Time is of the essence, and the longer we are exposed, the more likely we are to be exposed, and the less we will be able to play the role of a surprise attack! ”

Li Yunlong looked at the people present and said, "There is still a considerable gap between our tanks and planes and the Japanese army!" ”

In terms of the combat capability of tanks and fighters alone, the Cheetah tank and the Whirlwind fighter can be said to be on par with the Japanese army's Type 95 tank, Type 97 tank, and Zero fighter.

After all, the Zero fighter was an ace fighter in the middle of World War II, and it was very powerful in the air.

Combat effectiveness aside, if you look at the number of tanks and fighters on both sides, the Iron Brigade is still lagging behind.

"So, I decided to start a raid on the Japanese combat airfields and tank artillery positions tonight!"

In the past month or so, although neither side has fired a single shot, it is still in the stage of gathering intelligence and formulating strategies.

At this stage, Li Yunlong also controlled the important passes and important military places of the Nanjing garrison, such as airports, artillery positions, tank motorized positions, and so on.

Since you want to play the role of a surprise attack, you should surprise these important targets.

"I decided to launch a night attack on the garrison troops in Nanjing at 12 o'clock in the morning!" Li Yunlong said loudly: "This time the main attack is an air attack, which is dominated by the aircraft team, followed by the tank team to strike at the outer Japanese defense line of ** county!" ”

"The purpose of our surprise attack this time is to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army does not know that we have such mobile weapons as tanks and airplanes, and focus on striking the Japanese army's airfields and tank positions to gain air supremacy!"

When Zhou Weiguo heard this, he stood up and said, "Brigade commander, according to normal circumstances, isn't it the most sleepy time between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning?" Why did we choose to attack in the early hours of the morning!

When night raids are carried out at night, many will choose to do it at one or two o'clock in the morning.

"We just can't play according to the routine!" Li Yunlong said: "If you want to kill him by surprise, then you have to shoot out of the rules!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Yunlong's approach.

"This air raid operation, I will personally lead the team!" Li Yunlong looked at the people present: "I know that you will definitely persuade me, but I must participate in this operation!" ”

Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, and others heard Li Yunlong say this, and they swallowed helplessly what they just wanted to persuade them to.

They all know Li Yunlong's temper, once they decide something, they can't change it at all!

"Alright, let's discuss the detailed battle strategy! This time be sure to deal a heavy blow to the little devil's air mobility power! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone present responded loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong, Zhou Weiguo, Zhentianlei, Wang Buer, and others began to discuss detailed combat strategies.

Because this time it was related to Li Yunlong's safety, everyone did not dare to have any carelessness.

…………

When the reinforcements and reinforcements from Taiyuan arrived at the periphery of Nanjing, the intelligence department of the Nanjing garrison also got the news, after all, this is such a large reinforcement force and baggage troops.

The reinforcements of the Iron and Blood Brigade set out from Taiyuan, and the momentum was huge, and of course all kinds of intelligence and related materials would be conveyed to the Nanjing garrison.

Nanjing Garrison Command.

Matsumoto Kiyozhang, commander of the Nanjing garrison, Taro Yoshimatsu, commander of the 35th Division of the commander-in-chief, Wang Mingguo, commander of the Third Army, as well as the commanders of various brigades, the responsible persons of the communications troops, aviation units, intelligence units, logistics units, etc., were all gathered in the headquarters.

Saburo Okadaira, the head of the intelligence unit, stood up and looked at everyone and said, "According to the information gathered by our intelligence officers and scouts!" ”

"The Japanese army reinforced by the Taiyuan Iron Brigade has arrived at the periphery of Nanjing, and this time the reinforcements of the China Army are estimated to reach more than 20,000 people, and the equipment has reached dozens of large trucks, because these materials and equipment are covered by black cloth, and I don't know what equipment has arrived!"

When Okadaira Saburo's voice fell, Matsumoto Kiyoshi looked at the people present: "This time, the Chinese army urgently mobilized more than 20,000 soldiers from Taiyuan to reinforce, and it can be seen that this time Li Yunlong is preparing to fight to the death with our department!" ”

"At that time, as the Imperial Japanese Army, we were invincible, and now while their reinforcements have just arrived in Nanjing, I think we should carry out air raids against them, what do you think!"

After the entire combat conference room was quiet for a moment, Yoshimatsu Taro opened his mouth and said: "Now that their reinforcements have arrived, the personnel are dense, it is the best time for us to carry out an air attack, and we can attack their positions at night!" ”

"Yes, I agree with it!"

"The two sides have been facing each other for more than a month, and now it is finally time to go to war!"

……

Matsumoto Kiyoshi looked at the crowd and said, "I have decided to set the time for this raid at one o'clock in the morning!" ”

The Iron Brigade set up a raid at 12 a.m., while the Japanese set up a raid at 1 a.m.

It's an hour difference, a world of difference!

It was as if death was creeping in.
