Chapter Ninety-Four: The Railway War of Resistance
Listening to the conversations of the big guys, Liu Yun's inner world is as turbulent as the waves, if you only read the history books, you can only see the general outline of historical events, as well as some outstanding figures, and really come into contact with Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, only then do you know how powerful these people are.
What really shocked Liu Yun is that none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, even if no one reminds them, they can accurately grasp the pulse of the times, the sharpness of their vision, the uniqueness of their insights, and the depth of their scheming, which are not at all easy for ordinary people to play.
As for the construction of iron and steel plants and arsenals in Sichuan, Lao Jiang did not have any doubts, and the only thing that had a different view was the Sichuan Railway, and he believed that "poverty and backwardness and inconvenient transportation" were the two magic weapons for China to defeat the Japanese devils in the future, and if the railway was built now, it would be self-destruction.
In addition to Liu Yun, the other two are senior generals of the Sichuan army, some things do not say, but also can understand, Lao Jiang's words are the voice of the Anti-Japanese War, that is, as soon as the War of Resistance began, Huaxia had to implement a scorched earth war of resistance in order to defeat the Japanese devils, clearing the walls and fields, so only weapons, food and population, the rest are not important, as long as the factories, cities and railways that cannot be moved away, they will be destroyed one by one, and they must not be allowed to be obtained by the enemy, otherwise it will only bring greater losses to Huaxia.
Therefore, Lao Jiang's words are still very realistic, in case the devil thinks that Sichuan has a railway, or if it is rich in products, it is really desperate, if it is attacked, it will not be wronged, and it will only be bitter for a few years, and when the War of Resistance is won, I am afraid that Sichuan will not be able to build a railway.
Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were also a little hesitant about whether Sichuan should build a railway as soon as possible, but fortunately, in addition to them, there was also Liu Yun, a so-called expert, and everyone immediately turned their attention to Dr. Liu, hoping that this returnee expert could have better suggestions.
Liu Yun wanted to say nothing, try to let Lao Jiang and the two Chairman Liu, not notice him, at this time, I saw everyone looking at him, a wry smile, knowing that it was not okay not to say a few words, in addition, in his plan, the railway is the most critical link, if you don't distinguish it, most of it will be in vain.
Liu Yun didn't speak, he directly picked up a pen and paper, drew a mini map of China, and then said to the three big men, "I think that the Sichuan Railway must be built as soon as possible."
Lao Jiang was still very generous, nodded with a smile, and asked Expert Liu to elaborate in more detail, Liu Yun was not polite, pointed to the map with a pen, and said one by one, "Once China and Japan start a full-scale war, most of the Japanese troops will be divided into three routes, all the way from the Great Wall and Tianjin, pointing directly to Shanxi and Henan, but this one, most of them are fierce, and the actual threat is not too big."
"The second road, starting from Tianjin and the sea, pointing directly to Shandong and Anhui, and finally the third road, will attack Nanjing, and form an angle with the first road, alternately covering, alternating attacks, sweeping north of the Yellow River, peeking south of the Yellow River, not many troops, but menacing."
"The third way, starting from the Japanese mainland and Taiwan, gathered more than 200,000 troops, delivered them by warships, and pointed directly at Shanghai and Nanjing, forcing our Chinese army to fight a decisive battle with them, and if they should not fight, they will take Nanjing directly, so that the international community will think that China has been defeated, and if it is to fight, it will take this opportunity to annihilate the main force of China, but fortunately, the Japanese devils are in a hurry to achieve success, and they are too arrogant in the early stage, and they underestimate the determination of our army, and they will form a stalemate in the Songhu area."
Lao Jiang and the two Chairman Liu did not laugh at Expert Liu, on the contrary, the more they listened, the more cautious they became, and they felt a little chill in their hearts about Liu Yun's appearance as if they were broadcast live, with their IQ and experience, after a little pondering, they knew that the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war was mostly like this.
Liu Yun smiled silently, waiting for them to ask questions, Liu Wenhui was not polite, "Virtuous nephew, you said that the first Japanese army made a lot of trouble, but the threat was not big, what do you mean."
Liu Yun smiled slightly, and patiently explained one by one, "The Japanese army still has to guard against the Soviet army moving south, and Inner and Outer Mongolia, the terrain is flat, the population is sparse, there is no danger to defend at all, too strong military action will stimulate the Soviet army to increase troops in the north, but it is self-defeating, so they need a buffer zone, preferably weak and chaotic, unable to threaten Beiping and Zhangjiakou."
"Moreover, Shanxi is famous for its mountains and rivers, the terrain is complex and changeable, which is conducive to defense and not conducive to attack, and the Japanese army is neither willing to send a large army to attack, nor willing to pay a high price, so it is still very easy to form a long-term confrontation here."
Lao Jiang is an old god, it seems that Liu Yun has already heard what he said, and there are no questions to ask, Liu Xiang had to ask the question of the second Japanese army, "Listen to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, the Japanese army on this road is a strange soldier all the way, and it can support at any time, or echo the other two Japanese troops."
Liu Yun nodded, and said with some solemnity, "This way of the Japanese army, it seems simple, if I guess correctly, it should be the generals of the Japanese army who know China best, as well as the most elite troops, once the Chinese army is lax, it will be like a wolf, deeply interspersed."
