Chapter 509: The Picture is Poor
Chapter 509 is exhausted
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
This morning, Professor Zhu Kezhen had told Yue Weihan with great certainty that by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the rainy weather that had been raging for many days would come to an end, but I don't know why, Yue Weihan's heart suddenly felt a faint uneasiness.
Why the restlessness? Because the performance of the Kwantung Army is very abnormal!
The encirclement and suppression of the 4th Army only showed a posture of ambition at first, and later after the Chinese Air Force urgently airdropped military supplies, the Kwantung Army seemed to ignore it a little, and only ordered more than 20 mountain divisions to hold the various Jiāo passages leading to the mountains, and then there was nothing more.
Moreover, in the past half a month, although the Kwantung Army has also launched a large-scale attack on Siye, when the battle was at its most fierce, it even once approached Tianjin, and almost rescued several crippled divisions trapped in Tianjin, but at the critical moment, the 8th Army under the command of Commander-in-Chief Li played a beautiful game, and Bī retreated from the Kwantung Army.
However, from Yue Weihan's eyes, it can naturally be seen that the Kwantung Army did not do its best at all!
Don't look at these attacks, the Kwantung Army invested tanks and heavy artillery, the largest attack, even more than 8 tank divisions and 18 heavy artillery brigades, more than 2,500 tanks and more than 2,000 mén heavy artillery to participate in the attack, but as a strategic weapon, the Tiger heavy tank no longer has a face!
This is a little weird, doesn't the Kwantung Army know the strategic position of the North China Plain?
Could it be that this old devil Okamura Ninji doesn't know the threat of the North China Airport to the four eastern provinces!?
This is obviously impossible, Yue Weihan and Okamura Ningci, the old devil, have been fighting Jiāo Dao for a day or two, no one knows better than Yue Weihan how difficult this old devil is, in terms of fighter capture ability and tactical command ability, Okamura Ningci may be slightly inferior to Yue Weihan, but in terms of strategic vision, it is by no means half a point better than Yue Weihan, and even better!
At the beginning in North China, if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese army base camp and Tojo Hideki were short-sighted, Okamura Ninji was transferred out of North China at the most critical moment, and it was really unknown whether Yue Weihan would be able to hold the Taihang base in the end.
Therefore, with Okamura Ningji's strength, it is impossible not to see the threat of North China to the four eastern provinces!
Unless, Okamura Ninji already has a weapon to counter the Chinese Air Force, such as ...... ME262 Jet Fighter!
However, Yue Weihan soon overturned this assumption, the ME262 jet fighter is not a Tiger heavy tank, even if Germany now controls the whole of Europe, the industrial manufacturing capacity and resource integration capacity have been reborn compared with the historical improvement, but it is impossible to build too many jet fighters in a short period of time.
Until now, the Luftwaffe was still at a clear disadvantage in the Mediterranean theater, and although the jet fighters were majestic in air combat, they were not many after all, and it was impossible to suppress the hundreds of thousands of piston fighters of the United States and Britain in the Allied forces with only a few hundred jet fighters, and at least for now, Germany would never be able to provide jet fighters to Japan.
"Boss, do you think the performance of this old devil is a little abnormal?" I don't know when, Mr. Li has already stood by Yue Weihan's side.
Since the confrontation between Siye and the Kwantung Army in eastern Hebei, Mr. Li's military talent finally has a stage to give full play, and the bold piercing of the 8th Armored Division ordered three days ago was praised by Yue Weihan as a stroke of genius, forcing the Kwantung Army's armored cluster to retreat in one fell swoop, turning Tianjin into a safe place, and Mr. Li has become more and more entrenched with the heritage and temperament of a generation of famous generals.
Yue Weihan smiled and said, "What, do you also think that the Kwantung Army didn't do its best?" ”
Mr. Li nodded and analyzed: "The Kwantung Army's recent offences seem to be rapid, but they obviously lack stamina, and the direct manifestation is that the armored cluster is somewhat disconnected from the infantry division, and the follow-up of logistics support is a little slow, so I judge that if it is not the poor quality of the Kwantung Army, it is obvious that the Japanese top brass has no intention of advancing westward in a big way." ”
Yue Weihan nodded, and said in a quiet voice: "The Kwantung Army is a Japanese army, and its quality is not bad. ”
"That's Umezu Mijiro or Okamura Ninji who are unwilling to go west." Mr. Li said categorically.
"I think so too." Yue Weihan nodded, and said, "But the reason for this is quite difficult to think about." ”
Li Zongsui also fell silent, although he can be called an unborn military genius, especially for the battle of the large corps, he has a keen sense of smell that is almost like a beast's intuition, but after all, he has to be subject to the limitations of this era, unlike Yue Weihan, who traveled from later generations, and has a deeper understanding of the coordinated operations of the navy and army.
