Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 296 Jumping Tactics
"Angang, Bengang, and Dallion, Brother Ren's request is really a bit high." The brigade commander looked at the locations of these three places on the map and felt a little overwhelmed.

Originally, everything was proceeding according to plan, and the troops were not at all afraid of the Japanese.

However, they suddenly appeared and wanted to seize these important industrial infrastructures. For the first attack group, the difficulty level suddenly rose to 5-star level!
Especially for Dallion, it would be difficult to conquer a peninsula without any time.

"We can't just follow the routine," Ren Zhong rejected the brigade commander's new plan after listening to the front-line combat plan introduced by Staff Officer Ye.

"One step slow, every step slow. We can't keep fighting this way. We won't be able to conquer the Northeast in three months."

Ren Zhong recalled the previous battle against the Kwantung Army. The environment was different and the troops involved were also different.

In the main world's historical time and space, the Japanese were beaten even after their headquarters had already surrendered. To be honest, the main generals had lost their courage, so it was understandable that they chose to surrender on a large scale. The Japanese now have not reached the point of desperation, and it is basically impossible for the Japanese in every place to surrender upon hearing the news.

Don't think it's easy to open Jinxi and Jindong. This is because there is an insider in Jindong, which greatly reduces the time and cost of siege and break the city. There may be such opportunities in the future, but we don't expect it to be like this all the time.

Although siege warfare now has an advantage in firepower, it also brings corresponding logistical pressure. The caliber and ammunition of the main weapons of the current attack group are incompatible with those of the Japanese. The captured weapons and ammunition are actually of little use to the current attack group.

Therefore, the brigade commander and his men are already considering mobilizing second-line troops to come up and equip themselves with the Japanese standard weapons to provide auxiliary support!
Otherwise, the expenses of weapons and ammunition will worry the logistics department to death.

The captured locomotives are now basically unable to meet the huge demand for transporting troops and ammunition even at full capacity!
Most of the troops in the Second Attack Group had to choose to march on foot or take cars, so the logistics department requisitioned 3,000 early-production Red Star cars and urgently sent them north for the transportation of personnel.

It’s not that the Eighth Route Army has become less good at running away, but the time factor has become tense after Ren Zhong’s words. The original plan to take over the Northeast in three to five months would have been no problem.

However, the plan at that time did not take into account the need to seize the industrial facilities intact.

Now Ren Zhong has come up with a list of industrial infrastructure that must be taken down. The headquarters and the higher-ups dare not underestimate it and begin to do their best to speed up the advance. Not only the second attack group, but all the troops have begun to speed up!
And the key points of attack began to change.

"When we attack after calculating the number of Japanese defenders, if it is not an impassable fortress, the troops can use a leaping attack." Ren Zhong used the Rogue Eagle's leapfrog tactics and said to Staff Officer Ye.

"Originally, this tactic was extremely risky due to the lack of logistical follow-up, but now our army has an absolute advantage. We can completely jump over to Liaodong and Liaoxi and launch an all-out attack. Some fortresses cannot be captured in the short term, so we can just send troops to guard them and prevent the Japanese from coming out."

After listening to Ren Zhong's idea, Staff Officer Ye felt it was a bit risky, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Now the Japanese in Liaodong and Liaoxi have at most five or six divisions, and the first attack group has four columns charging in. Even if the Japanese mobilize a few more divisions, it should not be a problem for a column to hold one direction and wait for the second attack group to come up.

In this case, if the mechanized infantry brigade acts as a spearhead and quickly advances forward, there will be no problem in rushing directly to the Dalian Shipyard!

Who dares to provoke the Japanese along the way? I will kill them all!
In terms of follow-up, one column only needs to follow the mechanized infantry brigade.

As for logistics supply, we have reached the end of Liaodong, and across from it is the Qilu Peninsula! It is much faster to sail there for supply than to go by land!

The Japanese fleets in Bohai Sea and the Yellow River have now been destroyed by the Allied forces. An Allied destroyer squadron is waiting in the island city for the Japanese navy to show up. In this case, Staff Officer Ye feels that there seems to be great potential for success.

In fact, this was the limitation of their thinking. After Ren Zhong made this point clear, the thinking of the brigade commander and others also diverged. They compared the progress and the positions of each column with the division commander and decisively adopted Ren Zhong's idea and launched a jumping tactic!
Not only Dallion, the brigade commanders of Anshan Iron and Steel and Benxi Iron and Steel also sent a mixed force to capture it this time!
The advance team and the puppet army in Jindong will now be more useful. They will shoulder the heavy responsibility of assigning personnel to make full contact with their old connections, underground organizations, various volunteer armies, the Anti-Japanese United Army and all other national resistance forces. Their goal is to preserve the local industrial infrastructure and launch a battle to seize and defend the industrial facilities!

