Six hundred and forty-one B25 landing [Bumblebee]

The meeting finally discussed where to land the B25 on the Hornet aircraft carrier, and then set off on time on the morning of the 1st and set off in advance, and the [Enterprise] aircraft carrier waiting in designated waters assembled.

According to the previous plan, the b25 landed on the aircraft carrier at the dock, but people from the intelligence department believed that this would attract too much attention, which was not conducive to the raid. What if there were Japanese spies in the crowd?

Although most Japanese or Japanese people were taken into custody after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, this cannot guarantee that the secret will not be leaked. Sometimes, experienced spies can judge the enemy's combat and action plan from a small matter.

People from the security department believe that it is safer to land the b25 on the Hornet at the dock, because once the landing fails, the dock will have more equipment for emergency assistance.

To put it bluntly, it is to be skeptical of Zhou Zhihan's landing on the aircraft carrier by driving a B25. After all, his feat was the first time like a long-distance raid in that place, and no one can guarantee success.

[Bumblebee] is the latest aircraft carrier and cannot be missed.

The attack on Pearl Harbor has already made the morale of the army unrivaled. If [Bunny] is injured again, the blow to morale will undoubtedly be even worse.

Zhou Zhihan did not speak up about this. No matter how nice it sounds, it is useless. Only by taking practical actions can all doubts be shattered.

Questioning is the power that everyone has.

Only when people can stand doubts can they keep making progress.

When others question it, it is useless to just say it, and taking action to break the question is the king.

"Col. Zhou! You will land on the aircraft carrier in a bomber. What do you think about this?" Lieutenant General Haksey looked at Zhou Zhihan and asked, "How sure are you about landing successfully?"

This sentence has been asked repeatedly countless times.

Haxie had just received the order to lead the [Bunhill] aircraft carrier to a designated location and waited for the landing of the B25 bomber, and immediately had great doubts about the capabilities of the new Pacific Fleet Commander Nimitz.

Do you don’t understand the navy or the carrier-based aircraft?

You let the bomber land on the aircraft carrier?

This difficulty is even more difficult than long-distance raids and bombing that place.

Although before this, Zhou Zhihan taught the carrier-based pilots of the [Enterprise] and [York City] aircraft carriers learned to fly wildcats or fearless jumping ships, the weight of the two aircraft was less than half of the b25. Whether it was sensitivity, wing load, or lift of the wing, it was not on the same level. What affected the landing was the angle of the aircraft when landing, the width of the wing, the distance between the aircraft and the aircraft carrier during jumping, and a series of difficulties...

Dulite was a little embarrassed when he heard everyone's distrust. Zhou Zhihan was invited by him. As the top pilot in the United States, he knew Zhou Zhihan's ability, otherwise he would not have gone to find him.

After the b25 was modified, in order to be foolproof, they took off and landed on the onshore simulation aircraft carrier more than once, and Zhou Zhihan performed with ease every time.

Doolittle stood up and said, "General! Before coming here, we tried to land on the land-based aircraft carrier many times, and Colonel Zhou's skills are absolutely fine." Then he looked around, "Col. Zhou from China's performance at Pearl Harbor is obvious to all, and he is fully qualified for this difficult task. This time, he was invited to participate, which was also specially approved by the President."

Dulite’s meaning is very clear. As a foreigner, he has made great contributions to Pearl Harbor than everyone here. He is our benefactor. Is it okay to question the benefactor like this?

Also, do you question him, do you also question Mr. President?

The room suddenly became silent.

The few people who questioned Zhou Zhihan just now also felt that what they said was a bit too much and stopped talking.

"General! Everyone, I can land safely!" Zhou Zhihan stood up and said, "This mission is important, so I will naturally do my best."

Since you ask, I will tell you that I can. As for whether you believe it or not after I say it, it is your business.

"I think that in order to keep it a secret, we can park the aircraft carrier in a waters of forty nautical miles from the pier, and I landed one by one in a b25."

In order to be foolproof, just a month ago, Zhou Zhihan would enter the system every night to practice flying a B25 bomber and landing on an aircraft carrier. His proficiency was even greater than that of driving a wildcat on an aircraft carrier.

This matter is of great importance and cannot be misunderstood.

Haksey stared at Zhou Zhihan for a few seconds: OK! Then at 7 a.m. tomorrow, the aircraft carrier will park in the waters forty nautical miles from the port, waiting for the bomber to land."

The next morning at 7 o'clock.

"Here is here! b25 is here."

A lieutenant officer standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier of Bumblebee shouted at the bomber flying not far away.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of his fingers. Sure enough, a b25 was approaching, and it was the b25's No. 1, the landline that Doolittle was about to drive.

The weight of the b25 after Jack's modification dropped significantly, from the previous 9,600 kg to less than 7,000 kg, which is not much heavier than the full load of Mustang.

Since he practiced four consecutive jumps when bombing the [Ruihe] aircraft carrier, Zhou Zhihan's skills have risen to a state of being cold at high places, and air combat skills have gradually improved.

Zhou Zhihan didn't know at this time, just as he realized the four consecutive jumps, the air combat skills of his most important opponents in recent years began to become superb.

The sun is rising, the air is fresh, the southwest wind is windy, the wind is 12 knots, and the clouds are 1,200 meters high, reflected on the azure sea, which is beautiful.

The [Hornet] aircraft carrier with no fighter plane on the ship was sailing in a straight line on the sea surface. The current speed of this steel giant beast was 18 knots.

Seeing that the No. 1 bomber arrived, the speed was raised to 20 knots required by Zhou Zhihan. In the wind, the head of the ship was facing the sun, and the huge hull plowed the blue sea water, which was very spectacular.

No. 1 b25 flew around the aircraft carrier for a lap and then slowly decelerated. After flying a lap of 20 meters from the aircraft carrier, it pulled up again, and made another flight in the opposite direction, and then pulled up again.

Although Haxi was experienced in many battles, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this and asked Doolittle: "What's going on?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhihan did not land twice, Doolittle couldn't help but worry, but in order to comfort Lieutenant General, he said calmly: "This is normal. The bomber is not a carrier-based aircraft. It has neither a slat and landing hook for special landing, nor a supercharger gearbox. It can only land at the lowest speed. This requires a high lift on the bomber wings. Colonel Zhou is seeking stability and finding the best wind resistance and the best landing point."

At this moment, an aircraft carrier landing commander shouted: "He has not put down the landing gear yet, are he insecure?"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were thrust.

......

No matter how emotional you have, you have to be worthy of everyone's constant updates.
