Chapter 1513 Air Combat Tactics

"Iwamoto-kun!"

Yamaguchi Daowen strode forward.

Tokugawa Yotoshi and Shiga Tadaji seemed to be indifferent.

The reason is very simple, because the ace pilot, Takazo Iwamoto, was born in the navy, not the army.

Although the Air Force has become independent from the Army and Navy and has become an independent branch of the military, Tokugawa is so tempted, and Shi Ka Tadaji and others have not completed their ideological transformation.

Even pilots like Takazo Iwamoto did not complete the ideological transformation.

Among all, perhaps the only one who completes the change of thought is Yamaguchi.

This is also the reason why Hirohito crossed Tokugawa Yotoshi and directly appointed Yamaguchi Daoshi, who was only the rank of major general at the time, as commander-in-chief of the Air Force.

"Hiss Commander!"

Iwamoto Takazo stood at attention and saluted Yamaguchi Daoto.

Yamaguchi Tatsuki replied to the military salute and shook hands with Takazo Iwamoto.

"Iwamoto, it's great to see you come back." Yamaguchi Tatsume said sincerely.

Iwamoto Takazo laughed and said, "Thank you, Commander, for your concern. However, as a soldier, isn't it our honor to sacrifice his life for the empire?"

Yamaguchi Tatsume also laughed and said, "But as the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, I hope that you, the ace pilot, will sacrifice your life as late as possible, and at least wait until all ten aviation divisions are formed."

"No problem." Iwamoto Tsuzo said confidently, "Your Excellency Commander, don't worry, I will never sacrifice my life before the ten air divisions of the Air Force are formed. I can assure you!"

"Hahaha, okay, then that's all." Yamaguchi Tatsume patted Iwamoto's shoulder affectionately, and then asked, "How is the situation of the fight today? We lost seven fighter jets, what about the Chinese army? How many fighter jets have been lost on the Chinese army?"

Iwamoto Tsubasa: "Three, or four?"

"Hagayaru!" As soon as Iwamoto finished speaking, Tokugawa Yotoshi scolded him, "Is it three or four? As the captain of the team, can't you even figure it out?"

"Hayi!" Iwamoto Shizuo said with a sudden look, "At that time, I was trying hard to get rid of the joint strangulation of three Chinese fighters. I really had no energy to take care of anything else, so I just vaguely remember that we should have shot down three or four Chinese fighters, but the specific number is not certain for the time being."

"Haga." Tokugawa Yotoshi scolded, "Even if we shot down four Chinese fighter jets, we would still lose."

"Senior Tokugawa, don't be angry." Yamaguchi Tatsume interrupted, "The 1st Aviation Division has just been formed. Except for the captains of several teams such as Iwamoto Toru, most of the other pilots are novices, so it is completely understandable that the air combat is not effective. I believe that as time goes by, as the air combat experience increases, there will be changes."

After a pause, Yamaguchi Tatsumeth continued: "In fact, there has been a change now. During the first air battle, the 1st Aviation Division lost 17 fighter jets, but failed to shoot down any of the China fighters. What about today? Today, the 1st Aviation Division lost only 7, but shot down four China fighters!"

Tokugawa Yotoshi frowned and said, "It is also possible that only three were shot down."

"What's the difference?" Yamaguchi Tatsumeda said, "The war loss ratio between the two sides has reached 1:2, which is much better than I expected. I believe that with the increase in the number of combat and the continuous equipment of Zero fighters, the air force strength comparison on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield will be completely reversed, and this time is not far away."

"Hiss Commander," Iwamoto said suddenly, "Maybe there is no need to wait for the arrival of the Zero fighter. Even if we only rely on the existing Nakajima 97, we have the opportunity to reverse the air force strength comparison on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield!"

"Oh, is that?" Yamaguchi Daoto's expression moved and said in a deep voice, "What have you discovered?"

"Hayi, I think I have cracked the Chinese Air Force's tactics." Iwamoto Tetsuzo said.

"Nani?" Yamaguchi Tatsumeda said, "Iwamoto, are you saying that the Chinese Air Force has special tactics?"

"The tactics of air combat?" Shi Zhongzhi said sneeringly, "It's ridiculous. The degree of freedom of air combat is so high and the flight speed is so fast. How can there be any tactics?"

Toshitoshi Toshi to the Toshikawa said: "Air combat is nothing more than a competition between the performance of fighter jets and pilot flight technology between the two sides. How can there be any tactics? Iwamoto, don't be sensational."

Since the Air Force appeared late, it has not yet formed a systematic tactic.

Not to mention Japan, even the German army and the British army did not form systematic air combat tactics, and they basically remained in the competition of aircraft performance and pilot technical literacy.

The wolf pack tactics pioneered by Chennard can be said to be the first real air combat tactic.

But now, due to the flapping of Zhong Yi, the little butterfly, Iwamoto Tsuzo did not return home quickly as in history, but stayed on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian in China for a long time, and had many competitions with the Chinese Air Force led by Chennard and Martins, thus cracking Chennard's wolf pack tactics in advance.

Faced with Tokugawa's Toshito, Kazuhiro's questioning, Iwamoto Takazo did not retreat, but said frankly: "No, this is not a sensationalist, the Chinese Air Force has a really formed tactic."

Yamaguchi Tatsume said: "Then you might as well talk about it in detail, what kind of tactics are it?"

"Hai." Iwamoto Tsumatsu said, "The tactics of the Chinese Air Force seem very simple on the surface, which is to concentrate three or four fighter jets against one fighter jet of the Imperial Army."

"Ha, more fight less?" Shi Zhongzhi smiled, "What kind of air combat tactics is this?"

"It's not just about fighting more and fighting less!" said Toru Iwamoto. "If you just simply fight more and fight less, not only will you not be able to form an air superiority, but you may misunderstand your wingman! After all, fighter planes are flying too fast, and many times human consciousness has no time to react."

"So, there is no air combat tactic at all!"

Tokugawa Yotoshi and Shiga Tadaji still couldn't understand it.

But Yamaguchi Dawen vaguely understood it.

When Iwamoto Toshizo wanted to say something again, he was interrupted by Yamaguchi Dawen with a wave of his hand.

"Iwamoto, stop talking." Yamaguchi Tatsuki stretched out his hand to interrupt Takazo Iwamoto, and continued, "You should go back and record all the thoughts in your mind and form a formal written report. Then tonight, I will summon all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Aviation Division and the 2nd Aviation Division to listen to your report!"

After a pause, Yamaguchi Tatsume said again: "Iwamoto, I hope you can selflessly impart your flight experience and psychological experience to all the officers and soldiers of the Air Force! Hum?"
