After careful consideration, the commander and the chief of staff did not answer Wang Xuexin's question, but directly answered Wang Xuexin with two words: "Agree!"
At the same time, the commander immediately sent a telegram to Li Yunlong: "I require your ministry to hold on for a month without air support or 'high fire' support, while ensuring the operation of Yuncheng and making every effort to reduce military and civilian casualties. Can you do this?
get?"
When Li Yunlong saw the telegram, he joked, "It's just a matter of holding on for a month. What's so difficult about this?"
Call back right away: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Li Yunlong never admits defeat when performing tasks. Of course, it is impossible to say that he can't do it.
But after the telegram was sent, I thought about it seriously: "Damn it, the focus of this mission is not to fight. It is to rescue the wounded and rescue the wounded and ensure that the people of Yuncheng are not in chaos. This is really troublesome!"
But then I thought: "Oh! What does this mean? Isn't this what Lao Zhao does full-time? It's my turn to worry about it?"
So of course, this most troublesome and difficult task was assigned to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gangna was confused when he received the mission... It seems that this order was given to you, Li Yunlong, why is it all under my control?
But think about it, this matter is indeed the responsibility of the political commissar. It is really not appropriate to let Li Yunlong, a regiment leader who only knows fighting and taking advantage, do it, so he will not speak up and acquiesce.
The chief had eliminated unnecessary interference for Wang Xuexin, and then there were immediately fewer telegrams and phone calls from Wang Xuexin.
After finally taking a breath, Chen Songyong asked Wang Xuexin doubtfully: "Batalion Commander, how can we fight?"
On the surface, it seems that there is really no way, because the only way to solve this problem is to compete with the Japanese for air supremacy, and at present, the Eighth Route Army does not have the strength to fully compete with the Japanese for air supremacy.
Wang Xuexin didn't answer, he just ordered: "Let Mr. Su and Mr. Su come here!"
"yes!"
Soon, Professor Su and He Zhimin sat in front of Wang Xuexin. They had already followed Wang Xuexin's suggestion and worked hard at a "high fire" speed.
He Zhimin knew what was going on, so he came up and said, "Battalion Commander, are you anxious to use high speed and high fire?"
Wang Xuexin was a little puzzled and asked: "Why does He Lao think that I am eager to go high-speed and high-fire?"
Unexpectedly, He Zhimin and Professor Su felt strange when they heard this. They looked at each other, and Professor Su said: "Batalion Commander, you called us for a meeting this time, not because you want us to produce high-speed, high-fire
'Deal with Japanese planes?"
It turned out that Professor Su and He Zhimin had guessed on the way here that Wang Xuexin wanted to use high-speed "high fire" to solve the Yuncheng problem. This made Professor Su difficult for a while. Although it was not difficult to increase the speed, it could not be done so quickly.
, no matter what, give it a few weeks to improve and test!
After listening to Professor Su's explanation, Wang Xuexin realized that they had misunderstood.
Su, and the two of them thought that since the "high fire" was not fast enough, so it was in a passive state when bombing the fighter planes and needed enemy fighter planes to "intercept" to achieve results, could speeding up the "high fire" change the situation?
This passive state?
This is indeed an idea. If the speed of the "high-fire" can be equal to or even exceed that of the Japanese fighter planes, then the "high-fire" can indeed be fired as an anti-aircraft shell, especially if it is equipped with a proximity fuse. In principle, it can still
It can destroy enemy fighter planes.
But Wang Xuexin has no plans to develop in this direction.
First of all, it is because the "High Fire" is too slow and heavy, with a speed of only 300 kilometers per hour. To what extent does it need to be improved to reach the "Zero War" speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour?
And even if the speed is improved to more than 500 kilometers per hour, it will only be the same as the "Zero War". It can shoot down the "Zero War" at the same speed... Doesn't that involve too much luck?
You must know that for any anti-aircraft gun, the muzzle velocity of its shells is calculated in "seconds". If converted into speed per hour, it is more than 2,000 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, unless the speed requirement of a modern self-seeking missile is not too high, it will be difficult to destroy a fighter jet that flies at high speed and can maneuver at any time.
Secondly, although "high-fire" is cheap, it is not cheap enough to be used in batches as anti-aircraft gun shells, especially "high-fire" equipped with a proximity fuse.
Therefore, this is an inefficient or even ineffective method. Even if it is effective, the speed needs to be increased at least several times.
Wang Xuexin shook his head and said: "Mr. Su, Mr. He, I don't know if you are aware of a problem. If we don't solve the problem of air supremacy, we will always be caught in our weakness by the enemy?"
Wang Xuexin originally did not want to discuss too many military issues with Professor Su and He Zhimin, but military industry and military affairs are sometimes inseparable. Even as a military industry engineer, you should also know some military strategy information, because it is related to the army.
needs.
Professor Su and He Zhimin nodded in unison. They only realized this when the Japanese Air Force launched a counterattack and bombed Yuncheng. Before, they had always thought that the Japanese could not deal with "high fire" and there was no big deal in defending Yuncheng.
question, it seems that is obviously not the case now.
Wang Xuexin continued: "And if we want to solve the problem of air supremacy, we cannot do without fighter planes, which means we have to dispatch the air force!"
Professor Su paid more attention to the battle situation. He knew the embarrassment of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, so he asked: "But battalion commander, our army does not have many pilots, and the replacement personnel are scarce. It is easy to dispatch the air force to compete with the enemy for air supremacy."
…”
"So!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We can only find ways to form an absolute advantage over the enemy. To put it simply, we must make every effort to reduce the casualties of our own pilots!"
Professor Su couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
Isn't this nonsense?
Who fights a war without making every effort to reduce one's own casualties and win?
The problem is that the opponent is the most advanced "zero combat" fighter aircraft in the world today, and the Japanese pilots are still experienced. How can the under-trained Eighth Route Army Air Force defeat the strong?
He Zhimin also had the same question, but he didn't say it out loud. He just looked at Wang Xuexin in confusion, secretly wondering why Xiao Dongbei, who had always been pragmatic, started talking big words?
Wang Xuexin ignored Su and the doubts on their faces, and continued: "Therefore, I was wondering if we should change the way to fight the enemy. I am talking about fighter planes. To put it simply, we can use the 'high'
The fire was miniaturized and then moved to fighter aircraft to replace machine guns and cannons."
Professor Su and He Zhimin were stunned. They couldn't react for a long time. They only had one question in their minds: Is it possible to do this?
