"You kid have really opened my eyes this time. You are much more heroic than me. If I meet an opponent like you, I really don't have any good tricks to deal with you. The more conventional the tactics, the harder it is to break them." Li Yunlong said with emotion.
The honest man Kong Jie was also shocked. He did not expect Lin Zhenhua to use this trick. Looking at the bombs falling into the enemy's position one after another, he said with lingering fear: "College student, your tactics are indeed standard, but it is too difficult to crack. Once the Japanese use the same tactics on us, we will not be able to resist with our current strength. We must prepare for a rainy day and think of a response plan in advance."
Kong Jie's words were recognized by everyone present. With the strength of the Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district, they were still unable to compete with the Japanese 12th Army, not to mention the more powerful North China Front Army.
"Everyone, you really don't need to worry too much. I have already prepared a response plan. If the Japanese dare to use the same tactics against us, we really don't need to be afraid."
"In the next six months, we will build a large number of bunkers in the base area, and also build a simple railway for emergency mobilization of troops to ensure that no matter where the Japanese attack the base area, reinforcements can arrive within two and a half hours."
"From this battle, we can draw an important conclusion, that is, the air force will play an increasingly important role in the battle between the enemy and us, and sometimes it can even directly change the outcome of the war. This must be given enough attention by us."
"Next, we must increase investment in the air force, and at the same time, we must work hard on air defense. I plan to build a large number of anti-aircraft artillery in the base to solve the air defense problem in the base. This time the amount of work is very large, and we need to mobilize the people in our base to complete it."
"After half a month of thinking, I have already made a draft in my mind. Give me three days and I can come up with a design plan. According to my estimation, in the next six months, we will become a thorn in the eyes of the devils. The devils will use a large number of fighter planes to bomb our base. We must prepare for this in advance."
"It is too difficult for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army to succeed in this counterattack. I specially asked the reconnaissance plane to collect intelligence on the devils and came to an important conclusion, that is, the strength of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army is not as strong as we imagined. The current strength of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army is actually very weak. If we don't help, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army may really not be able to hold on."
"I didn't take the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's counterattack seriously before. After all, those counterattacks were just small fights. But this time it directly involves the Shuiquan Oilfield, and I also attach great importance to it. Our base is also very short of oil, and we haven't found an oil field yet. The quality of synthetic gasoline is not as good as gasoline refined from petroleum. If our fighter planes want to have stronger explosive power, we must make some efforts on fuel."
"Our current engine performance cannot be improved in the short term. We can only think of ways to improve fuel. Otherwise, even if our Raiden and Lightning fighters work well together, it will be difficult for them to gain an overwhelming advantage over the Zero fighters."
"According to the intelligence that Hirata Kojiro passed back earlier, a batch of brand new Zero fighters will enter service in the 12th Army in ten days. These brand new fighters are incomparable in performance to the fighters currently used by the Japanese air force. I have said before that the Zero-Time fighters currently used by the Japanese are only % of the brand new Zero-Time fighters."
"At that time, many people didn't believe me and thought I was exaggerating. I was just trying to boost the Japanese's morale and destroy my own prestige. But they didn't know how powerful the Zero fighter was. Everyone can express their determination, but it's just empty talk. In a real fight, the performance of the fighter can play a 95% role in an air battle."
"I'm not exaggerating. When the Zero fighter first went into battle, it achieved an extremely high loss-to-combat ratio. No fighter has broken this record to date."
Lin Zhenhua pointed this out directly to them. With the introduction of many new equipment, most commanders and fighters became blindly confident, thinking that the Japanese were no more capable than them. They even had the crazy idea of taking over the entire northern Shanxi region in three months.
Li Yunlong scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He had been bragging a little too much these days and had indeed set a bad example. Originally, he was just bragging, but who could have thought that so many people would take it seriously? This was something Li Yunlong had never thought of before.
"College student, Lao Ding and I are most responsible for this matter. We both boasted a lot on a daily basis, and the monk was so unreasonable and didn't hold back when he spoke. This is indeed the fault of Lao Ding and I. We will never escape responsibility. After this battle, we will definitely review it for all the soldiers."
