Wang Xuexin did not directly make the request to Lemon Lokov, but directly made the request in a forced exchange, which was a bit hurtful.
Wang Xuexin followed Lemon Lokov's words and said: "Comrade Lemon Lokov, if we have common enemies and common interests, you can't just sit idly by when our army is in danger, right?"
Although Lemon Lokov is a newbie, he has been in China for a long time and can be regarded as half a China expert. As soon as he heard this, he understood what Wang Xuexin meant and asked without thinking: "Of course
, Comrade Wang Xuexin! If you need anything, we will be happy to help you. As long as we can, we will definitely help!"
Then Lemon Lokov asked: "Do you need tanks?"
There was a reason why Lemonlokov thought of tanks first. He thought that some of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army should have been lost by now, and they should be urgently needed to replenish them at this time.
In this regard, Lemonlokov can directly make decisions for the general counsel.
Although Mao Xiong is also in urgent need of tanks, Mao Xiong often has hundreds or thousands of tanks, which are piled up by quantity. The Eighth Route Army only has a few backward T26 tanks, and only ten T34 tanks can meet its needs.
This little thing is just drizzle to a furry bear and can almost be ignored.
Wang Xuexin felt a pity. Although he also wanted to get a few more T34s, the more important thing at this time was not this... If there were no fighters and one-sided demand for tanks, the result would be that the tanks would only become targets for the enemy and would be difficult to use.
effect.
Therefore, the stance must be firm. The focus is on air superiority. It only makes sense to have tanks when the airspace is safe. Otherwise, we will have to abandon Yuncheng and return to the mountains to fight guerrillas with the Japanese.
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but say something in his mind: "Damn it, people can't help themselves in the world!"
No wonder Wang Xuexin thinks so. Although the Eighth Route Army had a hard time fighting guerrillas in the mountainous areas, the overall combat mode was relatively simple. It was to deal with the Japanese and persist in the war behind enemy lines, and then suddenly disrupt the enemy's communication lines.
The losses were heavy.
However, with the growth of the Eighth Route Army, the troops gradually moved out of the mountainous areas and occupied the important plain area of Yuncheng, and the battlefield moved from the enemy's rear to the frontal battlefield.
Once on the frontal battlefield, although the weapons and equipment are much better than before, the danger level is not much worse than before, or even worse.
The reason is that this sacrifices a lot of flexibility in guerrilla warfare and requires a head-on confrontation with the Japanese.
For example, the Luliang Mountain Defense Line, and the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line... When the Japanese invaded, the Eighth Route Army could retreat, lead the Japanese into mountainous areas with complex terrain, and then divide, surround, and annihilate them in pieces. There were also tunnels, tunnels, and reverse slopes.
With the coordination of fortifications and so on, if it is really impossible to open a hole for the Japanese to enter, the Japanese may not even dare to break through.
But Yuncheng is different.
As soon as Yuncheng retreats, copper, iron, and salt will be gone immediately, and the defense lines of Zhongtiao Mountain and Luliang Mountain will be cut off.
So I could only grit my teeth and hold on.
To be honest, it was a bit hard for Wang Xuexin to hold on, because the Japanese had state machines and industrial machines behind them, so they had a large error tolerance. If they lost a battle, they could start over, and again if they lost again...
But as long as the Eighth Route Army loses one battle, it is likely that there will never be a chance to come back again.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin let out a long sigh and said to Lemon Lokov: "No, Comrade Lemon Lokov, our biggest problem now is actually the inability to establish an effective early warning for the airport in the direction of the stubborn troops.
This puts Wanxian Airport in a passive position. If your army can provide help to our army in this regard, our department will be grateful!"
Lemonlokov said "Oh" and nodded.
He had also heard about the Japanese bombers flying from the territory of the Recalcitrant Army to the territory of the Eighth Route Army to bomb its airport. This was indeed a very difficult problem for the Eighth Route Army, because it meant that the rear was attacked by sneak attacks and could not defend itself.
The army joined forces to fight the Eighth Route Army.
This made Lemon Lokov feel a little strange. At this time, the stubborn army was still thinking of using the enemy to eradicate their dissidents.
Lemon Lokov hesitated for a moment, because establishing an early warning mechanism is not simple. Although the Eighth Route Army has only one airport, Japanese planes can fly over any route of the stubborn army. In addition, the number of Mao Xiong advisory groups is insufficient, and it is also very difficult.
It was difficult to provide the Eighth Route Army with a sufficiently rigorous early warning.
Lemon Lokov thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, Comrade Wang Xuexin! I will report this matter to Comrade General Counsel to see if he has any way to solve this problem."
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin agreed readily.
He knew that this was something beyond Lemonlokov's ability. Lemonlovkov's willingness to report to the General Counsel proved that he had enough sincerity to solve the problem.
The general counsel also frowned when he heard this question.
That's not to say the general counsel isn't willing.
In fact, if Wang Xuexin's tactics of using rockets were known and transferred to the Mao Xiong aviation, the value this could create for Mao Xiong could be said to be immeasurable, especially Hans's tactics still used a large number of tanks to break through Mao Xiong's defense line.
Therefore, the general counsel believes that no price is too high to pay for this tactic.
However, at this time, Mao Xiong's early warning mechanism was also very backward... Mao Xiong's radar development started late and basically relied on human eye observation.
But the results observed with the human eye are just as Lemonlokov feared, requiring a large number of manpower to spread out in the area controlled by the recalcitrant troops.
As the advisory group of the stubborn army, even Mao Xiong would not dare to offend the stubborn army so blatantly, and it is impossible for the stubborn army to sit back and watch the establishment of these outposts without disturbing them.
Therefore, using manual warning is definitely the last resort.
The general counsel stared at the map blankly for a while, and then thought that Mao Xiong had an advisory group in Xi'an. If a mobile radar station could be set up in Xi'an without telling the stubborn army... this would basically solve the problem.
Thinking of this, the general counsel immediately ordered: "To generate electricity, request a rus2 from China!"
"rus2?" The staff officer looked at the general counsel in surprise: "But, comrade general counsel, we only have 12 such radars, and they are all used to defend Moscow!"
rus2 is a vehicle-mounted radar newly developed by Maoxiong. Because it has only been developed for more than a year, the quantity is very small. (Note: rus2 was successfully developed at the end of 1940)
"I am also defending Moscow!" The general counsel interrupted the staff officer without thinking: "I am trying to exchange one rus2 for twelve, no... I should say dozens!"
The general counsel cursed in his mind: "These short-sighted guys, they don't understand how important this tactic is!"
