Chapter 379: General Attack on the Far East (4)(1/2)
,
spn "The decisive battle between China and Japan may begin!" Zhang Shusheng put down the Hanking Daily in his hand. The headline on the front page was about the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese armies in North Korea. The interpretation in the newspaper was that China and Japan may begin a decisive battle.
.The newspaper described in a very exciting tone that one day, the navy of the National Defense Force will operate in the Tsushima Strait and Japan Sea.
Cruising in Tokyo Bay, the air force of the National Defense Force will gallop over Japan's archipelago, and the Army of the National Defense Force will set foot on every piece of land in Japan.
"This commentator is a real hardcore person. He actually suggested that Japan implement military control after the war to completely eliminate the emperor's imperial power and the influence of the military on the Japanese people. If this report is seen by the emperor
, I’ll probably be so scared that the scars on my body won’t hurt anymore.”
After clicking on the newspaper, Zhang Shusheng smiled and said to Wei Sancai, Minister of Propaganda Department, Li Yuren, Minister of Operations, Jiang Baili, Chief of General Staff, and Luo Feng of Special Intelligence Department who were sitting opposite.
"Yes, Chairman. In accordance with your instructions, we have been exaggerating our hatred against Japan in various domestic media for the past two months. Many film and television dramas related to anti-Japanese themes have also been broadcast recently, which has caused a stir in society.
Strong response." Wei Sancai
He said happily, "Director Luo said that after Hirohito saw these reversal reports, there was another small-scale ground battle in the direction of Sinuiju that was stirring up the nerves of the entire Japan. This thing who was lucky enough to survive became even more convinced that we would attack North Korea."
."[
Throughout May, in addition to the countdown to troop mobilization and logistical supplies, the Republic also took continuous political and public actions. Foreign Minister Li Zongren summoned the ambassadors of important Axis member states many times to discuss secret matters. In terms of public opinion, in addition to those arranged by the Propaganda Department,
Nationwide anti-Japanese
In addition to propaganda, the Supreme Power Council announced to the outside world that China has never given up the pursuit and accountability of Japanese war criminals before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At the appropriate time, China will organize a military trial against Japan.
Court to try those past and present Japanese war criminals.
This was like a heavy punch hitting the hearts of Japanese people, especially Japan's senior military and political personnel. There were calls for a tougher deal with China, and there were even calls for counterattacks.
From the private sector to the "government", from the movements of the military to the dense relevant intelligence collected by Japanese military agents, everything is warning that Pyongyang will fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle in Korea.
"Hirohito became so angry that he summoned Hideki Tojo three times in one night. It was said that the old guy didn't even bother to eat dinner. Hirohito's efforts were not fruitless. More than a thousand US military aircraft and more than 2,000 high-speed missiles were waiting for him.
There are countless guns and other supplies. It is said that these aircraft aiding Japan also include the 86 Saber fighter, the main jet fighter currently in service of the U.S. Air Force, which is more powerful than the Poseidon F fighter used by the Navy.
Be stronger.
Moreover, the U.S. military is helping the Japanese to transform their Sakura jet fighters. The Japanese acquired some of the technology they brought back piecemeal from Germany when they joined the Allies, and the Sakura jets still have certain combat capabilities."
When Luo Feng saw everyone looking at him, he opened his mouth and said this. Apart from Zhang Shusheng, he was the person who knew the most about various situations in Japan.
Everyone talked again about the implementation of the Iron Shoe Plan, mainly Jiang Baili introduced the preparations for the war zone.
"At present, our 2 million troops have been deployed to the transition zone between the Far East Theater and the Northeast Theater. Among them, the more than 700,000 heavy troop clusters on the China-North Korea border are exchanged with reinforcements and troops from the Northeast Theater.
It seems that the troops are reinforcing the border between China and North Korea. In fact, the troops in the Northeast are replacing the defense, and our reinforcements are directly deployed to the handover zone between the Northeast Theater and the Far East Theater.
The safe time of concealment will not be very long, but it is enough for the plan. It only needs to complete the layer-by-layer defense changes, and the rear troops will move the front troops forward to complete this series of reinforcement plans...
In terms of supplies, it is mainly to replenish some advanced weapons and equipment and "medicine". Some new weapons have also been transferred from the rear to the Far East Theater. Other supplies are mainly to open several strategic warehouses in the Northeast Theater for use in the Far East Theater, and to replenish the supplies in the rear.
