Although this battle was just an ordinary night air raid for the entire Anti-Japanese War, its impact was quite long-term and huge. It even affected the direction of the entire war against Japan and the
Decision-making on certain aspects of the Anti-League.
The night air raid experience accumulated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance through this battle has cultivated a group of pilots who are familiar with night battles. Not only many of these tested pilots have become the backbone of the bombing force against Japan and commanders at all levels. There are also many
They became the leading instructors, and through their efforts they brought out a large number of pilots who were familiar with night bombing. They trained a large number of effective personnel for the bombing of Japan next year.
Coupled with the various new tactics practiced in this battle, as well as various new navigation and positioning equipment. These people use the United States and Britain to provide long-range bombers, which will bring disaster to Japan in the next few years.
A blow. Let the Japanese, who are still far away from the battlefield so far, know what real war is.
It taught the Japanese an unforgettable lesson, letting the Japanese know what real air strikes are. Let the Japanese know that good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It is not that they will not be repaid, it is just that the time has not come. As long as the Chinese have the strength in their hands
, the Chinese can do the same things they did. Tooth for tooth, eye for eye, this is the real answer the Chinese gave them for launching this war.
As for the current attempt to ensure the first large-scale night battle of the Anti-Alliance aviation force, not only in terms of technical means, but also as many support and technical support means as possible were adopted. A lot of painstaking efforts were also made in the selection of aircraft participating in the battle. Because Su
The instrumentation of the aircraft is relatively simple and backward. Not only the performance of the flight instruments is less accurate than that of the US-made aircraft, but many of the instruments necessary for instrument flight are not available. Therefore, the aircraft used for night bombing are all US-made A-II aircraft.
Zero attack aircraft.
Although this kind of twin-engine attack aircraft is relatively bulky compared with ordinary light bombers and dive bombers because of its large body, it is equipped with advanced aviation instruments and has thick skin and thick flesh. The fuselage has complete armor protection, which is generally
Small-caliber ground firepower is difficult to pose a threat to it.
Not only does it have a wide range of functions, it can carry out both dive bombing and horizontal bombing. The dual-engine design also ensures its strong survivability. Even if one engine is damaged, the remaining engine can still survive.
Return. Its maximum bomb load of 1,800 kilograms can not only meet the needs of ground attack, but also carry out tactical bombing.
The range of 1,750 kilometers, although it is a bit short for a bomber, is not as good as the Soviet bombers currently equipped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. But it is an attack aircraft whose main mission is to carry out battlefield interdiction and ground support.
, this voyage is quite sufficient.
Compared with the Su-2 light bomber equipped at the same time as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, although it has one more crew member, its equipment, range, bomb load, and especially its protective capabilities are far beyond what the fragile Su-2 bomber can compare with. In addition to the range
In addition, the rest of the performance is even better than that of the db three bomber, which is a full-time bomber.
At the same time, its powerful self-defense firepower and maximum level flight speed that is almost as fast as the current Japanese Zero fighter jet also give it a relatively strong survivability on the battlefield. For the counter-Union aviation, this aircraft is much faster than the
The Soviet-made Su-2 light bomber, which lacks armor, and the slightly bulky db-3 bomber are much more popular.
This ground attack aircraft with excellent performance was deeply loved by the Anti-Allied aviation forces throughout the Anti-Japanese War. Even the excellent B-25 bomber provided by the Americans starting in 1942 was far less popular. The United States
Of the similar aircraft and subsequent modifications produced by the People's Liberation Army, one-third of them were donated to the Anti-League despite the efforts of the Anti-League.
As for some of the Blenheim bombers aided by the British, they were far less popular than this type of aircraft. After the Mosquito fighter-bombers entered large-scale service, the British not only aided some Blenheim bombers in the Anti-Japanese War.
Under the coordination of the Americans, most of the attack aircraft they equipped were transferred to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
This type of aircraft was the most popular model among the aircraft provided to the Anti-Japanese War by the United States and Britain after the outbreak of the Pacific War. Its popularity even reached the level of the aircraft designer himself who visited Northeast China in 1943.
They never thought that the aircraft they designed, which even the US Army was unwilling to adopt, would receive such attention from the Chinese.
After arriving in the Northeast, the designer was stunned when he saw the Anti-Japanese Alliance pilot flying this relatively heavy twin-engine attack aircraft in a maneuver that even a single-engine aircraft would not dare to do. A. The 20 aircraft is sturdy.
The airframe and powerful engine allow this aircraft to exert its maximum performance in the anti-cooperation battle.
Even for a period of time, the Anti-Japanese Federation used this aircraft as a heavy fighter. Not only did this aircraft bear the heavy responsibility of air defense in key areas, it also used its relatively large body and some spare engine power.
, improved it into many special operations aircraft. It was even equipped with a light radar and transformed into a night air defense combat command aircraft.
These American-made aircraft, together with the Il-II attack aircraft produced by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the TBF and SBD used by the US-aided navy, which were originally carrier-based but are now converted into dive bombers, constituted the entire Anti-Japanese War aviation force.
The main force for ground support during this period.
