Nine hundred and fifty-eighth production

"So!" Zhang Chi continued, "How should we hit the target? I mean, we can't even see the enemy at night!"

"This is the focus of our debate!" Braun said: "With the same view, the problem can be solved with flares. The difference is that Mr. Basil believes that flares and launch devices should be installed on each 'aircraft missile', but I think that a special 'aircraft missile' should be designed for night reconnaissance. Simply put, its warhead does not contain explosives, but can be equipped with more fuel to cruise for longer periods, and can also be installed with more flares for reconnaissance!"

It should be said that both options are beneficial. The former can sweep the task separately, but the risk of failure of the task is higher because it cannot carry many flares. Once the flares are used up, it is actually a blind man and basically has no chance of hitting the target.

The latter must cooperate with each other, but the chance of success of the mission is higher, because "reconnaissance aircraft missiles" can have more opportunities to guide the target.

Zhang Chi said without thinking: "I think we should choose the latter!"

Of course, Zhang Chi knows how to choose, because that is actually the most popular "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft" in modern times. However, this modern drone has developed to "integrated reconnaissance and attack", which means that it can perform reconnaissance missions, and if important targets are discovered, they can also attack them.

Of course, Zhang Chi would not expect the "reconnaissance aircraft and missiles" of this era to be able to integrate detection and attack.

"How long does it take to complete?" Zhang Chi said: "I mean this kind of 'reconnaissance aircraft missile'!"

"It won't take a long time!" Braun replied: "In fact, all we need to do is remove the explosives and replace them with the flare launcher and it will be done. If it goes well, it will only take a few days to modify and test it!"

"Very good!" Zhang Chi said: "Then, let's start now!"

"Yes, General!"

Looking at Braun who was busy with his assistant, Zhang Chi thought to himself that he had not done anything in vain. Braun was indeed a genius, and he deserved to be the first guy in the legend to get humans on the moon. He solved the problem of night combat capability of "aircraft missiles" not long after he arrived.

Of course, whether this thing can have the expected effect depends on the actual combat.

So the combat plan was decided, using fighter jets during the day and "aircraft missiles" to block the Korean Strait at night.

Of course, the main thing is to rely on "aircraft missiles", because the Japanese are not fools. They know that the sky during the day belongs to the Allied forces, and that crossing the Korean Strait was not much different from seeking death at that time.

The problem with the Expeditionary Force is that there are not many "aircraft missiles": 300 stocks, 30 production per day, and only more than 600 are prepared for ten days and half a month. Even if the hit rate can be one tenth... it can only hit more than 60 Japanese ships. (Note: One tenth at night is a very high hit rate)

The Japanese definitely have more than 60 ships used by the Japanese across the Korean Strait, not to mention that some of them are large and have good sink resistance, such as warships or large merchant ships. These ships are not one, and two "aircraft missiles" can destroy them.

Therefore, during this period, Zhang Chi urged the factory to produce day and night, and even used the three shifts to work. The machines were running day and night, and the three-tied workers took turns to go up and tossing.

This time, the output doubled, and in a few days it had more than a thousand "aircraft missiles".

At the same time, Zhang Chi also ordered two more production factories to be opened... Although this "far water cannot quench near thirst", it takes at least a few months for the factory to be able to produce, but who knows whether it will be needed at that time? The battlefield has always been favored by people who are prepared, and these newly built factories are a kind of preparation.

"General!" Just as Zhang Chi was busy, the correspondent took a telegram and said, "Telecom from Britain!"

When Zhang Chi looked at the code name, it was sent by Eisenhower. The general idea was to let Zhang Chi handle Okinawa's affairs as soon as possible and return to France. The French battlefield needed Zhang Chi's command.

Zhang Chi can only apologize for this. Now things in the Northeast are urgent. Zhang Chi cannot ignore the safety of the Northeast for the sake of the French battlefield.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought Eisenhower was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that Stilwell called again soon.

"Zhang!" said Stilwell, "I heard you are back?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "I went to find you, but they said you were recuperating on the medical ship!"

This is the luxury side of the United States. They have medical ships like luxury cruise ships, with various leisure facilities such as swimming pools, bars, and open to places with good scenery and mild climates.

"Yes, you know, the old problem I had when fighting in the past! If I knew you were back, I would go back!"

"No, no!" Zhang Chi said: "You should have a lot of rest, I will handle the matter here!"

"Hmm!" said Stilwell. "Of course I know, that's what I want to say to you. Don't worry too much, you should focus more on France."

Hearing this, Zhang Chi knew that Eisenhower had contacted Stilwell.

"Why?" Zhang Chi asked: "Don't you think I should solve my own problem first?"

"Don't worry!" said Stilwell: "That's not a problem, it will be solved!"

"Maybe you don't understand the current situation..."

"No, I understand!" said Stilwell: "You will know in the future, you should go back to France!"

As he said that, Stilwell hung up the phone.

This made Zhang Chi a little confused.

However, Zhang Chi didn't think much about it, and he would do it. In short, the urgent need to delay Japan was to not let the land of China, one was missing.

The research and development of the "reconnaissance aircraft missile" went very smoothly. On the night of the third day, the first "reconnaissance missile" was launched into the Korean Strait and reconnaissance was carried out.

It even found Japanese troops who were laying out mines.

Of course, the Japanese army didn't know what was flying in the air... They took it for granted that it was an aircraft, but the tail flames ejected from the tail of the "aircraft missile" were not as fast as those of the aircraft.

Just this caused a lot of panic among the Japanese army because they thought that the Allies had some new equipment to deal with them... This may also be related to the pressure that the Japanese army was under long-term bombing and hunger on the verge of life and death.
