Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"That's right, we have a lot of recruits who have never participated in actual combat!"

"That's a good thing to be brave. Real knowledge comes from actual combat. Usually training for a month is really not as profound as participating in an actual combat!"

Yang Fan's proposal once again received a lot of applause. These pilots, who rarely have the opportunity to actually fight, wished to have the chance to compete head-on with the devils.

……

Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport.

Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Air Force Tamon Yamaguchi was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, standing beside the runway with his hands behind his back, looking up at the eastern sky in a daze.

Behind Yamaguchi Tamon, there are three senior Japanese generals in the uniform of the lieutenant general, who are also looking at the sky nervously.

The three Japanese lieutenant generals are Uichiro Harada, head of the newly established Japan 2st Flying Division, Saburo Ando, ​​head of the 3nd Flying Division, and Toshiki Kinoshita, head of the [-]rd Flying Division.

There are more than a dozen Japanese military officers standing behind them. Among these officers, there are major generals, majors, middle officers, and majors, all of whom are key officers of the Japanese Air Force.

The newly established Japanese Air Force has completed the formation of 3 integrated flight divisions, with a total of more than 2100 fighters of various types, and its overall strength is more than a star and a half stronger than the previous Army Aviation.

After waiting for a long time but not seeing the flying unit return, Toshi Kinoshita couldn't help asking: "Yamaguchi-kun, there will be no accidents, right?

Although the number of fighters of the Huaxia Flying Tigers is less than that of the Imperial Air Force, the performance of its fighters and the quality of its soldiers cannot be underestimated. In the air battle two months ago, the Imperial Air Force suffered a big loss! "

Yamaguchi Duowen frowned slightly and said: "The ancient Chinese saying is good, one suffers one's losses and one gains one's wisdom. The Imperial Air Force needs such a powerful opponent to sharpen, even if it is damaged, it is worth it!"

Kinoshita Min was very worried and continued: "Although that is the case, our enemy is extraordinary, and it is no longer as simple as Chongqing.

The Huben Army has a complete radar system, and if the Imperial Air Force is not careful, it will fall into the ambush circle. If so, the consequences may be unbearable! "

A few days ago, when he was the commander of the third flight group, Kinoshita Toshi was really scared by the Flying Tigers. If he hadn’t moved the few remaining bombers and fighters to Tianjin in advance, he would have been a bare-bones commander by now. .

This time the newly formed Japanese Air Force, Toshi Kinoshita had no chance to become the commander of the Third Flying Division, but Toshi Kinoshita and Yamaguchi Tamon had a good personal relationship, and they jointly carried out a large-scale strategic bombing of Chongqing a few days ago.

With its special status as the wartime capital and companion capital, Chongqing became the center of politics, military, diplomacy, economy, and culture in the rear area of ​​China during the War of Resistance, and became an international metropolis on par with Washington, Moscow, and London.

In order to destroy the rear base of China's Anti-Japanese War, shake the will of the people in the rear to resist Japan, and force the Chongqing Nationalist Government to surrender, the Japanese army made Chongqing the primary target of "political bombing" and "strategic bombing".

从1938年2月18日至1943年8月23日，日军集中了侵华陆军和海军的主要航空兵力，先后出动军用飞机9000架次，对重庆施行了长达5年半之久的战略轰炸，史称重庆大轰炸。

The Japanese bombing of Chongqing, spared no expense, killed 3991 people, injured 2323, damaged 4889 buildings, and left about 20 people homeless.

The length of the bombing time, the number of times, and the heavy casualties and property losses caused shock the world, causing an extremely serious disaster to the people of Chongqing.

Some time ago, Chen Bulei took the initiative to come to Yang Fan for help. It was also because Chongqing had suffered unprecedented "round-robin bombing", "moonlight bombing", and "fatigue bombing", which made Chairman Jiang's anger explode and he was eager to get back on the spot!

"Kinoshita-kun, I can understand your feelings, but please don't say such things in the future! As a senior general of the Imperial Air Force, you shouldn't say such frustrating words!"

? ? ?Tamon Yamaguchi resisted not having an attack, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The sharp edge of the sword is honed from the sword, and the Imperial Air Force needs such a powerful enemy to hone.

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. As long as the empire forms an elite air force with 10 divisions, wouldn't the Little China Flying Tigers be able to catch it? "

"Hai! What Yamaguchi-kun said is absolutely true!"

Toshiki Kinoshita nodded.

Yamaguchi Tamon turned his head to look at Harada Uichiro, Ando Saburo and Kinoshita Toshi, and said in a heavy tone:

"The future enemies of the Imperial Air Force may be even stronger, we must have a strong sense of crisis and must not be timid!

His Majesty the Emperor has given us the greatest support and deepest expectations for our air force under tremendous pressure, so we must work together, do our best to enhance the combat effectiveness of the air force, and create immortal feats for the great cause of the Japanese Empire, so that we can live up to it His Majesty the Emperor's trust! "

"Hay!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

When the big hat was buckled down, Harada Uichiro and others could only shout long live, without daring to make any unnecessary movements.

"Oh, back!"

