Bright Sword Military System

But in fact, the Japanese Army can also be said to be well prepared.

Because the Japs have been preparing for landing operations on the front line of the Yalu River, especially in the exit area, they have assembled heavy troops, with two divisions and more than [-] people.

What's more coincidental is that the Japanese have prepared more than 50 wooden extra-large ships... wooden "extra-large ships" instead of "large ships".

It is different from the "Dafa" captured by the Eighth Route Army in that it has a larger tonnage, with a full load displacement of 34 tons.

These wooden extra-large guns were not originally used for landing operations. After all, they were made of wood and could not block bullets from the opposite side... The bolt-action rifles at this time used full-power bullets, and the wooden extra-large bullets contained The Japs were huddled together again, and one shot of bullets might take away two or three of them.

These wooden weapons were used by the Japanese to transport supplies, especially tanks.

At this time, the Japanese were already careful about using fuel, so they would not use fuel-consuming things like wooden trucks to transport supplies unless they had to.

But there is nothing the chariot can do...

The roads in northern North Korea are winding, and sometimes wind up and down the mountains. The straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters, but it may take several hours to walk.

If a chariot were allowed to drive through this traffic situation, not to mention the fuel consumption, the chariot's engine would also be almost completely worn out by the motorcycle time. Moreover, it would have to be repaired along the way, and it would be almost scrapped by the time it reaches the destination.

In contrast, it is much more economical to transport wooden tanks by sea. Not only does it take a shorter distance, it consumes less fuel, but it also saves the trouble of tank maintenance.

(Note: The wooden extra large truck can just carry a Type 97 Chinese tank)

The only disadvantage is that the wooden extra-large hair has poor sinking resistance. Once there are wind and waves, it is likely to roll over into the sea together with the chariot.

Therefore, Seishiro Sakagaki assembled more than fifty wooden extra-large boats, and when the weather conditions were good, they used wooden extra-large boats to carry the chariots section by section: the wooden super-large boats could travel at the longest economic speed of 9 knots. It takes 13 hours to sail, which is about 200 kilometers.

At this time, the wooden extra-large hair just happened to transport the tanks into the Yalu River, and Sakagaki Seishiro turned them all into landing craft without saying a word.

The topography of Donggang is quite special. The closest distance to the coast of Bangzi is only a dozen kilometers, and it is only 23 kilometers from the Jaap station. It only takes more than an hour to reach the wooden giant.

If this kind of wooden extra-large ship is used to carry people, it can carry 120 armed soldiers at a time. 57 ships means more than 6000 and nearly [-] soldiers, and then launch a mighty attack towards Donggang.

Wang Xuexin did not hesitate. He ordered with a dark face: "Order the Donggang garrison to take ammunition and food and retreat to the mountains to deal with the Japanese!"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong immediately conveyed the order.

The more it is at this time, the more decisive it is to make a decisive decision, because a moment's hesitation may cause the troops to be blocked by the Japanese and unable to withdraw.

Wang Xuexin thinks this way:
The Eighth Route Army stationed in Donggang is a new recruit, with only more than 6000 troops. They are not as good as the Japanese in terms of quality or strength... In fact, the military strength is far inferior to the Japanese. The Japanese's wooden extra-large can transport more than [-] people at a time, and there will be more in the future. Shipment of one batch.

What's more, the Japanese still have the fire support of the fleet, and these more than 5000 recruits cannot hold Donggang at all.

Since they can't hold it, they have to abandon their illusions to avoid meaningless casualties. There are mountains dozens of miles north of Donggang. Letting them go to the mountains to fight guerrillas can still contain the Japanese.Wang Xuexin issued this order very promptly.

Because the Japanese attack was already planned as an encirclement, their carrier-based aircraft did not bomb the forward positions but the roads and railways in the rear.

However, this may be due to the Japanese's misunderstanding of the Eighth Route Army. They thought that the Eighth Route Army relied on cars and trains for maneuvers, so they immediately bombed roads and railways to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using these means of transportation to retreat.

Wang Xuexin thought, if the Japanese Army was commanded by Seishiro Sakagaki, they would not have made this mistake: The commanders of the Japanese Combined Fleet have been enjoying a high standard of living on warships for many years. They do not know the sufferings of the world, let alone the vast majority of the Eighth Route Army. Most are maneuverable on two legs.

When Ozawa Jizaburo blew up the roads and railways, he caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese themselves... Soon after, Donggang was controlled by the Japanese, and the Japanese had to repair the bombed traffic as soon as possible.

In addition, the Japanese landing force was also divided into three parts: in the first part, only ten wooden extra-large ships landed from the front, while in the other two parts, more than twenty ships landed from the flanks.

Seishiro Sakagaki's idea was simple. He hoped to surround the Eighth Route Army in Donggang as soon as possible and annihilate them.

Itagaki Seishiro was a China expert. He served as an assistant to the military attaché stationed in China decades ago (1916), and later planned the September [-]th Incident. He also served as a political advisor to the "Puppet Manchukuo" government in Kanto. Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army.

Sakagaki Seishiro's long-term experience in dealing with China made it very clear that the Eighth Route Army has a very close connection with the local people. It can even be said that the people are the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Route Army is the people... At least in the eyes of the Japanese, they have a feeling that all the people are soldiers.

If the Eighth Route Army is not wiped out immediately, it will be very troublesome to find them and eliminate them later.

Therefore, Seishiro Sakagaki placed the main force on both wings without thinking, and contacted Jisaburo Ozawa to provide him with fire support.

After the war started, the ten wooden ships on the front were used to attract the attention and firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

What's more important is that the Eighth Route Army did not notice that the two wings were being outflanked. As long as they launched a frontal resistance, the main forces on the two wings would quickly penetrate the rear of the Eighth Route Army... In this way, the Eighth Route Army could be surrounded as soon as possible.

If Ozawa Jisaburo had not bombed the roads and railways, Sakagaki Seishiro's combat plan would probably have succeeded.

In addition to carrying a chariot, the wooden extra large car can also carry two cars or 13 horses.

In order to speed up the march of the flanking troops, Seishiro Sakagaki provided two cars for each flank. In addition, as soon as the Japanese entered Donggang, they immediately snatched away all civilian cars and horses they could see, including bicycles and trains.

The purpose of this is to catch up with the Eighth Route Army troops and stop them.

But all of this was declared bankrupt due to the bombing of the United Fleet... The bombers sent by Jisaburo Ozawa were very powerful. They bombed the road and its vicinity with craters everywhere. Even bicycles had to be carried on their backs, let alone car.

Of course, the train was unable to move forward. Just after leaving the city, it stopped helplessly in front of the broken rails.

This can be said to be the fault of Ozawa Jisaburo who acted too hastily. He and Sakagaki Seishiro did not have good communication and did not know the needs and attention points of land operations.

Fortunately, the Donggang garrison successfully withdrew from the encirclement.
