Of course, Okamura Neji's solution was not to send bombers to blow up those tunnels like Yoshio Shinozuka thought.
The best way is what Wang Xuexin is worried about. First, find out the locations of the Eighth Route Army's launch silos one by one, and then plan the route and send "Zero War" to wait in the air. As long as the Eighth Route Army launches the "special bomb", Zero War will be able to attack them without exception.
Intercept it on the way.
In just half a day, all five "high-fire" missiles fired by the Eighth Route Army were shot down by the Japanese without exception... It is easy to shoot down a "high-fire". Just shoot a few bullets at its wings or tail, and it will lose control and crash.
After Professor Su, who was still building the silo, heard the news, he rushed to Wang Xuexin's headquarters anxiously and said, "Batalion Commander, did the Japanese discover the way we used the silo to launch?"
Wang Xuexin replied calmly: "Yes!"
"Then...then you were discovered, why are you still shooting in the air?" Professor Su asked puzzledly: "You clearly know that the Japanese plane is waiting on the road!"
Wang Xuexin asked back: "Otherwise, what else can we do?"
Professor Su was stunned, there was really nothing we could do about it.
Either the "High Fire" will be launched, and the enemy will follow the trajectory to find out the location of the launch position. Next time, several fighters will be arranged near this route to prepare for interception.
Either don't launch... Only if you don't launch will you not be exposed.
But if there is no launch, what is the use of building a "high fire" and a launch silo?
After thinking for a while, Professor Su said with a sad face: "Then...battalion commander, you can't just fire them out one by one and send them to the Japanese plane, right?"
Wang Xuexin put on an indifferent expression: "Is this no problem? If the Japanese want to fight, let them fight!"
"You..." Professor Su couldn't help but feel angry.
This is a typical example of how hard it is to eat without knowing how to farm. This guy just sits in the headquarters and reads the intelligence and issues orders. He doesn’t know the circumstances under which these “high fires” were driven out, nor does he know how much workers’ sweat they condensed.
He even risked his life.
Seeing Professor Su like this, Chen Songyong, who had just finished the phone call, smiled "haha": "Mr. Su, don't worry, the battalion commander is just teasing you! We already knew this would happen!"
"Do you know?" Professor Su immediately understood the meaning of these words: "In other words, is there a solution?"
Chen Songyong nodded firmly.
Professor Su couldn't believe it. It took him more than three hours to get to Wanxian Airport from Yuncheng. During these more than three hours, Professor Su couldn't think of any good solution after thinking about it... It should be said that
It is the shortcoming of "high fire". It is slow and easy to be intercepted by enemy aircraft.
If there is any solution, it is to regain air superiority and reduce the enemy's interception space.
For example, if the Japs are driven outside Yuncheng, the Japs' interception time will be reduced from five or six minutes to two or three minutes, which will reduce their interception probability.
But Professor Su knew that this was unrealistic.
The Eighth Route Army's aviation fleet is not yet strong enough to defend the Japanese's more than sixty "zero battles" head-on. Especially the Japanese's "zero battles" are likely to be endless, but the Eighth Route Army only has so many pilots...
Obviously, if the aviation force were to fight head-on, the result would be that the Eighth Route Army's aviation force would be wiped out. In the end, "Gao Huo" would still have to face the same problem...being intercepted.
Therefore, this problem is almost unsolvable, but this guy has a plan?
Seeing Professor Su's disbelief, Wang Xuexin explained: "Mr. Su, have you ever heard of a 'proximity fuse'?"
Wang Xuexin was asking questions knowingly. The "proximity fuse" was an idea provided by Wang Xuexin to Yingjiang and then realized by Yingjiang. Not many people in China knew about this thing...
Eagle Sauce also keeps the "proximity fuse" strictly confidential.
The purpose of confidentiality is somewhat similar to "high fire" confidentiality.
Whenever new equipment is developed, keep it secret if possible on the battlefield. This way the enemy will suffer a loss because they don't know the secrets, and may even make a series of wrong decisions.
For example, "high fire" is launched from a launch silo. This does not seem to be an important thing, but in actual combat, the Japanese did not know this and frantically sent planes everywhere to look for launchers. In addition, they also threw out heavy artillery.
Bait... These wrong decisions not only cost the Japanese a lot of supplies but also wasted several days.
Wang Xuexin used these few days to get the first batch of proximity fuzes from Yingjiang in time.
Professor Su shook his head blankly and asked: "Proximity fuze? Is it a kind of fuze?"
Wang Xuexin nodded: "A fuze carrying a miniature radar, which can detect enemy aircraft and then detonate when it is closest to the enemy aircraft! That's why it's called a close combat fuze!"
Professor Su couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise when he heard that there was such a fuse...
"This is something from Eagle Sauce?" Professor Su asked.
It goes without saying that it is equipped with a micro radar, it must be something from Yingjiang.
Wang Xuexin nodded again: "Eagle sauce is going to be used in large quantities on anti-aircraft guns!"
Professor Su said "Oh": "No wonder, it's not surprising that Eagle Sauce is produced!"
Chen Songyong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Mr. Su, you may not know that this kind of fuze was invented by the battalion commander. It's just that our industry is backward and we can't produce it. The battalion commander just asked the Eagle Sauce to be produced. Otherwise, this secret weapon,
How can Eagle Sauce be given to us for free?”
Professor Su was choked by this. He was stunned for a while, then glanced at Wang Xuexin, and then nodded with an "Oh".
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Professor Su then asked: "So, does the battalion commander plan to use this fuse to strengthen our army's anti-aircraft guns?"
Wang Xuexin shook his head and asked: "Mr. Su, you said... the Japs intercepted our 'Gao Huo', it must be very close, right?"
Professor Su nodded: "Of course, the 'High Fire' is not as big as an airplane. It is difficult for the enemy to aim on a flying fighter plane. I guess... they should be about seventy meters away before they can aim and fire!"
"Fifty meters!" Wang Xuexin corrected: "Japanese fighter planes usually fire at a distance of fifty meters!"
This is the data obtained based on the interceptions of these Japs.
Professor Su still didn't understand what Wang Xuexin meant by this, until Wang Xuexin added: "Professor Su, what do you think... what is the lethality range of 'high fire'?"
"It must be at least seven or eight hundred meters!" Professor Su was not sure because homemade explosives are very unstable and it is difficult to measure a fixed value.
Then Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin with wide eyes: "You mean... to install a proximity fuse on the 'high fire'?"
