mixed in the war

() If it was before, absolutely no one would think that the Air Force would become an important factor in determining the outcome of the Sino-Japanese war.

Because there is no comparison.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese Army had nearly 3000 fighters of various types. Although the Chinese Air Force appeared to be stronger than the Japanese Air Force, it actually had only 600 fighters, and most of them were old products. Can't compete with the ri machine.There are many reasons for this, and the most criticized one is Soong Meiling, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force. It is said that she invested the money that Zheng Fu bought the plane.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, the Chinese Air Force was severely devastated by the Japanese Air Force. The Chinese Air Force pilots used their lives as the price to barely resist the opponent's offensive.However, under such circumstances, the Air Force still suffered huge losses and was unable to support ground warfare.The Japanese army, on the other hand, was just the opposite, with planes above and tanks below, constantly ravaging the squadron with an almost overwhelming advantage.

At that time, neither Japan nor China paid much attention to the Air Force.In Ri's own opinion, the air force is just a helper they can call for reconnaissance and when encountering more troublesome obstacles.And what about the Chinese?I have no concept of the Air Force at all.He can only silently endure the sweeping shots and bombs from the sky when the Japanese plane strikes.

But since Qin Wei entered the air force, the situation has changed.

In the first battle, when the Japanese were arrogant and careless, they commanded the Chinese Air Force to attack Wuhan Wangjiadun Airport at night, destroying hundreds of Japanese fighter planes parked in Wuhan; Pretended to deceive the enemy plane, took the opportunity to bomb Wuhan Airport again, and launched a surprise attack when the enemy bomber group returned, once again smashing the Japanese aviation force; in the third battle, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, when the Japanese aviation force suffered heavy losses and lost the air supremacy in Wuhan and other areas , bombed the headquarters of the 11th Army of Japan, killing Japanese Army General Sugiyama Moto and Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army Yamashita Fufumi; in the fourth battle, in the Battle of Nanchang, the air force launched a large-scale attack and destroyed Okamura Neiji's heavy artillery brigade Regiments, chariot clusters, and a large amount of luggage allowed Okamura Ningji to have elite soldiers, but he was defeated because of insufficient supplies; in the fifth battle, during the Battle of Southern Guangxi, a large number of Japanese army luggage and heavy weapons were destroyed. The firepower of the army was severely damaged; in the sixth battle, a large number of fighter planes were secretly sent to the northwest region, and a sudden attack was launched while the Japanese Mongolian troops stationed in Mongolia launched an attack on Fu Zuoyi's troops, causing the troops stationed in Mongolia to be defeated by Okabe Naozaburo's troops , losing Baotou, Guisui and other important towns in a row; in the seventh battle, he commanded the air force to make a long-distance raid and bombed the 731 troops in the suburbs of Harbin, causing the headquarters of the 731 troops in Harbin to be almost wiped out; An ambush was set up, and the Yin*ri army fighter group entered the ambush circle, destroying more than [-] fighter planes of the Japanese army in one fell swoop with absolute superiority in strength, more than [-] of which were the latest Japanese Zero fighter jets, and destroyed many of the Japanese army's fighter jets at the same time. A river boat, and killed a large number of Japanese troops...

In these few battles, the Japanese army lost hundreds of pilots, and to a large extent lost its air supremacy on the battlefields of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and even Guangxi.With the loss of air supremacy and the frequent bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army not only found that it was no longer as destructive as before, but also became more and more difficult to fight.

How about all your soldiers trained for a long time?How are your soldiers well-supplied?So what if your soldiers are backed up with tanks and heavy artillery?Without air supremacy, these can only be regarded as empty talk.

Moreover, Japanese tanks and chariots are becoming less and less useful.

With the large-scale use of "unconscionable cannons", many masters of using this kind of artillery have emerged in the Chinese Army. These masters can easily drop explosives on the Japanese army's battleground at a distance of 200 meters. on cars and tanks. Ri's chariots and tanks have always been known for their thin skin, so they suffered heavy losses under such blows.But this is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that not only regular troops are using "unscrupulous guns" in large quantities, but even guerrillas are also using them.In other words, even if Japan's own tanks and chariots encounter Chinese guerrillas, they are no longer very effective.

What a huge blow this is to Ri himself?

For a long time, they have only a few magic weapons for victory: air force, tanks, heavy artillery, and well-trained soldiers who dare to work hard!

But now their air force is not dominant, and it can even be said that they have lost consecutive battles; tanks and chariots are becoming less and less useful; heavy artillery does not dare to be used on a large scale, because if they are not careful, they may be bombed by the Chinese Air Force; soldiers... …The successive battles resulted in huge losses to the elite, and they could only be replenished with recruits and reserves. The most important thing is that the morale of the army was severely hit by successive defeats, and the morale of the army was depressed!

And after careful study of all this, we can find the faint and even extremely arrogant shadow of the Chinese Air Force behind these problems.

