592 Enemy, I, Friends Smash Bros. 9. Shall Japan go south?
592 enemies, me, friends "chaos" fight! Nine let Japan go south?
Luo Yaoguo's words made the Kuomintang army officers attending the meeting whisper, and there was a buzz in the conference room, Luo Yaoguo just raised his head and glanced at them, and the buzzing suddenly disappeared, and the whole conference room was quiet again.
Luo Yaoguo paused slightly, and then took out the second film and put it on the projector, which is a comparison chart of the two ** forces and military industries of China and Japan.
"This is the production table of the military industry and heavy industry in China and Japan last year." Luo Yaoguo pointed at the screen with a baton: "Including steel, coal, petroleum (including rock shale oil), electricity, electrolytic aluminum, electrolytic copper and other important raw materials, China's output has surpassed Japan; In terms of weapons production, China's output is also relatively large, including major projects such as aircraft, artillery, tanks, and warships. At present, however, the military strength of Japan's army far exceeds ours, and because Japan has a perfect general mobilization system and sufficient reserves of weapons and equipment, it has completed two rounds of general mobilization in less than six months since the start of the war, and the Japanese army already has more than 100 divisions and regiments, with a total strength of nearly 3 million. And we have not completed even a round of general mobilization so far, and the army has only formed 28 divisions, of which 23 are ...... formed before the war."
Luo Yaoguo explained the numbers on the chart one by one, and the numbers in the lower part of the chart were divided into two columns, one column was the number of the military strength currently possessed by the Nationalist "Government", and the other column was the number of military strength that Japan currently possessed.
What do these numbers mean? It can only be explained one thing: Japan's military strength is still very strong on the whole, and they are far from being completely defeated, but because they are far behind China in the air force, a new branch of arms, the result is a great defeat in the navy, and Japan's powerful army superiority cannot be brought into play. To put it simply, we were very lucky in this war, taking advantage of the fact that our opponents had not paid enough attention to the development of the air force in the past few years to take advantage of the opportunity and win this war. However, their powerful army did not suffer fatal losses at all, and it was only their army and navy aviation that suffered a devastating "sexual" blow, and the Japanese surface ships also suffered heavy losses. However, the Japanese Empire was far from being defeated, and in fact we did not have the strength to defeat the Japanese Army."
This time, there was no noise in the conference room, and the faces of the officers who were present at the meeting gradually became solemn. At present, the number of the Japanese Army will be several times more than that of China, the world's most populous country, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army is also comparable to that of the Nationalist Army, so the huge numerical superiority of the Japanese army is indeed unshakable by the Kuomintang Army
"As the chief of the general staff of the National Army, it is difficult for me to imagine how more than 800,000 troops can defeat 3 million troops? Such a numerical superiority is not something that our more than a thousand small biplane aircraft can compensate. ”
Luo Yaoguo put down the baton in his hand, paced around the conference table, and observed the expressions of the members of the Central Standing Committee and the Military Commission attending the meeting as he walked. Probably frightened by Luo Yaoguo's Japanese threat theory, most of the people had a solemn face, and Wang Jingwei, who was "pro-Japanese", had a pale old face, and there were faint beads of sweat coming out of his head.
"But, my lords, fortunately, Japan, with its strong army, is fundamentally an island nation, and their navy has just suffered a heavy blow. For an island country, the navy is the foundation of national defense, and if there is no strong navy, even if it has the world's largest army, it will not pose much threat to other countries, because they will be trapped on the island and will not be able to get out at all. Therefore, this is the reason why Japan will propose peace after the defeat in the naval battle of Bohai Bay, which shows that after a period of reflection, they have seen that their navy has a fatal weakness -- they do not have air supremacy, and the current progress in aviation technology has given aircraft the ability to threaten warships. Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo suddenly stood still, turned his head and stared at Wang Jingwei with blazing eyes: "Japan wants to take advantage of this peace negotiation to gain the opportunity to recuperate, and then they will smash the pot and sell iron, tighten their belts, and develop aviation, and when their aviation is developed, they will definitely make a comeback."
