Chapter 621: The End A
readx;
The sudden attack of the Japanese made Lao Jiang panic, and he hurriedly transferred Chen Cheng's expeditionary force to return to support, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Cheng, who had always been loyal, had a "change of heart" at this time...... Chen Cheng, who was in the expeditionary force, knew very well what he was facing: Lao Chiang was the object of his loyalty, and at this time he was driven out of Nanjing again, and he was embarrassed, as a subordinate, he should hurry back to help, but the problem was that he also knew very well what kind of enemy he was facing at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the Japanese mainland was basically open to the expeditionary force, although he didn't dare to say that he could take it directly, but with the temporary sea and air superiority, he could definitely hit it hard and weaken the strength of the Japanese to the greatest extent.
That's a lot of work! It was enough for him to completely trample Hu Zongnan's guys under his feet and officially establish his position as the second person in the National Revolutionary Army.
And on the other hand, giving up such an excellent opportunity to turn back to deal with Yoshio Shinozuka and Shunroku Hatata, not to mention whether they can fight the opponent who came prepared and recuperated for a long time, even if he wins, how can that little credit compare to the scenery of directly leading the army to the Japanese archipelago? And the most important thing beyond that...... Those under his command all wanted to fight the Japanese mainland, and they all felt that it was better to go back to the Japanese army that invaded China than to go directly to the hometown of the Japanese.
However, Chen Cheng was a very loyal person after all, and he had the heart to refuse Lao Jiang's order, but he still flew to Lao Jiang's side to ask for advice and persuasion, hoping that Lao Jiang would take the initiative to change the order.
As a result, Lao Jiang was extremely annoyed by this.
You know, in another time and space during the War of Liberation. Even if he made mistakes repeatedly, this bald guy still kept interfering in the military operations on the front line, which shows his stubbornness and dedication to power. Right now. He was once again driven out of Nanjing by the Japanese, and he was driven out under the condition of dominance, which can be said to be even more faceless than the last time, in this case, Chen Cheng should ignore his order and attack the Japanese mainland?
But anger is anger. In the face of Chen Cheng's proposal, there was nothing he could do. Because, just when he angrily reprimanded Chen Cheng. When it was forcibly subdued, the plans of the expeditionary force were brought to the press...... For a time, the whole country was full of calls for "hitting the hometown of the Japanese" and "hitting Tokyo". What's more, he directly pointed out that Lao Jiang loved face more than patriotism. For the sake of face. He would rather give up the great opportunity for a counteroffensive than be worthy of being the leader of the country...... Immediately afterwards, the British and American governments also sent people to tell them that they hoped that the Nationalist Government would launch an attack on the Japanese mainland, and the Americans even planned to send a detachment in support.
The plan to attack Japan could no longer be stopped. However, as Lao Chiang's punching bag, and the commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations. Chen Cheng was transferred out of the expeditionary force and took Xue Yue and his gang to fight with Shunroku Hatata. The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force was temporarily replaced by He Yingqin.
And Chief He was very face-saving, first patted Lao Jiang's chest and promised him that he would definitely take a bad breath for him, and then cautiously made a request to transfer Qin Wei back as a deputy, the reason is also very simple: this guy's intelligence is accurate, and he is very handy in the use of the Air Force, which can help a lot.
But Lao Jiang still rejected He Yingqin's request, on the grounds that although Qin Wei has made countless meritorious contributions over the years, people are busy and always need to take a break.
He Yingqin didn't say anything more, turned around and went to Taiwan.
But immediately afterwards, Li Zongren, Bai Zhengxi and others asked Qin Wei to go out of the mountain again, and after that, Yan Xishan, Xue Yue, Zhang Fakui and others also sent telegrams...... In the end, even Feng Yuxiang and others, who had always been at odds with Lao Jiang, also said that Lao Jiang was afraid of Qin Wei's ability because of his own selfishness, so he had been suppressing him, and even pulled him back to the rear regardless of the good situation at the front.
