It's just that compared with the implementation of the education agreement, it was relatively smooth, but the implementation of the exchange of aviation technology was still stumbling. It was as if the Soviets, who were very troublesome if they didn't take advantage, always played tricks when implementing the agreement.
You have to wipe some oil to be willing.
Except for the Lager III fighter jets in the agreement, most of which have been handed over to the second-line fighters in the Soviet army, and the handover was relatively smooth, the implementation of other aspects was not happy. It was not the time of delivery.
Going to Totorala means that the quantity is not consistent with the content of the agreement.
As for the agreement on the exchange of aviation technology, Yang Zhen was originally quite annoyed with the Soviets for refusing to provide better-performing Yak-1 fighter jets as a temporary replacement. However, the pressure on the front line was increasing, and the British-made Hurricane fighter jets really could not afford it.
Under the heavy responsibility, we finally chose to receive this batch of Lager III fighter jets as a transition.
There is no way that although the ground has entered a state of truce, everyone is licking their wounds and accumulating strength to prepare for the next bloody battle. But in the air, air battles large and small have never subsided. Since the end of the battle, the entire Northeast and North China battlefields,
A situation of cold war on the ground and hot war in the air was formed.
In order to eliminate the bases where the Anti-Japanese Alliance bombed Japan, the Japanese army completely nipped the Anti-Japanese air raids in the bud. As well as completely solving the Northeast base area, the large-scale industrial construction currently underway hindered the development of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and weakened it.
The continuous combat capability of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
After the Southeast Asian battlefield entered a period of stability, the Japanese army deployed almost most of its Army Air Forces deployed in the Pacific and returned to the Northeast and North China battlefields, with the focus being the Northeastern battlefield. The Japanese Army deployed its Army Air Forces in South Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula.
Nearly half of the troops.
At the same time, as the Japanese Army Air Force shifted its main force to the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese Kwantung Army, feeling that its waist was getting tougher again, continued to dispatch large numbers of bombers in an attempt to penetrate deep into the rear of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to destroy the Anti-Alliance bomber base. Of course, the Anti-Japanese Alliance had already begun
The oil fields and steel industry bases in trial operation, as well as the railway lines in the rear areas.
After the Anti-Resistance Alliance shifted to full-line defense, the fighting on the ground cooled down. But over the entire Northeast region, fierce air battles broke out almost every day. The number of troops invested by both sides ranged from a dozen at the beginning to dozens.
, to the last hundreds.
Moreover, as the strategic focus of the Japanese Army Aviation gradually begins to shift to the Chinese battlefield, the types and numbers of new Japanese Army aircraft put into the Chinese battlefield are also constantly increasing. Not only various types of Japanese Army Type 1 fighter jets are prioritized for use in Northeast China
Battlefield. The latest Type II fighter jets were first equipped by the Korean Army and the Kwantung Army.
Compared with having fought several times before, although the Japanese army invested in an improved model this time, it was still a familiar Type 1 and Type 2 high-altitude and high-speed interceptor aircraft, but this was the first time the Anti-Japanese Alliance had fought against it. And faced with
Because the engine was not in proportion to the body and the shape was a little strange, it was nicknamed "Fat-Headed Fish" by the anti-Japanese coalition flight personnel.
Its performance is completely different from that of the Japanese Army's previous fighter jets, which focused more on air combat performance. The Anti-Alliance aviation force, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses in many air battles. In the past, Japanese aircraft focused on mid- and low-altitude combat performance.
, high-altitude performance is generally poor.
But this kind of aircraft is quite different. Not only does it have excellent high-altitude performance, but it is also the fastest among Japanese aircraft. Its climb rate is also the fastest among Japan's active fighters. Although its combat performance is somewhat worse, its speed is
But it is unmatched by Japanese fighter jets in the past.
In the air battle and air defense operations of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Hurricane fighter, which was already barely able to cope with the basic model of Type 1 fighter jets, was really unable to compete with the Type 1 improved fighter jets that the Japanese army invested heavily in, and the Type 2 Zhongkui fighter jets that subsequently entered air combat.
Even if the British urgently provided a batch of Hurricane II C fighter jets, they still could not compete with the Zhongkui fighter jets and the Type II fighter jets. Although Yang Zhen expected such a rapid strategic transformation of the Japanese army, the Army Aviation Force it invested
The intensity was beyond Yang Zhen's expectation.
Originally, according to the tactics formulated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Hurricane fighter jets, which were mainly responsible for Japanese bombers in air battles, were simply no match for such Japanese aircraft. They could not defeat them. As for the Hurricanes, which ran nearly a hundred kilometers per hour slower than their top speed,
It can't even run.
The only thing that everyone has similar performance is that the legs of this aircraft are not much longer than that of a hurricane. In terms of combat radius, everyone is 50 paces away and a hundred paces away, and no one is better than anyone else. With the control area of the Anti-Japanese Alliance,
It is constantly expanding, and the front line is getting further and further away from the rear area of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In addition, after the Japanese Army Air Force arrived in South Manchuria and North Korea, due to the continuous tactical bombing by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they did not dare to deploy combat aircraft too far forward. Therefore, although this aircraft is the best high-altitude performance fighter of the Japanese army so far,
However, the time in the air is still the biggest shortcoming of this kind of aircraft. The time in the air is short and it cannot stay in the theater for too long. This prevents it from causing too heavy losses to the aviation forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
But even though the duration of each air battle is not long, this kind of aircraft is not something that the Hurricane fighter can fight against. Everyone's fighting skills are about the same, but their speed is nearly 100 kilometers faster. Moreover, the climb rate and maximum ceiling are not that of the Hurricane fighter.
Can be compared.
