Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1740

The Fengman Hydropower Station is a large project built by the devils on the Songhua River. It has been under construction for 1937 years since 7. It started generating electricity last year, but there are still 20% of the civil engineering projects that have not been completed and several have been completed. The generator set that arrived but has not had time to install.

The devils forcibly recruited more than [-] Chinese laborers for this project. These laborers worked more than ten hours a day. Once they got sick or were physically weak, they would be "eliminated" by the devils. kilometers of mass graves.

So many laborers have worked for 7 years, which also shows the scale of Fengman Hydropower Station.

Its power generation capacity at this time has reached 30 kilowatts, and it is already the hydropower station with the largest power generation capacity in Asia. Its power not only supplies Xinjing, but is also the source of most of the Northeast.

(Note: When the Devils surrendered, there were only 2 large units and 2 small units left when Huaxia took over, with a total power generation of 14.3 kilowatts)
This means that winning the Fengman Hydropower Station not only controls the energy of Xinjing, but also the energy of the entire Northeast.

But Wang Xuexin did not dare to act rashly.

The reason is that according to intelligence, the devils have installed explosives on the dam of the Fengman Hydropower Station. If the situation is not right, they will blow up the dam and flood the downstream to block the Eighth Route Army's offensive momentum, just like the stubborn army blew up the Huayuankou Dam.

However, Wang Xuexin believes that the devils are still hesitating at this time. After all, the devils have been operating the Fengman Hydropower Station for so many years and have only just been put into use for one year.

Wang Xuexin's guess is right, Umezu Yoshijiro is in various entanglements at this time.

Fry it, years of "hard work" will go to waste in a blink of an eye, and the Kwantung Army will lose its power source and be unable to produce.

If you don't blow it up, you can only watch the Eighth Route Army go north, especially if the Fengman Hydropower Station falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will be intolerable.

However, Umezu Yoshijiro still prefers not to fry.

"This is a question of our army's future war situation!" Umezu Yoshijiro analyzed to Tokyo in this way: "If I believe that the Eighth Route Army can be repelled in the future, then it should not be bombed, even if it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it should not be bombed! Otherwise, it should not be bombed. It must be fried!"

Tokyo also agreed with Umezu Yoshijiro's words.

If the Kwantung Army can defeat the Eighth Route Army in the future, what if the hydropower station falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army?The imperial army will still be able to take it back from the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Will the Eighth Route Army blow up the hydropower station?
This is unlikely, because once the dam blows up, the Jilin and HLJ areas downstream will be flooded and tens of millions of people will be affected. This is not only a loss for China itself, but also a serious blow to the reputation of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, as long as the imperial army can win strategically, the Fengman hydropower station should not be bombed, and it will return to the imperial army's control sooner or later.

Conversely, if you think that the Kwantung Army cannot repel the Eighth Route Army and can only withdraw from "Manchukuo" regrettably, it should be blown up immediately instead of leaving it to the Eighth Route Army.

Soon, Tokyo sent a telegram to Umezu Yoshijiro asking: "Isn't this a question to you? Do you think you can defeat the Eighth Route Army in the end!"

Umezu Yoshijiro thought for a while, and then replied: "If the combined fleet can win and provide reinforcements for 'Manchukuo', then our army will surely win. Otherwise, victory or defeat is unknown!"

What Umezu Yoshijiro said was more objective.

If the United Fleet can withdraw from the direction of Yingjiang and attack Dalian and even open up the channel for the North China Front Army to reinforce the Kwantung Army, then the battle situation will be completely reversed.

But if not, the Kwantung Army can only rely on existing resources and troops to support it, and the battle situation will not be optimistic.

After a while, Tokyo responded: "This matter depends on your situation!"

Umezu Yoshijiro looked at the telegram and couldn't help cursing inwardly: "These cunning foxes!"

To blow up or not to blow up is a matter of great importance.

If the Kwantung Army wins but the hydropower station is bombed, or if the Kwantung Army loses and the hydropower station is not bombed...these are all culpable crimes and will have long-term consequences.

Tokyo is a smart guy, they don't want to take this responsibility and kick the ball to Yoshijiro Umezu.

Therefore, Yoshijiro Umezu failed to find out the answer in the end.

Wang Xuexin on the other side guessed the devil's psychology, so he was secretly worried.

The reason why Wang Xuexin is anxious is because if the devil bombs the hydropower station, what he will see in the end is the result of the naval battle with Yingjiang in the Philippines.

And this naval battle was the Battle of Wright Gulf.

Wang Xuexin knew that this ended with the fiasco of the devils.

Does that mean that the devils would choose to blow up the hydropower station after learning the result of the Wright Gulf naval battle?
If this is the result, then the Eighth Route Army will take down the hydropower station before the outcome of the Wright Gulf naval battle.

Or, the Eighth Route Army's attack will be slowed down first, so that the devils think that they have the possibility of defeating the Eighth Route Army?

While Wang Xuexin was frowning and thinking about this issue, Zhang Zongping took a telegram and reported: "Regimental Commander, according to the information from the shipyard, the deck of the aircraft carrier has been laid, and we plan to conduct deck take-off and landing training tomorrow!"

Wang Xuexin let out a "huh".

Although this is good news, it is insignificant compared with the problem of Fengman Hydropower Station.

At this time, a communications soldier shouted: "Regimental Commander, the devil and Yingjiang are on fire in Wright Bay!"

"How's the situation?" Wang Xuexin asked immediately.

"I don't know yet!" The communications soldier replied: "I only know that Yingjiang found the devil's main fleet and launched a pursuit!"

Wang Xuexin was a little surprised.

The Wright Gulf naval battle was also fought in this way in history. The devils used several aircraft carriers to lure Yingjiang's main fleet to pursue them, and the devils' main fleet consisted of 5 battleships, 10 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 15 destroyers. The lightning speed broke into Yingjiang's landing fleet, which only had an escorting aircraft carrier and a small number of destroyers...

It is conceivable that the battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers of the Devils will be able to give full play to the advantages of giant ships with cannons, causing heavy casualties to the Yingjiang landing fleet, including the escorting aircraft carrier.

Wang Xuexin originally thought that after both armies were equipped with anti-ship missiles, the devils would formulate a different battle plan. Unexpectedly, the equipment changed but the battle plan did not change.

This battle of the Eagle Sauce Navy was commanded by Halsey, who is known as a brute. He was indeed deceived and sent the main fleet to chase the Devils aircraft carrier.

However, in the end, the devil's battle was unsuccessful. Later, many people believed that the devil mistook the Yingjiang escort aircraft carrier for the main aircraft carrier and did not pursue it.

Wang Xuexin thought, if the devils were equipped with "human manipulation" anti-ship missiles, would they be able to sink the Yingjiang escort aircraft carrier without chasing them?

If the devils had the upper hand in the Wright Gulf naval battle, does that mean that the devils have absolutely no need to blow up the Fengman Hydropower Station?
