Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1800 Mountain War

Wang Xuexin's requests were agreed and supported by Yingjiang without much effort. In order to save time, Yingjiang even said that he would soon send a geological expedition team to China for on-the-spot investigation.

Yingjiang has his own reason for being so anxious. The sooner Wang Xuexin's plan succeeds, the main force of the Japanese will be transferred to China one day earlier. This is what Yingjiang wishes for.

Wang Xuexin estimated that the admirals would cheer in their hearts: "The Eighth Route Army is still reliable, unlike the stubborn army, which was given so many weapons and equipment and assistance, but didn't even dare to fart when facing the Japanese!"

Wang Xuexin is not worried at all about Yingjiang, the scientific expedition team.

First of all, it is difficult to find oil fields in China based on their level and current instruments.

Secondly, they themselves knew very well that they were just putting on a show for the Japanese, they just turned around and then went back, and then started to promote their theories.

Wang Xuexin would also be convinced if oil could still be found in this situation, not to mention that Wang Xuexin also knew where the oil in the Northeast was, so he would just send them to the oil-free area.

Wang Xuexin's first step here was to build two military airports in Xinjing.

Xinjing originally had a large airport called Xinjing Airport. This airport covers an area of ​​300 million square meters. The runway is 1565 meters long and 145 meters wide. There are also several auxiliary runways 800 meters long and 80 meters wide. It is very suitable for use as a military airport. .

But Wang Xuexin believes that the Japanese are too familiar with this airport. They know the geographical location, fuel depot, ammunition depot, and even the thickness of the protection. Once it is targeted by the Japanese bombing during wartime, it is likely to be paralyzed.

Therefore, another small military airport was opened.

In this way, when Xinjing Airport is bombed and unable to land, the small airport can become a safe haven or play a role in air control.

Needless to say, why we need to operate the airport is to control the Japanese supply blockade on the main force of the Kwantung Army located in HLJ Province at this time.

To put it simply, it is a bombing of Mudanjiang railway and highway transportation.

The straight-line distance between Mudanjiang and Xinjing is only more than 200 and nearly 5 kilometers, which is within the combat radius of the Eighth Route Army's "La [-]".

In fact, the Eighth Route Army does not need to consider the combat radius of "Pull 5".

Because the speed of the "Mosquito" bomber currently exceeds the speed of the Japanese fighters, using it to bomb the Japanese traffic lines does not require fighter escort.

This is one of the reasons why Wang Xuexin likes the "mosquito style".

Regarding the intensity of the bombing, Wang Xuexin told two staff officers:
"Our strategic goal is to consume the effective strength of the main force of the Kwantung Army and ultimately render it unable to carry out a massacre under our army's rapid attack!"

"To achieve this goal, the materials and military forces that blockade Bangzi must be delivered to the Kwantung Army through Mudanjiang!"

"Otherwise, the Kwantung Army will be depleted here and replenished there, and our army will never be able to achieve its goal!"

"Therefore, the Mudanjiang pass is only allowed to go out but not in!"

Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping stood up and responded: "Yes!"

The second thing Wang Xuexin did was to send a staff officer to Fengtian to take over Yingjiang's exploration team.

This acceptance is not an ordinary acceptance, but a direct information blockade... This is Yingjiang's consent, and we are not welcome.

All radio stations were confiscated, and unless they were exploration equipment, all items brought from Yingjiang were kept in the warehouse, even clothes.Wang Xuexin told them that the Northeast is still a battlefield, and it is inevitable to encounter Japanese snipers during field exploration. Dressing in the same uniform as the Eighth Route Army will not easily become the target of the enemy.

After all these were prepared, Wang Xuexin ordered the troops to advance north.

Five kilometers north of Xinjing is the Japanese defense line, but because it is a plain, these so-called "defensive lines" of the Japanese are not enough in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army.

With the support of artillery detection radar, the artillery, tanks and half-track vehicles advanced more than [-] kilometers north to Dehui City in just one week.

However, something unexpected happened at this time. Zhang Zongping took a telegram from the headquarters and reported: "Captain, we have received intelligence that the Japs have increased their troops in the direction of Chifeng, and it seems that a large number of new fighter planes have entered Chengde!"

"New fighter plane?" Wang Xuexin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and then he immediately understood what was going on.

At this time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was already semi-encircled by the Eighth Route Army and it was very difficult to transport supplies. Therefore, it was meaningless to reinforce the Kwantung Army with equipment such as fighter planes and tanks.

Not only does it have to go a long way around a big detour from Bangzi, but it also has to survive layers of interceptions by the Eighth Route Army's air power. In the end, it is likely that only one out of ten will be delivered to the Kwantung Army at a huge cost.

If this is the case, then why not replenish the equipment to the North China Front Army in the other direction and let it become the main force in attacking the Eighth Route Army?

Things were exactly as Wang Xuexin thought.

This combat plan was proposed by Naosaburo Okabe.

Ever since the Eighth Route Army marched into the Northeast, Naosaburo Okabe and his North China Front army have been left alone. He tried to break through the Chifeng defense line of the Eighth Route Army several times but failed due to various reasons. He finally gave a suggestion to interfere with the equipment but failed. Used as a trap by the Eighth Route Army to set up a trap for the Imperial Navy.

This made Naosaburo Okabe furious, but he was unable to make a move against the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

It wasn't until the Kwantung Army's counterattack failed and Xinjing was lost that Naosaburo Okabe thought his chance to come forward had arrived.

So he called Tokyo overnight and elaborated on the advantages of launching a counterattack with the North China Front as the main force.

[-]: The offensive line of the North China Front is close to Chifeng, an important strategic location of the Eighth Route Army. The closest point is only [-] kilometers. As long as a few lines of defense are broken through, Chifeng can be taken to block the east and west passages of the Eighth Route Army.

Two: The North China Front is close to Southeast Asia and maritime traffic has not been affected for the time being. Fuel can still be transported from Southeast Asia to the Front.

Three: The North China Front Army has rich combat experience, and many of them have entered the mountainous areas to fight guerrilla warfare with the Eighth Route Army, and can enter the mountainous areas to fight.

The third point is particularly attractive.

Naosaburo Okabe analyzed to Tokyo:

The fundamental reason why our army cannot break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line is that the Eighth Route Army has air superiority and missiles, which prevents our combined fleet from cooperating with the army in attacking. At the same time, the army's offensive in the plain areas will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire.

However, it would be different if our army sent mountain troops to detour from the mountainous area to the side of the Eighth Route Army's defense line, and then cooperated with the frontal troops to attack.

The Eighth Route Army's air superiority and missiles are difficult to use in mountainous areas, so the disadvantages of our army in mountain warfare can be turned into advantages!
Tokyo was currently having a headache on how to solve the Kwantung Army's problem. When Okabe Naosaburo said this, his confidence doubled, and he immediately sent troops to reinforce and even transferred new fighter jets to the North China Front Army.
