These 48 aircraft belong to the J-5 fighter jets of the Red Star Air Force. They adopt a new method of single-seat single-engine, nose intake, and swept-back single-wing layout. They use Hualanguo's latest turbojet 5 centrifugal afterburning turbojet engine.The maximum level flight speed of the aircraft can reach 1145 kilometers per hour, and the practical ceiling exceeds 16000 meters, which can be described as invincible in today's battlefield.In terms of weapons, it has a new air-four 37mm cannon and two 2mm air-three cannons, and two 20kg bombs can be mounted under the wings.

This fighter jet is different from all traditional fighter jets, because it uses a jet engine, which allows it to cross the insurmountable speed limit of the propeller and become the king of the air today.

In fact, as early as ten years ago, Hualanguo developed a jet fighter, but because of its unsatisfactory performance, Zhao Shouhong never agreed to hand it over to the military.Anyway, the Hanxing Group Company has money, and Zhao Shouhong is willing to spend money on this aspect, so he invested a lot of money, and after three redesigns, he successfully developed this fighter that entered active service.

Because jet fighter jets have never been used before, the upper echelons of the Air Force felt that it was prudent to deploy a group of test pilots to drive these aircraft with relatively high operational difficulty and go to the front line for testing.If these fighters can really use the advantages of paper data to actual combat, the Air Force will consider a comprehensive refit.

As a result, this temporarily formed Red Star Air Force encountered a massive attack from the Teutonic Air Force as soon as it arrived at the front line.I also blame Marshal Catherine for being unlucky. His plan was originally flawless, but he encountered such an unexpected situation.When 48 fighter jets rushed into the enemy's position, the Teutonic offensive had actually collapsed.

The Teutonic Air Force, caught off guard, shot down more than 10 fighters in just 300 minutes, and none of the J-5 fighters were injured.Such a large gap caused the morale of the Teutonic army to drop to the bottom, and eventually caused a total defeat.The Teutonic fighters were fast enough and barely able to get away with low-altitude performance, while the slow-moving and cumbersome bombers suffered.

The pilots of the J-5 and J-4 fighters fought bravely and chased the Teutonic army all the way, and did not return until they were about to arrive at the opponent's airport.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In this battle, the Hualan Army shot down more than 230 Teutonic fighters and the same number of bombers at the cost of losing [-] fighters, which severely damaged the Teutonic Front Air Force, but their bombing mission was not completed at all.

The returning Teutonic Army pilots all wrote about this weird fighter in their reports, and described its combat effectiveness as extremely terrifying. Many people called it the Silver Devil.Since then, the nickname of J-5 has spread like wildfire, and it has almost become the official nickname of the Teutonic Air Force.

In the face of this unknown new type of aircraft, the news is not certain, Marshal Catherine could have not reported it.However, he is a very responsible soldier. In the combat report, Marshal Catherine truthfully wrote down the feelings of the fighter pilots, and at the same time hoped that the military would pay attention to and speed up the research on the solution.For this defeat, Catherine also did not have any concealment, but bravely took responsibility and expressed her willingness to resign and apologize.

This very famous report of later generations was quickly passed on to Hissler. It seems that Marshal Catherine sent the combat report. Hissler laughed: "Is there such a powerful aircraft? Why have I never heard of it before? Could it be It fell from the sky."

Goering moved his fat body and said: "Probably because the loss is too serious, he wants to shirk his responsibility." Marshal Catherine is Hissler's confidant. I have sand in my air force, so I'm going to be side-firing whenever I get a chance.

Hissler naturally knew the temper of his subordinate, but his belief in using his cronies to control the armed forces would not be shaken.Pretending not to care, he waved Hissler and said: "It's a bit shameful to ask the chief of staff of the Air Force to go to the front in person. I think it's good. Let Admiral Taylor take over command of the air force from him. The chief of staff should go back to the staff to continue. Command the battle."

