"Yes, it is the shipyard!" Wang Xuexin continued: "If we can capture the shipyard, the shipyard can be used by our army, which can basically cut off all connections between the entire Northeast and the Japanese mainland and even the south! Plus, the shipyard can be used by our army.
Our army then surrounded two soldiers from Fengtian and Fengtian.
The factory is under the suppression of our army's artillery fire. Even if the Japanese have 700,000 Kwantung troops, their equipment, ammunition and supplies will become a big problem. To use a bad word, one shot will be missed.
, will there be hope for defending Fengtian by then?”
Listening to Wang Xuexin's words, the eyes of the leader and chief of staff couldn't help but light up.
They really didn't expect this. Looking at the entire northeastern seaport, Dalian and its surroundings were the only ones there. This was the only connection between the Japanese Kwantung Army and its homeland and other armies.
This statement is actually not accurate. It should be said that after the Eighth Route Army attacked south from Chifeng and captured HLD and cut off its land connection, Dalian would only have one outlet to the sea.
There is another place on the land, which is to go from the direction of Bangzi.
However, the terrain in this direction is very complicated and the journey is long. In winter, there will be heavy snow and the mountains will be closed, making it impossible to walk, making supplies very difficult.
In other words, if the Eighth Route Army successfully captured HLD and regained Dalian, it would almost have surrounded the Japanese Kwantung Army!
In addition, with the blessing of the common people, the Eighth Route Army will become more courageous and have more troops as it fights. Then... will it still be a fantasy to block the Japanese who have lost important supply areas and main supply lines?
The chief of staff was silent for a while and then said: "But Comrade Wang Xuexin, if this happens, the enemy is likely to send out many warships to rob the shipyard and port. By then...can we hold on?"
"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin said confidently: "It depends on how many anti-ship missiles we have. As long as there are enough anti-ship missiles, we almost don't need to worry about enemy warships!"
The leader nodded and said: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case. Our anti-ship missiles can hit farther than the Japanese warships, which gives us the advantage that our army can hit the Japanese but the Japanese cannot hit our army, but..."
The chief asked with some worry: "Are you sure that anti-ship missiles can be successfully developed? In addition, by then we will be able to produce so many anti-ship missiles and transport them to Dalian?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "There is not much technical difficulty in the development of anti-ship missiles, but it has many flaws. The biggest flaw is that it is easy to be interfered with through radio communication! However, this flaw is not a problem for the time being, because the Japanese will not know about it in a short time.
I would never think of using radio interference for this defect!"
What Wang Xuexin said was true. Although the anti-ship missile had not yet been developed at this time, it was nothing more than adding a camera and using a television to receive the signal. This was not a problem for the research institute.
The chief of staff asked again: "What about production and transportation issues?"
"The production problem is not that big!" Wang Xuexin said: "Because it can be modified from previous missiles. If this is not possible, we can gather all the missiles, including those produced in Yuncheng!"
At this time, the Eighth Route Army's missiles have been widely used, and the output has also increased with the increasing requirements of the front line. Up to now, several arsenals can produce an average of more than thirty missiles a day. If they were all concentrated in Dalian, they would only need
There were hundreds of them within ten days.
"There may be some problems with transportation!" Wang Xuexin said: "But we can use the Japanese railway transportation. Every time we conquer a place, we mobilize the people's power to repair the railway lines. As long as we can successfully transport a few trains at night, we will be able to
It’s enough for us to fight against the Japanese warships!”
The leader looked at the map and was silent for a while, then asked a serious question: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, do you know what the consequences will be if we lose this battle?"
"Report to the leader, I know!" Wang Xuexin stepped forward and replied: "If we lose the battle, or if there are any mistakes in it, our 100,000 troops will probably not be able to come back!"
This is obvious, because the Eighth Route Army will not have a complete line of defense by then.
A complete line of defense should be sealed on both sides.
For example, from Chifeng to Chaoyang to HLD, Chifeng is connected to the Nuruerhu Mountains, and HLD is close to the coast. This is a complete line of defense.
On the other hand, there should also be a line of defense in the direction of Fengtian.
Otherwise, as long as Fengtian's Japs rush toward the HLD from the rear, they will hit the back of the HLD defense line. In other words, the Eighth Route Army will be vulnerable to being cut off from the middle by the enemy.
Once this line of defense is cut off, it means that the Eighth Route Army's 100,000 troops will be surrounded by the Japanese.
However, if Wang Xuexin's plan is to fight all the way from Chifeng to Dalian, the land route from north to south is more than 700 kilometers. If the entire route is defended, the Eighth Route Army's 100,000 troops will not be able to do it.
In other words, there are many loopholes in the middle that make it easy for the Japanese to counterattack.
"But, are you still planning to take this risk?" the chief asked.
This is no small matter. If Wang Xuexin doesn't have a good reason, the chief will not agree to do it.
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied affirmatively: "My reason is: I believe the people in the Northeast will make up for our loopholes!"
The chief fell silent again.
He knew what Wang Xuexin was thinking. During the attack, the Eighth Route Army paid attention to seizing the Japanese arsenal, and then armed the people along the way to garrison the places they passed. There were even surrendered puppet troops.
In this way, the main force of the Eighth Route Army can be "saved" for use in encircling Fengtian.
However, the Northeast is an area that has been enslaved by the Japanese for more than ten years. Will the situation that Wang Xuexin imagined really happen?
No wonder the chief is suspicious.
Because there are painful historical lessons in the Northeast region where the Anti-Union troops were encircled and suppressed, each Anti-Union hero was either betrayed by his subordinates or betrayed by the common people. This directly caused the Anti-Union fighters to be frightened when facing the Chinese people.
Will this situation happen again?
Wang Xuexin is not worried about this.
This is partly because he knows that when the Northeast was recaptured in history, most people sided with the Eighth Route Army.
On the other hand, he knew that the situation at this time was different.
It was actually normal for that situation to occur in the Northeast. The fact is that not only the Northeast was like that, but the whole of China had that kind of atmosphere.
The reason is very simple, that is, the people generally believe that China will lose this battle, and they have lost confidence in their country!
If you are destined to lose, then why fight? You might as well compromise early!
But now, I’m afraid no one is stupid enough to think like this!
