"Send a telegram to Shenyang and ask Ge Jingen to coordinate as soon as possible to equip the Korean Independence Army with anti-aircraft guns. No, let the anti-aircraft artillery troops of our Northeast Military Region station directly in Hyesan County and go directly to the Korean Independence Army. They also have no combat experience. If Japan The deployment of aircraft also allows them to increase their combat experience. In the future, the anti-aircraft artillery unit will have many opportunities to participate in wars, so we can accumulate experience in advance.”

"Yes."

Japan dispatched planes.

Although compared with China, Japan is far behind in the construction of the air force.But compared with the Korean Independence Army, it really has the absolute upper hand.The Korean Independence Army was simply incapable of confronting the Japanese Air Force.

If Japanese planes are allowed to bomb the Korean Independence Army in Hyesan County, their morale will be severely damaged.The anti-aircraft artillery unit on the Chinese side has not fought a war since its establishment.Getting in touch with Japanese aircraft is also to increase one's own combat experience.In the future, air combat will inevitably be the mainstream, and the opportunity for anti-aircraft artillery units to show their talents is yet to come.

"Cichen, tell me whether the Korean Independence Army can hold on."

"It should be difficult."

Xu Yongchang shook his head slightly.

Lin Wei, who was under Xu Yongchang, said: "Prime Minister, in terms of the combat deployment and number of troops, the Korean Independence Army is not weaker than the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army. It even has advantages in many aspects."

Lin Wei is the Director of Operations of the General Staff.

The only place where wars have been fought recently is the Northeast, the Korean Peninsula.So he is very familiar with the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Standing up, he said to Duan Xun: "Prime Minister, in order to support the Korean Independence Army, our heavy artillery and artillery units have already crossed the Yalu River and directly participated in the fortifications of the Korean Independence Army. With our direct support, North Korea's independence The army currently has about 70 heavy artillery pieces, about 130 infantry artillery pieces, and a large number of mortars. The artillery units of Commander Dong’s troops all crossed the river and participated in the defense of the Korean Independence Army. From the number of artillery units In fact, the Korean Independence Army has already far surpassed the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, not to mention the Ninth Brigade currently participating in the offensive. Moreover, the Korean Independence Army is the defensive side, and the role of artillery is even greater."

"In addition to the artillery units, we provided the Korean Independence Army with a large number of machine guns, including heavy machine guns and light machine guns. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Korean Independence Army not only did not lag behind the Japanese troops, but was even better than them. And Hui There are many mountains here in the mountain county, and it is easy to build a defensive front. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, with such firepower, the defensive side has a great advantage."

Duan Xun looked at the main defensive position in Huishan County and nodded.

There are many mountains, but few roads.

Building defenses is easy.Coupled with the direct participation of the artillery units on the Chinese side and the support of a large number of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, the Korean Independence Army's firepower is not inferior to the Japanese army at all, it should be said to exceed the Japanese army's firepower.In defensive warfare, the effect of these heavy weapons is very good.

As long as they play well, it is not easy for the Japanese army to break through the Hyesan line of defense in a short time.

"kindness."

I am very satisfied with Duan Xun's support from the Northeast Military Region.

The more lively the fight on the Korean peninsula, the greater the pressure on the Japanese army, and the more beneficial it will be to China.Duan Xun hopes that the Japanese army will be completely involved in the war on the Korean Peninsula, which will give China many opportunities.

What China needs now is time.

As long as China is given time, China will not be afraid of any power in the world.

"However, the biggest problem with the Korean Independence Army is the poor quality of its soldiers. Half of them are undertrained troops. Even the main force of the Korean Independence Army has only received more than a year of training. Before fighting on the Korean Peninsula, They are all small-unit wars. There has never been a war with such a large corps, such a face-to-face regular battle. In this respect, the Korean Independence Army has obvious disadvantages. Compared with the Japanese Fifth Division, that is The elite of the Japanese army, even the squad leader and squadron leader graduated from a military academy. The graduates of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy are all junior officers of the Japanese army.”

What is Japan's greatest strength is this.Because of the long development time, most of the grassroots officers of the Japanese army have military school experience.

In this regard, even the Chinese army is inferior to the Japanese army.

"What's your opinion?"

The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for China.

Because Duan Xun hoped that the Japanese army and the Korean Independence Army would fight in Hyesan County for a few months, a year would be good, and a few years would be even better.

"Prime Minister, we had a brief exchange with General Ge Jingen just now, and we have three opinions."

"Say."

"First, continue to help the Korean Independence Army to train troops. At present, there are many people from the Korean Peninsula in the Northeast, and troops can be recruited from among them for simple training. And in the past six months, students from the Korean Peninsula have poured into our country There are a lot of people, and they are all very good sources of troops. But it needs the approval of the cabinet and the military department."

"can."

Military issues are sensitive.

Even if there is a war ahead, they cannot solve many problems by themselves.In particular, the formation of troops from the North Koreans currently in the Northeast involves all aspects.

Cabinet approval is required.

Otherwise, it will be a crime in the future. After all, the army is involved, and no smart person will form an army privately.Duan Xun was very decisive, and nodded directly: "Send a telegram to Shenyang and ask the Northeast Military Region to cooperate fully. Many of those students were originally intended to join the Korean Independence Army. Let the military academy train them as soon as possible. While training, we will replenish the casualties in front."

"Yes."

"go on."

"Second, martial law needs to be enforced along the banks of the Yalu River, and Japanese spies cannot be allowed to act at will."

"Wen Bai, write it down."

martial law.

Where the army is stationed, the military can block it in the name of a military powerhouse.But the banks of the Yalu River are not just one or two places, hundreds of kilometers in front and back.If you want to implement martial law in these places, you must need the cooperation of the local government and the police system.

This requires the cabinet to issue orders to the police department and the Fengtian provincial government.It's not something the military should discuss.

"Yes."

"Cichen, you have issued an order to the Northeast Military Region that no strangers are allowed to come and go around the important military areas. If there are strangers, no matter who they are, if they cannot be judged for a while, they will all be detained. Let them tell them Let me check their identities one by one. If they are really Japanese spies or work for the Japanese, they will all be brought to court after they calm down. If they are caught wrong, I will apologize to them after the war is over and pay for it. Money. If anyone dares to make trouble after being seized, he can be shot according to the wartime regulations."

How can we manage so much during a war.

If someone is really disobedient, Duan Xun will not be soft.

"Yes."

"continue."

"Thirdly, the Yalu River should be sealed off."

"Sealed the Yalu River?"

"Yes. Prime Minister, our opinion is to sink some old ships in Dandong, and create some obstacles on the Yalu River to prevent the ships from sailing. In this way, some small troops of the Korean Independence Army can enter and leave through the Yalu River at any time, attack the Japanese defense line, attack Some transportation lines of the Japanese army. If the Yalu River sails freely, then some small ships of the Japanese army will sail in the Yalu River recklessly, which is tantamount to blocking this passage.”

"Row."

In order to win, what can't be done.

Anyway.

Duan Xun always approves.Finally, he said: "Tell the Northeast Military Region not to be stingy with military supplies, and give them whatever the Korean Independence Army needs. All the hospitals in our military region will be gathered in the Linjiang and Changbai areas for me, and we will do our best to rescue the wounded soldiers. War is not a day In two days, those wounded veterans are wealth. We need these veterans in future wars with Japan.”

"Yes."

"As for the affairs of the local government, I will coordinate with you. You continue to pay attention to the battlefield and report to me any news."
