Chapter 603: The Asian Decisive Battle III

Liu Cuigang looked at Xue Yue with some confusion and asked, "General, is this a punishment that is unfavorable to us in this battle?" ”

Xue Yue immediately shook his head and said: "No, you think too much, this time all the new fighters that rushed south to participate in the war have been equipped with pilots, and they have been trained for nearly a year." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

You have a lot more experience piloting the new fighter than you do.

However, there will definitely be battle losses in the battle, so I will transfer you to Nanjing to participate in the pilot training of the new fighters, and you will only leave temporarily, and you will be transferred back once the front-line war is urgent and there is an urgent shortage of pilots.

Therefore, you must urgently use the shameful "pig" "pig" "island" "small" to training, and the sooner you become familiar with and master the flight and combat skills of the new fighters, the sooner you will be able to return to the battlefield.

Competing with the U.S. Air Force is a shame, understand? ”

"Yes, I understand." Liu Cuigang was relieved, and after saluting, he turned around and ran towards the pilots.

…………

At the same time that the Pacific Fleet of the Anglo-American coalition was approaching the first island chain where the Chinese troops were stationed from two directions.

Zhang Xinghan also urgently dispatched an armored group army from various theaters, totaling more than 1,000 tanks and combat vehicles, as well as two heavy artillery brigades, to gallop out of the country and enter Burma through the newly completed Yunnan-Burma Highway in order to strengthen the strength of the Southwest Expeditionary Force in Southeast Asia.

Prepare to meet the British, American, French, Dutch and other armies that are massively massing in Indochina.

Speaking of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, it can be regarded as a miracle during the modern war, but it is different from the original historical Yunnan-Burma Highway.

Its cultivation is no longer paved with the sweat and blood of countless Chinese people in the southwest, but comes from the 60,000 or 70,000 American prisoners who surrendered to the Chinese army on the battlefield in Burma and more than 100,000 prisoners of Britain, the United States, France and other countries in Burma, Vietnam and other countries.

After more than half a year of non-stop repairs.

Moreover, in order to more conveniently transport various strategic materials to the Southwest Expeditionary Force and ensure the smooth flow of logistics routes, this highway is nearly 1,000 miles longer than before.

It is directly connected to Kunming in China and directly from Mandalay to Yangon in Myanmar.

The Chinese army's logistical supply convoys can send large quantities of supplies from Kunming directly to the front line of the Burmese Expeditionary Force.

With such a large amount of work, the manpower consumed can be imagined.

So. According to the survey and statistics of experts and professors in the field of history in later generations, in order to build this strategic transportation hub that was extremely important for Southeast Asia at that time.

Of the more than 200,000 British, American, Burmese, and Vietnamese prisoners and the more than 100,000 indigenous laborers in northern Burma, 40 percent died of disease and exhaustion.

Therefore, this strategic transportation artery, which was extremely important in the Republic of China period, was also called a strategic passage paved with white bones by later historians.

War clouds were gathering over the Southeast Asian peninsula, but the northeast and northwest were temporarily calm with the recapture of Sakhalin by the Nationalist army.

In fact, this was only a superficial phenomenon, and at the same time as the jet fighter group was transferred south to participate in the war, Zhang Xinghan secretly ordered Du Ting to transfer the main force of the Northeast Frontier Army to the area around Lake Berga through the Trans-Siberian Railway.

After joining up with the main forces of the Northwest Frontier Army at the beginning of the year, he immediately secretly advanced along the railway to the southwest.

Once in Novosibirsk, bypass the Tien Shan and Altai Mountains. Directly attack the last strategic rear of the Soviet army, a large granary, a large industrial base.

After Kyiv and other heavy industrial areas were captured by the Germans, the Kazakhstan region in Central Asia has become the last strategic rear of the Soviet army.

It is also the lifeblood of the Soviet Union, and Zhang Xinghan's move is absolutely fatal to the precarious Soviet Union.

This is also part of Zhang Xinghan's comprehensive strategic plan.

Although most of the main forces of the Soviet army have been transferred to the Volga valley to resist the German attack.

However, due to the strategic location in Central Asia, the Soviets deployed millions of troops here to defend their last strategic rear.

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Xinghan transferred the most elite of his two frontier armies, the northeast and northwest, and all the millions of main elites to participate in the war.

Two days later, the US military was encouraged by the victory in the last air battle and made some careful preparations. Three aircraft carrier battle groups were dispatched, accompanied by more than 200 P-51 Mustang fighters, and more than 100 submarines finally launched the first large-scale attack on the main island of Taiwan.

Shen Honglie, commander of the Chinese Navy, and Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the border defense forces stationed in Taiwan, formed a joint command headquarters and commanded the Navy's 2nd and 3rd fleets and two flying regiments, consisting of 300 ME-262 jet fighters, which had just arrived on the main island of Taiwan yesterday, to immediately meet the battle.

The Twin Engines landed the largest naval and air battle in human history.

