Chapter 239: hound

"Isn't it? In order to destroy a bridge... take off 10 b-52 bombers?" A ground crew member sorted out the equipment in front of him while complaining to the leaders around him: "It's really a big scene."

"No way, the hit accuracy of the new weapon is really worrying." The old technical worker in charge of the ground handling command explained without raising his head.

Said to be an old skilled worker, in fact, he has just turned 21. On his birthday at the airport yesterday, the captain of the 2nd Bomber Group came to celebrate his birthday.

After all, he is already a veteran with two years of technical work experience. In the Air Force sequence, how to calculate is also a highly qualified senior technical talent.

"Be careful of the cables! Put everything in order before you plug it back into the plane! These big guys are fine things that are not good enough. If you don't make any progress, those later guys will surpass you!" The 21-year-old The veteran raised his head and saw the movements of his subordinates, and sternly reminded him.

In reality, it is sometimes such cruel things. Of course, the technical staff who first use the Magic Ball have an advantage in terms of qualifications, but the personnel who use the Magic Ball are more solid in professionalism.

You should know that many ground crews repaired and inspected the me-109 fighter jets or the Il-2 attack aircraft at the beginning. Now, they may be responsible for the more advanced MiG-17 fighter jets, or advanced jet bombers such as the b-52.

Of course, those newly trained ground crews are more familiar with the new equipment, but they also lack the experience and management experience of the old ground crews. So everyone complements each other to learn, no one has a particularly big advantage.

Able to blaze a trail in this competitive environment, with the epaulettes of the third-level sergeant major, this 21-year-old young man has a calm and meticulous surpassing others. Whether it was from overhauling the p-51 Mustang fighter jet, or overhauling the b-52 bomber now, he has never made any mistakes.

"Got it! Sergeant Major!" The ground staff who was scolded scratched his head, and said in embarrassment.

For his own leader, he is one of the typical ground crews who have been messing around. In order to join the army and enlist in the army, he barely learned a little bit of technology without having to go to the front line. Yes, so now I can barely keep up with the development of equipment.

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

In fact, Ailan Hill was so fast that its weapons were updated, and the entire army's weaponry and equipment models were so varied.

Although the initial me-109 fighter jets have been eliminated, there are still more than 2,200 p-51 Mustang fighters in the air force.

These aircraft are now almost all performing ground attack missions, with more than 500 fighting for air supremacy on the Greken front, and some of them are patrolling and controlling the air in the southern region.

At the same time, Ailan Hill also has 300 MiG-17 jet fighters. These aircraft can be said to be high or low. They were rushed into production in order to enter the era of jet fighters. Now they are quickly eliminated due to backward technology. .

Such first-generation jet fighters are now basically in service in the southern part of Ailan Hill. It is nothing more than the Air Force's reluctance to lose it, and it really dislikes that their performance is not as good as the MiG-21, so they can barely find a place to place them.

Compared with the large number of equipment, the p-51 fighters that cannot be completely eliminated in a short time, and the MiG-17 fighters that have a small number of equipment but are outdated and rejected. The advanced MiG-21 fighters have always been in The state of insufficient quantity.

Because of the losses of the MiG-17, the Air Force has been looking forward to the withdrawal of the technical department from the fighter equipment unit that is more advanced than the MiG-21, so it dare not produce MiG-21 too quickly to equip the troops.

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

Therefore, the number of MiG-21 fighters is still maintained at a very restrained order of magnitude, barely surpassing MiG-17 fighters, with about 500 equipment deployed.

Because of its average performance, the Il-2 attack aircraft has now been taken away by the p-51 Mustang fighter jets. Both types of aircraft are now in service. Most of the Il-2 has been thrown to the south or sold to allies.

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

The problem of the bomber force seems to be more serious. The massively equipped b-25 bombers and b-17 bombers cannot be eliminated at all. The most bombing missions are those of the 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 emergency-produced B-29 bombers... Now it seems that these bombers have become tasteless, and the Air Force is considering converting them into reconnaissance aircraft for continued use.

