The essence of blitzkrieg is speed, and any fortified fortresses that may affect the speed of the advance are avoided as much as possible, leaving these things to the infantry behind.

In fact, this mode of operation also has serious hidden dangers, that is, it will cause the armored force to be disconnected from the infantry behind, if you can't quickly eliminate the infantry that is separated, it will produce considerable hidden dangers, and this hidden danger will be superimposed, if the depth of the country is larger, the more loopholes will be accumulated.

In the end, it would cause the collapse of the blitzkrieg, which was the reason for the final failure of the German attack on the Soviet Union, but it was enough to deal with a small country like North Korea, and the Chinese tanks were unstoppable all the way, and after breaking through the defense line of the Yalu River, they advanced 80 kilometers on the first day, and nearly 100 kilometers on the second day, when in fact the Chinese army was only about 20 kilometers away from Pyongyang.

That is, in less than half a day, the Chinese army will appear in the city of Pyongyang. This kind of speed made the Japanese side simply not believe, they had already arranged several lines of defense, originally wanted to delay the Chinese troops first, and then counterattack, the Japanese also equipped a lot of tanks, but most of them were destroyed by China during the fierce battle of the Yalu River.

The things they designed were typically thin skinned and fragile, but tanks were better than nothing, and Japan was stepping up domestic production at this time, and the first batch of additional tanks had been shipped to North Korea's territory, but they never expected the speed of the Chinese army to be so amazing.

Approaching Pyongyang from the Yalu River in two days, it is beyond everyone's imagination, is this telling a story of deification, you must know that there is a distance of more than 200 kilometers between the two places, and there are more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers guarding, these Japanese soldiers are not decorations, they are all crazy people armed with the spirit of bushido, they don't take their lives seriously at all, in order to deal with Chinese tanks, they can not hesitate to hold the bomb to fight hard.

And the fighting, albeit fiercely. Few of the Japanese soldiers surrendered. They all fought to the end, causing great trouble for the Chinese infantry that followed, but their bravery could not save the fate of Japan.

A steady stream of Chinese troops crossed the Yalu River and set foot on Korean soil, mercilessly slaughtering the Japanese soldiers who had been divided and surrounded, and the Chinese troops armed with heavy artillery, aircraft, and tanks were unstoppable, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter. And Chinese armored forces have already rushed into Pyongyang.

This kind of attack efficiency surprised China itself, except for Qiao Yu, Jiang Baili and others were deeply attracted by this blitzkrieg mode, and it was simply unexpected that the war could be carried out with such high efficiency.

"President, the Blitzkrieg method is truly amazingly powerful. I think it will be easy to take down the whole of North Korea at this speed! ”

"Brother Baili, I think you are still too optimistic, no tactics are perfect, in fact, the terrain of North Korea is not suitable for large-scale tank combat, but the section from Sinuiju to Pyongyang is barely flat, if you go further south, there will be a lot of mountainous areas, which is a great constraint on the tank division, and Japan is not without any power to fight back. In the middle of the mountains, there are a lot of fortifications. I'm worried about the danger of the tank troops! ”

"President, since you are worried that Japan will build fortifications. Then why not march quickly, and drive these Japanese pirates into the sea before the Japanese action, so that the whole of Korea will not be ours, and the speed of General Lu Han can sweep the whole of Korea within a month! Cao Kun made a suggestion on the side.

"Absolutely not!" Defense Minister Wu Tong hurriedly said to stop us, "We can't drive the Japanese into the sea for the time being, and this will not do us any good." ”

Wu Tong's words suddenly surprised everyone else, how can it be that it is not beneficial to win the battle, is it impossible to prevent the elder from being confused!

Jiang Baili on the side nodded again and again, "Minister Wu is right, the key to this war is also at sea, if China can break Japan's maritime hegemony, it is easy to say anything, if it fails to do this, it is not a choice to let the Japanese occupy Korea!" ”

Wu Tong and Jiang Baili actually thought of going together, for a bad neighbor like Japan is naturally eliminated as soon as possible, the more beneficial it will be to China, but China must also be clear about its own strength, now the main force of the Chinese Navy is only a starting point, with an aircraft carrier no matter what, it will not be able to complete the blockade of the island country, nor will it be enough to cover the landing of the Chinese army.

China's greatest hope this time is to break Japan's maritime hegemony and then take back the island of Taiwan, so that the Chinese navy can have more room for development.

And the Korean Peninsula is a side result, it is better to be able to occupy it, and there is no big problem if it cannot be occupied, and if it cannot defeat the Japanese navy, China will drive Japan out of Korea, which will only allow Japan to focus on naval construction, which is even more unfavorable to China, and retaining a part of Korea to the Japanese will make them keep sending troops to the Korean Peninsula and consuming more resources

The Korean Peninsula is like a bone, and once Japan bites it, China will gain the strategic initiative; in fact, this is the case in the struggle between the major powers, and it is not necessary to blindly seek perfection in the big picture, but should focus on the struggle for the general trend, and only by grasping the general trend can we win the strategic initiative.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, expanding the territory is the most practical thing, and it is also the most boiling thing, but North Korea also has a thousand-year history of statehood, and it is very difficult to swallow such a country in one bite, just like Japan now, to face the endless wave of resistance of the Koreans.

