Okamura Neiji looked displeased: "Kono-kun, you mean to exchange our army's elite pilots and 'Zero War' for the Eighth Route Army's half-empty pilots and 'Hawker 81'?"
Kono Shinta asked back: "Otherwise? General, do you think we should trade 10 elite pilots and ten 'Zero Fighters' for one half-bucket water pilot and one 'Hawker 81' from the Eighth Route Army?"
These words made Neji Okamura's face turn dark.
However, Okamura Neji had no way to refute, because in the last air battle, the Eighth Route Army had a casualty ratio of ten to one.
In other words, if tactics are not changed, future air battles may still have this casualty ratio.
So instead of trading ten for one, why not level it out first and consider trading one for another?
Although the quality of the Eighth Route Army pilots is indeed not as good as that of the Imperial pilots, although the "Zero War" is indeed better than the "Hawker 81".
But the problem is...
The Eighth Route Army has an overwhelming x1, and this equipment is enough to make up for these shortcomings of the Eighth Route Army.
Kono continued: "Your Excellency, General, you must know that our army's 'zero combat' is best at close combat. It is very flexible in close combat. In this case, why don't we frequently turn and maneuver during the battle to make the enemy's fighter planes... Exactly
It is said that it is difficult for X1 to target our fighter planes..."
Okamura Neiji interrupted Kono Shinta: "This is useless, Kono-kun! You are not a pilot and have never flown an airplane, right? We have tried high-angle maneuvers to avoid bullets. However, I want you to know one thing: the enemy's
The x1 can modify its trajectory to chase our fighter planes and explode at the closest distance to our troops. In addition, the enemy has now developed a tactic of two planes firing x1 at the same time, that is, two x1s will track our planes at the same time, which makes us
The probability of the army successfully avoiding the bullet is greatly reduced!"
"Your Excellency, General!" Shinta Kono replied: "Perhaps you have forgotten that the turning radius of the 'Zero War' is much smaller than that of the 'Hawker 81'!"
Of course Neji Okamura knew this, but he didn't understand what Shinta Kono meant by saying this.
Shinta Kono took out a pen and paper from his pocket and explained while drawing the flight path: "If the turning radius of the 'Zero War' is smaller than that of the 'Hawk 81', and the 'Hawk 81' is a twin aircraft with one upper and one lower
The formation bites the tail of 'Zero War', then... Your Majesty General, if 'Zero War' continues to turn in a small radius, what do you think will happen?"
Looking at the flight path of Konomura Taiga, Okamura Neiji suddenly understood: "There will definitely be a Hawker 81 that will be thrown away by the Zero War?"
"To be precise, the enemy's two Hawker 81s were unable to maintain the formation!" Shinta Kono pointed at the flight path and replied: "Because the turning radius of the 'Hawker 81' is large, when the 'Zero War' continues to turn with a small radius,
, the two 'Hawker 81's originally one above the other will inevitably have one on the outer circle and one on the inner circle. The one on the outer circle will inevitably fall behind because of its long stroke. This distance is..."
Shinta Kono lined up a few lines of drafts on the paper, and then came up with a number: "It's about 25 meters per second. That is, as long as you hold the gun, you can make the enemy's two-plane formation one up and one down."
After one.”
Shinta Kono then drew two lines on his notebook and continued his analysis: "At this time, the enemy has only two choices. One is to reduce the speed of the front aircraft and maintain the formation of the rear aircraft, but this means that they will be '
Zero War's back bites the tail!"
Okamura Neji nodded in agreement.
This is originally the advantage of the "Zero War". Because the "Hawker 81" is faster than the "Zero War", it can only avoid being bitten by the "Zero War" when it maintains the highest speed. At medium and low speeds, as long as it turns
If you make two turns or even one turn, you will be bitten by "Zero War".
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army pilots would definitely not make the choice of reducing the speed of the leading aircraft and adapting to the rear aircraft to maintain the formation.
Kono Shinta could see from Okamura Neji's eyes that he understood, so without further explanation, he directly marked this option with a cross, and then said: "Then the only possibility left is what we just mentioned, 'Huo'
The K-81' will form a tandem formation. At this time, is it possible for them to launch x1 at the same time? Even if they launch x1 at the same time, I'm afraid they will arrive at different times, right?"
Okamura Neji nodded his head.
The distance is different, even if the x1 is launched at the same time, it is impossible to threaten the "zero battle" at the same time.
What's even more serious is that according to the flight path drawn by Shinta Kono, the two "Hawker 81s" turned one behind the other after a few turns, and the fuselage of the front aircraft would completely block the view of the rear aircraft, making it difficult for them to fly.
It cannot see the target at all and cannot launch x1 at all, even if this strange equipment can change the flight path.
In the end, Shinta Kono came to the conclusion: "Then when the time comes, do we still need to worry about two x1s? If there is only one x1, will the avoidance action be effective? If, at this time, there is a 'Zero War' bite in the rear
With 'Hawker 81', Your Excellency General..."
Okamura Neji was silent for a while, and then he burst out laughing. He raised his cup and said to Kono Shinta: "Kono-kun is indeed a military expert, and he has such detailed research on air combat tactics. He is really a young man with great achievements."
ah!"
Kono Shinta hurriedly raised his glass: "Your Excellency, General, you have given me the award!"
"Then!" Okamura Neji said after finishing the drink in one gulp: "Then, Kono-kun, please assist our air force in fighting! We will use this tactic to avenge our shame and wipe out the Eighth Route Army air force!
"
Kono Shinta hesitated for a moment.
Okamura Neiji noticed something strange about him, and asked in confusion: "Why, Kono-kun doesn't like the Imperial Air Force?"
"No, no, General!" Kono Shinta quickly replied: "That's not what I meant. But I think...it doesn't seem to be a heavy blow to the Eighth Route Army!"
"Oh?" At this time, Okamura Neiji had already put away his previous contempt for Kono Shinta. He asked solemnly: "Isn't this a matter of regaining air supremacy?"
"Indeed!" Shinta Kono nodded and said: "But if our army changes its tactics, will the Eighth Route Army be fooled? They may have a third option... give up the pursuit and dive to escape, or even fly level.
There is also a great chance of escaping from the battlefield!"
Okamura Neiji nodded. "Hawker 81" has a speed advantage. At the highest speed, they have the possibility of escaping at any time, even if the height is not high.
This is where Okamura Neiji thinks Xiaodongbei is clever. Its "wavy tail-biting" tactic allows the "Hawker 81" to always maintain the highest speed, so it can advance, attack, retreat or defend, or even escape from the battlefield.
Then Neji Okamura was confused: "Kono-kun, then, what do you think we should do to deal a heavy blow to the Eighth Route Army?"
