If it were before, no one would think that the Air Force would become an important factor in determining the outcome of China and Japan.

Because there is no comparison.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army had nearly 3,000 fighter jets of various types. Although the Chinese Air Force had the strength that was not weaker than the Japanese Air Force, the actual number of fighter jets was only 600, and most of them were old products, so they could not compete with Japanese aircraft at all. There are many reasons for this, and the most criticized one was Soong Mei-ling, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force. It is said that she invested the money she bought from the planes.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides started the war, the Chinese Air Force was violently destroyed by the Japanese Air Force. Chinese Air Force pilots used their lives as a price to barely resist the opponent's offensive. However, under such circumstances, the Air Force still suffered huge losses and was unable to support ground wars. On the contrary, the Japanese army had planes on the top and tanks on the bottom, and kept ravaging the Chinese team with an almost overwhelming advantage.

At that time, both Japan and China did not attach much importance to the Air Force. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Air Force was just a helper they used to reconnaissance and encounter more troublesome obstacles. What about the Chinese? They had no idea about the Air Force at all. They could only silently bear the strafing and bombs from the sky when Japanese planes attacked.

But since the Qin Wei entered the Air Force, the situation has changed.

In the first battle, taking advantage of the Japanese's pride and carelessness, commanded the Chinese Air Force to attack Wangjiadun Airport in Wuhan at night, destroying hundreds of Japanese fighter jets parked in Wuhan; in the second battle, taking advantage of the large-scale revenge of the Japanese army, tricked the enemy planes with tactical disguise, and took the opportunity to bomb Wuhan airport again, and launched a raid when the enemy bomber group returned, defeating the Japanese aviation force again; in the third battle, he took advantage of the victory and pursued the Japanese aviation force, and when the Japanese aviation force suffered heavy losses and lost air supremacy in Wuhan and other regions, he bombed the 11th Japanese Army Command, killing Japanese Army General Moto Sugiyama and Chief of Staff of North China Front Army Tomomoto Yamashita; in the fourth battle, in the Battle of Nanchang, the Air Force launched a large-scale attack, destroying Okamura's heavy artillery brigade, chariot cluster, and a large amount of baggage, which made Okamura Nagashuai's elite troops, but he was defeated because he did not have enough supplies;

During the Five World Wars, during the Battle of Southern Guangxi, a large number of Japanese baggage and heavy weapons were destroyed, causing the Japanese firepower to be severely damaged; in the Sixth World War, a large number of fighter jets were secretly sent to the northwest region, and a sudden attack was launched while the Japanese Mongolian garrison troops launched an attack on Fu Zuoyi's troops, causing the Mongolian army to be defeated by Naosaburo's troops, and lost many important cities such as Baotou and Guisui. In the Seventh World War, the Air Force was commanded to raid for a long distance and bombed the 731 troops in the suburbs of Harbin, causing the headquarters of the 731 troops in Harbin to be almost wiped out; in the Eighth World War, in the late stage of the Changsha Battle, a clever ambush was set up, and the yin* Japanese fighter jet group entered the ambush circle, destroying more than 50 Japanese fighters with absolute strength advantage, of which more than 20 were Japan's latest Zero fighter jets, and at the same time bombed many Japanese river boats and killed the Japanese army in large numbers...

These battles caused the Japanese army to lose hundreds of pilots and to a large extent the air supremacy on the battlefields of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and even Guangxi. With the loss of air supremacy and the frequent bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army not only found that it could no longer be as difficult as before, but also struggled to fight.

How about your soldiers being trained for a long time? How about your soldiers being well supplied? So what about your soldiers having tanks and heavy artillery as support? Without air supremacy, these can only be considered empty talk.

Moreover, Japanese tanks and tanks are becoming less and less useful.

With the large-scale use of "conscienceless cannons", many experts who used this kind of artillery appeared in the Chinese team. In many cases, these experts could easily smash explosive packs on Japanese tanks and tanks within one or two hundred meters. The Japanese tanks and tanks have always been famous for their thin skin, so they suffered heavy losses under such attacks. However, this is not the most terrifying. What is terrible is that not only regular troops are using "conscienceless cannons", but even those guerrillas are also using them. In other words, even the Japanese tanks and tanks are no longer effective even if they encounter Chinese guerrillas.

What a huge blow to the Japanese?

All along, they have only a few magic weapons to win: air force, tanks and tanks, heavy artillery, and well-trained soldiers who dare to fight!

But now their air force does not have an advantage, and it can even be said to have lost consecutive battles; tanks and tanks are becoming less and less useful; heavy artillery dare not be used on a large scale, because it is possible to attract bombing from the Chinese Air Force if you are not careful; soldiers... After fighting in succession, the elite loses huge losses, and they can only be supplemented by new recruits and reserves. Most importantly, after losing in succession, the morale of the army was severely hit and the morale of the army was depressed!

If you look at all this carefully, you can find the faint and even extremely arrogant shadow of the Chinese Air Force behind these problems.

