    As for the main force of the American Air Force in the Far East of the Philippines, it is still the old-fashioned P35 and P36 fighter jets. The remaining P40 fighter jets are simply unable to fight against the Japanese army. Coupled with the two countries' armies stationed in Southeast Asia, their combat effectiveness  They are not even third-rate. Even if they figure out the performance of Zero War, they still cannot hold on to the rich and vast land of Southeast Asia.

    However, if we cannot defend it, we will not be able to defend it, but at least the losses in terms of navy and air force will be much lighter than the history we know. Although hundreds of fighter jets alone cannot change the outcome of the war, it will not at least not change the outcome of the war.  As future generations will know, the air force that attacks almost never comes back.

    Yang Zhen didn't know how the British, who were conservative and had always looked down on Asians and looked down upon even the Japanese, would react. Maybe they would sneer at the results of the Anti-Alliance, but when the Americans were overwhelmed by the war,  , the response speed has always been sharp, perhaps the occurrence and losses of the Pearl Harbor incident will not be affected.

    If the Americans figure out the performance of zero warfare in advance, the Japanese air raids and attacks on the Philippines will definitely not be smooth sailing. As long as the Far East Air Force deployed by the US military in the Philippines is preserved, the Japanese offensive against the Philippines will be seriously affected.  The impact is that it is even possible that more than half of those troop transport ships will be blown up while at sea.

    After all, the bomb load of a B-17 bomber is enough to send a Japanese infantry brigade to hell. Although this kind of high-altitude bomber poses little threat to flexible warships, as long as one bomb hits, the Japanese army below the heavy cruiser will be destroyed.  Few ships could withstand the bombing of the 225-kilogram bomb dropped by B-17.

    The B-17 bomber was indeed very powerful. Its range, bomb load, and protective power were the best in the world until the B-29 bomber came out a few years later. Especially its fire hedgehog, which had almost no traces on its body.  The self-defense firepower in the blind spot is a difficult opponent for any fighter that wants to intercept him.

    However, this kind of bulky bomber cannot be said to be powerless in the face of extremely flexible zero combat, but after all, it is just a bomber. If it is the two 7.7 mm caliber machine guns of the Type 96 fighter, it will naturally not care.  But in the face of a zero battle with two 20mm cannons, the survivability of the bulky B-17 bomber was still too weak.

    Before figuring out the weaknesses of Zero War, the B-77 bombers and P-40 fighter jets currently deployed by the US military in the Philippines are indeed far from their opponents, but after figuring out the weaknesses, they can definitely find a way to deal with Zero War. If the US military stationed in the Philippines  The aviation force was not completely destroyed when the battle started.

    According to the performance of the B-17, the Japanese landing force would probably have to pay hundreds of times the casualty rate to complete the plan to land in the Philippines. This huge bomber is somewhat useless when dealing with warships, but it is not suitable for dealing with the ground.  As well as the enemy forces on the beach, its carpet bombing capabilities and absolute lethality are first-rate.

    It is true that a new aircraft cannot change the pattern and direction of a war, but it can affect the course of a battle. The reason why the Japanese army was able to sweep across Southeast Asia in the early stages of the Pacific War was that in addition to the extremely poor combat effectiveness of the American and British troops in Southeast Asia, the British army's  Incompetence, selfishness and short-sightedness, as well as the superior navy's innate advantages in fighting the archipelago, the zero combat of its naval equipment completely destroyed the air protection network in Southeast Asia in the shortest time, which also has a lot to do with it.

    It was the excellent performance of the Zero War that completely destroyed the British Far East Air Force and the U.S. Philippine Air Force, depriving the entire Southeast Asia of air protection, allowing the Japanese navy and army to do whatever they wanted, and even sending the main force of the entire British Far East Fleet directly into  of the Indian Ocean.

    This allowed the Japanese army to land wherever they wanted on the battlefields throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Except for weak resistance on the ground, they almost did not encounter any obstruction in the air, air and sea. They were able to fight very skillfully.  Smooth sailing.

    But once the zero-combat performance was figured out, the Americans deployed the P40 fighter jets in the Philippines, and even the old P35 and P36 fighter jets, as well as the British Hurricanes deployed in Southeast Asia, and the subsequent Spitfires.  , as well as the Dutch's old-fashioned fighter jets such as the F2A Buffalo, can all compete with the Zero War in air combat.

    Before the actual situation of some things is disclosed, the threat will be great, but once that thing is exposed, it is worthless. The performance of Zero War is indeed outstanding, but the shortcomings are also outstanding, such as long range, low altitude and low speed.  The bucket performance and climbing performance are extremely excellent.

    However, the ceiling is small, the maneuverability is poor at high speeds, and the fragile body cannot withstand large overloads. As long as they are not fighting with this kind of fighter at low altitude and low speed, many old-fashioned aircraft may not be able to fight, and this kind of aircraft may not be able to fight.  Without armor or self-sealing fuel tanks, the fighter with the worst survivability will not survive as long as it is hit.Regardless of the caliber of ammunition, there was almost no chance of survival.

    As long as the secrets of Zero War are understood clearly, not to mention the Hurricane, Spitfire, and P-40 fighter jets, even the old-fashioned F2A Buffalo fighter jets and P-35 and 36 fighter jets will be able to compete with the Japanese army. Because of the speed of these fighter jets,  It's not worse than the Type Zero, but its body is extremely strong, and there's absolutely no problem with diving and attacking tactics with the Type Zero.

