#1152 scale expansion
Kenji Doihara raised two fingers and said, "I'm afraid there are only two ways. One is to get the design drawings of Yinjiang Industrial Zone, and then follow the map to accurately strike key targets. The second method is to carpet bomb, use a sufficient number of heavy bombs to carry out carpet bombing on Yinjiang Industrial Zone, and blow up the earth!"
The so-called carpet bombing is an indiscriminate bombing of the target range.
The main equipment of the steel plants, power plants and arsenals in Yinjiang may be hidden underground, but there will definitely be a large number of auxiliary facilities built on the surface. As long as these auxiliary facilities are destroyed, the effect can also be achieved. At least within half a month, these factories will not be able to resume production.
With this half month, it is enough for the Japanese army.
Usa Miro said: "In contrast, the cost-effectiveness ratio of the second method is too low. A 500 kilogram-level aviation bomb is worth at least tens of thousands of yen. It is too extravagant to use such expensive bombs to bomb the auxiliary facilities of the Yinjiang Industrial Zone, and it is easy to accidentally hurt American employees in Yinjiang."
Thick bombs above 500 kilograms are expensive and are generally used to bomb strategically-level military targets, such as Principal Chang's official residence, commander-in-chief and other political targets, or high-value military targets such as Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortress. It is a waste to use it to blow up several factories.
Guandaohara said, "Yes, if possible, it's better to use the first method."
Kenji Doihara said: "The first method is indeed a little less expensive, but it takes time."
"Time?" Usa Mitsuru frowned slightly and asked, "How much time will it take?"
"At least one month, or even longer." Kenji Doihara said in contemplation, "Information work has its own special nature, and infiltration and rebellion will take time. If you are anxious, you may not be anxious."
"One month?" Usa Mitsuru's brows became even more tight.
Because the first batch of arms were destroyed, the plan for the Yinjiang Battle had been delayed for a month. If it was delayed for another month, the situation would be even more difficult to predict, because intelligence showed that Zhong Yi's Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps had been established and was currently conducting training in full swing. If he was given another month, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The Japanese intelligence department has evaluated Zhong Yi's abilities, tactical command, leadership and training abilities are all top-notch!
It is conceivable that if Zhong Yi was given a few more months, he would have been able to build the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps into a truly army, rather than a militia like today.
At that moment, Mitsuro Usa shook his head and said, "No, we probably don't have so much time."
"Then there is no better choice." Kenji Doihara said, "and only carpet bombing."
Usa Mitaka and Hitohara immediately looked at Nishio Suzusa. This decision was only Nishio Suzusa, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese condemnation army.
Because if a carpet bombing is carried out on the Yinjiang Industrial Zone, it is not only a matter of cost-effectiveness, but also a diplomatic issue, because it is likely that American employees will be accidentally injured during the bombing process.
This matter is very important, and Nishio Suzusaki was also difficult to make a decision at once.
Just as Nishio Suzusaki was in deep thought, Chief of Staff Hinata Shiaki suddenly hurried in and reported to Nishio Suzusaki and Usa Mitsuro: "His Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, the headquarters urgently!"
"Highlights to the base camp?" Usa Mitsuroba looked shaky when he heard this, and reached out to take the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Usa Mitsuru's face immediately turned dark and turned around and said to Nishio Suzuo: "Master-in-Chief, the carpet bombing of Yinjiang Industrial Zone can only be cancelled."
"Cancel?" Kenji Doihara said anxiously, "Why should I cancel?"
Usami raised the telegram in Yang's hand and said in a deep voice: "The base camp said that Senator McConaughey of Connecticut, the United States, had just delivered a speech through the Associated Press. The speech mentioned the affairs of Asia and focused on the upcoming Battle of Yinjiang, warning the empire to unconditionally ensure the safety of Americans in Yinjiang."
"Nani? Unconditionally guarantee the safety of Americans?" Kenji Doihara said in a deep voice, "How is it possible?"
After a pause, Kenji Doihara said to Nishio Suzusao again: "Your Excellency, you don't have to pay attention to the Americans!"
"No." Nishio Shozuo shook his head and said, "This McConaughey is not an ordinary senator. He has announced his candidacy for the next president of the United States, and the call is very high. Even if he cannot be elected as president in the end, the Secretary of State still has great hopes, so it is better not to offend him unless he has to."
Usa Mirō said: "If the commander-in-chief cannot carry out carpet bombing on the Yinjiang Industrial Zone and the plan for the Yinjiang Battle cannot be postponed, then the entire combat plan will probably be revised."
After a brief pause, Usa Mirō continued: "Because of the statement of US Senator McConaughey, the Imperial Army's actions in Yinjiang will definitely be greatly restricted and become restricted. So Huzhi believed that he simply gave up the attack on Yinjiang city and instead captured the periphery of Yinjiang and cut off Yinjiang's contact with the outside world!"
"Give up the attack on Yinjiang city and instead capture the periphery of Yinjiang and cut off the contact between Yinjiang and the outside world?" Nishio Suzusaki looked like a move and said in a deep voice, "Usa Mikun, do you mean to capture the entire Zhejiang Province?"
"Hayi!" Usa Mirone said, "If possible, even Fujian Province, the northeastern and southern parts of Jiangxi Province will be occupied together. In this way, the occupied areas of the Imperial Army in East China, Central China and South China will be connected, and the Chinese government forces will have nowhere to hide, and the overall security situation will be greatly improved."
Nishio Shouzuo said: "If we want to achieve this goal, the existing military strength is probably far from enough."
"Hai." Usa Mirone said, "If you want to achieve the above goals, Huyi thought that at least five to six main divisions would be mobilized."
"Five to six main divisions?" Nishio Shou said, "If this happens, the scale of this battle will be expanded from a small battle to a medium battle, and the materials prepared may not be enough."
Usa Mitsuru said: "Materials should not be a problem."
