Chapter 183: Recovering Rehe
Yang Shuming also thought carefully when he asked Su Dao a question, and he didn't rush down as soon as he heard Su Dao say that there were ten of the world's most advanced warships. In recent years, he is not unaware of the arms restrictions imposed on China by countries around the world, and it is difficult to buy even a large-caliber artillery, not to mention the most advanced warships?
So after Su Dao said the most advanced battleship, Yang Shuming deliberately ignored the words "most advanced", in his opinion, even if there is the most advanced, people may not sell it to you, and they don't have time to supply it, unless they are fools. However, Yang Shuming did not dare to make a conclusion for the time being, but as long as it was a warship, it didn't matter if the surname could be worse than that of a little devil, it was true that he could form his own navy.
As Su Dao said that the 99th Army did not get a penny from the central government, Yang Shuming believed that if many local warlords in the country did not obey Chairman Jiang, it would indeed be difficult to get military salaries and supplies from the central government, and most of them paid out of their own pockets to support the army, Yang Shuming did not specifically raise the army, but he knew that the navy cost more money than the army, and hundreds of thousands of troops were raised, and it seemed understandable that Su Dao threatened to raise more than 10 warships.
In his opinion, since he dares to buy it, he will definitely raise it, but if he finds out that Su Dao is sloppy in the maintenance of shells or warships, maybe he will consider retreating with people. He promised Su Dao to go out of the mountain, but not to form an empty shelf navy, although Yang Shuming is physically disabled, and he has to be supported by crutches when he walks, but his brain is still very bright, and the navy is not the army, and when the war starts, he will only sit in the flagship to command the fleet, and he will not have to run back and forth, so whether a naval commander's physical defects are not as serious as the army.
Since he had agreed to cooperate, Su Dao also struck while the iron was hot and sat down directly on the kang, and told Yang Shuming in detail about his naval blueprint, during which Yang Shuming couldn't help but grow his mouth, and even looked at Su Dao in surprise, a little can't believe that this will be true, and he is not even sure if he really understands Su Dao's words.
This is really scary, except for those old powers in the world, it is estimated that no one dares to make such a promise, and no one dares to do so, even if he wants to develop the navy according to Su Dao's plan, it is estimated that the whole country will have to tighten their belts and go desperately. Within two months, 10 warships, at least three or more warships will be put into service every month, and a naval formation consisting of two aircraft carriers will be formed within a year.
So much so that in the end, Yang Shuming looked at Su Dao with a demon in his eyes, he didn't believe that Su Dao had this strength at all, and the four major families were rich, right? This is recognized, but even if all the family assets of the four major families are added together, they do not dare to develop the navy like Su Dao.
However, in the end, Su Dao persuaded Yang Shuming and promised to take Yang Shuming to Jinxi to have a look first, and then make a decision, after all, it was the location of the military headquarters of the 99th Army, and if nothing happened in the future, Yang Shuming would also go there to work.
In this way, the two basically talked about the navy all night, and the next morning, the two rushed back to Jinxi directly in the B24 Liberator bomber, looking at Huaxia also has such powerful bombers and fighters, Yang Shuming couldn't help but shed tears, if they could have these equipment back then, would Xiao Yueben still dare to invade Huaxia?
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, the battle on the ground has basically come to an end, the 767th Division and the 768th Division are progressing rapidly, and the Kwantung Army in the mission area issued before the war has been basically cleared in a month's time, the 768th Division is carrying out the final siege of Fengning, and the first brigade of the 767th Division is increasing the offensive on the enclosure. However, no matter what point he passed, he could not smoothly return to Shinkyo or within the command range of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
The 2nd Brigade of the 767th Division made a final effort against Chifeng and Jianping, and so far, both sides have invested nearly 400,000 troops in this battle, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the 99th Army of the Sixth Theater headed by Su Dao won the battle and successfully recovered most of the cities in Rehe Province and part of Jinxi Province.
Jinzhou as an ancient city, the Kwantung Army has not worked hard here, Jinzhou, which has the support of the railway, is much better than other places in terms of economy, plus the Kwantung Army has built a lot of permanent fortifications here, and many of the soldiers of the 766th Division are recruits, so it took a month, and now the 766th Division has not been able to attack Jinzhou City.
Of course, this is not to say that the combat effectiveness of the 766th Division is not good, but the Kwantung Army has gathered five divisions and more than 100,000 troops here to defend Jinzhou, while the number of troops of the 766th Division is less than half of that of the other side, and there have been several times when the 766th Division has almost been surrounded by the Kwantung Army, and finally sent the air force and armored forces to forcibly break through the encirclement of the Kwantung Army.
