Gao Zhihang was not worried about this, he said with a smile, "On the issue of air supremacy, you don't have to worry about it now, our pilot training system has now gradually matured after several years of exploration and construction, and now it can send thousands of pilots to the army every year, and this number will gradually increase in the future." ”

Wang Yizhe nodded, he knew that in fact, the fight for air supremacy was the production of aircraft and the consumption of pilots. In fact, the life of pilots in air battles is very short, and so far, nearly 300 pilots of the Heilongjiang Group Army have died in the blue sky. I have the Shanghai base as the backing, the loss of the aircraft is basically negligible, as long as you want to be how much you want, the only short leg is the training of pilots, now and the Japanese can not be seen for the time being, if the future and Soviet Russia, Britain and the United States and other countries large-scale wars, by then the loss of pilots will definitely make people feel distressed to the liver, fortunately, now Gao Zhihang has established the flight training system of Chahar, with this foundation, his life is much better.

Wang Yizhe turned around and said to Gao Zhihang: "Brother Ziheng, I have already told you about the training of pilots last time, I don't ask about the process, as long as the result is achieved, what I want to see is that at this time next year, our school can send at least two to three thousand qualified pilots who have undergone systematic training for the Air Force every year, can you do it?" ”

Gao Zhihang saluted solemnly: "Please rest assured, sir, I promise to complete the task!" He looked at Gao Zhihang and asked, "Ziheng, did you let your newly formed Air Sixth Division and Air Seven Aviation Division form combat effectiveness last month?" Gao Zhihang said: "Report to the chief, they have initially formed combat effectiveness and can participate in some medium-intensity battles." ”

Wang Yizhe nodded: "Okay, then we currently have seven aviation divisions, two naval aviation divisions, and a total of more than 2,500 aircraft, which can comprehensively suppress the Japanese." After finishing speaking, Wang Yizhe stood up and said, "Now I order!" ”

"Whoa!" With Wang Yizhe's words, all the generals, including Jiang Baili, stood up, and everyone's eyes looked at the youngest first-class general in China in front of them. "Starting tomorrow, the 4th Air Division, the 5th Air Division, the 6th Air Division, the 7th Air Division, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Bombing Brigades will all be engaged in the bombing of Mukden. Didn't Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara want to fight to the death with us? We're going to blow them up now! ”

"Yes!" With Wang Yizhe's order, radio waves flew everywhere, and the aircraft groups that were originally distributed in Ningxia, Suiyuan, Mongolia, and Qinghai quickly assembled in the direction of Qiqihar, Liaoyuan, and Tongliao. In the evening, various airfields reported that more than 1,300 aircraft, including bombers, had all been in place, and the improvised road leading to Qiqihar and Liaoyuan was full of busy traffic. More than 6,000 trucks are hurrying to deliver fuel, ammunition and other supplies to various airports. It should be mentioned here that since the opening of the railway from Heilongjiang to Siberia, the traffic flow on the busy highway to Siberia has suddenly fallen silent, and the transportation capacity that has been rigidly delayed by the logistics supply of the Siberian cluster of 400,000 troops has been liberated.

It is only now that the logistics department has been able to dispatch a large number of vehicles to send so many supplies to various field airfields in such a short period of time. After receiving the spy report, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately sent an urgent telegram to the mainland overnight asking for help, and the Japanese base camp immediately became a pot of porridge after receiving the report.

In the base camp of the Japanese army, the Japanese chief of staff, Prince Miyajihito, roared loudly at Tada Jun, who had been in office for less than three months, "Tada-kun, can you tell me what is going on, when was Chahar able to gather more than 1,000 planes at the same time to attack Manchuria at the same time, why did our spy personnel in Heilongjiang not report at all!" ”

Tada Jun was not to be outdone, "Your Excellency, I am only the deputy minister of military affairs, not the chief of the intelligence section, and the intelligence in the territory of China is not under my control, so it would be better for you to ask the intelligence officer of the Mei agency or His Excellency Kagezo about this matter!" "But aren't you ashamed that you, as the military undersecretary, don't you have the slightest strategy to deal with this?" Seeing that Tada Jun dared to contradict himself, Prince Zaihito of the Xianyuan Palace became even more angry.

