Chapter 436: Crossing the Yalu River
The war between China and Japan came relatively suddenly, after seeing the huge destructive power of the First World War, the countries of the world were generally more afraid of war, and they also guessed that there might be a conflict between China and Japan, but they did not expect it to come so quickly, so countries have declared strict neutrality, and also let their own people withdraw as much as possible.
Japan originally hoped to limit the conflict to the sea, so that it could defeat China's nascent fleet with a powerful navy, but China is not a fool, since Japan has chosen war, China cannot let the Japanese choose the way of war.
The Chinese Air Force stationed on the Sino-North Korean border took the lead in dispatching, and the Japanese military facilities along the Yalu River were bombed indiscriminately, and according to Japan's plan for North Korea, the industry was mainly concentrated in the northern part of the DPRK, which is extremely rich in resources and is just suitable for opening mines and factories, and these areas are also the closest to the Sino-North Korean border.
After the official declaration of war after the start of the war, the Chinese Air Force crossed the Yalu River and bombed the territory of Korea, of course, Japan has been operating in Korea for many years, and all kinds of fortifications have been extremely perfect, especially Japan also knows that the Chinese Air Force is huge, so they have also made full preparations, and are also equipped with a large number of aircraft, as well as ground anti-aircraft firepower.
Now the Chinese Air Force has launched an attack, the Japanese side is not weak, the Japanese aircraft into the air, the two air forces across the Yalu River for a crazy confrontation, the Chinese Air Force has been as China's most important military development, huge investment, at the same time China also has a world-class design team, especially after the First World War, China got the aluminum alloy technology from Germany, but also solved the problem of the short board of the engine.
Now China's aero engines are no longer lagging behind in performance than foreign countries, and the only problem is that the service life is one-third lower, which is a serious defect in peacetime, but when it comes to the time when the two big countries are desperate, it is not a problem. Because it is difficult for a pilot who has just entered the battlefield to survive for a hundred hours. Even the first battle will kill you.
Looking at World War I and World War II, pilots are definitely the highest mortality rate of the military, even pilots can not be guaranteed, let alone airplanes, it is a big deal to replace a few more, all countries have a large number of planes waiting for pilots, as long as they can shoot down the opponent, it is enough.
The Yalu River has become the busiest area, with planes being shot down from time to time. Or it turned into a big fireball in the air, and in just two days of fighting, more than 50 Japanese planes were shot down, and all of them were bombed by the Chinese side in Sinuiju and other places, while few Japanese planes were able to break through the Chinese air defense system and bomb Chinese cities.
The purpose of China and Japan's active struggle for air supremacy is to prepare for the next offensive operation. Both countries are stepping up the deployment of troops and generals in an effort to spread the flames of war to each other's territory, and neither is willing to passively defend, and Japan has wanted Korea to urgently send three more divisions to Korea long before it officially declares war.
It was the expansion of Japan along the Yalu River to seven divisions, plus the total number of other troops exceeded 150,000, and the total number of Japanese troops exceeded 200,000 with the addition of Korea's servant army. And Japan is also inspired by China. Equipped with an armored division, at this time the Japanese were also in a time when their morale was inflated.
In Qingdao, the Japanese army and navy lost face when facing the Chinese army. Now they are all holding back their strength to find a place back, and the same is true for the Chinese side, Shi Yi personally commanded the Second Army to make the final preparations for war, and now China has also accumulated a lot of money.
In the direction of the Yalu River, China has concentrated two tank divisions, seven infantry divisions, and two motorized infantry brigades, with a total strength of more than 150,000 troops, and more than 200 aircraft, in addition to about 200,000 reserve troops in the Chinese rear, which can replenish the losses on the front line at any time.
Since the beginning of the formal development of Northeast China, the Chinese side has paid great attention to the issue of public security, after all, there are many bandits in the northeast region, and in addition, too many people have poured in from other provinces at once, and it is inevitable that all kinds of contradictions will arise.
In peacetime, he shoulders the task of patrolling and protecting, and in wartime, he becomes the last reserve soldier, and it is with a strong foundation that Qiao Yu is not in a hurry about the war on land, and now the most noteworthy thing is the aspect of the navy, if the navy cannot win, China will not be able to really shake the foundation of Japan, and even fall into the blockade of the island country, which is also very unfavorable to China.
Just when Qiao Yu was planning the overall situation, Wang Yongjiang and Wei Ruolan came to find them.
"President, I have already arranged for the matter of paying attention to the Jews that you explained earlier, but now that war has broken out, the Jews and the forces they control have taken the opportunity to sing the praises of China and withdraw a large amount of their capital in China into silver!"
These Jews are really good at making war money, and at this time it is a good opportunity to withdraw capital from China, all capital in addition to pursuing interests, but also to pursue security, if a country is constantly in war, it will be more dangerous to put money here, so withdrawing from China has become a good choice.
