Chapter 643 Ogawa Tachijun

What makes Ye Tian sigh is that at this time, the government has a lot of foreign-made aircraft, reaching as many as 600.

However, there are only about 100 aircraft that can actually perform combat missions.

Among them, the main aircraft is the Hawk fighter of the United States.

The rest of the aircraft that can participate in combat can at most perform simple bombing and other tasks.

The aircraft that cannot participate in combat are used as models for flight trainees to learn and observe at close range.

On the other hand, the advantages of the island country over China are really not a little bit, and China is not comparable to them.

When the full-scale war of resistance broke out, not to mention bombers, the island country had more than 2,700 fighters alone!

In addition, they also have hundreds of transport aircraft, training aircraft, and research aircraft.

In fact, before and during World War II, the air forces of the island country and the United States were not independent, and belonged to the army and navy respectively.

According to the different uses of aircraft, they are divided into army aircraft and navy aircraft.

It must be said that after the Meiji Restoration, the island country learned from the European and American powers, and its national strength became increasingly strong, with strong aircraft manufacturing capabilities.

Even if it is not running at full capacity, the island country can produce more than a thousand aircraft a year.

In fact, before this, the island country's military aircraft were originally purchased from Britain, France and other countries.

As we all know, the island country's scientific research ability, or the ability to copy, is very strong.

After various copying and learning, the island country's aircraft manufacturing industry gradually took shape after the start of the local war of resistance and entered a rapid development mode.

Specifically, they can mass-produce military aircraft according to their own independently designed drawings.

There is a rule for the aircraft manufactured by the island country itself, that is, the serial number is arranged according to the imperial calendar.

For example, 1935 is the 2595th year of the island country's imperial calendar, and the military aircraft they manufactured is called "Type 95".

Of course, in front of the serial number, there are also the names of the development and main manufacturers, such as "Kawasaki", "Nakajima", "Mitsubishi", etc.

In fact, from the "July 7 Incident" to the beginning of May 1940, the fighters used by the island country were mainly the "Type 95" and "Type 96" series.

After that, the "Zero" fighter with a small turning radius and fast flying speed appeared and was used until the defeat.

The Japanese bombers had fewer styles, mainly the "Type 96".

Moreover, they were used on the Chinese battlefield during the eight-year all-out war of resistance.

In fact, after 1941, the island country developed and produced new bombers.

However, considering that China's air force was too weak, the island country put all the new bombers into the Pacific battlefield, and thus fought hard with the United States and other allies, and rarely appeared in China.

Under Ye Tian's close attention, these 38 Japanese planes kept bombing the Nanyuan position.

Thinking of Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu's troops, who had been bombed, Ye Tian was really anxious.

Unfortunately, these Japanese planes had been flying at medium and high altitudes, and had been outside the range of two anti-aircraft machine guns and silent sniper rifles.

However, what made Ye Tian's eyes light up was that perhaps because they thought that the Chinese army's air defense capabilities were too poor, these planes began to descend in altitude.

In this situation, Ye Tian was greatly inspired and made all preparations.

Of course, Ye Tian did not forget to remind the dead soldiers to be ready at all times.

Then, wearing a telescope, Ye Tian kept staring at these planes.

"Kawasaki Type 95 fighter!"

"Type 96 fighter!"

"Type 96 bomber!"

The distance was closer, and with a telescope, combined with the knowledge before the time travel, Ye Tian further determined the types of these planes.

The "Kawasaki Type 95" fighter was one of the models used by the Japanese army in the early days of the War of Resistance.

It is the last biplane fighter produced by the island country, with a wingspan of 10 meters, a fuselage of 7.55 meters, a total weight of 1,847 kilograms, a maximum speed of about 400 kilometers per hour, and a range of 1,100 kilometers.

Open cockpit, one crew member, two machine guns, and the landing gear cannot be retracted.

In Ye Tian's impression, this model is roughly equivalent to the performance of the "Hawk" fighter used by the Chinese Air Force.

Because Huayang looked down on the Chinese Air Force, the island country first used this obsolete model.

The Type 96 fighter was made by the island country. It was a single-wing fighter with an open cockpit, one crew member, and two machine guns.

Its speed was slightly faster than the Type 95. As the main aircraft model of the island country, it was used on the Chinese battlefield until 1940.

The Chinese Air Force aircraft models that confronted it were mainly American-made "Hawk" during the Nanjing period, and Soviet-made I-15 and I-16 during the Wuhan period.

Ye Tian was very excited to find that the 38 aircraft were still lowering their altitude.

Ye Tian believed that the devils did this with deep intentions.

The devil pilots may think that the overall situation on the Nanyuan position has been determined, and they are trying to understand the air defense deployment elsewhere, so as to bomb other Chinese positions.

Ye Tian's guess was right. At this time, the Nanyuan position had indeed reached the last moment.

As in history, Tong Linge's leg was injured.

However, Tong Linge said that he was slightly injured and did not leave the front line, and he was still commanding the battle.

Of course, the situation on Zhao Dengyu's side was similar, with countless casualties and serious combat casualties.

In addition, the situation of the Nanyuan position was reported to Song Zheyuan from time to time.

Song Zheyuan frowned and was thinking about the solution from time to time.

Song Zheyuan decided to let Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu hold on for a while, and if it really didn't work, they would withdraw.

Then, the next step of battle deployment will be made.

On the other side, the Japanese soldiers of the 20th Division were very excited when they found that the Chinese troops were successfully divided and surrounded by their own side. They had entered the mode of victory.

In fact, the most excited one was Ogawa Tachikuni.

Ogawa Tachikuni is 28 years old this year. Like most Japanese soldiers, he has been seriously brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and militarism.

Moreover, he has always been thinking about making contributions to the emperor and the Great Japanese Empire.

Even if his blood is shed in the sky, he will not hesitate and be proud of it.

He has had a biggest dream since he was a child, that is, to fly a plane and fight in various parts of China, so as to turn China into the mainland of an island country.

After hard work, he joined the Army Aviation Force as he wished and became a fighter pilot.

However, he was very ambitious and wanted to lead a flying squadron.

In order to succeed, he contributed his wife to his superiors and wrote a blood letter to his superiors, saying that he would fight well.

Ogawa Tachikuni's efforts paid off, and he finally became a major captain.

This devil was very arrogant and looked down on the Chinese.

Thinking of the Chinese soldiers who were injured and wounded during the bombing of the Nanyuan position, Ogawa Ritsujun was very excited and screamed.

In order to show off his flying skills, he ordered other pilots to do a good job of monitoring, and then he actually performed some fancy moves.
