When Wang Xuexin revealed the possible location of the Japanese air defense system, both Zhang Zongping and Chen Songyong were shocked.
Wang Xuexin nodded and analyzed: "The air defense system is used in places that are most likely to be bombed by the enemy or engage in air combat with the enemy, so the most likely place is Duolun County!"
Zhang Zongping nodded. It was because of this that the headquarters sent intelligence personnel to Duolun County for reconnaissance.
Wang Xuexin continued: "But the Japanese have never been willing to defend. They want to use the resources and certain advantages in their hands to launch a counterattack. It is best to push back our army and block it in the pass again!"
If we want to achieve this goal, we must force the Eighth Route Army back to Zhangjiakou.
At that time, the Japanese will be able to complete the defense of the Northeast with fewer troops, and will not be in a state where they are in a state of running for their lives under the threat of the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army.
Chen Songyong leaned forward slightly to observe the map on the table, and said thoughtfully: "What the commander means is that the Japanese will take the risk of deploying the air defense system outside Jiulian Town to help them seize air supremacy, and then capture Jiulian Town?"
"
Wang Xuexin calmly took a sip of coffee and said "Hmm": "What the Japanese are actually thinking about is the 'Tiger'! It's just that because our army has anti-tank missiles, their 'Tiger' dare not attack, but if they have
Air supremacy... then we can fight a coordinated air-ground battle!"
Chen Songyong understood this when he heard this: "Fighters and bombers suppressed our anti-tank missiles, while the ground used 'Tiger' raids!"
"As expected of the devils!" Zhang Zongping said with a smile: "They are sinister and vicious, but they certainly wouldn't have thought that they would not be able to control the air even if they used the air defense system!"
Chen Songyong also laughed easily: "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise we would probably suffer a big loss this time!"
Of course the Japanese cannot take advantage of the air superiority, because just like Wang Xuexin's previous plan... the Eighth Route Army fighter planes only need to arrange a device that emits ultrasonic waves, which can trigger the missile's proximity fuse in advance.
Therefore, the Japanese air defense system is ineffective against the Eighth Route Army.
However……
"No!" Wang Xuexin said: "The Japanese should be able to control the air!"
Wang Xuexin's words confused Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping: The Eighth Route Army clearly had a way to deal with it, so why could the Japs still have control of the air? The Japs could control it if they could, so why did Wang Xuexin use "should"?
Wang Xuexin did not explain. He then asked: "Think about it, if the Japanese are unable to control the air, what will happen next?"
Chen Songyong replied without thinking: "The entire offensive plan of the Japanese is based on gaining control of the air. If they cannot gain control of the air, of course..."
Then Chen Songyong understood: "The leader hopes to lure the enemy deeper?"
Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "The Japanese have set up several cordons between Jiulian Town and Duolun County, and have laid many mines, barbed wire and anti-tank trenches on these cordons. These will become our army's
There are obstacles in the way of mechanized troops, but the Japanese Tiger can come and go freely by relying on known gaps, which is obviously not conducive to our tank operations, even if the performance of our T44 is better than that of the Tiger!"
Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping nodded in unison.
The Japs set up a cordon with the purpose of fighting the Eighth Route Army tanks from a distance...The Japs believed this was the advantage of the "Tiger" over the Eighth Route Army's "Sherman".
In other words, when the war begins, it is likely that the "Tiger" will be on the other side of the cordon, and the Eighth Route Army T44 will be on this side of the cordon.
After the fight started, the Japanese "Tiger" would definitely turn around and run away when he saw something was wrong... At that time, there was a cordon in front of T44 of the Eighth Route Army, and there were mines and barbed wire everywhere. How to chase him?
If we fight like this, won't there be no suddenness in the battle?
The Japanese "Tiger" is still there, and it will always be a threat from now on. On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army T44 may be trapped in the "fascination array" set up by the Japanese and become passive.
"Then!" Wang Xuexin said: "Why don't we lure the Japanese's 'Tiger Style' to Jiulian Town, and beat it so hard that it will be severely damaged!"
Zhang Zongping clenched his fist and agreed: "The regiment leader is right, the fist must be withdrawn and then punched out to hurt the enemy!"
"But the commander!" Chen Songyong said: "The towns of Jiulian Company have artillery detection radars and air defense systems. If we lose air supremacy... these things cannot be bombed!"
Zhang Zongping said without thinking: "We can withdraw these equipment in advance!"
Wang Xuexin shook his head and said: "The artillery detection radar and air defense system are not gadgets, especially the air defense system has dozens of cars. In addition, the enemy's purpose is to seize our army's air defense system, and their intelligence personnel will focus on looking for me.
The location of the military air defense system, if you withdraw...it will be easy for the Japanese to find clues!"
Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping immediately fell silent as soon as Wang Xuexin's words came out.
It's not a pity that they missed the artillery detection radar and air defense system.
These two things are indeed valuable, but by this time the Eighth Route Army had upgraded electronic tubes to transistors, and systems based on electronic tubes were of little value.
Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping were thinking of radar soldiers.
If you want to deceive the Japanese intelligence officers, you should not leak any information, otherwise the news will probably leak out and your success will be ruined!
Therefore, no one except the command headquarters can know the real situation, including those who control the artillery detection radar and air defense systems and soldiers.
During wartime, they might even risk their lives to protect artillery detection radars and air defense systems because of their value...
Wang Xuexin really wanted to give them an order not to do this, or tell them in another way that our army already has more advanced radars and there is no need to do this.
But Wang Xuexin knew very well that this was not a rational approach... Artillery reconnaissance radar and air defense systems were both key reconnaissance units of the Japs. There were probably Japs spies within the Eighth Route Army, just like Zhu Ziming had appeared in the Independent Regiment before.
There are many means for this.
Therefore, any disturbance will alert the enemy.
On the contrary, if the Eighth Route Army soldiers desperately protect the artillery detection radar and air defense system, the Japanese will not become suspicious. They will believe that the Eighth Route Army's air defense system and artillery detection radar have really been destroyed by them, and the air supremacy is also in their hands.
Dare to launch an attack with confidence.
Is it worth paying the price?
If we don't do this and instead fight in a regular manner, that is, pushing forward one line of defense after another, will more people be sacrificed?
Wang Xuexin thinks so, because it means fighting in an area that the Japanese are familiar with and have designed.
However……
Although I know that more people will be sacrificed, this choice is much easier.
Because of this choice, you don’t need to bear too much guilt!
