Seeing that Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand, Cai Yi didn't care much, and simply explained to Yang Yuanzhao that defense is synonymous with weakness and concession on some Cheng dù, but it does not mean retreat and surrender, in some Cheng dù, this may be the best way that Kamio Guangchen can think of.

The Japanese did not think that the Northwest Army set up an ambush here, and suddenly the battery that suddenly appeared, armed as a hedgehog, was caught off guard, and a large number of battleships did not run out of the attack range of the battery at all, and they were hit by accurate artillery, and the strength of the combined fleet lost more than half, and the rest was attacked by submarines and the Northwest Navy together, and the losses were exhausted, and the ability to escort the troop carriers was lost, so that the troop carriers loaded with munitions and soldiers directly faced the submarines in the northwest, and finally rushed to the shore, But more than a third has been lost, and a lot of supplies and equipment have been lost.

If it was just like this, Kamio Mitsutomi would not have made such a choice, tens of thousands of troops would have been able to run away, but then, in the face of the monitoring of the airship, he had to choose to divide the troops, and the result was cast, and the remaining army was less than half, only more than 20,000 soldiers, no matter what, he couldn't escape the encirclement, so he had to choose to save his life first.

Defending is always easier than attacking, and the casualties are few, not to mention the fact that he has formed a solid line of defense with the help of troop carriers. Mitsutomi Kamio is very confident in the 18th Division, thinking that this 18th Division, with the help of the defensive line formed by troop carriers, can withstand several times the attack, and they can survive a few days, waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese base camp, in Mitsutomi Kamio's opinion. It is impossible for the base camp to abandon them.

After understanding the purpose of the god tail Mitsuki, Yang Yuanzhao's face. More or less worried, but Cai Ye didn't worry too much. If the Northwest Army still stays in Beiyang and the revolutionary party, this goal of Mitsutomi Kamio should be achievable, because of the gap in firepower and training, if the 30,000 Japanese troops who have undergone strict training want to defend, 10 times the army may not be able to take it, and in the future, when the Japanese navy supports, it can even faintly counterattack. Kamio Mitsutomi would not have thought that the combined fleet, which the Japanese army was proud of, had been completely annihilated. The rest of the fleet is old or decommissioned, whether it can be driven out or not, or two different things, let's just say that the army, the Northwest Army has surpassed the Japanese army, even if you choose the most stupid, with the method of strong attack, you can defeat the 18th Division in a short time, not to mention that there are other ways. The difference is just how much it costs.

"Songpo, you don't want to use planes, if you use large-caliber aerial bombs. It should be possible to blow up here. Yang Yuanzhao was full of confidence when he said that the aircraft is the killer weapon of the Northwest, and the largest aircraft is currently carrying 2.5 tons. Can carry the largest 1.8 tons of aerial bombs to the present Shandong. 80% of the aircraft of the entire Northwest Air Force are concentrated, and there are 1,100 such large aircraft. There are also more than 2,000 aircraft with other payloads, which can carry 5,000 tons of aerial bombs if they all take off at once. If it is a ship, 5,000 tons, but it is an entry-level level, in the 10,000-ton class, even 30,000 tons, or even 50,000 tons of ships are emerging in an endless stream, 5,000 tons have long since withdrawn from the mainstream ocean shipping stage, at most only in remote areas, or some remote routes on the operation, but to the Air Force, this is terrible, 5,000 tons, almost equivalent to 5,000 rounds of large-caliber naval guns, you know, the historical Battle of Jutland, the two sides fought so fiercely, many battleships, There weren't many shells fired either.

In other countries in the world, airplanes are also regarded as toys, such as Japan, there are airplanes, all of which are lightweight, the kind that can only carry one person to the sky, but the northwest has turned over, and the load capacity of several tons directly allows the aircraft to cross the level of toys of the initial enthusiasts, and suddenly enter the war level, the airship has demonstrated its strength in the air combat, flying faster, and the aircraft that is not easy to be attacked, you know, the airship is at most in the airspace of 4000 meters, in this airspace, It is also possible to attack, it is certainly impossible for ordinary machine guns, but the size of the bullet is increased, the muzzle velocity is increased, and it is specifically aimed at anti-aircraft machine guns in the air, such machine guns can barely reach a height of several thousand meters, but when this number is increased to 10,000, or even 13,000, it is basically impossible to design to the field, at least the current technology is not good.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that the aircraft relies on high-altitude and high-speed to be able to occupy the main force in the air, and those bombers in later generations, which one is not high-altitude and high-speed, above the space level, you can't reach it, even if the weapon is advanced, how can it, so in the case of studying twin-engine bombers, the first consideration is the performance of high-altitude and high-speed, which must be able to rise to a certain high altitude, and the speed cannot be too slow, and there is no deliberate pursuit of load, which is of course because the northwest has realized the relationship between the bomber-level loadOtherwise, it wouldn't be so easy.

