"In this way, we can take the initiative on the battlefield even on the sea."
Xing Zhiguo's eyes also lit up.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. Let's take a look at the strength of our Eighth Route Navy, whether it's a mule or a horse.
If the combat effectiveness is really strong, it will definitely cause great damage to the Japanese.
"But there's a problem."
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou said worriedly:
"This time when we attack Shanhaiguan, we will dispatch some transport ships, as well as some frigates and destroyers, which will inevitably expose some naval power."
"In this way, the Japanese will probably be prepared in case they bring aircraft carriers and battleships over during the next landing operation..."
Today's Wang Dehou is also well-informed. He has read "Airborne Operations and Beach Landing" well and has a good understanding of the Japanese naval combat system.
Although the equipment of the Japanese army is very awkward, the equipment of the Japanese navy is still very good.
The Japanese navy was at a disadvantage in fighting the US navy, but the fight was successful.
“It’s not a big problem!”
Li Yunlong thought carefully, then waved his hand and said:
"As long as the Japanese combined fleet does not come, if the Japanese only come with one or two aircraft carriers and battleships, we will be able to deal with them."
"Because we still have land fighter jets that can provide support."
"The headquarters has ordered the Shandong Military Region to build large airports in major cities along the coast of Shandong Province. Many airports have been completed."
"Our fighter jets and bombers can cover the entire Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea areas west of the peninsula."
As Li Yunlong spoke, he drew a radius on the map with his finger, including the entire Caoxian Peninsula and the entire Jaap Island country, which were within the range of the Eighth Route Army's aerial bombardment.
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong chuckled again and said: "Hehe... I'm still afraid that the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships won't come."
With the air support from the land and the combat effectiveness of the Yunlong aircraft carrier, we will definitely be able to fight a hearty naval battle with the Japanese.
Li Yunlong's analysis made Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo all shine.
This time the new regiment attacked Shanhaiguan, and the Eighth Route Army dispatched transport ships and warships. It seemed that they could dig a hole for the Japanese?
Originally, when the Japanese landed in Shandong Province, they might not have needed to dispatch aircraft carriers, battleships and other fleets.
However, the Eighth Route Army's landing behind Shanhaiguan made the Japanese think that the Eighth Route Army had a navy and had some combat effectiveness, so it was likely to send aircraft carriers and battleships.
"This move of ours is great!"
Zhao Gang said in an expectant tone: "If the Japanese only come with some transport ships and frigates, it won't be interesting."
At present, the Eighth Route Army does not have the ability and technology to produce advanced warships on its own.
At present, if the Eighth Route Army wants to develop its navy, it can only kill the Japanese generals or Japanese ships.
Kill the Japanese aircraft carrier and the Eighth Route Army will get the aircraft carrier. Kill the Japanese battleship and the Eighth Route Army will get the battleship.
good smell!
"One ring within another." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "This is called a chain within a ring."
Li Yunlong planned to set a series of traps for the Japanese, attracting Japanese battleships and aircraft carriers, sinking them and making the Eighth Route Army rich.
but.
There is a high probability that the Japanese combined fleet will not come to the Bohai Sea, because the Japanese combined fleet is currently competing with the US Pacific Fleet.
Although the Japanese Navy lost the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Japanese Navy still has a lot of wealth.
After a pause, Li Yunlong added: "But we still have to beware of Japanese submarines, lest they capsize in the ditch."
According to the intelligence data provided by Boss Chen, although the Japanese's submarine record is poor, after all, the Eighth Route Navy is a newly established fleet with insufficient actual combat experience and training experience, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in combat effectiveness.
"If only we had submarines too!"
Deputy Captain Xing said with emotion.
"Yes, yes, last time we killed Yamamoto, didn't we get 10 submarines?"
Zhao Gang said: "The problem is that our group of naval cadets have not yet been sent to Boss Chen's military port, and it will take more than half a year for our submarines to initially form combat effectiveness. Our submarine force, as well as two new aircraft carriers and battleships
The formation will definitely not be able to keep up with this naval battle."
Li Yunlong nodded. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army had destroyers with advanced capabilities, so there was no need to be too afraid of the Japanese submarines.
Although there is no practical experience yet.
Zhao Gang changed the topic and looked at Li Yunlong and asked: "Old Li, our new regiment needs transport ships, frigates and destroyers for this landing operation. Have you contacted Boss Chen? What did Boss Chen say?"
"Already contacted."
