Chapter 381: Start Preparing in Advance

Looking at Fang Ziyi's regretful expression, Yang Zhen wanted to get angry. The people in the Political Department are thinking too much, and they push the talents who come to the door out, but what are you doing with Fang Ziyi. It doesn't make sense in the Political Department, you can always come to me and the commissar. Why didn't you say it before, but now that people want to leave, they want to get up to find your superiors.

But thinking of Fang Ziyi's previous experience, Yang Zhen finally gave up getting angry: "In this way, you go and hang up a phone call to the headquarters and tell them that I won't go back for the time being today, and I will be in your aviation camp." After we finished talking, you took me to apologize to the family and beg them to stay. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen glanced at Fang Ziyi and Liming in front of him, and finally suppressed the idea of getting angry: he said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I am not a person with three heads and six arms, and I can't do everything in everything. It is even more impossible to know everything at the first time. ”

"We are now in a situation where all branches of the armed forces have crossed the threshold and entered the track of rapid development. We are also at the best of times, and if we miss this opportunity, we leaders will be the sinners of the whole nation. ”

"It's true that I'm younger than all of you in age, but I'm also a mortal in the flesh and I know how to be tired. My personal energy is also limited, and it is impossible to do everything in every way. You, the heads of various branches of the military, have to share more for me, the number one, and let me relieve some pressure, so that I can occasionally take a breath, okay? ”

"Don't always think about waiting for ready-made, waiting for me to be busy making the meal by myself, serving it to you, serving the meal, and then stretching out the chopsticks? You told me earlier about this matter, why are you so passive today? Even if I have been on the front line, but the commissar has been presiding over the work in the rear, why don't you go to the commissar to solve it? ”

"I don't want a next time for today. If there is a next time, I will really hurt people away, and I will hold you responsible as commanders and political commissars. This is the end of this matter, and I will do that man's work for you. But again, I am not a god with three heads and six arms, and there are some things that you, as a senior commander, must remember the burden on your shoulders and take your responsibilities. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's tone, the indescribable tiredness was revealed. Let's take a look at the fact that although among all the cadres above the division level of the Anti-Japanese Federation, although they have the highest positions, they are also the youngest in terms of age, and even the vast majority of cadres above the regiment level are older than him. But right now, on the head without a military hat, the number one with white hair that has been exposed, Fang Ziyi's intestines are about to turn green.

It's just that although he opened his mouth, Fang Ziyi finally chose to remain silent and did not make any excuses for himself. One is that he doesn't want to defend anything now, and he doesn't think he has any reason to defend himself. Wrong is wrong, there is nothing to say, and if you explain it, you are shirking responsibility.

As soon as Er closed his eyes now, he remembered the mountain at the east gate of Baique Garden, his hometown in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and the white bones on the mountain. When there is a conflict with a higher political department, it is customary to choose silence. Because on that mountain that he will never forget, there are his deputy division commander, two regimental political commissars, one regiment commander, and more than 500 comrades-in-arms of his 10th Division and 30th Regiment of the Red Fourth Army.

He regretted that this problem that should have been easy to deal with had been put off because of that slight concern in his heart, until now it had finally become a dilemma. Facing One's bloodshot eyes, he knew he could have avoided letting things get to this point. But he couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Looking at Fang Ziyi's somewhat regretful expression, but he didn't mean to defend himself at all, and Dawn on the side was equally silent on such issues. Yang Zhen, who knew what they were afraid of, could only let out a deep sigh weakly. Some historical events are difficult to completely eliminate the shadow on people's hearts, and they can only be diluted little by little.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen still changed the topic: "If there is anything else between the two of you, bring it up together today, and let's study and discuss it together." I'll tell you two that there won't be this shop after this village. You are all veterans of the Red Army, and you know that after a big war, there are a lot of things to follow, and I can't spend too much time with you. ”

Yang Zhen changed the topic, whether it was Fang Ziyi or Liming, after breathing a sigh of relief, Liming, who was currently the director of the Strategic Bombing Command of the Anti-United Nations Air Force and the director of the training department of the Anti-United Nations Air Force, said: "No. 1, this kind of British aircraft, after the first batch arrived at the base area, I personally flew this kind of aircraft for a little experience. ”

"Although the Soviets have also handed over to us before, more than a dozen aircraft of the same type equipped by the air forces of the three Baltic countries. But at that time, those planes had been seriously damaged, and they could not fly at all, and they were not even indiscriminate. Although this batch of aircraft is the second batch of aircraft of the same type that we have taken over, it is the first batch of aircraft that can fly. ”

"After the first batch of aircraft was assembled and handed over, I managed to organize a group of flight instructors to conduct a test flight. He also secretly fought with the two Japanese Navy planes in our hands, conducted a certain confrontation exercise, and studied the techniques and tactics of this aircraft against the new Japanese aircraft. ”

At the same time, he also made some explorations on the performance of the new combat aircraft of the Japanese Army. The planes of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force, although the Navy has always been faster than the Army. However, through the comparison of the Type 96 and Type 97 fighters equipped by the Japanese army and navy, it is found that in fact, the two fighters are basically the same. The prominence is almost the same, and the fatal parts are almost the same. ”

