There is only one chapter today, and I am a little too tired to finish it. I will take a nap and finish it in the morning.

Okamura Neiji agreed with Hosotani Daizuo's plan. After all, apart from formulating some possible tactics, he really couldn't think of any better way.
On the other hand, what surprised Okamura Neiji was that Hawk Sauce did not pay enough attention to the "special bomb" of the Eighth Route Army.
This is the message sent back by the imperial intelligence personnel: "What Yingjiang knows about the 'special bomb' is that the equipment is called x1. They think it is just a rocket!"
"x1?" Okamura Neji felt confused: "Thought it was a rocket?"
This means that Yingjiang probably doesn't know about this thing called x1 owned by the Eighth Route Army, which is equipped with wires and can be controlled by the pilot to track the target.
What's going on?
After thinking about it, Okamura Neji quickly understood.
"It's the Eighth Route Army that doesn't want Taka-chan to know the truth!" Okamura Neji said.
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily: "So, we don't need to worry about Taka-chan equipping this kind of equipment for the time being.
Equipment! In other words, it has nothing to do with the battle in the Pacific!"
Okamura Neiji hesitated for a moment, then said: "That's not necessarily the case, I mean, if Taka-chan gets exact information from us!"
Then Okamura Neiji gave the order: "Send the order to shoot the three surviving pilots. The crime is fleeing and shirk responsibility without the proper attitude of guilt!"
Shinozuka Yoshio was stunned and shot him? This was a pilot, and he was also a flying elite that the empire was in urgent need of. He shot them just because they survived?
Neji Okamura seemed to see through Shinozuka Yoshio's thoughts, and explained: "Shinozuka-kun, three pilots are a small matter, but it is a big deal to make Taka-chan believe that x1 does not have the ability to track as legendary! Do you understand?
?”
Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly understood, nodded quickly and said "yes", and then went down to make arrangements.
Okamura Neiji is fighting a psychological war against Taka-chan.
The wording used by Neji Okamura in shooting the three pilots was somewhat clumsy: "passing the buck."
What responsibility do you shirk?
It is easy to imagine that the pilot attributed the failure to the Eighth Route Army having a new piece of equipment with unheard of superior combat effectiveness.
If you think about it this way, does it mean that this kind of equipment does not exist at all, or that it is not as good as the pilot said? It can even be said that the pilot is lying?
Intelligence work is Okamura Neiji's old profession. He knows very well that it is better to be more specific in this regard. Only in this way can he be more convinced by Takajia.
As a result, Yingjiang really believed it.
After Doolittle learned that the three Japanese pilots had been shot, he nodded and said, "This shows that Major Doug is right. This is just a story made up by a few pilots to shirk responsibility!"
Then Doolittle added: "Their story should be more reasonable. Rockets that can track their targets?"
Doolittle smiled and shook his head. This was obviously too exaggerated, and it actually cost the lives of these pilots.
Of course Doolittle didn't know. In fact, both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese knew the truth, but because of their respective interests, they were unwilling to let Yingjiang know the truth.
Wang Xuexin's side has already exploded.
Headquarters, Li Yunlong, Principal Tang, and Ding Wei and other group leaders who had some friendship with Wang Xuexin either called or sent telegrams to congratulate Wang Xuexin.
But of course, apart from the headquarters, even Li Yunlong thought it was rockets that blew up the Japanese "Zero War".
Li Yunlong said with a "hey hey" smile on the phone: "I say Xiao Dongbei, your rockets are so effective, why don't you give some of them to our independent group for fun someday?"
Li Yunlong is a dog that can't change his attitude. Whenever he has any good equipment, he will do everything possible to take it for himself.
Wang Xuexin replied helplessly: "Captain, our rockets are used on airplanes. Even if they are given to the independent group, they won't be used!"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he replied quickly:
"Who said they can't be used? We only have a few anti-aircraft guns in Yuncheng. They were bombed by Japanese heavy artillery and then bombed by Japanese planes. Coupled with malfunctions, we can count them on ten fingers now!"
"The Japanese knew that we didn't have much anti-aircraft firepower, so they were very arrogant when they fought. They all dropped bombs at low altitudes, just a finger away from the roof!"
"We can't count on anything else. If your rockets are so effective, wouldn't it be good for us to defend Yuncheng?"
Li Yunlong has his own reasons for thinking this way. After all, this rocket can be used to fight airplanes. How can it not be used to fight? Why can't it be used to fight in Yuncheng?
Wang Xuexin explained: "Commander, we don't have enough rockets. We can't catch up with the plane on the ground!"
"Who are you kidding?" Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "You can catch up on the plane but not on the ground? Can we say something clear?"
"Captain, I really didn't bluff you!" Wang Xuexin hurriedly explained: "I bluff no one and I dare not bluff you? Don't the rockets on the plane already have the speed of the plane? And some of my own speeds are increased by two
If we work together, it won’t be a problem to catch up with the target in a short distance!”
What Wang Xuexin said was true, but it involved some knowledge of physics. Li Yunlong was confused when he heard it: "What speed? Can this thing have one more piece?"
Zhao Gang, who was listening to the conversation between the two, understood the truth, and nodded and said: "Old Li, what Xiao Dongbei said is right. You see, the Japanese plane flies so fast, and our plane flies just as fast.
Come on, is this relatively stationary? Can’t we catch up with our rockets once they hit us?”
Li Yunlong said "Oh" as if he didn't understand. Since both Xiao Dongbei and the political commissar said so, it means that this really happened and Xiao Dongbei was not bluffing.
So Li Yunlong said with regret: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't want it this time, but I say Xiao Dongbei, you have to remember this account, and we can use it next time if there is any good equipment."
If you need it, you have to keep it for our army!"
"Absolutely!" Wang Xuexin agreed hastily.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuexin was thinking that although Li Yunlong was fanciful, his idea was a good one. If ground troops were used to fight enemy aircraft, if the "high fire" was arranged like this, would it be a surface-to-air missile?
You can try it another day.
If surface-to-air missiles can be developed, does that mean that the problem of insufficient anti-aircraft guns will no longer be a problem?
However, surface-to-air missiles are not that simple.
Slow speed is definitely not enough, at least it must be faster than the enemy plane and much faster, otherwise it will be impossible to catch up and there will be no air defense.
On the other hand, there is the problem of radar. The radar needs to find the enemy's position and automatically track it. This seems to be beyond the scientific research level of this era.
