Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Smoke of Gunpowder

The Japanese attack was very sudden, and Song Biao's troops were taken by surprise, causing the effect of a surprise attack. www.biquge.info It seems that the wars provoked by the Japanese began with surprise attacks.

Part of the reason for this was that the Japanese had done a good job of preparing for the war, and partly because the position of Song Biao's department was really poor.

Located between the tripartite forces of China, Russia and Japan, although it can enjoy a lot of convenience, it has the opportunity to develop and grow. What is in the world is always one and the same, and with such benefits, it is natural to suffer corresponding disadvantages. When one of China, Japan, and Russia was preparing to attack them, they did not even have the space and time for a strategic buffer.

Taking a step back, being in such a position, even if you know that another side will attack them, you can only bear it helplessly. Without a large buffer space, it is impossible to trade space for time.

Before the war, the Japanese were intensively massing their troops and stockpiling ammunition, and there are many signs of this. However, both the Japanese and the Russians continued to hoard troops and build fortresses, which hardly stopped over the years.

Although it is known from many aspects that the Japanese are hoarding troops, will it be possible to mobilize in advance? In the wars of this era, mobilization is carried out first. The faster side to mobilize will have a huge advantage. In the Franco-Prussian War, the Germans did not mobilize now, but first mobilized 500,000 troops, and then relied on railway maneuvering to knock Napoleon III to the ground.

However, if you want to mobilize, you will have to spend a lot of money and materials. This kind of thing is not something that can be played by playing. The volume is not enough, and every day of mobilization is like using seven wounds. Before knocking the enemy down, he had to vomit three liters of blood.

Moreover, the gap between the enemy's forces and ours is so great that it cannot be bridged by tactics and will. The outlying strongholds, as well as those settlements, were immediately lost under the attack of the outnumbered Japanese army, and the troops in the rear were cut into disconnected pieces by the Japanese before they had time to mobilize.

"Did the Japanese really call?" Song Biao's face was gloomy, and he still couldn't believe such a fact. The Russians are eyeing the sidelines, and these little dwarfs really dare to do this? He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't understand it.

They are in a position that is sandwiched between China, Japan, and Russia, but in fact they are within the sphere of influence of the Russians. It's just that Tohoku is vast and sparsely populated, and large areas are almost undefended, and the Japanese often operate in this area.

"It's really called," there were other people in the room, "big brother, what are we going to do now?" ”

"What to do?" Song Biao shouted: "What are you afraid of? It's just little Japan! ”

"But..... But I've heard that there are a lot of those Orientals! Someone said, "Why don't we withdraw first?" ”

If you can't fight, you will retreat, this is originally a common tactic used by these former beards. Relying on familiarity with the terrain and striking at the enemy through elusive maneuvers was originally their best tactic. But now that the enemy is directly rushing to his hometown, this tactic is not as good as imagined.

In the final analysis, the purpose of all kinds of tactics is to change the balance of forces between the enemy and us, so that we can defeat the weak with the strong on the local battlefield. What happens when the enemy ignores your harassment and rushes straight to the main base?

Continued harassment outside? You hit yours, I hit mine for changing homes? None of this is realistic. The Japanese have made up their minds to destroy your main base in one fell swoop, and even if they lose a lot of soldiers, they will grit their teeth and persevere.

The Japanese army was followed by many bandits from the Northeast who had been recruited, and they were also very familiar with the geographical environment here. If you want to continue to be harassing in such a situation, it is very difficult and difficult to do.

Then, there are only two paths in front of Song Biao. The first is to gather forces and come to a decisive battle with a wave of main forces. A victory is naturally all right, but what if you lose? Even if it's a god of war, under the premise of the same technology and limited territory, he can't defeat more than three times the enemy, right?

The other way is to withdraw the main force from this small area, as long as the place of battle is not limited to this small area, he can play to the advantage of tactics. You can constantly pull the formation to expose the enemy's flaws, and then fight a battle of annihilation through movement.

But........

In order to develop and grow, Song Biao cooperated with Sima, introduced a lot of machinery, and established many factories on his territory. If the troops were to be withdrawn, all the factories that had been built with great effort would be lost to the Japanese. These were all bought back by him and his soldiers in exchange for frugality, and every brick and tile was built by them with sweat and blood, so should they all be given up like this?

He suddenly understood the choice of TG in history, for those altars and jars, is it worth exchanging human lives? Although he is also a decisive task, he still hesitates in the face of such a choice.

To go, or not to go, that's the question. Sima Yi once said when he destroyed the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, "The way of using soldiers, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will defend, if you can't go, if you can't go, you will surrender, and if you can't surrender, you will die." ”

Now Song Biao is neither able to fight nor willing to go. Let's fight, I'm afraid that the old man will have to fight all after the battle. If you don't fight, your hometown will be bulldozed, and the forces he spent two years building up here will become a praying mantis under the wheels of history. If he withdraws, he will probably never have a chance to make a comeback.

Now there is a hegemon in North China, and there is no chance for other forces to rise. The combination of Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu already has hundreds of thousands of troops and is looking at all directions. In Song Biao's view, they are both visitors from another world, and they will instinctively be extremely wary of their own kind.

Rao is invincible in his miraculous skills, and it is rare to meet an opponent under the nuclear fusion fist, and when he makes such a major decision, he is still hesitant because of him.

His eyes flashed, and he had already made up his mind. There is no final moment yet, and it can still be saved. Even at the last moment, it's a big deal to come to the same end. With a nuclear bomb in his hand, he never felt that there was really an enemy in this world who could push him to a corner.

And what about the Japanese? What about a lot of them? Under the power of the mighty Peacemaker, they will all turn to ashes.

But until then, he still wants the messenger to deal with this crisis by conventional means. Since the enemy is already too strong to solve it on his own, it is better to find reinforcements.

Song Biao looked to the east, where the Russian soldiers gathered. (To be continued.) )
