Rise from the sword

Chapter 648

subcontinent.

In the center of a certain coastal city, there is a building with plaster flags hanging and a large number of devils guarding the door.

"South County."

Looking at the map of the Republic of China on the table, Yamamoto looked worried.

On the side, Gangcun also stared at Nanxian with worry.

Next to the map, there was a thick piece of information about various aspects of the Republic of China, which was sent by people sent by Dohiyuan. This information was read inside and out several times, and it was spread scattered beside the table.

Although the two were in the subcontinent, they were playing turbans and John Bull, but it was clear that their hearts were not here.

Instead, he still pays close attention to the war in the Republic of China.

He even paid more attention to it than his own command.

It stands to reason that, as the commanders of the Imperial Army's Subcontinental Army, the two should be concerned with the war in the subcontinent and find a way to quickly end the war. After all, they are only taking down the coastal areas now.

But neither Yamamoto nor Gangcun are worried about attacking the next mainland.

In terms of strength on paper, the industrial strength here is stronger than that of the Republic of China at the beginning of the war. Of course, that was seven years ago, but at present, due to the containment of the Western Front, the troops of the Empire on which the sun never sets here are pitifully weak. The power is also full of contradictions and lacks a unified command.

The resistance is pitifully weak.

As long as they are given a little time to divide the local forces through conflicts of interest, and then supplemented by military offensives, they can easily take over the next continent and provide resources, markets, and labor for the empire.

At that time, a steady stream of power will be transported to the mainland by sea to enhance the strength of the Great Japanese Empire.

But the problem is.

Shipping needs to pass through the South China Sea area of ​​the Republic of China, and this is what the two are really worried about.

Can the United Empire Fleet, the Navy Red Deer, ensure that the resources they have worked so hard to plunder reach the mainland safely?Can this overseas life-saving blood vessel be kept?
Although Li Yunlong and his group only have a dozen torpedo boats at the moment, based on the experience of fighting Li Yunlong before, no one knows what he will take out next.

Even now that Li Yunlong and others have created a battleship fleet, an aircraft carrier fleet, or even a battle group, and some new weapons, Yamamoto is not surprised at all.

And even without these, as long as some aircraft are deployed in Nan County, most of the South China Sea can be blocked, forcing the imperial transport fleet to stay away from the safe waterway and choose a farther route.

The fleet of horse dung may not necessarily be able to deal with the shore-based fleet.

And those torpedo boats are also a great threat.

Because just yesterday, a transport ship was sunk by an enemy torpedo boat and lost a lot of food and ore.

But no matter how worried the two of them were, it was useless. As horse dung, even if they were a general and a lieutenant general, the red deer would never listen to a word of them, and even deliberately turned the other way.

"Send another warning message."

Yamamoto's eyes flashed.

He knew it was useless, but he still had to say it, otherwise the two of them would be in trouble after the accident.

"really."

Gangcun also nodded in agreement.

Both of them are people who have fought against Li Yunlong and others many times. They can deeply understand how incredible and unreasonable Li Yunlong is, but others don't know, especially the red deer.

·····
Homegrown.

Combined Fleet Command.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Deputy Takeshi Toyoda frowned and said in a bad tone:
"Yamamoto and Gangcun let us guard against the enemy's establishment of an airport in Nan County?"

"It's ridiculous, just a few torpedo boats and the sinking of a transport ship scared them out of their wits?!"

Then he sneered and threw the telegram far away.

The night before yesterday, an imperial transport ship in the South China Sea area of ​​the Republic of China broke away from the team due to a power failure and was sunk by an enemy torpedo boat. It lost nearly [-] tons of food and some iron ore, and the crew was all broken. Of course he knew about it.

The manures get nervous, but he's not worried at all.

In a naval battle, it is quite normal to lose one or two transport ships.When the empire was at war with the United States, more than a hundred transport ships were lost, and the empire survived. Now there is only one. Of course, he is not nervous at all.

Now that the empire is out of the Pacific War, the United States is doing its best to deal with the Western Front War. As for the mainland, although it has suffered heavy bombing, it has lost small factories in light industry, as well as aircraft manufacturing and army tank factories.

The Navy's shipyard losses were minimal.

Although the bombing continued, after a period of adjustment, it has adapted to the enemy's bombing, and the industrial losses have gradually eased and even begun to recover.

After the raw materials were settled, the output of steel in the empire also began to increase.

A mere transport ship can be replenished soon.

"Do they think the naval aircraft carrier is a display?"

Furious, Deputy Takeshi Toyoda cursed again.

The enemy built an airport in Nan County, of course he also thought about it, this is indeed possible, and it can also threaten the South China Sea route.

But the navy is not horse dung. The navy has an aircraft carrier and a fleet of hundreds of mobile aircraft. If the enemy's airport wants to gain a foothold in Nan County, it must at least be able to withstand the attack of the navy's mobile fleet.

Attack by several hundred naval aircraft.

Unless the enemy can also deploy more than [-] shore-based aircraft, and, while building the airport, must also deploy a strong air defense system, the warning network can effectively threaten the South China Sea route.

Otherwise, Nanxian Airport will send the results of the battle to the United Fleet.

But how much manpower and material resources are needed to build such a large-scale airport and aircraft fleet?The Guangdong-Han Railway has been destroyed, and it will take at least half a year to repair it. Relying on the road, can such a huge amount of materials be transported?
It is absolutely impossible.

