When several soldiers pulled the plane out of a warehouse, the officers who followed Wang Mo to the playground all widened their eyes and looked up and down, left and right in curiosity.

Wang Mo walked to the side of the plane, patted the metal wings, and introduced: "Everyone, this new weapon is called an aircraft. In layman's terms, it is a machine that can fly. The specific model of this aircraft can be called the Aiko DH4 bomber. The bomber, as the name implies, can throw bombs from the sky and bombard the area."

"Young Marshal, what do you mean is this plane that can fly into the sky? I don't think it looks like it!"

"I don't think I can fly. This plane looks like it's made of all metal. How can it be so heavy?"

"That's right, they are straight metal wings, and they are not flapping like birds, how can they fly?"

...

Although the plane was in front of me, the wings and fuselage were several meters long, and it looked completely made of metal, the officers present, including Wang Haoshan, did not believe that this giant could fly into the sky.

The officers' questions sounded very ignorant, but Wang Mo understood it very well. If he had not received systematic education from later generations and had roughly understood the principles of aircraft flight, he would probably have been the same as them. He did not believe that such a heavy all-metal aircraft could fly freely in the sky like a bird.

Wang Mo smiled and said, "You can see it immediately if you can fly. I will drive this bomber for a bombing exercise in a while. I have asked someone to arrange a target on a barren hill near the military academy. You can observe the specific bombing effect through a telescope."

As soon as Wang Mo finished speaking, several soldiers immediately stepped forward to distribute telescopes to the officers one by one.

Taking advantage of the gap between distributing the telescope, Wang Haoshan approached Wang Mo and asked with some concern: "Mo'er, is this plane possible? There will be no problem with flying into the sky, right? It's too dangerous. You'd better fly this plane to the sky to exercise."

Change the pilot?

Wang Mo thought, but where to find it. Aircraft is a rare thing abroad at this time. Not to mention in Sichuan, it is basically impossible to find a qualified pilot in China. He himself thought about it for several days before he figured out how to drive this extremely antique biplane.

"Father, don't worry, I've tried flying quietly several times, it's very safe. This Aiko DH4 bomber can continue to fly in the sky for nearly four hours, and nothing can go wrong." Wang Mo vowed to ensure that although he was actually not very confident about the performance of antique aircraft of this era.

The officers discussed the Eco DH4 bomber for a long time, and then Wang Mo stood up and said loudly: "Everyone has seen that there are two seats on this plane. In other words, in addition to me, the pilot, you can also bring an extra person to the sky. Does anyone have the courage to stand up and volunteer to take the plane I drove to the sky and conduct a bombing exercise?"

What? Do you still need people to go to heaven with you?

The officers suddenly started to discuss, and basically did not dare to respond to Wang Mo's words. They shrank their heads and prayed in their hearts not to be selected. In their opinion, this bird plane is really unreliable. Even if it barely flew into the sky, they would probably have to fall head-on. If they fell from the sky, they would know that their lives would definitely not be saved.

No one stood up voluntarily for a long time, which disappointed Wang Mo. He originally hoped that one or two officers who could accept new things and new ideas would appear.

Just as Wang Mo was about to give up the recruitment of officers who voluntarily participated and drove the plane to the sky alone, a young officer stood up: "Young marshal, I am willing to fly to the sky!"

Wang Mo was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! What is this student called?"

The young officer trotted to Wang Mo and saluted: "I am humble to Chen Yifan!"

Wang Mo replied with a military salute and said with a smile: "Then get on the plane. I promise, this will definitely be a flight journey that you will never forget for your life!"

Flying at high altitude is very cold, especially when the pilots should pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise the freezing of the limbs will affect the flight operation. Wang Mo and Chen Yifan wore special flight clothes prepared early in the morning and windproof goggles before boarding the plane.

The plane engine started, and huge noise sounded, and the propeller began to rotate rapidly, rolling up waves of airflow, which surprised the dozens of officers next to him.

The plane slowly started and gradually accelerated along the simple runway. The speed increased to a certain extent. The plane began to float gradually off the ground, and finally glided higher and rushed into the sky.

"Oh my God, it's flying, it's flying!"

"How is this possible!"

"Oh my god, this thing can really fly in the sky like a bird, it's incredible!"

...

The officers exclaimed endlessly, raised their heads and held up their telescopes to watch the planes flying in the sky, and were shocked. This was a feeling of a worldview being broken.

The Eco DH4 bomber is a two-seat biplane daytime bomber designed by the UK during World War I. The designer was the British Geoffrey Didier. It has a range of up to 3 hours and 45 minutes, a maximum range of 770 kilometers and a combat radius of more than 360 kilometers. It is equipped with a 77mm caliber Vicks machine gunner's head operated by a pilot, and a 77mm caliber Lewis machine gun operated by a rear-seat machine gunner pilot. It can also carry two 230-pound (100 kg) bombs or four 112-pound (51 kg) bombs.

