Chapter 964: 2 weeks of air combat
"I'm also an ace!" Gao Shijie shouted excitedly.
"I'm so angry, it's just a little bit. That little devil was almost my prey! There's one more left! The annoyed voice of Wang Shizhen, a classmate of the aviation school, came from the radio.
"Willing to lose! I'm the trump card first. Remember, a victory cigar, to Borneo! Gao Shijie teased.
"Not bad! Our squadron also has three trump cards! There was no movement from Wang Shizhen for a long time, but the voice of squadron leader Zhao Zhizhong with a smile came.
Immediately, Zhao Zhizhong's voice raised an octave and shouted on the radio: "Little rabbits, listen up." Our goal is to ......"
"All-ace squadron!" Everyone on the radio laughed and shouted in unison.
With the return of the main Japanese force, in just one week, at least 1,000 warplanes returned from the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands, and more than 500 warplanes were flown out of the Japanese mainland.
At least a thousand Japanese fighters went around looking for trouble with the Chinese fighters.
Hu Wen, commander of the 3rd Air Force, strongly requested that this opportunity be used to sharpen the many pilots in China, which was exactly what Meng Xiang wanted.
The seemingly ferocious counterattack of the Japanese was not much of a threat in fact.
After such a long battle, although the Japanese also emerged more than a hundred aces, a large number of elites were lost in the battle, and now the Japanese pilots are rookies.
Compared with Huaxia, in the continuous war against Japan, getting rid of the rookie status of zero eggs, there are many qualified pilots who shoot down less than 5, but there are not many more than 5, and the standard for Huaxia's definition of the trump card is 10, and more than 5 can only get the elite logo and related medals.
Liu Cuigang, who is still active on the front line, still ranks first in the Huaxia ace list with 38 planes, and it can be said that the past is on the entire world ace list, but the number of Huaxia aces is now only 72, and only 18 people have more than 20 records.
After all, at present, China is only at war with Japan. If it weren't for the previous fight with the Russians, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be this number. And some aces are more responsible for the task of training those rookies. There are fewer times to go to war.
Their efforts are not without results, and the rookies in China have been trained very solidly in their basic skills after Meng Xiang smashed down various bases to build fighters at any cost. It's just that there is a lack of actual combat drills.
In order to make many Chinese pilots see the blood of bayonets, basically all air groups took turns to go to the front line to deal with Japanese pilots.
In this way, although most of the Chinese pilots have a chance to fight in real combat, it is difficult for them to come up with trump cards in the short time of destroying the enemy.
Moreover, there are more wolves and less meat, and in order to ensure the safety of pilots, they will deal with Japanese fighters. Huaxia often fights more and less.
There is no problem with these methods against the Japanese, but if they really want to deal with the American fighters who are more adept at overwhelming the pressure of absolute superiority, the Chinese pilots still need to sharpen. It's not just about qualifying, it's about more elites, and even trump cards that determine the outcome of a battle.
As a result, under the instructions of Meng Xiang, the last air counterattack force of these Japanese became the battlefield for the promotion and training of Chinese pilots.
Especially fighting on Japanese soil. The rescue conditions were a little worse, and qualified pilots were needed to deal with the elite threat hidden by the Japanese in a group of rookies, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.
Compared to those who are attacked, it is easy to have a blank head. The rookies who are at a loss for what to do, even if those old birds in China do not have a record, they are also in a strong psychological condition, at least they can play a normal escape and cooperation skills in training under the sneak attack of the Japanese ace. It only takes a few more seconds to fight, and the companions and the Huaxia elites and aces who are pressing the formation will quickly come to the rescue.
Since discovering that the Japanese elite or ace pilots were insidiously mixed with the rookies to sneak attack, there are more and more elite and ace pilots in the Huaxia air formation, but they still can't fully take into account the increasing number of Huaxia fighter groups.
In just a week, at least 3,000 Chinese fighters poured into the skies over the Japanese mainland, looking for a predator.
Even if the skilled old birds don't have the ace to guard the formation, they can still take advantage of the formation coordination and fighter performance. Fight against the elite and aces of Japanese pilots, and even use the strength of the team to overturn those Japanese aces.
In 2 weeks, over Kyushu, Hokkaido, and the main island, the Japanese lost 24 aces and more than 100 elites, as well as about 1,000 rookie cadet consumables. And the number of Chinese trump cards. However, the number of students increased rapidly by 31, and the total number exceeded the 100 mark. What has attracted people's attention together with this is the brilliant record of 1,300 fighters shot down by the Chinese pilots.
