? China, Japanese Occupied Area, Shanghai. The two Japanese soldiers looked at the newspaper in front of them with ugly faces. This is a newspaper from China. It wrote about the content of a battle three days ago. The content directly slapped the Japanese Army Aviation Corps.
Three Japanese KI-43 fighter jets that had just entered service were shot down by the Chinese Air Force, which had been silent for a long time and suddenly attacked. Accompanied by the failure of the entire Wuhan operation, this loss was simply a provocation to the mighty Japanese Empire, which all Japanese soldiers could not tolerate. And this failure directly caused Tojo Hideki's position in the base camp to be shaken, adding countless troubles to Japan's future operations.
"Ozawa-kun, this offensive operation is really embarrassing to our Great Japanese Empire. Not to mention the decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, even we, who have been fighting against the Chinese Air Force, have suffered such heavy casualties..." A The Japanese officer holding the newspaper complained to another officer standing next to him with an unhappy expression.
The standing officer is the Air Force Lieutenant of the Japanese Occupation Army in China. A few days ago, his troops encountered a fierce attack from the Chinese Air Force and dispatched four escorting new fighter jets, the KI-43 Falcon fighter jets. The ME-109C fighters that took off shot down 3 of them. This kind of aircraft has just served in the army as a competing aircraft for the Navy's Zero fighter in 39 years, and is rarely used in the backward Chinese battlefield.
In order to support this operation, these aircraft have just been transferred back from the fierce Pacific battlefield. Although they use novice pilots, they are still one of the most advanced aircraft in the hands of the Japanese army. However, the battle to attack the Wuhan Theater ended up with the retreat of the Japanese army, and all kinds of losses were infinitely magnified.
"I heard that the ME-109C fighter jets in China are relatively old models, and most of them can't take off because of lack of spare parts... But can you tell me? Why is the most cutting-edge fighter jet in our Empire of Japan? Under such circumstances, suffered the worst failure?" The Japanese general who was sitting on the seat holding a newspaper did not see the embarrassment on the face of the standing army aviation soldier, and continued to ask unrelentingly.
The standing Japanese officer named Ozawa lowered his head further, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to speak. His fighter force suffered unprecedented losses over the Chinese, but if it was only the loss of 3 fighters, there would not be such a massive investigation-because of paralysis and underestimation of the enemy, only 4 of the 30 Swallowing bombers in the Japanese bomber fleet KI-43 escort.
After his fighter force lost and retreated, 30 slow-flying Tunlongs were shot down by the Chinese Air Force and 6 of them. If it weren't for the fact that the ME-109C fighter jets produced in Germany didn't have a lot of ammunition, the Chinese Air Force, which had run out of ammunition, would have no way to continue to expand its results. Perhaps none of the 30 old-fashioned Tunlong bombers would be able to fly back.
"Damn it, didn't the Germans only export dozens of these fighter jets to China? Including the lost planes, how can they make up 10 fighter jets in one go?" The angry Japanese Officer Ji continued to talk to himself there,
It seemed to be venting the depression in his heart.
In fact, the ME-109C fighter jet exported by Germany has already become a world fighter jet. Not only Germany can manufacture this kind of aircraft, but even the United States has some supporting factories for parts. After all, the United States once smuggled this kind of aircraft and used it as a reference to design the new P-50 fighter jet. Therefore, at the request of the Chinese government, the United States produced some accessories and secretly sent them to China, which urgently needed these accessories, in submarines.
This is also the reason why Chinese fighter jets have regained their vitality after a few months of silence-it's just that it is the parts produced by the Americans that make these eagles from Germany fly again. Of course, Japan doesn't know these things now, because they are very convinced that it is impossible for China to obtain accessories from Germany.
"Mr. Tojo is in a very bad situation now. The decisive southward battle he advocated has had little effect. We have not made an effective breakthrough in the Wuhan area where the Chinese army is heavily defended. In recent months, we have consumed a large amount of reserve materials. , but there is no way to get all kinds of supplies in the occupied area as before..." The sitting general finally stopped embarrassing the standing army aviation commander: "The war has been going on so far, it has been a war. It is meaningless to persist, but unfortunately the power to end the war is not in our hands."
He said to himself, a little lonely and helpless: "The fighter jets developed by the Germans two years ago are even more powerful than the fighter jets we just entered into service. Design experts, can't come up with an aircraft that surpasses the opponent?"