Don't even think about it with a brain full of horse dung.

Beside him, Staff Officer Kuroda picked up the telegram and fell into deep thought. Then he looked at his commander, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Common sense is indeed impossible.

But the group of people on the opposite side didn't seem to be quite in line with common sense.

It's just that he also knows that it's useless to say what he said, or because, from a common sense point of view, it's impossible, and it's impossible for the combined fleet to deploy in Nan County because of unwarranted possibilities.

No one will agree.

"General, we should pay attention to what the two of them said, even if it is nonsense."

In the end, Kuroda changed his perspective on the matter.

"really."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda also came down the steps.

He believed that it was absolutely impossible for the enemy to establish an airport in Nan County in the short term, and it was absolutely impossible to threaten the route. As for the torpedo boats, as long as he strengthened the escort, he could solve the problem, and as long as he strengthened his vigilance, he could guarantee safety by not taking routes that might conceal the torpedo boats.

But those two were generals after all, with nearly 20 troops in their hands.

Not only conquered the next continent, but also recently provided the empire with a large amount of iron ore, coal, and grain. It has a high voice in the country, especially Gangcun, who is hailed as a possible candidate for the next generation of prime ministers.

General Yamamoto is also in sight.

Even he has to pay attention to it.

"Send someone to Nan County to investigate."

Deputy Takeshi Toyota finally said.

······
"Let the second battalion, third battalion, fifth battalion, seventh battalion, eighth battalion, and ninth battalion come here for a meeting."

As soon as the bomber fleet took off, Huang Quan shifted his work focus.

Establish a new air force base in the south, deploy about attack aircraft and fighter jets, threaten the South China Sea route of the devils, and block the materials transported from Southeast Asia and the subcontinent to the devil's homeland.

Although he also wanted to cut it off, it was basically impossible with the current strength of the troops.

The flight range of the plane is limited. Taking off from Nanxian County can only threaten the Devils transport ships within a range of [-] kilometers. The Devils Navy is not muddy.

But an island base, even with a warehouse, is not an easy task.

So it's a block.

Fortunately, with Wang Gensheng's torpedo boat team, the South China Sea area is basically moving sideways. Even if the little devils join the fleet to attack, they can repel it with the air defense battalion, and maybe even take advantage of it.

Of course, the Air Force needs to be stronger.

As a result, Huang Quan sent six battalions at one time, with a total of more than [-] aircraft, including two battalions of attack aircraft and four battalions of fighter jets.

"The independent aerial reconnaissance company is also here."

Finally Huang Quan added.

Independent Air Reconnaissance Company, the newly formed reconnaissance company, is under the direct command of the Independent Regiment Headquarters. The aircraft equipped are twin-engine transport aircraft, a total of five.

Of course, the twin-engine transport plane is just a carrier, and the equipment on the plane is really advanced.

The latest airborne radar can detect targets more than 130 kilometers away. Because of clutter, its effect on the ground is greatly reduced, but at sea, it is the place where these new radars play a role.

With these reconnaissance planes, devil transport ships, warships, and aircraft can be found in time to achieve transparency on the battlefield, and this type of aircraft can also provide navigation and communication relays to facilitate command.

The meeting is very simple, basically it is to announce the order, and then prepare separately.

Because there is currently no airport in Nan County, and there are a large number of ghosts around, it is not safe to directly transport them to the destination by air. Therefore, the pilots of the six battalions, the ground crew, and the air defense battalion will first arrive in Hengyang by plane, then transfer to the southern frontline field airport, and finally pass by by car. Three hundred kilometers to Nanxian.

The whole process took five days.

As for the equipment, it is shipped directly from the 'warehouse'.

But before that, a warehouse and a barracks needed to be built in Nan County.

····
the next day.

early morning.

The devil red deer acted very decisively.

The day after Toyoda's words fell, a team of investigators began to go to Nan County.Of course, this is largely due to the high penetration of the devils in the south. Not only spies, but many businessmen and even ordinary people are the eyes and spies of the devils.

After all, the time is short, and the army has not yet completed the eradication of the devil's spy network.

subcontinent.

coastal ports.

"Set off."

Under the watchful eyes of Yamamoto, ten transport ships loaded with grain, iron and copper ore left the port under the escort of several devil frigates

Heyuan County.

Thousands of pilots, ground crew, and air defense battalion fighters also boarded the plane and flew south.

south county.

conference room.

The former guerrilla captain, now the person in charge of the Nanxian base looked around the crowd:
"This task is very difficult."

"We're going to repair and extend the 55-mile South Coast Highway to the point where trucks can pass it, and build a warehouse and barracks in five days."

After the voice fell, everyone in the conference room frowned, and a low voice sounded.

This is not an easy task.

There are actually two roads in Nanxian County, one of which is the west road. The road is wide and has a strong traffic capacity. Destruction of the gorge wall caused landslides.

It is impossible to repair in a short time.

Speaking of the South Bank Highway, the devils did not destroy anything, and there were almost no bridges, but this road is very old and can only accommodate horse-drawn carriages. It is not a simple project to pass cars, even large cars.

"Considering the arduous task this time."

After a pause, the person in charge of Nan County continued:
"So, the superior sent us a few technicians, and..."

As he spoke, he took out a box and put it on the table.

The box was opened, revealing a box full of food stamps inside.

Immediately, everyone stopped breathing, their eyes fixed on the box full of food coupons.
