Yang Zhen already has a hunch that from this year to next year before the Soviet-German war breaks out... the entire Northeastern war situation will be small-scale firefights, but the Kwantung Army's large-scale offensive against the Allied Forces will not happen for the time being. Large-scale attacks. The probability of an attack will only appear after August next year when certain results are achieved on the Soviet-German battlefield. If the wheel of history continues as I know it will.
One is related to the Japanese army's own strategic adjustment after the international situation changes. The other is that the Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses this time, also needs a long period of rehabilitation to recover. After all, more than 100,000 veterans were lost in one go. It is not easy for the Japanese army, which has not yet transferred to the wartime system, to recover its vitality.
The reason why Yang Zhen estimated that the large-scale Japanese attack would take place after August next year probably had a lot to do with the history he knew. If the progress of the war situation after the German attack on the Soviet Union was really what he knew. Thinking that the Soviet army had suffered a disastrous defeat and that their foreign aid had been cut off, the Japanese army would definitely take advantage of the situation. They tried to take advantage of their "weakest and most isolated" situation to add insult to injury. This was also the most common method used by the Japanese army.
Therefore, according to Yang Zhen's estimation, the next full-scale attack by the Japanese army will most likely be after August next year. He should have nearly a year to recuperate and prepare to reserve supplies and ammunition. However, although the Japanese army will stop for a while It will take a while, but in order to weaken its war potential and minimize its ability to sustain combat, large-scale air strikes in the base area are inevitable.
The Japanese army is now constantly deploying more aviation forces into the Northeast, even breaking the practice of the army and navy fighting separately. It has concentrated two naval aviation groups and allocated them to the army. It also allocated some aircraft from its own reserve aircraft to the army. It is a sign that the Kwantung Army's aviation will be restored as soon as possible.
Yang Zhen knows that this year or next year, a new type of fighter jet will be put into service by the Japanese Navy. The outstanding performance of this fighter jet, especially its excellent high-altitude performance, is definitely one of the best among the fighter jets currently equipped by various countries. Once the Japanese Navy puts this new type of aircraft into combat, Yang Zhen is not sure whether his aviation force can fight with it and win.
Moreover, the current number of aviation fighter jets is too small compared to an army, and it is difficult to replenish them. With one less fighter to be destroyed, Yang Zhen does not dare to put all his hopes of establishing an air defense network on the aviation force. .After all, what I know about the outcome of the air battle at the beginning of the Pacific War a year later has shown that the P-39 fighter jets that I am equipped with in large quantities are no match for this new type of fighter jet named Zero.
Since the aviation force completed its training and joined the war, Yang Zhen has been trying to remember how he swept through the air forces of various countries in the early days of the Pacific War and caused the famous Type Zero disaster. Before the Japanese Army Air Forces put in new fighter jets, he was most likely to encounter the most powerful force in the air. When exactly did the opponent's Zero fighter enter the war on a large scale? But he really couldn't remember the exact time when this kind of fighter entered service.
However, according to the Japanese aircraft naming standards, it should have completed testing this year and was ready for mass production. As for the performance of this aircraft, Yang Zhen could not even recall it. Compared with the more famous German ME 109 fighter jets and FW190 As for fighter jets, there are not many descriptions of Japanese fighter jets like the Zero in later generations.
In fact, Yang Zhen didn't know much about the aviation equipment of various countries in the world during World War II. Even the Soviet MiG-3 fighter jets, he only knew that although this aircraft had many problems, it had superior high-altitude combat performance. It was also the Soviet army that broke out in the Soviet-German War. Currently, it is the most equipped new fighter jet.
As for other aircraft, he only knows the approximate performance. When it comes to the real performance of these aircraft, he doesn't know much. After all, "Aviation Knowledge", "Weapons", and "Ordnance Technology" in the reading room of the old army of later generations It is a military magazine, not a professional aviation book.
Although there are certain introductions to the so-called famous aircraft from various countries around the world during World War II, such as the Soviet Union's Yak and Pull fighter jets, the Il-Fifteen and Sixteenth fighter jets that provided large amounts of military support to the National Government, and the Il-II attack aircraft, Figure 2, Peter 2 Bombers, as well as old SB-2 bombers. American P-39, 40, and 51-type fighter jets.
However, the performance introduction is not comprehensive, and many of them are introduced through classic battles. As for the factors that win an air battle, the service time, firepower configuration, general flight performance, and classic battle examples are far from enough. of.
As for the B-17, 24, and 29 heavy bombers, and the 25 and 26 medium bombers, we still know about them through those so-called American war movies. As for the Zero fighter, Yang Zhen really knows the performance of this fighter Not much. The only thing he knew was that this kind of fighter had excellent high-altitude performance, excellent maneuverability and hovering combat capabilities.
The biggest weakness is the fragile body, which cannot withstand the impact of violent dives. Moreover, it cannot carry out large overload flight. Because once this happens, this kind of body is fragile. In order to achieve high maneuverability and high speed, the weight of the body can be saved. Save money. An airplane that doesn’t even have a self-sealing fuel tank will disintegrate if it’s not handled properly.
