Chapter 315 Unacceptable reality! “Won…” Meng Fangliao said after hanging up the phone. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was silent for a while before he asked. "How's the record?" "The Japanese army was shot down more than 20 fighter planes, and ours was shot down three fighter planes. The pilots parachuted safely and are currently being searched and rescued. Five other fighter planes were damaged, which is not very serious." Meng Fangliao said quickly. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The loss was not very big. If it hadn't been for the radar this time, I'm afraid there would have been more than this loss. In addition, the P51 fighter jet has made great achievements. Otherwise, the loss will definitely be more than this. After all, compared to the P51 fighter, the performance of the P40 fighter is still a bit worse.
"Sir, this is a big victory." Meng Fanglia felt that this was a big victory. "It is indeed a big victory. This time we can rely on the radar to win a big victory. I'm afraid we will have such a good opportunity next time." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. "If we want to continue to maintain our absolute advantage, we can only find a way to replace it with newer fighters." "Do you want an updated fighter jet?" Meng Fan was confused. He felt that the P51 fighter jet was already a very advanced fighter jet. One fighter plane can overwhelm several Japanese fighter planes. Isn't this advanced enough? To him, this is already the most advanced fighter jet in the world. He couldn't imagine what a more advanced fighter would look like. "You don't think this is the most advanced fighter jet, do you?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the confused expression on Meng Fanglia's face and chuckled. "Isn't it?" Meng Fanlao asked. "Of course not. I know that the list I handed to the German guy last time included the transfer of rocket technology. It's a pity that the German guy refused." Cun Yunsheng said with some regret. The Germans had a lot of black technology in their hands. Why was the military level of the United States so strong later? Isn't it just because it absorbed the black technology of the German army that it is so powerful? And now what Cun Yunsheng wants to do is to use the intelligence he has to harvest the wool of the German army. "One of the technologies is called jet engine technology. If you can get this technology, you can develop jet combat with a speed of well over a thousand kilometers per hour. If it can be born, the way of air combat will be completely rewritten." Cun Yunsheng's tone was full of envy. For him, it was impossible to crush the Japanese army all the time with propeller fighters alone, so he had to find other ways. Because the Japanese military's aerospace technology is not very bad, once it feels pressure, it can also explode with terrifying capabilities. The energy unleashed by any country with a complete industrial system must not be underestimated. "Jet fighter?" Meng Fanglia felt that this thing had exceeded his knowledge and was too unfamiliar to him. "Well, the German army has already started researching, no, or Britain and the United States are also researching jet fighters, but naturally they are a little behind the German army." Cun Yunsheng nodded at first, and then said regretfully.
"The Germans are so powerful?" Meng Fanlao felt a little numb. Everyone was obviously using propeller-type fighters, but in the end, you were already using jet fighters. This was too fast. "Yeah, otherwise how could I extend the lives of the Germans? I just want them to last a little longer and we can get more technology, equipment and other stuff." "But it doesn't matter. If I didn't give it this time, I will definitely give it next time." Cun Yunsheng was not worried at all. "Sir, I finally understand why Zhao He made several reports and applied for more tanks, but you rejected them. However, you have never rejected the equipment requested by the Air Force." Meng Fangliao said. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled. "The climate here is like a tropical rain forest. Why do we need so many tanks? It's enough." "Only vigorously developing the air force and navy is the right way to go." … "Sir, although we destroyed many Japanese fighter planes at one time, the losses were not small. The Japanese fighter planes are indeed very powerful." As soon as they landed, Gao Yuntian came to Zhang Yang and talked about the results of this battle. Hearing this, a look of pain flashed across Zhang Yang's face. Except for the three shot down, among the fifty fighter planes, others such as P40 fighter planes were all injured. Even if it was not a big problem, it would take several days to repair it. This