Bright Sword's Minion Interspersed

Chapter 294 Not very clear
(One)

After washing up and having some hot breakfast, Kazuki Yamamoto calmly walked into the command post. All the staff officers stood up to pay their respects. It seemed that they were all in good spirits. They had changed shifts, and those on the night shift had already shifted to rest. up.

Two officers with the rank of major came over to salute. One of them had red eyes and black circles. He should be the leader of the staff team on duty last night. According to the regulations, he had to report in front of the officer to complete the handover to avoid information omission.

"Thank you!" Kazuki Yamamoto waved his hand and said, "Let's get started!"

The two stood at attention, bowed slightly, walked to the front of the map, and began to tell Kazuki Yamamoto.

From the state of the two of them, Kazuki Yamamoto already knew the answer. During the few hours he rested last night, there was no bad news, but there were no surprises either.

"An hour ago, an advance motorboat passed by here and went south. We spoke directly with them by radio."

"Wait!" Kazuki Yamamoto interrupted the report and asked, "One ship?"

"Hayi, yes sir, one!" Red Eye Staff Officer reported: "But this one is a 25-ton capital boat! The following 5-ton boats will be able to pass around noon..."

"Okay, okay, I got it!" As for the 25-ton boat, he dared to call it a "capital boat", and the red-eyed staff officer had a proud look on his face, so Kazuki Yamamoto waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

This 25-ton inland river gunboat is really a special research and development conducted by the Japanese Navy for the characteristics of the dense water network in the Chinese mainland, especially in the south. It is 18 meters long, 3.6 meters wide, and has a maximum draft of 1.6 meters. It is powered by two diesel engines with a total power of With 300 horsepower, a maximum speed of 11 knots, and a battery life of about 300 nautical miles, it is safe to pass on the Yangtze River, inland rivers and lakes.

After it was finalized in 1939, more than 100 ships were quickly produced, about [-]% of which were equipped in the south with dense water networks, and only [-] or [-] ships were allocated to the North China theater.

The weapon system of this motorboat has an 80mm mortar at the bow, a Type 13 30mm double-linked heavy machine gun is installed at the top of the cockpit, and the rear half of the hull is the crew compartment, which can accommodate 14 people. Soldiers, there is a [-]-type heavy machine gun above the crew compartment, and the gunboat is composed of [-] people.

When the design was finalized, both the gun position and the gun position still had protective armor, but in actual production, none of them were made, only a circle of sandbags was built.

That is to say, the Chinese army does not have decent firepower.

Even so, the Japanese military industry system felt it was a waste, so after making about 100 ships, it continued to shrink based on this 25-ton gunboat. The displacement ranged from 10 tons to 3 tons in 5 levels, and the corresponding ship length was from 12 meters. to 8 meters, each level of length, the thickness of the armor is reduced to 3 mm, and all the saved weight is used for loading materials or carrying people. Just like this small boat, 3 tons and 8 meters are fully loaded with 30 members, 10 tons and 12 The full load of Mi Na can reach 110 people.

As long as the Eighth Route Army has some decent anti-material weapons, such small boats and small boats, they are not living targets!

Standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, Kazuki Yamamoto thought about whether to adjust the order.

In the original arrangement, Yamamoto asked the upstream to provide at least two 25-ton gunboats, plus two small gunboats. The large-tonnage gunboats provided medium and long-range firepower, and the small gunboats were responsible for transporting landing soldiers.

Such a small fleet can transport squadron-level troops at one time and has the firepower equivalent to a machine gun squadron. With such a force, the firepower lands and flanks, and the Chinese army's pocket formations and sky furnaces will inevitably collapse quickly!
But if the two small gunboats from the upper reaches come here at noon, if they wait for them to assemble, then they won't be able to launch an offensive battle this afternoon!
The purpose of bringing the gunboats here is to gain speed, such a delay, how can there be any suddenness!
The quality of these bastards is really too bad!
After thinking about it, Yamamoto looked at the staff, pointed to the map and asked: "The location of the pontoon bridge, the location of the pontoon bridge where we transport troops to the west, I remember there are two barges, right?"

The staff members nodded one after another, and one of them tentatively asked: "Sir, what do you mean, let the gunboat tow the barge to carry the soldiers here?"

Kazuki Yamamoto was not very clear about the situation of the barges over there. He ordered: "Ask them, the carrying capacity of the barges, can each barge have one team?"

When the sky was getting dark, Lao An told Guan Shan that he had arrived at the predetermined location, and then he went to act alone again.

It was different from what Guan Shan thought, he just drove in the dark all the way, and didn't chat.

Originally, Guan Shan thought that the reason these two people didn't let him come over from the 2nd company was because they wanted to talk to him about something on the way.

"In order to protect our common secret, from now on, the two of us will try our best to communicate with you in Chinese." Maja said to Guan Shan in slightly blunt Chinese. Exaggerated gestures.

"Thank you, thank you!" Guan Shan expressed his gratitude, but it was limited to gratitude, and there were not too many waves in his heart.

After all, I have already written an IOU, and the amount is 189 million silver dollars, which is equivalent to 2.4 U.S. dollars at a ratio of 1 to 78.75. Lao An didn't explain why it was such a number instead of others, and how it was converted. Guan Shan didn't ask.

Regardless of the reason, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. When he bit the bullet and signed his fingerprints, Guan Shan didn't know what the result would be when he reported this matter to the leader...

Zhang Wanhe didn't say anything, Lao Zhang would be so angry if there were no accidents, and Li Yunlong, it is estimated that he would not approve the deal [-]%.

"On the opposite side of this location is a tributary called Yi River. You will see it clearly after dawn!" Maja introduced: "The tributary carries a relatively large amount of sediment, so the river is shallow in the east and deep in the west. You can see That blinking mark, it's the beacon light..."

Guan Shan nodded and listened to Maja's introduction.

"Andrei judged that after judging the approximate location of the ambush circle, the Japanese army's quickest strategy was to load infantry on motorboats, bombard and escort the infantry to land behind the ambush position..." Maja looked at Guanshan and said: " If they are fast enough, they could pass this position as soon as noon today."

"Today's noon?" Guan Shan closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and yawned.

He seemed to have dreamed something vaguely, he seemed to have seen Yamamoto having breakfast and chatting with the staff at the map, but Guan Shan was too tired to hear what they were saying clearly.

"You seem to know something?" Maja asked suspiciously.

　Favorites are welcome, thanks for the recommendation!
