Chapter 261: Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf
Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "Yes, I do plan to install the proximity fuse on the 'high fire'!"
Professor Su's eyes couldn't help but light up. This changed the "high fire" of heavy artillery into the "high fire" of fighting airplanes, and what's more, he was fighting the "zero battle" of the Japanese. This thing is worth more than a dozen 89-types.
Heavy artillery, right? This is definitely a profitable business!
In fact, Professor Su still underestimated the price gap between the "Zero War" and the Type 89 heavy artillery.
At this time, the "zero war" was worth 55,000 yen, which was equivalent to 17,600 U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the time.
(Note: The data comes from "Burning Zero". A Zero is worth 55,000 yen. The monthly salary of a Japanese soldier is 5 yen and 60 yuan. A Japanese soldier has to go without food and drink for 880 years to afford a Zero.
War. This is how the lines are written. The author did not check whether they are correct.)
Although the factory price of the Type 89 heavy artillery is 10,000 yen, most of these are old cannons that have been used for more than ten years and have almost worn rifling. It is good to be worth a few thousand yen.
By this calculation, one "Zero War" can be worth dozens of Type 89 cannons.
However, Professor Su changed his mind and asked worriedly: "Is this possible? I mean, our 'high fire' and anti-aircraft gun shells work on different principles, right? In addition, the speed is also different, anti-aircraft gun shells are
If you approach the target quickly, the enemy aircraft cannot hide, but if you install it on the 'High Fire'... it's the other way around. The Japanese fighter planes are faster than the 'High Fire'. Once the Japanese find out, will there be problems?"
No wonder Professor Su said this. He didn’t know much about close combat fuzes, let alone how they worked, so he was worried about whether the proximity fuzes would detect enemy aircraft or other objects such as another "high-fire bomb" from a long distance.
"Then it exploded.
Wang Xuexin explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Su. I've asked. The miniature radar with proximity fuze like Yingjiang is not very powerful. It can only detect targets within a range of two hundred meters, and it must be a fighter plane. Our army's high
Firstly, it is small in size and secondly, it has a large number of wooden parts, and its radar reflection area is very small. As long as it is not within a hundred meters, there will usually be no problem!"
Professor Su said "Oh" and secretly said that the proximity fuze was simply designed for "high fire".
Chen Songyong added: "In addition, the detonation principle of the melee fuse is to detonate when the distance changes from near to far."
As he spoke, Chen Songyong held a pen holder in one hand as a "high fire" and a pen in another hand as a "zero battle" demonstration: "When the Japanese fighter planes continue to approach the 'high fire', it will never detonate. When the distance is enough, the Japanese will open fire."
The 'High Fire' was shot down. At this time, the 'High Fire' lost control and moved away from the enemy aircraft, and the proximity fuze immediately 'detonated'..."
This detonation method can simply be described as "crazy". It is like using an automatically shrinking rope to trap a rat that has been stealing food. As long as the target enters a range of two hundred meters and is detected by the radar, it can only
Not too close, not too far.
And even at the farthest distance of two hundred meters, the Japanese's "zero battle" would probably be within the explosion range of the "high fire".
Wang Xuexin thought for a while and then continued: "Mr. Su, I think that since the goal of 'High Fire' has been partially changed, can we...can add some ingredients to 'High Fire'?"
"Add ingredients?" Professor Su didn't understand what Wang Xuexin meant.
"Prefabricated shrapnel!" Wang Xuexin said: "If we can add some iron pieces to the explosive part, will it have greater lethality?"
"That's right!" Professor Su couldn't help but snap: "And it has to be added up, down, left, and right. It explodes in the air. There may be enemy planes in all directions. If a group of enemy planes surround us..."
Professor Su almost drooled as he spoke.
This is really conceivable.
As mentioned before, if the Jaap engine technology is not up to par but you want the "Zero War" to fly fast and far, you can only sacrifice the protective properties of the "Zero War".
Therefore, "Zero War" can be said to have no armor protection at all. All the flight load is used to carry fuel and weapons. It is just a "thin-skinned stuffing". It may even disintegrate in the air if the dive speed is too fast.
.
If a few shrapnel sliced into the fighter plane...even if it didn't hit the pilot, there was a high probability that it would hit its fuel tank or other parts. Wouldn't that be a problem?
Professor Su also understood this and immediately stood up to make improvements, but he turned back after just two steps.
"Battal Commander!" Professor Su said: "Since you have made these preparations, why do you still want to launch our 'high fire' and let the Japanese intercept it?"
Wang Xuexin only replied: "Mr. Su, I don't want to let the child trap the wolf. I just want to let the devils be restrained for a while so that they can release the big fish!"
Professor Su nodded as if he understood, then shook his head and left with a sigh. At this time, he only thought in his mind: This guy is a ghost, and it would be unlucky for a Japanese to encounter him!
Wang Xuexin's plan was actually very simple. He didn't want the Japanese heavy artillery to be scattered one after another and slowly explode like before.
Playing like this is not satisfying at first, and secondly, it requires a lot of "high fire"... On average, each heavy artillery requires five to ten "high fire" to blow it up. Playing like this, blowing up a Japanese heavy artillery regiment is not enough.
Want two or three hundred?
Although "high fire" is cheap, it cannot withstand such consumption.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin decided to "show weakness to the enemy."
The Japanese thought they had a hold on "Gao Huo", so they would confidently send out large numbers of "Zero Fighters" to intercept "Gao Huo".
At the same time, because the Japanese are sure that "zero warfare" can effectively intercept "high fire"... Actually, let alone "zero warfare", even 98 light explosions can intercept it.
Therefore, is it necessary for the Japanese to disperse their heavy artillery and bombard Yuncheng?
At that time, I am afraid that all the heavy artillery will be concentrated to carry out an all-out bombing of Yuncheng with confidence!
That's when "Gao Huo" shows off his magical powers.
This is what Wang Xuexin thought and did.
Even for two consecutive days, the Eighth Route Army's "high fire" was continuously intercepted by the Japanese and none of them slipped through the net... If you know the location of the Eighth Route Army's launch silos and the location of your own artillery positions, you can basically lock in the launch of the "high fire"
It's on track, and it can be said that there is no pressure for the Japanese to intercept it.
A total of twenty-five "high fire" missiles were intercepted.
Moreover, most of these twenty-five high-fire missiles were launched from different positions.
The reason why Wang Xuexin did this was to let the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army had so many possible launch routes.
There are many launch routes, so the Japanese must send as many fighter planes as possible to intercept.
Only if the Japanese send more fighter planes, the "high fire" can capture more fighters!