means that these fighters will temporarily lose their combat effectiveness. They only have a total of more than 200 fighter jets, excluding the 50 fighter jets supporting the fourth theater. There aren't many fighter jets that can take off. It can be said that the fifty fighter jets that took off this time are basically the entire Sichuan Army. If half of this is lost, then the Sichuan Army's air force will be completely useless. Other fighter planes are used to train new pilots. Although the propeller fighter training time is very short, theoretical knowledge, tactics, etc. all need time to accumulate. Coupled with the scarcity of fuel, the flight time in the sky was very short. "Don't underestimate the little devils. Their fighter planes are still very strong. Our current foundation is still too poor. Just deploying dozens of fighter planes will affect our combat effectiveness." Zhang Yang said. "Yes, some of the fighter jets are biplanes. They can only be used to train new students and are not suitable for combat at all. It would be great if there were a large number of P51 fighter jets. This time, all Japanese fighter jets can be completely retained. Gao Yuntian said. It seems that there are more than 200 fighter planes, which can be regarded as a strong force. But dozens of them were bombers, and dozens more were old biplane fighters. It is usually used to train new students, and they are sent to the battlefield to deliver food to the Japanese army. After this calculation, only a hundred fighter jets can fight. In addition, fifty aircraft were deployed to support the fourth theater. This time, all the main forces were dispatched. This is not good news! According to the information received, the Japanese army has deployed a flying division in Yangcheng with almost 400 fighter planes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's heart sank suddenly. No! They must equip more fighters. "Intensify the training and let the students who have been training for close to fifty hours get used to it and prepare to take them into the air to fight." Zhang Yang thought for a while and said. At the moment, he can only rush the ducks to put them on the shelf. Although he feels that those students are still rookies, the current situation is urgent and he can't care so much. "Please hurry up on this matter. I'm going to see Commander Cun to see if we can get some more fighter planes. Otherwise, we may have to struggle to deal with the Japanese fighter planes next." "Yes, sir." … "Sir, our air force only has a few dozen fighter jets left that can take off. You have to think of a way. Otherwise, we may not be able to withstand a large-scale air attack by the Japs next time." As soon as he arrived at the Governor At the house, Zhang Yang complained to Cun Yunsheng. After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Cun Yunsheng was silent for a while, and Meng Fangla next to him couldn't help but say. "There are more than two hundred fighter planes, why are they not enough?" You must know that the Sichuan Army Corps at the beginning did not have a single fighter jet. Facing Japanese fighter plane attacks, they could only avoid it or use anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense. Later, through Stilwell, a batch of fighter jets were obtained. Later, these fighter jets were taken back by the British. In the end, Cun Yunsheng found Fertig and assembled part of the fighter jet by picking up trash, mainly the wreckage of the plane. One after another, the Germans also provided some fighter parts. Together with the fighter planes left over from Siam and the French army, today's Sichuan Army Air Force is assembled. More than two hundred fighter jets are already quite large. In the end, telling him fighter jets wasn't enough. "Can't those fighter planes be repaired?" "That's not true. It can be repaired with some time. Most of the damage is to the fuselage, and there are no problems with the important components." Zhang Yang explained quickly. "There are only about fifty fighter jets left, and I feel panicked." There is no way. The Air Force started too late and has limited power. "Sir, if there are only a few dozen fighter jets, it's really not good news. How about taking back the fighter jets that support the fourth theater?" Meng Fangliao suggested. If taken back, there would be hundreds of fighter planes, and together with radar, they would be able to deal with the Japanese army. "Well, I know this, and I will solve the trouble for you." Cun Yunsheng nodded, and then said seriously. "You go back first and seize the time for training. In addition, it's time to let those students go to the battlefield. It won't work if you keep protecting them like this." “How can a young eagle grow without setbacks?”