The scale of the battle between the Nationalist army and the Japanese Combined Navy fleet in the Tsushima Strait three years ago is far larger.

The two sides invested more than 1,000 submarines and warships, including nearly 100 warships of more than 10,000 tons, including aircraft carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers.

In addition, there are more than a thousand combat aircraft of various types.

Almost the entire South China Sea has turned into a rumbling of artillery. A battlefield in flames.

Countless fighters from both sides shuttled back and forth in the sky, and launched a fierce battle to the death.

As the last pinnacle of piston fighters, the Mustang fighter is not far behind some of the performance of jet fighters.

So, the crucial aerial decisive battle was at a fever pitch from the start.

The most surprising thing should be the US military, which has just won a major victory that has never been achieved.

The Mustang fighter, which could already sweep away the most advanced fighters of the Chinese army, seemed to be out of order.

It is inseparable from the fact that this Chinese fighter plane, which suddenly arrived in equal numbers, was killed. For a while, it fell into a stalemate.

And, as the battle progressed, the slight difference in performance between the two sides began to manifest itself. In addition, the pilots that Zhang Xinghan used to equip jet fighters were the most experienced veterans selected from various units of the Air Force.

After countless battles against Japan and the Soviet Union, their combat experience, especially in air combat, was far stronger than that of the US pilots at this time.

Therefore, after a few minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the P-51 Mustang fighters of the US military showed large battle losses, and three Mustang fighters were shot down by the ME-262 in a row.

This was extremely shocking to the US military, especially the US pilots who were immersed in the scene, many of whom had just finished abusing the Zero fighter jets two days ago.

Soon, a U.S. military pilot discovered an astonishing anomaly and exclaimed on the radio

"Even, damn it, these planes don't seem to be the Zero, are they another new type of aircraft for the Chinese army?" ”

His voice was like a magic spell in the minds of the American pilots who were fighting fiercely, and their belief in victory was even more shaken in their hearts, which they had been unable to fight for a long time.

This unfavorable factor has caused the US military fighters, which had already fallen into a passive situation, to fall into an even more severe crisis.

In just five minutes, in the rain of machine shells like locusts, four more Mustang fighters were killed in the air, turning into brilliant and eye-catching fireworks, and all kinds of parts and components were shot into the sky along with the stumps and broken arms of the US pilots, and they fell into the vast sea.

The fierce battle on the sea was even more spectacular, with hundreds of large and small warships of the British and American coalition forming a dense and huge firepower covering network, pouring steel shells at the warship group of the Chinese Navy fleet at a rate of tens of thousands of tons per minute.

The sea was full of earth-shattering and violent explosions, and everywhere there were waves that were set off by the blast wave of the explosion for ten meters or even tens of meters.

Tens of thousands of Chinese Navy athletes were not afraid and manipulated the warships to fight back.

As the world's largest tonnage battleship, the Huo Qu Sick was even more heroic, leading other warships to engage in a tragic exchange of fire with the British and American allied warship groups.

Although a few Chinese warships were shot, none of them abandoned their ships and escaped, and they all made up their minds to live and die with the warships, and fired the last shells at the enemy ships before they sank.

With their lives and blood, they will fulfill their duty and mission of defending China's maritime frontiers.

The underwater battlefield is no less intense than the surface of the water, and hundreds of XXI submarines are not adopting the previous hit-and-run tactics this time.

Because of the inferiority of their own surface ships, they formed a battle formation and engaged in a bloody battle with the destroyer groups and submarine forces of the US army.

Fortunately, the XXI submarine is ahead of the US submarine in terms of performance data, and the Chinese submarine sailors have accumulated extremely rich combat experience and sailing experience after nearly three years of underwater navigation.

The exchange ratio with the U.S. military is basically maintained at one to five or more.

MacArthur, the front-line commander of the US military, was also on a US aircraft carrier at this moment, anxiously and expectantly awaiting the course and outcome of this decisive battle of great significance.

Suddenly, a communications adjutant rushed up behind him, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Air Force is in a hurry. ”

"What?" Macas was shocked when he heard this, turned around in disbelief, and asked, "What did you say?" The Air Force is in a hurry? How is this possible? ”

"General, the commander of the Air Force reported that the Chinese Air Force was not flying a Zero fighter, but a new fighter that had never been seen before, and its flight speed, turning radius firepower and defensive capability were superior to our Mustang fighters.

Over the past half hour, the Air Force has lost more than two dozen Mustang fighters, without support.

The gap between them and the Chinese fighter group will widen, and eventually a total rout will inevitably occur. Said the adjutant of communications.

"A new type of aircraft that has never been seen before? Not zero? MacArthur was horrified, but he didn't have time to think about what was going on.

When the decisive battle was in full swing, he had to react, so he hurriedly said to the communications adjutant: "Immediately send a telegram to the Luzon Air Base, and order all the fighters in the base to take off immediately to join the battle!" ”

"It's the general!" The communications adjutant immediately stepped forward and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
