Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty: The Devils Scale Their Troops
Although Stalin never admitted his mistakes, he still couldn't help criticizing the government's lax airport security and poor cooperation in various aspects. Although Stalin, who refused to admit his mistakes, adopted the method of sending extra ground staff to the government, but for North China
The attitude of the Soviet-aided aviation force under the Aviation Corps has also improved a lot than before. First, in August 1938, it made up for the shortcomings caused by the loss of aircraft.
Well, they were all the latest improved i16 fighter jets. Then in late October, they again sent 150 additional aircraft to the Soviet aid air force. At the same time, they maliciously invited Hu Weidong to visit the Soviet Union again and selected corresponding personnel. As a result, Hu Weidong
Of course he refused, but Pokryshkin, who returned to China to select people for him, still attracted many future World War II ace pilots such as Kozhidub...
The strength of the Border Area Air Corps (now the "North China Air Corps of the National Revolutionary Army") has been further enhanced, but the one who has benefited more is always the Communist Party.
The Red Party would make the Western powers think that the Soviet Union had 'begun to "export revolution" again'.) Stalin sent additional Volunteer Air Forces twice in a row in the second half of 1938.
In addition to the first batch of 300 aircraft, the total number reached an astonishing 1,200 aircraft (but due to previous battle losses, the total number was only about 1,000 aircraft when the third batch arrived.). Although such an approach of favoring one over the other makes
The Red Party is very dissatisfied, but objectively it has somewhat alleviated the huge pressure on China after the rapid expansion of Japan's aircraft production capacity...
The rapid growth of the Air Force not only requires aircraft and pilots, but also ground staff and special supplies such as aviation gasoline. It is said that Hu Weidong has already started to train ground staff, and now it has achieved results, and aviation gasoline has also been domestically produced.
, the quality even exceeded that of Soviet products (Historically, until the end of World War II, the Soviet Union’s refining capacity was problematic.). The most surprising thing is that castor oil, the most important raw material for the production of high-grade lubricants required for aircraft, was
At the beginning of the Central Plains border area
When it was built, people were already promoting the cultivation of castor in barren hilly and mountainous areas. Therefore, even if the number of aircraft increased greatly, the air force's lubricant supply was always more than sufficient, and it was even "exported" to the Kuomintang-controlled areas. While supporting the Anti-Japanese War, it also
Increased the number of farmers in border areas
Economic income. As early as a few years ago, Hu Weidong could consider such "trivial" things, which surprised all the Red Party leaders. Even Taizu, who is not easy to praise others, gave Hu Weidong the extreme of "far-sighted and thoughtful thinking."
High rating...
In fact, the reason why the Air Force was able to achieve such amazing results was not only the efforts of the Air Force itself, but also the indispensable contribution to the raids and economic blockade launched by the four major bases behind enemy lines against the Japanese-occupied areas during the "Hundred Regiments War". The former directly reduced
The Japanese North China Front Army Aviation Corps' ammunition and fuel supplies were reduced, and the latter forced the Japanese army to use its limited transportation capacity more for transporting daily necessities. The transportation of military supplies was naturally further reduced. Therefore, the Japanese North China Front Army Aviation Corps' aircraft total
Although the number quickly increased to more than a thousand, dispatching more than a hundred at a time was already the limit. Therefore, it gave the North China Air Force the opportunity to learn war in the war and become stronger as it fought. At the same time, for the same reason, fuel.
Airline supply is increasingly in embarrassment
The Air Corps is no longer able to proactively launch large-scale air strikes in the Central Plains border area. After this, the only method that can currently break the new tactics of the North China Air Force, cannot be implemented, the Japanese army's air supremacy even in the occupied areas has become precarious.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters knew that doing so might trigger a large-scale offensive by the Red Party troops, but they had no choice but to follow the script written by Hu Weidong long ago and launch a large-scale raid on the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. The first to bear the brunt was
The Shandong base area where the Japanese army was in danger on the Jinpu Line...
The anti-Japanese base area in Shandong was strong, so the Japanese army dispatched 100,000 Japanese troops and more than 50,000 puppet troops to carry out a dragnet-style sweep, hoping to solve this major hidden danger once and for all. In order to prevent Jinan and other large and medium-sized cities in Shandong from being empty of troops
taken advantage of by the enemy
, the Japanese base camp agreed that the Kwantung Army would dispatch three field divisions to Pingjin, so that the Japanese army in Pingjin could dispatch 100,000 troops to go south to support Shandong. However, even though the Red Party cannot yet effectively decipher the current telecommunications code used by the Japanese army, the Japanese are so
big
It is almost impossible to hide such large-scale mobilization from the commanders of the 15th Army, who not only have underground party sources of information, but also have reconnaissance planes (Note 1) dispatched from time to time to detect the enemy's situation. After discovering the Japanese mobilization, Hu Weidong
Immediately through the Xinhua News Agency broadcast
The radio station notified the old subordinates in the northeast of Gaoyuan with the code words that had been agreed upon long ago. As a result, the Anti-Japanese Alliance took advantage of the great opportunity that the Kwantung Army field divisions were mobilized in large numbers, resulting in a serious shortage of mobile troops, and launched an unprecedented 1938 summer offensive.

Before the Plateau came to the Northeast, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, which once boasted hundreds of thousands of people, such as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, had long lost their former glory. In 1934, the sinister and sinister old devil Sasaki came to Dazuo as an adviser to the Manchurian Government. He formulated a plan
A series of measures to transform the puppet Manchukuo army, turning it from a disorganized uprising
Hezhizhong was transformed into a reactionary armed force that actively suppressed the Chinese people and had strong combat effectiveness. Due to the chronic diseases of the original puppet Manchukuo army, Sasaki directly disbanded and rebuilt the old army. In order to prevent the collusion between soldiers and bandits, he
Ammunition is distributed according to the quota. Each puppet Manchukuo soldier only has 30 rounds of ammunition. If the battle fails,
If the enemy fails, the troops will be immediately disbanded, and the chief officer will be held accountable until he is shot. As a result, the price of bullets on the black market has reached as high as 75 cents, and several routes for the Anti-Japanese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces such as the Anti-Japanese Alliance to replenish bullets have been almost blocked. In addition, Sasaki formulated a
The two plans directly slowed down the once vigorous anti-Japanese activities in Northeast China.
into a desperate situation. The first is the "Manchukuo" Three-Year Public Security Suppression Plan, which concentrates military power on attacking the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, the core of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, and adopts different specially designed strategies for other anti-Japanese armed forces depending on the specific situation. Not only
It is disintegration, and there are more sinister intentions...
Note 1: The Type 97 headquarters reconnaissance aircraft captured from the Japanese army is extremely fast and has a long range. Even the Japanese army's own active fighter jets cannot catch up. Therefore, even if they bite their teeth with hatred, they cannot contain the North China Air Force's attack.