"If it's wrong, it's wrong. Lao Ding and I will never shirk our responsibilities. You can rest assured about this. Lao Ding, don't just stand there. Hurry up and stand up and express your views!"
Military strategist Ding Wei had a very depressed look on his face. He didn't expect that the conversation would involve him. When it comes to bragging, Ding Wei believes that he is not inferior to Li Yunlong, but he is not as boastful as Li Yunlong. However, this time, the blame must be borne by both of them, and it is not unfair for them to bear it.
"College student, this matter is indeed the fault of Lao Li and me. We two shouldn't have been making random comments or quarreling. Lao Li has already admitted his mistake, and I, Ding Wei, have nothing to explain. We should admit our mistakes. After this battle, Lao Li and I will review them for all the soldiers and ask them to correct their attitudes. They must not speak like we did, without any sense of responsibility!"
Lin Zhenhua knew that the two men were sincerely admitting their mistakes and had no intention of pretending to obey. The reason why he brought up this matter was to eliminate the mentality of underestimating the enemy among the troops.
"College student, we have already carried out three rounds of bombing on the Japanese. I think we can let the air force battalion take a break. Today's weather is too hot. If we continue fighting, there will be large-scale non-combat casualties." Zhao Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded worriedly.
Lin Zhenhua looked at the thermometer and saw that the temperature was 36 degrees Celsius. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied: "Order the air force battalion to stop the attack and let the soldiers have a good rest! However, the ground bombardment must be carried out from time to time. We can't let the Japanese get away with it."
Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, two heavy artillery companies carried out intermittent artillery bombardment on the Japanese positions, while the rest of the soldiers hid in a cool place, drank thirst-quenching mung bean water, and chatted happily.
Compared to the ease and comfort of Li Yunlong and his men, Jun'ichi Aoki encountered huge troubles. The water source that survived before was destroyed in the second bombing, which made it impossible for the Aoki Division to obtain drinking water. The drinking water they stored before could only support half a day at most. As the weather got hotter, people's demand for water was also increasing.
The drinking water that could be used for half a day could only be used for more than three hours at most, which made Junichi Aoki feel a huge crisis. He could only order to reduce the supply of drinking water to the puppet army and strengthen the drinking water guarantee for the devil troops, but this order directly stirred up a hornet's nest, causing the puppet army to rebel again.
In order to quell the rebellion of the puppet army, Jun'ichi Aoki had to mobilize a large number of troops again to quell the rebellion. After an hour of fighting, the rebellion was finally quelled. However, the casualties of the Japanese were greater than before, and they directly lost two squadrons of troops. This made Jun'ichi Aoki very distressed, and he even had the dangerous idea of killing all the remaining puppet troops.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, we should give the puppet army a chance to survive. We can let the puppet army take the lead in breaking through, and we just need to follow behind and pick up what we can. We still have plenty of drinking water now, but once it's night, the situation will change drastically. The warriors are very likely to suffer large-scale non-combat casualties due to lack of water. By then, we won't be able to retreat even if we want to." Ichiro Tada persuaded anxiously.
However, Junichi Aoki simply refused to listen. The continuous failures dealt a huge blow to Junichi Aoki, making him irritable. Lin Zhenhua's psychological warfare was very skillful. He wanted to use this tactic to force Junichi Aoki to withdraw his troops.
It was precisely because he realized this that Junichi Aoki became more and more unwilling in his heart. He decided to launch a large-scale counterattack to tell Lin Zhenhua that he, Junichi Aoki, was not a person who just wanted to eat and do nothing. If he just ran away in disgrace, it would be too embarrassing and would cause a huge blow to the morale of the army. Once the people's hearts were scattered, the team would be impossible to lead. Junichi Aoki saw this very clearly.
Jun'ichi Aoki said in a cold tone: "Tada, the situation we are facing is much more serious than you think. The enemy is telling us clearly that he is playing psychological warfare with us. We can't be led by him. Since we can't hold the position of Xiaosongling, we might as well change our thinking and attack Heiyunling directly. As long as we can take Heiyunling, we can meet up with the Yoshiwara Brigade, and all the current crises can be solved."
