In fact, in late March, the European theater of war was in its final moments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoYang Zhen thought about taking advantage of this may be the last honeymoon period to purchase 500 to 700 La-700 fighters from the Soviet side to replace the Soviet-made fighters that have begun to reach the end of their life one after another, as well as the American-made fighters that can no longer afford to compete for air superiority because of their lack of performance.

However, until the European theater of war had been completely over, this request was never answered by the Soviet side. Even at the end of the European theater, the Soviets only agreed to hand over the German planes that had fallen into their hands to the Chinese comrades, but they could not deny Yang Zhen's request to exchange grain or cash exchange for a batch of La-7 fighters that they had completely freed up and were basically useless.

It was only through the military delegation in the Anti-Resistance League that it was tactfully proposed that it was now preparing to begin the reconstruction of the Soviet Union, which had almost destroyed its western territories, and did not want to confront the United States in Asia. For the time being, the Soviet Union will not provide any equipment to China in active service. For the USSR, the time of war has passed, and now is the time to make up for the wounds of war.

In order to deal with the Soviet side, Yang Zhen even proposed that now that the Soviet Union had ended its war against Germany, the freed Soviet army could join the Asian theater. It is not only possible to overturn the unequal treaties imposed on the Russian people by the Japanese in collusion with US imperialism after the Russo-Japanese War.

The anti-union side could also hand over the South Kuril Islands and even Hokkaido to the Soviet side for occupation in exchange for a batch of Soviet fighters. Even the hope of transferring production technology and selling a batch of engines to be organized by the Chinese side is gone.

The Soviets made it clear that they now do not intend to give the Resistance League, any kind of equipment and technology. Even if they are all idle now, they can't stop at the airport on their home turf. Don't say it's new, even those second-hand goods are not given. General Pulkaev, who understood Moscow's intentions, refused very toughly.

Perhaps it can be seen that behind Yang Zhen's suggestion, he wants to provoke a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Asian battlefield, so as to benefit China's idea of taking the chest in the fire. Or for other reasons, the only indication of Yang Zhen's suggestion on the Soviet side was that it would assist the Chinese comrades in collecting the surplus German munitions, especially combat aircraft and spare parts. However, no reply was given to any other suggestion.

However, when negotiating with the Soviets, Yang Zhen did not know what method to take, from the mouth of the Soviets, who had never vomited anything since he had always swallowed it in his stomach. After the Middle East Road incident, the Fuyuan Delta, which was occupied by the Soviet Union and has been controlled until now, was brought back. This achievement is the only relatively large gain for Yang Zhen in this negotiation.

However, this gain only solved a part of the territorial dispute, but it did not solve the immediate needs of the fighter force. Before the conversion of German fighters in large quantities, Yang Zhen could only temporarily replace the Soviet-made fighters with the already backward American-made P-40 fighters, which had withdrawn from the front line.

It was not until the beginning of July that a large number of German-made fighters were reequipped, and this problem was completely alleviated. The indifferent attitude of the Soviets made Yang Zhen very nerve-wracking. Sometimes he even wondered if he had made too hasty of his decision.

But in the end, Yang Zhen still did not change his previous decision, and would rather risk the decline in production than improve the aircraft manufacturing process. In the original Soviet-style aircraft production process, wood and steel pipes were used as the main structure of the aircraft, and the aircraft was made of all-aluminum. That is to say, from the Soviet-style production process, all to the American production process.

Of course, the Soviets didn't know that Yang Zhen, who originally wanted to leave a little leeway for the Soviets in some plans. After the decision made by the Soviets during the negotiations, although it seemed calm on the surface, they finally decided to leave them with no pants left. The result of this air battle made Yang Zhen finally make up his mind.

However, they did not expect that the Japanese would deploy the main force of the local army and aviation to compete for air supremacy in the Korean Strait and cut off the last contact between the Korean army and the mainland at the same time that the Japanese would have already endured tremendous pressure on the homeland and the fuel shortage had reached its peak, so as to ensure the successful completion of the objectives of the Korean campaign.

There were indeed some errors in judgment in this matter, and I didn't expect to cause such a big loss. Despite the fact that the pilots of the downed plane, most of them were rescued. It's just that the loss of a large number of planes in this battle has made the already difficult life of the fighter unit somewhat worse.

For two months, there was a gap in combat effectiveness, which made other fighter units that were still fighting on the front line somewhat exhausted. Fortunately, Yang Zhen weakened the intensity of the air attack on Japan, and some of the fighters who originally served as escorts could free up their hands to partially fill this gap.

However, Yang Zhen refused after thinking about the British fighter jets that had been transferred to the mothballed by the fighter unit. At present, except for the Korean battlefield, the situation in other areas is relatively calm. What the pilots who are currently on standby should do is to be ready to take over the German-made aircraft, rather than rushing to the battle.

Therefore, Yang Zhen did not agree to the request of the fighter unit to seal the more than 300 Spitfire fighters currently stored in the northeast. Fighter pilots who are only asked to return to the northeast for conversion training, but have no planes to use for a while, have intensified their training and improved their training mode. At the same time, the German-style trainer aircraft transferred in advance was used to complete the flight conversion as soon as possible.

In this battle, the anti-United Nations fighter units suffered heavy losses. Several units of the Japanese Army Air Corps on the home side were basically all disabled. On the contrary, the Japanese Navy, which also had little left, was much more shrewd, did not get involved, and still retained a certain strength.

