Although Yang Zhen does not want to pour cold water on these two capable subordinates, it is impossible not to explain some things clearly. If the consumption rate continues at this rate today, and the tactics adopted by the Japanese army are allowed to continue, it will not work.
In a few days, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will have to rely on ground anti-aircraft firepower in the upcoming Jiang defense operation.
There are still many old-fashioned fighter jets that the Japanese army can use to fight against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as well as German-made fighter jets whose performance has been figured out by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. You shot down some today, and they can send some to you tomorrow. But the Anti-Japanese Alliance
The loss is one less than one lost. At least in a short period of time, it is difficult to obtain replacements.
Judging from today's battle loss rate, the vitality and blood of the troops assigned to this air defense mission will be exhausted in a short time. If you want to continue to maintain a stable air defense line, then you can only
It can ignore the war situation in other aspects, especially the war situation in Western Manchuria, and mobilize additional troops from other places to participate in the war.
But Yang Zhen is undoubtedly very unwilling to see this situation. For him, the current battle situation in Western Manchuria is crucial. Not a single soldier there can be transferred, let alone ensuring that Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang do not
The aviation force that is threatened by the air must not only not be weakened in any way, but also must be strengthened to a certain extent.
This river defense operation affects the life and death of tens of thousands of the entire Anti-Japanese Army south of the Songhua River, as well as the autumn harvest of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in the north of the Yangtze River. It can be said to be extremely important. The situation in the Western Manchurian War is also the result of the Anti-Japanese Army's southward campaign.
The most important thing. These two battle situations are both life and death battles. It is not easy for Yang Zhen to choose which one.
Therefore, in Yang Zhen's view, although there were many tactical loopholes in the Songhua River defense operation, it could still be regarded as a victory. After all, the number of enemy planes shot down did not matter. But in terms of strategy,
However, the aviation force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance lost the battle. Before the main force was dispatched, they lost nearly one-third of their troops. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.
Looking at the two top military and political officers of the aviation force in front of him who clearly didn't know where they were wrong, Yang Zhen sighed slightly and said: "We did win this battle tactically. And from the perspective of the battle between the enemy and ourselves,
Judging from the loss ratio, the win can be said to be quite good. But I can tell you clearly here that strategically we lost. Although we haven't lost the pants yet, we have definitely lost."
Yang Zhen didn't look at the confused expressions on the two people's faces after hearing what he said, and said straight to the point: "In this battle, it is true that we are far ahead in terms of the ratio of losses between the enemy and ourselves. But have you considered it?
, we lost nearly one-third of our troops in the first battle, what adverse impact will it have on our next air defense operations? If this happens again, how much strength do you have to face the Japanese army's latest zero-war?
"
"Furthermore, among all the fighter planes lost by the Japanese army, there are only a few of the latest zero-fighter aircraft that pose the greatest threat to our army. Most of the Japanese aircraft shot down by you in air battles are old-fashioned fighter planes. As well as our
Its performance has long been understood, and even many of your senior commanders have flown German-made fighter jets. Even if these aircraft are all shot down by you, what is the use?"
"You don't think that the number of Japanese troops mobilized to the Northeast to participate in the Zero War is only thirty-six? Do you think this is possible? Since the Japanese naval aviation has already participated in the war, it already has a good understanding of the performance of our military's combat aircraft.
Under this situation, only a few new fighter jets are dispatched, and the old Type 96 fighter jets are still used as the main force to participate in the war. Is this common sense?"
"You know, last year the Japanese army used zero combat instead of Type 96 fighter jets to engage in air combat with the Nationalist Government. Facing the more outdated Soviet-made I-5 and I-6 fighter jets in the air of the Nationalist Government, the Japanese army was still willing to spend this much money.
.On the contrary, they are fighting against our military’s newer American-made and Soviet-made fighter jets, but they are sending classic aircraft as the main force in the war. Is this consistent with common sense?”
"The Japanese army is playing Tian Ji horse racing tactics with us. They use their old aircraft and a small number of new fighter jets to drain our blood bit by bit. Then they dispatch a large number of zero-fighters. This kind of excellent performance fighter jets, in one fell swoop,
Completely defeat your remaining fighter force."
"This is why I said we won tactically, but lost strategically. The Japanese fought very smartly in this battle, hiding the zero battle until the last moment. They used old-fashioned fighter jets before,
They grinded against us bit by bit. Not only that, the Japanese army also accurately caught some of our deployment mistakes, which caused us such serious losses."
"You have two fatal loopholes in your entire deployment and subsequent operational adjustments. The Japanese army's zero battle fully exploited this loophole of yours, and it can be said that they successfully achieved what they planned before.
Predetermined combat objectives.”
"Now that you know that the Japanese army will dispatch new fighter jets to participate in the war, why didn't you make preparations in advance? Among the first two batches of fighter jets that the Japanese army put into the battlefield, although there was no zero battle, it does not mean that you did not prepare these Japanese troops in advance.
The best-performing fighter jets may appear on the battlefield at any time and be mentally prepared.”
