It can also be seen from this that the oil in the Japanese country is already in an extremely tight state.
Otherwise, the airport would not be located in Yuncheng, which is close to Zhongtiao Mountain. This is to do everything possible to save every drop of fuel, especially precious aviation fuel.
Then the chief of staff looked at the map and frowned again: "Yuncheng is at least thirty kilometers away from our army's defense line! After the Japanese occupy the Jinsui Army defense area, if our army implements 'elastic defense' again, it will move back dozens of kilometers."
kilometer……"
It goes without saying what happens next.
By then the Eighth Route Army will probably be fifty or sixty kilometers away from the Japanese Airport.
This distance is far beyond the six-kilometer range of the rocket launcher, and it is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army to make a sneak attack, so it is useless to guess the approximate location of the airport even if we know this information.
The leader thought for a while and then said: "Can we send troops to lurk near Yuncheng and wait for the time to attack the Japanese airport!"
This is a tactic commonly used by the Eighth Route Army. It sends a small force disguised as civilians to ambush in mountains or among civilians, and then suddenly launches an attack on enemy targets.
"This may be a way!" the chief of staff replied: "But the success rate is not high. Japanese airports are usually heavily guarded, and our troops do not have heavy equipment and do not have much ammunition! It is difficult to break through the Japanese defense line!"
This is for sure, especially since the Japanese have set up the airport in the newly occupied area, which must have multiple defenses on three levels inside and three outside, and sometimes even tanks and armored vehicles.
The chief and chief of staff fell silent again.
The commander even considered the possibility of transferring this information to the Jinsui Army so that they could prepare in advance.
After all, that area is the defense area of the Jinsui Army. Even if they want to retreat, it will be easier to ambush the next unit and leave a batch of ammunition for a sneak attack.
But then I thought about it and realized that this idea wouldn't work.
The reason is very simple. The Jinsui Army has its own interests. Although they claim to obey the command of the stubborn army, they are incompatible with the stubborn army's overt and covert fighting. For example, this time the Jinsui Army was stabbed by the stubborn army... and withdrew from the flanks.
The 31st Army Corps caught the Jinsui Army by surprise, otherwise the Jinsui Army would not be in such a mess.
At this time, it was a bit difficult to ask the Jinsui Army to leave a force to sneak attack the Japanese airport to support the stubborn army.
Only the Eighth Route Army would put aside its past grievances and do this again in the interest of the nation.
Otherwise, tell Chu Yunfei?
I heard that Chu Yunfei is a resistance faction who doesn't care about party strife. He may be willing to leave a force to organize a sneak attack.
But this plan was quickly overturned by the chief himself.
Not to mention whether Chu Yunfei would agree, even if he agreed, Yuncheng would still be outside his defense zone.
In addition, the 358th Regiment had repelled Japanese attacks several times before. The Japanese were probably keeping a close eye on Chu Yunfei. His every move was under the surveillance of Japanese spies. If he were not careful, not only would he fail to make a sneak attack, but he would alert the enemy.
At this time Wang Xuexin said: "Chief, Chief of Staff, what if we... use rocket launchers to lurk?"
"Bazooka lurking?" the chief of staff asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
"That's what I think!" Wang Xuexin said: "Even if the Japanese guard the three floors inside and outside the airport, they can't surround it six kilometers one after another! Our rocket launchers can hit six kilometers, then
Once the rocket launcher is fired in the direction of the airport, won't the Japanese defense lines be completely destroyed?"
"We know this!" The chief said anxiously: "But the point is, how can you hide this rocket launcher? Such a big thing will be stopped before it can go very far!"
"Chief, that's why we said we should lurk!" Wang Xuexin replied: "And what we want to hide is not the Japs, but the Jinsui Army! The Japs are very well-defended, so it's not easy to hide, but the Jinsui Army has loose defenses, so it's much easier to hide.
!Some time ago
I noticed it when I was trading with Chu Yunfei that our car is the same as that of the Jinsui Army. We just need to install the rear bucket and cover it with canvas. If it doesn't work, we can move a few shell boxes to block it. Who can see it?
It turns out it’s a rocket launcher!”
At this time, the cars used by the Japanese and the stubborn army were all imported from Yingjiang, while the cars used by the Eighth Route Army were handed over from the Japanese, so there was really no difference.
Then Wang Xuexin said: "The Jinsui Army is now in chaos, isn't it? They are retreating, rushing for luck, not even bothering to search. If our people change the skin of the Jinsui Army...
Just raise a flag and say it's a mission, and once the car drives off, no one will doubt it and no one will stop it."
These words made the chief and chief of staff nod their heads.
At this time, the Jinsui Army was indeed in chaos.
In fact, the Jinsui Army began to be in chaos after the stubborn troops withdrew the 31st Army Corps.
Although Yan Laoxi has very serious warlord ideas, he is unambiguous in the land, so he can be regarded as a stickler who has made a difference.
Even Yan Laoxi could see that the enemy's target was probably Zhongtiao Mountain rather than the Eighth Route Army... This was actually very obvious, but the stubborn army was commanded remotely by Chongqing, so its ability to perceive the battlefield was very slow and seriously lagging behind.
Then he continued to misjudge and ignored Yan Laoxi's warning.
The former commander of the First Theater Command was even under house arrest in Chongqing and unable to contact the front line.
Even Yan Laoxi couldn't stand this approach. He yelled: "I don't know the importance and the good. I don't know the enemy and I destroy the Great Wall. How can we not be defeated in such a war?"
However, despite the scolding, Yan Laoxi was still helpless and could only choose to retreat.
At that time, the road was full of people evacuating with the troops, people driving mule carts, pushing wheelbarrows, people walking with backpacks, and military vehicles coming and going day and night to transport supplies... Yan Laoxi made a plan
, burn everything that cannot be taken away with a fire, and leave nothing to the Japanese.
In this chaotic situation, the Jinsui Army was already too busy to take care of itself and had no energy to stop the car and check the documents.
Wang Xuexin couldn't hold back what he said: "Our intelligence officers will first find a place near Yuncheng, as long as we can hide the car. Some cave dwellings, mines, etc., we will hide there as soon as our car drives in, and the entrance of the hole will be hidden."
Just seal it up, hide for a few days and nights, and wait until the Japanese airport is ready and the planes arrive. As long as this rocket launcher can break into a six-kilometer range, it won't be enough to hit the airport with a lot of shells!"
The chief and chief of staff were stunned after hearing these words.
Although this plan is bold and dangerous, if you think about it carefully, it is very likely to succeed.
Because they took advantage of the retreat of the Jinsui Army and placed a chess piece in Yuncheng, the Japanese would never have thought that there was an Eighth Route Army hidden in the Jinsui Army's defense zone.
It was even more unimaginable that this Eighth Route Army could bomb their airport within a range of six kilometers.
The chief of staff thought for a while and then asked: "Then... what about after bombing the airport? What to do with our rocket launchers? How to drive them back?"
Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "It will explode!"
