This does not mean that the chief obtained information later than Li Yunlong.
In fact, because Wang Xuexin has Zhang Zongping as his "undercover staff officer," every battle plan, every order, and even every analysis of the battlefield by Wang Xuexin will be transmitted to the headquarters in real time by Zhang Zongping.
This is also one of the meanings of Zhang Zongping’s existence.
But of course, this does not mean that the headquarters hopes to intervene in Wang Xuexin's command at a higher level. At least so far, the chief has not done so. He only put forward a few reasonable suggestions and ideas.
The chief did this mainly because Wang Xuexin's command was too important. The existence of Zhang Zongping was because the headquarters hoped to use the headquarters' power and resources to cooperate or coordinate Wang Xuexin's combat plan at critical moments, so that communication problems would not affect the overall situation.
For example, the headquarters previously mobilized other troops to jointly defend Yuncheng, or stole a trainload of machines and equipment from the Japanese... If it was just the resources in Wang Xuexin's hands and the headquarters did not intervene, it would be basically impossible to do it.
This time, the reason why the call from the headquarters was later than that of Li Yunlong was because the leaders could not believe the result.
"Is it true?" The leader holding the telegram looked at the chief of staff who handed over the information with disbelief: "We only lost five aircraft and shot down more than fifty enemy fighter planes? And it's still '
Zero War'?"
The chief of staff hesitated: "I'm not sure, and the battle is still going on, because our fighter planes almost wiped out the enemy's 'zero battle' brigade in a short time, and the enemy bombers had no time to escape. At this time, our fighter planes were
Encircle and destroy those bombers. If the intelligence is true, the enemy's losses this time will be huge. Not to mention that the 'Zero War' was eaten in half in one go, I don't think many of the bombers can escape!"
No wonder the chief and chief of staff think so.
As the saying goes, "A layman can only watch the excitement, and an expert can tell the truth." Defeating the Japanese "Zero War" brigade and shooting down fifty of them, this is just a number to a layman.
Just like Li Yunlong said: "We also have more than fifty planes. Isn't it normal to be able to shoot down fifty Japanese fighter planes? One person is responsible for one!"
Therefore, when Li Yunlong called Wang Xuexin, his focus was not on the results of shooting down the "Zero War", but on the rockets Wang Xuexin had that could be used to fly, thinking that an independent regiment could be equipped with hundreds of them.
, then our infantry don’t have to be afraid of Japanese planes anymore? If the Japanese bombard Yuncheng again one day, let’s use these rockets to teach them a lesson!
But if this matter is left to the chief and chief of staff, it would be a big deal.
They know what the Japanese's "zero war" is like.
The commander said with a serious face: "The Japanese aircraft carrier only brought a dozen 'Zero Fighters', and they were able to defeat Yingjiang in the Pacific Ocean. But now we have defeated fifty of them in one breath..."
…”
(Note: The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier include fighter jets, bombers, and torpedo attack aircraft. The Japanese call them ship combat, ship explosion, and ship attack respectively. Therefore, there are actually not many fighter jets. Most only have more than ten, and only the largest aircraft carrier
Thinking about it, the chief said to the chief of staff: "Go and confirm again, don't rush!"
"Yes!" the chief of staff responded and ordered the communications troops to contact the scouts and intelligence personnel on the front line.
Not long after, the chief of staff came back. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly: "Chief, good news! It's confirmed. The intelligence personnel saw the wreckage, and there were parachutists... many of them had Japs plaster icons on them.
, there were debris everywhere, and a few Japanese pilots were captured...more than thirty bombers were also shot down. If they hadn't been shot down until they ran out of ammunition, I'm afraid not a single Japanese bomber would be able to escape!"
The chief laughed "haha": "Not bad, this guy! The x1 he made is quite decent!"
At this time, the chief felt relieved and called Wang Xuexin's headquarters.
After the commander happily praised the commanders and fighters at Wangxing Airport, he said to Wang Xuexin: "I say Comrade Wang Xuexin, he fought very well! So, if we have x1, does it mean our 'Hawker 81'
Can we also form an absolute advantage over Zero War?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "Yes, you can say that! But there are still two shortcomings!"
"Oh, tell me!" The chief was very interested in this.
"The first is the speed issue!" Wang Xuexin said: "Too slow will affect its range and increase the enemy's reaction time."
The chief didn't quite understand it at first.
He knew that too slow a speed would increase the enemy's reaction time. This was easy to understand. Flight time was equal to distance divided by speed.
But why does slow speed affect range?
After thinking for a moment, the chief understood.
The speed of x1 is only more than 400 kilometers per hour, and its speed is lower than the speed of the target fighter.
In other words, if it is chasing normally, it is impossible for x1 to catch up with the target fighter. At least it can be done if it is faster than the target fighter.
The reason why x1 can do this in actual combat is because it is mounted on the "Hawker 81", which has a muzzle speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour.
To put it simply, x1 was thrown out by the "Hawker 81", and then added the thrust of its own rocket engine.
However, in the process of hitting the target fighter, x1 is constantly affected by air resistance and its speed continues to decrease. Especially if it turns in the air, the speed decreases even faster.
Once the speed decreases to a certain level, such as being equivalent to the speed of the target fighter, it is actually impossible to catch up, not to mention that its speed may continue to decrease.
According to this idea, x1 is fine for hitting close targets, such as those within three to five hundred meters. It is especially suitable for hitting targets that meet head-on, because the target fighter is approaching x1 at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour.
If you hit a target that is a little further away, it will be beyond your capabilities.
The chief nodded, secretly thinking, "I can't tell. This little Northeastern man really has a lot of knowledge."
The leader thought for a while and said: "Now that we know the shortcomings, we should find ways to make up for them! This is a very important piece of equipment. It can even be said to be decisive for the war. We must continue to improve it.
, strive to stay ahead of the enemy!”
Wang Xuexin responded "Yes!", but in his heart he was thinking that he didn't just want to be ahead of the enemy, he wanted to be ahead of the world.
However, Wang Xuexin did not say this. The problem at hand has not been solved yet. The Japanese are still showing off their power in China, and the Japanese will not be defeated so easily. They will definitely try their best to find countermeasures and methods.
Therefore, let’s solve the current difficulties first!