"The sky warriors of the Empire are back!"

At this moment, the Japanese military officer standing behind Yamaguchi Tamon and others suddenly jumped up and down and cheered, and then the ground crew and mechanics in the airport also waved their hats to the sky.

Yamaguchi Duowen immediately turned his head to look, and sure enough, a group of black spots appeared on the clouds in the distant sky.

Toshi Kinoshita, Uichiro Harada, and Saburo Ando, ​​the three old devils, also quickly turned their heads to look at the fighter jets in the air, and began to count silently in their hearts.

Chapter 696

“？1、2、3、4、5、6、7……”

Toshi Kinoshita stared nervously at the airstrip in front of him, silently counted to 98 planes, and then there were none, and then said brokenly:

"A total of 104 fighter jets went out, and 98 came back. That means 6 fighter jets were lost today?"

"Six, not bad!"

Yamaguchi heard a lot, but he didn't feel any pain, because the opponent was the extremely powerful Huaxia Flying Tigers. The Xitian brigade could escape from their ambush circle, and then fight a beautiful counterattack with the reinforcements, which is already very good.

In addition, with the full support of Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese Air Force is rapidly expanding its military strength, and the ultimate goal will be fixed at nearly [-] combat aircraft. Naturally, Yamaguchi Tamon stands tall and sees far away, and his focus is not on one soldier at a time. Gains and losses, but the future of the entire Japanese Air Force.

"..."

Toshi Kinoshita's forehead is full of black lines, and he really can't understand Yamaguchi's calmness. If he keeps training in such a dangerous way, even if he is not plotted by the Flying Tigers, he will continue to bleed and lose his vitality!

"Kinoshita-kun, please rest assured, I only have a sense of proportion, and I will never take the lives of the warriors of the empire as a joke!"

Facing Toshi Kinoshita's silence and sorrow, Yamaguchi Tanomon remained extremely calm, because he was very clear about Emperor Hirohito's next strategic goal, which was to go to war with the United States and sweep Southeast Asia to obtain massive strategic supplies!

At the same time, Hirohito did not have enough time for the Air Force. To train a large number of excellent pilots with flying and combat experience in a short period of time to prepare for the upcoming Pacific War, it would have to be baptized with blood.

At this moment, Toru Nishida was the first to drive the fighter plane to park on the runway, and immediately pushed open the porthole and stepped on the wing to jump off.

Yamaguchi Tawen strode forward, greeted with a smile, "Nishida-kun, you are back!"

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Nishida Toru immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Nishida Toru, you've worked hard! It's good to see you back!"

Yamaguchi Tawen returned the military salute, stretched out his hand and shook Nishida Toru tightly, with a very sincere smile on his face.

Toru Nishida is a senior ace pilot of the navy, and Yamaguchi Tamon had a good personal relationship with him when he was the commander of the 1st United Air Force.

This time when he was ordered to form an air force, the first thing Yamaguchi Tamon thought of was this experienced, skilled and fierce general.

"Thank you, Commander, for your concern, I am inexplicably grateful for my humble position!"

Nishida nodded gratefully, and then said: "However, as an imperial soldier, I am ready to die for the Great Japanese Empire at any time. If I can't come back someday, please don't be sad, Commander. Because that is our honor!"

"Yoshi! Nishida-kun, the true warrior of the empire!"

Yamaguchi Tamon gave a thumbs-up with a smile, and then changed the subject:

"However, our highest honor is not to sacrifice our lives for the country, but to destroy all enemies for the empire, to make great contributions to the Great Japanese Empire, and to usher in a new era of glory for the Yamato nation.

So, I hope you can always lead the Imperial Air Warriors from one victory to another, bring death and fear to the enemy, and keep the victory and glory to yourself! "

"Hayi! Thank you, Commander, for your advice. I will follow your orders and lead my subordinates to fight the enemy bravely. I will never die before the empire conquers the world. I can assure you of this!"

Nishida Toru showed his expression of emotion again, and saluted Yamaguchi Duano.

"Suoga! Then it's settled!"

Yamaguchi Tamon nodded in satisfaction, patted Toru Nishida on the shoulder kindly and asked:

"How is the fight today? We lost six fighters. How many fighters did the Huaxia Flying Tigers lose? Please tell me carefully."

Nishida Toru blushed slightly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this time we were ambushed by a new type of fighter jet from the Flying Tigers, and the opponent was quite tactical, so we rushed to the battle and were extremely passive.

After a bloody battle, we damaged several Huaxia fighter jets, but did not shoot down any of them! "

"Nani?"

Hearing this, Uichiro Harada frowned immediately, glared at Nishida Toru in displeasure and asked, "Baga Yalu, what are you doing? You lost 6 planes and didn't even shoot down one?"

"Hayi! I am incompetent in a humble position, please punish him, Your Excellency the General!"

Toru Nishida quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. He had to say that the 6:0 record was very shameful, and he had absolutely no reason to refute Uichiro Harada's scolding.

"Harada-kun, please calm down, the enemy we are facing is extremely powerful, and we must not reason it out!"

