Therefore, what Neji Okamura values more is still air superiority.
After Wang Xuexin knew this, he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Ginger is still hotter than old." This Okamura Neji really has a lot of skills.
What Wang Xuexin values also is air control.
Wang Xuexin refused to comment on the deficiencies of "high fire" mentioned by Zhou Yuankai in previous meetings and the possible tactics used by the Japanese to deal with "high fire".
This is not to say that Wang Xuexin does not have ways to deal with it.
Everything in this world is like "water comes, soil floods and soldiers come to stop it." Whatever situation arises, as long as you are willing to study and work hard and use your brain, there will always be a solution.
Wang Xuexin just thinks there is no need to waste too much energy on these issues.
After the meeting, Professor Su, He Zhimin and other researchers became very busy. They held meetings and discussed how to solve these problems.
Wang Xuexin also let it go. Anyway, Professor Su and other R&D personnel should have some independent research and innovation capabilities. If they rely on Wang Xuexin for everything... or to be precise, rely on Wang Xuexin's system, they will not be able to grow.
After a few days of this, Professor Su hurriedly brought a stack of documents to Wang Xuexin and said: "Batalion Commander, this is the plan we have discussed over the past few days. You can see if it is feasible. If you think it is OK, we will proceed
Just follow this plan to improve it!”
Wang Xuexin opened the document and looked at it. The schematic diagram in the document was clear at a glance. They planned to improve the control system of "High Fire" to achieve orbital flight... This is actually not difficult. They only need to make the control system accept two flight altitudes.
That’s it.
To put it simply, after the "High Fire" is launched, it flies at the first flight altitude. Professor Su built a timer into the control system. Once the time is up, the flight altitude will automatically drop or rise as needed.
"High Fire" can automatically correct its own trajectory, but when the flight altitude changes, the "High Fire" control system will think that it is on the wrong track, so it will react to change the track.
Wang Xuexin shook his head secretly. At this time, Chinese scholars were still slightly lacking in innovation consciousness, or it could be said that they did not know enough about strategy, tactics and missiles, so they always thought of "treating the head and foot and treating the headache".
...The enemy may take advantage of the shortcoming of the "High Fire" that it cannot change its trajectory, so they try to make the "High Fire" change its trajectory.
Wang Xuexin asked: "Didn't it mean that the orbit change would affect the accuracy of the 'High Fire'? How do you solve it?"
"We have discussed it!" Professor Su replied: "Any new equipment has a process from immaturity to maturity. With the improvement of our production level and continuous improvement of the control system, as well as the improvement of data,
The accuracy of 'High Fire' will continue to be improved. Therefore, the decrease in accuracy caused by orbit change may be within an acceptable range by then!"
Wang Xuexin shook his head, this matter was not as simple as Professor Su thought.
But it’s no wonder Professor Su thinks so. At this time, the "Gaohuo" has just been produced and is immature in all aspects, especially the flight data of the control system... This data was collected and put into use in just one month.
Well, as the flight data becomes more and more perfect, does it mean that the accuracy of "high fire" will become higher and higher in the future?
If one side is high and the other side is low, they will cancel each other out and change the track, which is acceptable.
What Professor Su didn't know was that this flight data was extracted from the system by Wang Xuexin. It was already close to perfect and there was no room for improvement.
If precision is required to achieve orbit change, it would be necessary to install a "radar" on the missile in modern times to search for the target and adjust the flight attitude according to the target with a gyroscope.
According to Professor Su and others' approach, nothing can be gained except a waste of manpower, material resources and time.
"Professor Su!" Wang Xuexin said: "I wonder if you have ever heard of a saying, 'The only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is fast'?"
Professor Su was confused: "Is there such a sentence?"
Wang Xuexin was stunned by the question... and then he remembered that these words seemed to be used in martial arts novels, which may not have existed in this era.
So he explained with a slight embarrassment: "What this means is that although it is just an ordinary move, as long as it is fast enough, it will be difficult for the enemy to break it!"
Professor Su said "Oh" and said: "What the battalion commander means is not to seek a change of track but to increase the speed of the 'high fire'?"
Wang Xuexin nodded: "Isn't this much easier than changing orbit? And it will not reduce the accuracy. It just needs to increase the response speed of the control system, otherwise it will be a thousand miles away!"
"That's right!" Professor Su woke up from a dream: "If the 'High Fire' is fast enough and changes the flight time from six minutes to three minutes, will the Japanese still have time to react? Look at us old guys
, why are you all seeking the far away at the expense of the near, and you didn’t expect this!”
Professor Su looked a little embarrassed when he said this. He lost another round to Wang Xuexin.
And this method is indeed easy to implement. All that is required is to add an engine and increase the rocket combustion value.
At this moment, Chen Songyong hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Battalion Commander, intelligence shows that the Japanese may secretly send additional fighter planes to China."
Wang Xuexin frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Not sure!" Chen Songyong said: "Last night, or even longer ago, the Japs may have secretly replenished fighter planes at night, and the intelligence blockade was extremely strict. Our intelligence officers only recently heard the news!"
Wang Xuexin's expression changed, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately order all the 'Hawker 81's in combat to return to the airport!"
"Yes!" Chen Songyong responded, turned around and went to convey the order.
However, the information came a little late.
In fact, it was not too late, but the Japanese discovered that the Eighth Route Army fighter planes were evacuating on a large scale, so they immediately took off to intercept them... As a result, a total of twelve "Hawker 81" were shot down by the Japanese, most of them on bombing missions.
rocket fighter.
The Japanese knew that rocket fighters were not very maneuverable, not only slow and inflexible, but could defeat them in a short time, so they gave priority to this type of aircraft.
This loss made Wang Xuexin feel a little sad, not because he felt sorry for the fighter plane, but because he lost five Chinese pilots.
What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Okamura Neji was so angry that he stamped his feet!
This was an aerial counterattack that he carefully planned... When the Eighth Route Army thought it had control of the air, he used the newly formed air force to give it a head-on blow.
Okamura Neiji hoped to shoot down or destroy at least two-thirds of the enemy planes, but he did not expect that the final result would only be a dozen or so.
But of course, Okamura Neiji would not report it like this. He immediately sent a message to Tokyo, saying that the plan against the Eighth Route Army Air Force had achieved a "big victory."
