The Il2 ground attack aircraft was a Soviet ground attack aircraft during World War II. It was widely used in low-altitude fire support to the army. It is considered to be the best ground attack aircraft during World War II and is a famous tank killer.

The Soviet army called it a "flying tank" and the German army called it a "black death". Stalin compared the aircraft to being indispensable as the bread and air of the Red Army.

The main parts of the aircraft, such as cockpit, engine, cooler, and bomb bay, are protected by armor plates, and have strong battlefield survivability.

The weapons and equipment of the Il2 ground attack aircraft are fixed 23mm cannons and 7.62mm aerial machine guns. Compared with the newly unlocked Vix 40mm S-type air cannons, the difference is no small part.

The system also unlocked the Vickers 40mm S-type air cannon production line and the Il 2 ground attack aircraft production line. In this way, the intention was very obvious. Naturally, it wanted Yang Fandiy to combine strongly and prepare in advance for a comprehensive transition to counterattack in the future.

"Wow, it's so cool!"

Wang Liguo was fascinated by the hearing, until Yang Fan came to an end for a while, he stood up and said, "Master, you are so amazing. With these four treasures, our Air Force is simply like a tiger with wings!

In the future, fighter jets can fight Japanese aircraft happily, bombers can accurately bomb Japanese military targets, and ground attack aircraft can also slapped the Japanese armored tank troops. It would be great to think about it alone!"

Yang Fan smiled and nodded and said, "For a long time, the Air Force will be our focus of development. It will not only vigorously introduce new production technologies, weapons and equipment, but also continuously increase production lines and maximize production capacity.

Within a month, I will add a fighter production line, a ground attack aircraft production line, a bomber production line, as well as an enemy and Norton scope production line!”

In Yang Fan's development plan, it is natural that there must be wired to ensure the strength and leading advantage of the air force. The most urgent thing is to build up the production lines of fighter jets, bombers and ground attack aircraft, reserve enough combat aircraft, and form crushing advantages step by step to ensure absolute air supremacy.

Otherwise, even your own industrial base will not be kept, and you will be caught in a bomb every day at home. So how can you talk about the despicable development and the transition to a strategic counterattack?

"That's great! Haha, General Manager, our Air Force has nothing to do, but my wife has few combat aircraft. Otherwise, it would be the Japanese planes that will be rampant!"

Wang Liguo's face was almost laughing. In this Myanmar Battle, the Air Force achieved unprecedented brilliant results and accumulated the Japanese combat aircraft of two entire fleet divisions.

However, the losses suffered by himself were also extremely heavy, and the number of combat aircraft showed a cliff-like decline, which has always been a heart-wrenching problem for Wang Liguo recently.

Mao Weifeng, the director of Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, was also smiling from ear to ear. The aircraft factory has been in production for more than half a year and has been operating at full capacity. However, it has only produced more than 2,400 fighter jets in total. Almost every time it was just freshly released, it was dragged away by the air force. There is no such thing as inventory.

Mao Weifeng naturally knew what combat aircraft meant to the Air Force and what it meant to the entire Chinese army, so he had been working hard to improve production capacity, improve quality level, and study improvement plans.

In addition, what Mao Weifeng most wants is to add several more aircraft production lines, expand the production scale as much as possible, produce as many aircraft as possible, and contribute all the energy to the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan and the rise of China.

Yang Fan continued: "In terms of aircraft technology, the most advanced one is no longer a piston engine, but a jet engine. Germany and the United Kingdom have successively developed and designed jet fighters.

Jet fighters have faster speeds, and their speed can be easily increased by 900-950 km/h. Even after the aircraft's appearance is reasonably modified, the speed will be further increased to 1,000 km/h, or even reach supersonic speed!"

"What? Can jets easily reach more than 900 kilometers? They will exceed 1,000 kilometers in the future, even faster than the sound? General seat, I read less, you didn't lie to me, aren't you?"

Wang Liguo was stunned when he heard this. As a pilot, he didn't know that the current fighter's maximum speed is only six or seven hundred kilometers per hour.

And this new jet fighter can easily reach more than 900 kilometers, which is more than one-third faster than their most advanced Mustang fighter at present.

In that case, once the jet fighter jets are fully put into war, the advanced fighter jets that the Hu Ben Army is proud of will enter the sewer directly and become low-end elimination products!

Such a reality is really unacceptable.

Yang Fan nodded seriously and said, "You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. It is true that a jet fighter has been successfully developed. Although it is still very imperfect, it will take more than two years to officially enter the actual combat.

But it is true that jet aircraft has been born, and it will definitely replace the existing propeller fighter in the future. There is no doubt about this!

Once a jet fighter is put into use, it will not only have strict requirements on the pilot's physical fitness, but will also undergo major changes in air combat tactics and dog fighting skills.

So there is a saying that goes against the current and you will retreat if you don’t advance. We should never be proud and complacent. We should always be vigilant and constantly pursue progress!”

Wang Yongchen, chief engineer of the aircraft manufacturing plant, stared wide with his eyes and looked at Yang Fan blankly and said, "Chief, do we have the technical information for the production of this jet aircraft now?"

"There are still production technical materials, and I want to be detailed. But I have not yet obtained specific production equipment and production lines, and everything has to start from scratch! This will be a big test for us!"

Yang Fan nodded gently. The system has not unlocked the jet fighter production line now, but some technical information can still be purchased for money.

However, it is obvious that it is not that simple to convert the production technical data of jet fighters into actual results. Especially now, from scratch, not to mention creating a leading level of jet fighter, it is difficult and difficult to simultaneously develop jet fighters with Germany and the United Kingdom.

Even though he now has a complete set of technical materials and the conditions for research and development and trial production are very advanced, Yang Fan still does not have enough confidence to do it in a short period of time.

After all, this thing has a generation difference from propeller fighter jets, which can be called an epoch-making product. The technical reserves and accumulation required cannot be broken through easily.

Moreover, Yang Fan has a very clear understanding, that is, the difficulty coefficient of unlocking the jet fighter production line will be very high, and he will never easily reach the unlocking conditions.

Unless the Germans brought out the jet fighter in advance and broke the current balance in actual combat, the system will definitely follow the steps and will only unlock it at a bargain price after a year or two.