"The new fighter of the Japanese Army that fought with our army last year, that is, the Type 1 fighter that is now fighting in the Southeast Asian theater, according to the feeling of the pilots we fought with at that time, the combat performance of this aircraft is not much different from that of the Zero War. However, it is weaker than Zero in terms of firepower, and slightly inferior to Zero in terms of maximum level flight speed, but its defensive performance is better than that of Zero Combat. ”

"It's just that because our army has not been able to capture this kind of aircraft, it is impossible to find out the performance of this aircraft in detail. The performance of such an aircraft can only be judged by the personal feelings of the pilots who participated in the war last year. However, this approach is very inaccurate in judging the actual combat performance of an aircraft. ”

"Pilots have different abilities and different feelings on the battlefield. This is only one of the methods, but it is simply not possible to fully grasp the full capabilities of a Type 1 fighter. In addition to last year's operation, after we shot down four Japanese modified planes for the first time, the Japanese army immediately withdrew all these planes from the battlefield, so that we did not have a comprehensive understanding of the performance of this kind of aircraft at that time. ”

"At the same time, during this battle, several of our squadron leaders reported to the commander. The performance of the Japanese fighters in this battle was significantly higher than that of the same type of enemy planes we encountered last year. They were all sure that what they had encountered was last year's Zero, not the almost identical Zero. ”

"In order to better grasp the latest improved fighter of the Japanese army, the actual technical and tactical level. So we have a simulated air battle with all the newly arrived aircraft through the Zero in our hands. It is not only necessary to be proficient in the performance of the Zero Battle, but also to be prepared for the possibility of encountering this type of aircraft in the future. ”

"As you know, the flight instructors at our aviation school are all pilots who have shot down at least two or more Japanese planes, and they are all our most skilled and tactical veterans. Although the Zero War is the newest fighter of the Japanese Navy, our main opponent, the Japanese Army Aviation, is not equipped. ”

"But when the performance of the two aircraft is roughly equal, I think there is still some reference to find out their weaknesses by simulating air combat. In particular, what we have now is that this kind of fighter, which has actually been completely defeated in the Southeast Asian theater, will probably be the main fighter of our army for a long time. ”

"At the end of the exercise, I gathered all the pilots and made an assessment of the Hurricanes. All the pilots who participated in the simulation agreed that this aircraft had weak firepower, but it was better than the new Japanese aircraft. Although the range is a little too short, the climb rate and level flight speed are okay. ”

"In terms of low-altitude performance, it is slightly better than our original P39 fighter. If tactics are used correctly, improve the firepower. The two new fighters against the Japanese army were not without the strength of a war. The most important thing is that the fuselage is strong, and its ability to resist strikes far exceeds that of Japanese aircraft. ”

"Through a large number of simulated air combat exercises, almost at any cost, we have figured out a set of effective tactics to deal with Zero Warfare. In the case of the effectiveness of the Zero Battle, the experience of air combat with such aircraft last year and this year is summed up. I don't think we're necessarily going to be like the British Far East Air Force, which can't fight back at all. Of course, at this cost, it may be greater. ”

"But this Hurricane aircraft, at least the model we are equipped with, is still extremely difficult to deal with the Zero War in general. Compared with the P 40 fighter, because the cruising speed is not good, there are even cases where it can't be beaten and can't run. Judging from the situation in which the Japanese army gradually shifted the main force of the army aviation to the Chinese battlefield, once a new fighter with a better fighter appeared than the first type, this kind of aircraft would be more difficult to deal with. ”

"The main thing that the commander and I are looking for you today is to have a conversation with you in advance. We must find ways to prepare ahead of time for a more dangerous situation that will arise in the near future. Look for an alternative to such an aircraft so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes. ”

"We have encountered this year, although it is the same plane as last year, in appearance. But the actual performance, it is already a fairly improved aircraft. It shows that the Japanese army has recognized the weakness of this aircraft and has begun to improve it. Of course, what we encountered last year may also be just a trial production type. ”

"But after all, it was the Japanese army that had already begun to make improvements to meet the actual needs on the battlefield. In particular, we have received information that the Japanese army has captured a batch of P40 fighters in Southeast Asia. One, I think the simulation we did today, the Japanese will do the same.

"Because in our current air battle, this kind of Japanese fighter not only has a certain increase in firepower, but also seems to have been very proficient in the performance of our aircraft. In the second half of the campaign, after this kind of aircraft was put into the battlefield to replace the original Type 97 fighters used by the Japanese army, the losses of our P40 fighters began to rise in a straight line. ”

"Not only the number of losses, but also far more than all previous air battles. Moreover, according to the descriptions of our veteran pilots who participated in the war, the Japanese pilots seemed to have a good understanding of our aircraft. Specialized tactics were developed to find the weak points of the P-40 fighters. ”

This in itself shows that the Japanese army has used the captured P-40 fighters of the same model of the US military to conduct simulated air battles with its new fighters in order to find out the weaknesses of this kind of our main fighter. With the capabilities of the Japanese aviation industry, it is certain that the Type 1 fighter will also be improved in order to achieve greater superiority. ”
