Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1382 Missile Assist System
Strictly speaking, the use of helicopter transportation not only does not increase the cost but also saves a lot of resources.

For example, the transport team providing supplies for five regiments needs more than 3000 people and more than 300 mules. It takes about half a month for them to transport one trip (one round and one round). During this half month, the transport team risked their lives and the mules Forage and even accidental death are not counted. Just the food consumed requires 45000 catties... Each person in the transport team is rationed by one catty of grain per day. Without a catty of grain, my stomach is full and I have no strength to go on the road.

However, even so, the food they can transport is only enough for the frontline troops to eat for more than half a month, which is calculated based on the daily ration of half a catty of food for each soldier... The troops stationed at the front line are different, they can dig wild vegetables , picking wild fruits or hunting to supplement rations.

This is still the case when there is no war at ordinary times. Once there is a war, the amount of ammunition to be transported will be huge, and the number of transport teams will double, triple, or even quadruple or five times.

Helicopters are different. One flight weighs 2000 kilograms, and another flight weighs another 2000 kilograms.

The 11000 people in the five regiments need 5500 catties of food a day, which is 82500 catties in half a month, and a helicopter only needs to fly 20 times.

If it takes half an hour to go back and forth, the food transported by a helicopter for 10 hours is enough for five regiments to survive for half a month, which saves the transport team and its rations.

Of course, if you really want to calculate the cost, you have to include the helicopter and its fuel consumption. This figure seems to be a lot, but once it is shared, it is not much, and the efficiency is completely incomparable.

More importantly... without helicopters, the Eighth Route Army might not even be able to advance forward, let alone attack Taiyuan. This is the combat effectiveness and indirect benefits that helicopters bring to the troops.

It is said that the soldiers of the five regiments were almost frightened by the helicopter when they saw it for the first time: a black thing, "flapping" two wings, flew above their heads from the dark night sky, setting off a strange The evil wind... Many soldiers thought it was some kind of ghost, so they raised their guns to aim at the sky in fright, and almost pulled the trigger.

The reason why the helicopter appeared at night was because the headquarters requested that the helicopter be kept secret.

The chief thought this way: "If the devils know that we have helicopters to transport supplies, does that mean that our army is capable of crossing Luliang Mountain? Knowing that our army is capable of crossing Luliang Mountain, does it mean that Taiyuan will become our target? In this way, the devil will be on guard!"

Therefore, the headquarters required that the transportation of helicopters must be at night.

And because it is very dangerous to fly at night, we usually choose to transport on a moonlit night, so that we can at least see the mountain peaks, and then use the firelight as a signal when we reach the destination.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers had fallen asleep one by one at that time, but when they came out suddenly, it was no wonder that they were frightened and lost their souls.

Fortunately, the three stores had greeted the frontline commanders early in the morning, saying that there was such a plane that would deliver supplies to them.

The commander didn't take it seriously at first, the plane is just a plane, and it's like no one else has seen it?
The devil's planes and our own planes also have planes. I don't know how many times I have flown here and there, and I still think we are soldiers who have never seen the world!

It turned out that it was such a thing that flew over. This thing could stop in the air. At first glance, it really looked like something unclean. Even the commander was stunned for a while.

It wasn’t until the soldiers raised their guns and even set up their machine guns that the commander hurried forward to stop him: “Don’t shoot, you guys! That’s our plane!”

After the helicopter dropped the supplies and flew away, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army came back to their senses, and burst into bursts of cheers. Living with a half-starved stomach, I never thought that one day there would be a helicopter to deliver supplies for them, and it was said that it only took half an hour to go back and forth, so would it be time to bid farewell to the days of fighting hungry in the future?

Wang Xuexin found out about this while chatting with the staff. He was both happy and sad at the time.

I am happy because the lives of the frontline troops of the Eighth Route Army can finally be improved.

The bitterness is that he never thought that the comrades stationed on Luliang Mountain would be so difficult.

But when I think about it, I think it's normal. The situation was similar when the Independence Regiment hadn't left Luliang Mountain.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin is now using the mountains as a line of defense to infiltrate or encircle the devil-controlled area. Although it is in line with the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, countless soldiers have silently sacrificed or even sacrificed their lives in the mountains.

It took about two weeks for the five regiments of the Eighth Route Army to reach the eastern edge of Luliang Mountain. Wang Xuexin ordered them to prepare for battle... Although the devils abandoned the hinterland of the mountain, they will be at high places or important traffic exits in the fringe areas Bunkers or gun towers were built for defense in order to prevent small units of the Eighth Route Army or guerrillas from entering their controlled areas to make trouble.

Wang Xuexin was not in a hurry to let them do it, because the reconnaissance brigade was not prepared enough, and Yanmen Pass also needed to make some adjustments.

During this period, fifty anti-aircraft missiles were produced in one go.

In fact, the production of the anti-aircraft missile itself is not difficult. It is almost a smaller version of the missile. If there is any difference, it is fuel and radio-controlled flight.

What is difficult is the auxiliary equipment used to support the missile to hit the target.

The telegram sent by Su Xin to Wang Xuexin listed these auxiliary equipment. A complete air defense system requires the following equipment:
The first is two sets of Mark 3 radars.

The reason why two sets of radars are needed is that the detection speed of the target is not fast enough... It uses the antenna to rotate to obtain the position of the target. Although there are more than 1 revolutions in one minute after increasing the speed, it is still much slower than the speed of the computer.

Linking two sets of radars rotating in opposite directions doubles its search density.

Secondly, four sets of base stations are needed for positioning.

This is used to locate anti-aircraft missiles. Originally, only three sets of three-ball positioning systems were needed, but in order to improve accuracy, the fourth set was used for calibration.

Again a set of tube computers.

This kind of computer is a computer in the practical sense. It is a bit big, and it needs three cars in total...one to install the calculation part, the other to install the mercury delay memory, and the third to install the generator.

In addition, other systems also have to be equipped with two to five generators.

Plus anti-aircraft missile vehicles...

Counting all these things, an air defense system actually requires more than a dozen vehicles to assist on the ground.

Therefore, the anti-aircraft missile is not just a missile, it is more like a kind of information warfare.

Because the most difficult thing is not the missile itself, but where the missile should fly to hit the target.
