The ambition of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De

After the 1st Air Division was redressed, under the personal order of the commander-in-chief, it entered the time of intense adaptation training. The commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, Zuo Quan and others, have returned to the city of Nanjing, the supreme headquarters of the East China Field Army.

After only a day's rest, the commander-in-chief was full of ambition for the next battle. I found Liu Hua and Zuo Quan, and began to learn more about the specific combat plan formulated by Liu Hua....

"Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Zuo Quan, Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, including the entire Central Military Commission, will fight this time, full of expectations. Of course, the reason why I rushed to Nanjing City in person was also to see with my own eyes how our god of war, Comrade Liu Hua, smashed the Japanese army's retaliatory strike without having any advantage..."The commander-in-chief spoke first, stating the specific purpose of his trip...

"Of course, I'm not here to compete with you for power. After all, this layout is not only related to a unit of the East China Field Army, but also to the navy, air force, and several other field armies. When the time comes, with me, the commander-in-chief, in charge, it will be much better in terms of coordination. ”

Seeing the commander-in-chief who was straight in front of him, he didn't mind at all, and he looked sincere. Liu Hua, who also didn't expect the commander-in-chief to rush to Nanjing in person to command the operation, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Commander-in-chief, if you say this, we will be ashamed." I believe that with you in this battle, we will definitely achieve greater results...."

"Okay, a few of us, let's not compliment here. As long as you don't have a pimple in your heart and can continue the next work in the best condition, I can rest assured. Otherwise, I'll go straight home..."The commander-in-chief continued with a smile on his face.

"Let's not talk about it, let's get down to business from now on...."

Speaking of which, the commander-in-chief, who was still smiling just now, was shrouded in a serious look on his face. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he asked.

"Just talking about the results of the battle, I want to know, within your battle plan, how much you want to achieve through this battle..."

Faced with the question of the commander-in-chief, I thought about this battle that I didn't know when it would start. Liu Hua, the proposer of the entire battle plan, also fell into contemplation for the first time.

In his heart, he wanted to use this battle to annihilate all the invading fleets of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, capture all the transport ships that came with the invading fleets of the Japanese army, and enhance the shipping capacity of the Chinese Navy through these transport ships. In the end, it completely cut off the way for the Japanese army to break through and return home, destroying the last hope of the Japanese army at home.

However, he clearly knows that in order to accomplish this goal, not only a strong air force is needed, but also a naval force that can really pull out and fight....

And now, although there are air force units. However, the entire 1st Air Force Division has just completed its rearmament, and it is not known whether the 1st Air Force Division will be able to truly adapt to the new fighters and achieve the combat effectiveness of the first battle with the Japanese Air Force before the Japanese army attackes. As for the navy, according to Liu Hua's current understanding, before the various ships reinforced by the US government arrived to equip the troops, the strength of the entire Chinese navy was not as good as a new destroyer of the Japanese army....

Faced with such a huge gap, Liu Hua didn't dare to imagine what kind of shocked expression the commander-in-chief in front of him would show after he said the goal in his heart again.

Seeing Liu Hua with a hesitant face in front of him, the commander-in-chief seemed to understand something. He smiled and spoke.

"Comrade Liu Hua, since you don't want to talk about it for the time being, then I will first talk about my specific ambitions for this operation....," Originally, with my character, I didn't have much hope for this operation. However, when I think that the supreme commander of this operation is you, Liu Hua, I have more expectations. Now, let me give you a detailed description of my ambitions, and you should think carefully about what can be achieved and what cannot be achieved..."

Seeing the two people in front of him, after a short thought, the commander-in-chief continued to speak.

"Number one, on the Air Force. I hope that in this operation, the 1st Air Force Division will be able to completely annihilate the two air wings of the Japanese army under your command and truly control the airspace of our country..."

"On the naval side, with the cooperation of the 1st Air Division, the Japanese invading fleet was severely damaged. Forcing the Japanese army to attack the fleet, not daring to enter the cruising range of our 1st Air Division, and completely cutting off the way for the remnants of the Japanese army to break through at home...."

"On the ground side, on the basis of the victory of the air and navy, a counteroffensive was immediately launched. No matter how big the price is, it is necessary to solve the remaining hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in a short period of time and return the Chinese people to a peaceful living environment. ”

Shock....After listening to the commander-in-chief's answer, the first thing Liu Hua showed was shock. Because he did not expect that the ambition of the commander-in-chief would be so high when our army did not have any advantage.

However, when I thought about the goal I wanted to achieve in my heart, I saw the commander-in-chief with an expectant look in front of me. Liu Hua replied very decisively without the slightest hesitation.

