readx; Hiroshima, an important city in the southwest of the country, is home to the headquarters of the Third Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, this Third Army had no direct connection with the Third Army, which had previously fought in Korea, and during the Korean War, it was said that the three armies established in Korea were defeated one after another, and the First Army was not even able to escape from the headquarters, but in the Battle of Wonsan, the personnel of the headquarters of the Second Army and the Third Army finally fled back to the Hon.

After the defeat of Korea, he began to carry out a strategy of defending the homeland, constantly rebuilding the divisions lost in the Korean campaign on a large scale, and reorganizing the domestic troops into five armies, which were respectively responsible for the five major regions of the homeland, so that the first army to the third army were also reorganized, and of course the commanders in chief were no longer the original ones.

The area where the First Army was stationed was the largest, from the central and northern parts of the island from Nagoya to Akita, and most of the mainland area of the island, including Tokyo, but although the area was large, the strength of the army could only be regarded as average, because this area belonged to the absolute depth of the island, and even if China wanted to land on the mainland, it would be impossible to bypass the east coast of the island around Tokyo.

The Second Army was stationed on Hokkaido Island and Sakhalin Island, and its strength was not large, only a division and a considerable number of garrison troops were mainly to resist the Chinese troops in the north of Sakhalin, but there were not many Chinese garrisons there, only one division, and there was no plan to increase the number of troops from Sakhalin to the south.

It was said that the Third Army was stationed in the western part of Honshu Island, from Nagoya to Shimonoseki, and this area was the key area of the Army's defense, where nearly 35 percent of the Army's strength was concentrated.

He said: "The Fourth Army is stationed on Shikoku Island, and the strength of the troops here is average, no more, no less.

The Fifth Army was stationed on Kyushu Island, and Kyushu Island, as the forefront of the war against China, was also the forefront of the territorial defense plan, where up to 30 percent of the army's army strength and 80 percent of the navy were concentrated.

The western part of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island were the two areas where the main forces of the Japanese army were concentrated, in order to prevent the Chinese from landing on the mainland.

However, they did not expect that the Chinese landing did not come, but ushered in a large-scale bombing by the Chinese Air Force.

In the two wars between China and the two countries, a large number of planes participated in the war and bombed, but in the previous bombing operations, the vast majority of the bombing targets of the Chinese air force were military targets in the forward positions, and it did not say that it had launched large-scale horizontal bombing on the homeland of the two countries.

At this time, it was said, "In the headquarters of the Third Army, several generals and officers were all black.

"The enemy's air force has launched a bombing campaign against our Yamaguchi and Hiroshima for three consecutive days, and the bombing has not only destroyed a large amount of war materials hoarded by our army, but also destroyed some important local factories. A major general of the Army Aviation Corps stood in front of a map of the homeland, and the map he was pointing to was already represented by several circles.

"According to our reconnaissance and predictions, the Chinese plane took off from Busan, crossed the Tsushima Strait and invaded China's Honshu Island and Kyushu Island! Judging from the areas where we were bombed, the range of the enemy bombers was much longer than we had originally anticipated, and if we had not intercepted them, not only the western part of Kyushu, the western part of Honshu, but also the central part of Honshu Island would have been bombed. ”

As soon as this man finished speaking, a lieutenant general next to him said with a dark face: "You mean that not only Hiroshima and Nagasaki were attacked by the Chinese, but even Osaka, Nagoya, and Kyoto may be attacked?" ”

At this time, the major general of the army aviation just now said: "We do not rule out the possibility of this type, the Chinese bomber surname can develop faster than we expected!" ”

Immediately afterwards, he took out another piece of information and said: "Everyone, please see, this is the latest twin-engine long-range bomber equipped by the Chinese Air Force, although we still can't know the specific name, but from the intelligence officers lurking in China, the range of this bomber is far more than their original B4 bomber!" ”

"And based on intelligence and the air engagements during this period, our technicians can judge that the range of this bomber is far more than 1,500 kilometers, and may even reach 2,000 kilometers. In the battle, it was also found that the ceiling and speed of this bomber were extremely fast, and it was difficult for our Type 91 fighters to intercept it! The major general of the army aviation continued: "That is to say, in the short period of time in the future, the Chinese will be likely to launch bombing operations against a large number of cities in the hinterland of our country, in addition, we have learned that the Chinese are developing and testing an ultra-long-range bomber, according to the return of the hidden spy personnel, it will be a bomber with a range of 3,000 kilometers or even more than 4,000 kilometers, and our aviation force believes that the ultimate goal of these long-range bombers developed by the Chinese is to bomb our homeland." ”

"Are you trying to tell us that in the near future, we will not only need to face China's air threat in the southwest, but also the central and even northern parts of the island of Honshu, including Tokyo, will face the threat of Chinese bombing?" Senior General Minamijiro, the commander of the Third Army, who was sitting at the top, asked.

