Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1413 Change Plan
"Your Excellency, General!" Just as Neiji Okamura was deep in thought, Yoshio Shinozuka reminded him from the side: "The scheduled time to attack Datong is approaching. Do you want to order an attack?"

Neiji Okamura hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, cancel the attack!"

"Cancel the attack?" Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Ningji Okamura in surprise: "But General, our preparations..."

Neiji Okamura shook his head helplessly, looked at the map and said, "The Eighth Route Army has already made full preparations in Datong, we can't defeat Datong!"

"Your Excellency, General!" Yoshio Shinozuka objected, "We have strengthened the artillery in the direction of attacking Datong. It has more than a hundred long-range artillery and a tank regiment. It should be no problem to take Datong!"

"There won't be any artillery!" Neiji Okamura sighed.

This time even Kono Mata was puzzled.

After being silent for a while, Shinta Kono said, "Your Excellency, what you mean is that what happened at Yanmen Pass...will happen in Datong?"

Okamura Ningji nodded.

"But..." Kono Shinta said: "The situation at Yanmenguan is different. The Eighth Route Army took advantage of deploying artillery on high ground. Although we don't know how they transported artillery to high ground, the artillery battle will be like this. The result is justifiable, I think...Your Excellency, you don’t have to think of Datong just because of this!”

Shinta Kono nodded. This happened not long ago and caused a sensation throughout the empire. Even the Tokyo side demanded to find out exactly what method and equipment the Eighth Route Army used to intercept the empire's manned missiles.

It is absolutely impossible to withdraw the troops. With such a big plan, a total of three divisions were mobilized, and the artillery and tanks of other troops were transferred to strengthen them. Now there is no result and the troops are withdrawing in such a desperate way... Tokyo can't explain it either!
In fact, Shinozuka Yoshio not only gave Okamura a difficult problem, but his words also had a more profound meaning: If he chooses not to fight now because he is afraid of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, how can he fight against the Eighth Route Army in the future?Is it that as long as the Eighth Route Army has artillery, it will not fight?If this continues, the empire will withdraw from China!

Yoshio Shinozuka threw a difficult problem to Neiji Okamura.

Okamura Neiji handed Kawata's telegram to Kono Shinta: "How can we explain that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army can accurately shoot shells into our artillery positions without test firing? Is this a coincidence?"

There is no other way.

Kono Shinta took the telegram and looked at it, then nodded slightly.

Only by blowing down the city wall or blowing up a gap in the chariot can the infantry be covered to rush into the gap, otherwise, no matter how many infantry go up, they will die.

No matter what, and regardless of whether the Eighth Route Army has such a secret weapon or not, we must face it bravely and come up with a solution!

He had to admit that Neiji Okamura's analysis was reasonable. If we look at the situation in Yanmen Pass and Zhangjiakou together, we can conclude that the Eighth Route Army probably has some kind of secret weapon, which can improve the accuracy of the Eighth Route Army's artillery.

Neiji Okamura asked instead: "Do you still remember that our missile was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army missile when it bombed Ningbei Railway Station?"

"Ningbei Railway Station!" Shinta Kono and Yoshio Shinozuka exclaimed in unison.

(Note: It is almost impossible to use ladders to siege cities in TV dramas in modern warfare. The people on the ladders are targets for the enemy to practice marksmanship)

Neiji Okamura is a fine person, so how could he not know that Yoshio Shinozuka's words meant something else.

Neiji Okamura said: "Before, I always thought that I didn't understand why the Eighth Route Army did not save the Yangyuan Passage with confidence, but now I understand! Their artillery can accurately suppress our artillery. This is where their confidence lies! No matter how much we invest The artillery is likely to be useless, it will only increase casualties!"

Siege warfare in modern warfare mainly relies on artillery, that is, artillery is used to blow back and forth into the city, or to blow up the city gates and walls, or to use artillery to cover the infantry and bury explosives near the city walls. If there is time and conditions , Just dig a tunnel from the ground to the city wall to bury explosives.

"Surround Datong, don't attack!" Then Okamura Ningji's fingers stretched back on the map, until it stopped at a point: "Change the battle plan, it is our strategic goal!"

"I thought it was like this before!" Neiji Okamura said, "But, the Yanmen Pass battle..."

Okamura Ningji gave a "hmm" and explained: "Although I'm not sure, but... if they can accurately intercept our military missiles with missiles, and can accurately bomb our artillery positions with artillery shells, isn't that right? Are they similar?"

Then Shinta Kono understood: "Your Majesty, what you mean is...the reason why the Eighth Route Army's artillery is so accurate is related to the Eighth Route Army's interception of missiles?"

"Your Excellency, General!" Shinozuka Yoshio hurriedly said, "Isn't that because our army's intelligence is wrong?"

He thought for a while and said, "Of course we want to fight, but... we can't fight according to the Eighth Route Army's idea!"

After a pause, Neiji Okamura pointed to Datong on the map and continued: "In addition, after the Eighth Route Army occupied Datong, it actively repaired the city wall and fortifications. Under this situation, if our artillery is suppressed by the Eighth Route Army and the tanks cannot approach... ...Do you think you can win by attacking Datong?"

"What do you mean?" Kono asked.

Kono asked in confusion: "Why Ningbei Railway Station?"

Neiji Okamura did not refute, he just asked: "Mr. Kono, do you still remember the strange thing that happened when the Eighth Route Army attacked Zhangjiakou? According to our information, when the Eighth Route Army attacked Zhangjiakou, Li Yunlong did not bring many artillery, at most ten A few cannons, but they can easily defeat an artillery unit of our army, and then wipe out the artillery unit in Zhangjiakou in an instant..."

Neiji Okamura's previous conclusion on this matter was that either the information was wrong or the Eighth Route Army had secretly expanded its artillery. That's why Yoshio Shinozuka said so.

Now, if artillery was destined to be suppressed by the Eighth Route Army, how could infantry and chariots cross the city walls and attack Datong?
Shinozuka Yoshio was still not reconciled, he said to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, should we just withdraw like this?"

Kono couldn't help being silent.

Okamura Ningji can say that he guessed right or wrong.

Said that he guessed right, the two are indeed related, and they are both developed on the basis of computers.

Said that he guessed wrong, these two kinds of equipment are actually different things, and the principles are also very different.

But from Okamura's point of view, they are both a mysterious power, an unimaginable equipment, an incomprehensible technology, so there must be a connection.