…………
Shanhaiguan, the front command of the Kwantung Army.
Yoshitomi Tamura, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, reported the weather forecast to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency Marshal, according to the forecast of meteorological experts, this rainy weather will end tomorrow evening, that is, from the morning after tomorrow, the Shina Air Force will be able to provide air cover for the ground forces in North China. ”
Okamura Ninji just nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
Nakazawa Mifu next to him said: "Fortunately, most of the tank divisions and heavy artillery brigades of our Kwantung Army have retreated to the western Liaoning corridor, and now the southeast branch of Yanshan Mountain and dozens of radar base stations in western Liaoning have been basically completed, and the Chinese Air Force wants to dispatch bombers to deal with our tank and heavy artillery units, I am afraid it will not be so easy." ”
"Still can't be taken lightly." Okamura Ninji suddenly waved his hand and said, "The radar base station can only help our Kwantung Army aviation to give accurate warnings in advance, but it cannot be directly transformed into air force combat power, so once the China Air Force carries out large-scale cluster bombing at any cost, it will still be enough to severely damage our armored cluster and heavy artillery cluster." ”
"Your Excellency, Marshal, please rest assured." Sanfu Nakazawa suddenly bowed his head and said, "The chariot units and heavy artillery units of all the armies stationed in Shanhaiguan have all entered the underground base or the dense forest base and are hidden, not only can they support the front line of Shanhaiguan at any time, but it is also difficult to find it with the reconnaissance aircraft of the China Air Force alone." ”
"Yo Si." Okamura Ninji patted Nakazawa Mitsuo on the shoulder, and said happily, "Nakazawa-kun, as long as you hold on for another two months, the fortress fortifications of the Liaoxi Corridor, the southeast branch of Yanshan Mountain, Changbai Mountain, and Huanbo Bay will all be completed, and then Manchukuo will really become impregnable, hehe." ”
…………
Just after noon the next day, the rain really stopped, and the yīn clouds that hung over the sky finally showed signs of dissipating.
Yue Weihan was anxious to find out the specific movements of the Kwantung Army, and immediately ordered the 1st Aviation Division and the 4th Aviation Division to dispatch eight reconnaissance planes from Nanyuan Airport in Beiping and Cangkou Airport in Qingdao respectively to carry out aerial reconnaissance in Shanhaiguan, the Western Liaoning Corridor, and the Liaodong Peninsula.
Just over half a moment later, the shocking news came back from the front!
Before the eight reconnaissance planes of the 1st Aviation Division and the 4th Aviation Division could enter the airspace of northeast China, they were intercepted by dozens of Zero fighters, and the eight reconnaissance planes were caught off guard and outnumbered, and were shot down one after another, two of the pilots successfully parachuted and were rescued, while the other six pilots slept forever in the ice and snow outside the pass.
"Brothers, I'll go first, he will set foot on Dongying Island every day, don't forget to burn incense for me!"
"Hahaha, Lao Tzu killed two Zero Battles, earned, long live the Republic of China! **Banzai! ”
In the communication room, two of the pilots shouted the jī slogan before their martyrdom, which was deafening.
Yue Weihan silently took off his military hat, and saluted the standard military salute in the northeast direction, and behind Yue Weihan, all the senior generals and staff officers took off their hats in mourning.
After half a minute of silence, Yue Weihan hurried back to the battle hall.
Now, Yue Weihan has understood everything, and all eight reconnaissance planes were intercepted and killed by the Japanese air force, which can only show one fact, that is, the Kwantung Army has built a large number of radar base stations in the northeast, and with the radar early warning, any action of the Chinese Air Force in the airspace of the northeast and in the sky over the Bohai Sea will have nothing to hide!
In an instant, the question that had plagued Yue Weihan for many days had been solved.
Why didn't the Kwantung Army attack with all its might? Because from the very beginning, Okamura Ninji had no intention of seizing the whole of North China!
Okamura Ninji never thought of eliminating the threat of the Chinese Air Force to the Northeast by controlling the entire North China, but built a large number of radar base stations in another way, which could not only effectively weaken the threat of the Chinese Air Force, but also avoid the risk of being surrounded and annihilated by the squadron because the heavy forces of the Kwantung Army were too deep.
It's amazing, Okamura Ningji, this old devil, doesn't make a move, and once he makes a move, it's a big move!
