At noon shortly after the end of the Incheon Air Battle, Song Biao received a summary report on the Incheon Air Battle from the Central Military Department. The Air Force Chief of Staff Pan Zhaoqin was personally responsible for reporting and explaining the results of the battle to the emperor.

During this twenty-day air battle, the Imperial Air Force was destroyed and severely damaged 352 fighter jets, each with about half of the data. The total losses of the Japanese Army's aviation force were about 740, which were destroyed.

Absolutely majority.

This mutual loss rate is generally acceptable.

After reading all the battle reports and summary, Pan Zhaoqin, who stood upright in front of him, asked: "Is the data on Incheon air battle fake? I saw the news from military intelligence the day before yesterday, and the Japanese military and media were both

It is claimed that in this Incheon air battle, the Japanese army shot down 3,700 of our fighter jets. Isn’t it too different from our report?”

Pan Zhaoqin immediately replied: "The total number of aircraft sent by our army to the battlefield is no more than 3,000. Where can the Japanese army shoot down 3,700 fighter jets from our army? Our army's reports have been repeated and confirmed before and afterwards, and it is basically certain that the data is closest.

In the real situation, the lower Japanese officers of the Japanese army expanded the combat losses of our army ten times in their report."

Song Biao probably is the same. Many people say that the Communist Army had a lot of numbers in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but I still believe that the Japanese army is better. That's really a big deal. The lower-level Japanese officers were also very good at turbulent in the number game, especially during the Navy and the Pacific War.

The number of US aircraft carriers reported by the Japanese Navy was basically twice the total number of US aircraft carriers at that time. The base camp was also very troubled. Every time it was a big victory, I always thought that the US Navy was almost completely destroyed and could fight again.

It was also discovered that the US military still has many aircraft carriers.

He asked the eunuch to bring a seat to Pan Zhaoqin, and when Pan Zhaoqin sat down, he asked: "You are the first ace pilot of our Imperial Air Force, with rich experience. Come and analyze the Incheon air battle and estimate the level of the Japanese Air Force?

”

Pan Zhaoqin's group actually has the qualifications and ability to be promoted to generals, and all they lack is opportunity. After the Battle of Sanduao, the Navy promoted three admirals in one go. The Incheon Air Battle was over, and Pan Zhaoqin will also be promoted to the Air Force.

Generals, plus General Shu Fangde, who had been demobilized, had two generals in the Air Force.

As the chief of staff of the Central Military Department, Pan Zhaoqin is also the commander-in-chief of Incheon Air Battle. During this period, he personally flew to the Pyongyang Air Force Base to command operations.

The strategic focus of Incheon air combat generals China and Japan has attracted the air force field, which is also an excellent opportunity for the Empire. During this period, the Imperial Northeast Defense Force's general headquarters has moved to Pyongyang, and the army's troops transferred to North Korea have surged to

300,000 is much faster than Japan's increase in troops.

Japan will definitely suffer from the increase in troops. First of all, there are three railway channels from Northeast China to North Korea, Dandong, Shuozhou and Yanbian. There are enough merchant ships and troop transport ships from Northeast China, Shandong to North Korea. In terms of air force and civil aviation, the Empire

Nearly 3,000 large and medium-sized transport aircraft were also drawn.

According to its current transportation capacity, the empire had the ability to launch a full-scale offensive in North Korea around November. Although Japan had been secretly preparing for a long time, it was already at a disadvantage in the allocation of troops and materials.

The gap in national strength is still very obvious.

Of course, the empire has actually been secretly prepared for a while, but it is not so obvious. Some work does not need to be prepared temporarily. For example, the strategic material reserve work in the Northeast has always been persisted, and the grain stockpiled by the national grain reserves in the Northeast is always the case.

It is enough to cope with the military rations demand for the entire war.

Under such a major premise, Pan Zhaoqin, one of the front-line commanders, was not under great pressure.

After sitting down in front of the emperor, he thought about it for a while before he answered to the emperor seriously: "From the entire process and results of Incheon air combat, the level of Japanese fighter jets is still not bad, which is beyond our past

It is estimated that in addition, their pilot quality is relatively high, and we do not have an absolute advantage in both aspects. Japan's aviation industry has many problems, the biggest two are the engine manufacturing level and the whole machine manufacturing.

The production capacity is more than two points, which is very fatal. From now on, Japan has indeed invested a lot of thought in aircraft design and has many new innovations worth learning from.

Imagine. Taking the current main Japanese army, the 97 Land Warfare, as an example, judging from some of its fighter wreckage and the entire air combat performance, its engine power did not exceed one thousand horsepower. In order to achieve the highest combat effectiveness, Japan was in the design process.

