Chapter 522 Attack on Pearl Harbor

The problem with anti-aircraft guns is that the number is too small or too passive.

Airplanes move at high speed and can choose the battlefield at will, but it is very difficult for anti-aircraft guns to maneuver, which determines that the aircraft is the main attack and the anti-aircraft gun is the main defense.

According to the principle of "attack is greater than defense" mentioned earlier, the defensive side needs ten times or even a hundred times as many troops to defend against the enemy.

For example, the Eighth Route Army deployed anti-aircraft guns in Yuncheng, but the Devils tanks were interspersed from the flanks...

At that time, the Eighth Route Army tanks will immediately rush to the flanks to fight, so the Devil fighters will appear over the flanks to bomb the Eighth Route Army instead of over Yuncheng, so the anti-aircraft artillery positions in Yuncheng become useless.

If you really want to defend against it, you must cover the entire front line of Yuncheng with anti-aircraft guns. No matter where the devils break through, the Eighth Route Army tanks can be covered by anti-aircraft guns.

However, in this way, tens of thousands of anti-aircraft guns may not be enough, and the Eighth Route Army only has a pitiful ten.

Another problem with anti-aircraft guns is that the probability of shooting down enemy aircraft is very low.

In this era, there is a problem of setting the height of the anti-aircraft gun against the plane...

Ground-to-ground artillery is easy in this regard, because ground-to-ground artillery will fall to the ground anyway, so you only need to install a touch-detonation fuze, and the fuze will explode as soon as it hits the ground.

The artillery shells fired by the anti-aircraft gun basically do not directly hit the enemy plane. It explodes near the enemy plane and injures or shoots down the enemy plane with shrapnel or shock waves.

In this way, there is a problem: the enemy plane sometimes flies high and sometimes flies low. At what height should the anti-aircraft gun shell explode?
It is impossible to damage the target if it is too low or too high, and it is only possible to destroy it if it is about the same height as the target.

Therefore, anti-aircraft artillery shells are actually equipped with delay fuzes, and the explosion time is temporarily adjusted before launch, and then fired at the fastest speed.

Obviously, the efficiency of doing this is very low. Unless the target aircraft always maintains a certain flying altitude, the hit basically depends on saturation attack or luck. This can only be done if the gunner has considerable combat experience.

A large part of the reason why the anti-aircraft guns of the Eighth Route Army were able to successfully shoot down several 98 light explosives before was that the devils thought that the Eighth Route Army had no anti-aircraft firepower, and did not consider changing the flight altitude at all during the flight.

Anti-aircraft machine guns are even more incapable. If the enemy aircraft does not carry out low-altitude bombing, it will not be able to pose a threat to it at all.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin used the radio to contact Skinner who was still in the three stores.

"Maybe I should say this to Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin said, "But I think it's more appropriate for you to tell us that we need more anti-aircraft firepower..."

Wang Xuexin's first consideration was anti-aircraft firepower rather than aircraft, because there were not a certain number of aircraft flying into the air to fight the devils, which was basically courting death.

But Skinner immediately interrupted Wang Xuexin: "Sorry, Wang, I just received an order, except for rocket launchers, we can no longer have any technical exchanges and equipment transactions with you!"

"What?" Wang Xuexin asked, "Why?"

"I don't know the specific situation!" Skinner said helplessly, "But this is an order from the superior, and I can only obey it!"

After a pause, Skinner added: "Wang, maybe you can contact Sun Erwei, he may know more!"

In fact, Wang Xuexin understands the reason.

Sun Erwei had reminded him before that Ying Jiang did not want to anger the devils, which is why Wang Xuexin did not contact Sun Erwei but contacted Skinny.

In desperation, Wang Xuexin had no choice but to contact Sun Erwei.

As expected, Sun Erwei replied soon: "Wang, one of the conditions for the Devils to reach an 'understanding' is that we can no longer have any transactions with the Eighth Route Army! The Chennai team withdraws!"

Wang Xuexin was a little speechless. It seems that the devils also took the lead in diplomacy.

The devil's move is very clever, he is threatening Yingjiang with some kind of "peace" that was taken for granted, and the same is true for the never-setting sun.

For example, devils blatantly threatened that the sun never sets:

One, close the Burma Highway.

Second, close Hong Kong.

[-]. The sun never sets and the army retreats from the Chinese Concession.

The sun never sets must respect the devil's request, otherwise the devil will be forced to attack the colonies in Southeast Asia where the sun never sets...

In order not to break out of war, the sun never sets, so they followed suit one by one. The most important thing is to close the Burma Road.

Ying Jiang's behavior at this time is similar to that when the sun never sets. In order for the devil not to point the finger at Ying Jiang, he made various compromises.

From the perspective of national interests, the actions of Eagle Sauce and the Never Set Sun seem to be correct. They are sacrificing the interests of China to protect their own interests... The problem is that they clearly oppose aggression, war, etc., but secretly Support the aggressors in various ways and find various excuses for this.

On the other hand, they didn't realize that this was seeking skin from a tiger, and the devils couldn't be as they imagined, because they really didn't attack after they made a compromise.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was the devils who were unwilling to fight an equal war with the Chinese army.

So what if there is such a thing as an oil embargo?

The Huaxia army was under a more serious blockade, and the equipment was far from that of the devils.

Even if there is an oil embargo, the devil's equipment still has an absolute advantage.

What's more, Yingjiang's oil embargo is only official, and private companies were still transporting oil to the devils until the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Wang Xuexin didn't say anything, just replied: "You will change this bullshit policy soon!"

After finishing the call, Wang Xuexin looked at the date, and it has just entered August.

Wang Xuexin was a little frustrated.

Because he remembered that the devils attacked Pearl Harbor at the beginning of December, which meant that there were still four months before the devils and Ying Jiang broke up.

These four months seemed to be enough time for the devils to capture Yuncheng and then surround Zhongtiao Mountain.

At that time, even if Yingjiang realizes that the war is inevitable and fully assists the Eighth Route Army, will Zhongtiaoshan be powerless?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Wang Songyong staring at a telegram in astonishment, and then reported: "Battalion Commander, fight...the fight has begun!"

"What's the fight?" Wang Xuexin was a little surprised.

If the devils started to attack Yuncheng, they should be able to hear gunshots and cannons in Luotuoling, but now it is quiet.

"Ghost... devil!" Wang Songyong was blushing with excitement, and he stuttered a little: "The devil... and Yingjiang are fighting!"

"What?" Everyone in the headquarters cast doubtful glances at Wang Songyong in unison, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong.
