After the pilot's ideological work is done, the next thing he has to face is the practical problem: how to face the Japanese "zero war".
Because of this matter, Principal Tang organized a meeting... Principal Tang is the person in charge of Wanxian Airport, and it is up to him to organize and coordinate such matters. Wang Xuexin only needs to consider one thing: how to fight the Japanese.
This is what the chief meant.
The purpose is not to let too many cumbersome matters such as logistics, coordination, personnel and other issues distract Wang Xuexin.
Therefore, it is really unclear whether Wang Xuexin is Principal Tang's assistant, or whether Principal Tang is Wang Xuexin's assistant.
The meeting gathered the backbone of pilots from both armies, including those from Yingjiang and those from China.
In addition to Major Doug and Li Yueying, the representatives of Eagle Sauce also include Alec...Alec represents the pilots who can directly fight the Japanese in air combat, that is, there are ten pilots who have been trained in air combat.
On the Chinese side, there is captain Wu Guozhi, plus two squadron leaders, Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng.
Principal Tang distributed the documents in his hands to everyone and said: "This is the performance data comparison chart of the two fighter jets we just made, and there is also some information from Yingjiang!"
The information that Yingjiang sent was obtained from Sun Erwei, including the tactics commonly used by the Japanese in the "zero battle", formations, and the experience summed up by pilots who participated in the battle.
These are very necessary, because even pilots like Alec who have had air combat training, without exception, they have no experience with "Zero Combat", and most of them have not even experienced actual combat, they have only received training.
Li Yueying is one of them for training in this area.
Therefore, the experience summed up by actual combat pilots is a kind of "treasure book" for them.
Li Yueying seemed a little excited. When she was excited, her cheeks would turn red, as if she had applied rouge.
As soon as she received the document, she directly turned to the pilot's experience summary section to check. As for the previous data, she probably already knew it by heart.
Wang Xuexin just flipped through them and then put them aside.
This is not to say that these data are unimportant.
In fact, Wang Xuexin also thought this information was very important, and he even asked Sun Erwei to get it from Yingjiang.
but……
These are for pilots who fly into the sky to fight the Japanese. Wang Xuexin doesn't see much need to read these materials. What he wants to solve is a strategic issue.
Major Doug didn't read the information either. As the commander of the Yingjiang pilots, he also wanted to solve strategic issues first rather than tactics.
"So, how do you plan to deal with this situation?" Major Doug asked.
Wang Xuexin noticed that Major Doug used "you" when he said this.
It was obvious that although he had done ideological work for the Yingjiang pilots, he did not want to send the Yingjiang pilots into the air to face a "zero war".
It was only at this time that he hoped to clearly distinguish responsibilities with the Eighth Route Army, so he used "you".
Wang Xuexin replied: "Major, I am negotiating with General Doolittle."
Major Doug was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you mean? Do you want General Doolittle to change his mind?"
"You can say that!" Wang Xuexin nodded.
Major Doug laughed: "You won't succeed!"
Major Doug has his own reasons for thinking so, because as mentioned before, pilots at this time are precious resources to Yingjiang. No matter what aspects he considers, Yingjiang cannot send pilots into the sky to die.
.
At this time, sending these second-line pilots into the air to fight the enemy, especially if the opponent is a "zero fight", seems to Major Doug to be a death blow.
"I have to be responsible for my men!" Major Doug added: "They need more training!"
Wang Xuexin admitted that what Major Doug said was reasonable, and Wang Xuexin also told the truth: "Doolittle wants to hear your opinion."
Major Doug's face was a little nervous at first, but he completely relaxed after hearing this: "Well, Wang! You know what advice I will give!"
"Yes, I know!" Wang Xuexin stared at Major Doug and said, "But I'm not sure!"
"You mean..." Major Doug looked at Wang Xuexin in amusement: "You want to convince me? Just try. However, I have to remind you, Wang! I am very stubborn!"
"This is not a matter of stubbornness." Wang Xuexin replied: "I don't want to convince you. I just want you to think about it. If this continues, what's the point of your being here?"
Major Doug was quite surprised. He did not expect Wang Xuexin to say this. Wang Xuexin kicked the ball directly to Major Doug's feet and asked him to consider how to solve this problem.
However, Major Doug had to admit that Wang Xuexin was right. There would only be one result if this continued, and that was that all fighter planes would not dare to take off, because as soon as they took off, they would be intercepted by the patrolling "Zero War".
If all the fighter planes dare not take off, what's the point of having the Yingjiang pilots here?
What's the point of Yingjiang's reinforcement of 100 fighter planes to the Eighth Route Army?
What’s the point of training Chinese pilots with Eagle Sauce?
In other words, Eagle Sauce is doing useless work.
If there is any meaning, it is to drag the enemy's 12 "Zero Fighters" here.
But at the same time, didn't the 12 Japanese "Zero Fighters" keep the 100 Hawker 81s of Yingjiang at the airport and not dare to take off?
After thinking about it, Major Doug replied: "Maybe we have another way, Wang! Just like the suggestion you gave to Mao Xiong, our fighters can fight without air superiority."
"You mean to carry rockets to bomb the enemy?"
"Yes!"
Wang Xuexin nodded. Major Doug was not stupid enough to think of this.
This is also one of Wang Xuexin’s ideas.
Since it is difficult to compete with the Japanese for air supremacy, why not choose to fight the Japanese at another level?
For example, let Hawke 81 be dedicated to ground attack.
"I do plan to do this, Major!" Wang Xuexin said, nodding towards Principal Tang.
Principal Tang understood, and then sent another information, saying: "This is the battle plan drawn up by Battalion Commander Wang. Our targets will be the enemy's warehouses, train stations, tunnels, military camps and other military targets. The tactics are just like ours."
It’s similar to the military’s sneak attack on Linfen Airport, but it’s a night operation!”
Major Doug took the document, looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "This is how it should be, Wang! I agree with both hands, this is how we should do it!"
"But!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Major, I don't think we can avoid air combat with the enemy in this way. On the one hand, it is due to strategic needs. The purpose of our army's aviation brigade is to defend Yuncheng. On the other hand, I have reason to believe that the enemy
