Contrary to many people's stereotypes, in fact, the Army's recruitment requirements are not strict. As early as the first half of 1934, they launched a system of recruiting aviation industry talents in line with the established Western powers.

Thanks to this relatively liberal policy, the IJA had no shortage of pilots throughout World War II.

Even in the Battle of Nomenhan, when the Kwantung Army Army Aviation and the VVS lost most of Manchuria with bayonets, the Japanese were able to regroup in the shortest possible time.

Of course, if there are insufficient resources and we have to recruit troops extensively, we will inevitably pay a certain price.

The "kamikaze agents" who inexplicably break away from their formation on the battlefield are one of the problems exposed under this system.

"Baga, pull up the nose of the plane quickly. What are you idiots doing! Stare at the instrument panel and fly based on the instrument's indication parameters. Don't blindly trust your own eyes and perception."

"Hurry up and think about the remedial plan I described in the manipulation class. Come back quickly!"

"Pull up!"

Seeing the student and subordinate piloting a fighter plane dive straight towards the ground at a large angle of 45 degrees, the Japanese Army Aviation Squadron Leader who was supporting the troops suddenly panicked.

The old devil quickly picked up the communicator and roared loudly in the entire combat channel. He constantly emphasized technical essentials and tried to save the lives of students through on-site guidance.

It's a pity that the accident happened quickly and suddenly.

The series of contingency plans he made before departure had no room for use.

"Boom! Boom!"

With a series of violent explosions and bright flames that filled half of the night, the Type 97 fighter jets that had been operated incorrectly turned into fragments all over the sky, scattered on the Jinpu Railway like broadsword mines.

Several Japanese pilots who were not very good at their studies even went to see Tian Locust on the spot.

This mysterious operation once stunned the comrades of the Second Air Division. In ancient times, Zhang Fei destroyed the Dangyang Bridge. Is it possible that they could also scare the Japanese to death with the majestic appearance of the Storm fighter?

After a brief period of confusion, Fang Ziyi, who had more combat experience, finally saw through everything. He decisively picked up the communicator and ordered to the confused soldiers:

"Space disorientation, the pilot of the Japanese fighter jet encountered space disorientation! Some pilots can make major mistakes, and even fail to take any remedial measures before dying. There must be a lot of novices in the enemy's support squadron."

"Kill him while he's sick!"

"Everyone, come with me, go and crush the weak persimmons! Try to completely break up the army aviation's battle formation in the first wave of attacks."

"receive!"

Spatial disorientation, to put it bluntly, is the confusion that pilots experience when flying through clouds or at night.

This kind of loss of direction, and even difficulty in judging one's own pitch angle is not uncommon, even in air combat games and simulators, it happens from time to time.

Human perception is so unreliable sometimes.

There are many reasons for the above-mentioned air crash, but the main culprit is the mental exhaustion caused by continuous combat.

In order to cope with the nearly endless terrifying air attacks of the Second Air Division, the pilots of the Japanese Air Force are on standby almost 24 hours a day, and they will take off as soon as possible if there is any trouble.

After struggling for ten days, their physical strength and energy reached their limits.

Accidents occur frequently when driving while fatigued, let alone when driving a fighter jet.

In addition to mental fatigue, obstructed vision is also one of the causes. The Japs crashed before dawn, when there were no stable reference targets in the airspace or on the ground.

In a dark and unfamiliar environment, he was a rookie pilot and was driving fatigued. There is a saying, with so many layers of negative states stacked together, it will be difficult for a person with a hard life not to die.

"Climb, keep climbing, we're not high enough now."

"We do not have a numerical advantage, so we are not in a hurry to test the mid- and low-altitude combat performance of the Storm. Our first priority is to kill the enemy's effective forces."

After giving the order to attack, Fang Ziyi and his wingmen took the lead and attacked decisively.

Both of them are elite, and their ability to grasp the opportunity of fighting is even more outstanding. They took advantage of the time when the Japanese were in chaos, converting the speed advantage of their fighter jets into a height advantage, and then converting potential energy into kinetic energy.

Life and death are in an instant.

Even though some of the Japs managed to dodge in time under the reminder of their respective squadron leaders, two Type 97 fighter jets that did not react quickly enough were shot into sparks by the volley.

After the dive attack, the two Storm fighter jets immediately left the battlefield at full speed, then climbed back up to prepare for the next raid.

"Fangan! As long as I shoot down one more enemy plane, I can officially become an ace pilot!"

"Quick, quick, let's continue the attack quickly. This is the first time I've seen such a soft persimmon who can't fight back since I joined the army."

Hearing the excited cheers of the wingman pilot, Fang Ziyi couldn't help but smile. In fact, his current mentality is very similar to those **** players of later generations who are addicted to horse riding and slashing.

In this mission, the comrades who bombed the Japanese 23rd Division with him were like senior soldiers at the top of the list of cavalry and slashing troops.