Li Yunlong took out a telegram from the folder:
"Boss Chen replied that there is no problem. We have a total of 15 transport ships. Each transport ship can transport 2,000 people, 15 tanks and 30 cars."
"There are also five frigates and four destroyers. These are the strength of our Eighth Route Navy."
Boss Chen initially reduced one aircraft carrier and two battleships, but increased the number of destroyers, cruisers, frigates and other battleships.
However, the number of transport ships has not increased.
"Only 30,000 people can be transported at one time?" Zhao Gang frowned, "This transport ship is not enough. Do we need to transport it in two times?"
The staff plan was to use four heavy-armed battalions to surround the Japanese Fourth Army and capture Huludao.
The strength of the four heavy-armed battalions alone is about 40,000, not to mention the heavy equipment of these four heavy-armed battalions: tanks, 122mm howitzers, armored vehicles and cars, as well as a large amount of combat supplies.
Needless to say, 15 transport ships are definitely not enough.
However, Li Yunlong already had a countermeasure for this, saying: "So I rented 15 more transport ships from Boss Chen and paid a Japanese price of 1,500. The captains and sailors of these 15 transport ships are all Boss Chen's people. We can do it at once
Transport all the troops and equipment of the four heavy equipment battalions there."
Zhao Gang asked again: "Is the landing craft ready?"
"Don't worry, everything is ready." Li Yunlong said, "Each transport ship is equipped with enough amphibious landing vehicles."
"If we have enough paratroopers, this landing operation will be easier."
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou suddenly said:
"Send a paratrooper unit to be the first to parachute to the rear area of the landing point. When the landing troops are rushing to land on the beach, the paratrooper units will simultaneously attack the Japanese on the beachhead from behind. The success rate of the landing operation will be increased by at least 40%!"
"It makes sense!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Then separate a thousand troops from the heavy paratrooper battalion and airdrop them behind the landing point to cooperate with the main force in the beach landing operation."
Thousands of troops were separated from the heavy equipment battalion and had little impact on the Chengde battlefield.
But it had a great impact on the Shanhaiguan battlefield.
"Yes!" Wang Dehou quickly wrote it down.
"Haha..." At this moment, Zhao Gang suddenly laughed.
"Old Zhao." Li Yunlong asked, "Why are you laughing? Are you having epilepsy?"
"Get out!" Zhao Gang's face darkened, "You are so stupid that you are going crazy. I was just laughing at the way our army is fighting now."
Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the way our army is fighting now?"
Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo also looked at Zhao Gang curiously.
Zhao Gang then said: "Think about it, what kind of battles did the Eighth Route Army, including our new regiment, fight three years ago? What tactics did they use?"
"At that time, our troops were extremely poor, with insufficient food and ammunition." Wang Dehou said, "Almost all tactics were guerrilla warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, ambush warfare, tunnel warfare, siege warfare and other tactics.
.”
"But look at it now, what is our fighting method?"
Zhao Gang smiled slightly and said:
"Not only are there sufficient supplies of food, ammunition and fuel, but the combat methods are also beach landings, airborne operations, rapid assaults by armored aircraft groups, large-caliber heavy artillery and aerial bombs to clear the ground. Our combat methods are becoming more and more modern."
"Old Zhao is right." Li Yunlong nodded in agreement, "And the trap we set for the Japanese this time is likely to lead to a naval battle. Three years ago, we, Old Li, would not have dared to think about it.
, At that time, in addition to guerrilla warfare, our new regiment often engaged in tactics such as kidnapping, sap fighting, and digging traps. How is it like now, when we have the power of the sea, land and air force? "
"I believe." Zhao Gang said, "As long as our Eighth Route Army adheres to the policy of fighting the Japanese unswervingly, our army will become stronger and stronger in the future, and our equipment will become better and better, and even reach the first level in the world."
Li Yunlong's eyes were sharp and he snorted coldly: "When the time comes, the National Army, the Ma's Army... we will settle old and new grudges together."
…
Yu Province.
Xinxiang.
New Regiment Independent Brigade Headquarters.
Chu Yunfei likes to stay in the war room when he has nothing to do.
In the past, Chu Yunfei liked to wear the Zhongzheng Sword on the right side of his waist and also liked to wear white gloves. However, although Chu Yunfei still kept the Zhongzheng Sword, he didn't like to wear it, nor did he like wearing white gloves very much. Instead, he liked coats.
Wearing a black leather jacket with an Eighth Route Army uniform underneath.