"And should we give Japan a chance to make a comeback?" Luo Yaoguo asked himself, and then asked himself: "The suggestion of the General Staff is not to give us the opportunity to make full use of the advantages we have now obtained, to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese Navy, and to seize the bridgehead of Japan threatening China's southeastern coastal region -- the island of Taiwan."
This conclusion once again caused the officers present at the meeting to buzz and discuss, and dozens of pairs of eyes full of doubt and surprise were cast on Luo Yaoguo, but he ignored it and ended his speech, giving the opportunity to expound the battle plan to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese navy to seize the island of Taiwan to Vice Admiral Zhao Zheng, commander of the Nanyang Fleet.
Speaking for the first time at such a meeting where the most powerful reactionaries in South China gathered, Zhao Zheng was quite calm, and after saluting the party-state members at the conference table, he spoke softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the plan of the Navy's Nanyang Fleet is to attack the island of Taiwan, attract the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet to the south, and then conduct a decisive battle in the waters southwest of Taiwan, use air superiority and submarines to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese Combined Fleet, and finally seize Taiwan. Turning Taiwan from a bridgehead for Japan's attack on China into a fortress that shields the southeast coast and completely eliminates the threat from the sea, so that our country can concentrate on confronting the Soviet Union, a strong enemy from the north. ”
As soon as Zhao Zheng's words fell, Chiang Kai-shek immediately spoke: "After the Japanese navy suffered a crushing defeat in the naval battle of Bohai Bay, will it still send its fleet to the sea area firmly controlled by our air force?" In case the Japanese Navy does not go to the rescue of Taiwan, but to help their land forces land on the Shandong Peninsula and come to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, can we deal with it? ”。
Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, showing a hint of thought, Lao Jiang was obviously prepared, and the reasons put forward were also very sufficient.
"Please rest assured that the navy has a comprehensive plan for this, and the Japanese army has no place on the Shandong Peninsula at present. If the Japanese army wanted to encircle Wei and save Zhao, it would have to commit a large enough army in Shandong, and such an army would have to have a large enough supply port to ensure the transportation of logistical supplies. There are only three such ports in the northeast and southwest of the Shandong Peninsula: Yantai, Weihai and Qingdao. Among them, Qingdao and Weihai are both naval fortresses with a well-developed defense system, while the port of Yantai has been blocked by shipwrecks and mines since the start of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War. Zhao Zheng took out a card with a map of Shandong and put it on the projector, and gave Chiang Kai-shek a detailed description of the defense of the Navy's Qingdao Fortress and Weihai Fortress. Finally, it was also guaranteed that if the Japanese army dared to land on the Shandong Peninsula, the planes used for operations in the Taiwan Strait would be transferred to Shandong in two days at most, so as to cooperate with the army there to annihilate the invading enemy.
"Then how many ground forces and air force does the South Sea Fleet intend to use? How much time will it take to seize the entire territory of Taiwan? Chiang Kai-shek's brow did not unravel because of Zhao Zheng's answer, but became more and more wrinkled.
"We plan to use the Marine Brigade and at least four infantry divisions of the Army's ground forces. The Air Force needs to concentrate one aviation division, one naval aviation division, and about one hundred and fifty aircraft on two aircraft carriers, and a total of seven hundred combat aircraft of various types are planned to be put into service; In addition, we also intend to mobilize all 32 submarines of the North and South Ocean Fleets to participate in the battle, and the results of the naval battle in the Bohai Bay show that the anti-submarine capability of the Japanese Navy is very weak, and our submarine forces should achieve quite good results. After talking about the troops he was going to mobilize, Zhao Zheng confidently assured:
"In this battle, if the Japanese Navy hides in its nest and does not come out, then we can seize the island of Taiwan without any suspense. If they dare to come, the lowly will have 100% confidence in destroying them all."