"If you don't give them a chance to spread their wings, how do you know if they will become eagles?" "You can't protect them like this all the time, otherwise they will always be flowers in the greenhouse. I know what you are thinking. You are just worried that they will kill the Japanese army, but how do you know if there is an eagle among them? Maybe someone is a genius. You can become a trump card if you fight.” "This is a life-and-death war, and sacrifice is necessary. Thinking about the soldiers and civilians killed by the Japanese army, can we still be afraid of sacrifice?" Hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded solemnly: "Sir, don't worry, I know what to do. I have already asked each captain to start taking off the students who have met the standards." "Very good. As for the fighter plane issue you are worried about, I will solve it. All you have to do is win this air battle." Seeing Zhang Yang's good attitude, Cun Yunsheng was very satisfied. Now there are almost more than 20 P51 fighter jets a month, which is a squadron. A brigade can be assembled in two or three months, and there is no need to panic when facing a Japanese flying division. Over time, the number will increase. With one or two thousand aircraft, the air superiority over Nanyang will be completely in their hands. … Yangcheng, headquarters, Lieutenant General Nakazo Moritaka is furious. "Baga, you idiots, forty fighter planes can't defeat the Chinese Army? And you also lost more than half of the fighter planes. Are you all useless?" "Where are your brains? What have you done? Are you aerial warriors a bunch of trash?" "Asshole, there are more than twenty fighter planes. When did our Third Flying Division suffer such a big loss?" Lieutenant Colonel Kurosaki Junichi, who was leading the team, was standing in front of Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka, his head lowered and he did not dare to speak. Anyone who is familiar with Lieutenant General Nakaso Moritaka knows that when he gets angry, he should never try to defend himself. Because the more he defends himself, the angrier he becomes. When the time comes, you will definitely be the unlucky one. If it's a lighter case, you might be slapped in the face like a pig's head; if it's a serious case, you might be ordered to commit seppuku. This is everyone's experience. The best way is to wait until he gets angry. "Tell me, why are the losses so great?" After all his anger, Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka softened his tone a lot. The previous shooting down of more than ten fighter jets in Wuzhou City had left him extremely exposed. Thinking, I must go back for revenge. Otherwise, if anyone knew about it, his face would be completely humiliated. They simply sent forty fighter planes to bomb the Sichuan Army's airport, making sure to give the Sichuan Army some color. Who knows, the lesson will not work! More than twenty fighter planes flew in.
This made him even more angry! "Your Excellency, Commander, the performance of the China Army's fighter planes is far superior to ours. Whether it is speed or altitude, they are better than us. Moreover, their fighters are all metal." "More importantly, their fighter planes carry four machine guns, so we are absolutely vulnerable in terms of firepower." "No, it should be six machine guns." Lieutenant Colonel Kurosaki Junichi explained. At that time, he saw a P51 fighter jet with six machine guns firing simultaneously, like a goddess scattering flowers. Bullets were everywhere and there was no way to dodge them. Many Japanese pilots were caught off guard and hit by bullets, causing their fighter planes to be shot down. "We must apply to the base camp to produce more advanced fighters." "Our fighter planes are no longer able to adapt to future air combat, and we must follow up." "If it weren't for the excellent technology of the warriors of the Imperial Army, our losses would have been greater this time." Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Kurosaki Junichi praised him again. There is nothing wrong with this. If it weren't for their excellent technology, the number of fighters that escaped could be counted on one hand. "You mean, apart from the fact that their fighter planes are more advanced than ours, they are inferior to us in terms of flight technology and tactical maneuvers?" "Hai, your Excellency, Commander, is indeed wise." Lieutenant Colonel Kurosaki Junichi responded quickly. "Baga, do you know what you are talking about? Do you mean that the empire's aircraft are not as good as those of the Chinese?" Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka found it difficult to accept. When did the imperial planes become inferior to those of the Chinese? No! In other words, their fighter jets are not as good as rice beasts. You must know that on the Pacific battlefield, the Zero fighter was a fighter that overwhelmed the rice beasts. Now someone told him that his Type 1 "Falcon" fighter plane could not defeat Mi Zhu's fighter plane. Doesn't this mean that their fighter performance is not as good as the Navy's Zero fighter? If the people in the navy found out, what kind of ridicule would they receive? Before this, their Type 1 "Falcon" fighter had the same status as the Zero fighter. "Your Excellency Commander, this is true..." Kurosaki Junichi wanted to explain something else. As a result, Lieutenant General Nakaso Moritaka did not listen at all. "Baga, you are a coward. There is no way that the Chinese army's fighter planes are more advanced than ours." He has always believed that his own fighter planes are the best, but now someone tells him that the Chinese people, whom he once looked down upon, are now equipped with more advanced fighters than them. This was hard for him to accept! "Your Majesty Commander, this is true. Our fighter planes are indeed inferior to the other's."
"Baga..." "Your Excellency, Commander, perhaps, we should really ask the base camp to upgrade the fighter planes given to us." At this time, the chief of staff next to him said in a timely manner. "Tianzhu has shipped back a lot of steel recently." "It is said that many people are already eyeing these steels. Our Army Aviation really needs more advanced fighters." This sentence made Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka completely silent. (End of chapter)
