Chapter 303 Layout of Songhu
A top-secret piece of information from the Japanese mainland.
"On the scale of the existing army, expand the army by 15 divisions and regiments, increase the cost of 5.5 billion yen, and use military supplies for half a year, and the scope of attack is north of the Yellow River, if the situation allows, it can include Taiyuan, Jinan, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and if necessary, mobilize another 400,000 Japanese troops to participate in the war."
When Commander Liu read the telegram, he also smiled bitterly, it seems that Jiang Weizao's questions don't need him to explain.
And Bai Chongxi, who was about to talk endlessly, looked at Xue Boling and the others, and they were all dumbfounded, the little devil is not good, and the good one is not good.
A fierce battle is inevitable.
Looking at the stunned old Jiang, Jiang Baili was also secretly shocked, this is a critical moment, if even the boss of the Nanjing National Government has lost the will to fight, the huge Chixian Shenzhou, I am afraid that it is really going to die, so I coughed dryly, and I was ready to personally persuade Jiang to take a seat.
Unexpectedly, after a dry cough, Lao Jiang woke up immediately.
Seeing Jiang Baili, who was a little anxious, he couldn't help but smile slightly, but he didn't say much, but asked Commander Liu directly, "Yicheng, you are my protégé, tell me, what do you mean by the Japanese devil's large-scale increase in troops this time?" ”
Liu Yun was also dizzy, among Lao Jiang's proud protégés, which green onion is he?
Don't say that the old brand of Huangpu graduates, who followed the commission to fight in the south and the north, and fought a huge Central Army together, that is, the rising "Huang Lu Zheyi", he can't compare, he is a military trainee of Lu University.
But since Jiang Weizuo said yes, who would dare to say it?
Commander Liu had no choice but to straighten out his appearance, slammed his general's boots, stood up like a piece of wood, and replied very seriously, "Report to the commission, the intention of the Japanese devils this time is obvious, that is, to seize the legitimacy of Huaxia Shenzhou, and the orthodoxy of Huaxia has always come from Beiping and Nanjing."
"At least one intention is obvious for this large-scale increase in troops on the Pingjin front, that is, to completely occupy Tianjin and Beiping."
"Because if Tianjin is occupied, the Japanese army can send troops to North China by sea at any time, and if it can occupy Beiping, it can support the second puppet Manchukuo, so as to justifiably restore the Northern Zhili, and rule by dividing the Yellow River with Nanjing, forming a state of confrontation between the north and the south."
"Papapa-", the more Lao Jiang listened, the more he felt it, and finally couldn't help but applaud himself.
Then Jiang Baili, Xue Boling and others also applauded, which made Commander Liu a little flattered, touching his head and smirking, he was just talking about things, is it so worth everyone's excitement.
Lao Jiang stood up, walked around the edge of the sand table with a cane.
Then he sneered, pointed to the position of the Japanese garrison in the sand table, and said with some contempt, "The fact that the Japanese are bullying me that there is no one in China, and under the guise of foreign ** and peace, they will increase their troops to occupy Pingjin."
"It's a pity that Song Zheyuan, Han Fuqu and others are too greedy for power and position, and they have not allowed my Central Army to completely take over Pingjin and Shandong, and my national strength in China is very limited, and it is really not easy to transfer troops to the north, otherwise the devil will not pay the price of blood, and he will not want to occupy these places so easily."
"Ah——, principal, are you going to give up Pingjin and Shandong?"
Liu Yun immediately quit, completely ignoring the eyes of Jiang Baili and others, and was ready to follow the example of the sages to give a "loyal minister death advice".
Where is Jiang Weizuo who is a person with a small belly, and he has a little appreciation for Commander Liu's straightforward admonition.
Lao Jiang then took his crutches and pointed out on the sand table one by one, "Don't think about it, the truth is not what you think, I don't want to give up Pingjin, but let the whole world know what kind of thing the Japanese are beasts, they are clearly some beasts and barbarians, but someone sings praises for them."
