Chapter 1121: Attack on Japan Strategy
"The U.S. offensive on Wake Island lasted three days, but it was not the same as the usual battle. They didn't take prisoners this time, and all the Japanese troops of a division on the island were killed......"
Su Zongzhe took the briefing sent by the US military to the Wehrmacht and said to everyone in the conference room: "In this battle, the US army killed more than 14,800 people of the Japanese Wake Island garrison at the cost of more than 2,600 killed and more than 3,800 wounded......
"And according to our information, the Japanese army has strengthened its garrison on Guam. At the same time, five additional divisions were sent to Guam, Iwo Jima, and other areas. and carried twelve shore defense guns of caliber or more than 200mm......"
After a pause, Su Zongzhe closed the folder and said to everyone present: "According to our inside information, there is an extreme panic in Japan that Wake Island was breached after only three days. ”
"Originally, the Japanese army and navy were at a stalemate over whether to send a fleet to support them, but now there is no such debate. It is reported that after learning that Wake Island was occupied by the US military, Hirohito personally summoned the commander-in-chief of the army and navy. Forcing the naval fleet to have 10 million Iwo Jima as a support......"
Subsequently, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Koga Mineichi, urgently summoned officers of all levels of the fleet to return to the building. By this time, they should have set anchor for Iwo Jima......"
Hearing the news, everyone laughed in unison. Japan's Combined Fleet, the greatest threat to the Wehrmacht Navy. Previously, it was by relying on radar technology and stealth, and by using their energy to assist in the landing operation, that the Japanese Combined Fleet was caught off guard.
But if it was a real fight, no one in the Wehrmacht could be sure that the Japanese Combined Fleet would be able to take it down. Playing the gong in front of the drum in front of the face. Even Shen Honglie had to admit that his fleet could only flee from the wind.
In a frontal battle, the Wehrmacht's fleet was not able to compete with the Japanese Navy for the time being. Even with a few warships leased by the British, the Wehrmacht was temporarily unable to fight on a par with the Japanese Navy.
"Tell Uncle Cheng Zhang about this situation. Let him prepare for the landing operation against Joan! Tu Menghu smiled, stood up and said, "I should also go to North Korea, the troops have been assembled." Just wait for me to pass! ”
When everyone heard this, they all slowly stood up. Lin Sen walked to Tu Menghu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Commander, the old man is here to show you your home, and I hope that our national defense force will be victorious in this battle!" Triumphant! ”
"May our Defence Force be victorious. Triumphant!! The rest of the people all said solemnly in front of Tu Menghu. Tu Mengben looked at the high-ranking members of the coalition government and the national defense force whose hair was gradually turning gray, and slowly gave a military salute.
"The battle. It will be a battle for us to determine China's status as a great power. In this battle, Meng Ben had to be cautious. This has a bearing on the national fortunes of the Chinese nation for decades or even hundreds of years, and this war has been decided. Then future generations will not have to worry about the Pacific Ocean for decades......"
Tu Menghu looked at everyone and said slowly: "For my country and nation." Meng Ben should do his best! Fight your way to the enemy! ”
And at this time. A large number of IDF units have gathered in the Korean region. The elite of the Northeast Military Region and the Korean Theater were all brought together, and all units of the Republic of Korea National Defense Force were transferred to the front.
Jin Jiu breathed white air and waited at the airport for the arrival of the plane. He personally arrived at the airport with all the current high-ranking officials of the Republic of Korea, the new commander of the Korean Theater of Defense Forces, Lee Han-hun, and the chief of staff of the Korean Theater of the National Defense Forces, Guo Pengyun.
Airports throughout North Korea are surrounded by Wehrmacht soldiers, and crows and mountain dogs that have already arrived are lurking everywhere, alert for possible crises.
North Korea, unlike the rest of the country, is on the verge of a war zone. The Japanese army used to occupy this place, so they still have a lot of nails and hidden stakes. Crows and mountain dogs need to be extra careful.
In case those dark piles jumped over the wall in a hurry and assassinated Tu Mengben.
