At noon on the day shortly after the end of the Inchon air battle, Song Biao received a summary report on the Inchon air battle from the Central Military Headquarters, and Pan Zhaoqin, chief of staff of the Air Force, was personally responsible for reporting to the emperor and explaining the results of the battle.

During the 20-day air battle, 352 fighters of the Imperial Air Force were destroyed or severely damaged, and about half of the data were destroyed and severely damaged, while the total losses of the Army Air Force were about 740 planes, with the absolute majority being destroyed.

In general, the mutual loss rate is acceptable.

After Song Biao read all the battle reports and summaries, he asked Pan Zhaoqin, who was standing upright in front of him, with his head bowed: "Is there any falsification of the data of the Incheon air battle? ”

Pan Zhaoqin immediately replied: "The total number of planes sent into the battlefield by our army does not exceed 3,000, so where can the army shoot down 3,700 fighters of our army?" Our army's report has been confirmed again and again, and it is basically certain that the data is closest to the real situation, and the lower-ranking officers of the army have increased our army's battle losses tenfold in their reports. ”

Song Biao estimates that this is also the case, many people say that the Communist Army has a lot of numbers in the War of Resistance, or believe that the army is better, that is really, the lower officers of the army toss the number game is also very powerful, especially the navy, during the Pacific War, the number of US aircraft carriers sunk by the Navy was basically twice the total number of aircraft carriers in the United States at that time, and the base camp was also a headache for this, every time the battle was completed, it was a big victory, and I always thought that the US Navy was almost completely wiped out, but after another war, I found that the US army still had many aircraft carriers.

He asked the chamberlain to give Pan Zhaoqin a seat, and waited for Pan Zhaoqin to sit down before asking: "You are the first generation ace pilot of our Imperial Air Force, with rich experience, you come to analyze the Inchon air battle and estimate the level of this air force?" ”

Pan Zhaoqin's group of people actually have the qualifications and ability to be promoted to generals, what is missing is just an opportunity, after the Battle of Sanduao, the Navy promoted three admirals in one go, the Incheon air battle is over, Pan Zhaoqin will also be promoted to air force general, plus Admiral Shu Fangde, who has been demobilized before, the Air Force has two generals.

As chief of staff of the Air Force of the Central Military Department, Pan Zhaoqin was also the commander-in-chief of the Inchon Air Battle, during which he personally flew to Pyongyang Air Base to direct operations.

The Incheon Air Campaign was also an excellent opportunity for the empire to draw the strategic focus of the empire to the air force, and during this time, the headquarters of the Imperial Northeast Defense Force had been moved to Pyongyang, and the number of troops transferred to North Korea had surged to 300,000, much faster than the increase in the number of troops in the country.

First of all, there are three railway passages from the northeast to North Korea, Dandong, Shuozhou, and Yanbian, and there are enough merchant ships and troop carriers from the northeast, north China, and Shandong to North Korea, and in terms of air force and civil aviation, the empire has also dispatched nearly 3,000 large and medium-sized transport planes.

According to the current transportation capacity, the empire had the strength to launch a full-scale offensive in Korea before November, and although it had been secretly preparing for a long time, it was already at a disadvantage in the deployment of troops and supplies.

The gap in national strength is still obvious.

Of course, the empire has actually been secretly preparing for a period of time, but it is not so obvious, and there are some tasks that do not need to be prepared temporarily, for example, the strategic material reserve work in the northeast has always been adhered to, and the grain hoarded by the national grain reserve in the northeast is enough to meet the military food needs of the entire war.

Under such a general premise, the pressure on Pan Zhaoqin, as one of the commanders of the front, is not very great.

After he sat down in front of the emperor, he also thought about it for a while before he replied to the emperor very seriously: "Judging from the entire process and results of the Incheon air battle, the level of this fighter is still not bad, which is beyond our past estimates, and in addition, the quality of their pilots is also relatively high, and we do not have an absolute advantage in these two aspects. There are many problems in the aviation industry, and the two biggest problems are the manufacturing level of the engine and the production capacity of the whole machine, and these two limitations are very fatal. From the current point of view, in the case of poor engine manufacturing level, Yueben has indeed put a lot of thought into the design of the aircraft, and there are many new ideas worth learning from. In order to achieve the highest combat efficiency, the aircraft was designed to reduce the weight as much as possible, and the empty weight of our J-4 Lightning fighter was 3,357 kilograms, while the empty weight of the 97 Marine War was only about 1,100 kilograms. Thanks to China's solid foundation in the field of aero engines, our army's fighter planes are basically developing in the direction of heavier and heavy, characterized by being solid and durable; taking lightning as an example, even if they are hit many times by the 97 land battle in the air battle, they may still survive, and the 97 land battle usually crashes as long as it is hit once. ”

