Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Although the Führer made a mistake in making this purely jet fighter a blitz bomber, the real failure lay with the Luftwaffe at the time.

Those officials didn't really appreciate the potential of the jet engine because many senior officials, including Luftwaffe chief Hermann Göring, believed that wars could be easily won with conventional aircraft.

He cut the number of engineers in the engine development program to 1940 in February 2, failing to assign the priorities necessary for the engine to go into production, causing repeated delays in the Me 35's test flights and production, which did not reach mass production until the spring of 262.

Fortunately for the Allies, Germany no longer possessed much of the capability to produce fuel and ammunition, nor the means to train pilots.

假设Me 262在1943年大量投入使用，盟军可能不会赢得1944年6月6日入侵德国从而占据欧洲战场的空中优势。那么最终的结果可能是原子弹落在柏林，而不是广岛。

But even so, German pilots piloted this type of fighter jet during World War II and still achieved an impressive record of shooting down 509 enemy planes and self-destructing 100 planes.

"30 billion wealth points, and the production and construction period is 5 months?"

After taking a last look at the price and cycle, it is obviously another big project that consumes money and time. If the production time and training time are added, this jet fighter will not be able to serve on a large scale until the end of 1944, and it will be put into actual combat.

But it doesn't matter, it's never too late for a good meal. Anyway, jet fighters will eventually be an inevitable process of historical development, so this matter can only be done sooner rather than later.

In fact, a year ago, Yang Fan had already assigned jet fighter research and development tasks to his aircraft research institute, and provided a lot of relevant technical information, but it is a pity that the foundation is still too weak, so far the research institute has not been able to Come up with a prototype.

But it doesn't matter, the hard work these days has not been in vain, and I have accumulated considerable experience in many aspects.

Now that there is a systematic production line, it must be possible to get twice the result with half the effort, and perhaps it may be possible to make improvements and breakthroughs.

Therefore, Yang Fan did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered a production line Messerschmitt Me262 from Mr. System.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for spending 30 billion wealth points to successfully customize the Messerschmitt Me262 jet fighter production line. The account balance is 75478584."

Sure enough, making money is like picking soil with a needle, and spending money is like washing sand with water. After finally saving billions of wealth points, all of them were spent at once, leaving only more than 7000 million in the pocket.

"Action is worse than heartbeat, and action is worse than immediate action." After Yang Fan sighed softly, he immediately called his father-in-law Wu Rongbang, Secretary-General Liu Chengchang, Air Force Commander Wang Liguo and others.

Well, it's better to be alone than to be happy with others. No matter how many achievements there are no one to share, what's the taste?

"What? Chief, you mean you got a complete production line of jet fighters?"

"Oh my God, you are too powerful, Chief. So many people in our research institute have worked hard for a year, and so far we have only produced a half-baked model machine."

"870 kilometers per hour, my God, isn't that too fast?"

"Haha, that's great, now our air force should make great progress again!"

"The chief seat is mighty! The chief seat is domineering!"

Needless to say, it received rave reviews. In addition to being extremely excited, everyone deeply worshiped Yang Fan again, which was like singing the rhythm of conquering on their knees.

In the past few months, although the domestic battlefield was not as hot as the European battlefield on the Eastern Front and the Pacific battlefield, it was by no means calm.

Chapter 1561

Although Yang Fan does not intend to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army under unnecessary circumstances, he will never passively wait for the end of the war.

Over the past few days, the Huben army has maintained a strong offensive momentum, using its powerful offensive capabilities to smash the solid defense lines of the Japanese army little by little, and regained one town after another.

Although the Japanese devils who were forced into the corner were very angry and dreamed of being able to hit a backhand fiercely, even if they were killed and the net was broken, they would not hesitate to burn everything.

But Yang Fan would not give them this chance to risk their lives, and strictly ordered all the attacking troops to fight steadily, not asking how fast or how much the results of the battle are, as long as they can accumulate small victories into big victories and effectively kill the vital forces of the Japanese army. That's fine.

The Huben army has strong technical equipment and technical means with crushing advantages, and its logistical support capabilities are also very strong. Ammunition and fuel supplies are very sufficient. As long as it is handled carefully, this small goal can be achieved.

