Therefore, there are sometimes several explanations and possibilities for combat intent, and several explanations seem to make sense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But what the enemy's real intentions are, then only the enemy himself knows.

This kind of thinking of the Japanese is exactly what Zhang Chi wants......

Of course, Zhang Chi did not want the Japanese to perceive the combat intentions of the Chinese army from the very beginning and strengthen the defense and replenish the troops in Northeast China in time.

Therefore, Zhang Chi also made some small moves in this regard.

For example, Zhang Chi sent fighter planes to reconnoiter the waters around Okinawa, and even went deep into the airspace of Okinawa from time to time to bomb and then easily turn back...... This move is indeed dangerous, but the danger is not very great, mainly because most of the Japanese planes in Okinawa are civilian aircraft, they are all used as suicide attack aircraft, and they have no air combat capability at all.

As for the Zero fighters, the problem is that Okinawa Island is more than 1,200 square kilometers, and the more than 100 land-based fighters transferred by the Japanese army from the mainland and China are simply not enough to defend it...... More than 100 fighters mean that each fighter has to defend an average of 1.2 square kilometers of airspace, which is an impossible task for the Japanese flying division.

In fact, the main thing is that the radar of the Japanese army is not advanced enough.

If the radar is advanced enough, it is the mode of modern air combat...... The enemy fighters have already discovered the enemy fighters who are still far away from the island, and before the enemy fighters have arrived, the fighters have already taken off and entered the designated airspace to meet the battle.

At this time, the Japanese radar was more often a decoration, and its defense mode was still to patrol the perimeter of the island with fighter planes, and then urgently meet the situation when it was discovered.

Such an approach could easily be exploited by the Chinese military...... The Chinese military is equipped with the US military's anti-aircraft radar, which can clearly see the position of the Japanese patrol planes, and when the patrol planes are far away, they will suddenly plunge into the gap on Okinawa Island and bomb them indiscriminately.

In particular, on one occasion, Zhang Junhua personally led a formation of ten Wildcat fighters for flight training, and on a temporary whim, he led the formation into the air over Okinawa Island to have a good time.

As a result, he didn't expect this temporary move to make him a fortune.

At that time, a large number of civilian aircraft were being trained at Yomitan Airport on the island of Okinawa...... They may have seen that the weather was good that day, and the fighter planes in charge of patrolling reported safety, so they rushed out to practice take-off, landing, and flying at the airport.

Zhang Junhua was a little stunned when he saw that scene, there were planes everywhere over and near the entire airport, all kinds of them, like dragonflies in summer, and there were rows of planes neatly parked on the airport, and there were Japanese soldiers who looked like pilots around them explaining something.

Zhang Junhua and his entourage would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately dived down, and the "Wildcat" fighters were not able to capture ...... civilian planes in a chaotic manner, and with the sound of gunshots, those civilian planes turned into a fireball in the air and exploded and disintegrated, or planted on the ground with black smoke.

Afterwards, Zhang Junhua regretted it a little.

When he returned, he thought that when he encountered such a situation, he should first hit the neatly lined planes on the airfield, so that he could destroy as many Japanese planes as possible with limited bullets.

However, he is not to blame, because the pilot's combat habit or sensitivity is to shoot down enemy planes flying in the air first...... The reason is simple, flying in the air is more threatening!

But the situation at that time was a little different, most of those flying in the air were non-threatening civilian aircraft, but Zhang Junhua was overjoyed for a while and didn't turn his brain.

However, the results at that time were also extremely impressive, with 10 "Wildcats" shooting down more than 100 Japanese planes in total, and each fighter shot down more than 10 planes on average...... In the end, it was only a group of Japanese troops who rushed to fight in a zero-battle before Zhang Junhua and others had to withdraw from the battlefield.

At this point, Zhang Junhua was quite wise and did not fight with the Japanese army...... Although Zhang Junhua was already confident that he could defeat the Japanese army's zero battle at this time, the problem was that the ten "Wildcat" bullets were almost finished, and the mobility of the "Wildcat" was not as good as that of the zero battle.

Another small action is that Zhang Chi often sends some divers to the vicinity of Okinawa to reconnoiter the hydrology.

This reconnaissance hydrology is not fake, anyway, this information will be used when it really attacks Okinawa in the future, but these divers are ...... when they are reconnoitring the hydrology From time to time, they will deliberately pop up for the Japanese army to find out.

Of course, these news would soon reach the ears of Hideki Tojo, so Hideki Tojo was even more convinced that the target of the Sino-US coalition was Okinawa.

At this time, there was another piece of good news from the Chinese army: The 16 "Hellcat" fighters trained in Rabaul had basically completed their training and could be rebuilt, and the training of the "Fletcher"-class destroyers was nearing completion.

This news still surprised Zhang Chi, because the US pilots had to train for three months when they switched from "Wildcat" to "Hellcat", while the Chinese pilots had only been trained for two months.

(Note: The "Wildcat" fighter and the "Hellcat" fighter are both produced by the Grumman Aircraft Factory, and they are very versatile, so the "Hellcat" is also nicknamed "the big brother of the Wildcat", so the training from the "Wildcat" to the "Hellcat" does not take too long)

If the Chinese pilots will be stronger than the US pilots, then even Zhang Chi does not believe it...... How many ace pilots are there in the US military, and their flight training is not comparable to the training of Chinese pilots when they are in China, where gasoline is more expensive than gold.

So Zhang Chi was a little skeptical at first that the American instructor was perfunctory.

After contacting the American instructor in charge of the "Hellcat" training in the United States, Zhang Chi learned that this was not the case...... These Chinese pilots were indeed qualified, which surprised even the American instructors.

Later, the American instructor analyzed that this may be because Chinese pilots are on the verge of training with various types of fighters, because according to his investigation, Chinese pilots have flown at least five types of aircraft, which may be the reason why they can learn in a shorter time.

As soon as the American instructor said this, Zhang Chi suddenly realized.

In China, pilots are lucky as long as they have an airplane to fly, of course, they can't ask for any type of aircraft, they have to learn to fly no matter what...... It's a bit like equipment made in all nations.

That didn't change until they entered the Flying Tigers.

However, this experience has forged them a stronger ability to learn and adapt.
