It is basic data about the Italian BR-20 bomber.

Two Fiat engines, each with 1,000 horsepower, a range of 2,700 kilometers, and a bomb load of 1,700 kilograms.

I have to say that this Fiat engine is indeed powerful.

Before the air forces of various countries began a crazy arms race, there was no engine more powerful than it.

The engine horsepower of the BF-109 is the same as it.

That's from Mercedes-Benz-Daimler.

It can carry 1,700 kilograms of aerial bombs! It is also very powerful.

It would be better if it was purchased by the Japanese Navy Red Deer, but it needs to take off from the coast, which is quite far away.

If it was purchased by the Japanese Army Red Deer and took off from the frontline airport, it would be very close. Especially taking off from Taiyuan Airport.

Guangzhou, Changsha, Hankou...

All are within the bombing range of the BR-20.

Fortunately, we may not be able to reach Chongqing for the time being. Chongqing is still safe.

afternoon.

There are hints on the empty finger map.

To the northwest, 350 kilometers away, a large number of white aircraft markings appeared.

Oh, it's the Soviet bomber formation that has arrived.

Three bomber groups, indeed thirty-six of them.

"Commander, they are here. They have reached Badong, above Zigui."

"Oh? Are they going this way?"

"Maybe it took a little detour."

"No wonder..."

Commander Qian was about to speak but stopped.

Zhang Yong understood what the other party meant.

The Soviets did not trust the Chinese.

Therefore, the report only said that three bomber groups were arriving today. There were thirty-six bombers in total.

Other routes, time, etc. are all missing. Apparently they are worried about leaking secrets.

In fact, it’s understandable. I’ve only suffered a loss once before.

Once there is a specific time and route, it may be intercepted by Japanese fighter jets.

The government's telegrams were kept secret, and even Zhang Yong himself did not trust them, let alone the Soviets.

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Commander, Commissioner, General Dubuyev is here."

"Invite him in."

Commander Qian stood up and went out with Zhang Yong to greet him.

Dubuyev is the Soviet Air Force representative stationed in Hankou. It is said that he has the rank of major general.

All members of the Soviet Union's Volunteer Air Force to China wore casual clothes after arriving in China. They also did not wear any rank insignia.

Including Soviet pilots taking off for combat, there were no military signs.

They are all heroes who silently help China.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, this period of history was rarely mentioned.

"open."

"Davarisi..."

Zhang Yong greeted the other party in Russian.

Unlike Yakovsky, Dubuyev is a civilized man.

How should I put it? He is the kind of more elegant academic. He wears glasses and is polite.

Every time he saw him, Zhang Yong felt that he had reaped the benefits of his sports career. In terms of core business level, he was probably not as good as Yakovsky.

At least Yakovsky can really fly a plane and dares to personally lead his team into the air to fight.

But this Dubuyev never did.

"Zhang, now we can discuss the basic outline of the escort."

"please."

Zhang Yong nodded.

The three of them sat down and drew up an escort plan.

What arrived this time was not an SB-2 bomber. It was another type of C6-2 bomber.

Zhang Yong is not very clear about the specific data of this bomber. But its range is longer than that of the SB-2, and its bomb load is about the same.

At the extreme range, the bomb load is about 500 kilograms.

Of course, if you don't attach any aerial bombs, you can definitely fly farther.

The question is, you are a bomber! If you don’t carry aerial bombs, what are you going to do? A day trip in the air?

The escort is mainly provided by I-16 fighter jets.

The Hawker-3 type can also participate, but it is not the main force because the overall combat effectiveness is not good.

However, no matter which model of fighter jet it is, there is one problem, that is, it has short legs. The combat radius cannot exceed 450 kilometers.

The terrible thing is that both Jinling and Hangzhou are just stuck on the edge of the combat radius.

You may say that you can't reach it, but you can barely reach it.

However, with such an extreme combat radius, the airborne time can only last ten minutes.

Tangled.

"Your Majesty General, I have a suggestion..."

"What?"

"We took off in the early morning, arrived at the Japanese airport after dawn, carried out a surprise attack, and then returned quickly."

"Night flight, can you guarantee that you won't lose your way?"

"Of course. If I were leading the team, they would definitely not get lost."

Zhang Yong did not hide or tuck in.

You must show your abilities to the other party.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger cannot be used in such situations.

"We ran away after the bombing and returned quickly. By the time the Japanese fighter jets caught up, we had already entered the escort range of the fighter jets."

"We can even lure the Japanese fighter planes out and then use the fighter planes to ambush them."

"Not only can it bomb the Japanese invaders' airports, but it can also destroy some of the Japanese invaders' fighter planes in the air."

Zhang Yong spoke eloquently.

This is called continuous elimination and elimination.

Not only will it bomb you, but it will also lure you into action and then give you a sap.

Chain set.

One set after another.

Others can't do it.

But he can.

Because you have an empty finger map, you can control the movements of all fighters at any time.

The only limitation is the radio communication distance.

However, miniature telegraphs can also be used for long distances. Telegraphs can be transmitted hundreds of kilometers.

Use a telegraph to summon the aircraft, and then use a radio to call for immediate command.

Theoretically this is the case.

"About night flights, we need to verify."

"certainly."