With its excellent performance, the Eco DH4 bomber quickly became a multi-purpose all-weather bomber, known as the most successful bomber in World War I.

Although the Aiko DH4 bomber has excellent performance, Wang Mo did not have any difficult movements of the pilot, and simply hovered back and forth over the military academy. Every time he flew past the military academy, it always caused bursts of exclamations from the ground personnel.

"Class Chen Yifan, how do you feel?" Wang Mo shouted loudly at Chen Yifan behind him.

I don’t know if it was a surprise or a fear on Chen Yifan’s face, but he looked down from time to time, and his voice trembled: “Young Marshal, we are really... really in the sky. This is really... it’s so incredible!”

Wang Mo laughed: "This is the magic of technology! Student Chen Yifan, let you see the intuitive destructive power of technology!"

Wang Mo controlled the bomber to fly towards the target that had been arranged before. The target drew a huge circle with white lime powder on the top of the barren mountain, which was very easy to recognize. Especially in the air, it can be said that the location of the target can be seen at a glance from a distance.

The plane flew over the barren mountain, and two 230-pound bombs slid across the air through a beautiful parabola, steadily hitting the top of the barren mountain.

Boom-boom-

A huge explosion sounded, and a burst of smoke rose up, covering the barren mountain.

After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and two huge pits several meters deep were left on the edge of the white circle, and the bombing was amazing.

The officers of the military academy were shocked by observing the huge power of the plane's bombing through the telescope.

"The power of this bombing is very great, amazing, really amazing!"

"If there was a local artillery position on the top of the barren mountain, I'm afraid the entire army would have been wiped out at this time!"

"I don't know how far this plane can fly. If it can fly far, wouldn't it be possible to fly to other people's military camps for bombing at any time?"

"It seems that the new weapon mentioned by the Young Marshal changes the tactics and tactics of war, what he said is true!"

...

Wang Haoshan was also extremely shocked at this time. He couldn't help but imagine the scene of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army being equipped on board on a large scale. Think about it, dozens or hundreds of planes flew into the enemy camp like locusts to throw bombs. How happy it would be to make one's side and panic!

After completing the bombing, Wang Mo controlled the bomber to land on the simple runway on the military academy playground.

sir — sir —

A sound of tires rubbing against the ground continued to sound, and the Eco DH4 bomber gradually reduced the gliding speed using the friction between the tires and the ground, and finally stopped at the end of the runway.

As soon as he jumped off the plane, the military academy officers had not yet surrounded him, Wang Mo heard Chen Yifan vomiting while leaning against the plane, but he still insisted: "Young Marshal, I want to fly the plane. Teach me how to fly the plane!"

Wang Mo turned his head, looked at Chen Yifan with an expectant look, and smiled and said, "It is a good thing to learn to fly a plane. I not only support it, but also encourage it!"

Chen Yifan was happy when he heard this, and then Wang Mo said: "But, flying a plane is not an easy thing. Do you know the basic principles of flying this plane? Do you know what knowledge you need to use to control an aircraft? Do you know what kind of harsh training a pilot needs to undergo?"

Chen Yifan looked firm: "As long as I can fly the plane into the sky, no matter how difficult it is, I am willing to learn it!"

Wang Mo thought for a while and said, "If you really want to be a pilot, go to school first, at least you have to complete the middle school courses of new education. In the future, I will establish an aviation flight school that specializes in training pilots. When you sign up, you will naturally have the opportunity to become a pilot." After that, he ignored Chen Yifan and turned around and left.

Technical troops like pilots are not just a little bit of a big-headed soldiers. They have not received a considerable degree of new education, at least they have graduated from middle school, otherwise they will not be qualified to become pilots at all. This is one of the reasons why Wang Mo spared a lot of money to promote education in Daxing in southern Sichuan.

The Aiko DH4 bomber was pulled out for bombing exercises this time, mainly to open up the knowledge and horizons of the officers of the military academy, so that they can gradually adapt to a brand new form of war. Otherwise, Wang Mo would train an outstanding air force in the future. I am afraid that the senior officers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would not know how to use it on the battlefield.

While the military academy officers were looking around the Aiko DH4 bomber, Wang Haoshan approached Wang Mo and asked with anticipation: "Mo'er, can this plane be equipped with dozens of aircraft for our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army?"

Having seen the power of bombers, it is not surprising that Wang Haoshan has such an idea.

Wang Mo shook his head: "Father, this may not work. There is basically no possibility of this in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Haoshan's expectation was stagnant and he asked, "Why? If it's a matter of money, even if I sell it, I'll make it for you."

Wang Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Father, this is not a matter of money. Even if we have money to buy the plane back, we don't drive it. This pilot is not something that can be trained in one or two months. It is definitely not something that a pilot can do if he wants to learn to fly a plane into the sky in a short time."

Speaking of this, Wang Haoshan couldn't help even if he wanted to fly the troops. He knew at a glance that the plane was not something that his generation could do, so he could only ask Wang Mo to train the pilot as soon as possible.