However, the combat performance of this kind of fighter is the strongest among the fighter jets currently equipped by all countries in the world. The fighter jets currently equipped by various countries in the world, whether it is the British Hurricane, Spitfire, or the American P-40 fighter, The Soviet Union's Yak-1 and Lager-3 fighter jets, and even Germany's Me-109 fighter jets, there is no fighter that can surpass the latest Japanese fighter jets in a level fight.
The call from the central government three days ago also told Yang Zhen that during the Japanese bombing of Chongqing on September 13, the Japanese army dispatched a new type of fighter jet to escort the bombers for the first time. This had never been seen before, and it was unlike the Japanese navy before. This new type of fighter jet is very different from the main force of the Type 96 fighter. Its super long range and extremely strong maneuverability dealt a devastating blow to the Chinese Air Force.
In the air battle, the Chinese Air Force dispatched 25 I-Fifteens provided by the Soviet army, as well as nine of the best-performing I-Sixteen fighter jets in the hands of the Nationalist Government. Facing only thirteen Zero fighter jets, it was almost an era behind The two fighters paid a bloody price.
Just like in the first air battle of Yang Zhen's aviation force, although the P-39 fighter was a product with poor performance, there was a whole generation gap in dealing with the Type 97 fighter equipped by the Japanese Route Army aviation. In the air battle, P The Type 39 fighter jets bloodbathed the Kwantung Army's Type 97 fighter jets.
But this situation took a 180-degree turn during the air battle at Bishan, Chongqing on September 13. In this almost one-sided air battle, the performance of the two fighter jets was far inferior to that of the Zero fighter. The Soviet-made fighter jets were almost powerless to fight back. Twenty-five to zero became a great shame for the Nationalist Government Air Force.
The I-Fifteen and I-Sixteen fighter jets are a full generation behind the Zero. It is normal that they are not rivals of the Zero fighter. But the P-39 fighter, which originally had good performance, was stripped by the US Army itself and all the turbochargers were removed. , its performance is also no match for the Japanese Zero fighter, Yang Zhen already knows this.
The Americans refused to provide the P-40 fighter that could barely compete with the Zero. Before the MiG-3 fighter, which was specially designed for high-altitude and high-speed, was put into the battlefield, at least in the high-altitude field, Yang Zhen knew that he was not interested in such an excellent performance fighter. There is nothing the fighter can do.
Moreover, although the Soviet Union has promised to deliver all MiG-3 fighter jets to the Anti-Japanese Alliance by June next year, delivery and the formation of combat effectiveness are two different things. From the delivery of an aircraft to the completion of training and deployment on the battlefield, it takes at least a lot of effort. Half a year of training.
Although the Soviet Union has agreed to use the MiG-1 fighter jets that the Soviet Army has completed test flights and has just begun mass production within a month to train some pilots for the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The conversion training of all Anti-Union pilots will be at the same time as the Soviet pilots conduct.
The MiG-3 fighter jets currently undergoing test flights are themselves improved from the MiG-1 fighter jets. Using MiG-1 fighter jets to train pilots can make these MiG-3 fighter jets combat effective in the shortest possible time. Moreover, the Soviet Union He also promised that as long as the MiG-3 fighter jets complete their test flights, they will be delivered to the Anti-Japanese Alliance first.
But even if the Soviet Union does not hesitate to delay the equipment of its own troops in order to complete the contract, these fighter jets will not be able to form combat effectiveness before the end of next year. After all, this type of fighter jet will not complete test flights until next year, and the time to start mass production is still there.
Before the MiG-3 fighter jets were fully put into the battlefield, they basically had no means of defense at high altitudes. This is why Yang Zhen was eager to develop excellent performance. The maximum range was as high as 12,000 meters, and it used five-round magazines to feed ammunition. The main reason why the extremely fast 57mm anti-aircraft gun was put into production was largely due to concerns about the Zero fighter.
If the Japanese Navy's Zero fighter jets did not appear on the battlefield, Yang Zhen would not be so impatient just because the P-39 fighter jets are far ahead of the Type 97 fighter jets currently equipped by the Japanese army. After all, there is no need to worry about the threat of Japanese fighter jets. Under the circumstances, the fighter jets could allocate a considerable part of their energy to deal with the Japanese bombers.
Although the MiG-3 may not be the opponent of the Zero fighter, this kind of fighter jet specially developed for high-altitude air combat may not be completely helpless when facing the Zero fighter. After all, the high-altitude performance of the MiG-3 fighter Still quite good.
The reason why Yang Zhen agreed to choose the MiG-3 fighter at the beginning was that the Soviet Union refused to provide the Yak-1 with better performance and he had no other procurement channels. Dealing with the Zero fighter with excellent high-altitude performance at high altitude was also an important consideration for him. one.
But Yang Zhen is too stupid to pin his hopes on this kind of fighter when he knows that this kind of fighter will not be able to be put into the battlefield for at least a year. In other countries, there are neither channels nor funds for outsourcing. Under the circumstances, Yang Zhen could only find ways to increase the density of ground air defense firepower and improve the performance of anti-aircraft guns to deal with this Zero threat.