"After all, the Japanese devils' strength is limited, and there are countless large and small cities north of the Yellow River, even if they increase their troops by one million, they will not be able to occupy them one by one, they can only occupy various large and medium-sized cities, as well as some strategic key places, and these places can just carry out extensive guerrilla warfare."
"Ah——, guerrilla warfare?"
Liu Yun couldn't help but exclaim again, remembering that in the 21 st century, many experts "said that Lao Chiang was the most disgusted with guerrilla warfare", but now he has become a guerrilla expert, and from the very beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he thought of carrying out extensive guerrilla warfare in the Japanese-occupied areas.
Thinking that Commander Liu looked down on guerrilla warfare, Lao Jiang explained it in simple terms.
"Guerrilla warfare has existed since ancient times. Not to mention that the Xiongnu, Turks and other nomadic peoples, who have long invaded the Great Wall of China, rely on guerrilla warfare, let's just say that at the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, were also famous masters of guerrilla warfare, and even the heroic Xiang Yu was dragged to exhaustion by them."
Commander Liu was scorched by Leideli.
I remember that Li Zongren said in his memoirs that Lao Chiang was an unqualified non-commissioned officer graduate, commanding a company was the limit, he didn't know any strategy and tactics at all, he knew blind command all day long, and he especially liked to skip the command.
There is a serious suspicion that Lao Chiang is the biggest Red Party.
However, Bai Chongxi and Xue Yue quit, the two of them like to talk back the most in normal times, but at this time they both protested in unison, "Commission, guerrilla warfare is very important, but any guerrilla warfare is based on the frontal battlefield."
"Back then, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, if it weren't for Xiang Yu's main force being contained, Yingbu and Peng Yue would have died seventeen or eighteen times ago, so the frontal battlefield was the main battlefield."
Lao Jiang also smiled knowingly, and hurriedly appeased the two generals.
Then he asked Liu Yun, "Yicheng, in your opinion, how should we deal with such an unfavorable situation?" ”
This question made Liu Yun very embarrassed.
He looked at Jiang Baili and the others, and said with a little hesitation, "The student used to learn machinery, and he was still a primary school student in military affairs, so how could the student know about such a military event?" ”
"I also ask the principal to consult Chief of Staff Bai, or General Xue and other seniors in the army."
Lao Jiang suddenly became angry, his face couldn't help but change, and he scolded angrily, "Mother, it's right to respect these old-timers, but I let you say it, naturally there is a reason for you to say it, and it is because you don't understand that you let you say it, because even the things you know are naturally simple things."
I pour, feelings are throwing bricks to attract jade, Liu Yun is naturally that brick.
He then hurriedly laughed and reviewed, "Hehe, Yicheng is only a shallow learner, and he only knows one thing, but the more the enemy wants to do something, we have to do the opposite, don't they want to increase troops in North China, we will send troops to Shanghai, let them fight them, we will fight ours, this is called unrestricted warfare."
"Unrestricted warfare?"
Jiang Baili's eyes suddenly straightened, this is the first time he has heard of this kind of unfathomable tactics, and he has a feeling of not knowing how powerful he is, so he hurriedly asked, "Which master of the art of war is this?" ”
Although someone's face has always been very thick-skinned, he didn't dare to admit it this time, so he had to make up a set of explanations, regardless of whether everyone believed it or not.
He simply crooked the building, "Unrestricted warfare, as the name suggests, is a tactic that goes beyond the norm, specifically attacking the enemy's weak points, and finally making the enemy undefeated and defeated."
"Oh, I see, it's not so high."
General Bai Chongxi is familiar with military books, and he quickly found an example of "unrestricted warfare" from the history of China.
"During the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemony, Duke Qi Huan wanted to crusade against the Chu State, but he was afraid that the loss of troops would be too great, so Prime Minister Guan Zhong wanted him to offer advice and buy antlers from the Chu State at a high price, which led to the Chu people hunting every day without farming, resulting in a shortage of food in Chu, and finally had to commission money to sue for peace, so he won without a fight."
The liberal arts student couldn't play these demons of the Republic of China, so he had to run away with a haha, and let these bigwigs continue to discuss national affairs.
