Chapter 1119: East Asian War (4)
Although the Japanese army aviation unit was officially defeated, after looking at the remaining fuel, the air force still wisely gave up the pursuit, but chose to continue to escort the bomber troops, and prepared to wait until the fuel was almost used before returning homeββββββ of course, compared with the departure trip, the return voyage was much easier.
After all, after a round of air battles, not only did the Air Force's fighters use up a lot of fuel, but so did their ammunition. Ammunition, on the other hand, is very fuel-intensive.
Now that these ammunition are gone, they can naturally fly farther than they used to.
From a certain point of view, this air battle can be said to be the first large-scale air battle in the entire East Asian region, and it is also the largest in history.
In the previous Korean War, although similar battles took place, the size of Japan's army and aviation forces was so small that as a result, those so-called air battles could not be compared with the Western Front in Europe. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the pilots who came down from the battlefield on the Western Frontββββββ in the middle and late stages of World War I, China's involvement was already very deep.
Not only hundreds of thousands of ground troops, but also a considerable number of aviation and armored forces, and even some submarine forces sailed to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean to help the Allies confront Germany.
Not to mention the series of naval ships that the Nationalist government had provided to the Allies during the First World Warββββββ although the losses on the part of the Allies were even greater than all the aid provided by China because of the auspicious snow wind and the like...
No way, it's too auspicious.
It is even quite possible that it is because of this destroyer. The price paid by the British is much greater than in the original history.
Thankfully, the Battle of Jutland ended with a British victory. Otherwise, if it really changes history, then things will be in trouble.
After all, this war. The Entente must win!
Otherwise...
That's right, if Britain loses, it does give China a chance, at least if Britain loses, Hong Kong and other places, China will have a chance to recover.
There are also French Indochina and Burma in Southeast Asia, and even India, China can take advantage of the defeat of Britain to recoverββββββ but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, China can defeat Japan.
There are no British constraints. This means that Japan can also be involved in the competition.
Although Japan's strength was already relatively clear at the end of the war, the Nationalist government had not yet begun to build four super-dreadnought-class battleships at that time.
In other words, the gap between the strength of the Chinese Navy and Japan is still very large...

In any case, because of the deep involvement at that time, there were actually many pilots who participated in the First World War.
Of course, most of these pilots have become full-time instructors, or are hired by airlines. Otherwise, it's to leave the army and do something else.
But there is no doubt that there are still some younger ones who remain in the Air Force.
And as one of the most likely areas for war, the Northeast is also their service theater.
In this battle. The Wehrmacht Air Force, with its own losses of more than 70 aircraft, shot down 300 Japanese military planes.
There is no doubt that this is a real big win. After the end of the air battle. The Japanese even had only forty or fifty military planes and fled in a hurry, in other words. At least for a short time, the Japanese were already incapable of providing air cover to their ground forces. There is no way to compete with the Wehrmacht Air Force.
Naturally, there will be such a degree of victory, the number, the performance of the fighter and the pilot's skill are very important, the first two of which are particularly important, after all, when it comes to technology, the Japanese pilots are actually not bad, but because the number of fighters is too small, and the performance of the fighters is not as good as China's, so the losses are relatively large.
It should be noted that if it weren't for the fact that many pilots in the Wehrmacht Air Force were rookies and had not participated in real wars, perhaps the losses would have been less, and the results would have been greater...
Either way, the victory came...
"So, next, it's up to the people in the Army..."
Saying this, one of the pilots piloting the fighter plane pressed the control stick, which lowered the altitude of the plane a lot, and in a short time it was possible to see that several pontoon bridges had been erected on the Yalu River, and countless national defense soldiers were entering North Korea through the pontoon bridges.
Especially on one of the pontoon bridges, you can even clearly see tanks and armored vehicles crossing the Yalu River through the pontoon bridge.
Despite the large weight of these things, thanks to the efforts of the weapons research and development department, a pontoon bridge was designed that could allow tanks and armored vehicles to pass through, which is currently in use...
Looking at the long queue of people below, for a while, the pilot suddenly doubled his confidence. "It seems that this war is indeed no longer in suspense..."
With that in mind, the pilot swooped down and flew over the ground troops' heads until it was overhead of the Army.
The pilot followed, and a number of other pilots made the same move. And in response to the Air Force, those soldiers on the ground couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer.
As members of the Wehrmacht, they were certainly willing to cheer for the victory of the Air Force.
Especially after they witnessed the victory of the Air Force with their own eyes ...
"Alright! The Air Force is done, and now it's our turn! β
A high-pitched officer stood on the pontoon bridge and shouted at the soldiers passing through the pontoon.
"Oh!" Hearing his words, the Wehrmacht soldiers who passed the pontoon bridge responded loudly.
The cheers of tens of thousands of people at the same time shook the entire Yalu River, and even the water surface of the Yalu River seemed to be shaken...
Uh-huh, I'm sorry, the latter will be made up soon!!
