After the air battle in Duolun County, there was a rare silence on the battlefield.

The Japs immediately gave up their plan to attack Duolun County and Chifeng... This is reasonable. The Japs' attack plan is based on air supremacy. If they cannot seize air supremacy, the entire combat plan will not be able to move forward.

, of course it can only be terminated.

The Eighth Route Army is also actively seeking time to strengthen air-to-air missiles and produce a few more sets of equipment "La 5", so there are no new actions.

But the commander sent a sealed message to Wang Xuexin, asking: "Can the transportation plan be advanced? The Japanese seem to be aware of it!"

"Carrier" refers to Fengtian.

The name Fengtian was originally taken from "Fengtian Chengyun", so the leader used Chengyun as the name of his plan to attack Fengtian.

Wang Xuexin frowned and secretly thought that the Eighth Route Army was already so secretive in this regard. How could the Japanese detect their intentions and prepare in advance?

It turned out that it was not the Eighth Route Army that leaked the news, but Naosaburo Okabe who sensed the danger in Fengtian from the Eighth Route Army's equipment upgrades.

Naosaburo Okabe thought this way: If the Eighth Route Army has air superiority, and the straight-line distance between Chifeng and Fengtian is only more than 300 kilometers, which happens to be within the combat radius of "La 5", does that mean that the Eighth Route Army can directly bomb Fengtian with air strikes?

?

Okabe Naosaburo's idea is not unfounded.

Although he believed that the BF109 was capable of fighting against the Eighth Route Army's new air-to-air missiles, the problem was that the empire's BF109 had been wiped out in the last battle, and only four or five of the new ones had not yet achieved combat effectiveness. Naosaburo Okabe simply

We dare not send them into the air to fight the Eighth Route Army.

In this case, could the Eighth Route Army use the "La-5" equipped with air-to-air missiles as cover, and then use the rocket "La-5" and mosquito bombers to directly bomb Fengtian?

This is no small matter. Two of the empire's most important arsenals are in Fengtian, and even the "Tiger" is produced in Fengtian.

On the other hand, I have always thought that what the empire has least to worry about is China's aviation... Before this, China had almost no aviation that could threaten Fengtian, so all of Fengtian's defenses were aimed at the ground, and air defense was almost blank.

If the Eighth Route Army bombed Fengtian at this time, the empire's two military factories would be wiped out in an instant.

Thinking of this, Naosaburo Okabe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He quickly transferred several air defense regiments and radar units from nearby areas to reinforce Fengtian, and even transferred several "Feiyan" squadrons to Fengtian to strengthen its airspace security.

In fact, Naosaburo Okabe does not need to worry too much about the safety of the two arsenals in Fengtian.

On the one hand, this was because the Eighth Route Army did not know much about Fengtian's anti-aircraft firepower and did not dare to risk bombing. On the other hand, it was because the commander preferred to capture the two arsenals rather than blow them up.

The chief said to the chief of staff: "These two arsenals are our blood and sweat. How many people paid for them with their lives, and there are still many people living in and around the arsenal. This explosion..."

The chief of staff nodded in agreement and said: "It would be different if we could capture it! It happens that most of our army's arsenals are in Taiyuan, which are too far away from the front line. If we can capture these two arsenals and produce ammunition and equipment on the spot, we can immediately

It will become a logistics supply base for our army and will be of great help in regaining Northeast China in the future!"

Then the chief of staff added: "In particular, there are many military talents in these arsenals, many of whom are Chinese talents who are forced to work for the devils. Our research institute is short of talents. If we can get these talents, we can solve the shortage of research and development in our army."

The urgent need for personnel!”

The chief of staff was right. If Wang Xuexin had a choice in this matter, Wang Xuexin would also choose to seize it rather than blow it up.

Blowing it up may be able to hit the Japanese supplies faster and more effectively, which will make it easier for the Eighth Route Army in the future... As soon as the two arsenals in Fengtian are bombed, there will be problems with the Japanese supply in the Northeast, and the Eighth Route Army will have a higher chance of winning.

But in the long run, it is detrimental to the development of the Eighth Route Army: it will be difficult to rebuild after a bombing, especially for military workers who "cannot be resurrected".

Among them, the Fengtian Ordnance Factory can be said to be a legacy of the Northeastern Army. It was mainly used by the Japanese to produce rifles and other light equipment, and its technical content was not high.

But the "South Manchuria Army Arsenal" established by the Japanese themselves was equipped with equipment brought from the mainland. It could not only produce cars, but also cannons and "Tiger" guns.

Although the Eighth Route Army already has T44 and plans to develop it in the direction of 59, the Mao Xiong series tanks have always had shortcomings in the engine, so that the Chinese tank engine has a certain degree of Western origin... China introduced the civilian version from Hans in the 1980s.

diesel engines and learned and absorbed its design concepts, which has greatly improved the level of domestic diesel engines.

Since Wang Xuexin knew this, why did he wait until the 1980s?

Wouldn't it be nice to seize the arsenal from the Japanese and get the "Tiger" engine now, and combine its advantages with the Mao Xiong engine?

In addition, artillery production technology, steelmaking technology, etc. can all be comprehensively improved from the Japanese Arsenal.

The headquarters also took these situations into consideration, so they never thought about bombing the Japanese arsenal from beginning to end.

Naosaburo Okabe's troop mobilization was quickly controlled by the headquarters.

The commander did not expect that Naosaburo Okabe's reaction was because he was worried about being bombed. His first thought was that the Japanese might have discovered the Eighth Route Army's plan to attack Fengtian.

Originally, the attack on Fengtian could be postponed, but if the Japanese realize that the Eighth Route Army intends to attack Fengtian and keep increasing their troops, it will be different: If this continues, will Fengtian's defense become more and more stable and difficult to defeat? Now the Japanese in Fengtian

There are seven divisions with more than 100,000 troops, and we will continue to increase the number of troops until 200,000 people... The Eighth Route Army can't even get rid of it even if it wants to!

Wang Xuexin calmed down and thought about it, and felt that the time to attack Fengtian was not yet mature. If he acted too hastily, it would be bad.

However, the commander's worries are justified. If this continues, Fengtian will become an iron wall. Even if the Eighth Route Army has air superiority, it will be of no use.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xuexin ordered the communications soldier: "Let Comrade Lemon Lokov come here!"

"Yes!" the signal soldier responded and sent a telegram to Lemon Lokov.

Now, it's time to let Mao Xiong's Far East Front come into play, but I don't know if Mao Xiong is willing to cooperate.
