Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 943 Consultants
When Wang Xuexin was discussing the air battle with the pilots, Okamura Ningji's headquarters was also boiling.

Although, the empire was undoubtedly defeated in this battle, and it was still a big defeat... With a loss ratio of four to one, the loss was still the strongest fighter in the empire, "Zero War", which would definitely be regarded as a kind of war in normal times. Shame and even the commander has to be held accountable.

But Yoshio Shinozuka didn't think so, he thought it was a victory.

"At least, we are sure that the avoidance tactics are effective!" Shinozuka Yoshio said: "We have successfully forced the enemy to launch all the X1s ahead of time! Your Excellency General, let's attack in an all-round way, it is time to regain the air supremacy!"

Neiji Okamura did not answer, but just looked at the battle report thoughtfully, and after a while he said: "No, it is still time for a full-scale offensive, order the air force to continue to compress the patrol space of the Eighth Route Army, and continue to organize small-scale battles , and must defeat the enemy!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied helplessly.

Yoshio Shinozuka felt that Okamura Neiji was too cautious because of the previous defeats, but he did not dare to disobey Okamura Neiji's order, so he could only act according to the order.

What Shinozuka Yoshio did not expect was that such caution as Okamura Neiji was necessary.

Because Neiji Okamura is worried about one thing: If the Imperial Air Force can use tactical avoidance to counter the enemy X1, does the enemy have corresponding tactical countermeasures?
The Imperial Air Forces could not afford another defeat, and an all-out attack would probably have been the result.

Sure enough, Okamura Ningji's move really put Wang Xuexin in a dilemma.

It is not difficult to solve the defect of X1.

Okamura Ningji was right. If the Devil fighter planes can use tactics to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army can naturally respond with tactics.

The way to respond is very simple. Didn't the Devil's fighter take advantage of its excellent climbing performance to avoid it?
One X1 can't catch up with the Devil fighter, how about two?

The two-aircraft formation of the Eighth Route Army only needs to change the formation, from the original left-right formation to the up-and-down formation.

That is, one up and one down.

Then the two planes coordinated by radio while chasing the Devil fighter plane, and the upper and lower planes launched X1 at the same time... As soon as the Devil fighter plane climbed up, if it avoided one, it would be hit head-on by the other.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that if the Eighth Route Army Air Force showed such weakness, the devils would send out "Zero Fighters" to attack on a large scale, so that the Eighth Route Army could use this tactic to peel the Devil Air Force one more layer, so that the devils added a hundred "Zero Fighters" "Battle" is almost over!
However, Okamura Ningji did not attack in an all-out way, but continued to ambush the patrols of the Eighth Route Army with small troops.

This aspect is the strength of "Zero War".

Because "Zero War" has a super long range, if the auxiliary fuel tank is mounted, its range can reach more than 3000 kilometers, that is, the time spent in the air is close to six hours.

That is to say, "Zero War" can lie in ambush in the clouds of the sky for six hours once it takes off, and once it finds that "Hawk 81" appears, it will immediately gather together like a pack of wolves and attack.

This tactic may be derived from the wolf pack tactic that Hans used the submarine, but one was used in the sea and the other in the air.

So Wang Xuexin was faced with a difficult choice:

Either continue to show weakness, but this will inevitably put the patrol team in danger, and the devil may not be fooled in the end.

Either choose not to show weakness, but once the new tactics are activated, the devils will immediately know that X1 is still effective, so they will retreat to the [-]-kilometer defense line again.

Wu Guozhi believes that the Eighth Route Army can only choose the latter.

He persuaded Wang Xuexin: "Battle Commander, it's too dangerous to continue like this, we don't have many pilots..."

Wang Xuexin understands this truth. There are only about [-] skilled pilots in the Eighth Route Army Air Corps, and the rest are still growing and learning.

If they were knocked out one by one by the devil's tactic of "accumulating small victories into big victories", it wouldn't be long before the Eighth Route Army Air Force existed in name only.

However, Wang Xuexin was unwilling to give up this opportunity to hurt the devil.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin asked, "You mean, once the patrols of our army are discovered, the devils will gather several times their fighter planes to besiege our army?"

"Yes!" Wu Guozhi replied: "They often divide into upper, middle and lower layers to besiege our fighter planes to ensure that our fighter planes cannot dive and escape!"

This is a lesson learned from Yu Ping's previous battle.

Because of the speed advantage of the "Hawk 81", it is completely possible to use the dive to speed up and then leave the battlefield during wartime.

But if the Devil fighters have an absolute advantage in numbers, they can wait for the "Hawk 81" to dive below.

Two fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army Air Force have been shot down by the devil's tactics.

Wang Xuexin said: "If the big fish can't be caught, let's catch a few small fish! It's better than nothing!"

So Wu Guozhi understood Wang Xuexin's intention.

This plan is not difficult to implement. It is still a four-machine formation conducting routine patrols. When the devils "Zero War" fully assembled and launched a sneak attack on the patrol... suddenly discovered that the enemy's X1 was still working.

In addition, the fighters hiding in the clouds are not only the "Zero War" of the devils, but also the "Hawk 81" of the Eighth Route Army.

Then there was another fierce air battle. The unprepared devils "Zero War" failed to steal chickens and lost a lot of money. After being shot down, 8 planes fled in a hurry.

8 "Zero Fighters", this is just a drizzle for the previous results of the Eighth Route Army, but Neiji Okamura is very heartbroken... At this time, the Imperial Air Force only has more than [-] "Zero Fighters", if it is lost at this speed Go on, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be consumed and I will have to ask for it from Tokyo.

Neiji Okamura looked a lot older during this period, and he sighed a little weakly: "No matter what our reaction is, why is the enemy always able to solve the problem first and formulate more perfect countermeasures! This Is it necessary to continue this battle?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was very surprised to see Ningji Okamura like this.

In his impression, Okamura Ningji really has the calmness of "the mountain collapses in front of him without changing his face", which is one of the reasons why Shinozuka Yoshio respects Okamura Ningji.

But now, he suddenly didn't know Neiji Okamura in front of him.

Neiji Okamura in front of him doesn't look like a general, he is like a helpless and lonely old man.

"Your Excellency General..." Shinozuka Yoshida was about to say something, but Okamura Neiji stopped him.

"Don't say anything!" Neiji Okamura said, "Mr. Shinozuka, I don't think I'm suitable for this position anymore. I will resign from Tokyo!"

"Your Excellency..."

At this moment, a communications soldier came forward with a telegram and reported: "Your Excellency, news from Tokyo, Hans has sent a military adviser, and he will arrive at our department soon!"

Okamura Ningji was taken aback for a moment, and then the flames burned again in his eyes that were originally ashes.
