Take Taobao to fight against Japan

The current air combat basically remains in the competition of aircraft performance and pilot's fighting skills.

Therefore, senior generals such as Harada Uichiro were unfamiliar with and disdainful of the air combat tactics mentioned by Nishida Toru, and even subconsciously thought that Nishida Toru was playing tricks.

As for air combat, although Yang Fan is a layman with real money, he at least knows the two-aircraft formation and four-aircraft formation of the German Air Force, as well as many practical air combat tactics.

Among them, the two-aircraft formation is composed of the lead aircraft and the wingman. During the combat cruise, the distance between the two aircraft in a linear formation is about 180 meters.

In this way, the lead plane can concentrate on searching without worrying about the blind spot behind it. In combat, the wingman is responsible for covering behind the lead plane when it attacks.

In fact, this two-aircraft-based formation approach was rewarded handsomely and was quickly followed by other countries.

Above the two-aircraft formation is the so-called four-aircraft formation, which consists of two double-aircraft formations to form a four-aircraft formation that covers and supports each other.

In combat, a group of two-aircraft formations flies in front, and another group of two-aircraft formations flies behind the front group, forming a so-called four-finger formation. ?

Both the four-aircraft formation and the two-aircraft formation are the most basic combat units, and experienced pilots can be selected as the commanders of the four-aircraft formation.

Because the battle is carried out in a small team, the sneak attack after the enemy discovers it has become the most efficient tactic.In fact, at least the German fighter aces, almost half of their victories came from sneak attacks.

The most classic attack method is: approach from the direction of the sun at a higher altitude, then dive vertically below the enemy plane at 6 o'clock, and then quickly launch an attack.

Yang Fan may or may not be proficient in these advanced air combat tactics, but this does not prevent him from packaging these advanced theories from the system market to his own air force, allowing them to study and digest them by themselves.

Facing the doubts from the two lieutenant generals, Toru Nishida did not flinch in the slightest, and said in a firm tone: "Your Excellency, I am not talking nonsense. After my experience in fighting them several times, I can be sure that the Huaxia Flying Tigers have a well-formed air combat team." tactics."

Yamaguchi's interest suddenly increased, and he nodded at Nishida Toru and said, "Then tell us now, what kind of tactics does Huaxia Flying Tigers use?"

"Hay."

Toru Nishida paused heavily and said: "Reporting to Your Excellency, the tactics of the Huaxia Air Force seem very simple on the surface, that is, to concentrate two or four fighter jets to deal with one fighter jet of the Imperial Army.

At the same time, the opponent often used sneak attack tactics, and did not compete with the Imperial Air Force too much in personal combat skills. ..."

"Using more to fight less, what kind of air combat tactic is this?"

Harada Uichiro shook his head and said confidently:

"Fighter fighters are flying too fast, and life and death are often instantaneous, especially in close combat, many times human consciousness simply has no time to react.

If you simply use more to fight less, not only will you not be able to form air superiority, but you may accidentally injure your own aircraft! "

Saburo Ando, ​​who hadn't spoken much, nodded at this moment and said: "Yes, the number of combat aircraft of the Empire is more than that of Huaxia fighters, and it is impossible to deliberately form a situation where more fighters fight fewer in large-scale air battles.

Once the fight starts, don't you have to compete with fighter performance and pilot combat quality in the end? "

These Air Force lieutenant generals have long since left the front line for actual combat, so their minds are still stuck in the time when they charged into battle, and they don't know much about the specific air combat tactics of the Flying Tigers.

Therefore, despite Nishida Toru's serious explanation and description, Harada Uichiro and other devil pilots still cannot understand the mystery.

Chapter 698

"Yoxi! This is indeed a piece of information worthy of attention!"

Yamaguchi Tamon vaguely understood Nishida Toru's words, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Nishida-kun, go back now and write down all the thoughts in your mind to form a formal written report.

Then tonight, I will gather all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Flying Division, the 2nd Flying Division, and the 3rd Flying Division to listen to your report!

Please be sure to pass on your flight combat experience and psychological experience to the officers and soldiers of the Air Force selflessly! "

Yamaguchi Tamon was highly valued and entrusted by Emperor Hirohito. Since he became the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Air Force, he has regarded the establishment of a powerful air force as the highest pursuit goal. .

