Chapter 218: Use it well, use it enough

Adhering to the principle of using it well, using it enough, and grasping the opportunity given by the superiors to take advantage of the little time, Du Kaishan can be said to have come up with a considerable amount of money. ..., directly transferred Yang Zhen to his aviation troops, and took them all out at the first time. As far as Du Kaishan is concerned, within these 48 hours, he must make full use of these air forces.

In a word, within the time specified by No. 1, the usefulness of these aviation units should be brought into full play as much as possible. So as not to wait for the number one to transfer these aviation units, and then he will never have a chance to use them again. Since the transfer is under his command, let alone forty-eight hours, even if it is only four hours, it must be followed by his path, and it will never work hard if he does not work hard.

On the first day of the battle against the Japanese Navy, especially when attacking the large ships of the Japanese Navy, the air force was extremely good. In the next day's battle, Du Kaishan did not hesitate without any hesitation, and basically sent out all the aviation units sent to him by his superiors. It is necessary to form multiple batches of large-scale cluster operations and strive to achieve the greatest results in the first round of the offensive.

In his words, all eighteen martial arts were shown to him. He did not plan for this ground support operation as painstakingly as he had on the previous day against the Japanese Navy. He only put forward two demands to the air force, one was that all the materials that the Japanese troops on the beachhead had not had time to transport away must be blown up, and not a single bullet or grain of grain could be left for the Japanese troops.

The second requirement is simpler, as many Japanese soldiers can be disabled, and there is no need to save face for him and his brother troops. In a word, it is to weaken the combat capability of the Japanese army to the greatest extent and prepare for a decisive battle on the ground. The focus was on the 44th Division of Sanhuzhuang and the supplies stockpiled by the Japanese army's beachhead.

In this battle, not only at the request of Du Kaishan, but also the eighteen martial arts of the Anti-United Nations Air Force were all displayed. The radio jamming aircraft of the Anti-United Nations also appeared on the battlefield in North China for the first time. Large-scale radio suppression was carried out on the radio communication system of the Japanese army on the entire Qikou battlefield.

Lieutenant General Hara lost contact with all the forces in the vicinity, mainly due to the role of the radio-jamming plane hovering above his head. This radio jamming plane was transferred to the North China battlefield for some time after the Anti-Japanese Union temporarily suspended its air raids on Japan, but it only participated in one operation before it was withdrawn and did not participate in the war.

The fundamental reason is that the number of troops invested in the North China battlefield is too large and the radio communication equipment is complicated. The radio stations of the Kannai fraternal units were quite a few captured Japanese-made radios. Once a wide range of radio interference is implemented, it is not necessarily the Japanese army that is unlucky.

In the process of participating in the only war, not only did the Japanese army's radio communications be completely suppressed. Some units of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Jinsui Military Regions that participated in the war also suppressed the Japanese-made radio stations they used. Including the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region itself using its own secret purchase in Beiping City, the Japanese-made parts to assemble the 15-watt radio station, all of which could not be used.

It has even had a certain impact on the radio communication between Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei and the central government, as well as between several strategic areas in North China. As soon as this plane took to the sky, except for the radio equipment manufactured by the Anti-Union itself, as long as the radio signals in its interference frequency band were basically paralyzed. Radio interference came according to the frequency band, and he could not tell which radio station belonged to the enemy and which radio station was his own.

The scope of influence of that operation was very large, and the plane operating over the border between Hebei and Jinjin, and even the Second War Zone in Chongqing, which was far away in the southwest of Shanxi Province, and the connection between the First War Zone in Luoyang and Chongqing, also caused a certain amount of interference. It's just that the people over there have never found out the source of the radio interference.

Under these circumstances, the special operations aircraft was withdrawn after being transferred to the Kannai battlefield and participating in only one operation. There is no way, if this plane is allowed to continue to participate in the war, the Guannai brother troops themselves are not a strong means of communication, and I am afraid that they will fall into complete chaos.

If it weren't for Yang Zhen's repeated admonition to the air force to be patient enough and not to make hasty decisions when using special aircraft in combat. Let's take a look at the development of the war situation first, and make further determinations. Otherwise, this plane, which was basically useless in North China, would have been transferred back to the Northeast Battlefield long ago.

This time, considering that the battlefield environment on the Jilu border is relatively simple, and the combat units are mainly based on the Anti-Japanese Union, the battlefield position is also quite critical. Only then was this plane transferred to carry out large-scale and comprehensive radio suppression within a radius of more than 100 square kilometers of the entire Qikou front-line battlefield.

At the same time, there was also a special operations aircraft codenamed Special 2, which was also extremely secret among the Anti-Japanese Union, and also secretly joined the Qikou battlefield to carry out comprehensive monitoring of the Japanese air force. Commanded the fighter unit of the anti-coalition air force and carried out operations against the Japanese army and navy aircraft.

This combat aircraft, codenamed the Special II Special Aircraft, is the latest special aircraft of the Anti-United Nations. Of course, the aircraft has not yet been finalized. This participation in the war is nothing more than a battlefield battle, in order to find out some possible problems and prepare for the real installation.

After being put into the battlefield, although some faults and problems were also exposed. But the role of this aircraft is real. Within 120 kilometers south of the Qikou battlefield, the whereabouts of the Japanese combat planes were exposed. As soon as the Japanese planes entered this range, the course, speed, and flight altitude were all clearly felt.

