Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 953 Interspersed
"Your Excellency!" Kono Mata replied respectfully, "May I ask a question?"

"Kono-kun, please tell me!" Neiji Okamura pretended to be generous and said, "You and I hit it off right away, so you don't have to be too polite!"

Kono Shinta said: "If, Your Excellency General seizes the air supremacy, what do you plan to do next?"

"After that..." Neiji Okamura thought for a while, and said, "If we have air dominance, our army can take Yuncheng. Once Yuncheng is lost, the Eighth Route Army will lose its foundation for development!"

Kono Shinta asked again: "And then?"

Only then did Neiji Okamura react. He thought about it for a while before slowly nodding his head and said: "Kono-kun is right, to seize the air supremacy, we can at best take back Yuncheng and limit the development speed of the Eighth Route Army, and we can't even eliminate it." The Air Force of the Eighth Route Army...we have been wasting our troops needlessly!"

Okamura Ningji's words are what Kono really wanted to say.

The Eighth Route Army has been fighting guerrilla warfare with the imperial army from beginning to end, that is to say, the main body is ground troops.

The appearance of the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army was just an accident, not the director of the Eighth Route Army.

In more detail, there are many shortcomings in the Eighth Route Army Air Force that make it difficult to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Imperial Air Force.

For example, the combat radius of the "Hawker 81", another example is the lack of bombers and reconnaissance aircraft in the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army does not have radar yet.

Although these may seem inconspicuous, each of them can be fatal in actual combat.

For example, the combat radius of the "Hawk 81" is insufficient, so the imperial army can firmly defend the 1-kilometer defense line outside the airport. As long as the Eighth Route Army Air Force dares to enter this range to fight, it will basically kill itself, even if it has X[-].

Another example is that the Eighth Route Army lacks the coordination of bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.

Not having reconnaissance planes is not bad, the Eighth Route Army can use intelligence personnel instead, at most, the intelligence lags behind or is not so comprehensive, it has an impact but not much.

The lack of bombers is a big problem... Even if the Eighth Route Army has comprehensive air supremacy, if there are no bombers, can it just use fighter machine guns to shoot at the target?
What if you want to blow up a bridge or a warehouse?
It is true that the Eighth Route Army can replace bombers with fighter planes that are equipped with sprayed bombs.

But if it is equipped with jet bombs, it will definitely not be the opponent of "Zero War". Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has only more than [-] fighters in total. Once there is one with jet bombs installed as a bomber, there will be fewer fighters equipped with X[-] for air combat. one.

Therefore, Kono Shinta came to the conclusion: "Your Excellency, I believe that the current situation of the Eighth Route Army Air Force is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack. In the final analysis, it is Eagle Sauce who used the Eighth Route Army to disperse the 'zero war' of the empire to alleviate the war in the Pacific battlefield. Since this is the case, if our army blindly competes with the Eighth Route Army for air supremacy, won’t it fall into a trap set by the enemy?”

These words made Okamura Ningji feel ashamed for a while.

Because Kono Shinta said these are strategic issues, and Neiji Okamura thought he was an excellent strategist, but he didn't expect to make this mistake.

However, this is not actually a mistake.

Because air supremacy is also very important strategically, Okamura Ningji has always been entangled in that once the air supremacy is lost, it may shake the foundation of the empire in China, including the control of the puppet army.

However, from the perspective of attacking the Eighth Route Army, Kono Shinta is right. If he entangles with the Eighth Route Army in the air supremacy, he will only fall into an endless black hole and cannot get out.

The reason is……

One: The fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army were either hidden in tunnels or in underground fortifications. Even if the empire regained air supremacy, it would not be able to kill the Eighth Route Army air force.

Two: The Eighth Route Army Air Force is not actually the Eighth Route Army Air Force, standing behind him is Ying Jiang.

In order to attract the empire's "Zero War" and disperse the empire's combat power, Yingjiang will definitely be willing to continue to provide "Hawker 81" to the Eighth Route Army.

That being the case, if the Empire has been going back and forth with the Eighth Route Army in the air, trying to destroy the Eighth Route Army air force... then when will it be the end?
You must know that the war machine that the empire has to face is Yingjiang, let alone a hundred "Hawker 81", even if it is a thousand or ten thousand, he can afford it.

And can the empire's "Zero War" withstand such consumption?

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Okamura Ningji's forehead.

He didn't expect that he would be led away from the strategic direction unknowingly. This is the so-called authority fan!
At this time Okamura Neiji already knew what to do, but he still asked: "Then, Kono-kun means..."

Shinta Kono replied: "I wonder if Your Excellency has heard of 'Blitzkrieg'?"

Neiji Okamura nodded, secretly thinking that Kono really had some knowledge, and what he said was exactly what he thought, if he wanted to attack the Eighth Route Army, he had to return to the ground to fight, and he had to be quick.

Therefore, Hans' "Blitz" is the best choice.

Kono Shinta took out a map from his pocket and spread it out on the table, and moved his numb legs...

Kono Shinta's movements were small, but Neiji Okamura noticed them, and hurriedly said: "Kono-kun, why don't we go to the headquarters to continue the discussion! There are more detailed maps there!"

Kono Shinta naturally wished for it.

The map of the headquarters is indeed a bit different, not only the map but also a scaled sand table. The sand table is full of small flags, marking the deployment and location of the enemy and our troops, and even the designation in detail.

Kono Shinta pointed to Yuncheng on the sand table and said: "Your Excellency, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is deployed on the front line of Yuncheng to form a line of defense, and there is a road from Yuncheng directly to the west bank of the Yellow River, and the two airports of the Eighth Route Army, Wanxian Both the airport and Wangxing Airport are located on the west bank of the Yellow River... If we want to completely wipe out the air force of the Eighth Route Army, I think we should organize two mechanized units, and after breaking through the enemy's defense line, go deep into its hinterland and take the two airports."

After a pause, Shinta Kono added: "I think that because the two airports of the Eighth Route Army are located in its hinterland and are still on the west bank of the Yellow River, they never thought that our army would dare to penetrate so deeply. Therefore, their ground defense It should be very weak..."

Speaking of Kono Shinta, he turned his gaze to Okamura Neiji, Okamura Neiji nodded in agreement with Kono Shinta's statement.

According to his information, the ground defenses of the two airports of the Eighth Route Army are indeed very weak, especially the Wangxing Airport.

However, it was more than 100 kilometers interspersed, and the two sides were Luliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain, so the reinforcements couldn't get in at all.

In case of being surrounded by the Eighth Route Army...
