P-51 Mustang, this is a model that is considered to be the most outstanding comprehensive performance among the main fighters of World War II in later evaluations. The aircraft has a more advanced air intake configuration and overall layout to greatly improve cooling and aerodynamic efficiency, and incorporates a laminar flow wing design to further enhance high-speed performance.

The subsequent modification of the British Merlin engine with a two-speed supercharger gave it a leap forward in high-altitude performance, and the North American company also modified each of the problems caused by the new engine, thus achieving a rare historical evaluation.

In fact, if the statistics are based on the US military aircraft at that time, the title of the best high-altitude fighter should be attributed to the P-47D Thunder fighter. And if this statistic is extended to the entire Allied system, the British Spitfire of the same period is also ahead of the P-51 in high-altitude performance of the same period.

However, the P-51 has its own irreplaceable advantages: it has achieved the best compromise between the P-47, which represents the defense of the Allied forces, and the Spitfire, which is the ultimate allied maneuverability of the Allied forces, while being able to supply the front line at a much lower production and logistical cost than the first two, and at the same time has the highest level of high-speed cruise performance and high-speed handling in the Allied forces.

Therefore, the comprehensive performance evaluation is far higher than the two mainstream fighters at that time. And his comprehensive performance gives him a great advantage.

Although the BF-109 is an extremely powerful fighter, its shortcomings are also significant. That is, the high-altitude maneuverability is far from enough, and its range is greatly shortened.

The early BF109 is a typical sacrifice of range and firepower, with a small empty weight in exchange for good combat performance, thanks to the excellent performance of the Mercedes-Benz engine, the high-altitude performance of the BF109 is very good, which is a great advantage for the British Spitfire in the early days.

Although the US fighter was larger than the BF109 in terms of air weight, the high-power two-stage pressurized air-cooled engine that the United States had at that time made their fighters almost invincible in the field of high-altitude combat.

Most of the time in the air battles between the two sides, the US military adopts the method of high-altitude dive and tail biting. In order to avoid being bitten by the tail, the BF109 had to pull itself to the same altitude as the US fighter to fight.

However, as long as the US fighters equipped with high-power two-stage supercharged air-cooled engines have an advantage in altitude, then the German fighters are almost helpless against them.

Under these circumstances, the German fighters began to suffer heavy losses for the first time since the beginning of the war. Correspondingly, in order to adapt to the situation on the battlefield, the German army also began to develop its own new fighters.

Historically, the BF109 has been equipped differently for a variety of tasks. Taking the G type as an example, the singular type is the fighting air superiority type, the even number is the ground type, and the AS ending is the high-altitude type...... And so on, these are model adjustments and design changes to cope with different battlefield conditions.

But after all, all the BF-109s were modified from the original BF-109. It is enough to explain from this point. The BF-109 is indeed an excellent fighter.

As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Defense Forces, Tu Menghu knew about this problem for a long time. That's why he vigorously introduced engines from the United States and localized them.

At the same time, a large number of fighters jointly developed with Germany have also undergone engine changes. He also increased the armor, firepower and armament of the Tiger Shark fighters of the current Wehrmacht Air Force.

Thanks to this, the Wehrmacht Air Force, which has an advantage in this regard. Only then was it able to suppress the Japanese fighters in all the air battles.

"We now need a powerful fighter that can at least compete with the Allied fighters in terms of performance at high altitudes......"

In Berlin, Germany, Air Force Commander Goering is reporting to Hitler. At this time, Goering was no longer the figure and appearance of the ace pilot he used to be, and years of alcoholism and lack of exercise made him grow vertically.

The consequence of this is that his figure is seriously out of shape. Now sweat was dripping down his chubby face, and he was stammering to report to Hitler.

No wonder he was so nervous, because now Hitler was angry that he could not make progress on the Soviet front. The telegrams of Bock and Rundstein were already on Hitler's desk.

How could this Führer, who was rampant in Europe and had a high pride in himself, tolerate his troops being kept out of the city of Moscow?! And the telegram mentions the problem of unfavorable air support. So Hitler summoned Goering to ask questions.

"When will our new fighters be able to come out?! Don't you know what is going on the battlefield right now?! Hitler pointed out the point of the problem, but saw that he looked at Goering with a gloomy face.

"We need fighters now! New Fighters Needed! Do you understand?! We need a lot of air power to contain those damned Soviets, Americans and British! Do you understand?! ”

"Hey! Hitler!! "Where does Goering dare to say more?! Now that Hitler's majesty is increasing day by day, not to mention that Goering, even the German royal family, needs to avoid it in many ways.

The earliest days. In the eyes of the German royal family, Hitler was a puppet of their regaining power. But as time passed, Hitler had developed his own roots and popularity, and it was only a few years since he gradually became equal to the German royal family and then avoided him.

If it weren't for Hitler's scruples about the German royal family, and at the same time he still had some respect for the German royal family in his heart, perhaps he would have started to clean up those pro-royal members in the army and government.

