In fact, when Morimoto Ehide said this, he knew that this method would not work.
So Morimoto Ehide immediately shouted an order to his subordinates on the radio: "Everyone is ready to shoot down these 'special bombs'!"
The subordinates couldn't help being shocked when they heard Morimoto Eei's words.
"Shoot them down?" Captain Miyagi said doubtfully: "Major, they are likely to..."
"I know!" Ehide Morimoto interrupted Captain Miyagi: "But their target is a temporary airport. Think about what we will lose!"
At this moment, everyone else fell silent.
There were obviously many more fighter planes parked at the temporary airport than their "zero combat" squadron.
Not to mention fighter planes, there are also pilots, supplies, fuel, etc.
Just when his subordinates were hesitating, Morimoto Ehide added: "Everyone, the time has come to be loyal to the empire. Do it! I guarantee that your efforts today are worth it, and we will become a model for the empire! Become a soldier.
glory!"
Morimoto Eei's brainwashing immediately received responses from his subordinates.
However, at this time, Captain Miyagi exclaimed again: "Major, they are starting to swoop!"
As soon as Morimoto Eei heard this, he cried secretly.
Although the "special bomb" is relatively slow, its speed is only over 300 kilometers per hour.
But that is only the speed at which they fly in the sky. Once they enter the dive stage, their speed can also reach more than 400 kilometers or even 500 kilometers per hour.
The "Zero War" is notorious for its poor performance in dives.
In this case, can we still catch up with them?
Morimoto Ehide didn't think much and immediately ordered: "Catch them immediately and shoot them down at all costs!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
…
"Zero War" swooped down one after another to chase the "special bomb".
One thing, Eide Morimoto was right, was that the batch of "special bombs" they were chasing were indeed "special bombs" that would self-destruct in the air.
In other words, they are all equipped with proximity fuses.
Needless to say why a proximity fuse is installed... This is an improved "high fire", with a long range and a slow flying speed.
Combining the two together and making a rough calculation, it would take more than half an hour to fly in the air (based on a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the maximum flight time in half an hour is 150 kilometers).
In this more than half an hour, the enemy had too many opportunities to intercept the "high fire", and even 98 light explosions were able to arrive in time.
If this kind of "high fire" is not equipped with a proximity fuze, then they will have only one result, and that is to be shot down one by one by enemy fighter planes. In the end, few of them will be able to reach the end, just like the empire where the sun never sets when they intercepted Hans
Same as v1 missile.
In order not to be intercepted by the enemy, there is only one way to install a proximity fuze.
To be precise, this does not mean "not intercepted by the enemy".
But the enemy needs to pay a certain price for interception...in exchange for fighter planes.
At this time, Morimoto Ehide had just this plan. He planned to exchange fighter planes for "special bombs."
It's just that the price is a bit high...the fighter plane used is the Japanese's most advanced fighter plane, the "Zero Fighter".
But it's worth it from the perspective of protecting the airport.
Objectively speaking, the Japanese still have a chance to "intercept".
The proximity fuze captures the target when it is about 300 meters away (the size of the radar reflection area of different targets varies, and the capture distance for "zero warfare" is about 300 meters).
If the Japanese pilots knew the working principle of the proximity fuze, they could adopt a relatively "safest" interception method:
Approach the "special bomb" for three hundred meters, and then quickly move away.
This will not only detonate the "special bomb", but also keep the farthest distance from the "special bomb" to minimize the damage.
The problem is that the "proximity fuse" at this time is highly confidential. The Japanese have no idea about the existence of this thing, let alone the working principle of the "special bomb". Of course, they don't know the detonation distance of 300 meters.
Therefore, these "zero wars" foolishly chased the "special bombs" behind them.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters... fire.
The machine gun fired fragments of bullets and shattered the tail fin of the "special bomb". But the moment the "special bomb" lost its balance and fell from the air, it exploded with a "boom", followed closely behind.
The "Zero War" was immediately blown to pieces, and not even a scrap was visible.
Then another "Zero War" was blown up.
After that, the other "zero wars" couldn't catch up with the "special bomb".
This is the cleverness of pilots... If catching up means certain death, then why catch up?
Isn't it up to you to decide whether you can catch up?
There were so many excuses at the time!
For example, the visibility is not high and it is impossible to find the target. "Zero War" does not have the ability to fight at night. Chasing targets in the night sky is outside its combat scope.
Another example is that the dive performance of "Zero War" is not good. It is not surprising that it cannot catch up with the diving "special bomb"!
Morimoto Ehide actually knew this, but in the end he acquiesced to his subordinates' approach.
Because he discovered that the enemy's "special bombs" were much more numerous than his "zero battles". Even if he tried his best to intercept these "special bombs", he still could not save the airport in the end.
Therefore, Morimoto Ehide could only raise the fuselage, and then looked helplessly at the airport below which was in a mess and firing cannons into the air indiscriminately... That was the anti-aircraft gun organized by the airport after receiving Morimoto Ehide's warning.
Machine guns, even infantry machine guns, were used to shoot into the air.
However, these efforts were all in vain.
Just hearing a loud "boom", the first "special bomb" fell near the airport and exploded into a ball of fire.
Fortunately, this "special bomb" failed to hit the airport, but exploded in an open space a few miles away from the airport.
However, this is not the case next.
The "special bombs" hit the airport one after another, and flames appeared on the ground one after another.
From the position of the fire, Morimoto Ehide could judge that at least five "special bombs" hit the airport.
Suddenly, a huge fireball exploded at the airport.
"It's over!" Ehide Morimoto lamented in his heart. He didn't know whether it hit the fuel or the ammunition depot. In this way, a chain explosion is inevitable!
As expected, things turned out to be unfortunate for Ehide Morimoto.
Immediately afterwards, the airport burst into flames, and occasionally some flames soared into the sky and exploded in the night sky, like fireworks.
Just when Morimoto Ehide was mourning that the airport was bombed, Captain Miyagi nervously asked: "Major, where should we land?"
At this time, Morimoto Eidecai suddenly realized that he should think more about his "zero battle" squadron.