Compared with attacking cities, this mission is more suitable for the advance team and the second local regiment of the Northeast Autonomous Army to play to their strengths.

Now they can strive for great merit without having to fight to the death with the Japanese. For many puppet soldiers, this is a huge temptation, especially the precedent of Ma Tiancheng, which gives the puppet soldiers who have not done many evil deeds new hope. If they can also make meritorious contributions, their future will basically be completely certain.

Ren Zhong was quite conflicted about this situation at first. He thought that just because things turned out right, his previous experience as a traitor could not be washed away.

This goes against Ren Zhong's three views. If traitors are not liquidated, the soil for traitors will not be eradicated.

But Ren Zhong soon figured it out. At this juncture, occupying and acquiring infrastructure can greatly reduce the difficulty of future construction and reduce precious time for development. In order to prevent the nation from encountering new harm from the great powers after the war, these traitors are also needed to help, which can be regarded as their new contribution to the nation.

Although it cannot be simply said that the merits and demerits offset each other, there are still ways to avoid death.

He couldn't say for sure about the future of these people. According to the current historical development, the development of Dragon Country would definitely be different from the historical time and space of the main world.

Thanks to his existence, many detours can be avoided.

Anyway, under the current circumstances, it would be difficult to completely protect the initially industrialized Northeast without the active efforts of these puppet troops, so Ren Zhong did not say a word to oppose this.

Soon, Li Yunlong was tasked with launching a surprise attack on Liaodong and seizing the Dalian Shipyard.

However, the Kwantung Army had no idea that the Eighth Route Army had changed its strategy. They just saw that the Eighth Route Army began to mobilize its troops in an unnatural way, and for a while, there were reports of attacks everywhere!

I have no idea where the main focus is?
The Japanese air force was a little confused when taking off, but soon they didn't have to worry anymore. After a radar scan and discovering the Japanese air force taking off, the Divine Eagle Squadron that had moved to the front line immediately took off to fight!

Annihilate the Japanese in the air without mercy!
Although the number of fighter planes of the current Shenying Squadron is not as large as that of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the quality is already overwhelming!
In addition, the Allied Air Force entered the Qilu Peninsula, which was also very convenient for supporting Liaodong. The air forces in two directions completely suppressed the Japanese Air Force!
Although the Air Force does not have much spare space to support ground forces at present, they no longer have much problem ensuring air safety.

The three mechanized infantry brigades led by Li Yunlong crossed the entire Liaodong Peninsula in one go, and arrived at the shipyard in one day and one night.

Of course they would not do this so conspicuously, but instead surrounded the city along the shipyard, in fact surrounding the shipyard which had little defense. The notice did not allow it, and now free passage was not allowed throughout the city.

The Japanese set up a fortress here, and for Li Yunlong, attacking the fortress was a technical job.

Facing the 240mm fortress gun, Li Yunlong was still relatively cautious, but soon, Ren Zhong reported the performance parameters of the Japanese gun to Li Yunlong.

The fortress gun here has a caliber of 240 mm, a barrel length of 3.89 meters, a total weight of 38 tons, and a huge shield on the front.

Like the coastal defense guns at the time, this gun could not be maneuvered in the assembled state and its shooting flexibility was relatively poor. It used a nine-man gun crew. When shooting, the artillerymen needed to lay the gun barrel flat first, and then the loader moved the warhead to the small cart at the tail of the gun, and then loaded the warhead, propellant bag and fuse in turn, and then adjusted the angle of the gun to fire.

Based on this reaction process, most of the artillery pieces in the hands of the Eighth Route Army would have already fired four or five rounds!

Due to its history, the fortress artillery shells have little charge and fire explosive shells with an initial velocity of 387 meters per second. The maximum range is about 10 kilometers. Although it is powerful, its flexibility and range are disappointing.

Of course it was very powerful before 1930, but now the range is not enough. After looking at the parameters, Li Yunlong had an idea.

He immediately adjusted his tactics, first using 107 rocket launchers to clean up the Japanese defensive positions near the fortress! After cleaning out some of the Japanese infantry, he mobilized the anti-aircraft 88mm anti-aircraft guns to attack the Japanese fortress guns!

Using the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, which had a range far exceeding that of the Japanese fortress guns, several of the Japanese fortress guns were blown off course!
Although it was not known whether the gun could still be used, the Japanese artillerymen operating the gun were certain that it was useless and was broken into pieces!
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, Li Yunlong's assault group finally took control of the fortress and most of the urban area. After destroying the fortress group, the next day the supply transport ship from Qilu entered the port of Dalyan under the protection of the Allied fleet and provided supplies for Li Yunlong.

This allowed his attack to maintain a strong firepower advantage.

It took more than a week to capture the two major Japanese fortresses on the Liaodong Peninsula!
Completely took over this most important port city in Northeast China.

This made Ren Zhong feel greatly relieved.