These warehouses."
Jiang Baili briefly mentioned that there will naturally be detailed plans and report documents, and high-level military and political internal affairs officials will let everyone review them.
After everyone had said what they needed to say, they looked at Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng drank the tea and said, "The scale of this Iron Shoe Plan is huge, the troops and material resources mobilized are unprecedented, and the new weapons and new tactics used on a large scale will be reflected in many aspects of the plan.
The large-scale and ultra-large-scale electronic battlefield interdiction and jamming test conducted in the desert area of northwest China last month once again proved that we have the conditions and have enough electronic warfare aircraft and advanced equipment to conduct such an actual combat in the Far East.
We have used the same tactics many times in sea attacks and the enemy has used them on the border between the two countries or in naval battles. However, this is the first time that large-scale or even ultra-large-scale electronic interdiction has been implemented on the battlefield. I hope that this advanced tactic can
Disrupt the deployment, mobilization, reinforcements and response of the Allied forces to achieve a different kind of battlefield surprise."
After a pause, he said, "In addition, the Allied-controlled areas in the Far East are very suitable for armor deployment. In anti-armor operations, the era of tank-to-tank bombardment will gradually pass. The firepower of mobile artillery groups will be covered by tanks such as armed helicopters and attack aircraft."
Killers must be fully used and used on a large scale. This is the key point that I have given instructions on in the plan.
The last point is also the most important point.
We have always been a leader in the world in special operations. Whether it is the Dragon Teeth Special Division or the Tiger Special Forces, we have enough special forces units. Their expansion is so that after the era of total war comes, our National Defense Forces can fight on all battlefields.
[
If a regiment of the Tiger Division and a battalion of the Longya Special Forces fail to achieve good results in the general offensive in the Far East Theater, I will personally hold the Special Forces Commander He An accountable after the war."
Except for Jiang Baili and Su Yuren, those present here don't actually know the details of the plan, but Zhang Shusheng now slowly talked about it, which can be regarded as revealing some key points in this iron hoof plan.
The introduction of new weapons and the bold application of new tactics will be an important part of this general offensive plan to mobilize tens of thousands of troops.
Zhang Shusheng is confident that the National Defense Force, which has kept a low profile for so many years, will allow Westerners who have long been accustomed to being shocked by the "Chinese" army to once again see the great miracles performed by the Chinese yellow race.
〖Japan〗 Japan, Hokkaido, Hakodate, a military camp of a local division of the Japanese army.
The core military camp of the heavily guarded Japanese 35th Division has been taken over by the military police, and even the streets near the Hakodate military camp are under military control.
A group of officers dressed in the uniforms of Japanese generals walked quickly into a conference room. From time to time, several people wearing the uniforms of US military generals were welcomed into the conference room.
"General Bradley, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, I welcome you to Japan."
When several Japanese generals led by Hideki Tojo saw the Americans coming, they stepped forward and bowed deeply to show their sincerity.
Just half a year ago, when Tojo Hideki asked to see General Patton at the Allied Forces Command in the Far East, his waist was not bent so much. However, the current situation was tense, and today's military officials had to change their originally servile attitude.
The waist is bent even more sharply.
This secret meeting was initiated by Bradley. He had just succeeded Patton and was deeply worried about the problems in the Far East.
General Patton went to Europe in style to serve as theater commander, where there would be the Allies' most powerful army, the most warships, the most advanced jet fighter fleets, and the most tanks. But the Far East would only be a mess.
Putting aside his personal psychological problems, General Bradley still very much hopes that the Far East Theater can achieve some victories under his command. At least being able to maintain a defensive position against the [Chinese] ** troops is his psychological bottom line.
But now, in his opinion, there are not big problems on the main battlefield in the Far East Theater. With the presence of Soviet and American troops, as well as a steady stream of local supplies, it should not be too difficult to hold on. The key lies in North Korea. Once North Korea is lost,〖
Japan is in danger. As soon as Japan is finished, the Far East Theater can declare a countdown to destruction, or in other words, the countdown to becoming the territory of China has begun.
The other generals went to hand over and discuss other matters. Bradley and Tojo Hideki only brought two confidential secretaries to participate in the secret talks.
"Your Excellency Hideki Tojo, what do you think of the current situation in North Korea?" Bradley asked first.
"The military department unanimously believes that the possibility of the Chinese attacking North Korea and subsequently carrying out the attack on Japan is very high, far exceeding the possibility of a feint attack.
