The spring breeze in March is like a fluttering girl, graceful and graceful. And with soft little hands, gently caress people's cheeks, so that people are intoxicated with the bright spring light. In this season of renewal and budding, a military conference that the opponent could not have anticipated was held at the headquarters of the Wehrmacht. In the conference hall of the Ministry of National Defense, on both sides of the long table covered with military green blankets, sat Leng Yifei, commander of the central road cluster, Khalid, chief of staff, and Li Tianxiang, deputy commander.

Bai Sheng, commander of the Eastern Front Army, Nie Fengwu, deputy commander and commander of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, and Wang Jie, chief of staff. Navy Commander Fan Tao, Deputy Commander Liu Buzhan, Commander of the Southeast Coastal Border Garrison Liu Mingchuan, CIA Director Wan Chuan and other senior generals were seated. The side of the conference hall was opened, and the officer on duty shouted: "The president has arrived!" "All stand and salute!" I saw Deng Zixuan dressed in military uniform, and behind Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin, he strode in.

Deng Zixuan was the leader, and Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin stood on the left and right. "Sit down!" Deng Zixuan said majestically. Everyone sat down, Deng Zixuan did not sit down and said: "According to the strategy of the headquarters, we will make major adjustments." The campaign for a powerful offensive west of Lake Baikal and in Irkusko, scheduled for May this year, was canceled. Leng Yifei, Khalid, and Li Tianxiang couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, and their faces showed an expression of surprise.

Deng Zixuan continued: "I know that the three of you have drawn up a battle plan, but after our repeated deliberations, we have to cancel the battle of Irkusco. You should be aware of how much manpower and material resources were used in the northward campaign we launched last year. You should remember the pressure on logistics and supplies. We occupied the area west of Lake Baikal, and the Russian army did not carry out counterattacks. Is this weishenme? ”

Deng Zixuan glanced at everyone and continued: "Frankly speaking, the strategy of the coalition headquarters to exchange time for air space has not changed at all. They supported Russia with all their might, buying time even if Russia was beaten to pieces. The coalition forces want us to continue to advance towards the Russian border, so that our front line will be stretched and Zuihou will drag us down. If we launch an offensive towards Irkusko, huge logistical supplies will be unsustainable. Our soldiers will be in a very difficult situation. ”

"Not fighting a war for which we are uncertain and not for which we are unprepared is our military principle. We can't do what the enemy wants. As you may not know, the Russian railway has reached Irkusko, so its logistical supply capacity is much stronger than ours, which is the main reason for the cancellation of the Battle of Irkusko. Occupation zone east of Lake Baikal. I'm going to recuperate for two years. Good news for everyone. In May next year, the railway from Xi'an to Urumqi will be completed in its entirety, and at that time we will launch a campaign in Xinjiang, with the aim of taking over the whole of Xinjiang. ”

Deng Zixuan paused and continued: "Maybe everyone here wants to ask, the Battle of Irkusco has been canceled, what are we doing this year?" Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, soldiers are not tired of deceit, surprise, is the ancestors left us military treasure. We're going to strike where the enemy doesn't expect it. That is to attack Taiwan. But to attack Taiwan, it is necessary to gain sea supremacy. Without sea supremacy, we will not be able to guarantee a powerful attack corps and launch a sea-crossing operation. ”

Fan Tao and Liu Buzhan glanced at each other when they heard this, and their faces showed expressions of surprise. Deng Zixuan continued: "You may know what I am going to talk about next, there is no doubt that mastering sea control is the prerequisite for attacking Taiwan. In this regard, our young navy must attack, and only after the baptism of brutal naval warfare can our young navy grow up and become stronger. The task of the navy is to control the sea control in the Taiwan Strait and ensure the absolute security of the landing and attack corps. ”

Deng Zixuan ended his tirade and said: "Next, please ask the chief of the general staff to introduce the situation of the coalition forces!" Pei Gejin stood up and walked to the huge military map and said: "According to the information provided by the CIA, we learned that the Pacific Combined Fleet of the coalition forces, there are about 500 large and small warships, 12 all-steel new main battleships, which belong to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets, and the rest are gunboats, old-fashioned sail warships, etc. ”

Pei Gejin continued: "At present, the 1st Pacific Fleet of the coalition forces is stationed in the Philippines, the 2nd Fleet is stationed in Taiwan, and the 3rd Fleet is stationed in Tokyo, Japan. We are mainly facing the coalition Pacific 2nd Fleet, which is stationed in Taiwan. The 2nd Fleet has 130 large and small warships, including 4 all-steel warships, and the battleships HMS London, HMS Birmingham and HMS Breaking Waves, which were launched last year, are in service. It has a displacement of 5,500 tons, 250 mm front and rear main guns, and a total of 16 130 mm side guns. ”

Pei Gejin continued with a majestic expression: "Another all-steel battleship is the USS Washington battleship, with 200 mm main guns and 130 mm side rotating guns, and a displacement of 4,200 tons. In addition, the 2nd Fleet of the Allied Forces has 22 old-fashioned sail steam warships, all with a displacement of less than 2,000 tons. The 2nd Fleet of the Allied Forces had 40 gunboats, 30 torpedo boats, 20 transport ships, 12 minesweepers, and 2 other ships. ”