However, to his surprise, the four bosses didn't say a few words, and pulled him in again, but this time it was Jiang Baili who asked him, "How should the battle of Shanghai be fought?"
The battle of Shanghai, how to fight?
This question, should he also ask him, a small warlord in western Sichuan, Commander Liu is really depressed, who is he provoking whom.
Just as he was about to talk nonsense, he really thought of a key question, that is, in case of defeat, how to run Huaxia's 600,000 army.
Thinking of these hundreds of thousands of elites, who were almost wiped out by the Japanese devils, Liu Yun felt a great responsibility.
He then cautiously suggested, "The students believe that the land of Shanghai faces the sea, and the Japanese army has the advantage of the navy, so the number of troops should not be invested too much, but the quality of investment can be improved."
"The so-called quality is to strengthen the technical arms."
"It would be better to increase the number of aircraft participating in the battle to a thousand, and for heavy artillery of more than 100 mm, strive to reach a thousand, and as for tanks, increase it to five hundred. On the contrary, as long as the number of infantry is appropriate, if there is still a surplus of troops, they will be deployed between Nanjing and Shanghai in echelons to build three complete defense belts in depth."
I was speechless for a while.
Bai Chongxi was more direct, and asked angrily, "Brother Yicheng, what are you talking nonsense, if you can concentrate so many technical troops, even fools can win the Battle of Songhu, let's discuss a fart, you sincerely make us happy, right?" ”
Seeing the questioning eyes of the four bigwigs, Commander Liu couldn't help but shrink his neck, his figure suddenly became half shorter, and quickly explained, "Don't mind, don't mind, it's your juniors below, how dare you make you happy, such as a thousand fighters, this is the number of fighters that devils can participate in the war in a short period of time."
Jiang Baili and the others were stunned in their hearts, and they were a little skeptical about someone's words.
This is because there are not many Japanese fighters that can reach Shanghai at present, taking the Japanese fighters currently stationed in Taiwan and Shandong as examples, if they can fly to the point where they can fly, they just can't fly back, and the long-range bombers are only barely there, while the fighters are exempt, and the legs are too short.
For the Nanjing Air Force, bombers are the material for delivering food, and only fighters are fatal.
"Aircraft carriers?"
Mr. Jiang Baili thought about it for a while, and immediately realized.
He explained with some silence, "The Japanese devils are an island country, and the navy has always been their strong point, and at present the Japanese army has more than 20 large and small aircraft carriers."
"Among them, well-known aircraft carriers such as Longxiang, Fengxiang, and Daitaka are only light aircraft carriers, and can only be equipped with 70 or 80 carrier-based aircraft, while aircraft carriers such as Kaga, Akagi, and Xianghe are heavy aircraft carriers, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, and if you add spare fighters, it is as high as more than 120 aircraft."
Before Jiang Baili finished speaking, Lao Jiang and the others were dumbfounded.
The number of fighters that Liu Yun said is not too much, but less.
Because these 1,000 warplanes, not counting cruisers, battleships, etc., the number of reconnaissance planes or seaplanes on ships, just the fighters on aircraft carriers, exceeded 1,300, and this battle really could not be fought.
Liu Yun saw that the big thing was not good, isn't this a collective singing decline.
He quickly comforted everyone, "Don't worry, Japanese devils are not stupid."
"Once these precious naval aviation units are all put into China to participate in the war, they still want to be home, not to mention that there has always been a gap between the army and the navy, and how can they fight to the death for the victory of the army, but four or five hundred planes still have to be considered."
Lao Jiang's eyes turned and he glanced at several cadres.
Even Xue Yue, who was the most slow to react, immediately understood, and cried a little bluntly, "Brother Yicheng, our Central Army lacks guns and ammunition, but it is not as rich and powerful as you in western Sichuan, in the area of Nanjing and Shanghai, let alone concentrating 1,000 fighters, it is difficult to gather 200."
"By the way, there are also pilots, there are many rookies who have just entered the aviation school, and it is too early to want to go to the sky to fight."
