Of course Wang Xuexin will not be idle while waiting for the warships to arrive. He has been maintaining the transportation line from Taiyuan to Dalian and continuously transporting anti-ship missiles up.
Within a few days, Dalian had stockpiled more than 300 anti-ship missiles.
However, Wang Xuexin believes that this is not enough, because if twenty anti-ship missiles are used to destroy one warship, then these missiles are only enough to deal with a dozen warships.
In addition, Wang Xuexin also stockpiled more than 200 anti-aircraft missiles and four transistor-based air defense systems in Dalian (two sets each for the shipyard and port).
Of course, the airport is also essential...Wang Xuexin used the "Zhou Shuizi" airport captured from the Japanese.
The original name of Zhou Shuizi is "Stinky Water". It was named because there is a ditch that leads the smelly water into the sea, so it was called "Stinky Water". Later, because "zhou" and "stinky" have similar sounds, it gradually became "Zhou Shuizi".
.
The Japanese built a civilian airport here that can accommodate more than 50 aircraft and three runways to facilitate the Japanese navigation to Bangzi, Sinuiju and other places... The terrain of Bangzi is complex, not only is it mostly mountainous, but the transportation is backward. If the Japanese want to travel between Bangzi and Huaxia,
The best way to get there is to take off from Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport.
After the Eighth Route Army recaptured Dalian, Wang Xuexin immediately converted the airport into military use, where he stockpiled spare parts, ammunition, and fuel and stationed 70 fighter planes.
This is prepared to prevent Japanese aircraft carriers.
The Japanese warships may not be able to get close because they have less range than anti-ship missiles, but the attack radius of the Japanese aircraft carriers reaches thousands of kilometers... This is determined by the range of "zero combat".
In fact, let alone thousands of kilometers, the Japanese aircraft carrier only needs to be at a position of 300 kilometers, and the Eighth Route Army will basically have nothing to do with it.
The reason is that the maximum range of the missile is only more than 200 kilometers.
In fact, this is the second issue. If the missile has insufficient range, it can be modified. At worst, a few more range-extending rockets can be installed.
What's more important is that the TV guidance of anti-ship missiles needs to be controlled by the "La 5" pilot. If the aircraft cannot fly, the missile cannot be exploded, and the combat radius of the "La 5" fighter is only 300 kilometers.
In this way, the Japanese aircraft carrier may create a "I can hit you but you can't hit me" situation with the Eighth Route Army.
In order to avoid falling into passivity, Wang Xuexin placed most of his air defense forces in Dalian.
Because Wang Xuexin knew that Dalian was even more important than Fengtian.
On the other side, Naosaburo Okabe has been paying attention to the Eighth Route Army's defense in Dalian.
He had always hoped that the Eighth Route Army would shift its focus to Fengtian after regaining Dalian, but in the end he was disappointed.
Looking at the information about Dalian, the Eighth Route Army strengthened its air defense and anti-ship, Naosaburo Okabe sighed and said: "The Eighth Route Army has defended Dalian watertight!"
Sanji Ojodo didn't dare to speak because he also agreed with what Naosaburo Okabe said.
In fact, Naosaburo Okabe had always hoped to use the navy to recapture Dalian and once again open up the connection between the Kwantung Army and the mainland, but judging from the current situation, this seems impossible.
Attack with naval warships?
Or force a landing under the cover of a warship?
Since the Eighth Route Army has anti-ship missiles, this seems to be courting death!
Because for the enemy's anti-ship missiles, a warship without any cover at sea is an excellent target!
If the warships cannot survive, let alone cover the infantry landing, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army has made full anti-landing preparations on the shore!
These preparations mainly involve laying mines and driving stakes along the coast.
The mines all come from the enemy's warehouses. They are not used in vain. They can prevent the enemy's ships from approaching.
The wooden piles were driven to prevent the Japanese landing ships from docking.
Afterwards, barbed wire and landmines were laid on the beach, and the militiamen built another line of defense behind it... The possibility of the Japanese trying to break through such a coastal defense was almost zero.
In fact, it can be said that this kind of coastal defense was eliminated during World War II.
Because this is what the Japanese did on the Pacific battlefield, but once they started fighting, they discovered that all this was a useless effort: whether it was mines, wooden stakes, or barbed wire mine defense lines on the beach, these would all be destroyed by eagles.
The warship's cannonballs flattened it.
But tactics are always relative. Just because this tactic is useless to Yingjiang doesn’t mean it’s useless to the Japanese!
Not only are the Japanese not as inhumane as Yingjiang and they have almost endless artillery shells, but more importantly, when the Japanese use naval guns to blow up these shore defenses, their warships themselves will have to bear the blows of the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles.
At that time, it will become the case that the Japanese are using warships to exchange fortifications with the Eighth Route Army. Even a fool knows which one is more cost-effective.
If the Japanese cannot use warships to blow up these fortifications, and at the same time the "zero war" cannot gain air superiority, and eventually the Japanese want to land again... they will have to rely on people to break through these shore defenses.
However, things like mines, wooden stakes, and barbed wire are powerful weapons that delay people. All kinds of equipment in the defense line are the enemy of people, even if the people who shoot in the defense line are poorly trained recruits of the Eighth Route Army.
Use aircraft carriers?
I'm afraid it won't work to use aircraft carriers, because using aircraft carriers will only increase the "zero war". It is no match for the Eighth Route Army's "pull 5"!
"Your Excellency, General!" After thinking for a while, Sanji Ojodo said: "Recalling the last battle at HLD, the Eighth Route Army had to use two batches of anti-ship missiles to blow up our warships..."
"What do you want to say?" Naosaburo Okabe asked with a straight face: "Do you want to ask the Eighth Route Army to shoot down all the missiles?"
"No!" Sanji Ojoto quickly replied: "I was thinking, if our warships cover each other with anti-aircraft firepower, can they shoot down as many enemy anti-aircraft missiles as possible? In addition, if there are still our fighter planes
By participating in the war, we can intercept anti-aircraft missiles to the maximum extent and protect the safety of our warships!"
"Where is the enemy's 'Pull 5'?" Naosaburo Okabe asked, "Do you think the enemy's 'Pull 5' is just a decoration?"
"We can use the anti-aircraft firepower of warships to provide cover for the 'Zero War'!" Sanji Ochito replied.
Naosaburo Okabe couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
There is indeed some truth to Ojoto Sanji’s statement.
In short, it requires close coordination between warships and aviation.
If the enemy comes with anti-ship missiles, then use "zero warfare" to match the warship's distance: "zero warfare" intercepts at a long distance, and the warship's anti-aircraft firepower intercepts at close range.
If the enemy comes with a "Pull 5", then use "Zero War" to match the level of the warship: "Zero War" is high and the warship is low. In a double strike, it may not lose to the "Pull 5" equipped with air-to-air missiles.
Thinking about it, Naosaburo Okabe nodded slightly and said: "Send this combat plan to the Navy immediately!"
