Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1606 Shipyard

Sasaki Shizue can say that he guessed right, or he can say that he didn't guess right.

He said that he guessed right because the Eighth Route Army did fight like this: the Eighth Route Army spent a few days occupying Tieling and Fushun to cut off the connection between Fengtian and the east. The mechanized troops took Panjin and Yingkou. As long as they continue to march eastward, they can complete the encirclement of Fengtian and trap the devils in it.

This is a bit like Hans' "pincer attack": soldiers bypass the enemy's heavily fortified city in two ways and attack its weak rear.

This is obviously correct in terms of strategy, because if the enemy wants to defend Fengtian, they will inevitably empty out the troops in the surrounding towns. For example, there is only one brigade left in Tieling, and there is even only one small team in Panjin and Yingkou... Devils will not dream Thinking that the Eighth Route Army would actually attack the coastline, they believed that the coastline was absolutely safe with the use of warships, so there were almost no troops stationed on the coastline.

This is what has been said all the time, "offensive is greater than defensive": the defensive side can never be sure where the enemy will attack, they have to defend everywhere but they can't, and the offensive side can attack the other side based on the actual situation and the information they have. weak point.

If the Eighth Route Army attacked Fengtian in a rigid manner at this time, it would be exactly what the devils wanted.

So of course it is impossible for Wang Xuexin to do this!

Saying that Sasaki Jingjiang guessed wrong is because Wang Xuexin's main goal is actually not the Fengtian that has been planned...

After easily capturing Yingkou, Li Yunlong just wanted to take advantage of the victory and continue to march eastward. Unexpectedly, Wang Xuexin issued an order: "Change the battle plan and attack south along the railway line!"

"What?" Li Yunlong couldn't help being stunned when he heard the plan: "Attack to the south? What's the trick? Is this Fengtian still going to fight? Little Dongbei, don't you know that changing the battle plan temporarily is a taboo for military strategists?"

But Li Yunlong looked down along the railway line on the map, and laughed "hehe": "Xiao Dongbei, this guy has a hand! We were all deceived by him!"

"Cheated by him?" Zhao Gang asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunlong replied with a smile: "We thought it was Fengtian, but we didn't expect someone else to be the one... The drunkard's intention is not to drink!"

Li Yunlong is right, Fengtian is just a cover to Wang Xuexin, a cover to deceive devils!
This matter was discussed with the chief and the chief of staff... Wang Xuexin's power is not strong enough to launch such a large-scale attack without going through the headquarters.

That was when it was decided to develop anti-ship missiles. Just when the headquarters thought that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng, Wang Xuexin secretly rushed to the headquarters to re-discuss the plan to attack Fengtian.

"Chief, I think our strategic intention to attack Fengtian is too obvious!" Wang Xuexin pointed to the map and said, "Once our troops leave Chifeng, it won't take long for our troops to reach the city of Fengtian. In addition, there are two opponents in Fengtian. It is a very important arsenal. It is conceivable that the devils will deploy heavy troops in Fengtian and its surroundings! If our army directly attacks Fengtian, even if we can take it down, we will have to pay heavy casualties. What's more, even if we can take Fengtian, it will be very difficult to hold it. !"

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" said the chief, "I think I have told you before that the significance of our battle is not to take down Fengtian and hold it, but to build up the confidence of the people of the whole country in the war of resistance and even force the recalcitrant army to take the initiative. Let's devote ourselves to the vigorous war of resistance! If this goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter whether we can defend Fengtian or not, and we don't need to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place!"

Wang Xuexin admitted that what the chief said was right.

Although the fighting power of the Eighth Route Army at this time is quite strong, and the fighting power of the devils is not as good as before due to long-term consumption, it is still unrealistic to drive the devils out of China by relying on the strength of the Eighth Route Army alone... The Kwantung Army stationed in the Northeast is enough for the Eighth Route Army. If it is not for Mao Xiong's cooperation and pressure from the outside, the Eighth Route Army's offensive will hardly have any effect.

Therefore, what the Eighth Route Army has to do is to use practical actions to call on the people of the whole country to fight the war, especially to force the stubborn troops who are passive in the war to "come out of the mountain" from the comfort zone in Chongqing to grab the military exploits... Although this is to grab the military exploits, it has no effect on the overall war of resistance. It is advantageous, and the Chief Executive would rather have this situation happen.

If this is the strategic goal, then why should Fengtian be defended?

Being able to win is a big victory and can play a calling role!
But Wang Xuexin didn't think so.

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin said, "What if we can knock it down and hold it?"

"Can you still hold it?" The chief cast a shocked look at Wang Xuexin.

The chief of staff couldn't believe what he heard. He said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin! The road has to be taken step by step, don't take too big a step! We can only use [-] troops to attack Fengtian, just like As you said, there will inevitably be casualties and losses after they are defeated. Once Mao Xiong no longer puts pressure on the devils and the devils come back to their senses, they will have six or seven times more troops than ours and are relatively elite Kwantung Army! The situation must be guarded... I'm afraid it's impossible!"

No wonder the chief of staff would say that, the previous plan of the headquarters never thought of being able to hold Fengtian, and immediately organize troops to go back to defend Chifeng after it is defeated, and if possible, some industries and people will be transferred to the west of Chifeng.

But now, Wang Xuexin is actually thinking about going out and not coming back!

How many troops and supplies are needed to achieve it?
This is simply a fantasy!
The chief didn't completely deny it, he was silent for a while, straightened his waist, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of appetite! Come on, if you have the ability to pour out, let's see if it's feasible!"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded, and then analyzed: "The gap between the total strength of the enemy and us is too great. It is indeed difficult to defend, but it is not impossible!"

As Wang Xuexin said, he half-bent down and pointed at the map and continued: "I think that if we want to achieve this goal, we must exchange the least cost for the greatest benefit. You should fight more and more!"

The chief nodded slightly.

It is the normal state of the Eighth Route Army to fight more and more troops, which is not surprising.

He only asked: "The question is, how can we exchange for the greatest benefit with the least cost?"

"Coastline!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Because of the existence of warships, the devils always thought that our army could not attack HLD, let alone attack along the coastline, so their defense on the coastline is very weak or even non-existent! In other words, That is, all coastlines are the enemy's weaknesses, and they can be easily captured in wartime, even including..."

Wang Xuexin pointed the pencil in his hand to a point on the map!
"Shipyard!?" The chief and chief of staff exclaimed at the same time.
