Chapter 572: Xiao Zhuge 's Plan

After an hour of frantic shelling by the Vietnamese fleet, the 1st Division of Cam Ranh Bay players, under the command of Wu Peifu, launched a fierce attack on Keelung Harbor. In order to quickly complete the strategic plan, Wu Peifu invested a regiment of troops in the first attack, relying on superior firepower to storm the Japanese beach defense line in Keelung.

The players shouted excitedly one by one, needless to say, the hatred of the Chinese people for Japan, and fighting devils in the game is the most exciting. This kind of must-win battle that ravages the devils can mobilize the enthusiasm of the player even more, and before the two NPC divisions are in battle, the player troops have already defeated Keelung.

The Japanese held out for only two hours, and the main force of their troops was sent to the south, and the disadvantage was too great. After capturing Keelung, Wu Peifu immediately ordered two divisions led by Yang Sen and Sun Chuanfang to advance southward, and conquered Taipei County all the way. Most of the main forces of the Japanese in the north were rushing to the south by sea, and they were unable to organize a defense at all.

After covering the landing of the army, the Vietnamese fleet pursued the Japanese troop carriers along the coastline, and the main fleet in Cam Ranh Bay also sent a detachment to intercept them. The troops of a brigade of the Japanese army at sea did not dare to move in the north-south direction, and after receiving the order from the base camp, this main force drove in the direction of Korea.

Two weeks later, Sun Chuanfang and Yang Sen commanded troops to sweep through the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan, all the way to Kaohsiung County in the south. Due to Japan's major strategic mistakes, there was no longer any possibility of reversing its defeat, and the treasure islands ceded to Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki were about to return.

Major newspapers in China overwhelmingly reported this incident, calling it a miracle through the ages, and the prestige of Chen Baxian and Wu Peifu rose again. Mr. Chen's popularity reached the full value of 100 points, and when the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party were still in civil war, there was public opinion in China calling for him to be the president and reorganize the government.

On the forum, the name Chen Baxian was also completely popular, reaching the point where women and children knew it, because he had completed a great feat. The official mouthpiece even reported on the matter on the front page. called the player Chen Baxian a young and promising young man, and believed that Chen Baxian should announce his real identity and accept the honor given by the official.

Chen Hao remained silent again, as his status in the game became higher and higher, the more likely he was to lose his freedom after revealing his identity. When Wu Peifu commanded the army to attack the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan, he followed the fleet to Inchon and joined the advance detachment of the Russian Pacific Fleet. The Russian Army stationed in the Northern Dynasties. It was also on this day that a fierce assault was launched, preparing to take down Seoul, which was controlled by the Japanese, in one fell swoop.

When the Cam Ranh Bay troops attacked Taiwan with all their might, the tsar expressed strong dissatisfaction, believing that Cam Ranh Bay did not keep its promises. Chen Hao promised the tsar that the Korean War would not affect cooperation with Russia, and that soon the two main divisions attacking Taiwan would leave for Korea. The Tsar's promise to Lord Chen was not taken seriously, and it was not until Wu Peifu commanded the troops to fight in the south for two weeks that the Tsar accepted his explanation.

After Taiwan's liberation, Zhang Yi, commander of the Cam Ranh Bay Garrison Division, sent an independent brigade to Taiwan to garrison it. The 5th and 6th NPC divisions were escorted to Inchon by the Vietnamese fleet. Together with Bai Chongxi's 7th Division, which was the first to arrive at Incheon, Cam Ranh Bay sent three divisions to Korea, and the 6th Division led by Xiong Kewu landed in the north to cooperate with the Russian army in accordance with the requirements of the Russian side.

After the confluence of the Cam Ranh Bay Navy with the Russian Navy, the naval tonnage surpassed that of the world's strongest Britain, and three times more than that of the Japanese. Tsar Nicholas II believed that this battle could be won 100%, and advocated that the combined fleet block the Japanese sea supply lines and first unite to control Korea.

The emperor of Japan has convened many imperial meetings to discuss countermeasures, and the Japanese base camp is also in a hurry. This kind of situation is too bad for Japan. In order to redeem the disadvantage, the Japanese NPC high-level frantically released quests. Recruit the Inhuman Navy to join the Imperial fleet. Japanese players also do not want the historical plot of Japan's rise to change, and have brought warships into the Japanese Navy, striving to surpass the Golden Russian coalition in tonnage.

When Chen Hao was thinking about how to call on the Huaxia player navy to participate in the war on the forum, Yuan Shikai sent him a telegram and proposed a cooperation agreement that made him excited. Lao Yuan said that the Beiyang government could declare war on Japan, but Chen Hao had to declare that Cam Ranh Bay was also part of China. And expressed his willingness to support the Beiyang government.

Chen Hao successfully recovered Taiwan, which put great pressure on Yuan Shikai, and he wanted to share the fruits of victory when he saw that the Golden Russian coalition was strong. Chen Hao has a firm grip on Cam Ranh Bay, and there is nothing wrong with nominally recognizing Cam Ranh Bay as a Chinese concession in Vietnam, and it is nothing to express his support for the Beiyang government. So he decisively agreed to Yuan Shikai's conditions.

Of course, Yuan Shikai did not just declare war verbally, he had to make full use of his mission authority to recruit a large number of Inhuman troops to fight in Korea. On July 20, 1913, Yuan Shikai declared war on Japan on behalf of Beiyang, and at the same time, Chen Baxian, the governor of the southwest, also issued a telegram saying that he firmly supported the Beiyang government and frankly admitted that Cam Ranh Bay was a Chinese concession in Vietnam.

