The command hall of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing was busy green, and the flags symbolizing the deployment of troops on the huge sand table in the middle were densely packed in Southeast Asia, and there were constantly staff officers updating and changing, which showed that many troops were on the move.

Li Bufan, Wu Di, Xu Shuzheng, Li Hengshan, Li Huashan, Li Songshan, Li Huangshan, Li Haijun, Li Air Force, Zhang Xiaozhun, Lan Tianwei and other high-ranking generals all stared closely at the sand table, talking from time to time, judging from the situation in which they nodded, it was obvious that they were at least quite satisfied with the current situation.

"Commander-in-chief, according to this situation, in about ten days, we will be able to basically complete the strategic deployment." Zhang Xiaozhun is quite satisfied with the current military deployment, which is unthinkable for the previous Beiyang Army, and it can achieve this point entirely thanks to the orders and prohibitions of the Chinese National Defense Forces after the current reorganization. Of course, there is also the southwest transportation system built by Li Bufan, and several traffic arteries are paved with asphalt roads, which can march quickly even when it rains.

"We are indeed moving much faster than the great powers." The others nodded their heads in satisfaction.

"Report, Tokyo Kyuden." Suddenly, a staff officer ran over in a bit of panic and reported loudly.

When Chief of Staff Li Huashan took the telegram and read it, his face changed greatly, and he quickly said hurriedly: "The fleets of the great powers in Tokyo Bay are the first to open fire, and the Korean army launches a counterattack. ”

This news instantly made the entire command hall of the Ministry of Defense become dead, and only the sound of the radio remained.

"I'm grass!" In the middle of the sound, Wu Di broke out first and scolded: "These miscellaneous people actually dare to do it first, we really can't be bullied." Boss, there's nothing to hesitate about, kill those ** raisers. ”

Wu Di was really angry, as a traverser, he was already very aggrieved. However, Li Bufan still fits more with the blueprint of his grand cause, but his mother's planning and layout is prepared to trap people, in his opinion, the drama has been arranged, and he has to direct it according to his layout. But the other party dared to do it first before he called "start", which is simply anti-guest-oriented. This is worth it, and there must be a lesson.

Lan Tianwei frowned and said, "However, it will take about ten days for us to prepare. ”

Li Bufan said solemnly: "War will never wait for you, and there is no time to be absolutely prepared. The most important thing is that our strategic layout is based on our unpreparedness in the initial attack, and only in this way can we inflict heavy losses on the Far Eastern bloc of the great powers at the first opportunity. If you give the enemy preparation and want to defeat them, it will be much more difficult. ”

Li Songshan said with a straight face: "Commander-in-chief, we are not fully prepared, and the preparations of the great powers are even worse, so we should make a decision now." ”

Li Bufan looked at Li Air Force and Li Haijun and said, "How are the Air Force and Navy prepared?" ”

Li Air Force said solemnly: "There is no problem with the Air Force. ”

Li Haijun said: "There is no problem with the navy. The troop carriers are also basically in place, and as long as the air force can complete its tasks as planned, there will be no problem at all in landing operations. ”

Li Bufan shouted loudly: "Okay! Then hit him ** as planned. Operational Plan No. 2, Execute it immediately! ”

"Yes!" The general of the Ministry of Defense Hall responded with a bang, and in an instant, the entire Ministry of Defense became unprecedentedly busy.

Xu Shuzheng, who has not spoken, was sent by Duan Qirui to communicate with the Ministry of National Defense, after all, he is currently in a state of extreme tension, and the Southeast Asian powers are constantly increasing their troops and mobilizing troops, and war may break out at any time, Duan Qirui, as the president, cannot but pay attention to the actions of the military. At this moment, Xu Shuzheng stepped forward and said, "Commander-in-chief, do you want to report to the president first?" After all, the stakes are high. Even if you want to do it, you must declare war before launching a full-scale attack, otherwise it will provoke international criticism. ”

Wu Di didn't wait for Li Bufan to speak, and sneered on the spot: "Joke! Why don't foreign devils say hello first? They do the first year of junior high school, and we do the fifteenth. ”

Xu Shuzheng said hurriedly: "I think it may be a misunderstanding. The military deployment of the great powers is far from being in place, how can it be possible to take the lead in provoking a war? Even if they really want to fight, I think they just want to fight a local war. ”

Wu Di sneered: "I'm sorry, whoever fights a local war with them will fight a full-scale war if they want to fight." What was the weakness of the great powers? In this special period, they are afraid of paying huge casualties and dying. But we are not afraid, there are many of us, and we would rather exchange the blood of a generation for the eternal prosperity of our Chinese nation! ”

Xu Shuzheng shouted: "Master Wu, this is not the time for a battle of will. Commander-in-chief, all-out war, it will affect the whole body. In such a war, China will be fighting the whole world with its own strength. Besides, we're not quite ready. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "The whole world? Do they deserve it too? Be ready to do it, and do it if you're not ready! ”

For China, the current situation is like an arrow on the bow. If the Great Powers had not changed their form of dealing with China, then the time for them to start a war in Southeast Asia might have been relaxed by one year. A hostile pattern has been formed, with the great powers attacking China's industrial capacity at the bottom of the kettle, and what is even worse is that the great powers are rapidly making military preparations. If the great powers are ready to fight again, it is difficult to say whether China will be able to stop it. The most important thing is that the great powers have used various means to get away foreign technicians who have come to China, and China's industrial capacity will not grow much in a short period of time, and there is no point in waiting any longer.

