Chapter 114: The African War Report

This is Yang Xiaolin's current preliminary plan, and the details are not yet available. As in the war, Commander Yang's tactics of political struggle were no less crude. As for the details, it depends on who made mistakes on Yuan Shikai's side and how much mistake he made.

Duan Qirui here had already leaked a flaw, and Yang Xiaolin stood up from his chair: "The attack on Kizerosky will start immediately, remember, try to assign some combat tasks to Feng Guozhang." ”

Cai Yi understood: "Yes." ”

Huang Bao walked in from outside with a smile on his face at this time: "Commander, I have a newspaper here, you must be eager to see it, it has news from Nyerere. ”

Yang Xiaolin greeted him, took the newspaper from Huang Bao's hand, and opened it to see that it was all French newspapers, and the date was a week ago, that is, when the matter in Beijing had just started. On the front page, a photo of Nyerere stands out.

I hadn't seen Lao Ni for a long time, and Yang Xiaolin found that his figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and there was an extra scar on his face, which was actually in the same position as the scar on Yang Jiang's face. Lao Ni carried an old French rifle on his back, his eyes were very sharp, and there was a line caption under the photo: "Next time you come to hit me, please bring bullets!" ”

This title is really attractive, and Yang Xiaolin immediately looked down.

Nyerere founded the African Liberation Alliance Army in the Atlas Mountains, and after the first defeat of the Italians and the French, his army had grown to 2,000 men, and he followed Yang Xiaolin's example and established a base area.

How could this be something that gentlemen could tolerate? So, the Italians left the French behind. Alone carried out the second encirclement and suppression of the Union army.

The Italians said that the last defeat was because the French were not good, and the combat effectiveness of the French soldiers was too poor, which affected the performance of the Italian soldiers.

Just because the French soldiers at the end of the last group were killed by Nyerere shows that you French are really not good. So this time I'm fighting alone, and you're watching from behind. Italy mobilized 10,000 soldiers from its own territory and organized 20,000 African mercenaries to go to the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

The French newspapers described the battle very clearly, and there was a detail that a group of Union soldiers was surrounded, and only one man was left after the thirty-man group was at its worst, seriously wounded. The mercenaries surrounded them. One of them said, "Hey. Why bother, brother, if you surrender now, we can keep you alive, and if you are still obsessed, your corpse will be eaten by leopards. ”

The soldier of the Union Army said: "I am glad that I can be food for leopards." Because that's the leopard of Africa. ”

This sentence silenced the hundreds of mercenary soldiers present. Circle after circle of people surrounded the wounded soldier, but not a single one fired a shot. Or an Italian officer came up and killed the Confederate soldier.

There is also a phenomenon about the supply of the Union Army.

During the war, the Italians found a lot of blacks who were delivering food and water to the Confederate troops, and the Atlas Mountains were short of water this season. Those men who brought water and food to the Union army often walked back empty-handed, and hundreds of corpses died of hunger and thirst on the road!

From this, you can see how sinister Nyerere's combat environment is. And the old French-made rifle he had on him. Since Yang Xiaolin made the semi-automatic rifle out for the Russians to use on the battlefield during the Russo-Japanese War, this kind of equipment has been popularized in various countries in the world, and it is impossible for Nyerere to fight in Africa without a semi-automatic rifle.

The Italians were not short of supplies, and the French newspapers also sarcastically said that the Italian soldiers had a habit of drinking afternoon tea when they were fighting. Even if the enemy has already hit him, the commander can't immediately give the order to charge, first make an afternoon tea and drink, eat some pizza, otherwise there will be no fighting spirit.

The Italians chased Nyerere in the mountains for more than two months, and after the eventual attack by Nyerere, the material warehouse had to be withdrawn in disgrace. The Italians were very faceless, and Nyerere was angry.

The French newspapers said that the Italians withdrew not because they were having trouble with bullets and guns, but because they had no way to supply their afternoon tea. After Nyerere harvested the supplies of the Italian army, he found that there were very few guns in them, which was simply not enough to make up for his losses in this battle. On the contrary, there are very, very many seasonings and foods, as well as high-end glucose wine, box by box.

So Nyerere said, next time you come to hit me, please bring bullets.

Yang Xiaolin knew that the French newspapers must have a certain taste of ridicule, but it should be an ironclad fact that Lao Ni won the battle again. Later, the French also said that let Italy go back to Rome and come back when they are full, and it is up to us French troops to deal with this banditry.

Yang Xiaolin was very happy after reading it, and he was also a little worried about Nirere.

The situation in Africa is really different from China, where it is too close to Europe, and the gentlemen say they will go. And there was nothing there about the Russo-Japanese War that could make Nyerere breathe, would he hold on?

Yang Xiaolin suddenly had an idea at this time: "Huang Bao, have you been in contact with Sa Zhenbing?" ”

Huang Bao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Yang Xiaolin was doing suddenly thought of Sa Zhenbing, he really hadn't come into contact with this person, because for China now, the weight of the navy is really not heavy.