Song Biao continued to ask Pan Zhaoqin: "What are you going to do later?" ”

Pan Zhaoqin said: "Summing up the tactical experience, quickly adjust the conventional combat tactics, at present, the lightning high-altitude high-speed and high-dive surname can be far better than the opponent's Jiuqi, so there should not be too much entanglement with the opponent, high-altitude dive, cluster attack, to the majority of the large-scale engagement, regardless of whether the opponent is defeated, after a cluster dive attack, then withdraw and leave, do not entangle with the ninety-seven land battle at medium and low altitudes, if it is determined that it needs to be fought at medium and low altitudes, there should be J-3 series of fighters assisted, Or directly use the J-3 series fighters as the main force to deal with the 97th land battle of the Yue Army, while the Blitzkrieg group serves as a surprise force, and suddenly inserts into the situation at high speed in the process of the two sides fighting. ”

After a slight pause, he added: "The main fighters of the Air Force in service of our army have three series: J-3, 4, and 5, and the overall surname is very superior, which determines that our army has more tactical countermeasures in the air battle with the Chinese army, and the Chinese army currently has only one kind of land warfare, and its combat surname can be relatively single, and only the medium and low altitude hovering surname can have a unique advantage, and the tactics are relatively simple, and there are very few ways to deal with the changes in our army's tactics." In addition, our army has more fighters, pilots, and stronger national industrial production capacity than the Chinese army, and in the long run, our army will definitely be able to firmly control air supremacy in this war. ”

Song Biao was still very satisfied, and asked Pan Zhaoqin: "The improved model of the lightning fighter should be able to be put into service, right?" Is there a need for improvements to surnames? ”

Pan Zhaoqin said: "Back to Your Majesty, J-402 \ 404 two new improved models will be in service in the second half of the year, 404 is the model of our Air Force, 402 is the Navy carrier-based aircraft model, this level of new models in the engine power has increased to 2400 horsepower, after the use of 3-blade propellers, the engine conversion efficiency is higher, about 7% of the actual power increase effect, the weight has increased relatively, but such a horsepower increase will make the new model have a stronger climb rate and high-speed surname energy, consider complementary surnames, The Air Force has asked Jiangnan Fudao Company to produce Air Force fighters based on the J-303 carrier-based aircraft, which is currently tentatively numbered J-305. ”

Still after a slight pause, he asked Song Biao: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually thinks that the P-3 series of jet fighters can be allowed to be produced and put into service on a large scale at present, judging from the current trend, it is an inevitable trend for jet fighters to eliminate propeller fighters, rather than wasting a lot of financial resources and national resources on models that will inevitably be eliminated, it is better to take this opportunity to produce jet fighters on a large scale!" ”

Song Biao thought carefully for a while, and replied: "The enemy will always be stronger, it's not a bad thing to have reservations, but your proposal is not unreasonable, since you have such a request, then let the P-3 officially serve in the name of the J-6 fighter, nicknamed Phoenix." The specific production plan is determined according to the needs of the Air Force, but at this stage, I still do not think that it is really necessary for the P-3 to appear on the battlefield, because the level of the opponent has not yet threatened our Air Force, and even if it is to be used, it should be consciously chosen at a moment when the surname is decided. ”

Pan Zhaoqin was really relieved at the moment, as long as the P-3 fighter, which represented the highest level of the imperial aviation industry, officially joined the battle, for the Air Force, the war would actually be over.

The turbojet engine used in the P-3 is not something that can be produced and copied simply, it requires a higher level of industry and the development of materials science, and even if Ben starts to catch up with this trend now, it will take about six or seven years to catch up, and even ten years may not be successful, because the Empire's secret development and experiment in this field has already been more than ten years.

It took the empire 15 years to complete this huge historical leap, from the beginning of the secret project in 1923, to the emergence of the P-1 experimental fighter in 1933, to the emergence of the first-generation jet fighter P-2 in 1935, and finally to the maturity of the second-generation P-3 fighter in 1938.

