Liu Yimin knew that the first bombing of Japan by the US forces in history was extremely successful in terms of strategy, not only attracting the Japanese army to dispatch troops to increase its own air defense and attacking the coastal airfields of China, but also attracting the Japanese navy to launch the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. However, from a tactical point of view, the first US bombing operation against Japan was a complete failure, and the 16 bombers were equivalent to the total annihilation.

Now that our army has occupied Liaoning, Dalian and Lushun can be used as bases for bombing the Japanese mainland, Liu Yimin has to think of expanding the results of the US army's bombing of Japan.

Thinking that the US military is ready to bomb Japan, and may set off tomorrow as it has done in history, and will also use 16 B25 bombers, Liu Yimin seems to see the young faces of that group of brave American pilots.

Liu Yimin's judgment was really correct: After the US military decided to bomb the Japanese newspaper for its surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, it decided to use B-25 bombers of the Army Air Force to take off from an aircraft carrier and bomb the Japanese mainland. Since the flight deck of the aircraft carrier was only 150 meters long, it was very difficult for the B-25 bomber to take off with a full load, and the US military entrusted this task to Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, a highly skilled pilot who had participated in World War I. After receiving the assignment, Doolittle selected 24 crew members and made appropriate modifications to the B-25 aircraft. In March, after more than a month of training at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, USA, the technology of taking off on a 150-meter runway was successfully mastered. At this time, the San Francisco military port was already busy, 16 B25 bombers had already entered the hangar of the US Navy's "Hornet" aircraft carrier, and four destroyers and one oil tanker had also completed replenishment, waiting for the order to set off. Instead of waiting for the USS Hornet at Pearl Harbor as in history, the USS Enterprise and other ships on escort duty headed for Midway to prepare to transport the 20th Air Force to the northeast. Of course, it was impossible for the US fleet escorting the 20th Air Force to reach the port of Arthur. They could only send the 20th Air Force to the sea where they could fly to Lushun Dalian. Then turn around and go to rendezvous with the "Hornet".

Historically, on April 18, the US Navy task force bombing Japan was discovered by armed fishing boats patrolling and guarding Japan at a distance of about 1,300 kilometers from the Japanese mainland, and the Japan Combined Fleet Command immediately sent heavy troops to attack. Doolittle immediately ordered the US plane to take off immediately. Each aircraft fought independently and carried out daytime air raids on Tokyo.

Liu Yimin did not need to revise the US military's battle plan, he only needed to tell the Americans to revise the departure time of the task force bombing Japan and camouflage the Japanese fleet. As long as they can reach the coastal waters of Japan at night, they are not afraid of being discovered by the armed reconnaissance ships of the Japanese army. In the vast ocean, even if the Japanese reconnaissance ship finds a fleet, it is likely that it will think that it is the Japanese fleet! In this case, it is likely that the fleet will be able to reach within 600 kilometers of the Japanese mainland. In that case, the bomber formation can calmly return to the northeast after completing the bombing mission.

In particular, the US warship formation escorting the 20th Fleet must also do a good job of camouflage and strive to sail more at night, so as to ensure safety and do a good job, and also allow the supply ships of the 20th Air Force to directly enter the Port Arthur.

Liu Yimin asked Bao Ruide to tell him in detail about the detailed combat plan of the US Navy, and Bao Ruide said that he did not know. Liu Yimin thinks about it. How could Bao Ruide know about this kind of thing? Liu Yimin told Bao Ruide that he should immediately send a telegram to Chief of Staff Marshall or Admiral Nimitz, and that it was best to disguise the Japanese fleet by bombing the Japanese fleet. Second, it is necessary to arrive at a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from the "Ri" Sea at night, so that you can enter the "Ri" Benhai at night. For the sake of safety, after the bombers took off, the aircraft carrier formation quickly withdrew to prevent being overtaken by the Japanese Combined Fleet.

This was just a very simple common-sense statement, but in the ears of Bao Ruide, it was like an initiation, and he immediately stopped the meeting and hurried back to his residence with the members of the US military liaison team.

Li Fuchun complained that he had not talked to the Americans about supporting oil drilling and automobile production equipment in Northeast China.

Liu Yimin replied that Comrade Fuchun was too anxious. The Americans will give those things, but this bag of Rhett is only a liaison group, and he came to the Northeast to tell us when the 20th Air Force will arrive and ask us to pick it up. It doesn't matter to talk to him about other things, so you have to talk to a higher-level U.S. Department of Commerce official. Don't worry, the U.S. Navy is about to launch a counterattack. In less than three months, the little devil navy will be unlucky. At that time, it is likely that the sea route will be opened, hehe, the Japanese army may have to think about how to hold their homeland.

