Chapter 1311 Ripped off the Americans
Thanks to book friend Shui Lanbing, who existed in 1999, and those who love books voted for it!
Liu Yimin knew that the first bombing of Japan in history was extremely strategically successful. It not only attracted the Japanese troops to dispatch troops to increase local air defense and attack China's coastal airports, but also attracted the Japanese Navy to launch the Coral Sea Navy and the Midway War. As a result, in the World War Midway, the Japanese Navy lost four aircraft carriers, and the Japanese Navy lost control of the Pacific battlefield. However, tactically speaking, the US military's first bombing of Japan completely failed, and 16 bombers were equivalent to annihilation of the entire army.
Since our army occupied Liaoning, Dalian, and Lushun as a base for bombing Japan, Liu Yimin should try to expand the results of the US military's bombing of Japan.
Thinking that the US military is ready to bomb Japan, and may set out tomorrow as in history, and will use 16 B25 bombers, Liu Yimin seemed to have seen the young faces of the brave American pilots.
Liu Yimin's judgment was true. After the US military was determined to bomb Japan for a revenge for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, it decided to use the Army Air B-25 bomber to take off from the aircraft carrier and bomb Japan's mainland. Since the aircraft carrier's flight deck was only 150 meters long and the B-25 bomber had a great difficulty in taking off at full load, the US military handed over this mission to Lieutenant Colonel Doride, a pilot who had participated in World War I. After receiving the mission, he selected 24 units and appropriately modified the B-25 aircraft. In March, after more than a month of training at the Iglin Air Force Base in Florida, USA, he successfully mastered the takeoff on the 150-meter runway.
Technology. At this time, the San Francisco military port was already busy. 16 B25 bombers had entered the hangar of the US Navy's USS Hornet aircraft carrier, 4 destroyers and one oil tanker had completed the supply, and were waiting to get the order to set off. The "Enterprise" aircraft carrier, which was responsible for the escort mission, did not wait for the "Hornet" at Pearl Harbor as in history, but advanced towards Midway Island and prepared to transport the 20th Air Force to the Northeast. Of course, the fleet that the US escorted the 20th Air Force could not reach the Lushun Military Port. They could only send the 20th Air Force to the waters that could fly to Dalian in Lushun. Then they turned around and joined the "Hornet".
Historically, on April 18, the US Navy's Special Mixed Fleet that bombed Japan was discovered by Japanese patrol guards about 1,300 kilometers away from Japan's mainland. The Japanese Joint Fleet Command immediately sent heavy troops to attack. Du Lidd immediately ordered the US aircraft to take off immediately. All aircraft were fighting and carried out daytime air strikes on Tokyo.
Liu Yimin did not need to modify the US military's combat plan. He only needed to tell the Americans to modify the departure time of the special mixed fleet that bombed Japan and the Japanese fleet. As long as he could reach the coast of Japan at night, he would not be afraid of being discovered by the Japanese armed reconnaissance ship. In the vast ocean, even if the Japanese reconnaissance ship found a fleet, he would probably think it was a Japanese fleet! In this way, the fleet could reach within 600 kilometers of Japan's land. In that case, the bomber formation could calmly return to the northeast after completing the bombing mission.
Especially when escorting the 20th Fleet's US warship fleet, you must also be well camouflaged and try to sail more at night to ensure safety. If you do it well, you can also allow the 20th Fleet's supply ships to enter the Lushun Military Port directly.
Liu Yimin asked Bao Ruid to tell him the detailed combat plan of the US Navy. Bao Ruid said he didn't know. Liu Yimin thought about it. How could Bao Ruid know about this kind of thing? Liu Yimin told Bao Ruid that he should send a telegram to Chief of Staff Marshall or Admiral Nimitz immediately. The first thing to do is to pretend to be the Japanese fleet. The second thing is to be sure to arrive more than 1,000 kilometers from the Sea of Japan at night, so that he can enter the offshore of Japan by taking off. For safety reasons, after the bomber takes off, the aircraft carrier formation will quickly evacuate to prevent being caught by the Japanese joint fleet.
This was just a very simple common sense word, but in Bao Ruid's ears, he felt like he was enlightened. The talks were immediately stopped and the members of the US military liaison team hurried back to their residence.
Li Fuchun complained that he did not talk to the Americans to support oil drilling in the Northeast, and the automobile production equipment was there, so the bag of Reed ran away.
Liu Yimin replied that Comrade Fuchun was too anxious. Americans would give those things, but this bag of Reed was just a contact group. He came to the Northeast to tell us when the 20th Air Force arrived and asked us to respond. It would be useless to tell him other things, and it would be told to a higher-level US Department of Commerce officials. Don't worry, the US Navy will launch a counterattack. In three months, the Japanese Navy will be in great trouble. At that time, it is very likely that the sea will be opened. Hehe, the Japanese army may have to consider how to defend their local area.
Liu Yimin said so optimistic, and Chen Yun and Li Fuchun were a little disbelief. They said they should first consider how to deal with the Japanese bombing. If the Japanese were bombed a few more times, Shenyang City would be blown up.
This is a practical problem. Liu Yimin has already considered it, which is to turn the attention of the Guandong Army to other places, and not let them keep a close eye on Shenyang and Dalian. Just so happened that Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, Peng Zhen, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong and Ye Ting were all there, and Liu Yimin thought of taking the opportunity to hold a short meeting and telling about his deployment. Who knew that he had just called a few people to sit down again, but before he could speak, Qian Zhuangfei came in with a telegram. After calling for a report, he handed the telegram to Liu Yimin.