Without the Chinese Air Force, Okamura Ningji could have used heavy artillery and tank armor to break through Luo Zhuoying's encirclement in the battle of Nanchang, and he might even turn defeat into victory; without the Chinese Air Force, Okabe Naozaburo might have driven Fu Zuoyi out of Suiyuan; Without the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army’s losses in the Changsha Battle would not have been so great; without the Chinese Air Force, Sugiyama Yuan and Yamashita Fengwen would not have died!

……

"The key is the Air Force!"

Not only Okamura Neiji, Terauchi Shouichi and Doihara Kenji have long thought of the reason for their successive defeats.If it hadn't been for the Chinese Air Force to obtain air supremacy on the battlefield through various means, they would not have failed so many times in succession.Even if their military information is stolen and the various plans are known to the Chinese government, they can rely on the strength of the army itself to reverse many unfavorable factors.But precisely because of the loss of air supremacy, they were unable to send out even if they were strong.

"The biggest mistake we made before was to think the enemy was too powerful." Kenji Doihara looked solemn, "Although the strength of the Chinese Air Force is getting stronger and stronger, it cannot be supplemented at any time like the empire. The reason why they will become more and more powerful We are strong because we did not lose much in many battles. But why did they not lose? It is because we always want to gain the greatest victory at the least cost!... Qin Wei has seized this weakness of ours, One trap after another was set, sending our fighter planes and pilots to hell."

"That's right, they must be forced to fight!"

Terauchi Shouichi slammed his fist hard on the table. ... Zhou Fohai rebelled again.Not only did they rebel, but they also took away a large number of people including Tang Mang and Sun Liangcheng, as well as tens of thousands of "peaceful rescuers"!The influence of this incident is extremely huge, and Wang Qing from Nanjing defected here.Such a person, such a big figure who sits in the third place in the Nanjing government, is no longer optimistic about Wang Jingwei's future, and even does not hesitate to "break" in such an irreversible way, who will be optimistic about Wang Jingwei again ?Who will be optimistic about Nanjing Zhengfu again?Who will be optimistic about the Japanese who support them?

If one had to use one sentence to evaluate Zhou Fohai's rebellion again, it would be "extremely bad influence"!

Zhou Fohai's rebellion even alarmed the Emperor Hirohito of Japan. This "man of God" even issued an order to question Terauchi Shouichi himself. Not only anger, but also a lot of grievances.Who would have imagined Zhou Fohai as the number three figure in the hardcore Hanfu.Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen under Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, will they rebel?Obviously not.How could Zhou Fohai rebel then?

Unforeseen and incomprehensible.

But this tone has to come out.

This time, Kenji Doihara made good use of his ability as the chief of staff of the dispatched army, and quickly found him a target to vent his anger on - Qin Wei!

Because Doihara concluded that Qin Wei was the mastermind behind all this.Only this guy can think of it, and only this guy dares to make a fuss about someone of Zhou Fohai's level.Apart from Qin Wei, those who engaged in spy operations in Chongqing, whether it was Chen Lifu or Dai Li, would not have this idea, and they would never have the confidence to put it into action, and it would never be possible for Zhou Fohai to rebel at the same time. And by the way, the courage to sweep away tens of thousands of troops!

Only Qin Wei!

Didn't run away! < qing is the foundation of truly settling down.

Eliminating the Chinese Air Force will hurt Qin Wei to the bone.

Eliminate the Chinese Air Force, and their planes can drop bombs on Chiang Kai-shek's head.

But the problem is that Qin Wei is cruel and cunning, and his use of the air force is like a powerful and unconstrained style.Although they tried their best to mobilize more than 60 Zero fighters, more than [-] ordinary fighters, and more than [-] bombers of various types from all over China, as well as the Japanese mainland and the Soviet battlefield, they are confident that they already have an overwhelming force. advantage, but what if Qin Wei doesn't fight?This time, they almost dispatched most of the aviation troops in China except the Northeast. If Qin Wei gave them a way to avoid the reality and attack the falsehood at this time, they would use the tricks that they performed on Okabe Naozaburo back then. How about doing it again?

Whether it is Rikichi Ando in Guangzhou, Yoshio Shinozuka in Shanxi, or Hayao Tada in North China, the opponents they face are not weak.If it loses air supremacy again, it is very likely that it will lose the battle.Even if you don't lose the battle, you will inevitably suffer huge losses.The Chinese are not afraid of losses, because they have nothing to lose, but Japan is different.After losing several times in succession on the battlefield, if you lose again, the morale of the army will be severely hit, and it may even cause some people to lose confidence in this war.

Therefore, even though they had enough power, they never dared to expose it easily, for fear of scaring Qin Wei away!

But so many fighters can't just sit there all the time.

Both of them were extremely troubled by this.

However, with the blessing of God Amaterasu, the opportunity finally came.

"Ri Japan to save Japan peacefully? Chiang Kai-shek will personally present the flag and title to Okamura Ningji and Nakai Ryotaro?" Throwing the newspaper in his hand on the ground, Terauchi Shouichi said grimly: "It's just right, let's solve it together!"
