    Yang Zhen already has a premonition that before the Soviet-German war breaks out from this year to next year.  .The battle situation in the entire Northeast will be constant small-scale firefights, but a large-scale attack by the Kwantung Army against the Alliance will not happen for the time being.  The probability of a large-scale attack should not occur until after August next year, when certain results occur on the Soviet-German battlefield.  If the wheels of history are still as they know they are.

    First, it is related to the Japanese military¡¯s own strategic adjustments after changes in the international situation.  The other is that the Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses this time, also needs a long period of rehabilitation to recover.  After all, more than 100,000 veterans were lost in one fell swoop. For the Japanese army that had not yet transferred to a wartime system, this vitality was not easy to recover.

    The reason why Yang Zhen estimates that the Japanese army will launch a large-scale attack after August next year may have a lot to do with the history he knows.  If the progress of the war situation after the German army attacked the Soviet Union is really what I know.  Thinking that the Soviet army was defeated and their foreign aid was cut off, the Japanese army would definitely take advantage of the situation.  Trying to take advantage of his "weakest and most isolated" situation to add insult to injury.  This is also the most common method used by the Japanese army.

    So according to Yang Zhen¡¯s estimation, the next full-scale attack by the Japanese army will most likely be after August next year.  You should have nearly a year to recuperate and prepare to stockpile supplies and ammunition.  However, although the Japanese army will be dormant for a while, in order to weaken its war potential and minimize its ability to continue combat, large-scale air strikes in the base area are inevitable.

    The Japanese army is now constantly deploying more aviation forces into the Northeast, even breaking the practice of the army and navy operating independently.  Two naval aviation groups were concentrated and allocated to the army.  And allocating some aircraft from its own reserve aircraft to the Army so that the Kwantung Army's aviation force can recover as soon as possible is a sign.

    Yang Zhen knows that this year or next year, a new type of fighter jet of the Japanese Navy will enter service.  The outstanding performance of this kind of fighter, especially its excellent high-altitude performance, is definitely one of the best among the fighters currently equipped by various countries.  Once the Japanese Navy puts this new type of aircraft into combat, Yang Zhen is not sure whether his aviation force can fight with it and win.

    ¡°And the current number of aviation fighter jets is too small compared to an army, making it difficult to replenish them.  With one aircraft destroyed and one less aircraft, Yang Zhen did not dare to put all his hopes of establishing an air defense network in the aviation force.  After all, what I know about the outcome of the air battle in the early stages of the Pacific Campaign a year later has shown that the P-39 fighter jets that I am equipped with in large quantities are no match for this new type of fighter jet named Zero.

    Since the aviation force completed its training and joined the war, Yang Zhen has been trying to remember how he swept through the air forces of various countries in the early days of the Pacific War and caused the famous Type Zero disaster.  Before the introduction of new fighter jets by the Japanese Army Air Force, when did the Zero fighter, the most powerful opponent it would most likely encounter in the air, enter the war on a large scale.  But he really couldn't remember the exact time when this kind of fighter entered service.

    But according to the Japanese military aircraft naming standards, it should have completed testing this year and is ready for mass production.  As for the performance of this aircraft, Yang Zhen couldn't even recall it.  Compared with the more famous German Me-109 fighter jets and FW190 fighter jets, Japanese fighter jets like the Zero have not been described much in later generations.

    In fact, Yang Zhen didn¡¯t know much about the aviation equipment of various countries in the world during World War II.  Even for the Soviet Union's MiG-3 fighter jets, he only knew that although this type of aircraft had many faults, it had superior high-altitude combat performance.  It was also the largest number of new fighter jets equipped by the Soviet Army before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War.

    As for other aircraft, he only knows their approximate performance.  When it comes to the true performance of these aircraft, he doesn't know much.  After all, military magazines such as "Aviation Knowledge", "Weapons", and "Ordnance Technology" in the reading rooms of later generations of old troops are not professional aviation books.

    Although there is a certain introduction to the so-called famous machines in various countries around the world during World War II.  Such as the Soviet Union's Yak and Pull fighter jets, and a large number of military aids to the Nationalist Government's I15 and XVI fighter jets.  Il-2 attack aircraft, Tu-2, B-2 bombers, and the old SB-2 bomber.  American P-39, 40, and 51 fighter jets.

    But the performance introduction is not comprehensive, and many of them are introduced through classic battles.  As for the factors that win an air battle, the service time, firepower configuration, general flight performance, and classic combat examples are far from enough.

    As for the B-17, 24, and 29 heavy bombers, and the 25-26 medium bombers, we still know about them through those so-called American war movies.  For the Zero fighter, thisYang Zhen really didn't know much about the performance of fighter jets.  The only thing he knew was that this fighter jet had excellent high-altitude performance, excellent maneuverability and hovering combat capabilities.

    The biggest weakness is the fragile body, which cannot withstand the impact of violent dives.  And it is impossible to carry out large-G flight.  Because once this happens, this kind of aircraft body is fragile. In order to achieve high maneuverability and high speed, the weight of the aircraft body must be saved as much as possible. An aircraft that does not even have a self-sealing fuel tank will directly disintegrate.

