The latest chapter of the Military Industry System of Bright Sword
;;;;Okamura Neji immediately understood the meaning of Kono Shinta’s words:
;;;;The Eighth Route Army intends to attack the steel plant, thereby attracting the Imperial Force's "zero combat" and bombers, and then using this new fighter plane to annihilate all the Imperial Air Force...
;;;;The more Okamura Neji thinks about it, the more it makes sense.
;;;; Judging from the intelligence obtained from the front, this new fighter plane used by the Eighth Route Army is faster than the "Hawker 81", to be precise, it is much faster... In this era of fighter planes, speed almost means combat effectiveness
, because from this point alone, it can be confirmed that this new fighter is more advanced than the "Hawk 81".
;;;;Plus the Eighth Route Army and x1.
;;;;You know, the Eighth Route Army's "Hawker 81" plus the x1 can defeat the "Zero War". With the blessing of this faster fighter, how can the "Zero War" be its opponent?
;;;; Thinking of this, Okamura Neji couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat, and then immediately changed his mind: "Order, the 29th mixed brigade, immediately march towards Daqingshan to recapture the steel plant. If there is difficulty in recapturing the steel plant,
, you must blow it up!”
;;;; After thinking about it, Okamura Neiji felt uneasy again and added another order: "Send a report to the 'Self-Defense Forces', hoping... they can cooperate with our troops to attack the steel plant. If the steel plant can be captured,
, two thousand rifles, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition!”
;;;;Okamura Neji thinks this is the right time.
;;;;A brigade and the "Self-Defense Forces" with a total strength of tens of thousands can completely surround the Eighth Route Army's troops in the steel plant.
;;;;Also, even if the steel plant cannot be recaptured, it is not difficult to blow up the steel plant with artillery. After all, the steel plant is located in the middle of an open field and has nothing to hide.
;;;;What Neji Okamura didn't know was that it was precisely because he thought it was "OK" that he lost the best opportunity to bomb the steel plant.
;;;;Wang Xuexin set up a temporary airport outside the steel plant.
;;;;This approach is unimaginable by ordinary people, because it means putting eggs in the same basket: the steel plant and the airport are next to each other. Once they are bombarded by enemy artillery or bombed by enemy bombers, one will be destroyed and both will be destroyed.
indivual.
;;;;But Wang Xuexin believed that the Eighth Route Army had only this option.
;;;;First of all, the steel factory is in the middle of an open field, surrounded by a large piece of hard ground that has been flattened by the Japanese.
;;;;This is what the Japanese did to prevent the steel plant from being attacked by guerrillas... If the surrounding terrain has hills, trees, grass, etc., it can easily be used by the guerrillas as cover to sneak up on the steel plant. This will
It poses a great threat to the safety of steel plants.
;;;;Therefore, the Japanese would regularly ask Chinese laborers to clean up the trees, weeds, etc. within a few miles of the surrounding area, and even a small hill was dug flat.
;;;;This kind of terrain is very suitable for being transformed into an airport. What the Eighth Route Army has to do is to clear away some hidden dangers, such as vines, tree stumps buried in the ground, stones, etc. and then fill them in. The airport is almost complete.
…
;;;;The "La 5" is a lightweight wooden propeller fighter that has very low requirements on airports. If necessary, it can even land in open areas in the wild.
;;;;But of course, there are still many uncertain risks when landing in the wild.
;;;;This allowed the Eighth Route Army to complete the construction of the airport in only two days, leaving little time for the Japanese to bomb the steel plant.
;;;;Secondly, the Eighth Route Army's troops transferred to the north were only one unit of the Independent Regiment.
;;;;This is not because the Eighth Route Army has insufficient troops, but because it cannot mobilize more troops to the north in such a short period of time... The transfer of troops to the north must be completed secretly. Too many troops can easily be discovered by the Japanese.
;;;;There are only a few thousand soldiers in the Independent Regiment, and using them to defend a steel plant is already quite tight. If the airport is to be located elsewhere, it means that the Independent Regiment will have to dedicate troops to defend it.
;;;;This is obviously unrealistic.
;;;;Therefore, Wang Xuexin made a decisive decision and simply set up the airport at the steel plant.
;;;;Aviation fuel was delivered by two transport planes... These two transport planes were the transport planes that Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng flew from the puppet army.
;;;;I originally thought that these transport planes could not play a role and could only be parked in Yuncheng for people to visit and carry out patriotic education. Unexpectedly, this was the time when they came into play:
;;;;But aviation fuel cannot be transported by land from far away Yuncheng or Wangxing Airport, which are hundreds of kilometers away...In fact, there are more than a thousand kilometers of roads, and it will take at least several days to transport it.
, we still don’t know what problems will occur.
;;;;Even if it finally arrives, water from far away cannot quench the thirst for nearness.
;;;;Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. It is impossible for the airport to be built and the aircraft to be ready, but then not being able to be put into use due to lack of fuel will affect the entire battle.
;;;;So Wang Xuexin thought of those two transport planes.
;;;;A temporary runway was built at the steel plant's temporary airport that night, and the two transport planes landed here first.
;;;;After that, the two transport planes flew back and forth between Wangxing Airport and the steel plant, constantly bringing aviation fuel to the temporary airport.
;;;;While the Eighth Route Army was making intensive preparations, the "Self-Defense Forces" surrounded the steel plant.
;;;;The Self-Defense Forces moved so quickly mainly because they were tempted by the rewards given by Okamura Neiji...
;;;;The commander-in-chief of the Self-Defense Forces is a man named Qiu Chengzuo, and people in the Daqingshan area call him Lao Qiu.
;;;;Qiu Chengzuo was originally a colonel in the stubborn army and volunteered to form a guerrilla force in Daqingshan.
;;;;This is because Qiu Chengzu studied abroad in the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets before and learned some wilderness survival knowledge, thinking that these skills could be used in guerrilla warfare.
;;;;What Qiu Chengzuo didn't expect was that these abilities of his were completely insignificant when it came to "guerrilla warfare".
;;;;The result was that he, a so-called "famous general" who had returned from his studies, was played around by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.
;;;;But Qiu Chengzuo was also ruthless. In order to gain face from the Eighth Route Army, he finally secretly cooperated with the Japanese to suppress the Eighth Route Army.
;;;;This move was indeed effective. The Eighth Route Army guerrillas were pinned deep in the mountains and unable to move.
;;;;But the cooperation between Qiu Chengzuo and the Japanese was also out of control... This kind of cooperation often leads to no turning back.
;;;;Because once we cooperate, the devils will have some evidence.
;;;;These evidences will become a handle in the hands of the Japanese, who can provide these evidences to Chongqing at any time.
;;;;But actually... Chongqing already knew about these things, but in order to suppress the Eighth Route Army, they turned a blind eye.
;;;;Since we can suppress the Eighth Route Army and survive in Daqingshan, why not?
;;;;When Qiu Chengzou heard about Okamura Neji, he actually gave him two thousand rifles... This was a windfall for the "Self-Defense Forces".