After Yuan Shikai declared war on Japan, he immediately released a large-scale war mission "Korean War" in the name of the country, and a large number of players rushed to North Korea after receiving the mission. The number of players who own warships in China is no less than that of Japan, and after receiving large-scale war missions, players have commanded warships to go to Korea to participate in the war.

Japanese players are also all crazy, and a large number of players sign up for the army, ready to be commanded by NPCs to defend Korea to the death. Japan has already lost its treasure island of Taiwan, and if even North Korea loses it, their dream of rising will be completely shattered. Neither the player nor the NPC can accept such an outcome, and they will fight to the end in Korea.

Players from China, Russia, Japan, and North Korea gather in Korea in large numbers, but the number of players participating in the mission is limited, and the number of players participating in the war cannot exceed twice as many as the NPCs. Before Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian Combined Fleet blocked the sea lines of communication, the Japanese Navy frantically transported troops to Korea, and the number of Japanese troops stationed in Korea continued to rise.

The Japanese were cautious, and since the navy was at a complete disadvantage, they did not dare to send the main fleet for a decisive battle. When Japan and Russia signed the agreement, Inchon was in the hands of the Japanese, and the advance fleet of Cam Ranh Bay attacked Incheon, and the Japanese did not send naval support. With the cooperation of the commander of the advance fleet, Li Zhun, Bai Chongxi performed well in commanding the landing operation and defeated Inchon at the minimum cost.

Chen Hao arrived at Incheon on the flagship Huaxia, and he handed over naval affairs to Chen Shaokuan and summoned Bai Chongxi to inquire about the battle situation. After listening to Bai Chongxi's report, he praised a few words, and at this moment, Bai Chongxi took out a battle plan and said a little shyly: "My lord, the Russian side asked us to send troops to cooperate as soon as possible, so this battle plan was formulated." ”

The plan for the war against Japan was drawn up by the General Staff, but that was at the strategic level, and most of the battle plans formulated by Bai Chongxi were from the tactical level. Chen Hao took over Bai Chongxi's battle plan with great interest and found that this battle plan system was recognized as A-level, and the probability of success was more than 60%.

The system judged that the success rate was 60%, which was based on the fact that the NPC troops in Cam Ranh Bay were armed to the teeth when the weapons and equipment of the two sides were not much different, so the success rate of this battle plan should be above 80%. After Chen Hao read the battle plan, he immediately made a decision and sent Bai Chongxi to lead the 7th Division to attack Suwon south of Seoul.

The Russian 80,000 NPC troops have arrived north of Seoul, and the player troops are also arriving in a steady stream, and Commander Kulopatkin asks the Cam Ranh Bay side to cut off the Japanese retreat.

The last time Japan and Russia went to war in Korea, the Japanese Third Army was cut off from retreating, and this time the Japanese attached great importance to the southward retreat. Suwon, south of Seoul, was not far from Incheon, and after Inchon was captured by Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese commander Gentaro Kodama drew a brigade to garrison it. At the same time, there is a brigade of troops in the south that is heading north, and 20,000 Japanese players have also received the task of defending Suwon, and they will arrive in Suwon in three days.

Bai Chongxi believed that if the Japanese army was allowed to control Suwon, Cam Ranh Bay's troops at Inchon would not be able to deploy, and they could only join the Russian army north of Seoul to fight. According to the agreement between Cam Ranh Bay and Russia, if that were the case, the troops in Cam Ranh Bay would have to be under the command of the Russians, and they would still be engaged in offensive and defensive battles with huge casualties. He suggested marching ahead of time, concentrating on taking Suwon and holding it before Japanese reinforcements arrived in Suwon, and countering the Russian forces to the north.

Bai Chongxi is known as "Little Zhuge ", it is not surprising that he can think of this Chen Hao, but Bai Chongxi's follow-up plan made him stunned. If Bai Chongxi's deployment can be realized, the time for attacking Seoul will be greatly shortened, and the situation of the Japanese army in Korea will be even more difficult after the loss of Seoul.

Wu Peifu was the commander of the war against Japan, but Wu Peifu was still commanding operations in Taiwan, and in order to avoid missing the fighter plane, Bai Chongxi proposed a combat plan. After Chen Hao adopted Bai Chongxi's suggestion, he ordered him to lead the Seventh Division and a patchwork division player unit to march to Suwon to launch an attack.

Garrisoned in Suwon was an NPC brigade of the Japanese army, inferior to Bai Chongxi in terms of strength, but Japanese reinforcements would arrive on the battlefield in three days. Bai Chongxi only had three days to spare, and after rushing to Suwon, he immediately commanded the player's troops to launch a fierce attack. Ten thousand players attacked for twelve hours without a moment's pause, and all players hung up almost once.

Although Bai Chongxi was still young, he seemed very calm and did not give up because of excessive casualties. In the wee hours of the morning, he was still directing the player's troops to attack, and he only ordered a halt when he lost the player's reserves.

The long-term uninterrupted attack exhausted the garrison Japanese troops, and the Japanese were relieved to find that the Chinese had stopped attacking, and many of them fell asleep. Less than an hour after the Japanese army rested, the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese army roared again, and Bai Chongxi commanded the NPC Seventh Division to launch a fierce attack.

The NPC troops' combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the player, and the exhausted Japanese army was unprepared, coupled with the low walls of Suwon, and was quickly broken through the defense line by the Sharp Knife team. (To be continued......)
