935 Total War VII seems to have been defeated?

Zhanjiang Military Port, Joint Command of the Philippine Campaign of the National Defense Forces.

The radio in the intelligence center was ticking, the telephones in the command center were ringing one after another, and staff officers in navy and air force uniforms were hurrying in and out, passing on the latest information, battle results, losses, and orders. Admiral Zhang Yiming, chief of staff of the Joint Command, stood in front of two large blackboards with his arms crossed, and on the left of them were the names of aircraft carriers (including seaplane carriers), battleships, and heavy cruisers under the jurisdiction of the Joint Command. On the blackboard on the right are the names of the main ships of the Japanese Navy.

On the blackboard on the left, at the bottom of the aircraft carrier column, next to the names of the seaplane carriers Chongming Island and the Arctic Island, the two dazzling Chinese characters "War Sinking" have been written in red chalk! In addition, next to the names of the Heilongjiang aircraft carrier and the Jilin aircraft carrier, the two big characters "heavy damage" were also written in red chalk.

On the blackboard on the right, which represents the losses of the Japanese Navy, none of the aircraft carriers are marked with the words "sunk", but there are three aircraft carriers that are marked as badly damaged, namely the aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu. In addition, there are three ships, Ruihe, Xianghe and Shenlong, which are marked with the words "Zhongchuang".

In addition to the aircraft carriers, there were also several cruisers and destroyers on each of the two large blackboards marked with the words "heavily damaged", "medium-created" or sunk. In addition, in the blank space of the blackboard, an approximate picture of the losses of aircraft on both sides was written in white chalk. On the first day of the Philippine campaign, the Chinese made 2,058 sorties, losing 15 fighters and 12 bombers, with a battle loss rate of 1.3 percent, in addition to 50 Min-25 seaplanes and two seaplane carriers. The Japanese side lost nearly 1,000 aircraft (the sum of the results reported by various air regiments and surface ships), of which nearly 800 were kamikaze aircraft.

"Brother Hanyu, it seems that we have won the first battle this time." Zhang Yiming looked at the statistics of the results (losses) on the blackboard, and sighed lightly: "It seems that the initiative in the Philippine campaign has been reached, and the next step is to start the landing operation." ”

"Okay," the only tall general in the combat center wearing an army uniform clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't expect our army to be able to play so soon, it's really good!" ”

Zhao Zheng smiled faintly and said to the army general: "Brother Zuomin, don't be too complacent, your army's battle is not easy to fight, have you seen the madness of those Japanese kamikaze planes today?" We have such a big advantage, and we are stunned that the Japanese sank two seaplane carriers! One can imagine the difficulty of the Philippine campaign to attack the island. ”

It turned out that this tall general was General Sun Liren, the commander of the Nanyang Front, and Zuomin was his character. In the current national defense force, there are many masters in armored warfare and positional warfare, but when it comes to light infantry, it is Sun Liren, who was "born" in the special forces, so this time Luo Yaoguo still uses him to attack the Philippines.

Sun Liren waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "It is not difficult for the Philippines to fight to seize the island, according to the information we have now, after the Japanese took over the Philippines, they invested a certain amount of financial and material resources in repairing the so-called Manila Fortress. The focus of the defense was on Manila, the Bataan Peninsula, and the Corregido Fortress, and large-caliber coastal defense guns were also brought from the mainland to be placed on the Corregido Fortress and the Bataan Peninsula...... I estimate that the Japanese are deploying like this, firstly, they are fighting the idea of holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, holding on to a few key points, and waiting for their navy to come to reinforce them; The second is to save troops to the greatest extent, now their battle line is too long, and they are on the strategic defensive, so their troops naturally appear insufficient.

