Takahashi Nozomi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this telegram.
As the division commander of the 57th Division, he certainly knows what the 5th Air Force is. It is the Bf109 from Hans, which is called the "fastest fighter" by the empire, plus the 75MM anti-tank vehicle.
The gun was specifically designed to deal with the Eighth Route Army's tanks and half-track vehicles.
At this time, the tanks and half-tracks of the Eighth Route Army were placed on the ground. They were simply targets for BF109!
If the Bf109 can be used to suppress or even destroy the Eighth Route Army's armored defense lines, then only the Eighth Route Army's trenches will be left!
It will be much easier this way!
So Takahashi Yewang immediately responded with a telegram: "Your Excellency is wise, if the Eighth Route Army tanks are destroyed, our army will definitely be able to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and wipe out all the enemies!"
Then Takahashi Ambition immediately organized an artillery regiment and a tank regiment, plus an infantry regiment to prepare for a full-line attack.
Prior to this, Takahashi Ambition did not dare to use artillery and tanks.
Artillery will definitely be suppressed by the enemy because the enemy has artillery detection radar.
The tank has no offensive significance at all... Takahashi Nozomi only has the Type 97 tank, which will be destroyed by the "Sherman" at long range, by anti-tank missiles at medium range, and by rocket launchers at short range.
.
Sometimes Takahashi could not believe how, with the industrial level of the Eighth Route Army, it could form such a full range of anti-tank firepower from long, medium and near ranges.
But now, if BF109 can suppress the Eighth Route Army's tanks, this line of defense will no longer be unbreakable.
Will the artillery be suppressed?
Then let it be suppressed!
Because even if it is suppressed, it is much better for the artillery shells to hit the artillery than to hit the charging infantry and prevent them from attacking.
Will the tank be destroyed by enemy tanks?
Then be destroyed!
At least this will allow enemy tanks to fire anti-tank shells instead of anti-infantry grenades.
To put it simply, Takahashi's investment in artillery and tanks was to disperse the Eighth Route Army's firepower.
As long as the infantry can break through the Eighth Route Army's firepower network and rush into their trenches to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the Imperial Army will win... Will the Imperial Army with more than 30,000 people worry about fighting with more than 2,000 Eighth Route Army troops? They will be swallowed up in an instant, right?
!
After making these preparations, Takahashi Nozomi contacted the aviation command.
(Due to limitations of communication equipment, Japanese infantry usually cannot communicate directly with fighter aircraft. They must contact the aviation command to coordinate with fighter aircraft.)
What Takahashi Yewang didn't expect was that Li Yunlong on the other side also received a warning immediately.
The warning was issued by the headquarters, and intelligence is always handled and coordinated by the headquarters, and this time is no exception.
The headquarters has already deployed intelligence personnel near the Jaap Airport, and as soon as they see BF109 taking off, they will immediately send a report to the headquarters.
After receiving the telegram, the chief did not hesitate at all. He said: "If you take off BF109 at this time, it must be aimed at the Jinzhou defense line. Immediately inform the independent group and let them prepare for air defense!"
At that time, Li Yunlong was still in the field fortifications commanding, and he was also preparing to withdraw the half-track vehicles.
Zhao Gang expressed confusion about this and asked: "Others hope that the defense line will be as strong as possible. We are fighting well now. The Japanese are trying to defeat us. Why do you want to withdraw the half-track car instead?"
"Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong said: "We are fighting well now, and the Japanese are indeed unable to get through! But think about it, we can send troops to go around by boat, but the Japanese think they can't go around? What if the Japanese also come and do this?
,Are we also going to be attacked from both sides?"
After Li Yunlong said this, Zhao just understood what was going on.
It makes sense when I think about it. The entrance to Jinzhou has been sealed, but it is more than 200 kilometers from Jinzhou to Yingkou. Such a long distance is along the coast. The Eighth Route Army did not pull down the defense line all the way.
If you don't come down, the other side to Zhuanghe is also along the coast.
As long as the Japanese choose a random location and take a fishing boat to bypass the Jinzhou defense line, they will immediately appear behind the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang nodded and said: "That's right, the half-track vehicles should be withdrawn and used to organize a mobile force to defend the rear!"
After thinking for a while, Zhao Gang added: "I think I have to go to Lushun and the shipyard!"
"How do you say that?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but look at Zhao Gang in confusion. His eyes seemed to say: What are you, a political commissar, doing running around during a war?
"Look!" Zhao Gang explained: "Since the Japanese can use boats to bypass our defense lines, why not just go around to the shipyard or port?"
"They dare?" Li Yunlong said: "That place has been occupied by the surrendered puppet troops and people. The devils are not looking for landing there..."
The last word "death" was not spoken.
Because Li Yunlong knew that this was not a matter of military strength or combat effectiveness, but a psychological issue.
If we look at the comparison of military strength and combat effectiveness, the Japanese are indeed seeking death when they land at shipyards and ports.
Because these two places organized tens of thousands of militiamen as soon as they were recovered, and they were fully armed... The ports and shipyards had sufficient supplies, so arming tens of thousands of militiamen was just a joke.
And if the Japanese used fishing boats to get through, they would send hundreds of people over at most.
Not to mention that there are coastal defense guns in shipyards and ports that can destroy these fishing boats on the sea. Even if the enemy lands, they can easily be destroyed on the beach.
The Japanese landing is not the same thing as the Eagle landing.
In the Yingjiang landing, warships were used to bombard the target location for several days and nights. The Japanese used fishing boats to detour and then take the beach or occupy the port.
In this situation, it is easy to be blocked by fire.
Therefore, if there was a real fight, the Japanese would definitely be no match.
The problem is... the people in these two places are not yet stable. What if the puppet troops are so frightened when they see the Japanese landing that they switch sides again? Will there be another problem?
Therefore, it is necessary to send several political workers to lead and direct these militia operations at this time.
but……
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, can you do it? Is this too dangerous?"
Li Yunlong was worried that the surrendering puppet troops would capture Zhao Gang and send him to the Japanese.
"What's the danger?" Zhao Gang knew what Li Yunlong was worried about. He smiled and said: "You don't have to trust people who are suspicious, understand? If you don't have this trust, just don't accept their surrender!"
At this moment, the correspondent came up with a telegram and reported: "Captain, the Japanese BF109 has taken off, and our superiors ordered us to prepare for air defense immediately!"
Li Yunlong was startled and secretly thought that the Japanese were about to have a big fight.
So he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Emergency start of the air defense system, prepare anti-aircraft missiles!"
Then he turned back and shook hands with Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, the shipyard and port depend on you. I will send two half-track vehicles to you!"
"No need!" Zhao Gang replied calmly: "Just two three-wheelers with a few correspondents and a radio station will be enough!"