For a time, the pressure on all parties faced by Lao Jiang increased sharply.
After all, this is not ordinary public opinion, most of the people who speak are powerful, and although Qin Wei himself has always been obedient and obedient, his own strength is not weak. Although Lao Jiang was angry, he couldn't ignore the attitude of these people, so after some consideration, he sent Qin Wei to Shanxi, to Hu Zongnan, who was fighting with Yoshio Shinozuka...... The position is the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and the position is still above Hu Zongnan. However, this method of rising and descending secretly can't be concealed from those who have a heart, Hu Zongnan is a hardcore disciple of Lao Jiang, and he has been operating in the northwest for many years, even if Qin Wei, the commander, has a high position, without Hu Zongnan's cooperation, it is just a decoration. Almost everyone decided that Qin Wei would suffer a loss on Hu Zongnan's territory, and he couldn't say that he would suffer a big loss.
But to everyone's expectations, after Qin Wei arrived in Shanxi, he actually got along well with Hu Zongnan, and then everyone remembered: Qin Wei had a very strong relationship with Dai Li. Qin Wei even got a position for Dai Li's Minister of Navy, not only that, but in order to let Dai Li have face when he arrived in the Navy, this guy even snatched several Japanese battleships and aircraft carriers, and the relationship between the two sides is really nothing to say. And what is the relationship between Dai Li and Hu Zongnan? Iron buddy! It is rumored that the relationship between the two is even iron to the point where they can offer their wives and children. Therefore, with Dai Li's relationship in the middle, as long as Qin Wei doesn't go too far, Hu Zongnan will definitely give face. And in fact, almost everyone who has come into contact with him knows Qin Wei's character: this guy never takes power! Moreover, whoever has a good attitude towards him, he will give benefits to whomever he wants.
And that's exactly what happened.
Not long after Qin Wei arrived in Shanxi, Hu Zongnan seized the opportunity to raid the weak point of Shinozuka Yoshio's troops, fought several victories, stabilized the battlefield situation, and faintly put on the momentum of a counteroffensive. And what about Yoshio Shinozuka? I have long known that Qin Wei is terrible, after all, the two commanders of the North China Front have been planted in the hands of this guy, from Sugiyama Yuan to Tada Jun, none of them ended well. Therefore, after hearing that Qin Wei was coming, and after suffering a few more defeats, he immediately stopped the attack, and quietly shrank his forces, putting on a defensive posture.
The situation in North China was temporarily stabilized, and Chen Cheng was sent back to the Ninth War Zone by Lao Jiang, losing the opportunity to make great contributions, and while he was depressed, he also sprinkled all his evil anger on the head of Shunroku Hatata. At this time, the first has received a large number of support from Britain and the United States for several years, and the equipment is actually stronger than the Japanese army. It's just because of a moment of slackness and the appearance that victory is in sight, plus there are a lot of recruits. Without the courage to fight to the death like before, many of the officers began to corrupt, and they were suddenly attacked, so they lost the battle. And Chen Cheng was deflated by Lao Jiang, so he sent the fire to his subordinates, and after some rectification, he finally restored some momentum to the army. Then there is Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and others to fully assist. After several battles to the death, although he failed to recover Nanjing, he could be regarded as suppressing the momentum of Shunroku Hata back.
And at the time of frequent wars in the country. He Yingqin also did it.
On the one hand, the Japanese army in Taiwan was cleaned up and the forward bases were stabilized, and on the other hand, the air force was dispatched to carry out a large-scale bombing of the Japanese farmland. This is the season of grain harvest. Taiwan was regained by **. The Japanese Navy was again held back by the Pacific Fleet and could not return to help in a short period of time, and the possibility of Japan obtaining grain from abroad was already very small. A napalm, if no one puts it out, can almost easily burn thousands of acres of fertile land, if you add God's cooperation. This "achievement" can even reach more than 10,000 acres, and it has been bombed down several times. The food that a city needs can be gone......
