Chapter 404: Annihilation of the Japanese Army (2)

"Judging from this plan, my determination is very great, and of course it is also very cruel."

Zhang Shusheng knocked on the information on the table, in fact, several people here have already obtained the corresponding materials, and it is not the first time they have seen it, but when they put it on the table to discuss, they still feel that they are really crazy to a considerable extent.

Walking to the map, he personally picked up his baton and drew a virtual circle in the Far East Vanino region, and said, "My initial plan is to seize air supremacy at all costs and at least maintain air balance, but they actually do not hesitate to use poison gas bombs to create a separation belt, and use at least 300,000 to 400,000 Chinese troops as a blocking line behind the poison gas belt to block our pursuit."

I think you have also seen the details of this plan, and if this plan is really carried out, under the resistance of the poison gas barrier and hundreds of thousands of death squads, it is possible that most of the remaining 1.3 million people of the more than 1.7 million people will escape back to the ship at night. ”

The military and political officials present couldn't help frowning, once this situation occurred, no one could afford to let the boiled duck fly back to their roots.

In the past two months or so, the reason why the attack on this regiment of the Chinese army has not been smooth is that the Chinese army has been frantically defending, and under the condition of using a large number of poison gas bombs, the Chinese army has actually temporarily blocked the Chinese attack. In order to block the rapid advance of the Chinese armored forces, they even dug up huge anti-tank trenches in some places where they had to pass, and the mines were buried in the offensive path of the Chinese [***] team like no money, so it can be said that the Wehrmacht encountered relatively large resistance in the offensive in the previous two months.

Of course, if Zhang Shusheng ordered to annihilate the Yue army as quickly as possible at all costs, then Vanino might have taken it at this time, but such a price could be the result of very heavy losses.

Zhang Shusheng did not have any unconfidence in taking the Far East, so he did not rush to ask the troops to attack at any cost.

Now that something has gone wrong, the plan is naturally going to change.

"Chairman, it seems that our general offensive needs to be advanced. Moreover, at present, a sufficient number of engineering troops and mechanized mine-sweeping units have been gathered on the Far Eastern front, and some of the equipment for defense against poison gas has been urgently replenished, and the conditions for launching a general offensive are already in place. ”

Jiang Baili said unhurriedly. Moreover, at present, their only reliance is on the Americans, and for their retreat plan to succeed, in addition to relying on an unprecedented poison gas barrier and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops to block the attack, they will mainly benefit from the two major air forces of the US military and the soon-to-be-established US-Chinese Combined Fleet.

I believe that it is necessary to increase the intensity of the air battle, and when the general offensive is underway, the Navy and the United States Combined Fleet will complete a decisive battle at sea, so that we can ensure to the greatest extent that there will be no mistakes in the more than one million Japanese troops. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded, Jiang Baili's words made sense, and they coincided with his thoughts.

So, if we defeat their dependence and make Yueben a turtle without claws, which can only shrink on the island and cannot move, then after annihilating the Yue army in the Far East, will it be difficult to take Korea and attack Yueben from the coastal areas of Korea and the Far East as a springboard?

"The time is relatively short, Commander Fan of the Air Force and Commander Deng of the Navy are still in the field, so let's hold a military meeting of the base camp later tomorrow to discuss the issue of launching a more vigorous air battle and a decisive battle at sea against Yueben."

Zhang Shusheng made up his mind that the issue of Yueben could not be delayed for a long time, and that in order to attack Yueben, the Yueben army in the Far East, the fleet of Yueben and the United States, and the air force must be eliminated or weakened in advance.

Later the next day, Fan Siran and Deng Haoqian, who had rushed back to Hanjing by military plane from other places, rushed to Hanjing Mountain without stopping to attend an emergency military meeting at the base camp to discuss matters concerning the expansion of air operations and decisive battles at sea.

At the meeting, many high-ranking generals spoke one after another to discuss these two major issues in the current situation.

Air Force Commander Fan Siran preemptively said, "I support the expansion of the scale of air operations, and now the Air Force's units from the Siberian Theater, the Far East Theater, the Northeast Theater, and even several domestic theaters can be urgently transferred to the air, so as to form a new and great advantage over the United States and the United States Joint Air Force."

