It's just that these are still suspicions. The real situation still needs to be strictly investigated. Before the investigation is clear, no conclusion can be drawn easily. Otherwise, it will only hurt one's own comrades. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to have today's conversation.
That's the end of it. All conclusions will be drawn after the investigation is completed.
Yang Zhen raised his head and said to Fang Ziyi and Yuan Bin: "You go back first and immediately find out the cause of the radar failure. Based on today's battle situation and possible plans for the Japanese army's next move, come up with it as soon as possible.
A detailed combat draft and troop deployment adjustment plan are coming, I will personally review them later."
"This time, we need to prepare a plan for the shortcomings and shortcomings that emerged in today's battle, and prepare a few more contingency plans. In terms of troop deployment, we need to make appropriate and targeted adjustments. In fact, air combat and ground combat
, there is no essential difference in tactical application."
"The difference between air combat and ground combat is just that the combat space and equipment are different, and the reliance on the advancement of equipment is higher. I think some of the army's tactics can also be used in air combat. The difference between the two
The gap is not absolute."
"When formulating a new combat plan, think more about the comparison between the enemy's and our own forces, as well as the performance of the aircraft. Although you are all pilots, you were all full-fledged infantrymen before. In terms of qualifications, you are all from the old Red Army.
.The tactics we used during the Red Army period are not necessarily useless in the air."
"Another point, I want to make it clear to you. Radar is a good thing, it can be said to be clairvoyance. We can use radar to cooperate in air combat, but we must not rely on radar's command. We must give full play to the pilot's subjective initiative
, and creativity, don’t tie them tightly to the belt of the ground command.”
"The more important role of radar is to provide early warning and long-range reconnaissance. In air combat, it mainly relies on the performance of commanders at all levels and the pilot's own ability. In terms of command, radar only plays a role
The role of a clairvoyant is more of an early warning. So when you are in combat, you cannot rely too much on radar and limit the pilot's own capabilities."
"As for now, you immediately organize the pilots who have been rescued. Immediately transfer a transport plane and send it to the rear overnight to receive the new aircraft. You go to the chief of staff and ask him to issue an order to the logistics department to remove the aircraft from the inventory.
We will replenish a batch for you as quickly as possible.
"You have to remember that before we regain foreign aid and our own aviation industry starts, our inventory of aircraft is limited. We cannot continue to consume it endlessly. According to today's strategy, our blood will be exhausted sooner or later.
.But this does not require you to tie your hands and not let go in command. As commanders, you must find a good balance in the middle."
After hearing these orders from Yang Zhen, Fang Ziyi said quickly: "No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 had already asked the Logistics Department and the Aviation Equipment Department to transfer a group of reserve fighter jets from the rear when the Japanese army made changes the day before yesterday.
It is currently stored in Acheng and several backup secret airports in the north of Harbin. It has been completely overhauled and is ready for combat at any time."
"When the rescued pilots return to Harbin, I will immediately arrange for them to receive them. In addition, after the air battle this afternoon, while the ground troops were searching for and rescuing our downed pilots, they discovered an emergency landing aircraft in Shuangcheng. It seemed to be intact.
The Zero fighter."
"On the fuselage of this fighter jet, there was almost no damage except for a smashed tail and some damage to the elevator. However, the pilot of this Zero Fighter died on the spot because his neck was broken due to the huge impact during the emergency landing.
.Otherwise, based on the so-called bushido spirit of Japanese pilots, it would be difficult for us to capture such a complete aircraft."
"It is estimated that this pilot must be a novice who entered the battlefield for the first time. He was blindfolded on the battlefield and mistook the area near the Songhua River in Shuangcheng as the Japanese-occupied area south of the Songhua River and made an emergency landing. But this aircraft
Although the aircraft was slightly damaged, its smashed tail and elevator can be completely repaired using the zero-war wreckage we collected during the spring battle, as well as the parts from the zero-war wreckage collected in this battle.
"
"After receiving the news, I have dispatched the best maintenance personnel and the best instructor from the aviation school as quickly as possible, and rushed to the front line of the Shuangcheng City with the previously collected parts.
.I hope that before the Japanese army discovers it, this rare fighter that seems to be complete and can be completely repaired can be snatched back."
"With this aircraft, we can better understand the Zero War, the Japanese aircraft that currently poses the greatest threat to us, and at the same time, we can more effectively formulate a set of targeted tactics. I think as long as we can understand this
With the true capability of zero combat, they will no longer be a threat to us."
"I have always believed that the US-made fighter jets we have in our hands are not completely incapable of fighting against zero combat. It's just that apart from figuring out the approximate performance of zero combat in actual combat, we have never thoroughly understood the performance of zero combat.
We need to understand the comprehensive performance of Zero War. As long as we can truly understand them, we can still find ways to deal with them."
"In addition to this Zero Fighter, there is also a Japanese German-made Mei fighter and a Type 96 fighter that were also deceived. They regard our airports in Shuangcheng and Harbin South as their bases. They have now been
Our army captured them all. It's just a pity that we didn't get their new fighter jets."