"General Zhao Hanyu's plan is feasible, with 700 combat aircraft and 32 submarines, it will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese fleet." An Sihua, commander of the Northeast Theater of Operations, spoke in support, he raised his brown eyebrows, and said: "At present, the Japanese army has been in a difficult situation on the Manchurian battlefield, mainly because after the blockade of Port Arthur, their logistical supplies are insufficient, and now they have no strength to launch a new offensive. The attack on Mongolia by the Chinese and G has just begun, and the two divisions of the Youth Army and the Sixth Army of Wang Zhongyi's Anti-Japanese Alliance are stationed in the Kobdo area and Zhongyi Fort in Eastern Mongolia respectively to prepare for resistance, and Kulen will be abandoned in a planned way, and it is estimated that the Mongol campaign will last for a long time. ”
"In addition, according to the report of the Anti-Japanese Federation, their intelligence department found that the Japanese troops stationed in Harbin showed signs of retreat."
"That was a sign that Japan was preparing to retreat from Manchuria, and they had accepted the mediation of Britain and the United States." Foreign Minister Wang Ching-wei's face flashed with a hint of worry: "If we refuse to mediate, Britain and the United States may no longer support us, or even support Japan to oppose our country, and this will have an extremely unfavorable impact on our long-term development in the future." ”
Diplomatically, the possibility of losing the support of the British and American powers is the biggest weakness of the plan to attack Taiwan, after all, the capture of Taiwan shows that the Nationalist "government" has ambitions for the southern resource area, at least the British and American powers will interpret it this way, and it is impossible for them not to be vigilant about this.
"At the moment, the United Kingdom and the United States are in the midst of an economic crisis, and they will not give much support to Japan in the short term." Luo Yaoguo retorted loudly: "From the current information from the EU countries, the economic depression may continue for several years, so we don't have to think too much about the attitude of Britain and the United States after our country seizes Taiwan." ”
"But the economic crisis will pass, and Britain will be free to support Japan, as they have always done on the continent." Wang Jingwei seemed very worried, in fact, the reason why Japan became a great power so smoothly was the result of Britain's vigorous support, they supported Japan first to deal with the Manchus, and then to fight against Tsarist Russia, and now after the rise of China, Britain will feel threatened, Wang Jingwei believes that Britain will definitely choose to support Japan.
"Britain and the United States may support Japan to contain our country, but they will also continue to support our country against the Soviet Union." Luo Yaoguo's tone was relaxed, as if he didn't take the British Empire too seriously: "As long as we strictly abide by the "Naval Arms Limitation Treaty" after seizing Taiwan, it will be fine, if it is not possible, we will create some incidents in the north, as long as our relations with the Soviet Union are tense, Britain and the United States will naturally rest assured." Moreover, even if we do not defeat Taiwan, Britain may still support Japan, and when the time comes, a recovered Japan will have the island of Taiwan in its hands, and it will be really difficult for us to sleep peacefully. ”
"But what if the Japanese reached an armistice with the 'government' in Peking? They could hand over Manchuria to the GCD, and even help the GCD to level down Wang Zhongyi's forces. He Yingqin, deputy chief of the General Staff, asked coldly.
This question is naturally not something that Zhao Zheng or An Sihua can answer, and everyone's eyes are on Luo Yaoguo. Luo Yaoguo, who had always been full of confidence, was silent for a short time at this time, which was the part he was most unsure of. Once Japan handed over the occupation zone of Manchuria to the CG, which, with the support of the Soviet Union, took advantage of the opportunity of the Kuomintang army to attack Taiwan and occupied Manchu and Mongolia after eliminating Wang Zhongyi's forces, it would be the turn of the Kuomintang to have a headache.