"Your Excellency, in fact, the KI-43 fighter is not inferior to the opponent in terms of performance! The main reason for our loss is that the fighter pilots assigned to me are all novice fighter pilots who don't even know how to fly fighter jets..." He kept lowering The lieutenant officer of the Army Air Corps at the head finally spoke up. He had to say a fair word for his fighter jets and troops, even though this fair word was something that no one wanted to hear.
Japan lost a large number of newly supplemented pilots in the Pacific Ocean, and most of the novice pilots trained with great difficulty were lost again in the Battle of Bismarck Islands. The Army can only use worse pilot pilots. This is the root cause of the defeat in this air battle.
"Shut up! General Koga Mineichi has already devoted his allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, General Kurita Takeo has been dismissed, and Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six has taken over the Combined Fleet... Don't mention anything about the Pacific battlefield." The general obviously Having had enough of the army and navy attacking each other, he interrupted the complaints of his subordinates.
But after halfway through his speech, he seemed to have thought of something, so he turned his head, looked at his subordinates and asked, "I'll recruit a few ace pilots, lure the Chinese pilots to attack, and then fight back the losses... How about it?"
Hearing this proposal, the lieutenant officer's eyes lit up immediately: If he could have some better pilots, then he is still very confident in severely injuring the Chinese Air Force as he did in the first Songhu battle, and from another perspective , if the counterattack is successful, then the guilt on him will be lessened.
"If Your Excellency, General, is willing to give me this opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, I will definitely do my best to destroy this damn Chinese air force!" Thinking of this, the air force lieutenant quickly bowed and promised loudly.
"Hey! I will write you a secondment order immediately. We must do our best to reverse the current situation, for His Majesty the Emperor! For the Empire of Japan!" The Japanese general said as he stood up and looked out the window. The bright and clear sky finally stood up: "Ozawa-kun! Please!"
"Hi!" Nakazuo Ozawa quickly bent over and said, "I will personally fly the plane to attack! Fight to the death with those damn Chinese pilots!"
At this time, Wang Guangfu, who had just obtained his ace pilot qualification, was inspecting his fighter jets at the secret front-line field airport in China. The ME-109C fighter jet has been in service in China for many years. As the pilot of this plane, Wang Guangfu knows his own plane as well as a technician.
He can even fix everything except the engine, replacing expensive imports with some local ones. During the Battle of Songhu, he achieved the results of shooting down 3 Japanese planes. In this attack, he drove the newly repaired ME-109C fighter jet and shot down a Japanese fighter plane and a Japanese bomber plane. ace pilot.
At this moment, he was stroking his favorite German fighter jet, facing the achievement mark under the cockpit of his fighter jet with the Japanese flag painted on it with a joyful expression. In the distance, a ground crew quickly ran to the tail of his plane, smiled and shouted to the new ace pilot: "Captain! With these parts shipped from Myanmar, we just repaired another one Unflyable ME-109C fighter jets! Now we have 7 fighter jets that can fly! Counting the American P-40, now we can fly at least 20 planes to face those Japanese invaders!"
20 aircraft...maybe for Japan, it is just an insignificant number, but this number is already a very exciting number for China. Although the number is much smaller than that in the Songhu battle, it is already a remarkable achievement for the Chinese theater in adversity.
"Next time! The next time the Japanese invaders attack! Let's take off! Don't let these beasts continue to wreak havoc over our motherland!" Wang Guangfu stroked the cold window edge of his fighter cockpit and said firmly.
In this magical land of China, if there is no radar, countless observation posts and ancient beacon towers are used for early air early warning; if there is no anti-aircraft artillery, large-caliber machine guns are used instead. No matter how hard and poor they are, Chinese soldiers are still using all the methods they can think of to resist the Japanese attack.
The good news is, they succeeded. In the defense of Wuhan, China's 1.1 million troops fought hard for 40 days and lost a full 300,000 people. They finally achieved the first brilliant victory in stopping the advance of the Japanese army and protected the precarious Wuhan industrial zone. The 40-day battle wiped out a total of more than 90,000 Japanese troops and added a full 100,000 wounded to the Japanese army, but did not allow the Japanese army to obtain a new occupied area.
"Let the little devils come! We are waiting for them here! Even if we lose, there are still our sons and grandsons! One day, we will drive them out of China!" Wang Guangfu jumped off the plane, Said word by word.
