The development of the booster went smoothly, after all, it was nothing more than adding two launch tubes to the tail of the missile.
If there is any difficulty in this, it is that the changes in the front and rear counterweights will make the missile unstable in flight.
However, this difficulty was quickly solved with the efforts of He Zhimin, an expert in mathematics and airplanes.
He Zhimin did not simply increase the weight of the missile head to solve this problem as others thought.
"For the problem of boosters, adding weight to achieve balance cannot be solved!" He Zhimin said: "First, increasing weight will add extra burden to the missile, which is contrary to our goal of increasing the range of the missile. Secondly, it is more important.
Yes, if we add weight to the head, will it become light-headed when the booster runs out of fuel and is finally thrown away? Will it have to be re-weighted at that time?"
He Zhimin's solution is to use the angle of the missile's wings to dynamically balance it. Of course, this requires automatic control of the missile by Chen Jiefeng's program... So when it comes to going in the direction of high technology, it cannot be separated from anything.
Computer, otherwise, just this small problem will cause big trouble or even be impossible to solve.
But now, Chen Jiefeng just needs to change the wiring of the program. In addition, the moment the booster is thrown away, the angle of the missile wing must immediately adapt to the new weight of the missile. This is also automatically completed by the program, otherwise it will be very difficult.
The missile may lose control because the weight change is too great and the missile cannot be adjusted in time.
With these developments in the institute, Wang Xuexin dared to reassign the training tasks to Li Yunlong.
"You can train at a range of 20 kilometers!" Wang Xuexin said: "This distance is enough for you to stop enemy fighters!"
"Enough! Of course it's enough!" Li Yunlong chuckled: "It's almost two minutes. If it's not enough, I think those missile soldiers will stop working and go home to plant sweet potatoes!"
Of course Li Yunlong didn't know that this actually had nothing to do with the missile soldiers. The soldiers controlling the missiles were just responding to the orders of their superiors and whether they could intercept the missiles depended more on whether the radar could observe the target in time and whether the commander could accurately select the target.
and give prompt orders.
However, if there is a reaction time of more than one minute, it can indeed be stopped... This time is very short for humans, but it is sufficient for computers.
The only question is whether the Japanese fighter planes can destroy the Eighth Route Army's air defense system at a long distance and accurately.
What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Naosaburo Okabe on the other side was also worried about this matter.
The combination of BF109 and PK75MM cannon is not as simple as imagined.
The PK75MM cannon is actually derived from Hans' PAK40L anti-tank gun. This thing weighs 11.8 kilograms with just one shell.
Its performance still makes Naosaburo Okabe quite satisfied, because it can penetrate a 130MM thick steel plate at a distance of 1 kilometer.
With an armor-piercing capability of 130MM, even if this is a new type of tank that can fight the Eighth Route Army head-on, it will be effortless!
However, the armor-piercing ability is sufficient, and there are many problems that arise after installing it.
The first problem is being overweight.
However, this problem was relatively easy to solve. Naosaburo Okabe ordered that everything that could be dismantled be removed, such as cannons used in air combat, machine guns, and rider protection. In the end, only a machine gun at the nose of the machine was left.
.
This caused the Japanese pilots to stand up and protest:
"If we only have one machine gun left, how can we fight against the Eighth Route Army's 'La 5'?"
"Are we required to use that 75mm anti-tank gun to shoot down enemy aircraft?"
"That's almost like seeking death!"
…
Even Oshiro Sanji also suggested: "Your Excellency, General, our army's BF109s are capable of fighting against the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to install all of them with anti-tank cannons and use them to attack enemy tanks?"
We can use other fighter planes to install anti-tank guns, and use the BF109 to engage in air combat with enemy fighters..."
"Ochito-kun!" Naosaburo Okabe interrupted Ochido Sanji: "Can this mission be completed with other fighters?"
Without waiting for Sanji Okito to answer, Naosaburo Okabe continued: "What we need is a fighter plane that can fly faster than the enemy's 'La 5'. If we use other fighters with anti-tank guns to deal with the enemy,
tank, then the Eighth Route Army only needs to dispatch the 'La 5' to protect the airspace where its tank is located, and all our aircraft will not be able to get close!"
Oshiro Sanji was speechless because he knew that Naosaburo Okabe was right. None of the other fighters, including the "Zero Fighter" and "Feiyan", were faster than the Eighth Route Army's "La 5". If
If you install a heavy anti-tank gun under the belly of the aircraft, it will be like a target for the Eighth Route Army's "La 5".
Especially the "Zero War"... In order to reduce the weight, the structure of this thing is very fragile. If it is equipped with an anti-tank gun, I am afraid it will disintegrate in the air as soon as it accelerates!
Therefore, only Hans’ BF109 can take on this important task.
Then Naosaburo Okabe analyzed: "As for what the pilots said, leaving only one machine gun and no protection is seeking death. Don't they understand? The Eighth Route Army's 'La 5' can shoot them down with missiles at a long distance."
, the machine guns and protection they are obsessed with will not have any effect!"
Naosaburo Okabe is right about this, but he is not entirely right.
Wang Xuexin upgraded the air-to-air missiles, the purpose of which is to make air combat jump out of the air combat method of chasing each other and shooting down enemy aircraft with machine guns, so driver protection and machine guns are indeed of little use.
He also said "not entirely true" because the Eighth Route Army's air-to-air missiles had just been developed at this time and were not perfect. It was still possible for the BF109 to rely on its speed advantage to approach the "La 5" and use machine guns to dogfight, just like the last time in Duolun County
Same as air combat.
Therefore, the worries of the Japanese pilots are justified. Especially after the installation of a huge anti-tank gun, the flexibility of the BF109 is weakened and the speed is also reduced, which makes them very uneasy.
But Naosaburo Okabe's decision did not allow anyone to refute it. He ordered: "All pilots' training will focus on enemy tanks. During war, they must use their speed advantage to bypass enemy fighters and avoid air battles with them!
"
"Yes!" Sanji Ojoto responded helplessly.
Okabe Naosaburo's order almost gave up the fight for air supremacy with the Eighth Route Army.
What Oshiro Sanji didn't know was that at this time, Naosaburo Okabe had discovered that the possibility of the Eighth Route Army attacking Fengtian was becoming more and more likely.
What he was thinking about was how to defend Fengtian... If he could use fighter planes to knock out the Eighth Route Army's tanks, what would happen even if he lost air supremacy? Can the Eighth Route Army use air supremacy to defeat Fengtian?