Tada Jun stared at Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace and said word by word: "Your Excellency, don't forget that it is already two o'clock in the middle of the night, Manchuria is thousands of miles away, how can I conjure up thousands of planes to support them overnight." "You, you bastard!" Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table and threw the water cup on the table to the ground, "Don't you think that you can shirk your responsibilities by relying on the emperor's favor, you were originally in control of the scheduling of the plane and the assembly of materials, did you just push it all away?" ”

"Does the Empire still have planes to dispatch? Is there any surplus to muster? Tada Jun showed a sarcastic look on his face, "Last time, we have mobilized all the planes of the Guards Flying Division to Manchuria, and now our native sky can't even assemble a pitiful two hundred planes, what do you let me do!" "Hmph, aren't there two hundred? You have to mobilize it now, too! "Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace was dumbfounded for a moment, and then spoke again." No way! Tada Jun said decisively: "That is the last force used to encircle Tokyo, if we are all transferred to defend His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Seeing that Tada Jun even Emperor Hirohito had moved out, Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace had no choice but to pinch his nose and endure this breath, and said unwillingly: "Then you have to think of a way!" ”

Seeing that Prince Zaihito's attitude had softened, Tada Jun also accepted it when he saw it: "Now there are only dozens of aircraft that can be mobilized locally. "Zero!" Everyone exclaimed together, they have been known for a long time for this military industry to boast that it is the most advanced fighter in the world, and they did not expect that dozens of them have been produced.

"Yes, Zero!" Tada Jun sighed: "Since it is now in the trial production stage, the current production is not high, only thirty-five aircraft. I originally planned to take the troops by surprise when I had enough 100 planes, but now it seems that I have to expose this trump card in advance! ”

"I can't care so much!" Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace gritted his teeth, "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, the situation in Manchuria is critical now, if the Mukden war is defeated again, then the situation in Manchuria will be irreversible." If the empire loses Manchuria....." Speaking of this, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace and the surrounding officers couldn't help but shudder.....

As soon as there was a glimmer of dawn in the sky, there was a roar of airplanes in the sky, and the rays of sunlight that had just appeared in the sky were covered by a black and oppressive 'dark cloud'. Oh, it was a dark cloud of planes, and the largest flying formation Chahar had ever assembled.

In the center of the flight formation, Gao Zhihang, who had not personally commanded front-line operations for a long time, flew a 47 fighter plane in the flight formation. Since today's air battle is related to whether the Fengtian strategy can be smoothly implemented, and the stakes of this battle are very important, Gao Zhihang also personally put on the battle after applying to Su Tong.

"Report, report! Spotting of a Japanese aircraft group. From the headset came the report of the F5 lightning reconnaissance plane flying close to the clouds: "The specific number of enemy planes is unknown, but it is estimated that there are about 300 enemy planes in the southeast, and they will make contact with our group in about ten minutes." ”

"Understand, the 5th Air Division, the 6th Air Division, and the 7th Air Division are separated from the formation, and they must be completely annihilated!" Gao Zhihang turned on the microphone after connecting to the public channel: "Chahar pilots, the day has come for us to settle accounts with the Japanese Kwantung Army!" Just seven years ago, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops were driven out of the three eastern provinces by Japanese devils with only more than 10,000 people, and these Northeast Army also included Gao Zhihang, and even more than 200 planes on the Mukden Airport were captured by the Japanese. This is the shame of our Northeast Army, and it is also the shame of the Chinese nation, today I, Gao Zhihang, are back again, with a powerful air force! I don't want to talk nonsense today, I only have one request, that is, to keep in mind the instructions of Chief Su, kill the Japanese, and keep killing the Japanese! Air 5, Air 6, Air 7 Divisions, attack! ”

With Gao Zhihang's order, more than 600 war eagles rushed towards the Japanese aircraft group not far away like a formation separated from the arrows of the string, and a major air battle was about to break out...... May 20, 27th year of the Republic of China

In this great battle, the air force of the Ninth Theater of Operations used more than 600 fighters from three air divisions to take the lead in launching an attack on more than 300 Japanese fighters, and the battle was extremely tragic. The sky was full of shnel-flew and firelight, downed fighters were constantly catching fire and exploding in the air, and white umbrella flowers appeared in the air from time to time.

Because the fighters of the Ninth Theater had an absolute superiority in quantity and quality, more than 260 Japanese fighters were shot down in less than an hour of air combat, and the remaining fighters were forced to flee to distant airfields.

The air force of the Heilongjiang Group Army, which won a complete victory, flew to the assembly place of the Japanese ground troops with great swagger, calmly poured all the bombs on the heads of the Japanese troops, and blew up the Japanese troops to a miserable degree, and only more than 200 antiaircraft guns could only be arranged in critical places, and when Stuka finished pouring all the bombs, more than 200 heavy bombers flew from high in the air, and these heavy bomber groups composed of B17 and B24 formed a bomber group to blow up the positions that the Japanese army had worked hard to build to pieces. The gasoline bombs were even more than a ton of super-heavy bombs, which made the Japanese army feel that even hell was nothing more than that.

