It can also be seen from this that the deputy captain's military quality is quite good, because most people will not pay special attention to the range of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles at this time. They will only care about whether there are anti-aircraft missiles targeting their own fighters around them.
However, Matsuoka Yuki knew that the deputy captain was right. He could see clearly in the air that the launch point of the anti-aircraft missile was at least ten kilometers away from the fighter plane's position.
"No, no!" Matsuoka Yuki denied: "Those are still the same anti-aircraft missiles as before, continue your mission!"
What Matsuoka Yuki told was a lie.
He said those words before to warn his subordinates, but now he lied because he didn't want to panic his subordinates.
Then Yuki Matsuoka added: "At least leave the air defense system to me! I have discovered it!"
"Yes!" After hearing Matsuoka Yuki's words, his subordinates couldn't help but feel confident, and continued to fly the fighter plane towards their target.
In fact, Yuki Matsuoka did not discover the air defense system. This is still a lie.
However, Matsuoka Yuki was confident to find it because he had done a lot of research on the Eighth Route Army's air defense system... He had seen the air defense system that the empire bought from the stubborn army, and he also had a detailed understanding of the performance of the air defense system.
Because only in this way can he identify this thing from the air and blow it up.
Yuki Matsuoka knew that the radar of the air defense system came from Eagle Sauce, and also knew that its detection range was thirty kilometers.
If its detection range is thirty kilometers, but the range of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles is more than ten kilometers or even further, then the air defense system should be at about the same location as the anti-aircraft missiles.
Yuki Matsuoka's analysis is correct. The reason is that radar requires some redundant distance.
Because the process of air defense operations is like this: the radar detects the target, then transmits the target's orientation data to the anti-aircraft missile, and then the anti-aircraft missile can be launched.
It takes time to transmit data and prepare anti-aircraft missiles for launch, so the detection range of the radar of 30 kilometers and the range of the anti-aircraft missiles of 20 kilometers can be said to be just right.
This determines that radar and anti-aircraft missiles should be at the same distance level, otherwise there will be difficulties in coordinating the two.
From this perspective, Matsuoka Yuki locked the area he was looking for in and around the Eighth Route Army missile launch area.
Missiles were launched one after another, and the fighter planes they belonged to were destroyed one by one.
But Yuki Matsuoka didn't have time to pay attention to so much. He knew that only then could he succeed... His men's attack on the tank was actually attracting the firepower of anti-aircraft missiles, so that the Eighth Route Army had no time to pay attention to the fighter plane he was driving.
Finally, Yuki Matsuoka found the target in a pile of grass.
It should be a car. The Eighth Route Army hid it in civil engineering works and haystacks. If the exposed antenna hadn't been spinning outside, he wouldn't have been able to spot it.
Yuki Matsuoka didn't hesitate. He first pulled up the nose of the plane and then pushed the nose down fiercely, diving towards the target at an angle of nearly 90 degrees.
The reason for this method is that Matsuoka Yuki knows that the radar has a blind spot at the top. That is to say, the larger the angle, the less likely it is to detect itself, so it is safer for itself and the probability of destroying the target.
The bigger it is.
Sure enough, no missiles flew towards Yuki Matsuoka when he dived.
When reaching a certain distance, Yuki Matsuoka suddenly pressed the button, and the 75MM anti-tank cannon under the belly of the aircraft made a loud noise, and the aircraft body shook violently as the shells were fired.
Then I saw the radar antenna was smashed into pieces and flew aside!
"Success!" Yuki Matsuoka shouted excitedly as he pulled up the nose of the plane.
However, before he finished speaking, he discovered an anti-aircraft missile heading straight towards his fighter plane from the rear, and then there was a "boom"...
Yuki Matsuoka can be said to have hit the target or not.
Let's say he hit the target. He did.
Let's say he missed. What he hit was not a radar antenna, let alone an air defense system, but a wooden frame.
This was Li Yunlong's idea again.
It was only after Li Yunlong talked with the missile soldiers that he learned that Wang Xuexin and the research institute had been busy for a long time, just to increase the range of the missiles and solve the problem of the safety of the air defense system itself.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong said "hey" and said sarcastically: "I wonder how come this little Northeast has been living so long that it has caused such trouble for such a small problem!"
Zhao Gang listened and laughed and said: "Lao Li, don't brag to the sky. This increase in shooting range is a real benefit. It can shoot far and can defend against it. What's wrong with it?"
"Don't be afraid!" Li Yunlong replied: "If this battle breaks out, at least dozens of enemy planes will rush towards us, right? How do you know which one is attacking the air defense system? How can you do that?
Find it first and kill it?"
Zhao Gang was stunned as soon as he heard this.
Li Yunlong's words are crude, especially for fighter planes, 20 kilometers is only a matter of minutes. Even if the missile soldiers' reaction speed is indeed fast enough, when there are more enemy fighters... it is really hard to know which one is targeted.
Air defense system.
Then Zhao Gang asked: "So, what can you do?"
"Simple!" Li Yunlong raised his head and replied: "Isn't this thing just an antenna that rotates outside? As long as it looks like that!"
After saying that, he asked the carpenter to make more than a dozen radar antennas without any hesitation.
Because it is made according to the pattern and then covered with iron sheets, it is really hard to tell whether it is genuine or not from the appearance.
And for the convenience of transportation, these "radar antennas" can be disassembled... When disassembled, they are just some wooden strips, wooden sticks and iron sheets. They don't take up much space if they are thrown into the back compartment of a half-track car.
Assemble them when necessary, and rotate them by connecting them with bicycle chains and pedaling.
In order to be more deceptive, Li Yunlong also specially trained a group of soldiers who ride on "radar antennas".
Li Yunlong said this: "This radar antenna will not work if it rotates too fast or too slow, or if there is a pause in the middle. It will be easily discovered by the enemy, so it must be stepped on firmly and the speed of rotation must be as fast as
The real radar is exactly the same!”
It will be easy to do next. On the battlefield, you just need to bury these in the grass and only expose the antenna spinning outside... Even the Eighth Route Army itself can't tell which one is real and which one is fake.
Unfortunately, Yuki Matsuoka hit a fake "radar antenna", which also destined him to be destroyed.
He did nothing wrong, his entire strategy was sound, especially the final dive shot which was perfect.
His mistake was that he had not studied Li Yunlong and did not know how "cunning" his opponent was.
As for this battle, of course it ended with the annihilation of the Japanese fighter planes.
However, two of the Eighth Route Army's "Shermans" were destroyed.
From this we can also know that the Japanese modifications are indeed effective, but they are unable to fight against the Eighth Route Army's new air defense system.
