Chapter 283 Fighter test flight, establishment of column military academy
Gundam was very happy when he saw the many excited engineers in the workshop.
In Gundam's view, every engineer is a valuable asset. It is because of their wisdom and hard work that the Independent Column has its first jet fighter. This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a symbol of the Independent Column's strength.
Gaoda pulled Meng Debiao aside, away from the bustling crowd.
There was a gleam in Meng Debiao's eyes. He knew what this fighter plane meant to the independent column.
"Debiao, when do you plan to conduct the first flight test?"
Meng Debiao said, "Commander, I plan to start the first flight test in the next few days. I have also specially found an excellent pilot to test fly. He is receiving jet fighter training."
After hearing this, Gundam nodded with satisfaction, and approval was revealed in his eyes.
"Yes, the first flight will be arranged as soon as the ground test is completed. I will bring many leaders to observe it then."
"Yes, Commander." Meng Debiao replied.
He knew that this maiden flight test was not only a test for the fighter jet, but also a test for the entire team.
He turned around and plunged into the intense preparations again. Every detail needed to be confirmed repeatedly, and there could not be any mistakes in any link.
After giving his instructions, Gundam left the arsenal with his guards and returned to the headquarters.
His heart was full of anticipation, for he knew that the successful maiden flight of this jet fighter would bring unprecedented encouragement to the independent column.
He sat in the jeep and looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the spectacular sight of the fighter jet soaring in the blue sky.
...........
2 month 20 day.
In the early morning, Wild Wolf Mountain was shrouded in a light mist, as if covered with a mysterious veil.
As the sun rose, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the outline of a medium-sized field airport.
This field airport was secretly built by the Independent Column before the New Year and was hidden in the valley.
At this time, the field airport was bustling with people.
Gaoda led many senior officers of the independent column and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters to gather on the viewing stand of the field airport.
Gundam sat next to the chief and had a cordial conversation with him.
The chief's eyes were full of excitement and curiosity. He looked at Gundam with a hint of amazement in his tone: "Commander Gao, I have underestimated you until now. I didn't expect that you could build an airplane without making any noise. This is really amazing. Looking at the whole of China, no force can independently manufacture airplanes. The arsenal of the independent column is amazing." The chief
Gundam smiled and said, "Commander, the independent column can only produce fighter jets with the support of the headquarters. The engineers and experts supported by the headquarters are the real treasures. Without these engineers, the independent column would not be able to produce fighter jets."
The leader whispered to Gao Da, "Commander Gao, tell me the bottom line. What is the performance of this fighter plane made by the independent column? It's not a wooden plane, is it?"
"Hahaha, Chief, how could it be a wooden plane? Let me tell you this, the planes manufactured by the Ping An Arsenal are epoch-making fighters that can definitely beat fighters from any country in the world." Gundam said confidently.
"Oh? In that case, I'll have to wait and see if it's as powerful as you say."
The chief's interest was thoroughly piqued, and his eyes were gleaming with anticipation.
Just as the two were talking, a truck towing a fighter jet arrived at the airport and walked onto the runway. When the engineer removed the cover on the plane, the scene suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at the plane on the runway in shock. They had never seen such a plane before.
The appearance of this aircraft is smooth and powerful. The silver-gray fuselage flashes coldly in the sun, like a falcon about to take off.
The chief was shocked and said, "Commander Gao, why does this fighter plane have no propeller? How can it take off without a propeller?"
"Commander, this is the epoch-making jet fighter manufactured by our arsenal. It has no propellers, but it is faster than propeller aircraft." Gundam explained.
Everyone present was confused by Gundam's explanation. They didn't understand and couldn't hear it.
But they are full of anticipation for what is about to happen.
Under everyone's gaze, the pilot climbed into the cockpit of the plane and checked all the instruments.
The pilot started to ignite the engine, and a piercing roar suddenly sounded in the airport, the sound was very loud.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears. The pilot was flying the fighter jet quickly on the runway, and then with a sudden stretch, the fighter jet flew into the sky at an attitude of nearly 90 degrees. Everyone was stunned looking at the jet fighter flying into the sky.
Everyone muttered to themselves.
This fighter jet actually flew into the sky, it's really a miracle.
As the pilot stepped on the throttle, the two turbojet engines began to generate power. A huge roar resounded throughout the Wild Wolf Mountain. Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a very strange plane flying through the sky at a very fast speed.
"Reporting to the tower, all parameters of the fighter are normal. The current speed is 870 kilometers per hour, and no abnormal noise was detected from the aircraft." The pilot's voice was transmitted to the tower via the radio.
"Tower received. We will return immediately after completing all tests." The tower commander replied.
After the call, the pilot flew the fighter jet and performed various difficult maneuvers in the sky, including rolling, diving, and rapid ascent. Every move made the people on the viewing stand exclaim in amazement.
The people below were already stunned and exclaimed in amazement.
The commander said with emotion: "It's simply amazing. Apart from anything else, the speed of this fighter alone can beat the Japanese propeller planes. I never thought that the Eighth Route Army would one day have such a powerful aircraft."
Gundam stood aside and said, "Commander, the skies in the future will no longer be dominated by the devils. After we have air superiority, our troops will no longer have to fear the devil's planes."
"I plan to establish a military academy within the independent column and recruit a large number of flight cadets for training in preparation for the establishment of the People's Air Force. At the same time, I will also train senior officers of the independent column in modern warfare concepts."
After hearing what Gaoda said, the chief nodded in agreement and said, "Commander Gao, I agree with your decision. If you need support from the headquarters, just ask. We will spare no effort to support the development of the independent column."
Gundam said happily, "Thank you, Chief."
About 10 minutes later, the fighter jet completed various tests and landed steadily at the field airport.
Everyone on the viewing stand couldn't wait to run to the runway and observe the jet fighters up close. Seeing such advanced fighters made everyone excited and their hearts beat fast.
They surrounded the plane, carefully observing every detail and exclaiming in admiration from time to time.
I began to fantasize in my mind that in the future the Eighth Route Army would have hundreds or thousands of planes and would destroy all the Japanese planes.
