Chapter 571: The Role of the Violator
PS: (Thank you for the precious monthly ticket voted by Heilong and Dongfeng)
Cam Ranh Bay and Russia declared war on Japan, and the most angry were the Japanese, whose hatred for Cam Ranh Bay can be described as unforgettable. If it weren't for the damned Cam Ranh Bay troublemaker, Russia would have been defeated a long time ago, and in the past two years, the Japanese have rebuilt their navy, and the army has also increased by six divisions. I thought that after the strength was greatly increased, I would be able to have an advantage in the face of Russia, but the damned Cam Ranh Bay intervened again at this time.
The Japanese government lodged a protest with Huaxia, and after Yuan Shikai received the Japanese envoy from Beiyang, he strictly ordered Chen Baxian not to act arbitrarily. Of course, this is just a superficial job, Lao Yuan gave the Japanese face, but privately sent a telegram to Lord Chen to let Lord Chen act cheaply. In the end, Lao Yuan told the Japanese that Cam Ranh Bay was not under his jurisdiction and he was powerless to influence Chen Baxian's decision.
Yuan Shikai's approach made Chen Hao quite pleased, and at the same time, it also added a lot of impression points to Lao Yuan, and made public opinion feel much better about him. The domestic revolutionary party fought vigorously, and after declaring war on Japan, Chen Daren immediately transported four divisions of the army to Cam Ranh Bay. At the same time, the Cam Ranh Bay Navy was also actively preparing for war, ready to go to the Yellow Sea at any time to fight with the Russian fleet.
The revolutionary party and the Beiyang government were vying for power and profit, but Lord Chen was resisting the barbarians, and the grade was suddenly much higher. Under the unremitting praise of Wang Ying and other newspaper people, Chen Daren's popularity reached 98 points, surpassing Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai. With such a high prestige value, he has no problem ascending to the throne when the conditions are ripe.
In addition to the overwhelming praise of Lord Chen in the game, the forum was also very lively, with a large number of players signing up to participate in the war. Chen Hao posted on the forum, saying that all players who are willing to fight Japan can sign up to go to Korea to participate in the war. He had already reached an agreement with the commander of the Russian Far East, Kulopatkin, that the Chinese aliens would participate in combat missions against Japan. All Russian officers will be treated the same as Russian aliens.
The Cam Ranh Bay naval advance fleet set out, consisting of two dreadnoughts, four Invincible-class battlecruisers, and twelve troop carriers. The advance fleet is responsible for escorting four divisions of land forces to fight in Korea, and the main fleet will go to Luda to join the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet and jointly cut off the Japanese sea lines of communication.
After the declaration of war on Japan in Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan were very nervous and strengthened the defense of the major ports. After the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Taiwan became a Japanese colony, and the Japanese plundered all kinds of resources, causing the local people to resist bravely. The Japanese base camp believes that Taiwan is more attractive to Cam Ranh Bay than North Korea in terms of geographical location and strategic significance, and that Cam Ranh Bay may attack Taiwan first after joining forces with Russia.
The Japanese base camp strictly ordered the troops stationed in Taiwan to strictly defend it, and if Cam Ranh Bay launched a landing operation, it would hold out for more than 10 days no matter what. At the same time, the base camp considered recruiting two garrison divisions again in Japan and sending two divisions to support Taiwan, but the intelligence collected by the spies made the Japanese abandon this plan.
Yuji Yanagi, a spy lurking in Cam Ranh Bay, said that the Chinese were indeed preparing to attack Taiwan. And a battle plan was drawn up, but it was strongly opposed by the Russian envoy. The Russians resolutely claimed that Cam Ranh Bay had no sincerity in cooperating in doing so, and that there was absolutely no reason for Russia to fight a bloody war with the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula, but Cam Ranh Bay took the opportunity to occupy Taiwan.
In the end, Cam Ranh Bay had to compromise and said that it would make every effort to land in Korea to cooperate with the Russians and attack Taiwan after the war. Yuji Yanagi was very capable, and he found out all the information about the negotiations between Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian side. And this information is true. It was precisely because of this valuable information that the Japanese base camp canceled the plan to increase troops in Taiwan.
Port of Toulon, Vietnam. Wu Peifu was sitting in the makeshift war room, chatting with Chen Shaokuan. He opened a battle plan and put it on the table, Chen Shaokuan gave a thumbs up after reading the battle plan and said, "Wonderful! Brother Wu arranged it so properly, the Japanese couldn't help but be fooled, and most of them could settle the battle in one battle. ”
Wu Peifu shook his head and said, "This battle plan is not my credit. It is mainly made by the chief of staff and the chief of staff, and I am also an executor like you. ”
Item Name: S-Class Battle Plan
Item Type: Strategic Item
Item attributes: After the general carries the item, the strategic analysis attribute is +6, and the tactics are strictly executed according to the item, and the tactical success rate is 80%.
Wu Peifu was the first hero under Chen Hao, and Chen Hao originally made him the chief of the army. Cai Yi served as the chief of the General Staff, but Wu Peifu preferred to lead troops. After learning of the imminent war with Japan, Wu Peifu took the initiative to ask to resign from the post of army chief and ask Ying to be the commander-in-chief of operations against Japan.
Jiang Bailili's strategic analysis attribute is top-level, and he is more suitable to serve as the army chief than Wu Peifu, so Chen Hao agreed to Wu Peifu's request. In the game, after the player appoints the chief of the chief and the chief of the general staff, when the subordinate forces conduct large-scale operations, the two senior military officials can provide strategic guidance to generate some special items, and the S-class battle plan in Wu Peifu's hand is the result of Jiang Baili and Cai Yi's efforts.
