Chapter 1883 Anti-ship Missile
Building the airport is actually the most cost-effective thing during this period.

For the Eighth Route Army, all it requires is some manpower, or even asking fellow villagers to do it for them. They go into the mountains to find a relatively flat land, and then cut down trees to level the land. If the place cannot be filled, a platform is used to build it like a bridge. Level up!
Then you can wait for the Japanese artillery and aviation to blow up.

The Eighth Route Army consumes manpower, but the Japanese consume aviation, artillery shells, and aerial bombs, and their troops are still being dragged here.

But even if the Japanese knew it was a trick, they couldn't do anything about it.

Because once this airport is built by the Eighth Route Army, it will be no joke. The "La 5" of several Eighth Route Army aviation teams can resupply here and then take off for combat. By then, whether the Japanese can even hold Donggang will be a problem.

At this time, good news came from the research institute: the air-launched anti-ship missile was successfully developed.

Wang Xuexin did not expect that air-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles were the first to be successfully developed.

Wang Xuexin always believed that anti-ship missiles are much larger than air-to-air missiles and therefore more difficult to develop.

The reason for anti-ship missiles is that they must carry enough explosives, otherwise they will not be able to cause damage to the Japanese fleet.

Air-to-air missiles have much smaller volume requirements. They rely on a continuous short-rod warhead rather than destroying and damaging targets, so they do not need to carry much explosives.

But after asking, Wang Xuexin discovered that anti-ship missiles are easier to develop precisely because they are larger.

Professor Su said this:

"The anti-ship missile is large and has a lot of space redundancy, so we directly upgraded its flight control system by adding transistors and modifying circuits!"

"Air-to-air missiles will not work. We need to redesign and integrate the flight control system, so it will take longer!"

"On the other hand, the accuracy required by the two is also different!"

"The target of the anti-ship missile is a warship, the boss one!"

"The target of air-to-air missiles is fighter aircraft. The target is small and fast, and requires higher accuracy and reaction speed!"

……

After listening to Professor Su's explanation, Wang Xuexin discovered that there was such a big difference between the two. Wang Xuexin originally thought that both missiles chased the target and then exploded. What was the difference?

Now it seems that I am still ignorant.

But Wang Xuexin didn't know that it didn't matter. He asked: "How many anti-ship missiles can be produced in a week?"

"Probably..." Professor Su thought about it for a moment and then replied: "Probably three can be produced, right? In terms of production, anti-ship missiles will be slower because the tetrahydrofuran required is several times that of air-to-air missiles!"

Wang Xuexin does know that tetrahydrofuran is still the bottleneck of new missiles, and this can only be guaranteed after the production of anti-aircraft missiles is stopped.

Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "No problem, let's go all out to produce a few anti-ship missiles first, and then consider diversion when the air-to-air missiles are developed!"

"Yes!"

After Professor Su left, Chen Songyong said worriedly: "Captain, we can only produce three pieces a week, which is far from enough for our army! The Japanese fleet has a total of fifteen ships including aircraft carriers..."

"Almost!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Now at least the coastal defense regiment can be guaranteed to be invincible!" "This..." Chen Songyong looked at Wang Xuexin doubtfully.

There are only three pieces a week, and even if they are produced for two weeks, there are only six pieces. How can we ensure that the coastal defense regiment is "undefeated"?
Looking at Chen Songyong who was puzzled, Wang Xuexin asked back: "Commander Chen, think about it, if the Japanese have a new type of fighter plane, on which aircraft carrier will they put the new type of fighter plane?"

Chen Songyong had never thought about this problem, but now he understood it when Wang Xuexin asked him: "'Dafeng'?"

Wang Xuexin nodded: "Of course it's the 'Dafeng'! The new Japanese fighter jet is different from the old Japanese 'Zero War' in terms of size, take-off and landing distance, ammunition supply and logistical maintenance. It can only be placed in the 'Big Air Force'." On board the Phoenix!"

"Size" does not seem to be a big deal here. New fighters are usually larger than the "Zero Fighter", so the hangar size and elevators need to be larger, which cannot be accommodated by the old aircraft carrier.

At this point, Chen Songyong understood something: "So, we only need to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier 'Dafeng', and it is possible to destroy all the new Japanese fighter jets!"

But then Chen Songyong said: "But commander, even so, three or six anti-ship missiles are still too few. Let's not talk about how many of them can break through the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower. Even if they all break through and hit, six anti-ship missiles are still too few." Anti-ship missiles can't sink the 'Taifeng', right?"

Wang Xuexin nodded.

Anti-ship missiles, even air-launched anti-ship missiles that are several times faster, cannot guarantee that they can break through the air defense firepower blasted by the Japanese anti-aircraft guns. It can only ensure that the Japanese fighter planes cannot keep up and cannot intercept.

However, Wang Xuexin also considered this point. He replied: "First of all, the Japanese do not know that our army has air-launched anti-ship missiles, so in terms of anti-air firepower, they mainly focus on defending our army's fighter jets and original anti-ship missiles. If We first let the original anti-ship missiles take the lead, and then suddenly launch several anti-ship missiles from fighter planes with speeds several times higher..."

Chen Songyong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Japanese anti-aircraft firepower will definitely be attracted by the original anti-ship missiles, but the new anti-ship missiles use another orbit to attack the enemy from a high altitude, and at its speed, it is very likely that it will have hit the target before the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower can react. .

Therefore, if you do this, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower may not need to be considered at all.

"As for whether six can sink it!" Wang Xuexin continued: "We don't need to sink the target, we just need to blow a hole in its deck so that it can't take off and land fighters!"

Chen Songyong suddenly realized.

If an aircraft carrier cannot take off and land fighter jets, it is almost like withdrawing from the battle.

By then the Japanese will have only two aircraft carriers left, and their fighter planes will also be old-fashioned "zero combat."

The combat effectiveness of the "Zero War" is comparable to that of the "Wildcat", and the "Wildcat" can compete with it even if it uses original air-to-air missiles.

No wonder the regiment leader said that the coastal defense regiment was in an invincible position.

"But..." Wang Xuexin then said: "Our goal should not just be 'invincible'! If the Japanese fleet is sent back, there will be endless troubles in the future!"

Wang Xuexin is worried about the mass production of the Japanese "Gale Wind" carrier-based aircraft.

Although the Eighth Route Army's new air-to-air missiles may be able to deal with the "Gale"... I use "maybe" here because it is not necessarily certain. After all, the "Gale" is much faster than the "Wildcat", and the "Wildcat" may not be sure about the "Gale". position, even if there are missiles, they may not be able to hit it.

Another is that the Eighth Route Army’s new air-to-air missile production is too small.

If the Japanese "Liefeng" enters mass production and reaches a large scale, it will still be a major threat to the Eighth Route Army on the sea!