When Liu Yimin saw that it was a telegram sent by Chen Shiqu from Shanhaiguan, saying that the Japanese army began to search and reconnaise on the Shanhaiguan line today, and the Japanese fleet of Shanhaiguan carried out reconnaissance, and judged that the Japanese army in North China was about to take action.
After reading it, Liu Yimin said to Qian Zhuangfei: "Call back to Chen Shiqu, calm down and focus on repairing fortifications! The main force of the Japanese army in North China is distributed in Shandong and Shanxi, and it is impossible to mobilize heavy troops to attack Shanhaiguan in the short term. Moreover, the Japanese army in North China is afraid of us. Without the troops of five divisions, they dare not come to attack Shanhaiguan. They are afraid that our army's main force will suddenly turn west and encircle them on the front line of Shanhaiguan. The Japanese are firing smoke screens, deceiving our army, trying to attract our army's attention and cover the Kwantung Army to assemble the main force."
After Qian Zhuang flew away, Liu Yimin said to several people: "Our army wants to capture fighter jets, take the initiative to attack, and eat the Kwantung Army in one bite. The original plan was to siege Changchun to fight aid, but now it seems that the combat plan needs to be changed. The reason is that from the current situation, the Japanese and puppet troops in Changchun are on high alert. Moreover, the Japanese army has been transferred back to the Fourth Flight Group, and may also transfer the Fifth Flight Group back. It is likely that it will arrive tomorrow. Our army cannot be exposed to the Japanese air firepower, which will cause too much loss. It is not conducive to subsequent operations and we cannot afford it."
Luo Ronghuan said: "We must insist on concentrating our superior forces, superior firepower, and ambushing. In this way, the results of the battle will be large and the losses will be small. I think we can make a fuss about the Japanese army returning to Changchun, and eliminate one stream of one stream. It is very likely that once we fight, we will completely mobilize the Japanese army and can fight continuously."
Liu Yimin nodded and said, "I plan to gather the main force in the area west of Gongzhuling and standby. The combat goal is the fifth Japanese army and the main force of the Sixth Army that was withdrawn from Mongolia. Once the Japanese retreating troops are discovered, our army will immediately pounce on it and destroy it with lightning speed. Once this battle is fought, it may turn into a big war. We may be able to wipe out the main force of the Sixth Army or the main force of the Fifth Army in one fell swoop, or even sautify the Japanese devils of the two armies. If the victory of this battle ends, the advantage of the Kwantung Army over our army will be greatly reduced. There is no advantage. Next, our army will move around Changchun and even cross the Yalu River to clean up the Korean army. Make a decision based on changes in the enemy situation."
After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he sought everyone's opinions. As a result, several people said that it would be best to avoid the strong city of Changchun and to annihilate the enemy in the wild.
Liu Yimin then began to divide the work: "Political Commissar Chen, Comrade Fuchun, Comrade Xiang Ying, and Comrade Peng Zhen were in charge of Shenyang and guarding the rear. Political Commissar Luo, Chief of Staff Ye, and Director Cai led the troops to fight. Don't worry, there are Zhaoshan from the Liaodong Command on the ground in Liaodong and Xu Shiyou guarded it. In western Liaoning, in addition to Chen Shiqu in Shanhaiguan, there are also the second column, the sixth column and the Jinzhou garrison area of Fu Zhuting. In the direction of Jilin, there are the twelfth columns of Wang Nanhu and Tang Liang. Liaoning is safe. While you are good at forming the regime and restoring production, you must seize three things: one is arms, two is food and grass, and three is reserve troops training. As long as you grasp these three things, we will definitely win."
Although Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, and Peng Zhen were not military cadres, they knew that it was the worst way to siege Changchun after a large-scale Japanese aircraft group rushed back. Especially Chen Yun, in history, he insisted on fighting in the South Manchuria base area. The failure to evacuate South Manchuria made our army in the Northeast achieve South Manchuria. The North Manchuria echoed each other, fighting and pulling each other, and cooperated with the main force of North Manchuria to reverse the passive situation of our army in the Northeast.
Li Fuchun proposed whether the urban population of Shenyang and Dalian should be evacuated to avoid major losses.
Peng Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Where can't evacuate? We don't know when Japanese planes will bomb. We can't turn Shenyang and Dalian into empty cities or dead cities, right? After all, it can only lead the war to the Japanese-occupied areas, which is the best!"
These are all summarized from the experience of fighting against the enemy, and they are all truth.
Chen Yun asked Liu Yimin when he would take action. Liu Yimin said that he would take action when the troops were in place. In the past two days, he would also meet the comrades from the arsenal, the comrades from the training headquarters, and the comrades from the Railway Corps Headquarters.
Several people were talking, and Colonel Bao Ruid ran over excitedly and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Dear Liu, I received a call back!"
Liu Yimin's reaction was very calm. He took several telegrams from Colonel Bao Ruid and flipped them out. There were telegrams from General Marshall, telegrams from General Nimitz, and MacArthur, commander of the Southwest Pacific War Zone. The content was all. Thanks to Liu Yimin for reminding him that Liu Yimin would analyze the direction of the attack of the Japanese Navy in the next step.