As for the decisive battle at sea, I think we can find a way to do it from the air.

Judging from the intelligence, although the US Navy does not dare to stay in the port for a long time to prevent being bombed by us, it must dock at a certain military port at a certain time, and the fleet must also be replenished.

I suggest that medium- and long-range bombers carry our latest anti-ship missiles and carry out targeted killings of the US Navy entering the port. Of course, Commander Deng, I am not robbing your navy of the credit, my opinion is well thought out, and the navy is also of great use in this plan. The US Navy will not obediently go to a certain port to replenish supplies, so your naval fleet will have the task of luring the enemy and use a fleet to attract the US Navy to a certain sea area, so that the bombing targets of the Air Force will be much smaller, and the intelligence will be more targeted at obtaining surnames. ”

"You go on." Zhang Shusheng suddenly felt that although the decisive battle at sea was a way of thinking, but when it was really implemented, Fan Siran's method was very good.

The current situation is that the US Navy does not dare to enter the port for a long time, and it is erratic on the sea east of Yueben, and when the planes that China bombs the Yueben fly to the port, they can often only blow up some inconsequential facilities and shipyards, but they are helpless against those fleets that are fighting guerrilla.

In addition to concentrating air force forces on the entire Pan-Eastern Front battlefield and overwhelming the air force of the US-Japanese alliance with absolute superiority, Fan Siran's idea is to use the long-range bombers and anti-ship missiles, which are unique to the Wehrmacht Air Force, to deal with those warships that come and go without a trace, but must go to the sea to replenish supplies.

Judging from the intelligence, every time he entered the port to resupply, it was fleeting, and it was often a detachment of a detachment that went to a certain military port to resupply in a group, and in a day or a night, it would leave the port and go to the sea east of Yueben, so that the planes that bombed Yueben would stare dryly.

In Fan Siran's next explanation, he continued to explain the so-called idea of luring the enemy.

Once a powerful fleet arrives in the waters east of the Chinese fleet, the land-based air force will inevitably dispatch a fleet to meet the Chinese fleet, which is outside the combat radius but has a powerful carrier-based aircraft formation. At this time, the assembled US fleet will at least gather in the waters east of the country, and there will be only a few ports to replenish, and once the opportunity is caught, countless bombers carrying anti-ship missiles will flock to the city to hit targets at fixed points.

Although Deng Haoqian was a little unhappy, he thought quietly for a long time, and then said, "I also agree with this plan in principle, but I think that our naval fleet also has a powerful carrier-based aircraft formation, and the decisive battle at sea is not so terrible, and our chances of winning are very great." In addition, once the Air Force is unable to destroy the main force of the US fleet, it is necessary to make a plan for our aircraft carrier fleet to clean up the scene. With a two-pronged approach, the chances of destroying the main force of the US fleet are even greater. ”

Later, Zhang Shusheng said, "I have listened carefully to everyone's speeches, and many of them have feasible surnames. Commander Fan's plan can be set up and planned, and the Air Force General Staff must come up with a new plan for troop mobilization within a week. As for the decisive battle at sea, it is a two-pronged approach, and I also agree with Commander Deng's view. After all, there is another point that you may not have noticed just now, once the US fleet finds out that something is wrong and escapes to the sea further east or north, it will be difficult for us to have another chance to destroy their main force in one fell swoop. Moreover, even if we do not escape, once the Chinese army is always under the protection of the land-based air force, in the end we must also use carrier-based aircraft formations to deal with them, or at least contain them, so that they cannot carry out the task of covering the retreat of the Far Eastern army. ”

If you can't beat it, others will also escape, and this is a point that Zhang Shusheng believes that all plans have not paid enough attention to, including containing the US Navy, which is not something that land-based long-range bomber units can do, and must rely on the Wehrmacht's powerful maritime aircraft carrier fleet.

Soon, the meeting went on to discuss a number of issues, including some basic troop sizes, and initial ideas for redeployment were discussed in general terms, followed by detailed plans to be made at the various staff headquarters.

…… After the meeting, Zhang Shusheng left General Xu Geng, commander of Unit 201 of the biological and chemical weapons unit.

"Chairman!"

"Sit down, take a break, drink some tea, and eat some fruit."