It played a decisive role in thoroughly fighting for air supremacy in the Jilu border battlefield. At least on the Qikou battlefield, the aviation fought easily. When Du Kaishan was fighting against the Japanese Navy before, the air force was able to exert such great power, and the Japanese naval air force, whose fighter performance was superior to that of the anti-coalition air force, failed to cause any interference to it, and this special second type aircraft can be said to have contributed a lot.

It's just for Du Kaishan, who sent out all the planes allocated by his superiors and brought these planes to the extreme. The excellent performance of the aviation force, although it allowed him to fight on the ground, reduced the pressure a lot. But if he continues to fight like this, the industrial foundation of the Anti-Japanese Federation is still very weak, and whether it can withstand such a large consumption is something he can't take into account at the moment.

How to fulfill the intention of his superiors and solve the Japanese landing force in front of him with the least casualties in the shortest time is what he is most concerned about at the moment. As for the excessive consumption of ammunition and fuel, it is far less important to Du Kaishan than the fighter.

Although the ship formation invested by the Japanese Navy was crippled, Du Kaishan did not feel any excitement about the Japanese Navy's achievements. As an authentic army commander who has no interest in the navy, and at the same time is an authentic landlubber, he still hopes to fight the Japanese army on land.

Although Du Kaishan had exhausted his mind about the Japanese Navy before, the purpose of all his deployments was actually very simple, that is, to solve the threat of the Japanese Navy's large-caliber naval guns to him in in-depth operations. These naval guns, which generally had a range of more than 30 kilometers, had an even greater impact on his operations than the Japanese air force under the guidance of the planes in the sky.

Therefore, getting rid of these naval guns that are more threatening to him has become an inevitable choice for him. He didn't want to take his shore guns and tanks and shoot at the Japanese battleships. But for Du Kaishan, he couldn't go to the sea by himself, and the Japanese Navy couldn't go ashore except for the marines. Having eliminated the threat of its large-caliber naval guns, he had no interest in the Japanese Navy.

For Du Kaishan, who put more interest in the Japanese Army. Judging from the overall appearance of the Japanese army he faced in this year's war, although he had no interest in the international war situation, he was also keenly aware of it. At present, the Japanese army has obviously felt that it is weakening, and its decline is becoming more and more obvious.

The newly formed and organized divisions and regiments, both in terms of soldiers and weaponry, have declined markedly compared with the beginning of the 77 Incident and compared with the Kwantung Army, which was fighting in the northeast itself. The suzhì of officers at all levels has also declined significantly. In particular, it was the first time that there had been a situation of the old and the young among the supplementary soldiers.

In terms of investment in heavy equipment, it is far less than it was at the beginning. Although the performance and quantity of tanks are far from the beginning of the July 7 Incident, the number of artillery in each division and regiment has declined by a considerable proportion, and even repeatedly declined. Moreover, several of the divisions and regiments that were transferred by the Japanese army to participate in the second phase of the battle were even replaced by mortars altogether.

The 41-type mountain gun, which was originally used as a wing gun, has now become the leading artillery of the artillery wing of the new division of the Japanese army. The old weapons were also taken out and reused. What 30-type rifles, three-year heavy machine guns, these weapons that have never been seen in the Kwantung Army have also been pulled out.

Du Kaishan, who has been paying attention to the battle situation on Chen Hanzhang's side, even heard that the 120th Division of the Japanese Army on the front line of Leling even pulled out the Meiji 38-type heavy machine gun and the Trinity-type mountain gun during the Russo-Japanese War. The battle reports from the front were even more certain, and he judged that the Japanese were now at the end of their rope.

In stark contrast to the rapid development of the overall equipment of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Japanese army's replenishment of soldiers and the quality of equipment have long been different from what they used to be. The rapid decline in the level of soldiers and equipment can even be said to have exceeded the expectations of most people.

On the one hand, the level of equipment and the overall quality of the troops are rising rapidly, but on the other hand, they are constantly declining, and the situation of the enemy retreating and advancing and eliminating the strengths of the other is becoming more and more obvious. Although he can still grit his teeth and carry it when the battle is unfavorable, the spirit of death has long been less than before.

This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that after the first phase of the battle, the number of prisoners far exceeded that of the previous battles. In the first phase of the battle, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were captured, including more than 500 officers. A significant number of the captured officers were junior officers.

During the first phase of the battle, there were even examples of Japanese troops surrendering en masse with squadrons as formations. After being encircled and divided, there were not a few Japanese troops who took the initiative to lay down their arms. This is a world of difference from the previous situation where even if they were surrounded, they would resist desperately.

All this shows that both the Japanese army's will to fight and its determination to die are declining rapidly. The discovery of this point made him feel that the little devil might not be able to support it for a few years. If you can't seize the opportunity now and fight a few more battles happily, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities left for you.

Although Yang Zhen has repeatedly confessed, looking at the unprecedented battle situation that Chen Hanzhang fought in the nearby Hebei-Lu border area, Du Kaishan would be strange if he didn't feel itchy in his heart. If it weren't for Yang Zhen's repeated warnings at the beginning, he was afraid that No. 1 would let himself not be able to touch the front line and transfer himself to the production and construction corps to retire. Maybe he can't wait for the Japanese army to land, and this guy who is in a mess will go straight down the Bohai Bay and run to Chen Hanzhang to get a handful.