Subsequently, the Il-4 bombers that were put into production by the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the B-25 bombers partially supported by the United States became the main force of the Anti-Alliance aviation for tactical bombing. At the same time, because of their long range, the Il-4 bombers were inferior to the B-17 bombers and the B-25 bombers.
Twenty-Four Bombers, these two long-range bombers also participated in the bombing of Japan before arriving in Northeast China.
Especially the Il-4 bombers. On the second day after the Pearl Harbor incident, in order to show support to the Americans, the Anti-Japanese Alliance dispatched almost 74 Il-4 bombers that could be used, carrying more than 60 tons of napalm bombs.
and explosive bombs. In conjunction with the electronic warfare aircraft modified by thirteen db three bombers, the Anti-Japanese Alliance launched the first air raid on the Japanese mainland against Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
These bombs dropped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance became the first batch of anti-personnel bombs to fall on the Japanese mainland. Although it was three years later than the Japanese air strikes on the Japanese mainland, the bombs that fell on the Japanese mainland were all real bombs, not ** bombs.
Those pieces of paper. The number of aircraft dispatched is not comparable to that of Japan, which only dispatched two American-made B-10 bombers.
On the surface, this air raid was carried out to respond to the U.S. troops who were being beaten on the battlefield in the Pacific. In fact, this air raid was carried out by the Anti-Japanese Alliance to obtain more assistance. It also officially kicked off the four-year air raid against Japan. From that day on
, the scale of the Anti-Alliance bombing against Japan gradually increased with the arrival of bombers assisted by the United States and Britain. The targets of the bombing gradually spread from Tokyo to all corners of Japan.
With this actual statement from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Americans naturally understood it. A week after the Anti-Japanese Alliance's first air raid on Japan, the US military sent thirty-six B-17 bombers stationed in the Philippine Far East Air Force, as well as those just transferred from the mainland.
Later, seventy B-17 bombers and twenty-four B-24 bombers originally used to defend the Dutch East Indies were flown by US military pilots and flew to the Northeast through the Dutch East Indies and India and were transferred to the Anti-Japanese War.
Union.
At the same time, when its own production was still insufficient, in order to ensure the resistance against the Allied bombing of Japan and reduce its own pressure, the British were also mobilized to put the Stirling, which had begun to retreat to the second line, into service after the Lancaster heavy bomber was put into service.
Heavy bombers, Manchester bombers, and Wellington bombers provided assistance to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Before the arrival of US-made long-range bombers, they supplemented the Anti-Alliance's lack of long-range bombers for air strikes against Japan.
In the eyes of the Americans, the performance of the Il-4, the current main long-range bomber of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, is too backward. It is too backward in terms of bomb load and protection for the cross-sea bombing of Japan. Its own bomber production is not enough.
Under such circumstances, the United Kingdom, which has begun mass production of new bombers with excellent performance, naturally became the first choice.
The British are naturally not good people. On the one hand, they need the Anti-Japanese Alliance to weaken the war potential of the Japanese army to ensure the security of British India and British Australia. On the other hand, they also use this matter to bargain with the Americans. In the end, the United States and Britain do not know
What agreement was reached, after the British army completed the thousand-plane bombing of Cologne in May 1942?
From mid-June to the end of July, the British successively transferred more than 300 Stirling bombers, 100 Wellington bombers, 40 Halifax bombers, and a second batch of bombers to the Anti-Japanese Alliance in India.
One hundred and sixty Hurricane fighter aircraft, including all Stirling bombers and forty Halifax bombers, were all transferred in July.
Many of these bombers were directly drawn from the British mainland or even from the North African battlefield. Especially the bombers drawn from the North African battlefield were still painted in desert paint. However, for the Anti-Japanese Alliance who urgently needed long-range bombers, the British
The transfer of human planes is never something you should worry about.
After completing the conversion flight training in just two months, which surprised the British, these bombers began bombing Japan after they all arrived in Northeast China in September of that year. The British began bombing Japan in 1943.
All Stirling bombers still in service were transferred to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
This batch of British-made bombers, before the American B-17 and B-24 bombers began to arrive in Northeast China in large numbers in early 1943. Especially in 1942, they undertook the main task of the anti-Japanese bombing. Of course, these things are still
The words came three months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
At present, after adopting various technical means to ensure the excellent performance of this American-made attack aircraft and having a rough direction, the Anti-Japanese Alliance mainly uses napalm bombs and other area-killing weapons for night bombing. Instead of
Ordinary explosive anti-personnel bombs are actually point-kill weapons.
For the Seventh Division, this night did not allow them to breathe a sigh of relief because of the protection of the night. For the Seventh Division and their colleagues on the Tongliao battlefield, this night still allowed those who survived on the battlefield to
Japanese soldiers, a horrific night of hell that will never be forgotten.
Not only did the Anti-Alliance bombing operations not stop because of the fall of night. On the contrary, because of the night, the threat of the Anti-Alliance aviation from its few anti-aircraft guns was further reduced. The Anti-Alliance napalm bombs made the seventh
The division's nightmare continues.
A single napalm bomb can ignite a mountain where the Japanese troops are hiding. A formation of twelve bombers used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, after sorting out the previous formation with explosive bombs, followed up by dropping sixty one-shot bombs.
One hundred and fifty kilograms of napalm bombs can turn the entire battlefield into a sea of flames.