Of course, there is also the fall of 85 Huaxia fighters and the loss of 30 pilots who have paid little attention to outsiders.
After all, Japan's elite and ace pilots are not muddy, even rookie cadets are fanatical and dare to launch suicide attacks, exchanging injuries for bayonets, if it were not for the Chinese pilots' mount performance rising again, I am afraid that this loss figure will be even greater.
More than 100 jet fighters of various types took out the battle, and a total of 345 Japanese fighters of various types were shot down, and 6 Japanese aces died at the hands of jet fighters, while the loss of jet fighters was only 5 shot down and 1 person died.
This also strengthened Mengxiang's belief in speeding up the upgrading of jet fighters.
A large number of base-built jet planes are rapidly consumed on the high-level training grounds, which have doubled in number, while the new jet fighters produced by Huaxia have left the production line one by one, half of them are in service, and half of them are loaded into strategic hangars for backup.
Although Meng Xiang had always had doubts about the safety of the base-built weapons that were converted from energy time and space, he was sure of the role they had played.
No matter how awesome the Space-Time Administration is, can it bring back to life the people killed by the base-made weapons? Can you casually erase the skills learned with base weapons from people's minds? Can the big pits dug by the base build machinery be restored to their original state?
In Xiaohua, it has been concluded that the space-time management bureau has not changed the ability of various time and space at will, even if he does not trust the buildings built by the base, and gradually reduces the application scope of the building materials produced by the base, but increases the application of the construction machinery of the base.
A series of activities to transform the earth are vigorously carried out on the land of China under the condition that the base has sufficient energy.
A strategic hangar deep in the hollowed-out hinterland of the mountains or underground is just one of them.
Even if the reliability of the base is debatable, Meng Xiang built his own base.
On the border, in the key inland areas, on the edge of key cities, in the Taihang, Qinling, Tanggula Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, Qilian Mountains, Daxing'an Mountains, Nanling, as well as the Tianshan Mountains, the Ural Mountains, the Sikhote Mountains, the Trans-Khingan Mountains, the Chersky Mountains, the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Bagu Mountains and many other large mountain ranges, new bases and defense systems have been built one after another.
Of course, all this was carried out secretly without affecting the civil economic system in China, and there were 1.5 million engineers and members of the construction corps who had changed careers, and with the support of the main labor force of the base, they were building China's own huge defense system.
Even if it is impossible to complete the construction of China's defense system in one go, it will at least resist the threat of the United States or other external forces to China.
With the help of the engineering strength of the base, trying his best to squeeze out every bit of strength of the base, Meng Xiang named the more reasonably planned three-line plan the name of the "Underground Great Wall" and started it in advance.
Involving many branches of the navy, land, and air forces, construction, transportation, metallurgy, manufacturing, and other industries, and bases for various research and development programs such as missiles and nuclear bombs, are only a part of it.
"For a hundred years!" From the very beginning, Meng Xiang came according to the standards of dealing with nuclear war, and strived to retain the vitality and seeds of China's rejuvenation in the face of all accidents.
Of course, Meng Xiang also understands that this is only the last resort, and even the soft-footed Americans are likely to compromise with Huaxia early, and even the base will not have accidents, but leaving a back hand is a must for every plan and action.
Meng Xiang will not consume too much national strength for this huge project that will take one or two generations or even longer to complete, and make this generation of people who have just come out of the struggle for food and clothing to bear the burden.
He's just squeezing every ounce of the base's capacity out so as not to go to waste.
Even under his regulation, the transformation of the base is not only limited to the military, but also the large water conservancy projects such as canals, dams, and reservoirs in the land of China also have the shadow of the base's power everywhere.
Only when the strength of the economy, science and technology, and other aspects has been improved, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are rich and the country is strong, can China build a truly invisible Great Wall to resist the ambitions of foreign enemies.
"The Great Wall built in the hearts of every citizen is the strongest and longest!" This is another famous sentence of Meng recorded in the new history.
Improving the level of the entire people in all aspects, and instilling the concepts of the rights and obligations of the people into the hearts of every citizen along with the subsistence allowance policy, is the greatest effort made by Meng Xiang to prevent accidents. The relatively complete industrial system and powerful military strength that China has initially established have also benefited from the improvement of the quality of the people.
More qualified workers and qualified soldiers have become a brick and tile for Huaxia to improve its strength and gradually become stronger, and it has also become the source of Meng Xiang's confidence gradually increasing.
"The battle situation on the front line is almost solid, and the Japanese air power is almost depleted, so we can't wait for the Japanese to exchange our loot for American aid to deal with us! It's time to make a difference again! Meng Xiang's order was issued again. (To be continued)