He Yingqin bombed the Japanese for more than a month.
At the same time as the farmland was bombed, fishing ports and residential houses were also bombed...... Whatever the Japanese Air Force has done, he has done almost all of them. The Japanese have no choice but to shout and scold frantically in the international community, saying that the Chinese are not humane, but when is this? The Germans have blown London into ruins. Moreover, how many evil things have the Japanese themselves done? Not to mention the Nanjing Massacre, which has spread all over the world, when Japan bombed Chongqing and other Chinese cities, did it care about civilians again? Japan also bombed the US mainland, even all the way to New York, and when they heard that the Japanese mainland had been bombed, the United States not only did not show any sympathy, but cheered in unison, and the US Government even supported dozens of B-29s and a large number of homemade napalm bombs to China for this purpose...... Truman, who took over the presidency because of Roosevelt's death, even sent a telegram to Chiang Lao himself, claiming that if the Chinese side needed it, they could even send a few aircraft carriers to help, so that the Chinese Air Force could bomb Japan in several more directions.
The tide of battle began to turn around from this moment.
Knowing that the mainland was under such an attack, Yamamoto Isoroku could no longer care about those small islands in the Pacific Ocean, and hurriedly led his army back. He can't help but go back, if he waits any longer, there may be no Yamato nation in Japan itself, because many people will starve to death! And what about the Americans? Although they shouted loudly, their Pacific Fleet always lagged behind the Combined Fleet, and it was said that it was a pursuit, but in fact it was like a send-off...... Until they were ambushed by the Combined Fleet!
The Americans thought that Yamamoto 56 would rush to rescue the mainland, but they forgot that compared to China at this time, the United States, which almost single-handedly supported the entire allies, was an even more terrifying existence. The Japanese are sneak attacks again, and they are desperate, and it is not easy to block this terrible enemy in the Hawaiian line, if they are allowed to chase them to the Japanese mainland, even if they drive away the Chinese, what can they do? Aren't you going to face an even more formidable enemy? Ishihara knew this, and Yamamoto Fifty-six also knew this, so they made a plan before retreating...... Ambush the Pacific Fleet at Midway!
A sea battle!
The intelligence of the Japanese was not intercepted by the Americans as in the original space-time, and what about the Americans? I didn't expect Yamamoto Fifty-six to be so calm, seeing that his homeland was attacked like that, he still had the time to calculate them. As a result, the Pacific Fleet suffered another shameful defeat: the death of four aircraft carriers, a heavy cruiser, hundreds of aircraft, and nearly 4,000 men greatly damaged the vitality of the Pacific Fleet. The Japanese paid the price of one aircraft carrier and two destroyers, as well as less than five hundred killed.
The Americans were directly stunned.
They felt incomprehensible. Isn't the duel between aircraft carrier battle groups mainly a duel of carrier-based aircraft? Although the Japanese were ambushed, the American planes were obviously stronger than the Japanese in terms of performance, so why were they beaten so badly?
And soon the Americans knew the answer: it was not their planes that failed, but warships...... The Japanese rammed and sank two of their aircraft carriers with a warship much smaller than a destroyer! That kind of warship obviously has extraordinary armor, and it is fast, and most importantly, it is not afraid of death...... This small boat, which the Japanese called "kamikaze", was very troublesome: it was small in size, but it was hardly equipped with any equipment for many trips. The speed is extremely fast, and the armor is also very thick, so it is basically not afraid of aircraft. Only naval artillery can threaten, but the pitiful hit rate of naval artillery is not very accurate even if it hits a large ship of tens of thousands of tons, and dozens of shells may not be able to hit one or two rounds, not to mention against these thousands of tons, or even only a few hundred tons of gadgets? So, the Pacific Fleet was careless for a while. Two aircraft carriers were lost in succession, and as soon as the aircraft carrier was gone, the planes and personnel on it were finished. Who has time to save people in times of war? But having lost two aircraft carriers, the US planes, although superior in performance, could barely suppress Japan's naval aviation. But you have to face a fatal problem: landing!