"Before the arrival of winter. I need to see our warplanes in the skies over Moscow. We cannot wait until winter to launch an offensive against Moscow. Hitler looked at Goering with a blank face and said, "You go to the front." If you haven't taken Moscow by then, you don't have to come back. ”

"Hey! Hitler!! Goering shuddered when he heard this, but he tried to straighten his body as much as he could.

Hitler glanced at Goering, who slowly exited the office. Looking at Goering's back, Hitler showed a look of disgust.

He hated the current Goering, the former ace pilot that he admired. But now this fat pig makes him disgusted. If it weren't for the fact that he did a very good job as an air commander, perhaps Hitler would have cleaned him up a long time ago.

Watching a fat pig dangling in front of you is not something pleasing to the eye.

"Boom! Rumble!! "Boom ......" Sugiyama was on his own position, watching the Wehrmacht artillery fire continue to rage on the Japanese position. Most of the Japanese had already withdrawn from that position. And the Wehrmacht did not seem to have any intention of pursuing it.

Just expel them from their positions, and then garrison them with peace of mind.

For the past few days, Sugiyama has almost turned his hair gray. The Wehrmacht troops were like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of the entire Japanese Expeditionary Force and Sugiyama Moto.

But oddly enough, this force did not launch a full-scale offensive against the Japanese. They only expelled the Japanese troops within a certain range. The Japanese were not allowed to jump out of their encirclement, and even intentionally or unintentionally drove the Japanese to densely populated areas far from Moscow but in the Soviet Union.

"Shimizu, the Wehrmacht is asking us to be their swords......" Looking at the Wehrmacht on the position, Sugiyama Yuan put down his binoculars and said to Shimizu, the chief of staff beside him.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is ......" Shimizu was a little confused about what Sugiyama Moto's words meant. Although he also saw that something was wrong with the Wehrmacht, he did not expect that they would be used as butcher knives.

"Qing Shui, didn't you notice?! They have no intention of destroying us at all, they are just expelling us. And then let us starve, let us be resupplied on the spot on the land of the Soviets......"

Sugiyama Moto's words made Shimizu Regularity immediately wake up. Think about it. That's true. The Wehrmacht clearly had an advantage in all aspects, but it did not lay a dead hand on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army has now lost its local supplies, and although Sugiyama has collected some supplies from Southeast Asia, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot be sustained for a long time.

In order for the army to continue fighting, the Japanese army had to choose to raise food on the spot. At this time, the Wehrmacht expelled them to the densely populated areas of the Soviet Union, and even intentionally or unintentionally drove the Japanese army to attack the villages and partisans.

In doing so, the Japanese army received a certain amount of provisions, and at the same time, it also caused certain casualties to the Japanese army. From the arrival of the Wehrmacht to the present, the Japanese army has lost more than 4,000 people.

Almost all of these people were lost in the process of obtaining supplies against the guerrillas and local villages. Actually killed by the Wehrmacht. Not even fifteen hundred.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?! Need to change our course?! Qing Shui was in a cold sweat, and he really couldn't think of what he should do now.

And in his opinion, since Sugiyama Yuan can think of this, then he must have a plan to deal with it. It's a pity. He didn't know that his commander, although he saw the Wehrmacht's intentions, was still helpless.

"Qing Shui...... What can we do first?! Sugiyama Yuan smiled bitterly and said to Qing Shui Rule: "They use Yangmou. Even if we saw their purpose, we still had to follow their plan......"

"If we dare to deviate from their planned marching area, then what awaits us will be encirclement and annihilation. And if we don't get supplies on the spot. Then we ourselves will starve to death without them attacking......"

Qing Shui Rule's eyelids jumped, and he was now full of sorrow. He couldn't have imagined. He was forced to obey his opponent's arrangement. If it was him, maybe he would have been angry and charged straight to his death.

It's a pity that he can't do that now. And Sugiyama Moto, he would never allow him to do so.

If they do, they will bury the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops they now have. With the way the Wehrmacht operated, not many Japanese troops would have survived.

Even if they survive, then what fate awaits them can be imagined.

Now is not the time for them to decide the direction based on their personal joy and anger, they need to consider the overall situation, and what they need to consider is the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers who follow them.

"We don't have a choice now, or we have only two choices: to be annihilated by them, or to wait to be annihilated by them......"

Sugiyama Moto smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, we can survive until the war." I am no longer optimistic about the cooperation between Germany and us......"

"It seems to me that the Allies have gradually established their superiority. As long as Moscow is not breached before this winter, our hopes of victory will be extremely slim......"

Shimizu didn't speak, he actually knew the subtext that Sugiyama wanted to express. These units of the Wehrmacht did not come to Moscow for decoration.

They may not necessarily not intervene in the Moscow battlefield, and if the Allies really reach a life-and-death situation, then the Wehrmacht will definitely support the Allied Moscow battlefield.

