Chapter 1066: War Mobilization Order (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

I have to say that Major General Shimada's luck this time was really too bad, although Wang Zhengyang commanded the main force of the aviation unit of the Saibei Corps, but there were only more than 40 fighters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and his aviation unit alone has more than 50 fighters, not counting the large number of bombers and transport aircraft.

If it had been left in peacetime, Major General Shimada would really have wished that the air force of the Saibei Corps would have a decisive battle with him. But now when he saw the group of Chinese fighters, Rear Admiral Shimada's face turned green.

At this time, Major General Shimada was frightened, he regretted that when he was about to retreat, he ordered all the fighters to shoot out all the ammunition, originally he was to make up for the last shot of Ma Zheng's department.

Judging from the traces of the final battle, Major General Shimada judged that the chances of Ma Zheng and his guards surviving were very small. As an experienced commander, Major General Shimada was well aware of how thoroughly the blow of the aviation forces was.

Although the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's guard troops was even stronger than they imagined, just like their field troops, they shot down more than fifty Imperial fighters in just one hour of battle. Counting the loss of transport aircraft, the number of fighters lost by the front in this battle reached a terrifying 80 aircraft, which is equivalent to two flying wings.

But no matter how powerful they are, they are all ordinary soldiers, not gods, and they still can't escape the fate of destruction. Under the carpet bombardment, even if Oda Nobunaga was reborn, it was impossible to be alive, and it turned out that there was no longer gunfire on the enemy's position until the end of the battle.

So, in fact, the last round of bombing was no longer necessary, and there was almost no resistance on the Chinese positions. However, in order to deal a more thorough blow to Ma Zheng, Major General Shimada still ordered the air force to shoot out the last bit of ammunition on the plane.

Today, the people of Tianjin Municipality were able to open their eyes to the first time that an air battle was conducted over Tianjin. As soon as the air raid sirens were sounded, people put down their work and rushed to the bomb shelters inside and outside the city. On the one hand, it was indeed afraid of the bombing of Japanese planes, and on the other hand, this was also requested by the leaders of the Northern Saibei Corps.

In order to reduce the casualties of the citizens, since the last time Ma Zheng's troops captured Tianjin, they ordered people to build many air-raid shelters for refuge outside the city. For this reason, one or two such air defense drills are organized every little time, so the people are used to it.

Although this is very frustrating, the masses of the people in this era have such a consciousness, and they all know that it is for their own good to hold air defense drills, after all, China is still far behind the Japanese army in terms of air force.

Japan's annual production of thousands of planes is not comparable to China's, so the people have developed antibodies, as soon as the air raid siren sounds, everyone immediately rushes to the bomb shelter, and the security of the city is immediately taken over by the troops.

However, this time it was obviously different, not long after the people fled into the bomb shelter, there was a burst of cheers from the soldiers outside, and then someone shouted, "Look, it's our Chinese plane and the little Japanese plane fighting."

In these years, duels between armies are common even for ordinary people, but battles between air forces are not common, especially in northern cities like Tianjin. It has always been the Japanese fighters showing off their might here, and they have never seen Chinese planes coming, and the only time was that Ma Zheng's department had a bomber group come before the raid on Tianjin some time ago.

Because it is rare, many citizens have run out of the bomb shelter and raised their heads to watch the air battle.

"Look.... See.... Look, it's falling....."

"yes, it's really falling, I don't know if it's from Little Japan or ours, take a look...."

"It's the sun flag drawn, it's Japanese, folks, little Japan's plane has been shot down...."

"Roaring ......"

"Well done!"

"Beat him up bitch!"

......

This was just the beginning, and from that moment on, the sky in Tianjin was like boiling water, completely boiling. Fighter planes dragging billowing smoke or huge balls of fire were shot down continuously, and some even disintegrated in the air.

Although the vast majority of the planes could not see the emblems on their bodies, this could not hide the cheers of the people in Tianjin. In their hearts, it is a miracle that our Chinese air warriors can fight in the sky with little Japan for so long, and they do not have too high requirements for victory or defeat.

The victory is certainly worth celebrating, and it is what people look forward to, but they will not blame the fighters for the defeat, because they have done a very satisfactory job.

......

On November 5, 1942, the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's largest media outlet, published a headline titled "Yamato Eagle Folds Wings Kitachina."

In this news, for the first time, the Japanese mainstream media unabashedly admitted a major defeat in the battle to intercept Ma Zheng. The evaluation of the Japanese high-level in this battle is very pertinent, that is, the responsibility for this battle cannot be borne by Okamura Ninji, and of course it cannot be borne by other front-line commanders.

