Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 750 Mountain Air Force
No wonder Lemon Lokoff thinks so.

There is basically no such thing as "winning with quantity" in air combat.

This situation is very common for infantry. Whether it is infantry or tanks, even if the quality and quality are not as good as the enemy, there are many cases of launching a charge with an absolute numerical advantage and finally winning battles.

But air combat...

If the speed is not as good as the enemy plane, it means that all fighters, that is, the entire model, are inferior to the enemy plane, so they are doomed to fail to keep up with the target and can only be bitten by the tail of the opponent, and then one after another is shot down. Su Su can't change this weakness.

Therefore, the Maoxiong Air Force is undergoing reforms. One of the reforms is to convert the pilots who originally flew the old models to fly the new models or adapt to the Hawker 81 that is reinforced by Eagle Sauce... Although the new models are not enough at this time, But pilot training takes time, so it should be the pilot waiting for the plane, not the plane waiting for the pilot.

As for the old models, they were basically abandoned by Mao Xiong.

Because Mao Xiong is also facing the same problem as Eagle Sauce...Flying backward fighter planes will go to the sky to engage in air combat with the enemy. As a result, there will be fewer and fewer pilots who are already scarce. In the future, even if advanced fighter planes are produced, there will be no pilots to fly.

But now, Wang Xuexin is doing the opposite, suggesting that Mao Xiong trains old fighter jets to prepare.

Lemon Lokov suspected that he had heard it wrong, or did the Chinese Battalion Commander think that Mao Xiong didn't have any new fighters?
"Our new fighter is under development and production!" Lemon Lokov reminded: "We are preparing for this!"

"I know!" Wang Xuexin replied: "But you still need old fighters, I mean... don't eliminate them all at once, or put them all on rockets!"

Wang Xuexin made this suggestion because he was actually worried about triggering a chain reaction.

The Maoxiong Air Force in history is basically in a dormant state at this stage. What if the old aircraft are used up because of my suggestion, and there will be no old aircraft to use in the Caucasus campaign?
One of the reasons why Hans was unable to defeat the Caucasus in history was that Mao Xiong's old-fashioned fighters shined brilliantly in the Caucasus.

The Caucasus Mountains are full of mountains and mountains, and combat aircraft in such areas cannot fly at high speed.

Flying too fast, one is too late to turn and climb, and the other is that the pilot has insufficient reaction time, so flying at high speed is almost tantamount to suicide.

As a result, Hans' fighter plane had to slow down, which made the Hans pilot very uncomfortable, while Mao Xiong's old-fashioned fighter plane was able to fight here like a fish in water.

If, because of Wang Xuexin's proposal of rockets, Mao Xiong generously changed all the old fighters into mounted rockets and sent them to the battlefield... Then what will be used to protect the sky of the Caucasus?
Once the Caucasus is lost, what Hans gets is a granary with a warm climate and the Baku oil field, which is of great help to Hans.

Wang Xuexin didn't know how to tell Lemon Lokoff. He thought for a while and said, "I heard that Hans has formed several mountain divisions?"

"Yes!" Lemon Lokoff nodded: "It's not a secret, everyone knows it!"

This is indeed no secret, because Hans' mountain division has already appeared on the battlefield, and it is famous all over the world, especially in the battle against Gaul when it crossed the mountains and bypassed the Maginot Line to force it to surrender.

Lemon Lokov didn't know why Wang Xuexin mentioned this at the beginning, but the next second he stared at Wang Xuexin with wide eyes and said, "You mean... Hans will use the mountain division to attack our army?"

Mao Xiong didn't think of this from the beginning to the end, which can be seen from Mao Xiong's lack of preparation when the Caucasus Battle broke out.

Because they thought that the purpose of Hans' formation of the mountain division was to deal with Gaul.

"Why not?" Wang Xuexin asked back: "If I have a few elite mountain troops, why don't I send them to fight in the mountains? Are they still allowed to charge towards your fortifications or defense lines like ordinary infantry?"

Lemon Lokov nodded slowly, what he said was correct.

At this time, Hans' main opponent is Mao Xiong, and the other opponent is the never-setting sun, but the battlefield where the sun never sets is in Africa, and the mountain division is not needed.

The only place where mountain divisions can be used is Mao Xiong.

"My God!" Lemon Lokov exclaimed: "You reminded us, Comrade Wang Xuexin! We should also form mountain troops! If Hans attacks, they will definitely attack the Caucasus, where they urgently need oil fields! "

It's not hard to guess that what Hans lacks most is oil.

However, Wang Xuexin disagreed with Lemon Lokov's opinion: "I think it seems too late for you to form a mountain army now, especially if the opponent is Hans' mountain army!"

If the opponent is a devil, it is not a problem to temporarily train the mountain troops like Wang Xuexin. After all, the devil's mountain combat is not professional.

But if the opponent is Hans... Their mountain troops have been trained in the harsh conditions of the Alps for several years, and they are the elite.

Mao Xiong is only training now, and he has no clue, how can he possibly be able to compete with him.

"You mean..." Then Lemon Lokoff understood: "Air force? You mean to use the air force to suppress the enemy's mountain troops!"

Wang Xuexin nodded slightly.

This can also be said to be a kind of "asymmetric warfare".

The enemy has mountain troops. If you want to deal with the enemy, you must not follow the trend and train mountain troops... Of course, you still need mountain troops, after all, you are fighting in the Caucasus Mountains.

But the focus shouldn't be on the mountain troops themselves. If they do, they won't be able to compare to enemies with rich combat experience.

At this time, it is time to find another way to compete with the enemy on another level.

Wang Xuexin explained: "Fighters cannot fly at high speed in mountainous areas, so Hans advanced fighters cannot take advantage of their speed, and your old fighters have an advantage in numbers, so it is possible to seize air supremacy in mountainous areas. If you seize air supremacy... Will the battle still be lost?"

Air supremacy is too important for mountain warfare. It may take several days for bullets and shells to be transported up. Fighters only need one climb to drop bombs on the enemy's position, or drop supply boxes to their own camp.

Lemon Lokov couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words, and said repeatedly: "That's right, Comrade Wang Xuexin! Your analysis is very correct. We should form a mountain air force instead of a mountain army! No, to be precise, it is two Every unit must be formed! The focus is on the aviation team, while the mountain unit should focus on air-ground coordination, isn’t that right?”

Wang Xuexin was a little surprised by Lemon Lokov's words. This guy is very expert when it comes to mountainous areas.

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Lemon Lokoff was a Caucasian, a child who grew up in the mountains.
