Chapter 1721 Night Fighter

The independent battalion has about 800 people, but this is the initial number. After the training, Zhang Zihui thinks that 500 people are enough... He thinks that night battles do not need to be too large, and that with the help of night vision devices, they can suppress enemy firepower And clear on it.

Even under normal circumstances, Zhang Zihui didn't intend to let his troops charge.

"Assault, close combat, and hand-to-hand combat can be used by ordinary troops!" Zhang Zihui said: "Our army is responsible for mid-range and long-range suppression, and we don't have direct contact with devils unless necessary!"

Wang Xuexin did not object, because they were troops equipped with night vision devices, and night vision devices were installed on half-track vehicles and tanks.

If night vision goggles are popularized on individual soldiers, it makes sense to let them fight devils in close combat, but if they are installed on half-track cars and tanks, of course they are not suitable for contact with devils... These equipment are very dangerous in close contact with devils Yes, because at that time the devils came up with cluster grenades carrying explosives.

So Zhang Zihui's thinking is correct. During the war, his troops should be suppressed at a medium and long distance, so as to take advantage of the firepower of tanks and half-track vehicles and the advantages of night vision. As for the [-] infantry, their task is more to prevent the devils from approaching. Protect tanks and half-tracks instead of charging.

The training is left to Zhang Zihui, and Wang Xuexin is more concerned with the development of equipment.

The equipment ordered from Yingjiang and Ribuluona was sent to Taiyuan one after another... The first to arrive was Yingjiang's night fighter radar. The model of this radar was "AN/ASP-6", and the first batch of ten sets.

After the test, there was no problem. The display screen could show a target about three kilometers away...the distance is not very far, but considering that Yingjiang's fighter plane is still in the mode of "chasing the rear and shooting down the target with a machine gun", it is three times for them. Kilometers are enough.

The research institute was arguing over whether this radar should be installed on the "La 5" fighter or on the "Mosquito".

Some people think it should be installed on "La 5", the representative is Professor Su:
"'La 5' is a fighter, and what we want is also a night fighter. How can a fighter be changed with a bomber?"

"That's right! What's more, the speed of 'Mosquito' is not faster than that of 'La 5', both of them are about 630 kilometers per hour!"

"One more thing, our pilots are used to flying 'La 5', if they change to 'Mosquito', will they have to be retrained?"

Those represented by He Zhimin supported the "mosquito" reform:

"The total weight of this radar is more than 1000 kilograms, which has reached the maximum take-off load of 'La 5'!"

"Even if we use transistor integrated circuits to reduce its weight, 'La 5' can't carry many weapons and fuel! "

"Using 'La 5'" is likely to cause many unknown problems! "

The two factions said that the public was right and the woman was right, neither of them could convince the other, and in the end they had no choice but to invite Wang Xuexin to be the referee.

After listening to the reports of both parties in the conference room, Wang Xuexin probably understood:
Professor Su is considering the quick formation of combat effectiveness. If the Mosquito is modified, the pilot will have to be retrained, and although the Mosquito flies fast, it is large in size and not strong in maneuverability, so it is not suitable for chasing in combat.

He Zhimin considers the practicality of the battlefield. The Mosquito has a large load capacity, and it is not a problem to install a radar weighing more than 1000 kilograms. There is still a lot of room for expansion in the future.

Wang Xuexin supports He Zhimin, because this is a night fighter, and the Eighth Route Army uses air-to-air missiles for combat, so it does not need to tail-bite the target, so it does not require high mobility.

But the follow-up expansion is very important, for example, it can also be changed to a night bomber.

But Wang Xuexin didn't say it directly. He discussed this issue from a different angle: "Comrades, our radar, it is not easy to install it on the plane, right?"

"Technically, there is no problem, but it is indeed a little troublesome!" Su Xin nodded and said: "Because it needs to install the antenna on the wing, and install the radar components on the pod. Add a radar screen!"

"That's right!" Wang Xuexin asked again: "How long is the life span of our 'La 5'?"

"30 to 50 hours..." Su Xin understood before she finished speaking.

The lifespan of "La 5" is only 30 to 50 hours, which may not be a big deal for fighter jets in high-intensity combat, because it is very difficult for them to survive for such a long time in air combat. Even if they survive for 50 hours, the fuselage will be everywhere. It's bullet holes or repairs, and it doesn't hurt to change it.

But if it is used as a night fighter, is there such a combat intensity?

Wang Xuexin concluded: "Our combat target is the devil's 'Moonlight' night fighter. This fighter basically relies on the rear seat machine gun to shoot down enemy aircraft, that is, it mainly relies on vision, while our army uses radar and air-to-air missiles. We can destroy the target a few kilometers away, and the enemy has not even found us at that time! This intensity should not be expected, right?"

Professor Su and others nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they also realized that they were wrong: if the night combat intensity is not high, it means that the survival rate of this night fighter is very high, and because the devils implement poison gas blockade everywhere, the attendance rate of this night fighter will also be very high. quick!

The survival rate is high, and the attendance rate is also high. If you use the "La 5", the life span will expire in a few days and you will not be able to use it. At that time, will you have to change the radar installed to another "La 5"?

But the "mosquito" engine uses the famous Merlin engine...During World War II, it was one of the best in aviation technology, and even Yingjiang had to import aviation engines from the sun never sets.

This makes the "Mosquito" three times the life of the "La 5", which is obviously more suitable for the intensity and needs of night fighters.

After thinking about it for a while, Professor Su nodded in agreement and said, "I don't have a problem, I should use the 'mosquito style' to change it, but the pilot..."

"Start training now!" Wang Xuexin replied.

This was something he hadn't thought of before. He always thought that if there were planes and pilots, there would be no problem in fighting night fighters.

Who would have thought that the pilots were on bombing missions, and they would not be able to fight in the air, especially with the air-to-air missiles of the Eighth Route Army.

"Also!" Wang Xuexin suddenly thought of another point, he said: "We should apply the technology of light-emitting diodes to night fighters!"

Wang Xuexin's statement immediately won the unanimous approval of the researchers.

It is very difficult for the pilot to read the data from the instrument at night. All he can rely on is the faint light on the instrument to see the pointer to know the altitude, speed, direction, etc.

But if these data are displayed directly with light-emitting diodes, of course it will bring great convenience!