Liu Yimin said so optimistic, Chen Yun and Li Fuchun were a little unconvinced, saying that they should first think about how to deal with the Japanese army's bombardment, if they let the little devils bomb a few more times, Shenyang City would be blown up.

This is a practical problem, and Liu Yimin has already thought about it, that is, to divert the attention of the Kwantung Army to other places, and not let them keep an eye on Shenyang and Dalian. It just so happened that Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, Peng Zhen, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Ye Ting were all there, and Liu Yimin wanted to take the opportunity to have a short meeting and talk about his deployment. Who knew that he had just beckoned a few people to sit down again, and before he could speak, Qian Zhuangfei came in with a telegram, and after shouting the report, he handed the telegram to Liu Yimin.

When Liu Yimin saw it, it was a telegram sent by Chen Shiqu on the front line of Shanhaiguan, saying that today the Japanese army had begun to search and reconnoiter the front line of Shanhaiguan, and the Japanese aircraft fleet at Shanhaiguan was carrying out reconnaissance, judging that the Japanese army in North China was about to take action.

After reading it, Liu Yimin said to Qian Zhuangfei: "Call Chen Shiqu back, calm down, and bury yourself in repairing fortifications!" The main forces of the Japanese army in North China were distributed in Shandong and Shanxi, and it was impossible to mobilize a heavy army group to attack Shanhaiguan in the short term. Moreover, the Japanese army in North China was frightened by us, and without the troops of the five divisions, they would not dare to come to Shanhaiguan. They were afraid that the main force of our army would suddenly turn around and go west, encircling and annihilating them on the Shanhaiguan line. The little devil is playing a smokescreen, deceiving our army, trying to attract the attention of our army and cover the Kwantung Army's assembly of the main force. ”

After Qian Zhuang flew away, Liu Yimin said to a few people: "Our army wants to capture fighters, take the initiative to attack, and eat the Kwantung Army one bite at a time." The original plan was to besiege Changchun and send reinforcements, but now it seems that the battle plan will have to be changed. The reason is that, judging from the current situation, the Japanese puppet army in Changchun has been ready for battle. And. The Japanese army has transferred back the Fourth Flying Group, and perhaps the Fifth Flying Group will also be transferred back, and it is very likely that it will not arrive today, but it will arrive tomorrow. Our army could not be exposed to the fire of the Japanese aviation, the losses would be too great. It is not conducive to follow-up operations, and we cannot afford it. ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "It is still necessary to adhere to our army's concentration of superior forces and superior firepower, and fight ambushes. In this way, the results are large and the losses are small. In my opinion, we can make a fuss about the Japanese army that returned to Changchun, and eliminate one is another. It is likely that as soon as we fight, we will completely mobilize the Japanese army. Can fight continuously. ”

Liu Yimin nodded and said, "I plan to gather the main force in the area west of Gongzhuling and wait for the day. The combat target was the main force of the Japanese Fifth Army and the Sixth Army, which had been withdrawn from Mongolia. As soon as the Japanese troops are discovered, our troops will immediately pounce on them and destroy them with lightning speed. As soon as this battle is fought, it may turn into a big war. We may be able to wipe out the main force of the Sixth Army or the main force of the Fifth Army in one fell swoop, or even stew the little devils of the two armies in one pot. If this battle is successfully concluded, the Kwantung Army's advantage over our army will be greatly reduced. There is not even an advantage. Next, our army will move around Changchun, and even cross the Yalu River to clean up the North Korean army. Everything is decided according to the change of the hostile situation. ”

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he asked for everyone's opinions. As a result, several people said that it was best to avoid the fortified city of Changchun and destroy the enemy in the wild.

Liu Yimin then began to divide labor: "Political Commissar Chen, Comrade Fuchun, Comrade Xiang Ying, and Comrade Peng Zhen are sitting in Shenyang and holding the rear. Political Commissar Luo, Chief of Staff Ye, and Director Cai and I led the troops to fight. You can rest assured, there are Zhao Shan and Xu Shiyou of the Liaodong Command on the ground in Liaodong, in addition to Chen Shiqu in Shanhaiguan in western Liaoning, there are also the Jinzhou garrison area of the Second Column, the Sixth Column and Fu Zhuting led by Liu Jianli, and the 12th Column of Wang Nanhu and Tang Liang in the direction of Jilin, and Liaoning is safe. While doing a good job in organizing political power and resuming production, you have stubbornly grasped three things: First, arms. The second is grain and grass, and the third is the training of reserve soldiers. As long as we grasp these three things, we will surely win. ”

Although Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, and Peng Zhen were not military cadres, they also knew that it was the best policy for the Japanese army to besiege Changchun after the large-scale fleet of Japanese troops rushed back. In particular, Chen Yun persisted in the struggle in the South Manchurian base area in history. The failure to evacuate South Manchuria enabled our army in the northeast to realize that South Manchuria and North Manchuria echoed each other from afar, and to cooperate with the main force of North Manchuria to reverse the passive situation of our army in the northeast.