Therefore, even though the defensive troops of the Japanese army were all full of energy, they tried to use the advantage of the defensive location to seriously consume the technical equipment and vitality of the Huben army, so as to achieve the strategic goal of gradually reversing the passive situation.

However, when the Japanese defense forces tried their best and tried their best, they finally discovered sadly that this was just wishful thinking.

Not only are they unable to resist the fierce offensive of the Huben army, but they often only have to exchange a few lives for one life.

After working hard for a long time, they could only end up losing their wives and soldiers. This kind of blood loss trading was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the morale and confidence of the Japanese army.

The most coquettish operation among them, of course, was the bombing of the Japanese airport in Taiwan today, which suddenly pushed the counter-offensive to a new height and climax.

After the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Japan has always regarded Taiwan as its mainland.

At present, Taiwan is not only a forward base for invading China, but also an important throat leading to the Pacific Ocean, which can be used as a transit supply station for Japan to invade Southeast Asian countries.

There is no doubt that Taiwan plays an extremely important strategic role for Japan.

This time, the Japanese base camp was deeply shaken by the air strike from the Chinese mainland.

Because of this incident, it marks that the attack on the Japanese mainland is not far away.

At this moment, Japan, the instigator of the Pacific War, is exhausted and its defeat is becoming more and more obvious, whether it is in the South Pacific battlefield or the Central Pacific battlefield.

The sea line of communication of the Japanese army has been seriously threatened, and it may be cut off by the US military at any time. Hundreds of thousands of southern dispatched troops are in danger of falling into a battle without a rear.

Although the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet still exists at this time, it still has a strong combat effectiveness, especially relying on the defense island chain of the Pacific Islands, it can still continue to resist.

However, the sea and air forces of the Allied forces in the Pacific battlefield are developing and growing at a faster rate, and the huge sea and air fleets are all directed at the Japanese army.

The Japanese deeply understand that, with its incomparably powerful industrial production capacity, the United States can produce and build more aircraft carriers in one month than Japan can build in a year.

Whenever the U.S. fleet chooses an island to launch an attack in the western Pacific Ocean, dozens of aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and submarines are often dispatched, and there are also black combat aircraft groups in the sky.

Faced with such a powerful sea and air force, the Japanese army tried their best to shrink their defenses and made up their minds to perish.

But passive defense is tantamount to being passively beaten. The Allied forces can use God's perspective to carry out various tactical attacks, making it difficult for the Japanese troops on various islands to defend against.

After one after another island offensive and defensive battles, the result is often that the Japanese defense forces did not formally contact the landing forces, and those islands that were originally only palm-sized were destroyed in the super-saturated artillery preparations. , Even the surface fortifications were blown to pieces.

When the landing operation started, it goes without saying that the result was basically a one-sided massacre.

Even during this period, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has been actively looking for fighters, and at the same time seized many fighters, causing extremely heavy damage to the Allied fleet.

But the effect didn't stop there. After a series of encounters and attrition battles, the combined Japanese fleet could only become weaker and weaker, shorter and weaker.

Especially now that the United States has successfully developed what is known as the "Super Sky Fortress"?China's B-29 strategic bomber has begun to enter the mass production stage.

In this regard, the Tongmeng News Agency issued a report at the end of December, claiming that "the new super heavy bomber B-12 is far larger than the existing various bombers, and its performance is also extremely superior. It will be used on the front line in the spring of 29,...

American military experts believe that the base where the US military can launch a concentrated attack on the Japanese mainland is the Huaxia base first. For this reason, a special air force will be established. "

The report of the Tongmeng News Agency is tantamount to an ultimatum to Japan. Once a large number of B-29 bombers are deployed in China, the so-called "home defense" of the Japanese army will be fatally hit.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese intelligence agency confirmed the report of the Tongmeng News Agency, and successively discovered B-29 bases in Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi and other places. If the "Super Sky Fortress" takes off from these places, it can bomb Japan's mainland Kitakyushu.

All of a sudden, there was great fear at the highest level of the Japanese army, and it was spreading rapidly.

Because they still clearly remember that just over a year ago, the Huben Air Force had attacked Tokyo.

And that time, the Huben Air Force was only a small-scale sneak attack, but it caused an extremely serious disaster.

