One butterfly is enough to cause a tropical storm, but two butterflies,
When the wheel of history deviates from the established direction, in the vast Indian Ocean and the boundless Pacific Ocean, the military flags of the student army are fluttering, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are stained with blood on the sea, guarding our vast China, the old poison is written in the twelfth volume before the attack on the Indian Ocean,
At around eight o'clock in the morning on August 11, 1940, the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet, with the newly renovated aircraft carrier Kaga as its flagship, had more than 120 ships of various types slowly leaving the Nagasaki naval port in Japan. After arriving at the pier, with a series of high-pitched whistles, warships left the pier one after another. On some troop carriers, Japanese soldiers neatly arranged on the decks and aisles raised their hands to salute the people seeing off the pier, and cheers rang out. , the plaster flag was danced crazily...
In the captain's room of the Kaga, Yamamoto Isoroku stood in the captain's position with a golden sword, surrounded by Soma Masabumi, Tsukahara Er43 and others. His face was calm, but his eyes were shining. , "Dutch East Indies, French Indochina, oil, rubber, gold mines..." These terms flashed through Yamamoto's mind like a movie, and his hands held the handle of the command knife in front of him harder. My breathing suddenly became a little heavy,
The Japanese Navy has been quietly preparing for the Indian Ocean Strategy since the end of last year. More than 300 senior spies from the Navy's special high-tech department first went to the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina. They used the locals to overthrow the colonial authorities and establish themselves on their own. The idea of helping to establish the so-called "rebel army", and the latest news coming back is that they have established resistance armed forces mainly composed of local people in Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam and other places. Among them, in Indonesia, Chizono Asano and others More than five thousand people have gathered around me,
The Japanese regard the Indian Ocean conquest as a major matter of national destiny, and have spent a lot of money on this. Five of the existing seven aircraft carriers have been dispatched, namely the heavy aircraft carriers Kaga, Soryu and the newly built and launched Shokaku. , the Zuikaku , the escort aircraft carrier Oi Taka , and among the surviving battleships, four were dispatched, namely the Hyuga , Kongo , Hiei and Fuso . In addition, a sufficient number of battleships were recruited. More than seventy merchant ships are used as troop carriers and supply ships to carry the newly formed First, Second and Third Marine Corps.
The level of secrecy of this Japanese operation was extremely high. Even Arima Masafumi and Tsukahara 243 did not know what mission they were about to perform until they boarded the ship. Before that, they thought that the empire was going to war this time. ,The target is Taiwan,
The intelligence department of the Xuebing Army also made a misjudgment. When the Western Expedition Fleet first concentrated in Nagasaki, the Xuebing Army lurking in Japan sent a telegram. The Xuebing Army Headquarters received this information and judged the Japanese army as a matter of course. A massive counterattack will be launched on Taiwan. To this end, Ouyang Yun convened a meeting with Tie Linfei, Chen Ce, and Chen Yuanyang to discuss how to withstand this wave of Japanese counterattacks. His order was to hold the center line at all costs. , to protect the South China Sea and obtain a training area for the young navy,
For this purpose, Tielin Fei assembled more than 200 fighter jets and about 100 bombers in the Fuzhou area. Chen Ce and Chen Yuanyang also sent all the torpedo boats of the Dongshan Fleet to Kaohsiung Port, and even prepared the torpedo boats once they were ready. If the entire army is destroyed, then dispatch the newly formed submarine force.
The establishment of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Army" was a severe test for the Cadet Army and even the entire Chinese army. A hundred thousand North Korean puppet troops were stationed in southwest Zhejiang, and another 50,000 North Korean puppet troops were stationed in Taiwan. The Japanese army was originally slightly weak. The troops were immediately replenished and restored. Ouyang Yun did not take the Korean puppet army seriously at first. Due to his understanding of the history of that time and space, he knew that although the Korean puppet army had committed numerous crimes in China that were no less than those of the Japanese army, , but their own strength is not that good, so he thought they were just here to make soy sauce. However, after several battles, the Xuebing Army failed to achieve an overwhelming victory. He began to realize that something was wrong.
In that time and space, the fundamental reason why the puppet army was incompetent in combat was that the Japanese did not regard them as human beings. This was reflected in many aspects. The first was disrespect. The puppet army at that time was, to put it nicely, the Japanese army. Hu Congjun, to put it bluntly, is cannon fodder, the "minion" who works for the tiger; secondly, he does not pay attention to it. On the one hand, the weapons and equipment and training methods are backward, and there are also aspects such as soldiers' pay, logistics, etc. The Japanese do not regard them as one at all. What's going on, this directly led to the breakdown of discipline and sparse training of the puppet army. Naturally, it lacked cohesion and was particularly greedy for life and afraid of death.
But now, the situation is different. The Japanese may only be superficial, but the key to the problem is that they are really doing this seriously. In the past, the Japanese basically ignored the puppet army's equipment, but now, Not only are their weapons and equipment the same as those of the Japanese army, their pay is actually the same as that of the Japanese army, and the military rank of officers of the same level is actually one level higher than that of the Japanese army. Not only that, the Tokyo base camp actually issued a military order strictly prohibiting the imperial army from having any Insulting and bullying the Co-Prosperity Army occurred, and in many public places, heavyweight Japanese generals such as Okamura Neiji actually promised the puppet officers and soldiers: "You were the masters of this land, and you will still be the masters of this land in the future." The imperial army is stationed here to liberate you, the owners of this land, so that you can live a good life like the people of the Japanese Empire."
