And when Yang Zhen returned to North Manchuria, when he met with this Major General Li Mei for the first time, he also personally warned Major General Li Mei that there was not much difference in appearance between the Japanese and the Chinese. In order to invade China, the Japanese trained a group of spies and spies who lived in China and were familiar with China's situation since childhood.

Especially in the northeast, the number of Japanese spies is unusually large. Although it has been cleaned several times, it may not be able to be cleaned up. If they hire Chinese and cause problems, the consequences will be severe. As for the White Russian women who remained in the Northeast, the background is even more complicated. It is possible that not only the Japanese, but even the Soviets were hidden behind them.

In particular, some aspects of the US military's military discipline are still somewhat lax. If he doesn't want his Twentieth Air Force to have something happening inside, it's better not to use the Chinese. At the same time, he and his subordinates are also asked to respect the habits and customs of the Chinese. Manage the discipline of the armed forces to which you belong, and do not cause trouble for the traditional friendship between the Anti-Japanese Federation and the United States.

Under the condition that Yang Zhen did not give in at all, the Americans could only use high salaries from India to recruit a group of bar hostesses, waitresses, and even female dancers to Beiman. For the growing American garrison, to provide services that the old-fashioned Chinese refuse to provide. Of course, this high-tech refers to the income level of Indians, which is extremely cheap for Americans.

The US troops stationed in the North Manchurian base area did not dare to drive a jeep on the street with a woman in their arms and go on a rampage without scrutiny, as they did in Chongqing. All the cities where Americans were allowed to enter were guarded by pickets from the Anti-Union and the American military police. If a violation of discipline is found, the most severe punishment will be imposed. Throughout the period of the North Manchurian station, the discipline of the American troops was unusually good.

According to the agreement reached between the Anti-Japanese Union and the U.S. military, the U.S. military was stationed in North Manchuria. Within each base, the US military itself is responsible for military discipline. However, no matter who is, including Major General Li Mei, as long as he leaves the US military base, he must follow the discipline and law of the Anti-Japanese Union.

Although it is quite dead and even a little unkind to the US military during the period when it was stationed in North Manchuria, the problem of military discipline is quite dead. However, for some problems that occurred within the US military's own bases and between themselves, then Yang Zhen could not control it. Even if the American soldier couldn't think about it, he suddenly broke through with a machine gun that day, and Yang Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to it.

By July, in order to avoid bombing (3), ∞ (3), ∞ (3), ∞ (3) ∞, the repetition of M + →M targets. The Anti-United Nations Long-Range Bomber Command and the ever-expanding 20th Air Force Command also signed an agreement on bombing targets. The Japanese mainland was divided into two and divided their respective operational objectives.

At the same time, with the stationing of US bomber groups, US submarines, which had been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, became more and more active in rescuing the anti-coalition pilots, and even entered the Seto Inland Sea, which was heavily fortified by the Japanese army. A large number of pilots who were shot down and injured were rescued.

Major General Li Mei praised the rescue system of the Anti-Japanese Union in the Sea of Japan. Although there is a certain price to be paid for each rescue, this price is nothing to the rough-skinned US military. In terms of rescue efficiency, it is more valuable and efficient than submarines.

After discovering this, Major General Li Mei personally came forward and asked for more than a dozen Katarina seaplanes and a large number of seaplanes from the Americans. And gradually extended this rescue tactic to the entire Pacific theater. For the anti-United Nations bomber group that fought in concert with him, he asked for 200 B24 bombers from the South Pacific theater.

With the addition of U.S. troops, the Japanese mainland has been bombed more and more intensively. Compared with the original bombing of the Anti-Japanese Union, after the US troops were stationed, the bombing of the Japanese mainland rose several levels. One Japanese city after another was burned under the bomber groups of China and the United States.

Although the Japanese drew a large number of fighters, they returned to the mainland to serve as defense. A large number of new anti-aircraft guns were developed, and the resistance was extremely fierce, but it still failed to prevent the anti-Japanese alliance and the US military from attacking Japan. By the end of April 4, Japan's domestic industrial production had almost come to a standstill. There is no single city in mainland Japan.

North Manchuria's unique geographical environment from Japan, as well as the logistics and supplementary system that the Anti-Japanese Federation has built with all its might over the years, have made the US military quite satisfied with using North Manchuria as an air raid base against Japan. The maintenance of war-damaged aircraft, the cultivation of air and ground crews, and the living environment here are simply incomparable to the US military bases in the Mariana Islands.

At the beheaving of Major General Li Mei, the commander of the US Army Air Corps personally arrived in North Manchuria for inspection and held talks with Yang Zhen and the chief of staff of the Central Military Commission. The B-29 bomber group, which was originally stationed in the Mariana Islands, and the P-51 fighter group, were also transferred to North Manchuria.

In early August, after another group of US bombers arrived in North Manchuria, the Anti-Japanese Union was strongly requested by the US military. The Anti-Japanese Union dispatched almost all the long-range bombers to coordinate with the 500 B-29 bomber groups dispatched by the US military. Under the cover of nearly 500 long-range fighters of the two armies, they carried out a large bombing of Tokyo in multiple batches.

The Stirling bombers, B24 bombers, and B17 bombers of the Anti-Japanese Union, together with the huge B29 bomber group of the US military, dropped nearly 2,000 tons of napalm and more than 500 tons of high-explosive aerial bombs on the Tokyo metropolitan area at one time. The urban area of Tokyo, which had been barely breathing under the bombing of the Anti-Japanese Federation, was completely razed to the ground.

