Chapter 654: Bold Plan
Woowoo......... A long whistle broke the silence of Tanegashima, and the second fleet, which had sailed for three days, finally arrived at Tanegashima. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's finally here." Seeing the 25th Army disembarking, Li He took a deep breath and said lightly.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Everything, as long as the German fleet covers the landing of the army in the Ryukyu Islands, it can carry out the strike plan against Zoseburg, and at that time, the remnants of the combined fleet that are cowering in Zoseburg will be buried at the bottom of the sea under the blow of their powerful ships and submarines, and the third phase of the plan can also be fully implemented. Inflict a severe blow on Japan and achieve the ultimate goal of dividing Japan.
Wait, everything can only wait. Thinking of this, Li He looked at the warships anchored in the harbor and the army that was going ashore, and turned back to his control tower.
The scorching heat in southern Xinjiang did not block the severe cold in the north in the slightest. Boli, it's only August day, and the soldiers of the Second Corps stationed here have already changed into thick winter clothes.
Boli Primary School, the original classroom office, has been rebuilt against the headquarters of the Second Corps in Liaodong and the headquarters of the former enemy.
The headquarters is very simple, except for a few conference tables and a combat sand table placed in the middle of the table, the rest is just a map hanging on the wall.
Didi ........ Da Da Da ......... In the room to the left of the headquarters, there was an intermittent burst of telegrams. However, this did not disturb Duan Qirui, the front-line commander-in-chief, who was watching the situation in front of the map.
After Feng Guozhang was ordered to go to Lushun, Duan Qirui took full control of all the Tsarist Russian Liaodong troops east of the entire Tsarist Russian Boli.
However, before the Liaodong Army arrived at Boli, the main forces of the Tsarist Russian army had all withdrawn to Siberia, and only those who stayed in Shuangcheng and Boli in the Far East, as well as the troops that had collapsed, added up to only about 30,000 people, while the Liaodong Army that entered the Far East of Tsarist Russia was nearly 100,000.
After the signing of the agreement with Tsarist Russia, the Liaodong Army of the two corps suddenly fell into a state of rest, and the troops did not advance westward. Instead, a large number of heavy troops were deployed on the Siberian border to prevent the Japanese army from being chased to Siberia from advancing eastward.
Bang bang ....... Tapping the command pole in his hand twice on the map, on the sand table next to Duan Qirui's walkway, a small red flag was inserted on a hill from a small square carton next to it, and the flag representing the Japanese army was pulled out again and thrown aside in the garbage can.
According to the agreement with Tsarist Russia, the Liaodong Army is not entering Siberia, however, Duan Qirui found a problem, that is, the Liaodong Army is now in a very unfavorable position. If you want to get back into this situation, you have to go 100 kilometers. In this way, the Liaodong Army will be able to advance and retreat in future operations.
Of course, Duan Qirui did not do this to deal with the Japanese army, which was already at the end of its strong crossbow and could not make any big waves, and the reason why he had to advance a hundred kilometers like this was all because of a secret telegram released by Liu Jun the night before yesterday, that is, on the evening of August 20.
The secret telegram tells a thing, advance a hundred, strengthen the defense deployment, and deal with a strong enemy.
In these few words, Duan Qirui, as the commander-in-chief of the front, of course understood that this strong enemy referred to Tsarist Russia, not Japan.
Although the corps of the Tsarist army in the Far East was completely wiped out by the Japanese, its main elite forces were concentrated in the European region, especially on the European border, and the main force of the Tsarist army was concentrated by 1.2 million. And near Moscow, there are almost 300,000 people.
In fact, from the beginning of his entry into Boli, Duan Qirui knew that it was absolutely indispensable when he started a war with Tsarist Russia, after all, Liu Jun had said a sentence when he explained to himself, and the territories originally occupied by Tsarist Russia would not withdraw troops.
No troops were withdrawn, which is why the entire Liaodong Army did not advance westward after advancing or occupying the entire largest territory in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty around 1858.
Liu Jun has no ambitions, but he still has to take back the things left by this old ancestor, not asking for much, but asking for a good picture.
"Report." A staff officer wearing a colonel's uniform walked up to Duan Qirui and opened the inquiry: "Yesterday, the Japanese Second Division, Fifth Division, and Eighth Division suddenly wanted the Tsarist Second Army to attack, and the Tsarist Second Army was unable to resist. Forced to retreat a hundred kilometers, in addition, according to the situation, in this battle, Tsarist Russia lost more than 10,000 men and horses. ”
What the? Duan Qirui, who heard this, was taken aback, and he couldn't understand why the Russian army couldn't stop the Japanese attack.
The Second Army, although it was not an elite, but it was also the sixth-ranked unit in Tsarist Russia, did not expect that it would be beaten back by the Japanese army for a hundred kilometers in less than a day. To go on like this. You don't have to do it yourself, the hundreds of thousands of people in Siberia are their own natural barriers.
If this is really the case, Duan Qirui, who thought of this, looked at the staff officers beside him, and he suddenly had a very bold idea in his heart, but this idea was indeed whimsical. He didn't know if Lushun could agree, but since he thought about it, he still had to give it a try, if this plan could be realized, then the Northeast and himself would have a very huge buffer zone. That's a perfect umbrella.
"Go and call the Chief of Staff to meet me." Just do it, Duan Qirui will not have any delay, he will urgently call the chief of staff to come over, and after discussing the details, report to the Lushun General Headquarters.
At the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun, who was dressed in a military uniform, stood motionless in front of the map of Africa, looking at the map on it and kept sketching.
According to the latest intelligence report, after the outbreak of riots in Egypt, more than a dozen countries controlled by Britain in Africa also launched riots within three days.
These rioters, who killed the British when they saw them, have now turned Africa to the bottom of the world.
Hmph, this time, you have to take it, taking a deep breath, Liu Jun turned around and looked at Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin who were standing beside him.
"What's going on with the British side?" Looking down and thinking for a while, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin, who was standing on the side.
After the turmoil in Africa, Liu Jun strictly ordered that the focus of the European region should be focused on the British side, and the British would spy on the latest developments and decisions of the British region in Africa.
"Head, the next morning of the Cairo riots, Britain had already received the news, but at that time the British Prime Minister thought it was a small unrest and did not attract attention, but after the riots in other places, the British Prime Minister was already holding a meeting, but as a result, it has not come out now."
didn't come out, Liu Jun, who heard this, showed a smile, he believed that when the results came out, Africa might not be so easy to control.