This kind of national grand strategy consideration is not something that everyone can understand, but Qiao Yu does not need everyone to understand, as long as China's decision-makers do not make stupid moves, it is enough.

"Brother Baili, give an order to Lu Han now, let him mainly consolidate the occupied area after capturing Pyongyang, purge the remnants of the Japanese soldiers, and don't blindly expand the results of the war!"

Jiang Baili hurriedly agreed, and at this time Lu Han's tank had rushed to the outside of Pyongyang, after the Japanese occupied the whole of Korea, it did make a lot of effort to operate, invested huge sums of money to improve North Korea's infrastructure, build railways, expand cities, build factories, and now Pyongyang is already very prosperous.

However, Pyongyang at this time was completely a scene of chickens and dogs, and there were only 2,000 Japanese soldiers in the city. And these people are also logistics troops. Originally, Pyongyang, as a logistics base to supply the defense line of the Yalu River, did not arrange too many troops, and Japan did not believe that China could attack here.

When the Japanese found out, it was too late, and they had no time to mobilize enough troops to Pyongyang, so they could only order the Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang to defend as best they could, and gather all the Koreans who were loyal to Japan. But these guys with little combat experience are very difficult to use.

They didn't know how to use the weapons at hand, and when they saw the Chinese tanks roaring, they couldn't stop being afraid, their legs would go limp, and they didn't have the courage to fight at all.

Lu Han saw what it means to flee from the wind, and it took only two days to break through the defense line of the Yalu River. The momentum of the Japanese army has changed dramatically, before this they were able to resist frantically by the Yalu River, at any cost, but at this time they could only flee in embarrassment, and these Japanese have lost their original spirit and become dead dogs.

The masters are like this, and the North Korean minions are even more unbearable, and the Biao San tank took the lead in rushing into the city of Pyongyang. The rudimentary Japanese offensive was easily crushed. Powerful tank guns can easily send anything in their way, whether it's people or buildings, into the sky. Blown to pieces.

Pyongyang's defenses collapsed under Chinese tank attack, and China took control of the city, thirty-seven years after the First Sino-Japanese War, when Chinese troops occupied the city, and Korea was a Chinese vassal before falling to the Japanese.

Time has passed, more than 30 years have passed, the Chinese army once again occupied the city, history is like a joke with everyone, the last time was the crazy retreat of the Chinese army, and now the Japanese are indeed fleeing in embarrassment, and the fun of history is here!

However, the occupation of Pyongyang does not mean that the war is over, China still has to consolidate its own gains, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese defeated troops to clean up, if they cannot be captured, then they can only be sent to see Amaterasu.

And the Japanese colonial organs must also be completely swept away, but this kind of work does not need to be done by Chinese, it is completely okay to hand it over to Jin Jiu, Jin Jiu has already arrived in Pyongyang by plane at this time, for Jin Jiu it is like a dream, he has long been looking forward to the day of the restoration of the country, but to be honest, Jin Jiu does not know if he can see that day.

But unexpectedly, this moment came so early, the Chinese army swept North Korea with a devastating posture, and now the Republic of Korea finally has its own territory, no longer has to live in China, and received the Chinese side to let him accept the power of the occupied area, which really makes Kim Jiu overjoyed.

He hurried to Pyongyang and immediately began his work, quickly cleaning up the garbage left by the Japanese, while the Chinese side focused on military matters, after all, the war would continue.

Qiao Yu also got the news of the occupation of Pyongyang, but what made Qiao Yu even more excited was another piece of news from Tianjin, which turned out to be good news from Ba Yuzao's aircraft design team.

Ba Yuzao is a full design genius, compared to Feng Ru, Ba Yuzao is more open-minded, and prefers to use new technologies, the Chinese army is equipped with a large number of aircraft, and has accumulated quite a lot of experience, the development of wooden biplanes has almost reached a limit, the speed is difficult to exceed 200 kilometers, the bomb load is also very limited, in the face of more and more powerful anti-aircraft firepower, biplanes have been difficult to adapt to the needs of war.

Ba Yuzao focused on the all-metal monoplane, which is faster, stronger and more stable, and can carry more ammunition, especially since China has obtained aluminum alloy technology from Germany, and has enough accumulation for designing an all-metal monoplane.

After more than a year of hard work, Ba Yuzao finally completed this work that has poured a lot of effort, Qiao Yu was also overjoyed after getting the news, although this breakthrough came a little late, if it was a breakthrough before the war, the Chinese army's aircraft would be able to leap a big step forward, but now it is not bad, if the production speed is fast enough, maybe it can catch up with the tail of the war!
