Chapter 2514: Application

And to be reasonable, the power-to-weight ratio of the gasoline engine is better, its weight and volume are relatively small, and it starts quickly. So in the end the Americans decided to try a wolf tank that uses gasoline. So good, what is the result? Anyway, the first-line tanks of the US military still use diesel engines produced in Germany! And five prototype cars were built with his own gasoline engine tank, and three of them caught fire on the test field because of the engine overheating...

As for the reason? Naturally, the liquid-cooled engine of the Americans did not pass, and then the air-cooled engine was used. After all, although the heat dissipation efficiency of liquid-cooled engines is high, the structure is too complicated. From an engineering point of view, it is naturally easier for an air-cooled engine. However, in reality, the engine itself is relatively stable, but it is unstable after being installed on the tank. The willingness is simple, and the heat dissipation is not good!

In terms of heat dissipation principle, liquid-cooled engines are more advanced than air-cooled. After all, the former relies on coolant to bring heat out of the cylinder, while the latter relies entirely on heat sinks and air flow to dissipate heat. At this time, air flow is very important. When it was originally used as an aero engine, because the aircraft was fast and the nose was almost completely open, the heat dissipation pressure was not large, but now the situation is different. The tank engine is in the car body. At the rear, the air flow is much worse than when used as an aircraft engine. In this case, the heat cannot be dissipated, so there must be a problem, and in the future, we will fight in the tropics!

You know, in the case of the original German tank equipped with a liquid-cooled engine, in order to adapt to the tropical climate, the power pack was re-improved and an additional fan was installed. Isn’t it a joke that you have an air-cooled engine that you want to change directly into the tank? Therefore, in addition to the fact that the US Army is still trying to replace the Wolf tank with an American engine, the military has agreed that it is better to purchase the original version!

Naturally, the German military delegation of Major General Karls will first contact Germany for the purchase. After all, even if the inventory is used, it needs to be modified and debugged before it reaches the United States. But this is not the point. After the Army has solved the problem of firepower suppression, the Navy’s issues also need to be resolved. The simplest question is, what if the number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft in the future is insufficient?

"You guys, the losses of naval aviation today must be known to everyone. Honestly speaking, such a war of attrition is somewhat beyond our expectations. The supplementation of carrier-based aircraft is not difficult. After all, at sea, we cannot be like hoisting bulk cargo. We don't have such a high crane to throw the plane directly on the carrier with a crane. And to be honest, such a war of attrition is a great loss for us, and we must reverse this situation." Admiral Benson said.

"The first question is actually very easy to solve. I want to ask, does the United States of America still have new aircraft carriers in service?" Su Xiong asked.

"The ship has been built, but the personnel are not fully equipped." Sims said.

"That’s good, let’s use this aircraft carrier as an aircraft carrier, fill up the aircraft in Hawaii, and then arrive at a place 300 kilometers away from the fleet, then release the aircraft, let the aircraft complete the last trip by itself, and land on our first-line aircraft carrier. . Doesn’t this complete the supplementation of carrier-based aircraft? Anyway, there is no need to perform front-line combat missions, and fewer personnel are not a problem.” Su Xiong said.

"What about the second question?" Benson asked.

"This is very troublesome. It involves aviation tactics, and I am not proficient. However, I think that all aspects of war have some similarities. Facing the current dilemma, I think regardless of the cost. In fact, it is not good to suppress the Japanese ground targets, or to completely abandon the offensive and switch to a conservative state of defense. I think that before the aircraft carrier force joins the fleet decisive battle, the combat thinking of the aviation should be changed." Su Xiong said.

"Change your thinking about combat?" Benson asked.

"Yes, change the operational thinking. After the Army’s long-range artillery suppressed some of the Japanese long-range artillery, our air force should shift its operational direction to suppress and harass the Japanese air force. We don’t want bombs to completely level the Japanese airfield. , Nor does it seek to be able to completely grasp the air supremacy of the battlefield, but to focus on how to efficiently hunt down Japanese aircraft. If everyone is defeated in a war and each loses the same aircraft, then I think that in the long run , For us it is profitable." Su Xiong said.

"Go on, do you have a specific plan?" Benson suddenly became interested.

"First, we analyze the intelligence and see what the Japanese air force wants to do. Judging from the current aerial photos and the confessions of the investigators, the Japanese Air Force has concentrated a certain number of twin bombers on the island of New Ireland. They may not be able to attack the large fleet. They pose a threat, but they may be used for ground support. These bombers will be our important targets for hunting."

"At the same time, according to intelligence, although the Japanese army has established numerous airfields on the front line, it lacks perfect air defense firepower. Our reconnaissance aircraft even passed the target area several times at low altitude and failed to receive effective counterattacks. The anti-aircraft firepower is very poor, there are very few anti-aircraft guns, and the number of anti-aircraft machine guns is not enough. Therefore, our carrier-based aircraft force can completely suppress the airfield. Note that it is suppressed, not destroyed. After all, the Japanese army will build concealment in some important airports. And the reinforced hangar, for carrier-based aircraft, it may be difficult to destroy these things~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We only use elite teams to attack Japanese aircraft that are taking off or landing, or occasionally Attack the aircraft on the tarmac and continue to harass the opponent."

"The combat concept of these teams is very flexible, and even the targets of their attacks are random. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to set a task that must be completed, as long as they can make the Japanese fidget." Su Xiong said. This is actually a kind of offensive defense. It belongs to the kind that you can't help me, and I can't help you, so everyone is sick of each other...

"That is to say, this is a war of attrition in disguise, but we feel that if the Japanese use land-based aviation pilots to consume the sea-based pilots of the United States, we are at a disadvantage." Sims is not optimistic about this approach. To be honest, the Americans are not afraid of fighting the war of attrition, but they want to end the war sooner. They don't want to fight on a certain island for a few months!
