Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 768

Principal Tang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded nervously and said, "Yes, it's today, they should be on their way, what do you mean..."

Wang Xuexin did not explain, and immediately ordered: "Contact Yingjiang immediately and let them warn the pilot!"

Principal Tang responded, grabbed the phone and dialed Major Doug's office.

Major Doug immediately used the radio to try to call the newly joined fighter planes that might still be in the air, but found nothing... Maybe they haven't entered the communication range of the radio, or they are worried about being discovered by the enemy, so they are in radio silence. Usually try to contact Wanxian Airport within 10 minutes of Wanxian Airport, and Wanxian Airport will be ready to guide them to land.

Wang Xuexin and Principal Tang rushed to Major Doug's office immediately.

At this time, Major Doug's contact is the most important compared to the airport command.

But Major Doug just shook his head regretfully, and said, "Now, I can only hope that they are lucky enough to escape this disaster!"

Wang Xuexin's heart sank. He never believed in luck. He thought that even if he had luck, it would favor those who were prepared and worked hard.

But now... Wang Xuexin was clearly missing the point. He didn't expect that the devil would think of going deep into the hinterland of the recalcitrant army to actively intercept Yingjiang's fighter plane to reinforce the Eighth Route Army.

But why not?
Whether or not the stubborn army has an air force is the same. The devil's "zero battle" can enter the sky above it as if there is no one in it, so why don't they intercept it?

To put it simply, it is to use "zero war" to implement a complete blockade of the Wanxian Airport of the Eighth Route Army: neither the fighter planes from Wanxian Airport will be allowed to take off, nor other fighter planes will be allowed to reinforce Wanxian Airport.

In this situation, Wang Xuexin had no choice but to say: "They should choose to fly at night!"

Major Doug replied: "It was originally planned to fly at night, but Major Carlos believes that the enemy only has 12 'Zero Fighters', and they should not be too worried!"

Major Carlos was the commander of a group of experienced pilots sent by General Doolittle.

Doolittle sent not only 30 people, but a complete aviation brigade, including 32 fighter planes. The 32 Hawker 81 pilots were all front-line pilots with combat training, and Major Carlos was in the Pacific Ocean. A pilot who has fought devils on the battlefield.

Doolittle hopes that Major Carlos can lead this group of elites to open up a new situation at Wanxian Airport... including protecting the airspace of Wanxian Airport so that pilots have time for training, and learning and verifying the new tactics Wang Xuexin said .

If it was before that, Doolittle had no plans to do so, and neither did Eagle Sauce's top executives.

But after Wang Xuexin proposed a new tactic, which is to use the speed advantage to bite the tail of the "Zero", this has extraordinary significance for Yingjiang.

Doolittle also thought about throwing aside the China battlefield and experimenting on the Pacific battlefield.

But there are several problems that cannot be bypassed.

First of all, the most direct problem is that the Eagle Sauce carrier-based aircraft is slower than the "Zero War" and cannot implement wave tail-biting tactics.

Secondly, Yingjiang may choose to take off fighter jets from land bases to implement this tactic, but this is also unrealistic.

The reason is that "Zero War" has another advantage, that is, its ultra-long range. If this thing is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, its range can reach more than 3000 kilometers, while Yingjiang's P40 only has a range of more than 1000 kilometers.

If the P40 takes off from the land base to fight the "Zero War", it will face a problem: "Zero War" does not need to fight the P40 at all, they only need to hide and seek with the P40 for a while to consume their fuel, and wait for the P40 fuel to be almost the same When not returning, attack again at this time...

Needless to say what is the result of such an air battle, whether the P40 wins or loses, it will end in annihilation of the entire army.

This does not include the psychological pressure on the pilot: When the pilot knows that he is short of fuel, he often dare not fight with the enemy plane, because as long as he chases and circles, it means that he cannot return to the airport and can only land on the sea. .

Therefore, this is not a question of training level and tactics, but a question of strategy.

(Note: In modern times, when the sun never sets to attack the Falklands, the Argentine Air Force suffers from this aspect. Its land-based fighters hardly dare to fight with the fighters from the aircraft carrier where the sun never sets, and can only be passively beaten.)

Therefore, Doolittle turned his attention to Huaxia.

The Huaxia battlefield is different from Yingjiang's Pacific battlefield.

The Huaxia battlefield is conducted on land, and the enemy and our airports are relatively close to each other, less than 200 kilometers away, which is in line with the combat distance of the Hawker 81.

Hawker 811000 kilometers of the longest range is calculated as follows: [-] kilometers to fly over, [-] kilometers to fly back, and some cruise and combat losses, so the combat radius is not [-] kilometers, but about [-] kilometers .

With such a calculation in mind, Doolittle sent Major Carlos and his aviation brigade to China...Major Carlos and his subordinates are all pilots who have been flying P40s to fight against the enemy in China for many years.

That's what Doolittle thought about. After these pilots verified this tactic in the Huaxia battlefield, if Yingjiang didn't want to part with it one day, he could call them back.

In addition, they also have many advantages in staying in Huaxia.

For example, it is conducive to the development of Wanxian Airport and causes more trouble for the devils.

For another example, when this batch of vital forces joined the Wanxian Airport, the Devils could not hold back with 12 "Zero Fighters", so the number of "Zero Fighters" had to be increased accordingly.

In any case, it was beneficial to Yingjiang, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately sent the Carlos brigade over.

At this time, Major Carlos was looking at the densely packed houses on the ground from the flying fighter plane. He was full of curiosity about this strange and backward country, and secretly wondered, how could anyone know so many advanced people in such a country? air combat tactics?
At this time, Major Carlos didn't realize that the danger was approaching him step by step.

It should be said that Major Carlos underestimated the enemy.

No wonder Major Carlos underestimated the enemy.

Because the aviation brigade he led has practiced the tactics against "zero battle" countless times in China, which is the scissors cross and dive escape tactics proposed by Wang Xuexin before.

Although with these tactics, it is still impossible to take advantage of the "Zero War", but it has already formed a battle loss ratio of 1:3.

The eagle sauce pilot has 32 fighters, and the enemy has only 12.

Then based on the calculation of the battle loss ratio of 1:3, the enemy and the enemy should be evenly matched.

There is nothing wrong with this calculation, but Major Carlos overlooked one point. The air combat performance of the Hawker 81 is not as good as that of the "Wildcat Fighter". Although the speed is slightly higher, the maneuverability and firepower are far from each other.