As a result of the first collaboration between the two famous generals, the system has set the battle plan as S-level for the first time, increasing the strategic analysis by 6 points and making the possibility of the battle plan being realized by 80%. The information that Yuji Aoki found was indeed true, but that was because Cam Ranh Bay had deceived its allies together. Just like when playing basketball, clever feints not only deceive the opponent, but sometimes also deceive the teammates. Such a move may cause misunderstanding and mistake by teammates, but it can deceive the opponent 100%.
The Cam Ranh Bay advance team sent out twelve large troop carriers, but there was only one NPC division on board, and most of them were empty. Three other NPC divisions secretly sailed to the port of Toulon in Vietnam, and one more division of player troops, who would land from northern Taiwan under the command of Wu Peifu with the cooperation of the Vietnamese fleet.
That's right! In order to completely paralyze the Japanese, Chen Hao was not ready to use the Cam Ranh Bay fleet and the Huaxia Navy to cooperate with the army, but let the warships under Ruan Zhiwen serve as the main force. Nguyen Zhiwen had a large number of cruisers and destroyers under his command, and there were also two battle cruisers, although the force in a decisive battle at sea was not strong, but it was enough to cooperate with the land landing.
The Japanese base camp was very cautious, and even if they believed Yuji Aoki's intelligence, they did not let their guard down. It was not until the main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay joined up with the Huaxia Fleet commanded by Sa Zhenbing in the South China Sea and formed a combined fleet to sail for Korea, that the Japanese completely believed that the Cam Ranh Bay troops would go to Korea to cooperate in the operation, rather than wanting to attack Taiwan.
The route chosen by the Cam Ranh Bay fleet made the Japanese somewhat depressed, and the fact that the fleet, led by two super battleships, was not far from the southern coast of Taiwan, which made the Japanese tremble. Such a huge fleet, even the main force of the Japanese navy, is not necessarily an opponent, and if there are enough marines on the Chinese warships to launch a landing operation, I am afraid that Taiwan will be in danger.
After confirming the route of the main naval fleet in Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese base camp ordered the garrison to be transferred from north to south after filling it up, so as to prevent Cam Ranh Bay from suddenly launching a landing operation in the south.
The Cam Ranh Bay Fleet joined the Huaxia Fleet and headed for Korea, attracting the attention of the whole world, and at this moment another fleet quietly set off. Standing on the deck, Ruan Zhiwen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, although he was fighting with Cam Ranh Bay this time, he could also gain great prestige if he won the victory.
Ruan Zhiwen's attributes as commander-in-chief of the navy are very poor, but this time he insisted on the title of commander-in-chief of the fleet, just to better enhance his prestige. Vietnam was also occupied by Japan in history, and if he Ruan Zhiwen declared war on Japan and cooperated with Cam Ranh Bay to defeat the Japanese, I believe his popularity in China would be even more explosive
Due to the Chinese naval division going to the South China Sea to cooperate with Cam Ranh Bay, the Japanese defense center of gravity could not be shifted, and the defense in the north was extremely lax. On April 3, 1913, the Huaxia fleet approached the waters near Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan, and the Japanese garrison was on standby. However, they were a false alarm, and the Chinese fleet swaggered to the east, without the slightest intention of attacking.
Just when the Japanese base camp was relieved, a jaw-dropping event occurred. On the afternoon of April 3, Nguyen Chi Van of Vietnam, the puppet king of the small country of Vietnam, publicly announced that he had declared war on Japan and announced that he would join the coalition forces of Cam Ranh Bay and Russia. Less than ten minutes after the declaration of war, the fleet under the command of Nguyen Chi Van appeared near Keelung Port, and all the warships anchored in the sea and frantically shelled Keelung.
In order to deal with the threat of the main fleet of China, the naval ships in Keelung Harbor have sailed to the south, and half of the army is still stationed on the warships. Now Keelung Port is empty and only one wing is stationed in it, and Wu Peifu, the commander of the Cam Ranh Bay operation against Japan, also appeared in Keelung at this time and commanded four divisions to launch a fierce attack.
Regardless of whether the Japanese NPCs or players are, no matter how rich their imagination is, they never thought that Vietnam would dare to declare war on Japan. What they didn't expect was that Vietnam's player fleet was not weak at all, and they quietly transported a large number of Chinese troops from the port of Toulon to Keelung. After receiving the report of the Vietnamese fleet attacking Keelung, Japanese Land Minister Kitaro was silent for a long time and then burst out a few words: "Taiwan is finished." ”
Katsura Taro was well aware of the current situation, the main fleet in Cam Ranh Bay was about to converge with the Russian Pacific Fleet, and at that time Japan did not have naval superiority. The route from Japan to Taiwan will be blocked, and Japan will not be able to send troops to support it at all, and if the troops stationed in Taiwan can prevent the Chinese from landing, there will still be a chance, but there is no need to have the slightest illusion now.
The Chinese put on a good show, deceived everyone, and easily occupied the northern part of Taiwan. What if Japan increased its troops? Even if the navy transports one or two divisions over at any cost, the Chinese have a geographical advantage, and they will definitely add more troops. To make matters worse, the damned Vietnamese monkeys also have quite a few land forces, and they may send their army to support the Chinese in their battles. (To be continued......)
