Ron saw the remaining Ki-44 "Zhong Kui" interceptors turn around and fly towards the landing. He knew that this round of the contest was over. In this round of the contest, Rì himself failed to shoot down even a single B-29 bomber, and the Americans failed to hit the target they were trying to attack. However, in general, in this round of competition, it is still rì ben who suffers. First of all, in any case, although the bombs dropped by the Americans did not hit the main target, they were crooked, and they always hit something. Secondly, during this bombing, the B-29 group also damaged two Ki-44 "Zhong Kui" interceptors. But in terms of exchange ratio, rì still loses more. However, this air raid was extremely unsatisfactory, because the efficiency of such a bombing was too low.

"How can we solve this problem?" Ron thought as he sat in the relatively comfortable cabin of the B-29 bomber.

Later, Ron recalled, Lee May succeeded General Hansel as commander of the 21st Bomber Wing. He also faced this problem at that time. At that time, Li Mei changed the traditional daytime bombing of the US bomber force to night bombing, because there were no decent night fighters at all. There was little threat to American bombers. Moreover, Li Mei also shifted the target of attack from mainly attacking industry to attacking living targets, and replaced the high-explosive bombs thrown with incendiary bombs, because there are many wooden houses, which are easy to burn and more likely to cause greater casualties.

"Do you want to tell General Hansel about this idea?" Ron thought, "If such a suggestion were made to him, wouldn't that be tantamount to snatching the credit from Li May and sending it to General Hansel?" This does not seem to be fair to General Li Mei. Li Mei is also a friend of Ron, and although Li Mei can't know about his credit like this, Ron still feels a little embarrassed.

However, Ron immediately considered that, first of all, using this strategy can defeat the rì ben devil faster, and in addition, it can also reduce the time for the Chinese people to suffer under the iron hooves of rì ben. At the same time, it can also reduce the casualties of American soldiers. With all this in mind, perhaps this plan should be discussed with General Hansel.

……

"Ron, you went out with the bomber group, do you have any ideas?" General Hansel asked.

"Ah, General, I have found that the attack efficiency of such a bombing is indeed too low." "Our bombing altitude was so high that if there was a slight disturbance in the airflow, our bombs wouldn't know where to fall," Ron said. ”

"Yes. However, if we lower the altitude, we will be hit by the enemy. Unless there are escort fighters, there is no way for us to reduce the altitude. It may be that we will have to wait a little longer for the Navy to take down an island suitable for an advance airfield for escort fighters before we can launch a lower altitude high-jīng bombardment. General Hansel said.

"Actually, well, I do have some ideas." Ron said.

"What's the solution?" General Hansel asked. In Land Airlines, Ron was already known for his resourcefulness. Previously, he was recognized as an expert in tactics for the No. 1 fighter of the Army Aviation, but in the Army Aviation the status of the fighter has always been inferior to that of the bomber. So, the fame of the tactical expert of the No. 1 fighter is not a big deal. This can be seen from the fact that Chennault, who was also a Jīng Tong fighter, had been unpopular with Jon before Ron. Of course, Chennault's xìng grid is not very good, which is also one of the reasons why he is suppressed, but is Li Mei's xìng grid good? And in terms of background, Li Mei's father is not called Li Gang. Why is Li Mei so popular? Of course, there is an element of Li Mei's luck in catching up with the war, but it is undeniable that bomber experts are more popular in the US Army Aviation, which uses bombers as the core of its military construction.

Therefore, now, after the U.S. military recovered Paris, among the great feudal officials, Li Mei quickly changed his rank of brigadier general to major general, and Ron, it is said that he has to wait a little longer. However, Li Mei's admiration for Ron has greatly improved Ron's status in everyone's hearts, and Li Mei publicly said that Ron is not only the best fighter tactician in the entire Army Aviation, but also one of the best bomber experts in the Army Aviation, and even his most proud "box formation" was also researched with Ron. After that, Ron's "early clearance" tactic of fighter planes, which was designed to cooperate with the bombers, was unanimously praised by the officers of the bomber department. So, now when Ron says "have some ideas", General Hansel immediately comes to the god Jīng as well.

"Oh, that's right." Ron said, "As far as I know, Rì himself doesn't have many decent night fighters. Maybe a night attack would be a good idea. ”

Rì did not have enough night fighters, and compared to the German production of night fighters with tens of thousands, Rì himself produced or modified less than 1,000 night fighters in total. And due to technical problems, most of these night fighters were not equipped with airborne radars. Although some aircraft are equipped with airborne radars, they are only equipped with sea search radars. The Rìben night fighter that is actually equipped with an anti-aircraft search radar is rarer than the giant panda and the Siberian tiger.