Pan Zhaoqin is such a very simple attitude, he just said that I now have the P-3 series of fighters, in terms of cost, a P-3 is indeed equal to 4-5 J-4, but since there is a P-3, why do you want to manufacture J-4 on a large scale?

From a purely military point of view, this is obviously meaningless, because the P-3 can continue to serve for a long time no matter how much it is built in wartime, and it makes sense even if it is stored in storage, while the J-4 Lightning fighter, which was mass-produced during the war, is destined to disintegrate after the war, after all, it has no actual combat value.

As an emperor of a constitutional monarchy.

If it is not necessary, Song Biao does not need to restrict and violate the decisions of his subordinates, and there are some situations that need to be resolutely opposed, such as the idea of directly ending the war with nuclear weapons proposed by the military department, which must be resolutely opposed, and now is not the right time to use nuclear weapons, and in some cases, even if Song Biao does not agree with it, there is no need to oppose it.

In a constitutional monarchy, even if the emperor has the ultimate right to object, the less this power is used, the better.

Song Biao discussed with Pan Zhaoqin, for the time being, he would continue to use the J-3\4\5 series of fighters as the main body, but the J-6 fighters could be officially put into service on a large scale, temporarily controlled in the Kulen Military Region, and transferred to the Northeast and Korean battlefields at any time.

The runway length required for turbojet fighters is higher than that of the propeller series, and the flatness specifications are also higher, so in order for this series of fighters to enter the Korean battlefield, it is necessary to add new runways and maintenance stations at Pyongyang, Xincheon, and Wonsan air bases, and make adequate preparations.

Because of a series of problems, the current production capacity is basically about 40 aircraft per month, and can only be produced in Shenyang for the time being, and the next step is to expand to Taiyuan and Shanghai aviation industry base manufacturing, which is expected to achieve a production capacity of 120 aircraft per month early next year.

Such a scale is still acceptable, higher and more difficult, the two biggest limitations are the radar and the engine.

…… At the same time as the war in China began, the German-Polish alliance was constantly provoking the Soviet Union, demanding the redivision of territory in the name of Poland.

If a butterfly can whip its wings to set off an Atlantic storm, how much of a change will a dragon's breath cause in the whole world? The answer is that the scale is even more terrifying, and one person can change the world precisely because of the concatenation between countless events.

Despite the resistance to fascism, Polish President Artur. Martos also established the new Polish National Party in Poland with the help of Nazi Germany, which pursued similar fascist policies.

Such a change surprised Song Biao and Jiang Fangzhen, who thought they knew General Martos.

Because of many special factors, the empire has been particularly close military cooperation and assistance to Poland in the past 20 years, in the Polish military reform implemented by General Martos, the Polish army is basically a copy of the squadron in Eastern Europe, from the military system to military thinking, from equipment to tactical thinking, the Polish Defense Forces are learning from China.

The two countries are basically identical in the field of light weapons and equipment.

Not only that, but Poland has also purchased tanks and aircraft from China, making its military force extremely combat-valuable.

Generally speaking, the changes in the empire have greatly enhanced the military strength of Poland, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union, of which Poland and France have strengthened the most, and the Soviet Union and Germany have also had a lot of enhancement effects.

…… As the armies of both countries began to enter Korea on a large scale, the two sides quickly launched a fierce battle in the Kaesong area, Kaesong has been under Chinese control since 1911, the military defense arrangement here has been built for many years, and the defensive posture and level are extremely high, although it is not as much as the Maginot Line, but it is still very difficult for the army to break through the Kaesong Line.

After all, Cai Ye has not commanded this kind of large-scale war for many years, and after the start of the war, he has been tepid and slowly wants to find out the actual level of the Yue army, although there was a small-scale breakthrough battle in Seoul, but it is not enough to explain all the problems, and the Battle of Kaesong is the testing ground that Cai Ye wants.

At the suggestion of the Central Military Department and the emperor, Cai Yi chose to arrange for Lieutenant General Fu Zuoyi to be in charge of the Battle of Kaesong and serve as the commander of the First Army of the Northeast Defense Army, which was just right, because no one understood Fu Zuoyi's characteristics better than the emperor.

Fu Zuoyi served as a first-class chamberlain by the emperor's side for four years, often conducted military flag deduction with the emperor, and had a very high level of tactical planning, and was always one of the several new generals that the emperor admired the most.

