Chapter 1374 1375 Sun Guang’s speculation

In the Qingluan Port Command Headquarters of Qin State in Shu, Sun Guang was listening to various data reports from his subordinates. His assistant gave very intuitive observational data, proving that the Tang Army's attacks were weakening: "Tang Army's aircraft are spending more and more time in nearby reconnaissance...but the number of bombings is decreasing."

For the Qin Army, this is a very normal phenomenon: as the logistics supply becomes increasingly difficult, the intensity of the frontline attack will also weaken, which is certain.

But Sun Guang didn't think so. He knew that the Tang army, especially the Tang navy, had the best logistical supplies in the world. It was simply a joke to say that the Tang army was weak in succession.

Therefore, he gave his own judgment: "It is estimated that their fleet is returning to the supply area for replenishment, and it should be a very important replenishment."

The Tang fleet must have left, and most of them should be resting. It was also true that the bombing raids on the coastline were waning, but that large-scale attacks would follow.

The assistant made a confident judgment: "Based on the strength, the opponent only has two or even one aircraft carrier hovering near our coastline..."

 Another officer also gave a naval report: "The news brought back by submarine No. 917 also confirmed that the size of the opponent's fleet seems not to be as large as previously estimated."

The sea is still the best shelter for Qin's naval submarines. They hide under the sea, and as long as they don't get close to the Tang fleet, they still have a certain degree of safety.

These submarines will occasionally have the courage to conduct some reconnaissance, but many times they will return without success, and occasionally there will be a successful case.

 In fact, they had no chance to launch an attack. They could only take a look at the Tang Army's fleet from a distance, and then immediately turned around and ran away. As for how far you can run...it all depends on luck.

You can report some useful information if you run out. If you run slowly, you will be sunk by the oncoming ship-based helicopters or destroyers... which became the record of the Tang Army.

Dorne Naval Chief Mike Ravel, who had stayed here all this time, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that the other side is giving up attacking our coastline. For them, this is a futile choice."

"That's really good news." Several other naval officers agreed with relief. They were really frightened by the terror of the Tang Army's fleet. These days, the opponent's aircraft were really trying to deal with their enemies.

As long as the Qin Army's aircraft appear near the coastline, the Tang Army will dispatch aircraft to attack. The Qin army lost dozens of DO-17 bombers, as well as dozens of P-40 and P-36 fighter jets, which was a huge loss.

As for why the Qin State did not send precious Type 183 jet fighters, it is because these jet fighters have been deployed.

 The fighting situation near Shu continued to escalate, and the Qin Air Force had to divide its troops to fill the hole. As for where the planes and pilots came from? Naturally, they were drawn from several fronts.

Sun Guang sighed, shook his head and expressed his opinion: "None of this is good news."

"Isn't it good news? General, the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet seems to have retreated. Isn't this good news?" Mike Ravel was stunned. He was not an army officer, but a naval general. Naturally, he didn't understand Sun Guang very well. This kind of commander's thinking. Sun Guang was originally an army general of the Qin Army, but was later transferred to the navy. He was considered an all-rounder on land and sea. He himself was also very talented in this area, so he knew how to combine naval and army ideas to think about problems.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Sun Guang explained: "We did not have any counterattack that affected their attack rhythm. The opponent's aircraft carrier suddenly retreated, most likely for replenishment... We are almost certain of this. "

 McRavel confidently gave his own judgment: "That's right, they should be returning to resupply."

Sun Guang followed the other party's judgment and gave an answer that made everyone look embarrassed: "Then, the next attack will be after they get supplies...The attack will be more violent...This is definitely not good news for us. "

No one in the headquarters spoke. After Sun Guang paused for a few seconds, he analyzed the army's intelligence: "Intelligence shows that a large force of the Tang Army is moving south. They seem to have entered Nanshan Port southward."

As he asked, he looked at Mike Ravel: "If this army is not committed to fighting General Zhang Xuan's troops, guess where they will go? To Dorne?"

"This..." Mike Ravel naturally couldn't believe that the Tang army would be so arrogant that it would start a war on two fronts, and one front would be separated by the endless sea.

Therefore, after thinking for a few seconds, he gave a more reasonable answer: "Of course they will not go to Dorne, because it is still too far across the Endless Sea. What they want to attack is the coastline where we are stationed. "

“Then what should we do?” Sun Guang continued to ask.

His adjutant answered his question as a matter of course: "What to do? It's just the same old thing, judging where the opponent will land and how many troops they will invest..."

Sun Guang pointed to the long coastline on the map and said: "Qingluan Port is the focus of defense. However, according to the information revealed from the Mirage Kingdom, the Tang Army does not seem to be very eager to rely on the port for landing operations. Therefore, we are focusing on Qingluan Port. The defense of Hong Kong actually does not need to be strengthened too much.”

"On the other hand, if the opponent really enters Qingluan Port, we will have an advantage. Relying on cities and fortresses, we will at least have some barriers to fight, which is much easier than setting up defenses in the wilderness." Sun Guang said It seems that if the Tang army started fighting around Qingluan Port as soon as they came up, it would be an advantage for him.

As long as he insists on street fighting and persists long enough, the suddenness of the Tang Army's cross-sea landing will lose its effect, and the Qin Army can fight to the death around Qingluan Port, delaying it for at least ten days.

With this time, Sun Guang was confident that he could deploy his troops and generals to block the attack at all levels until reinforcements arrived or Zhang Xuan retreated behind him.

By that time, the greatest significance of the Tang army's landing operation was to encircle Zhang Xuan's headquarters. Although the situation was still difficult, the Qin army still had the capital to continue to persevere.

What he was afraid of was that the Tang army would repeat its old tricks and not land at Qingluan Port! Then he had no choice: the little combat effectiveness of the defensive troops deployed by the Qin army on the long coastline could not prevent the Tang army from landing.
