Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1601 Timing
The reason why Wang Xuexin didn't attack the Devil's warship in advance was because he thought the time was not yet ripe.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army is still more than [-] kilometers away from the devil's defense line, and there is still a day's journey. If the devil's warship is blown up at this time, the devil will immediately change the deployment of troops and even call in new reinforcements while being shocked. Will the Eighth Route Army have to pay a higher price if they want to win HLD?

Therefore, Wang Xuexin planned to act at the last moment, so as to give the devil the greatest threat, and at the same time, the devil would not have enough time to respond.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin even asked the Eighth Route Army to slow down the marching speed... The devil's internal forces were very empty, especially in the direction of HLD, and there were almost no obstacles along the way.

It's not that the devils don't want to intercept them, but the terrain in the Northeast is flat. The army attacking the HLD was led by a mechanized unit called Xinyi Regiment. It was a "Sherman" tank and a half-track car. Another meaning of the devils' interception on the road is Being "broken individually".

Therefore, the devils have been shrinking the line of defense and concentrating their forces on the HLD to build a line of defense.

Obviously, the devils hope to use the naval guns of warships to deal with the tanks and half-track vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, and then the infantry will defend the organization under the cover of naval guns... In this way, the strength of the Eighth Route Army will be more than twice that of the Imperial Army. It is also difficult to take down HLD.

The consequence of the devils shrinking the line of defense was that the Eighth Route Army marched at great speed. If it wasn't for clearing landmines, building roads and building bridges to prepare for the follow-up supply transportation, advancing [-] kilometers a day would be trivial.

Wang Xuexin ordered the troops to stop for one night on purpose, camped and rested at a position [-] kilometers away from HLD, and then launched an attack the next day.

At this time, Chen Songyong couldn't understand even more.

He asked Wang Xuexin: "Commander, I understand that we didn't attack the devil warships before, but now we have launched an attack on the devils and don't fight. Do we have to wait until the devil warships explode?"

Wang Xuexin pointed to the map and said, "Chen Staff Officer, look at the devil's line of defense. It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Do you understand what this means?"

Chen Songyong stared at the map for a while, and the devil's defense line was indeed as Wang Xuexin said, the outer layer was loose and loose, with a section of trenches here and several bunkers there, while the inner trenches were connected together.

After a little thought, Chen Songyong understood: "The devils mean that we want our troops to be denser?"

Wang Xuexin nodded and said, "I think this may be related to the lack of ammunition for the Devils' warships. After all, they are here for repairs. At the same time, there is no military factory that produces naval guns and shells in the Northeast. They just supply a small amount of ammunition shipped from the island. They came here in a hurry. Because they didn't have enough shells, they could only use this method, that is, use the outer defense line to attract our army to attack. fire..."

Chen Songyong nodded and said, "So, we can take advantage of this and prepare for the attack while attacking the outer layer, and then suddenly use the missile when we are ready!"

Wang Xuexin let out a "huh".

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, and anti-ship missiles are such a piece of "good steel".

On the other side, Naozaburo Okabe was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He kept sending telegrams to Toshio Naoi:

"The Eighth Route Army has arrived outside the city, please prepare for air defense!"

"The Eighth Route Army is likely to send fighter planes to bomb warships!"

"I found the fighter plane used by the Eighth Route Army for reconnaissance!"

……

In fact, Naozaburo Okabe guessed wrong. It was not a fighter plane used by the Eighth Route Army for reconnaissance, but a fighter plane used by the Eighth Route Army to operate TV guidance to destroy warships.

Naoi Toshio didn't take Okabe Naozaburo's warning seriously. He thought it was just Okabe Naozaburo's overreaction.

Toshio Naoi said to the staff officer: "I heard that the fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army are Maoxiong's 'La 5'? Is that wooden fighter plane also capable of bombing our warships? I want to try it!"

Just at this time, the Eighth Route Army was ready.

Following Wang Xuexin's order, the first batch of [-] anti-ship missiles flew into the sky with howling noises and then went straight to the direction of the Devil's warship.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army air force and artillery bombed HLD again.

The air force in the air has twenty "La 5" fighters equipped with rockets, and ten "mosquito" fighters, and the artillery is aimed at the devil's fortifications.

On the surface, this bombing seemed to be a prelude to launching a general offensive, but in fact it interfered with the devil's sight and distracted the devil's warship.

The reason for interfering with the devil's line of sight is that the anti-ship missile needs to pass through the devil's infantry line of defense, and the devil may also use anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the missile.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to use the smoke of rockets and shells to make the devils unable to take into account the missiles flying through the air.

Distracting the attention of the Devil's warship is to make the Devil prepare for providing firepower for the infantry instead of fully defending the air... Wang Xuexin knows that the anti-aircraft firepower on the Devil's warship is very important. It is an anti-aircraft gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun. Hedgehog-like.

If it's something ordinary, then use missiles to blow it up. I'm afraid that at least half of the ten missiles will be intercepted. After deducting the missed ones, maybe only two or three can hit the enemy warship. The damage caused by this may not be enough. to fatal.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that at least the Devil's warship must be misjudged.

Sure enough, Toshio Naoi immediately became excited when he saw the loud gunfire on the shore. He picked up the binoculars and looked at the smoke on the shore, and then ordered: "Order all naval guns, get ready to fire!"

"Yes, launch preparation!"

"Launch ready!"

……

At this time, Toshio Naoi was also a little strange: It is said that the Eighth Route Army would not be so stupid, knowing that there were two warships parked at sea and pointing their guns at them, yet they dared to attack with all their strength?
Is it really like what Naozaburo Okabe said, do they have any way to deal with warships?
But this idea was quickly overturned by Toshio Naoi: Impossible, they are the Eighth Route Army, even Yingjiang doesn’t have such equipment that can destroy warships quietly, how could the Eighth Route Army have it?

At this moment, Toshio Naoi noticed a few small black spots rushing out of the black smoke on the shore.

At first, Toshio Naoi thought it was a fighter plane of the Eighth Route Army bombing HLD, but as those small black spots flew to the sea surface without slowing down at all, he felt something was wrong.

Toshio Naoi raised his binoculars and saw that there were more than a dozen objects in the aperture that he had never seen before. They looked like torpedoes, but they were flying in the air, and the speed was quite fast!
Toshio Naoi couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare for air defense, enemy fighter planes have been spotted!"

Toshio Naoi didn't know how to describe the coming crisis, he could only say it was a "fighter opportunity"!
