The more an opponent relies on air supremacy, the greater its vulnerability will be when it loses air supremacy.
This is the case with Hans in history. In the early days of the war, Hans had extremely excellent performance and a large number of fighters and bombers. In the middle and later stages, as the number of fighters decreased and a large number of advanced fighters entered the battlefield, Hans's air superiority was quickly compressed.
Even suppressed.
The result was that Hans was utterly defeated.
The most important reason for this is that the Mao Xiong has consumed a large amount of Hans's national and military power. Even if the sun never sets and Yingjiang does not participate in the war, the Mao Xiong can defeat Hans independently.
(Note: Yingjiang and Sun Never Set implemented the Normandy landing after Mao Xiong achieved a decisive victory and switched to a strategic counterattack. At this time, Hans was already at the end of his strength)
But there is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, Hans, who has always relied on air supremacy to launch blitzkriegs, cannot fight a battle without air supremacy.
The Japs at this time also looked like they did when Hans was defeated.
The Japanese artillery is accustomed to marching on the highway, and also in the daytime.
Its logistical supplies and even ammunition were transported by cars and trains without any cover.
Equipment, gasoline, ammunition and other strategic materials were piled up at the station and there was no time to evacuate...
This is not because the Japanese are negligent, but because the Japanese have always had air control, they don't need to worry about this.
Now suddenly, the Japanese air supremacy is gone.
From top to bottom, the Japanese did not have time to adapt to this change.
As a result, fighter planes and rocket fighters at Wanxian Airport took off frequently, and every time they took off, they had to bring enough ammunition and empty it before returning.
Among them, rocket fighters are especially bombarding everywhere... Airports, warehouses, train stations, etc., none of them can escape the anger sprayed by rocket fighters.
Other fighter planes seemed to be overqualified: the Hawker 81s given by Yingjiang were intended to be used as fighter jets for the Eighth Route Army. Although they had bomb racks, they were not equipped with bombs, so the ordinary "Hawker 81" could only use machine guns to shoot at the Japanese.
Car convoys and barracks, or oil depots.
For a time, fire broke out in the area controlled by the Japanese and chaos was everywhere. Even when the people in the enemy-occupied areas saw this, they thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to start a counterattack and drive away the Japanese...
In fact, it was too early to say this at this time. The Japanese army was stronger than the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Japanese fighter planes only temporarily lost air supremacy due to heavy losses in this battle.
Zhou Yuankai couldn't help but sigh when he saw the "Hawker 81"s busy going back and forth in the sky.
He helplessly said to Li Dongcheng: "If we weren't trapped in the "high fire" unit, we should be flying in the sky and beating up the Japanese at this time, right?"
Li Dongcheng blinked at Zhou Yuankai and said, "Brother Kai, I think you are confused, right? You don't even think about how many Japanese planes our 'high fire' has blown up. Are you still not satisfied?"
"
Then Li Dongcheng added: "Besides, if our 'Gao Huo' hadn't destroyed the Japanese's 'Zero War' brigade, how could our aircraft be so majestic?"
As he spoke, Li Dongcheng raised his head to the sky.
When Zhou Yuankai said this to Li Dongcheng, he thought to himself: That's right! Although "high fire" bombing the enemy is not a direct attack, and it doesn't feel like flying a plane to fight with the enemy, but no matter how we fight against the Japanese, we fight against the Japanese.
It's not about personal happiness, it's about driving the Japanese out of the country! From this perspective, this 'high fire' is much more useful than a fighter plane!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuankai figured it out, and at the same time he understood what Wang Xuexin said to him before. He is indeed a powerful 'Gao Huo'!
The person who later found Wang Xuexin's headquarters was Sun Erwei.
Sun Erwei has actually found Wang Xuexin a long time ago...
He was an intelligence officer sent by Yingjiang to the Eighth Route Army to observe and learn the tactics of the Eighth Route Army (the focus was on observing Wang Xuexin), so he tried his best to understand the situation of every battle of the Eighth Route Army.
Sun Erwei's method of collecting intelligence is very simple.
On the one hand, it is to directly contact the command structure of the Eighth Route Army, such as cooperating with the Eighth Route Army at Wanxian Airport, so that we can be close to the enemy on a first-come, first-served basis and obtain information that is unobtainable from the outside.
On the other hand, he used money to bribe the intelligence personnel who served him... Most of the people were poor. As soon as Sun Erwei's dollars were spread out, many people would collect intelligence for Sun Erwei.
But of course, these actions must be done with the permission of the Eighth Route Army.
Considering that Sun Erwei's purpose of collecting intelligence was to familiarize himself with the Eighth Route Army's tactics and learn combat experience, and then transfer to Yingjiang to fight the Japanese, the leader believed that this was also beneficial to China, so he let it go.
Because he had his own intelligence personnel, Sun Erwei got the news when "Gao Huo" first blew up more than fifty "Zero Fighters".
When his subordinates handed the information to Sun Erwei, Sun Erwei couldn't help but exclaimed: "God, there are more than fifty 'Zero War'? The entire Japanese 'Zero War' brigade was destroyed by them! And... they still used 'high fire'
Exploded! How did they do it?”
Sun Erwei was just stunned for a moment, and then ran towards Wang Xuexin's headquarters.
But when I got to the door, I was stopped by the security guard.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Sun Erwei!" the guard said, "You don't have permission to enter the headquarters!"
"I have something urgent to come to see your battalion commander..."
"No!" the guard refused straight away: "Unless you get a permit!"
Sun Erwei understands why.
Normally he could enter and leave Wang Xuexin's headquarters freely, but now it was wartime.
If he, an "outsider", was allowed to come and go freely during the war, wouldn't it be chaos?
So Sun Erwei could only pace anxiously outside the door.
As I walked, I was thinking, what on earth is this "high fire" that can be used to masturbate?
If there is such a thing that can be fired from land and can hit a plane, and the range is tens of kilometers, will the anti-aircraft gun become useless?
What’s ridiculous is that domestic scientists still think it’s useless!
These fools!
After waiting and waiting, the ban was finally lifted when the battle was over.
Without saying a word, Sun Erwei rushed into the headquarters and asked Wang Xuexin: "Wang, I heard that you used 'high fire' to blow up more than fifty Japanese 'Zero Fighters'. Is it true?"
"It's true!" Wang Xuexin nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Sun Erwei, this is all thanks to your proximity fuse!"
"Proximity fuse?" Sun Erwei was stunned for a moment, and then responded with half-open mouth: "You installed the proximity fuse on the 'high fire'?"
Wang Xuexin nodded, and then explained: "Because the 'Gao Huo' is equipped with a proximity fuze, so... when the Japanese fighter jets approach to intercept, the 'Gao Huo' will..."
Wang Xuexin made an explosive gesture with his hands.
The principle is very simple, as long as Yingjiang is willing, they can do the same.
However, Wang Xuexin thought that Yingjiang would not be interested in this.