In this air raid operation, the Japanese air defense fighter group deployed around Tokyo also suffered heavy losses under the siege of a large number of Yak-9 long-range fighters dispatched by the Anti-Japanese Union and the P-51 fighter group of the US army. After this massive air raid, the Japanese lost two-thirds of their native air defense strength. And the production of indigenous fighters, too, has fallen to a dangerous figure.

While the Anti-Japanese Union bombed major military industrial cities on the Japanese mainland, the heavy bomber groups of the US military also launched large-scale air raids on shipyards on the Japanese mainland. The production capacity of all the shipyards in mainland Japan, from Hokkaido in the northernmost part to Kyushu Island in the south, has also fallen to the bottom.

In fact, by the end of this April 4, the Japanese who had been bombed into ruins could no longer fight. It's just that with the inherent tenacity of the Japanese, they are still resisting stubbornly. However, the land-based aviation suffered heavy losses, and both the number of aircraft and the number of pilots were far from meeting the needs, so they could only rely on anti-aircraft guns to resist.

However, many times, good things happen at the same time as some bad things. With the arrival of more and more US troops, the supply pressure of the Anti-United Nations has suddenly increased a lot. In particular, the supply of beef, a favorite of American pilots, is doubling almost every month.

For the miserable local government, Yang Zhen can only come forward to do the work in person. Fortunately, the Chahar and Suidong regions of the Mongolian nomadic region are now under the control of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the Jinsui Military Region. The Anti-Japanese Federation itself also has Mongolian herdsmen's settlements such as Hulunbuir, Xilin Gol, Xing'an, and Zhaowuda.

Under the premise that Yang Zhen had already deployed in advance, increased the breeding and feeding of cattle, and improved the feeding methods, the output of beef cattle in these places was quite large. At the same time, the central government also mobilizes a large number of beef cattle and dairy cows from Chahar, Suidong, and even northern Shanxi every year to supply the northeast.

Even in Western Manchuria, the traditional Mongolian horse breeding has been stopped, and all herders have switched to cattle and sheep breeding. The first is to make canned food and supply it to the troops in various battlefields in the Kannai, and to ensure the supply of goods exchanged with the Soviets. The second is to supply the US Army Air Force, which is an unusually huge demand.

Although the pressure on supply is a little greater, it is basically within the range of bearability, and even took the opportunity to introduce excellent beef cattle and dairy cows from the United States. Coupled with the clear real price, the Americans are not angry. Although a considerable part of this beef and milk entered the stomachs of American GIs, they also brought machinery and equipment for Northeast China and North China.

At the end of only four or four years, with this beef as capital, Yang Zhen got a complete set of steel rolling equipment from the Americans for Xuangang, which was under construction. At the same time, with the supply of four or five years and the whole year as a bargaining chip, two 350-ton steelmaking blast furnaces were built for Xuangang. As for whether this war can be fought until the end of four or five years, that is another matter.

Faced with a huge supply of fuel, the Americans, even if they were reluctant, offered the latest jet fuel smelting technology. It has increased the supply of oil production and petroleum smelting equipment to North Manchuria. At the same time, the supply speed of electric furnaces for smelting special steel has also been much faster than the original plan.

After all, if all the fuel and aerial bombs required to meet the needs of these huge bomber groups are transported from the US mainland, it will bring extremely heavy transportation pressure to the Americans, and it will also be difficult to ensure the attendance of these bomber groups. Even for the sake of this war, the supply is guaranteed at any cost. But for the Americans, it is also quite worth the loss.

And of all the bases available to the United States to bomb Japan, neither Guam nor any other island, there is no better one than North Manchuria. In particular, the combat radius is no shorter than that of a take-off from North Manchuria. The shorter the combat radius, the greater the bomb load of the aircraft. At the same time, the survival rate of air crew personnel will also be higher, and this is undoubtedly the key to ensuring that the combat effectiveness and attendance rate of the troops are comparable.

Even if they were reluctant, the Americans eventually accelerated the supply of equipment needed to confront the metallurgical industry, as well as oil extraction and smelting equipment, and provided the technology to refine high-grade jet fuel, which had been refused. Because their B-29 bombers could not use the low-grade fuel smelted according to the Soviet-style process provided by the Anti-Union.

Despite the burden, the sacrifice of these beef cattle as a whole is quite worthwhile. Of course, providing Americans with low-grade Soviet-style fuel is also consciously done by Yang Zhen. Although it is not yet capable of smelting the high-performance aviation fuel of the United States, with the American-style petroleum smelting technology adopted by North Manchurian since the beginning of the operation of the petroleum smelter, it will not be able to refine Soviet-style fuel oil with too low grade.

But for Yang Zhenlai, Beiman is unable to produce high-grade aviation fuel, but it has always been a heart problem for him. Because this means that once the United States is lost, the United States and British fighter groups and bomber groups in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, including those German second-hand goods, that can only use American-made high-grade fuel, can basically be shut down.

Whether or not this problem can be solved is the lifeblood of whether or not these combat aircraft units can continue to maintain their combat effectiveness after the Americans cut off aid. In order to get the smelting technology of high-grade aviation fuel in the United States, Yang Zhen can be regarded as fighting. Who made this fuel technology, only the Americans have it.

As for the two brand-new C-May Fourth transport planes given to Yang Zhen by the Americans, Yang Zhen transferred them to the Anti-United Nations Aviation Factory with a stroke of his pen, dismantled them in eight pieces for thorough study, and transferred one to the central government for use. In order to show the so-called friendship between the two parties and armies of China and the Soviet Union, he only took a Li 2 transport plane when he traveled back and forth between inside and outside the Guanxi Province.
