According to the recollections of the Japanese crew, one seemed to be some kind of Leopard fighter.

Leopard fighters, or when they were chatting in the public channel, they occasionally heard questions and answers from the opposing pilots, and they knew the code name of this type of fighter.

From their professional point of view, the performance of this type of fighter is very outstanding, and the number is also very considerable, there are hundreds of roaring at every turn, and some performance parameters are even slightly better than the Type 96 ship battle, and have an absolute advantage in dealing with the Type 96 land attack.

The 96 Land Offensive was a new fighter of the Japanese army.

Even if the various models of this bomber are combined, there are only four or five hundred, and forty-nine are reimbursed at one time (and two crashed into the sea halfway), so that the elite Kaya, which can be called the Wing of the Army, is almost completely wiped out, which is indeed not something that Hawker III. can do.

However, the news of the disappearance of the deputy captain of the 1st Combined Air Force of the Japanese Army and the joint captain of Kaya, Yoshidai Ishii, shocked the entire Japanese Admiralty.

"Does Huaxia have a plane that is slightly better than the 96 ship battle?"

The headquarters of the Japanese Army Navy and Army Aviation did not believe it at all, believing that this was a heresy.

Nagumo Tadaichi, a well-known naval aviation expert, asked sarcastically at a meeting of naval and land aviation staff officers: "Among the major aviation powers in the world, there are indeed many fighters that can surpass the 96 warship."

"For example, Germany's cutting-edge fighter BF-109, well, the British Spitfire is also counted, by the way, and the American P38 Blitzkrieg."

"May I ask which one does Huaxia use?"

The intelligence staff officer of the Naval Aviation Department hurriedly handed the confessions of the crew members and the sketches of the new Huaxia fighter to Lieutenant General Nagumo Zhongyi, hoping that he would face the reality positively.

Before the intelligence staff officer had time to explain, he was smashed by the teacup thrown by Yamamoto Fifty-six, and his head was broken and bleeding.

Yamamoto, who was the director of the Japanese Air Force at the time, was reading other relevant materials, and he was already angry, and there were still people who dared to talk crookedly.

If it weren't for Nanyun Zhongyi's favorite general, he would have been slapped (slapped) by Sanbin a long time ago.

As for a small staff officer, it was killed, and that's it.

Fifty-six Yamamoto, who was somewhat silent, handed Lieutenant General Nagumo a copy of the document, which was the crew's description of the Flying Bear fighter.

"The code name of this type of fighter is unknown, and the shape is peculiar, like a triangular kite, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, there are two 12.7 mm machine guns, and two 20 mm machine guns, our Type 96 land attack, as long as it is hit by one shot, the machine will ......be destroyed and killed."

"Two 20mm cannons?"

Nan Yunzhong was stunned one by one, and suddenly even his eyes were slanted, and he didn't even notice the information in his hand floating to the ground, the person looked stupid, and there were words in his mouth, "What kind of plane is this?" Two cannons? A lot of tanks under 10 tons can't be fitted with this thing."

At this time, Japan's chief aircraft designer, Jiro Horikoshi, happened to step into the office of the aviation director, he was an acquaintance of Nagumo and Yamamoto, and he was more casual in talking and doing things.

When he learned of Lieutenant General Nagumo's doubts, Jiro Horikoshi immediately explained his doubts, "It is not very difficult to equip fighters with large-caliber cannons."

"Not only did the Empire's 96 land attack have a rear-firing machine gun, which is the British Spitfire, but there was also an improvement plan, that is, to change eight 7.7mm machine guns to two 20mm machine guns and four 7.7mm machine guns."

Nan Yunzhong frowned, and there were more questions in his heart.

He was about to open his mouth to ask one or two, but was stopped by General Yamamoto in time, handed the information in their hands to Jiro Horikoshi, and asked him to talk about his personal thoughts after reading everything.

The naval and land air strikes upset Yamamoto Isoroku.

Jiro Horikoshi is a cautious scholar, and he didn't care about the rudeness of General Yamamoto, and read several valuable materials several times, this is the warrior of the empire, and the information exchanged for his life, if it is wasted, it is the greatest insult to the warriors.