    Without a strong air protective umbrella, would the Japanese army still be so majestic in the early stages of the Pacific War a few months later? The bombers of the British Far East Air Force and the dozens of B-17 bombers deployed by the United States in the Philippines would be enough.  Little Japan drinks a pot.

    With the air protection umbrella, the main force of the British Far East Fleet will not be buried in the Indian Ocean, the cruisers and aircraft carriers in Colombo will not feed the fish, and the British Far East Air Force and the American Far East Air Force will not be killed by the Japanese.  Like a chicken, the whole army will be destroyed in a short period of time.

    The British Far East Fleet suffered no losses, and the British Far East Air Force defeated its opponents in an air battle. How could the British understand that they were allies, not rivals with their eyes reddened, so that they would be less likely to compete with the Anti-Alliance and even China for the United States?  Don¡¯t always worry about the rice in other people¡¯s bowls when providing aid supplies.

    Therefore, for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the heavier the losses suffered by the Americans and British on the battlefield, the higher the degree of interdependence with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the more advantageous it is for the Anti-Japanese Alliance. On the contrary, the less losses and bloodshed, the less the war will be.  The stronger the control of the game, the more disadvantageous it is for the alliance.

    Even if the US military delays in the Philippines for one more day, it is unacceptable to Yang Zhen. He has spent so much effort, isn't it just to let the Americans and British suffer a little more from the Japanese? For the United States and Britain  The greater the losses in the early stage of the war against Japan, the more advantageous it will be to fight against the alliance.

    Only in this way can the Anti-Japanese Alliance obtain a steady stream of American aid. If the Americans retain their air fleet in the Philippines and the British retain their fleet in the Far East, it will not be in line with the current interests of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. I will die as a Taoist friend but not as a poor man.  Tao is a common method used by all parties in World War II.

    Letting the two countries know and master the performance of the latest Japanese fighter jets is something only a fool would do. It is precisely for this reason that Yang Zhen asked Fang Ziyi to continue flying completely after a simple repair of the captured one.  There was no problem with the zero war, and the real reason for keeping it strictly confidential. In a few months, the zero war swept across Southeast Asia and most of the Pacific. Yang Zhen didn't want to miss it.

    Don't let the Americans and British shed more blood. They will be more generous. I only added a small amount of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to it. It is already a good match for these two people. If you want to help, you can,  There's nothing wrong with this, but I'm sorry that my help is not in vain.

    This is the game during the war, this is the private struggle. This kind of struggle is not only political, but also military. Whether it is the so-called Allies or the Axis Powers, in this war, the whole world has been ignited.  In the war, intrigues among the same camp have always existed.

    If you behave honestly, you will get nothing but suffering in silence. Compared with the British and the Soviet Union, China, with a weak industrial base and almost no self-sufficiency in military industry, will suffer in this private game.  The loss was even greater, and he almost didn't give up the entire command, and he didn't even have the right to distribute US aid supplies to himself.

    The urgently needed equipment has not been improved for a long time. On the other hand, a large amount of precious US aid has been wasted on meaningless wrangling and some useless efforts. China, a big country, but even a weak country, has no diplomacy and no say. This is  The tragedy of contemporary China is also the tragedy of an entire generation of Chinese people. It¡¯s just these private games that Yang Zhen couldn¡¯t tell his two capable subordinates.

    Yang Zhen did not explain the reason for requiring the two to keep it strictly confidential, and the two who were subject to discipline did not take the initiative to ask. For them, no matter whether they understood it or not, since No. 1 has issued an order, they must execute it even if they understand it.  To be implemented, this is the discipline of the Anti-League.

    After Fang Ziyi and Yuan Bin left, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to return to the headquarters. Instead, he leaned on the sofa in the reception room with his eyes closed in this small Japanese-style building next to the airport, which was actually the headquarters of the Anti-Union Air Force.  Sitting quietly on the backrest, the continuous running and non-stop discussions in the past few days and research have made him a little too tired. At this time, Yang Zhen felt tired in his bones.

    Sit here and be quiet, firstly, to regain some strength, and there are some things that Yang Zhen also needs to carefully consider. Where is the focus of the Japanese army's upcoming full-scale counterattack, and where should his focus be in the next battle?  Even the possible reasons for the problems at the radar station kept popping up in his mind.

    After a long time, Yang Zhen opened his eyes and looked at the paint outside the window.Under the dark night sky, he rubbed his eyes that were sore due to long-term lack of sleep. He stood up and wanted to greet Zhang Zixiong outside the door to return to the headquarters, but the fatigue all over his body made him sit back on the sofa.

    Thinking of his current state, Yang Zhen shook his head and decided to rest for another ten minutes before talking, otherwise it would be bad if he went out like this and caused a big shock. Yang Zhen, who just sat back on the sofa, looked out the window and felt something inside his head.  He hadn't rested yet. At this moment, he was still thinking about the radar station in his mind.

    Radar is crucial to future air operations and the air defense of the entire base area. Without the support of radar, it is difficult to guarantee air safety in a base area that is undergoing large-scale construction. After all, the base area is not within the pass, and the entire depth is still a bit too shallow. It is composed of a large number of people.  The response speed of air defense posts is far inferior to modern tools like radar, so Yang Zhen still attaches great importance to the safety of radar.

    However, his thoughts and doubts did not last long. Li Yanping, the political commissar of the military region, and Xiong Dazhen, the military industry director of the military region, who came to meet him. Xiong Dazhen, who was at the base at this time, knew that Yang Zhen, who had been famous for a long time, was  The character finally returns from the front, and the teacher who comes to visit takes care of it.