Originally, Hissler planned to make Marshal Catherine a meritorious service this time, so he made him the deputy commander of the Air Force to share Goering's rights.Unexpectedly, stealing a chicken would not result in a loss of money, but instead left a stain on Marshal Catherine. As for the General Taylor he said was apparently promoted by Goering, he was actually a close friend of Hissler.In this way, he not only appeased Goering, but also sent his cronies to the front line to perform meritorious service, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Goering was very satisfied with Hissler's approach. He thought it was a gesture made by the other party to appease him, and he was naturally very happy.Hissler added: "The head coach has changed, and the air force has to be replenished. You have to pay close attention to this matter. I think the Seventh Air Force will be deployed from the west to reinforce the Ural front, and wait until the new troops are formed. Putting it to the west, the White Eagle Kingdom has no time to deal with us now, so it doesn't matter if there is some gap there."

"That's fine." Goring nodded.

"However, the Hualan Air Force's new fighter jets should not come out of nowhere. You'd better hurry up and develop the new fighter jets, otherwise we will easily suffer losses." Hissler said.

"There is no problem with this. Messerschmitt's new fighter jet is almost finished. I believe it can let the enemy have a taste of our power." Goering's eyes flashed brightly. The degree of love is unimaginable.

At this time in Hualan, the performance of the J-5 fighter jets caused a sensation among the top military officials. Gao Zhihang personally wrote an application letter, asking the Congress to allocate funds to popularize this new fighter jet. Adapt to new aircraft.

Today is a wartime system, and everything is made way for war. President Xie Mingjue agreed to this proposal without saying a word.The factories under Fengru Design Bureau began to expand their workshops. The state invested 3000 million Chinese yuan to build [-] production lines for simultaneous production. At the same time, it plans to build [-] production lines in the second phase.

Of course, it is wartime now, and it is impossible to wait for the troops to refit. All J-4 fighters are still in production, and the two models are parallel until the J-5 fighter can meet the requirements.In addition to the production line, Ningyuan Iron and Steel Works continued to expand the smelting of special metals to provide sufficient materials for fighter jets.Factories under Aitrich Dynamics Laboratories have also been asked to speed up the production of jet engines, and even the petrochemical plant in the Tyumen oil field has been asked to expand the production of special aviation kerosene.

When a subversive model is put into actual combat, a series of units must be mobilized. Fortunately, Hualan is a country with a complete range of industries, rich types of resources, and a huge output. Otherwise, even if it has a good design, it will be difficult to meet the requirements. .

The original production line for the trial operation of the J-5 fighter jets was quickly ramped up to provide a steady stream of new fighter jets at a rate of 25 per month.With a swipe of his pen, Xie Mingjue dispatched all these fighter jets to the western battlefield in order to suppress the Teutonic Air Force.

A group of elite pilots were quickly transferred in the country to be familiar with this new type of aircraft.Because the performance of jet fighters is very different from that of propeller fighters, and many flying habits are even fatal, so even these flying masters must start practicing again.

Before the trainer model is developed, the aviation school can only adopt a compromise method, using two disposable rocket engines for the J-4B two-seat trainer to simulate the combat flight mode of a jet fighter.However, this method is somewhat dangerous, especially when it is the first time to get on the plane, and it still cannot guarantee the safety of the pilot.

For this problem, Zhao Shouhong personally invested in the research. He summoned a large number of mechanical technicians to tackle the problem, and it only took a week to come up with the research results.Using mechanical transmission simulation, computer-operated simulation cockpits came out soon.

Using a large amount of flight data from the flight test institute, Zhao Shouhong personally set up the flight software. The entire cockpit uses Hualanguo's latest 21-inch flat-screen TV as the cockpit field of view of the simulator, and uses the new 586 chip as the core. Arbitrary flight operations.After the test pilots of the J-5 fighter jets tested, they said that apart from the sense of oppressive overload, the cockpit has a very high degree of realism.

Using this set of equipment, Hualanguo was able to start mass training of jet fighter pilots.These jet pilots are not only from the frontline elites, but also many high-achieving aviation school students are transferred here. The number of jet fighter pilots in Hualan Kingdom is increasing at an extremely fast rate.

