If Xu Jie is asked to evaluate the do335, then Xu Jie’s point of view is that the good idea was ruined by the miserable design. The front-pull and rear-pull design can indeed allow this aircraft to have a good speed. Certain models of do335

Using two db603s, you can easily fly to a high speed of more than 700 kilometers. Even the speed of p51b and d is only this. It can be said that

It was one of the fastest twin-engine propeller aircraft in service in the late World War II. The biggest problem of the do335 is its climb. Even the most optimistic estimate is that the do335 can only climb about 1200 meters per minute when driving the mw50. And the Spitfire

And the climb of the Corsair 4 under high-standard oil conditions is incomparable. The problem of climb is not caused by the engine layout, but by the weight.

It is also a twin-engine fighter. The empty weight of the P38 is only about 5 tons. The empty weight of the DO335 is close to 8 tons! Simply looking at this empty weight, you can know that the power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft is really bad. If it can reach the estimated 1200 per minute

The climb of meters is quite good. The extra weight of more than 2 tons ultimately ruined this very innovative aircraft. If the weight can be reduced to about 6 tons in the end, then this aircraft should still be very good. After all,

The main weakness of this aircraft is its climb. The roll and dive performance are not bad. In this process, the weight of the built-in magazine and fuel tank must first be reduced. Then as the weight is reduced, the weight of the landing gear can also be reduced. Then

Reduce the weight step by step to a tolerable level. This is exactly what Richthofen is currently instructing the technical department to do. They plan to design the do335 as a specialized long-range fighter because the Germans lack this thing.

At this time, China did not know that something that had been crooked in history was getting back on track. While the Germans were making adjustments based on the situation on the front line, Qin Yue was also considering the impact of the future air battle. When he saw the combat situation sent up

After that, Qin Yue's first reaction was frustration. He originally thought that the Germans would attack in the first wave

China tried its best to do this. To this end, he specially combined the British and American fighter forces to prepare to severely damage the opponent's attack power. Who knows that in the end, the opponent fought very restrainedly. The strategic bombers almost did not move, and the attacks on deep targets were also relatively limited. Although

Judging from the exchange ratio, China has the advantage. However, the results are still lower than expected.

"If this continues, it may be difficult for our future plans to be carried out smoothly. It is said that the German Air Force requires the army to learn to be self-reliant. It seems that General Peng Yi's armored forces will have to rely on themselves in the future." Qin Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly.

road.

China's goal is to ultimately secure the northern part of Iran. To this end, Xu Jie even did not hesitate to use strategic air force to threaten the oil-producing areas of the Transcaucasus. However, this plan also has many difficulties. As a time traveler, Xu Jie is very aware of the historical impact of the British and American air forces on Germany.

How much did strategic bombing cost? Tens of thousands of heavy bombers and more than 100,000 crew members were lost! One

The starting cost of the b17 was as high as US$350,000! Not to mention the loss of ammunition, fuel and training personnel. The loss of bombers alone is an astronomical figure! Not to mention whether Xu Jie can make up his mind to fight a cruel aerial strangulation battle,

Simply maintaining the strategic bomber force to destroy the Transcaucasus is a very difficult thing for China now.

And from a political point of view, Xu Jie is also worried that the attack on the Transcaucasus will touch the bottom line of the Germans. Dealing with Germany is a matter for China and the Allies. If China really does this, the final result will be that it will be pushed to the front and directly fight with the Allies.

They are completely broken, so Xu Jie will send bombers for a symbolic attack at the right time, but if it is really a life-and-death fight in the Transcaucasus, it will be difficult to make this determination. And the Air Force is also relatively opposed to this.

Therefore, the priority of this plan was pushed to the second place before the war. The Chinese Army and Air Force decided to implement another plan that was less costly and could also deter the Allies. This plan had actually been formed a long time ago, and the new plan was not

It is an enhanced version of the original plan. Then

Under the cover of the air force, with Mosul as the core, they carried out encirclement and reinforcements, severely consuming a series of elite German troops. Attacking this oil production base was one goal, and the more important goal was to let the German army

Realizing that the price of attacking the north would be high, he finally chose to let go.

In fact, the German armed forces are not very concerned about the territory in northern Iran. Maybe the Kaiser wants to include all of Iran in the Allies' sleeve. But the Prussian officer corps must consider the cost and price of this plan in advance. In the final analysis, the Germans

I still want to get a suitable forward base. Iran is not Italy. The latter's industry can provide the German armed forces with the equipment they need. Iran has nothing but some oil. The Germans in this plane are not short of oil.