Although before Tu Mengben decided to come to North Korea, there had been more than five full-scale purges here. More than 3,000 people were arrested and interrogated. These people have almost all been purged.
But there is no guarantee that nothing will slip through the net, after all, Japan has colonized the area for decades. There must be quite a few of the various hand tails left behind.
"Pengyun. After this battle, we will probably be able to rest for a while......" Li Hansoul's expression was a little complicated, looking a little expectant but a little lonely.
Turning around, he Li Hansoul still caught up with the battle against Japan to destroy the country. This was extremely exciting, but at the same time, it was probably the last time he would be on the battlefield.
The stakes in this war were so great that they were even more intense than the First World War. Everyone can foresee a long period of peace in the world after this war.
At least between the great powers, it is difficult to see such crazy battles again. That is, as a serviceman of the Chinese Defense Forces. Especially at their level, it is difficult to have the opportunity to set foot on the battlefield again.
"Commander, as soldiers, we have the opportunity to participate in the battle of the rise of the country in this life, to be able to personally participate in the battle to resist foreign enemies, and to watch the rise of the country step by step, it is already a blessing for three lives. What more can we force on?! ”
Guo Pengyun is very calm, and his calmness is also the reason why he was able to assume the position of chief of staff of the Korean Theater. Guo Pengyun had been serving as the commander of the 13th Division of the Second Army.
Even Su Haoxuan, who is younger than him and has younger qualifications than him, has been in the same position with him for a few years. He remained calm. Of all his old comrades-in-arms, he had a relatively low rank at that time.
It is his stability that is valued by Tu Menghu. After cooling down for a few years, Tu Menghu found that Guo Pengyun was still so indifferent. So he began to train him.
He was first transferred to the Higher Command Department of the National Defense University, and then to the General Staff. After receiving the teachings of Tu Mengben and Su Zongzhe, he was put into the Korean theater, which is also the most dangerous and the most delicate situation of the Wehrmacht, as chief of staff.
Li Hansoul is too, if it weren't for them being stable enough, Meng Ben would not consider letting them take over the position in the Korean theater. This is related to the Wehrmacht's war of annihilation against Japan, and this campaign needs to be carried out with great caution.
At this time. It is necessary to have someone who is stable enough to act as the forward commander. It's a surprise, but it's a last resort. On the real battlefield, the larger the military operation, the more stable it is often needed.
The torrent of steel crushes everything. Shrapnel with flames tore through positions and soldiers' bodies. In the end, victory through fierce battles is often the whole story of a major war.
"Buzzing ......" At this time, the roar of the plane was already heard. Everyone looked up, and they could see a large Kunpeng transport plane flying towards the airport from a distance.
On the left and right sides of the transport plane, there were more than a dozen fighters escorting in formation. The only person who can be so cautious, undoubtedly, is the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.
Jin Jiu was very excited, he had already received news from Li Hansoul before. The Wehrmacht was about to launch an all-out war against Japan. An extremely important part of the war was to help North Korea take back the entire peninsula.
Kim-Koo's cooperation, and the purge of disobedient people in recent years, have convinced a special department of the General Staff that North Korea is within the control of the coalition government.
Therefore, after full communication with the Wehrmacht, it was decided to return all the other territories to Kim Koo after seizing the remaining half of Korea.
Of course. Some of the bases still have to be handed over to the Wehrmacht. And North Korea will pay for all the costs of the National Defense Forces in Korea, and their own troops will gradually be transformed into police or construction forces after the war.
The reduction of the DPRK's local armed forces is a consensus reached by the coalition government and the National Defense Forces. Now that they have been included in the right to protect, what is the point of their troop existence?!
Of course. The symbolic Golden Nine they will still have a part of the troops. This part of the troops. From training to command, it will basically be handed over to the IDF troops in North Korea.
The "Buzz ......" plane finally landed slowly, and it was not Tu Menghu who came down first. It's a group of extremely vigilant men. They quickly checked their surroundings when they got out of the plane, and then made a gesture to the door of the plane.
At this time, Jin Jiu and others, who came by car to greet Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, saw Tu Mengben slowly walking down from the plane.
