    In Onishi Takijiro's view, if these elites can be mobilized to participate in the war, he will be more confident in the final plan for the next step, although he also knows that those people will be the main force used by the navy to fight against the Philippines and the entire Southeast Asia in the future.  There are not many possibilities to transfer him.

    But in his opinion, if he didn't reach out at this time, he always felt a little sorry for himself. For Onishi Takijiro, he wouldn't mind being a lion. Since the navy pushed him into this hot potato position, he came again.  He made a move to withdraw the bridge halfway, and transferred half of the troops promised to him. So he should give himself some compensation. He didn't expect carrier-based fighter jets, but he should give some to those ace pilots.

    This time, he was transferred from the position of chief of staff of the Navy's 11th Air Fleet, which had been designated to fight southward, to the temporary organization of the Fifth Flying Group, which was formed by the navy to cooperate with the Kwantung Army's operations, as the commander.  This was something that Onishi Takijiro was unwilling to do.

    If this battle is fought well, it will certainly add some honor to oneself. If the battle is not fought well, one's position as chief of staff of the aviation fleet will probably be lost. Although he is only chief of staff, not a military commander, he will go south to fight against the enemy.  The battle between the United States and Britain is undoubtedly more important in Onishi Takijiro's heart.

    The reason why it is more important to him is that the United States and Britain, with their huge strength, are the real opponents in Onishi Takijiro's heart. At the same time, going south to fight is also a rare opportunity for him personally. But if it is because of this replacement,  The Army failed in its soy sauce campaign, and losing this position was really difficult for him to accept.

    It's just that cooperating with the Kwantung Army in this battle is not a happy choice for the commanders of the various aviation groups of the Japanese Navy. The previous heavy losses of the Kwantung Army's aviation group have shown that their opponent is a hard nut to crack.  , and this task was already considered a hot potato when the Navy simultaneously mobilized its troops to join the war, and no one was willing to take it.

    Those who are willing to come are either not qualified enough, or lack actual command experience in similar-scale operations, and those who have this experience and are qualified are not willing to come. At the same time, with all the elites of the Navy being deployed this time, the Navy does not dare to follow suit.  I casually handed over the foundation of the Naval Air Force to one person this time.

    You must know that these are the Navy's capital for fighting with the US and British aviation forces in Southeast Asia in the near future. If it loses too miserably, it will be difficult for the Navy to explain. This mobilization of carrier aviation to participate in the war has caused considerable dissatisfaction among the combined fleet.  If the loss is too great, the United Fleet will not do anything.

    It is for these reasons that the choice of this commander once caused a headache for the navy's top brass. In the view of the navy's top brass, this candidate must be able to win in a showdown with powerful enemies and win glory for the navy in front of the army.  Let the old haters in the Army see what a real aviation team is, and they must pay attention to preserving their strength and not ruining the Navy's only few hundred new fighters. The Navy has worked hard for this candidate.

    Although they have always looked down on the Army Air Force, the huge losses suffered by the Army Air Force made every naval officer a little uneasy. In their view, no matter how incompetent the Army Air Force was, the good guys were far better than the inferior Chinese, but they were still beaten.  With such a bear color, the opponent must have a hard nut to crack.

    At this moment, the commanders of the non-aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft groups who are most suitable as commanders are unwilling to bite this hard bone that has broken the Army's teeth. The southward combat training is currently in its infancy, and it is assigned to aircraft carriers.  The various aviation team commanders must not be transferred at this time. In this way, it will be even more difficult to select this candidate.

    The Operations Department of the Navy Command Department tried many times, and finally selected the commander who had just returned from the Chinese battlefield. He had rich experience in joint operations with the army, and was also the first commander to command the Zero fighter combat. It can be said that he was an actual combat commander.  The experienced Major General Onishi Takijiro.

    Moreover, this guy is considered very resourceful by many high-level naval officials, especially the commander of the Combined Fleet, who has always admired him. He is also the commander who suffered the least losses to combat aircraft among all the commanders of the Naval Air Force on the Chinese battlefield.  one of.

    The most important thing is that this guy is one of the first naval commanders to command the Zero in actual combat. He has rich command experience, and he has been on the Chinese battlefield for a long time, especially in the air raids on the rear areas such as Chongqing, and has been cooperating with the army.  In combat, he is the person in the navy who has cooperated with the army aviation for the longest time. If he is allowed to go, the navy will not suffer too much loss based on his personality, at least he will not be a scapegoat for the army.

    He will not act impulsively and cause irreparable losses to the Navy, because this guy, even the Navy's own people, are the targets of his calculations when needed, not to mention the bumpkins in the Army, this guy has always been the only one who plots against others.??, no one can plot against him.

    But regarding the Navy's decision, although he has always regarded himself as a regular soldier, Major General Onishi Takijiro, who was the first to propose indiscriminate bombing of China's major cities and whose hands were stained with Chinese blood, was not willing to do it.  It was not that he was afraid of fighting against the Anti-Allied Air Force, but because he was more interested in the position of Chief of Staff of the 11th Air Fleet.

