Hearing this, Zhang Beihai immediately put down the wine jar: "Since this is the case, let's drink this wine later, Minister Li, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Li Hui said with a smile: "It's still Commander Xu who has color. I do have something to tell you. In fact, this time I came with a mission. The central government has a very important mission to entrust to you!"
Zhang Beihai stood up immediately, stood at attention, and shouted solemnly: "No matter what it is, we will guarantee the completion of the mission at Sea Independence, and we will never disappoint the trust of the organization!"
"No need to do this, let's sit down and talk." Li Hui stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Beihai back to his seat: "After the Shanxi and Datong battles, the Japanese Army's North China Front Army has been seriously injured. The little devil will definitely take advantage of our army to expand The army, unable to launch a large-scale offensive, has the opportunity to replenish its troops and stabilize the battle situation, but now their largest heavy-armed group, the Eleventh Army, is trapped in Wuhan and cannot escape. You can only get reinforcements from the mainland"
Zhang Beihai interrupted: "That's right, the Bohai Bay has been very lively recently. The devil's transport ships are like fish schools, coming in and out in groups, and the loads on them are all shipped from Japan." The soldiers and weapons and ammunition that came over, just three days ago, we carried out an ambush and sank two Japanese troop carriers!"
Li Hui nodded and continued: "Now it is only the front troops, and the bulk is still behind. According to the telegram we intercepted, the Japanese base camp will send 200,000 recruits to North China and Northeast China within three months to make up for the previous losses." , and plans to add fifteen divisions to the North China Front Army within one year! '
Hearing this, the eyes of the other two immediately widened, and Monk Xu muttered in shock: "Fifteen divisions there must be at least 300,000 people, that is to say, after a year , the little devil will have more than 600,000 troops in North China alone! Damn me!" They were so surprised for a reason. Even at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army only invested more than 100 troops in the battlefield in China. After the Battle of Wuhan, the number decreased to about 700,000, and North China, which belongs to the rear, maintained a strength of more than 200,000 all year round.
But these more than 200,000 devils control most of the provinces in North China, and they have suppressed the Eighth Route Army and the more than one million national troops behind the enemy. Now that they have recruited 700,000 soldiers at once, how can they not be popular? shock.
Seeing Monk Xu's expression, Li Hui nodded and said, "That's right, although we now have advantages in weapons and equipment and firepower, there is still a big gap between the quality of soldiers and the command ability of officers and the Japanese army. Let the little devil gather so many troops in North China, I am afraid it will cause great obstacles to our counterattack in the future!"
"The headquarters wants us to attack the little devil's transport ship and affect the Japanese army's transport of troops to North China?" As the saying goes, there is no heavy hammer to beat the drum. Zhang Beihai, who had also been fighting for more than ten years, immediately understood what Li Hui meant.
Li Hui nodded heavily: "That's right, it is to influence or even prevent the supply of Japanese troops in North China, so that after we complete the expansion of the army, we will have a dual advantage in both military strength and firepower against the Japanese army, and be able to annihilate them with ease."
Hearing this, Zhang Beihai immediately became excited. What does the navy do? Isn't it just to guard the seas and territories of the motherland? Now these people can finally perform their duties, but after careful consideration, he said with some concern: "It's no problem to attack the Japanese troopships, but with our current ships The quantity and tons can only block the main routes leading to Tianjin, Tanggu and other places. Even with the warships you brought in, they can only block the Bohai Bay at best.
Li Hui said with a smile: "I will solve the quantity problem. Within half a month, you will receive 10 037 patrol boats and 20 Huchuan-class torpedo boats. If not enough, I will get them again to ensure that you have enough ships." Blocking the Bohai Bay, I just don't know if you have enough sailors to drive these ships!'
Zhang Beihai patted his chest and shouted: "The personnel don't have to worry at all. In the past six months, we have recruited more than 4,000 young and strong fishermen with good water quality, knowledge of navigation and the hydrology of the Bohai Sea from the fishing villages along the coast. The more than 600 puppet sailors who surrendered formed a back brigade, and after several months of training, they are already able to skillfully drive our torpedo boats and patrol boats."
This time it was Li Hui's turn to be surprised: "My good fellow, you really have you. Before you know it, you already have nearly 10,000 troops. It seems that this independent maritime regiment should be upgraded to a brigade!"
"Isn't that why our Eighth Route Army has won the support of the people!" Zhang Beihai scratched his head in embarrassment, now he knows why the Eighth Route Army is pulling troops so fast.I have specifically learned about the performance of the aircraft we equip, and keep pace with the times, otherwise we will not be able to keep up with the times! "
"It's right to keep improving yourself." Li Hui nodded encouragingly, and then explained: "Letting the b17 carry out the bombing mission alone is indeed easy to be intercepted by Japanese fighter jets. But what I want to use is the H-5. This is my Xinnong's bomber is about the same size and bomb capacity as the B17. It is also a big thing that can pull more than ten tons of bombs. It uses the same jet engine as the J-5 and Qiang-5. Although Huang Shu is not as fast as a fighter jet, its speed is also faster It can reach 900 kilometers, and the maximum flight altitude is 12,500 meters. Those propeller planes of the little devils can neither catch up nor reach them. We can only watch our bombers blow up their ports, railways, and important facilities to pieces! '
"There are still such powerful bombers. In this way, the little devil can only be beaten, and he has no room to fight back?" Monk Xu exclaimed excitedly: "I will arrange for people to build the airport, don't you?" You know, we have captured a lot of Japanese expatriates this time around, many of them are engineers and technicians, and some of them are airport designers, manpower is not a problem, and it happens to be the slack period, as long as we take care of food, strong labor is needed There are as many as you can, but the time may be longer, after all, it is winter now, and it is a little inconvenient to carry out civil engineering, especially the cement runway, if you are not careful, it will crack!"
Li Hui said: "Don't be so troublesome. I just got a magic weapon called a perforated steel plate. It is a piece of high-density steel plate that is more than three meters long and more than one meter long. It is not only convenient and quick to use this thing to pave the track, but also Save manpower. A battalion of soldiers can lay a strip in at most five days!'
Monk Xu confidently assured: "You can always get good things that I have never even heard of. Now it will be no problem. I will send someone to take those Japanese experts to select the site in a while, and at the same time Ask the chief of staff to mobilize the troops, and work can start in three days at most!" After a pause, he asked: "The first task is finished, what about the second!"
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Li Hui's face: "This second task may be a bit difficult. I want the Twelfth Army to take down Yantai as soon as possible. First, the strategic location here is very important. Taking him down can not only block the Bohai Sea Strait, our navy can also enter the Yellow Sea, and can wantonly attack cities and military ports in the eastern Liaodong Peninsula and the western coastal areas of the Korean Peninsula, thereby further destroying the Japanese army's maritime supply lines.
Secondly, it can be used as a new base for the navy. Longkou Port is a shallow water port, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the port area lacks complete supporting facilities, so it is not suitable for berthing large warships. But Yantai is different. It itself is Shandong and even China. It is an excellent natural port in the north. After the Japanese army occupied Yantai, they invested a lot of manpower and material resources to expand it. Not only is the port wide, there are many berths, and the facilities are also very complete, which is very suitable for the enlarged navy. "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
