Another kind of landing ship is to rush directly to the shore and send soldiers and equipment directly to the shore, the advantage is that some heavy weapons can be sent directly to the shore, and the defense and resistance of the warship are much stronger than that of the assault boat, so the survivability is far stronger than the assault boat, and it can also be used as a bunker for the landing force after rushing to the shore position. However, the disadvantage is that such a warship needs to be specially designed and built, and cannot be modified with a transport ship, and the cost is higher. In addition, this kind of landing ship has higher requirements for the terrain and environment on the shore.

In fact, this kind of landing ship is mainly popular before and after World War II, not to transport personnel, but to transport heavy equipment, mainly tanks, armored vehicles, before the crossing, the PLA Navy ship sequence, there is a type of warship with similar functions, 072A tank landing ship, can transport 10 Type 99A tanks ashore at one time.

However, judging from the development trend of amphibious operations, this kind of landing ship that directly rushes ashore is of course the general trend, so the East China Government also designed a type of landing ship last year, with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, which can send an artillery operation ashore at one time, and is expected to be completed in the second half of 1905. Of course, this projection capacity is not large, but it is enough for the current Marine Corps. Moreover, this is the first time that the East China government has built this type of warship, and it is reasonable to adopt a more prudent strategy.

In order to adapt to the landing operation, the establishment of the Marine Corps is also very different from that of the Army; because at present the Marine Corps mainly uses assault boats to land in the combat mode, and heavy equipment cannot be transported to the shore position to participate in the battle in the first time, so the whole army has increased the proportion of mortars, and the Bijing mortar is an artillery that can be transported ashore by assault boats, and at the same time, in order to increase the firepower of the landing force, the number of machine guns has also been increased.

Just last year, the general-purpose machine gun developed by the East China government was finally finalized, and it was named the Type 03 general-purpose machine gun, with a body weight of 13.2 kilograms, a heavy machine gun state of 21.6 kilograms, and a light machine gun state weighing 17.5 kilograms, with a maximum firing range of 800 meters and a maximum rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute. Although it is much less powerful than the Maxim machine gun and the Haqikes machine gun of this era, it is light and flexible, and can be directly delegated to the squad and platoon level combat units for use, which is suitable for the use of the Marine Corps, so the Marine Corps has also become the first unit in the whole army to be equipped with Type 03 general-purpose machine guns.

The Marine Corps has a class size of 16 people, divided into 2 combat groups, a machine gun group and a mortar group, equipped with a Type 03 general-purpose machine gun and 1 60 mortar, and the firepower is so powerful that it even exceeds that of the average army platoon. And when conducting landing operations, a squad will take an assault boat.

The company, battalion, and regimental subordinates are equipped with fire support units, which are equipped with various mortars, machine guns, Rapid-fire artillery, as a fire support for combat troops, the whole division only has an artillery regiment under the division, equipped with 27 75 mm caliber field guns, of course, this is not used for landing operations, but after the landing, to guard the beachhead or coastal key positions, Bijing Marine Corps is not only for landing operations, after the successful landing, if the follow-up army units do not keep up with the time, then guarding the beachhead, or the key stronghold on the coast, is also the combat mission of the Marine Corps, and this requires artillery。 And the Marines also have a cavalry battalion, which is also used for other operations.

The training for this landing operation lasted for a total of two weeks, and each unit conducted three training sessions to simulate landing operations, and initially acquired a certain amount of experience and ability in landing operations, but at the same time, many of these problems were discovered, and the troops were brought back to the base for repairs, while Luo Yue and other officers conducted a general analysis of the problems that were exposed, looked for ways to improve them, and tested the results in the next training.

However, when he returned to the base, Luo Yue did not have to live in the barracks, but returned to Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping's residences, during this time not only Luo Yue's work was busy, but Zhou Weiying's was also not easy, because of the preparation for war, the medical system could not stay out of the matter, on the one hand, a large number of medical equipment and drug supplies had to be prepared, and on the other hand, it was necessary to organize training positions and field hospital personnel and formulate work plans. Now Zhou Weiying is the backbone of the medical system, and the work is naturally very heavy, plus Luo Yue often performs training tasks, and it will take several days to leave home, so Zhou Ping simply let them live in her own home, so that they can take care of them, so that they can work with peace of mind and don't have to worry about housework.