At this time, Tu Mengben had faded away from the youth of the year, and the perennial battlefield battles and long-term residence in the top position naturally made him develop a bearing.
But what has hardly changed is his military uniform without rank. And that unmarked military hat. He pursed his lips and slowly stepped off the plane.
It wasn't until he walked in front of Jin Jiu that he stretched out his hand and smiled, "We haven't seen each other for a long time." Mr. Kim. ”
"Yes! Commander, it's been several years. Jin Jiu excitedly shook Tu Mengben's hand. Said: "I have always wanted to visit you and Chairman Lin Sen in the imperial capital, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to make the trip......
"I know that the situation in North Korea is complicated. You'll need to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations here, and you really can't be separated. We all understand that. Tu Menghu smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, we will have a chance to meet after the war." I believe that day is not long in coming. ”
"Yes! After the war, I must go to the imperial capital to see. I also want to go with my comrades-in-arms to see the places where we once struggled! ”
Jin Jiu was very excited, since Tu Mengben said that he would have the opportunity to meet after the war and said that this day would not be long. Then that is, the war will soon be over. The thought of North Korea, which had been colonized for decades, would complete the reunification of Jin Jiu in his own hands, trembled with excitement.
Tu Mengben smiled, and then shook hands with several leaders of the Republic of Korea present one by one under Jin Jiu's introduction. After everyone greeted each other for a while, Tu Mengben said with a smile.
"Well, thank you for waiting for me in the cold wind. It's hard work, let's go back to the headquarters first! ”
Li Hansoul and Guo Pengyun didn't know Tu Mengben for the first day, they knew that Tu Mengben would not go to any hotel to stay in and do anything to enjoy. All he wanted was a camp bed, a file cabinet large enough, and a desk. And, of course, there are also zoomed-in maps and sandboxes.
If he stays, the only thing he likes is in the army. Therefore, Li Hansoul opened his office with the one next door, opened the door and gave it to Tu Mengben.
And Tu Mengben did not share the car with Jin Jiu, but went in the same car with Li Hansoul and Guo Pengyun.
"Why is that Syngman Rhee still there?! As a major threat, I've already cleared him out. Tu Mengben noticed the high-level government of the Republic of Korea led by Kim Jiu. There is even the existence of Syngman Rhee.
For this Syngman Rhee, Tu Mengben will not have any good feelings. Although this person was smiling humbly at him just now, Tu Mengben still didn't think that this was a good person.
This is a man who will do anything for the sake of power. At the same time, he is also extremely hostile to China. Tu Mengben didn't want this person to exist in Jin Jiu's regime.
In fact, in the early days of the Korean independence organization, there was a great deal of dissatisfaction with China. The members of the independent association they had established at that time had always written articles that had always contemptuously referred to China as "China" and regarded it as a semi-civilized country, and they were determined to sever relations with China.
Of course, they did not dare to let go of Japan and Russia, which were constantly plundering the sovereign territory of North Korea at that time.
And Syngman Rhee is one of these people. Even, he was one of the leaders of this independent association. Syngman Rhee's brilliant record. For example, the Ying'en Gate, which was once specially built to welcome China's "angels" in North Korea, was rebuilt into an "independence gate" that symbolized the independence of North Korea.
The Muhua Pavilion, a post house near Ying'en Gate, was also rebuilt into an "Independent Hall".
"The peninsula. From Mt. Baekdu to Mt. Halla, from the Yalu River to the Nakdong River, the so-called great shame of thousands of years has been washed away. At that time, everyone wanted to compete with the independent gate. Everyone wants to compete with the Independence Pavilion for its breadth. This is the description of the situation of the North Koreans at that time after they demolished the Yeongun Gate and the Muhwa Pavilion.
There are only about small countries and widows. will have this eccentric mentality. And Jin Jiu also knew about this situation, and his first order after seizing power was to rebuild the Ying'en Gate and build the Muhua Pavilion.
Ironically, it was Syngman Rhee, who actively demolished the two buildings, who supervised the work. Moreover, this is what he asked for on his own initiative. He did so very simply, hoping to make a good impression on the bigwigs of the Wehrmacht and the coalition government.