In fact, not only foreign capital, but also domestic capital, it is the nature of all people to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is also the nature of capital, and the best choice to withdraw from China at this time is to invest in the United States, which is not only safe, but also when the stock market is soaring, as long as you invest in it, you can get a lot of profits.
The outbreak of war between China and Japan actually objectively helped the Jews, speeding up the speed at which they shipped silver, of course, the Jews would not come forward directly, what they were best at was to choose an agent, and the Song family and the Confucian family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang became the best choice, and the people of these two families used their identities to spread unfavorable remarks against the Chinese government from time to time, as if they were sure that China would be defeated.
However, they can't change their identity yet, after all, they are still a Chinese, if they directly say that China will lose, isn't that equivalent to being a traitor, a person who even dares to sell his own country, there is no final moral bottom line, who dares to do business with such people.
So these people invented a nice slogan called rational patriotism!
I also want to be patriotic, but what I have to pay attention to is rational patriotism, what strength China has, what strength Japan has, especially the navy, the two sides are even more heavenly. One on the ground. In the event of a war, the most prosperous coastal areas will be reduced to ruins and rubble, even if they border Korea and the Far East on land!
Korea is already firmly controlled by Japan, and there is no way to easily defeat it, and the Far East is now at its coldest time, and it is impossible to fight at all. Moreover, these areas are all colonies of Japan, and even if they are dilapidated, there is nothing to worry about, and China, the essence of Japan, will never be able to reach it.
What war do you want to win without a navy! Of course, some people will say that they sank the Furutaka, but what is the use of that, Japan has more powerful warships, tens of thousands of sea giants. China only has a few European obsolete rags, how can it fight with others.
Although we are also patriotic, we are rational, and reason tells us that China will be defeated and Japan will win, and we simply do not have the strength to break the naval blockade, and the best choice now is to withdraw all our capital and invest it all in the United States. It's safest there.
Once wait until China is beaten to rubble. You can still use this money to rebuild China, this is also called a curve to save the country!
The so-called rational patriotism and curvilinear salvation turned out to be one thing. Qiao Yu took a look at the truth draft of the remarks of the Kong and Song families collected by the intelligence department, and after reading it, a wave of anger rushed straight to the top beam.
Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang next to him is also full of anger, Wang Yongjiang has a different opinion on financial management and governing the country, but he still pursues Confucian values in his head, and pays attention to sacrificing his life for righteousness and killing himself to become benevolent.
Now that the motherland and the enemy country are at war, making such remarks and openly allowing these capitals to flee to the United States is not disrupting the country's financial order, and it is a serious crime in peacetime, not to mention in wartime, these people are simply crazy!
"Prime Minister, do these people's words have any effect?"
"President, it is true that many people have been moved by what they say, and now the speed of capital and silver outflow is very alarming, since the declaration of war, more than 200 million dollars of capital has been withdrawn, and the stock market is also very sluggish!"
Qiao Yu's fists clenched tightly, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, China has never lacked this traitor, they have slogans of renovation, and there are countless crooked theories, but no matter how they are packaged, these bastards who have forgotten their ancestors can smell their rotten stench no matter how far away.
Just like Xiaoqiang, it will never disappear, even in later generations, they have changed into a well-known skin, continue to worship the West, and continue to slander China, these people seem to be born masochists, slandering their ancestors, slandering their own culture, singing about the country's economy, attacking their own government, they have reached the level of doing everything, fabricating all kinds of facts but shamelessly saying that this is the truth, which can be described as full of ugliness.
If you want to really eliminate these beasts, I am afraid that there is only one way, and that is to let China return to the top of the world, rebuild the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and become the worthy leader of world civilization, until that moment these despicable things will no longer have room to survive!
Of course, it is still too far away from that day, but although Qiao Yu can't let this kind of person disappear, he can still do it by crushing a few flies and bugs.
"Prime Minister, immediately ask the Ministry of Public Security to arrest all these people, deal with them severely for conspiracy and treason, and strengthen financial control to avoid the outflow of silver, and wait until we win the war, and then settle accounts with these financial consortia!"
Wang Yongjiang nodded in agreement and went to make arrangements, and at this time, the Chinese army on the Yalu River was already ready, and after several days of fighting, a total of more than 140 Japanese planes were shot down, and more importantly, nearly 100 Japanese pilots were killed, making Japan's weak air force even more stretched.
The time was ripe for the Chinese side to attack, Shi Yi personally sat in Tonghua to command, the Chinese troops along the Yalu River were in full array, and the attack order was given, and suddenly 10,000 artillery pieces were fired in unison, and the fierce shells were frantically inclined to the Japanese positions on the other side of the river, and the Japanese side was not to be outdone, and fiercely returned fire to China, and the battle became more and more intense, but because the Chinese side firmly controlled the air supremacy, with the vigorous cooperation of the air force, the Chinese formation suppressed the Japanese artillery bombardment.
China had long prepared materials for building a bridge, and soon a pontoon bridge appeared on the river, and the Chinese troops rushed towards the land of North Korea on the opposite side! (To be continued.) )
