Chapter 451 Tanaka Hisahisa 1: Can his independent regiment really defeat me?
Zhang Ying heard himself asking this question and smiled: "Teacher, I have thought about the question you asked. So I added a mercury insurance under it.
Only when the mercury is thrown off at high speed will the fuse of the detonating capacitor be opened. "
Zhang Ying introduced his design with some complacency.
As he said this, he was about to open his mercury insurance to show Yu Ye.
Yu Ye held down the land that was already somewhat fascinated by the explanation, and scolded with a smile: "You kid want us to inhale a few breaths of mercury vapor together, right?"
Zhang Ying finally came to his senses and smiled embarrassedly towards his teacher, Li Yunlong and Yang Xing.
After a short while, Li Yunlong and Yang Xing were already covered in cold sweats. They were indeed worthy of being Yu Ye's apprentices. They were crazy about researching military equipment.
"Okay, there is one last question. If you can answer it, then you will be qualified. From now on, I will let you lead a team to research all our new fuses!"
Yu Ye grabbed the proximity fuse that Zhang Ying used for demonstration and put it in the hands of his apprentice. He was somewhat uneasy. What if this guy leaked mercury vapor when he got excited in talking?
"Okay, teacher."
Zhang Ying looked at his teacher, his eyes full of eagerness to try, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to the teacher's test.
"Let me ask you, the power that your battery can release will be consumed very quickly. If you miss the enemy plane in the air, then the shell will not be detonated.
Now this thing is absolutely high-tech, and I think only we and Americans have it in the whole world.
What if the Japanese discovered the secret and picked up a dud that didn't explode and tried to copy it? "
"Ok?"
When Zhang Ying heard this question, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer it.
He really didn't think about how to deal with this problem, and he didn't even think about how to deal with this dud.
In another timeline, the Americans first used this proximity fuse during the Pacific War. Even if it did not explode, it would fall directly into the sea and would not be discovered by the Japanese.
Later, when proximity fuses were used in land warfare, someone would record how many shells were fired and how many were detonated, and someone would arrange for the recovery of all unexploded duds.
There was even a situation where thousands of people were searching for a dud bomb.
Zhang Ying pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Teacher, I can't figure it out."
Yu Ye took out a blueprint from his pocket and threw it directly to Zhang Ying: "There is a centrifugal fuse I designed on it for your reference."
Boy, your skills are still better than yours.
Zhang Ying unfolded the design drawing drawn by Yu Ye, and Yu Ye added a swing block under the mercury safety. When the speed is high, it will open, and when the speed is low, it will automatically reset under the pull of the spring to detonate the shell.
It is extremely exquisite.
"Teacher, your design is indeed very clever. It is simple and well-structured. I admire it very much. But I have an idea. If I add a collision fuze to the proximity fuze, will it work?"
Zhang Ying suddenly had an inspiration.
Yu Ye: “…”
The saying that a young man can kill an old master with random punches is nothing more than this.
Yu Ye had never expected that his student could come up with such a crooked trick: "You kid, you've finished your apprenticeship!"
Then, a hearty laugh broke out.
Military products require a simple structure, are easy to use and durable.
......
After the Erdaohezi blocking battle, Tanaka Hisaichi was greatly demoralized. He had never experienced such a devastating defeat in all his years of fighting in China.
And within just over ten minutes, one of their regiments was crippled.
He was really unwilling to accept this. He had never thought that one day he would be defeated so badly by the Chinese army.
After retreating to the nearest military camp, Tanaka Hisaichi sat in the wartime command tent that had just been set up, looking at the blank combat report paper in front of him, without putting pen to paper for a long time.
It really didn't know how to write this battle report.
Finally, Tanaka Kyuichi called out to his lieutenant, "Are you ready for the reconnaissance plane I asked you to prepare? I want to go and see for myself what's going on in Ping'an County."
"General, the reconnaissance plane you asked me to prepare is ready. It is parked at the temporary military airport in the barracks. If you need it, it can take off at any time.
only......"
"Just what? We, the Locust Army, should stop hesitating. If you have any questions, just speak up."
Tanaka Kyuichi was in a very bad mood at the moment, and he showed signs of getting angry if something went wrong.
"General, isn't it too risky for you to go to Ping'an County for reconnaissance yourself? The Independent Regiment has its own air defense force. In the previous Huangliangou air battle, they directly shot down forty or fifty of our fighter planes.
You go there in person, just in case..."
The lieutenant officer carefully chose his words, not knowing what to say so as not to hurt Tanaka Hisaichi's face while dissuading him from going to Ping'an County to conduct reconnaissance in person.
"No, I must go. After this battle, we should realize that the Independent Regiment and even the Liaoyuan Arsenal have become our biggest concern!
If we fail to gain a thorough understanding of Ping'an County, where the Liaoyuan Arsenal is located, we will be the sinners of the Locust Army.
Besides, I, Tanaka Kyuichi, am not a coward.
I want to take a good look to see if this Ping'an County is a den of dragons and tigers."
Tanaka Hisaichi's eyes were unusually firm.
"But, General..."
"No buts. I have also studied the Huangliangou air battle in detail. It was because the Eighth Route Army had the advantage of geographical location. Now Ping'an County is a vast wilderness. How can they have any advantage over the locust army's air force?
I just heard you say that the ace pilot of our Locust Army is in charge of flying the reconnaissance plane today. I don't believe that these guys can shoot me down. "
Tanaka Hisaichi directly interrupted the lieutenant's words, and it was obvious that he had decided to leave.