Therefore, the focus of attacking the Philippines is still the navy, as long as the navy can ensure sea supremacy in the South China Sea, blockade the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines, and cut off Japan's reinforcement routes, how long can at most 100,000 Japanese soldiers defend the Philippine Islands? Besides, now on the Korean side, Commander Bai has commanded 12 armies to attack, and the strength of the Japanese Army will be exhausted sooner or later in the meat grinder of North Korea, and they will not be able to take care of the Philippines at that time. ”

After listening to Sun Liren's analysis, Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "What Brother Zuomin said is extremely true, the Philippines is indeed not difficult to fight, but it is probably not easy to use the Philippines to hook up the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which is really a pity...... Of the 13 aircraft carriers of the Japanese, none of us remained. Saying that, he shook his head slightly, and said to Zhang Yiming: "Brother Youshi, let's summarize and report today's battle situation, and also, propose to start the Philippine landing operation." ”

……

At this moment, on both sides of the Yalu River, the sound of artillery is fierce.

On the top of a small hill on the north bank of the Yalu River in the boundary of Liaoning Province, Hou Jingru and Liao Yunze were looking at the tumbling sea of fire in front of them with binoculars. The small town by the Yalu River not far from them had been completely razed to the ground by the Japanese shelling! If it weren't for Hou Jingru and Liao Yunze, who are the Liaoning Provincial Security Commander and the Chief of Staff of the Liaoning Provincial Security Command, who evacuated the residents there in time, I am afraid that tens of thousands of innocent people would have been buried in the fire. After completing the task of evacuating people from the border towns, the two of them did not return to Shenyang in time, but found an excuse to stay on the front line to watch the battle.

Although both of them were born in the first phase of Huangpu and served in the National Revolutionary Army, the National Defense Force, or other armies for more than ten years, the scene in front of them was still a bit unimaginable for them. Both of them frowned, looking at the front line like a sea of fire. After a while, Hou Jingru put down the binoculars, leaned into Liao Yunze's ear, and said in a low voice: "This kind of fighting method was only seen in the bulletin in the past, but now it can be regarded as witnessing it with my own eyes, and such a war is really not possible without the backing of a strong industry." I'm afraid we can't afford it! ”

Liao Yunze turned his head to look at Hou Jingru, and said with a cold smile: "I can't afford to fight, the war between Tsarist Russia and Germany in history is bigger than this scene, and the Bolshevik Party is not the last to ......" Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, and finally ...... It seems that the Russian Empress Anastasia has been restored! He snorted softly a few times, and then turned the topic back to China on his own. "Xinlang, what do you think? Who will win this battle at the moment? The central government is still waiting for our report. ”

Hou Jingru frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "Judging from the intensity of the shelling in front of us, the Japanese side has the advantage, but the several forced crossings they organized this afternoon were also thwarted by the Kuomintang. Judging from the organization and use of firepower on the Kuomintang side, they were not overwhelmed by the Japanese firepower, and the air battle this afternoon was also a complete victory for the Kuomintang side...... We've seen it with our own eyes. If nothing else, the air supremacy on the battlefield will be completely controlled by the Kuomintang for one more day at most, and without air supremacy, the Japanese army will not be able to defeat the Yalu River defense line at all. It is estimated that at the beginning of next month at most, the Kuomintang will turn to attack the Yalu River. Seeing that there was no possibility of opening up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base in South Manchuria, we should suggest that the central authorities should focus their efforts on helping the Korean revolutionaries to establish a coalition government. ”

"But the news from the Korean comrades says that Japan still has a powerful armored force hidden on the south bank of the Yalu River, and if this armored force makes a move, is it possible to defeat the two armies of the Kuomintang?" Liao Yunze has been serving as a military attache in various parts of South America for the past 10 years, and he does not know much about the real strength of the National Defense Forces, but he has only seen a lot of articles praising the Chinese National Defense Forces from Chinese-language newspapers in South American countries. However, he still did not think that the Wehrmacht, which relied on two armies, could withstand the assault of more than a dozen divisions and more than 1,000 tanks of the Japanese army...... Perhaps, in the end, he can stabilize his position on the front line of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Jilin, and then slowly turn to a counteroffensive. In this way, although there is not much room for development in South Manchuria, China and G can still make a difference, and on a national scale, they can also use the organization of the anti-Japanese united front to expand their influence.