"There is no possibility that Japan will hand over all of Manchuria to the GCD, and Wang Zhongyi's army will not be easily defeated." Wu Ziliang stood up and replied for Luo Yaoguo that at this joint meeting, although he was not qualified to sit at the conference table as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he still had the right to speak:
"According to the intelligence, Zhongg has no way to command Zhang Xueliang's three legions now, and their available troops are only more than 200,000, and if they are gathered together, they can still fight a battle. If the soldiers were divided into two routes, attacking Mongolia all the way and Manchuria all the way, I was afraid that they would be broken by Wang Zhongyi. Therefore, if Japan wants to hand over Manchuria to the Chinese G, the Chinese and the Chinese will inevitably have to give up attacking Mongolia and march to Liaoji, while Wang Zhongyi can own the western part of Heilongjiang, the Great Khing'an Mountains, Ulanqab, the Xing'an League, and the entire Mongolian region, and the strategic maneuver space is huge. Moreover, most of the Mongolian herders who practiced Tibetan Buddhism would support Wang Zhongyi, so it was impossible for the GCD to defeat him unless the Soviets went into battle shirtless. ”
After Wu Ziliang finished speaking, Luo Yaoguo smiled and said to He Yingqin: "Brother Jing, if we solve Taiwan first, we may give China and G a chance to develop and grow, but we have also eliminated Japan's threat to our southeast coast once and for all." Japan will no longer contain a large number of our troops, and if China and G want to violate the previous agreement and go to war with us, the number of troops we can use will also be greatly increased. ”
He Yingqin frowned, as if he was thinking about the changes in the situation in East Asia after the capture of Taiwan: "After we occupy Taiwan, we will not be able to solve the Japanese threat once and for all. He shook his head and expressed his worries: "After the Meiji Restoration, Japan followed the path of aggressive expansion, and in East Asia, Japan could only expand in two directions: Manchuria, Mongolia and Nanyang. If we capture Taiwan, Japan's southward path will be cut off by us, and then Manchuria-Mongolia will become the only direction of Japan's expansion. I am worried that after Japan loses Taiwan, it will be possible to expand its war of aggression against Northeast China. ”
"That's right, after we capture Taiwan, Japan will not retreat from Manchuria anymore." Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei's eyes lit up, he stood up and said: "Even if we want to withdraw our troops, we will be required to withdraw our troops from Taiwan at the same time, and Britain and the United States will most likely support Japan's demand." If we do not return Taiwan, it is very likely that Britain and the United States will lift sanctions against Japan. When the time comes, our war with Japan will continue for a long time, and it will be a disaster for both China and Japan."
Wang Ching-wei's remarks once again hit the soft underbelly of Taiwan's strategy plan, and now Japan has completed two rounds of general mobilization, and the total strength of the army is close to 3 million, far exceeding that of the Kuomintang army, and the line of communication from the Japanese mainland to the northeast cannot be cut off by simply blocking Port Arthur. Therefore, after the loss of Taiwan and the heavy defeat of the Combined Fleet, Japan will inevitably occupy Liaoji or Liaodong Peninsula with the numerical superiority of their land forces, so as to blackmail the Kuomintang to exchange Taiwan for it.
However, Chiang Kai-shek nodded thoughtfully after hearing Wang Jingwei's argument, and a somewhat strange smile appeared on his face.
"I think it is a very undesirable strategy to indulge Japan in invading the South China Sea along Taiwan and the South China Sea." Feeling that the participants were a little moved by Wang Jingwei's words, Zhao Zheng, who was present at the meeting, could not wait to retort loudly: "Unless we form an alliance with Japan to carve up the South Seas, Japan will never rest assured that the 2,000-kilometer-long logistics line will be placed under the guns of our powerful naval fleet."
Zhao Zheng strode to the front of the conference table, put a chart of the South China Sea on the projector, and then he picked up the baton and drew a straight line between Zhanjiang, Guangdong, Taiwan: "There is only a 1,000-kilometer straight-line distance between the island of Taiwan and Zhanjiang, the home port of our Nanyang Fleet. That is to say, Zhanjiang Port and the entire Nanyang Fleet will always be under the threat of Japan's shore-based air forces, if I am the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, after receiving the mission in the South Seas, I will use shore-based aircraft or aircraft carriers to carry out a surprise sneak attack to completely defeat the South Ocean Fleet, and then dare to boldly go south. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, judging from the tactics used by Japan in previous foreign wars, they are very fond of this kind of surprise sneak attack Japan has adopted sneak attack tactics in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Shandong War of Resistance and this time the Northeast War of Resistance, if we do not occupy Taiwan now, then the next sneak attack will be the Nanyang Fleet, which has spent a huge amount of public money."
