"Prime Minister, look."

Lin Wei stood up and took out a more detailed map of Huishan County.Then he said to Duan Xun: "Prime Minister, the North Korean Independence Army has a large number of recruits, and there are many problems in coordination. The loss of the previous positions is because they failed to take advantage of the firepower and build a sufficient firepower network. And although there are our artillery The troops helped the Korean Independence Army to suppress the Japanese artillery fire, but the mortar and heavy machine gun units of the Korean Independence Army failed to suppress the Japanese fire cover. Instead, they were suppressed by the Japanese grenadiers and heavy machine guns. The Japanese army first used force After mortars, grenades, and heavy machine guns suppress the firepower of the Korean Independence Army, several assault troops will assault some loopholes in the Korean Independence Army's firepower network. Quickly attack and attack the defensive weaknesses of the Korean Independence Army. Every time Use this method to break through the defense line of the Korean Independence Army."

"The Korean Independence Army has no experience in this kind of positional warfare, so as long as one point is breached by the Japanese army, it is easy to cause the entire line to retreat. After inspection, Director Ge believes that the Korean Independence Army has insufficient tunnel operations and insufficient defense depth in the position defense fortifications. So increase the tunnel work, then increase the ring fortifications, and increase the defense depth."

"kindness."

Apart from other things, the Chinese army definitely has its own set of methods on how to arrange the front.Duan Xun has attached great importance to the deployment of defensive positions since he started in the west of Henan.When Duan Xun blocked Cai E's national defense army, the defensive positions were arranged very well, making it impossible for Cai E's troops to pass.

After that, the officers trained by Duan Xun paid the most attention to deploying defensive positions.

The officers of the Korean Independence Army were all trained in Chinese military academies. Although the training time was short, they also attached great importance to deploying defensive positions.It's just that they have been trained for too short a time after all, and it is impossible to learn too much.

"Has the line of defense been deployed?"

"Not yet. The place is all mountainous, and it is not easy to build a defense line. It is even more difficult to dig tunnels according to Director Ge's request. The Korean Independence Army was mainly training and fighting because of time constraints. The homework is not familiar. Slow down. Director Ge is now personally leading people to teach them."

"Zhanhou (Ge Jingen) is not bad."

Duan Xun smiled.

Both Lin Wei and Ge Jingen came out together, they used to be under Chen Yi's subordinates, and they were brothers of the Japanese Army University.Therefore, he inadvertently said good things to Ge Jingen.

Duan Xun will not blame this point.

Because Duan Xun likes both Lin Wei and Ge Jingen very much.Lin Wei is a member of the General Staff, and now he is the director of the Operations Department, and he is doing very well.

Not to mention Ge Jingen.

Not only is it strong in military capabilities, but it also has excellent local coordination capabilities.I have done a good job in the Northeast in the past few years.

"But this won't work, we should give them some time. Cichen, you give the Air Force an order to let our planes hang around. But don't conflict with the Japanese army and put some pressure on the Japanese army."

"Prime Minister, is this appropriate?"

Xu Yongchang asked Duan Xun very cautiously.

Because China and Japan have just negotiated and jointly issued the "Beijing Statement".At this time, the Air Force is going to provoke them?But this is a matter from the above. It is difficult for a general Xu Yongchang to say it directly, so he is very cautious.

"It's okay. I'm not just trying to scare the Japanese army, but I also want to know the attitude of the Japanese cabinet. If the Japanese cabinet doesn't want to conflict with us, it will definitely give us a reaction. I also need to know. To Zhanhou (Ge Jingen) Send a telegram asking him to help the Korean Independence Army repair new fortifications as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Then send a telegram to Commander Shang, asking them to meet the needs of Marquis Zhan as much as possible in the Northeast Military Region. You can give them the weapons and ammunition you need first, and then go through the formalities."

"Yes."

485

"General. The Chinese planes are on the move."

"A Chinese plane?"

1925 8 Month 12 Day.

Seoul.

When Saito heard the report, he jumped out of his bed immediately.

If it is said that the person who feels the deepest and panics about the Chinese aircraft must be the Governor of North Korea, Saito Minoru.As early as 1923, when China and Japan were at war in the Northeast, Chinese aircraft frequently attacked the Japanese army.It caused huge casualties to the Japanese army.At that time, the Japanese army was more powerful than the Chinese army.

However, the front lines of the two sides have been maintained in Dalian because of the Chinese aircraft.At that time, the Japanese army had nothing to do with air strikes, let alone experience.

So the losses in the air strikes were huge.

Later, although they had a lot of experience in avoiding air strikes, the continuous dropping of bombs by Chinese planes still seriously affected the Japanese army's ability to exert their combat effectiveness.

At that time, people of insight in the Japanese army had begun to call on the Japanese military to attach importance to the development of aircraft and air defense.But at that time, Japan experienced the Great Kanto Earthquake, so there was no time to take care of such things.When calm is restored and the development of aircraft begins, it has already settled far away in China.

And a few months ago, Chinese planes carried out large-scale air strikes on the targets of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, causing the Japanese army to suffer losses far beyond their imagination.Chinese planes were on the Korean peninsula, attacking Japanese troops, arsenals, and logistics bases.

And it's a repeated attack.

Thousands of air strikes were carried out.

It made Saito feel dizzy.At that time, Mito Saito had a headache as long as he heard the news that Chinese planes were coming to air strikes, because every air strike was followed by bad news.

Tell Mito Saito how many casualties the army had, and which logistics base was bombed.

Fortunately, it stopped for a few months.

So now hearing that the Chinese plane is moving again, how can Saito Mino sit down, his heart feels pounding.Now the Japanese army has [-] troops on the Korean peninsula and is beginning to grasp the situation on the Korean peninsula.However, the same number of people is more, which means that the target has also increased.

Especially on the Hyesan County side, and the Pyongyang side, many Japanese troops gathered.Moreover, the increase in Japanese troops led to a rapid increase in logistics.

Therefore, once Chinese aircraft conduct air strikes again, the targets of air strikes will increase several times, and the losses will also increase many times.

"What the hell is going on? Did the Chinese plane attack us?"

Saito Mino asked Itagaki Seishiro while getting dressed.The gendarmerie division reorganized from the original Kwantung Army was seriously injured in the first stage of the battle, with more than half of the casualties.

So pull back and fix it.

Itagaki Seishiro returned to Seoul and continued to serve as his senior staff officer in the North Korean Governor's Office.Itagaki Seishiro is also a young officer whom Saito Minoru values ​​very much.

"No."

"No?"

"Yes. Their planes took off frequently, but they didn't bomb us. They just flew on the side of the Yalu River. But there are a lot of planes. We found a dozen planes on the Manchurian side, and a dozen on the Jiaodong side. Aircraft flying. This is the first time since we started negotiations with the Chinese government that so many planes are operating at the same time. Before, there were only one or two planes observing the battlefield, and there have never been so many planes like today."

"What are the Chinese people doing here?"

Saito Mi walked out of the house and frowned as he walked.

With so many planes taking off at the same time, this is definitely not a joke.Not to mention anything else, the aviation fuel of the plane is so expensive.Although China has a vast territory and rich resources, China is also an "oil-poor country".

There are only a few oil fields in China now, and the annual output is only so much, so they dare to waste aviation oil like this.In other words, most of the practical aviation oil in China is imported.

Imported oil is not cheap.

"Tell me, do the Chinese people want to intervene in the war in Huishan County?"

"General, I'm not sure."

Itagaki Seishiro shook his head.

Because he can't judge what the Chinese want to do.Because China says it is a republican government, but in the eyes of Seishiro Itagaki, it is no different from a military government.