A Japanese soldier Nakasa wrote on a Japanese plane that day: "Kazuko, today our position was bombed by the Shina Air Force like never before. My subordinate brigade suffered heavy losses in the bombing of the Chinese planes, and by the end of the bombing our brigade of 1,100 men was left with less than 300 men, including the seriously wounded. The 6th Brigade in the position next door to us was even worse, their brigade was burned to ashes by the incendiary shells dropped by the Shina people, who used the same devilish incendiary shells that were dropped in Tokyo last time, once you were burned by this incendiary shells, unless you quickly cut off the part of the bullet with a bayonet, otherwise you will wait to be burned to the fire!

Kazuko, I have a feeling of getting more and more lost about this war. When we first set foot on this land, we from the generals to the soldiers were full of confidence in the conquest of China, the land is so fertile, the mineral deposits and resources here are so rich, how ignorant and insensitive the people here are, but now I find that I am wrong, not only me, but the whole empire is wrong. When we massacre the people here, plundered their resources, their women, it also aroused their deep hatred, and now the people of China are starting to take revenge, and they are using the same methods against us, they slaughter our soldiers, they take the people of our 'reclamation regiment', force them to build railways and mine mines, and their army grows stronger day by day. Today, the air force that we used to be proud of was crippled by them, and less than forty of the more than three hundred fighters escaped, and I began to despair, because I found that today's geo-like career is only the beginning, Kazuko, my favorite wife, can I ever return to my homeland to see you again? ”

After the bombing, the Japanese positions near Mukden were full of desolation, and the sound of Japanese soldiers wailing and crying was everywhere. Only under the pressure of the officers' knives to clean up the collapsed anti-artillery holes and the corpses that had been blown apart or burned to charcoal.

At this time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was also in chaos, because at the same time as Mukden was bombed, the Second Flying Division stationed in Jilin Province was also bombed by the Vladivostok naval aviation, and three airfields were bombed by surprise, and more than 100 planes were blown up on the airfields before they could take off. When the remaining 100 or so fighters rushed from the rest of the field to support, they were caught by the more than 400 'Wildcat' fighters that had been waiting on the clouds for a long time, and finally ended up in the end of the whole army, and the commander of the 2nd Flying Division, who had become the commander of the light pole, committed suicide on the spot.

When the news reached the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it was even worse for Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara Waner, who were already anxious. Mijiro Umezu, who looked sluggish, sat down in his chair in despair, and muttered, "Is this the fate of the Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the imperial army?" Is Manchuria really going to be untenable? ”

Ishihara Wan'er also sat aside, at this time his mind was in a mess, just last night, he and Umezu Mijiro discussed how to use the more than 300 fighters in his hand to take turns to resist the sharp spirit of the Chahar fighters, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by a large group of hungry wolf-like fighters as soon as he appeared, and the sky within a radius of more than 100 kilometers was full of whizzing fighters and bullets flying around, and the sound of pilots calling for reinforcements kept coming from the command center. What tactics and plans have become a dead letter, and the tactics of the Heilongjiang fighters are very clear, that is, no matter what strategy the Kwantung Army uses, they who occupy the quality and quantity of fighters can always use the superior quantity to surround them, and then eat them.

"I see, no matter how clever the strategy and tactics are, it is useless to meet an opponent who occupies absolute strength, and strategy and tactics can only be used when the strength of the opponent is not much different." Ishihara muttered to himself, and the command knife in his hand was slammed against the wooden floor in the command room.

"Umejin-kun, let's ask the base camp to plead guilty, and ask the base camp to send more fighters and reinforcements over, otherwise the responsibility for losing Manchuria is not something you and I can afford to bear!" After a while, Ishihara said with a long sigh to Umezu Mijiro, who was still pondering. "No, we haven't lost yet!" Umezu Mijiro slapped the table with his hand and shouted with a hideous expression: "We still have an army of 600,000, and we still have the support of nearly two million people in the 'Reclamation Regiment'. We also have the rich mineral resources of Manchuria as a backing, and our military-industrial system based in Mukden has not been destroyed. We can also give it a go with those cowardly Shina people! ”

"Umezu-kun, you!" Ishihara didn't expect that Umezu Mijiro didn't know which tendon he had screwed wrong, and he stubbornly refused to want to confess his guilt at the base camp. After today's battle, Ishihara Waner deeply realized that fighting with the Heilongjiang army on the plains without air supremacy could only be abused. Especially if the army of more than 600,000 people is placed on the plain with an unobstructed view, it is waiting to be slaughtered by the opponent's planes.

"Ishihara-kun, don't the people of China only know how to fight by airplane? We will now disperse our forces to avoid the bombardment of the Chinese planes. I'd rather see how many bombs there are in the Chinese plane to blow us up? Umezu Mijiro said through gritted teeth. Umezu-kun, are you crazy? Ishihara stood up openly, and even a warrant officer who had just left the military academy knew that in a large-scale field battle, the result of dispersing the troops could only be broken by the enemy. Could it be that today's bombing also crippled Umezu Mijiro's brain?

