Chapter 1554 A dead end
Jinhua Lanxi, Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone General Staff.
Zhong Yi was summoning senior staff members such as Li Ziren, Wang Mengling, Hou Zhenbang, Yin Zuogan to discuss countermeasures.
During the daytime ventilator, Zhong Yi really didn't fool Qian Xiaojun. He really didn't think of a countermeasure now. After all, he was also a human, not a god.
War has iron laws and cannot be changed by one person.
The Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone now has more than 800,000 troops, almost no less than the troops gathered during the Battle of Shanghai.
But the question is, can the 800,000 troops in the Zhejiang-Fu War Zone be compared with the 700,000 troops in the Battle of Shanghai?
The answer is obviously no. The 700,000 national troops during the Battle of Shanghai were truly elite troops, well equipped, well-trained, rich combat experience, strong will, and truly sharp!
But now there are actually not many elite troops in their Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.
Is the 41st Army elite? Nominally, it is, but the current 41st Army obviously cannot be compared with the 41st Army during the Second Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian.
Is the 19th Army elite? Yes.
But the 19th Army is far from comparable to the 19th Army during the Battle of Shanghai.
Is the 20th Army elite? Yes, because the 54th Army, the head of the Civil Engineering Department, is in the battle sequence of the 20th Army, but by the same token, the combat effectiveness of the 20th Army is no less than that of the 9th Army in the Battle of Shanghai, and it is far worse!
As for the Sichuan Army, the fighting will is very tenacious, but limited to training and equipment, it is really not considered elite.
The only one who can be considered an elite force is probably the 10th Army now, but the 10th Army has less than 150,000 people in full force. How many nails can they be made with iron?
Li Ziren said: "It would be great if the Japanese were willing to attack Yinjiang."
Wang Mengling and the other two laughed in silence. Of course, the Japanese would not attack Yinjiang.
After all, Yinjiang has built a complete fortification. Unless the Japanese are crazy, they will never be stupid enough to attack Yinjiang.
Yin Zuogan Road: "The main part of the Japanese Air Force and heavy artillery troops are the Japanese."
Wang Mengling said: "Yes, after these days of contact, our army has also gained a preliminary understanding of the Japanese Air Force's combat methods. Most of the time, the Japanese Air Force is reluctant to throw air bombs. Even if it is thrown to the top, it is only 25 kilograms, and most of the time it uses machine guns to fire."
"This is completely understandable." Hou Zhenbang said, "After all, Japan is an island country with limited resources. Besides, it is indeed a loss to use 50 kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms of aviation bombs to bomb our temporary field fortifications."
The field fortifications of the National Army are not military fortresses, with insufficient personnel concentration and no high-value equipment. It is just a Bronning heavy machine gun. It is not cost-effective for the Japanese Air Force to use 25 kilograms of aviation bombs to bomb. After all, the cost of an aviation bomb from production to transportation to the front line is quite high.
Yin Zuogandao: "But even if it is just a strafing, it is also a great threat!"
"Not." Wang Mengling nodded and said, "Since May, the 1st Aviation Division has basically lost its protection for the army and can only allow the Japanese Air Force to bombard. In less than five days, nearly 10,000 casualties have been killed or injured on each front, and they have basically been killed and injured by the Japanese Air Force."
Yin Zuogandao: "If it were just the Japanese Air Force, it would be easier to deal with."
After pausing, Yin Zuogan continued: "Our army just needs to hide in the trenches and not come out, and the dive strafing of the Japanese Air Force will no longer have lethality."
Wang Mengling said: "The problem is that we hid in the trenches, and the Japanese artillery soldiers came up."
Hou Zhenbang said: "Then the Japanese shoot, our fortifications are basically completed. If the Japanese infantry take the opportunity to attack, our defense line will collapse, and the retreating infantry will be exposed to the gun of the Japanese Air Force. The more than 10,000 casualties in the past few days are what the Japanese Air Force fought for forcibly."
"So this is a dead knot." Yin Zuogandao, "If we want to avoid the dive strafing of the Japanese Air Force, we can only hide in the trenches during the day and fight back at night. However, once we hide in the trenches, the Japanese artillery will press forward and bombard them indiscriminately. If we do not retreat, we will be killed. Once we retreat, we will be fired by the Japanese Aircraft Gun, with heavy casualties."
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Where has it been? The Japanese heavy artillery troops have not yet arrived!"
"Yes." Wang Mengling said, "It's already so hard to survive just two field artillery corps. When the Japanese's Field Heavy Artillery 3rd Brigade and two independent heavy artillery brigades are pressing forward, how can you live this life?"
Yin Zuogandao: "Now the Japanese are concerned about the threat of the 1st Aviation Division, and the heavy artillery troops are not afraid to push forward, but according to the current trend, the 1st Aviation Division may not last long."
Hou Zhenbang said: "If you want to untie this knot, you must destroy one of the Japanese Air Force and the Japanese heavy artillery, and the remaining one will be easy to deal with."
Li Ziren said: "It's too difficult to destroy the Japanese Air Force and the Japanese heavy artillery."
"No matter how difficult it is, you must find a way." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "or else there will be no way to fight this battle."
"Yes." Hou Zhenbang said, "If one of them cannot be defeated, even if this battle is won, there will be more than 800,000 troops in our Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, and there are probably only a few people left."
"Win?" Wang Mengling sneered, "Brother Zhenbang, you really dare to think."
"Yes." Yin Zuogan also echoed, "It would be nice to tie."
Zhong Yi said: "It is absolutely impossible to destroy the Japanese Air Force. Not to mention that the Japanese Air Force is stationed in various airports such as Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Wenzhou. Even if it is stationed in one airport, it must be highly garrisoned now, and it is impossible to give us a chance to attack the airport any more, and we do not have enough ability to attack the airport."
"Then I can only find a way to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery troops." Li Ziren said.
Wang Mengling drew a red circle on the map with a pencil, and then said: "Now the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and two independent Heavy Artillery Brigades are all near Ciwu Town."
Yin Zuogan took a corner ruler and said, "Citwu Town is less than 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou Abramqiao Airport. The Japanese Air Force fighter jets can arrive for support in a quarter of an hour, but it is more than 150 kilometers away from Quzhou Airport. And a considerable distance in the middle has fallen into the control of the Japanese and puppet troops."
Wang Mengling said: "So, it is very difficult to carry out air strikes on the heavy artillery of the Japanese in Ciwu Town."
"No, no, no, not very difficult." Hou Zhenbang waved his hand and said, "but it is simply impossible."
