Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1608 Golden State
The chief thought over and over again, and finally agreed to Wang Xuexin's battle plan.

This is mainly because the battle plan proposed by Wang Xuexin is indeed feasible... Prior to this, if the Eighth Route Army did not have anti-ship missiles, it would not have dared to think about it, and there was no need to think about it at all, and it was directly rejected.

But with anti-ship missiles, the devil's warship is no longer a threat, and its coastline is completely exposed to the Eighth Route Army's soldiers... This is a rare opportunity, if you don't seize it this time, there will be no next time.

The reason is that the devils at this time did not know that the Eighth Route Army had developed anti-ship missiles. They thought that there was no need to deploy defenses with the cover of warships on the coastline, so they exposed a huge loophole.

Now, if the Eighth Route Army uses anti-ship missiles and does not take advantage of this loophole, the devils will be prepared to fill this loophole next time.

On the other hand, the temptation to take back Dalian and Fengtian and hold them is too great:
Needless to say, the recovery of Dalian is equivalent to the Eighth Route Army encircling 10 Kwantung Army with 70 troops.

10 surrounded 70, and the quality of these 10 troops is generally low. On the other hand, most of the enemy's 70 are elite. Even so, it sounds unbelievable that they can encircle.

But in practice it is indeed possible.

The reason is that more than half of this encirclement was realized by Mao Xiong's more than 100 million Far Eastern Front Army. Wang Xuexin was just using them and then using 10 Eighth Route Army to "seal the mouth" at key positions.

As for Fengtian, if it can recover and hold on, it can form a complete line of defense from Chifeng to Fengtian and then to Dalian.

More importantly, before this, the ammunition supplies of the Eighth Route Army had to be transported from the Taiyuan Arsenal. If Fengtian, which has two arsenals, was captured, the problem of guns and ammunition could be solved on the spot, and the logistical pressure would undoubtedly be reduced a lot. Make full use of the production capacity of these two arsenals: the two arsenals will go all out to produce guns and ammunition, and use these guns and ammunition to arm millions of people in Fengtian, and soon a military force that cannot be underestimated will be formed!

Moreover, if this plan is successful, it will not be a "single fire" that starts a prairie fire, but a "dry fire" that will set off a rising wave of resistance throughout the country!

"This is drawing from the bottom of the pot!" The chief of staff said: "Although you may have to pay a high price if you lose, but if you win...then the backbone of the devil will be pumped out!"

The chief nodded, and then he clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Just hit like this! How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den? This time, let the devil beat you!"

So that's the plan.

Only Wang Xuexin and the headquarters knew about this plan, and everyone else thought it was to fight Fengtian.

In fact, the plan to fight Fengtian is also a secret that not many people know... There are too many secrets in this battle, and they are layered one after another.

On the surface, Wang Xuexin was preparing for the fight against Fengtian, but in fact he was preparing for the fight against Dalian.

It's just that others can't see it without handling it:
If you're just fighting Fengtian, then there's no need to force missiles to the front line. This thing is more suitable for long-range strikes, and cannons for siege warfare are fine.

But to fight Dalian, a large number of missiles are necessary, and these missiles must be converted into anti-ship missiles.

At the same time, every time the Eighth Route Army advanced, engineers and soldiers organized civilians to repair the railway, and the captured locomotives and carriages were all protected from being blown up by the devils.

What is more important is the instigation of the intelligence personnel within the puppet army and the mobilization of the people: if Fengtian is the main attack, the main instigation and mobilization is in Fengtian, but now to attack Dalian, the focus should be on Dalian.

However, Wang Xuexin does not need to worry about being directed by the headquarters in this regard.

On Li Yunlong's side, after receiving the order, he and the new second regiment rushed towards Dalian non-stop.

Yingkou is only more than 200 kilometers away from Dalian, and if it is forced to march, it may arrive in two days.

The actual speed is much faster than this. The Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment cooperated with each other and advanced more than 100 kilometers in just half a day... This is not representative. The main reason is that the devils have too few troops in the coastal areas. In some places, there are three or five devils with a company of puppet troops. There is no need to fight in these places. Most of the puppet troops surrendered with the heads of the devils, or the intelligence personnel instigated them early in the morning, and the Eighth Route Army has not yet caught up. When they arrived, they sent correspondents to contact the Eighth Route Army.

There are still a few places that are still struggling. At this time, Li Yunlong will leave one or two "Shermans" and add a company of half-track vehicles to attack... The reason why the "Shermans" are kept is because they run fast and hit the ground. Immediately after that, go after the big army.

As for T44 and T34, Li Yunlong didn't bring them at all, he left them all in Yingkou.

Li Yunlong said this: "T34 and T44 are used to deal with the Devil's 'Tiger Type'. Does Dalian have a 'Tiger Type'? Will the Devils have warships there and deploy 'Tiger Type' along the coast? If there is no us What are you doing with them? You don’t think it’s enough trouble to repair all the way?”

Li Yunlong can be said to be a rare sobriety in the world.

Usually, after receiving the order, the troops can't wait to bring all the equipment to the enemy to crush them, so that they can fight happily!

But Li Yunlong knew that the best equipment is the right equipment. T34 and T44 are suitable for fighting Fengtian and not for long-distance raids, so it is "Sherman" to fight Dalian.

Fighting all the way like this, it was not until Jinzhou that they encountered decent resistance from the devils.

Jinzhou is the throat of Lushun and Dalian Peninsula. This peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides and only a small area in the north is connected to the Chinese mainland. This small area is Jinzhou. Its narrowest point is only 7 kilometers, which is equivalent to the gateway of Dalian and Lushun.

There were no devils stationed here, because the devils have never worried about the safety here: the narrowest point is only 7 kilometers, but the longest range of the warship guns is 20 kilometers. This throat is blocked and can guarantee that Dalian and Lushun will not be attacked by the enemy.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a waste to deploy troops here?

Not only are there not many devils in Jinzhou, but there are not many devils stationed in Dalian and Lushun. In these two places, there is only one brigade with more than a thousand devils in the regular army, and there are also three puppet barracks.

It's just because there is a large shipyard and Lushun Port here, and these two places are still very important, so many disabled Japanese soldiers are arranged to manage them here, and there are also many Japanese "pioneering groups" doing business and living in this area.

As soon as Sasaki Jingjiang heard that the mechanized units of the Eighth Route Army were going all the way south, he hurriedly armed all the disabled soldiers and the "pioneering regiment" and hurriedly organized a line of defense in Jinzhou.