Li Fuchun asked whether the urban population of Shenyang and Dalian should be evacuated to avoid heavy losses.

Peng Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Where to evacuate?" We don't know when the Japanese planes will bomb us, so we can't turn Shenyang and Dalian into empty and dead cities, right? In the final analysis, it can only lead the flames of war to the Japanese-occupied areas, which is the best! ”

All these are summed up from the experience of the struggle against the enemy, and they are all the truth.

Chen Yun asked Liu Yimin when he would act, and Liu Yimin said that he would act when the troops were in place. In the past two days, he will also meet with the comrades of the arsenal, the comrades of the training headquarters, and the comrades of the railway corps headquarters.

While a few people were talking, Colonel Barred came running in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Dear Liu, I have received a call back!" ”

Liu Yimin's reaction was very calm, and he took several telegrams from Colonel Barred and flipped through them, including General Marshall's telegram, Admiral Nimitz's telegram, and MacArthur, commander of the Southwest Pacific Theater, all of which were one, thanks to Liu Yimin for reminding him, and asked Liu Yimin to analyze the direction of the Navy's attack in the next step.

After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin said to Bao Ruide: "This question is not difficult, I can accurately judge the next attack direction of the Japanese navy from the situation of the Japanese army." However, there are two conditions: one is that after the main force of the Japanese Navy is eliminated, our army will ask the US Navy to transport and cooperate with our army to land on the Japanese mainland. The second is to ask the US Government to send high-level military representatives and officials of the Ministry of Commerce to Shenyang for talks to further discuss cooperation between the two militaries and cooperation between Northeast China and the United States. Our request is very simple, that is, we hope that we will not be discriminated against by the US government and that we will receive strong assistance from the United States. You must know that just one 20th Air Force is not enough, the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchu Army combined, millions of elites, just one 20th Air Force, is likely to lose in the confrontation with the Japanese Air Force. Moreover, compared with the assistance received by Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries from the United States, it is inconceivable that our army, which fought against the elite of the million-dollar Japanese army, could not receive assistance from the United States, and it is also unfair to our army, which has paid great sacrifices for the war of resistance! ”。

Cai Zhong laughed in his heart when he heard this, and felt that Liu Yimin had started to rip bamboo again, and it was the bamboo knocking on the heads of the Americans!

Liu Yimin didn't want to knock on the bamboo pole of the Americans, and he was already very satisfied with the 20th Air Force. But at this time, the Yankees have to ask for themselves, and they have to say what they want, right? Thinking about it, they are all in the War of Resistance and Fascist Aggression, the Americans have provided so much aid to Britain and the Soviet Union, and there is very little aid to China, and they are still dominated by Chiang Kai-shek, and our army can't get anything at all, isn't this nonsense!

After listening to the reaction, Bao Ruide was so surprised that his mouth grew again, and he didn't know what to say!

Liu Yimin smiled and said to Bao Ruide: "Colonel Bao Ruide, don't be so surprised, I am not taking the opportunity to blackmail, I am just describing the fact that our party and our army deserve the support and assistance of the United States. You can rest assured that we are allies who sincerely cooperate and fight side by side, and the actions of the US military deserve the support of our military. I'm just asking you to report our request truthfully to President Roosevelt and General Marshall. ”

Barred assured me that I would report it truthfully.

Liu Yimin said: "Judging from the current situation, the next step of the Japanese navy will continue to attack in the direction of Australia, and the specific targets of the attack should be Tulagi and the port of Morbiz in eastern New Guinea. This was because the Japanese did not have the strength to occupy Australia, and they could only cut off Australia from Pearl Harbor. Next, it is likely that due to the bombing of Japan by the United States, the Japanese Navy will capture Midway Island with the aim of threatening Pearl Harbor. Because Midway was the gateway and outpost of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese would never allow Midway to be in the hands of the U.S. military. This is where they must attack. ”

Not to mention Barred, John as a translator? Xie Weisi was busy recording. Finished recording, John? Xie Weisi specially brought the record book over for Liu Yimin to see.

After Liu Yimin read it, he returned the record book to Han? Xie Weisi, then glanced at all the people in the room, and said sharply: "This is the conclusion I have come to from studying the battle situation in the past few days, and no one is allowed to leak it." If anyone leaks it, it may lead to a major defeat of the US Navy, and there is more than enough to die! Did you hear it all? ”

Even after listening to the translation, Bao Ruide also stood up and said loudly that he heard clearly!
