562: Isn't it a hit?
Although Cai's new plan has not changed much from the original plan, the problem is that the combat units have already begun to implement the new plan, and if this revised old plan is implemented immediately, how much manpower, material resources, or the possibility of victory will be wasted in the middle?
It's not easy to say anything about this, but there is no doubt that changing the plan at this time will not have a significant impact on the overall deployment, and will even reduce some of the losses caused by the previous change plan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But then again, the new plan was proposed by the emperor himself, it was only less than two days after the landing, and it had already been decided to focus on Hokkaido, but after two days it was going to abandon this plan? It's not nice to say, this is slapping the emperor's face, and it will lose powder.
Therefore, although he knew that Cai Ye's plan might be the most suitable plan at the moment, because he made adjustments according to the latest battle situation, all the plans were in line with the current battlefield situation, and everything seemed so impeccable.
However, when this plan was sent to Zhongjing, the first to oppose it was Minister of Military Affairs Xu Shichang, followed by Prime Minister Wang Shizhen, and the reason was the same, which would affect the image of the emperor and give people the impression that the emperor did not know about it, but wantonly interfered in military deployment.
And Cai Ye is a young general who is highly valued by the emperor, and he has also invested a lot in him, and Cai Ye's new plan has also made the bigwigs not very sure, and they dare not deny it directly.
Eventually, the War Department stepped forward and communicated with the Japanese Army Command, and then the plan was presented to the emperor.
When Emperor Wang Sirui saw this latest plan, he only thought about it for a moment, and then signed the plan. Yes, Wang Sirui did not feel that it was a shame for the plan he proposed to be changed, on the contrary, if a plan could allow soldiers to reduce casualties, then he was worth recommending.
Wang Sirui is a dictator, but not a complete dictator, he can listen to other people's suggestions, and can also overturn his own theories, as long as you can prove that what he said is wrong, and what you say is correct, there is no need to worry about suppressing or anything afterwards, in Wang Sirui's place, as long as the position is for the country, not for some interests, there is no possibility of offending him at all.
And judging from this plan, the plan proposed by Wang Sirui before is not wrong. Given the situation at that time, landing in Hokkaido, where the Japanese army was empty, was indeed the most correct decision.
But it was right at the time, but there is no guarantee that it will be right later, just like when you are about to hit someone while driving, you suddenly choose to step on the brakes, at this time, only stepping on the brakes is the most correct choice, and waiting until you hit the brakes to step on the brakes, it is not wrong, but the consequences have already been caused.
Landing in Hokkaido, attracting the Japanese troops deployed in Kyushu to the past, thereby diluting the number of Japanese troops in Kyushu, and then waiting for the number of Japanese troops in Kyushu to decline, after suddenly organizing troops to land from Kyushu, attacking from the north and south, so that the Japanese ran at both ends and were tired of coping.
In fact, this decision is not wrong, but it is the most correct decision in the current situation, to consume the energy of the Japanese army to the greatest extent, so that they can devote a lot of time and energy to the battlefield and rush to the battlefield, while the Chinese Empire can wait for work and launch a sudden offensive.
Breaking through the enemy's dense defense and finally achieving victory can certainly make people feel excited, and although it can prove the strength of a country in a short period of time, it is an oath at the cost of the lives of its soldiers in the army, and it is actually disdainful of any country with ideals and pursuits.
Just like the later Normandy landings, people only saw the losses of the Allies in Normandy, but did not see that through a lot of work before the war, most of the German forces were attracted to the Calais area for defense, and Normandy was the weakest place for defense.
In the same way, Kyushu's defense force is the strongest in the whole of Japan, with the largest number of troops, so at this time, perhaps only a fool will land here, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion that another landing ground will be created.
And after drawing the enemy away, after pulling the battle line back and giving the enemy a surprise blow, if the enemy is not strong enough, maybe the war can be over.
Therefore, when Cai Yi's new plan was approved, Wang Sirui did not feel a trace of unhappiness in his heart, but felt a little relieved that he was able to train so many outstanding soldiers in such a short period of time, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of Wang Sirui's previous decision on talent training.
Soon, the news of the approval of the plan reached the headquarters of the army stationed in Japan, and brought with it the emperor's personal instructions, and the headquarters in Japan could adjust the plan according to the situation of the war at any time, without asking for instructions.