Chu Yunfei was staring at the map on the wall, analyzing the current situation between the enemy and ourselves.
Fang Ligong and Political Commissar Qin walked in hand in hand. Fang Ligong held a telegram in his hand and had a happy look on his face.
"Captain, the regiment headquarters just called back."
When Chu Yunfei heard Fang Ligong's voice, he turned around, and Fang Ligong continued:
"The regiment leader has agreed to the request of our independent brigade and ordered the independent brigade to immediately go to the front line of Shanhaiguan. He also ordered you, the regiment leader, to go to the regiment headquarters in Peiping for a meeting."
"Oh?" Chu Yunfei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "The leader agrees?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfei took the telegram from Fang Ligong and read it.
After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei's face suddenly showed a deep joy.
Although Chu Yunfei led the independent brigade to develop rapidly in Henan Province, regained a lot of territory, and killed the puppet army Sun Liangcheng and his remnants.
However, the main force of the Japs in this area was transferred away by Okamura Neiji, so the battles of the independent brigade were basically small fights.
Chu Yunfei is not an easy man either. Now that the independent brigade is strong, it is time to take him out for a walk.
Moreover, Chu Yunfei also has a lot of ambitions. He likes to do some earth-shattering things. He doesn't want to become famous, he just wants to fight little devils.
After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei's face became more joyful.
Chu Yunfei put down the telegram and said: "As expected, the regiment commander will capture Shanhaiguan in the near future. Our independent brigade has the opportunity to beat up the little Japanese!"
Sun Ming, Fang Ligong, Political Commissar Qin and all the staff on the side also looked happy.
The new independent regiment formed with the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army as the backbone has undergone earth-shaking changes. From officers to soldiers, everyone is happy to hear the battle.
Of course, they are not war madmen, nor do they want to achieve many military exploits.
But he simply wanted to fight the Japanese.
Fang Ligong said: "The Japanese Kwantung Army's Fourth Army is defending our army in the Shanhaiguan area. The regiment headquarters said in the telegram that the Japanese Fourth Army will be completely annihilated, and our independent brigade is the main force in this battle. The Japanese Fourth Army
The Fourth Army has three divisions and two brigades, plus the puppet troops in Manchuria, so it will be very difficult to annihilate them all."
Although the Independent Brigade is in Henan Province, the regiment headquarters often sends telegrams to the Independent Brigade to share information.
Therefore, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were also very clear about the conditions on the Chengde battlefield and Shanhaiguan battlefield.
"What?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows, "Brother Ligong is worried that the regiment headquarters is deliberately making things difficult for our independent brigade?"
"That's not true." Fang Ligong explained quickly, "I have known the regiment leader for more than a day or two. The regiment leader is definitely not such a person. I am just curious about what tactics the regiment headquarters will use to annihilate the Japanese Fourth Army this time? After all, the Japanese are fighting
But he can run."
"Since the regiment leader said he could annihilate them all, he is certainly confident."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Yunfei said, "We just need to follow the orders. As for the battle plan, we will know it soon."
"Yes!" Fang Ligong stood up and stood at attention.
Chu Yunfei glanced at everyone and said: "Although our independent brigade has all American equipment, it is also a unit under the new regiment designation. We are the most capable unit in the Chinese army. In this battle, I
The independent brigade must perform well and must not dishonor the honor of our number one ace unit in China!"
"Yes!" All the officers shouted in unison.
"Brother who has done meritorious service, Lao Qin."
Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong and Political Commissar Qin:
"I will fly to the regiment headquarters for a meeting first. You must first assemble the troops for pre-war mobilization, and bring all the food and belongings with you to prepare to go north."
"In a few days, the train arranged by the regiment headquarters will arrive, and then all comrades will take the train to the front line of Shanhaiguan."
Political Commissar Qin and Fang Ligong smiled slightly.
Although the Independent Brigade does not have many cars and is not motorized, the main force of the Eighth Route Army does not need to walk on long-distance marches and can be pulled directly by train.
Not only can it save soldiers' physical strength, but it is also safer, faster and more efficient.
…
at the same time.
Chengde.
Japanese First Army Headquarters.
"Your Majesty Commander, are you looking for me?"
Yamamoto Kazuki walked quickly into the commander's office with a major general's sword on his shoulder. He looked at Mitsuo Nakazawa's chess table and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm studying new tactics. If you ask me to play chess, I'm afraid I won't have time."