"Not for now!" Of course, Cai Ye knew Yang Yuanzhao's intentions, that's right, the other party shrank into a ball, relying on the landing ships as protection, and could use large-caliber artillery to attack, but the effect was not as fast as the air force, a 1.8-ton aerial bomb, projected from a height of 10,000 meters, the power was even more violent than the 500 mm caliber artillery, plus the problem of charge, the power was enough, and those thin-skinned ocean-going cargo ships could not resist at all. When these ships were blown up, whether the Japanese army could survive or not was a matter of two theories.

"Don't worry, isn't it 30,000 people, as long as you don't keep prisoners!" Yang Yuanzhao is only Cai Yi worried about the leakage of secrets, since he turned the plane over, it is used, look at the picture on the defense, if the plane is not used, just by virtue of the landing firepower, it is not easy to fight down, at least it will cause a batch of casualties, the pension in the northwest is quite high, any little casualty, represents a large amount of financial expenditure of the northwest government, one-time and follow-up, in this case, can reduce casualties, reduce casualties, this is what the northwest has always done.

"It's not a matter of leaks, Yuan Zhao, I think they came here, and it was an opportunity for us to surround these Japanese troops." Cai Yi's calm words, gently broke the purpose, surrounded but did not fight, and left the Japanese army to see if it could make a breakthrough......

Fenced in? Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible, but suddenly figured it out in a blink of an eye, Cai Yi's intention was very simple, to leave the Japanese soldiers inside as bait. Ancient Chinese military has a long history, there are many different methods of encirclement and warfare, as long as this part of the Japanese army is left, no matter what, the Japanese army will come to the rescue, really not to save, that is better, starving for dozens of days, the isolated Japanese army can not hold on, as for the Japanese army's assistance, it is better, if you can use Qingdao, a place that has been operating in the northwest for a long time, to give Japan continuous bloodletting, for the northwest, it is the best choice, maybe it will play a great role.

"Since Songpa has decided like this, then I fully support it, what do you need me to do?" Yang Yuanzhao also showed a fox-like smile on his face and said. Sure enough, it was General Cai, who thought really thoroughly, and in a short period of time, he thought of such an excellent method, if he attacked, there would always be damage, and the cost of 5,000 tons of aerial bombs and thousands of planes taking off was not small, and he surrounded him and waited for the rescue of the Japanese side, which was not only more economical, but also might even expand the results of the war, and it would be great if Japan sent the remaining navy and ships.

Cai Yi smiled knowingly and said, "I need 3 divisions of engineers!" ”

"No problem, I will give you 3 armies, all kinds of materials, all guarantees!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a wave of his hand.

The Northwest Engineering Division, although it is an army establishment, but each one is much larger than the army, each division is almost 70,000 people, with more than 1,500 large and small motor vehicles, can build a qiē building including railway bridges, 3 armies, almost 1 million people, close to 20,000 vehicles of different sizes, if for a construction of one or two hundred square kilometers of the area, can easily form a series of defense lines, of course, it is certainly not a permanent defense line at first, just a sketch, The real front line of the gradually deepening line of defense was the temporary digging of the army, and when this outer line of defense was constructed, it was difficult for the Japanese troops to fly unless they had swam across the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan.

"The rest?"

"Don't do it, I'll let the Japanese soldiers here can't fly off even if they put on their wings." Cai Yi laughed loudly, and then steadily issued a series of orders, through the guò radio waves, transmitted to the surrounding troops, after receiving the telegram, itself stuck in the defense line of the northwest army also began to move, did not encounter the Japanese army at night, had long been a little anxious troops, heard the order, immediately moved, 6 regiments and a division, a total of 42,000 people, because of the arrival of the first division, and evenly distributed.

At the forefront was the 1st Division, they did not catch the battle last night, and by the time they arrived, the 89th Division had already been annihilated, and even the division commanders Koizumi Masaho and Kawamura Sogoro were captured, which was simply never encountered by the 1st Division, and now the order received is not to attack, but to press as much as possible, strive to achieve a complete encirclement of the Japanese army, and resolutely strike in the event of an attack.

Maybe you can meet the Japanese army who is not long-sighted, this is the idea of the commander of the first division, he has several regiments, divided into different directions, interdependent, layer by layer inward breakthrough, rapid Tongguò has been reconnoitred, there is no trace of the Japanese army in the open zone, by the way, the remnants of the Japanese army, to take down, gradually advance towards the place where the Japanese army landed, the initial goal is five kilometers at the landing site.