Hou Jingru waved his hand, and strode towards the bottom of the hill, "Let's go, let's go see Sun Yuanliang and hear what he has to say." Whether Anton can hold here or not, he, the commander of the Fifth Army, is the authority. Maybe their Fifth Army also has some killer features that haven't been exposed! In the past two days, I have heard a lot of rumors about tanks from the brothers below, as if these 10 infantry corps in the northeast are equipped with a lot of tanks, and they may be able to fight against the Japanese armored forces. ”

When Hou Jingru and Liao Yunze came to the headquarters of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army, located on the north bank of the Yalu River, north of Dajin Daoling, in Toad Tang Town. Our Commander Sun had just come down from the former enemy headquarters in Dajindaoling, and he was secretly sighing there. This lieutenant general, who has been following Luo Yaoguo smoothly, can be regarded as truly understanding the cruelty of war today!

This afternoon, the first round of artillery battles between the two sides lasted for 80 minutes! In the end, no one can overwhelm the opponent with artillery and control the initiative on the battlefield. And the Japanese launched a fierce attack on all fronts in the case of a tie in the artillery battle! The Japanese army deployed at least 8 divisions on a frontal of just over 50 kilometers from Jiulian City in the east to the mouth of the Yalu River in the west! As many as eight wings of infantry were involved in the first wave of forced crossings, six of which were responsible for diliting the attack, and the two main wings were placed on a 10-kilometer-wide front near the original county town of Andong. More than 5,000 Japanese infantrymen rowed assault boats and forced their way under the cover of hundreds of artillery, infantry guns, and mortars. Sun Yuanliang's Fifth Army also mobilized hundreds of heavy artillery, more than 100 mortars, and recoilless guns to block the river with firepower, and hundreds of machine-gun bunkers deployed on the north bank of the Yalu River suddenly opened fire as soon as the Japanese troops stepped on the river beach on the north bank, and formed a series of fire nets on the river beach with fierce machine gun fire, and knocked down the Japanese troops row by row with the fire of various artillery! The beachhead on the north bank of the Yalu River in this section suddenly became a slaughterhouse, and standing on a high place, there were mutilated Japanese corpses at a glance, and the two wings responsible for the main attack could almost go back to repair them.

But after the failure of the first round of attacks, the Japanese did not choose to give up, but began to bombard those exposed fire points with extremely heavy artillery. And the Wehrmacht artillery immediately returned fire without showing weakness, and the artillery battle between the two sides lasted for about an hour before the Japanese began the second wave of infantry offensive! The second wave of the Japanese offensive also involved 8 wings, and the focus of the offensive was exactly the same, almost a copy of the first wave. However, the results were better than the first wave of the offensive, and after two hours of hard fighting, the second wave of Japanese devils who forced their way finally opened up a small strip of long beachhead north of the Yalu River after paying an unimaginable price of casualties. However, such a small position immediately became a mill of flesh and blood, and the shells of the Wehrmacht artillery came so densely and quickly that every shell exploded and killed a large area of Japanese infantry who were crowded and desperately digging fortifications! When Sun Yuanliang came down from the former enemy headquarters in Dajindaoling, the Japanese had just dug a trench that was only half a meter wide and one meter deep. Of course, Sun Yuanliang's Fifth Army was not without a way to drive them into the Yalu River to feed the fish, and this group army had two panzergrenadier divisions that served as reserves, but Commander Bai in Shenyang did not allow Sun Yuanliang to put them into battle for the time being......

"Brother Xinlang (Hou Jingru), Brother Huichuan (Liao Yunze), which gust of wind blew you here!" Seeing the two old classmates visiting, Sun Yuanliang barely squeezed out a little smile on his pale face, and arched his hand at the two of them. "Brother, this is the front line, and there is nothing to entertain you, please forgive me."