"Hay!"

Nishida Toru nodded heavily again.

Nanjing Japanese Army Headquarters.

Hiso Nishio looked at the secret message in his hand, stared blankly at the military map in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, and Neiji Okamura soon walked into the office.

Hiso Nishio handed the telegram to Ningji Okamura and said, "Mr. Okamura, please read this first!"

Neiji Okamura took the secret telegram and read it. After reading it, his expression was silent, and he sighed softly: "Hey, the empire has come to this point after all.". ?

Hisao Nishio let out a long breath and said, "Yes, once this step is taken, the Empire of Japan will have no turning back.

Either create an unprecedented prosperity for the Yamato nation and climb to the top of the world, or it will be impossible to turn around again. There is no third possibility. "?

Okamura Ningji asked softly: "Which possibility does Nishio-kun think is more likely?"?

"Wars are always unpredictable, and it is often impossible to tell the winner until the last moment. In today's world of great conflict, the world has become chaotic, and various relationships and interests are intertwined. Anything can happen. I dare to say that the final What will be the result?"

Hiso Nishio shook his head lightly, and then said with condensed eyes: "But at present, although this step is very risky, it will bet on the entire national fortune of the Great Japanese Empire, but at the same time it is the best choice!"?

"Yes!"

Neiji Okamura sighed again, nodded and said: "Today, the troops stationed in Southeast Asia are mainly 10,000+ British troops from Malaysia and Burma, and [-] U.S. troops from Luzon Island.

These garrisons have no actual combat experience for a long time, and once the imperial army moves south, it will inevitably draw a large number of elite troops from the Huaxia battlefield.

These imperial armies have a wealth of actual combat experience, which is by no means comparable to that of the US and British armies. If there is no accident, the southern army will be able to sweep the entire southeast Asia within half a year.

The empire will be able to continuously obtain war materials such as crude oil, iron ore, tin ore, rubber, etc., as well as the wealth left by the western powers in Southeast Asia! "

Hisao Nishio nodded and said: "That's right, at that time the empire will be able to control extremely rich strategic resources, the empire's finances will be greatly eased, the empire's war potential will be multiplied, and the ability to compete with the United States will be greatly enhanced!"

Okamura Neiji continued: "The best state is that the base camp is determined enough to take advantage of the situation to capture Pearl Island and go south to occupy Australia, which is sparsely populated.

In this way, even though the United States has strong industrial strength, the U.S. Navy has no foothold in the Pacific Ocean.

If the U.S. Army wants to organize a counter-offensive, it must cross tens of thousands of nautical miles of the Pacific Ocean to carry out beach landings. From a military point of view, this is an impossible task.

In this way, the U.S. Army's counterattack can be prevented, and the Empire of Japan will remain invincible for a long time! "

"Yoshi! What Okamura-kun said is very true. As long as the empire occupies Australia, the US Army will lose the possibility of counterattacking from the Pacific Ocean!"

As he spoke, Hisao Nishio became excited: "By this time, the entire East will become the sphere of influence of the empire, and the great cause of the Great Japanese Empire will most likely be accomplished!"

"No, it's not that easy. The Americans will definitely use the Chinese army to counterattack from India and Burma!"

Neiji Okamura said quietly: "The victory or defeat of the India-Myanmar battlefield will determine the life and death of the empire, and the empire will inevitably invest heavily in the India-Myanmar battlefield at that time.

In order to keep the last channel of life in Myanmar, the Chinese government will definitely organize an expedition to Myanmar and India with elite soldiers, and the two sides will encounter an unprecedented decisive battle on the India-Myanmar battlefield! "

"Wow! As long as the Americans can be kept out, the empire will have a great chance of winning!"

Although Hisao Nishio is well aware of the situation in China's battlefield and has entered a stalemate, unless Japan mobilizes the whole country regardless of the cost to launch a war of destroying the country, otherwise China will not be destroyed at all, but he still looks down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

Speaking of this, Hisao Nishio's mood is getting better and better, and he said in a fierce tone: "So, the key to the empire's war against the United States is to raid the US Navy's Pacific Fleet.