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 older aircraft, it is only a trivial fraction.

It is precisely because of this that Allan Hill's air force still cannot be regarded as an all-weather air force. It can perform missions under rainy night and night weather conditions. There are too few aircraft, especially the intensity of ground support is still severely affected by the weather.

This is why the ground forces still have to make quick decisions before the rain arrives: the Air Force can dispatch 500 aircraft to support operations, and it can only dispatch 35 aircraft to support operations, there is still a certain difference...

In terms of transport aircraft, the Air Force still has many models: there are thousands of -47 transport aircraft still in service, and it is still the absolute main transport force. The me-323 transport aircraft is reluctant to throw it away and is still using it.

The new-130 transport aircraft has begun mass production, but because of the pressure of air transportation, it can only increase the capacity, and it is impossible to eliminate the old transport aircraft.

In addition, civil aviation is mass-producing Boeing 707 passenger planes, and more and more aircraft types are flying over Ailan Hill.

Weapons are eliminated quickly, and the problem of numerous models also exists in the army. For single-soldier weapons, there are so many models that make people laugh and cry: the second-line troops are still equipped with a large number of Mauser 98k rifles, and the most elite troops have already been deployed. It's m4. Every time Chris reads this kind of report, he feels that his army weapons seem to have passed through.

The Guards special forces stationed in Serris wear almost as little as modern American soldiers. The reserve corps that is heading for Veronsa also wears M42 helmets and uses leather belts...

On busy roads, you can often see a similar phenomenon: the infantry division soldiers on the side of the road beginning with the number 3 have to drive the old 75 infantry artillery dragged by the mule and horse off the roadbed, and open the scud ballistic trajectory around him. The missile launcher gave way to the road.

This state has caused headaches for the logistics department, but this is an inevitable stage of development, and everyone has to grit their teeth and persist, hoping that this state of equipment chaos can end sooner.

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

Tighten the last screw with a tool, carefully check the cover of the maintenance door of the aircraft shell, and insert the tool into the special pocket of his back waist: "Notify the command center that there is no problem with this aircraft!"

By his side, the ground crew responsible for weapons and equipment had just completed the operation of mounting weapons at this time.

It was not the same as the internal bombs mounted on the b-52 bomber. This time the bombs mounted by their technicians were hung on the b-52 wing pylons.

Moreover, compared to the thick bombs before, this special bomb looks much more special. Because, it is not so much a bomb as it is a jet fighter.

In addition to having no cockpit, this special bomb has triangular wings and a turbojet engine below!

"Take a good look! This thing is called the'Super Hound'. Like the Sparrow missile equipped by the Air Force, it is a guided ground attack weapon! It has a range of 30 kilometers! Our bomber can be out of the range of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns. , Launch this missile safely!" The colleague standing next to the special weapon flaunted to the young sergeant who had overhauled the aircraft.

Seeing the surprised light in the eyes of the young sergeant, the ground service officer patted the body of the white missile lightly, and continued: "But...there is no shortage. The big guy's hit accuracy is only more than 200 meters! Not much accurate than Scud missiles!"

"Not bad! More than 200 meters, not bad for attacking a bridge." A smile appeared on the young sergeant's face: "What's more, this time you are going to dispatch 10 b-52 bombers in one go!"

"Isn't it! The above time is also enough." The weapon ground service officer agreed with a smile: "A total of 10 b-52 bombers! Hanging 20'Super Hounds' in one breath, as long as one hits, the bridge It's over!"

"It's not just you, I heard that there are quite a lot of programs prepared for the Saint Runos Bridge." The young sergeant said as he walked to the lawn: "You guys! There are 10 minutes left, attack. But it's about to begin."

Far west of Dokam, outside a certain village in the Ailan Hill controlled area, forklifts and road rollers have just stopped busy work. A worker looked at his watch and loudly reminded his subordinates: "There are ten minutes left! Gentlemen! Hurry up!"