"Hey, how can I let you entertain?" Hou Jingru waved his hand and said with a smile: "Huichuan and I are the landlords, and when the battle here is over, the two of us will be the mutton of Donglaishun and Shenyang Donglaishun." Speaking of this, he took two more steps forward, leaned over to Sun Yuanliang's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how is the fight in front?" Did the Japanese cross the Yalu River? ”

Sun Yuanliang shook his head and sighed: "People have already come!" In one afternoon, 16 wings were put in, two waves of casualties were lost, and tens of thousands of casualties were piled up, and a beachhead was piled up with corpses on the north bank of the Yalu River! These little devils are so *** ruthless! ”

"What? They're already here? Can you press it back? The anger on Liao Yunze's face flashed, and then he said: "We spent so much hard-earned money from the common people to build such a well-armed national defense force, and finally let the Japanese ...... in" At this moment, Dai Jian, chief of staff of the Fifth Group Army, ran in with a heavy face, rushed straight to Sun Yuanliang, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, it's not good, our Zhanjiang Military Port has been surrendered by the Japanese devils!" Two motherships, 100 aircraft, more than 3000 casualties were lost! Both houses of parliament have just unanimously passed a resolution to declare war on Japan, and the president is making a radio speech to the nation! ”

……

“…… 650,000,000 compatriots, I tell you a shocking bad news with great sadness and indignation! Today, October 17, 1939, the Republic of China, a country that has always loved peace, has been attacked by a sudden, long-planned attack by the Japanese imperialist army.

Moreover, this is after China had just made significant concessions to Japan on the issue of Australia and the South Seas, and that the Japanese negotiator, Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, had already made it clear on behalf of the Japanese government that he accepted China's demands for peace. In fact, even as the Japanese imperialist forces were shelling the territory of Liaoning Province north of the Yalu River, the Japanese Foreign Minister in Tehran still submitted to our Foreign Minister what Japan called a formal peace proposal......

The General Staff of the Wehrmacht has just submitted to me an update on the situation of the war, and I regret to inform you that the sudden attack of the Japanese imperialists, which had undeclared war, had caused serious damage to the lives and property of the Wehrmacht's army and navy, as well as to the Chinese civilians. Two aircraft carriers were sunk by Japanese planes near the Zhanjiang military port, two other aircraft carriers and two cruisers were wounded to varying degrees, and the Wehrmacht army units stationed on the Sino-Japanese border also suffered heavy casualties in the sudden enemy artillery fire, and thousands of innocent people were also killed in the enemy's artillery fire. The specific casualty figures have not yet been counted, but only preliminary statistics show that tens of thousands of Chinese and civilians have become victims of the sudden attack of the Japanese imperialists without declaring war!

In the face of such a murderous enemy, which has no faith or righteousness, of course, our 650,000,000,000 compatriots can only unite to fight against them, and we must fight them to the end, and we must not consider compromise! Although it is our national policy to uphold peace, and although the Chinese nation has always emphasized tolerance and benevolence, it ......"

Luo Yiqun's speech quickly spread throughout China and the world through the airwaves, and also reached the center of the world revolution in Beiping. In the office of the Central Military Commission in the palace of Shuncheng Wang, Zhou Elai and his comrades sat together, turned on the radio and listened carefully to every word that President Luo Da said.

In the face of the current situation, the leaders of the Central G seemed to be a little caught off guard, after listening to Luo Yiqun's radio speech, Zhou Elai wrung his eyebrows and was thinking hard, Mao ZD was also smoking cigarettes one after another, and other comrades of the Central Military Commission did not speak.

Zhang Xueliang stood on a huge map of China, using the red and blue pencils in his hand to sketch the latest tripartite situation map of the enemy, us, and friends.

"Chairman," the door of the conference room creaked open, and it was Gu Shunzhang who came in, and he turned around and left after handing a yellow copy of the newspaper to Zhou Elai, without saying a word. The leaders of the Chinese G in the office all knew that this must be information sent through secret channels.

"The Nanyang Fleet has been put under martial law, and our comrades lurking there cannot be contacted." Zhou E glanced at the telegram, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "However, through other channels, our comrades still heard some news, the Kuomintang navy was indeed defeated by the Japanese!" At least two aircraft carriers were lost, more than 100 aircraft were lost, and more than 3000 officers and men were lost! In addition, the resistance of the Kuomintang in the northeast was also very weak, and the Japanese had already fought the Yalu River! ”