From Shimizu rules to Sugiyama Moto, they don't think. With both sides almost exhausted, the addition of the Wehrmacht would not change the tide of the battle. And at that time, the Wehrmacht could make a final decision on the Soviet battlefield.

When Germany's elite forces were lost to the Soviet Union, the war was over. Having lost its elite Germany, Japan having lost its elite, the Axis Powers' combat effectiveness had disappeared.

The rest is to clean up all the war zones. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese thought that the Italians, who had been beaten by the Ethiopian savages, could do anything.

At most, they could only follow the other two Axis powers to pick up leftovers, and it was too difficult for them to fight alone.

"Are they still encircling the Japanese army?! I don't believe that there are only more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers, and they will encircle and suppress them for so long! What the hell are they doing?! ”

Patton was irritable and constantly patted the table in the headquarters, and Eisenhower's face in front of him was not good-looking.

"Barton. They weren't encircling the Japanese army. They were waiting for an opportunity, and at the same time weakening the Soviet ......" Eisenhower saw this more clearly than Patton, but saw him say to Patton: "You and I have been in the Wehrmacht, and their combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. ”

"So I don't believe that just more than 100,000 Japanese troops can hold them back. The only explanation. It's that they're stalling for time. They are waiting for a lose-lose situation for us and the Germans......"

As he spoke, Eisenhower sneered, "Of course! They were also taking revenge on the Soviets, who were not less wreaking havoc in the Northeast in those days. And now they are not good at revenge, so they are taking revenge with the butcher's knife of the Japanese......"

Barton's face was very ugly, and he was silent for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Otherwise, let's force them to come!" Send a strongly worded telegram to the Commander-in-Chief of the Tigers......"

"Don't be impulsive! Barton, did you know that tiger on the first day?! Do you think he will listen to our telegram?! Eisenhower dismissed Patton's impulsive thoughts.

"The Tiger already thinks of us as his allies. At least now the training of infiltration combat units is on the agenda. And we have also obtained the drawings of the 'Tiger Roar', and Colt's factory has replied to the president. They will equip us with at least a thousand Tiger Roars before winter, and they will also distribute more than 50,000 rockets......"

When Barton heard this, his face finally looked better. So much bad news. Finally heard some good news.

"Ike, do we still have to maintain the intensity of the German attack?! Now our sacrifices are too great, and I want to try to reduce the ...... as much as possible."

After hesitating for a moment, Patton said to Eisenhower: "The casualty rate is too high now. It's even a bit shocking......"

"Then we have to fight!" Eisenhower almost roared at Patton: "Not only did we lose a lot, but the Germans lost a lot." This battle has been fought until now. It's all about the endurance between the two of us! Whoever can survive to the end will win the war! ”

"But our conditions were better than those of the Germans, and our Soviet allies were defending their homeland. So their chairman is letting the troops fight regardless of casualties, and in fact they have already borne the greatest casualties. If we slow down the pace of attack at this time, then the whole line may collapse......"

Barton was silent, in fact, he knew the current situation. It's just that the huge casualties on the battlefield made his heart palpitate. The U.S. military fought to reality, and the casualties reached almost a third.

The British army was replenished several times and is now barely able to hold on. The Soviet Union was the most ferocious, and they filled the battlefield almost regimentally and regimentally.

Barton even wondered if these people had taken human life as human life. Every time he saw the corpse of the Soviet army carried down from the battlefield, Patton would have heart palpitations.

The casualties are so heavy that perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as horrific.

"Patton, you need to know that our decision now is about the Allies, and about the fate of the entire United States of America! So, we must not take a step back! Eisenhower looked at the silent Barton and said, "Even if you die in battle, you must not retreat!" ”

"Even if you die in battle, don't retreat!"

Tokyo, Japan. Nowadays, people in Japan are panicking, and the whole of Tokyo is in a gloomy fog. None of the news came that was good, and the Germans were in a stalemate with the Allies on the battlefield in Moscow.

The units of the Japanese Expeditionary Force, after converging, were blocked by the Wehrmacht Expeditionary Force units, and were now driven to the heart of the Soviet Union, farther and farther away from the battlefield of Moscow.

King Hiroshi Fushimi was officially dismissed, and the Japanese Navy was extensively reorganized. More than half of the senior admirals of the Navy were removed from their posts or put into reserve. Isoroku Yamamoto, former Japanese naval marshal and commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, was removed from his post and transferred to the reserve.

Former Vice Admiral Koga Mineichi was promoted to general after being summoned by Hirohito. At the same time, he took over the post of commander of the Japanese Combined Navy.

The new commander did not carry out a drastic reform of the Navy. The first thing he did was to stabilize people's minds and try to get the experienced generals out of prison and reserve as much as possible.

Subsequently, he showed up at Yamamoto's doorstep and asked to meet him......
