The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Colonel Slain could push the task to Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan could no longer push the task down.

Although it is indeed possible in principle, Qin Chuan at this time is at least a battalion commander and has hundreds of people under his command.

But the problem is that Qin Chuan doesn't think anyone can solve this problem.

It seems that the only person Qin Chuan can turn to is Conrad. After all, he is a weapons expert, and he should have some suggestions in this regard.

But the result still disappointed him.

"This is almost impossible, Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad said: "Without the MEE63 operator, this is simply impossible. It is like asking us to learn to swim without going into the water!"

"We all understand the truth, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "But the problem is how to train. When we are discussing this, time has passed day by day, which means we have less and less time to train!"

After thinking about it, Conrad said: "We can conduct other training first, such as the erection of ME63 and the cover of fire cover units..."

"This is indeed a good suggestion!" Qin Chuan said: "But you know, these are not the key points. I can even say... the First Infantry Regiment can do this without training!"

"Then..." Conrad said: "Let them increase production and produce the ME63 we need for training!"

This is not said. If Manstein had a way to increase production, he would certainly do so without hesitation.

In fact, Manstein did exactly that. One of his defense plans for Hitler was to explain the importance of the ME63 equipment to German defense, and he hoped that Germany could open several additional production lines to expand production. .

It's just that the time is too short. When Hitler agrees, then expand production, and finally ship these ME63s, I'm afraid the battle will be almost over.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can I make a suggestion?" Biedermann asked at this time.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "What I need most is your opinion!"

"That's right!" Biederman said: "Similar to this problem, we have actually had it in pilot training. You know, before joining the First Infantry Regiment, I was doing maintenance work at the airport, so I know some relevant situations. ”

"We all know this, Lieutenant!" Conrad said, "Say something useful!"

"Okay, Colonel!" Biederman said: "That's right, when training pilots, they will not choose to let pilots fly fighter jets, because the cost and risk are too high. They will produce a trainer aircraft. Wait for the pilots After learning basic driving knowledge on the trainer aircraft, let them fly fighter jets..."

"I understand what you mean, Biedermann!" Qin Chuan said: "You mean, we should also produce something similar to a training aircraft?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

"But what can we produce like the ME63?" Conrad said: "A thing that can fly? And then be controlled by a operator? Even if we can, we don't have so much time!"

"No, Colonel!" Biedermann said, "Maybe we have this time!"

"What?" Conrad couldn't help but said doubtfully: "No, Second Lieutenant, maybe you don't know that we may only have less than a month to prepare!"

"In fact, we may only need a few days to make a similar simulator!" Biedermann said: "The controller is real, but the controller does not control the ME63, but a controller that controls the buttons on the controller. The bright spots are appropriately shifted due to the strength of the controller, just like the bright spots of the tracer tube on the ME63. Although this is not very accurate, it allows every operator to become familiar with the strength and generous operation of the controller..."

"Good idea, Biedermann!" Qin Chuan almost shouted with excitement: "The difficulty in ME63 production is mainly in the rockets, but the controller is very simple. It is also very simple to let the controller control a bright spot, even for us There is no need to manufacture many such simulation devices, because it can be reused, which means that we can waste the operator's time and let them "torture" these simulation controllers in turn! "

"That's what I think, Lieutenant Colonel!" Biedermann nodded vigorously: "Do you think this idea is feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible, Biederman!" Qin Chuan replied: "Of course it's feasible, you've helped us solve a big problem!"

"It's an honor, Lieutenant Colonel!" Biedermann smiled, as if he was proud that he could help.

Biedermann's idea soon became a reality. As Qin Chuan said, the difficulty in producing the ME63 lies in the launched rockets. Other parts such as the control unit are just some simple circuit equipment. It even You can use the prepared controller and make some necessary modifications, such as connecting the controller to an iron disc and installing a movable light source controlled by the controller on it, and a simple analog controller is completed. .

The training started almost as soon as the simulation controllers were completed. There were 600 operators in the whole group, who were divided into three batches to operate the 200 simulators in turn.

Of course, this training does not distinguish between day and night, because it is very likely that the ME63 will need to be used to destroy something at night, such as tanks, armored vehicles, cars, or bunkers, so of course night operations must also be considered.

But there is a problem when launching the ME63 at night... The ME63 can use the tracer tube at the tail to indicate the position, but the enemy tanks, bunkers, etc. are in the dark, and even the light emitted by the tracer tube makes it impossible for the operator to see at all. Clear the target, so you can't control ME to hit the target.

To be precise, it shouldn't be "impossible", but "difficult".

The reason is that there is a method for shooting at night, which is a shooting method called "impression method" that the German soldiers discovered on their own.

To put it simply, after observing the enemy target with a telescope in the dark, estimate the distance between the target and yourself, and then calculate the time for ME63 to reach the target position... For example, one thousand meters is 15 seconds. If it is closer, subtract it depending on the situation. A few seconds, otherwise add a few seconds.

Then, estimate where the target will reach within this time at the current speed.

Finally, just rely on the impression to control ME to launch towards this location.

This also fully reflects the subjective enthusiasm and imagination of the German soldiers... In fact, the imagination of the Germans during World War II was indeed commendable. For example, helicopters, rocket launchers, missiles, etc. were all pioneered by the Germans, and even the atomic bomb was to a certain extent.

The United States and the Soviet Union simply invaded Germany, captured a large number of scientists and equipment, and then copied these weapons.
