There is actually another reason why Tokyo is so eager to let Okamura Neiji launch the "Operation No. 1" plan: At this time, Hawk Sauce's F4F Hellcat fighter jet has already entered service and participated in the war.
The F4F Hellcat fighter jet was originally put into service in September 1943, but now it has entered the war several months earlier.
The reason why it happened several months in advance should be said to be related to Wang Xuexin.
The Hellcat fighter jet in history was finally finalized because Eagle Sauce captured a "Zero Fighter" during the Battle of Midway...
Prior to this, Yingjiang had never known the weaknesses of the "Zero Combat" and had no direction when designing the fighter plane, so the research and development of the Hellcat was at a standstill.
As a result, during the Battle of Midway, a Japanese "Zero" malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing on a desert island.
It's just a forced landing, because a forced landing doesn't mean that the "Zero War" will fall into the hands of Yingjiang. After landing, you can burn the "Zero War" to ashes by just lighting the fuel tank casually.
The problem was that the aircraft happened to land on a patch of ground covered with green moss during the emergency landing. When the front wheels of the fighter landed on the ground, they encountered strong resistance from the green moss and instantly lost their balance and turned over several times.
What's more, when the plane overturned, the pilot was strangled by several vines around his neck and died on the spot, leaving a quite complete "Zero" behind.
Yingjiang was the winner in this battle and soon obtained the "Zero War". In order to find the weaknesses of the "Zero War", they spent huge sums of money to transport the "Zero War" back to the country and then completely destroyed it.
After repairs and various aspects of test flights and air combat experiments, the weaknesses of the "Zero War" were found and the tactics for dealing with the "Zero War" were obtained, as well as the targeted Hellcat fighter aircraft known as the "Zero War Terminator".
But it's different now.
As early as last year, Wang Xuexin told Yingjiang about all the weaknesses of "Zero War".
Although these weaknesses mentioned by Wang Xuexin are "unfounded," the Yingjiang pilots fought against the Japs based on the tactics Wang Xuexin said and found that these tactics are indeed useful, which is another way to verify that "Zero War" does have these weaknesses.
.
Now that the weaknesses of the "Zero War" are known, it is not surprising that the "Hellcat" can be developed months in advance.
As for the "Zero Fighter" captured during the Battle of Midway, it only further verified that Wang Xuexin's words were correct.
Originally, the admiral of the Eagle Navy did not want to reveal that the Eagle Hellcat fighter jets were already in service so early.
Many commanders in Eagle, including Doolittle, have this plan: "We should keep the Hellcat server secret, and then speed up the replacement of Wildcat fighters with Hellcats. In this way, when fighting the Japs in the future, there will be a comprehensive
The overwhelming situation made the Japanese pay a heavy price!"
The admiral originally thought so, because it was very reasonable. Such was the suddenness of the battle. The sudden appearance of a large number of Hellcats could psychologically shock the Japanese navy and cripple them in one go.
However, after careful consideration, the admiral believed that it was better to enter the war in advance.
"Gentlemen!" the admiral said: "First of all, we have just won the victory in the Battle of Midway. The Japanese Navy should not make much action in the short term. In other words, it is not as far away from what you hope as one aircraft carrier and one aircraft carrier.
It may take a long time to suddenly use the Hellcat in a naval and air battle. What if it is half a year, a year, or even longer? Can we keep waiting like this?"
Seeing that the others were silent, the admiral continued: "What's more, our army's counterattack at this stage is mainly to carry out landing operations on the islands occupied by the Japanese. In such local battles, we may also encounter the Japanese's 'zero battle'
', When the time comes, will we still let the pilots fly the Wildcat to face them?"
This is very convincing.
Because pilots are a valuable asset to Yingjiang at this time. When there is a "Hellcat" that can crush the Japanese "zero battle", in order to make the battle unexpected in the future, let the pilot drive "
"Wild Cat" takes the risk, is it worth it?
If you are not careful, it may affect a certain landing operation, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Thinking of this, the commanders agreed with the admiral's point of view.
Finally, the admiral added: "What's more important is that the Japanese already knew that we had a 'proximity fuse'. We got the exact information, so they shifted their strategic focus to China. They are already deploying troops to China."
.But I believe they are still hesitating. You know why!"
"Yes!" Doolittle replied: "They think that the 'Zero War' is invincible in the air. Although we have proximity fuzes, as long as their 'Zero War' is not close to our warships, they can still shoot it down in the air.
Our army has everything that can fly into the sky! And if they can do this, they can defeat our navy with the tactics of 'cannons and giant ships'!"
The admiral nodded: "The enemy's combined fleet does have this plan. This is also a very reasonable estimate. Therefore, the enemy's combined fleet is not willing to fail. As a result, Tokyo has not made up its mind to shift its strategic focus. You understand me.
What do you mean?"
The commanders nodded.
This has been said very clearly.
Tokyo is still hesitant. They want to know whether the combined fleet is capable of using another tactic to defeat the Hawk Navy.
If so, then they don't need to shift their strategic focus to China at all.
If not, they have no choice.
The admiral finally concluded: "So, we should put the Hellcat into the battlefield and let the Japanese know how powerful it is! Now!"
So, in the early morning of that day, ten Hellcat fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier and flew to the Japanese "zero battle" patrol route surrounding the island.
Then, as expected, these ten Hellcat fighter jets wiped out a patrol team in one fell swoop. The casualty ratio was zero to five. One of the planes that escaped was injured. The pilot of Eagle Sauce deliberately let him go in order to let the Japanese know about the Hellcat.
How big an advantage fighter planes have over "zero combat"...Only Japanese pilots who have experienced it can explain this clearly.
Then, Tokyo was shocked again.
How can we still fight this battle?
The proximity fuse prevents the Imperial fighter planes from getting close to the Eagle warship. This almost means that the Eagle warship is immortal, or that the Empire has to pay a heavy price in exchange for the Eagle warship.
Yingjiang's new fighter jets make it impossible for Imperial fighter jets to seize air supremacy... This is fatal to sea and air combat.
Because naval warfare is different from land warfare, land warfare also has terrain that can provide cover so that enemy fighter planes cannot function.
As for naval battles... warships are like lice on a bald man's head on the sea. It is obvious that as long as he seizes air supremacy, the opponent will basically have to wait for death.
