Chapter 127: Hesitation

However, this situation is something that Yang Zhen has not thought of yet. It was envisaged that when the Soviets fulfilled this agreement, they would drag their feet and not hand over one at all until the next stage of the battle. Or it will be a big discount when it is executed. Hundreds of tanks were captured, and only a dozen, if not a dozen, were handed over to themselves.

Or simply release their own pigeons, under the pretext that not a single one has been seized, and not even a single hair will be seen by themselves. I just didn't think that the idea that the Americans would provide the Soviets with anti-United Nations tank equipment in the coming year would exceed Yang Zhen's needs.

Now there is no leisure time and energy to make a beautiful imagination of the fulfillment of the agreement by the Soviets, whom he least trusts. After being disappointed with the way and style of the Soviets became a habit, Yang Zhen and all the senior cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation did not think that the Soviets would have much hope in fulfilling the agreement.

After holding this meeting to unify thinking, Yang Zhen sent several senior cadres of the air force to his office, and carefully studied the shortcomings of the air force's planned tactics against the Japanese air raid, and what methods should be adopted to deal with possible accidents. In particular, the measures to be taken to deal with the possible interception of the Japanese army and naval aviation in northern Korea.

There is no way, all the combatants who participated in the air raid on Japan this time are almost the foundation and foundation of the anti-United Nations long-range aviation force. Except for those who have already left for England to study, almost all of the current elite of the anti-United bomber pilots are here. If the losses are too large, then it will be devastating to deal with the development of the United Bomber Force.

As long as the Americans officially enter the war, there will be no more planes to figure out. But what's the use of having more planes if there are no pilots left? Is it necessary to let those pilots who have just left the aviation school take on the heavy responsibility of the entire future development of the anti-United Nations bomber unit?

Yang Zhen, who is still somewhat uneasy, is the two military and political chiefs of the aviation force this time, and Li Ming, the deputy chief of staff of the aviation force who has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the operation. Several people studied all night, until the sky was already bright in the early morning, and finally finalized the entire battle plan for the first bombing of the Japanese mainland by the Anti-Japanese Union.

After a few people left, Yang Zhen glanced at the big Arabic numeral six on his desk desk and was opened. I stood up and walked to the window, quietly looking out the window at the snowflakes that began to flutter and flutter one after another, but I still couldn't calm down in my heart.

In two days, the whole world will take a drastic change. And this world war, which has almost spread all over the world, will change the fate of hundreds of millions of people because of this change. But in the last two days, will there be any sudden change in what should have been about to happen? Yang Zhen still couldn't really rest assured in his heart.

In the face of this change, which is related to the development of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the next few years, and even the fate of the whole of China in the next few decades. Yang Zhen kept asking himself over and over again in his heart, whether it would change fundamentally because of himself, a butterfly that inadvertently broke into this era.

Although judging from the intercepted radio signals of the Japanese army, the next movement of the Japanese army was still according to the history it was familiar with. But at that moment, even if it was a second away from finally coming, it could not be said that Yang Zhen, who was getting closer and closer to that day and was getting more and more nervous, could really let go of his heart completely.

Because even though he has signed an agreement with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, he still knows clearly that this is an agreement that can be torn up at any time, and its execution is even so fragile that it may become a piece of waste paper anytime and anywhere. Once the wheel of history is at this time, even if it deviates a little, all your efforts will become a moon in the mirror and a flower in the water.

Although Yang Zhen has too accurate judgment and foresight in the eyes of others in many events, Yang Zhen's mind has always been very clear. He clearly makes a lot of decisions, and he can't take it for granted. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that every decision I make can only be more cautious. It is better to believe in books than to have no books, and he Yang Zhen still understands this truth.

After standing for a long time, Yang Zhen finally made up his mind. If that event had happened at that moment, as he had done in the history he was familiar with, the bombing of the Japanese mainland would have continued. If the wheel of history really went off the rails at this moment, it really didn't happen. The original battle plan for the anti-coalition air raid on the Japanese mainland was completely cancelled.

He clearly knew that as long as the war between Japan and the United States did not really break out for a day, the United States and Britain would not provide any strategic offensive weapons to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Of course, maybe there will be some defensive weapons, but they will not give a single part of the strategic bombers that can attack the Japanese mainland.

For the Anti-United Nations, which does not have its own aviation manufacturing capabilities, if that day does not finally come, these dozens of Il-4 bombers may be the only long-range bombers that the Anti-United Nations can obtain before the end of the war. With such a little power, it must not be lost so casually. If history really changed on that day, Yang Zhen thought it would be better to cancel the original plan.

It's just that although Yang Zhen has made up his mind, he is still a little hesitant in his heart. After all, for the Anti-United Nations, the opportunity is too rare. Regardless of whether the Japanese army launched a war against the United States and Britain, the Japanese army's defense of the homeland was the most lax at the moment.

I'm afraid that the Japanese never thought that one day the real bomb of the Chinese would fall on their heads. I never thought that at present, the Anti-Japanese Federation still has the strength to give them a hard stab from the sky. By taking advantage of this opportunity, we can train a group of our own long-range bombing and navigation talents.

