Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

When Lin Yuan heard Deng Hong say this, he didn't react for a while, and asked, "What did you say?"

Deng Hong said: "Don't you remember the Dunkirk evacuation in World War II? At that time, the British and French allied forces were pinned on the port of Dunkirk. As long as Hitler ordered his armored forces to move forward, he could take 30 British and French allied forces They were all wiped out, but he gave the order to stop the attack by mistake, giving the British and French allied forces a chance to escape."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Oh, that's how it is. I thought about it this way. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, especially the combat effectiveness of the original Lushun defenders, has hardly been weakened. If we continue to attack, we will definitely not be able to bear it." Small losses, the Japanese army has only one goal, and that is to retreat and escape, we are different, we have finished fighting the Japanese, and there are still old men to fight, so we should preserve our strength."

Deng Hong smiled and said: "I understand, do you want to wait for them to board the boat, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Lin Yuan laughed again, and said, "No, I want to keep their warships for greater use!"

At this moment, a messenger came to report: "The Japanese army in Fengtian City is preparing to retreat from the east gate. The generals ask for instructions whether to pursue them?"

Lin Yuan said: "Order all the ministries not to pursue and rest quickly." Because Lin Yuan knew that the Japanese army would soon retreat into the mountains, and the pursuit would not achieve much results.In this way, Dashanyan led the remnants of the defeated army back to North Korea along the mountain road. The Japanese army in Changtu heard that the Japanese army in Fengtian had retreated, and they also retreated northward to North Korea via Ji'an.

After Dashanyan entered North Korea, the passage between the mountains was surrounded by the Qing army strategically because it was deep behind the enemy and there was no other defensive fulcrum. There were also many debates among the top Japanese troops about whether the defenders should retreat. Some believed that if Lin Yuan ordered Lushun's defenders to directly attack Andong ("Andong" is the old name of "Dandong"), once Anton lost, the Japanese army on this line would be wiped out. The Japanese army living on this line was preparing for the counterattack against Manchuria in the future, and Anton was a hard nut to chew. Lin Yuan wanted to chew on it, but without leaving a few teeth, it was impossible to chew on the meat!

In the end, it was decided that the Japanese troops on this line would not withdraw, but would stay in the Northeast, relying on the favorable terrain for a long-term garrison.

And Lin Yuan's gaze also fell on the Japanese army on this line. The next main target of the battle was the Russians. It was unimaginable to leave such a group of enemies behind him!

Lin Yuan looked at the map in front of him. This line is full of mountains, and the road for large troops is in the valley. The Japanese army occupied the valleys on both sides and several important villages and towns on the passage. These villages and towns used to be military fortresses. So there is still the city wall of the previous dynasty, and it will definitely not be easy to take it back.

Lin Yuan also set his sights on the small city called Andong. It connects Shenyang in the north, North Korea in the south, Lushun in the west, and Gaoshan in the east. Whoever controls this place will control the access to and from the Korean Peninsula in the west. When the Chinese People's Volunteers entered North Korea to fight, a considerable part of the troops entered North Korea from here.For Lin Yuan, the most important significance of capturing Andong was that it directly strangled the passage for the Japanese troops in the northeast to return to North Korea. In this way, they would collapse without fighting.

However, the generals of the Japanese army are also aware of the importance of Anton, so they will definitely send heavy troops to defend. If there is a strong attack, it may become a protracted war. This is what Lin Yuan does not want to see. Regardless of the Japanese army, it was all the result of Lin Yuan's unwillingness to fight the Japanese army to preserve his strength. Now it is even more impossible to spend his troops on attacking the city. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Can it be formed again to fight more and fight less?"

When Lin Yuan was facing the map and meditating, Deng Hong said: "Captain, are you thinking about how to fight the remaining devils? I have a good idea."

Lin Yuan asked, "What is it?"

Deng Hong drew a big cross with his hand on the mountain line where the Japanese army was stationed, and said: "Let our planes drop incendiary bombs here in the shape of a fork, so that no matter which direction the wind blows, they can be killed." Burn it clean!" Lin Yuan said with a smile: "This method can be used when we attack the Japanese mainland. I want to take down Anton, but I don't want to spend too much force."

Deng Hong said: "If you want to do this, you have to control the number of Anton's enemies. If they increase their troops significantly, it will bring us great difficulty in attacking!

Lin Yuan said: "You are right. Anton and North Korea are separated by the Yalu River. It is now April and the surface of the river has begun to melt. It is impossible to transport food and troops from it. The Japanese army specially built a bridge. We want to Block the enemy and blow up that bridge."

While talking, the curtain was lifted, and Fade Chen walked in clutching his stomach, saw Deng Hong at a glance, and said in surprise, "Old Deng, are you here too?"

Deng Hong saw Fade Chen clutching his stomach, frowning, and teased, "Old Chen, what are you doing clutching your stomach? Pregnant?"

Fade Chen said with a smile: "I have to cover it with my hands to prevent my stomach from exploding."

Deng Hong and Lin Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and Fade Chen continued: "It's not that Gao Yu, who will make delicious food for me all day after he comes back."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you don't have to eat like this."

Fade Chen smiled wryly and said: "After she delivered the food, she put it on the table, and then looked at you eagerly. It felt like she would commit suicide if you didn't eat all the food! But the food she made It's really delicious..."

Lin Yuan coughed intentionally and said with a smile, "Okay, don't show your affection in front of us!"

Fade Chen said with a smile: "I came here to think, you give me a task, let me go far, and stay here, one day I will die! Aren't you going to blow up the bridge? Just right, I took Let's blow it up!"

Deng Hong smiled and said, "You don't need to go to blow up the bridge, we have planes." Fade Chen put away his smile and said, "I don't know if you are planning this method, but I can tell you clearly, Things like blowing up bridges with planes won't work!"

Lin Yuan hadn't seriously thought about sending planes to blow up bridges. Seeing what Fade Chen said, he asked, "Well, why can't you use planes to blow up bridges?" Fade Chen said, "Our current flying hours The number is less, so it can’t be wasted. The Japanese army built a bridge on the river. We blew it up without any difficulty, but the Japanese army will continue to build it. They don’t need to build large bridges. To repair the pontoon bridge, if one is blown up, another one can be repaired, our planes can’t afford them!”

Fade Chen went on to say: "Not only that, our aircraft is likely to be completely ineffective, because we can't let fighter jets patrol the river all day long, we can only patrol with drones, and then notify the carrier-based aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft It will take a certain amount of time to fly over, and during this time, the Japanese army’s pontoon bridge has already been built, and the troops and ammunition have been delivered.”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You are right. It seems that we need to send you to blow up the bridge and wait by the river."

After making up his mind, Deng Hong said: "Our blocking reinforcements is only one aspect. If we want to fight more and fight less, we must move Anton's defenders away. How can we let Anton's defenders leave Anton? , go somewhere else?"