Pei Gejin continued; According to the accurate information provided by the Central Intelligence Force, the flagships of the 2nd Fleet of the coalition forces, the London and Birmingham, led more than 70 large and small warships to be stationed in Keelung Harbor in northern Taiwan. The USS Breaking Waves and the USS Washington led large and small warships to stationed in Kaohsiung Port in Tainan. At present, almost all of our South China Sea Fleet is torpedo boats, and they are mainly responsible for coastal defense and protecting the safety of coastal transportation lines. ”

"Our North Sea Fleet, except for the captured Northern Expedition battleship, which is a steel battleship, the rest is composed of warships left by the former Beiyang Naval Division, and the Northern Expedition battleship is currently being requisitioned to join the East China Sea Fleet. At the moment the East China Sea Fleet is our most powerful fleet. The battleships Zhonghua and Shenzhou, which had just been launched, had a displacement of 8,000 tons, Shanghai and Fujian, with a displacement of 2,500 tons, and the Northern Expedition had a displacement of 1,500 tons, and the Lincoln captured off the coast of the Majiang River was named the battleship Awakening, with a displacement of 2,000 tons. 6. The strongest facelift of all-steel battleships is our confidence in dealing with enemy ships. ”

“??????。 Ladies and gentlemen, the entire East China Sea Fleet, we have concentrated 120 warships, and this is the case. At present, Taiwan's garrison is mainly the Japanese army, with a total strength of about 200,000 people. Pei Gejin's eyes were redirected at Deng Zixuan. Deng Zixuan said: "The situation introduced by the chief of staff is mainly for the two of you to hear. Fan Tao and Liu Buzhan stood up and replied: "I understand! Deng Zixuan continued: "The 2nd Fleet of the Allied Forces is stationed in Taiwan, one south and one north, which has created conditions for us to concentrate superior forces to annihilate combat strength. ”

Chen Jintang stood up and said: "First of all, I issued an order from the headquarters, and the headquarters decided to launch the Taiwan Campaign and form the Southeast Front Army, with the 1st Army and the 2nd Army requisitioned by the Central Cluster and the Eastern Army forming the main attack corps, and the Southeast Coastal Border Garrison Force forming the secondary attack corps, with a total strength of 200,000 troops. Nie Fengwu! "Here!" Nie Fengwu stood up. "The headquarters has decided to appoint you as the commander of the Southeastern Front!" "Humble Order."

"Liu Mingchuan!" "Here!" "The headquarters has decided to appoint you as the deputy commander of the Southeast Front!" "Humble Order!" Liu Mingchuan's face showed joy. Chen Jintang continued: "The key to the Taiwan campaign is to control Taiwan's sea dominance, Fan Tao and Liu Buzhan!" "Here!" The two of them stood up. "The headquarters decided to feint on the Penghu Islands, lure the enemy ships in Tainan to dispatch, and then encircle and annihilate them, and the specific campaign Jihua you will plan by yourself, and the campaign will be launched on April 1." "Humble Order!" Fan Tao and Liu Buzhan replied loudly.

Zuihou Deng Zixuan stood up and said: "The key to the Taiwan campaign is whether we gain sea control over the Taiwan Strait, and whether the Taiwan campaign can be victorious, the key is the naval battle. In the past, we used the means of sneak attacks and won naval battles, and they were still small-scale. This time we were fighting against a formidable opponent, and it was a large-scale naval battle. The foreigners have been galloping across the ocean for hundreds of years, and they have a lot of experience in naval warfare, so don't underestimate our opponents, after all, we are too young. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "The cruelty and uncertainty of naval warfare are not something that can be done by being brave and fearless. If we fight with foreigners, we can't afford to lose. How to get the maximum results at the least cost is a question for you to consider. I believe that the young navy of the Empire will live up to expectations, and I look forward to your results. "Please rest assured that the president will never disappoint your expectations and resolutely complete the task!" Fan Tao's eyes are firm and confident.

After the military meeting, Fan Tao, Liu Buzhan, Nie Fengwu, and Liu Mingchuan boarded the southbound train non-stop. The train was running on the vibrant field, and in the carriage, Nie Fengwu said: "Commander Fan, the Taiwan campaign is all up to you." It is up to us to land on the beach, but the safety of the sea depends on you! Liu Ming said: "Commander Fan, the headquarters brakes Jihua very smartly, Kaohsiung Port is only a day's journey from the Penghu Islands, and Keelung Port will take at least two days to support the Penghu Islands. ”

Liu Buzhan said: "What Deputy Commander Liu said is not wrong, once we launch a feint, the enemy fleet in Kaohsiung will get the news, Keelung will also get the news, and the enemy ships will be dispatched." Commander Fan, if we can't eat the Tainan Fleet as soon as possible and the Taipei Fleet comes up with support, we will suffer from the enemy in the belly. Fan Tao said with a stern face: "The importance of the Penghu Islands to the island of Taiwan is well known to the enemy. There should be no problem in eating the Tainan enemy fleet, the key is not to let him retract, this is something I have to consider. In addition, how to eat them at the lowest cost is also a top priority. (To be continued......)
