Chapter 728

Sato, hearing the question from Nakamura, turns his head. His face is full of frustration and unwillingness, because he wants to avenge his subordinates, but he almost takes his own life in the end. War is not what he knew, because at that time, sitting in the cockpit of the Zero fighter, he could feel the incomparable confidence. Now, every time he thinks of the pictures of being chased and beaten by the U.S. air force, he feels that his wounds are aching, whether in his heart or in his arm.

The Zero fighter is no longer the invincible existence it used to be. Now most American pilots know how to use some three-dimensional maneuvers to get rid of the entanglement of the Zero fighter. No matter how brave he is, he can't change the disadvantages of the fighter itself. So in the sky, he feels like he is dancing in chains.

Thinking of this, he spoke slowly and said to Nan Yun Zhongyi in a hoarse voice: "Sir, the performance of our fighters has been understood by the Americans, and their maneuver evasion is despairing. I don't think these recruits can do what the dead veterans didn't do."

At this time, he is no longer afraid of the boss and other things. People who have experienced a life and death test often look at things very simply. In their eyes, there are only two options: survival or death. Nan Yunzhong sighed. He also knew that these valuable new pilots would not have much effect, but he really had no decent troops to use.

"If we can attract the US Navy within the operational radius of the air force, is it possible to reverse the war?" Nan yunzhongyi whispered, but he knew better than anyone. In fact, it was just a funny way to comfort the front-line soldiers and hypnotize them.

Like the United States, the great Japanese Empire has no independent air force, but only the army and navy in terms of establishment. The two hostile forces have their own aviation units. In terms of training intensity and consistent public praise, the overall strength of the Japanese Navy aviation is stronger than that of the army aviation. This also reveals a terrible message from another aspect: that is, if the Japanese Navy aviation is uncertain, the American army aviation is also uncertain.

Moreover, Japan's army aviation and naval aviation are basically two countries' aviation forces, and their production systems and personnel training systems are completely different. As far as airplanes are concerned, their models are different, their parts are different, their factories are different, and even their research and development are separate. In terms of the quality of pilots, a few months ago, the navy air force was better than the army air force, but now, it's really half the weight. But because land pilots can only use terrain navigation, they often get lost, while ship pilots can look at sextants to determine the azimuth. Therefore, only God can know how much role army aviation can play in the implementation of maritime missions.

The current situation is that the pilots of the Japanese Navy aviation are losing rapidly. During the fighting in this period, the Japanese army aviation, who originally did not participate in sea operations, were forced to be transferred to sea islands to participate in the war. However, these land aviation pilots can only fight Island defense and bomb ground targets, Because there is no reference object on the sea, they can't carry out support operations in a long distance, and their training has no project to bomb moving targets, so their attack effect on moving targets on the sea is very limited.

Such a patchwork of troops can only be regarded as better than nothing. It's a bit hard to expect it to create any miracle. Nan yunzhongyi and Yamamoto 56 held several combat meetings, but they all failed because there was no good way. What makes them more uneasy is that the U.S. Navy has not made a counterattack. It seems that the Americans are waiting for their powerful industrial production system to fully awaken.

In such a battle, the Americans are very clever and hit the Japanese Navy's soft spot. The Japanese Navy is in a very contradictory mood now. They hope that the Americans will fight back later so that they can cultivate more pilots, and they also hope that the Americans will start early so that the United States will not produce more weapons and equipment.

However, the Americans fought steadily. Nimitz obviously grasped the key point that Japan was most afraid of. Instead of rushing to seek a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy, he shrank in the waters of Hawaii to wait for his new fleet to join the battle sequence. By that time, the United States will have more than seven aircraft carriers, while the Japanese will lose the absolute advantage of the aircraft carrier fleet. At this time, the Americans will make an all-round counterattack in the Pacific, and the Japanese army can only cope with it.

Different from the difficulty of replenishing pilots lost by the Japanese Navy, the pilots lost by the US Navy can be replenished soon. The huge industrial system enables the United States to reserve a large number of pilots in the private sector, who can be quickly converted into basic fighter forces in wartime. Moreover, the survival rate of American pilots is much higher than that of their Japanese counterparts.