Yamaguchi Tamon explained something for Toru Nishida, and then turned around and asked, "You said just now that the Flying Tigers have a new type of fighter jet? What's going on?"

Toru Nishida explained in a low voice: "This double-engine and double-tail support is much larger than its main fighter, but it is very fast, has more firepower, and has a high coverage of bulletproof armor, making it difficult to shoot down.

If I guessed correctly, this fighter should be the P-38 heavy fighter that the United States just successfully flew for the first time last year. "

"Nani? P-38 heavy fighter jet? Even the U.S. Air Force doesn't have a large number of new fighter jets, but the Huaxia Flying Tigers have them?"

Yamaguchi Tamon was stunned when he heard about it. The Shandong Peninsula was completely surrounded. How could they still have these advanced fighter jets from the United States?

Toshi Kinoshita, who had contacts and sources of information before, added in his mind:

"Yamaguchi-san, there have always been rumors that there are a large number of advanced military factories in the Huben military defense area. Maybe they have spent huge sums of money to import aircraft production lines from the United States!"

Yamaguchi Dawen opened his eyes wide and said, "Baga, how is this possible! The Americans will transfer such an advanced aircraft production line to the Chinese?"

Toshi Kinoshita continued: "It is logically impossible, but according to intelligence, Yang Fan has established a huge business empire in the United States and built an extremely deep network of contacts.

Therefore, if they use special means to introduce advanced production lines, it is not impossible! "

"idiot!"

Yamaguchi tawen frowned, if they could really mass-produce such advanced fighter jets, it would be too scary.

If such an enemy is allowed to develop, it will definitely become a serious problem for the Japanese Empire in the future!

"It doesn't matter, the Imperial Air Force has just been established, and most of the pilots are novices, so it's completely understandable that the air combat is not effective.

But I firmly believe that with the passage of time and the increase of air combat experience, it will definitely improve quickly. "

However, Yamaguchi Tamon must not show the slightest stage fright at this time, and immediately put on a confident look and said:

"What's more, the Empire of Japan has a complete and advanced modern industrial system. It is currently stepping up the production of the most advanced Zero fighter, and will develop more powerful advanced fighters in the future!"

Chapter 697 Air Combat Tactics

Nishida Toru quickly paused and said: "Hay! The Japanese Empire will be invincible!"

Then, Toru Nishida said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, although we failed to shoot down the new Huaxia fighter this time, we did not get nothing.

Through actual combat, I found that although the P-38 fighter has advantages such as fast speed, strong firepower and thick armor, they seem to be afraid to fight us in close quarters, presumably because the fighter's maneuverability is not very good. "

Yamaguchi raised his eyebrows and said: "You can't have both, this is probably the Achilles heel of the P-38 fighter jet, very good!"

A thought suddenly flashed in Yamaguchi Tamon's mind: Since this is the latest fighter jet from the United States, after the Japanese Empire goes to war with the United States, there will be a lot of encounters in the Pacific battlefield. Instead of paying a big price in the future, it is better to take the Chinese Flying Tiger In military training, even if there is some damage, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Thinking of this, Yamaguchi Tamon immediately said: "The East is lost, and the mulberry is harvested! Nishida-kun, you must sum up your combat experience and find out the air tactics against it earlier!"

Toru Nishida paused and said: "Hay! Please rest assured, Commander. If there is another chance, I will definitely try it out and explore the comprehensive performance of this fighter so as to improve the ability of the Imperial Air Force to fight against it."

"Wow! There will definitely be opportunities, and there will be many. I authorize you to choose the opportunity to fight on your own. There is only one purpose, and that is to find out the solution as soon as possible, and train the recruits of the Imperial Air Force to become excellent pilots as soon as possible!"

Yamaguchi Tamon nodded, and then ordered earnestly:

"Nishida-kun, you must tell the Imperial Air Warriors that the most valuable thing in the Imperial Air Force is not fighter jets, nor the glory of blood spilling in the sky, but experienced and skilled pilots.

So in future battles, you must keep this in mind. If you can escape by parachuting, never blindly die for the empire. "

"Hayi! Thank you, Commander, for your understanding!"

Toru Nishida nodded heavily, feeling completely moved in his heart.

At this time, Nishida Toru had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said with some excitement: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think I have cracked the tactics of the Huaxia Air Force."

"Nani?"

Yamaguchi said in surprise, "Nishida-kun, you have a special plan for the Chinese Air Force? Tell me quickly!"

Xi Tian Che suddenly said: "Ha Yi, it's just that the thinking is not mature enough!"

"Nani? Air combat tactics? I heard right!"

Uichiro Harada, who was standing aside, sneered and said, "The degree of freedom in air combat is so high, and the flying speed is so fast, how can there be any tactics?"

Kinoshita Toshi also shook his head at this time and asked: "That's right, isn't air combat just a competition of fighter performance and pilot's flying skills?"

In 1909, the U.S. Army equipped the world's first military aircraft. During the First World War, the aircraft began to be used in warfare, but the main purpose was for reconnaissance and communication.

The air force was formally formed even later. So far, not to mention Japan, neither the German, British, nor American military have formed systematic air combat tactics.