The major general of the army aviation bowed his head and replied: "That's true! ”

After hearing this, Nanjiro said: "As for whether Tokyo will be attacked by the Chinese in the future, this point naturally has the base camp to discuss defense, and the air defense on Kyushu Island is not within the scope of our discussion, and now our top priority is to establish a solid air defense line in the Tsushima Strait, and all departments will step up the deployment of anti-aircraft firepower, and complete the deployment of antiaircraft artillery groups in Hiroshima and other cities within half a month!" ”

Although it is said that the aviation units belong to the navy and the army, the aviation units in the army do not directly belong to the divisions or armies below, but have a set of command systems that can read and read.

In fact, not to mention the construction of this army aviation force, most of the other British and American air forces refer to the Chinese air force, because the Chinese air force is the first large-scale air force in the world, and its successors will inevitably be affected by this. After the establishment of its air power, the Army, like China, has successively established more than 10 flying wings, but the number of flying wings in this area is relatively small, and the number of aircraft in its possession ranges from more than 20 to 30. And the number of aircraft owned by a wing of the Chinese Air Force generally exceeds 60 or even 70 or 80.

However, in the face of the tremendous pressure of the Chinese Air Force, the Army Air Force, which deeply felt the lack of air strength, began its own reform and put forward the idea of separating combat units from logistics units, with combat units changed to flying units and logistics units changed to flight captains.

Before the war, there were three flight groups, one was the first flight group deployed in Korea, the second was the second flight group deployed in the mainland, and the third was the third flight group deployed in New Guinea and the nearby waters. After the outbreak of the war, the three flight groups were renamed the Flying Divisions, and the Fourth Flying Division, which was responsible for the defense of the Ryukyus and Kyushu Islands, was newly established.

However, after the First World War in Korea, the First Flying Division, which brought together the vast majority of the elite strength of the army's air force, was almost completely lost its planes and was forced to temporarily withdraw its establishment, but after the First Flying Division was completely lost, the remaining Second Flying Division in Korea was left with only the old and weak soldiers, and when the DPRK first failed, the Second Flying Division had only more than 20 Type 91 fighters, and the others were all old-fashioned aircraft.

As time slowly passed, Ben's army aviation was also slowly recovering its strength, and the latest Type 91 fighter jets had recovered to about 40 units, and in addition, Ben also planned to purchase fighter jets from the United States, Britain, and other countries, and Ben had already conducted relevant negotiations with the United States to purchase P12 fighter jets, but China also raised serious objections, and whether it could buy them was another matter.

And even if it is bought, the P12 of the United States is already seriously lagging behind the fighter level of China and China.

The outbreak of war has caused the level of fighter planes of China and the two countries to rise rapidly, and the fighter designers of the two countries have brought into full play their ingenuity, and problems that often take one or even two years to solve in peacetime have been concentrated on a large number of manpower and resources to tackle them, shortened to two months or even a month.

In this case, not to mention that China's F3 fighter surname can be greatly improved, even the 91 fighter fighter that says "Ben" is enough to surpass other countries except the F3 fighter in terms of surname ability after several improvements, of course, the reason why I want to import aircraft from other countries is mainly because their own fighter production is insufficient, it is difficult to keep up with the consumption of the war, in this case also need some second-line fighters to supplement.

In order to counter China's large-scale bombing, the 2nd and 4th Flying Divisions of the 2nd and 4th Flying Divisions invested almost all the combat planes that could be put into combat, and the latest Type 91 fighters went straight to participate in the air battle as soon as they appeared.

When a large-scale air battle broke out between the two countries in the southwest of the Tsushima Strait, the Chinese navy had already completed its preparations, and the huge fleet went to sea one after another, and then headed straight for the Ryukyus.
