"Izumo" also has symbolic significance in the Japanese Navy. It was manufactured by the British Armstrong Shipyard, with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. It is an "armored cruiser". It participated in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, and served as the Emperor of Japan for a long time.
's ship.
Each of the five heavy cruisers is equipped with 10 main guns of about 200mm and nearly 10 anti-aircraft guns of caliber above 100mm.
The Chinese fleet of the Japanese Navy is unprecedentedly powerful!
It can be said that if Wu Aihua's "merit system" had not been upgraded, there would be no hope of dealing with such a powerful Japanese naval fleet.
However, after the "merit system" is upgraded, can it deal with such a huge Japanese fleet? The answer is: It's hard to say.
Because, although Wu Aihua's merit system can be "exchanged" for the most advanced fighter aircraft, heavy cruisers, missiles and rockets, etc., it is not easy to make these equipment into combat effectiveness, plus the price of robots for naval and air combat.
It was 10 times more expensive than the original one, and it was impossible for Wu Aihua to "redeem" a large number of robots to participate in the battle. Therefore, Wu Aihua had to seriously cultivate his own navy and air force.
At the end of November 1937, after all-round deployment of troops and massive expansion, Japan's 12 armies were finally established.
The commander of the 1st Army, Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi, has jurisdiction over the 20th, 108th, 110th, 27th, and 35th Divisions; the commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Higashiya Nahiko, has jurisdiction over the 5th, 16th, 109th, 21st, and 33rd Divisions.
Regiment; Lieutenant General Yamashita Nobumi, commander of the 3rd Army, has jurisdiction over the 8th, 19th, 114th, 22nd, and 36th Divisions; Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, commander of the 4th Army, has jurisdiction over the 14th, 103th, 116th, 29th, and 37th Divisions; 5th Army
Lieutenant General Kawamura Kyosuke, commander of the army, has jurisdiction over the 1,101, 112, 24, and 31st divisions; Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura, commander of the 6th army, has jurisdiction over the 2nd, 13, 102, 25, and 30th divisions; commander of the 7th Army
General Matsui, commander of the 4th, 11th, 111th, 113th and 34th divisions; Lieutenant General Mitsuru Ushijima, commander of the 8th Army, commander of the 10th, 17th, 119th, 120th and 26th divisions; Lieutenant General Tada Jun, commander of the 9th Army, commander of the 9th Army
7, 15, 105, 106, and 39 divisions; Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army, has the 3rd, 18th, 107, 117, and 38th divisions; Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the commander of the 11th Army, has the 6th, 12th, 115th, 23rd, and 32nd divisions.
Regiment; Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei, commander of the 12th Army, has jurisdiction over the 9th, 104th, 118th, 28th, and 40th Divisions.
Historically, the Japanese army had 17 permanent divisions. They were Guards divisions, numbered 1-20 (of which 13, 15, 17, and 18 were missing); before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, not only did 13,
There were four divisions, 15, 17, and 18, and 12 "ad hoc divisions" (numbered 101-120) were formed. From 1938 to 1941, Japan also formed a series of 21-29 "new divisions".
The "Security Divisions" of the 30-49 series. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan felt that the army was insufficient in number, so it added the "Supplementary Divisions" of the 50-59 series, and the "Additional Divisions" of the 60- and later series (this category is divided into A, B, C and D.
The division of levels is not contradictory). It can be seen that the expansion of the Japanese Army is in a "ladder" manner.
However, Wu Aihua's time travel has turned the "year-by-year" troop increase in the history of the Japanese army into a "one-time" troop increase. Moreover, except for the Guards Division, all the other 60 divisions of these troops will enter China!
Obviously, this is the "negative effect" brought about by Wu Aihua's time travel. Although the National Defense Force also has 70 divisions, in a war, who can be so comprehensive that no problems will occur? As soon as the war starts, the military strength will be the same as that of 70 divisions.
The relationship between military forces is not a one-to-one correspondence, but a process of constant and dynamic changes in the local forces of the enemy and ourselves. It often happens that small forces are used to defeat large forces, and small units are used to impede large forces.
At the same time, the Japanese Army completed the formation of four major strategic groups:
The commander of the Kwantung Army continues to be General Ueda Kenkichi, and the main forces are Lieutenant General Kawamura Kyosuke's 5th Army and Lieutenant General Tokuni Toshi's 9th Army.
The commander of the North China Front is General Enjun Roku, and its main forces are the 1st Army of Kōgetsu Kiyoshi, the 2nd Army of Higashikanomiya Sahiko, the 3rd Army of Yamashita Nobumi, and the 2nd Flying Group.
The commander of China's East China Front is General Matsui Iwane, and its main forces are Kenji Doihara's 4th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army, and Hisao Tani's 11th Army.
China's South China Front. The commander is Abe Nobuyuki, and its main forces are Okamura Yoshi's 6th Army, Matsui's 7th Army, Ushijima Mitsuru's 8th Army, and Ogisu Ritsuke's 12th Army.
At 1 a.m. on December 13, 1937, four months and one month after the historical "Battle of Songhu" broke out, a small group of special forces from the East China Front of the Japanese Army quietly landed at Wusongkou in landing craft at night and quickly annihilated the Chinese
The security force stationed in Wusongkou, at 3 o'clock in the morning, the 23rd Regiment of the 36th Brigade of the 11th Army's 6th Division, the leading force of the Japanese North China Front, took a troop transport ship to seize the beach quietly and successfully!
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese 23rd Regiment made contact with the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the Chinese defenders facing them. The Sino-Japanese War broke out again!
History, a huge misunderstanding occurred here!