In Kaesong, Fu Zuoyi actually had the strength to attack the Yue army, but he, like Cai Yi, also hoped to find out the characteristics of the Yue army in the positional warfare, after all, the Sino-Chinese Xinhai War broke out at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Yue army has developed for so many years, and the changes from the previous ones are relatively large, and the past experience cannot be copied.

After the Battle of Kaesong opened, the attack of the army was extremely fierce, although there was a lack of enough medium and heavy tanks that could break through the defensive line and fire network, but the soldiers were more brave than they were back then.

Fu Zuoyi seems to be the kind of typical Chinese [***] person who has a big voice and speaks straightforwardly, but in fact, he is also a very scheming person, strong on the outside and fine on the inside, and strict in training.

Like most of the middle and high-ranking generals of the empire, Fu Zuoyi also has an interest in studying history, and he has always been known for being proficient in the war history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the military department.

Unlike the mainstream officers within the CSKA who supported large-scale mechanization, Fu Zuoyi also had a very special feature in that he specialized in positional warfare, rather than mechanized warfare.

All these factors caused the Central Military Department to vote for Fu Zuoyi when electing the commander of the Battle of Kaesong.

Soon after the end of the Inchon Air Battle, the Battle of Kaesong began to attack Kaesong on a large scale, trying to open the first gate to attack Pyongyang and North Korea.

Fu Zuoyi's military rank is lieutenant general, which is the fastest among the graduates of the Central Military Academy of his year, and it is very appropriate for him to serve as the commander of the First Group Army of the Northeast National Defense Army with his rank, but his acting chief of staff is only an army colonel.

It's weird at that.

Fu Zuoyi was not very happy about this matter at first, although with his ability, there is no big problem with not having a chief of staff, even if a suitable chief of staff cannot be arranged for the time being, at least he should be at the level of a major general to serve as the acting chief of staff.

There are many elites in the Imperial Army, and there are countless middle-aged and young generals who are called military wizards, and there are really many first-class military ranks of major generals.

But this matter was arranged by the emperor himself, and Fu Zuoyi could only accept it.

This lieutenant colonel is called Su Bin, very young, only admitted to the Central Military Academy in 1926, after graduating in 1929, assigned to the Eighth Infantry Division, transferred to the Inner Court Staff Bureau in 1933 as a third-class staff officer, in 1937 as a second-class staff officer as the adjutant of General Jiang Yanxing, participated in the Spanish Civil War as a free coalition army, returned to China in April 1938, and served as the instructor of the 14th Infantry Division.

In any case, it must have been too unusual for a young officer in his early thirties to be suddenly assigned to an army group as acting chief of staff.

After all, Fu Zuoyi has a deep connection in the General Administration of the Inner Court, according to the news he heard, it should be that the emperor admires this Su Bin's talent very much, he has never dealt with Su Bin before, and after getting along for more than ten days, he does feel that this person is very smart, very agile, and indeed a rare talent.

It's rare to be able to become a colonel at the age of thirty-two in today's talented CSKA.

In the past few days, the offensive of the Japanese army has been extremely fierce, and the artillery fire has been incessant, and it has hardly stopped.

Even so, Fu Zuoyi still took Su Bin and several other staff officers to the front line to inspect without risk, and on the 307 heights in the front of Kaesong, Fu Zuoyi could see the front-line fortifications of the Yue army at a glance.

In this area, the 22nd Infantry Division of the First Army held four important heights, connecting each other in a line, opening a four-kilometer-long defensive line to defend against the attack of the two divisions of the Japanese Army.

Fu Zuoyi's First Group Army currently has three infantry divisions, one light tank brigade, one engineering brigade, one baggage brigade, and an expanded artillery division.

Even if he asks him to attack his opponent, he is fearless.

It is said that the army will be organized into the East Asian Dispatch Army, with the rank of the general army, and the first and second front armies under its jurisdiction will each have four armies, each of which will have three divisions and three brigades, and the front army itself will also directly govern five to eight reading brigades, and the army aviation units will be under the direct command of the general army.

According to the plan of the army, the total number of troops will eventually reach 800,000, so as to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army in Korea, and according to the needs of the development of the war, the army may continue to send a front army into the Korean peninsula to increase the total strength to 1.2 million.