When the Hualan Kingdom began vigorously training new pilots, the Teutonic Kingdom did not slow down its offensive.Hessler knew that the national power of Hualan Kingdom was only about Zhongbo compared to White Eagle Kingdom and Teutonic Kingdom, but it was indeed far superior to the two countries in terms of heavy industry. The production capacity of the military industry can also reach about 70% of the combined military industry of the two countries.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

If you want to defeat such a terrifying enemy, the best way is to make a quick decision. Once it is delayed for a long time, the opponent's military production capacity will only become stronger and stronger.It is precisely because of this consideration that Hissler tried his best to deploy air force from all over the coast of the Ocean of Storms to the Urals for front-line support.Now that the Saar Empire has been destroyed and its country is accepted by the Teutonic Kingdom as a whole, even if the White Eagle Kingdom wants to play tricks, it has no strategic fulcrum, so Hissler is not worried about the western coastline.

The two sides fought fiercely on the front line of the Urals. However, with the existence of the Red Star Air Force, the Teutonic State ended in failure every time.The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted for two months. The Teutonic country lost as many as [-] fighters, while the other side only had two or two hundred. At the same time, more and more Teutonic pilots responded to their superiors and discovered this The ghostly and swift aircraft made the Teutonic Army Supreme Command have to pay attention.Air Force Commander Marshal Goering quickly put forward requests to various aircraft manufacturers to produce new fighter jets that can counter this weird aircraft.

Messerschmitt quickly came up with his own design, using a triangular nose, straight wings and an external ramjet engine. This is the very famous ME262 fighter of the Teutonic Army in later generations.In fact, jet engines have already been researched worldwide, but it is difficult to apply them in practice because of their immaturity in the early stage.

Messerschmitt, who returned from Hualan Kingdom, noticed this kind of engine very early, and conducted a secret test, but because the quality of the engine was not good enough and the power was too small, it was always difficult to succeed.After learning that Hualanguo had added jet fighters to active duty, he was forced to come up with his unsatisfactory work.

The ME262 fighter is a light aircraft with an all-metal semi-monocoque structure. The streamlined fuselage has a triangular section. The nose is equipped with four 4mm cannons and a camera gun.The semi-bubble canopy is in the middle of the fuselage and can be opened to the right.

The front windshield glass is 90 mm thick, and the seat back is covered with 15 mm steel plates, both of which are bulletproof. The EZ-42 gyro sight can be used for gun and rocket launch aiming.The nearly triangular tail intersects at the tail in a cross shape. The nacelles of the two axial-flow turbojet engines are installed directly under the swept-back lower monoplane, and the front three-point landing gear can be retracted into the aircraft.

As a new type of power plant, the Me262 uses Junkers Yumo 109-004 engine, which has a static thrust of 850 kg at sea level, a fuel consumption of 1650 kg per hour, a dead weight of 720 kg, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.181, and a refurbishment life of 50 hours.Although this engine has a rough process and a high failure rate, it is still one of the most successful models of early air jet engines.

Under the visit of Hissler and Goering, this aircraft conducted a test flight.Hissler and Göring admired the aircraft and demanded that it be put into mass production immediately.

Compared with the smooth production of ME262, another jet fighter will be much more bumpy.A team led by Hans Multhoff at Heinkel started relatively late in their research. They used the shape of the J-5 fighter jet described by the pilots for imitation, but it turns out that imitation based on hearsay is a very wrong things.

After the new TA183 fighter jet began to fly, bad luck followed, and three prototypes crashed one after another, which forced the research team to stop.After careful study, Hans discovered that it was because the jet engines of the Teutonic country were not qualified, with low power and unstable quality, which caused frequent surges.There are many advantages to imitating the nose intake method adopted by the J-5 fighter jets, but because the intake duct and the engine run through the entire aircraft, the intake duct is too long and the oxygen supply is insufficient. As a result, it is difficult for the engine to perform efficiently.

In order to solve this problem, the only way for Hans was to shorten the fuselage.However, shortening the fuselage caused the distance between the wing and the horizontal tail to be too close, which made the handling performance extremely poor. Therefore, Hans made another modification. After placing the horizontal tail on the top of the vertical tail, the vertical tail was extended a lot to the rear.

As a result, after the TA183 was manufactured, it became an ugly monster with a short fuselage and a super long tail. Fortunately, the air intake from the nose was used to reduce the resistance of the aircraft, so the maximum level flight speed of the TA183 fighter could reach 900 kilometers per hour. , and the ME262 fighter jet can only reach a maximum level flight speed of 870 kilometers per hour because of the two external engines with great wind resistance, even so it is faster than all propeller aircraft.