After all, creating a truly strategic air force with both offense and defense is Yang Zhen's ultimate goal. The Air Force, which only hangs around on his doorstep, is not what he really needs. In peacetime, we are talking about going out, but in wartime, we are going out. Fighting out and leading the war to the enemy's territory is what a strategic air force should do.

If the tactical air force is a shield that can only be passively beaten, then the strategic air force is really a country, a sharp sword that an army can pierce the heart of the enemy at any time. A strategic air force is what a country like China really needs.

A counterattack within the homeland can always be a tactical counterattack for a war. Only by igniting the flames of war on enemy soil can a real strategic counterattack occur. Under the circumstance that the Anti-Japanese Union currently has no navy and is unable to carry out a strategic offensive on the Japanese mainland, the air force is the only means capable of launching a strategic counterattack.

And it's a rare opportunity, more than just a symbol of a strategic counterattack. Although the military gains and losses of air raids on the Japanese mainland are not large, the benefits brought about in other areas are difficult to obtain by other means, or even victory in ground warfare.

If the bomber group of the Anti-Japanese Union at this time can carry out an air raid on the Japanese mainland, then it will play a considerable role in encouraging the anti-Japanese morale of the people of the whole country, which is already declining day by day. At the very least, it will lift the spirits of the people in the rear areas, who have suffered greatly from the bombing of the Japanese army and the soaring prices.

Compared with three years ago, Chongqing did not inflict any losses on the Japanese, and of course it was natural to lose a little face. I am afraid that the real bomb offensive of the Anti-United Nations will have a greater incentive effect. At the same time, it will also be quite advantageous in politics, so as to counter the accusations of false reporting of the results of the United Nations in some aspects, swimming without attacking, and even relying on foreign countries to gain self-respect.

There was also the letter on Yang Zhen's desk at this time, and the content of the chairman's reply to the telegram that the Anti-Japanese Federation was preparing to launch an air raid on Japan also made Yang Zhen hesitate. The chairman has great expectations as to whether the air raid will be carried out in earnest and how much damage it will bring to the Japanese mainland.

Although the military effect, the chairman did not take it too seriously. The chairman is still very clear about how much an air attack by dozens of bombers with a small bomb load can play in a blow to the military industry of an industrial country. However, as a politician, the chairman is very keenly aware of the huge political effect that it has brought about that far exceeds the military effect.

Although from the chairman's telegram, Yang Zhen could see that the chairman was also hesitating. After all, these bombers are the old foundation of the Anti-Japanese Federation and even the whole army. Once the loss is too large, it will be quite detrimental to the long-term development in the future, which is very worried about the chairman, who has never cared about the gains and losses of one city or one place.

However, in the final reply, the chairman still expressed his high hopes for the success of this matter. The chairman should not only take into account the military gains and losses, but also the political gains and losses under the current delicate situation of internal affairs. The attitude of the Central Committee, to be precise, the chairman, is also something that Yang Zhen cannot but consider.

It is only that although we know that military action is nothing but a continuation of the political struggle, war is nothing more than a means of solving the problem of the political struggle. However, Yang Zhen was still very disgusted with the political factor and interfered with military operations. Especially at this time, it is really difficult for him to make up his mind, risking the death of the long-range aviation he planned.

The pilots and navigators of these dozens of bombers are the foundation of his future development. Long-range cross-sea bombing, although actually dangerous, is far less dangerous than bombing in large depths in enemy-occupied areas inland. Because long-distance sea flights certainly bring certain difficulties to pilots and navigation, but the depth that can be used to intercept enemy ground forces is also very narrow.

The Japanese did not have radar at the moment, and the vast sea could not allow the Japanese army's ground observation posts and anti-aircraft artillery positions to deploy too far forward. Even if some alert ships will be deployed, this is basically certain. It's just that in the vast sea, how much effect can a few alert ships play in the absence of radar and only observation with the naked eye and optical instruments?

Unless the Japanese army deploys all its navy around the Japanese mainland. And all aircraft carriers will be placed in the waters around the mainland. Using these carrier-based aircraft to form a maritime defense line to cooperate with North Korean and mainland land-based fighters, otherwise the loopholes available for exploitation will be quite large.

This kind of long-range cross-sea air attack is still relatively advantageous in a certain range compared with the in-depth bombing operation in the enemy-occupied area. But the disadvantages are even greater for the anti-union. In the event that a plane is shot down or crashes, there is little chance that the flight crew will survive other than to be captured or killed. Compared with being shot down in enemy-occupied areas, with local people to help them, and even having their own guerrilla units to respond, once the bombing of the Japanese mainland is damaged, it means permanent losses.

There is no submarine that can cruise around the Japanese body and rescue pilots who have partially made a forced landing or parachuted out on the sea. There are not even seaplanes that can act with the bomber group and land on the sea at any time. Even if the pilots parachuted out of the sea, they were either captured by the Japanese Navy or could only be buried in the vast sea.
