Chapter 278: The Power of Third-Hand Goods
This time, in order to realize the intention of the central government, Yang Zhen considered it as comprehensively as possible in the overall strategy of the next step. "≤, he will fully mobilize the existing resources from all walks of life to make final preparations for the realization of the central government's intentions. That is to say, to take all possible means to ensure victory in this general decisive battle.
This can only win and must not lose, even if it is a complete annihilation of the Kwantung Army, but as long as Nanman is defeated, it will also be a losing strategic decisive battle, so that the pressure on Yang Zhen can be imagined. If it weren't for the fact that he had always kept a low profile, the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army itself would never have found a pattern in his whereabouts. I'm afraid that his disappearance during this period of time will collapse the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.
At the same time that Yang Zhen was putting all his mind on the battle plan, the air force of the Anti-United Nations also continued to adopt the tactics of taking the initiative to attack in accordance with Yang Zhen's requirements. With B-25 bombers and A-20 attack planes, they formed a mobile group and constantly took the initiative to attack various airfields of the Japanese army in South Manchuria and Korea, as well as the railway lines and ports in North Korea throughout Korea.
After the German-made fighters they received formed their combat effectiveness, they also constantly organized small groups of fighters to take the initiative to attack with the tactics of safari. Constantly fighting with the new fighter groups of the Japanese army, the Type 3 and Type 4 fighters, which were newly transferred to South Manchuria and Korea, engaged in small but fierce air battles.
After receiving these two types of fighters, as well as the La-5FN fighters provided by the Soviet army, the BF-109 fighters could only be placed on the front line to fight for first-line air supremacy because of their short legs. However, the FW 190 fighter brought quite a surprise to the anti-coalition air force.
This fighter has a modest range, and when flying at low speeds, it looks like a truck with no tires. But the extremely excellent ability to roll and hover in the air, far exceeding the climb ability of any Japanese aircraft, and the extremely ferocious firepower, are just right for fighting the new Japanese fighters.
In addition to those handed over by the Soviets, the German ace pilots who originally flew this kind of aircraft were very careful, and the pilots of the Anti-United Nations gave full play to the performance of this aircraft to the extreme in air combat. Yang Zhen's policy of leniency towards German prisoners of war and his adoption of the method of attacking the heart and mind still played a considerable role.
The German pilots who were selected as instructors carried records from dozens of Soviet and other Allied warplanes. When training those modest-minded Oriental pilots, it can be said that they have as much ability as they have. Nor has there been a single anti-United Nations plane that has gone to its allies.
Because these people are not stupid, from the European battlefield situations sent by the Anti-Japanese Federation every day, they clearly know that the Third Reich behind them is already in decline. Japan, an ally in Asia, is also increasingly at a disadvantage. Rather than being caught back and sent back to the icy Siberia of the Soviet Union to endure hardship, it is better to stay in China.
At least the Chinese treated the Germans much better than the Soviets. In China, not only can you eat well, but you can also eat quite well and dress warmly. Training Chinese pilots and working for the Chinese, there is also a certain salary to be paid. Although it is not as high as in Germany, it is already the best choice as a prisoner of war, so why bother to suffer for yourself?
This was affectionately called the Shrike by the German army, and the Allies in the European theater called it through gritted teeth, and the fighter plane of the Nazis' biggest rogue was put into the battlefield. Under the pilot posture carefully taken out by the German pilots, it was like a cavalry war horse in the air. The Japanese Type 3 and Type 4 fighter groups, which would pose a great threat to the anti-coalition air forces, brought heavy losses.
In the air, the Type 4 fighters that the Japanese army had just put into operation were basically powerless to fight back. Once, in an air battle, he shot down 21 Japanese Type 4 fighters and almost crushed a Japanese team. The 2nd and 3rd type fighters, which the Japanese army had brought severe losses to the Anti-Japanese Union, also suffered heavy losses under the blows of the La5FN and BF 109 fighters.
In particular, in this air battle, the Anti-United Nations adopted the tactics of two-plane formation safari, which made the radar performance very poor, and because the radar network became a thorn in the side of the Anti-United Nations, the speed of construction was not as fast as the speed of bombing. The Kwantung Army, which has never been able to establish a complete radar early warning network that can provide valuable intelligence, is unable to defend against it.
After two months of fierce air fighting, the Kwantung Army Aviation Regiment lost two-thirds of its strength, and the aviation regiment under the North Korean Army was almost wiped out. The Korean military air force, which has lost most of its vital strength, can no longer pose any threat to the bomber group of the anti-coalition air force passing through the Sea of Japan.
When receiving this batch of second-hand goods, it was very reluctant among the aviation troops, and almost no one did not think that this inconspicuous-looking second-hand goods, or even three receipts, would have excellent performance. The excellent performance of the troops equipped with this type of aircraft made Fang Ziyi report to Yang Zhen one after another, proposing that he didn't want any other aircraft, and wanted this kind of aircraft.
Even Fang Ziyi proposed to equip the aviation unit at the moment, except for the Yak-9 fighters, all the rest of the fighters were withdrawn from the front line. As much as possible, replace it with this fighter with excellent air superiority and quite good ground attack capabilities.
Regarding Fang Ziyi's report that his attitude was almost 180 degrees, Yang Zhen just smiled and retreated directly. He thinks these things are cabbage, and he can get them anywhere. Although the Germans were not Japanese who burned jade at every turn, it was much easier for the winged air force to retreat than for the army.
