Xiao Zhenlei looked at Cai Yi, just now he and Jiang Fangzhen had something to say at the same time, Jiang Fangzhen had already expressed his opinion, and now it was Cai Yi's turn, so he said to Cai Yi: "Brother Songpo, what do you think?" ”

Cai Yi said: "I think we should first find a way to solve the Japanese naval fleet, if we do not solve the Japanese naval fleet, when we attack Liaodong, Korea and the Far East of Tsarist Russia, the Japanese side can transport troops to confront us, and finally engage in refueling tactics and a war of attrition, in this way, the land war will definitely be protracted, if it is fought in the situation of Europe, with our current national strength will not be able to support it, and then the people of the whole country will have to tighten their belts to live. I thought it would be best to deal with Japan with a quick victory! ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded when he heard this, I have to say that Cai Yi's opinion is still very good, after all, the new government has only been established for two years, and the national strength is still very weak, and it cannot support a long-term large-scale operation, which will form a huge burden on production and finance, and it would be best if Japan could be solved quickly.

He looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Cai Guodong said at this time: "Several generals have said their opinions just now, I think it is very good, but it is obvious that it is most beneficial for us to solve the Japanese naval fleet first, if the Japanese naval fleet is solved first, then the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula and the Far East of Tsarist Russia will lose support, without support, the Japanese army will not be able to support in these areas for long, even if we surround { without fighting, they may also collapse by themselves, so say, the first to solve the Japanese naval fleet, And then it is the best battle plan to deal with the Japanese army in the above areas! ”

Zhang Xiaohuai said: "The key is that the Japanese naval fleet is not a piece of paper, nor does it mean that solving it can be solved immediately. With the current strength of our navy, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Japanese navy, after all, the Japanese navy has been developing in the past 20 years. Our country knows that it has only been re-purchased in the last two years, and the gap between them is too great! ”

"In other words, how to solve the Japanese fleet is the key!" "I think our Air Force can make a difference in this regard!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei raised his hand and said, "Ma Hanlong." Tell us about the situation of your Air Force, how many planes are there, how many pilots are there, and what is the performance of various types of aircraft? ”

"Yes!" Ma Hanlong agreed: "In the European theater, the German army and Britain and France have used airships and airplanes to fight, airship combat is what we have known for a long time, airships are undoubtedly much stronger than airplanes in terms of load, so it can carry a large number of aerial bombs to bomb enemy ground targets, but airships have fatal and unchangeable shortcomings, that is, the speed is too slow, the flexibility is too poor!" Once you encounter a fighter, it is an ironclad fate to be shot down. So in the case of the development of aircraft to the point where they can be used in combat. Airships were eliminated, and now there are the most German airship troops.

In terms of aircraft, aircraft were used in the last German attack on southwestern France, and then the British and French also used aircraft to confront German aircraft. Nowadays, the performance of other countries' aircraft is not yet comparable with our country, and now the speed of aircraft in various countries is generally 120 kilometers per hour, which is only equivalent to the speed of China's first-generation fighters, the combat radius is too small, and it is not possible to conduct long-distance operations in the range, and British fighters are not yet able to fly knives from London to fight in Berlin. German fighters are also unable to fly from Berlin to London to fight, and now our fighters have reached a speed of 340 kilometers per hour, which is already the third generation, in terms of range. The K3 large bomber developed by China has a normal range of 1,900 kilometers, and the most extreme range has reached 2,860 kilometers, with a maximum bomb load of four tons. According to this range, if the bomber takes off from Shanghai. If the bombers reduce the number of bombs and carry additional fuel, then most of Japan will be attacked by our K3 large bombers. After the bombardment, there is enough fuel to return, and we can destroy all the ships, shipyards and repair ports they have moored at the naval base with bombers and torpedo machines."

After Ma Hanlong's words came out, the other generals were extremely shocked, why is the current plane so powerful? Was the speed of the aircraft more than a hundred kilometers per hour in previous years? Why is it that only a few years have passed, and aircraft research has progressed so quickly? If this is the case, it will be much easier to deal with the Japanese Navy.