After Horikoshi finished reading it, he immediately drew on the white paper with colored pencils and sketched for a while.

Then he closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, until Nagumo Zhong wanted to hit someone violently.

Horikoshi Jiro opened his eyes, stared at Yamamoto Fifty-six, and said word by word, "The Leopard fighter of the Huaxia Air Force is a light fighter."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the German designer, who combined the characteristics of the BF-109 fighter and the Hawker III, and developed a new type of fighter whose comprehensive performance is indeed slightly better than the 96 ship battle. The fiasco of the 96 land offensive was inevitable."

"Ah——, this can't be."

Nan Yunzhong screamed one by one, like killing a pig.

You must know that Japan's naval aviation has always been known for its arrogance and bullishness, and all kinds of fighters used are aimed at the cutting-edge fighters of developed countries in Europe and the United States, and China has never been taken into account, not to mention that the HNA represents the highest level in Japan's aviation circles.

If it is not even possible to fight the 96 ships, the other planes will not be sent to death.

It seems that there are a lot of Japanese planes, and they are often claimed to be tens of thousands of fighters, and the planes that are about to invade the Chinese battlefield are as high as more than 3,000, but unfortunately most of them are Type 88, Type 92, and Type 95.

By the way, there are more cutting-edge fighters, such as the Type 97.

The problem is that even the naval version is completely popular, and the army version is not popular, and the actual performance is not as good as the 96 ship battle.

The Japanese Army Aviation Type 97 fighter, developed by Nakajima Aircraft Company, has a wingspan of 11.31 meters, a total length of 7.53 meters, an engine power of 610 horsepower, a crew of 1 person, an empty weight of 1.1 tons, can carry 0.7 tons of ammunition and oil, a theoretical maximum speed of 460 kilometers per hour, a theoretical ceiling of 10,000 meters, a theoretical range of 800 kilometers, equipped with two 7.7 mm machine guns, can carry four 25 kg bombs, or two 133 liter auxiliary fuel tanks, and the comprehensive performance is indeed worrying.

Touching the information of the Flying Bear fighter, Horikoshi Jiro's face sank like water, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Nangumo's ghost screams.

He said with some concern, "Although the Leopard fighter is also very powerful, compared with the 96 ship battle, it is only between the best, and this heavy fighter is what really needs attention, it is an improved version of the BF-110 fighter."

"It may be a bit cumbersome for air combat, but for bombers-".

"It's like a nemesis."

Yamamoto Fifty-six slowly took over the topic.

He is a master of Japan's air force, and he naturally knows the current situation of aircraft in various countries, "The German BF-110 fighter is known as an invincible fighter, and it is also known as an all-round fighter, and it is not surprising that China wants to introduce it."

"However, the heavy fighter is a bit bulky after all."

"When it fights with light fighters in the air, it will eventually suffer some losses, and the German army intends to use a mixture of light and heavy fighters, so as to make use of its strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use BF-109 fighters to escort it, and BF110 fighters to serve as a firepower output platform."

"Therefore, this type of fighter may not be very good when dealing with light fighters, but it is accurate to deal with all kinds of bombers, because no matter how thick the armor of the aircraft is, it is a result when it meets it - death."

Nagumo Zhongyi is not really stupid, and quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this fighter, like a few treasures, talking about everything.

The guy's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a clever plan.

He said with a sinister smile, "We can appeal to the international community to prohibit the Huaxia government from using this type of fighter, because it will cause a humanitarian crisis in the Far East, and if Huaxia dares to ignore it, our Imperial Japanese Army will carry out a military attack on the passenger plane of Huaxia United Airlines."

"When the time comes, hum, it's up to who can't afford to be hurt."

In the face of such a despicable trick, Yamamoto Fifty-six looked indifferent.

Horikoshi Jiro glanced at Nagumo, and said with some reproach, "Your Excellency Nagumo, you are a noble imperial Chinese family, such a despicable thing, how can a nobleman like you do, not to mention that you are saying this now, it is clear that you want to harm His Excellency Yamamoto to be unjust, and some things should be handed over to the red deer to do."

