Then, naturally, the Chinese army did not give up this opportunity to pursue the victory, and warplanes and warships launched indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese airfields, and even B29 bombers in Iwo Jima and the Mariana Islands were involved...... After all, the Japanese fighters stationed in Taiwan also have a great influence on the US military's war in the direction of the Philippines, and the US military has long wanted to attack them, but the war in the Philippines is going on at a critical point, and the US military cannot send extra troops for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow that they have the Chinese fleet and B29 bombers to do it for them, why wouldn't they do it.

In fact, the TW is no lower than Okinawa for Japan, because the TW is located between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and once the TW is lost, then the Japanese army will have no transportation channel at all.

The problem is that TW has an area of 36,000 square kilometers, and there are more than 5 million people on the island, of which 1 million are Japanese, in addition, TW has been forcibly brainwashed under Japanese rule for a long time, so a considerable part of TW people are willing to fight for the Japanese, it is conceivable that attacking TW will pay a very heavy price and take a long time.

In comparison, Okinawa, with an area of more than 12 million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of thousands, will of course have much less to attack.

This is also the reason why the United States has historically chosen to attack Okinawa instead of TW.

For an island as large as TW, the more than 100 fighters and bombers of the Chinese fleet are naturally dwarfed, but with B29 participating in the war, it is different......

Since taking the Mariana Islands, the US military has been making preparations to bomb the Japanese mainland, which is actually a strategic goal for the US military to seize the Mariana Islands.

Therefore, what the US military has done in the Mariana Islands and even on various islands of various sizes, including Iwo Jima, is to desperately expand the airfield, and then stuff B29 bombers and all kinds of aerial bombs, especially incendiary bombs, into the airfield...... This is because at this time the U.S. military has invented the solidification ******, and this thing has been proved to be the most cost-effective bomb in indiscriminate bombing in actual combat, ordinary bombs, nothing more than filling the bomb with gunpowder, and after throwing it on the ground, it is nothing more than blowing up a big crater on the ground, and solidifying ****** this thing can explode a piece, especially for places with dense buildings, that explosion will cause the building facilities to ignite an inextinguishable fire and cause a serious fire.

Therefore, the vast majority of the bombs prepared by the US military for the B29 were solidified ******.

By the time Zhang Chi attacked TW, the U.S. military had prepared more than 200 B29s and tens of thousands of solidified ****** in the Mariana Islands and Iwo Jima.

(Note: When the United States launched a large-scale bombing campaign on the Japanese mainland, it had prepared more than 300 sorties of B29s, and once dispatched 334 planes to drop more than 2,000 tons of solidified ******.) ）

In fact, at this time, the U.S. military was already capable of launching a large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland, but Roosevelt was reluctant to do so because he was afraid that more Japanese troops would be brought from China to the Japanese mainland.

As a result, these solidified ****** that were supposed to be thrown into Japan were thrown into TW...... At one time, the Japanese airfield, port, oil depot, power station, ammunition depot, and bridge were all on fire.

This is what Zhang Chi said about the battle to defeat the Japanese fighters in Taiwan.

Although the oil depots, power stations, ports, and the like seem to have little to do with Japanese fighters, in fact, if you consider them at a deeper level, they are all related.

For example, fighter planes need oil, they need parts, and these oil and parts need to be transported through ports or bridges, they need electricity to be repaired, and so on.

Therefore, after such a wanton and indiscriminate bombing, coupled with the fact that the Japanese air force had suffered a great loss of vitality in the previous air battles, the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan were afraid that it would be difficult for them to organize a large-scale and organized aircraft group in a short period of time, and it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to the Chinese army's logistical supply lines.

Another effect of this battle was that the Japanese completely abandoned any plan to use fighter planes to fight the Sino-American coalition in the air.

After learning about the course of this battle, Vice Takeshi Toyoda, on the one hand, severely criticized Furushige's command mistakes, and on the other hand, he said: "As soon as our planes and the fierce American planes clashed, they were shot down one after another, like hitting a stone with an egg, and in a moment they became a one-sided situation. If this goes on for a long time, Japan will collapse immediately, and it seems that there is no other way but to ram the aircraft carrier with planes in order to cure the root cause. ”

As a result, suicide attacks by Japanese fighters were carried out in small batches before this, and after that, they were transferred to full use.

What is ridiculous is that in order to boost the mood of the Chinese people, the Japanese army began to falsely report the results of the war again.

Deputy Toyoda turned around and reported to the base camp: "Sinking 13 enemy aircraft carriers and sinking and damaging dozens of other ships." ”

When this "victory" reached Japan, there was a jubilation in Japan, and the emperor issued a special order of encouragement, and Hideki Tojo even made a public speech: "In the TW air battle, the Imperial Army has turned the tide and victory is in sight!" ”。 Celebrations were held in Tokyo and other parts of Japan, and the whole country was intoxicated by an illusory victory.

This is somewhat similar to the late Qing dynasty in China...... At that time, when foreign enemies were advancing towards Beijing step by step, the ministers did not report good news but not bad news, and celebrated the defeat as a victory.

The Chinese fleet stayed in the TW waters for a week, and by the sixth and seventh days, it had basically been unable to find any air targets.

This meant that the Chinese fleet had no point of staying in the area and returned to Iwo Jima that night to rest.

When Zhang Chi returned to the Iwo Jima headquarters, the information collected from the Chinese side was finally transferred to Zhang Chi after several twists and turns.

The reason why we say "after several setbacks" is that most of this information was obtained from the guerrillas who insisted on dealing with the Japanese army in the northeast, and the guerrillas had no channel to contact the US military overseas, so they had to upload it layer by layer, and then transfer it to the national army, and then to the US military through the intelligence agency, and then to Zhang Chi.

The situation was as Zhang Chi expected, and the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was originally stationed in the northeast, had been basically emptied...... In fact, not only the Northeast Kwantung Army, but also the North China Dispatch Army (the Japanese called the North China Front Army the North China Dispatch Army).

According to the intelligence, the reason for this was that the Japanese army gritted its teeth and attacked in the direction of the Nationalist army in the case of insufficient troops, and they hoped to open up China from north to south and join forces with the Japanese army occupying Vietnam, so they transferred a large number of troops to the direction of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guizhou, and only a few divisions of Japanese troops and puppet troops remained in the northeast and north China.

Of course, some of these Japanese troops were transferred to the Pacific theater, but the information obtained by the Chinese side was not so comprehensive, thinking that those Japanese troops were only transferred to the battlefield of the battle. (To be continued.) )