Traitors and traitors have no bones to begin with. They followed the Japanese army. Originally they just wanted to gnaw the bones and drink the leftover soup. But now they are fine. The big bones with meat are smashed down by the sticks. They immediately forget how many bones they have. I only have a few pounds, and I don’t even know what my ancestor’s surname is.
With the fleshy bones in front, it is logical that Okamura Ningji will use thunderbolt methods to strictly demand the puppet soldiers according to the requirements of the Japanese army. Look, the master is only treated like this, and the master must fight hard. We What reason do these slaves have for not fighting to the death?
One hundred thousand Korean Japs entered southwestern Zhejiang, and the battle lasted for a month and a half. The student soldiers did not expect to be defeated in one blow. On the contrary, these Japs actually got stronger and tougher as they fought.
And with these 150,000 Korean Japs at the bottom, the Japanese army was able to mobilize front-line troops from Taiwan and the front line of southwestern Zhejiang into Central and North China. Therefore, the military void caused by the encirclement and suppression of the Xuebing Army was made up, like Zhang Zizhong, Fu Zuoyi and others. It would not be so easy for Yang Sen and others to find an advantage again. The counterattack situation that the Chinese army had finally obtained was lost, and the root cause was actually related to someone's private instructions to let a certain Japanese go.
The Taiwan Corps launched a full-scale offensive in the middle of last year, and it took more than half a year to reach Taipei. Then, it looked like it would be able to regain all of Taiwan with one further step. At this time, the Japanese army launched the New Year's Offensive, and the three aircraft carrier fleets of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet stopped. Forced in the military port near Taipei, they completely controlled Taiwan's airspace. With the support of the aviation force, the Japanese army in Taipei survived the most difficult moment. Then, with the 50,000 North Korean puppet troops supporting Taiwan, the Taiwan Corps' military advantage It was canceled out all at once,
Ouyang Yun set up the Taiwan Corps independently when the Xuebing Army was not very strong, and spent a lot of money to support the Taiwan Corps to take root in Taiwan. This is very puzzling and even inexplicable in the eyes of many people, but the Taiwan Corps was successful. It has established a foothold in Taiwan, but the price is too high, so much that many people even think it is not worth it. When they think about it, if this investment is placed in the mainland, perhaps the Xuebing Army has already captured Zhejiang.
Anyone who knows the Commander-in-Chief knows that he rarely engages in loss-making business. So how to explain the affairs of the Taiwan Corps? Only Ouyang Yun himself knows this question.
This is related to the purpose of his time travel. There is only one way for him to change China's embarrassing fate in World War II, and that is to enter the Japanese mainland. If he wants to enter the Japanese mainland, he must have a powerful Deep Blue Navy. Once he wants to develop a navy, , then you must have control of the South China Sea. Otherwise, even if you have enough warships, but the troops cannot be trained, you will not be able to be an opponent of the combined fleet.
For the sake of the navy, we must control Taiwan, and at last we must control southern Taiwan. The most fundamental reason why Ouyang Yun is anxious to establish an air force base in Kaohsiung is to establish an air defense line to prevent the secrets of the South China Sea from being peeked by the Japanese. However, less than a month after the air base was built, the Japanese army suddenly dispatched hundreds of ships and more than 200,000 troops to reinforce Taiwan. Although Ouyang Yun vowed to defend Taiwan's center line at all costs, he also knew , if the Japanese army does not hesitate to use troops in Taiwan, then the Taiwan Corps will definitely not escape the fate of being destroyed in the end. However, for that grand ideal, he still has to give it a try, even if he loses his young submarine force. ,
The submarine force, like the rocket launchers, is another trump card in Ouyang Yun's hands. The submarine force was originally reserved by him to deal with the combined fleet and offset its strength advantage, but now it can only be thrown away as the last bargaining chip.
If the target of Yamamoto Isoroku's Western Expedition Fleet is really Taiwan, then it is definitely a big gamble for the Xuebing Army and Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun has a reason to make a big gamble, because as long as he can persist until 1941, Then there might not be a turning point,
Although the historical trend of this time and space has deviated from the established track, Ouyang Yun believes that next year at the latest, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, will still join this century war. By then, even if the Japanese army is aware of his intentions, it will only I'm afraid I can't change anything,
Ouyang Yun was already ready to give it a go. The day after receiving the information about the departure of the Western Expedition Fleet, he set off for Dongshan County. But at the urging of the commander-in-chief and the guidance of the young student army navy, Ouyang Yun While being encouraged to prepare for all battles, intelligence came from Taiwan: the mighty Japanese fleet suddenly disappeared.
(Old poisoner: For the Indian Ocean, I checked too much information and my head is dizzy. Let’s complete the foreshadowing first. Please forgive me, brothers.)