    But the combat performance of this kind of fighter is the strongest among the fighters currently equipped by all countries in the world.  The fighter jets currently equipped by countries around the world, whether it is the British Hurricane and Spitfire, the American P-40 fighter, and the Soviet Yak-1 and Lager-3 fighter jets.  Not even Germany's Me 109 fighter jet, there is no fighter that can surpass this latest Japanese fighter jet in a level combat situation.

    ¡°The central government also informed Yang Zhen of the call three days ago.  During the Japanese bombing of Chongqing on September 13, the Japanese army dispatched a new type of fighter jet to escort the bombers for the first time.  This new type of fighter, which has never been seen before and is very different from the previous Type 96 fighter, the main force of the Japanese Navy, has a huge range and extremely strong maneuverability, which dealt a devastating blow to the Chinese Air Force.

    During the air battle, the Chinese Air Force dispatched 25 I-Fifteen fighter jets provided by the Soviet army and nine of the best I-Sixteen fighter jets in the hands of the Nationalist Government.  Facing only thirteen Zero fighters, two fighter jets that were almost an era behind them, they paid a bloody price.

    Just like in the first air battle of Yang Zhen¡¯s aviation unit, although the P-39 fighter was a product with poor performance, there was a whole generation gap in dealing with the Type 97 fighter equipped by the Japanese Route Army aviation.  During the air battle, the P-39 fighter jets bloodbathed the Kwantung Army's Type 97 fighter jets.

    But this situation took a 180-degree turn during the air battle at Bishan, Chongqing on September 13th.  In this almost one-sided air battle, the two Soviet-made fighter jets, whose performance was far inferior to that of the Zero fighter, were almost powerless to fight back.  Twenty-five to zero became a great shame for the Nationalist Government Air Force.

    The I-15 and I-16 fighter jets are a whole generation behind the Zero.  It's normal that he is no match for the Zero Fighter.  But after the P-39 fighter with good performance was stripped by the US Army itself and all the turbochargers were removed, its performance was no match for the Japanese Zero fighter. Yang Zhen already knew this.  .

    The Americans refused to provide the P-40 fighter that could barely compete with the Zero.  Before the MiG-3 fighter jets specially designed for high altitude and high speed were put into the battlefield, at least in the high altitude field, Yang Zhen knew that he had no way to deal with this excellent fighter.

    And although the Soviet Union has promised to deliver all MiG-3 fighter jets to the Anti-Japanese Alliance before June next year.  But delivery and formation of combat effectiveness are two different things.  It takes at least half a year of training for an aircraft from delivery to completion of training and deployment on the battlefield.

    Although the Soviet Union has agreed to use the MiG-1 fighter jets that the Soviet Army has completed test flights and has just begun mass production within a month to train some pilots for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  The conversion training of all Anti-Union pilots will be conducted at the same time as that of Soviet pilots.

    The MiG-3 fighter jets currently undergoing test flights are themselves improved from the MiG-1 fighter jets.  Using MiG-1 fighter jets to train pilots can help these MiG-3 fighter jets form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.  Moreover, the Soviet Union also promised that as long as the MiG-3 fighter jets complete their test flights, they will be delivered to the Anti-Japanese Alliance first.

    But even if the Soviet Union does not hesitate to delay the equipment of its own troops in order to complete the contract, these fighter jets will not be able to form combat effectiveness before the end of next year.  After all, this kind of fighter will not complete test flights until next year, and the time to start mass production is still there.

    Before the MiG-3 fighter jets were fully deployed on the battlefield, they basically had no means of defense at high altitudes.  This is also the main reason why Yang Zhen is eager to put into production a 57mm anti-aircraft gun with excellent performance, a maximum range of up to 12,000 meters, a five-round magazine for ammunition, and an extremely fast rate of fire.  A large part of it was due to concerns about the Zero fighter.

    "If the Japanese Navy's Zero fighter jets did not appear on the battlefield, Yang Zhen would not be so impatient just because the P-39 fighter jets are far ahead of the performance of the Type 97 fighter jets currently equipped by the Japanese army.  After all, without worrying about the threat of Japanese fighter jets, the fighter jets can allocate a considerable part of their energy to deal with Japanese bombers.

    Although the MiG-3 is not necessarily an opponent of the Zero fighter, this type of fighter, which is specially developed for high-altitude air combat, may not be completely helpless when facing the Zero fighter.  After all, the high-altitude performance of the MiG-3 fighter jet is quite good.

    The reason why Yang Zhen agreedChoosing the MiG-3 fighter jet, except that the Soviet Union refused to provide the Yak-1 with better performance, and it had no other procurement channels.  Dealing with this Zero fighter with excellent high-altitude performance at high altitude is also one of his important considerations.

    But Yang Zhen is too stupid to pin his hopes on this kind of fighter, knowing that it will not be able to enter the battlefield for at least a year.  In the absence of other outsourcing channels or funds, Yang Zhen could only find ways to increase the density of ground air defense firepower and improve the performance of anti-aircraft guns to deal with this Zero threat.