"No, I'm not crazy. Ishihara-kun, you must know that only by dispersing the troops can the troops reduce their losses. Although it is said that spreading the troops will give the Chinese a chance to break through, our forces are far superior to the Chinese and we can afford to spend it. Just wait for local reinforcements or support planes to arrive, and we can drive those hateful Shina people back. At this time, Umezu Mijiro's eyes showed a crazy look.

Ishihara also sighed secretly, he knew that Umezu Mijiro had made up his mind, and he would rather use 600,000 troops to slowly follow the pace of the Heilongjiang army's attack to keep Mukden. In the hearts of high-ranking Japanese generals, soldiers can be called up at any time when they die, and their superiors will not be too harsh on the problem of excessive casualties, after all, it is a war, how can there be immortals, but the land, especially a big city like Mukden, must be held accountable for losing its base camp.

At this time, Umezu Mijiro was also difficult to ride a tiger, because he had heard that Hideki Tojo, who was originally going to go home to fish after returning to Japan, did not know what was going on by His Majesty the Emperor, and was ready to let him succeed Tada Jun as the deputy minister of military affairs. Moreover, if Umezu Mijiro's message of plea is sent, then it will be tantamount to his admission that he will not be able to clean up the situation in Manchuria, and what awaits him will be a special plane flying back to China, a cold-looking military police, and permanent retirement.

Ishihara Wan'er is a smart person, and in the blink of an eye, he thought of Umezu Mijiro's intentions, he sighed in his heart, and said: "Umezu-kun, since you have made a decision, then I won't say anything, but I suggest that you withdraw our elite into Mukden City, don't withdraw all of them, put four divisions and 100,000 people in the city immediately." The rest will scatter to avoid the bombardment of the Shina people! ”

"Ishihara-kun!" Umezu Mijiro knew that the little Jiujiu in his heart couldn't hide from his friends, and he was relieved to see Ishihara say this, he knew that as long as Ishihara was willing to help him, then this difficulty would be much easier for him.

Glancing at Ishihara gratefully, Umezu Mijiro began to arrange for the retreat of his troops. Chang Jingwu, who was in charge of commanding the Battle of Jinzhou, stood on a pile of rubble less than 600 meters away from the building, and beside him stood Huang Jianfeng, commander of the 42nd Group Army, and more than a dozen soldiers with Suomi assault rifles with grim faces.

Chang Jingwu put down his binoculars, looked at the top command organ of the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou, which symbolized the Kwantung Army in front of him, and his heart fluttered, and after storming for several days, he finally gnawed Jinzhou down. Now Ryosuke Isoya is surrounded by himself in this building, and he can send them to the West Heaven at any time if he wants. At this moment, a tank slowly drove to a distance of less than two hundred meters from the building, and the big horn on the tank sounded.

"Ryosuke Isoya, you are already surrounded by groups, and there is no way out for stubborn resistance. As long as you lay down your arms, we will guarantee your personal safety, and now give you five minutes, and when the time is up, we will attack. "!" A soldier not far away muttered, "How can Chief Chang be so polite to this old devil Ryosuke Isoya, our tanks can run them flat by pushing them straight through this dilapidated building." ”

"You talk a lot!" A squad leader next to him stuck his head out of the bunker and looked at the building, and the ointment flag planted on it drooped down in despair like a dead father. There was no movement in the building, and there was a dead air in the silence. The five minutes passed quickly, and Chang Jingwu raised his hand to see the time, and was about to wave his hand to order the troops to launch the final blow, when a dull gunshot rang out from the building of the Japanese City Defense Headquarters not far away. As if it were a signal, a beastly howl and scattered gunfire rang out from time to time throughout the building.

Without Chang Jingwu's orders, the soldiers rushed into the Japanese army's urban defense headquarters building at a speed of 100 meters. "Well, we don't have to do it ourselves now, the little devils have solved it all by themselves." Hearing the constant gunshots and howls coming from the headquarters, Huang Jianfeng, who was standing beside Chang Jingwu, showed a look of relief or some regret on his face.

Chang Jingwu turned his head and said to Huang Jianfeng with a smile: "My old army commander, we should be happy if people break it off on their own." If Little Japan were as familiar as Ryosuke Isotani, we would save a lot of trouble! "Hehe....." Huang Jianfeng laughed. The news of the recovery of Jinzhou immediately reached Wang Yizhe and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and everyone knew that the next target of Wang Yizhe's army would inevitably be Mukden.
