Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1663 Improvements
The capture of the devil "Musashi" boosted the morale of the Eighth Route Army.

This is particularly beneficial to the Eighth Route Army's battle situation in the Northeast, because it almost means that the Eighth Route Army's control of Dalian is a foregone conclusion: the Jinzhou defense line on land cannot be broken through, and even the most powerful battleship of the devils at sea is useless and even captured. The Eighth Route Army also sank two of Devil's destroyers and wounded one... including two destroyers sent by Devil to Dalian Bay, which were sunk and seriously injured by Dalian Bay anti-ship missiles.

On the other hand, as long as Dalian is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the people in the Northeast will have no worries about supplies and equipment for at least half a year, and even the coastline near Dalian will be safe.

This is obvious, because the command of the sea near Dalian is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. As long as any coastal village or city is occupied by devils, five warships from the Coastal Defense Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will come and bombard it. its recaptured.

This is especially important on the Western Front, because the two pivots of the Eighth Route Army's defense line on the Western Front are Nuluerhu Mountain, which devils who are not good at guerrilla warfare do not want to face, and the other pivot is the HLD along the coast.

Since the establishment of the HLD on the Western Front, the strategic location has always been the focus of contention between the two armies, but now there is nothing to contend for.

Because even if the devils captured the HLD, they would not be able to defend it, and they couldn't even guarantee an attack on the HLD... The Eighth Route Army Navy might appear there at any time to bomb the devil's logistics supply line and flanks.

Therefore, many soldiers and civilians in the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army still have a legend: "As long as we have missiles, the devils can't win!"

There is some truth to this statement, because the Eighth Route Army has missiles, which means it can keep the navy, and with the navy, it has partial sea control. With partial sea control, the situation can be controlled in this area, and the Devil's Kwantung Army will always be blocked in semi-encirclement. Hard times.

But Wang Xuexin thinks this is wrong. He knows that it is very difficult to gain even a limited command of the sea just by relying on anti-ship missiles and a limited number of warships. Of course, victory in the Northeast cannot be guaranteed.

Wang Xuexin went to the research institute the next day.

At this time, the research institute has become the scientific research center of China, and it is the forefront. More and more equipment research and development and talents from various places are gathered here. The research and development and improvement of equipment in any place are directly or indirectly controlled by the research institute.

For example, the shipyard, although it is far away from the research institute and has crossed the war zone, but because most of the people in the shipyard are workers and technicians, and the research and development personnel are very limited, it mainly depends on the research institute.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is the reason why the coastal defense regiment used missiles.

If the warships of the coastal defense regiment still use naval guns and anti-aircraft guns as before, then there is nothing to do with the research institute.

Now that it is an anti-ship missile and an anti-aircraft missile, of course the research institute is responsible.

When he walked into the conference room, Wang Xuexin immediately felt the excitement and excitement of the researchers. Everyone in the conference room was discussing in full swing, even He Zhimin, who was usually not very gregarious, also participated in the discussion.

Before Wang Xuexin walked to the chair and sat down, several researchers asked anxiously:

"Head, we have handed over the devil 'Musashi', and we are going to repair it next, right?"

"That's right! If there is one more battleship, our coastal defense regiment won't be bullied by devils like before!"

"Not to mention anything else, our fire reinforcements to the coastal forces will also be much stronger!"

……

Wang Xuexin was not in a hurry, he turned to Professor Su and asked, "Old Su, what do you think?"

After all, Professor Su is the director of the research institute, and he also has considerable prestige among the researchers. Wang Xuexin wanted to hear his opinion first.

Professor Su was a little astonished when he heard the words, and he asked back: "Commander, are you talking about how to deal with the 'Musashi'?"

After getting Wang Xuexin's affirmative answer, Professor Su said without even thinking about it: "Of course it is repaired, it's not a question! What a wonderful warship, we can't dream of it. It's just that I think it needs to be repaired." Some improvements...”

"How to improve?" Wang Xuexin asked.

Professor Su waved his hands and said to the others: "Comrades, we can no longer use old eyes and old tactics to think about the future battlefield. Think about it, our anti-aircraft missiles are accurate and fast. In terms of cost-effectiveness, space , cost, etc. are much higher than anti-aircraft guns, so why repair anti-aircraft guns without using anti-aircraft missiles?"

All the researchers nodded in agreement.

Then Professor Su said: "The same is true for anti-ship missiles. We can no longer think about using naval guns. Our anti-ship missiles are much easier to use than naval guns, and they are not as troublesome to maintain as naval guns!"

Now someone objected:
"Boss, do you mean to dismantle the naval gun?"

"Naval guns have the advantages of naval guns. Keep them and we can provide firepower for the troops on the shore!"

Professor Su replied: "Of course you can stay, but do you need 460MM naval guns to provide firepower for the troops on the shore? And there are 9 more. In addition, the 'Musashi' has 6 155MM naval guns and 24 127MM naval guns! I think , Let’s leave a few 155MM naval guns alone!”

Then someone objected:
"If you want to keep it, keep the 460MM one, it hits far and powerful!"

"The 450MM can provide reinforcements to the land and anti-ships, killing two birds with one stone!"

……

However, this debate can already be said to be at the level of details. In the general direction, everyone agrees to keep a few naval guns, and then install anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles.

There is nothing wrong with this combat thinking.

Because modern warships are actually this model: naval guns plus anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, but modern warships also have an additional close-in defense gun... This thing is equivalent to the anti-aircraft guns of this period, but the shells are much denser and Attacked autonomously by computer control, it is the last line of defense for modern warships.

At this time, because warships have not yet achieved the miniaturization and automation of anti-aircraft guns, they can only choose between anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns.

Obviously, all of them chose anti-aircraft missiles.

Wang Xuexin was a little disappointed when he heard these discussions, because in the final analysis, this kind of thinking still did not start from the needs of the coastal defense regiment.

At this moment, Su Xin expressed a different opinion.

"I don't think we should change it like this!" Su Xin said solemnly: "The main reason is that our army has anti-ship missiles, and the devils will probably have them soon! And the accuracy may not be lower than ours at all. , and possibly even higher!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and then immediately thought of the devil's "man-flying missile".

Although the devils are not as good as the Eighth Route Army in missile technology, once they use "human manipulation" and put it on the ship...the accuracy may indeed surpass the Eighth Route Army!