"No, but he's pretty close to the gang in Beiyang."

Yang Xiaolin raised his head and thought for a moment: "You said that if I, the commander, give him an order, will he accept it?" ”

These words made Huang Bao not know how to answer, if Yang Xiaolin gave an order before the incident in Beijing broke out, Sa Zhenbing would have obeyed. But now it is different, Yuan Shikai is facing a challenge, in the case that Beijing's military strength is not sure that he will kill Sun Wen, and the army cannot be transferred, he will not be able to fight the attention of the navy.

Lao Yuan promoted him to the position of commander of the navy, and asked him to go to the United States, and Sa Zhenbing was grateful to Dade.

Yang Xiaolin didn't seem to think about waiting for Huang Bao to answer: "I still have to give orders, I am the commander-in-chief." He had to listen. If he doesn't listen, it's just an excuse to change us to a naval commander! Songpa, record. ”

Cai Ye immediately took out a pen and paper: "Order, the fleet of the Republic of China immediately sailed to the Nansha waters, built a building mark on the island that can clearly indicate our territory, and if it is obstructed by warships of other countries, it will immediately turn back, and no battle will occur." If no one stops me, let me repair all the way to Xisha! ”

Needless to say, the strategic significance of Xisha and Nansha to China is not to be said, and Taiwan has not yet taken it back. The Japanese could easily strangle China's sea lanes. In the future, China and Japan will fight each other because of the reefs of a Diaoyu Island. It's because it's an export for China.

It's the same with Xisha and Nansha, we have to give a lot of benefits to Vietnam and the Philippines and Malaysia every year in the future, just to get them not to make a fuss about these islands, Vietnam occupies so many islands, we don't speak. Because I don't want to break out into conflicts.

The oil in the ocean is very important to us. We are short of oil. But that exit is more important to us! There is no such exit. We don't have a way to buy the supplies we need from the Middle East and Africa.

Therefore, we have adopted a more gentle and gentle policy towards those countries, as long as they do not talk about those islands, and we admit to the exploitation of oil fields. The actual occupation we also recognized. But in the end, the development of events proved that our Huairou was wrong, as soon as the Americans came to support them, Japan immediately declared that the Diaoyu Islands were his, and the Philippines and Vietnam also stated that those islands were their inherent territory!

What does this mean? It means that any ship that wants to sail out of China in the future must be approved by them.

Yang Xiaolin doesn't want such a situation to occur, and now there is no one to fight for those islands, just like in the 80s, the United States did not support these countries and argued with us, because our economic strength could not threaten the United States, and neither could our navy, so you could not do anything if you were allowed to go out.

In the 21 st century, China's navy has developed by leaps and bounds, and as soon as the aircraft carrier is launched, all problems have come out.

Yang Xiaolin has to learn a lesson, and some things have to be done in advance.

Now just a few broken ships, occupy a few small islands, and people won't say anything about you. When your navy develops, the island will be yours. But you have to wait for it to develop before you occupy it, and some countries may not be willing to give it to you.

After the war with the Russians is over, he will have to lean a little towards the navy in terms of army building. It was enough to lean a little, and little Japan could not feel that they were threatening him, otherwise they would definitely come to trouble the Chinese Navy.

Regarding the development of the navy, Yang Xiaolin believes that the most undesirable thing is to compare shipbuilding with the Japanese! China may have the strength to do so after defeating Russia, but he thinks it is dangerous to do so, because the navy is not only about having more ships, but also because the experience of its soldiers is also very important. If Japan found out that China was threatening him, no one could guarantee that they would not fight another decisive battle with the Chinese fleet. The newly established Chinese Navy does not necessarily have enough to eat them.

And he didn't think there was any need for him to compare shipbuilding with the Japanese, Yang Xiaolin's advantage was that he knew the trend of military development in the world! He could take advantage of this advantage to catch up and overtake the Japanese navy at once.

China's naval strength is enough to have 60 percent of the Japanese, that is, you Japan now has 100 battleships, and I will only build 60. What do you think? So you're not afraid, are you? You won't come to me for a showdown, will you? Then China can train its naval soldiers with confidence.

When the quality of our navy soldiers comes up, and our aircraft develops to a certain stage, if we change the battleship and put the plane on it, I will not only hold down you and the Japanese army will beat you, but I will also beat you navy! By the time Commander Yang was able to beat the Japanese navy, he was ready to explain to the Japanese what Asians meant by Asian.

Cai Ye obviously didn't understand Yang Xiaolin's request for the navy to build buildings on those meaningless islands, but he didn't ask anything, turned around and went to send a telegram.

In addition, in terms of the army's combat mode, Yang Xiaolin also plans to make an attempt this time. China's armored forces are now leading the world, not only in terms of combat vehicles, but also in terms of tactics. But this is still far from the requirements of the kind of mechanized combat that Yang Xiaolin wants, and this time he is ready to let the armored forces provoke the girder! (To be continued......)