Coming to Zhang Shusheng's office, the two drank tea and rested for a while, chatting a few words, and then, Zhang Shusheng asked Mao Yun to go out first, and the two began to discuss formal topics.

"I left you here to talk to you about the Far Eastern battlefield. The devils want to build a poison gas isolation zone in the Far East and are ready to use as much as 1,800 tons of poison gas, which is an unprecedented challenge for us. At the beginning, the devils did not have a good heart, and transported so much poison gas to the Far East, and after joining the Allies, they even accelerated the operation of transporting poison gas. But once this gas barrier is formed, there will be a lot of problems. ”

Zhang Shusheng said earnestly: The officers and men of the national defense army are not possessed by the gods and are invincible to all poisons, and if the devils really want to build a poison gas isolation zone, then the offensive operation will inevitably be delayed, or even have to slow down. At present, China is not luxurious enough to equip each tank with three-defense equipment, let alone a full set of biochemical clothing for soldiers, at most simple anti-biological and chemical equipment.

With Zhang Shusheng's surname, he would never allow the troops to rush through this poison gas isolation zone, which may be several kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers wide, at the cost of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties.

"What do you mean, Chairman?" Xu Geng is a very steady and loyal general, born in the Southwest Huaxia Military Academy, and has always been appreciated by Zhang Shusheng, so he was appointed as the commander of Unit 201.

"I don't want to start a full-scale gas war, after all, the Far East will be our land, and a super-large-scale gas war will also harm our officers and soldiers." Zhang Shusheng shook his head, China has a lot of high-power weapons, nuclear weapons, poison gas bombs, far stronger than this, but these territories will be China's, who will bear the bitter consequences after use? Not yet Chinese. Zhang Shusheng will not be too opposed to using it in his native area, but if it is used in the Far East, Zhang Shusheng will never agree.

"My idea is that since I want to build a gas zone, then we should also make a gas zone for them. The main reason why I did not mention this matter at the meeting was that if the battle was unfavorable, or if the Japanese army's poison gas isolation zone was too affected, so that the Japanese army would have the opportunity to flee the Far East, then at this time, we must spread poison gas in their coastal escape areas to create a separation zone. ”

"It turns out that this is what the chairman meant, this idea is really good, foolproof, even if the ground attack does not go well, I don't think I will have a chance to evacuate on a large scale."

Xu Geng said happily. If you can make a poison gas isolation zone, you can do it yourself, and China can do the same, and when the time comes, thousands of tons of poison gas will be scattered, not to mention two or three temporary ports where ships will board, even the entire coast of dozens of kilometers long will be covered with poison gas.

Zhang Shusheng is not Hitler and will not be restrained. The Dunkirk retreat in the early years, if it were not for China's secret assassination of Hitler and the transfer of Hitler's furious anger to the British, which led to Hitler's order to mercilessly clean up the Anglo-French troops, the result is likely to be the same as in history, the Anglo-French troops retreated back to Britain unharmed at a small cost.

If it was Zhang Shusheng, hum, originally in history, the British and French forces wanted to run, and the entire Dunkirk port was sprinkled with 1,000 tons of poison gas, even if it was 300 tons or 500 tons of poison gas, it would be absolutely impossible for the British and French forces to escape smoothly.

And it turns out that whether it is the post-war inventory in the original history or the German poison gas reserves obtained by the intelligence services today, the Germans' poison gas reserves exceed 6,000 tons. Originally, there were more than 6,000 tons of various types of poison gas, but now it has reached 7,000 tons, and all the countries of the other Central Powers combined are much more, which is the style of the madman Hitler.

Of course, China has more than them! The production of poison gas is not for the sake of making a fuss like the Germans and himself, but for the purpose of being able to use it on a large scale or on a very large scale at a critical moment.

"Yes, Chairman, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible."

Xu Geng stood up and saluted.

"Well, the plan can be carried out covertly, and the poison gas can be transported to the front, and it's hard to say whether it will be used at that time, but it's good to have this final preparation. In any case, I only ask for one point, and absolutely do not allow the more than 1 million Japanese troops who were surrounded in the Far East to fly back to their capital. ”

Zhang Shusheng said solemnly and abnormally, if he succeeds under such an advantageous situation, it will turn the final battle of the Far East War, which could have been very perfect, into a bad battle.
