Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1313 Radar
The two dilemmas made Wang Xuexin a little crazy, and he even wanted to change the strategic direction and take Taiyuan first.

The reason why he wanted to win Taiyuan first was because Wang Xuexin thought of Taiyuan’s arsenal that could produce artillery...that was the arsenal left by the Jinsui Army, which could produce Jinzao 88 field guns with a caliber of 18MM and Jinzao 105 with a caliber of 16MM. Type mountain cannon, in addition, it can also produce supporting shells.

Although when the devils occupied Taiyuan, the Jinsui army had already moved some of the equipment and even blew up some of them, but the devils brought equipment and parts from China to repair the production lines of these two types of artillery and continued production. A steady stream of supply to the front line.

If these arsenals can be obtained, the problem of the Eighth Route Army's artillery can be perfectly solved.

But Wang Xuexin thought about it for a while and finally gave up this tempting idea.

First of all, Taiyuan's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not to mention Taiyuan City, as the most important city in Shanxi and also the production base of devils, there are gun towers, blockhouses, and partition rivers (rivers dug by hand) everywhere outside the city.

If the Eighth Route Army wanted to storm such a city, it might not be enough to pile up a dozen main force regiments plus a few mechanized regiments.

Taiyuan City is nothing but Luliang Mountain to the west, Taihang Mountain to the east, Yanmen Pass to the north and Zhongtiao Mountain to the south... Although these mountains are the base of the Eighth Route Army, Yanmen Pass is also in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

But the base areas are only places where guerrillas are fought, and it does not mean that they are controlled by the Eighth Route Army, especially the Taihang Mountains.

What's more important is that there is Yanmen Pass on these mountains, so the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army should not even think about passing them, and Yanmen Pass is no exception... Although Yanmen Pass is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the devils have set up a line of defense to the south of Yanmen Pass to surround it tightly. .

What will happen to the mechanized troops and supplies of the Eighth Route Army?
Go forward bit by bit from Yanmen Pass, or cross Luliang Mountain, which is 80 to 120 kilometers wide, and send it to the front line?

You must know that the 80 to 120 kilometers are only the straight-line width of Luliang Mountain. To cross the mountain, you have to trek through mountains and rivers. The supply team may not be able to arrive in a few months... probably never.

Because the transport team itself also needs food, the result is that the supplies have been consumed on the way before they are transported to the front line.

Taking a step back, even if the Eighth Route Army can conquer Taiyuan with the help of gods, how can the devils leave Taiyuan's arsenal to the Eighth Route Army?

Think too much!
On the other hand, considering the strategic direction, it is not suitable to attack Taiyuan.

Wang Xuexin has been creating a false image for the devils to attack Taiyuan before, including now.

This made the devils urgently dispatch troops from various places to strengthen Taiyuan's defense and military strength during this period of time.
But what can we do now?
Wang Xuexin thought about it, and immediately cut off the possibility of self-produced artillery for the time being.

Even if you want to produce it yourself, you have to wait for the opportunity to conquer Taiyuan in the future before considering self-production. It is too early to think about this now.

Then there are only imports.

Imported artillery... Maybe it is more appropriate to import it from Mao Xiong. Not only is Mao Xiong closer to China, but the army stationed on the northern border to confront the devils can directly provide artillery and shells for the Eighth Route Army.

However, it may still be unrealistic to need enough shells for the Eighth Route Army to use on the battlefield. After all, Mao Xiong is also very nervous at this time... He was fighting Hans in Stalingrad, and here he was confronting the devils with a weak force. It is also a time when shells are urgently needed, and there is not much ability to consider the combat needs of the Eighth Route Army.

(Note: Mao Xiong decided that the devils would not launch an attack from the Far East, so he transferred his troops back to Moscow to fight against Hans)
Just when Wang Xuexin was in trouble, Su Liguo knocked on the door and came in.

As soon as he entered the door, he excitedly held the information in his hand and handed it to Wang Xuexin, saying: "Head, I have successfully shrunk the tube! Take a look at this..."

As he said that, Su Liguo took out a few electronic tubes from his pocket and carefully placed them in Wang Xuexin's hands.

Wang Xuexin took it and saw that it was much smaller than the previous one... The previous one was the size of a strawberry and shaped like a strawberry, but now it has become a regular cylinder with the thickness of a pencil.

The cylindrical shape is obviously more conducive to saving space, because they can be placed side by side.

"Very good!" Wang Xuexin praised: "Mr. Su must have put in a lot of effort to complete the miniaturization so quickly. However, if possible, we should continue to reduce it!"

"Of course!" Su Liguo replied, "The smaller the radio, the lighter it is, and the smaller the radio station, it's easier for soldiers to carry it on the battlefield!"

At this time, Su Liguo still thought that Wang Xuexin was doing this for the radio station...but this reason was enough, after all, going to the battlefield was a matter of soldiers' lives and army communications, and from Su Liguo's point of view, this reason was enough for him to pay.

"Leader!" Su Liguo continued: "Aren't we also producing radar? Tell me, can we also use this reduced electronic tube in radar, how can we reduce the size..."

With a thought, Wang Xuexin asked, "Old Su, how is the research on radar going?"

"I took apart the proximity fuze and looked at it!" Su Liguo said, "We can completely produce it ourselves. It's not very complicated. It's just a small radar plus a voltage-controlled detonator..."

This is the task that Wang Xuexin assigned to Su Liguo before, but at this time Wang Xuexin is not concerned about this. He said: "What about the radar called Mark3? How big a target can it detect?"

Su Liguo couldn't help sighing: "The things Yingjiang made are amazing. I tried it, and it can detect things the size of a washbasin ten kilometers away, and it's not a problem to detect airplanes tens of kilometers away!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh", and then asked: "So...how about using this thing to detect shells?"

"Detect shells?" Su Liguo looked confused: "The head wants to detect shells?"

After being stunned for a moment, Su Liguo explained: "Yingjiang doesn't use this kind of radar to detect shells, they are used to detect the splash of shells!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh" to signal Su Liguo to continue.

Su Liguo said: "It's like this. Yingjiang installed this radar on a warship. After the warship fires, the shells shoot at the enemy warship. If it misses, a splash will explode on the sea surface. The position of the splash is detected by the radar. , you will know whether the shell hits close or far, and the next round will be adjusted based on this data!"

Wang Xuexin understands now that Ying Jiang uses this radar to adjust the ballistics, and Su Liguo thought Wang Xuexin would do the same.

But Wang Xuexin replied: "No, Mr. Su! What I want to detect is not the trajectory adjustment of my own shells, but the enemy's shells!"

"Enemy shells?" Su Liguo looked surprised. As far as he knows, no one has done this before...
