    Seeing the Japanese fighter planes escaping in panic, Li Guoyao showed a smile.

    He watched the entire air battle just now. To be honest, the performance of the air defense group was not very good, at least it was still a little behind his expectations.

    This is not pretentious, but the truth!

    He also knew the main reasons. Firstly, the troops lacked more lethal anti-aircraft artillery, and secondly, the quality of the soldiers needed to be improved.

    Although the air defense regiment has a large number of veterans, the hundreds of new recruits are all new recruits. Although they have participated in battles before, they were all Japanese infantry or tanks and had no experience in fighting combat aircraft.  So it makes sense to perform poorly.

    However, Li Guoyao was still very satisfied with his record. He shot down at least thirty enemy planes and damaged twenty. Such results were quite impressive.

    The reason why such a record can be achieved, in Li Guoyao's opinion, is mainly due to two reasons. One is the proper use of tactics.

    In this battle, they first used smoke to cause trouble to Japanese fighter planes. Normally, the Japanese army would not choose dive bombing. It would be too dangerous. Once it dropped to a certain height, a rifle might shoot down the fighter plane.

    Today they received a death order. The Kwantung Army headquarters ordered them to find ways to reinforce the remnants of the Ninth Division, so the Japanese fighters had to choose dive bombing.

    Because of this, the air defense brigade was given a chance!

    Secondly, due to the internal fighting among the Japanese, the development of the Japanese Army's fighter aircraft was slow.

    As we all know, there are conflicts between the navies and armies of various countries. After all, military expenditures are limited. There must be a focus on whether to prioritize the development of the navy or the army. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable in order to compete for military resources.

    But looking at all the countries in the world, there is no country that is as irreconcilable as Japan's navy and army. Especially during World War II, it became almost normal for the Japanese army and navy to fight with each other and undermine each other.  In the end, there was a strange situation where the Army built aircraft carriers and the Navy formed armored forces.

    The fact that the Army is building warships is by no means a lie, and the Navy¡¯s building of armored forces is not fiction either. This is what really happened in Japan.

    The reason is that the conflict between the two sides is sharp. No one trusts the other. Both want to eat meat from the other's bowl, but are unwilling to share it with each other.

    And things like this are too common among the Japanese army. For example, after the army captured Singapore, it seized a more advanced British radar, but then blocked the information and took it back for research.

    ??For another example, the Army built its own aircraft carrier, and when the Navy found out about it, the Army pointed to the hangar and said it was used for transportation.

    What¡¯s even more bizarre is that both the navy and the army purchased the same db engine from Germany and copied it. At the end of the war, when the two sides finally sat down to have a good technical exchange, they found that the parts produced by both sides were not universal No.  Universal

    To sum up, the thoughts of both sides are: "Navy: Army Red Deer (bastard)! Army: Navy Red Deer!"

    It is precisely because of this kind of almost reckless internal fighting that Japan, a country with a strong military strength, does not have its own independent air force. Instead, it has created an army aviation force and a naval aviation force!

    It sounds pretty awesome, two aviation groups!

    But in fact, due to the split of the Air Force, the Navy and the Army simply cannot achieve coordinated development in the development and use of fighter aircraft. Instead, they work on their own, and then fight on their own.

    Even at the end of World War II, Japan's defeat was already certain.  Under such circumstances, the Japanese navy and army were still fighting among themselves.

    The Navy believes that the sea should dominate the land, and the Army requires that the land must dominate and the sea follow.  The two military services refused to give in to each other, and the Japanese Army launched a rebellion. The response of the Japanese top brass was to order the Marine Corps to suppress it.  The history of confrontation between the army and navy did not end until Japan's defeat and surrender.

    Originally, the most famous and most effective fighter aircraft of the Japanese Army during World War II was the Zero fighter. In the early days of the war, the Zero fighter had a long range, fast speed, small turning radius, and flexible climb. It was almost the perfect fighting aircraft in the pilot's dream.  .

