The most shocking thing about BF109's complete defeat was Naosaburo Okabe.
Originally, he was counting on defeating the Eighth Route Army through a special modification of the BF109 plus 75MM anti-tank gun, and even relied on using it as a secret weapon to defeat the Eighth Route Army. Unexpectedly, this "secret weapon" would be used by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles.
Not worth mentioning at all.
Naosaburo Okabe closed his eyes and said in pain: "Are the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles already so powerful? 25 BF109s were able to destroy only 5 tanks..."
(Note: The Japanese have the habit of falsely reporting their military exploits. They doubled their results, but 5 tanks are still nothing compared to 25 BF109s)
Sanji Ojoto wanted to say something to comfort Naosaburo Okabe, but found that he couldn't find the right words at all.
Because any fool knows that the Eighth Route Army's air-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft missiles can fully control the empire's air superiority.
Air-to-air missiles can ensure victory for Eighth Route Army fighter planes in air battles.
But this still has limitations, because the short range of the "La 5" cannot be avoided, and the Imperial BF109 and even the "Zero Fighter" and "Feiyan" have room for operation.
However, the emergence of its new anti-aircraft missiles directly cut off the empire's thoughts in this regard... If the Eighth Route Army has a missile that infantry can use in field battles with a range of more than ten kilometers, this means that the Eighth Route Army infantry can easily destroy it.
Imperial aviation.
Theoretically, as long as the Eighth Route Army infantry is equipped with enough anti-aircraft missiles, the Imperial Air Force can do nothing: as long as it is possible to be bombed by the Imperial Air Force, place anti-aircraft missiles, and the Imperial fighter planes will die!
In the end, Ojoto Sanji could only comfort himself and said: "Your Excellency, General, the number of missiles like the Eighth Route Army's just produced may be seriously insufficient..."
"So what?" Naosaburo Okabe asked, "Can we know where they have equipment and where they don't?"
Indeed, when the intelligence is unclear, in the eyes of the Imperial Air Force, everything is covered with weapons, that is, the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles are everywhere.
Moreover, one day the Eighth Route Army will mass-produce them, which means that the empire will one day be "defended" and have nowhere to go!
Shizue Sasaki on the other side didn't think so far ahead. He just thought about how to break through the Jinzhou defense line in front of him.
After the failure of BF109, he immediately thought of taking a detour from the sea, but unfortunately Li Yunlong thought ahead of him.
Li Yunlong had already organized a mobile force using half-track vehicles to prepare for the anti-landing: the distance from Jinzhou to the southernmost port of Lushun was only a few dozen kilometers, and the coastline was not long. Any time the Japanese landed at any point, the Eighth Route Army would detect it in advance.
, and before they even got ashore, the Eighth Route Army's half-track vehicle was already waiting for them on the shore.
This landing will be more troublesome at night, because it is difficult to find traces of the Japanese at night.
But this problem was solved after the Eighth Route Army repaired the cruiser "Natori" that the Japanese had repaired in the shipyard.
The Eighth Route Army used the Japanese cruiser to patrol the sea. Once it saw the fishing boats used by the Japanese for landing, it would smash them with several rounds of guns and cannons.
After that, they used naval guns to bombard the Japanese attacking troops indiscriminately, causing numerous Japanese casualties.
At this point, the Japanese completely lost confidence in retaking Dalian and had to withdraw their troops.
Among them, Zhao Gang's contribution is indispensable.
Because although the Shipyard and Lushun have surrendered, they are actually not united, and there is even an undercurrent of civil strife.
This does not mean that there is a conflict between the shipyard and the port, but that there is a conflict between the uprising troops of the people and the surrendering troops of the puppet army.
From the perspective of the common people: These puppet soldiers who usually dominate the common people are now their own people. How can that be done? The blood debts of the crimes they committed before are wiped out? They can even lead an uprising.
?Nothing is so cheap!
So it is natural to want to liquidate these puppet troops.
From the perspective of the puppet army, if you surrender and have to be liquidated and punished, you might as well not surrender and just follow the Japanese. Although this will not make you happy in the long run, it won't make you miserable right now!
Therefore, the puppet army has always been hesitating and hesitating. In addition, the Japanese spies among them are sowing discord, so there is a situation where the common people's rebel army and the surrendering puppet army will have to fight first.
Zhao Gang took several political commissars to distribute them to the two places, and the crisis was resolved.
Zhao Gang first went to the port and then to the shipyard. The first thing he did whenever he arrived was to confirm the leadership position of the surrendered puppet troops, that is, to let the puppet troops command the militia.
This was a very smart move by Zhao Gang. Confirming the status of the surrendering puppet troops was a reassurance for them. The people's uprising troops only needed to do a good job.
Zhao Gang also had good reasons. He explained to the rebels: "Comrades, if the puppet troops surrender, they will no longer be puppet troops. We must treat them as one of our own! Our army's policy is to forget about past mistakes. Since we have accepted them
If you want to surrender, you can no longer care about what you have done before, otherwise the Japanese will not be able to drive them out.
, we ourselves must first open up the old accounts and settle the accounts. When will the settlement be settled? When will the Japanese be driven out? This will not only be detrimental to the overall situation of the war, but will also be used by the Japanese to divide our forces.
.So, if this debt is to be settled, it should be settled on the Japanese!"
This is a helpless choice during the war. What the puppet troops did before surrendering cannot be accounted for. If this is calculated, it will never be clear. If everything is accounted for, there will be no such thing as the surrender of the puppet troops.
Something's happened.
"As for who will lead and who will command!" Zhao Gang then continued: "Since they are our own comrades, let's think about who has more combat qualities, who has more command experience, and who knows the Japanese better.
tactics..."
Needless to say, the puppet troops who surrendered must have an advantage.
Most of the people know nothing about the military. They have never even touched a gun... let alone guns. On the one hand, the Japanese are worried that the people will "rebel", and on the other hand, they want to recruit as many civilians as possible.
strategic materials, even kitchen knives are shared by several families.
Once something happens, the people's rebel army will usually swarm in and fight. The puppet army has at least been trained by the Japanese and has fought with the guerrillas. They know how to organize and command.
After stabilizing the situation at the port and shipyard, it is not difficult to repair the warship and put it into operation.
After all, here is the largest and most advanced shipyard in the country with many technicians.
In addition, there is currently the only external port in China. There are many transport ships and sailors in the port. If it cannot even operate warships, it is not worthy of becoming the external port of Northeast China.
