Bright Sword Military System

After hearing Wang Xuexin's analysis, Chen Songyong became a little anxious.

"Captain!" Chen Songyong suggested: "We will send the coastal defense regiment out immediately for reinforcements!"

"Coastal defense regiment?" Wang Xuexin asked: "How can the coastal defense regiment defeat the Japanese fleet?"

"We..." Chen Songyong thought for a while and replied: "Our anti-aircraft missiles can ensure our own safety, and we can use anti-aircraft missiles and torpedo attack aircraft to push back the Japanese warships!"

Zhang Zongping agreed: "I think we can give it a try. No matter how fast the Japanese's new carrier-based aircraft is, it cannot be faster than our anti-aircraft missiles. In this way, the Japanese cannot attack our fleet! But our military can be within the range of anti-ship missiles." I'll beat the devil inside!"

Wang Xuexin shook his head and said: "Do you really think that the Japanese can't attack our fleet? Anti-aircraft missiles can't protect the safety of my fleet!"

Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping looked puzzled. If the Japanese fighter planes cannot break through the anti-aircraft missiles of our fleet and will be shot down one by one, how can they still threaten the safety of the fleet?

Without waiting for Chen and Zhang to ask, Wang Xuexin replied: "The enemy's establishment is three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and seven destroyers, while our army has a total of one light cruiser and fourteen destroyers. Although the number But these fourteen destroyers are all behind the Japanese destroyers, and their firepower and defense are not as good as the Japanese destroyers, let alone the Japanese light cruisers and heavy cruisers!"

There is another point that Wang Xuexin did not mention, and that is the maintenance of the Mao Xiong "Wrath-class" destroyer.

The second batch of 10 "Wrath-class" destroyers sold to the Eighth Route Army by Mao Xiong was sold at a low price of US$500 million, so Mao Xiong selected the 10 worst-maintained ships from the active service, and two of them were even destroyed by the Han Dynasty. It was bombed and only half repaired.

On Wang Xuexin's side, it's enough to just buy them at a low price. What's more, the Eighth Route Army mainly installs anti-ship anti-aircraft missiles for them, so they don't insist on their performance.

The seven Japanese destroyers are the largest and best Qiuyue-class destroyers, with a full load displacement of 3800 tons and equipped with four twin-mounted 100MM anti-aircraft guns (8) and 13 machine guns (can be used for anti-ship) .

These are not comparable to the "Wrath-class" with a full load displacement of only 2400 tons and four 130mm main guns.

In particular, the Japanese also have many light and heavy patrols.

(Note: The most powerful destroyer of the Japanese during World War II should be the "Qiuyue" class. Although there were "Song" class and "Orange" class after it, these two types of destroyers were the most powerful destroyer of the Japanese when the Japanese were seriously short of resources at the end of the war. The combat effectiveness of destroyers pursuing small mass production is far inferior to the "Akiyuki" class)

Zhang Zongping understood the meaning of Wang Xuexin's words: "The captain is saying that the Japanese will seek close combat with our fleet?"

"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied: "If our fighter planes cannot defeat the Japanese, and the Chinese fighter planes cannot break through our anti-aircraft missiles, what other options are there besides close combat?"

Chen and Zhang fell silent for a moment.

It would be okay if the Eighth Route Army's Coastal Defense Regiment fights medium- and long-range battles: long-range battles involve fighter planes, mid-range battles rely on missiles, and close combat is the weakest link of the Coastal Defense Regiment.

The first reason is that the "Wrath-class" is not maintained well, and the second is that the coastal defense regiment has insufficient training... The coastal defense regiment has only been established for a few months and has very limited naval gun training.

If this breaks out into a close battle, the coastal defense regiment will most likely suffer.

On the other hand, if the coastal defense regiment does not have an aircraft carrier, it can use the "fight backwards" tactic.

However, the "fight backwards" tactic is actually useless, because if the Japanese have air superiority, their carrier-based aircraft can accurately intercept missiles...

So after much deliberation, the coastal defense group couldn't win.

Wang Xuexin has known this for a long time, which is why he never let the coastal defense regiment go into battle.

The reason why Ozawa Jisaburo pulled out such a lineup was to figure out how to deal with the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment.

Then Chen Songyong asked again: "Commander, can our army's improved air-to-air missiles be launched?" This question was to the point.

Ultimately, the coastal defense regiment is constrained by the fact that the carrier-based aircraft "Wildcat" is too backward. Even if it uses existing anti-aircraft missiles, it cannot compete with the Japanese new fighter jets.

But it will be different if a new type of anti-aircraft missile is used, that is, a missile with new fuel such as tetrahydrofuran and aluminum powder. This missile, which is nearly twice the speed of sound and reaches a speed of 2100 kilometers per hour, can undoubtedly shoot down any current missile. Fighters, maybe even the "J-2" can't escape...it's actually an anti-aircraft missile brought into the air.

But Wang Xuexin shook his head and replied: "I just asked the research institute, and Professor Su's answer is that it will take at least half a month before a batch can be produced!"

Although the missile has not been redesigned, because the thrust is different, the entire missile's flight control system needs to be replaced and tested... The original flight control system is set for the old fuel, and the result of not replacing it is that the missile will do things in the air. Brownian motion.

Therefore, half a month is considered fast. Professor Su added "at least" in front of it, which means that he probably won't be able to get out in half a month.

Since air-to-air missiles are like this, air-launched anti-ship missiles are about the same.

"Half a month..." Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping couldn't help feeling frustrated when they heard this answer.

By the time half a month later, the Japanese would have successfully occupied Donggang.

Faced with the current situation, Wang Xuexin has no good solution. This can be said to be a loophole in the Eighth Route Army's combat system:
The coastal defense regiment’s carrier-based aircraft are weak.

The "J-1" has a shortcoming in range.

Anti-ship missiles are slow and easy to intercept, which is a shortcoming.

The small number of "J-2" is a shortcoming.

All the shortcomings combined created a gap that was too late to make up for. It was precisely when Ozawa Jizaburo saw this gap that he took the initiative to take action, catching Wang Xuexin off guard.

Then Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping came up with many ideas. They even thought of transferring Li Changfu's mechanized brigade or night vision goggles to Donggang for reinforcements, but they were all rejected by Wang Xuexin one by one.

"Night vision devices won't be of much use in Donggang because the Japanese attack during the day."

"The mechanized brigade must be placed on the front line of the Yalu River, otherwise the Yalu River defense line will be full of holes!"

"Besides, the Japanese will use the warships' guns to blast the shore. Isn't it a waste if the mechanized brigade goes up?"

……

Just when Wang Xuexin was discussing with two staff officers, he heard the communications soldier come forward and report: "Captain, Donggang has been bombed by the Japanese fleet!"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, it came so fast!"

Ozawa Jisaburo actually knows very well that this battle is about time.

What he was worried about was not the new air-to-air missiles or air-launched anti-ship missiles that were about to appear in the Eighth Route Army. After all, he didn't know about these two things yet.

What he is worried about is the Eighth Route Army's "J-2"... Once the Eighth Route Army produces more "J-2" and flies into the sky, then his plan will die before it starts.

Therefore, Ozawa Jisaburo launched an artillery bombardment on Donggang before the army was ready to attack.
