Feng Wuyue led his fleet back safely and was treated with extraordinary courtesy.
The top brass of the Air Force, including Commander-in-Chief General Yang Yuting and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Feng Yong, personally arranged to welcome them. They held a grand welcome ceremony at Wonsan Airport and read out on the spot the telegram drafted by Zhang Hanqing on behalf of the Central Military Commission: "the Air Force will not The attack from thousands of miles away greatly strengthened my Chinese aspirations and caused the small country of Japan to lose face. From now on, the time when China allowed Japan to do whatever was wrong is gone forever!
The success of this battle also shows that the previous guidance strategy of the Central Military Commission on the navy and air force is correct. If we continue to develop along this path, we will definitely be able to build our army into a powerful navy and a powerful air force! "
After the instructive official words, there is a reward for this group of brave combatants: "In view of the great significance of this battle, and its important role in destroying the morale of Japanese soldiers and civilians and inspiring Chinese soldiers and civilians with ardent expectations on the front and rear. With a historic impact, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, all officers and soldiers participating in the war were awarded first-class collective merit!"
Subsequently, some pilots served as the backbone and "returned" to participate in further studies at the Air Force Command Academy; some were directly promoted and served as the seeds of newly established or reserve flying units; some formed the "Air Force Meritorious Crew" to give speeches across the country and continue to contribute to the Korean War. A few days later, Feng Wuyue was ordered to go to Seoul to meet with the young marshal.
It¡¯s snowing in Seoul, but Feng Wuyue¡¯s heart is burning. Zhang Hanqing not only highly praised his outstanding performance, but also elevated his raid to a political level and implicitly expressed optimism about his future in the military.
He is already a major general, which is not enough in terms of qualifications, but as an outstanding commander of the burgeoning Air Force, he has encountered the best opportunity in history.
The structure of the Air Force is very large. As a young military unit, the training of talents is far from enough, especially at the top level, where positions are basically vacant. Feng Wuyue is now the commander of the Major General Wing. If nothing else goes wrong, he will be promoted to Lieutenant General Commander of the Air Force after the war - there are too many vacancies in the Air Force, and the opportunity is huge.
Rather than letting the army and navy excel, the air force has accumulated strength. The army is firmly ranked first in the Korean War's credit book. This cannot be erased by anyone. However, whether it can overpower the opponent will be tilted in the post-war military development. The top brass in the air and sea are holding back their efforts.
Yang Yuting could only praise the navy's victory over the strong with a weak cruiser and the sinking of a light cruiser "Yura" and four destroyers. After the "Izumo" was sunk by accident, the domestic attitude towards the navy for a while The praise was unparalleled, and Yang Yuting started to sweat.
There is no greater merit than rescuing a driver, and no greater plan than running out of food. With the current strength, it is basically impossible to stand out in front of the Japanese army, which has already psychologically regarded China as its opponent. If the Air Force wanted to become famous, it had to find a new way. At this time, the long-range bombers introduced from the Soviet Union came into Yang Yuting's sight, and this was the reason why he launched the bombing of Japan.
No victory on the front line would be as great as the psychological impact directly bombing Japan had on its citizens. Yang Yuting is worthy of being called the little Zhuge of the clan, and his sword is still young. His idea is approved by Zhang Hanqing.
Therefore, through the mouth of Liao Yaquan, "Jiang Qian", Zhang Hanqing took the initiative and "unintentionally" revealed that the Air Force was going to launch a surprise attack on the United Fleet, which reassured the Japanese army and reassured them about the dispatch of Chinese bombers, thinking that everything was under control. among.
The air force in Sinuiju was actually feinting and took the opportunity to move to the front line, because there were already successor aircraft taking over; the aircraft taking off from Chongjin and Wonsan were the real owners, and they were equipped with long-range H-2 bombers.
Unprepared and unexpected, Japan suffered a big loss. It was obvious that the Japanese Army on the opposite side increased the frequency of takeoffs of reconnaissance planes, and the main force of the combined fleet that had been hovering at the mouth of the Yangtze River also gave up the fight here and turned to the north. Go, the pressure on the Yangtze River Fleet and South China was suddenly relieved a lot.
After learning that the fleet equipped with the "Chicheng" aircraft carrier crossed the Tsushima Strait and began to deploy defenses in the Sea of ??Japan off East Korea, Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly. After successfully "pinning" the combined fleet here, it will be unable to do anything big. When a fleet can only defend passively, its function has been greatly reduced.
In fact, this kind of battle is also needed to give the Japanese government and people a slap in the face: when I have the ability to directly threaten you, it is not appropriate for me to play blockade, harass, and keep the enemy outside the country. You have a strong navy, I have a rising air force, each fighting its own way. Either a decisive battle or a truce, you can't afford to delay!
Mainly it was the unexpected victory in the Korean War that gave Zhang Hanqing confidence. Before, he was still wary of the Japanese navy's destruction of China's maritime borders, but now he finally has a weapon to make the other side wary. His chances of winning have greatly increased, and it has also given him a bigger stage to formulate subsequent combat plans.
The world was shocked by the news that the Chinese Air Force had attacked the Japanese mainland. According to various previous signs, it is extremely close to Japan.The best time for right. As long as the resources are sufficient, the Japanese navy can seize the opportunity in the future battle for maritime hegemony with Britain and the United States.
After the empire had just risen, he was able to defeat the two Russian fleets in one fell swoop with the remnants of the Sino-Japanese War, setting a precedent for "yellow men defeating white men". He was confident that the empire could achieve greater glory.
Not only that, some outstanding people in the army also believe that the situation has taken a turn for the worse and that it is meaningless to continue to add troops to Korea. The most urgent thing is to end the war decently and learn from the pain, so as to gain a say for the army in the future war south. thing. Among these voices, Ishihara Wanji, who has already appeared in the foreground, is the representative.
But, will the Army, which has always had a huge influence in the political arena after the Meiji Restoration, be willing to give up its dominance? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