Weight loss as much as possible for the aircraft. Our J-4 Blitzf has an air weight of 3357 kilograms, while the air weight of the 1997 Land Warfare is only about 1100 kilograms. These two simple numbers contain too many problems. Thanks to our country

With a deep foundation in the field of aviation engines, our army's fighter jets are basically developing towards heavy-duty, with their characteristics being strong and durable. Taking lightning as an example, even if they are hit by the 97 Land War many times in air combat, it is still possible.

Surviving, the 97 Land War usually crashes once you are hit."

Song Biao continued to ask Pan Zhaoqin, "What are you going to do later?"

Pan Zhaoqin said: "Summary of tactical experience and quickly adjust conventional combat tactics. At present, the high-altitude and high-dive performance of lightning is far better than that of the opponent's 97, so you should not be too entangled with the opponent, high-altitude dive, cluster attack

, mainly large-scale engagement between the majority and the majority, regardless of whether the opponent is defeated or not, they will withdraw after a cluster dive attack, and do not entangle with the 97 Land War in the medium and low altitude. If you are sure to fight at the medium and low altitude, you should have

The J-3 series fighter jets assist, or the J-3 series fighter jets are directly used as the main force to deal with the Japanese 97 land war, while the Blitzfighter fleet serves as the raiding force, and suddenly penetrates into the trouble at high speed during the battle between the two sides."

After a moment of pause, he added: "The main fighter jets in our army currently serve in the air force include three series of J-3\4\5, and the overall performance is excellent, which determines that our army has more air combat with the Japanese army.

Tactical countermeasures, while the Japanese army currently only has one type of 97 Land Warfare. Its combat performance is relatively single, with only a unique advantage of medium and low altitude hovering performance. The tactics are also relatively simple, and there are few ways to deal with our army's tactical changes.

Our army has more fighter jets, pilots and stronger national industrial capacity than the Japanese army. In the long run, our army will surely be able to firmly control air supremacy in this war."

Song Biao nodded with satisfaction and asked Pan Zhaoqin: "The improved model of the Blitzfighter should be in service, right? Should we need targeted improvements?"

Pan Zhaoqin said: "Report to Your Majesty, the two new and improved models of J-402\404 will be in service in the second half of the year. The 404 is our Air Force model and the 402 is the naval carrier-based aircraft model. This new model of this class is in terms of engine power.

All increased to 2400 horsepower. After using 3-blade propellers, the engine conversion efficiency is higher, with about 7 actual power increase effect, and the weight is relatively increased, but such a horsepower increase will make the new model have a stronger climb rate.

With high-speed performance and complementarity, the Air Force has asked Jiangnan Fudao Company to produce Air Force-type fighter jets based on J-303 carrier-based aircraft, and the number is currently tentatively set to J-305."

After a moment of pause, he asked Song Biao: "Your Majesty, my subordinates actually think that the P-3 series ** fighter can be allowed to be produced and served on a large scale. Judging from the current trend, ** fighter eliminates propeller fighter jets.

The inevitable general trend is that instead of wasting a large amount of financial resources and national resources on aircraft that are bound to be eliminated, it is better to take this opportunity to produce ** fighter jets on a large scale!”

Song Biao thought carefully for a while and replied: "The enemy will always be stronger. It is not a bad thing to reserve, but your proposal is not unreasonable. Since you have such a request, let P

-3 is officially in service under the name of J-6 fighter, nicknamed Phoenix. The specific production plan is determined according to the needs of the Air Force, but at this stage, I still don't think that the P-3 is indeed necessary to appear on the battlefield.

Because the level of the opponent has not yet threatened our Air Force, even if it is to use it, it is consciously chosen at a decisive moment."

Pan Zhaoqin was really relieved at this moment. As long as the P-3 fighter jet, which represents the highest level of the Imperial Aviation Industry, officially joined the battle, the war would actually end for the Air Force.

The turbojet engine used by the P-3 is not easy to produce and reproduce. It requires higher specifications of industrial level and the development of materials science. Even if Japan is now catching up with this trend, it will take roughly six or seven years to

It may not be successful if it takes ten years to catch up, because the cycle of secret development and experimentation in this field has been more than ten years.

From the secret project establishment and pre-research began in 1923, to the emergence of the P-1 experimental fighter in 1933, to the emergence of the first generation of ** fighter P-2 in 1935, and finally the second generation of P-3 fighter in 1938.

The empire took 15 years to complete this huge historical leap.

Pan Zhaoqin has such a simple attitude. He said that I now have the P-3 series fighter jets. In terms of cost, a P-3 is indeed equal to 4-5 J-4s, but since there is a P-3

, Why do you still need to manufacture J-4 on a large scale?

