Wang Xuexin's statement was beyond Chen Songyong's expectation.
Because he had always thought that guerrilla warfare was something that the Eighth Route Army could only do, and that the Japanese did not know or were good at using this tactic.
But then I thought about it: In fact, it was not that the Japanese did not know or were not good at guerrilla warfare, but that the former Eighth Route Army was so poor that there were no targets that the Japanese needed to attack with guerrilla warfare.
As for special operations...
Isn't that what the Japanese's special forces unit is?
And the Mainland Advance Team!
These troops disguised themselves as civilians and attacked the Eighth Route Army headquarters several times and succeeded every time. This does not mean that the Japanese are also familiar with this tactic and are quite experienced.
Now, if the Eighth Route Army builds an airport in the Daqingshan area, it will most likely face a triple attack from Japanese guerrillas, artillery and aviation.
Under such circumstances, can the airport still be built?
I'm afraid I can't even find a runway to land on!
This is also an issue Wang Xuexin is considering.
You must know that it is easy to hide an army but very difficult to find it. It is like finding a needle in a haystack.
For example, a Japanese squadron of 180 people was scattered and hidden in the Daqing Mountains in small groups. They were either hiding in jungle caves or in self-built tunnels... If the Eighth Route Army wanted to find them, would they have to
The entire Daqing Mountain has been turned over?
However, when necessary, these devils can be divided into groups and then launch a surprise attack on the airport under construction.
The Japs didn't even need to launch a direct attack.
They can provide coordinates for long-range artillery fire, and if that doesn't work, they can also call for bombers... So, the enemy has the upper hand.
Wang Xuexin realized that Okamura Neiji formed a system of the Japanese ground forces and aviation forces with the steel plant as the center.
The Eighth Route Army has shortcomings due to the lack of certain equipment, so it is difficult to fight against such a system in actual combat.
What to do now?
Wang Xuexin fell into deep thought.
He even wondered whether it was a wrong decision to abandon the steel plant.
At this time, what the Eighth Route Army needed most was a mechanized force.
The mechanized troops adapted from the Hundred Battle Group are far away in Yuncheng. It will not be easy to mobilize and there will be gaps in Yuncheng's defense.
He originally expected to develop his own car engines and form a mechanized army after owning a steel factory!
Now the steel factory is in the hands of the Japanese and cannot be taken back!
What's more important is...
The steel plant was a gap in the Eighth Route Army's defense line. If the Japanese occupied this place, they would be able to advance, attack, retreat or defend.
The commander on the other side soon learned that Wang Xuexin had issued an order to postpone the attack.
The leader nodded and said solemnly: "Xiao Dongbei is right, the Japanese have set up the Dragon Gate Formation for us! This Okamura Neji is not simple! I didn't expect that in this situation of overwhelming defeat,
You can still think of this way to stabilize your position!"
The chief of staff interjected: "Little Northeast is not simple either. They won't be arrogant and will not be discouraged by defeat. They can be considered as equals!"
The leader smiled and said: "In my opinion, Xiao Dongbei is still a step ahead. He can detect the danger ahead in time and stop moving forward. This is not something ordinary people can do!"
Even so, Wang Xuexin was still so worried that his eyes turned black at this time.
In the current situation, he believed that the focus was on the Japanese's "human-operated missiles."
Because it was this thing that forced the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes back 200 kilometers away.
The Eighth Route Army's "La 5" has a combat radius of only three hundred kilometers... so although it has advanced performance, it cannot compete with the "Zero War" for air supremacy.
As for the Japanese anti-aircraft guns...
Wang Xuexin thinks this is not a big problem.
After all, the Japanese's anti-aircraft guns do not have proximity fuses, so the probability of hitting a fighter plane is too small. Especially when enemy and friendly fighters are in a ball, the anti-aircraft guns are almost useless.
Wang Xuexin thought of several solutions to the Japanese's "human-operated missiles" in his mind.
One is to bomb with fighter planes.
But this solution is not very practical.
The reason is that the Japanese have cleared out all the civilians within a hundred miles, which means that the Eighth Route Army cannot grasp the specific location of the Japanese "man-operated missiles".
So how do fighter planes bomb?
Or where to explode?
"High Fire" was transferred from Yuncheng...
This faces the same problem as fighter bombing, which requires accurate and timely intelligence support.
If these two plans cannot be implemented without intelligence support, there is only one way: send a reconnaissance company to penetrate the Japanese defense line and kill them.
This plan is relatively reliable, because the reconnaissance company's infiltration is based on groping forward. Once the target is detected, it will immediately launch an attack and blow up the target.
However……
Guerrilla warfare and infiltration warfare are tactics commonly used by the Eighth Route Army. How could the Japanese be unprepared for this?
Even if the reconnaissance company discovers the target, which is the base of the "man-operated missiles", it will probably not be able to get close.
Just when Wang Xuexin was worried, Chen Songyong came up with a telegram and reported: "Batalion Commander, there is a call from Major Monlokov!"
"What did you say?" Wang Xuexin asked casually.
Chen Songyong replied: "It's about trading. They said that our country also needs the 'La 5' fighter jet. In the current situation, Mao Xiong hopes to trade with our army for the newly developed bullets!"
Wang Xuexin refused without thinking: "We are not short of bullets now, tell him, we can exchange as many x2s as we have for 'pull 5'!"
"yes!"
However, when Chen Songyong was about to send the report, he was stopped by Wang Xuexin.
"Wait!" Wang Xuexin said: "He said it was a newly developed bullet? Did he say what kind of bullet it was?"
"No!" Chen Songyong replied, with a look of confusion on his face, because in his opinion, no matter what kind of bullet it is, it is impossible to exchange it with x2. Mao Xiong takes himself too seriously!
Wang Xuexin stood up and ordered: "Ask what kind of bullet it is!"
"Yes!" Although Chen Songyong didn't understand why Wang Xuexin did this, he still followed the order.
Soon we got a reply: "It's the intermediate-power bullet that Comrade Battalion Commander mentioned before. Because of Comrade Battalion Commander's suggestion, the development time was shortened. At this time, we have mass-produced it! We know that it is not appropriate to trade it because it has
Thanks to Comrade Battalion Commander’s contribution, we should give priority to supply, but..."
Wang Xuexin immediately became excited, and he immediately replied: "No problem, one x2...can be exchanged for 10,000 rounds of bullets!"
This shocked Chen Songyong. Ten thousand bullets can be exchanged for one x2?
Could it be that I heard it wrong?
Not to mention that Chen Songyong didn't believe it. He didn't believe it when he came to Menlokov and received the telegram. There was such a good thing?
Then Monrokov gave another reminder: "We have not yet developed firearms that use this kind of bullet, so..."
"It doesn't matter!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The transaction continues as usual!"
