Chapter 1457： Arnolds suggestion (2/2)
”I have an idea.” At this moment, General Arnold, who rushed to attend the meeting in a hurry, said: ”Send our 58th Bomber Wing to depart from the base and wait until dawn to fly to the Tudao waters. , And then carried out a bombing of the aircraft carrier formation of the island nation.”
Arnold, now a member of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, is involved in studying the strategic issues of the war, especially the combat use of the US and British aviation. In later generations, he was the founder of the US Air Force. It is believed that the air force will be the decisive factor in future wars; air superiority is a prerequisite for victory in any land or naval battle. Emphasizing the role of strategic bombing, advocating that the U.S. Air Force should focus on the strategic air force; attaching importance to technological superiority, and proposing that ”excellent research work is the first element of the Air Force.”
In the current era, Arnold has driven the most powerful bomber, the finalized production of the B-29, which was able to appear several years earlier in history, and Arnold contributed a lot.
Hawaii's military strength is empty, and the range of local fighters is limited. Now the only one that can quickly reach the battlefield and return home is the B-29 bomber. The 58th Bomber Wing is the first unit equipped with the B-29.
”No, in the absence of **** fighters, it is dangerous to use only bombers.” Someone immediately refuted his suggestion: ”Moreover, bombers are mainly used to bomb the land, and torpedoes and dives are best for warships. bomber.”
Use strategic bombers to perform bombing missions on ships? This is just a joke!
Arnold is very solemn: ”The island country imported mainly Stuka dive bombers from Germany. The main German fighters did not enter the island country’s aircraft carrier formation. The island country’s air-control fighters were mainly Type Zero. This fighter cannot fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The flying ~~ its effective combat altitude does not exceed five kilometers, and the anti-aircraft artillery of the island fleet is less than 10,000 meters, so we are very safe at an altitude of 10,000 meters.”
In the new agreement between Cyric and the island country, the BF109 was exported to the island country. Now the island country’s main fighter jet is Type Zero. Due to the island country’s technical and material restrictions, they do not have a suitable turbocharger, and the ceiling is only five kilometers. That's it.
”Above 10,000 meters, bombing the ship?” Someone was still retorting him: ”Are you sure it will kill?”
”If ordinary bombs, even if we use Norton sights, we can't achieve accurate bombing, so we have to use the latest bombs.” Arnold said: ”You may not know, we have successfully developed radio-guided bombs. ”
When it comes to guided bombs, it is generally believed that Germany's unrestricted guided bombs are the originator. The Fritz-X series guided bombs were used extensively in the latter part of World War II and achieved many successes.
However, it is absolutely wrong to think that other countries do not have guided bombs. Now the United States has gathered a large number of scientists who fled from Europe. Their arrival has greatly promoted the development of American science and technology. .
The development of guided bombs in the United States is also very fast. In 42 years of history, the U.S. Army Aviation Equipment Command began to develop the VB (Ason) series of guided bombs, using radio command guidance, and succeeded in 43 years. Enter the army.
Moreover, relying on their leading position in technology, the Americans can't see this kind of backward radio guidance. They are already developing new methods of radar guidance, and there are multiple projects going on together.
