Chapter 239 239 Hound

"No? To destroy a bridge... take off 10 B-52 bombers?" A ground crew member While arranging the equipment in front of them, the personnel complained to the leaders around them: "It's really a big scene."

"No way, the accuracy of the new weapons is really worrying." Responsible for the ground crew The old skilled worker in command explained without raising his head.

Said to be an old skilled worker. In fact, he just turned 21 years old. On his birthday at the airport yesterday, the Great Captain of the 2nd bomber battallion came to celebrate his birthday.

After all, he is already a veteran with two years of technical work experience. In the Air Force sequence, no matter how he calculates, he is also a high-level technical talent with outstanding qualifications.

"Be careful with those cables! They're all tidied up and stuffed back into the plane! These big guys are good things that can't be precise. If you don't improve a little bit, those later guys will surpass you. !" The 21-year-old veteran raised his head to see the movements of his subordinates, and warned sternly.

Sometimes the reality is such a cruel thing. The technicians who use the knowledge magic ball first have an advantage in terms of qualifications, but the personnel who use the knowledge magic ball are more solid in terms of professionalism.

You should know that many ground crews initially maintained and inspected ME-109 fighter jets, or Il-2 attack aircraft. Now, they may be in charge of more advanced MiG-17 fighter jets, or advanced jet bombers like the B-52.

Those professionally trained new ground staff of course know more about the new equipment, but they also lack the experience and management experience of the old ground staff. So everyone complements and learns from each other, and no one has a particularly big advantage.

Able to fight his way in this competitive environment and wear the epaulette of the third-level Sergeant Head, the 21-year-old youngster has a poise and detail that surpasses others. Whether it was overhauling the P-51 Mustang fighter, or now overhauling the B-52 bomber, he has never made any mistakes.

"Got it! Sergeant Head!" The reprimanded ground staff scratched his head, sorry agreed.

For his own leader, he is one of the typical ground crews who are messing around. He joined the army and reluctantly learned a little technique in order not to go to the front line. I learned about jet engines, so I can barely keep up with equipment development.

When such people can't keep up with the pace of weapons development, they will be eliminated, and those who have completed their service will retire and leave the army, or they will be deployed to the second-line troops to overhaul those old aircraft.

In fact, Alanhill's weapon is called a myriad because the weapon update speed is too fast.

Although the original ME-109 fighter jets have been phased out, there are still more than 2,200 P-51 Mustangs in service with the Air Force.

These aircraft are now almost all performing ground attack missions, with more than 500 of them fighting for air supremacy on the Grecon front line, and some of them serving as patrol air superiority in the south.

At the same time, Alanhill has 300 MiG-17 jet fighters. These aircraft can be said to be too high or too low. They were rushed into production in order to enter the era of jet fighters. Laggards are quickly eliminated.

This type of first-generation jet fighter is now basically in service in the south of Alanhill. It is nothing more than that the Air Force is reluctant to lose it, and it is really disgusting that their performance is not as good as the MiG-21, so they reluctantly found a place to install it.

Compared to the P-51 fighter jets which have a large number of equipment and cannot be completely eliminated in a short period of time, and the MiG-17 fighter jets which have a small number of equipment but are outdated and despised by others, the advanced MiG-17 fighter jets have G-21 fighter jets have always been in a state of shortage.

Because of the loss of MiG-17, the Air Force has been expecting the technical department to withdraw from the fighter equipment more advanced than MiG-21, so they dare not produce MiG- 21 to equip troops.

They are really afraid that the MiG-21 fighter, which seems to be very useful, will eventually become a P-51 Mustang fighter that is too big to be eliminated.

As a result, the number of MiG-21 fighters is still in a very restrained order of magnitude, barely surpassing the MiG-17 fighters, with about 500 deployed.

The Il-2 attack aircraft has now been taken away by the P-51 Mustang fighter because of its average performance - both aircraft are now in service, and most of the Il-2 has been thrown away. South, or sell to allies.

It's just that the number of these piston fighters and attack aircraft is too large to be completely eliminated for a while. The number of Il-2 attack aircraft on several fronts exceeds 1,600, and it is still the main force of front-line support.

The problem of the bomber force seems to be more serious. The B-25 bombers and B-17 bombers that are equipped in large quantities cannot be eliminated at all. The most bombing missions are these World War II level bombers whose performance has actually fallen behind.

