Chapter 245: The Prelude to the War
What is radar, as the director of the Aviation Commission, Zhou Zhirou, who is actually the commander of the Air Force, is naturally very clear, this thing has just begun to be built in the UK, it is a standard high-tech, and it is even in a state of secrecy.
"Brother Yang, how many radars can you provide, and what is the specific performance?" He asked impatiently.
"Twenty sets, the search distance is one hundred and fifty kilometers, and the accuracy is about a few hundred meters, anyway, the performance can be said to be the best now." Yang Feng said.
While the two were talking, the plane landed at Nanyuan Airport, and after looking at the Lightning fighters and Liberator bombers parked here, Zhou Zhirou talked very casually.
Yang Feng now has two brigades of twin demons in his hands, and the number of liberators has also reached thirty, Nanyuan Airport has long been unable to accommodate it, there is actually only one fighter brigade here, and the other brigade is stationed in Zhangjiakou and Jinan, and the liberators also have ten in Jinan.
"Don't sigh, thunder is not much worse than lightning." Yang Feng said somewhat proudly on the side.
"What about the liberators?" Zhou Zhirou said angrily.
"You can't blame me, Roosevelt just didn't allow Lockheed to sell out, and I can't help it, didn't you buy a lot of Martin? That's enough. Yang Feng said that Martin has now been acquired by Lockheed, the original inventory of B10 bombers are all sold at a reduced price, and the bald guy also took the opportunity to buy 20 bombers, although the performance of this bomber is several grades worse than that of the Liberator, but the price is cheap, only tens of thousands of dollars a piece, not even half of the twin demons, carrying a ton of bombs to blow up the ground army or something is still competent.
The two then came to a radar station under construction in Xishan, where Yang Feng asked people to demonstrate to him the combat method of radar, and even took off a plane for him to feel on the spot.
"When you go back, you start to select a location for the radar station. Then build the supporting facilities, I will send someone to help you, and when the infrastructure is completed, the radar operators on my side have basically been trained, and then take the radar to install it directly. Yang Feng then said.
Zhou Zhirou didn't have anything to say, Yang Feng was able to take out something like a secret weapon like radar. This already made him overjoyed.
Just when he was selling radar to Zhou Zhirou, distant Yanji.
Although it belongs to the capital of Jiandao Province under the Manchurian State, it has actually become an international laughing stock, because the actual control here is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, not only Yanji, but also Tumen, Wang Qing, Hunchun, and even Nanyang in North Korea are under the control of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. This was the result of last year's war, taking advantage of the transfer of the main force of the Japanese army to Rehe, the Anti-Japanese Union commanded by Tang Juwu occupied the entire Jiandao Province, and then the two sides ceased the war with the de facto Line of Control under the international mediation led by Yang Feng.
The Anti-Japanese League occupied the area of Yanji, but could not hinder railway transportation, and the Japanese troops who also retreated to Dunhua, Ning'an, and Tonghua could not enter the boundaries of the island province they had demarcated. But in order to ensure the smooth passage of the railway, they can station a garrison of no more than two hundred people here. Used for patrols along the railway, and to monitor the ceasefire between the two sides, the League of Nations also stationed a military observer group of several dozen people in Yanji.
The weather was fine today, and the head of the Mission, Major Martin, was leisurely driving his beloved Wrangler down a rough country road with his beloved fishing gear on it. The Tumen River in spring is a good place for fishing, although the winter in this place is a little too cold, but the spring is very charming, and the beautiful Korean girl is also very nostalgic.
Not far from the path is the Changtu Railway, where two Japanese soldiers with rifles are patrolling. In a log outpost not far from them, Anti-United Nations soldiers in full Soviet-made weapons were staring at them, and the two sides coexisted strangely in this beautiful land.
"Strange country!" Major Martin shrugged, then showed a covetous expression at a beautiful female soldier not far away, and then slammed on the accelerator, and the Wrangler rushed up a dirt slope with a low roar, and at that moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out behind him, and then he saw the body of a Japanese soldier on the opposite side shake.
