As soon as Wang Xuexin heard what Sun Erwei said, he understood what Yingjiang was planning.
I wanted to learn Wang Xuexin's combat model, but I was worried that this model was not mature enough, so I asked the Eighth Route Army to understand this tactic first, and then Yingjiang would consider whether to use it on a large scale based on the situation.
Wang Xuexin disagreed with this.
Just learn it, this tactic will be used on the battlefield before long, and it will no longer be a secret. Wang Xuexin just brought it up a little earlier.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army will have to use this tactic to fight the Japanese for a long time in the future, so it doesn't make much difference whether Yingjiang mentions this request or not.
If Yingjiang wanted to see whether this tactic was useful, he would hope that the Eighth Route Army would use it on the battlefield as soon as possible or more... Then, this time Yingjiang would not be as constipated as before in terms of aircraft reinforcements.
You only come out a little for half a day, right?
This is also good for the Eighth Route Army. To put it bluntly, it is a win-win situation.
However, Wang Xuexin did not agree in a hurry. He thought to himself: Yingjiang is anxious now, and they want to see the results as soon as possible.
If we don't take this opportunity to blackmail Yingjiang, can we still be regarded as soldiers led by Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment?
So Wang Xuexin was happy in his heart, but put on a troubled look on his face and said: "Sun Erwei, this is not easy to handle!"
"Is there any problem?" Sun Erwei asked.
Wang Xuexin nodded with a heavy expression, frowned and said: "As everyone knows, rockets are not very accurate, and the hit rate is even lower when fired from an airplane. We can achieve such great results this time."
The truth is that there is a lot of luck involved!”
Sun Erwei nodded in agreement. From his point of view, it was indeed the case. What Wang Xuexin said was the truth. Especially according to the explosive points reported back by intelligence personnel, some even exploded several kilometers away...it was only ten kilometers in total.
It can actually deviate from the target by several kilometers. No one would believe it if it was not a bit lucky.
Wang Xuexin continued: "If we have a lot of rockets, there is nothing to say... Even if Yingjiang doesn't ask us, we will be happy to send rockets to the devils. The problem is that we are slow in making rockets and have low output. This batch
More than two hundred rockets have been produced by our Eighth Route Army arsenal for several months. Therefore, I am very willing to fire according to your army's request, but..."
There is no need to say more about the next words. No matter how stupid Sun Erwei is, he can understand clearly: the Eighth Route Army's output cannot keep up, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and there are no rockets to attack even if she wants to.
This put Sun Erwei in a dilemma. He said: "Wang, how to solve this? In the past, before the Huaxia Highway was blocked, we could still provide ammunition for your army. But now, we can only use the hump route.
It’s definitely not appropriate to transport urgently needed supplies and ammunition!”
Of course Wang Xuexin had considered this. He pretended to think about it for a while and then said: "That's true. I also know the difficulties of your army. However, I also want every plane to be loaded with rockets to bomb the Japanese every day. This is a problem.
Hundreds of aircraft, one aircraft carrying 18 bombs, would require nearly two thousand bombs in one battle... This is beyond the capabilities of the Eighth Route Army."
"But this is what they want!" Sun Erwei said: "Wang, if you want to get more planes, you must do it."
Sun Erwei kicked the ball to Wang Xuexin.
However, there is some truth in Sun Erwei's statement. After all, airplanes are much more expensive than rockets.
Wang Xuexin pondered for a while and then said: "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Wang Xuexin said: "It's like this. There are two things in rockets that are particularly difficult to produce. One is the propellant and the other is the fuze. If you can solve these two problems..."
Sun Erwei's eyes lit up. Fuzes and propellants were not a problem for Yingjiang. At the same time, the volume and weight of these two items individually were not large. The transport plane could produce many rockets in one transport, which was quite impressive.
A solution.
Thinking about it, Sun Erwei nodded and said, "I'll ask the colonel to see what they mean."
Just as Sun Erwei was about to leave, Wang Xuexin stopped him again: "Sun Erwei, there is another question. I hope to solve the problem of the accuracy of rockets. You know, the higher the accuracy, the greater the results we can achieve in this kind of warfare...
…”
"Accuracy?" Sun Erwei looked confused: "This is a rocket. Do you have any way to improve its accuracy?"
No wonder Sun Erwei has this expression.
Rockets have long existed in developed countries in Europe and the United States. They have not been used in military equipment in batches. The main reason is that their accuracy is not high enough to meet the requirements for battlefield use.
On the other hand, Wang Xuexin also emphasized again and again in China...that precision should not be emphasized for rockets, but "quantity" should be emphasized. If the quantity is enough, there will always be a few hits.
Although Sun Erwei had not been in the Eighth Route Army for a long time, he had heard these words about Wang Xuexin. At this time, Wang Xuexin considered accuracy, which surprised him.
"How can there be a way?" Wang Xuexin laughed: "I actually just want to try it. Don't we and Yingjiang also have Skinner's research team? So I want to think about it, but China is short of parts and wants to try it.
There’s no way to even try it!”
Sun Erwei did not take Wang Xuexin's words seriously at first.
Because he was thinking that a small battalion commander in China could solve a problem that Yingjiang and even other countries in the world could not solve?
impossible!
But then I thought about it, Wang Xuexin is different from others. He has developed so many pieces of equipment that he can't even count them. Moreover, these pieces of equipment all have one characteristic, that is, they are simple, practical, and often extremely lethal.
For example, napalm was something that scientists had never thought of or developed, but it was invented by the battalion commander.
Therefore, Sun Erwei asked: "So, what do you need?"
Wang Xuexin thought for a while and replied: "Currently... we need a batch of military gyroscopes!"
Sun Erwei's face immediately showed some surprise. Gyroscopes can be regarded as quite advanced things in this era. Unexpectedly, Wang Xuexin, a Tubal, also knew about it.
But when I think about it, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Wang Xuexin is a research and development personnel in the Eighth Route Army, so this thing is no longer a secret among scientists.
Therefore, Sun Erwei nodded and said: "No problem, I will mention this request to my superiors!"
Watching Sun Erwei leave, Wang Xuexin breathed a sigh of relief, as the matter seemed to have been smoothed over with this excuse.
In fact, Wang Xuexin did not want to improve the accuracy of rockets, which does not make much sense.
Wang Xuexin took this into consideration... At this time, Hans's V1 missiles were about to come out, and others still knew nothing about it. The Eighth Route Army must be prepared!
