Chapter 1657 Strategic Passive
Wang Xuexin found the coordinates reported by the coastal defense regiment on the nautical chart, and then checked the time, and soon understood.

"The devil's goal is not the port!" Wang Xuexin said.

Chen Songyong was confused when he heard this. The devil's goal was never the port. Isn't it using the coastal defense regiment to lure the devil here?

However, Chen Songyong still understood the meaning of Wang Xuexin's words. He asked, "What does the commander mean, that the devils chasing the coastal defense regiment are just for show?"

Wang Xuexin nodded and said, "It will be dark in two hours. After dark, the two fleets will not know each other's positions, right?"

This is due to the backwardness of reconnaissance equipment during World War II:
Seaplanes cannot fly at night, because it is easy to plunge into the sea without knowing it, and it is also difficult to spot enemy warships in the dark, so it is not worth the risk of reconnaissance in the air.

Then there is no early warning aircraft, and the radar is not powerful enough to detect fleet targets from a long distance in the air, so it is basically blind at night.

At this time, the enemy and our armies are usually in a state of cautiously avoiding battle.

The coastal defense regiment of the Eighth Route Army has long-range equipment such as anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles, so night battles are not suitable for them.

Devils do have the upper hand in night battles.

Because at the speed of the devil battleship, there is almost no possibility of approaching the coastal defense regiment during the day, and it is not a problem to know the opponent's position and approach the target at night.

In addition, the devil's naval guns are much stronger than those of the coastal defense regiment, and the armor of the battleship is also thicker and more resistant to attack than the warships of the coastal defense regiment.

However, the devil also does not want to fight in close combat at night.

The reason is that melee combat at night is limited by visibility and usually occurs within a few kilometers or even a kilometer. At this time, the accuracy of torpedoes is very high. Small destroyers may also cause great damage to battleships. More importantly, various warships It is impossible to identify who is who is who is mixed together, especially a cruiser used by the Eighth Route Army is the "Natori" captured from the devil.

Therefore, if this is a fight, no one will be sure, and Toshihei Inoguchi will not want to take the risk.

Then Chen Songyong understood what Wang Xuexin meant.

"The commander means..." Chen Songyong stared at the route map, and said thoughtfully: "Will the devil break away from contact with the coastal defense regiment after it gets dark, and then turn to other targets?"

Wang Xuexin gave a "hmm" and said: "It is only a little over 100 nautical miles from the current position to Dalian Bay. If the devil fleet sails at a speed of 20 knots, it will only take more than five hours. That means they can arrive before dawn." When we arrive at Dalian Bay, we can cooperate with the devils in attacking the Jinzhou defense line in the north and bomb the shipyard in the south, and at the same time, the devils' fighter planes can easily provide them with cover..."

In other words, although the coastal defense regiment won the battle against the Devils fleet this time, it actually failed in terms of strategic direction. The Devils have seen through Wang Xuexin's intentions and are ready to shift their offensive targets to the shipyard and the Jinzhou defense line. .

Fortunately, Wang Xuexin saw through the devil's thoughts, and it was too late to make up for it.

Chen Songyong immediately jumped up and said: "Commander, we will immediately transfer the anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles to the direction of Dalian Bay!"

But at this time Wang Xuexin was silent.

Chen Songyong couldn't help but wonder: "Commander, what are you waiting for? Don't be in a hurry if you're late!"

This is indeed true. Although the port is only [-] to [-] kilometers away from the Dalian Shipyard and the Jinzhou defense line, the transportation of anti-ship missiles and air defense systems cannot be carried out quickly, because it not only needs transportation time but also deploys them after arriving at the destination. And debugging and preparing for the launch, five or six hours is still tight, and it should be arranged in advance.

Wang Xuexin thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, the enemy is a fleet, and they are the attackers. Their advantage is that they can change the attack target at any time through their maneuverability. If we urgently transfer countermeasures to the Jinzhou Defense Line and the Dalian Shipyard Ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, does it mean that the defense of the port is vulnerable? What if the devils attack the port instead?"

Chen Songyong was right when he thought about it. This is the "truth and truth" in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Although the devils of this era look down on Chinese culture, they are all familiar with Chinese military books. Of course they know how to play this trick.

At this time, Chen Songyong was in trouble: "But the leader, we have to guard against one place, right?"

After hesitating for a while, Chen Songyong said: "If I had to choose, I would choose to defend Dalian Bay! Because as long as the missiles are placed there, two positions can be defended. Both the shipyard and the Jinzhou defense line can be taken care of. Although the port is important , but even if the devils want to blow up so many supplies, they won't be able to blow them up for a while!"

Wang Xuexin had to admit that what Chen Songyong said had some truth.

If you can't decide by yourself, from the perspective of probability, you should also guard against two key points at the same time instead of one of them.

What's more, the defense of Dalian by the Golden State defense line is deeply painful... Once the Golden State defense line cannot be defended, the devils will drive into the peninsula and occupy all the shipyards and ports.

Therefore, the Golden State defense is the foundation of all of this, and of course it must focus on defense.

But doesn't the port matter?

The materials at the port are related to the overall situation of the Northeast War. The existence of these materials can arm the rebellious Northeast people to ensure their combat effectiveness. Without these, the victory of the Eighth Route Army in the general direction of the Northeast Campaign cannot be guaranteed.

Wang Xuexin thought about it for a while, and then asked back: "Chen staff officer, not long after Dalian was recovered, there are devil spies everywhere, and there are many radio stations that have not been discovered. Devil spies can use these stations to inform the devil of our movements in due course. You don't know these things!"

"Of course!" Chen Songyong said, "But we can keep the transportation secret, or block it along the way!"

Wang Xuexin did not refute, and Chen Songyong himself felt that this method was not appropriate.

Because anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles are not small things, especially anti-ship missiles. Whether it is transported by rail, it is difficult to keep it secret.

In fact, as long as the devils and spies saw large-scale equipment being transported from the Eighth Route Army's missile base to Dalian Bay, they would be able to guess it all, and they didn't need to see it with their own eyes.

Therefore, the real difficulty lies ahead:
With luck, the devil fleet is likely to turn to attack the port.

Unlucky, the devil fleet will attack the shipyard and the Golden State defense line.

The choice is in the hands of the Devil Fleet on the offensive side, and the Eighth Route Army on the defensive side will fall into a passive position.

however……

Wang Xuexin calmly said to Chen Songyong: "We may not be passive! Just follow your ideas and transport the missiles to Dalian Bay!"
