking shooting and the other is rapid shooting.
When the center of the halo stays at the expected aiming point for longer than the stable aiming time, the tracking shooting method is used.
Rapid fire, also known as block fire.
Blocking is mainly applicable when the center of the circle can only pass through the expected aiming point, but cannot stay for a long time.
When tracking shooting, for the front sight, stable tracking is essential in order to accurately calculate the required advance angle.
Stable tracking can greatly improve the hit probability...
Due to too many unstable factors after the July 7th Incident, Martin Chongbang must leave as soon as possible.
On the third day, Gao Zhihang and others flew a Martin 139WC heavy bomber from the Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Temporary Airport and went to station in Zhoujiakou. It was far away from the attack range of Japanese aircraft and the pilots still needed to hone their heavy bombing skills.
No matter how good the heavy bomber is, it must be driven by an excellent pilot to exert its greatest power.
Watching Gao Zhihang and the others disappear from the horizon with a heavy bombardment in their Martin 139WC, Zhou Zhihan felt melancholy in his heart. He didn't know if there would be another time to see each other again after this farewell.
Today is July 12, 1937, and there is still a full month left before the tragic to great and great to tragic Battle of Songhu.
In this month, no one can change China's passive backwardness, and no one can change everyone's destiny.
Zhou Zhihan originally wanted to fly to Zhoujiakou with Gao Zhihang and others.
But Zhou Zhirou said privately that she would take him to Lushan in a few days to attend a meeting related to China's future life and death.
So Zhou Zhirou asked Zhou Zhihan to have a good rest at home these days. He had just returned home after a long journey from the United States. Before he stayed there for a day, he was working as an instructor day and night, teaching those veteran flying birds to fly the Martin Heavy Bomb. Now the task is completed. , it’s time to go home and spend time with your family.
Finally, Zhou Zhirou said sincerely: "In a short time, maybe we won't have time to have a few more stable meals with our families."
Others might not know the meaning of Zhou Zhirou's words, but Zhou Zhihan knew it, and he knew more than anyone else.
Zhou Zhihan felt that it was time to think more about the safety of his family.
After the Battle of Songhu starts on time on August 13, by the end of November or early December, the NJ defense battle that shocked the world will begin again.
Zhou Zhihan knew that no matter how he tried to persuade the people in nj to leave at this time, few people would believe it. Although the country was already in turmoil at this time, no one would believe that in four months, the Japanese would be in nj. Revealing a demonic face that shocked the world.