It's just that after the battleship Yamato was sunk in the waters of Okinawa, the Japanese Navy, which had no strength, simply even acted as a turtle with a shrunken head in the aviation unit. Seeing that the army fought hard, it stubbornly refused to put its latest and trump card purple electric fighter into the West Coast fighter.

In fact, it was not entirely the Japanese Navy that could not save itself, but in the face of frequent visits from the United States and Britain carrier-based aircraft groups, the Japanese Navy really had no energy to deploy troops to support the army. In addition, the production of purple electric fighters is not going well, and serious quality problems have led to a limited number of aircraft sorties. Being able to take over most of the tasks of the local air defense operation at this time is already very worthy of the army brothers.

During the Battle of Okinawa, the last mobile force led by the battleship Yamato dispatched by the Japanese Navy was sunk by all the carrier-based aircraft of the US wasp. The Japanese navy no longer has any forces that can be maneuvered on its own territory, except for a few coastal defense ships and a small number of destroyers.

Even the Japanese Navy, which is now basically running out of blood, and even the army pilots who parachuted in the Korean Strait, are no longer able to rescue them. I could only watch the large number of seaplanes dispatched by the Anti-United Nations, and most of the pilots who were shot down by the Anti-United Nations were rescued.

And the pilots of the army either choose to be prisoners, or they will see if their lives are great. Can you hold on to the army rowing a wooden boat to rescue, or can you float to the mainland or North Korea with the current? If you are lucky, you may be able to wait until you are rescued, but if you are not lucky, you can only feed the sharks in the sea, or after the life jacket is torn, you will sink directly to the bottom of the sea.

After losing air cover and completely cutting off the connection with the local territory that was close at hand, the life of the North Korean army was even more difficult. Yang Zhen's weakening of the power invested in air strikes on the Japanese mainland does not mean that the investment in the Korean battlefield has been reduced. In order to achieve the goal of launching the campaign as soon as possible, Yang Zhen basically transferred all the tactical attack aircraft units in the entire northeast battlefield to the Korean battlefield.

In this battle, the losses of the fighter group were not light, but the losses of the attack group were not large. The A-20 attack planes, SBD dive bombers, and British-made Blenheim bombers, plus the Hurricanes and some P-40 fighter groups used as attack planes, to cut off the entire southern Korean battlefield and carry out fire strikes on all moving targets and Japanese positions that were discovered.

He even sent a brigade from the battlefield in Guannai, where the battle had already been completed, and from among the aviation units participating in the battle, he returned to the northeast to participate in the war. However, in view of the fact that the Il-2 attack aircraft unit transferred to the Guannai battlefield suffered heavy losses in the Jianghuai Campaign, basically all the planes invested in this campaign were made by the United States and Britain.

Because the United States and Britain have basically stopped aiding, the frequency of attendance of these aircraft, which still have a long lifespan, can only be reduced due to the lack of spare parts. Adhering to the factor of using the maximum life as much as possible, the Korean campaign basically did not dispatch the Il-2 attack aircraft produced by the Anti-Japanese Union itself, but all the planes made by the United States and Britain were invested.

Especially the British Hurricane fighters and Blenheim bombers, it is quite a pity not to give up. However, the overall quantity of equipment at the moment is not enough for the Anti-United Nations to open a production line for it. So after this campaign, the aviation forces are ready to decommission them all.

The units that were originally equipped with these two aircraft will be converted into P-40 fighters, A-20 attack aircraft, and SBD dive bombers, which are still large in number and stock of spare parts. Yang Zhen approved the use of American-made P-39 fighters, A-20 attack planes exchanged with the Soviets, and a certain reserve reserve, and it is completely possible to replace the Blenheim light bombers, which are already small in number.

The last batch of P-40 fighters aided by the Americans, as well as a large number of spare parts, are still mothballed in Qiqihar because their performance has fallen behind and cannot compete with the latest Japanese fighters. Yang Zhen has agreed that after this battle, all these fighters will be unsealed and all the British-made planes in the attack aircraft unit will be replaced.

By mid-June, the North Korean army, let alone motor transport, did not even dare horse-drawn carriages to go on the road during the day. Napalm burned the mountainous areas controlled and garrisoned by the Japanese army into white ground. The entire southern part of Korea has been completely paralyzed.

The tactics adopted by Yang Jicai in the Jinhua Battlefield, which were quite effective in mountain offensive warfare, were quickly promoted to the entire Korean battlefield on a large scale. The combination of infiltration and frontal attack, shallow and deep penetration and siege tactics on both flanks has made the progress of the entire Korean battlefield slower but steady progress.

In the face of the increasingly powerful pressure of the Anti-United Nations, although the North Korean army continued to desperately block the attack relying on the mountains and tried to delay the offensive of the Anti-United Nations, the battle line was gradually compressed to the south. By 11 June, the Korean cluster commanded by Du Kaishan was on the western front and had taken Yeongdeungpo and Ui government lines.

Breaking through the Ui government also hit the gate of Seoul, the core of Japanese rule in Korea. Although the Japanese Governor's Office in Korea and the Headquarters of the 17th Front Army, which was reorganized from the Korean Army Headquarters, had already moved to Daejeon, the Japanese army still did not want to abandon Seoul.

Although the front line of the Ui government has been broken through, all the commanding heights of the Yakeling have been captured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and Seoul is basically no longer in danger to defend. However, the Japanese army in Korea continued to pour troops in the direction of Seoul, trying to keep Seoul, the railroad and highway of the entire Korean Peninsula, and the symbol of Japanese rule over Korea.