As everyone knows, his name has already been blacklisted by the coalition government. Even if Jin Jiu has any situation, he will definitely not have a chance to get into position.
"Commander-in-Chief. It's not that we don't want to clean him up. It's that this kid is very cunning, and he and Jin Jiu have been friends in their early years. and after entering the government. We couldn't find an excuse to be honest......"
Li Hansoul smiled bitterly and handed over a few documents to Tu Mengben, and said, "These are the documents left by my predecessors, and I have been preparing to start several times." But Jin Jiu stood up to protect him, so he survived until now......"
Tu Mengben frowned, he never thought it was a good thing for this Syngman Rhee. In later life, he couldn't be a dog, and he almost asked the Americans to kill him.
In 1953, he directly put aside his master, the United States, and declared that he was going to wage a "Korean reunification war". This made his master, the United States, angry.
At that time, the United States was completely caught off guard by this situation, and the United States had no idea of fighting this war at all. In order to deal with this crisis, Eisenhower, then President of the United States, said directly at the emergency convening of the 150th National Security Council meeting.
"The only way to put an end to the danger quickly is mutiny" and "this course of action is worth considering". He also demanded that "the situation be explained immediately to those in South Korea who are capable of doing this." ”
It can be seen how angry the Americans were at that time, and if it weren't for Syngman Rhee's immediate admission and instigation, he would not have ended up much better than the later Vietnamese President Ngo Yen Dinh.
This man is so happy and will do anything for the sake of power. Jang Deok-so, who once fought with him, was assassinated because he threatened his position. And Jin Jiu was later assassinated, and a lot of evidence also points to Syngman Rhee. In the 1960 South Korean election, he committed fraud for the presidency.
After the boycott, he directed the attack on the protesters while also having the troops carry out the order to shoot. This led to a unanimous vote in the National Assembly for Rhee's resignation. In desperation, he resigned and fled to Hawaii on a plane.
"I can't find a chance now, so I'm slowing down for the time being. After all, you are not good at handling this kind of thing, I will find someone to deal with it......" Tu Mengben smiled and did not continue the topic.
Syngman Rhee is a person with ambitions, as long as his ambition exists, then he is exposing himself. At this time, you only need to release some bait, which looks sweet.
Then, this Jin Jiu's friend will reveal his true nature. When his nature is exposed, it is when he is destroyed. Tu Mengben is not in a hurry, this is just a clown jumping off the beam.
"How's the troop preparing?! Is the adaptive training for the landing completed?! Tu Mengben opened the document and glanced at it a few times, and asked Li Hansoul.
"It's all done, we've done a couple of drills. It's all good! Li Hansoul nodded and said, "Now we are just waiting for your order!" ”
Tu Mengben smiled slightly and said, "Now is not the time. Wait, let Uncle Cheng Zhang start it first. After he knocks down Qiongdao, the Japanese will definitely make a move......"
When Tu Mengben said this, Li Hansoul couldn't help but show a smile. For the battle plan drawn up by Su Zongzhe and them, Li Hansoul felt extremely admired.
First of all, a large number of troops were gathered in Korea, so that the Japanese thought that the Wehrmacht would attack from Korea and thus attract the attention of the Japanese to Korea.
Then, Shen Honglie's navy launched a landing operation on Qiongdao. After the completion of the battle, the navy immediately went to the Minjiang area with great fanfare and threatened Yizhou. The Japanese were caught off guard by this attack, and when they reflected it, the first thing to be guarded was Yizhou outside the Minjiang River.
After all, once the landing operation is successfully tested, and the Wehrmacht Navy goes to Yizhou with great fanfare, then it is likely that Yizhou will be attacked next.
At this time, after arriving in Yiju, the Wehrmacht Navy immediately sneaked to Korea to assist the Wehrmacht in launching a landing operation in Korea against the Japanese-occupied peninsula area!
In this way, the fortifications that the Japanese painstakingly built on the 38th parallel were in vain. At the same time, these lines will be deresupplied and encircled. In turn, the Wehrmacht directly threatened the Japanese mainland! (To be continued......)
