Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 795 Negotiations
Wang Xuexin went one stop before the map, and Chen Songyong immediately understood. He found the locations of Biyuan and Lingye airports on the map and marked them with thumbtacks... This is the most basic skill of a staff officer. If Wang Xuexin needs it, Chen Songyong can still consult the information Immediately give all the information known about these two airports.

Only in this way can the staff officer save time for the commander. There are many things that they don't even need the commander to order, they will consciously know what to do and prepare in advance.

Wang Xuexin looked at the locations of the two airports, and sure enough, as he had guessed before, the straight-line distance from Wanxian Airport was just over 300 kilometers.

More than 300 kilometers, which is just outside the combat radius of Hawker 81, no more, no less, just a little bit more.

Why this is so is obvious.

First of all, the devils can save fuel as much as possible, and they are as close as possible to Yuncheng.

Secondly, this also has the taste of tempting the Eighth Route Army... More than 300 kilometers, in fact, the Eighth Route Army can still fight, especially rocket fighters.

Rocket fighters are not the same as fighter jets. Rocket fighters are almost impossible to fight with the enemy, just fly to the destination, fire the rockets, and then fly back.

Therefore, it does not need to reserve "combat" fuel. Strictly speaking, the combat radius should be [-] kilometers.

The problem is that……

These fighter planes used for ground attack need air control protection, and if the Hawker 81 performs such a mission, that is, flying more than 300 kilometers away, it only needs to make a few laps with the "Zero Fighter" and the fuel will not be enough to fly back.

Should the Eighth Route Army fight or not?

Let's fight, basically there is no return.

Don't fight, the fat is in front of you, and you need some concentration to control it.

Moreover, the two airports are located on both sides of Wanxian Airport one above the other, forming a pincer attack, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Wang Xuexin... When Wang Xuexin attacks any enemy airport, his retreat is likely to be taken off by another airport." Zero War" cut off.

Therefore, the Devils can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Such an arrangement occupies a geographical advantage. Although the two airports only have two "Zero Battle" squadrons, they are powerful enough to overwhelm the momentum of hundreds of Hawker 81s at the county airport.

While Wang Xuexin was thinking about the map, Zhang Zongping took another telegram and reported: "Battalion Commander, just got the information, the devils are gathering heavy artillery troops in Nanjing, and they are likely to be transferred to the direction of Yuncheng!"

Zhang Zongping is a newly transferred staff officer, appointed by the chief from the staff of the headquarters, in order to be able to communicate with the headquarters more, faster, and more smoothly.

Of course this is just one of them.

Before Wang Xuexin left, the chief of staff also explained: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, Comrade Zhang Zongping has been working at the headquarters for three years, and he is very familiar with the commanders of various departments. If you need the coordination or support of other troops, Comrade Zhang Zongping can help It can save a lot of time by communicating with the headquarters first and then reporting! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Wang Xuexin responded.

Wang Xuexin did understand that Zhang Zongping had the power to kill first and then play, which made up for his lack of power as a "battalion commander"... This also shows that the headquarters attaches great importance to the defense of Yuncheng. They are worried that if the battle becomes an emergency What if Yuncheng needs reinforcements but cannot contact the headquarters?What if the radio is broken?Or what if the information is interrupted by enemy interference?
How will Wang Xuexin command and coordinate at that time?

We must know that the opportunity to fight is fleeting. Waiting for Wang Xuexin to send someone to the headquarters to ask for instructions and then go back to report and issue orders, I am afraid that the day lily will be cold.

This is also a helpless choice made by the Eighth Route Army's lack of advanced and comprehensive communication equipment.

Chen Songyong answered: "Battalion Commander, the devils are moving faster than we imagined!"

Wang Xuexin nodded. The devil had too much confidence in himself. He didn't take the recalcitrant army seriously at all. He thought that after taking Zhengzhou, the battle situation on the southern front of the Yellow River would be stabilized. Deploy the attack on Yuncheng.

There is a saying that "tactical victory cannot make up for strategic failure".

All the devils have done is to shift the attack point to Yuncheng in the strategic direction. Once their strategy fails, all these deployments will be disrupted and will lose their meaning...

For example, the battle on the southern line of the Yellow River cannot be stabilized, and the devils have no conditions to shift their strategic focus to Yuncheng, so can they still launch a war of attrition against Yuncheng?
Wang Xuexin asked: "How is the negotiation with the stubborn army going?"

"It's going very well!" Zhang Zongping replied: "The chief of staff talked about it in person. As predicted by the battalion commander, the stubborn army no longer has the same resistance and indifferent attitude towards cooperation as before!"

Of course, when there are benefits, the face of the stubborn army will change faster than anyone else. At this time, they need the Eighth Route Army to cooperate with them. If they refuse, will they be out of their minds?

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Okamura Ningji also noticed something was wrong at this time.

Okamura Ningji was originally confident.

Although after he took office, Tokyo was not even satisfied with his performance, especially after the loss of so many advanced fighters in the Kobayashikou World War I, even the navy expressed dissatisfaction with Okamura Ningji.

Yamamoto 56 commented on Kobayashikou's failure in this way: "This is the end of handing over the 'Zero War' to the army. When we used it to beat the crap out of Yingjiang, they actually lost to the Eighth Route Army?"

Although the factual situation is not as bad as Yamamoto said, and even the main opponent is not the Eighth Route Army but the eagle sauce pilots, Okamura Ningji still lost in the end, and he lost completely.

Therefore, when Neiji Okamura once again asked for a "zero battle" of a brigade to suppress the enemy, he was immediately reprimanded by Tokyo: "We can only assign you two squadrons at most! If you can't win again, go to Tokyo Come and explain to us!"

Only two squadrons!

Okamura Ningji looked solemn, but he still felt that there was no problem.

Because this time, his plan was not based primarily on aircraft, but on artillery.

Okamura Ningji stared at Yuncheng, and said to himself: "Let's fight to the death here, I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek with you!"

At this moment, Shinozuka Yoshio hurried forward with a telegram and reported: "Your Excellency, we have received information that the Eighth Route Army is negotiating with the recalcitrant army!"

"What?" Neiji Okamura looked at Yoshio Shinozuka in shock.

For a long time, his strategy in China has been to "pull one group to fight another group". Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not attack the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army at the same time. What he is worried about is the cooperation between the two armies.

But now...

Neiji Okamura's eyelids twitched, he had an ominous premonition that the plan might not go as smoothly as he imagined.
