Chapter 1086: We are not afraid to fight for technology
"Without occupying air supremacy, no helicopter can take off again!" The US Department of Defense directly issued a warning that helicopters, which were still immature, would no longer be allowed to attack casually.
In the many sorties made by the Americans before, even if they encountered the logistics troops of Huaxia, they were easily beaten down by multi-purpose combat vehicles and anti-aircraft machine guns, not to mention that most of the surprise attacks were directly intercepted by Huaxia's fighters or attack aircraft.
Huaxia, who had mastered the dynamics of American aerial flying objects, easily taught the young American light cavalry the concept of natural enemies by relying on the extremely fast support of fighter jets.
In just three days, more than 90 helicopters have fallen, almost annihilating the 100 helicopters that had just entered service. Most of them were shot down directly by fighter and attack aircraft.
The speed of the helicopter simply can't escape the hunt of the air lords.
The Americans were also aware of this weakness when they were testing helicopters. But their helicopter attack this time was originally a surprise attack, who would have expected that they would be exposed early? It can only be blamed that the Americans were unlucky enough to choose to fight the Chinese army around the Canadian sub-base, and were locked on to the target early by the airship radar and satellites.
Moreover, they were unlucky enough to choose the helicopters of the two shadow companies, Bell and Sikorsky, and the spy personnel maintained by the company could easily pass on the news of their mission.
Originally, they still relied on their powerful air force to overwhelm the Huaxia fighters coming from afar, and at least they could hold it back, but it was a pity that they once again miscalculated Huaxia's air combat effectiveness.
When the Americans' most advanced Super Sabre appeared on the battlefield, they were greeted not by the J-5 of the Chinese, but by the J-6 and J-7.
This so-called super saber of the Americans is not the F-100 of later generations, but only a partial improvement of the F-86 Sabre technology.
Although the sweep angle has been changed to 45 degrees, the lack of power makes the supersonic speed only stay at the time of dive, and it is not the F-100, the world's first practical level-flight supersonic fighter.
However, the Americans used their air-to-air missiles for the first time on the Super Sabre.
Even without the technology and personnel of the Germans, the Americans still relied on their own background and many talents from Europe, as well as the joint development of allies such as the United Kingdom. In the technology of stimulated radiation microwave amplifier devices that have been successfully developed in advance. Four practical air-to-air missiles were soon developed.
Whether it is the Falcon of the Hughes Company, the Sparrow of the Department of Defense, or the Sidewinder of the Navy, these first-generation missiles are extraordinarily large because they are stuffed with tubes, transformers, and dry batteries before the Americans have developed transistors.
But at the very least, the Americans have made zero breakthroughs in missile combat, and the world's first air battle with missiles is enough to go down in history as the Battle of Edmonton.
However, these generations are clearly not as strong as their descendants used by Huaxia.
As long as the Huaxia fighters speed up, these American primary missiles, which can only deal with subsonic targets, will collide like headless flies behind the sonic boom of the Huaxia fighters. Even under the deliberate lure of the Huaxia fighters, they caused accidental damage to friendly targets.
Due to the difficulties in logistical support, the Huaxia fighters no longer pursued quantity, but tried their best to work quality.
China has just learned the technology of the J-5, and the J-6 and J-7 are only in the research stage, so these fighters are all J-6 and MiG-21 built in the base. It's not even too late to replace the pylons. The MiG-21 is still equipped with the AA-1 air-to-air missiles of the Soviets and Russians, but it is enough to deal with the American Sabre.
Moreover, the lessons of the Americans in the Vietnam War in later generations made Meng Xiang not rely on the very unreliable missiles of this era as the main force in air warfare, and the J-6, which did not hang missiles for a long time, still relied on the fierce cannon to dominate the air.
However, after hundreds of the three air-to-air missiles that the Americans pinned their hopes on, they failed only by three lucky records, which were not as good as the records of another blockbuster missile that was detained with the name of a monster.
Originally, it belonged to the name of the first nuclear air-to-air missile, although there was no breakthrough in nuclear technology, but it used the strongest explosive that was successfully developed in 41 years, Octojin. Loaded inside a huge projectile body. Not by accurate hits, but by face kills.
The massive explosion of this heavy missile in the air. Although it also shook down 3 American fighters, it also shocked 4 Huaxia J-6s.
However, it is clear that this record of 7 is much worse than the 43 Sabres or Super Sabres shot down by the Americans under the AA-1 missile.