Although he had not experienced the war, Major Martin's reaction was still admirable, and he did not hesitate to push the car door, rolled over, and then arched into the grass, but to his surprise, the gunfire never rang out again, and he waited in this strange atmosphere for almost five minutes, before Major Martin cautiously poked his head out, and then looked at the outpost, the anti-union soldiers inside were looking at him blankly, and then looked at the opposite side, the two Japanese soldiers were gone, only a pool of blood on the ground, He looked for a long time before he was on the roadbed of the railway and saw the reflection of the barrel of the rifle!
"Bastard!" Major Martin then saw his car, the latest Wrangler, in a muddy pond by the side of the road.
Jiro Ono, a soldier of the Japanese railway garrison, was attacked by anti-Japanese elements and was seriously injured during his normal patrol, and this news immediately made the Kwantung Army angry, and the Japanese side made representations to the Anti-Japanese Federation that night, and handed over the murderer within 24 hours, otherwise it would be regarded as the Anti-Japanese Union tearing up the armistice agreement.
"Mah, did our people do it?" In Hunchun's Anti-Japanese Federation General Headquarters, Tang Juwu asked Deng Tiemei, who was stationed in Yanji, with a depressed face.
"Not my subordinates anyway." Deng Tiemei said, but he didn't dare to guarantee this matter, you must know that the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Union basically have a grudge against the Japanese, and it is not impossible for any soldier to do this kind of thing with a hot brain, but this matter really can't be investigated, and even if it is done by his own subordinates, it is resolutely unadmitted.
"What else is there to check, anyway, they just want to fight! It doesn't matter if we did it or not. Dong Zhentang said on the side.
"Fight, fight, who's afraid of whom!" Tang Juwu gritted his teeth and said, I have been fighting for four years, who is afraid of whom.
Twenty-four hours later, the Japanese army officially announced the annulment of the armistice agreement signed last summer on the grounds that the Anti-Japanese Union had not handed over the murderer, and then the 19th Division stationed in Korea, the 1st Division stationed in Tonghua, and the 11th Mixed Brigade stationed in Dunhua faced Yanji from three sides. Longjing, Tumen, Hunchun and other places launched attacks, and at the same time, the 102nd and 106th divisions were transported to Korea by sea to participate in the operation against Tang Juwu.
This news made Yang Feng a little stunned.
"Ma's. What's going on? Why aren't they going to fight bald guys?" He looked at the map blankly.
Not to mention him, even the Nanjing side is stunned, the bald guy is worried about the Japanese attack on Shanghai these days, he is worried about the Japanese army attacking Shanghai, to be honest, he is ready to prepare, and he doesn't want to really fight him, these days on the one hand to prepare for war, on the other hand, he is also diplomatically arguing with the Japanese, anyway, it can drag on for a day. But all of a sudden, the Japanese army ran to fight Tang Juwu, which really made him uncomfortable.
"Why don't we take a look at it first? Tang Juwu has more than 70,000 people in five armies, and a full set of Soviet-style weapons, backed by the Soviet Union, and sufficient supplies, even if the four divisions of the Japanese army are together, it will be no problem to hold out for half a year, and it is a big deal for them to return to the old forest. Han Fuyu said at the military meeting in Beiping.
It's not good! In the past, the Japanese beat us, but Tang Juwu has never been ambiguous. We can't watch him get beaten!" Sun Dianying said that he did owe Tang Juwu a lot of favors.
"Raise your hand. Who agrees to fight!" Yang Feng said, after speaking, he raised his hand first, Li Du, Sun Dianying, Feng Zhanhai, and Ma Hongkui followed closely and raised their hands. Song Zheyuan, Fu Zuoyi and Pang Bingxun hesitated and raised their hands, leaving Han Fuyu, Yu Xuezhong, and He Zhuguo. Shang Zhen and the four of them looked at each other, and then Yu Xuezhong said, "Since that's the case, let's fight!"
"But if you want to fight, you must fight hard, don't have any worries this time, the Great Wall line will also attack, it is best to eat the second and eighth divisions at once." Shang Zhen said.