The military system of the Chinese Empire is different from that of the original one, and the group army usually has 5-7 divisions and 10 brigades directly under its jurisdiction, and there is no corps level in the middle, and the emphasis on operating on the scale of the Continental Army is conducive to the use of more troops and resources in the planning of the group army and the concentrated fighting of encirclement and annihilation.

Therefore, the commander of the army group of the empire was usually the commander of the front, directly commanding the operation on the front.

During the war, the overall establishment of each division was basically unchanged, but at the battalion level, it would be rapidly expanded, from the conventional three companies of each battalion to 7 to 10 companies, and the strength of the divisional level would be expanded to 5 to 60,000 troops, so that the total strength of each group army would increase to the limit of 350,000 men.

Among the army lieutenant generals of Fu Zuoyi's generation, he and Zhang Zizhong have the deepest qualifications, and the latter even participated in the Liberation Revolution and the Xinhai War.

In the initial design stage of the Kaesong defense line, Fu Zuoyi participated in this matter as a staff officer of the Central Military Department at that time, and he was still very familiar with it, and he was also very sure of this defense line.

The 2nd Army of the East Asian Dispatch Army, which was under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, the 16th Division, and the newly formed 37th Kumamoto Division, as well as two Reading Brigades, the 2nd Flying Division, and the 2nd Artillery Division.

After the end of the Xinhai War, the army summed up the entire war, and then had the greatest impact on the entire army was the artillery army that swept half of Korea at that time, for this reason, the army also formed its own artillery division before and after World War I, and now it is organized into four artillery divisions, representing the development of the army in the field of artillery, but limited by the army's funds, traditional concepts, and other problems, the change of the artillery thinking was not very successful, and the internal artillery, infantry, and armored factions were very fierce. Hold each other down.

In terms of artillery caliber and manufacture, because the development of 120mm\150mm caliber light howitzers was also not very smooth, the artillery division of this book took 105mm howitzers as the main body, and a small number of new Type 96 15 cm howitzers were equipped.

After the end of the Inchon Air Battle, in order to quickly break through the Kaesong defense line deployed by the Chinese army, the Yue army quickly transferred the main force of the army aviation unit to the Kaesong front.

Times are different.

From the Second World War to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it was the period when positional warfare developed to a peak level, and it was also the most glorious stage of modern positional warfare theory; starting from the Napoleonic era, the center of modern military warfare was to annihilate the enemy's military strength, rather than simply pursuing the occupation of land and cities.

In the same way, the essence of positional warfare is not to defend against the opponent's attack, but to use fortifications and defenses to effectively protect oneself and military strength, and the goal of all those pursuing positional warfare is to break down the opponent's self-protection, destroy the enemy's army, and destroy all the enemy's military forces.

The reason why the core of the modern army is tanks and not artillery is precisely because tanks can ignore the enemy's fortifications and force the opponent to engage in mobile warfare, rather than defensive warfare, and in mobile warfare, the role and value of tanks are far superior to artillery.

It was only on battlefields such as Korea and Vietnam that the value of tanks was greatly reduced, so during the Korean War, although the US military had completed the transformation of large-scale mechanization, when it arrived at the Korean battlefield, it could only return to the theoretical era of World War I to fight defensive warfare and mobile combat with infantry and artillery with the volunteers.

Even in this era of large-scale mechanized change, positional warfare was still one of the Imperial Army's housekeeping skills, and coupled with the special terrain and conditions of the Korean battlefield, it was indeed difficult for the army to break through the Imperial Army's defensive line.

At the front of the long and rugged position, the corpses of the soldiers were all over the field, and the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army were also mixed together, and the proximity of the colors of the autumn and winter uniforms of the two sides, as well as the fierceness of the battle and the frequency of white-knuckle battles, made the corpses of both sides difficult to identify.

The military uniform of the Showa five-year style of the army is mainly brown and green, and the army spring and autumn military uniform of the 20-year style of the imperial Shenwu is the main color of light brown green, the main color of the two is not much different, many people have always thought that the military uniform of the army is the kind of earthy yellow, in fact, this is deliberately ugly, the military uniform of the army has been relatively in the forefront of the world in the overall design, in addition to the style is more outdated, the color has been constantly improving, the so-called earthy yellow is the Meiji era of the 38 style and the 45-year style with red brown brown, from the ninth year of Taisho, Since 1920, the main color of the army's uniforms has changed from reddish brown to green brown brown.