Without the Chinese Air Force, in the Battle of Nanchang, Okamura Yasuji could have completely broken into the encirclement of Luo Zhuoying with heavy artillery and tank armor clusters, and could even turn defeat into victory; without the Chinese Air Force, Naosaburo Okabe might have driven Fu Zuoyi out of Suiyuan; without the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army's losses in the Battle of Changsha would not be that great; without the Chinese Air Force, Sugiyama Moto and Yamashita Tomoto would not have died!

...

"The key is the Air Force!"

Not only Okamura Yasuji, but also Teraunuchi Shouichi and Doihara Kenji had long thought of the reasons for their successive failures. If the Chinese Air Force had not obtained air superiority on the battlefield through various means, they would not have failed so many times in succession. Even if their military intelligence was stolen and all kinds of plans were known by the Zhong** side, they could still use the strong strength of the army themselves to reverse many adverse factors. But it is precisely because of the loss of air superiority that they could not send out even if they were strong.

"Our biggest mistake was to think of the enemy as too strong." Kenji Doihara looked solemn. "Although the strength of the Chinese Air Force is getting stronger and stronger, it is not as strong as the empire can be replenished at any time. The reason why they are getting stronger and stronger is because there is no loss in many battles. But why do they have no loss? It is because we always want to get the greatest victory at the lowest price! ... Qin Wei seized our weakness, set up one trap after another, and sent our fighter jets and pilots to hell."

"Yes, they must be forced to fight!"

Shouichi's fist hit the table hard... Zhou Fohai rebelled again. Not only did he rebelled, he also took away a large number of people including Tang Mang, Sun Liangcheng, and tens of thousands of "peaceful rescue"! The influence of this matter was extremely huge. Wang Jingwei from Nanjing was even in a storm. Zhou Fohai was a confidant among Wang Jingwei's confidants, and defected from Chongqing with Wang Jingwei. Such a person, such a big man who sat in the third place in Nanjing, was no longer optimistic about Wang Jingwei's future, and even did not hesitate to "break" in such an irreversible way. Who would still be optimistic about Wang Jingwei? Who would still be optimistic about Nanjing? Who would still be optimistic about the Japanese who supported them?

If you have to evaluate Zhou Fohai’s rebellion in one sentence, it would be “the impact is extremely bad”!

Zhou Fohai's rebellion even alarmed the Japanese Emperor Hirohito. The "god man" even personally issued an order to question Soichi Tetsuichi, and the Tokyo base camp also questioned Soichi Tetsuichi's ability... So, at this moment, Soichi Tetsuichi's heart was full of anger, and there were many grievances. Who would have thought that Zhou Fohai would be rebelled? Isn't it? He is the third person of Wang Jingwei. Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, under Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, would they rebell? Obviously not. How could Zhou Fohai be rebelled?

Unpredictable and uncomprehensible.

But this tone must be released.

Kenji Doihara this time played a good role in the Chief of Staff of the Dispatch Army and quickly found a target for him to vent his anger - Qin Wei!

Because Doihira concluded that Qin Wei was the mastermind behind all this. Only this guy could think of it, and only this guy dared to make a fuss about a person of Zhou Fohai. Apart from Qin Wei, those who were engaged in spies in qing, whether it was Chen Lifu or Dai Li, would not have this idea, nor would they have the confidence to put it into action. It would be even more impossible to have the courage to let Zhou Fohai take away tens of thousands of troops while rebelling!

Only Qin Wei!

Didn't run away!

But how can I defeat that guy?

air force!

The Air Force is the foundation for Qin Wei to truly settle down and make a living.

Eliminating the Chinese Air Force will make Qin Wei feel pain to the core.

If the Chinese Air Force is wiped out, their planes can throw bombs on Chiang Kai-shek's head.

But the problem is that Qin Wei is cruel and cunning, and his use of the Air Force is even more imaginative. Although they tried their best to mobilize more than 50 Zero fighters, more than 60 ordinary fighters, and more than 50 bombers from all over China, as well as the Japanese and Soviet battlefields, they were confident that they had an overwhelming advantage, but what if Qin Wei did not take the battle? This time, they almost transferred most of the air forces in China except for the Northeast. What if Qin Wei gave them a way to avoid the real and attack the virtual at this time and performed the tricks he had performed on Naosaburo Okabe?

Whether it is Ando Rikishi in Guangzhou, Yoshio Shinozuka in Shanxi, or Shinta Tsubasa in North China, they face no weak opponents. If they lose air superiority, they are likely to defeat the war. Even if they do not defeat the war, they will inevitably suffer huge losses. The Chinese are not afraid of losses because they have little to lose, but Japan is different. They have lost several times in succession on the battlefield. If they lose again, the morale of the army will be hit harder, and it may even lead to some people losing confidence in this war.

Therefore, even if they have enough power, they never dared to expose it easily, for fear of scaring Qin Wei away!

But so many fighter planes cannot be left there forever.

Both of them had a headache about this.

However, with the blessing of Amaterasu, the opportunity finally came.

"Japan is peacefully rescuing **? Chiang Kai-shek will personally award the flags and ranks to Okamura Yanji and Nakai Ryotaro?" Throwing the newspaper in his hand on the ground, Soichi Tezuka looked ferocious: "It's just right, we will solve it together!"
