In fact, in late March, when the European battlefield was reaching its final moments, Yang Zhen thought of using this, perhaps the final honeymoon period, to purchase 500 to 700 La-7 fighter jets from the Soviet Union to replace the ones that began to arrive one after another.
The Soviet-made fighter jets have expired, and the U.S.-made fighter jets are no longer able to compete for air superiority due to insufficient performance.
But until the European battlefield was completely over, this request never received any reply from the Soviet Union. Even after the European battlefield was over, the Soviets only agreed to hand over the German aircraft that fell into their hands to the Chinese comrades, but for Yang Zhen's request
Their request to exchange grain or cash for another batch of Laqi fighter jets that they had completely freed up and basically had no place to use was still undeniable.
It was only tactfully proposed by the military delegation stationed in the Anti-Japanese War that the Soviet Union, which was currently preparing to rebuild its almost destroyed western territories, did not want to confront the United States in Asia. The Soviet Union would not provide any active equipment to China for the time being.
For the Soviet Union, the war period has passed, and now is the period of repairing the wounds of the war.
In order to deal with the Soviet Union, Yang Zhen even proposed that now that the Soviet Union has ended its war against Germany, the freed-up Soviet troops can join the Asian battlefield. Not only can it overturn the unequal treaties imposed on the Russian people by the Japanese in collusion with US imperialism after the Russo-Japanese War,
.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance could also hand over the Southern Kuril Islands and even Hokkaido to the Soviet Union for occupation in exchange for a batch of Soviet fighter jets. Even the hope of transferring production technology and selling a batch of engines to China for self-organized production is the same.
There is no further text.
The Soviets have made it clear that they do not intend to give any equipment or technology to the Anti-Japanese Alliance now. Even if they are idle now and park it in piles at the local airport, they will not give it to the second-hand goods, let alone new ones.
.General Purkayev, who understood Moscow’s intentions, had a strong attitude towards rejection.
Perhaps it was because of Yang Zhen's suggestion that he wanted to provoke confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Asian battlefield, so as to help China seize chestnuts from the fire. Or there were other reasons. The Soviet Union's only response to Yang Zhen's suggestion was that
, that is, they will assist Chinese comrades in collecting remaining German arms, especially combat aircraft and spare parts. But they will not respond to other suggestions.
However, when negotiating with the Soviets, Yang Zhen didn't know what method he adopted. From the Soviets who always swallowed things and never spit them out. After the incident on the Eastern Road, Yang Zhen was occupied and controlled by the Soviet Union
The Fuyuan Delta was now back. This result was Yang Zhen's only relatively big gain from this negotiation.
But this gain only solved part of the territorial dispute, but it could not solve the urgent need of the fighter force. Before the large-scale conversion of German fighter jets was completed, Yang Zhen could only temporarily replace the Soviet-made fighter jets with the already outdated American P-40 fighter jets.
Behind the line, there is a gap in the equipment.
This problem was not completely alleviated until a large number of German fighter jets were refitted in early July. The indifferent attitude of the Soviets made Yang Zhen very troubled. Sometimes he even considered whether it was his own determination.
It was a little too hasty.
But in the end, Yang Zhen did not change his previous decision. He would rather risk the decline in production and improve the aircraft manufacturing process. The original Soviet aircraft production process was completely abolished, and wood and steel pipes were used as the main structure of the aircraft.
The aircraft is made of all aluminum. In other words, the production process is converted from Soviet-style production technology to American-style production technology.
Of course the Soviets didn't know that Yang Zhen, who originally wanted to leave some room for the Soviets in some plans. After the Soviet Union made the decision during this negotiation, although it seemed calm on the surface, in the end
He was determined to strip them down to their underwear. The result of this air battle made Yang Zhen finally make up his mind.
But I didn't expect that when the mainland was already under tremendous pressure and the fuel shortage had reached its peak, the Japanese would mobilize the main force of the mainland's army aviation to compete for air control over the Korean Strait and cut off the last connection between the Korean army and the mainland to ensure that this time
Yang Zhen successfully accomplished the goal of the Korean War.
There were indeed some errors in judgment in this matter. I did not expect that it would cause such a huge loss. Although most of the pilots who were shot down were rescued, it was just that the loss of a large number of aircraft in this battle made life difficult for them.
The fighter force somewhat made things worse.
There was a gap in combat effectiveness for two full months, which made other fighter units still fighting on the front line somewhat exhausted. Fortunately, Yang Zhen weakened the intensity of air strikes against Japan. Some of the fighter jets that were originally serving as escorts were free to partially fill this gap.
.
However, Yang Zhen thought about it and refused the request of the fighter force to unseal the British fighter jets that had been transferred to storage. At present, except for the Korean battlefield, the overall situation in other aspects is relatively calm. The pilots who are currently on standby should do more
Be prepared to take over German-made aircraft, rather than rush into combat.
Therefore, Yang Zhen did not agree to the fighter force's request to unblock the more than 300 Spitfire fighter jets currently sealed in the Northeast. He only requested that the fighter pilots return to the Northeast for conversion training, but there were no aircraft available for the time being. Increase training intensity and improve the training model.
.At the same time, we will use the German training aircraft transferred in advance to complete the flight conversion as soon as possible.
In this battle, the Anti-Alliance fighter force suffered heavy losses. Basically all the Japanese Army Air Force's domestic teams were crippled. On the contrary, the Japanese Navy, which also had very few left, was much smarter and did not take part in the battle.
After entering, he still retained a certain amount of strength.