I thought that the Kwantung Army would take advantage of this extremely long rainy weather to attack on a large scale, but I never thought that Okamura Ningji took advantage of this rare opportunity to build a radar base station group, and it was even possible to build a large number of fortress fortifications near Shanhaiguan and in the Liaoxi Corridor, no, with Okamura Ningji's xìng grid, this is probably an inevitable result!
Once this speculation is established, then Siye will completely lose the possibility of counterattacking the northeast from the land!
After a while, Yue Weihan resolutely ordered: "Order, the two AWACS planes left behind in Myanmar will immediately go north!" ”
With the cooperation of ground radar, the air force of the Kwantung Army is like having a clairvoyant, and the Chinese Air Force will suffer quite a loss if it wants to compete with them in the airspace of northeast China, and only by transferring two early warning planes to North China can it be slightly improved, but only two early warning planes are obviously not enough to change the current unfavorable situation.
Otherwise, the Chinese Air Force will not be able to accurately and timely grasp the movements of the Japanese air force, while the Japanese air force can accurately and timely grasp all the movements of the Chinese air force, and that would be an asymmetric air battle.
In the final analysis, the Chinese Air Force also has limits, and it is impossible to dispatch a large group of aircraft to bomb the northeast every time.
If there are fewer fighters dispatched, it will inevitably be strangled by the superior forces of the Japanese air force, and if a large group of planes is dispatched into the northeast every time, the effect may not be good, not to mention, the cost will be too great, because the fuel consumption of the air force fighters is quite amazing, and the current sea transportation capacity of the Chinese Navy is still quite insufficient.
After thinking about it, Yue Weihan said to the left again: "In this way, transfer Jīng cadres from the special operations division and the anti-war alliance chōu, form several special forces, first parachute into Yanshan, and then enter the northeast to carry out reconnaissance, we must find out whether the Kwantung Army has built military fortresses near Shanhaiguan and in the western Liaoning corridor?" There are also radar stations. ”
"Yes." Mr. Zuo stood upright and immediately took the order.
General Wei Lihuang said again: "Zhongshu, do you want to gather troops as originally planned and prepare to attack Shanhaiguan?" ”
"Nope." Yue Weihan Huo Ran raised his hand and said, "The battle situation has changed, the original battle plan has been canceled, and before the headquarters has not conveyed the new battle plan, all group armies must maintain the current defensive posture, and it is strictly forbidden to assemble without authorization!" The armored divisions and heavy artillery divisions should pay special attention to concealment, so as not to attract bombing by the Japanese air forces. ”
…………
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
Shanhaiguan, the front command of the Kwantung Army.
"Haiyi, please rest assured that everything is normal on the front line of Shanhaiguan!" Okamura Ninji bowed his head suddenly, put down the phone, and then said to Tamura Yoshitomi who was standing in front of him, "Tamura-kun, what happened to the Shina Army this morning?" ”
"There has been no change in the Chinese army in the eastern Hebei region." Tamura Yoshitomi shook his head, and then said, "However, the special high-tech report that a group of suspicious Shina people are operating near Xidianzi recently, and the special high-tech suspects that it is likely that they are the agents of the Shina Army, whether they will dispatch the main division to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression?" ”
"Agent Shina?" A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Okamura's mouth.
Immediately, Okamura Ninji took out a scroll from the chōu drawer, and slowly unfolded it on the desk, but it was the authentic handwriting of Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty, "Hundred Beauty Pictures", Okamura Ninji unfolded the scroll and said to Tamura Yoshitomi: "Tamura-kun, have you ever heard of the idiom 'Tu Poor Dagger'?" ”
"Hello." Tamura Yoshitomi suddenly bowed his head and said, "The famous warrior Jing Ke of Guchina assassinated Qin, took the picture to serve the king of Qin, sent the map, and the picture was poor and dagger, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. ”
"Hehe, Tamura-kun is very knowledgeable." Okamura Ninji picked up the magnifying glass, and while admiring Tang Yin's authentic works, he said, "Now, our Kwantung Army and the China Army have also been exhausted, and the cards of both sides have been placed on the table, now it depends on how to play the cards, however, from the card surface alone, my Kwantung Army has an obvious upper hand." ”
After saying this, Okamura Ningji said again: "So, those agents of the branch let the people of the special high-tech department be busy, just a few agents, they can't afford to make any trouble, there is no need to spend precious manpower on them, the primary task of the main divisions is to hurry up and repair the fortifications, and it is best to build a complete fortress fortification group in the western Liaoning corridor half a month in advance!" ”
"Hello." Tamura Yoshitomi suddenly bowed his head and said, "The wisdom of His Excellency the Marshal is far inferior to that of the Zhina!" ”
