Chapter Twenty-Six: A Boring War

After Ito Hirobumi made a difficult decision, the largest civil war since the Battle of Hebei suddenly broke out on the Chinese side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shaanxi's Yasukuni Army took the lead in attacking, pulling out more than 10,000 people from northern Shaanxi and marching towards Chang'an. The armies of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou and other southern regions entered Hubei from Jiangxi and Hunan in two routes, and then entered Henan along the railway line.

Sun Wen, who was in Guangzhou, issued an order for the Northern Expedition in the name of the Generalissimo's Office, and this time they played it for real. not only dispatched the Fifth Route Army, but also instigated Feng Guozhang, who was in Xuzhou, to raise troops together. After adding Feng Guozhang's army of more than 200,000, the number of troops on Sun Wen's side reached an astonishing million.

Although many of them are unarmed infantry, they can't be said to be unarmed, and each person still has a cold weapon. In any case, the number of a million troops is still very scary. When Cao Cao went south, he was only known as an army of 800,000, and now Sun Wenke is much more powerful than Cao Cao.

"Oh oh oh, Sun Wen is really amazing, he actually launched so many troops!" Lin Mengchu said loudly in Chen Cheng's office: "The Sixth Route Army, millions of soldiers and horses...... Just why does it sound so familiar? ”

"Zhuge Kongming Anjuping Fifth Road?" Chen Cheng casually looked at the military information sent and sneered: "Sun Wen still has some ideas, but he has always been high-minded, but he didn't expect to really gather so many troops for him this time." Presumably Huang Xing is going to be happy this time, they have never been so arrogant before. ”

"It's very powerful, anyway, to be able to mobilize so many troops and attack together from several directions, such a trick is not something that ordinary people can do. Is it really Sun Cannon? The courage is still there. ”

"Yes, a million troops, it's really hard for them." Chen Cheng shook his head, "The transfer and supply of so many people is difficult for us to deal with in a short period of time. ”

"Then did you hear that there are so many enemies, are you afraid?" The girl smiled, "Have you been scared by the number of enemies?" ”

"No," Chen Cheng smiled and said, "My heart doesn't fluctuate in the slightest, and I even want to laugh." ”

"Oh?" Lin Mengchu said: "Are you very confident and don't take the enemy seriously, or is it for some other reason?" ”

"Of course, because of the huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy, there is nothing to fluctuate." Chen Cheng asked rhetorically: "Do you know what the monthly output of 600,000 tons of steel represents in this era?" ”

What does it represent? Finally able to be self-sufficient and not have to import steel from abroad? ”

"It means we can push it flat." Chen Cheng said: "At that time, TG's steel production was not as large as ours, and it was able to face the Korean Peninsula head-on. Although the quantity and quality of our grassroots officers and cadres are much worse than those of the TG, our opponent is not the US-led multinational force. ”

"Hmph, the lion Bo Rabbit will also do his right, don't be careless and capsize."

"Don't worry, you can't make waves." Chen Cheng said: "We now rely on the superiority in firepower and military doctrine to beat the enemy, as long as we are not too greedy for merit, we can kill them with a flat push." ”

"Them?"

"Feng Guozhang, Sun Wen, Yang Hongsen, and Cai Yi of Yungui, as well as those in Guangxi."

"What the hell is that? Don't you even have a name? ”

"Well, it's a certain force in Guangxi and Hainan, and it is said that they bought a lot of machinery and equipment from the United States and the British, and now they can produce 100,000 tons of steel per year."

"Although 100,000 tons is not much, it is not less in the original history, right?"

"Of course, in the original history, Japan only produced about 250,000 tons of steel a year this year. Moreover, the Japanese had to invest a large part of the steel in the navy and shipbuilding, and the army could not get more than tens of thousands of tons of steel. ”

"In other words, if there is no Yang Hongsen, no us, and no other traversers, who is in Guangxi and Hainan, is it possible to mix with China?"

"I can only say that there is a possibility." Chen Cheng said: "But I think if it weren't for us, Yang Hongsen would be more likely to stand up and clean up the old mountains and rivers." ”

"Hmm, how much steel production is on the territory controlled by Yang Hongsen?"

"With the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, the annual output of steel in the two provinces controlled by Yang Hongsen is about 300,000 tons."

"So much?" Lin Mengchu said in surprise: "It's very powerful to be able to make such a result with your bare hands." ”

"Well, in fact, more than half of it is because we have provided technology and machinery to make the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant run normally." Chen Cheng said: "However, it is because the southern princes have so much steel, so they feel that it is time to come and bulldoze us." ”

"With less than a million tons of steel production, you want to bulldoze us? Well, those guys in the south don't add up to a million tons, do they? ”

"There are less than half a million tons. Except for the two in Guangxi and Hubei, the rest of the people are basically typical of building rather than buying, and buying is better than renting. ”

"We have seven million tons a year, and they only have 500,000 tons a year," the girl looked at Chen Cheng and said, "I now know where your confidence comes from." ”

"Of course, it's the people who decide the winner." Chen Cheng said unhurriedly: "But with such a big advantage, basically, it is impossible to lose." ”

"It feels like you're setting a big flag, but that's fine. Since we have such a big advantage, let's just go straight to the past. ”

"However, in those places to the south, the railroad has not been built very well, and our army will not be enough after we drive over. Speaking of this, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the traces of frost under the eaves outside the window, and said, "It's winter soon, and I don't want my soldiers to lose more non-combat casualties than on the battlefield." ”

"In other words, we still defend first and then counterattack?"

"That's right! After the beginning of spring next year, we will probably be able to arm an army of one million, and at that time, we will first kill Feng Guozhang, and then enter Wuhan, which is the extreme of the Yangtze River, and then talk about other things. ”

"What the hell is it again?"

"I estimate that at that time, we have already digested Feng Guozhang's subordinates, and we will first seize Shaanxi, then attack Sichuan, and then go straight downstream. Or gradually advance along the coastline, or simply directly amphibious landing in Guangzhou......"
