Bright Sword Military System

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda even exceeded the strength requested by Yoshijiro Umezu. In addition to sending two aircraft carriers, two cruisers and four destroyers, he also sent two aviation battleships: Ise and Hyuga.

The so-called aviation warships are warships converted from battleships during World War I into warships that can take off fighter jets.

However, it cannot be called an "aircraft carrier", because it only converted the rear turret into a hangar and runway for fighter jets to take off, and the front still maintains a tall island and main gun.

This kind of modification must have limitations. Its 70-meter-long flight deck can only eject and take off fighter planes but cannot land. The bombs can be dive-bombed. If they are recovered, they can land on the water and be hoisted back to the mothership with a crane.

Fubu Takeshi Toyota plans this way:

The fleet can be divided into two batches, each with an aircraft carrier, an aviation battleship, a light cruiser and two destroyers, and then attack the Dalian shipyard and port respectively.

Deputy Toyoda assigned their responsibilities.

Light cruiser seaplanes are used for reconnaissance and support operations.

The aircraft carrier is mainly responsible for competing for air supremacy.

Aviation warships are responsible for bombing the Eighth Route warships.

Destroyers are used to carry "man-operated missiles" to assist aviation warships and aircraft carriers to bomb Eighth Route Army warships.

Objectively speaking, if the Eighth Route Army's missiles do not work due to interference, Toyota Fubu's plan is indeed very lethal.

Because the Eighth Route Army has only one aircraft carrier, one light cruiser and four destroyers.

With the missiles out of action, no matter whether it is air combat, long-distance combat, or close combat, this fleet cannot confront any fleet of the Devils.

In air combat, the devil's "zero battle" completely defeated the "wild cat".

For long-distance combat, the devils have "Ruiyun" water bombers and "man-operated missiles".

In close combat, the devil's "aircraft battleship" can be used as a battleship...

And the devils attacked the port and the shipyard at the same time, so the Eighth Route Army fleet could only choose to defend against one of them.

Wang Xuexin soon received information about the Devils fleet's battle.

The information this time is very detailed, even the devils sent two aircraft carriers "Ruihe" and "Ruifeng" to know.

The information was given by Ying Jiang.

The reason why Yingjiang knows such details is because this is the bait that Halsey chased and lost before... The devil used four aircraft carriers to lure Halsey to fight, but Halsey was "persuaded to return" by Wang Xuexin halfway, the devil The fleet sailed all the way to the island.

This time it was two of the aircraft carriers that fought.

Since then, Eagle Sauce has been using submarines and intelligence units to pay attention to the movements of these aircraft carriers, so they received the news as soon as the devils were dispatched.

Zhang Zongping calculated on the map for a while, and then reported: "Commander, judging from the course of the devils, their targets are likely to be the shipyard and the port respectively!"

Wang Xuexin said "hmm" and didn't speak.

He tapped his fingers on the table, making a rhythmic "clack" sound, then stopped suddenly after a while, and said: "Withdraw the supplies from the port, and in addition, order the 'La 5' fighter jets at Zhoushuizi Airport to prepare for the defense of the fleet." !"

Zhang Zongping looked at Wang Xuexin suspiciously: "Captain, our laser-guided missiles have been sent to Dalian in time, and they can completely repel the devil fleet. Why do we need to use 'La 5' to help defend?"

To be precise, the laser-guided missiles were not delivered in time, but the missiles in Dalian have been partially upgraded.

This was Su Xin's idea.

She said this: "If we redesign the missiles, it means that all the non-laser-guided missiles on the front line will be completely useless. The waste of these missiles is second to none. It takes a lot of capacity to transport the missiles from Taiyuan to Dalian, and then transport them up again. It is not something that can be completed in a short time. Therefore, we should consider upgrading it instead of re-developing it!"

It is actually not difficult to do this. For example, the fuze of the proximity-fuzed artillery shell only needs to be replaced, and the anti-ship missile only needs to replace the camera and data transmission module with a laser receiving device and then connect it to the flight control system.

The problem is assembling and testing... After these parts are shipped to Dalian, almost no one will install them.

For this reason, the Institute had to work overtime to train a group of technicians to send to the missile force in Dalian.

These technicians are so busy that they hardly even have time to sleep a wink, and they have to work overtime as soon as the parts arrive.

Up to now, there are more than 300 laser-guided anti-ship missiles and the number is still increasing. In addition, the air-to-air missiles have also been upgraded in time. These are enough to sink the two fleets of the Devils.

But Wang Xuexin felt that this was too cheap for a devil.

"The devil's target is not actually the shipyard and the port!" Wang Xuexin said.

Zhang Zongping asked in confusion: "Isn't it these two places?"

"If Fengtian is still in the hands of the devils, these two places are very important to the devils!" Wang Xuexin said: "But now that we have recovered Fengtian, most of the materials in the port have been scattered to various places and only a small part remains. The defense was strengthened with the naval guns removed from the 'Musashi', what good will it do for the devils to attack these two places?"

Zhang Zongping didn't think about this problem, because these two places have always been the focus of the devil's attack, that is, the focus of Dalian's defense.

But now that Wang Xuexin said so, it seems that this is really the case, attacking these two places is meaningless to the devils.

Wang Xuexin went on to say: "They actually want to destroy our coastal defense regiment first. With our coastal defense regiment, their fleet will be attacked at any time. Once our navy's coastal defense regiment is wiped out, they can safely use the navy to cooperate with the army to break through. Our defense line!"

As he spoke, Wang Xuexin pointed to two locations on the map: "Here, the HLD defense line. And here, the Dandong and Donggang defense lines!"

Looking at the map, Zhang Zongping understood.

The HLD line of defense is the line of defense of the Eighth Route Army against the Devil's North China Front Army.

The defense lines of Dandong and Donggang are used to block the devils from reinforcements from the direction of Bangzi.

Since the Eighth Route Army has air and sea dominance... the dominance of the sea is achieved by using anti-ship missiles. Although there are no warships, the anti-ship missiles can prevent the devil's transport ships from approaching, so they cannot land.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for the Devils Army to break through these two lines of defense, so the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army were able to fight in the Northeast, making the Devils Kwantung Army into a mess.

If the Devil fleet appears behind these two lines of defense and breaks the Eighth Route Army's air and sea control, the Devil's naval guns can even directly bomb the rear of the Eighth Route Army's defense line, and "man-operated missiles" can bomb the Eighth Route Army. , so the Eighth Route Army can still defend these lines of defense?
