Glorious Mission 1937

In fact, it is not surprising that the Australian government thinks this way. At this time, the second Wuhan battle is indeed very unfavorable to the national government. Originally, the Japanese army in the first Wuhan battle was about to achieve its strategic goal. With a chance to breathe, even if the Japanese army retreated at the last moment, the entire battlefield situation was still firmly controlled by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army attached great importance to this battle, not only mobilized many arms of the army, navy and air force, but also the Japanese army was unprecedented in terms of strength this time.In addition, the Japanese army dispatched a new type of fighter jet in this battle. Although there are not many such fighter jets, their performance far exceeds all the fighter jets currently equipped by the Nationalist Government Air Force and the Northern Air Force.

8月10日，日军首次在空袭武汉的战斗中出动了30架这样的战机，此战日军航空兵面对两倍于己的中国空军的拦截沉着应战，结果却创造了44:0的辉煌战果。国民政府空军驱逐机第四大队被击落11架霍克3战斗机,9名飞行员血染长空。北方空军被击落33架战机，其中19名飞行员牺牲，14名飞行员重伤。

In addition, the subsequent Japanese bombers dropped a large number of bombs in the urban area of ​​Wuhan. This battle resulted in the casualties of a large number of innocent citizens in Wuhan.

On the army side, the national government was also suppressed by the Japanese army. Under the three-dimensional attack of the Japanese army, navy and air force, the defense line built by the millions of people of the national government was like paper. In less than half a month, the first line of defense was already crumbling. This horrified Chen Cheng and the others.

This is just the beginning.When the follow-up troops of the Japanese army arrive on the battlefield one after another, the situation of the national government will definitely be more difficult. Therefore, the international community is generally not optimistic about the national government.

The news of the air force's unprecedented defeat in Wuhan made Chen Feng extremely disturbed. According to the news from the front, he had reason to believe that the Japanese army had already produced the Zero fighter ahead of schedule.It seems that my own appearance not only changed the course of the war and made the war situation develop in a direction favorable to China, but also changed some things about the Japanese army.

The Zero fighter once made the Japanese Air Force the most powerful air force in Asia.The aircraft that also made the air forces of China and the United States grit their teeth with hatred was originally designed in 1937. It was first flown by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on April 1939, 4.It will take more than a year to actually mass-produce this fighter and equip it to the Japanese invaders.

另外零式战斗机的首战也不是发生在这一年，而是发生在1940年9月13日，13架零式在重庆以东空域和27架中国空军的i-15、i-16混和机群遭遇。中国空军27架飞机被全部击落击伤，零式则无一损失。这是抗战以来中国空军最惨重的一次损失！在随后的几个月里。一共有99架中国飞机被零式击落击毁。而零式仅有两架在地面事故里被焚毁。

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army applied this new type of fighter into actual combat one year in advance.This change made Chen Feng extremely uneasy.He knew very well how excellent this Japanese fighter plane was, which left a great reputation in World War II. The Japanese base camp had very high expectations for this fighter plane, and not only made substantial changes to the appearance of the fighter plane.At the same time, a huge breakthrough has been made in the internal structure. For the first time, it adopts fully enclosed retractable landing gear, electric heating flight suit, cannon, constant speed propeller, super duralumin load-bearing structure, large-view cockpit and large disposable auxiliary fuel tank, etc. equipment.

And the Zero fighter also uses a 950-horsepower Sakae Nakajima 12-star air-cooled engine, with a speed of 533 kilometers per hour, can fight at an altitude of 3000 meters, and has a record-setting range of [-] kilometers, which is faster than ordinary bombers and fighter jets. The range of the transport aircraft is even stronger.

Once this kind of fighter jet that far exceeds the performance of fighter jets of the same period appears on the battlefield, it will be a disaster for the Chinese Air Force.Not only is the Chinese Air Force not an opponent, even the U.S. Air Force or the Soviet Air Force cannot defeat the Japanese Air Force equipped with Zero fighters.In fact, it was the Japanese Zero fighter that attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States. At that time, 81 Zero fighters participated in the battle. Although there were only 81 fighters, they completely controlled the air supremacy over Oahu Island and suppressed any U.S. aircraft that forcibly took off. Pearl Harbor Later in the incident, the Japanese land-based air force stationed in Taiwan also launched a large-scale air strike on the US Clark and other air bases in the Philippines.The Type Zero fighter uses the low-speed fuel-efficient flight method of multiple trainings to provide long-range escort for the Type I land attack.Faced with such a powerful Japanese fighter jet, the U.S. military couldn't help being shocked!In just a few months after the start of the war, the Japanese army wiped out 70% of the Allied fighter force in the Pacific region. I can't come back.

After receiving the battle report from Liu Nijia, Chen Feng's first thought was to withdraw all the Northern Air Force, but he just thought about it. If the Northern Air Force were really withdrawn to the Nationalist Government, it would really be over. It was occupied by the Japanese in a short period of time.At that time, Chen Feng will definitely be spurned by thousands of people, and besides, he himself will feel uneasy.

Not only could the Northern Air Force not withdraw, but it had to increase its troops. Otherwise, Liu Nijia and his existing fighters would not be able to deal with the Japanese Type Zero team at all.Although he didn't know how many Zero fighters the Japanese army produced at this time, 30 fighters were sent to fight in the first battle, and the total number should not be less than 50.

For this reason, Chen Feng immediately ordered Victor's air defense division 1st and 1nd regiments to assemble immediately, and head to Wuhan with all the weapons and equipment and enough ammunition for half a month's battle.At the same time, Chen Feng dispatched a fighter regiment and a transport regiment from the Northern Air Force, a total of 400 fighters to Wuhan. So far, the number of fighters sent to Wuhan by the Eighth War Zone has reached 962, and there are less than 400 fighters left in the north. .

