Shanghai, the 13th Army Command.

Ishihara Kan'er was still the same, throwing everything to his subordinates' combat staff, while he started to stand beside him or think about problems or simply watch the fun.

However, most of the time when thinking about problems.

Okamura Yanji couldn't help asking, "Ishihara, what are you thinking?"

Ishihara Kan's eyes still did not leave the map, and said quietly: "I was thinking that if I could not find a way to solve the Chinese army's aviation force, the Imperial Army's offensive might be seriously hindered."

"That's certainly." Okamura Yasuki said with great agreement. "Especially our heavy artillery, due to its slow action, is more susceptible to attacks from the Chinese Air Force. The failure of the Second Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian was mainly because the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade belonging to the Guards Division was destroyed by the Chinese Air Force."

Hinata Chiaki next to him interrupted, "But fortunately, now there is no longer only one 3rd Flying Regiment that cooperates with our 13th Army to fight, but there are as many as six aviation divisions! In terms of air power, we have completely overwhelmed the Chinese Air Force, so the Chinese Air Force can no longer pose a big threat."

"It's not all." Ishihara Kanji said, "The Chinese Air Force has radar and is very familiar with the movements of the Imperial Air Force. The Imperial Air Force can only respond passively, and the reaction will inevitably slow down. The troops that are attacking are not far away and can still get support from Amaranth Airport nearby. However, as the front advances, it is getting further and further away from Amaranth Airport and the Quzhou Airport of the Chinese Air Force. The threats faced will become greater and greater at that time."

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Okamura Yasuki agreed. "The Chinese Air Force is always a serious threat, so it's better to find a way to completely destroy it."

Hinata Shimiya shook her head and said, "How easy is it?"

"No, there is actually a solution." Ishihara smiled and said, "It's just a bit complicated."

"Oh, Ishihara, you have a solution?" Okamura Yasuji said happily, "Speak quickly, what's the solution?"

Ishihara Kanir finally took the red pencil from a combat staff officer, and then drew a curved line on the map, from Tonglu to Yi Prefecture until Kaihua.

"What does it mean?" Hinata Zhiming said in surprise, "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff said, "Do you just attack Guo and detour from Yi County?"

"Yes, go around from Yi Prefecture." Ishihara Kan nodded, and said to Okamura Yanji, "Okamura, the area around Yi Prefecture is now a defense zone of the Third Chinese War Zone, and there are still the New Fourth Army operating nearby. The forces of all parties are mixed, and the situation can be said to be very complicated, which provides us with an opportunity to infiltrate."

"Yeah." Okamura Yasuji said, "This is an opportunity."

"No, does the Chief of Staff have a misunderstanding of the word infiltration?" Hinata Shimiya said, "Infiltration refers to the infiltration of small groups of troops. If it is a division or even multiple divisions, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, I really can't imagine how it should infiltration? Do you really think the Chinese army is blind?"

Ishihara Kanir glanced at Hinata Shia's heart and said, "Did I say I want to send one division or even multiple divisions to infiltrate from Yi Prefecture?"

"Uh..." Hinata Zhiming said in surprise, "What does the Chief of Staff mean? Send a corps? What is the use of a corps even if they can penetrate from Yi County? You can guess with your toes that there must be heavy troops in the Chinese army near Quzhou Airport and even in Quzhou City. What role can a corps play?"

"Higa Shijun, you are wrong." Ishihara Kaner said coldly, "There may not be heavy troops stationed in Quzhou!"

Hinata Chiming frowned and said, "Even if Quzhou may not have heavy troops stationed, it is the hinterland of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone. If the infiltration of the Imperial Army is a little slow, the Chinese reinforcements may swarm from all directions."

"This is indeed a problem," Okamura Yasuji said, "What do Ishihara think?"

"Okamura-kun is right." Ishihara nodded and continued, "So, the troops that have penetrated past cannot target Quzhou Airport."

"Don't use Quzhou Airport as the target?" Hinata Shiaki said, "What should I use as the target?"

"Ishihara-kun is talking about the radar station?" Okamura Yasuji asked in a deep voice.

"That's right." Ishihara nodded and said, "Okamura Jun, the Imperial Air Force gathered on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian, is more than ten times more than enough to destroy the Chinese Air Force at Quzhou Airport. The reason why Yamaguchi Jun refused to launch a strong attack on Quzhou Airport repeatedly was mainly concerned about the radar station of the Chinese Air Force."

"Yes." Okamura Yanjifuki said with approval, "The Chinese Air Force stationed at Quzhou Airport has the guidance of a radar station. It can always grasp the flight route of the Imperial Air Force that is heading for attack in a timely and accurate manner, and invisibly seize the initiative, especially in attack time, attack location and air stagnation time."

"If you attack rashly, the price will be very heavy."

"And this is also the reason why Yamaguchi Jun refused to attack for many times."

Ishihara Kanir smiled slightly and said, "So, as long as the radar station is destroyed, this problem will not exist, right?"

"Yes." Okamura Yanji said, "As long as the radar station is destroyed, the Imperial Air Force can launch a raid on Quzhou aircraft. The Chinese Air Force's fighter jets will be blown up on the runway before they even take off."

Ishihara said, "Then the remaining questions are very simple."

After pausing, Ishihara Kanir said again: "First, select an elite force to detour from Yi Prefecture; second, let the Kawashima organs find out the exact location of the radar station as soon as possible."

Okamura Yasuji said: "Ishihara, I almost forgot if you don't say it. The Kawashima agency has been secretly investigating the exact location of the radar station, but because the second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle ended in failure, I forgot about this matter. I immediately called the Kawashima agency and asked them if they found the location of the radar station."

After saying that, Okamura Yasuji signaled Hinata Shiaki to call Kawashima's agency.

Hinata Shiaki called and said to Okamura Natsuji: "Commander, Miss Yoshiko said that the exact location of the radar station has been investigated, and she also has an important information to report to you in person, and this will be on the way here."

"Oh, is that?" Okamura Yasuji smiled slightly and said, "I hope Miss Yoshiko can bring good news."

Ishihara said, "It's best to have news about Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress. If that's the case, the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle would be much simpler."
