Chapter 361: A Strange Plan to Annihilate the Enemy (1)
Fang Ruijun's words moved the surrounding bigwigs of the three armies for a while, this little young master and the first emperor Fang Xiaoyu have a temper, and they are definitely very protective of their own people.
Liu Qun, the commander of the Eastern Naval Region on the side, seemed to understand the meaning of Wei Lihui's words, and he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, after so many years of recuperation, the population of the Japanese people on the big northern island has exceeded six million. ”
"That's right." Su Zhizhen, who was on the side, patted his thigh and said: "If we let the Japanese people form a servant army to be cannon fodder, it can not only buy me time, but also weaken the power of the Japanese people, which is also good for the stability of our country." ”
Zhang Zhonglin frowned and said: "But how can we use these Japanese people with confidence, let them be willing to be cannon fodder, in the last World War of the World Realm, their casualties were too great, if they still use the method last time, I am afraid they will not be able to die." ”
Su Zhizhen snorted in his nose and said, "With so many old and young in our hands, can they still rebel." ”
Fang Ruijun gritted his teeth and said: "We have made a promise to the Japanese people to let them re-establish the country after the victory of the war, and I believe they will actively cooperate with us." ”
"Re-establishing the country? This is absolutely unacceptable. Su Zhizhen gasped and said: "The wolf ambition of the Japanese people has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is a huge threat to us to let them re-establish the country." ”
Because just now they had been talking about the issue of the army, the bigwigs of the other two arms did not speak, and now when they heard Su Zhizhen talk about the Japanese people, Air Force Commander Chen Yu answered: "What can they do if they are allowed to establish a country?" Now that our national strength is so strong, we can still be afraid that they will not succeed. ”
Fang Ruijun also smiled: "The threat of the establishment of the country of the Japanese people is indeed very great, but it depends on who they threaten. I didn't say that it would be nice to let them re-establish a state in Dongying County, send them to the New World or the Western World, and cause chaos in the Boston Empire. ”
After listening to Fang Ruijun's words, all the high-ranking officials showed knowing smiles, and they realized that this little young master was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his despicability was chasing his father. But in an instant, Fang Ruijun's face sank: "The most important thing now is not the number of soldiers in the army, the problem at sea is even more serious. The Boston Empire occupies a considerable advantage at sea, so that the land forces of several military regions do not dare to use it excessively, which seriously constrains our troops. ”
Fang Ruijun looked at Navy Commander Zhang Haiyang and Chief of Staff Guo Yu and said: "Your navy must gain sea supremacy in the Eastern and Southern Oceans as soon as possible, so that the troops of the various military regions guarding the coastline can be transferred to support the frontal battlefield on the western front, and the two major military regions of the East China Sea and the South China Sea must also closely coordinate with the actions of the navy and strive to gain the strategic initiative at an early date." Hearing Fang Ruijun's order, the commanders of the two military regions, together with Zhang Haiyang and Guo Yu, knocked on their heels and agreed loudly.
The recruitment of the Wa servant army soon began, and after Fang Ruijun personally issued a holy decree for them to establish a state after the war, the leaders of the Wa tribe were highly motivated, and they fully cooperated with the conscription work of the Chinese Empire, and they even sent all the men between the ages of sixteen and forty-five out of the country. The Wa people, who only had a population of 8 million, actually mobilized a full 1.5 million troops, which surprised Su Zhizhen, who was in charge of recruitment.
As long as there are these cannon fodder, Gao Deyu's burden can be lightened a lot. After simple training, they were equipped with semi-automatic rifles, towed guns of various calibers, and a large number of trucks and other second-line weapons that the Chinese Army had obsolete, and then these units were sent to the battlefields in the territory of the Cossack Empire.
One and a half million Japanese troops got on the train, through the two Far Eastern Railways, and arrived at the Kiev region, where the situation was most critical on the battlefield in the Central Continent.
In order to launch a large-scale campaign, it was first necessary to attract the Axis forces, mobilize their forces, and introduce their own traps, so Gauder ordered his troops to rely on the Dnieper River and deploy a long defense line along the river, based on the city of Kiev. Not only were two million defensive troops deployed on this defensive line, but also a lot of large-caliber artillery was placed in the rear, and even the two types of train guns that were in the limelight in the last World War were also transferred.
In addition to the strong firepower, the Gaude language also mobilized a large number of Cossack civilians to continuously strengthen and expand the position, and with the efforts of hundreds of thousands of residents, the entire depth of the position soon expanded to 50 kilometers.
