Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

(Thanks to book friend Tian Cangye, 18377707194 for the reward^_^)

Although it was not his field of expertise, as a military history enthusiast, Hu Weidong recognized the model of the captured aircraft when he saw it. Naturally, he also knew that although the Type 95 fighter jet was still considered world-class in 1936,

, but the inherent shortcomings in speed of the biplane made it completely outdated in just two years. However, for the Red Army, which currently relies entirely on captured aircraft, there is no capital to despise it. Therefore, how to fully utilize its strengths and avoid weaknesses to maximize its value?

, becomes crucial...

Due to the existence of the support structure, the flight resistance of biplanes is greatly increased, so they cannot be compared with monoplanes in terms of speed and acceleration. However, they also have their own advantages, that is, unparalleled maneuverability (to be precise,

It is maneuverability in low-speed flight.). As the last biplane fighter developed by Japan, a country that attaches most importance to fighter maneuverability in the world, the Type 95 fighter can even be said to be the most maneuverable fighter in the history of the world, even if

It is also incomparable to the later arrogant Zero aircraft. Therefore, as long as both sides use conventional tactics, the Type 95 fighter can completely defeat more advanced fighters, but the enemy is not a fool and relies on its speed advantage to use one-shot escape tactics.

This is the kingly way. In this way, the maneuverability advantage of the Type 95 fighter jet will not be able to be used at all.

Hu Weidong came up with a solution to this problem, which was to design an aerial cannon for the Type 95 fighter jet with an effective range much farther than the 7.7mm machine gun currently used by Japanese fighter jets. The enemy would have to take a hit from the Type 95 fighter jet before it could escape with one blow.

If you are bombarded suddenly, you won't be able to take advantage at all. This is the same as the Southern Song Dynasty when the heavy infantry were equipped with divine arm bows with extremely long range to fight against the Jin Army's cavalry and archery...

However, no matter how accomplished Hu Weidong is in artillery and ammunition, he cannot produce finished products immediately. The time for development, trial production and inspection is added up, and it will take several months to wait for official production no matter how soon. This is obviously not emergency.

Fortunately, Hu Weidong soon discovered another huge advantage of the Type 95 fighter, which is the ultra-high practical ceiling and climb speed due to the greater lift of the wings. The former has reached an astonishing 11,500 meters.

Historically, it was not until the end of World War II that the American Mustang fighter jets were equipped with British Merlin engines. However, the Japanese monoplanes could reach the sky at 10,000 meters. This height difference of 1,500 meters was enough to make the Japanese attack from above.

The monoplane cannot hit it, and even if it hits it, it cannot hurt itself and remain invincible. The excellent climbing ability of the Type 95 fighter makes this tactic of seizing the high point more feasible.

Since we have this advantage, we must make good use of it. After discussions among several outstanding pilots such as Hu Weidong and Gao Zhihang, a special tactic with the typical characteristics of "dive attack" and "pull up and break away" was born. When Jiu

When the Type-5 fighter jets encounter an enemy aircraft, they must first take advantage of their climbing ability to quickly pull up to seize a high position. When they are more than a thousand meters above the enemy aircraft, the Type-95 fighter jet formation will immediately dive downward at full speed to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

, regardless of whether the dive attack is successful or not, as long as the enemy aircraft starts to pull up, all crew members will immediately stop the attack and pull up again, thereby taking advantage of the practical ceiling and climbing speed so that the enemy plane can only be beaten but unable to fight back, and if our own side is because of

If you don’t want to fight for reasons such as running out of ammunition, you can also climb to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters and leave in a swagger. The enemy has no way...

This tactic was originally designed by Hu Weidong for the Red Army fighter jets after the Anti-Japanese War broke out. If it encounters the Japanese Army Aviation Force, which is also equipped with a large number of Type 95 biplane fighters, it will make no sense. However, the Japanese Navy has unique conditions.

Biplanes were completely eliminated earlier than the Army, but it gave Gao Zhihang and others the opportunity to verify new tactics in advance...

It stands to reason that due to the slow speed, if the enemy plane does not want to fight and turns around and flees, the Type 95 fighter jet will not be able to catch up. But that is for the advanced monoplane fighters in the middle and late stages of World War II, and Gao Zhihang and the others are now facing the enemy.

The speed of the Japanese Navy's Type 96 carrier-based fighter is only 10% faster than that of the Type 95 fighter. This gap can be completely made up by the acceleration of dive. So the six Japanese aircraft were in misery, and they could not hit them.

They were pursued but could not catch up, could not escape, and coupled with their absolute disadvantage in numbers, they were all shot down by the Red Army fighter brigade in a short time. Gao Zhihang, who was bent on avenging Shen Chong's teachings and others, became red-eyed and killed the two

The Japanese pilots who parachuted to escape were also punished, and for this they were punished once after returning...

And because Gao Zhihang deliberately led the Japanese fighter jets to high altitudes, beyond the effective range of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns, the Japanese on each ship could only watch their own planes being shot down one by one, while the Chinese planes continued to shoot down.

We returned safely without any damage, not to mention how depressed I was...

The first true air-sea battle in world history came to an end. Due to the success of camouflage tactics and the sacrifice of twenty-four bomber crews, the Red Army bomber squadron was defeated by the tyrant at the cost of twelve bombers.

The Imperial Japanese Navy dealt a heavy blow. A total of two light aircraft carriers, one destroyer and eight giant troop carriers were sunk, with a total displacement of more than 200,000 tons. Another two troop carriers were severely damaged, and a heavy cruiser was injured.

, the navy suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, of which 2,157 were killed in action. The army officers and soldiers on the troop carriers were even more miserable. Since the army had relatively few people with water skills, and the navy must first save its own people on the two sunken aircraft carriers

, as a result, a large number of army officers and soldiers were drowned alive due to untimely rescue, with a total of more than 20,000 casualties, including more than 15,000 deaths, including the current division commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Lin Gui, who was also buried in the sea. It can be said that

This elite Japanese permanent division had been seriously injured before it even reached its destination...

In addition to direct losses, due to various problems exposed in this battle, the contradiction between the Japanese Navy and Army further intensified to the point of incompatibility. This may have a greater negative impact on Japan. The contradiction between the two major factions is so

It was so big that the Japanese Army Ministry, which no longer trusted the navy, would rather try to persuade the emperor to agree to the army sending troops to detour through North Korea and enter the three northeastern provinces and then enter the customs to fight, instead of asking the navy to help transport troops and escort, and the navy naturally wanted it, although

They also hate Hu Weidong, the famous Red Army general...