In order to carry larger nuclear weapons, the Air Force is also equipped with 18 B-29 bombers that were produced urgently... Now it seems that such bombers have become tasteless, and the Air Force is considering converting them into reconnaissance aircraft Just keep using it.

The B-52 bomber has become the new favorite of the Air Force because of its superior performance, but the number is still very small. Compared with the large number of old aircraft, it is only an insignificant fraction.

Because of this, Alanhill's Air Force is still not an all-weather air force. There are too few aircraft that can perform missions in rainy night weather conditions, especially the intensity of ground support is still seriously affected by the weather.

This is why the ground troops still have to do it quickly before the rain comes: the Air Force can dispatch 500 aircraft to support operations, and there is still a certain difference between only dispatching 35 aircraft to support operations... …

In terms of transport aircraft, there are still many models of the Air Force that make people didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: There are thousands of C-47 transport aircraft still in service, and they are still the absolute main force of transport, ME The -323 transport plane is reluctant to throw it away and is still in use.

The new C-130 transport aircraft has already started mass production, but because the air transport pressure is too high, it can only increase the capacity, and it is impossible to eliminate those old transport aircraft.

In addition, civil aviation is mass-producing Boeing 707 aircraft, and more and more aircraft types are flying over Alanhill.

Weapons are being phased out quickly, and the problem of many models also exists in the army. Just for individual weapons, the models are already so many that people didn't know whether to cry or laugh: the second-line troops are now It is also equipped with a large number of Mauser 98K rifles, and the most elite troops are already carrying M4. Every time Chris looks at this type of report, he feels that his military weapons seem to have come from across the country.

Serris's garrisoned Guardsmen are wearing about the same size as modern American GIs, and the Reserve Legion, which is heading to Veronsa, also wears an M42 helmet and leather straps...

On busy roads, you can often see similar strange sights: the soldiers of the infantry division starting with the number 3 on the side of the road had to drive the old-fashioned 75 infantry guns dragged by mules and horses off the roadbed, and drove the Scuds around for the rumblings Ballistic missile launcher out of the way.

This state of affairs has caused headaches for the logistics department, but this is an inevitable stage of development, and everyone has to stick to it, hoping that this state of equipment confusion can end soon.

Of course, this kind of schizophrenia is not so obvious on the Navy's side - after all, the Navy's coal-burning warships have been used for four years, and there is no plan to upgrade the equipment...

Screwed the last screw with a tool, carefully checked the cover of the maintenance door of the aircraft shell, and inserted the tool into a special pocket on his back waist: "Notify the command center, this aircraft has no There's a problem!"

Beside him, the ground crew in charge of weapons and equipment just finished the operation of mounting weapons at this time.

It is not the same as the internal bombs mounted on the previous B-52 bombers. The bombs mounted by these technicians at this time are hung on the B-52 wing pylons.

And, compared to the sturdy bombs before, this particular bomb looks much more special. Because, rather than a bomb, it's a fighter jet.

In addition to not having a cockpit, this particular bomb has triangular wings and a turbojet engine underneath!

"Look at it! It's called a 'Super Hound', and like the Air Force's Sparrow missile, it's a steerable ground-attack weapon! It has a range of 30 kilometers! Our bombers can Outside the range of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, launch this missile safely!" The colleague standing next to the special weapon showed off to the young Master Chief who had overhauled the plane.

Seeing the surprised light in the young Master Chief's eyes, the ground service officer gently patted the body of the white missile, and continued: "But... the shortcomings are not without, this big guy's hit The accuracy is only more than 200 meters! It is not much more accurate than the Scud missile!"

"Not bad! More than 200 meters is not bad for attacking a bridge." The young sergeant smiled: "even More how, this time, you are going to dispatch 10 B-52 bombers in one go!"

"Isn't it! The above time is also important enough." The weapon ground service officer agreed with a smile: " A full 10 B-52 bombers! Hang 20 'Super Hounds' in one go, as long as one hits, the bridge is over!"

"It's not just you, I heard, give that one There are quite a lot of programs called the San Lunos Bridge preparation." The young sergeant said as he walked to the lawn: "You guys are busy first! There are 10 minutes left, and the attack is about to start."

On the outskirts of a village in the Alanhill-controlled area, far west of Dorcam, forklifts and road rollers have just stopped working. A worker looked at his watch and loudly reminded his subordinates: "Ten minutes left! Gentlemen! Hurry up!"