The defeat in this battle was entirely due to the fact that Ma Zheng, the devil general of China, was too cunning, and this person was not a commander at all, but a cunning fox.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is a high-level Japanese high-level exoneration of Okamura Ningji and the entire China sending troops, but they also think that this can better illustrate the strength of Ma Zheng's department from the side.

In this news, the Japanese army published the course of the battle in detail, and did not hide the real losses of the battle, and it was from this news that Ma Zheng figured out that his air force not only severely damaged a detachment of the Japanese Combined Fleet, causing three 4,500-ton cruisers and one 3,800-ton destroyer to sink to the bottom of the sea, and another 3 large supply ships ran aground on the beach, in addition to dozens of various merchant ships were affected.

The most serious thing is that the coastal defense forces of Qingdao Port suffered heavy losses in this bombardment, and the port facilities of Qingdao Port, which were not too perfect, were once again completely destroyed, and the Japanese army may have to make a lot of effort to put them into use again.

In addition, the aviation unit of the Japanese North China Front also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and 139 aircraft of various types were shot down. Among them, 77 were shot down by Ma Zheng's guard units, and 62 fighters were shot down by the aviation units of the Northern Saibei Corps, and the heavy losses were far beyond the scope of the Japanese high-brass.

If it is said that the loss of so many planes in the battle with the Nationalist Government in a head-on battle, regardless of whether the Japanese army can afford it or not, at least it is emotionally acceptable, after all, the performance of the Chinese Air Force athletes since the beginning of the war is indeed amazing.

However, the loss to the Eighth Route Army, which has always been known for its poor weaponry and equipment, and such heavy losses in such a battle that was not a battle, was something that Okamura Ninji and the Japanese military top brass never thought of, and it was unacceptable.

Compared to the losses of the Air Force and Navy, a mere paratrooper wing and a special operations team that were not too much taken into account were too insignificant. Therefore, on the whole, the Japanese army's interception and killing of Ma Zheng this time can be described as lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, a typical loss of his wife and his soldiers.

With such a heavy loss, even if it is a real large-scale battle full of gold, it is enough, and it is not necessarily defeated, let alone paid such a heavy price.

After this news was published, there was an uproar throughout Japan. In the perception of ordinary Japanese people, the Great Japanese Empire was invincible, and the Imperial Army was the absolute hegemon in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and even the entire Pacific region.

Not long ago, the invincible Imperial Army had beaten the Chinese government army in Burma to the point that its nose and face were swollen, and several regular infantry divisions were beaten and discarded. Why was he suddenly beaten like this by a little-known general, the uncle was unbearable, and the aunt couldn't bear it, and suddenly the roar of the crusade against Ma Zheng in Japan was one by one.

Speaking of which, I have to explain that although Ma Zheng is now famous in China, he is a national hero of a generation of anti-Japanese generals, and the entire Japanese military department and high-level people highly value him.

But this is only limited to the Japanese military circles, and Ma Zheng's name in Japan is actually not much louder than others, and it is not even as famous as several generals of the Nationalist Government.

It's not that the Japanese are arrogant and look down on Ma Zheng, but because the political atmosphere in Japan is like this. Under the absolute control of militarism, Japan has a very strict control over public opinion, and any bad news must be verified before it can be released to the outside world.

The most direct result of this is that the vast majority of the news media and even government officials are all preaching how powerful the Imperial Japanese Empire is, how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army is, and how invincible it is, and rarely reports negative news. As a result, the people in Japan do not know much about the actual situation on the battlefield, and they are completely living in a dream.

Perhaps this is exactly what the Japanese top brass wants to see, when the people of the whole country are shouting against Ma Zheng's department, the Japanese government took the opportunity to announce an order on the third national mobilization order, and the scope of this national mobilization order is far from being comparable to that of the previous two war mobilization orders.

The latest regulations of the Japanese Government stipulate that all men and women over the age of 15 must undergo military training, and all men over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 must be conscripted into the army, and no one must escape military service for any reason.

In addition, in view of the extremely difficult period of the war in the Empire, from December 1, 1942, all citizens within the Empire mainland were rationed......

There are a total of 15 articles in this national war mobilization order, covering all aspects of Japan's political, economic, cultural, and national life, and it can be summed up that Japan must concentrate all its national strength and win this war, which is still very promising in their view.
