Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 706 Test flight successful!

Chennault was piloting the J-5 in rapid maneuvers in the air. He was a very experienced pilot and was very surprised at the outstanding performance of the plane.

Through the glass cover of the cockpit, he carefully felt the contact between the J-5 and the air, and he carefully felt the aircraft's extremely high maneuverability in the air. Chennault could assert that this was the most powerful fighter of this era.

If we have to make a comparison, it can be said to be a gap-free lead!

P40 fighters, Hellcat fighters, and the devil's snack fighters, let them go to hell.

This is the most powerful fighter jet of this era!

Chennault flew this new aircraft, circling over the city of Taiyuan. He even began to try maneuvers that he had wanted to do when flying other aircraft but had never been able to do due to limitations in the aircraft's performance. He felt the feeling of overweight and weightlessness brought about by acceleration and deceleration.

For a top pilot, this is the ultimate sensory stimulation.

He flew circle after circle until the fuel alarm sounded. Chennault ended his flight reluctantly and began to return to the airport.

Since the speed of this jet plane far exceeded that of a propeller plane, Chennault was extremely cautious when landing. He used his profound experience to control the direction and finally found the runway for landing.

Although there was a slight loss of control and the taxiing trajectory was a bit crooked, the landing gear was successfully opened before landing, and the plane landed smoothly without any danger.

After seeing the J-5 land smoothly, everyone who had returned to the command center rushed out spontaneously. Almost everyone was running, and some excited guys even threw their work notebooks and hats out to vent their inner excitement.

Everyone gathered around the J-5 that had just landed safely and began to applaud enthusiastically. The applause was like thunder.

When Chennault stepped onto the ground, everyone began to applaud again.

While applauding, the people on the Chinese side looked at each other and saw a hint of unwillingness and regret in each other's eyes. The new fighter jets designed and manufactured by the Chinese themselves needed an American to help test fly them.

Although this is the price paid for so many years of backwardness, any Chinese person will always feel uncomfortable when thinking about it.

“Chief Engineer Li, based on my experience and all the fighter planes I have seen, this fighter plane is definitely the best one I have ever seen.

Its maneuverability is the strongest fighter I have ever seen in my life.

If there were 48 planes, oh no, just give me 24, I could lead them to kill all the Japanese fighter formations.

I can make sure the Japs have no advantage in the air.

I'm not just talking about China's airspace, they will have no advantage even in the Japanese's home airspace."

Chennault was already in his forties at this time, but when he mentioned these things, he was still as excited as a child.

Seeing Chennault so excited, Li Junhua remained very calm. She said softly, "General Chennault, we will have so many new fighter planes.

At present, our new fighter jets have entered the mass production stage.

As long as you can help us train enough pilots, our Liaoyuan Arsenal will definitely produce enough new fighter planes."

Li Junhua's voice was crisp and beautiful, but this gentle voice sounded heavier than a thousand pounds in the ears of everyone present, as if an infinite force was hitting everyone in front of it.

Especially the people in China, they all know that Li Junhua will do whatever he promises, no matter how difficult it is.

In this regard, Li Junhua is just like her teacher Yu Ye, serious and rigorous in her work.

The early winter wind blew across Taiyuan Airport, causing Li Junhua's long black hair to flutter gently. Her slender and upright figure contrasted with the J-5, forming a great contrast.

Chennault looked around and saw that the Taiyuan Airport had not been rebuilt in time due to industrial construction. The ground was still paved with loess and not even hardened with cement concrete. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that a world-class new jet fighter could take off in such an environment.

After taking another look at the J-5 fighter jet he had just piloted and the incredibly young team of aviation engineers in front of him, he decided to stay.

Chennault no longer wanted to return to the southwest to be disgusted by the efficiency and vitality of the Eighth Route Army, and recalling the outrageous and speechless things he had encountered in the southwest in the past one or two years.

At the same time, Chennault still had a glimmer of hope and passion in his heart. The reason he came to China was more like a mercenary, and for his military career, it even had a bit of a taste of exile and banishment. But if he could quickly adapt and train an air force that could adapt to the new fighter planes, when he returned to the United States, he might become a hot figure again.

Thinking of this, Chennault's heart began to heat up.

......

"Commander, Commander, I have good news for you. Our new fighter jet successfully completed its first test flight today!"

After settling Chennault and Davis's gang, the chief of staff brought Li Junhua to the headquarters. As soon as they stepped into the door of the headquarters, the chief of staff couldn't wait to report the good news to the commander.

"Hahaha, you did a great job!"

The commander put down the work at hand, walked up to the chief of staff and Li Junhua, with a smile on his face.

"Commander, this is not our good work, it is Li Junhua and the aviation industry team she leads who did a great job." The chief of staff said, pointing at Li Junhua beside him.

"This girl is amazing! No, she can't be called a girl, Chief Engineer Li is amazing."

The commander was in a very good mood and subconsciously praised Li Junhua. However, as soon as he said it, he realized that it was not respectful enough, so he immediately changed his words and called him Chief Engineer Li.

Li Junhua didn't mind at all and said openly: "I think the commander said that girls are more friendly. However, I am not awesome, it is our entire aviation industry team at Liaoyuan Arsenal that is awesome!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the commander, the division commander and the chief of staff's eyes lit up. This girl was even more extraordinary and had a great vision.

"Chief Engineer Li, I see the style of your teacher Yu Ye in you. It is true that a good teacher produces good students. I think that even if Yu Ye sees you now, he will praise you and say that you are ready to become a master!"

Speaking of Yu Ye, Li Junhua was obviously absent-minded: "Commander, how can we compare with the teacher? The idea of this new fighter and the development direction of various fighters in the future were all pointed out to us by the teacher.

Compared to him, we still have a long way to go.”

"Haha, if you ask me, you are already good enough. By the way, do you have any ideas or suggestions for the development of our own air force?"

The commander asked specifically. After all, for the Eighth Route Army at that time, it was the first time in history to have its own air force. There was still a long way to go in terms of how to build, command and maximize combat effectiveness.
