Wang Xuexin stayed at the headquarters for a total of two days. During these two days, he discussed with the leader and chief of staff how to organize troops to attack Fengtian.
In fact, this is the purpose of the chief asking Wang Xuexin to come to the headquarters for a meeting. Otherwise, all he needs to do about BF109 is send a telegram to Wang Xuexin.
But Wang Xuexin basically had no time to discuss attacking Fengtian, let alone plan.
The reason is that the most important issue of air supremacy has not been solved. Everything else is empty talk. Let alone attack Fengtian. Whether we can hold Chifeng and the area west of Nuruerhu Mountain is a problem. If we don't do it well, we will be attacked by the Japanese.
Call me back to the customs.
Wang Xuexin has no doubt that the Japs own the BF109, because the Japs have this industrial foundation. The BF109 and the "Feiyan" fighter jets even use the same engine, both are Mercedes-Benz DB601, but the Japs' technology is not as good as the Han's.
There is a gap between what Sri Lanka has copied and what Hans has copied.
But if the Japanese can get the BF109 drawings and even the mechanics from Hans... mass-producing the BF109 is just a matter of capital investment and time.
Wang Xuexin had no thoughts, but the leader and chief of staff planned the whole process meticulously, and they repeatedly played the pros and cons on the sand table.
Wang Xuexin thought, this is probably the difference between strategy and tactics.
The chief and chief of staff formulate strategies. They must consider every possibility and prepare for it. Wang Xuexin does it more at the tactical level. Once something gets stuck, he will feel like he is choking in his throat.
Can't get down.
At the same time, Wang Xuexin also admired the mentality and determination of the leader and chief of staff. They actually made a plan to attack Fengtian as if nothing had happened, even though they knew that the Japanese were already producing BF109, and they were very dedicated.
What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that the chief actually intended to use this incident to provoke him.
When Wang Xuexin was not present, the chief of staff said to the chief: "Chief, Comrade Wang Xuexin seems to be out of shape!"
The commander smiled slightly and said: "With the Japanese's new fighter plane pressing down on his head, can he be in good condition?"
"So you've seen it a long time ago?" the chief of staff was a little surprised.
"Can you not see it?" the chief replied: "In the past, Xiao Dongbei was as smart as a fish in the water. He would suddenly come up with several ideas to scare others! Now Xiao Dongbei...
My belly is almost turned upside down!"
"Then Chief, what are you..."
The leader smiled and explained: "Put some pressure on this guy, let him understand that everything is ready and all he needs is Dongfeng. Whether he can capture Fengtian depends on whether he can come up with something that can overwhelm the Japanese's new fighter planes!"
Only then did the chief of staff understand the chief's intention, but then he frowned again: "But chief, fighter planes are not something you can just use your brain to come up with a few ideas. Our reality is there, and our 'L5'
'It's pretty good that the fighter can fight like this!"
"I know!" The chief nodded: "Comrade Wang Xuexin's performance is very good. According to common sense, any request we have can be said to be harsh! But Chief of Staff, this is a war. War cannot be analyzed according to common sense. It is realistic.
Difficulties are before us, and we must overcome them to achieve victory, and the only one who can overcome this difficulty is Comrade Wang Xuexin!"
The chief of staff could not help but remain silent.
There is no problem with what the chief said. This is the requirement of the battlefield and reality for Wang Xuexin, not the chief.
The problem lies there, either attack Fengtian or not. To attack Fengtian, we must solve the problem of air supremacy, or at least not be inferior to the Japanese and have the ability to fight with their new fighter jets in the air.
Wang Xuexin didn't think as much as the leader and chief of staff did. He was always thinking about the fighter planes on the way back to Taiyuan.
The most likely one is to upgrade "Pull 5" to "Pull 7"!
Mao Xiong used the "La 7" to compete with Hans' BF109. Although the speed of the "La 7" was only increased by tens of kilometers per hour... the fastest speed of the "La 7" at sea level was 46 kilometers faster than the "La 5".
, 35 kilometers faster than the "Pull 5" at high altitude.
Although this data is not large and is still not as good as BF107, the difference is negligible, and "La 7" has lost 82 kilograms in weight due to the use of more advanced manufacturing processes.
With a weight loss of 82 kilograms, the fighter's flexibility is on another level, which is equivalent to the difference between the BF109 and the Japanese "Feiyan".
Import equipment directly from Mao Xiong?
It's not impossible, after all, it would be beneficial for Mao Xiong to ask Wang Xuexin for help, and it would be beneficial for Mao Xiong to fight the Japanese at the same time, so Mao Xiong would probably give it to him.
But from equipment transportation to factory establishment to production of "La 7", it will take several months anyway!
How could the Japanese give the Eighth Route Army so long to prepare?
At that time, I was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would be compressed to Zhangjiakou and the fighting would begin again!
Import "La 7" directly from Mao Xiong?
This is even more impossible!
Mao Xiong's "La 7" only successfully tested in February this year and was officially put into service in September... How could Mao Xiong sell it to the Eighth Route Army if Mao Xiong didn't even produce it?
In fact, there was another reason why Wang Xuexin did not want to take this road. He believed that the Eighth Route Army should make a breakthrough in fighter aircraft, otherwise it would probably fall behind the Japanese.
This is not to say how powerful the Japs' research and development capabilities are, but that the Japs have the help of Hans at this time. In addition, the Japs have an industrial foundation, especially many technologies that are inherited from Hans, so the Japs can quickly imitate Hans's.
equipment.
It is true that the Japanese in history did not imitate the BF109, but the Japanese in history created the "Qiushui" fighter jet.
This thing is actually Hans's ME163. The Japanese used an I-29 submarine to transport the body and data.
But because it was developed too late, it ultimately failed to play a role on the battlefield.
Now the situation is different. Who can guarantee that the Japanese will not introduce the ME163 in advance when they introduce the BF109?
ME163 uses a rocket engine, and its speed can reach 943 kilometers per hour.
Even if Wang Xuexin racked his brains to upgrade the "Pull 5" to "Pull 7", can it compete with the ME163 in the air?
At that time, the speed could not match that of ME163, and the range could not match that of "Feiyan" and "Zero War". So all the efforts were in vain, and we were always behind the Japanese every step of the way.
This is the most critical thing, and it is also what gives Wang Xuexin a headache.
The Eighth Route Army is far inferior to the Japanese in terms of industrial base and scale. Although the Eighth Route Army has the assistance of Mao Xiong and Yingjiang, its production and imitation equipment are far inferior to the Japanese, whether in terms of speed, quality or scale. This is the Eighth Route Army's flaw.
Moreover, the industrial base must be developed step by step. There is no shortcut, and it cannot be solved by money and technology. It requires accumulation and time, and only after it develops to a certain level can it be natural!