"As you know about the performance of the Zero fighter, in addition to the excellent combat performance that Japanese fighter jets have always had, the biggest advantages are its long range and high speed. Even if they are the last batch of combat aircraft to be put into the battlefield, they will still use their best performance.
They can quickly reach wherever they think they should be. Its long range allows them to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible without any scruples."
"I have taken a look at your entire combat deployment and actions, and there are huge loopholes in them. There is a disconnect in the entire combat deployment. It should be said that your overall performance was pretty good when fighting the first two batches of Japanese aircraft.
The biggest flaw, and also the most fatal flaw, occurred precisely in the thirty-six Zero Fighters that posed the greatest threat to our army and were the third batch of Japanese aircraft with the best performance to arrive on the battlefield."
"You didn't even notice the third batch of Zero Wars coming over from the Japanese army before they arrived at the battlefield, and you didn't take any precautions. It wasn't until Zero Wars swooped down from a high altitude and shot down two of our fighter jets that you
Aware of zero combat at high altitude."
"Facing a zero-to-zero battle with extremely excellent horizontal performance, despite losing altitude, you never reversed the passive situation in subsequent battles. Most of the lost fighter jets were shot down for this reason.
.If you had kept the MiG-3 fighter jets with excellent high-altitude performance on high-altitude alert when fighting the first two batches of Japanese aircraft, then at least half of these losses could have been avoided."
"In this battle, the Japanese army mobilized the navy to participate in the war. The military region has already forwarded it to you. During the entire battle, you were still confused by the tactics adopted by the Japanese army. This can be said to be quite a big problem.
A mistake that can even be fatal."
"At the beginning of the battle, Zero Fighters did not appear on the battlefield for the time being. And their temporary absence does not mean that they will not appear on the battlefield. Since the Japanese army has mobilized Zero Fighters to participate in the war, they will not let them stay in the base.
Elderly care. You should be mentally prepared for this before the battle begins."
"But what did you do? Seeing that Zero War did not appear on the battlefield, you relaxed your vigilance. All the MiG fighter jets that were on guard at high altitudes were withdrawn. Instead, they were attacked by the Japanese army. We were supposed to have the upper hand at high altitudes.
In the battle, the Japanese army took the lead."
"I have emphasized to you more than once that the enemy who has appeared on the battlefield is not scary, but the enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying. Because you don't know when or how he will appear on the battlefield.
On the battlefield. In battle, as long as the enemy has not played all his cards, he must not let down his guard."
"In this battle, especially in the subsequent battle against the Zero, you took it too much for granted. There were too many loopholes in your deployment, and these loopholes of yours were all caught by the Japanese army.
, suffered a considerable amount of losses that should have been avoided."
"This time when troops are being mobilized for river defense and air defense operations, I have repeatedly told you to cooperate well with the ground radar stations. Timely transfer information and enemy information to each other, but you are still unfamiliar with the cooperation. If you are more skilled,
The information returned by the radar station should be processed in a timely manner. The losses incurred during the war with Zero can be completely avoided."
"It's not that we don't have excellent high-altitude fighters. The low-altitude performance of the MiG-3 can only be said to be average, or even poor, but it is a high-altitude fighter with extremely excellent performance. It can fight in high-altitude areas where zero combat is extremely bad.
There is no problem in fighting the Type Zero."
"But before the Japanese army has completely withdrawn from the battlefield and zero warfare has not appeared, why don't you leave some MiG-3 fighter jets at high altitude as air security? Instead, all the MiG-3 fighter jets participating in the war are put into combat in the airspace they are least adapted to.
?With those who are good at fighting
"When the MiG-3 fighter jets with the shortest combat range return home, why don't they send fighter jets to cover them? You are very aware of the characteristics of the MiG-3 fighter jets' short range and short stay in the air. This should be taken into consideration in advance when deploying for combat operations.
Before the MiG-3 fighter planes withdraw from the battlefield, new forces should be mobilized to replace them, and some reserve forces should be deployed to cover them."
"If we want to make up for today's losses, we can only mobilize troops from the rear to cover the military industrial base, or deploy troops from other theaters to make up for it. But these two options are undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous for us.
"Don't forget, in addition to fighter units, the Japanese army also has a large number of bombers. Moreover, its light and heavy bombers are fully equipped and numerous."
"Mobilizing troops from other directions and investing them here will bring great impact and losses to the troops on other fronts. Especially the most critical battlefield in Western Manchuria, without air cover and support, it is almost like Wang Guangyu is fighting alone.
Like Chen Hanzhang, if you are not careful, you will be devoured by the surrounding Japanese wolves."
"If the air defense forces in the rear areas are mobilized to participate in the war, what should we do if the Japanese army bombs our rear military industrial bases? Do we just rely on the insufficient anti-aircraft artillery units that have been mobilized to both sides of the Songhua River? Our rear industrial bases also need to
No more?"
"But if we don't add new troops to you, then once the Japanese army's tactics are successfully used, first clear our air defense line, and then attack the Songhua River embankment, what can we do to fight against their possible overwhelming bomber group? You should know
, once this conspiracy of the Japanese army succeeds, what huge price will we pay."
