Bright Sword Military System

Wang Xuexin's preparations were not limited to the airport. He immediately issued two more orders.

The first order was that Fengtian, Xinjing and Dalian Third Company urgently mobilized another group of soldiers.

After the Eighth Route Army entered the Northeast, troop recruitment has never been a problem. Wang Xuexin has always demanded higher quality of troop sources and has not allowed more recruitment for the sake of people's livelihood. Otherwise, recruiting another hundred thousand militiamen will be trivial.

Now that the situation is urgent, there is no need to think so much, and [-] militiamen have been recruited for defense.

Of these [-] militiamen, ten thousand are placed between Fengtian and Dalian, and ten thousand are placed between Fengtian and Xingjing.

They were placed in these two positions because they were worried that the Japs would cross between them and cut off the connection between the three. While building fortifications, they were training with old guns seized from the Japs... These guns were disdained by the Eighth Route Army because of their poor condition, and they had been using them ever since they were seized. It was kept in the warehouse for later use, but now I reluctantly took it out for use.

There are also ten thousand placed in Fengtian, which are used to defend the city.

At this time, Fengtian had two arsenals and an oil refinery, which could be said to be the core of the Eighth Route Army's fuel and ammunition. If the enemy captured this place, the Eighth Route Army's offensive would be greatly affected.

Therefore, the correct strategy for the Japs would be to take Fengtian at all costs... The distance from Donggang to Fengtian is only more than 200 kilometers. Using captured cars to travel day and night, the Japs may only need three or four days to reach the city, even with the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes. The bombing also has to go all the way.

Once the Japanese capture the Fengtian Eighth Route Army, it will be difficult to support the ammunition and fuel consumption of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. At that time, problems may occur on the three defense lines of the east, north, and south at the same time.

If the battle ends like this, not even Wang Xuexin will be able to save himself.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not do this.

This was not only because Wang Xuexin ordered the 271st and 272nd regiments to build the airport to hold back the Japanese, but also because the Japanese had insufficient intelligence work and did not know that Fengtian only had one regiment.

This also shows that the Fengtian militia is very effective... The Fengtian militia not only maintains law and order, but also catches traitors.

The Eighth Route Army had no idea who was a traitor or who might be a traitor, but the militiamen organized by local people knew it very well.

And this work is not only done by the militia, men, women, old and young are supervising suspicious elements overtly and covertly.

Wang Xuexin's second order was to prepare the Fourth Aviation Group in Xinjing to bomb Japanese transport ships.

The Japanese did not consider this.

The reason is that Xinjing is more than 400 kilometers away from Donggang and is outside the combat radius of "La 5".

But what the Japanese did not consider is that the "La 5" actually has two combat radii: when used in air combat, its combat radius is 300 kilometers, but when used for bombing, its combat radius can reach more than 400 and nearly 500 kilometers.

The distance between Xingjing and Donggang is exactly within the "La 5" bombing combat radius.

But of course, Wang Xuexin did not ask the Fourth Air Force to directly bomb.

Wang Xuexin ordered the Fifth Air Force, the "J-2", to attack. All six "J-2" took off and flew to the north of Donggang. They circled around the edge of the Japanese warship's air defense range and looked like they were building an airport for the Eighth Route Army. Provide air cover.

This move of the Eighth Route Army made Ozawa Jisaburo very nervous, because it was worried that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft missiles would follow this new fighter plane to bomb its fleet.

Therefore, Ozawa Jisaburo ordered the "Zero War" to take off urgently and prepare to intercept missiles, but they must hover within the warship's air defense range and be on standby.

In fact, there is no need for Ozawa Jisaburo to say this. "Zero War" knows that they are not opponents of the Eighth Route Army's new fighters at all, and will not easily leave the air defense range of warships.

At the same time, Ozawa Jisaburo also ordered the warship radar to lock on the Eighth Route Army's new fighter jets and observe their movements.

Jisaburo Ozawa was worried that the Eighth Route Army's new fighter jets would suddenly break into its air defense range and knock out several "Zero Fighters" before flying away.

For a fighter jet with a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, the 19-kilometer air defense range is only more than a minute, and it only takes two or three minutes to fly in and fly out again.

Of course, the warship's anti-aircraft guns, machine guns and other anti-aircraft firepower are also in place.

However, just when all of Ozawa Jisaburo's attention was focused on the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes, the communications unit suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General, our transport fleet was bombed by Eighth Route Army fighter planes!"

"What?" Saburo Sawaji, who was holding a telescope to observe the new Eighth Route Army fighter planes, heard this and quickly put down the telescope and grabbed the telegram. After looking at it for a while, he looked at the new Eighth Route Army fighter planes in the sky as if he was mocking him and cursed: "Asshole, we were fooled. Got it!"

The Fourth Air Force of the Eighth Route Army approached the Japanese transport fleet at low altitude.

Because they were approaching at low altitude, the Japanese radar could not detect them. At the same time, the radar soldiers were all focused on the direction of the "J-2" and did not take into account the blank space on the other side, so they targeted more than 5 "La-[-]"s from the Fourth Aviation Group of the Eighth Route Army. Close without noticing.

At that time, the Japanese transport fleet, also known as the "Wooden Extra Large Ship", was sailing more than thirty kilometers into the Yalu River to transport troops...

Although the closest distance between Bangzi and Donggang is only a dozen kilometers, most of the Japanese troops are concentrated on the banks of the Yalu River.

At this time, if you choose to let the troops march to the nearest point to board the ship, it will undoubtedly be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and these [-] kilometers will only take more than an hour for a wooden giant.

In order to allow more troops to land in Donggang faster and more quickly, Seishiro Sakagaki ordered the wooden giant to enter the Yalu River to transport troops.

This shipment is for troops.

In Seishiro Sakagaki's heart, he always hoped to have extra troops to penetrate the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army, so he always spared no effort to transport more troops:

"Didn't Ozawa hope that ground troops would cooperate with carrier-based aircraft to suppress the Eighth Route Army airport?"

"If I meet his request and send additional troops to penetrate, he will have nothing to say!"

……

And the faster the better, otherwise the gap will be filled by the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, Sakagaki Seishiro ordered the wooden extra-large engines to be transported day and night. He worked hard all night last night to transport more than half of the air defense troops and anti-aircraft firepower. If it were not for the shortage of fuel, even the ammunition would have been transported.

Early this morning, Sakagaki Seishiro began to transport infantry.

They can transport 5000 people at a time... Some of the transport ships need to transport war horses and cars. Only in this way can the march speed be accelerated. Then it only takes two trips back and forth to transport enough troops for insertion.

The round trip takes about four hours, plus loading and unloading supplies takes about five hours.

If everything goes well, the Eighth Route Army can be penetrated tonight.

While Sakagaki Seishiro was looking at the map and planning the intervening route, the correspondent suddenly reported nervously: "Your Excellency, General, we have discovered that a large number of Eighth Route Army fighter planes are flying towards our army's transport fleet!"

"What?" Seishiro Sakagaki was shocked, and then ordered: "Notify Lieutenant General Ozawa immediately!"