Combined with the scorched earth policy adopted by the Germans when they retreated, and the method of withdrawing the air force first when the situation was not good, the number of German aircraft that fell into the hands of the Soviets was not very large. When the Germans did not have time to evacuate, they usually bombed the planes along with the airfield. It was not easy for the Soviets to capture a certain number of this aircraft.
At the same time as the fierce battle in the air, on the ground, the two sides started from the mountains and forests in Fushun in the east to the confrontation line in the west at Shanhaiguan, and the Anti-Japanese Union also adopted the tactics of encroachment by infantry with tank cooperation and attacking in a small area from multiple routes. Strikes and sabotage were carried out on the forward positions of the Japanese army, as well as at various support points, permanent and semi-permanent fortification groups, and various firepower clusters in the depth of the first line.
At the same time that Yang Zhen was in retreat, the 20th Air Force of the US military stationed in North Manchuria joined the air raid against Japan in early June 44. The B-29 bomber group it is equipped with is even more destructive to the Japanese mainland than the bomber group of the Anti-United Nations with sophisticated electronic equipment, super range and bomb load.
The Americans are very good at learning, and they learned very quickly from the experience accumulated by the Anti-Japanese Union in air raids against Japan. Beginning with the first wave of 98 bombers in early June, the number of bomber groups dispatched by the US military has increased every time. In early July, more than 200 B-29 bombers were dispatched at one time to drop thousands of tons of napalm on Yokohama at one time.
The Americans, who have learned a lot, also used a lot of napalm during the air raids against Japan. At the same time, the P-51 Mustang fighters escorted by it and the P-38 fighter group with auxiliary fuel tanks also launched a series of large-scale air battles with the army, navy, and air force of the Japanese mainland.
In fact, not counting the gap in aircraft performance, the US Army Aviation stationed in North Manchuria, in fact, is worth learning from the United Nations in many places, especially in terms of its high efficiency. Within a period of time after the US Army Air Force had completed its entry into North Manchuria, the US military did not rush to dispatch immediately.
The commander of the Twentieth Air Force, which was formed to bomb Japan, was called Curtis. Major General Li Mei repeatedly jumped on a bomber with a group of commanders and staff to resist the United Nations. Following the group of anti-United Nations bombers that had resumed air strikes against Japan, he conducted a systematic investigation of the Japanese air defense system and the tactics of the anti-United Nations bombing against Japan.
Every time its ground crews bomb, there are plans for various systems. The theoretical foundation of its air crew staff and ground crew personnel is solid. The thorough action plan of each time, the high efficiency of the lean command headquarters, and the ability to quickly repair the battle-damaged aircraft are also worth learning from the Anti-United Nations.
In this regard, Yang Zhen specially issued an order to the anti-United Nations air force, to learn from other people's strengths, not to only stare at other people's shortcomings, and to learn more from other people's experience in bombing command. Learn more from good experiences, but don't learn everything, even those bad habits.
At least the kind of American air and ground crews pilots, male and female soldiers hug each other and kiss openly when they are fine. Male soldiers drink too much, and they must not learn the lifestyle of chasing women everywhere. However, American movies can still be watched. Not only the aviation units themselves can watch it, but they can also be shown in other places.
However, there is one point that Yang Zhen repeatedly told the commander long before the US troops were stationed, that is, the Americans are absolutely not allowed to use any Chinese women in their bases to engage in any service industry. Regardless of whether it is formal or not, and no matter what kind of bar or other place, Chinese are not allowed. Even in the territory of the base area, the recruitment of staff is absolutely not allowed.
The Ministry of Political Affairs is also not allowed to organize female soldiers to go to the Americans to hold any condolence performances. Americans need women in the service industry, let them go there where they like, anyway, the Chinese in the major base areas are absolutely not allowed. It's not a matter of being closed or not, it's the natural virtue of these American GIs who are in trouble and he knows too well.
In later generations, Yang Zhen saw with his own eyes that American GIs fighting in some countries did not even wear pants on the street, setting up some kind of male symbol for the women who came and went, and defecating unscrupulously on the street. It's a country where even women show their faces on the streets, which is against tradition.
Not to mention the American GIs stationed all over the world after World War II, how many mixed-race children were left in various countries, and Japan and South Korea, which were miserable all day long by the US garrison. Let's just say that during the entire World War II, the US troops stationed in various countries caused less trouble? Even throughout World War II, the British, whose homeland almost became a barracks for the US military, were called a country that was cuckolded en masse by American GIs.
Supported by the unusually strong national strength behind them, these Americans took military salaries that were much higher than those of other countries, as well as chocolate, camel cigarettes, canned American food, milk powder, etc., which were not seen at all in other belligerent countries, plus waving dollars to make romantic debts everywhere, leaving behind piles of mixed breeds.
The Americans accused the Soviets of raping women in Germany after the war, but they were just as unclean under their own butts. The Soviets retaliated and turned Germany into a paradise for rape. The Americans, wielding chocolates and milk powder, plus large sums of dollars, turned Germany and later Japan into a big brothel.
These American soldiers have been a bunch of troublemakers since their ancestors. Although he also knew that women and alcohol were the best medicine for forgetting about fighting on the battlefield, Yang Zhen still thought that what they had in mind was their own business. But there is one thing, that is, they are absolutely not allowed to spoil the Chinese. Even if he Yang Zhen is no longer spineless, he can't afford to exchange his compatriots and sisters for dollars with Americans.