    "Zero War" first appeared on the Chinese battlefield in the second half of 1940. Once it appeared, it dominated China's air superiority. In the Chongqing air battle at that time, a total of 99 Chinese aircraft were shot down by "Zero War", and "Zero War"  Only two of them were burned down due to ground accidents.

    After the outbreak of the Pacific War at the end of 1941, the Allied carrier-based aircraft, whether they were the Navy's F2A Buffalo fighter, the F4F Wildcat fighter, or the Army's P40, were not "zero wars""In just a few months after the war began, two-thirds of the Allied fighter forces in the Pacific were wiped out.

    At that time, when US military pilots boarded the plane and set off, they knew that the possibility of returning was almost zero.

    Zero war has become the god of death in the air.

    Logically speaking, such excellent fighter aircraft should be deployed in both the navy and the army. After all, both the navy and the army are fighting for the country and have a common enemy.

    "But the Japanese don't think so. The navy strictly controls technology and keeps the army secret, so much so that the army aviation force is not equipped with Zero fighter jets.

    Therefore, the Japanese Army is still using old and shabby fighter planes, so it seems somewhat powerless when facing ground strikes from its air defense forces.

    If we had replaced it with a new fighter plane, the effect might not be so disastrous!

    I have to say that internal fighting is really exhausting, and even a country as strong as Japan cannot afford it.

    But these have nothing to do with Li Guoyao. The more fierce their internal fighting is, the better it will be for China.

    At the moment, what Li Guoyao is most concerned about is when the troops can completely annihilate the 9th Division. After all, it has been more than thirty hours since the siege started.

    Based on this time calculation, the Japanese reinforcements from the northern front should soon arrive at Baicheng. If the remnants of the Ninth Division cannot be completely wiped out within 8 hours, and then wait until the Japanese reinforcements arrive, there will be no chance.

    At that moment, Li Guoyao personally called Lin Li, who was in charge of the command in the city, and ordered them to speed up and, at all costs, to capture the Japanese garrison headquarters and annihilate the Ninth Division before 12 noon.

    After receiving Li Guoyao's order, Lin Li readjusted his deployment and sent the vehicles and tanks abandoned by the Japanese 19th Regiment a few days ago to the battlefield and joined the battle group.

    A few days ago, Colonel Lukou Tong brought dozens of tanks to reinforce the 7th Regiment. As a result, the troops were intercepted when they returned and encountered dense mine arrays. As a last resort, Lukou Tong could only let the armored troops in front to defend the  The army clears the way.

    Although they finally broke through successfully, they lost all their tanks. Most of them were completely destroyed, but some of them only had their tracks blown off.

    Since there was no way to repair it, we had to throw it away.

    Afterwards, Li Guoyao and others discovered this and immediately ordered people to carry out emergency repairs on those tanks. After replacing the tracks, four Type 95 light tanks and two Type 97 medium tanks were repaired.

    With the coordinated operations of the tank troops, the attack of the troops in the city became much smoother, and the Japanese army's multiple lines of defense in the inner city were defeated.

    When the battle lasted until eleven o'clock in the morning, the encirclement had been reduced to less than 500 meters, and there were only less than a thousand Japanese soldiers left in the city.

    With the garrison headquarters as the center and relying on more than a dozen nearby yards, these Japanese soldiers continued to resist to the end.

    But whether it is Lieutenant General Tasaka Ya88, Rokuchi Dou, Colonel Miyoshi Kihei and others, they are all desperate. With the current situation, they will not be able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements. It can be said that the destruction of the 9th Division has been completed.  foregone conclusion.

    At half past eleven, Lieutenant General Tasaka Eighty-eight held a burning ceremony at the temporary headquarters, burning the regiment flags of the two main infantry regiments on the spot, and then sent a farewell telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    Subsequently, Tasaka Eighteen executed all the radio operators and issued an attack order to his soldiers!
