Sure enough, the chief of staff said while handing out the document in his hand: "We have received news that the Japanese have reached an agreement with Hans in at least these aspects. One is the airborne troops. Hans will send more military advisers to train a force for the Japanese.
The airborne troops, as well as the aero engines, are obviously preparing to improve the performance of their fighter planes. Also, there may be cooperation in tanks, and there may be cooperation in other aspects, but we have not received more information."
The commander laughed optimistically: "This is a good thing! The Japanese knew that with their current equipment and tactics, they might not be able to suppress us, so they went to the doctor in a hurry and hired a master!"
The commanders and soldiers burst into laughter "hehe", and many people cast admiring glances at Wang Xuexin.
Because everyone knows that although it was the efforts of the entire army that led to such success, the decisive role in it was undoubtedly Xiaodongbei.
Then the leader changed the topic and his face became serious again: "However, we have to treat the Japanese 'master' with caution! Not long ago, we experienced a 'blitzkrieg', and it was really unexpected and hard to guard against! In addition, I
I made several post-war summaries with the chief of staff and staff members, and concluded that the reason why our army was able to win this time was not only due to Comrade Wang Xuexin’s excellent command, but also a bit of luck!”
Wang Xuexin agreed.
To be honest, the Eighth Route Army had many weaknesses at that time. Whether it was the "Sanjiadian" industrial base, the granary, or the airport, as long as one of them was captured by the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army might be completely defeated...
In fact, we cannot say "comprehensive defeat", but "strategic failure".
For example, if the three stores were captured, not to mention the secrets of the Eighth Route Army's "High Fire" and
"There are also reasons for the Japs!" the chief of staff added: "The Japs' tactics and units conflicted with Hans's 'blitzkrieg', which directly led to the fact that the campaign they launched did not perform at its best!"
"That's right!" The leader nodded with his hands on his hips: "So, we can't be dazzled by this victory. Although we defended ourselves this time, it doesn't mean we can defend ourselves against the next one.
Maybe it will be different if we go back to attack!"
Li Yunlong laughed "hehe": "Commander, you are right, the Japanese attack will be different next time, but our next defense can be the same? If the soldiers come to block the water and the soil floods, then the little Japanese can still play
Flowers come out?"
After saying that, he stood up and waved to the cadres around him, saying, "Comrades, what do you think?"
"Yes!" the comrades responded loudly and confidently.
Kong Jie stood up and added: "Chief, I heard that we are going to buy planes from Mao Xiong. By then we will build an aviation fleet, and the Japanese will have no more recruits!"
What Kong Jie said was a bit on the point.
Because "blitzkrieg" mainly relies on air superiority, without air superiority it is difficult to launch and flexibility is lost.
If the Eighth Route Army can always make a fuss about "air supremacy", it can cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.
The chief also understood this. He turned his attention to Wang Xuexin and asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you are responsible for this project. What do you think?"
Wang Xuexin stood up and replied: "Chief, comrades, we do want to introduce a batch of fighter planes from Mao Xiong, but the point is that it is not that easy or that fast for the air force to form combat effectiveness. The shadow of the plane has not been seen yet, so I just want to
Isn't it inappropriate to put pressure on the Japanese?"
Li Yunlong retorted: "What's inappropriate? The plane hasn't arrived yet, won't you pick up the soldiers first? I'm talking about Xiaodongbei. I used to say that we couldn't practice without planes, but now don't we have planes? Finished
There are still a group of new students being trained at the county airport! I think it’s almost done..."
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin replied: "It's still early. It will take at least a year and a half for the new students to go to the battlefield!"
"What? It will take another year and a half?" Li Yunlong's face became calm and he cursed: "This Yingjiang is unreliable. It will take another year and a half to train a soldier. None of us can train while fighting.
Well... let that Major Hege learn from us some other time!"
The commanders and fighters in the conference room burst into laughter.
Wang Xuexin was a little helpless, but then he thought about it... Li Yunlong's words were not unreasonable.
If Mao Xiong’s aircraft win based on “quantity” rather than “quality,” then is it appropriate for the Eighth Route Army to allow trainees to train step by step before engaging in air combat?
Should the Eighth Route Army also follow the example of the Mao Xiong and allow pilots to train under the pressure of death during combat? Maybe that would be more effective.
but……
Even if we want to do this, we have to wait until the Eighth Route Army can produce the "La 5"!
Otherwise, without the support of rear output, let alone pilots, "pull 5" will not be able to withstand consumption.
At this time, Ding Wei stood up and said: "Chief, comrades! I think it is time for us to change our strategy. Before, we did it because our fighter planes had the ability to compete with the Japanese's 'zero battle' for air supremacy and to defend the Japanese's control of the Chinese region.
It makes them disorganize themselves, so they can take the defensive instead of attacking. Now, the Japanese are constantly changing their tactics, and even introduced technology from Hans to upgrade equipment and add troops. I think... we use defense instead of attack.
The strategy seems inappropriate!"
Wang Xuexin nodded secretly. Ding Wei did have the demeanor of a general. He always analyzed problems from a strategic level.
The chief also agreed with this and encouraged: "Go on!"
"The first is the issue of offense being greater than defense!" Ding Wei analyzed: "Our weakness will still be our weakness in the future, and this will not change. For example, three stores, can we move three stores away? There is also a granary.
…”
Kong Jie interrupted Ding Wei at this moment: "The granary can be moved!"
"Lao Kong!" Ding Wei said: "The granary can indeed be moved, but can we ensure that its location is not known to the Japs? In other words, if it is moved to any place, it may still become the target of the Japs!"
Ding Wei continued: "The same is true for the three stores. We have worked hard to move the industry and military industry of the three stores to another place. All the devils have to do is find out its location. In addition, there are Yuncheng, the airport, etc.
It is the weakness of our army. More importantly, if the enemy captures any of these weaknesses, it may cause a fatal blow to our army! If we continue to defend like this, it will be too passive and too dangerous!"
