The latest chapter of the Military Industry System of Bright Sword

;;;;The second order Wang Xuexin gave was to build a temporary airport overnight.

;;;;The temporary airport was built at this time, which may have been too late in terms of battlefield requirements. Yu Ping had expressed concerns about this before the war.

;;;; "Battal Commander!" Yu Ping said this: "The goal of our army is to occupy the steel plant and defend it at the same time. The key point is to not be bombed by the Japanese. Then, if we wait until we occupy it before building the airport... just in case

The enemy seized the opportunity to organize bombers to bomb the steel plant at this time. Will all our efforts be in vain?"

;;;;Yu Ping’s worries are somewhat justified.

;;;;Because when the Eighth Route Army captured the steel plant, the air superiority over the steel plant was almost blank... This was determined by the fact that the "La 5" only had a range of more than 900 kilometers.

;;;;Actually, more than 900 kilometers is only the theoretical range of "La 5", that is, it can reach more than 900 kilometers when flying at high airspeed under ideal conditions. In actual combat flights, its

The voyage is only over 800 kilometers.

;;;;As a result, its combat radius is less than 300 kilometers.

;;;;The straight-line distance between Toishipo Airport and the steel plant is 200 kilometers.

;;;;In other words, the "La 5" support to the steel plant can only be done by circling the steel plant a few times and then returning after completing the mission. It cannot effectively guarantee the air superiority of the steel plant, and of course it cannot stop it.

Enemy bombers bomb the steel factory.

;;;;Wang Xuexin asked Yu Ping: "What do you mean..."

;;;;"I think we should open a temporary airport before attacking the steel plant!" Yu Ping replied: "Because only in this way can we ensure the safety of the steel plant!"

;;;;Wang Xuexin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This is indeed safer for strategic goals, but have you ever considered... The Daqingshan area is almost dominated by the Japs and the 'Self-Defense Forces', and it is not easy to open an airport.

It may be possible to hide it from them. Once the enemy knows that our army plans to open an airport, our army's strategic goals will be exposed in advance and the enemy will be prepared, which will be self-defeating!"

;;;;When Yu Ping heard this, he stopped insisting.

;;;;What Wang Xuexin said does make sense. To open an airport is to widen an open space with a length and width of at least several hundred meters, even if it is a temporary airport.

;;;;In addition, fuel and ammunition must be transported in, basic facilities and maintenance parts must be in place, and of course troops must be stationed.

;;;;How could such a huge movement be hidden from the Japanese and the Self-Defense Forces?

;;;;Once the Japanese knew that the Eighth Route Army was opening an airport in the Daqingshan area, the first thing they thought of was that the Eighth Route Army would shift its focus to the north, and then they would dispatch troops and generals to wait for the Eighth Route Army to infiltrate the Japanese trap...

;;;;Yu Ping only considered the needs of the air force and did not consider the needs of the entire strategy at all.

;;;;Wang Xuexin continued his analysis: "As for the Japanese bombing of the steel plant...First of all, the Japanese bombers and fighter jets were all deployed in the south direction of Yuncheng. They had to travel a long distance to bomb the steel plant. Even the Japanese zero

I'm afraid even Zhan can't ignore this distance!"

;;;;"Batalion Commander!" Yu Ping said: "But our army's 'La-5' fighter plane only has a total range of 800 kilometers and a combat radius of less than 300 kilometers..."

;;;;Yu Ping's meaning is very obvious. The Japanese "Zero War" has a range of 3,000 kilometers, and the "La 5" is not a series at all in this regard.

;;;;So, the devils don't need to consider the distance issue at all.

;;;; "I know!" Wang Xuexin nodded: "But Comrade Yu Ping, you seem to have forgotten one thing. The 'La 5' is the latest model of Mao Xiong's fighter plane. No one has ever seen it. At the same time, Mao Xiong will also do his best.

Every effort is made to protect its data!"

;;;;Yu Ping said "oh" and understood.

;;;;Yu Ping's concern leads to chaos. He didn't expect that the Japanese didn't know the data of "Pull 5".

;;;;If the Japs don't know the data of "La 5", of course they don't know the weaknesses of "La 5". If they don't know the weaknesses of "La 5", how can they dare to ignore the distance problem and start a war easily? Especially "La 5" is a flying machine

An extremely powerful fighter aircraft.

;;;;Yu Ping couldn't help but admire him secretly.

;;;;As the saying goes, "A war is never tired of deceit." When fighting, sometimes it is not all about strength. Most of the time, it is about playing tricks and guessing the enemy's psychology.

;;;;Finally, Wang Xuexin came to the conclusion: "Therefore, I believe we have time to build a temporary airport. Even if the devils send fighter planes and bombers to bomb the steel plant at this time... we can still use fighter planes in exchange for the safety of the steel plant!"

;;;;"In exchange for fighter planes?" Yu Ping didn't understand what Wang Xuexin meant.

;;;;Wang Xuexin nodded and explained: "The range of the 'La 5' is 800 kilometers, so let it fly 800 kilometers and fight until the last moment, and then the pilot parachutes!"

;;;; Yu Ping was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of such a tactic.

;;;;But after thinking about it, I found that it really can be done.

;;;;Because the "La 5" is a very cheap wooden fighter plane, and the pilot is a student who has been training for several months, and this is the land of China, the probability of the pilot surviving by parachuting is very high... Even in

There is also a chance of survival when parachuting in a Japanese-controlled area, because there are Eighth Route Army intelligence officers and guerrillas everywhere, and the people will spontaneously protect and hide the pilots.

;;;;The most important thing is that the steel plant is the focus of the Eighth Route Army's protection. Its safety is directly related to the future industrial development of the Eighth Route Army and even the unfolding of the northern battlefield.

;;;;Sacrifice a few "La 5"s for this key point...what's wrong with that?

;;;;Therefore, Yu Ping nodded slowly and responded: "Yes!"

;;;;Yu Ping thought to himself, Danzheng would never use such a tactic.

;;;;Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose 30 "Pull 5s" in one go.

;;;;The facts turned out to be just as Wang Xuexin thought, Okamura Neji did not seize this opportunity.

;;;;To be precise, it was not that Okamura Neji didn't catch it, but that Kono Shinta hesitated.

;;;;After Okamura Neji learned that the steel plant had been lost, he immediately realized the Eighth Route Army's intentions.

;;;;"That is a steel plant that produces high-strength steel!" Neji Okamura said anxiously: "We must not let it fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise, it will become an important foundation for the Eighth Route Army to develop industry!"

;;;;Thinking about it, Okamura Neji immediately turned his attention to the airport.

;;;;The nearest bomber squadron is more than 500 kilometers away from the steel plant, but this distance is not a problem for the empire at all, because there are empire airports everywhere in China, and these bombers can choose to refuel and transit at these airports.

;;;;"Zero War" is no longer a problem, it can easily fly directly to the steel plant to fight and then return.

;;;;But Kono Shinta stopped Okamura Neiji from doing this: "General, how much do you know about this new fighter aircraft owned by the Eighth Route Army?"

;;;;Okamura Neiji was stunned. He indeed knew nothing about this fighter plane. He only knew that it should be a Mao Xiong fighter plane.
