Chapter 614 Amphibious Landing Ship

The result of the discussion between Anda 23 and his subordinates was to continue to expand the defense line outside the city.

That is to say, add another line of defense outside the Yuncheng line of defense. This line of defense does not need too many troops, but at least it must be stuck on the main traffic road so that the "spray cannon" of the Eighth Route Army, which relies on automobile mobility, cannot enter the surrounding area of ​​Yuncheng to launch or it is very difficult to succeed. scale entry.

but……

What Anda 23 didn't expect was that their spirit of precaution was right, but the direction of prevention was wrong.

In fact, the kind of situation Anda 23 imagined will not happen.

The rocket launcher can indeed suppress the devil artillery, but there is uncertainty in this suppression.

For example, the accuracy of the rocket launcher is poor, and there is no guarantee how many devil artillery pieces can be blown up.

Another example is that the rockets only deal a lot of damage in an instant, and then they are gone. At this time, the devils will concentrate on artillery defense, and the tanks of the Eighth Route Army outside the city will only be bombed.

Therefore, rocket launchers are more suitable for guerrilla warfare, that is, the kind that hit and run. Continuous suppression is still better.

Anda 23 is for scaring myself, imagining that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is too powerful.

While Anda 23 and others were discussing how to defend, Wang Xuexin was discussing how to attack.

Because "offensive is better than defensive", the side that takes the offensive will always be strategically more advantageous. If, as others think, they only know how to defend blindly... then there will be loopholes here and there will be insufficient troops, and the result will be riddled with holes and eventually lost. It was a bad battle.

Wang Xuexin pointed to the map and said: "Leader, political commissar, look! The devils may indeed strengthen the defense of Yuncheng, such as barbed wire, mines, bunkers, etc., but there is one place that cannot be strengthened, and that is the salt lake in the south. This is our chance!"

Speaking of which, Wang Xuexin pointed to the map and said: "All the devil's defenses are on the east and west passages, and the fortifications on the east side face the east, and the fortifications on the west side face the west, and the space in the middle facing the salt lake section becomes a firepower vacuum! "

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, but shook his head again, and said, "Xiao Dongbei, the reason why there is a vacuum in the middle is because no one can cross the salt lake!"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong continued, "This salt lake is thirty kilometers long, five kilometers wide, and three kilometers at its narrowest point. It's true that fortifications cannot be built on the surface of the salt lake, but a duck swimming in the salt lake can see it from a long distance. Get it, if the devils put their artillery in the city and aim at the lake, you can still transport the tanks? Isn't that courting death? Fighting the tanks with the devils is better than sinking to the bottom of the lake!"

Sun Ming added: "What's more, ships are still a big problem. Although the T26 tank is small in size and moderate in weight, it still cannot be solved by rafts. If we assemble such a large ship by the lake to load tanks... the devil will still Can you not find out? When the time comes, a cannon fire will come..."

What Li Yunlong and Sun Ming said were right. The existence of the salt lake was actually an additional natural barrier for Yuncheng's defense. No one in history had successfully captured Yuncheng by crossing the salt lake from the south.

The last time he attacked Yuncheng, Chu Yunfei's attack on the south side of the salt lake was just a feint, and it was almost impossible to capture it.

But Wang Xuexin already had an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it at this time.

"What if we don't need to ship by the lake?" Wang Xuexin said.

"You don't need to be by the lake..." Sun Ming looked at Wang Xuexin suspiciously: "Then... Battalion Commander Wang, how did this tank get across the salt lake?"

Li Yunlong was impatient, he straightened his waist, and said, "I said Xiaobei, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Don't spend a long time digging and searching for the fuck to squeeze out a little. If you have something to say, hurry up!" "

"Head!" Wang Xuexin took the pen and paper from the table and began to draw, saying while drawing, "I'm thinking about something that can run on the ground and drive in the water. A car in water is like a boat..."

It's not difficult to draw this thing, just add a few rounds under a boat, and it can be finished without a few strokes. Wang Xuexin handed the picture in front of Li Yunlong and said, "It's almost like this!"

Li Yunlong took the sketch and looked at it, and asked suspiciously: "And this thing? This thing... can it be done?"

Zhao Gang is a person who has read the book. He looked at the sketch and said with certainty: "Theoretically, it can be done, and it is not difficult. The reason why it is not in reality is because there is not much demand in this regard!"

Zhao Gang is right, this is actually an amphibious landing ship.

In reality, people do not have much dual-use needs. Cars that run on the ground can run on the ground, and if they want to swim in the water, they can just walk a few steps and take a boat.

If we want to produce an amphibious vehicle that can swim in water and run on the ground, we must integrate space engines, etc. The result is more money spent but less space and less things to do In this situation, it is not cost-effective for the common people. If this kind of product is produced, only those who are not short of money will buy it, which does not meet the needs of the public.

But it is different in the military. Sometimes such a thing is needed on the battlefield, and only it is possible to win.

For example, it is the case now to cross the salt lake.

Sun Ming looked at the sketch and said "Oh", and said, "If there is such a thing, we can drive the tank to the lake, and then cross the lake and land directly under the city of Yuncheng..."

The cadres couldn't help but suddenly realized, so they all rushed to see this new thing.

Wang Xuexin nodded and said, "In this way, we save the step of loading tanks by the lake, and the Japanese defenders will find that our tanks will go ashore or even enter the city if we are not careful!"

Li Yunlong was relatively conservative. He asked with a serious face, "Even if this can be done, how can the devil's artillery fire be solved?"

"First of all!" Wang Xuexin said: "The devils definitely didn't expect us to attack from the salt lake, so the artillery fire should be set in other directions."

Everyone nodded in agreement. There was nothing wrong with it. All the troops guarding Yuncheng would not regard the salt lake as a key point of defense.

"Secondly!" Wang Xuexin said: "We can temporarily suppress the enemy artillery with rocket launchers!"

Everyone agreed again. The cadres all knew the power of the rocket launcher, and it was not a problem to suppress it for a short time.

"Finally!" Wang Xuexin said: "We can choose to forcibly cross at night, the devils can't see the lake at night, but we only need to light a light on the opposite side to indicate the direction!"

Sun Ming interjected: "But tanks don't have the ability to fight at night!"

"On the one hand, we can forge some night combat capabilities!" Wang Xuexin said: "On the other hand, we can also choose to cross when the sky is about to light, and the sky will gradually lighten when we hit the opposite side. As long as our army persists for a while, victory will belong to us! "