    Faced with this obviously unwilling guy, in order to appease his emotions, the Chief of Operations of the Naval Command Department, Rear Admiral Shige Fukudome, and the Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Matoi Ugaki, who did not want to redeploy his subordinates at this time and were unhappy to have such a scapegoat.  A classmate of his in the 40th class of the Naval War School promised him that as long as he could ensure that the battle damage rate was within an acceptable range, the Military Command and the Combined Fleet would do their best to meet his needs.

    At the same time, Rear Admiral Shigeru Fukudome also personally promised that the position of Chief of Staff of the Eleventh Air Fleet would be reserved for him, and Rear Admiral Matoi Ugaki also agreed that as long as he remained as Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, the position of Chief of Staff of the Eleventh Air Fleet would be retained.  position, there will never be any substitutions.

    In fact, the two people's answer was just a trick to trick their old classmate into taking office as soon as possible. The two people's promise was worthless because they planned to incorporate it into the eleventh aircraft used by the shore-based aviation force going south.  The aviation fleet, with the exception of the Tainan Air Force that is being formed, has all been transferred to North Korea and placed under his command.

    Even if he were replaced by someone else, he would be nothing more than a short-term chief of staff. Instead of doing this, it would be better to give away a favor, appease this unruly guy, and by the way smoothen the command relationship in advance, familiarize himself with the command method, and evaluate this ten  There are still deficiencies in the formation of an aviation fleet that need to be adjusted and supplemented.

    As well as accelerating the running-in of the various aviation groups organized into the Eleventh Air Fleet, prompting the entire air fleet to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Anyway, that is what the chief of staff of the air fleet does. This time he is transferred to Manchuria to fight, as  He, the chief of staff of the 11th Air Fleet, took office ahead of schedule.

    However, the two high-ranking rear admirals did not say what the acceptable range of battle damage was, and Onishi Takijiro would not take the initiative to ask because he knew that the acceptable range could be changed.  For him, a commander who is always known for not sparing no expense, this is directly related to whether he can let go.

    Although the two old classmates gave him certain promises, allowing him to implement his plan calmly, he has not forgotten what the two old classmates promised. According to Onishi Takijiro's habit when fighting,  This is Han Xing's approach of having more troops, the better.

    Since I have been asked to take over this hot potato, I feel sorry for myself if I don't try my best to fight for it. Even if I can't fight for more zero battles, even if I fight for some experienced old pilots, it is still quite good, especially with Pyongyang.  The auxiliary fuel tanks and 20mm cannon ammunition are urgently needed for the take-off base, but are currently in short supply.

    Because for Onishi Takijiro, although he had prepared to mobilize some combat aircraft to Xinjing Airport, he had not thought about it at all, nor had he considered deploying any zero-fighting aircraft to the point where he might not know when they would land on the ground.  Allied ground forces artillery shells went to Xinjing.

    He believed that for a zero-to-zero battle with an extremely long range, taking off from Pyongyang and Wonsan would have sufficient combat radius and airborne time, and no forward movement was needed. What he called mobilization was reserved for the short-legged fighter jets of the Army.  His navy does not need to make any deployments near Xinjing, which has become a battlefield.

    Onishi Takijiro is making close calculations, assessing what kind of impact the three days of continuous rain will have on him, what else needs to be added to the next all-out attack plan, and what else can be obtained from the navy.  The good thing is that Yang Zhen, who has just returned to Harbin, is also talking to the Anti-Alliance Air Force commander and political commissar about today's battle.

    As soon as he got off the plane, he didn't even return to the headquarters. He didn't know that there would be three days of continuous rain, which had postponed the Japanese army's plan. Yang Zhen was met at the Harbin airport on the spot and commanded the entire Songhua River Basin.  Two people, aviation commander Fang Ziyi and political commissar Yuan Bin, participated in the first air defense operation.

    Looking at the two top military and political officers of the aviation force who were complacent about today's glorious victory, Yang Zhen shook his head slightly, knowing that the two of them had not yet understood the true purpose and intention of the Japanese army's move today, and were still thinking about it.  Today's battle was a clean victory.

    Indeed, in the eyes of many people, although this battle itself had certain losses, judging from the number of enemy aircraft shot down, it was undoubtedly a definite victory, and it was not just them, I am afraid that every one of their aviation forces  All pilots think so.

    This is not last year after all??That anti-alliance war not only had a numerical advantage, but also a performance advantage, and it also achieved a perfect and sudden battle. As for the see-saw battle for air supremacy during the spring, in many people's minds  The eyesight can only be regarded as a small thing.

    Compared with the previous air battles, this air battle not only had a large number of enemy aircraft, but also a large number of new fighter jets participated in the battle. In such an air battle, it is indeed a big victory to achieve such a battle loss ratio. Many people  In his eyes, today's air battle is a real battle.

    Perhaps this is the difference in vision caused by the different positions, the difference in vision, the gap in looking at the same thing. The two military and political officers of the aviation force only saw the tactical victory, but not the strategic victory.  The failure, let alone the impact today's losses will have on the headquarters' overall combat plan.

    The talents of these two subordinates are indeed outstanding, but they are too young. In the air combat of such a large corps today, there is still a certain lack of command experience. If they were more calm and experienced, the actual situation of the Japanese army would be  They couldn't help but notice the poor tactics, but their lack of experience in large-scale combat prevented them from discovering the loopholes in their adjustments in time. Instead, the Japanese army seized the opportunity.
