"Li Hang, why are you running? Slow down!"
Li Hang hurriedly left the workshop and met Li Guidan and Mao Yingchu.
When the two saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly supported Li Hang.
"Captain, deputy captain, why are you here?" Li Hang was also a little surprised when he saw the arrival of the two men.
"Let's take a look at your airplane! During this period, besides giving lectures from time to time, you have been busy building airplanes here. I'm worried about you, so I came to take a look." Li Guidan said with a smile.
"Is the captain here to see the plane?" Li Hang immediately guessed the other party's purpose.
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Where is the plane? I see you are quite busy during this time." Li Guidan laughed and looked into the workshop curiously.
"Captain, don't worry, we're still making parts. It's not that fast. I haven't even finished the wood needed for the main structure of the fuselage and wing spars yet."
"I see you bought a lot of wood, didn't you? Why can't that wood be used?" Li Guidan was a little confused.
Mao Yingchu was also very curious, but he didn't understand these things.
"I bought pine and paulownia wood. The carpenter said that these two types of wood have low hardness and can be used for other non-load-bearing parts. However, if they are used for the main structure, they will break easily."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Guidan was a little surprised.
"Then what kind of wood are Captain Li going to buy?" Mao Yingchu asked curiously.
"I want to buy some beech and camphor wood to try. These two woods are relatively hard." Li Hang didn't hide it either.
Lao Maozi's Lag San uses pine wood and triangular wood.
The triangular lumber is made of several layers of birch strips soaked in a resin solution and hot-pressed. Although it is heavier, the material is tough and is very suitable for use in load-bearing parts.
Beech and camphor wood are obviously heavier, but currently Li Hang has no choice unless there is a chance to smuggle some birch wood from the Northeast controlled by the Japs.
"How long will it take for your airplane to take shape?" After hearing that the new airplane didn't even have a frame, Li Guidan and his wife had no intention of entering the workshop to see it.
"It should take about half a month. As long as the shelf is put up, it will be soon." Li Hang thought for a while and gave an approximate time.
Because his plane is not yet considering installing weapons, etc. He only needs to fly first. In this case, it will naturally not take too much time.
"Half a month? So soon? I'm actually looking forward to it."
Seeing Li Hang's serious expression, Li Guidan and Mao Yingchu were both looking forward to it. If a plane made of wood could really fly, who wouldn't look forward to it?
Even if you can’t use fighter planes, that’s still great!
"How long do you have for your legs?" The story about the plane was temporarily changed, and Li Guidan's attention shifted to Li Hang's legs.
As the most powerful pilot at present, if he cannot return to the unit quickly, it will have some adverse effects on the Fourth Group.
"The doctor said that he can walk slowly in a few days. It will take half a month to return to normal." Li Hang was also helpless.
Although no bones were injured and there was no need to break the muscles and bones for a hundred days, due to the deep wound and the cold weather, the wound healed slowly, which also affected the recovery of the injury.
"Half a month, that's not long. Everyone is waiting for you to come back. If you are not here, everyone is not sure. Hahaha!"
"Captain, are you kidding me? As long as you and the deputy captain are here, you are the backbone of the Fourth Brigade."
"Don't say these useless things. Just let you rest for a day or twenty. Return to the team early, otherwise I will worry about the decline in the combat effectiveness of the 23rd Squadron."
"yes!"
After patting Li Hang on the shoulder, Li Guidan left.
In the next few days, Li Hang basically gave lectures and built airplanes.
I bought some camphor wood and used it as the frame of the entire aircraft.
Chen Lu naturally came every day and brought some supplements or delicious food, but because the environment in the workshop was not good, Chen Lu did not stay too long.
But seeing Li Hang's leg injury recovering day by day, she was in a good mood.
Li Hang is in a good mood, at least he no longer needs crutches every day, but he can't exercise strenuously for fear of affecting the recovery of the wound.
On February 23, a big thing happened.
Li Hang only found out later.
But this big thing has something to do with him.
This day is the Red Army Day in the Soviet Union. In order to celebrate the Red Army Day, the China Aid Air Force definitely celebrated with a successful air raid, so they decided to choose a suitable bombing target.
Finally, Taipei Songshan Airport, which Li Hang had mentioned, was selected.
In addition, intelligence during this period showed that the Japanese Army's 96th Land Attack was gathering in large numbers at Taipei Songshan Airport. This place is across the sea, and the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force fighter jets is not enough to threaten the airport on the island. It is destined that the Japanese army will not have many fighter jets, or even none.
Even if there is one, it may be an old fighter jet.
But Songshan Airport was within the bombing range of Soviet bombers.
So this plan was carried out in secret. Even the Chinese ground crew and most of the pilots did not know about this operation.
This time the operation was somewhat different from the original time and space. The Japanese army had more aircraft at Taipei Songshan Airport, and the two bomber formations of the China Air Force that carried out the bombing mission successfully arrived in the sky above Taipei.
There is no doubt that the Japanese troops suffered heavy losses in this bombing.
Because we don’t know how many Japanese fighter planes were destroyed, the Air Force reported a battle result of 75. In fact, there were not that many, only 53, most of which were bombers.
"It's a pity that we weren't asked to escort this time. Otherwise, I really wanted to take a look over the treasure island." After hearing the news, everyone in the Fourth Battalion and others sighed, especially those in the 23rd Squadron.
"Zhou Zhikai, it seems that you don't understand the performance of our aircraft. If you want to escort us, does your aircraft have enough range?"
"Can't I just transfer through the airport in Fujian?" Zhou Zhikai retorted.
"How many intelligence personnel are there around the Japs? Didn't the Japs find out when you were transiting from Fujian?" Liang Tiancheng said speechlessly.
There is only one airport in Fujian at this time, located in Xiamen, but the plan for this airport has been abandoned.
Even if they don't give up, with the little devils' infiltration in Fujian, ten or twenty fighter planes suddenly appear at Xiamen Airport, and they can guess where their destination is.
This time the bombers flew directly without stopping in the middle, so they were able to fly over Taipei without the Japanese army noticing.
The Japanese military might detect a bomber taking off from a Chinese airport but not know where the target was. Even the Japanese army would immediately think it was airports in Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places, not Taipei Songshan Airport.
Zhou Zhikai, who was shocked by Liang Tiancheng, couldn't help pouting, and immediately looked at the wooden airplane that already had a prototype in the open space in front of the workshop.