The Eighth Division of the Japanese Army is stationed in Fengning, the Second Division is stationed in Chengde, which is basically in a semi-encirclement, in addition to the Twelfth Division stationed in Chaoyang, there is a brigade in Shanhaiguan, these three divisions are actually the strongest combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army in Northeast China, especially the Twelfth Division that joined the Kwantung Army after the most has not suffered any losses, all elite veterans, and almost half of the other fourth, fifth, sixth, and eleventh divisions are actually recruits, and the Fourth Division, which even the division commander was captured last year, is still repairing in Changchun.
"In that case, we have to come up with a battle plan." Yang Feng said that he remembered that Huang Baitao was here at this time, and immediately asked people to call him.
"Mr. Yang, generals!" As soon as Huang Baitao entered the conference room, he saluted everyone first, he was only a major general, and the lowest of these in the conference room had to be a lieutenant general, and there were only five second-level generals alone, so naturally his status was low.
"Huanxian, they are all their own brothers, you are welcome, I will tell you the truth, the Japanese army has torn up the armistice agreement with the Northeast Guangfu Army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and is now attacking Tang Juwu, so we are preparing to launch a counteroffensive in Rehe, and you are almost familiar with the situation in the army during this time, so I am ready for you to formulate a combat plan." Yang Feng said.
Huang Baitao gasped, he didn't expect these guys to look up to him so much, this is to make himself the chief of the general staff! But this is indeed an opportunity for him, he has now settled down and is ready to follow Yang Feng, if nothing else, it is worth selling his life to this guy for the two percent of the shares of the American Cherokee promised by Yang Feng.
"I don't know how far the generals want to control this battle?" Huang Baitao said with a deep groan.
"To what extent?" Yang Feng shook his head and said: "There is no degree, there is only one goal, to maximize the damage to the Japanese army, we are not politicians, we don't need to think about anything else, in addition, it is best to completely annihilate the second and eighth divisions of the Japanese army, and then directly seize Chengde, it is better to take Liaoxi."
"Got it!" Huang Baitao said.
Of course, Yang Feng can't really hand over such a big burden to him, you must know that this is a big war with more than 300,000 mobilized troops, and he is a small major general with no regular military academy education, and he is willing to do Yang Feng or not! Yang Feng never thought that the bald man's Zhongyang Military Academy was also a regular military academy, so at most, he was asked to be in charge of the specific work as Sun Liren's deputy, and Sun Liren had to grasp the general direction.
The combat goal is established, then the next step is to participate in the battle, the whole army of the Northeast Guangfu Army in Rehe, the whole army of Sun Dianying's army, Feng Zhanhai is still staying, the three divisions of the 29th Army, plus Zhao Dengyu's department that should be counted as a cavalry army, Ma Hongkui will add another cavalry division to him, and a cavalry brigade of Ma Hongbin's department, in fact, the cavalry alone is close to 30,000 people.
The whole army of the Shang Zhen Department and the whole army of Pang Bingxun's Department. Fu Zuoyi has two divisions, and his current army is also a three-division system, although the bald guy didn't give him a name, but he got a tutor himself, and he is preparing to build a second division for teaching.
A division of He Zhu's national department cooperated with Yang Feng's peacekeeping troops in eastern Hebei to counterattack Shanhaiguan, and his peacekeeping troops all wiped out the autonomous government in eastern Hebei and continued to maintain peace. In addition, a heavy tank battalion and a tank regiment were separated from the armored assault group to form a task force to be attached to this direction, with these 96 59 tanks and 100 infantry fighting vehicles, and it is estimated that no Japanese army can stop them in the western Liaoning corridor.
When the time comes, it will be enough to throw another 200 mines at Liaodong Bay to prevent the Japanese Navy from going over to join in the fun.
The remaining two divisions of He Zhuguo's division plus one brigade of the security division and one division of Yu Xuezhong's division guarded Dagukou, and the whole army of Han Fuyu's division and the remaining two divisions of Yu Xuezhong's division defended Shandong, and then the armored assault group left one hundred 59 tanks and one hundred infantry fighting vehicles, as a general reserve and an infantry brigade to stay in Beiping, mainly to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Shandong, but there should be no big problem at this point. Sending planes to patrol more points, once they found that the Japanese troops were carrying out landing operations, they first ran in front of them and threw mines, and more than 3,000 mines were accumulated in the warehouse at Dagukou, which was enough to use.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be told to anyone.