Lao Jiang and Liang Liu couldn't help but gasp, such elite soldiers and strong generals, in the vast Shandong, Pingjin, Henan and Anhui areas, interspersed vertically and horizontally, with planes circling on top and navy echoing below, they can indeed contain the millions of Chinese troops with a small number of troops, and if they are not careful, they will lose their troops and generals, and there will even be strange things like tens of thousands of encirclement and annihilation.
Liu Yun sighed and continued to explain the intentions of the Japanese army, "These three-way attacks are still limited to the initial stage of the Sino-Japanese War, that is, within three to five months after the start of the war, once it exceeds three months, Japan will recruit a million new troops, of which about 200,000 can be immediately put on the battlefield."
"Therefore, there will be new changes in the direction of the Japanese army's attack, the first group of the Japanese army will be divided into three routes, the first road will be inserted into Inner Mongolia, on the border of Inner and Outer Mongolia, build fortresses and defense lines, to prevent the Soviet army from really intervening in the Sino-Japanese war, the second road is entrenched in the areas of Pingjin, Zhangjiakou and Taiyuan, forming a tug of war with our army, and the third road will go south along the Jinghan Railway and the Zhengtai Railway, and the economic south and Shijiazhuang will go south to support the battlefields of Hebei, Henan and Anhui."
"The second group of the Japanese army will also be divided into three routes, the first road is entrenched in Shandong and Hebei, the second road is in Henan and Anhui, and the third road supports the third group by sea."
"The third group of the Japanese army will also be divided into three routes, the main force will confront our army in the Songhu area, the partial division at sea will detour to Nanjing through the Yangtze River, and the most fatal thing is Hangzhou Bay, it is expected that there will be more than 100,000 troops to carry out a large-scale amphibious landing, not only to solve the dilemma in the Songhu area, but also along the edge of the Taihu Lake, outflanking the retreat of the Shanghai and Nanjing troops."
Lao Jiang and the two Liu are a little stupid, not that they think it's too ridiculous, but they think it's too real, it's a little creepy, the two Chairman Liu are a little better, and Lao Jiang can't stand it, while I really want Liu Yun to continue, and on the other hand, I want Liu Yun not to say it, listening to these lifelike analysis of the battle situation, there is always a feeling of nightmare.
Liu Yun didn't notice Lao Jiang's face, and continued to evolve the trend of the Sino-Japanese war, "Within half a year of the Japanese army's all-out attack, our army will not have major gains, and the only gain is that the Japanese army will face the dilemma of exhaustion of excellent soldiers, insufficient domestic funds and financial resources, and lack of a large number of strategic materials, because the Japanese army has only prepared war materials for half a year."
Liu Yun said with some contempt, "According to the normal situation, the Japanese army should consider the issue of armistice, but they are a group of robbers, they will not stop easily, and will continue to attack frantically, so after half a year, the main direction of the Japanese army's attack will be divided into three routes, the first road will sweep away the Chinese troops in Henan, Anhui and Nanjing, the second road will be along the Yangtze River waterway, pointing directly at the three towns of Wuhan, and the third road is the reserve, if you guess correctly, it should attack Guangzhou."
Lao Jiang was already crazy, touching his chest with a faint pain, moaning in pain, the two Chairman Liu were shocked and at a loss for a while, Liu Yun had to stop talking with a wry smile, and handed the teacup to Lao Jiang, hoping that Lao Jiang would be smooth, just listen to the story, and don't be too involved.
Lao Jiang took a sip of tea, stared at Liu Yun with red eyes, and said viciously, "Yicheng, you are my good student, you speak so well, I'm fine, you continue to speak."
The two Chairman Liu have already hinted that Liu Yun should stop talking, in case something happens to Lao Jiang here, they really don't treat diplomacy well, others think that they murdered Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang doesn't appreciate it, gritted his teeth and said, "Niang Xipi, if you don't talk about it, you won't be my student."
Liu Yun had no choice but to take a pen and paper and continue to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is about a year after the start of the war, which is generally unfavorable to China, but it has also ushered in a turning point in the Sino-Japanese war.
"The Japanese army in China, it seems to be invincible, in fact it is the end of the crossbow, the Japanese army or occupy Wuhan and Guangzhou, but it also means that the territory defended is more, if you want to completely solve the Sino-Japanese war, the only way to continue to occupy Chongqing, and even the whole of China."
Lao Jiang's face began to improve, and he did not exceed his final bottom line, at this time the two Liu also understood, if according to Liu Yun's calculation, then the confrontation line of the Sino-Japanese war in the future is Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi, but Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are really big rear, of course, you can also count Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai and other backward areas, but these places are not of much help to the war.
Lao Jiang finally relieved his breath, and asked Liu Yun with a smile, "Yicheng, tell me, why the Japanese devils can't enter Sichuan, why after the capture of Wuhan and Guangzhou, they will enter the stage of confrontation, you must know that the Japanese devils are most afraid of a protracted war."
Liu Yun smiled bitterly, he is a military amateur, do you want to tell you that in the future history books, is it written like this, after a little combing, according to his own understanding, he said a little, "Generally speaking, there are three allows, one is not allowed by China's national conditions, two is not allowed by Japan's national strength, and three is not allowed by the international situation."
The two Chairman Liu were in good spirits, and they really had some doors, so they wanted to listen carefully, but Lao Jiang smiled slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and asked, "Oh, it's not 'three wins and three defeats', it seems that you, a master of strategy, have new insights, okay, then talk about it."
