Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 759 Tactics
Wang Xuexin's two points are very convincing.

The former refers to the purpose of the Eighth Route Army's formation of the air force...the defense of Yuncheng enables the Eighth Route Army to be able to defend this city located on the Yuncheng Plain.

Since it is for this purpose, it is impossible for the air force of the Eighth Route Army to choose to fight at night, that is, as Major Doug said, mount rockets and give the devils a shot to finish the job.

If they are satisfied with this, the Eighth Route Army will face a very serious problem: One day, when the devils choose to attack Yuncheng during the day, they will use "zero combat" to suppress the county airport so that the Eighth Route Army fighters dare not take off, and then use bombers to deal with the Eighth Route Army tanks. It also did not dare to fight.

Therefore, although the Eighth Route Army had aircraft and tanks, they were unable to fight in the direction of Yuncheng, and there was little difference between having or not.

Can Yuncheng survive in this situation?

The latter, that is, the Devil's night fighter has already been put into the battlefield. It is no secret... In fact, the Devil's night fighter was urgently put into actual combat because of the urgency of the Pacific battlefield. It still has many shortcomings and is very crude.

This night fighter is the KI45 named "Dragon Slayer".

Its method to achieve night combat is very simple. It is to add a machine gunner behind the cockpit of the fighter jet. It's almost impossible to do.

But if a machine gunner is added to the rear to be responsible for shooting, and at the same time does not need to chase the tail of the target but flies side by side with the enemy plane, then there will be time to identify the enemy and aim (identifying the enemy and the enemy from the side is easier than identifying the rear much more).

This method can almost be described as "primitive", and it is nothing compared to the "Black Widow" that Yingjiang invested in later to use radar to achieve night battles.

But it has at least achieved night combat, and it has performed well for quite a long time... This night fighter of the Devil is even capable of intercepting the B29 that the eagle sauce is going to bomb.

The problem faced by the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army is that if it simply chooses to mount rockets to fight at night, then the Hawk 81, which does not have night air combat capabilities, will face the devil’s KI45, which has night air combat capabilities. What will happen then? Needless to say.

Major Doug was an experienced pilot, so of course he knew that.

But he still insisted on his point of view: "These problems may exist, but at that time, we have also bought time, and the pilots have more actual combat experience, don't you think so?"

Li Yueying finished translating, and before Wang Xuexin could answer, she said to Major Doug: "But Major, the battlefield is never ready, and when that happens, we are also not ready, just like Yingjiang is fighting at this time." It’s like a battle without preparation! I think our pilots should grow up in actual combat, not in training! Because we don’t have time to grow up in training, and we don’t have the conditions to grow up in training!”

Major Doug was speechless.

He knew what Li Yueying said was right, in training he would grow much slower than in actual combat, although it was safer.

Major Doug really wanted the troops to grow through training.

But will the enemy give the Eighth Route Army this chance?
No, certainly not!

The enemy has many methods, such as bombing, or using air supremacy to attack Yuncheng.

What's more, if you are suppressed by the "Zero War" and can't even take off, how can you grow in training?

Wang Xuexin added: "We have no choice, Major! Either cancel the air force, or choose air combat! There is no third way to go!"

"Okay!" Major Doug said helplessly, "Maybe you are right, but I want you to know that it is almost impossible for Eagle Sauce to send excellent pilots to reinforce us, and you know why!"

Wang Xuexin nodded.

Yingjiang's excellent pilots sacrificed a group at the beginning of the battle. At this time, Yingjiang's aircraft carrier needs them even more, and they are sent to China?It is simply a luxury.

"Then!" Major Doug said: "Based on our current conditions, if we directly engage in air combat with the enemy, there may be only one result, that is, our pilots fly into the sky in batches, and batches of our pilots are shot down by the enemy." Come down. The battle damage ratio is likely to be one to six or even higher. Have you thought about this?"

Wang Xuexin nodded again.

Although there is the tactic of dealing with the "zero battle" that Wang Xuexin said before, but it is the case of using the "wild cat" and the pilot's quality is not a problem, even so it can only reach one to three.

Now, the second-line pilots control the Hawker 81, and the battle damage ratio can reach [-]:[-], which is not bad.

Major Doug asked suspiciously: "Even so, you still want to do this? The enemy's 12 'Zero Fighters' are likely to knock down our entire air force, and we will have nothing by then!"

Wang Xuexin replied: "First of all, if we dare not go into the air to fight, what is the difference with this result?"

Major Doug didn't answer.

In his opinion, there is a difference, at least there are cards in hand to play.

Wang Xuexin did not dwell too much on this issue. He went on to say: "Secondly, we will not let the pilots risk a battle loss of one to six against the enemy to fight a war of attrition. This is meaningless! Our Eighth Route Army never does it. This loss-making business, these planes and pilots are precious to us!"

This is especially true of pilots.

If all of them are replaced, even if Yingjiang is willing to give the plane, the Eighth Route Army will never be able to gather another batch of pilots.

Major Doug said suspiciously: "But, do you have a solution? I mean, can you change the battle loss ratio?"

Wang Xuexin replied: "Although I'm not sure, I think I can give it a try!"

Major Doug spread his hands and put on a look of listening attentively, so Wang Xuexin knew that this stubborn major would not change his mind unless he was persuaded tactically.

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin said: "Our situation is that there are more fighters than the enemy! I mean, there are more 'zero battles' than the enemy!"

The 96-ship battle is not within the scope of Wang Xuexin's consideration, because its performance is on par with the Hawker 81. If you dare not fight against the 96-ship battle, then don't say anything.

Major Doug rolled his eyes helplessly: "This is not a problem that can be solved by quantity, Wang!"

Major Doug thought that Wang Xuexin had made a mistake of common sense in air combat, that is, he wanted to win by numbers.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuexin replied: "I know, major. But what if we hide the fighter jets used for air combat in the fighter planes mounted with rockets? When the enemy'Zero War' came to intercept, the fighter jets suddenly launched a counterattack ?”