By 1930, the fifth year of the Showa era, the new Showa five-year military uniform was launched, the main color changed to strong green brown brown, and the overall color was basically similar to the light brown-green of the Shenwu 20-year military road Spring and Autumn military uniform launched by the empire in the same year, but the shade of green was a problem, the former was greener, and the latter was closer to light brown.

On the battlefield, the main identification between the two sides can only be that the Chinese army soldiers have steel helmets, and the Chinese soldiers have adopted leggings, while the Chinese soldiers have buckled canvas leggings.

In addition, there is the difference in height, because the Northeast National Defense Force is mainly formed from North China, Northeast China, and Shandong, and the average height of soldiers is higher than 173mm, while the average height of the army is only 163mm, with an average difference of ten centimeters.

It is true that the soldiers and officers of the time were generally short, but most of them were short and strong, and their physical strength and endurance were good.

The battlefield is always brutal and bloody.

Because of the lack of tanks and armored vehicles that could effectively break through the defensive line, the commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Minoru Higashikunomiya, could only resort to the kind of human flesh tactics of the First World War, relying on more soldiers to penetrate the defense and artillery covering strikes in a vain attempt to break through the defensive line.

In order to make up for the lack of troops, Lieutenant General Minoru King Higashikunomiya also mobilized two Korean divisions to participate in the attack.

On the rugged battlefield, among the gray-yellow mountains, the corpses of the soldiers of the Ben and the ROK army were all over the mountains, and the smoke was billowing out, and under the light of the twilight, the whole battlefield looked even more rugged and bloody.

Just opposite Lieutenant General Fu Zuoyi, Lieutenant General Minoru Wang of Higashikurenomiya also personally led the staff officers to the front line to inspect, and the two were only three kilometers apart without knowing each other.

Armed with a saber and white gloves, Lieutenant General Minoru Higashikuremiya Minoru looked at the battlefield mercilessly, seemingly indifferent, his heart was full of all kinds of entanglements, and his status as an imperial family allowed him to read and think about the current situation with other generals.

He has a lot of ideas in his heart that are unique to the people and the military and political circles, but he can't say them, even as a member of the imperial family.

As a general who commands the front line, his experience at the moment is full of all kinds of helplessness, he has tried his best to transfer the 97 medium tank and the 95 light tank that are very good in his opinion to assist in the operation, but from the actual situation on the battlefield, the effect is really poor.

The anti-tank gun equipped with China is the PAK35/36, which was secretly jointly developed by China and Germany in the 30s, which can easily penetrate the frontal armor of these two tanks, especially the 95 light tank, and even the 12mm caliber Browning M2.2 heavy machine gun equipped with the first level of the Chinese army company at close range cannot resist it.

In the previous battle of Seoul, he heard that the heavy tanks owned by the other side were as flexible and fast as light chariots, and all the anti-tank guns in Ben had no effect on them, so that the defending troops were caught off guard and easily torn apart by dozens of such tanks.

This convinced Lieutenant General Minoru Higashikuremiya that even if Kaesong was reluctantly captured at all costs, there was very little chance of capturing Pyongyang if he wanted to fulfill the order of the military headquarters, not to mention that the aviation forces would not have any advantage.

He didn't believe the nonsense data of the two major generals of the Air Force Flying Division, Saburo Ando and Makino Masadi, how could it be that the army shot down thousands of opponents' fighters, while he only lost a few hundred.

Ridiculous.

Lieutenant General Minoru Higashikunomiya Minoruhiko, who likes to personally inspect the current situation on the battlefield, watched several 97 Marines of the 2nd Flying Division shot down in front of him yesterday.

In the past few days, he only knew that the planes of the Second Army had suffered very heavy losses, and even if Saburo Ando repeatedly emphasized that the losses of the Chinese Air Force were even worse, he did not believe it at all.

Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the Yue Army on the rugged battlefield in front of him, Lieutenant General Minoru of the Higashikure Palace looked up at the blue sky helplessly, silently closed his eyes, and asked himself in his heart, why did the Great Emperor fight such a stupid war?

Why does it have to be this way?

He is actually still very painful and entangled, but he still seems ruthless and indifferent.

Of course, he believed in the superiority of the Yamato nation and the supremacy of the emperor, and under the light of the emperor, the empire must be fearless, but this war was really stupid.

It's a pity that even royalty like him can't clearly express such an opinion.

(To be continued)