In this case, it is better to strike first.

Xu Shuzheng also knew that he couldn't make any waves in the Ministry of National Defense, so he shouted anxiously: "Commander-in-chief, the president is the leader of this country." He won't agree to war! With that, he turned around and left, almost running out of the Ministry of Defense.

Li Bufan sighed softly, he knew that Duan Qirui and the others had always hesitated to start a war with the great powers, although they communicated many times and verbally agreed to cooperate, in fact, they were still afraid of the strength of the great powers in their hearts. It's not that Li Bufan doesn't know the power of the powers, it's not that he doesn't know the huge and terrible industrial capabilities of the powers, but it is precisely because of this that he has to strike first.

Wu Di looked at Xu Shuzheng's back and said disdainfully: "Bah, this kid is still a hero who recovered Mongolia, how can he be like a girl." ”

Li Bufan shook his head and said with a smile: "Their worries are not unreasonable, after all, in some aspects, the enemy is strong and I am weak. Therefore, we must start first and take the lead, and the first opportunity is the initiative. In the shortest possible time, we will move the main battlefield out of the country to ensure the security of our homeland. I'm just wondering, how could the Great Powers be the first to fire? ”

Wu Di was actually extremely surprised by this, and immediately smiled and said, "Maybe someone wants us to fight with the great powers. He pointed to the north.

Li Bufan smiled: "If that's the case, that's the best." If the powers took the initiative to open fire, then it would be troublesome. "Passive and active are completely two different concepts, and taking the initiative at least means that they are prepared, even if the great powers are preparing for a local war, they can at least let other places pay attention to precautions if they are the first to open fire, and prevent China from opening up other battlefields.

"Woo" The mournful battle siren sounded violently, and the resident birds flew away.

Sanya Airport is huge, but on the surface it appears to be only a squadron and a few reconnaissance planes, and most of the airport is used for agricultural purposes, where military farms dry seafood such as millet and kelp during the busy season. Of course, at this time, the millet has already entered the warehouse, and it seems very empty.

However, when the battle alarm sounded, a large number of officers and men poured out from all sides, underground hangars were opened one after another, and brand-new fighters were pushed out one after another, and even bombs and aerial torpedoes were fully loaded. In just a dozen minutes, the airport was already full of more than 100 aircraft, including more than 30 H-1 bombers.

"Attention units, attention to all units. The troops of the Great Powers in the Gulf of Tonkin had already opened fire on our troops at 10:48 a.m. on October 9, taking the lead in provoking a war. War has broken out, and the safety of the Chinese nation depends on you. The commander-in-chief of the Ministry of National Defense personally ordered the 1st Air Force Division to take off immediately to bomb and destroy the combined fleet assembled by the great powers in Da Nang. All pilots are given five minutes to write a suicide note"

No one would have imagined that in Sanya, a "dilapidated" airport, an entire division of air force fighters would be arranged. A standard air division is subordinate to four brigades, and the normal configuration of a brigade is two fighter squadrons of 36 fighters, 12 bombers, plus six reconnaissance aircraft, which is to ensure that each brigade has the ability to read to support the troops. Of course, in addition to this mixed air division, there are also air divisions at the special strategic level, such as air supremacy, all equipped with destroyers, which are commonly known as fighters, and the purpose is to seize air supremacy; For example, a strategic air force division is fully equipped with bombers to carry out carpet strategic bombing or powerful bombing of strategic targets against important enemy targets.

In fact, Hainan Island is far from being more than one air force division, but three air force divisions were secretly arranged, and in less than half an hour, nearly 600 planes took off one after another, and the dense group of planes flew straight to Da Nang as if covering the sky.

Countless warplanes have taken to the skies at many airports in Taiwan, Guangxi, and Yunnan.

According to the views of the Wu enemy and the air force of later generations, the battle plan drawn up by Li Bufan, Wu enemy, and the Ministry of National Defense was that the air force would carry out the first wave of thunderous strikes to destroy the enemy's strategic targets. Such as the command headquarters, heavy artillery groups, strategic reserve warehouses, important defense lines, etc., of course, the combined fleets of the great powers are the primary targets of attack, in order to destroy the main force of the combined fleets of the great powers in one fell swoop, Li Bufan, Wu Di, and Li Air Force fully mobilized three air divisions.

For this reason, the Ministry of National Defense's attack order was immediately issued, and in addition to the more than 100 planes guarding against Soviet Russia in the north, all of China's planes totaling more than 2,000 were dispatched from the nest.

The first to be attacked by air raids was the advance detachment of the combined fleet of the great powers in the Gulf of Tonkin, because Li Bufan had already given a strict order that once attacked, there was no need to ask for instructions and immediately counterattack.

The whistling group of planes roared down from an altitude of more than 2,000 meters like birds with broken wings, and the sharp whistling was like the requiem of Lord Yama.

MacArthur never dreamed that the counterattack of the Chinese air force would come so quickly, and the exchange of fire that broke out at the dock was beyond his expectations, and he did not expect that the Chinese air force launched an air attack in less than 20 minutes, but the fatal thing was that in the panic counterattack, the warships of the fleet had just started.

He saw with his own eyes a Chinese plane swooping down and dropping a 500-kilogram bomb, which hit the middle of a heavy cruiser of more than 6,000 tons next to his flagship, and the speed of the plane's dive and the weight of the bomb caused the bomb to directly smash through the command cabin of the warship. )
