Chapter 1502: What to hide
After the Pearl Harbor incident, the Battle of Midway Island experienced Jiang Haoran's brand-new aircraft carrier battle group concept, and the bitter people gradually canceled the production of battleships and formed their own mobile troops, which proved the superiority of the independent aircraft carrier formation in the follow-up war, and this kind of thinking has still affected the United States Navy to this day, and the United States Army now regards the aircraft carrier as the core of the fleet grouping, with the aircraft carrier aircraft force as the backbone, supplemented by various ships, to form a complete all-rounder fleet. The grouping of such a task force is the embodiment of this idea.
And all this change began with the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway.
And Jiang Haoran knew these from the beginning, but he still spent a lot of money to build twelve battleships, why?
In fact, everything is just Jiang Haoran's disguise, in order to hide clumsiness, in order not to be too sharp.
If more than a dozen aircraft carriers were launched from the beginning, the people of the United States would not be frightened?
With this kind of productivity and manufacturing power, it is difficult to say who will be the master of the Pacific Ocean in the future.
Even if the Americans do not think crookedly to the Yangtze River Shipyard in a short time, they will definitely greatly discount their future support, at least in the naval battle they will leave more "opportunities" to the Chinese and let the Chinese Navy consume in the war.
So, twelve unsuitable battleships appeared as scheduled, but no one knew that under their decks, the hangars already existed, and with the heavy armor and lined turrets laid with steel plates, twelve light aircraft carriers were freshly baked.
When the facts were presented in front of everyone, everyone felt shuddered, not because of these twenty aircraft carriers, but because of Jiang Haoran's terrifying foresight and outrageous scheming.
Before the start of the military meeting, Tang Enbo was called in, and the Far Fifth Army was once again assigned to the battle sequence of the expeditionary force.
As the territory of the expeditionary force continued to expand, the original strength was already stretched, and the 15 divisions of the Far Fifth Group Army (two divisions were crippled in the 100,000 mountains and had retreated to the rear to recuperate, but still belonged to the establishment of the Far Fifth Group Army) joined in, and the pressure was sharply reduced.
only laughed crookedly at Luo Zhuoying and Huang Jie's mouths.
The meeting went ahead as scheduled, and Du Tianci and Chennault were invited in, and the performance of the Southwest Airlines Group in this battle was key, and they had to fill the aircraft needed for more than 50 airfields in Indochina in the shortest possible time.
Of course, Jiang Haoran has no shortage of planes now, and what he owns, plus Mi Ying's aid, is constantly driving in, which is enough for them to squander.
Although these are nominally materials to aid the Soviet Union, it is understandable to "borrow" them from Jiang Haoran's territory.
What people did not expect was that the battlefield of the expeditionary force did not match the Liangguang Campaign at all.
The direction of their attack was Dutch East Indies.
The Mi army worked hard and invested more than a dozen aircraft carriers and millions of troops to defeat the Dutch East Indies, and Jiang Haoran now actually handed over this arduous task to them.
As soon as the news was announced, there was an uproar in the headquarters.
"What, are you all scared?" Jiang Haoran's displeased voice sounded.
Liu Dakun's mouth immediately deflated, and he said: "When have we ever been afraid, but we don't have any experience in beach-grabbing and landing operations, how can you let us fight this battle?" ”
Jiang Haoran said sharply: "You have many reasons, did they have experience in beach-grabbing and landing operations when Dai Anlan attacked Singapore?" People still beat it down, why can't they come to you? ”
Liu Dakun's two leopard eyes rolled, he didn't open his mouth, the thorns were honest, and the others didn't dare to say anything, Jiang Haoran continued to arrange tasks.
The key to this battle was in the navy, with Yang Honglie's second aircraft carrier battle group as the main force, with the assistance of the British East India Fleet, luring the enemy's aircraft carriers to fight a decisive battle, and the sea battlefield was set in the area of the Riau Islands and Zengmu Beach (Zengmu Dark Sand).
All army aircraft and long-range bombers on the Malay Peninsula provide powerful fire support, and whaling fork anti-ship missiles are an important means of annihilating the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet.
The landing force consisted of the 1st Marine Division of the National Army and the 3rd Marine Division of the British Army as the main force, Dai Anlan's Far 2nd Group Army as the second echelon, and the 1st Far Army and the Far 2nd Group Army each stood by in Viet Lan Boliao as the third echelon to carry out beach-rushing landings in Sukkadana, Sam Phat and Da Lat in the Dutch East Indies.
Lin Long sent the battle order to the hands of each participating commander, and there was a sound of paper turning up in the room.
Chen Shaokuan frowned at this time, his mouth opened a few times, he wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he still didn't hold back, and said, "Boss, are we feints?" ”
"What feints? The battle plan is clearly written, it is an all-out attack! Jiang Haoran said sharply.
Chen Shaokuan picked his head and continued to ask: "Then we still have two aircraft carrier battle groups and two marine divisions left, don't they participate in the war?" ”
Jiang Haoran glanced at him, seemed to blame him for being troublesome, and replied angrily: "Who said they won't go to war?" Didn't they order them to secretly enter the Gulf of Siam? ”
Chen Shaokuan wanted to say something, but Huang Jie, who was sitting next to him, kicked him under the table, signaled him to shut up, and gave him a playful smile.
"What about us? Our Far Fifth Army doesn't have a mission yet? Seeing that other people's battle plans were diligently flipping through, but there was nothing in front of him, Tang Enbo was anxious.
In the battle of Liangguang, he ended up with a VIP rescue, and he was still counting on finding some face here, and there were eight more divisions in his hand out of thin air, and he was always eager to try, who knew that there was nothing to do with himself in the situation, can he not be in a hurry?
Jiang Haoran smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, old sir, your task this time is not light, but it is not yet time to announce it." In this way, the vanguard of your five divisions got off the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, went directly to the Burma Central Railway, and went to the Yangon wharf to stand by, and the eight divisions behind them rushed desperately and walked slowly. ”
"Ah...... What do you mean? Towneburg was dumbfounded.
Liu He, who had not spoken, hurriedly replied: "Commander Tang, just let them pretend to be in a hurry with all their might, but due to various reasons, the troops are marching slowly, and your urging orders are constantly being issued, but at the same time, you have to create all kinds of troubles for them, so that they can't move forward as scheduled, and the play must be real." ”
This is not difficult to understand, but the intention is full of reverie, and the atmosphere in the command suddenly becomes a little weird.
Everyone can see that Jiang Haoran is deliberately hiding something, but no one dares to ask, if Jiang Haoran refuses to say, there will be no result in asking, and this full of doubts can only be brought to the battle to find answers.
