"Is this really the only way to do this?"

Tada Jun looked at the military map without saying a word, all kinds of thoughts kept hovering in his mind, racking his brains to try to deal with it.

After more than half a month of bloody battles, the North China Front Army paid a heavy price and finally gained some active advantage, recovered two county towns, and conquered several Tiger Army defense lines in pieces.

Although all this is not ideal, at least I have found a breakthrough, and can move forward step by step, and find more combat opportunities in battle.

However, in just a few hours, the situation reversed greatly. All the efforts and sacrifices before were wasted. Tada Jun was stabbing tens of millions of needles in his heart, and the pain was unbearable.

"Tada-kun, our enemy is completely a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. Once he seizes the opportunity, he will pounce on it regardless of everything! We must make a response as soon as possible, otherwise the losses will be further expanded!"

Naosaburo Okabe could naturally understand Tada Jun’s mood, but at this time it was obvious that he could no longer hesitate or take luck.

"Order the front line troops to stop attacking immediately and withdraw the defensive fortress to guard against the counterattack of the Chinese army. In addition, order the peripheral defense forces to add observation posts and closely monitor the movements of the Chinese Air Force 24 hours a day."

Tada Jun is not stupid, you will know what to do if you think about it a little.

In just ten minutes, the Japanese Army Air Fighter Flock and HNA Fighter Flock flew over Jinan one after another, but at this time, the shadow of the Chinese aircraft flock could be seen.

Unable to surround him and dare not chase him, the Japanese fighter fleet circled over Jinan, Laiwu and Tai'an, and finally had to return helplessly.

Tokyo Imperial House, Japan.

After receiving a telegram from Shun Tada, Hirohito summoned the commander of the Japanese 1st United Airlines Corps, Tatsume Yamaguchi, as soon as possible.

After receiving the call for summoning, Yamaguchi Tatsume went straight to the Emperor's Imperial Hall as soon as possible.

"Yamaguchi-kun!"

After the ceremony, Hirohito waved his hand and asked Yamaguchi Dawen to sit in the seat, then asked: "I want to ask, is there really no way to deal with the air force of the Chinese Tiger Army?"

Yamaguchi Daowen pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although the total strength of the Imperial combat aircraft is far greater than that of the Tiger Army Air Force, the aviation regiment faces more than the Tiger Army Air Force.

More importantly, the combat aircraft of the Hu Ben Army have excellent performance, amazing defense, fierce firepower, and better maneuver power than the Imperial Air Force. In addition, they have very complete radar networks and ground air defense networks."

Hirohito frowned and said, "What do you mean is that even if the empire puts all its strength into it, it will be difficult for it to obtain air supremacy on the Shandong Peninsula?"

"Hayi!"

Yamaguchi Tatsume nodded and then said: "Because the enemy has a very complete radar network, they can take the lead and prepare for combat in advance, and in air combat, the lead can often determine the outcome of the battle.

Even if the enemy air force is far less than that of the empire, we can use the advantage of home field combat and adopt targeted tactics to form a force advantage within a local area to implement encirclement and annihilation war.

Therefore, I believe that according to the current strength of the Imperial Air Force, it is difficult to completely wipe out the Tiger Ben Army Air Force and completely control the air supremacy of the Shandong Peninsula.

On the contrary, if you continue to consume this way, the situation is likely to reverse!"

"I understand!"

Hirohito breathed lightly, then his eyes froze and said, "Yamaguchi-kun, do you think the Japanese Empire needs to form an air force alone?"

During World War II, Japan had only the army and navy, and there was no independent air force system at all. The Japanese Air Force could only be called "air combat force" and had always been dependent on the army and navy.

After being stimulated by the Tiger Army Flying Tigers, Hirohito had long realized the powerful and key role of the Air Force, so he had a strong desire to separate the Air Force.

"Nani?"

Yamaguchi Daowen was shocked suddenly, and his heartbeat suddenly soared. He suppressed his excitement and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it is very necessary.

There is no doubt about the powerful role of the Air Force, but the Imperial Air Force currently has no independent system and has become an auxiliary weapon for the army and the navy. This is very unfavorable to the development and role of the Air Force!”

The Japanese Army and Navy control Japan's military and political power, but the two sides are in a state of great power and have deep conflicts. In order to obtain more aircraft, the Japanese Navy and Army not only compete for active aircraft, but also launched their own aircraft manufacturing projects.

Because both sides do not like each other and refuse to share technology, the strange phenomenon of repeated introductions by the army and the navy on the same production line has occurred, causing huge waste of resources.

The Japanese base camp had an idea of ​​forming an air force a long time ago, but it quickly denied it.

Because they believe that if the air force is independent, it will infringe on the existing interests of the Navy and the Army. Unless the heads of the base camp do not want to mess around, neither the Army nor the Navy can afford to offend them.

However, due to the butterfly effect, the Tiger Army Flying Tigers really scared the Japanese Air Corps. Hirohito could no longer hold back his anger. Over the past few days, he has been planning to establish an absolute advantage in the Air Force to crush the Flying Tigers.

The question just now was just to listen to your opinions. Hirohito had already made up his mind and immediately said, "Mr. Yamaguchi, I decided to appoint you as Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force to be responsible for forming the Air Empire Army. Are you willing?"

"Hayi!"

Yamaguchi Daoshi was so excited that he bowed his head heavily and said, "I must live up to my mission!"

"Soga!"

Hirohito nodded and then asked: "According to the current Imperial Army Air Corps, how many air force units can be formed?"

Since the Navy Aviation Corps carrier-based aircraft was seized by tigers and could not be separated from the air force, Hirohito did not include HNA aircraft in the plan.

After a little thought, Yamaguchi Tatsumeda replied respectfully: "Avoid it, there are about 1,000 combat aircraft of various types in the Empire. If some are produced, they can be organized into one front army with three aviation divisions under their jurisdiction..."

"Only three aviation divisions?"

Hirohito frowned slightly, and then said domineeringly: "Three aviation divisions are far from enough. The empire must form at least ten aviation divisions!"

If you don’t live without a mad demon, Hirohito was really stimulated and made up his mind to enter the state of a crazy violent soldier.

"Nani? At least ten aviation divisions?"

Yamaguchi Daoshi's pupils were tightened and he was frightened directly, but he was afraid that Hirohito would not understand the situation, so he quickly reminded him:

"Your Majesty, an aviation division has four aviation wings under its jurisdiction, each aviation wing has three aviation brigades, each aviation brigade has four aviation squadrons, each aviation squadron is equipped with twelve to fifteen fighter jets of various types.
