960 Aircraft missiles
"General, discover the enemy!"
"Enemy Spotting!"
……
In the evening of that day, when Zhang Chi was discussing with Wang Mazi how to further increase the production of "aircraft missiles," a word from the staff officer made the entire command headquarters quiet down in an instant.
"Where's the hostile situation?" Zhang Chi asked.
At this time, there were probably three positions of the enemy: the Japanese army in the direction of Nanjing, the Japanese army in the direction of Korea, and the Japanese army in the direction of the Japanese mainland.
"It's the Korean Strait!" The staff officer nervously replied: "The Japanese have begun to cross the strait!" ”
Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi glanced at each other, and secretly said that the time to come was finally here.
"Immediately order the 'Aircraft Missile' unit to be ready for battle!" Zhang Chi ordered without thinking about it.
"Yes!"
In the next second, Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi walked out of the command headquarters, jumped into the car, and headed straight to the north.
The "aircraft missile" still uses liquid fuel, which is highly toxic, so the launch site was chosen to avoid the densely populated area in the suburbs north of Naha.
When Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi arrived at the launch site, dozens of "aircraft missiles" were ready for launch...... Zhang Chi looked at his watch, it was only eighteen minutes before he gave the order, which was a great improvement compared to the previous preparation time of more than half an hour.
Moreover, these "aircraft missiles" are all mounted directly on the back of the truck, and at a glance they really look like modern missiles. At this time, there were a total of 30 "airplane missiles" so far away in the sky, and there was really an indescribable power.
When Feng Braun saw Zhang Chi and the two coming, he greeted Zhang Chi and said, "General, I'm waiting for your order!" ”
Zhang Chi nodded, in order to hurry up, he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Launch!" ”
"Yes, enter the launch program!"
Then there was a countdown of seconds, and then there were bursts of "rumbling" flames, a wave of dust and heat rolling towards Zhang Chi and the others, and then 30 "airplane missiles" took off into the air and flew towards the Korean Strait to the north.
The flaming tail flame of the "airplane missile" was particularly noticeable in the darkness, like a round of sun, and even the forest below was illuminated by it. However, as the distance became farther and farther away, the sun became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming a small bright spot, and finally disappeared quickly.
At this time, von Braun handed over a few photos and said: "General, this is the picture that our 'reconnaissance plane missile' has detected, most of the enemy ships are fishing boats, although I can't see them very clearly, but I think most of them are wooden structures!" ”
Zhang Chi took the photo and looked at it, and quickly agreed with Braun's statement, the picture is very blurry, because it is the image of the "reconnaissance plane missile" taken with a camera and then transmitted to the base...... This image is quite clear, because the military high-definition cameras used on the "reconnaissance plane missiles" can only be equipped with ordinary cameras because there are too many ordinary "aircraft missiles."
"Little Japan didn't send warships?" Wang Mazi, who was beside him, couldn't help but interject unexpectedly.
Wang Mazi has been in charge of the blockade of the Japanese mainland in Okinawa, so he is well aware of the remnants of the Japanese army...... Although the main forces of the Japanese navy and air force were all crushed in the previous Pacific War, several battleships and destroyers still survived, such as the "Haruna" and "Amagi".
"Of course there will be no warships!" Zhang Chi said: "They don't think there is a need to dispatch warships!" ”
Braun nodded, and then explained to Wang Mazi: "On the one hand, the Japanese don't have enough oil. On the other hand, there is the fear that the warship will be detected by our radar and the target will be exposed. More importantly, the Japanese thought that at night, we had nothing to enter the Korean Strait and threaten their crossing, so they would not need to be escorted by warships! ”
Wang Mazi couldn't help but let out an "oh" when he heard this, and Zhang Chi's understanding of Braun couldn't help but go to a higher level...... Secretly said that this guy is not just a nerd who can only study rockets, but fortunately he got him one step ahead of the United States.
Everyone's eyes quickly shifted to the screens in the control room, and the busiest people should be those who operate the "airplane missiles".
As mentioned earlier, most of the operators at this time are no longer pilots, but specialize in training targeted operators.
Training these operators is not as difficult as expected, because compared to pilots who actually fly the plane on a fighter plane, the operators do not have the pressure to crash the plane if they are not careful, and what they have to do is more like playing a game, that is, fiddling with some buttons and joysticks to remotely control the "plane missile".
Of course, there is actually nothing to see during this time period, because the "airplane missile" flies at night, and there is nothing to see on the screen except for a few tail flames of other "airplane missiles...... This is one of the benefits of the intensive launch of "aircraft missiles", which can observe whether they are out of the team based on the tail flame, thus reducing the probability of flying in the wrong direction or coordinates.
As time passed, Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi had nothing to do, but Braun and other scientists were busy calculating the location of the "airplane missile" against the map.
It can be seen that they are all nervous, after all, this is the first large-scale combat application of the "aircraft missile".
To be precise, it was the large-scale combat application of the new "aircraft missile" developed by the expeditionary force, because before that, Germany had already launched as many as 3,745 "aircraft missiles" at Britain.
The only difference is that whether the Germans' "aircraft missiles" can hit the target or not depends entirely on luck, and it is basically impossible to hit the ship, but the "aircraft missile" of the expeditionary force is another matter.
"Enter the prep area!" At this time, Braun, who was facing the map, raised his head and shouted: "Get ready to guide, the target is five kilometers ahead!" ”
The scream instantly made everyone nervous, especially the operator, with his eyes glued to the screen and his joystick in his hand, as if he were facing a great enemy.
"No. 1 hits the flare!" Braun ordered.
No. 1 is a "reconnaissance aircraft missile," so it flies first with the No. 11 and No. 21 missiles, which are also "reconnaissance aircraft missiles."
The reason why we wanted three "reconnaissance plane missiles" was because we were worried that if one of the "reconnaissance plane missiles" had an accident, the entire batch of "plane missiles" would be blind.
There was no sound, and no sound could be heard because only video was transmitted, and it was not until the screen lit up that Zhang Chi and others realized that the flare had been fired.
All you see is a stretch of sea, empty and quiet, nothing in it.
Braun was a little nervous, because that meant he might not be able to find his target.
