"That's a good question. Our air force is about to take off now."
Qin Shiming said, then looked towards the dark blue and almost black night sky in the distance.
"Night bombing?"
Wei Xing asked.
"Yes, for night bombing, our fighter planes are equipped with simple infrared night vision instruments. It is not very difficult to search for targets on the sea at night.
As soon as the location of the little Japanese warship is found, violent bombing will be carried out immediately. "
¡°Moreover, this time, in order to deal with the Japs¡¯ aircraft carrier formation, I dispatched more than 300 fighter jets and more than 200 bombers. "
As he said that, Xia Yang's eyes showed a kind of excitement that was almost like a gambler's stud.
"Military seat, are you gambling?"
Wei Xing said at this time, with a little worry in his tone.
Xia Yang said: "This is what war is like. Many times, what seems to be gambling has the certainty of victory behind it.
This attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group seems like a gamble, but it is not.
This is the final conclusion I came to after repeated deductions and many discussions with the commanders of the air force division.
In night operations, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower will be greatly restricted, while our fighters and bombers can use carried torpedoes, modified rocket nests, etc. to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
I don¡¯t believe that the little devil¡¯s fleet can withstand such a bombing. "
As he said this, Xia Yang became more confident in his eyes.
"I see, but even so, the risk is not small. So many fighters and bombers already account for more than half of our military's air power."
Wei Xingdao.
"Indeed, but if you ignore these warships, think about so many naval guns and Japanese carrier-based aircraft formations bombarding our ground forces at the same time. What would it be like? ?
¡°Can you bear to see our soldiers being ravaged by the Japanese naval gunfire like this?
It is precisely because of this that we must launch such an attack against the Japanese fleet. "
Wei Xing said: "Well, I will urge our forward troops to seize the time to attack the Japanese positions."
Xia Yang nodded and said: "By the way, there is one more thing. You tell them that when attacking, they must be careful not to be bypassed by the little Japanese infantry.
Although they have a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, the number of infantry used to cover them is limited, so be careful. "
"okay, I get it."
After Wei Xing finished speaking, he walked outside.
At this moment, on the defensive position of the 41st Regiment of the Japanese Army, a brigade supported by the Japanese Army has arrived.
This is not an ordinary Japanese brigade, but an integrated armored brigade.
In addition to this brigade, the Japanese army also mobilized two heavy artillery regiments and a combat artillery brigade to provide fire support for the defensive positions in the rear of the Japanese army.
As a result, the strength of the Japanese army in the rear defense line has increased from more than 5,000 to about 20,000 now.
Opposite them, about three kilometers away, Liu Fudong was observing the situation of the Japanese position opposite.
Using night vision devices, he could clearly see the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side in the darkness.
"The number of little devils is increasing."
As Liu Fudong spoke, the beard on his face began to move slightly in the spring evening breeze.
The staff officer beside him said: "Our reconnaissance force said that the troops supported by the Japs this time were more than 10,000. And they were all elites, including dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as many heavy artillery. , and anti-war artillery designed to deal with us."
Liu Fudong chuckled and said, "The more people come, the better. Tonight, we have to break through the little devil's line of defense."
They have received accurate information. About five kilometers behind the Japanese defense line, a stronger Japanese position is being built.
In this way, the Japanese army is equivalent to an extra line of defense. Even if they penetrate the Japanese defense line in front of them, they still need to face the subsequent Japanese defense line.
&nbAbove, the Japanese aircraft carrier and a large number of warships are approaching in this direction.
The person responsible for commanding these two aircraft carrier formations is Japanese Navy Admiral Seiji Hojo.
At this time, Hojo Seiji was wearing a sea blue windbreaker, blowing by the sea breeze, looking at the calm sea in the distance with cold eyes.
"How far is it from the coastline?"
Hojo Seiji asked in a cold voice.
"There are still about sixty kilometers, and in two hours at most, we can enter the battle."
Behind him, a Japanese naval staff officer said loudly.
He had to speak louder, otherwise his voice would be shattered by the sound of the huge waves as the aircraft carrier moved forward, and the sea breeze blowing from all directions.
"Command the fleet to prepare for battle. I can already vaguely smell the smoke of gunpowder in the air."
The somewhat skinny Hojo Seiji said, standing firmly in the sea breeze.
"yes!"
his staff officer shouted.
In his headquarters, a telegram has been translated.
"The enemy's armored forces have begun to launch a fierce attack on our rear line of defense. I hope that after your troops arrive at the designated sea area, they can launch a fierce bombardment of the enemy's ground troops with naval guns!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
