He could only roughly know the timing of the major battles and some of the more famous historical events. As for the specifics, he did not know.
In order to prevent the Japanese from catching them off guard, Xia Zilong immediately equipped the Air Force with ten reconnaissance planes.
This included the Eagle Country's Mosquito aircraft, the US 'F-5 reconnaissance aircraft modified from the P-38, the F-13 high-altitude long-range reconnaissance aircraft modified from the B-29 bomber, the German's Bv141, and so on.
These planes were all reconnaissance planes with excellent performance, enough to detect all movements within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
There was no other way. Although the system even had missile satellites after World War II, there was no condition to launch them now.
However, their positions were very strange. Missiles were treated as ordinary military supplies, and satellites were used as military auxiliary equipment. They were not treated as independent military services by the system at all.
It was precisely because he was like a child who held a sword but did not know how to use it that he added an intellectual condition just now.
It was a pity that there were too few scholars these days, and highly educated people were even rarer. He could only take it slow.
With the reconnaissance plane, he would soon be able to find out the situation of the Japanese gathering in Datong and Zhang Jiakou. Therefore, he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter for the past few days!
Just as he was racking his brains, Tie Guozhu arrived.
"Old Tie, you came at the right time. I was just about to look for you!”
"Marshal, what's the matter?"
"Things are a little tricky. Look, this is the latest news. The Japanese are going to be ruthless to us!”
Tie Guozhu's expression turned grave when he read the report.
"Good heavens, this is almost the size of two divisions. If we add in the puppet troops from other places, it will be a little troublesome!”
Xia Zilong said," Yeah, we've stirred up a hornet's nest. The fire is burning so brightly that they can't sit still anymore."”
" This is within expectations," Tie Guozhu said." However, this means that our ratio is slightly insufficient. How about…"
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll follow your wishes and expand your army, alright?”
"Ahahaha…Great Marshal is wise!”
"Heh, doesn't that mean I wasn't wise in the past?”
"No, no, the marshal is still as wise and handsome as ever…"
"Stop flattering me! But this time, I can't give you a tank division. I can only give you half! Firstly, they did not have enough money, and secondly, they needed to increase the number of people in the air force.”
" The air force is indeed a crucial part," Tie Guozhu said." How much does the commander plan to increase their numbers?"”
"Let's fill in an air strategist! 600 planes are enough for us to temporarily occupy the air superiority of Chahar.”
In fact, it was not just Chahar. He estimated that he could take control of the entire North China region.
At this time, the number of Japanese planes was only about 4000, and they were distributed in Northeast China, North China, and Central China.
Although they could produce 1000 planes a year, their planes were a little behind the western countries.
That was to say, China did not have any planes or production capacity. Otherwise, they would not have dared to call for an end to the war in three months.
Moreover, two months after the war broke out last year, foreign countries had stopped selling aircraft to China, and they had completely lost control of the air.
At this time, they were even more arrogant. The planes in their hands were also scattered. It was estimated that there were only 1000 planes in North China.
Xia Zilong's plane was better than theirs in terms of performance. It was not a big problem for them to fight 600 against 1000.
Although Tie Guozhu was a little unhappy, he knew the importance of air superiority, so he did not object.
"Old Tie, have you decided how to deal with it?”
"Marshal, they are attacking from both sides, but in reality, the main force is the Da Tong group. The enemy's 26th Regiment and the independent 2nd Brigade are basically all here. I think we should focus on them.”
Xia Zilong nodded. However, I have some ideas about the Pingjin area. I want to see how to occupy Hebei.”
"Why does the marshal want to attack that place so quickly? Shouldn't we occupy Chahar first?”
"Navy!" Xia Zilong said faintly.”
Oh, understood!
Tie Guozhu finally understood his intentions. If he wanted to develop the navy, he had to move east and occupy Hebei.
"But, marshal, the navy is a gold mine. Aren't we out of money?”
"When the time comes, we'll occupy so much territory. Moreover, we can also sell them for money. Selling high and buying low, how cost-effective!”
Alright, you have the final say!
However, Tie Guozhu frowned and said solemnly,""If that's the case, then there's a problem with our plan.”
"What's wrong?"
"If we attack the devils in Datong first, then the road to Zhang Jiakou will definitely retreat. However, that is the only way for us to advance eastward. At that time, we will have to face a powerful enemy!”
"Hmm, that makes sense!" Xia Zilong nodded.
"But if we attack the road from Zhang Jiakou, the road from Datong will also retreat. "When we advance eastward, the other party will definitely not sit back and watch. They will also threaten our rear!”
Xia Zilong's expression turned a little ugly. He asked,""Then how should we solve it?"
Tie Guozhu thought for a while and said with certainty,""There's no other way. If we want to deal with them at the same time, we can only fight on both sides. He could fight to meet one of them and at the same time, he could deal a heavy blow to the other!”
"Can you do it?" Xia Zilong asked uncertainly.”
"The air force and armored division are fine, but I'm afraid the infantry won't be able to keep up!”
Xia Zilong was speechless.
This was really their weakness. There was actually no infantryman who could take it out. There was no one else!
However, Xia Zilong had no choice. What could he do?
These infantrymen had been recruited for nearly half a month, and the most they had been recruited for was 20 days. However, their training speed was completely insufficient.
It wasn't that they couldn't endure hardship, but that their knowledge level was too low. They might not be able to understand a lot of knowledge even after repeated explanations.
If it weren't for the fact that they had an open supply of ammunition, they probably wouldn't even be able to aim and shoot properly.
In the past ten days, they had barely mastered the essentials of shooting and basic battlefield survival skills, but they were far from the Japanese.
Xia Zilong sighed and said,"Let's do our best and leave it to fate!"”
Tie Guozhu nodded and asked,"Then where should we focus?"”
"Let's attack Da Tong first, and aim to annihilate the enemy's effective strength! In any case, if we can't advance east as soon as possible, we can only occupy Chahar first and consolidate our rear!”
"Alright, I understand! General, don't worry. This time, no matter what, we will make sure that they won't be able to return!”