General, you may not be aware of the hatred between our two countries. It is a life-or-death situation where we cannot coexist.
We currently have only over 1.2 million troops stationed in North Korea. Together with the planned reinforcements, there are approximately 2 million soldiers who can participate in the war.
In other aspects, whether it is weapons and equipment, logistical supplies, or ground transportation, we are all lagging behind the [Chinese] people."
Tojo Hideki said without reservation.
"It seems that the situation has become serious enough that a response must be made." Although Bradley had already made the worst prediction about the situation in North Korea, this situation started from Tojo Hideki, the head of Japan's military department.
Even though it was said in person, it is still difficult for people to accept it. Could it be that the whole "Japan" cannot really stop the "China" people? [
"General, it's not that our [Japanese] empire is powerful, but our strategic depth is too small, and [Japanese] Japan is too close to [China]."
Tojo Hideki said angrily.
Bradley nodded noncommittally, "According to the estimates of General Patton and Marshal Zhukov, the [Chinese] actions in North Korea are likely to be a feint attack, and the real target is likely to be the Far East. I have ordered the entire theater to dig further trenches and request
Domestic efforts to increase supplies are being prepared to deal with any sudden situation.
As for North Korea and Japan, I have requested that the U.S. 9th Air Force be stationed in the Far East theater, and about 12 aviation fighter groups will be stationed in various parts of Japan. This request has been approved by the president." "God, this is really a challenge.
Great news!!!”
Jijo Hideki, who did not believe in God at all, was so excited when he heard what Bradley said. An aviation force was deployed to support the Far East Theater, which meant that a total of thousands of fighter jets and bombers would be dispatched.
To the Far East, the number of U.S. fighter jets in the Far East alone will reach the size of an air force and a half, and the bomber brigade of the air force will greatly enhance the Allied air anti-bombing and ground support capabilities.
"Perhaps you should thank General Patton. This is a request jointly made by him and me. However, in order to avoid bad effects, our internal declaration is to assist in the defense of Japan. But you can rest assured that we will assist in the defense of Japan.
Even the aircraft involved in the air battle over North Korea will be a group of jet fighters."
Bradley waved his hand and said humorously, "Now that we no longer lack jet fighters, the sky will no longer be a "Dragon Corridor" densely populated by Chinese people." Tojo Hideki stood up again, bent down to express his gratitude, but his heart was filled with emotion.
Thinking of the emergency support aircraft from the Americans and the assisting defense force of this half of the air force, it is not impossible for Japan to reverse its decline, and perhaps implement the plan to counterattack the Northeast at the appropriate time.
Bradley finally stood up and said seemingly relaxedly, "All this requires you to make a little effort. The increase in troops in the Far East battlefield must be accelerated, not 500,000 but 1.5 million. We will help you transport these troops and
It must be completed within one month, even if it means reducing the local troops." When Tojo Hideki heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and it turned out that the Americans were already waiting for him here.
〖Japan〗Do you still have conditions to refuse to agree, even if these troops will become obvious cannon fodder on the battlefield in the Far East...
At night, there is a field military airport in the suburbs of Harbin.
The plane on which General Huo Weiguo, commander of the Far East Theater Command, had just landed, was led by an Air Force major general and a team of pilots running to the tarmac.
"Reporting to Commander Huo, Weng Yang, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Air Force Electronic Warfare Division, is leading all the pilots of the 1st Squadron to report to you." Major General Weng Yang reported loudly.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Weng. I couldn't sit still when I heard that you had arrived. I came over overnight to have a look to put my mind at ease."
Huo Weiguo looked across the crowd at the seven or eight large transport aircraft on the tarmac in the distance, and said with emotion, "Let's go and show me around these big guys. I have heard about the reputation of your electronic warfare division for a long time, but this
This is the first time I have seen the real .3 Bat God electronic warfare aircraft.
." "Our troops have a high degree of confidentiality and have never had any opportunities to show off or stand out. The few times we participated in the war, we took action as soon as we came up and then withdrew after taking action. Our popularity is a bit low. Haha, Commander Huo, please."
Major General Weng Yang led everyone towards the large .3 Bat God electronic warfare aircraft.
The other pilots returned to their respective aircraft to inspect the aircraft. Weng Yang and two staff officers from the Far East Theater accompanied Huo Weiguo to board the aircraft to visit the aircraft.
