Chapter 461 Bombing
Then, the Chinese team naturally would not give up this opportunity to pursue victory. The fighter planes and warships launched bombings on the Japanese airports together, and even the b29 bombers located in Iwo Jima and Mariana Islands also participated... Of course, the US side would not object to this. After all, the Japanese fighter jets stationed in Taiwan also had a great impact on the US military's war in the Philippines. The US military had long wanted to start a war on them, but the war in the Philippines was at a critical point. The US military could not send any extra troops for the time being. Now that there are Chinese fleets and b29 bombers to do it, why don't they do it?
In fact, the place TW is not lower than that of Okinawa for Japan. The reason is that TW happens to be between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Once TW is lost, the Japanese army will have no transportation channel at all.
The problem is that TW has an area of 36,000 square kilometers, and there is more than 5 million people on the island, of which one million are Japanese. In addition, TW has been forced to brainwash under the rule of the Japanese for a long time, so a considerable number of TW people are willing to fight for the Japanese. It can be imagined that attacking TW will cost a heavy price and take a long time.
In comparison, the offensive cost of Okinawa's population of more than 12 million square kilometers is of course much smaller than a population of hundreds of thousands.
This is also the reason why the United States chose to attack Okinawa rather than TW in history.
For islands with such a large area of TW, the Chinese fleet has more than 100 fighter jets, bombing the long wind and text machines are naturally inferior, but if B29 participates in the war, it will be different...
Since taking over the Mariana Islands, the US military has been preparing to bomb Japan's mainland, which is actually the strategic goal of the US military to seize the Mariana Islands.
Therefore, what the US military did on the Mariana Islands and even various large and small islands, including Iwo Jima, was to expand the airport desperately, and then stuff B9 bombs and various aviation bombs into the airport... This is because the US military had invented solidification at this time, and this thing was proven to be the most cost-effective bomb in indiscriminate bombs in actual combat. Ordinary bombs were nothing more than filling the bombs with gunpowder. After being dropped on the ground, it was nothing more than blowing a large pit on the ground. A solidification thing could explode one piece, especially in places with dense buildings. The explosion would cause the building facilities to ignite an irreducible fire and thus cause serious fires.
Therefore, most of the bombs prepared by the US military for b29 are solidified.
By the time Zhang Chi attacked TW, the US military had prepared more than 200 B29 and tens of thousands of solidified in the Mariana Islands and Iwo Jima.
(Note: When the United States launched a large-scale bombing on Japan in history, it had prepared more than 300 b29s, and once dispatched 334 aircraft to drop more than 2,000 tons of solidification.)
In fact, the US military was already capable of launching a large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland at this time, but Roosevelt was unwilling to do so because he was worried that he would lead more Japanese troops from China to the Japanese mainland.
So, these solidification that should have been cast into Japan were cast into tw... For a moment, the Japanese airports, ports, oil depots, power stations, ammunition depots, bridges, etc. all ignited raging fires.
This is what Zhang Chi said to defeat the Japanese fighter jets in Taiwan.
Although oil depots, power stations, ports and other things seem to have nothing to do with Japanese fighter jets, in fact, if you consider them deeply, they are all related.
For example, fighter jets need oil and parts, and these oil and parts need to be transported through ports or bridges, and require electrical repairs, etc.
Therefore, after such a bombing, coupled with the previous Japanese air force being severely injured in the previous air battle, it is unlikely that the Japanese army stationed in Taiwan will organize a large-scale and organized aircraft fleet in a short period of time, so it is difficult for them to pose a threat to the logistics supply line of the China ** team.
Another impact of this battle was that the Japanese completely abandoned any plan to use fighter jets to fight the Sino-US coalition forces.
After understanding the process of this battle, Toyota Junta criticized Fururu Han's command mistakes on the one hand, and said on the other hand: "Our army aircraft and fierce American aircraft were hit by one after another, just like hitting a stone with an egg, and it would be one-sided in a moment. If this continues, Japan will immediately collapse. It seems that there is no other way to use an aircraft to crash into the aircraft carrier in order to cure the root cause."
Therefore, before this, Japanese military fighter jets carried out suicide attacks in small batches, and after that, they were converted to full use.
What’s ridiculous is that in order to boost the emotions of the Chinese people, the Japanese army began to falsely report the results of the war.
Toyota Junwu turned around and reported to the base camp: "Sink 13 enemy aircraft carriers, sink, and injure dozens of other ships."
When this "result" reached Japan, there was a jubilation in Japan immediately. The emperor issued a special order to encourage him. Hideki Tojo even publicly delivered a speech: "TW air battle, the imperial army turns the world, and victory is in sight!" Celebration meetings were held in Tokyo and Japan, and the whole country was immersed in the illusory victory.
This is a bit similar to China's late Qing Dynasty... At that time, when foreign enemies were advancing towards Beijing step by step, the ministers also celebrated the good news and bad news without worries.
The Chinese fleet stayed in the TW waters for a week, and on the sixth and seventh days, there were basically no air targets.
This means that the Chinese fleet no longer stayed in the sea, so it returned to Iwo Jima that night to rest.
When Zhang Chi returned to the Iwo Jima Command, the information collected from China finally came to Zhang Chi after several twists and turns.
The reason why it is said to be "five twists and turns" is that most of these intelligences are obtained from guerrillas that insist on dealing with the Japanese army in the Northeast, and the guerrillas do not have a channel to contact the US military overseas, so they have to upload them layer by layer, then transfer them to the US military, and then transfer them to Zhang Chi through intelligence agencies.
The situation was as Zhang Chi expected, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was originally stationed in the northeast, had basically been air-conditioned... In fact, not only the Northeast Kwantung Army, but also the North China Expeditionary Army (the Japanese army called the North China Front Army the North China Expeditionary Army).
According to the information, the reason was that the Japanese army gritted their teeth and attacked fiercely in the direction of ** when they were short of troops. They hoped to open up China from north to south and join forces with the Japanese army occupying Vietnam, so they transferred a large number of troops to the direction of the battle between Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. In the northeast and North China, only a few divisions of Japanese and puppet troops were stationed.