Although after a strict defense, several sneak attacks by the Huben Air Force were defeated one after another, so far that the mainland has not suffered more serious air attacks, but has only been frightened several times.

But this thorn has long been deeply embedded in the hearts of Hirohito and others, and has become a lingering pain.

Now the Americans are ready to do something, which is completely different. Although Yang Fan has always been very strong and sharp, in the eyes of the Japanese, the United States is always the ultimate enemy.

Because they know that once the Americans get serious, it will never be a small fight, it will definitely be a massive bombing on an unprecedented scale.

At the same time, they also know that Yang Fan is a master who likes to gossip. Once the American bombers can conduct strategic bombing in Japan unimpeded, the Huben Air Force will definitely come to add insult to injury.

In that case, the Japanese Empire will inevitably suffer an unbearable unprecedented disaster.

Fear and a desperate mentality made the highest level of the Japanese army eager to reverse the defeat. The Japanese base camp accelerated the formulation of the so-called "Operation Plan No. [-]", trying to destroy the main air bases of the US military in central and southern China while opening up the lines of communication in the mainland, and eliminate the The main force of the national government army.

Chapter 1562

Soon, the Emperor of Japan approved the "No. [-] Operation Draft" of the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force, and then the Prime Minister of Japan issued the No. [-] Operation Order.

This battle plan is named "No. [-]" because the Japanese army decided to launch the largest attack on the Chinese battlefield since the invasion of China.

The Japanese army planned to launch the Ping-Han Line Operation around April 1944, which lasted about a month; the Hunan-Guangxi Operation from Wuhan in June, and the Hunan-Guangxi Operation from Guangdong in August.

The total number of troops participating in the battle is about 35 to 40 divisions and 4 aviation divisions, and the time is about five and a half months.

If conditions permit, capture the vicinity of Nanning in early 1945, open up and ensure the traffic from Guilin to Lang Son, Vietnam.

The Japanese army not only wanted to fight desperately, but also put all their eggs in one basket.

Japan's Huaxia Dispatch Army has long hoped to carry out large-scale combat operations against the National Government in order to force the National Government to surrender.

However, since the Huben Army has been exerting huge military pressure and restraining most of the troops, the base camp can only allow Okamura Ningji to stabilize the situation first and keep the existing occupied area.

Now that the base camp has finally made up its mind to carry out a large-scale military operation against the Kuomintang-controlled area, Okamura Ningji and his staff were very excited for a while and acted quickly.

Soon, Okamura Ningji came up with a plan and reported it to the base camp, and asked the base camp to reply as soon as possible in order to deploy operations.

However, the base camp replied by telegram that this operation would have a great impact on the overall situation of the war, and decisions should not be made hastily. Such an important operational outline cannot be transmitted by telegram.

So, not long after, Matsui Kyutaro, chief of staff of the China Dispatch Army, was ordered to fly to Tokyo to receive the combat order and the reviewed combat outline.

In the approved "Operation No. 1942" outline, the Japanese base camp believed that the scale of this field operation was huge, and its scale and force were significantly larger than the aborted "Operation No. [-]" (the so-called "Chongqing Raiders") in [-]. More than anything.

In order to conceal the combat intention of this large-scale expedition, we must strictly keep it secret, and instruct all armies to try to conceal their active combat intentions in the Chinese mainland.

If Huaxia was aware of the preparations for the war, it should deliberately pretend to attack Chongqing to deceive the opponent.

And while Japan's Huaxia Dispatch Army was secretly preparing for the war, the Central Pacific Theater in charge of Nimitz also started to make troubles.

The Marshall Islands is located in the Micronesia region of the Central Pacific Ocean, about 3200 kilometers southwest of Hawaii and about 2100 kilometers southeast of Guam. It consists of 29 atoll island groups and five small islands with a total of 1225 islands and reefs, with a land area of ​​181.3 square kilometers. .

After a long and meticulous investigation of the Marshall Islands, Nimitz pointed the next combat target at the heart of the Marshall Islands.

Facing the strict defense of the Japanese army, Nimitz did not directly reckless, but took sufficient artillery preparations, and repeatedly used the tactics of seizing the Japanese airport to suppress the surrounding areas,

Beginning in December, Nimitz ordered the troops to carry out large-scale air strikes on the Marshall Islands to destroy the Japanese air force and combat ships on the island. The fortifications have been permanently prepared to prepare for future landing operations with aviation firepower and naval artillery firepower.