"Is there no way to change a fighter?" Sato suddenly asked Nan yunzhongyi, who had already gone a few steps away: "general, the performance of our fighters has been understood by the Americans. No matter how many excellent pilots go on fighting like this, they can't afford such fast consumption! Can't our technology department come up with a new generation of fighters? "

"Really... Can't take it out!" "Under normal circumstances, we should improve the Zero fighter and change the flight performance of the aircraft to cope with the current situation. However, there is no room for improvement in the design of the Zero fighter. If we change it by force, it will be the same as redesigning a fighter. "

"Let's redesign a fighter." An assistant clenched his fist and said. After all, as a technician who has participated in aircraft design, he knows how difficult it is to redesign an aircraft. In fact, an updated fighter has made a wooden model and is testing its resistance in the air. This kind of fighter has the same shape as the Zero fighter, but it is bigger and faster. Using newer engines, the fighter can reach an astonishing speed of 600 kilometers per hour, or even exceed that speed to the terrible limit of 650 kilometers. However, it is hopeless that the new engine is still in the laboratory, and the failure is difficult to control to a lower level. Even if it is barely equipped, whether it can achieve the expected effect is still unknown. The service time of this fighter was set in June 1939, that is to say, it will take about five months at the earliest. During this period, Japan can only rely on the Zero fighter leaked by akkado to fight with the increasingly powerful US air force“ We don't have time. " As soon as Nan Yunzhong looked back at the desperate Sato, he said dejectedly: "when we have new fighters, the Americans will have more than ten aircraft carriers. What will we take to defend the territory for his majesty? So, Mr. Sato, put away any fluke mentality. We can only fight until the last moment for the future of the great Japanese Empire Not far away, two land fighter planes are taking off slowly at the airport of China mainland airlines. They are ordered to take off and patrol the nearby sea area. Yamamoto 56 is standing at the edge of the airport at this moment. He is watching two planes with red sun signs fly slowly into the sky, and his heart can't tell what it's like. On the deck of the aircraft carrier, he sent away those familiar pilots countless times, but again and again, these pilots did not fly back. They died in a foreign country, and even their bodies were not left to their relatives in their hometown. As the top commander of these people, Yamamoto felt that he actually made the pilots die, so he became silent and depressed recently. As a general of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto, like many famous Japanese Navy generals, pursues the command principle handed down from the British Empire. In essence, the Japanese Navy is learning from the British Empire, the strongest maritime power. Therefore, Yamamoto and almost all Japanese commanders pay attention to Nelson's fighting spirit of fighting when they see the enemy. But this kind of arrogant idea is only felt by the British Empire, which has dominated the ocean for 100 years, because at least until 1937, the British Empire had money, ships and people. And the Japanese Navy, which pursues the idea of using it to play against the U.S. Navy, is killing itself. Japan's productivity is not as good as that of the U.S., and this disadvantage is more obvious when it comes to the Navy, a high-level arm. However, the Navy and air force always fight when they see the enemy. There is no time to accumulate their valuable pilots. It's not surprising that the commanders of the Japanese Navy are idiotic pigs, because they won the Beiyang navy of the Qing Dynasty and the Far East fleet of the Russians by learning from the British navy. Now this set of fearless spirit is not very useful. In the minds of ordinary people, it must be that the soldiers are not brave enough, It's not what's wrong with the basic tactics of pressing the bottom of the box. However, Yamamoto is not an ordinary player. He has realized that there is something wrong with the Navy's tactics of hard struggle and consumption. Now he wants to change this tactic and fight a guerrilla war with the Americans on the islands of Southeast Asia to consume the US maritime power. The problem now is that renyamamoto has all kinds of stratagems, and Nimitz of the United States will not go to war. Yamamoto dug a big hole for Nimitz in Southeast Asia. The U.S. Navy is not fooled and useless. So for now at least, the Japanese Navy is a tragedy.
