It seems that the Japanese are troubled by the connection between the Eighth Route Army and Yingjiang and Mao Xiong.
However, Wang Xuexin didn't care too much about this.
Because the connection between the Eighth Route Army and Yingjiang and Mao Xiong was ultimately due to common interests rather than Sun Erwei or Androvich... They assassinated one Sun Erwei, and Yingjiang would soon send another Sun Erwei.
However, Wang Xuexin felt that the safety of people like Sun Erwei and Androvich should still be considered.
Because we have such a friendship and such a pleasant cooperation, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so convenient for another person, not to mention that this will also affect the relationship with Yingjiang and Mao Xiong to a certain extent.
"I will send a few people to protect your safety!" Wang Xuexin explained: "But you should also be careful not to appear frequently in public places. This is Yuncheng, where there is a mixture of good and bad. If enemy agents are mixed among the people, it will be difficult for us to distinguish and control them.
!”
"Of course!" Sun Erwei smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will protect myself!"
Then Sun Erwei pulled Wang Xuexin aside and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I just heard about how you captured Yuncheng. This is great and unbelievable! How did you come up with the sneak attack from Salt Lake?"
The plan to attack Yuncheng is highly confidential, except for the participating troops... In fact, most of the participating troops do not know about it. Only the tank troops participating in the battle and a limited number of commanders know the plan. The other troops used to cooperate in the battle just act according to the order, until
After Yuncheng was defeated, they didn't even understand how the battle was won.
Because of this high-level confidentiality, Sun Erwei did not know the entire plan and battle process until then.
"Because it has no other weaknesses!" Wang Xuexin said: "We can only sneak attack from the Salt Lake."
Sun Erwei nodded and said: "This is an impressive battle. You have completed an almost impossible task. But this is not why I came to you. I want to know what you used to sneak attack on Salt Lake."
Amphibious landing craft, okay?"
Seeing Wang Xuexin's hesitation, Sun Erwei explained: "Actually, I was thinking about a problem. I'm not sure whether we can use this kind of amphibious landing ship in the future!"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied without thinking.
The amphibious landing craft was invented by Yingjiang in history, and they will be used on a large scale in the Pacific battlefield.
But at this time, Yingjiang didn't realize this yet.
In fact, Yingjiang has developed such an amphibious landing craft, but this kind of amphibious landing craft has not been taken seriously because it is considered that its anti-sinking, wind and wave resistance and armor cannot meet the requirements of the military. The military believes that they are very
It is difficult to survive on the battlefield.
However, due to an accidental situation, it was said that it was a rescue operation that was trapped in a shoal. When all ships were helpless, this amphibious landing ship easily rescued people, which made the military determined to use it into the army.
As a result, the production volume reached more than 20,000 vehicles, and it was highly praised among the troops.
At this time, the reason why Sun Erwei asked such a question was because he had this doubt: whether the army needs this kind of amphibious landing ship.
Wang Xuexin brought Sun Erwei to the office and handed Sun Erwei the initial design sketch.
Sun Erwei was surprised after taking it. He looked at the sketch and then at Wang Xuexin and said, "You may not believe it, Wang, we also have an amphibious landing craft like this, but we don't plan to mass-produce it!"
"
"Why?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"That's it!" Sun Erwei explained: "Our future battlefield is the Pacific Ocean. One day, if we can use it, we should use it to conduct island landing operations in the Pacific Ocean. Can you imagine the scene at that time?
That's not a salt lake, Wang, that's the Pacific Ocean, wind and waves, artillery shells, machine guns, these things will sink all amphibious landing ships! So, we don't think it will have much effect."
When Wang Xuexin heard this, he understood that because Yingjiang didn't have much actual combat experience, he always imagined the battlefield he would face in the future in the most extreme situations.
There is no problem in doing this. As long as you imagine the battlefield to be more scary, extreme or complex, you can make more preparations.
But things often have two sides.
If you think about the battlefield too extreme, you will deviate from the positioning of weapons and equipment.
For example, amphibious landing ships are obviously very useful, but under this kind of imagination, they become ineffective... The fact is that Eagle Sauce will encounter little resistance during landing operations, because they will use naval guns before landing.
They bombed the island they were about to land on for several days.
Wang Xuexin cannot say this because he cannot predict the future.
But Wang Xuexin still had a way to convince Sun Erwei.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xuexin said: "Maybe we can discuss it after the troops land!"
"After landing?" Sun Erwei was a little surprised: "After landing, doesn't it mean that we have the advantage?"
At this time, Yingjiang had no actual combat experience. Like the Japanese at this time, they thought that the most difficult part of the landing operation was the landing stage. Once they landed, the next battle would be easy.
But this is not the case.
Wang Xuexin said: "Think about it, Sun Erwei. If the enemy does not concentrate its main force on the coastline to block the attack but conserves its strength, when your troops land on the island, there will be a large amount of supplies above the warships but cannot be transported to the troops landing on the island because there is no dock.
However, at this moment the enemy launches a counterattack, what will happen to your troops landing on the island?"
After hearing this, Sun Erwei froze in place for a long time and was speechless.
This is indeed very likely to happen, because Yingjiang can use naval guns to blast the coastal defense line, so the enemy will inevitably transfer its main force to the island to preserve its strength.
At other times, the enemy's main force did not dare to act rashly because they were afraid of the warships' guns.
However, if after the Yingjiang army lands, the enemy launches a counterattack and quickly gets mixed up with the Yingjiang army, then the naval guns will be completely useless.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed:
There is a sea at the rear of Yingjiang's army and there is no way to retreat, because it is difficult to get supplies even across the sea.
On the other hand, the enemy can advance, attack, retreat or defend. At the same time, they still have a large amount of ammunition reserves on the island and do not need to worry about supply issues.
In this way, how can the Eagle Sauce Army, which relies heavily on supplies, not lose?
"It would be different if there was an amphibious landing ship at this time!" Wang Xuexin said: "The amphibious landing ship can easily climb up the shoal with supplies, and even be used as a car on the shore and inside the island, transporting ammunition and troops directly from the warship
into the hands of the troops."
Then Wang Xuexin spread his hands and said: "Now, do you still think it is useless?"
