Both Xu Guoyi and Li Lun seemed very helpless. They were obviously affected by the enthusiasm of the meeting before, but now the enthusiasm has cooled down. After careful analysis, they realized that this airborne operation was almost a suicidal move, regardless of the strength of two battalions.

Attacking Kakuyama Fortress or holding on to the airdrop site with the previous two groups of personnel are almost impossible tasks.

Although the slogan of the paratroopers is to create miracles, in the face of this dangerous situation, the tactical goal of capturing Jiaoshan Fortress cannot be achieved, because with the main force of the five high-flying armies attacking, the Japanese army is bound to strengthen Shanhaiguan.

Regarding defense, it can be said that the Chinese army began to strengthen the overall defense of Shanhaiguan when they counterattacked the Japanese army in Wuhan. The remaining troops in North China were already mobilizing to Shanhaiguan, with deep deployment and heavy troops gathering. Shanhaiguan is what the Japanese call the last absolute stand.

In order to attack the Far East, the Japanese must ensure the absolute security of North China. However, the fierce counterattack of the Chinese army has greatly shaken the Japanese determination to defend North China. Therefore, the Japanese prepared to surround the Qinhuangdao Fortress at Shanhaiguan and cooperate with the fleet stationed here.

The Shanhaiguan Fortress was guarded to ensure that its offensive was far away.

The troops in East China are safe. In the eyes of the Japanese, the strategy of the Chinese army has always been quite satisfactory. Therefore, after the Battle of Nanjing has not yet ended, the entire North China is still relatively strategically safe. This is also the consensus of the Japanese military. Therefore, Gao

Tobi could only take advantage of the paralysis of the Japanese to achieve the suddenness of the battle.

Li Lun looked at the Jiaoshan Fortress on the sand table and said to himself: "The Jiaoshan Great Wall was built in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. It is a distance of 1.5 kilometers from Hanmenguan at the foot of the mountain to Dapingding. Most of the city walls are made of local materials and are built with rubble.

Built with city bricks and long stone ramparts in part

The height and width of the Jiaoshan Great Wall have obvious characteristics of adapting to the mountain conditions. The height of the Great Wall is generally about eight meters high, and the average width is five meters. In steep places, cliffs are also used to build these wall sections.

The outside is very steep, very

It is often difficult to attack, and the inside is very low, making it easy to climb the wall. In addition, the Japanese army used a large amount of reinforced concrete. The overall situation of Jiaoshan is dangerous, and the Jiaoshan Fortress is also extremely steep. The Great Wall here is either low and winding, or straight into the sky, looking like a belt from a distance.

The mountains hanging upside down are really spectacular. There is an ancient poem that says that since ancient times, the road to Guancheng has been dangerous, and the natural pass is at Jiaoshan. The Great Wall hangs upside down on the peak, overlooking Guancheng in front of you! It is very difficult for our army to attack Jiaoshan Fortress with light equipment, and it is easy to defeat.

It’s not easy to attack by force!”

Xu Guoyi walked around the sand table a few times and said: "Is the reverse slope of Jiaoshan Fortress a cliff? What if we send a commando team to go up from the rear while containing the front?" Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 796

Li Lun shook his head and said: "Jiaoshan Great Wall is the boundary between the two military towns of Liaodong Town and Ji Town in the Ming Dynasty. It has enemy towers, battle platforms, passes and other defensive facilities. Now these facilities are all used by the Japanese army, and the back of Jiaoshan Fortress

There is a simple and elegant ancient temple next to the mountain cliff called Qixian Temple. The monks here have been Japanese

After killing all the people, the Japanese army turned it into a military camp. It was stationed with a squadron of troops and a considerable fortification system. If our army wanted to attack, we would need to take greater risks, so I suggested that we quietly dispatch the paratroopers before they took action.

A special commando team went deep into Jiaoshan and cooperated with the paratroopers to seize the Jiaoshan Fortress."

Gao Fei thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems that this is the only way to go. You first mobilize an elite commando team and send them to sneak into the rear of the Japanese army. Our army plans to launch an attack on December 10, 1942. It will require at least twenty

time of day, first

The mechanized assault force can reach Shanhaiguan only if the Japanese army abandons the defense of Peiping. If the Japanese army continues to block attacks, our assault force will need at least forty days, which is more than double the time. So I hope your assault force will do

Be prepared."

Li Liandian nodded and said: "I understand, sir, our paratrooper special commando team is no worse than the special operations group directly under the commander's headquarters. Please rest assured, sir, but we need the cooperation of various armed forces behind enemy lines when we go deep behind enemy lines.

During this period, if the other party raises some demands, how should our army resolve them? Can a specific detachment commander resolve them according to the situation at that time and satisfy the other party's requirements?"

Gao Fei nodded in agreement. Special operations, especially operations behind enemy lines, naturally cannot take into account many concerns. It is normal to give the operational commander more power.

Gao Fei's five main forces have completed material supplies and combat plans. Nanjing, which is holding on to only a few ships, is also crumbling. The Japanese army was beaten to a roar on the Chinese battlefield, while the Southern Army held on to the first position in the Bay of Bengal.

The front troops are also there

The war with the Soviet Army in the Far East resulted in heavy casualties, but none of this affected the strategic deployment of the Japanese Navy. This was also where the Japanese played the most amazing game. The Army played with the Army, while the Navy played with great fanfare.

Play with yourself.

Just like China before the Anti-Japanese War, after the success of the Northern Expedition, the Kuomintang government established its capital in Nanjing. However, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and other Kuomintang officials all had a certain degree of strength and wanted to occupy the Central Plains. They were represented by Chiang Kai-shek.

Friction arose in the central department, and the greatest harm caused by such disunity among our own people was that the extremely ambitious and poor Japanese invaded Northeast China.

In the face of national justice, the powerful factions of these local governments had no choice but to restrain themselves. The domestic anti-Chiang momentum suddenly weakened. Chiang Kai-shek also took the opportunity to sign the "Tanggu Armistice Agreement" with the Japanese and assembled nearly half a million Central Army troops.

The troops began the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by the Communist Party. It can be said that this was a war that determined China's future destiny and current situation. Chiang Kai-shek could be said to have devoted all his strategic efforts.

In fact, in Gao Fei's eyes, the difference between Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong is that Mao Zedong was a strategist and Chiang Kai-shek was a tactician, because Chiang Kai-shek was very meticulous in arranging a battle's layout, troop firepower allocation, logistics dispatch, etc.

It was in place, but it lacked an overall strategic plan. Ultimately, it was because Chiang Kai-shek only studied the courses for junior officers in Baoding and the Japanese Military Academy.

In fact, after the outbreak of the all-out anti-Japanese war, Gao Fei insisted on the overall strategic plan of resistance step by step by the Nationalist government, which confirmed Chiang Kai-shek's unique strategic vision. The suppression of bandits was just a strategic excuse for Chiang Kai-shek at one stage. Chiang Kai-shek's strategic vision was still very good.