Behind this line of defense, Gao Deyu is strange to a very high standard, built a reinforced concrete defense line, this line of defense is built in the hilly area east of the city of Kiev, where the terrain is higher and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strange thing is that this defense line is built completely above ground fortifications, and there are cement walls connected between the bunkers, like a super-large fortress, and this fortress has long been outdated, everyone really can't see what is necessary to build this fortress.
The Boston Empire was quite well armed, and even their weaker air force could at least rely on more numbers to have a slight upper hand in the battle with the Chinese Imperial Air Force, while on the ground, countless heavy artillery guns fired a dense range of shells, which had already turned over the positions of the Chinese Empire.
After obtaining the technology and manufacturing technology of the Yaman Empire, the steel smelting level of the Boston Empire has been greatly improved, and their special steel production has skyrocketed, which has increased the number of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 155 mm in the army, especially the 203 mm heavy gun, which was extremely expensive in the past, has become the standard configuration of army-level artillery units.
The Imperial Army of Boston even copied five 420-mm train guns of the Yaman Empire, but unfortunately it only took half a day before they were discovered by the high-altitude reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Empire, and then the train guns and bombers of the Chinese Empire knocked it out, so it did not play much role.
After the Japanese army arrived one after another, Gao De pushed them to the front line without saying a word. After the Wei Kingdom dialysed the Lanfang Empire twice, these officers under Fang Xiaoyu had always had a natural aversion to this race.
During the First World War, the reason why the casualties of the Japanese army were so high was because the commander always put them in the most dangerous place, and now Gao Deyu is doing the same thing, and even he is going too far than those before, because this mission is probably even more dangerous.
"Hurry up, hurry up." An officer, wielding his Boston Empire-made Colt pistol, shouted loudly on the shore and ordered the soldiers to begin crossing the river immediately.
After the First World War, the Boston Empire's weapons design has always been aimed at the Chinese Empire, and many weapons are designed for it, and there are many references in design concepts. However, they mistakenly believed that the heavier the combat vehicle, the better, and in the development process, they completely targeted the Grizzly Bear series of combat vehicles of the Chinese Empire, ignoring the research of light waterway amphibious combat vehicles, which became their fatal shortcoming.
Without amphibious combat vehicles like the Weasel series, the Boston Army could only cross the river in assault boats like the First World War, and with the firepower density of today's armies, soldiers exposed to the water can be easily killed, and Michaelson is such a Boston soldier who was driven off the assault boat.
Michaelson used to be a fisherman in the southern part of the Boston Empire, and although he was not wealthy, he barely survived, because he was not in good health and had a slight asthma. In the first mass conscription, he was considered physically unqualified and escaped military service. Just when he thought he would die in this small fishing village, the World War broke out.
The Chinese Empire's name as the strongest army has been accumulating prestige for a long time, and the countries have already been weak in declaring war on NATO, and now the Chinese Army has really won the first battle in the Southern Subcontinent, destroying more Axis troops than itself with inferior forces, which has greatly increased the pressure on the countries, so they are eager to open up the situation in the Central Continent.
The quality of the army was inferior to that of men, the quality of weapons was inferior, and the Axis powers could only rely on numerical superiority, so a new round of conscription began in each country, and this time there were no unqualified people, and all young men were basically integrated into the army or reserves.
In this case, not to mention an asthma like Maxson, even George who was lame in a fishing village was drafted into the army. After half a month of basic training, Maxson, along with many recruits, was hastily issued a gun, put on a military uniform and rushed to the transport ship.
After a week at sea, all the soldiers were thrown into the cabin like a slave ship, and they were not allowed to leave the cabin except for urinating and urinating, and even eating and sleeping. Maxson, who had lived on a fishing boat for half his life, discovered for the first time that he would also be seasick. In fact, it's not just Maxson, who is sitting in this kind of cabin that does not see the light of day and the air is dirty, and people will get seasick. Everyone was vomiting, and the lack of air was so sour that sometimes Maxson had to urinate and go to the deck to get some fresh air.
Finally disembarking at the port of The Hague, Maxson and his comrades were loaded onto tarpaulin trucks across the entire Western Continent and transported directly to the front. The recruits, who had almost collapsed, rested in the barracks for three days before being replenished into the various units.
After only one month of basic training, Maxson only learned to lie down when he heard the gunshot, and how to release the gun. Such an ill-trained soldier was thus caught up on the battlefield, and the effect can be imagined. In yesterday's attack, the lame George was beaten into a sieve by rapid-fire fire from across the river, and today he was caught up in the assault boat.
