Wang Xuexin didn't understand the meaning of this at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized...
The combat principle of anti-aircraft guns is that the gunner determines the altitude and speed of the enemy fighter plane, and then adjusts the delay lead as quickly as possible.
Even if the delay fuse can be adjusted in place for the first time, the detonation time will be relatively delayed and more likely to attack the middle and rear of the entire fleet... unless the gunner is very experienced and can predict the pilot's flight path, or is firing solid bullets
Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are either equipped with what Wang Xuexin calls "proximity fuses."
Otherwise, it would be difficult for anti-aircraft guns to hit a group of small aircraft flying at low altitudes.
After Wang Xuexin said this, Major Doug completely relaxed.
"Very good!" Major Doug said: "You thought it through very well, Wang! In fact, the plan is almost impeccable. You did everything you could! The rest can only be left to God.
Got it!"
This is indeed the case.
Wang Xuexin used manual methods to calculate the fighter plane's route and even the launch location and altitude in advance. In this way, the difficulty of the fighter plane can almost be said to be reduced to the level of a "fool plane"... They only need to follow the signs of the fire.
Walk, then hold the height at a certain moment and press the launch button.
As a result, what was originally an extremely dangerous, extremely difficult, and even impossible mission was transformed into a mission that even pilots who had just graduated from aviation school could complete.
Wang Xuexin also thought that what happened next was just like what Major Doug said, that the next step would be "man's plan and God's success".
But unexpectedly, I encountered some problems later.
Compared with other matters, the installation of rockets has become a trivial matter... because it is almost just moving the rocket launcher to the aircraft pylon.
If anything is different, it is that the rocket launcher mounted on the aircraft pylon has five guide rails.
There are five rails, each with a rocket on top and bottom, so ten can be loaded.
There is a rocket launcher on each wing, so each aircraft can carry twenty.
In fact, I can only carry eighteen pieces because the connection between the rack and the guide rail is missing one piece.
However, this does not affect the overall strategy. The reduction from two hundred to one hundred and eighty is not a big difference.
Even if time is sufficient, these aircraft can carry more rockets.
The reason is that there is a pylon on the belly of the Hawk 81, which is usually used to carry auxiliary fuel tanks.
But on the one hand, it was because there was insufficient time to produce more rocket launchers, and on the other hand, there was concern that the rocket launchers with a certain height and width under the belly would affect takeoff, so for safety reasons, they were not installed.
Everything was carried out step by step, and everything was ready in just five days.
However, at this moment, what Wang Xuexin didn't expect was that something went wrong with the pilot.
It's not that the Yingjiang pilots were unwilling to fly. Ever since they agreed to the plan, especially after hearing the detailed plan and knowing that there wasn't much danger, each and every one of them was eager to show off their skills to the Japanese.
The problem was the injured pilot.
That evening, Wang Xuexin was observing the sky...
The reason why we need to observe the sky color is because the combat plan is related to the sky color, that is, flying along the Luliang Mountains when it is dark in the early morning, and it will be dawn when we cross the Luliang Mountains.
This time point must be grasped very accurately.
Therefore, in the past few days, Wang Xuexin has been recording the time when the sun sets, the time when it gets dark, and the time until dawn and sunrise the next day.
Based on this, Wang Xuexin can roughly calculate the sunrise time on the day of the mission.
Of course, it is unpredictable if there is rainy weather.
However, it has always been sunny and cloudless in Shanxi recently, and it even snows late...
Wang Xuexin believes that there is a reason for this. The severe drought of 1942 in history did not come suddenly in 42 years, but first appeared in the winter of the previous year...Snow is actually precipitation, but it turns into snow because of the cold weather.
Without snowflakes, the clouds in the sky are just collections of water vapor.
But now, none of these things can be seen, which seems to indicate a severe drought next year.
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, once this severe drought comes, no one knows how many people will die.
Just then, Li Yueying came up.
"Battle Commander Wang!" Li Yueying was a little anxious: "Sam has a fever, he may not be able to carry out the mission the day after tomorrow!"
Sam was the Yingjiang pilot who was injured in the Japanese bombing. He only suffered minor injuries. A little flesh was scraped off his arm by shrapnel. He originally thought he would only need a bandage and it would be fine in a few days.
But I didn't expect... Yingjiang pilots have always lived in an environment with fewer bacteria. When they went to a place like the Eighth Route Army, where the sanitary conditions were relatively poor, and even loess flew all over the sky when the wind blew, their immunity declined, and not only did they die after a few days
He got better, but still had a high fever due to wound infection.
Wang Xuexin frowned. He had a high fever and couldn't even stand still, let alone fly a plane.
This is not a good thing.
Originally, the number of rocket bombs in the belt was reduced from 200 to 180. Now another plane cannot reach the sky, and there are 18 fewer rockets.
Compared with the 162 coins, the quantity of these 200 coins is quite different.
It would be fine if the attack could cause large-scale damage to the Japanese fighter planes, but what if it couldn't?
There was only this chance, and Wang Xuexin didn't dare to take the risk.
Li Yueying suggested: "We can remove his rockets and install them on the bellies of other aircraft!"
"It's too risky!" Wang Xuexin shook his head and rejected the idea.
If the size of the rocket launcher did not exceed the auxiliary fuel tank, Wang Xuexin would not object, but the fact is that it does.
"But... what other choices do we have?" Li Yueying asked.
Wang Xuexin thought for a while and replied: "Let the Chinese pilots come on!"
Li Yueying couldn't help but widen her eyes: "They have only conducted flight simulations, they are not even fully familiar with it..."
"That's enough!" Wang Xuexin said: "You pick one of them, I believe they can do it!"
Li Yueying hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Li Yueying finally chose Zhou Yuankai because he had been flying airplanes for a long time. Although he was flying a transport aircraft... Wu Guozhi had flown the "Gaodelong" fighter jet several times in actual combat, but he had not flown it for quite a while. The reason was that he was flying a transport aircraft.
After they go to heaven, they will be beaten down by the Japanese. There is no room for them to survive in the sky.
But things didn't end there.
After Wang Xuexin reported the matter to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong slapped the table and said: "Our pilot can fly, why didn't you tell me earlier? What's that called... Li Yueying's, change it for me! The last one is also up, and the last two are up.
