Chapter 161
(One)

"There's no need to worry about that." Yamamoto said, "As long as our soldiers can cooperate with us and can call directly, we can decide the specific target on the fly! It's just..."

It's just that these two aircraft are too weak, and they are all models that have been eliminated from service and are ready to be converted into trainers.

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled and said: "There is no Type Zero, no Type 18 detective, but no matter what, Commander Okamura still saved face for me, an old guy, and got [-] planes that have not removed the machine guns and changed them into trainers. Two squadrons..."

Advanced models such as the Type Zero fighter and the Type [-] Command reconnaissance aircraft were transferred to the Pacific Ocean to fight against the British and American ghosts and animals.

Heavy bombers with a bomb load of 800 to 1000 kilograms were used to bomb Chongqing and force Chiang to surrender.

As for the 450 light and 500 light with a serial load of 56 to [-] kg, the North China Front Army currently has only two brigades of [-] aircraft, and it has been determined that all of them will be given priority to attack the Jizhong Military Region.

I didn't say that it would not be used by the First Military, but it needs to be applied in advance and approved by Neiji Okamura himself...

Kawasaki 32, the official name is Ki-32 Type 1800 light blaster, referred to as the 423th light explosion, the maximum level flight speed is 260 at an altitude of 1900 meters, the cruising speed is only 7.7, and the maximum range is 150. It carries two [-]mm aviation machine guns and can be attached to [-] kilo bomb.

Another Tachikawa 36, ​​officially named Tachikawa Ki-36 1800-type liaison aircraft, is used for reconnaissance and liaison purposes. It has a maximum level flight speed of 348 per hour at an altitude of 235 meters, a cruising speed of 1235 per hour, and a maximum range of 7.7. It is also equipped with firepower. Carrying two 150mm aviation machine guns can hang a [-] kg bomb, which is the same as the [-] light explosion.

Short legs, slow speed, low firepower...

Of course, compared to the Eighth Route Army without any air control and air defense capabilities, this is already a big killer.

"That's right, it's kind of... better than nothing... red pills, green pills, explosives... none of them!" Songshan felt a little depressed, and he was quite pessimistic about the result.

"These planes, no matter their performance or design, can't fit into our 'Scorched Earth Taiyue' combat plan!" Yamamoto shook his head lightly.

"General, do you think that our 'Scorched Earth and Taiyue' combat plan should not be... castrated..." Matsuyama gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a not-so-pleasant word.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto and asked, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?"

Yamamoto thought for a while and said: "Probably not. Our 'Scorched Earth Taiyue' combat plan is completely consistent with the principles and tactics of the 'Dead Water Jizhong' plan, and according to the mountainous terrain of Taiyue, we will build roads and block ditches." , Blockade walls, etc. can be replaced with trap areas and minefield areas depending on the terrain, and the budget is only about one-third of the Jizhong combat plan! I think there is no problem!"

In the plan they planned to report, it is expected that the rain will end in a week. They plan to take advantage of the rain to replace their special operations teams in groups of three or five. The clothes of the Eighth Route Army were thrown out with the radio station, and penetrated into the hinterland of Taiyue Mountain.

The entire 34 counties in the Taiyue Mountain area, Yamamoto and Songshan have already arranged subordinates, and they are carefully divided into 1670 pieces on the map like cutting tofu.

For this area, the 1670 tofu blocks have been marked more precisely. There are more than 2000 kilometers that can be blasted to fill valleys and build roads. Some areas can be transformed into prisoner-of-war camps. Slightly larger villages can carry out continuous transformation, build blockade walls to block ditches, and build more than 500 bunkers and more than 500 trap areas or minefield areas...

(two)

Is it an exaggeration?Actually not!Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka, who advocated Zeng Guofan's strategic thinking of "building a stronghold and fighting a dull war", participated in the formulation and discussion of tactics for the "big mopping up" in the central Jizhong Plain. That data, Yoshio Shinozuka is knew.

Just between the four large and medium-sized cities and four railway lines in the Jizhong Plain, starting in May 1942, a total of about 8300 kilometers of railways and roads will be built while the raids are underway, and more than 4180 kilometers of blockade ditches will be dug and blockade walls will be built. , built 1753 bunkers, thus dividing this area into 2170 small pieces...

"Scorched earth Taiyue" is to be reused after "burning wasteland", and "intensive farming in Jizhong" is to be used directly after driving away the Eighth Route Army and militia. The land there is much more fertile than the Taiyue mountainous area, which is completely different!

Based on the direction and principle of "intensive cultivation of Jizhong", Yoshio Shinozuka is actually quite satisfied with the plan of Yamamoto and Matsuyama.

In the plan, Yamamoto's own half team, plus Matsuyama's two squadrons, a total of more than 500 people were divided into more than 180 teams, and each team was responsible for confirming the coordinates of valuable targets in 8 to 10 areas.

On the 1670 tofu blocks in Taiyue, the targets will be divided into four grades according to strategic value, A, B, C, D, A-level targets and B-level targets, and the squadron will directly guide the air force to bomb.

Delineate the area, lock the target, and precisely guide the bombing, it sounds perfect.

But the problem now is that these two weak chicken configurations of the aviation unit obviously cannot match the 180 tactical teams carrying individual radios, so they are pulling their hips!
The first is the speed issue. With a cruising speed of just over 200 kilometers, if the airport is set in Taiyuan, even if it takes off and runs to the target immediately after receiving the signal, it will take at least an hour to reach the hinterland of Taiyue Mountain!

Setting up the airport at LY can ensure that it will be in place within 30 minutes, but the communication capabilities of these two aircrafts also restrict the feasibility of LY as a forward base!
This communication problem is a big problem!
Lichuan 36 is equipped with a radio station as a liaison aircraft, but there is no way to directly communicate with the radio station carried by the individual soldier. Instead, it needs to relay with the high-power radio station of the airport control tower.

However, whether it is Yamamoto or Matsuyama, the individual radio stations of their special operations team have limited power and high confidentiality requirements. The high-power radio station of the airport control tower cannot carry the communication coordination and positioning between hundreds of teams.

Then a second transfer, or even multiple transfers is required.

This is also the reason why the forward base cannot be set in LY.

Of course, although the [-] contact machine is a bit troublesome, it still has interaction.

But the Kawasaki 32 is the [-] light explosion, and it has no interaction, because it has never thought of establishing radio communication interaction since it was designed, let alone it, the Zero fighters have been dismantled because of combat flexibility... …

But fortunately, the "Scorched Earth and Taiyue" plan also has a very, very detailed design in terms of ground troops based on "strengthening the stronghold and fighting dumb battles".

Bombing from the inside out, the center blossoms.

At the same time, Yamamoto and Matsumoto designed the 1670 tofu blocks within the range of each tofu block, and it took 24 hours for an infantry squadron to clean them up.

 Favorites are welcome, thanks for the recommendation!