They have grown step by step from "peasants" holding "pitchforks" to fearless pioneers wearing scales, swords and shields, paving the way. They have participated in and witnessed the rise of Master Kong Er from being unknown to being the best in Asia.

The loss of one of such elites would make Fang Ziyi extremely distressed. That's why every time he performs a mission, he will repeatedly remind everyone to pay attention to safety, and not to underestimate the enemy even if they abuse food.

"Okay, anyway, we still have enough ammunition. I will accompany you to attack again. But you have to remember that a lion uses all his strength to fight a rabbit, so you must not underestimate the enemy."

"This time you will be the main attacker and I will be the wingman."

"Okay!"

At noon that day, Spring City.

During the days when the 3rd Flying Division was covering the ground troops moving south, the Kwantung Army's top military aviation officials were not idle either.

At this time, in the combat conference room of the Second Air Force, the commander, Lieutenant General Suzuki, led a group of senior officers to gather in front of a specially made map dedicated to air combat.

"Gentlemen, why are you silent? Could it be that you have all become mute?"

"In the Battle of Nomenhan, even though most of the Second Flying Group was broken into pieces, they were never afraid of the enemy. Why did everyone show cowardice before the war when facing the Eighth Route Army Air Force, which was established less than two years ago?"

"Come on, cheer up. The soldiers on the front line need air support, and Commander-in-Chief Umezu has asked us many times when we will attack. Time waits for no one, so everyone has to brainstorm."

After experiencing the defeat of two large-scale air battles at Zhongtiao Mountain and Xinkou, the current army aviation has already put away its contempt.

Although the old devils were very reluctant, they had to admit that the Eighth Route Army Air Force was really some supermodels, and it became stronger faster than their army.

To deal with an enemy of this level, the North China Front's Third Flying Division and their Second Air Force alone are definitely not enough.

And it can only be outwitted, not attacked by force.

Facts have proved that the method of provoking generals always has a miraculous effect on Japanese officers. When Suzuki Ledao reprimanded his subordinates in a sinister tone, the commanders of the two flying groups immediately became anxious.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, your words are too much! We are not afraid of the Eighth Route Army Air Force!"

"The reason why everyone is silent is because they are thinking about the most appropriate response plan. If there is no need to consider losses, casualties and threats from the north, the Second Air Force can completely attack."

"But no matter what, we simply can't mobilize all our troops."

In early June this year, the Kwantung Army conducted an unprecedented enhancement and integration of its aviation forces.

The current Second Air Force has two flight groups, the 2nd and 5th, equipped with a total of 1,025 combat aircraft of various types.

If Umezu Yoshijiro and Suzuki lead the two old Japanese, they can really make up their minds and attack with the whole army in one go.

Those 400 fighter jets plus 410 light and heavy bombers can indeed pose a certain degree of threat to the Eighth Route Army Air Force and the Shandong Military Region.

But the problem is that they don't have such great power at all. The strength of 20 flying squadrons is the limit of the two of them.

After thinking hard for a while, it was finally Kumaichi Teramoto, the group leader of the 2nd Flight Group, who broke the silence in the conference room. The lieutenant general cleared his throat and said with a slightly helpless tone:

"Okay, the main force of the Army Aviation this time is our flight group, so I will decide the final plan."

"I think the best strategy is to use the 3rd Flying Division as bait and let those quick recruits disperse the enemy's limited air force in Shandong Province."

"The rookies can't beat them, so they can run away. Even if there are more than 200 flying pigs, the Eighth Route Army won't be able to catch them all in one day."

"If it doesn't work, then add a few more empty trains. Although these things are valuable, our Kwantung Army still has a lot of inventory. For the sake of victory, all the above are inevitable sacrifices."

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese officers in the combat conference room immediately fell into deep thought. After they thought about it carefully, Dunjue Temple's plan was feasible.

There is no way, if we want to talk about the quality of individual aircraft and the overall quantity, the Second Flying Group is at a disadvantage.

Only by forming a situation in which more troops fight fewer troops on local battlefields can the Kwantung Army Army and Aviation have a chance to achieve tactical victory.

Besides, my home base must have similar thoughts. Otherwise, when replenishing the 3rd Flying Division, the local government would not deliberately omit available talents, and instead select a large number of liberal arts students to fill the gap.

"Okay, then I will send someone to report the plan now. If everything goes well, your 2nd Flight Group can attack tomorrow."

"Don't let those rookies die in vain. You must have a record of no less than 1:1, otherwise I won't be able to stop Okamura Neji's mouth."

"Okay, leave it to me."

At the same time, Liugong Island.

Compared with more than a month ago, except for the addition of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, the island at this time has basically not changed much.

Even the group of ugly people who were supposed to go to the mountain city at the beginning of this month chose to stay and fight because the Japanese were about to attack.

If we insist on saying that there have been any changes in the North Sea Fleet, it is probably only the light cruiser Lamot Pickett, which is parked in the dock for modification. (End of chapter)