From a purely military perspective, this is obviously meaningless, because the P-3 can continue to be in service for a long time no matter how much it is built during the war, and even if it is sealed and stored, it is meaningful. The J-4 blitz fighter produced in large quantities during the war

After the war, they were destined to disintegrate, after all, they had no actual combat value.

Being a constitutional monarchy emperor.

If it is not necessary, Song Biao does not need to restrict or violate the decisions of his subordinates. Some situations need to be firmly opposed, such as the idea of ​​directly ending the war with nuclear weapons proposed within the military department. This must be firmly opposed. It is not appropriate to use nuclear weapons yet.

Time and some situations, even if Song Biao does not agree very much, there is no need to object.

In a constitutional empire, even if the emperor has the final right of opposition, the less it is used, the better.

Song Biao discussed with Pan Zhaoqin and continued to use the J-3\4\5 series of fighter jets as the main body, but the J-6 fighter jets can be officially put into the army on a large scale and temporarily controlled within the Kulun Military Region.

Draw to the Northeast and Korean battlefields at any time.

The runway length required by turbojet fighters is higher than that of the propeller series, and the flatness specifications are also higher. Therefore, to allow this series of fighter jets to enter the Korean battlefield, new runways and maintenance stations are needed to be added at Pyongyang, Shincheon and Wonsan Air Force Bases.

, make sufficient preparations.

Due to a series of problems, the current production capacity is basically about 40 aircraft per month, and it can only be produced in Shenyang for the time being. The next step is to expand the manufacturing of aviation bases in Taiyuan and Shanghai, which is expected to be achieved every month at the beginning of next year

The capacity scale of 120 aircraft.

Such a scale is acceptable, and it is more difficult to be higher. The two biggest limitations are radar and engine.

...

While the Sino-Japanese War was going to war, the German-Polish alliance was constantly provoking the Soviet Union and demanding the re-division of territory in the name of Poland.

If a butterfly flaunts its wings, it can set off an Atlantic storm, then how much change will the dragon's breath cause in the whole world? The answer is that the scale is even more terrifying. One person can change the world precisely because of the connection between countless events.

Although there was resistance to fascism, Polish President Artur Martos, with the help of Nazi Germany, established a new Polish National Party in Poland and implemented a similar fascist policy.

Such changes surprised Song Biao, Jiang Fangzhen and others who thought they knew General Martos.

Due to many special factors, the empire has had particularly close military cooperation and assistance to Poland in the past twenty years. In the Polish military reform carried out by General Martos, the Polish army was basically a replica of the Chinese team in Eastern Europe.

, From military system to military thought, from equipment to tactical thought, the Polish National Defense Forces are learning from China.

The two countries are basically consistent in the field of light weapons and equipment.

Not only that, Poland also purchased tanks and aircraft from China, giving its military power extremely high combat value.

Overall, the changes in the empire have greatly enhanced the military strength of Poland, France, Germany and the Soviet Union, among which the most enhanced were Poland and France, and the Soviet Union and Germany also had a lot of enhancement effects. Once the four countries launched fiercely,

The final result of the war is still unknown.

...

As both Chinese and Japanese troops began to enter North Korea on a large scale, the two sides quickly launched a fierce battle in the Kaesong area. Kaesong has been under China's control since 1911. The military defense arrangement here has been built for many years.

, the defensive posture and level are extremely high. Although it is not as much investment as the Maginot Line, it is still difficult for the Japanese army to break through the Kaicheng Line.

After all, Cai E has not commanded such a large-scale war for many years. After the war began, he has been lukewarm and slowly wants to find out the actual level of the Japanese army. Although there was a small-scale breakthrough war in Seoul,

It is not enough to explain all the problems, and the Kaicheng Battle is the test site that Cai E wants.

At the suggestion of the Central Military Department and the emperor, Cai E chose to arrange for Lieutenant General Fu Zuoyi to be responsible for commanding the Kaicheng Campaign and serve as the commander of the First Army of the Northeast Defense Forces. This arrangement was just right, because no one understood Fu Zuoyi's characteristics better than the emperor.

Fu Zuoyi served as a first-class eunuch by the emperor for four years. He often performed military flag deduction with the emperor. His tactical planning level was extremely high. He was always one of the several new generals and officials that the emperor admired the most.

In Kaicheng, Fu Zuoyi actually had the strength to attack the Japanese army, but like Cai E, he also hoped to understand the characteristics of the Japanese army in positional wars. After all, the Sino-Japanese War of 1911 broke out at the beginning of the founding of the country. The Japanese army had developed for so many years, and

The changes in the past were quite large, and the past experience cannot be copied.

As Cai E expected, the problems exposed by the Japanese army in the Battle of Seoul could not fully represent the true level of the Japanese army. After the Kaesong Campaign was launched, the Japanese army's offensive was extremely fierce, although it lacked enough to break through the defense line and firepower.