On December 12, Altafjord, Norway.

The pier was full of drums and music, and it was very lively. People used flowers, applause and cheers to honor the heroes in their hearts.

The battlecruiser Scharnhorst, anchored in Altafjord, Norway, proudly raised its murderous 279mm cannon, and swallowed all the praise and admiration for it.

Even in the midwinter of the Nordic Straits, it could not conceal the spring-like smile on the face of the commander of the German battleship in Norway, Erich Bey, standing on the bridge at this time.

Beside Bei, Xin Ce, the new captain of the sandship, was also standing with a happy face at the moment.

While talking, the two lost no time in waving to the people who saw them off, and such gestures often lead to more enthusiastic responses.

The Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser is a large main battleship designed and built by Nazi Germany in the 20s.

该级战列巡洋舰装备9门279毫米口径主炮、12门150毫米副炮、14门105毫米高射炮和16门37毫米机关炮.

The power of the main engine on the ship is 16.6 horsepower, and the maximum speed is 32 knots. However, the armor protection of the whole ship has the problem of weak horizontal deck. The design displacement of the whole ship is 32000 tons.

As the first Jumbo-class super battleship of the Nazi Empire, it attracted the attention of the whole world, and at the same time, it was placed high hopes by the Germans who were unwilling to be inferior.The head of state was accompanied by the commander-in-chief of the navy at that time, Raeder, to attend this grand ceremony.

Due to the lack of experience of the German designers, this hastily built warship has many flaws, neither fish nor fowl.

Its displacement is equivalent to that of a British battleship, its speed is equivalent to that of a battlecruiser, and its armor is thicker than that of a battlecruiser, but its firepower is between that of a battlecruiser and a cruiser.

As a result, the British battleships could not catch up, the cruisers could not beat them, and the battlecruisers would suffer a disadvantage in competing with them.

Because the "Scharnhorst" class has the above unexpected and weird features, making it like a bloodthirsty shark, fierce and elusive, it has become the most legendary and most successful ship in the German Navy.

Although it eventually ended up with a tragic ending at the bottom of the sea, its existence has long caused headaches for the Allied Navy, and it has created the first example of sinking an aircraft carrier with naval guns.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the sandship, which was ready for everything, quietly left the anchorage accompanied by the destroyer. The hideous hull looked surprisingly terrifying under the moonlight.

Xin Ce, who stood alone on the bridge, took out the order for this expedition again from his coat pocket.

According to the order, the sandship attacked in the port of Murmansk and intercepted the British JW55B convoy, which consisted of 19 cargo ships and was escorted by several large destroyers.

Xin Ze showed a sneer, because Tan was full of confidence in the giant steel ship he was driving: "How can those British destroyers withstand the hammer of my nine 9-inch main guns! The British who have no resistance Cargo ships will be doomed again, and sandships will surely win new honors.

The German sailors who went out together are also in a state of excitement at the moment.

Not only because today is Christmas Eve, you can have a happy meal, but also because the surface combat ships of the German Navy have hardly engaged in real battles for more than a year, and several capital ships have been moored in the ports of Northern Europe to contain Powerful British fleet.

But today, they can finally go to war, and they can finally show their talents and fight the enemy again.

It's just that the wind is rustling and the water is cold!

What these sailors didn't know was that as early as May 1941, the British army found coded telegrams in the telegraph cabinet of the German submarine U-5. "Enigma" cryptographic system.

Therefore, as soon as the Shajian was dispatched, the British side obtained accurate information.

Chapter 1563 A Sad Full Stop

At 12:26 on December 7, the German fleet sailed to the ocean 30 nautical miles southeast of Bear Island. At this time, the radar of the "Scharnhorst" was damaged during the voyage, and it became a blind bat in the icy sea.

And it was this mechanical failure that provided the British fleet with an excellent opportunity.

Two hours later, a flash of light in the sky illuminated the sea, and the British "Battle Group One" blocked its way. There was a brief exchange of fire between the two sides, and the "Scharnhorst" was hit by several shells.
