The Chinese Air Force has just been established. It can avoid detours by directly exploring advanced experience. Anyway, the military circles are in the dark about how to organize the Air Force. Let¡¯s just set it in the Air Force tactical regulations. After running in for a long time, you will naturally be forced to form a theory.
But unlike the United States in later generations, the aviation wing is not only responsible for the logistics support of its own aircraft, but also ensures all friendly forces stationed at the airport or participating in combat missions. Each combat brigade can focus on fighting. "When you go to heaven, you fight, and when you land, you stay in a hotel." They don't have to worry about clothing, food, housing, transportation, repairs, and maintenance. In this way, they can check into any airport across the country at any time and go into battle!
Although everything is still on paper now, the large-scale construction of the Air Force is about to begin. According to the principle of "people wait for equipment", it is necessary to establish a number of base wings without combat groups in advance - there will never be aircraft There's nowhere to stop or refuel, right?
The airports in Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao and Tianjin have all been built, while the construction of Siping has been cancelled. When everything needs to be streamlined, direct transfer from Changchun to Shenyang can be achieved. Beijing had Nanyuan Airport during the Zhili system, but at that time the Zhili system only had a few small planes, but the Fengxi system took advantage of it.
The Air Force decided to build multiple airports along the coast. Starting from Tianjin, one more is added to the north: Jinzhou. Its mission is to assist in the attack on Dalian, where the Kwantung Army is entrenched, during wartime.
The south coast is the first-line base, including Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou and Zhanjiang, a total of 13;
The second-tier bases include Changsha, Nanchang, Wuhan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, and Shijiazhuang, a total of 6; the third-tier bases include Taiyuan, Guisui, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanning, Guiyang, and Kunming, a total of 10;
In the far northwest, a total of 6 cities including Altay, Dihua, Hami, Yumen, Xining and Yinchuan are under construction.
A total of 20 first-line airports will be built in Beijing, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Jinzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin in advance. These are the forefront of China's coastal defense line, tasked with supporting naval and army operations, and also tasked with defending maritime airspace. .
Therefore, it is necessary to establish some air defense groups in advance according to the airport conditions. Of course, the military rank of a base wing commander without a combat group is lower, a colonel, rather than a major general when fully staffed.
Do what you can in advance, and bite the bullet if you have difficulties. In Zhang Hanqing's view, talent reserve is more important than anything else. He creatively put forward the construction steps of "introduction, imitation, surpassing, accumulation, quality instead of quantity". With limited funds, the Chinese Air Force quickly took a big step forward.
In the national defense strategy of Zhang Hanqing, Fengjun veterans, Jiang Baili and others, a war between China and Japan is inevitable - Chinese public opinion has listed the recovery of Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture as the first choice. This is also the key to whether the Republic of China can become a sovereign and independent country. national symbol.
And Japan cannot give up its occupation of Kanto Prefecture no matter what - some Japanese even liken Kanto to their "second hometown." From the perspective of public opinion, the Japanese people cannot allow Japan to abandon Kanto Prefecture.
In the long history of China and foreign countries, no country has ever achieved the status of a great power without going through a war. In modern times, China only achieved the status of a great power after defeating the United Nations forces led by the United States in the Korean War. In the 1970s when the national economy was not wealthy, It has become one of the "big triangles" of great importance to the international community.
If old China wants to become a real great power, war is inevitable, and Japan is the first obstacle to China's rise!
Although China¡¯s economy has achieved considerable development, it is impossible to form a comprehensive and overwhelming advantage over Japan in the short term: the military innovation debt owed since the Opium War cannot be repaid in one day.
Although China has an army of one million, they all grew up during the civil war. The gap with foreign advanced military concepts, logistical support, joint operations and combat experience has not narrowed, but widened.
As far as Japan¡¯s current strength is concerned, the Chinese government must mobilize the whole country and invest all its fiscal revenue for five years in order to build a navy of the same size!
This does not include the inability to produce. So far, vehicle engines, aerospace engines, railway locomotives and large ship steam engines that restrict China's transportation cannot be independently manufactured. The booming industry has made the production of coal and steel far less than demand.
¡°In case the Sino-Japanese war forms a stalemate like that of later generations, this stalemate must be kept as far away from China as possible. The weakness of the navy made it a joke to travel across the ocean to attack the Japanese mainland.
But air strikes are another matter: air transportation is not only shorter than the distance on land and sea, but also has no geographical obstacles, making it easier to move. And air combat can penetrate enemy defense lines through air traffic.?It has something to do with the wealth of the United States. After all, people are rich and can afford to support a large number of high-ranking Air Force officers.
But now, like Japan, the U.S. Air Force still has not formed an independent service. It did not break away from the Army until 1947 in official history, two years after the end of World War II. Therefore, although its concept of military ranks exceeds that of Japan, there is still a gap between it and China from a systemic level.
It is said that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. The country's needs and generous treatment have made more and more talents willing to join the air force, especially the pilot team. This has enabled China to not only keep pace with the great powers in terms of hardware in the initial stage of the air force, but also reserve a large number of outstanding talents, showing that it is a major aviation country. potential and style.
Of course, this is related to China¡¯s huge population base. When there are more people, there is a lot of room for selection, and admission can be easily made on the basis of merit.
Anyway, with this favorable situation, the number of pilots has doubled exponentially, which has laid a good foundation for the rapid expansion of the Air Force. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