Although there are many problems, there is an urgent need for jet fighters on the battlefield, so Hissler also issued an order to manufacture TA183 fighter jets.More than 30 ME262 and seventeen TA183 fighters manufactured soon were sent to the Ural battlefield, and a real jet fighter war began.

After several months of preparation, the number of J-5 fighter jets of the Hualan Air Force has exceeded one hundred, and the training of pilots is faster, and there are already more than 700 people.When the jet fighters of both sides want to see each other on the battlefield, both sides seem a little uncomfortable in the fierce fighting, because the speed is too fast, which greatly reduces the time for the pilots to aim.

The Hualan army is okay, because they are equipped with long-barreled machine guns, and the range is much farther than the opponent, while the short-barreled machine guns and machine guns of the Teutonic army are difficult to aim. Even if they can successfully enter the range by biting their tails, They also have to execute the tail-biting shot within two seconds and disengage immediately, or the two sides will collide.

The so-called details determine success or failure. Because of the lack of experience of the Teutonic designers, the more than 50 fighters that entered the battle for the first time were all destroyed within a few days. The result was only two J-5 fighters and eleven J-4 fighters.

The Teutonic state quickly improved the fighter jets, reinstalling long-barreled cannons and adjusting the counterweight, while the Hualan state also felt the crisis and accelerated the production speed of the J-5 fighter jets. At the same time, Zhao Shouhong's secret A new anti-aircraft weapon was brought to the front line.

When the time entered July 1943, the first large-scale jet fighter air battle in the history of world war was about to kick off.

After several months of replenishment, the number of jet fighters in the Teutonic state has reached 310, and because Hualan State has begun to replenish the J-5 fighter jets to the New World battlefield, there are only 270 jet fighters on the Ural defense line at this time. .

Knowing from the intelligence department that his own jet fighters have gained the upper hand in numbers, Hissler knew that he could not wait any longer, and he had to attack decisively.

After several years of wars, all countries have understood the importance of air supremacy, and they all know that without air supremacy, not only the navy, but also the army will find it difficult to advance.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

If a land offensive does not have air supremacy, the ground troops launching the attack will only become the target of the opponent's bombers. Therefore, launching a ground attack and first gaining air supremacy has become a combat method recognized by all countries.

It was for this reason that Hissler asked Goering to attack immediately.Admiral Taylor, who was in charge of the air force at the front, immediately ordered the jet fighters to attack first.Because of the last incident, the Teutonic Army knew that the opponent's early warning distance was extremely far away, and it was difficult for them to form an effective sneak attack, so this time they simply launched an offensive.The jet fighters quickly took off and assembled, and flew towards the Hualan army.

This kind of combat method has a strong sense of challenge, so the Hualan Air Force immediately called for a fight.The J-5 fighter jets led by Le Yiqin and Gao Mingjiu took off to meet the enemy.Jet fighters are different from propeller fighters, because they are too fast, and it is difficult for commanders in the air to command too many fighters. Therefore, the new air force division is much smaller than before, with only 48 fighters. The combat effectiveness of the original division is much stronger.

The fighters of the two sides quickly came into contact with each other, and a fierce air battle began. Because the Hualan Army's fighter jets were more advanced and their pilots were better, the two sides always maintained a three-to-one battle loss ratio.Even with such a loss rate, the Hualan Air Force felt very distressed. They were all the most elite pilots and the best fighter jets. If the loss is too great, it will be difficult to fight the next battle.

Seeing that 10 J-24 fighter jets were shot down in just 5 minutes, the Hualan Air Force Command immediately issued an order to retreat.After receiving this order, Le Yiqin and the others felt a little stupid, but they could only obey the military order.

Soon the Hualan Air Force's J-5 fighter jets returned one after another, relying on their higher speed, they headed for their own airport.The Teutonic Air Force, which thought they had won the victory, pursued closely and vowed to shoot down all the opponents. However, when they crossed the Ural defense line for more than five kilometers, a large group of flames suddenly erupted on the ground.

Seeing those flames, the Teutonic pilots thought they were the enemy's anti-aircraft gun positions, but they knew that the largest caliber anti-aircraft guns were only 5000 meters high, so they were not worried, they just raised the altitude of the aircraft to about 8000 meters.
