In addition, due to the large loss of aircraft, the development and commissioning of various new models in Japan has been greatly accelerated, and the production capacity of aircraft has also increased rapidly at an unimaginable rate, the number of aircraft produced in Japan in 1937 was less than 2,000, and in 1938 it exceeded 4,000, and in 1939 it broke through the 8,000 mark in one fell swoop (historically, Japan's aircraft production peaked in 1943, with an annual output of more than 16,000 aircraft). Except for a small part of these aircraft stationed on the mainland and overseas islands, more than two-thirds of the remaining number were thrown into the battlefield of aggression by the Japanese army, causing great difficulties to the squadrons in the bloody war of resistance

At present, with the loss of these 127 aircraft, and counting the previous losses of 74 aircraft in Yangmingbao and Baoding, the number of planes of the Provisional Aviation Corps of the Japanese North China Front Army, which originally numbered more than 300, quickly plummeted to less than 100 aircraft (there were some losses in the previous battle with the Eighth Route Army, and there were also mechanical failures and crashes or damages. Among them, there are only sixty or seventy that can fight at any time, and most of them are concentrated in Zhangjiakou, which is under the direct threat of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, because a total of 74 Japanese planes were captured on two occasions, the strength of the 15 th Army Flying Regiment skyrocketed by nearly two times, and it had a total of 124 usable aircraft, including 15 reconnaissance planes (all of which were reconnaissance planes of the Type 97 Command, which were very fast, and the fighters of various countries were basically unable to catch up with them 39 years ago. ), 54 fighters (including 48 Type 95 biplane fighters and 6 I-16 monoplane fighters), 22 trainer aircraft, 33 bombers (of which 27 are Type 97 light bombers and 6 are Soviet SB-2 light bombers). ）。 Considering that it would take time for the Japanese army to dispatch aviation units to enter the customs and to clear the two damaged airfields, the 15 th Army Flying Regiment could completely seize air supremacy over the entire North China battlefield within a period of time. Once air supremacy was obtained, the army's firepower was completely inferior to that of the 15 th Army of the Japanese North China Front and the Eighth Route Army, which had sufficient strength, and it was fully capable of inflicting heavy losses on it

When the heroes of the 15th Army Flying Regiment returned triumphantly, Baoding had been completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and none of the Japanese troops in the city surrendered, and all of them were killed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army one by one. At this point, the devil's 6th Division has become a turtle in an urn. Although Gu Shoufu relied on the 36th Brigade to sacrifice his life to rescue and escaped from the pursuit of the 94th Division to Dingxian, he still did not escape the net woven by the 15th Army and the Eighth Route Army, and there were more than 10,000 main forces of the 115th Division in the north at this time. In the south, there are 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers of the 94th Division, in the west is the Jin-Cha-Ji border area, the base camp of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and in the east is the national control area that has not yet fallen. At this time, the 6th Division had only more than 10,000 remnants left, and there was little ammunition left, which made Gu Shoufu, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, lose confidence and pinned more hopes on the reinforcements sent by the base camp.

The North China Front Command immediately sent reinforcements after learning that the 6th Division was surrounded, and due to the lack of troops, they actually sent out the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, the only division in the Pingjin area at present, with Lieutenant General Kongo Nakajima as the division commander, and the defense of the Pingjin area was temporarily taken over by the 26th Division, the main force of the Mongolian Xinjiang Corps, but the commander of the Japanese North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, predicted that the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army would arrive in Beiping in three days. At that time, the 26th Division will be able to retire with success

Hu Weidong learned from the telegraph that he was actually the culprit of the Nanjing Massacre, and that the number of killings even exceeded that of the 6th Division of the Japanese 16th Division. Suddenly overjoyed, he secretly sighed in his heart, "Is it really 'Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky'?" Great, now that both of these troops have been sent to the door. I'm not afraid to hold on! ”

Just when the 16th Division was anxiously heading south along the Pinghan Line to rescue the enemy, the 15 th Army Flying Regiment, which was still immersed in joy, had already complied with Hu Weidong's order and took advantage of the fact that the strength of the Japanese air force in North China had been seriously damaged and had not yet been replenished, and concentrated its superior forces to forcibly attack the Tianjin Dongjuzi Airport and Chengde Airport controlled by the Japanese army. A total of 59 Japanese planes of various types were blown up, but the flight regiment of the 15 th Army only lost two more conspicuous Soviet bombers that were attacked by concentrated fire, and Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, commander of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the North China Front of Japan, could not withstand the heavy blows one after another, vomited blood and fainted on the spot and was admitted to the hospital...,

At this point, there was only one airfield available to the Japanese army in North China, Zhangjiakou, although considering that there were a lot of planes at the airfield and the strength of the air defense force was not weak, Hu Weidong did not force the flight regiment to take the risk of bombing, but turned his attention back to the ground battlefield, anyway, the previous victory was enough to ensure the squadron's air supremacy in the North China battlefield for a period of time, and with the help of the 115th Division, the strongest of the four divisions of the Eighth Route Army, it should be enough for the 15 th Army to wipe out the two devil divisions. On the Japanese side, the huge losses suffered by the airport in the air raids again and again also gave them a great lesson, so the Japanese army did not hesitate to spend huge additional financial resources to build underground hangars at each large airport, and emphasized that there must be aircraft in the air to guard under any circumstances, these measures eliminated one security safety hazard after another, but also unknowingly consumed Japan's war potential, but at this time, whether it is Japanese or Chinese, few people see so far

It is said that the old devil Nakajima recently heard that Gu Shoufu, who had a similar smell, was trapped in Dingxian County, and did not stay after receiving the order, and immediately took almost all the family of the 16th Division out of Pingjin, and in order to catch up, he also persuaded the North China Front Command to temporarily hand over almost all available trucks to him for use, so that the 16th Division temporarily became a mechanized division in the mouth of the devil, but just when he was in high spirits, he crashed headlong into the iron plate of Baoding, although it was too late to build perfect fortifications, However, the troops directly under the 115th Division, which rarely had the help of aircraft and heavy artillery, showed great tenacity, and the devil hit his head and bled but still couldn't penetrate this iron plate, and broke thousands of men and horses in vain, and what frightened Nakajima Kongo even more was that a powerful force that came out of nowhere had cut off their rear road (your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