Historically, because the Japanese army launched the July 7 Marco Polo Bridge Incident and wanted to find the main force of China for a decisive battle, the Military Commission of the Kuomintang Government chose to fight the Japanese army in Songhu. Although the textbook said that the August 13 Incident was provoked by the Japanese army, in fact
It was the Chinese army who took the initiative to attack the Japanese army! However, the historical misunderstanding is really serious. In North China, the Japanese army not only occupied all of Shandong and parts of Hebei, but also lost Chahar and Peking City, and lost two divisions.
For other brigades, it can be said that the North China War was the "defeat" of the Japanese army. The consequences of this situation were that Chiang Kai-shek concentrated a large number of elite troops on the front lines of northern Jiangsu and Anhui to prevent the 1st Army of the North China Front from moving south, while Shanghai
Only Zhang Zhizhong's 9th Group Army's three divisions, the 36th, 87th and 88th Divisions, defended it.
The 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division. Anyone with a little knowledge of military history will understand that these are the direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek. They were all adapted from the former National Government Guards and carefully trained by German consultants. And these three
The division's commanders, Song Xilian, Wang Jingjiu, and Sun Yuanliang, are also famous figures in history books. Chiang Kai-shek himself was extremely fond of these three divisions.
Historically, the commander of the 9th Army at this time should be Zhu Shaoliang, but because there was no war in Shanghai, the commander was still Zhang Zhizhong. In the history of the Republic of China, Zhang Zhizhong was also regarded as a military and political master, and he was absolutely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
, However, because history has changed, both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Zhizhong believed that if Japan made a comeback, it would never land in Shanghai first. Although they fully understood the importance of Shanghai's strategic position, they still insisted on their views.
.
Why are they so confident? The reason is naturally the emergence of Wu Aihua!
Chiang Kai-shek and his men believed that if the Japanese army wanted to go to war, they would definitely seek out Wu Aihua's National Defense Forces for a decisive battle. First, because the National Defense Forces had deep hatred with the Japanese army. Second, everyone in the national army understood one truth. Even if the Japanese army did not annihilate the National Defense Forces,
There is no point in occupying any place in China, because the places occupied by the Japanese may be recaptured by Wu Aihua's troops at any time.
In other words, if the Japanese army wants to make a comeback and conquer China, they must first conquer Wu Aihua's National Defense Forces!
Not only the people in the Chiang Kai-shek group had this view, but Wu Aihua himself, the time traveler, also held this attitude. Of course, his view was just not that extreme. Wu Aihua and his generals spent almost all their free time studying the Japanese military meeting
Where to launch the attack. Peking, Chahar, Northern Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places have all been conceived.
The result of the research is that the Japanese army will first gather a large army to attack the Beiping area, because Wu Aihua has only one group army and two directly affiliated divisions in Beiping and Chahar so far, only 7 divisions. Of course, this does not include Caijiayu
A standard air force regiment at the airport, as well as the guard force of the Fozizhuang base and the Chahar garrison force. However, in any case, this force is a "partial division" among Wu Aihua's military forces, and it is relatively easy to defeat it.
In addition, Wu Aihua's partial division once defeated the 2nd Army of the North China Front and seized Peiping and Chahar. If the Japanese army could annihilate it or even drive it away, it could also reverse the negative impact of the Japanese army's defeat in North China.
The key issue is that the Japanese North China Front now has 3 corps, 15 divisions and their local garrisons. When necessary, the Kwantung Army's two corps can completely dedicate one of their corps to attack Chahar to contain the National Defense Forces, or even
Occupy Chahar because the Japanese army already has an absolute military advantage in North China.
Secondly, Japan is very likely to attack Fujian and Guangdong first, because the Japanese navy has particularly obvious advantages. As long as the Japanese army carries out "multiple landings" in South China, the National Defense Forces may be overwhelmed. Even if Wu Aihua's air force is very powerful, the Japanese army
The Air Defense Air Force of the National Defense Force may not be able to take advantage of the air defense firepower assembled on a fleet scale. Fujian is the birthplace of the Wu Aihua National Defense Force. Occupying or destroying it can cut off the source of ammunition and supplies for the National Defense Force, which is of great significance.
Of course, to attack Fujian and Guangdong first, the Japanese army must be mentally prepared for a head-on confrontation, because in Guangdong and Fujian, the National Defense Forces not only have 5 group armies and 25 divisions, but also a large number of local security forces, with a total strength of nearly one million people.
, to engage in a "decisive battle" with such a well-equipped and well-trained army, you need a good appetite. But the problem is that the Japanese never play their cards according to common sense, and always like to gamble on whims. In addition,
With their powerful navy, who dares to say that the Japanese army will not attack Fujian and Guangdong?
Besides, there is an extremely important reason why Wu Aihua focuses on defending Fujian and Guangdong, and that is to guard the "port to the sea." At this time, the area controlled by the National Defense Forces is a critical period for large-scale construction. One more day of air routes means that there are countless
Thousands of tons of supplies arrived at the port. If the Japanese army occupied the coast or destroyed the port, the construction of Wu Aihua would be affected immediately.
Shanghai? Of course, it is possible for the Japanese army to attack first, but the upper echelons of the National Defense Force believe that this possibility is extremely small. Because the Japanese army chooses to attack Shanghai first. On the surface, it seems that it is far away from the "enemy" of the National Defense Force and can gain temporary safety. But there is no doubt that the Japanese army chooses to attack Shanghai first.
A new enemy has been established, and it has also given the National Defense Forces time to prepare calmly. As long as the National Defense Forces are dispatched, the Japanese army will most likely vomit out the places they have occupied.
