When reporting on the victory in the Battle of Changsha and the ceremony of entering the city of Changsha, which can be called shabby by the Youzhou Army, the military reporter of "Nanhua Daily" quoted a sentence from General Wang Yizhe: We are here to liberate China, we are not invaders, we do not need to show off our might, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are the same ancestors.

"Great!" His Majesty was in Weiyang Palace, picked up the newspaper and shouted praise for Commander-in-Chief Wang, and squirted out a lot of milk in his mouth, which attracted Director Qin's amorous eyes.

"The Soul of the Nation -- Remembering General Wang Yizhe, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Group Army of the Han Empire." This was the headline on the front page of the Central Daily in Chongqing on the day of the liberation of Changsha.

At the request of reporters for an interview, Ye Zhiqiu had already flown back to Manila. The battle of the Northern Group Army went smoothly, and the Allied Command of the encirclement and annihilation battle was sufficient to deal with it, and it was General Chief Ye's consistent style to retreat as soon as he succeeded.

Researching the new landing site with Chen Shukang and ensuring that the second battlefield is foolproof is what Ye Zhiqiu is thinking about now.

In order to open up the northern theater, the General Staff is ready to commit three more corps, and the Third Guards Army will be sent - another large group of strong armored troops.

However, the problem of the delivery of nearly 400,000 troops made the officers of the General Staff in Manila gray with sorrow, and for this reason, Ye Zhiqiu sent a telegram to the Taiwan Front Army to eliminate the Japanese troops in Taiwan as soon as possible, so as to ensure that there is no more airfield on the island that the Japanese army can use, and there is no more wharf where Japanese warships can dock.

At the same time, he ordered Commander Zhang Zheng of the Navy to bypass the so-called absolute defense line of Japan in the Mariana Islands in the Philippine Sea, and lead the two-ocean fleet to directly threaten the Ryukyus and ensure the safety of China's coastal troop transport line.

In the two telegrams, the expressions of the people who received the orders were different, and the national Lin grinned, "Call back to the General Staff and tell Lao Ye that we have taken Hsinchu, and the vanguard Yizhou 31st Army is approaching Taoyuan, and will soon begin to sweep the northern perimeter positions of the platform."

And when Zhang Zheng got the telegram, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Chief Ye's appetite is too big, right?" Unless the Combined Fleet no longer plays hide and seek with us, how can we threaten the Ryukyus if we can't annihilate the Japanese navy? ”

"Commander, since Yamamoto doesn't dare to fight a decisive battle with us, why don't we force him to fight a decisive battle?" Last time in the Battle of Pei Island, Mao Quartz, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, who had been scolded and lost face, suddenly came to say.

Everyone in the headquarters was a little surprised, it had been a long time since they had heard Commander Mao speak at such a meeting! Zhang Zheng's eyes lit up, the navy's operations have been in a dilemma for some time, compared to the army's prancing horse whip, the navy has not achieved an inch for a long time. Although no one said anything, Zhang Zheng knew that His Majesty's expectations for the navy were far greater than those of the army.

In this era, to put it bluntly, it is the era of maritime sovereignty, and whoever has a strong navy is the king of the world. The Royal Navy couldn't be silent any longer, Zhang Zheng slipped his eyes in confusion, "Lao Mao, do you have a good way to force the Japanese army to fight a decisive battle with us?" ”

"Commander, everyone!" General Mao Quartz, who had been depressed for a while, was quite confident this time, "After the Japanese Southern Fleet was wiped out by the Northern Fleet of our Navy, the Combined Fleet has been avoiding the battle, and Yamamoto Isoroku's intention is nothing more than the fear of losing the decisive battle, the Japanese Navy will be destroyed, and there will be no naval strategic force to protect the homeland. As long as this combined fleet exists, we will not be able to carry out a landing on Japan, just as Commander Zhang was worried about the orders of the General Staff just now. Seeing that everyone nodded and agreed with their analysis, General Mao Quartz simply walked to the chart, "Everyone, please see, our current actual control scope includes most of the sea areas south of the Tropic of Cancer, including the Philippine Sea, even if it is the sea area near Mariana controlled by Japan, as long as we control a limited number of airfields such as Saipan, the Japanese army has nothing to do with us except for holding on to the isolated island?" ”

Zhang Zheng's gaze followed Mao Quartz's fingers tightly, and he couldn't stop nodding, everyone's thinking was indeed a little too rigid before.

Encouraged by everyone, Mao Quartz's tactical explanation became clearer, "Compared with the Japanese army, what is our most powerful?" Not the Army, not our Navy, but the Air Force. The only Zero aircraft in Japan that can confront us, how many planes can it produce a day? At the beginning, our two-ocean fleet was forced to retreat because we could not replenish carrier-based aircraft at sea. But now, even if the United States still does not allow us to lease Guam and have airfields in the Palau Islands, we can still bomb the airfields on Saipan and Tiani Island indefinitely, and our planes have enough range, right? ”

Zhang Zheng nodded, "Not only the Palau Islands, but also the east coast airfields of the Kingdom of Judah can also take off Cerberus and bomb the Marianas!" ”

"Yes, the commander is right, and Birak and Pandan on the island of Catandunes can build field airfields. These are all aimed at the Mariatia, of course, if this is fought, the air force must bear considerable losses, and His Majesty may not agree. ”

"Shhh......h

However, Mao Shi should know that everyone's coaxing was not malicious, and the analysis just now has been agreed by everyone, including Commander Zhang Zheng, "Don't worry, everyone, next I will talk about the battle plan that may be approved by His Majesty, that is, what I told the commander just now, the method of forcing the Combined Fleet to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

"Huh? Lao Mao, do you really have a way? ”

"Speak quickly, don't interrupt ......"

"Boom!" Zhang Zheng slammed it on the conference table fiercely, it seemed a little painful, and the naval commander grinned and roared, "Shut up Lao Tzu and listen to Lao Mao!" ”

The conference room was immediately silent, Mao Quartz was quite satisfied with this effect, "hehe", found a pen, and directly drew a circle in the sea area between Ryukyu and Taiwan Island, "Right here, I remember that there is an uninhabited island called Diaoyutai here, which can establish radar warfare, and then in the sea area around this small island, we will start to implement aerial scorched earth warfare!" ”

"Scorched earth warfare in the air? That's the magic horse tactics? ”

"Lao Mao, your sister, why did you force out the United Fleet directly......"

The crowd was excited, Mao Shiying subconsciously shrank his head, got! "The so-called air scorched earth warfare is to send a large number of bombers to carry out scorched earth bombardment on all airfields within the voyage, and then our battlefleet will shell them along the islands, only shelling, not landing, so that even if the combined fleet is dispatched, we will not have too many personnel losses without troop carriers." If it does not move, we will continue to bomb and shell the four Japanese islands. When approaching the industrial cities along the coast of the Japanese army, you say, what will the Japanese base camp decide? ”

Mao Quartz's question was not answered-everyone fell into deep thought, what a bold battle plan! Take advantage of the shortcomings of the island country, put aside the army, and only use the navy and air force to force the combined fleet to fight a decisive battle! Even after the destruction of the Combined Fleet, the operation to attack the Japanese mainland can still follow this plan, but it is ......

In fact, everyone thought, can the empire withstand the losses of the Royal Air Force? Japan's aircraft production can't be consumed, so can our Han's bomber production keep up?