The scene of Nakazawa Mizuo wearing military uniform and sitting behind the chess table made Yamamoto Kazuki feel a little dazed.
He suddenly remembered the time when Yoshio Shinozuka often came to him to play chess in Taiyuan.
At that time, Yamamoto Kazuki was busy training the special agent team, so he often refused Shinozuka Yoshio's invitations like this time.
"New tactics?" Nakazawa Mizuo's expression changed, "What kind of tactics? How is the research going?"
Contrary to Yamamoto's expectation, Nakazawa Mizuo didn't care at all about his refusal to play chess.
"It is still under study," Kazuki Yamamoto said, "This time I am studying the tactics of street fighting and how to deal with the tanks of the Eighth Route Army in street fighting."
"Yo Xi, Yamamoto-kun is indeed a smart and capable man." Mitsuo Nakazawa nodded with a satisfied expression.
"There is still the Eighth Route Army attacking outside the city. As the commander of the First Army, I am studying and playing chess here. Will Yamamoto-kun think that I am not doing my job properly?" said Mitsuo Nakazawa.
"No!" Yamamoto Kazuki said, "This only shows that Commander, you have a strong psychological quality, a big heart, and can maintain a clear and calm mind at all times. With all due respect, Commander, you already have the demeanor of a general.
"
If Mitsuo Nakazawa were replaced by someone else, Kazuki Yamamoto would definitely not be so flattering.
However, when he was defeated last time, Mitsuo Nakazawa took most of the responsibility for him, and he only received a small punishment, so Kazuki Yamamoto was very grateful to Mitsuo Nakazawa.
"Yamamoto-kun is getting better and better at talking."
Mitsuo Nakazawa opened the drawer and took out a telegram:
"In the morning, the Kwantung Army Headquarters sent a telegram asking our First Army to send a general to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Changchun for a meeting and report on the situation in Chengde."
"I'm going to send you to Changchun, and you can also meet General Umezu Yoshijiro."
In fact, Kazuki Yamamoto and his special agent team were formerly affiliated with the Kwantung Army and participated in the Battle of Nomonkan.
However, at that time, no officer in the Kwantung Army's senior leadership valued Yamamoto Kazuki's special operations.
On the contrary, the then commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was very interested in Yamamoto Kazuki and his special agent team, so he found a relationship and transferred Yamamoto and his special agent team to the First Army.
Yamamoto did not expect that he and his special agent team would return to the Kwantung Army's combat sequence.
Mitsuo Nakazawa asked, "Yamamoto-kun, do you have something to say?"
"Your Excellency, Commander."
Yamamoto Kazuki said:
"This time I go to the Kwantung Army Headquarters for a meeting. I'm afraid it will take at least half a month to return to Chengde..."
"Although the No. 1 combat plan is top secret, I estimate that the Eighth Route Army will soon obtain the No. 1 combat plan, and may even already know about it."
Mitsuo Nakazawa nodded in agreement. He had already learned that the intelligence capabilities of the Eighth Route Army were terrifying. His 1st Division and 9th Division and other units suffered heavy losses, and basically all their intelligence was leaked.
"It seems that the Eighth Route Army has probably already known the No. 1 combat plan." Mitsuo Nakazawa changed the subject and asked, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you want to say?"
"Chengde and Shanhaiguan!" Yamamoto Kazuki pointed at the map and said, "Whoever can own Chengde and Shanhaiguan between the Locust Army and the Eighth Route Army will be able to take the initiative on the battlefield, advance, attack, retreat or defend. Assume that the Eighth Route Army already knows the No. 1 battle plan
…”
Mitsuo Nakazawa was suddenly startled: "Yamamoto-kun, do you mean that the Eighth Route Army will definitely attack Chengde and Shanhaiguan in a short period of time? Sending troops to fight for training is just a smoke bomb to confuse the locust army?"
"Yes." Yamamoto Kazuki said, "Commander, with all due respect, judging from the performance of the Eighth Route Army during this period, even the newly formed troops have extremely strong combat effectiveness. It is absolutely impossible for the First Army alone to defend the
Chengde, if necessary, we can give up Chengde to preserve our strength."
"Since Chengde is so important to the Locust Army, it is related to the success or failure of the No. 1 combat plan." Mitsuo Nakazawa waved his hand and said, "How can we give up so easily?"
"That being the case..." Yamamoto sighed inwardly, "Commander, please deploy more troops in the area north of Chengde City to prevent the Eighth Route Army from cutting off the First Army's retreat."