However, after the battleship Yamato was sunk in the waters of Okinawa, the Japanese navy, which had no strength anymore, even the aviation force became a coward. Seeing that the army was struggling, it stubbornly refused to use its latest technology.
, the Zidian-modified fighter jet, which is also the ace in hand, is put into combat on the west coast.
In fact, it is not entirely because the Japanese Navy is unwilling to save the enemy, but in the face of frequent visits from the US and British carrier-based aircraft groups, the Japanese Navy has no energy to allocate troops to support the army. In addition, the production of Zidian fighter jets is not going well.
, serious quality problems resulted in a limited number of aircraft dispatched. Being able to take over most of the tasks of local air defense operations at this time is already worthy of our Army brothers.
During the Battle of Okinawa, the last mobile force led by the Japanese battleship Yamato dispatched by the Japanese Navy was sunk by the US Navy's Wasp-like carrier-based aircraft. Except for some coastal defense ships and a small number of destroyers, the Japanese Navy no longer had any
The power to maneuver.
Even the Japanese navy, which has basically exhausted its blood, and even the army pilots who parachuted into the Korean Strait, are unable to rescue them. They can only watch the large number of seaplanes dispatched by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and most of the pilots who were shot down by the Anti-Japanese Alliance were killed.
They were all rescued.
Army pilots can either choose to be prisoners or wait to see if they are lucky enough to survive. If they can persist until the Army rows a wooden boat to rescue them, or if they can float along the current to the mainland or North Korea. If they are lucky, they may be able to wait until rescue.
, if your life is not good, you can only feed the sharks in the sea, or sink directly to the bottom of the sea after the life jacket breaks.
After losing air cover and being completely cut off from the close contact with the mainland, the life of the Korean army became even more difficult. Yang Zhen weakened the force invested in air strikes on the Japanese mainland, but it did not mean that he reduced the investment in the Korean battlefield. In order to
In order to achieve the goal of launching the campaign as soon as possible, Yang Zhen transferred basically all the tactical attack aircraft units in the Northeast battlefield to the Korean battlefield.
In this battle, the losses of the fighter group were heavy, but the losses of the attack group were not heavy. The anti-alliance A-20 attack aircraft, SBD dive bombers, British Blenheim bombers, plus the use of Hurricanes and some bombers converted to attack aircraft
The 40th fighter group carried out air interdiction on the entire southern Korean battlefield and carried out fire strikes on all moving targets and discovered Japanese positions.
They even dispatched a brigade from the aviation units participating in the battle in the Guannei battlefield to return to the Northeast to participate in the battle. However, in view of the fact that the Il-2 attack aircraft unit transferred to the Guannei battlefield suffered heavy losses in the Jianghuai Battle, this battle
Basically, the aircraft invested are American- and British-made aircraft.
Because the United States and Britain have basically stopped providing assistance, the frequency of these aircraft with long life spans can only be gradually reduced due to lack of spare parts. Adhering to the factor of using them to the maximum possible life, the Korean War basically did not
The Il-2 attack aircraft produced by the Anti-Japanese Alliance were dispatched, but all aircraft produced by the United States and Britain were used.
In particular, it would be a pity to give up the British Hurricane fighter jets and Blenheim bombers. However, the overall quantity of equipment is not enough for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to open a special production line for them. Therefore, after this battle, the aviation force has prepared to use all of them.
Retired.
The troops originally equipped with these two types of aircraft will be converted into P-40 fighter jets, A-20 attack aircraft, and SBD dive bombers that still have large quantities and spare parts in stock. Yang Zhen approved the use of American P-39 fighter jets in exchange with the Soviets.
The A-20 attack aircraft still have a certain reserve reserve, so it is completely possible to replace the already small number of Blenheim light bombers.
The last batch of P-40 fighter jets aided by the Americans, as well as a large number of spare parts, are still in storage in Qiqihar because their performance has lagged behind and cannot compete with the latest Japanese fighter jets. Yang Zhen has agreed to use these after this battle.
All batches of fighter jets were unsealed and all British-made aircraft in the attack aircraft force were replaced.
Under the massive air cover provided by North Korea, by mid-June, the North Korean army no longer dared to go on the road, let alone car transportation, or even horse-drawn carriages during the day. Napalm bombs burned the mountainous areas controlled and stationed by the Japanese army to pieces.
The entire railway line in southern North Korea has been completely paralyzed.
The tactics adopted by Yang Jicai on the Jinhua battlefield, which were quite effective in mountain offensive warfare, were quickly extended to the entire Korean battlefield on a large scale. The combination of penetration and frontal attack, shallow depth penetration and two-wing siege tactics made the progress of the entire Korean battlefield
Although it has been a little slow, it has been moving forward steadily.
Facing the increasingly powerful pressure of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Korean army relied on the mountains to continuously block and try to delay the Anti-Japanese offensive, but the front was compressed southward step by step. By June 11, Du Kaishan
The North Korean cluster under his command was on the western front and successively captured Yeongdeungpo and the Uijeongbu front line.
Breaking the Uijeongbu also hit the gate of Seoul, the core of Japanese rule in Korea. Although the Japanese Governor-General in Korea and the Seventeenth Front Army Headquarters, which was adapted from the Korean Army Headquarters, had already moved to Daejeon, the Japanese army still
I don’t want to give up on Seoul.
Although the Uijeongbu front line has been broken through, and all the commanding heights of Chugeling have been captured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Seoul is basically undefendable. However, the Japanese army in North Korea is still investing troops in the direction of Seoul, trying to keep Seoul and the entire North Korea
The peninsula’s railways, roads, and symbols of Japan’s rule over Korea.