As long as the US Navy's Pacific Fleet is eliminated, the entire Pacific Ocean will be under the control of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese Army will be able to attack Southeast Asia, Australia and even India without any scruples!

The imperial army will be invincible, invincible and invincible! "

Neiji Okamura nodded and said: "Now that we have come to this point, we must put aside all scruples, strive to seize the opportunity, and gain the first-hand advantage to the greatest extent, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Hisao Nishio nodded and said: "Mr. Okamura is right! I think it is necessary to report the situation we have considered to the Emperor to the headquarters. Once a move is made, the Empire must not miss the opportunity."

"Ok!"

Okamura Ningji nodded, and then said: "However, I think there is a big problem that should be solved before this!"

Hisao Nishio raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Okamura is talking about the Chinese Tiger Army entrenched in the Shandong Peninsula?"

"Who else but him?"

Okamura Ningji said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The empire has organized three encirclement campaigns, but each time it ended without a problem. This enemy is really terrible!

I have a very strong premonition that if we can't kill it at this stage, there will be endless troubles in the future, so I firmly believe that no matter how much it costs, it must be eradicated as soon as possible!

It's best to try to kill Yang Fan. This guy has an extraordinary power, and he is too great a threat to the empire and the imperial army. "

Hisao Nishio nodded and said: "That's right, originally I thought that the last encirclement and suppression campaign would definitely be able to cut off this powerful enemy, but I never thought that the Imperial Air Force would not be able to gain air supremacy.

After fighting for more than half a month, it turned out to be fruitless again, which is really unbelievable! "

Neiji Okamura answered, "That's right, the more it is like this, the more it can explain the problem. Therefore, I hope this time I can add this to the telegram to the headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor!"

Chapter 699

"Yo Xi! The Shandong Peninsula has an extremely important military location. The existence of the Huben Army has severely split the transportation hub of the empire and seriously threatened the Chinese ruled area of ​​the empire! It must be eradicated as soon as possible from any angle!"

Hisao Nishio nodded his head and said: "But if you want to solve this serious problem as soon as possible, the most important thing is the Imperial Japanese Air Force, not our Imperial Army!

If we don't have air supremacy, our army can't form a formation at all, and we will attack and encircle without any scruples! "

Speaking of this, Hisao Nishio felt extremely sad. Two months ago, the base camp issued an order to encircle and suppress Yang Fan, and appointed him as the commander of the No. 13 Army, responsible for leading the troops to attack the Huben Army from south to north.

At that time, Hiso Nishio was really full of ambition, and kept praising His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom.

However, the following plot surprised Hisao Nishio, and he is still a little confused until now. Why can't the Japanese Air Corps understand the air force of a mere local warlord?

"Yes, the air force is indeed very powerful in modern warfare, especially when the enemy has an air force."

Ningji Okamura nodded thoughtfully and said, "Nishio-kun, choosing a date is worse than hitting the sun, why don't we discuss it with Yamaguchi-kun now?"

Hisao Nishio and Neiji Okamura talked to each other, and the more they said it, the more they felt that it made sense. The two immediately took action and went to visit Air Force Commander-in-Chief Yamaguchi Tamon.

After hearing the intentions of Neiji Okamura and Hisao Nishio, Yamaguchi Tamon shook his head like a rattle, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "No, this is absolutely not possible!"

Hiso Nishio frowned slightly, and asked in displeasure, "Yamaguchi-san, don't you think that Yang Fan, a serious threat, should be eradicated as soon as possible? Don't you know how big a threat the Tiger and Ben army entrenched in the Shandong Peninsula is to the empire? "

"No!"

Shankou Duowen shook his head and said, "I wish to tear Yang Fan into pieces as much as you do, and annihilate all the Huaxia Huben Army!

However, the Air Force is currently a start-up, and it is far from having a crushing advantage in terms of fighter performance and pilot quality. If it forces a decisive battle with it, the Air Force will pay a heavy price. "

Hisao Nishio suppressed his anger and asked: "A heavy price? Yamaguchi-san, I really want to know how heavy a heavy price you said? Could it be that you can ignore the future and fate of the Japanese Empire just because you are afraid of a little damage?"