"Commander-in-Chief, you relax. I, Liu Hua, promise here that I will fulfill your expectations through this battle..."

"To be specific," the commander-in-chief asked expectantly.

"On the air side, the total annihilation of the Japanese army attacked all enemy aircraft...... On the navy side, it is necessary not only to inflict heavy damage on the invading Japanese fleet, but also to completely annihilate it, and to capture all the invading Japanese transport ships, so as to enhance the seaborne capacity of our navy....On the land side, in the shortest possible time, the battle will be ended and all the Japanese troops will be completely annihilated..." Liu Hua replied confidently.

The sinking of the aircraft carrier Kaga made Rear Admiral Sasaki, in the blink of an eye, become the commander of the light pole. However, surprisingly, in the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shanghai, he, who had been waiting for a telegram of reprimand at home, not only did not receive any criticism, but received a new telegram of appointment....

It turned out that since the Japanese army lost in the Chinese theater and the Pacific theater one after another, a series of senior officers within the Japanese army have also been killed on the battlefield. In just a few years, the number of officers in the Japanese army has dropped sharply, especially the high-tech officers of the navy, and there is a great shortage of high-tech officers.

Faced with the total annihilation of the Chinese fleet, Rear Admiral Sasaki, as the commander of the fleet, was supposed to be sent to a military court. However, at this moment, there is no suitable admiral to command the newly formed detachment. At the suggestion of Hideki Tojo, Rear Admiral Sasaki was directly appointed by the military department as the commander of the detachment in the name of meritorious service...

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, Commander, on being reappointed as Commander of the Detachment by His Majesty the Emperor...."The adjutant of staff, who learned the contents of the telegram, saw that his master had not only not been punished, but had been reactivated, and had been entrusted with a heavy task. A face has already blossomed. After all, the master is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and as an adjutant, he will also rise because of this.

"Well, I really didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to trust me so much... In this case, this time, I will definitely live up to the trust and love of His Majesty the Emperor, complete the task assigned to me by the military department, and completely wipe out the Chinese Air Force in the bud. In the face of the adjutant's compliment, he clenched his fists and swore loudly at the portrait of Emperor Hirohito on the wall. ..., "Your Excellency, Commander, I will do my best to assist you and complete the task, and I will be ashamed of you, please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander." The adjutant of staff followed and spoke.

"Yo Xi... At the speed of the fleet, at the latest in a week, Shanghai will be felt. So, we still have a week to prepare....So far, have the intelligence departments figured out the specific positions and equipment of the Chinese Air Force, I want the most detailed information...."

"Because the intelligence system was almost completely destroyed in this army breakout. So, the detailed intelligence is not yet clear. However, we have already made it clear that the 1st Chinese Air Force Division, which attacked the Kaga aircraft carrier, is currently stationed at Nanjing Airport for training. In addition, a day ago, a large number of warplanes were once again transferred from Chongqing to Shanghai airport. Because our intelligence officers can't get close to the airfield at all, it is not clear what the specific models of these fighters are...," replied the adjutant.

"Well, it seems that the Chinese government is already aware of the plans of our Great Japanese Empire to launch a retaliatory plan. Otherwise, they would not have transferred so many air force units to station in Nanjing..."A look of worry immediately flashed on Major General Sasaki's face.

Seeing Major General Sasaki with a worried face in front of him, the adjutant said with a nonchalant expression: "Your Excellency the Commander, don't worry. No matter how many troops the Chinese Air Force mobilizes, it will not be the opponent of the two aviation wings of our Guards Aviation Division. Because, looking at the entire Chinese Air Force equipment, there are simply no fighters that can compete with the Japanese Empire. Therefore, even if the Chinese government mobilizes more fighters, it will still be a live target for our air force..."

Originally, I thought that with his understanding of his superiors, Major General Sasaki would definitely agree with his idea. However, it was very unexpected. As soon as his words fell, an angry curse roared out of Major General Sasaki's mouth.

"Yaga, have you forgotten how the aircraft carrier Kaga sank?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please calm your anger...."

"It is because of our underestimation of the enemy that the sinking of the aircraft carrier Kaga was caused. Therefore, the only thing we have to do in this battle is to pay attention to our opponents..."

"Order, from now on, our army must mobilize all intelligence forces, reconnoiter the specific number and model of equipment of the Chinese Air Force at Nanjing Airport, and must send the information to me before the reinforcement fleet arrives...."Rear Admiral Sasaki ordered with a serious face.

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise...."
