Seeing that Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand, Cai E didn't care much. He briefly explained to Yang Yuanzhao that defense is synonymous with weakness and concession to some extent, but it does not mean retreat and surrender. To a certain extent, this may be the best method that Kanwei Guangchen could think of.⊙,

The Japanese never thought that the Northwest Army set up an ambush here, and suddenly it was caught by the turrets that suddenly appeared, armed as hedgehogs, and caught off guard. A large number of warships did not run out of the attack range of the turrets at all, and were hit by precise artillery. More than half of the strength of the joint fleet was lost, and the rest were hit by submarines and the Northwest Navy, together with them, and were completely damaged. The ability to escort the turret ships were lost. The turret ships loaded with arms and soldiers faced the submarines directly in the northwest, and finally rushed to the shore, but had lost more than one-third of the money, and a large amount of supplies and equipment were lost.

If it were just like this, Kanou Mitsumon would not have made such a choice. Tens of thousands of troops could not escape. However, facing the surveillance of the airship, he had no choice but to divide his troops, and the result was that the remaining army was reduced by more than half, with only more than 20,000 soldiers, and he could not escape the encirclement anyway, so he had to choose to save his life first.

Defense is always easier than attacks, and the casualties are caused, not to mention that he has formed a stable defense line with the help of the troop transport ship. Kamio Mitsumon was very confident in the 18th Division, believing that with the help of the defense line formed by the troop transport ship, this 18th Division could withstand several times of attack. They could survive a few days and wait for reinforcements from the Japanese base camp. In Kamio Mitsumon's view, the base camp could not give up on them.

After understanding the purpose of Kano Ou Mitsuko, Yang Yuanzhao was more or less worried, but Cai E was not worried much. If the Northwest Army was still at the level of Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, Kano Ou Mitsuko's goal should be achieved, because the gap in firepower and training is between 30,000 and rigorously trained Japanese troops, if 30,000 Japanese troops who have been strictly trained want to defend, 10 times of the army may not be able to be taken down. In the future, if the Japanese navy supports it, it will even be able to

Mirror of the attack was faintly carried out. Kamio Mitsumon would not have thought that the combined fleet that the Japanese army was proud of was wiped out. The remaining fleets were old or retired. Whether they could be driven out was still two different things. Just say that the army, the Northwest Army is already above the Japanese army. Even if you choose the stupidest one and use a strong attack method, you can defeat the 18th Division in a short time, not to mention there are other ways. The only difference is how much the price you have to pay.

"Songpo, if you don't use an aircraft, if you use a large-caliber bomb, you should be able to blow up the place." Yang Yuanzhao said that he was full of confidence. The aircraft is the killer weapon of the Northwest. The largest aircraft currently has a load capacity of 2.5 tons. It can carry the largest 1.8 tons aviation bomb. In Shandong, it currently concentrates 80% of the aircraft of the entire Northwest Air Force. There are 1,100 such large aircraft. There are more than 2,000 aircraft with other load capacity. If all take off at one time, it can carry 5,000 tons aviation bombs.

.If it was a ship, 5,000 tons were only in the entry-level. With the emergence of ships of 10,000 tons, even 30,000 tons, or even 50,000 tons, 5,000 tons had already withdrawn from the mainstream ocean shipping stage, at most it was only operated in remote areas or some remote routes. However, when it came to the Air Force, it was terrible. 5,000 tons was almost equivalent to 5,000 large-caliber naval guns. You should know that in the Battle of Jutland in history, the two sides fought so fiercely, and many battleships did not fire many shells.

In other countries in the world, aircraft are also regarded as toys. For example, Japan has planes that are light and can only carry one person to the sky. However, the northwest has turned a few days ago. The load capacity of several tons directly allows the plane to cross the level of toys of the original enthusiasts and suddenly enters the war level. Airships have demonstrated their strength in the air combat, flying faster and are not easy to be attacked. You must know that airships are at most 4,000 meters of airspace. In this airspace, it is possible to attack. Generally, machine guns are definitely impossible, but the bullet size and initial speed are increased, specifically for anti-aircraft machine guns in the air. Such machine guns can barely reach a height of several thousand meters, but when this number is increased to 10,000, or even 13,000, it is basically impossible to design into the field. At least the current technology is not good.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that aircraft could occupy the main force in the air by relying on high altitude and high speed. In later generations, which one of the bombers is not high altitude and high speed. On the spatial level, you can't reach it. Even if the weapons are advanced, what can you do? Therefore, when studying twin-engine bombers, the first thing to consider is the performance of high altitude and high speed. It must be able to rise to a certain altitude and the speed cannot be too slow. There is no intention to pursue load capacity. Of course, this is because the Northwest has achieved the bombing-level load capacity, otherwise it would not be so easy.

