    You can search for "Anti-Japanese War on the Yellow Sand" in Baidu to find the latest chapters!

    Courage and belief can support the Chinese Navy and fight bravely with the Japanese Navy.  But courage and faith are neither aircraft carriers nor large-caliber artillery. They cannot sink Japanese aircraft carriers, nor can they sink the heavy armor of Japanese battleships.

    "But what does the Navy have to do with the land?" A teacher from the 59th Army asked.

    Xia Yang said: "Japanese naval battleships! As long as they park at the mouth of the Yangtze River, their naval guns can bombard our defenders! The shore defense positions that you thought were unbreakable will cease to exist under the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery.  . If our army sticks to the beachhead position, it will have to pay casualties several times that of the Japanese army."

    Having said this, he looked around at everyone and said: "Do you know how big the caliber is on the Japanese battleships? That is much larger than the 60 field guns that bombarded us in Beiping City. One shot down, and a whole city block was gone! One shot down.  , all trenches and fortifications will be razed to the ground!"

    Everyone was silent, and they felt suddenly enlightened.  It turns out that the navy can help the army fight the war.

    Xia Yang continued: "Let's talk about the Japanese Air Force. They have the largest aviation force in Asia, and they also have very advanced Zero fighter jets. This fighter jet is very strong, and neither the British nor the Americans can do anything about it. Our Chinese Air Force is very  Brave, we had a head-on confrontation with them this morning, but we did not lose. But our air force is too small, with a total of more than 100 fighter jets."

    At this time, Tian Le said: "Aren't you afraid? Our fighter jets are one against three. Are you afraid that we won't shoot them all down?"

    Xia Yang retorted: "Even if we can fight one against ten, it's useless! Do you know why?"

    Tianle was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why?" He couldn't understand why our air force could be one against ten, but it was still no match for the Japanese air force.

    Xia Yang said: "It's simple, because one of the Japs' planes was shot down, they can build ten more! But our planes were shot down, and we can't build them ourselves!"

    He was talking about the reality. At that time, China did not even have a basic industrial system.

    At that time, the aircraft of the domestic air force were basically purchased from abroad.  Although they seem to be of some scale, those aircraft are disposable consumables. After they are used up, we cannot produce them ourselves and can only buy them from abroad.  But when buying from abroad, you need to consider one of the biggest issues - money.

    At this time, China was experiencing wars for years, refugees and famine were everywhere, and the economy was struggling on the verge of collapse.  In China at that time, the government would even put military funds in banks to increase interest rates, instead of using them to purchase advanced weapons and equipment, or purchase machinery to build their own aircraft or even tank manufacturing factories.

    "So I think that in the early stages of this battle, we may be able to rely on our numerical advantage, our determination and courage to defend our homeland and the indomitable will of our descendants of Yan and Huang to fight, and fight a tug-of-war with the Japanese army in Shanghai.  There is a stalemate in the region. But this situation will not last long," Xia Yang said.

    Commander Feng's interest was aroused at this time, and he asked: "Then how do you think the battle will develop in the future?"

    Not only Commander Feng, but also the other division commanders and brigade commanders of the 59th Army who participated in the war game, began to listen carefully to Xia Yang's speculation on the form of the battle.

    "The reason why it won't last long is actually very simple. Because we hold on to the defense line with the lives of our soldiers. But when the Japanese army breaks through the defense line, they first bombard the position with naval guns on the river, and at the same time bombers and fighter jets attack  The position was bombarded repeatedly. They were fighting in coordination with the sea, land and air, but we only had the army, confronting them head-on." Xia Yang said with a sad tone.

    Hearing what Xia Yang said, Commander Feng and other people in the headquarters could even imagine it.

    On the long riverside and coastal defenses in the Songhu area, our soldiers huddled in trenches.  Above their heads were huge naval gun shells.

    These shells are so powerful that if one shell falls, they will have no effect even if they hide in the trench.  Because these artillery shells will turn up the entire land hundreds of meters in radius, but within the bombardment range of these artillery shells, the internal organs will be shattered by the huge impact, or torn into pieces by the explosion.

    At the same time, enemy bombers will keep passing over their heads.  Then aerial bombs and incendiary bombs were dropped on the positions they held.

    Aerial bombs are okay, but incendiary bombs will spread quickly in the trenches after landing, burning all the soldiers hiding in the trenches.ash.  At the same time, the Zero fighter jets will roar over their heads, their cannons roaring, and their bullets will be tilted on our military positions. As long as the soldiers show their heads for a moment, they may be killed.

    By the time all this was over, the number of soldiers who could survive on the battlefield was less than half of the original number.  Before the soldiers could carry the sick and wounded to the rear, the Japs had already begun to charge.

    "Charging with these little devils, there are also tanks.  Although the armor of Japanese tanks at that time was very thin, it was still compared to the German Tiger tanks.  It is completely sufficient to deal with the Chinese army, which has few horizontal artillery pieces.

    By that time, the Chinese soldiers who had suffered more than half of their casualties would have to face the elite Japanese troops who were equally fearless, more well-equipped, and had more ammunition.

    When thinking of such a scene, Commander Feng, Chen Cunpu, and other commanders of the 59th Army gasped and almost fell into complete despair.

    Commander Feng struggled for a while and asked: "But what happens next!"

    Xia Yang looked at the frustrated expressions on the faces of the officers around him and knew that it might be too early to tell them this.  But this is what they will face sooner or later.

    Even if Xia Yang doesn't say this now, in a few months, they will hear from the radio the news that Shanghai and Nanjing have all fallen.

    "Our soldiers, after suffering huge casualties, can only choose to retreat. If they continue to hold on, there is a risk of being completely annihilated, which will cause even greater losses. The Japanese army will occupy Shanghai and pursue the victory, chasing our butts.  , until we occupy this place!" Xia Yang said, pointing his finger at Nanjing, the capital of China at that time!

    Hearing these words, a division commander sat down on his chair and murmured the words at the corner of his mouth: "Destroy China in three months! Destroy China in three months! Do we really have no hope of winning?" (Recorder)  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