Note that there is no need to ask for instructions, not no reporting, they have the right to decide to adjust the plan independently, and they do not need to ask Zhongjing's opinion, but after the decision, they still have to report to Zhongjing according to the normal process.
After receiving the emperor's approval, Cai immediately suggested that the first and second teams and the 109th Armored Division be transferred to Vladivostok, and the navy should go directly to Vladivostok according to the original plan to provide landing cover for the 1st and 2nd teams and the 109th Armored Division, making a posture of opening up a new battlefield in Hokkaido.
At the same time, the 3rd Sentai Corps, the 4th Sentai Corps, the 5th Sentai and the 6th Sentai Sentai Corp., as well as the 101st Armored Division, the 102nd Armored Division, the 110th Armored Division, and the 111th Armored Division all drove to Pohang by land.
As the largest island in Japan, and the capital of Japan, the most important island in Japan, it is indeed worthy of the Chinese Empire to send four main warbands and four main armored divisions to deal with. And Pohang is also relatively close to Japan's Honshu Island, so why not choose Busan, which is even closer, to put it bluntly, it is still used to confuse the Japanese.
In this new plan, these four teams are used to confuse the Japanese, if they can succeed, then the seventh team will land on Kyushu Island first, and open up a landing ground, and the forces of these four teams will be quickly transferred to Busan, where they will board ships and rush to Kyushu Island.
If the Japanese are not fooled, in fact, it doesn't matter, these four main teams will directly attack Honshu Island, anyway, the Japanese have so many troops, no matter whether they are adjusted or not, they will not be able to make the Japanese mainland impregnable, the Japanese mainland defense can be said to be full of loopholes, as long as there is no blind arrogance, there is still no problem with the success of the landing.
The battle situation on the Taiwan side is now proceeding in an orderly and orderly manner, with more than 400,000 troops landing in Taiwan, and 200,000 troops have been defeated, and the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan have been defeated and retreated one after another. If this trend continues to develop, we will even wonder whether the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan will be able to hold out until all the troops on the stage have landed.
However, regardless of whether the Japanese army can hold out until that time, in short, within a month, the war in Taiwan will inevitably settle down, and at least 250,000 troops will be drawn from the troops on the stage to join the combat sequence of the troops stationed in Japan. In addition, according to the plan, it is guaranteed that at least one brigade of troops will land in Japan every three days on average, and it will take at least a month for the current 1.1 million troops to complete the landing, and the main problem is that the transportation capacity is limited.
Speaking of Japan, Crown Prince Yoshihito woke up on the night of the 8th, and looking at Katsura who was safe and sound, Katsura Taro and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the good luck was only three seconds, and the crown prince Yoshihito, who had just woken up, looked at everyone with a burst of smirks, and even jumped forward with curiosity to wipe Katsura Taro's beard, and then a burst of smirk.
Jiaren's move made Katsura Taro and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hang up again. In the end, after a whole night of examination by the imperial doctor, the crown prince Yoshihito was considered to have a cerebral thrombosis, which affected his mood, and the situation was not optimistic.
On the morning of the 9th, Crown Prince Yoshihito, who had sobered up, couldn't help but think of yesterday's situation, hurriedly summoned his attendants, and ordered Katsura Taro to enter the palace immediately.
This time, Crown Prince Yoshihito returned to normal, and there was no abnormality during the whole meeting, and even his thoughts were unusually clear, and he was worried about the future of Japan. At the same time, he made the same decision as Emperor Meiji, ordering the troops closest to Hokkaido to rush to support, driving the Chinese who had landed into the sea as much as possible, and at the same time speeding up the formation of troops, and repeatedly exhorting that we must do everything possible to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, call on young people to serve in the army, and fight to protect the country.
After coming out of the palace, Katsura Taro felt a little confused, and immediately found the imperial doctor who had been consulted yesterday and roughly explained the situation just now.
However, the conclusion given by the imperial doctor made Katsura Taro mixed with joy, the good news is that the cerebral thrombosis did not turn the brain of the crown prince Yoshihito into an abnormal appearance, but it is not much better, if the disease occurs again later, the situation may be more serious, according to yesterday's reaction, the imperial doctor judged that if it is serious, the crown prince Yoshihito may even become mentally ill.
