Now that the strategy of using Kim Jong-hwa's brigade as a surprise force was decided, on the frontal battlefield, the main force of the Third Expeditionary Army adopted a more prudent approach, just firmly holding on to the existing positions and no longer launching a counterattack. Without leaving Gu Zhu
As expected, after the man-eating mosquito incident, Honma Masaharu reacted and immediately concentrated his troops on Gan Bang. The already fierce fighting in Gan Bang suddenly became more intense as if it had been poured with kerosene.
The strengthening of the Japanese offensive was three-dimensional, in the air, on the sea, and on the ground. It can be seen that after the man-eating mosquito incident, Masaharu Honma had already sensed the danger of failure, and they no longer dared to delay it any longer.
It is not difficult for Masaharu Honma or Toshiichiro Koizumi to decide on a decisive battle, because they have sufficient cannon fodder troops. Moreover, because the implementation of the seed plan has affected the reproductive interests of local ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, in order to allow the soldiers of the Yamato nation to obtain enough
With so many "mating" partners, using war to consume the males of the local ethnic groups in Southeast Asia seems to be a good choice.
In the air battle over Ganbang, the two warring parties were evenly matched, but with the addition of a large number of Fifty Special Attack aircraft, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Japanese side. At any other time, if this situation had occurred, Gu Zhutong would have ordered
Our aviation forces have changed their strategy, that is, they have adopted sluggish tactics. They no longer blindly fight against the Japanese aviation forces, but engage in smart harassment warfare. While ensuring their own safety, they can obstruct and snipe the Japanese fighter planes to the maximum extent.
Unable to attack our ground targets comfortably. But today, Gu Zhutong not only asked the aviation units that had participated in the war to stop the enemy at all costs, but also asked the Nanning Aviation Corps to invest all its reserve forces. In a telegram to Chen Kongxiang, commander of the Nanning Aviation Corps
In , he clearly pointed out that the decisive battle has begun, so all participants must be prepared to sacrifice - "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Tell brothers, now is the time for us to serve the country! We will win!"
War is the best catalyst for military technology, let alone China. Because of Ouyang Yun's existence, he can accurately grasp the pulse of the development of military technology, so whether it is radio technology or radar technology, China is one step ahead of other countries in the world.
China's progress, in turn, stimulated other countries such as Japan, the United States, Soviet Russia, and the United Kingdom. Therefore, due to the needs of the war and the stimulation of war dividends, countries were unprecedentedly "willing" to invest in military technology.
The so-called arms race is formed. The arms race is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the advancement of military technology can indeed bring about the upgrading of civilian technology. But on the other hand, because the research of military technology requires a large amount of capital investment, and subsequent
Development requires massive resources, and the very purpose of armaments is to kill people. Therefore, the more advanced they are, the greater the harm they will cause to society.
As soon as a large number of Japanese fifty-fifty special attack aircraft appeared over the Xiaolin Highlands, the Chinese radar station located behind Malan detected this situation. The relevant information was immediately reported to Chen Kongxiang in accordance with the long-established process.
Before sending the order message, Chen Kongxiang had already received the relevant report.
Chinese aviation people have never had a good impression of the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft because of its ability to kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred. But on the battlefield, if they encounter the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft, the Chinese aviation force will also respond by claiming that it can do no damage to itself.
I feel proud to have shot down such a Japanese aircraft.
When Chen Kongxiang was still an ordinary pilot, he had the experience of fighting against the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft. Because two of his best brothers died in the hands of the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft, so for the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft,
His hatred is far stronger than the others.
"The Japs suddenly gave up our delivery fleet and fought on the Ganbang battlefield. There is only one possibility. It means that the Japs are preparing to launch a decisive battle! In Ganbang, our air power is not superior to begin with. It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable.
!" He was already prepared to fight a vicious war, so when Gu Zhutong's telegram arrived, without saying a word, he immediately ordered all the fighter planes on standby to take off immediately, and demanded that they must not let the Japanese aviation force win the battle.
Air supremacy on the battlefield!
"On the ground, our Third Expeditionary Group Army is already at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Therefore, even if we risk our lives, we cannot let the Japanese gain air supremacy on the battlefield! Brothers! Haven't you always been dissatisfied with friendly forces calling us rookies? Now, prove it
Your opportunity has come! Brothers! I have already explained in detail how to counter the Japs’ special attack tactics. I hope you can take this opportunity to teach the Japs a lesson and tell them that junk fighters like the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft should be replaced.
Eliminated! Do you understand?"
As a newly built unit, the Nanning Aviation Corps is composed mainly of new recruits. And because the fighter planes they are equipped with are the most advanced in the country, it naturally arouses the jealousy of other brother units. In addition, it has nothing special since its establishment.
As a result, his reputation as a rookie spread like wildfire. Chen Kongxiang had been depressed about this for a long time, and now, he felt that the opportunity to prove his worth had come.
In the decisive battle of Ganbang, the Nanning Aviation Corps was not the only Chinese unit participating in the battle that was eager to prove its worth, but the South China Sea Fleet was also the same.
In terms of force history, the South China Sea Fleet is much more senior than the Nanning Air Corps. However, because the Pacific Fleet has completely gained control of the Asia-Pacific, Japan's Takeku aircraft carrier fleet simply does not dare to enter the South China Sea, which is equivalent to China's internal sea.
Therefore, because there has been no fighting for a long time, the officers and soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet always feel unable to hold their head high in front of the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet who are at the same level but can win a fight in three to five days. And the Nanning Aviation Corps is directly affiliated with Gu Zhu
Different from Malan's former finger, the South China Sea Fleet is a purely friendly force. To put it simply, although the Supreme Command ordered them to assist the Third Expeditionary Army in combat, it did not issue a hard combat mission.
There is nothing wrong with the Supreme Command's decision. After all, the waters off Singapore and the Gulf of Thailand near the South China Sea have been under the control of the Japanese Navy for a long time. And the South China Sea Fleet, which has only one aircraft carrier to support it, cannot compete with it in terms of strength.
The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is on par with the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. So not having high hopes for them can be regarded as facing reality.
However, the Supreme Command seems to have underestimated the courage and determination of the officers and soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet headed by Commander Xu Kai. Therefore, although the Supreme Command listed the South China Sea Fleet as an extra-staff force in its calculations, the South China Sea Fleet itself has capabilities that are inconsistent with its strength.
Ambition.
Xu Kai and others have actually been praying for a decisive battle between China and Japan in Ganbang for a long time.