The Battle of Midway lasted three days. The endurance of fighters is far behind that of bombers, and the Pacific Fleet has lost two aircraft carriers that can land aircraft, and the remaining aircraft carriers have to take off and land fighters more frequently, and in order to make room for fighters landing behind, many pilots can't even rest, and after landing, they have to take off again with fuel...... Continuous combat. Drowsy driving...... Defeat is naturally assured.
……
However, although relying on the "kamikaze" to beat away the Yankees. Yamamoto fifty-six didn't end well. As soon as he won the battle, he received a telegram from Hirohito, asking him to return to Tokyo to talk about how to deal with Chinese's attack...... The Chinese fighter jets that took off from the "Fengxiang" earned a big face for the newly appointed Secretary of the Navy: they shot down the plane of Yamamoto Isoroku!
Japan's legendary admiral perished in the Pacific!
After that, Chen Jiliang led the Chinese naval fleet from Taiwan to intercept the Japanese Combined Fleet. As a result, Nagumo Tadaichi, who took the helm of the fleet instead of Yamamoto Isoroku, did not dare to respond to the battle in the face of an opponent who was far weaker than himself, and actually made a detour from the Kuril Islands to return to Japan. And when he made a detour, the Japanese were unlucky again. Chen Jiliang pretended to withdraw, but he sneaked to the east coast of Japan and bombed Tokyo with carrier-based aircraft, causing a fire in Tokyo and killing and wounding Japanese people.
Nagumo Tadaichi was unanimously condemned by the Japanese government and the opposition, and although he did not have to go to the field because of the efforts of Ishihara and others, he had no choice but to lead a combined fleet under pressure to find a decisive battle for the Chinese navy. But what he didn't expect was that when he led the main force of the fleet to Hiroshima Kure Naval Port to rest and prepare to launch an attack, the port was suddenly bombed by the Chinese Air Force, and although the intensity of this bombing was not large, it was only harassing, but it caused a huge disaster...... A large number of poison gas bombs stored in the warehouse of the Kure Navy Port were detonated. This batch of poison gas bombs is said to be intended by the Japanese military department to be transported to the front line of Chinese mainland for the army to break the current situation, but unexpectedly, before the ship began to be loaded, it was bombed at the doorstep first. Hundreds of thousands of poison gas bombs exploded, filling the entire port and even the urban area of Hiroshima was greatly affected. However, there were hardly a few people left alive in the Combined Fleet under this bombardment, and a large number of Japanese naval officers, including Nagumo Tadaichi himself, were poisoned and died, which can be described as heavy casualties.
However, this is not the most unacceptable to the Japanese, the most unacceptable thing for them is that before they could react, Wang Yaowu's airborne troops suddenly attacked Wu Hai, and these airborne troops actually sailed...... They drove away all the warships of the Combined Fleet in Kurehae, including the Shinano, the sister ship of the "Yamato" and "Musashi" and the world's largest aircraft carrier, which had just been completed. It's as easy as flicking your sleeves.
The Japanese are completely insane, but they are also completely finished!
The main fleet was robbed, and even after a short time, these warships turned their guns and rained "evil shells" on the Japanese mainland...... In this case, even if their army still occupies a considerable part of China's territory, they have no ability to fight back! And the course of the war was exactly like that. Half a year after He Yingqin became commander of the expeditionary force, the Japanese government and opposition had no choice but to agree to the harsh conditions of the Chinese side and choose to surrender in the face of the fact that dozens of cities, including Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Sendai, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto, had been razed to the ground, millions of people had starved to death, countless Japanese people had no to eat, and there were frequent riots in the country.
By this time, the year 1948 had passed, and the war in Europe was still ongoing. (To be continued.) )
