Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 966
This is actually Wang Xuexin's "defense instead of offense".

Now that Wang Xuexin has estimated that the devils may have new air combat tactics against the Eighth Route Army's X1, and the Eighth Route Army's intelligence network has not been able to find out this new tactic of the devils, then the Eighth Route Army does not need to rush to compete with the devils for air supremacy...

Fighting against the devils for air supremacy is in line with the devils' wishes, because after the first battle, the devils don't need to worry about threats from the air.

On the contrary, it was Wang Xuexin's "quiet braking" that made the devil quite uncomfortable.

Wang Xuexin analyzed it at the meeting like this:
"One of the main tactics of the flexibility of the 'blitzkrieg' is the division of troops."

Wang Xuexin pointed to the map and said: "For example, the devils can set up multiple targets at the beginning, such as Sanjiadian, Wangxing Airport, Wanxian Airport, the location where the 'high fire' is deployed, and the arsenal. This makes it difficult for our army to take care of everything. When our army dispatches troops to defend several key points, weak points will inevitably appear, then the devil's mechanized troops can rely on their speed advantage, and suddenly join forces to launch a surprise attack on our army's weak points!"

The chief nodded with a heavy expression.

He has learned about international battles and knows that Hans did this in the "Blitzkrieg".

So when Hans attacked his troops looked like they were scattered all over the place.

But it is precisely because of this disorder that the enemies do not know what Hans' real goal is.

In other words, Hans didn't have any "real target" at all, and they were waiting for the enemy to mess up.

When the enemy moved their troops to what they thought were the so-called "key strategic locations" for defense, Hans suddenly turned his troops and hit the opponent's weak points...

The chief of staff was a little strange when he heard Wang Xuexin's words. He asked, "Can we still prevent the devils from dividing their troops?"

This is indeed somewhat unimaginable, because whether to divide the troops is entirely at the subjective will of the enemy, and the Eighth Route Army cannot decide.

But Wang Xuexin doesn't think so.

"The point is that the devil's mechanized units all need air cover!" Wang Xuexin analyzed: "If there is no air cover, these mechanized units will become the targets of massacres by our army's fighter planes. No matter how fast they are, they can't beat the fighter planes!"

"That's right!" The chief nodded and said, "If the mechanized troops have to divide their forces, the devil's fighter planes have to divide up their forces to cover them! Although the fighter planes are fast, our fighter planes are even faster, and there are two airports in Wanxian and Wangxing. , this point can be put to good use!"

"Chief!" the chief of staff said with some concern: "But at Wanxian Airport...can Major Doug cooperate with us?"

The chief replied without thinking: "We didn't let them directly participate in the battle. We just let them go up to support when necessary, just to scare the devils. If they can't do this, they can go back to the country!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This is not to say that the chief executive is difficult for others, but that the battlefield is different, and there is no such thing as zero risk at any time.

Major Doug is an instructor, and what they want to teach the Eighth Route Army pilots is not only flying skills and combat skills, but also the courage to face danger.

And if Major Doug and these eagle sauce pilots don't have such courage, how can they teach excellent pilots.

However, Major Doug and the others were indeed not such cowards. After receiving the order from the chief, they readily agreed.

After all, this is not a dangerous task. All they have to do is to take off to put pressure on the devils when necessary. Once they find that the devil's plane is approaching, they only need to leave the battlefield at high speed.

As a result, the battlefield formed an invisible pressure on Kono Shinta, and this invisible pressure was so strong that he couldn't breathe.

The Empire only had 48 "Zero Wars", while the Eighth Route Army initially estimated that there were at least 100 "Hawk 81s", half of which were at Wangxing Airport and half at Wanxian Airport.

How can the limited fighters of the Imperial Air Force suppress two airports at the same time with a small number?

Split up?

Once the troops are divided, there are only 24 left in each direction, and the number of enemy fighters is more than double, and they are also equipped with X1. Is the Imperial Air Force confident that they can defeat them?

If there is no division of troops, it means that you can take care of one side but not the other.

What's more serious... This also means that mechanized troops cannot divide their troops.

Because the mechanized troops were divided without air supremacy, the mechanized troops were easily found by the Eighth Route Army's aviation to defeat them one by one or even destroy them. Therefore, the so-called "blitzkrieg" turned into a blitzkrieg defeat.

And the mechanized troops do not divide troops, which also has problems.

The first is the issue of air cover for fighter planes. "Zero War" has to fly from the airport [-] kilometers away to the front line... Although this is nothing to the range of "Zero War", "Zero War" has to travel back and forth exhausted .

The second and more important thing is that a large part of the flexibility of the "blitzkrieg" has been lost... The Eighth Route Army can easily determine the direction of the main force of the mechanized troops that have never been divided, and make preparations in advance.

So, is this still "Blitzkrieg"?

It's not far away and it takes a lot of trouble to jump into the enemy's encirclement!
Thinking of this, Shinta Kono thinks that it cannot continue like this, otherwise the meaning of interspersed will be lost.

"We should force the enemy's air force out!" Shinta Kono said, "I wonder if your Excellency has a good way?"

Neiji Okamura hesitated for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What if we suppress the enemy's airport in an all-round way? Does the Eighth Route Army Air Force have to fight?"

Neiji Okamura is right.

The so-called "comprehensive suppression" means keeping fighter planes over the enemy's airport at all times.

Because there are fighter planes over the enemy's airport, and the Eighth Route Army airport lacks necessary air defense equipment, such as anti-aircraft guns.

This will prevent the Eighth Route Army's planes from taking off... As long as the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes appear on the runway or even on the airport, they will become the targets of the Imperial fighter planes.

"But..." Kono said really puzzled, "Do we have the ability to fully suppress? The enemy's fighter plane is [-] kilometers away from our military airport!"

Comprehensive suppression requires more fighters, and it is far from enough to rely on 48 "Zero Fighters". Type 96 fighters and Type 97 bombers must be included.

However, the longest range of these fighters is only 1200 kilometers, and they go 600 kilometers once they come and go. They can only cruise for an hour at most over the enemy's airport.

It can't even reach an hour, because if the Eighth Route Army has all the actions at this time, they don't dare to make too many combat actions.

Neiji Okamura replied calmly: "Kono-kun, I'm ready! I opened up two temporary airports on the Yuncheng defense line, which means... the enemy's airport is only more than 100 kilometers away from our army!"
