On this day, Wang Xuexin was looking through the information sent by intelligence personnel and the front line.
Since the previous victory, the Japanese fighter planes have stopped a lot. The reconnaissance planes and bombers have completely disappeared. Only a few "Zero Fighters" occasionally appear in the sky over Yuncheng, but they only show their faces occasionally and then leave.
Already.
These reactions of the Japanese were what Wang Xuexin had expected.
After all, the Japs do not have the ability to deal with x1 in air combat, and even "zero combat" cannot counter it. So the air supremacy in the Yuncheng area can be said to be completely in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japs do not dare to invade easily.
But the Japanese did not dare to be defeated like a mountain. For example, they could withdraw the air force and the airport for 100 kilometers in one breath. The result of this would be that their ground troops and communication lines would lose air cover and be completely at the mercy of the Eighth Route Army rocket fighters.
One of the bombings.
Therefore, the Japanese Air Force guards the last line of air defense: a position one hundred kilometers away from the airport.
The choice of this location is reasonable.
A distance of one hundred kilometers would take more than ten minutes to reach at the speed of the "Hawk 81". Coupled with the early warning from the radar, the Japanese would have enough time to launch their fighter planes into the air to fight.
However, the "Hawker 81" is a bit embarrassed at this distance. Its combat radius is only more than 300 kilometers, and the airport is 100 kilometers away from Yuncheng. If it advances another 100 kilometers, there will only be more than 100 kilometers of floating fuel.
More than 100 kilometers of floating fuel may sound like a lot, but for an aircraft traveling at more than 500 kilometers per hour, it only takes ten minutes. The fuel is consumed by just following the enemy in a few circles during a tense battle.
Therefore, the Japanese Air Force did not dare to act rashly, and the Eighth Route Army Air Force did not dare to attack easily.
There was a rare calm over Yuncheng.
An additional benefit brought by this battle is that the morale of the people in Yuncheng is unprecedentedly high.
To be precise, not only the people of Yuncheng, but the people of the entire China, including the people in enemy-occupied areas, were inspired by this battle, especially the puppet troops.
That is to say, what Okamura Neji was worried about before has begun to take shape...
If the Japanese aviation force cannot defeat the Eighth Route Army, does that mean the Japanese are doomed?
If the Japs are about to be doomed, is there any future for following the Japs?
If this continues, one day the Eighth Route Army will come over. Will those of us who are hanging around in the puppet army be "dealt with" as traitors?
He who knows the current affairs is a hero. If he doesn't leave now, how will he wait?
Therefore, on the front line of Luliang Mountain, hundreds of puppet soldiers deserted the secrets and defected to the bright side every day, and these puppet soldiers often carried one or two Japanese heads... The Japanese used a few Japanese soldiers to control more than a dozen puppet soldiers to prevent them.
They rebelled and fled. If the puppet army was not eliminated, it would be difficult for them to defect to the Eighth Route Army.
Regarding this phenomenon, the chief joked with the chief of staff: "This is called conquering the enemy without fighting. What we old guys have not been able to do, let Xiao Dongbei do it!"
"
The chief of staff also replied helplessly: "It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. In this way, the situation of our army will be greatly improved, and Yuncheng can develop with peace of mind!"
The leader nodded with satisfaction and said: "With the current situation, we don't need to be anxious. The ones who are anxious should be the Japanese! So, let's do a 'defense instead of attack'!"
The chief's strategy is correct.
Because the current situation of the Eighth Route Army can make the Japanese desperate and unable to deal with it, then if the security of Yuncheng is guaranteed, then the military industry of the Eighth Route Army will grow rapidly. As the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army get better and better, and the Japanese
Are the advantages getting smaller and smaller?
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army only needs to wait at this time.
Moreover, this waiter still has the initiative and is "waiting for work".
On the contrary, the Japanese felt uncomfortable and had to attack. Otherwise, if the Eighth Route Army continues to grow at this rate, one day they will not be able to attack even if they want to.
Wang Xuexin is not as optimistic as others.
Several pieces of information about the training of Japanese fighter jets attracted his attention... This is what Wang Xuexin is most concerned about.
Because Wang Xuexin knew that Okamura Neji would never admit defeat, especially in terms of air superiority.
If the Japanese have lost even air control over China, does that mean that roads, railways and even sea routes will be bombed by the Eighth Route Army?
Will the puppet army collapse faster?
Encouraged by one victory after another, will the Chinese people unite and beat the drowned dog?
The biggest fear in war is this, that everyone loses confidence in victory.
Previously, when the Japanese invaded China, because the Chinese army was defeated so quickly, most people in China believed that the Japanese were "invincible", and the idea that "China must be defeated" spread rapidly.
The result was that large numbers of people and troops turned to the Japanese, including the rebellion of the Wang puppet regime and its so-called "curve to save the country" theory.
But now...
What if the whole situation was reversed?
Everyone believes that China will win and the Japanese will lose. What will happen?
This is something Okamura Neiji and even Tokyo would not dare to imagine.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that in order to prevent this situation from happening... to be precise, this situation has already happened, but if the Japanese want to prevent it from deteriorating, they must do everything they can to regain ground in air combat.
The Bureau even regained air supremacy.
Basically, Wang Xuexin's energy during this period was not actually on the improvement of "High Fire", nor on the training and combat at Wangxing Airport, nor on the much-anticipated Rising Star X1.
Wang Xuexin's focus was on the reaction of the Japanese Air Force. He wanted to know what methods the Japanese had to deal with x1.
To be precise, Wang Xuexin wanted to know how the Japanese planned to regain air supremacy.
In this regard, Wang Xuexin could only use Zhang Zongping as his staff... Although Wang Xuexin's subordinates controlled many resources, they did not have intelligence personnel.
This was a trivial matter to Zhang Zongping. After hearing Wang Xuexin's order, he immediately responded: "I'll make arrangements right away. I believe the enemy's actions cannot escape our eyes!"
Zhang Zongping is not making excuses, but aircraft training is something different...it is chased by flying in the air. Intelligence personnel only need to have a high-power telescope in their hands to basically see the training situation of the Japanese fighter planes.
Unless the Japanese arrange all training at night.
But this was not appropriate, because the battle with the Eighth Route Army was during the day, and Japanese pilots also needed to adapt.
As a result, the Japs' training situation quickly reached Wang Xuexin's desktop:
"The Japanese fighter jets are conducting large-angle avoidance training during this period, most of which involve climbing to high altitudes!"