.And the top brass of the German army understand very well,

Even if northern Iran is captured, there will not be much fuel that can be distributed to the three armies. Because according to the agreement, Iran's oil will be divided among the three companies. After Germany gets a part, it will naturally not give it all to the army. So the final result is,

Comparison of benefits from taking northern Iran

Limited, in this case, the opinions of the top German military officials and the Kaiser will diverge. There is an old saying in China that county magistrates are not as good as current officials. If the three German armies make up their minds and do not want to fight to the end with China, then both sides will have a final resolution.

The basis for a negotiated settlement of the Iran issue.

Judging from the current situation, the German Army is very strong. It is large and well-equipped. However, due to logistical and various conditions, the number of troops that can be used in the Middle East is still relatively limited. Moreover, the German Army is considering changing its equipment.

.The tanks currently in use are still the early Panzer III and IV tanks. But the factory is considering producing the improved Panzer IV and Tiger tanks.

Gram. Replacing new tanks requires production capacity. Therefore, the production capacity of early tanks will definitely be reduced. The German General Staff also plans to let the Tiger tank appear in this war. On the one hand, it is necessary for this kind of tank to form combat effectiveness.

A certain period of time. Another reason is that the Germans regard it as a strategic weapon to defeat the enemy. Therefore, they must prevent premature exposure.

Of course, to realize this plan, the Army needs strong support from the Air Force. If the Air Force wants to do this, it must first consume a large amount of the German Air Force. Compared with the Germans, the Chinese and Allied Air Forces have more than enough defense and insufficient attack.

As for Kirkuk, it will obviously have to hit the opponent's inside line. Once the offensive and defensive momentum is transformed, then all the advantages of the Chinese Air Force will belong to the Germans. If the Chinese Air Force is allowed to attack the German defense line, then

This is quite difficult.

The German Air Force's plan inadvertently disrupted the strategic layout of the Chinese Air Force. The Germans did not pay a high price in the initial air battle. Their strength was still firmly dominant. Therefore, in order to deal with this change, Xu Jie and Qin Yue needed to re-

Revise the tactics. Originally, in order to cover the army, China still prepared some Tiger Cat aircraft and medium bombers to support ground operations. The former can be equipped with cannons and become interceptors.

, it is a bomber with bombs attached. But unfortunately, the strength of the German Air Force is still the same. In future attacks, the Chinese Air Force will still consider air combat first and then consider ground attacks, so the aircraft shipped to Iran were quickly replaced by Foxbat twin-engine fighters.

(Chinese version p38.) The Tiger Cat fighter jets continue to be used. Except for some electronic warfare aircraft and special aircraft, all medium bombers have been replaced...

In addition to providing the fleet with stronger air combat performance, China also needs to equip the army with more mobile anti-aircraft artillery and mobile radars. After all, if the air force cannot guarantee battlefield air superiority, the army can only rely on its own firepower for air defense.

The Chinese Army even decided to deploy a large number of anti-aircraft artillery in some key material transfer centers and install early warning radars and fire control radars. In order to meet the needs of the attacking troops, the Chinese Army even reduced the anti-aircraft firepower of some big cities.

However, what Xu Jie and Qin Yue did not expect was that the arrangement made by China did not have much effect at the beginning. It is not that the Allied Air Force has become unrivaled, but because the Germans were under the influence of the war.

In the first stage, the main air force was used in southern Iran. It seems that the Germans are also used to picking weak targets. So much so that China is attacking

At the beginning of the attack, they did not suffer too many air attacks. Even many Foxbat fighters originally equipped with air superiority mounts were replaced with bomb racks to perform ground attack missions. Of course, this was only the case in the German Air Force.

It was like this before I realized it. After a large number of BF109 fighter jets were transferred to the northern front, the air attrition war between the two sides officially kicked off.

If the battle between the Luftwaffe and the Chinese Air Force in the early stages of the war could be said to have been deliberately handled by the Germans and the Chinese Air Force was caught off guard, then the British and the United States could be described as laying down their guns. They really did not expect that the Germans would not be able to compete with the largest force on the northern front.

China's aerial cluster will fight you to death

I live, but to fight for a deeper doctrine of the US and British air forces. In terms of distance, the US and British positions are undoubtedly farther away from the German air force bases. The German air force would rather build the airport step by step than eat this weakling first. So then

, fully expecting to avoid the fierce German offensive in the early stages of the war.

The United Kingdom and the United States were first attacked by the German Army and Air Force. This also proves the truth that weak opponents must be eliminated first. Not only did the Air Force decide to open a gap from the southern front, but the German Army also decided to open a gap from the southern front, but the German Army was also in Turkey in the north.

and the Austro-Hungarian army provided some armor

After the reserve team, they also began to march to the north. Because the US and British troops were deployed relatively far back, the German attack went very smoothly. It was more like an armed parade than a confrontation. The carelessness of the US and UK also made the Germans attack very smoothly.

The German Army took advantage of the initial attack.
