Chapter 206: Pilots gather at the airport
Xu Le took a special look at the weapons that the system provided for it. As for the aerial bombs, he skipped them because there was nothing good to see. However, the J-5 and H-5 were both equipped with 57mm rocket launchers.
分为57-8型和57-16型，分别可以装载8枚和16枚57-1火箭弹。
This type of rocket weighs nearly 4 kilograms and has a maximum flight speed of Mach 2. It is equipped with a proximity or impact fuze and can attack aerial targets up to 5000 meters away, as well as ground and sea attacks.
It can also carry other rockets, such as the Type 90 rocket, but this is not part of the system's standard configuration.
Xu Le still doesn't fully understand the system's pricing rules for ammunition, but all bullets and bombs have fixed prices.
For bullets with a caliber below 20 mm, 1 military merit point is worth 1 rounds.
For shells with a caliber of 20 mm or above, 1 military merit point is worth 100 rounds.
在系统武器的标配弹药上，比如轰5的500千克炸弹和250千克炸弹同样是1军功点100颗，57毫米火箭弹也是1军功点100发。
However, if you want to replace it with 90mm rockets, you must first purchase a 90mm rocket launcher, and the price of the rocket will become 1 military merit point per rocket.
Xu Le had also looked at the prices of missiles, and it was obvious that they no longer belonged to the ammunition category but were separate weapons.
Take the first surface-to-air missile "Hongqi No. 1964" launched by New China in 29 as an example. Its maximum range is 22 kilometers, its maximum altitude is kilometers, and its warhead is a high-energy fragmentation type.
Although the system has poor maneuverability, a hit rate of only 20%, and is susceptible to electronic interference, its complete set of launch equipment costs 15 military merit points, and purchasing an additional missile costs military merit points.
This is still the cheapest. Its improved model "Hongqi-200" missile two years later has a maximum range of 40 kilometers and its price has doubled to 35 military merit points per set, and a single missile costs military merit points.
As for other small missiles, such as air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, etc., their prices are also different, but they are not as cheap as bullets and artillery shells.
Or maybe it's a limitation of the system. They don't want the world's military power to deviate too much, so they make the missiles priced particularly high.
Another special point is that although the system has the option to purchase nuclear missiles or nuclear bombs, there is a question mark behind the price.
It should be that purchasing requires not only military merit points, but also some other conditions, and those conditions are unknown.
If you don't consider these, you may never use them in your life, except for the Japanese.
Xu Le's initial plan was to divide the Air Force into four parts, namely fighter brigade, tactical bomber brigade, strategic bomber brigade and airborne brigade.
It was not the time to consider the latter two, so the tactical bomber was designated as the H-5, which was to carry out front-line battlefield bombing missions.
The price of a single H-5 is 7 military merit points. Its detailed organization is the same as that of fighter jets. Including the four directly under the brigade headquarters, the brigade has a total of 4 bombers.
Military merit points consumed are 700 million.
There is no need for training aircraft, the J-5 can be used together.
Personal panel:
Host: Xu Le
Military Merit Points:
Title: Millionaire [Host's business ability is enhanced by 50%, and subordinates are enhanced by 20%]
Mission: Great Wall Watch [Lead the army to conquer the world and establish your own country, the deadline is 10 years...]
Space: J-5 fighter jets [100], H-6 bombers [100], J-5 training aircraft [50], gold [kilograms], silver [kilograms], some antiques, some ammunition, some fuel...
After buying it, Xu Le felt a little regretful.
Because Yuncheng Airport is neither big nor small, but it can't accommodate 250 planes.
"Well, Marshal, it will be useful sooner or later. The money is not wasted."
After learning about the situation, Xu Da could only comfort him in this way. He could understand Xu Le's feelings. After all, he was a little excited about raising the first air force and forgot to consider some details.
"That's fine. You estimate the size of the airport and decide how many planes should be taken out!"
"The main focus in the early stage is training. We can produce 5 J-30 trainers first. We can only produce one squadron of fighters and bombers. There will be no room for more!"
So, Xu Le thought about it and a large number of planes appeared at the airport.
30 J-5 trainers were parked neatly in one place, and the J-5 and H-5 were also parked in two areas.
Like a car tank, fuel is free and can be drawn indefinitely.
Afterwards, Xu Le exchanged some aviation fuel and onboard weapons, including Type 57-16 rocket pods and rockets. Anyway, these were standard system features and were cheap.
He would not equip the J-5 and H-6 with only machine guns. It is not his style to fight against the enemy's planes and artillery shells. He would just crush them!
.....
At noon the next day, 500 pilots, escorted by the security battalion and after multiple identity checks, finally arrived at the airport.
The moment they stepped into the airport, everyone was stunned, including the only few major pilots with combat experience.
"Hey, is my eyes clear? Or am I dreaming? Why do I see so many planes I've never seen before?"
"I'm sure it's not my eyes, we must have had the same dream, because I saw it too!"
"Look, these planes don't have propellers. How do they fly?"
"Why does every airplane have a butt at the back? Do airplanes also poop?"
.......
Even those majors could not understand why there were holes on the back of the planes. Some had one hole, and some had two.
Is it really used for pooping?
That’s not right, the plane is dead, it can’t even shit!
Just as a group of pilots were surrounding the plane in twos and threes, Xu Le, Jiang Feng and Xu Da came to these people in a jeep.
They naturally recognized Xu Le, and immediately lined up under the leadership of several majors.
"Report to the commander, 500 pilots have assembled, please give instructions. Major Wang Yuji has completed the report!"
They had not yet been formally appointed as officers in the 88th Army and were strictly speaking "new recruits". Wang Yuji, who had the most seniority, naturally took on the role of temporary commander and reported to them.
It was just that he looked a little funny because he didn't hide his inner joy when he spoke.
Xu Le walked forward, patted the young man who was about 20 years old, and said, "Wang Yuji, very good. Tell me more about your situation!"
Wang Yuji immediately straightened his already straight body again: "My name is Wang Yuji, I'm 25 years old, I'm a graduate of the 38th grade of the National Guard Aviation Academy, I participated in the Battle of Wuhan. Later I served as a major instructor at the Aviation Academy until now!"