After returning home, after dinner, Qin Zheng called Luo Yue into the study, handed him a folder, and said: " Xiao Luo, I have shown Lao Xiao the battle plan you submitted, Lao Xiao is very interested in this plan, and thinks that the possibility of implementation is very high, and put forward several amendments, and suggests that you revise and pay later, formally submit it to the General Staff, now the General Staff is formulating a detailed combat plan, your combat plan, should have a great reference role for the General Staff, if it is formally implemented in the future, you must be the supreme commander of the implementation of a combat plan, so you have to be prepared. ”

When Luo Yue heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, and said, "Okay, I'll revise it right away." ”

It turned out that after Luo Yue carefully studied the Russo-Japanese War in the old time and space, he believed that although Japan finally won the war, there was almost nothing commendable in terms of tactics, and almost all battles were won by the willpower of the Japanese army and the bushido spirit that was not afraid of death.

On the contrary, to a certain extent, although the Russian army has suffered successive defeats on the battlefield, from a strategic point of view, it has successfully implemented the strategy of exchanging space for time, gradually retreating and consuming the Japanese army's vigor and war potential, so that the Japanese army's offensive finally reached the limit when it reached Shenyang, and won itself time to regroup its army, and by the end of the war, Russia had gathered another 400,000 troops in the Far East.

In the end, Russia lost the war mainly for two reasons: First, a serious political crisis broke out at home, which affected Russia's ability to fight abroad; second, the Second Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated and completely lost its naval supremacy in the Far East. But on land, the space-for-time strategy has been largely successful. In the post-war negotiations, Japan did not take much advantage, not only did it not receive a penny of war reparations, but also ceded half of Sakhalin Island, which Japan had basically occupied by the end of the war.

Luo Yue believed that in the middle of the war, that is, at this time, Japan had a clever trick that could change the outcome of the war, that is, a surprise attack on Vladivostok. Vladivostok is the most important Russian city in the Far East and the Far Eastern terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway, so once the Japanese attack on Vladivostok is successful, both politically and strategically significant.

First of all, in a political sense, although in recent years, Russia intends to replace Vladivostok with Lushun, but after all, the operation of Lushun has not been long, and legally speaking, Lushun is leased land, and sovereignty still belongs to China; and in 1860, Russia and the Qing court signed the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" clearly stipulates that the Qing court ceded Vladivostok to Russia, and now Russia has been operating Vladivostok for more than 40 years, so the people in Russia have regarded Vladivostok as Russian territory. Russia's loss of Lushun, Liaoyang, and Shenyang was only a defeat at the war level, but after all, these places were not Russian territories, and once Vladivostok was occupied by Japan, it was a formal loss of territory, and the psychological impact on the domestic government and people was quite huge.

In terms of strategic value, Japan's occupation of Vladivostok was tantamount to a stab in the back of Russia, which could directly threaten Halbin to the east, and to the north, the vast areas of the Russian Far East, such as Shuangchengzi, Miaojie, Boli, Komsomolsk, and even the Kamchatka Peninsula, would be placed under the Japanese army's front, so Russia could only abandon Shenyang and retreat to the Khalbin and Mudanjiang lines on all fronts. The Japanese army could push the battle line from Shenyang all the way to Jilin and Changchun almost without any waste, and then the situation in the Far East would be very different, and even if there were armistice negotiations, Japan would be much more advantageous.

In terms of feasibility, Japan's capture of Vladivostok is also quite certain, because Japan now controls the sea control in the Far East, and the distance from Yokosuka or Kure to Vladivostok is about 1,000 kilometers, which is about the same distance as the distance to Arthur, and if you get to Vladivostok from the port in the north of the island, it is less than 700 kilometers, so the distance is not an obstacle.

In addition, since Russia leased Lushun, the center of gravity has shifted like Lushun, after all, Lushun is an ice-free port, and Vladivostok has a freezing period of about 4 months every year, and Lushun has started to build fortifications from the era of the Beiyang Naval Division, and after Russia took over Lushun, it was rebuilt and rebuilt on the basis of the fortifications built by the original Beiyang Naval Division; although the defense of Vladivostok is not completely useless, it has not been strengthened much in recent years, and it is indeed inferior to Lushun.

Moreover, now that Japan and Russia are facing each other on the line from Liaoyang to Shenyang, Russia has almost concentrated its forces in the Far East in Shenyang, and the garrison in Vladivostok is also very empty, and the strength of the Vladivostok detachment is already average, and the Rurik has been sunk, and the only remaining Grombowie and Warrior are also damaged, so the support for the garrison is not large. If Japan had dispatched its fleet to launch an attack on Vladivostok before the Second Pacific Fleet had arrived, it would indeed have a great chance of success.

However, whether it was in the old time and space or in this era, Japan did not have such a plan now, but after the People's Army entered the war, it was possible to implement this plan and achieve the goal of winning by surprise.