Sa Zhenbing also said at this time: "President, I think our navy can still make a difference, although the number of ships in our navy cannot be compared with Japan, but our naval aviation can completely make up for the lack of ships, and now our navy has used four 13,000-ton large cargo ships to convert into four seaplane carriers, each carrier can carry 35 carrier-based aircraft, all carrier-based aircraft use folding wings, and each mothership has 20 fighters, 10 bombers, and 5 torpedo planes. If four aircraft carriers act together and fight against the enemy in two echelons of 70 fighters each, I believe that the enemy will not defend against us from the sky in any case! ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and smiled: "Okay, I didn't expect that General Sa and all the generals have said to the point, and if you summarize your thoughts, they are very close to my thoughts." First of all, if the Japanese naval fleet is defeated, and the Japanese naval fleet is defeated, Japan will have no ability to go to sea and fight, and can only nest on small islands, and the Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula, and the Far East of Tsarist Russia will lose their support and supplies, and they will not be able to jump for long, so how can they defeat the Japanese naval fleet? Just now General Sa and General Ma have said their own methods, my thoughts are like this, since you can't win the Japanese naval fleet with the naval fleet, then use the air force to fight, now the air force of all countries is in its infancy, and the distance between them and our air force is still far away, the Japanese even have only some of the most primitive aircraft, their naval fleet only has a few planes flying on board, and each warship is not equipped with any air-discharging weapons, which is extremely advantageous for us to use the air force against their naval fleet, I'm afraid they didn't even think that planes could deal with fleets, right? ”

"I think so, since I want to do it, let's do a big one, blow up all the Japanese warships with combat effectiveness at once, if it is normal, it will be very difficult to blow up all the warships of the Japanese fleet. Because the Japanese fleet was not all together, but scattered in various military ports. Either it's cruising, but it's a different time. Japan is preparing to attack the interests of Australia and the United States, and I have asked Wang Yaqiao to send someone to investigate the departure time of the Japanese combined fleet escort and the assembly location of all fleets. ”

When Ma Hanlong and Sa Zhenbing heard this, their eyes lit up, and they asked eagerly, "President, what are we going to do?" ”

"Don't worry, listen to me one by one!" Xiao Zhenlei smiled and continued: "After figuring out the meeting place and departure time of the Japanese Combined Fleet. We carried out two steps: the first step, the Air Force's land-based bombers and torpedo planes flew to the Japanese Combined Fleet assembly site in three batches with ammunition, and each batch of combat aircraft was separated by half an hour, and the first batch of bombers and torpedo planes immediately launched an attack after discovering the Japanese fleet, and the bombers dropped aerial bombs on the Japanese fleet warships, aiming at killing and injuring a large number of Japanese sailors on ships, destroying naval guns and ship power, and the torpedo planes were responsible for dropping torpedoes on each battleship, The torpedo planes returned immediately after dropping their torpedoes, and the bombers had to drop their bombs within hours of the middle of the night. Inflicting as much damage as possible on the Japanese naval officers and ships of the Japanese fleet, and when the first group of combat aircraft had just left, the naval officers and men of the Japanese fleet began to pick up the pieces and arrived just in time to bomb the Japanese Combined Fleet again and drop torpedoes. It is also necessary to drop all the ammunition within half an hour, otherwise there will be no return to the airbase due to insufficient fuel, and the same is true for the third wave of combat aircraft! ”

"Wait until the third wave of aircraft is just withdrawn. And the fourth wave of fighters has arrived, where did this fourth wave of fighters come from? That's right. It was naval aviation, which dispatched all four seaplane carriers. The fighters on the four motherships were divided into two batches to attack the Japanese fleet, but it should be noted that because this is an attack on ships, the role of fighters is far less than that of bombers and torpedo planes, so when the fighter group is dispatched, the proportion of fighters cannot be too high, for example, there were twenty fighters on each mothership before, and this proportion is too high for the current sea surface operations, and the fighters of each mothership are reduced to ten, and the empty supplementary torpedo planes and bombers, torpedo planes should account for the majority, Sometimes a torpedo can sink a battleship, General Sa, remember that and replace it as soon as you get back! ”

