Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 680 Patrol

Wang Xuexin reported the plane to Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong was so happy that he drools: "I said Xiaobei, 30 is 30, let's not think about eating into a big fat man in one go, the road has to be taken step by step, right?" ?”

What Li Yunlong thinks in his heart is actually not the number of planes, but the habit of converting it into money...

He went on to say: "I heard that one plane is worth 45000 US dollars? The 30 planes are worth more than 100 million US dollars. It is better to have something than nothing. Do you think so?"

"Regiment leader!" Wang Xuexin frowned and said, "This is not a question of going step by step, but a question of whether there is a way to form it!"

"How to say?" Li Yunlong asked.

Wang Xuexin handed Li Yunlong a document, which was the performance data of the Hawker 81 given by Sun Erwei.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang watched it together for a while, but they didn't see any tricks.

Zhao Gang raised his head towards the document and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, do you have any knowledge here? Tell us about it!"

Wang Xuexin took the pen and paper, and said while drawing: "Look, political commissar, this is our airport. We don't have radar yet, and the external highways have been blocked by devils. The radar will not be able to come in for a while. In this way, our airport will be in danger, because we don't know when the devil planes will come to bomb our airport, and those planes parked there are like lice on the head of a bald man, aren't they the targets of the devil planes?"

Li Yunlong was a little disapproving: "Isn't the airport in your plan a hundred kilometers away? Don't you know if the Devil's plane flew over our heads?"

One hundred kilometers is an estimate made by Wang Xuexin. The existence of the plane is used to protect the air security around Yuncheng and cooperate with the tank troops to fight. If the distance is too far, it will not be able to arrive in time, which will affect the combat efficiency. If the distance is too close, it will not be safe. Easy to be attacked by devils.

"Leader, let's do the math." Wang Xuexin did the calculations on paper as he spoke: "We did know that the devil flew over our heads, and then sent a telegram to inform the airport. It would take a few minutes anyway. ?”

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement.

The telegram needs to be encrypted. Although a skilled telegrapher can send out the code in seconds, the process of ordering, sending, receiving, and decoding is indispensable. At least it will take two to three minutes, and this is still When both sides are in a normal state... Once one side is bombarded by devils or has any accidents, the time will be extended.

Wang Xuexin went on to say: "The airport received the information, and the pilot immediately ran to the plane and took off in an emergency. How can it take 10 minutes?"

Li Yunlong is not very clear about this, but if you think about it, 10 minutes will pass in the blink of an eye, and there are only two or three runways at the airport. Thirty planes are flying together, and it is estimated that only the first batch can take off in 10 minutes.

Wang Xuexin continued: "If the enemy's plane is calculated at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, it will be 13 kilometers in 108 minutes! That is to say, before our plane has time to take off, the devil's plane has already flown over the airport and dropped bombs!"

Li Yunlong suddenly realized with an "oh", nodded and said: "So that's what happened, damn it, I thought it was a hundred kilometers away, enough for our plane to prepare, but I didn't expect that it would only take ten minutes for the plane. Son!"

Zhao Gang also sighed: "I have no experience in using aircraft, so I really don't know there is such a name. This is completely different from our usual way of fighting! It is a new knowledge!"

Then Zhao Gang asked again: "So, Comrade Wang Xuexin, how should we solve this problem?"

Wang Xuexin replied: "One is to move the airport further back, for example, to a location 10 kilometers away from Yuncheng, so that there will be more warning time. But in this way... our military aircraft will fly over Yuncheng. It will take 10 minutes, and within [-] minutes, the devils may have already finished bombing and returned. Although some tactics can be used to make up for it, the cost is likely to be unaffordable for our army."

The tactics are actually very simple, that is, when the Eighth Route Army tanks are about to be dispatched, the fighter planes are sent into the air in advance to prepare for the battle.

This is Ying Jiang, so doing this is not a problem at all, Ying Jiang should even have air cover at all times, otherwise his combat plan will be considered flawed.

But the Eighth Route Army can't afford it...

The devils know that the Eighth Route Army has fighter planes flying in the sky, but they avoid fighting?

Is the fighter plane just circling aimlessly in the air?
Not to mention wasting fuel, the life of the engine and the energy of the pilots are also being consumed continuously, and then the devils estimate that the fuel of these fighter jets is almost consumed, and then attack at this time, will the Eighth Route Army fight or return?
Therefore, the long distance and the small number will make the fighters completely passive in air combat.

A large number can solve this problem. For example, 100 sorties can be flown into three batches, and several batches will fly to cover the air in turn, and some leftovers will be used as emergency substitutes.

After Wang Xuexin explained this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also thought that the distance was too far to make much sense.

Zhao Gang asked: "What about another method?"

Wang Xuexin replied: "Another method is that the fighter planes patrol regularly, for example, sending two teams of fighter planes to patrol in different directions every hour or half an hour and keep vigilant at all times. Once the intelligence of the enemy's attack is received, these fighter planes in the air can first Going to intercept the Devils bombers in a short time will not only hit the vitality of the Devils planes but also interfere with them, buying time for our main force to take off."

"This method is good!" Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Compared with the previous long-distance combat, it is more active."

But Li Yunlong saw the problem, and he said to Wang Xuexin: "But in this way, 30 planes are not enough, right?"

Li Yunlong is worthy of being a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. He can say this because he really understands this way of fighting. On the other hand, Zhao Gang, his understanding is more superficial and academic.

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin scratched out a few data on the document and said: "Yingjiang supports our fighter planes, and its maximum time in the air is about two hours, but we cannot calculate the patrol time based on the maximum time in the air. Because the fighter planes with half fuel Patrols in the air are very dangerous, even if there is a dangerous situation, they cannot be put into combat, and another reason is that a two-hour patrol is a huge test for the physical strength and energy of the pilot. Therefore, we can only calculate it in one hour."

Finally, Wang Xuexin came to a conclusion: "If there are 12 hours in the daytime, we need to have six batches of patrols, with 4 aircraft in each batch, which means that 24 sorties will be dispatched every day just for patrol missions. 30 aircraft..."

So Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang understood that the 30 planes had better not break down or be shot down, otherwise they would not even be able to complete the normal patrol.