In this way, it will be more than 300,000 to be put into front-line operations, and they can basically be divided into four battle groups, with Li Du as the commander-in-chief on the northern front. His strength was more than 150,000, and the Western Front was commanded by Sun Dianying. His subordinates included the 41st Army and the 29th Army Feng Zhi's Department, the Southern Front with Fu Zuoyi as the commander-in-chief, including Shang Zhen and Pang Bingxun's 2nd Division, as well as the 29th Army's Zhang Zizhong and He Jifeng Divisions, as well as the Mountain Brigade to which the Security Division belonged. The Shanhaiguan front line has He Zhuguo as the commander-in-chief, an armored task force, a brigade-level infantry combat detachment, and an infantry division, although the number of troops is the least. But the attack power is the most terrifying.
Not to mention a division of the Japanese army, even if it is a division of the German army, Yang Feng does not believe that they can block the assault force of his two combined to catch up with a German armored division.
This number made Huang Baitao dumbfounded, and he turned around in various armies, but he knew very well that these guys' combat effectiveness, equipment level, firepower density, command art and other things were not considered first, just looking at the level of training, he understood that when he was a division commander under the bald guys, when a division had a year of combat, the ammunition consumption might not be able to catch up with the ammunition consumption of these guys in a month when they were training.
In Yang Feng's words, that thing can't be recycled except for explosives, everything else can be recycled, and the rest is nothing more than electricity money and workers' wages, which can be worth a few dollars, the arsenal in Beiping and the Taiyuan arsenal combined, can produce more than 10 million rounds of ammunition in a month, and now there are more than 100 million rounds stored in the warehouse alone.
In this way, the 300,000 army is scattered, not to mention the counterattack on Rehe, it is not a problem to hit Nanjing, he really can't understand what Yang Feng's goal is now!
Introduce the participating troops, combat objectives, and material reserves to Huang Baitao, and how to formulate the operational plan for the rest, this Yang Feng doesn't care, there is Sun Liren to grasp the overall situation for him, plus Huang Baitao, Richard and the people from the staff office of the security division, as well as the chiefs of staff of various armies, to formulate the operational plan together, this is still very safe.
Boss Yang still has important things to do, although he says that he is not a politician, but in fact he still has to add a limit to this battle, in the end, he is not interested in fighting the Japanese, he has to lead the trouble to the bald guy.
Although the 300,000-strong army is quite strong, if he really wants to recruit more than 20 Japanese divisions and regiments, he is afraid that he will not have any good fruit to eat, so he has to make contact with the Japanese.
"Your Excellency, the actions of your army in Changbai Mountain are really regrettable, you should know that General Tang Juwu is my good friend, and your country is also my good friend, I have worked hard for the peaceful coexistence of the two of you, and now you suddenly tear up the armistice agreement, which makes my heart almost broken." This thing shamelessly said to the Japanese ambassador Shinrokuro Hidaka.
"Mr. Yang, it was Tang Juwu's people who started the war first, and we also don't want Changbai Mountain to fall into war again, but the Anti-Japanese Federation brutally attacked our soldiers, and in this case, we have no choice but to continue to eliminate them." Hidaka Shinrokuro said.
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, you also know that there are actually quite a lot of bandits in the Changbai Mountains of Ludao, and they also have the possibility of attacking your army, and it is also very common for guns to go off in the army, and besides, the soldier in your country is only injured, I don't think there is any need to make a fuss." Yang Feng said.
"Mr. Yang, this is a matter of principle, we will not back down in this matter, and the Tang Ju Five Bandit Gang is entrenched in Changbai Mountain, which has seriously affected the stability of Manchukuo, and we are entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor of Manchukuo to eliminate them." Hidaka Shinrokuro said.
"That's a pity, you know, tearing up the armistice means that I can't use the same reason to mediate your relationship with the Northeast Liberation Army, and if they also participate in the war, then it will be difficult for me to stop it." Yang Feng threatened in a tone full of regret. (To be continued......)