"Nani? To give such a feat to the red deer of the army? ”

Nagumo Zhongyi didn't understand at all, and said with some resentment, "If they hadn't made things wantonly, how could there be a Sino-Japanese war."

Yamamoto Fifty-six's face darkened, and he scolded in a deep voice, "Yaga, you have nonsense."

"The imperial country is an island country, the domestic economy has been very sluggish in recent years, and our combined fleet is even more difficult, if it were not for the army to launch the Manchurian Incident and occupy the northeast region of China, I am afraid that all kinds of ships have already been withdrawn, where is there the world's third combined fleet."

"Nani, the Combined Fleet is the cornerstone of the Imperial Kingdom, and if someone dares to attack it, aren't they afraid that the heavens will punish the country? By the way, how can I not know such a secret and how it is so different from what is advertised outside? ”

Nagumo Zhongyi became Mr. Question, and asked again and again like a primary school student.

Yamamoto Fifty-six was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and ignored Lieutenant General Nagumo at all.

It was still Horikoshi Jiro who was sensible, pulled Nagumo Tadaichi, and whispered in his ear, "The people who proposed to do this are already dead."

"Who is it?"

"Don't ask, they are all bigwigs in the military and political circles, and they may die now, but their subordinates are still there."

"Don't worry about it, please."

Nan Yunzhong was speechless for a while, and even a little excited.

He is not mentally retarded, Japan in the thirties was simply an era of demons dancing wildly, even the prime minister and the cabinet were the targets of "heavenly punishment of national thieves", and all kinds of assassinations or murders also occurred from time to time.

The "226 Incident" in 1936 set a new record, and even the Japanese emperor had to take refuge on a warship.

Therefore, in Japan's military and political circles, you must first master a stunt, that is, "ventriloquism", to put it simply, it is the big guy who has something on his mind, and he is unwilling to say it directly, so he will let his subordinates do it through the way of knocking on the side, if the subordinates can't understand it, it is definitely "no bright future".

General Yamamoto, for example, likes to be silent.

When he thought about it thoroughly, he sorted out the information of the Huaxia fighter, let Horikoshi Jiro take it all away, and before leaving, he was still on the shoulder of this guy, and patted it lightly, which roughly means, "Horikoshi-kun, the matter of the fighter, please."

Jiro Horikoshi immediately bowed and returned the salute, and replied with sincere fear, "Your Excellency Yamamoto, the contemptible people will go all out to develop a new fighter as soon as possible, raise the prestige of our country, and His Majesty the Emperor will carry it."

As for the bad ideas that Lieutenant General Nagumo came up with, they will not be wasted.

Instead, let a small staff officer or clerk record them one by one and send them to the Admiralty or the War Department for the record.

It's just that the proposer has become a small staff officer, such as the one who has just been beaten to the point of bleeding, because this guy wants to be promoted and make a fortune so much, he actually came up with such a despicable conspiracy, which is really insulting to the spirit of bushido, and was severely reprimanded by Lieutenant General Nagumo.

Isn't it despicable to use fighter jets to fight civil aviation?

Yes, it's very despicable, even the Japanese themselves know it.

But the Imperial Japanese Army preferred victory, and only by being mean enough did they show their extraordinary intelligence, prove that they were not simple-minded and well-limbed fools, and most importantly, meanness could lead to victory.

Admiral Yamamoto and others are well aware of the essence of "the victor is not condemned."

What's more, these are all done by small staff officers who are in a hurry, they are generals, but they are very upright people, and they resolutely resist things that insult the reputation of the empire, and they are still imperial nobles with graceful demeanor.

After the minutes of this meeting were sent to the Cabinet, they were quickly and inexplicably lost.

Then, very accidentally, very unfortunately, appeared in front of the red deer.

These red deer, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately obtained the treasure, and soon sent a note to Lao Chiang and others in Nanjing through the mouthpiece of the War Department.

The Japanese army claimed that the Chinese heavy fighters were illegal fighters and the source of the humanitarian crisis, and suggested that they should suspend the use of each other, and that they should first hand over to Britain, Japan, the United States, France, and other countries for "security inspections" to prove that there was no problem before they could be used on the battlefield.