Chen Feng's act of sending charcoal in the snow moved Lao Jiang very much. In addition, after the Eighth Theater annihilated the 12th Division of the Japanese Army some time ago, the Nationalist Government did not have any actual expression.So soon a commendation telegram signed by Lao Jiang himself was sent to Saibei, and Chen Feng was promoted to the second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army. Chen Feng was the vice president of the Kuomintang and the vice chairman of the Military Commission, becoming the number two figure in the National Government after Chiang Kai-shek.

But before thinking that this seat belonged to the traitor Wang Zhaomin, Chen Feng dismissed the idea after thinking about it, that seat is not easy to sit in, and whoever has the ability to let someone sit there, he will not join in the fun!

It's not enough to do this.Chen Feng knew that this could only temporarily curb the Japanese Air Force's advantage.When their Zero fighters are mass-produced and equipped with troops, no matter how many fighters go, they will die.Although the Japanese army now has some Type Zero fighters, the main force is still Type 5, Type 6 and Type [-] warships.Therefore, he wants to take this opportunity to quickly produce new fighter jets, and he wants to make the J-[-] and J-[-] available as soon as possible.Then blow up Little Japan.

随后的十几天陈锋一头钻进了包头的一处秘密基地里了。那个秘密基地是不久前新建的。主要目的就是为了生产歼5、歼6以及武直9.陈锋在哪里折腾了足足十多天，当第一架歼5、歼6以及第一架武直9下线后他才返回归绥，而此时已经到了1939年的8月26日了。距离德国闪击波兰的日期已经不足一个星期了。

Originally, Chen Feng thought that the Soviet Union and Germany would sign the non-aggression pact two months in advance, and that Hitler would launch World War II in advance, but he didn't expect that mustache to be quite tolerant, so he didn't do anything.But Chen Feng also knew that Hitler couldn't help but take action in the end, because the amount of penicillin purchased by Germany suddenly increased by more than ten times during this period.Although the number of penicillin drugs purchased in Germany has increased month by month for more than a year, from 1500 million US dollars per month at the beginning to 1 million US dollars two months ago, a full 25 billion has been charged in these two months. The goods in US dollars made Chen Feng smell something unusual.

The German tanks have already started warming up. In another week, Germany's blitzkrieg will shock the world, and the prelude to the war will begin soon.

At this time, Chen Feng couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in. He didn't feel hatred for Germany Chen Feng, but was slightly grateful.In fact, when the United States and Britain connived and even supported Japan's invasion of China, Germany had been helping China before the Soviet Union extended a helping hand to China.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler won the German election and became Chancellor of Germany.In the field of Sino-German military cooperation, Adolf Hitler saw that Chiang Kai-shek’s government expelled Soviet advisers, turned against the Soviet Union, launched the April [-] Incident, and encircled and suppressed the Red Army led by the Communist Party. China's abundant natural resources (especially strategic resources such as tungsten and antimony) and the vast market for industrial products are also important convenient conditions for Germany's revival, and as a neighboring country of the Soviet Union, it can be used as an effective containment force and a joint anti-Soviet In addition, after he came to power, he abolished the various restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, so the level and scale of German military advisers to China gradually increased, and the original private nature of concealment gradually turned into public official assistance.

Under the joint promotion of the Chinese and German military Hitler and Chiang Kai-shek, not only the two sides signed the "Five-Year Military Industry Development Plan", Germany began to help China establish a military industry, and provided China with military equipment before the Chinese military industry was completed. Military equipment, and the fourth general adviser to the German military and the former commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht, General Hans von Seeckt, submitted the "Army Reform Proposal" in assisting China's army reorganization and military construction, and proposed a limited Material and financial resources, first establish a well-equipped and well-trained small-scale core demonstration armed force, and then complete the reorganization of 60 divisions across the country in batches and stages. He believes that China has such an elite standing army of 60 divisions that is enough to cope with various situations. It is the source of the 30 reorganization division plans in the 60s.

It is a great pity that German armorers were originally used to train officers, who were then used to train entire armies.But in the Battle of Songhu and the subsequent Battle of Nanjing, the elite troops trained by these Germans were almost lost.Therefore, during the long Anti-Japanese War, it failed to play its original role in promoting the improvement of the quality of the entire army.

More importantly, General Falkenhausen became the fifth head of the Advisory Group after General Seekert returned to China after his illness. Develop the defense industry.At the same time, in response to the Japanese army's increasingly aggressive invasion of China, he compiled the "Proposal on Countermeasures to Deal with the Current Situation", which accurately predicted and guided the all-out war of resistance in the near future.

After the July [-]th Incident, the full-scale war of resistance broke out, and Japan continued to exert pressure on Germany, demanding the termination of Sino-German military cooperation. Under pressure, Germany announced the end of the work of the advisory group, but at the same time stated that the original advisory group members were in China in their private capacities. The German government did not interfere with the activities they were engaged in. Therefore, Falkenhausen and his colleagues collectively took off their German military uniforms, put on plain clothes and continued to work as consultants. However, the arms sales to China were still going on, which became the Chinese government’s acquisition of foreign weapons at that time. The only source of equipment.

Among so many countries in the world, perhaps only Germans want China to become stronger the most, and they are also one of the countries that help China the most.For such a country, Chen Feng really couldn't bring up the slightest hatred.But Chen Feng also knew that with the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Axis, the relationship between them must be hostile, maybe this is called good luck tricking people!
