Chapter 454: Jinzhou Corridor

In fact, even if the devil's pilot can think of it in time, he may not be able to use this new jishu to save his life, because the faster the plane, the more amazing the fuel consumption rate, and the fuel consumption rate of the aircraft when flying at full speed is several times faster than the cruising speed, not to mention after the water jet afterburner. With the small amount of fuel left in the Japanese machine, where can it withstand such consumption?

It is not easy for the faster escort fighters to get rid of the enemy planes, and it is even more difficult for the relatively slow bombers to escape, but the Chinese pilots are becoming more and more experienced the more they fight, and when they find that the devils want to fight desperately and delay time, and the enemy wants to run and chase them at full speed, the Japanese pilots are disgusted enough. Although the performance of the Chinese Air Force aircraft is inferior to that of the enemy, and the quality of the pilots has declined significantly due to continuous expansion, it is still enough to achieve victory after victory in this situation that is far more favorable than that of the British Air Force during the historical Battle of London.

On the contrary, the in-depth attacks of the Japanese army and navy were repeatedly defeated, and what was worse was that the Japanese planes were fighting behind enemy lines, so the pilots were almost certainly captured or killed by the Chinese after the planes were shot down, and the loss rate increased significantly. It is precisely because of this that in these dozen or so battles of different sizes, if the Jinzhou Flying Regiment, which was originally at a disadvantage in all aspects, is calculated by the number of permanent attrition, the exchange ratio with the devil has almost reached 1:10, which is really a brilliant achievement that excites the Chinese people

Realizing the great threat posed by the Jinzhou Flying Regiment, the Japanese Air Force immediately aimed its spearhead at Jinzhou, a strategic location that had already been an important target for attack. The Jinzhou airfield was the first target for their attack, for the simple reason that if they could wipe out enemy planes on the ground, they should never be given a chance to fly.

However, the many air raids by the Japanese planes in an attempt to destroy the Jinzhou airfield were all bloody, and with the more advanced radar equipment of the troops, it was almost impossible for the Japanese planes to sneak attack, so they always faced the Jinzhou Flying Regiment that had already taken to the air to meet the battle and the Second Antiaircraft Artillery Division of the People's Liberation Army, which had been waiting for a long time, and even though the Japanese air force had gradually mastered the difficult problem of coordinating and commanding large formations, it was still difficult to bargain.

What makes the devil vomit blood even more is. Even if they succeeded in causing a certain amount of damage to Jinzhou Airport. Jinzhou Airport relied on the giant rollers that had been prepared for a long time, and it only took a day or two to repair it to the point of barely being usable, and it must be known that after the US airfield was bombarded by the huge guns of the Japanese battleships, it was also repaired to the extent that it could take off and land planes again in one or two days. The battleship's cannons were still the same. Not to mention aerial bombs

Of course. Strictly speaking, the Japanese army's aviation units cannot be said to have gained nothing, after experiencing one setback after another. The Japanese were also fully aware of the role of road rollers, and deliberately imported related jishu from the United States, which at the same time greatly improved the level of jishu in heavy machinery manufacturing in Japan.

In addition, although the Germans once again rejected Japan's request to purchase a proximity fuse jishu, the excellent pilots of the Japanese army still found a set of tactics that could reduce the threat of proximity fuses in actual combat, that is, they first spread out in formation at a distance, and only gathered together to form a battle formation until the distance from the attack target was reduced to within 5 kilometers.

Although even so, the combat effectiveness of proximity fuse anti-aircraft guns is still 2-4 times stronger than the old shells equipped with fixed height fuses or timing fuses, and this tactic requires a high quality of pilots, especially when the enemy has aircraft to take off and intercept, but compared with the previous horror improvement has been much better. In addition, it is worth mentioning that perhaps the devils themselves do not know that their tactics also affect the actual combat effectiveness of the artillery aiming radar (the current artillery aiming radar cannot guide the anti-aircraft gun to fire at a single aircraft, which is the main reason why small-caliber anti-aircraft guns still rely mainly on optical sighting instruments such as gyroscopic sights). Under the combined influence of these two factors, the hit rate of China's large-caliber anti-aircraft guns has been reduced to almost one-fifth of the original one, otherwise if it simply restricts the effect of proximity fuses, considering the cost of such tactics, it may not be very cost-effective

Although Japan could not be said to have gained nothing, but the contest over Jinzhou was ultimately won by the Chinese, and in more than ten days of fierce battles, Jinzhou air defense Liliang not only successfully defended the Jinzhou airspace, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese air force, although because Japan has almost reached the terrible production capacity of 1,000 aircraft per month and has never been able to shake the Japanese army's air supremacy in the entire northeast battlefield, but after all, it still opened up a narrow and advantageous airspace similar to the "MiG corridor" during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in history, The losses on the logistics line were greatly reduced, which naturally strengthened the one million light infantry of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, which already had relatively small requirements for logistics supplies

After leaving behind the "cumbersome" heavy troops, the tactics of the Northeast Million People's Liberation Army soon returned to their previous flexibility and changeability, although even a complete light infantry unit could only persist in fighting for a maximum of a week under the premise of cutting off supplies, but do not forget that the northeast is the land of the Chinese, plus the old anti-Japanese alliance and the current South Manchurian column have laid a certain foundation, so even in the rural areas of South Manchuria, most of them have become liberated areas or guerrilla areas, so as long as they let go and mobilize the masses, they will not worry about not getting support. In addition, the Northeast is sparsely populated and rich in products, and it is not the middle of winter, so a large part of the food can be solved on the spot. Of course, strictly speaking, it is actually the local people who give their own grain to the troops, and then they go to hunt wild meat, dig wild vegetables, and boil until the harvest season, after all, the PLA is now a regular army fighting in large corps, and the combat mission must always be put first

After more than 500,000 PLA troops penetrated into the deep zone of the occupied area of South Manchuria from different directions, the war situation in the northeast suddenly changed dramatically; although the total strength of the Kwantung Army had rapidly recovered to 700,000 by relying on the addition of new recruits from Korea and Taiwan and the enlistment of domestic child soldiers, its combat effectiveness was declining even more. As a result, under the favorable conditions that a large number of planes were clearly in the support of the battle and the artillery fire had regained the upper hand, the Japanese army suffered heavy setbacks in several field battles on the "inner line" and lost more than 100,000 men in just half a month. At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka, who served as the commander again after the reconstruction of the First Armored Army, took the initiative to propose to the military headquarters to lead the army to the northeast to participate in the war (to be continued.
