    Hao Shiwen, who was next to him, said: "Probably the deck is more than a hundred meters long and can accommodate dozens of aircraft."

    "That's it! That's really fucking big!"

    General He said, gently stroking his beard with his fingers.

    "In general" Xia Yang tapped the table with his fingers, turning everyone's attention to him.  ¡°The Japanese army will have a great advantage in terms of military strength.

    So, I would like to hear your opinions on this defensive operation in the Ping-Tianjin area.  "

    After everyone listened, they began to discuss in low voices.

    After a long while, General He was the first to say: "Commander Xia, we, Lao He, have never been exposed to this beach landing operation. Our Eighth Route Army is good at ground combat, mobile warfare and night combat, which we are also good at. But for beach landing operations,  We still want to hear more from you.¡±

    Xia Yang supported the command table with both hands and leaned forward slightly: "Actually the battlefield for this battle is definitely not just on the coast. The entire Pingjin area will be the battlefield where our army and the Japanese army clash.  "

    A staff officer of the Fourth Army said at this time: "If you say that, is it possible to put these little devils on the shore?

    But in this way, if we lose the defensive position on the beach, isn't it equivalent to handing over the first natural line of defense to the Japanese army?  "

    Hao Shiwen also echoed: "It is true, we have built a lot of defenses on the beach.

    Although these fortifications are relatively simple, they are still better than being in plain areas with no danger to defend.  "

    "Shou?"

    Xia Yang looked at Hao Shiwen with some confusion, "Who told you that we were fighting defensively?"

    "Could it be that we rowed a small wooden boat over to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier formation?" A staff officer of the Fourth Army looked at Xia Yang with confused eyes.

    Xia Yang shook his head, with a smile on his lips.

    "I have already seen the fortifications we built in a week.

    Facing the Japanese army¡¯s large-caliber naval guns and bombing by fighter planes from aircraft carriers, these defenses were of very limited effect.

    "The only ones that can really withstand the bombardment of Japanese warship artillery are some forts left by the Japanese army on the shore.

    But the number of these fort defensive positions is limited, and the only defensive area that can really be covered is near the port.

    ¡°But with so many places where landings can be made in the Bohai Bay, the Japanese army can eliminate most of the coastal defense positions with one round of artillery fire.

    It is really not a wise move for us to deploy all our troops within the coverage of Japanese naval guns.  "

    After hearing this, Hao Shiwen fell into silence.

    He knew in his heart that what Xia Yang said was true.

    If you give him a month, he may be able to build a solid defense line on the coast.

    But the Japanese army would not give him so much time to deploy coastal defenses. In fact, the Japanese army only gave Hao Shiwen only a week.

    In one week, Hao Shiwen could not even establish a complete bunker defense system.

    What¡¯s more, the reinforced concrete fortifications were built to withstand Japanese large-caliber artillery bombardment.

    Hao Shiwen pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "If this is the case, then we need to retreat about thirty kilometers inland. Because within thirty kilometers, the Japanese naval guns are within the coverage area.

    If we had been within the coverage of Japanese naval guns, the battle to defend Pingjin would have been the same as the Battle of Songhu.  "

    General He also interjected at this time: "Yes! During the Songhu Battle, the Japanese naval gunfire was able to cover almost the entire main urban area of ??Shanghai.

    The Japanese army used the firepower of those naval guns to carry out large-scale bombardment of the national troops on the shore.

    The result was that many of the Chinese troops participating in the Battle of Songhu were destroyed by intensive Japanese naval bombardment before even seeing the shadow of the Japs.  "

    "Of course I know these situations, so I said that it would be unwise to concentrate all our troops on the beachhead.

    ¡°The only things that are truly worth investing in our troops to defend are ports with very tight defense systems.  "

    Xia Yang said this, and his finger fell on the Tianjin Haihe River.?? position.

    On both sides of its estuary are Tianjin¡¯s important seaports.

    This harbor is a deep-water port and can even directly berth large ships such as Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships.

    If this place is occupied, the Japanese troops will land faster. At the same time, they can also directly build a logistics supply base here and the springboard needed to attack the Pingjin area.

    ¡°Then what you mean is that we leave one unit to hold on to the port. At the same time, other units will let the Japanese troops enter the Pingjin area.

    Then our ground troops will attack the Japanese troops far away from the coastline?  "

    Hao Shiwen said.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. But it's more than that. I want to do more, even"

    Having said this, he showed a mysterious smile and did not say the rest.

    Everyone no longer asked, because they knew that if it was really what Xia Yang said, they needed a troops to hold the courage to die and stick to the port of Tianjin.

    When the Japanese army completes the landing operation, the force holding the port will face fierce attacks from four or even five directions by the Japanese army.

    By then, the only ones that can provide them with fire support will be artillery firepower and some air force firepower.

    ¡°Other than that, they can only rely on themselves and hold on until the battle in the Pingjin area is over.

    "I'll take the people and hold on to the port!"

    Hao Shiwen slapped the table and said, "I am most familiar with the defense system here. At that time, the Japanese army left a lot of defenses around the port. I personally had people reinforce these defenses.

    So I stay here to direct the defensive operations of the port. I will definitely be able to persist until the end of the battle and prevent the Japanese army from occupying this port.  "

    After saying these words, General He looked at Hao Shiwen and his eyes were filled with admiration.

    Because he did not expect that the chief of staff, who looked like a scholar, would have the courage to face death.

    "Our Eighth Route Army can dispatch a regiment of two thousand troops to assist you in the battle." General He said at this time.

    As soon as he finished speaking, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army immediately raised their palms high.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