Because of the performance of the AA-1 missile, the Americans ignored the data of more than 200 other fighters shot down by the cannons, and instead triggered a fanatical attachment to missiles, a high-tech with a bright future.
The Americans began to collect a large number of wreckage of Huaxia missiles left on the battlefield, trying to improve the level of their own missiles through analysis and research.
In the past, under the rapid advance of the Chinese army, the Americans, who usually fought away from home, rarely could get the wreckage of China's advanced weapons.
Although this time in Canada, it can be regarded as having the advantage of playing at home. Although Meng Xiang cautiously used Soviet and Russian weapons at the beginning, relying on restrictions on specifications and standards to avoid rapid copycats by the Americans, after all, the enlightenment of some things could not be avoided.
After fighting with Huaxia for such a long time, the Americans have learned a lot from Huaxia.
For example, automatic rifles.
By the time the Chinese army beat American GIs with AK-47s or TJ-38 automatic rifles, the Americans no longer boasted that their Garand semi-automatic rifles had a better range than the Suomi submachine guns. The Americans, who were good at learning, quickly followed up, and soon on the basis of the M1, the first automatic rifle of the Americans was produced.
It's just that this 7.62mm automatic rifle, which is similar to the M14 title in later generations, was codenamed another 5.56mm M4 in later generations because of its early appearance.
With the course of World War II out of shape and the acceleration of weapon development, many new weapons have become plausible, and even military code names have become different. Even Meng Xiang couldn't grasp it, at least he needed to get the physical object to determine the similar type of weapon.
This greatly reduced Meng Xiang's historical intelligence advantage, and with the technological combination of Britain and the United States, the Americans' weapon manufacturing even exceeded this era, so that Meng Xiang had no way to judge at all.
Just like the new Overlord heavy tank and the Conqueror super heavy tank that appeared in the Americans, before seeing the real thing, after the Americans strengthened intelligence supervision and made the opportunity to clone spies less and less, when the global intelligence network was not very perfect, Meng Xiang only knew a rough idea.
Originally, he thought that relying on the wolf pack tactics of Grizzly Bear and Rhino Tank could also beat the new tank samples of the Americans, but who knew that he still underestimated the number of new American tanks and underestimated its power, which led to the passivity of the Edmonton ground battlefield at the beginning.
But the Canadian branch base was next to it, and Meng Xiang quickly made adjustments.
"As long as there is a base, we are not afraid to fight for technology!" Whether it is the Americans copying it quickly, or being inspired to jointly launch new weapons, as long as he has the base, Meng Xiang can immediately throw out newer weapons, taking advantage of the time difference or even the generation distance of weapons, and always overpowering the Americans.
At this time, the easiest and quickest way to face the American tanks is to let the Grizzlies and Rhino quickly upgrade.
As soon as the Grizzly and Rhino tanks appeared, they were already 90 mm and 100 mm tank guns at the first level. After many restrictions have been lifted in the old World War II time, they can be quickly upgraded to level 2 as soon as they are improved in a tank factory or repair shop.
The second Grizzly Bear adheres to the tradition of the Allied forces, and even if it is upgraded, it is the mainstream 120mm tank gun in the West.
The second-level rhinoceros also inherited the powerful attack power of the Soviets and Russians, and the 125 mm tank main gun, whether it is a rifled barrel or a replaceable smoothbore barrel, can be compared to the 128 mm gun of the E-100.
The skeleton of the Grizzly Bear and Rhino tanks has also been transformed, from 30 tons to 50 tons, which can completely defeat the Overlord tank and pose a great threat even to the conquerors.
However, Meng Xiang had already identified an opponent for the American Conqueror tanks early.
……
When the Huaxia tank force soon took the initiative to launch a second charge, and the crying Americans, who were crushed by the second-class grizzly bears and rhinos, began to retreat to the area around the steel fortress of the conquerors to breathe, more than a dozen steel monsters with two thick cannon barrels appeared on the Huaxia position. Like a demon king with two spiky horns, he slowly crawled out from behind the thick smoke.
"Boom!" The sight of the four 60-fold 130 mm thick tank guns of the first two first-class mammoth tanks in front of them staggered continuously, directly detonating the huge 130-ton body of a conqueror, completely shocked all the Americans around.
"Oh God! What kind of monster is this? ”
The shadow of the huge bodies of these 100-ton steel behemoths was cast into the hearts of every American present, slowly breeding despair. (To be continued.) )