Facing the rhythmic questioning by Hisao Nishio, Yamaguchi Tamon felt very uncomfortable, but the other party was an army general anyway, so even if Yamaguchi Tamon was dissatisfied, he would naturally not show it.

Yamaguchi Tamon calmed down and said calmly: "Nishio-kun, Okamura-kun, the consequences are really serious, at least beyond your imagination."

Okamura Ningji frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Yamaguchi-kun, have you done any war games, can you tell me more about the situation?"

"That's right, war games have been played, and more than once."

Yamaguchi Tamon nodded seriously: "According to the comprehensive analysis of intelligence, the enemy currently has at least 700 advanced fighter jets, a powerful ground air defense force and a dense and efficient radar network!

The result of the final deduction is that in the best case, we will lose the strength of two divisions, and the worst result is the loss of more than four divisions! "

After a pause, Yamaguchi Tamon said with some sarcasm: "That is to say, at least 1200 combat aircraft will be lost, and the worst loss will exceed 2600 combat aircraft.

Nishio-kun and Okamura-kun, do you still think the Air Force is worth paying such a loss at this stage? "

"At least 1200 aircraft lost? Worst case over 2600?"

Hisao Nishio was dumbfounded, and was really terrified by this data. The total number of combat aircraft in the newly formed Japanese Air Force is only over 2500. Doesn’t this mean that the worst case is that the entire army is wiped out and there is no way to wipe out the Huaxia Flying Tigers? Team?

Neiji Okamura frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Yamaguchi-san, it's not that I don't believe your words, it's just that I don't know much about air combat.

I really don't understand. You just said that the Huaxia Air Force only has more than 700 fighter jets. The Imperial Air Force is currently at least three times that of the enemy. How could they cause the Imperial Air Force to lose more than four pilot regiments? "

"Yes."

Hisao Nishio nodded and said: "Even if you said that the performance of the enemy fighters is very superior, isn't the Imperial Air Force equipped with a large number of Zero fighters with extremely excellent performance?

Moreover, there are many experienced ace pilots in the Imperial Air Force, can they still compete with the warlord troops that occupy a corner? "

"Nishio-kun is right. The Imperial Zero fighter is indeed a very good fighter. As long as it rushes in close to the enemy plane, it can shoot down the enemy plane cleanly and neatly with its excellent maneuverability and powerful firepower."

Yamaguchi Tamon nodded, not hiding his love for the Zero fighter, but then changed the topic: "The key is that the speed of the enemy fighter is much faster than the Zero fighter, and they will not easily let the Imperial Air Force get close.

Moreover, the Huaxia Air Force has radar early warning and home court advantage. They can seize the opportunity in air combat and concentrate their superior forces anywhere to launch a surprise attack on the Imperial Air Force! "

"Aerial combat is no better than land combat. Often the most critical thing is a few minutes. In other words, it is very important to seize the opportunity, and it can even directly determine the outcome."

Yamaguchi Tamon then continued: "For example, if the Huaxia radar station detects the flight route and the number of aircraft of the Imperial Air Force in advance, then the Huaxia Air Force can dispatch combat aircraft in advance to set up an ambush at high altitude.

When the Imperial Air Force enters the ambush airspace, the Huaxia Air Force can launch a high-speed dive condescendingly.

At the moment of the exchange of fire, the Huaxia Air Force can cause us at least [-]% of the losses!

Especially when there are sunny days and the sun, the Huaxia Air Force can also use the sun's glare as a cover to attack the Imperial Air Force from the direction facing away from the sun, and the consequences will be even more serious. "

"Why don't you mention the favorable factors? Doesn't the empire also have a radar station? Isn't it also possible to detect the movement of the Huaxia Air Force in advance, although it cannot detect the entire Shandong Peninsula!"

Hisao Nishio was still very unconvinced, snorted and snorted: "What's more, your air force now has more than 2500 combat aircraft, and if you add the full support of the Imperial Navy Air Corps, you can have more than 6000 fighter jets.

In this case, the number of combat aircraft in the Empire will be at least 8 times that of the Huaxia Air Force. I don't believe that if 700 combat aircraft are dispatched together, a mere [-] Huaxia fighter jets can stop it? "