Sa Zhenbing immediately said: "Understood, big president!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei continued: "The seaplane carrier operation must be escorted by other warships, this operation will bring all the warships of more than 2,000 tons that can go to sea and sail far, on the one hand, to escort the four seaplane carriers, on the other hand, to clean up the mess of the naval battle, and after the Japanese combined fleet is disabled, those Japanese ships that can be captured and brought back will be brought back, and if they do not surrender, they will be completely sunk, and no Japanese ship will be allowed to escape back!" ”

Several members of the Supreme Military Council did not know much about the development of the Air Force and Naval Aviation, because the development and manufacture of aircraft were extremely confidential matters, such as Xu Shaozhen, who was not very clear and asked: "President, has our aircraft developed to the point where it can completely defeat the Japanese fleet?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "It is no exaggeration to say that China's air force has been far ahead of all countries, and now the fighters of various countries are only the first generation, and our country is already the third generation, whether it is flight speed, or range, or firepower, all countries can't catch up, compared to the current Japanese fleet, our air force and naval aviation are very powerful, because their ships do not have any anti-aircraft firepower, that is, only we fight them, and they can't hit us!" As soon as they come together, they're dead, it's that simple! ”

Cai Ye was full of ambition when he heard this, and he was eager to try: "It seems that this time it really depends on the air force and naval aviation units!" It has been 20 years since the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, not only did the Western powers press on our heads and make us breathless, but later there was another Oriental man riding on our heads to and pee, if this time we can destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet in one fell swoop, then we will really be able to raise our eyebrows, and no country will dare to underestimate us again! ”

"yes!" Fan Zhiyong nodded and said: "I was just eighteen years old at the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was the time when my blood was strong, when I heard that the Beiyang Fleet was completely annihilated, I was about to give up the scientific expedition on the spot and prepare to put pen to paper, hehe, that breath has been held in my heart until now!" ”

"Alright, let's move on!" Xiao Zhenlei said again: "Just now we finished talking about solving the Japanese Combined Fleet first, what about when the Japanese Joint Fleet is solved?" I thought so, the naval fleet continued to act, shelling various ports along the coast of Japan, first attacking naval bases, military ports, shipyards and ship repair ports, again attacking civilian ports and docks, completely destroying Japan's means of communication with the outside world, and finally bombing Japan's military industrial factories! ”

"At the same time, of course, the army side cannot be idle, not only can not be idle, but also have to make a big move, first send troops to recover the Liaodong Peninsula and the South Manchurian Railway, and then continue to attack the Korean Peninsula, after seizing the Korean Peninsula, use the Korean Peninsula as an advance base to prepare for an attack on the Japanese mainland, of course, from the territory of our country can also directly attack the Japanese mainland, but if an air base is built at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, our Air Force land-based bombers and fighters can completely attack any location in Japan! I hope to fight Japan to surrender, if it does not surrender, it will directly destroy his country, this is not in a hurry, we have time! ”

"President, what about the Japanese army in the Far East of Tsarist Russia? Are we going to leave them alone? Will there be an opinion on the part of the Tsarist side? Ma Hanlong asked, this question was also wanted to be asked by several other people, but they didn't have time to ask it yet.

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and said: "As far as I know, many lands in the Far East of Tsarist Russia belonged to our country before the Qing Dynasty, including Siberia!" That huge land has unimaginable mineral resources and oil resources, which had no chance to be recovered before, but now that our generation has the opportunity and ability, of course we must take it back, otherwise we will be scolded by our children and grandchildren! If we help Tsarist Russia to take out the Japanese troops in the Far East now, how can we recover that huge land? If Tsarist Russia is defeated and surrendered, or withdraws from the war because of civil strife, will we have a chance to recover Siberia and the Far East? Because by that time we have taken it back from Japan, and because Tsarist Russia has surrendered or withdrawn from the war, of course we will not have to return the Far East and Siberia that we have taken from the Japanese! ”

I see! The other people sitting there didn't understand why Xiao Zhenlei didn't let those Japanese troops in the Far East not fight, and they dared to plan so. (To be continued......) R1292