Not to mention the old Type 2B, even the latest Type 2C is no match for them. Because these two aircraft use the same engine, the biggest difference is the weapons they are equipped with. As for performance,
There is not much change, that is to say, the soup is basically changed, but the dressing is not changed.
In desperation, the Anti-Japanese Alliance could only transfer some of the remaining MiG-3 fighter jets that had been reduced to negligible numbers and were extremely difficult to maintain. They were preparing to transfer them to reserves and seal them up, and then re-invite them out to take advantage of the excellent high-altitude performance of this aircraft.
, versus Type II fighters.
After negotiating with the Americans to no avail, Yang Zhen finally had no choice but to choose Yak fighter jets as the main fighter in the subsequent fight for air supremacy. He received these Lager III fighter jets as a transition before the Yak IX arrived, competing with the Japanese in the mid- and low-altitude areas.
air control.
Although the performance of these Lager III fighter jets is not ideal, before the arrival of the new fighter jets promised by the Soviet Union, they can at least compete with the late Type 1 fighter jets and the newly invested Type 2 fighter jets from the Japanese army. Of course, the confrontation with the Type 2 fighter jets can only be fought at medium and low altitudes.
, this kind of Lager III fighter jet is also no match at high altitude.
Shortly after the arrival of these Soviet-made fighter jets, a large-scale air battle broke out, which made Yang Zhen feel lucky that he chose to compromise and did not continue to confront the Soviets. If it were not for the outstanding performance of the Lager III fighter jets,
I'm afraid that the air battle might have had another outcome.
Before the arrival of this batch of Lager III fighter jets, the original main fighter of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the P-40B fighter jet, was simply no match for the Type 1 and Type 2 fighter jets. When the maximum level flight speeds were the same, whether it was climb rate or
The dive performance cannot compete with this kind of fighter. The only advantage is the firepower density and the sturdiness of the body is higher than that of Japanese aircraft.
The originally equipped Hurricane and P-40 fighter jets were not only very difficult to fight against the two new Japanese fighter jets, but the battle damage rate was also quite high. It can be said that after these two new Japanese fighter jets were put into the battlefield, the resistance against the Allied Forces
Air supremacy was under considerable threat.
In order to completely destroy the several aviation bases of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Jiamusi, the Japanese Army Air Force, which was pressed heavily with troops, changed its previous dispatch of small fleets in early October and focused more on weakening the Anti-Japanese Alliance fighter group. It adopted a large-scale cluster dispatch.
, the method of multiple batches of air strikes.
During this air attack, the Kwantung Army's aviation force was dispatched in full force, dispatching more than 120 bombers at once. In addition to the Type 97 medium bombers, which were already familiar faces to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the latest bombers were also dispatched.
The Type 100 bomber was a heavy bomber. Moreover, this aircraft was slightly more advanced than the Type 97 bomber, and even accounted for nearly half of the Japanese bomber fleet.
Behind this batch of medium bombers, there are more than 70 Type 99 dive bombers, Type 99 twin-engine light bombers, and Type 97 light bombers as the second bombing echelon. This batch of dive bombers and light bombers are mainly
The mission is to attack various airports where the Anti-Alliance fighter groups are located.
The number of bombers it invested accounted for almost two-thirds of the entire Japanese Army Air Force in the Chinese battlefield. All of the so-called heavy bombers were drawn back from Southeast Asia and the Pacific battlefield. The Japanese army dispatched such a large fleet at one time, not only
This is the first time since the July 7th Incident, and also the first time since the outbreak of the Pacific War. The cost of the Japanese army is not small.
These bombers took off from Liaoyang and Fengtian in southern Manchuria and Seoul in North Korea. Under the cover of 62 Type 1 and Type 2 fighter jets and 36 Type 2 Zhongkui fighter jets that entered the battlefield for the first time, they tried to
A large-scale bombing was carried out on the Anti-Japanese Air Force base on the front line of Jiamusi. The Anti-Japanese Air Force bombing aircraft and the Anti-Union factory area were completely destroyed on the ground.
In that air battle, almost all the fighter groups of the aviation force deployed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast were engaged in air combat. Even the newly acquired Hurricane IV fighter jets and the twenty-four Lago III fighter jets that had just completed conversion training were also
All were thrown into the air battle.
Taking into account the difference in aircraft performance, the Anti-Japanese Alliance adopted certain tactics in the air battle. The Hurricane IIB fighter, protected by the only seventeen remaining MiG-3 fighter jets, was only responsible for attacking Japanese bombers. In coordination with
The MiG-3 fighter jets that took off were prepared at high altitude to deal with the Type-2 fighter jets that might be dispatched by the Japanese army.
There is no way that the Hurricane II fighter, no matter which model, is no match for the Type II Zhong Kui. We can only let the MiG III fighter jets, which are already old and trained in the Anti-Japanese War, but have been invited back to use their remaining heat, to stand by at high altitude to protect this
A fighter who is supposed to protect others.
The Lager III fighter jets, Hurricane II C fighter jets, and the already small number of P40 fighter jets faced off against the escorting Japanese fighter group. The two armies broke out in a self-resistance over the Sino-North Korean border and the Xinjing line.
The largest bloody air battle since the formation of the United Air Force.
However, in this air battle of unprecedented scale, the anti-alliance aviation forces shot down two-thirds of the Japanese heavy bombers, almost all the light bombers, and more than 80 Japanese escort fighter jets. However, although they ultimately defeated the Japanese
The entire combat plan, but the Anti-Alliance aviation itself also suffered heavy losses.
In this air battle that lasted for a whole day, 35 of the forty Type-2 Hurricane fighter jets that took off to fight were shot down in the air battle. And the more than fifty Hurricane Type-II fighters that were tasked with attacking the Japanese bomber group were shot down.
Type B, more than 20 were shot down by the Japanese II-type fighter jets that were specially used to escort bomber groups.
