This is the flaw of manual operation of v1 missiles.
Although "manned missiles" have many advantages, such as being intelligent, maintaining a stable trajectory, and even being able to temporarily change targets, etc.
But everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages.
The gyroscope-controlled V1 missile does not require human judgment. It cannot be controlled or changed by humans the moment it is launched. Therefore, after it reaches the set distance, it will start to dive, fall headlong, and detonate.
If it is this kind of v1, it is very likely that Peishipo Airport no longer exists at this time.
This is not to say how accurate v1 is, but that v1 carries hundreds of kilograms of explosives, and the Japanese are not using inferior explosives from the Eighth Route Army, but high-performance Amatu explosives (that is, modern ammonium antimony explosives, Amatu explosives)
The picture shows the old name during World War II).
In addition, the amount of charge of the Jaap v1 is also significantly increased compared to the "high fire" of the Eighth Route Army.
This is because the Jiazi v1 uses "human control", which saves a series of control systems such as gyroscopes and air pressure systems... The control of the wings of v1 is controlled by the air pressure system. Simply put, several devices are installed in the body.
There is a pressure bottle with compressed air. If a certain component of the v1 flight system needs to be moved, the control system will open the valve of the pressure bottle under the guidance of the gyroscope.
Once the valve is opened, the air released from the air pressure bottle will create a pressure difference, which will generate force to adjust the wings.
At this time, the gyroscope and the control system based on the gyroscope were not light in weight. They were all replaced by a person weighing only more than 100 kilograms, so the weight was immediately increased by more than 200 kilograms.
More than two hundred kilograms were all added to explosives by the Japanese.
The result is that the Jaap v1 missile has a charge of thousands of kilograms.
In this regard, Okamura Neiji's consideration was right. He did not use it to increase the fuel and range of the V1 missile... The designed range of the V1 missile is 240 kilometers, which is enough for the Japanese.
One can imagine what would happen if a few of these V1 missiles hit Dishipo Airport.
You don’t need more, as long as 50 v1s have a hit rate of one-tenth, and 5 of them can hit the airport, that is, 5,000 kilograms of explosives will explode at the airport, and the airport is full of fighter planes, ammunition, fuel, etc., and there are also
There are trees…
The trees are left to provide some cover and camouflage.
In this case, chain explosions or serious fires are almost inevitable.
However, the Japs' v1 missiles are not this kind of v1. What the Japs launched was the "Human Fuck" v1.
Even if "Human Fuck" v1 arrived at the place according to the calculation, and looked down, it was pitch black and there was nothing underneath, so it definitely didn't dare to jump in and explode again.
The reason is that he only has one chance, and of course he can't come back if he loses his life after diving and exploding.
More importantly...the pilot still has room for choice and observation at this time.
This is determined by the long range of the v1 missile: the longest range of the v1 missile can reach 240 kilometers, but the distance from the launch point to the destination is only more than 150 kilometers.
Okamura Neiji also considered whether to use the excess fuel to modify explosives, but Kono Shinta stopped Okamura Neiji from doing so.
"Your Excellency, General!" Kono Shinta persuaded: "First of all, the fuel chamber is at the tail and the charge is at the front. If the fuel is greatly reduced and the charge is increased, it will directly affect the balance of v1. If we want to add more at the tail
If some compartments are used as the charge section, then the entire missile body will need to be redesigned and manufactured, and there is no guarantee of success."
Okamura Neji hesitated when he heard this.
Then Shinta Kono added: "What's more, the fuel itself is also a flammable gas, and it is even highly toxic. Even if there is excess fuel, when it explodes or burns on the target, it can have the same effect as explosives or even
Better than explosives, why not keep the current design?"
Upon hearing this, Neji Okamura nodded and agreed to Shinta Kono's suggestion.
After all, Neji Okamura is a layman in this regard. Although he knows what kind of equipment he needs in the general direction or can formulate strategies and tactics, when it comes to the lethality and stability of the equipment, he is not as good as Kono Makoto.
Such a thorough and comprehensive consideration from this weapons expert.
Obviously, Shinta Kono is right.
A V1 missile like this explodes and burns. If it can hit the enemy's airport, it will produce quite terrifying destructive power.
However, success is a failure and failure is a failure.
If the Japanese's V1 missile does not have enough fuel, that is, the range is only more than 100 kilometers, then the captain of the death squad, Captain Kojima, has only one choice, and that is to dive as planned, regardless of whether there are lights below.
Because he had no choice, he would run out of fuel if he went any further, and he would have to dive if he didn't.
The point is that Captain Kojima can choose.
He made a calculation in his mind... The fuel can support the v1 missile to fly 240 kilometers, but now it can only fly more than 150 kilometers, and there is still nearly 100 kilometers of fuel.
Don't rush, you still have a chance to find your target.
To be honest, not many people would choose to attack blindly in this situation. After all, you only have one life and one chance.
If you have time to observe clearly, then why not?
Then Kojima Yasuo was busy inside the missile. He opened the map and compass to find and calculate his position under the weak light of the flashlight.
To do this is difficult to do with a v1 missile in flight.
Then, Kojima Yasuo, who is proficient in this art, roughly knew through calculation that he had reached the target position and the target should be nearby.
But where is the goal?
Kojima Yasuo nervously looked out the observation holes on both sides.
At this time, some lights suddenly came into Kojima Hozuo's eyes. Kojima Hozuo took a closer look and saw that there was a large rectangular flat land below. Isn't it an airport or something?
Kojima Yasuo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly ordered on the radio: "Found the target, three o'clock direction, everyone turns!"
The radio station did not respond.
The radio station used by the Japs cannot be answered.
Because the v1 missile is a disposable item, the Japanese believe that it does not need to be equipped with advanced communication equipment, which is a shameful waste.
Therefore, the communication equipment on it is only the captain's. The other missiles only have one receiver, which can only listen.
In fact, some of the fifty pilots have already discovered that it is not an airport but Songluo Lake.
Because some of them have been to this lake...
Missile pilots were selected from the infantry, and before the Eighth Route Army built a complete Luliang Mountain defense line, it was not surprising that the Japanese raided several times deep into the hinterland of the base area, reaching Songluo Lake and camping here.
However, since they couldn't tell, they could only watch the missile turn towards Songluo Lake with confusion and surprise.