The Kwantung Army in Jinzhou City was also uncomfortable, after this battle, the five divisions basically lost about 20 percent of their troops, compared with the 766th Division on the attacking side, it was not in a hurry, there was a steady and steady trend, neither strong attack, nor rushing, at the beginning it was just blindly artillery bombardment of the air force, after the bombardment, the artillery bombardment, not at all infantry rushed up. After about half a month of bombardment, the infantry gradually began to show their heads, but even then they did not force an attack, but tried to preserve the strength of the troops as much as possible.
In a month, the Kwantung Army probably lost more than 20,000 combat strength, while the 99th Army only lost less than 5,000 people, and a large part of them were slightly wounded.
Three or four snows have fallen in a month, except for the first snow at the beginning, the next few are relatively smaller, but Rao is so also brought a lot of trouble to the 99th Army, if there is no snow, it is estimated that this battle would have ended long ago, it can be said without hesitation, because of the heavy snow, the 99th Army has been delayed for at least a week, many trucks can not move, even if the tank is marching, you have to be careful, you have to send someone to check it out when you see a pit in front of you, Avoid being careless in the nest.
Jinxi, inside the military headquarters.
After a month, Yang Shuming has basically made contact with his old subordinates, and the navy who lost their warships can only return to land as infantrymen, but they are still wearing naval uniforms, which are often called naval forces on land by later generations. At the invitation of Yang Shuming, and after promising to have a warship after coming, many naval officers chose to come to the Northeast without the slightest doubt.
Anyway, they are the same wherever they resist the war, and they can go back to their old jobs when they come to the Northeast, why not? However, unfortunately, Yang Shuming finally failed to make the three warships full, through a month of hard work, plus let his old subordinates win over some of the previous naval colleagues, Rao is so they also tightly only identified more than 500 people, no way, the navy side, especially after going ashore this year, the casualties are particularly large, basically in name only, it is already good to have more than 500 people.
"Three guns, how do you feel?" After a month of experiments, Su Dao finally took the initiative to inquire about the battle ahead when Liu Sanpao came to the military headquarters for the third time to report the battle situation, and seemed to be not concerned at all about the 766th Division, with the strong support of the armored brigade and the air force, which had not taken Jinzhou for a month.
"It doesn't feel good, the troops are still a little weak, with the help of the armored brigade and the air force, we basically didn't fight any hard battles with the other side, but we still lost more than 4,000 people, if this is put on the defense, the armored brigade will run out of fuel in a month, and it is estimated that the situation will not be optimistic." Liu Sanpao frowned and returned, before the war, Su Dao specially ordered Liu Sanpao not to be in a hurry when attacking Jinzhou, take his time, first, so that the air force and armored brigade can have more opportunities to exercise, and second, Su Dao also wanted to know what stage he was in now, so that he could correctly arrange the next battle plan.
Now it has entered January 39, which means that there will be eight months before the full battle, and the European side will begin, and the current strength of the troops is still very different from Su Dao's expectations, and he needs to determine when he can enter the battle through a real battle.
And subconsciously, Su Dao also regarded the real Germany that he had never been to as an alliance, and the mustache might not listen to his words, and through Woodel's message, Su Dao gradually learned that the family's control over the mustache seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and it would basically get out of control after a while. So Su Dao couldn't wait to quickly give himself an accurate positioning.
However, after hearing Liu Sanpao's words, Su Dao instantly felt that his head was big, don't think about it, everyone must know Su Dao's purpose for doing this, he is testing the possible surname of fighting the Soviets, and by the way, let the troops adapt to that bad environment first. Fighting the Soviets in winter, there will certainly be no major offensive, mainly defensive, the cities they have occupied cannot be easily ceded, if they can't hold on, it will be a tragedy, he doesn't want to let the experience of Napoleon and the mustache repeat itself in him.
Historically, when the mustache attacked the Soviet Union in the early days, he invested about five million infantry, thousands of fighters, and thousands of armored vehicles.
"Order the troops to stop, rest for a day, and start attacking early the day after tomorrow!" After a long time, Su Dao seemed to have figured out something, and ordered directly at Liu Sanpao.
I'm only so strong now, so why are you worried? Even if it is all over, it may not be able to attract the attention of the Soviet Union, and his first task now is to eliminate the Kwantung Army, drive all the Chinese troops out of China, and then unify the military forces of China as much as possible, and wait until then Su Dao must not have at least three or four million troops under him? I'm afraid of a bird, let's take it one step at a time. (To be continued.) )