Regarding Fang Ziyi's report, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said: "You can think of the past, which means that you are thinking about the problem very far-reaching. Now that we have obtained the physical object, we must get it back as soon as possible and conduct a test flight as soon as possible.
If you need anything, you can go directly to the chief of staff, or you can come directly to me."
"However, whether it is being rushed back, or during the test flight, or during actual combat exercises with our military's standard aircraft, we must pay attention to strict confidentiality. Not only must we prevent the Japanese from knowing that we have one of their new aircraft in our hands, but we may
destruction."
"For other people, whether they are Americans or Jiangbei, they must be kept absolutely confidential and must not be leaked. Especially for Americans, the strictest confidentiality must be kept. Go to Chen Bo and ask him to mobilize it for you.
The most advantageous personnel will closely monitor the entire process. During the test flight, the airport must be chosen well. When transferring the aircraft, try to fly directly to the airport as much as possible instead of taking the land route."
"And when you are collecting the remains of Japanese fighter planes, you should pay attention to their new fighter jets, which are the fighter jets you mentioned that are very similar to the Zero Fighter. See if you can assemble one for us to fight against.
Exercise. Judging from the battle results reported by you, this new Japanese fighter jet has a similar appearance to the Zero Fighter, but its survivability is much better."
"When shot down, there are rarely explosions in the air. And our air battles with the Japanese army mostly occur in the low and medium airspace where they can exert their best performance. Therefore, even if it is shot down, the body of its aircraft may not be completely destroyed.
Destroyed. We can look for some and see if we can put one together."
Fang Ziyi was somewhat confused about Yang Zhen's order to keep Americans strictly confidential. At present, the Anti-Japanese Alliance is very close to the Americans. There are many American experts and technicians not only in the industrial sector, but also in the aviation force.
Among them, there are also a large number of American flight instructors.
Before this battle started, No. 1 had said in private that the United States and Japan would definitely have a war. But when the Americans were not ready for war, they still needed the Anti-Japanese Alliance to share Japan's military pressure.
, at least now the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Americans are still half allies.
Although they didn’t understand what No. 1 meant by half an ally, this was the first time the two of them had heard of such a thing as half an ally, but he still knew that the enemy of his enemy was his friend. No matter where these Americans came from,
What kind of thoughts do you have, but now you are helping the Anti-Japanese War after all.
And in his opinion, allowing American instructors in the base area to participate in the test flights will not only help them understand the performance of this aircraft more quickly, but also allow the Americans to target the weaknesses of Zero War and target the aircraft currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The P39 fighter and P40 fighter have undergone some targeted improvements.
The two main combat aircraft currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance are both manufactured by the Americans. After understanding the performance of the most elite fighters in the hands of the enemy, the Americans should have the most say on how to improve them. But now No. 1
He was required to keep strict confidentiality even with Americans, which somewhat made him unable to understand the true intention of No. 1.
Looking at Fang Ziyi and Yuan Bin who were a little confused after hearing his last strictly confidential order, Yang Zhen smiled and did not give any explanation. This was not just because of the reasons on the battlefield;
External reasons. To put it bluntly, they are some intrigues outside the battlefield. And for the future development of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, reasons outside the battlefield occupy more positions.
In Yang Zhen's opinion, if the Americans could figure out the true performance of this fighter jet before the Pacific War started. Although Southeast Asia may not be able to be saved, the Americans and British would undoubtedly suffer far greater losses on the battlefield.
The history is lighter than the one you know. This result is obviously not in line with the current interests of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Although fighting on the ground, whether it was the British army or the US military at this time, was far from the opponent of the Japanese army in terms of combat effectiveness. Even if the performance of zero combat is clearly known, in the vast land of Southeast Asia, even the third-rate level
The U.S. and British colonial armies, which could not reach the same level, would not be a match for the Japanese ground forces.
And their bulky Buffalo fighter jets were no match for the Japanese in a zero-fight battle. At this time, whether it was the British Far East Air Force or the U.S. Army and Navy aviation forces stationed in Southeast Asia, including the Dutch Far East Air Force, which had already fallen in its homeland, the main fighter equipment was still
American-made F-2 Buffalo fighter jets, as well as old-fashioned P-35 and P-36 fighter jets.
At this time, he was badly beaten by the German Desert Fox on the North African battlefield and was driven back to Egypt from Libya. Even the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Egypt and the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Desert Group Army were confused and became prisoners. On the North African battlefield
Coupled with the huge losses caused by the previous Greek battle, the British were very anxious at the moment.
The Hurricane and Spitfire, which performed well on the Anglo-German battlefield, were too busy even to take care of the North African battlefield. There were no idle aircraft transferred to the Far Eastern battlefield where Japanese bayonets were stuck under their noses. The British Far East Air Force deployed in Southeast Asia is currently equipped with
The US-made F-2 Buffalo fighter jets were eliminated from the battlefields of Europe and North Africa. There were only a few Hurricanes and Spitfires that could barely compete with the Zero Fighter.