"Yes, it seems that the number of night fighters in Rì himself is not much, and the planes that we have carried out some night missions have basically never seen the enemy's night fighters. But the degree of jīng of night bombing is also a problem. General Hansel said.

"We can change the target." Ron said, "There are several elements that are necessary for Rì himself to produce weapons and equipment: factories, energy, materials, workers, transportation. If any of these things are missing, there will be production difficulties or even unsustainable situations. ”

Ron paused, and when he saw General Hansel's thoughtful expression, he continued, "For example, we can target the strike at the transport. As far as I know, transportation between the four islands of Rì is very dependent on shipping in the Seto Inland Sea. The Seto Inland Sea, on the other hand, is shallow and is particularly suitable for mine-laying. If we use the B-29 to mine at night, it may not be long before we can get the mines outside Rì's own ports and prevent even a small fishing boat from going to sea in the Seto Inland Sea. This will inevitably bring great chaos to Rì's own industrial production. ”

General Hansel didn't speak, he just stood up, walked over to the big map, and took a serious look.

"Well, Ron, the idea is creative. But more details are needed to form a perfect plan. For example, the hydrological condition of the port or something. These materials must be available in the Navy. "This is a really good solution, because the resources of the country are scarce, and as long as they mine their ports a lot, they can greatly reduce the efficiency of the ports, and naturally solve the problem at the root." I think this is a very feasible solution. What a resourceful wizard! ”

"In addition to that, I have another idea." Ron continued to peddle the black ideas he had brought from the other world, "We didn't bomb the factory well, because the bombing altitude was too high, and the bombing degree was too poor. But on the other hand, Rì's own distinctive industrial layout can also be a nuisance. An expert on rì told me that rì's own industry is fundamentally different from ours, and that there are not many large factories like the ones we bombed today. In fact, their industry is in the form of semi-industrial and semi-handicraft workshops. Often, the factories are only responsible for the final integration, and the various components are mostly done in artisanal workshops scattered throughout the city. If we only attack factories, the blow to them will be limited. We must eliminate these handicraft workshops scattered in the urban settlements, together with the workers who provide labor for the military industry of Rìben, and that is the most efficient way to do so. ”

"You mean, let's be like the British, and target the strikes at residential areas? The British did this in Europe, and the effect still does not seem to be able to catch up with our daytime bombing. General Hansel was a little unimpressed, "I think it might be better to concentrate on the offensive mines." ”

"General, that's because the city of the Germans is not the same as the city of Rì himself." Ron continued, "The German cities were all stone or reinforced concrete buildings, which could only be blown up little by little with high-explosive shells. And the vast majority of houses in Rì's own city are made of wood. It burns easily. We only need to find a midnight and send hundreds, if not thousands, of B-29s, loaded with incendiary bombs, to Tokyo. Then draw a large circle around Tokyo with incendiary bombs to make sure that there is nowhere to escape from the small rìmoto inside, and then you can throw incendiary bombs into the circle. I guess it's definitely more exciting than Dresden. ”

"It's going to take a lot of planes, and we don't have that many right now." General Hansel said.

"Then increase the amount of ammunition each plane carry, and remove everything that can be removed from the plane—unnecessary seats, extravagant indulgences, and machine guns. Free up your weight to hang incendiary bombs! ”

"It's so risky! If you encounter an enemy night fighter with no self-defense firepower, the B-29, which is loaded with incendiary bombs and cannot fly quickly, will become a prey that can be easily hunted. Ron, we don't have to be in such a hurry, we can wait, and when we have more planes, let's carry out this plan. Let's start by refining the plan for the offensive mine. ”

Ron stared at General Hansel, who also stared at Ron, and shook his head firmly: "Ron, this plan of yours is very good and very creative, but, I will say, it is really too dangerous. I'd rather wait a little longer. Young man, don't worry, we have already won the war, and the more the last moment, the more we need to be cautious......"

Ron lowered his eyelids as a sign of backing, after all, he was the commander of the 21st Bomber Wing. Ron originally thought that he could take the title of "Ghost Animal General" away from Li May's head and replace it with General Hansel's head, but now it seems that this plan may not be implemented until Li May takes over. It is not for nothing that Li Mei can become a "ghost animal general" and a "cold war eagle", and it is fate.
