Wang Xuexin is actually trying to attack the east and attack the west.
While the airport sent a convoy to Zhaojiaba pretending to be a "high-fire" force, Yuan Chang Airport sent a real high-fire force secretly to a place called Baoping Township.
Zhaojiaba, Yuncheng and Baoping Township are three locations forming a triangle.
Zhaojiaba is more than 40 kilometers away from Yuncheng... This is a fake high-fire force, and it doesn't matter if it is farther away.
Baoping Township is more than 30 kilometers away from Yuncheng.
Zhaojiaba is about 60 kilometers away from Baoping Township.
Sixty kilometers.
If the enemy's attention and fighter planes are all focused on Zhaojiaba, it will take at least eight minutes to reach Baoping Township... This is with the "Zero" fighter plane flying at the highest speed and launching "high fire" at the Eighth Route Army
I immediately realized it at that moment and turned to calculation.
In actual combat, intelligence and communication are needed, and it would be several minutes before the pilot received the order.
It will take at least ten minutes to add them together.
At this time, the "Gao Huo" might have already reached its destination and started to dive, and nothing the Japanese fighter planes could do to stop it.
Wang Xuexin did not set out with the "high fire" troops. He sent Zhou Yuankai to take command of the "high fire" troops.
Zhou Yuankai was originally a pilot, and his command of the "high-fire" troops seemed to be a "cross-border" move, but in fact it was not.
Wang Xuexin thinks this way:
First of all, Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng personally participated in the research and development of "High Fire".
"High Fire" is top secret. Once the two of them participate in the development of "High Fire", it will be impossible to return them to the pilot team.
Because once they are put back, the secrets will be more or less leaked.
It’s not that they don’t trust them, it’s that the spies are pervasive. They usually talk like they are chatting, and they can unknowingly get some information and data out of them.
Therefore, the safest way is to keep them in the "high fire" unit.
Secondly, they participated in the research and development of "High Fire" and conducted test flights.
Because they have done test flights, they are familiar with the performance of the "High Fire", and because they are pilots, they know under what circumstances, in which positions, and in which wind directions, are suitable for launching the "High Fire".
In this regard, they even have an advantage over researchers like He Zhimin.
Thirdly, their advantage is that they are soldiers, and they are veterans with rich combat experience, with sufficient battlefield acumen and thinking, especially the enemy's aerial bombing and interception... This is far from what researchers can compare with.
In fact, this kind of "cross-border" appointment of commanders has its scientific nature.
For example, the captain of the Yingjiang aircraft carrier, after several actual battles, unanimously required that the captain must be a pilot and have experience in flying fighter aircraft.
The reason is very simple. An aircraft carrier is not just a warship. It is actually a combat platform for fighter planes. Fighters are mostly used to fight against enemies. In many cases, they also have to deal with bombing by enemy fighters and bombers.
Therefore, the person who is qualified for the job of aircraft carrier captain is the pilot.
Similarly, Wang Xuexin believes that those who are qualified to command "high-fire" troops should also be pilots, especially during this period. "High-fire" is actually a small aircraft, an unmanned small aircraft.
Zhou Yuankai was a little unhappy when he received Wang Xuexin's appointment. He ran to Wang Xuexin's office and said: "Batalion Commander, I can do anything you ask me to do, but commanding the 'High Fire'... I can't do it!"
"Tell me the reason!" Wang Xuexin stared at the map and replied without raising his head.
"Battal Commander!" Zhou Yuankai asked in a sullen voice: "If we continue like this, won't we be able to fly the plane?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded simply.
Zhou Yuankai was not happy about this: "Battal Commander, Dongcheng and I have been taking airplane-related courses since we were teenagers. It can be said that we have been dealing with airplanes our whole lives. When we came here for test flights, you
But I didn’t say that I wouldn’t be able to fly a plane in the future! I...I don’t want to do it. I want to go back to the army and fly fighter jets. That would be fun!”
Wang Xuexin threw the pen on the table, raised his head and said, "Zhou Yuankai, do you think this is your home? You can come and leave as you please. Do you know what kind of army we are?"
"What kind of army!" Zhou Yuankai said: "Isn't there just a bomb that can fly by itself? The plane can also drop it. If it is equipped with rockets, it can shoot dozens of rounds at a time!"
It seems that Zhou Yuankai still doesn't know what kind of equipment this "high fire" is, and thinks that it is not as good as a Hawk 81 with rockets attached.
This is also where Wang Xuexin is troubled:
"High fire" is a brand-new equipment. Although Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng have military knowledge, they have no equipment or scientific awareness.
Although researchers like He Zhimin have equipment and scientific awareness, and know the power of "high fire", they lack direct command and military knowledge.
If the two can be balanced, it would be perfect.
Wang Xuexin pointed at Zhou Yuankai helplessly and asked: "Li Dongcheng has the same idea?"
"Almost!" Zhou Yuankai said: "If I hadn't stopped him, he would have come with me. He also wanted to go back and fly the fighter plane!"
Wang Xuexin answered truthfully: "Let's put it this way, you can't go back and fly the plane. The reason is for no other reason than that this 'high fire' is top secret, and we can't let it have any risk of being leaked..."
Now Zhou Yuankai became anxious: "Battalion Commander, we won't say anything! If we say anything...you, you will shoot us when the time comes! We won't even frown."
"Are you stupid?" Wang Xuexin replied: "Think about it, when we first established the County Air Force, did we have such a 'top secret'? Although it was kept confidential, the staff and logistics personnel did not allow it
Are you leaving?"
When Zhou Yuankai thought about it, he felt that this was really the case. Some unqualified pilots were even eliminated and returned to their original troops.
There is actually another reason for this, that is, a lot of information about fighter planes cannot be kept secret. For example, when the fighter planes are transferred and flown all the way from the stubborn army, the Japanese already know how many fighter planes there are in Wan County and what model they are.
Wang Xuexin continued: "If the 'high fire' is as you think, it would be better to hang a few rockets on the plane. Why do we need 'top secret'? Why don't we let you go back and fly planes to fight the Japanese? Why do we let you fly?"
This command?"
Zhou Yuankai was silent for a while, feeling that what Wang Xuexin said made sense.
But after a while he said: "Batalion Commander, but I... still want to go back and fly the plane. I'm used to flying in the sky, but I always feel like something is missing on the ground!"
Wang Xuexin can understand this. The freedom and speed in the sky cannot be experienced on earth.
When I think about not being able to fly again, I feel like my wings have been broken.
In this regard, Wang Xuexin could only answer: "You will get used to it gradually in the future. Think about it when you go back!"
Before Zhou Yuankai went out, Wang Xuexin added: "Learn more from He Lao in the future, and you can also ask him whether he is better at 'Gao Huo' or fighter plane!"