"No need for the time being!" Cai E of course knew Yang Yuanzhao's intention. Yes, the other party shrank into a ball and relied on landing ships as protection to attack with large-caliber artillery, but the effect was not as fast as the Air Force. A 1.8-ton aviation bomb was projected from a height of 10,000 meters, and its power was even more violent than a 500-mm caliber artillery. In addition, the loading problem was enough. Those thin-skinned ocean-going cargo ships could not resist. When these ships were flattened, it was a big deal to whether the Japanese army could survive.

"Don't worry, isn't it just 30,000 people? Just don't keep the prisoners!" Yang Yuanzhao was only worried about the leak. Since he dropped the plane, he used it. Look at the picture to defend. If the plane is not used, it will not be easy to kill it with just landing firepower. At least a batch of casualties will be caused. The pension in the northwest is quite high. Any small amount of casualties represents a large fiscal expenditure of the Northwest government, one-time and subsequent. In this case, the casualties can be reduced, and the casualties will be reduced. This is what the Northwest has always done.

"It's not a matter of leaks, Yuan Zhao, I think it's an opportunity for us to surround these Japanese troops." Cai E said calmly, gently pointed out his purpose, surrounded without fighting, and kept the Japanese army to see if he could make a breakthrough...

Surrounding up? Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but suddenly he realized that Cai E's intention was very simple, to keep the Japanese army inside as bait. In ancient China, military affairs were long and there were many different methods of surrounding and fighting. As long as this part of the Japanese army was left, no matter what, the Japanese army would come to rescue it. If it really didn't save it, that would be even better. The Japanese army, who had been hungry for dozens of days, could not persist. As for the aid of the Japanese army, it would be even better. If it could use Qingdao, a place that had been operating for a long time, and continuously bleed Japan, it would be the best choice for the northwest, and might play a big role.

"Since Songpo has decided like this, I will support it with all my strength. What do I need to do?" Yang Yuanzhao's face also showed a fox-like smile and said. It was indeed General Cai. He was really thinking about such an excellent method in a short time. In an attack, there would always be damage. The cost of taking off by 5,000 tons of aviation bombs and thousands of aircraft was not small. Surrounding and waiting for Japan's rescue will not only save more, but may even expand the results of the war. It would be great if Japan sent all the remaining navy and ships.

Cai E smiled knowingly and said, "I need three divisions of engineers!"

"No problem, I will give you three soldiers and all kinds of materials to guarantee you!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a very pleasant wave of his hand.

Although the Northwest Engineer Division is an army organization, each one is much larger than the army. Each division has about 70,000 people and has more than 1,500 motor vehicles of all sizes. It can build all buildings including railway bridges. Three armies, almost 1 million people, and nearly 20,000 vehicles of different sizes. If it is built for a region of one or two hundred square kilometers, a series of defense lines can be easily formed. Of course, it is definitely impossible to be a permanent defense line at the beginning, but it is just a simple, gradually deepening defense line. The real front line lies in the temporary excavation of the army. After this outer defense line is built, the Japanese army will be unable to fly unless they swim across the Yellow Sea and the Sea of ​​Japan.

"Are there any remaining?"

"No, I will let the Japanese army here even have wings and cannot fly away." Cai E laughed loudly, and then issued a series of orders steadily, transmitting them to the surrounding troops through radio waves. After receiving the telegram, the Northwest Army itself defended the defense line also began to move. The troops, which had not encountered the Japanese army in the night, had been anxious, immediately took action when they heard the order. Six regiments and one division, totaling 42,000 people, were distributed evenly because of the arrival of the First Division.

The first division was the First Division. They did not catch the battle last night. By the time they arrived, the No. 2 Division had been annihilated. Even the division commanders Masao Koizumi and Sogoro Kawamura were captured. This was never encountered by the First Division. The orders they received now were not attacks, but to try to suppress as much as possible, and to strive to achieve a complete siege of the Japanese army and to resolutely strike when they encountered attacks.

Maybe you can meet the Japanese army that is not very eye-catching. This is the thought in the mind of the commander of the First Division. His regiments were divided into different directions, interdependent, and advanced inwardly layer by layer, quickly passing through the open zone that had been reconnaissance and had no trace of the Japanese army. By the way, they took down the remaining scattered soldiers of the Japanese army and gradually advanced towards the place where the Japanese army landed. The initial goal was to be five kilometers at the landing ground. (To be continued...)
