With a simple handshake and a few words of congratulations, the First Air Force of the Eighth Route Army was established. There is a reason why Wang Xuexin was so eager to make the air force independent.
If the aviation force was not independent, after Professor Su successfully integrated the "x4" air-to-air missile and moved it to the fighter plane, would it be possible for Wang Xuexin to keep the Eagle Sauce secret?
You must know that the entire aviation force is under the command of Major Doug, and the Eighth Route Army pilots must load bombs, train, and conduct actual combat under his orders. That is almost telling Major Doug everything about the "x4".
Nothing in this world is easy, so Ping Kong got the idea and data of air-to-air missiles from Wang Xuexin.
If Yingjiang steals a few x4s and goes back to study them, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can produce them himself, and even surpass them.
Will Wang Xuexin still want to "overtake in a corner"? Just dream!
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that this thing must be kept secret from Yingjiang, and it is the highest level of confidentiality, which means that pilots using x4 must have communication restrictions.
As for Hans starting to develop the genuine x4 next year, if Yingjiang can get information from it, Wang Xuexin will have nothing to do with it.
After Wangxing Airport was ready, Wang Xuexin gave Wu Guozhi an order over the phone: "All fighter planes dismantle their rocket launchers and conduct tail-biting training at night!"
Wu Guozhi was confused and asked: "Batalion Commander, tail biting training? But we
"Execute the order!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Wu Guozhi.
"Yes!" Wu Guozhi responded helplessly.
It's not that Wang Xuexin didn't give Wu Guozhi a chance to speak, but that he can't say that the x4 air-to-air missile is a military secret now, and there is no need to reveal it to the pilot prematurely.
After arranging Wangxing Airport, Wang Xuexin once again turned his attention to the research and development of x4 in the hands of Professor Su.
The production of x4 was faster than Wang Xuexin imagined. After Professor Su provided the drawings to three stores, the prototype was produced in just three days.
But this is also common sense, because the difficult part is completed in the "high fire" stage, and at this time, the "high fire" is just miniaturized.
Back then, when Hans was producing X4 missiles, it also had a high output because of its simple structure. It is said that unskilled technicians were able to produce 1,300 missiles in just half a month.
The reason why this kind of missile failed to be put into actual combat was because just when Hans was preparing for mass production, Eagle bombers had already flown over the factory, launched a fierce bombing on Hans's Ruhr Industrial Zone and paralyzed it.
.
Professor Su conducted test firings of three of the missiles.
The test firing process took a lot of trouble.
Because the test launch is carried out on land, it also requires human control... 4 The difference between air-to-air missiles and "high fire" is that it can change human control and change the trajectory and go straight to the target. If it cannot change the trajectory, it will be lost.
gained meaning.
This raises a question: Where is the right person to control the missile?
Behind the missile?
Will it be burned by the tail flame?
On the left or right side of the missile?
If you control the missile to swing left and right, will you get burned?
After much deliberation, I finally dug a trench, the operator hid in the trench with a little bit of his head exposed, and put on an iron bucket with two holes dug into it as a protective gear, and then we started.
Then the missile indeed made an arc motion under the control of the control hand.
This made everyone ecstatic, because they, including Professor Su and He Zhimin, had never seen any artillery shells that could go straight to the target under human control... What if this develops in the future? Then?
Isn’t it really possible to hit wherever you point with perfect accuracy?
Only one of the three test launches failed because the wire was torn off before it could be deployed during flight.
He Zhimin was troubled by this, and he reported to Wang Xuexin: "Battalion Commander, the diameter of the wire used by Hans wire-guided torpedoes is only 0.4 mm, and it is quite tough. We cannot make such a thin wire.
It can be replaced by ordinary wires."
As he spoke, He Zhimin showed the thin copper wire in his hand in front of Wang Xuexin and said: "These were bought by the intelligence personnel from the Japanese. There was no problem with this originally, but the 'high fire' is very fast, especially the moment it was first launched.
From a stationary state to a speed of 300 kilometers per hour in a short time, the instantaneous pulling force can easily break the copper wire.
Wang Xuexin also realized the seriousness of this problem.
If the wire is torn off the moment the "high fire" is launched, it means that the "high fire" is completely out of control
If the "high fire" is not controlled, of course it will not chase the tail of the enemy aircraft and hit the target like a missile.
But of course, "high fire" does not necessarily need to hit the target to destroy it.
The main reason is that the Japanese "Zero War" has almost no armor and is very fragile. Although the airborne "high fire" has been miniaturized and its charge has become smaller and less powerful, as long as a few pieces of shrapnel are fired into the "Zero War" body, it will easily
Caused its malfunction, so "Zero War" was almost finished.
However, if it deviates too far from the target, its lethality may still be unsatisfactory. Wang Xuexin looked at the wire and asked, "Where is this wire placed?"
He Zhimin spread a simple diagram in front of Wang Xuexin, pointed to the tail of the "Gaohuo" and said: "We wrap the wire around a drum and place it in this part!" Wang Xuexin thought for a while and said: "
In other words, there is no roller at the other end?"
"The other end... Then He Zhimin stopped talking. He rolled up the drawings dejectedly and said: "Batalion Commander, I know what to do!"
Professor Su on the other side was still frowning at the torn missile, and He Zhimin stepped forward and said, "Stop looking, it's solved!"
"Is it solved?" Professor Su looked at He Zhimin in shock and confusion: "Tell me, how to solve it?"
He Zhimin raised his head and replied: "We only know how to install rollers on the missile body, but we don't know how to install rollers on the fixed frame. If we install rollers on both sides, can the pulling force be reduced?"
Professor Su couldn't help but jump up excitedly after hearing this: "That's right! What a great idea, why didn't I think of it? You have a good idea, Lao He!"
Then Professor Su heard what He Zhimin said: "Wait a minute, you mean 'we' only know. What you mean is
He Zhimin nodded helplessly: "This method is not what I thought of!"
Then Professor Su understood, it was that guy again.
Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin, who was looking calm a few meters away, and thought to himself: "What exactly is in this guy's head? Why does he seem to have endless ideas, and every one of them is so unexpected!"
