In 1942, the Second World War suddenly developed like this. Although this was what Ouyang Yun expected, it also made him feel uneasy. He didn't know whether what awaited China would be a blessing or a curse. Roosevelt's request for help The deep thought caused by the telegram allowed him to finally understand the truth. No matter how the world war situation changes, there is only one way for him to complete the time-travel mission entrusted by General Chen, and that is to ensure that his own abilities are strong enough. Only in this way can he stand up Only in an invincible position can it be possible to obtain sufficient benefits from this unprecedented war. The World War II brought the two superpowers together. For a long time thereafter, the earth operated according to the will of these two superpowers. And China has also become one of the victims. Ouyang Yun himself may not have the ambition to dominate the world, but the will of the country has decided that if he wants China to truly stand among the nations of the world, then he can only follow the current path. Go ahead and make the Xuebing Army stronger, and then let China become the maker of the world order.
With this belief firmly in mind, Ouyang Yun became extremely realistic, so he no longer evaded Roosevelt's request for help. Instead, he opened his mouth and laid out the conditions for two aircraft carrier fleets. A standard aircraft carrier fleet would include one aircraft carrier and two aircraft carriers. A heavy cruiser, three destroyers, two submarines, and two supply ships, converted into U.S. dollars, it is about 800 million U.S. dollars. At this time, 800 million U.S. dollars is an astronomical figure, so when Ouyang Yun offered such conditions, People familiar with the Xuebing Army thought that he did not want to agree to the Americans' demands at all, and was deliberately setting out conditions that the other party could not accept. Therefore, when he signed an agreement with George and obtained the ownership contract documents for the two aircraft carrier fleets, , the insiders were all shocked. When Ouyang Yun first started to build the aircraft carrier fleet, there were many opponents among the senior leaders of the Xuebing Army. The main reason for their opposition was that from an economic point of view, they believed that the merger of the Xuebing Army was not yet possible. This economic capacity; secondly, considering the needs of war, it is believed that the main battlefield of the Xuebing Army is at home rather than abroad, so building an ocean-going fleet is somewhat redundant. However, senior political officials such as Jiang Shuren, who are particularly aware of the financial situation of the Xuebing Army, privately When talking about this matter, I firmly believe that the Xuebing Army is currently not capable of building a large-scale ocean-going fleet. The commander-in-chief's move is likely to be based on the maritime complex as Westerners say, just for fun.
The facts blinded their eyes. The Xuebing Army did not invest too much money, but the Xuebing Fleet was successfully built. Not only that, in just over two years, the Xuebing Fleet became a powerful force with With the super fleet of three aircraft carriers and two battleships, the Pacific Fleet is no longer a military secret, and relevant reports have appeared in the media. The soldiers and civilians under the Xuebing Army are certainly very happy, and the morale of the people has been boosted. The doubters finally shut up. When Ouyang Yun established the ocean fleet, Jiang Guangnai was also one of the opponents. Jiang Guangnai had only one reason for his opposition. He believed that when most of the country was lost, the main battlefield of the Xuebing Army was on land. At that time, investing too many resources in developing an ocean-going navy was a waste of time and would affect the land war situation. Now, after the Pacific Fleet successfully withdrew the American-American coalition forces from Mindanao, he realized the benefits of having an ocean-going fleet. He also changed, so when Ouyang Yun showed him the agreement signed with George, he was so shocked that he praised him repeatedly: "I didn't expect that Americans are really willing to spend money. Such a Come on, don’t we have eight aircraft carriers in our fleet?”
"At most, the number will be nine by the end of the year." Ouyang Yun replied with a smile, and then asked: "Has the French Restoration Army responded?"
After Jiang Guangnai and Li Tieshu were transferred to the headquarters, Ouyang Yun not only handed over all the parts that were originally responsible to Li Tieshu to him, but also handed over the liaison work with the Allies to him.
"Xiao Chu called back. Angpos is willing to hand over his troops to us in batches to take to the frontline battlefield for training. The first batch will be four divisions. He also mentioned Angpos's request in the telegram. The French hope that we can support them. Three hundred laser tanks and thirty-six rocket launchers." Jiang Guangnai pulled out a telegram and handed it to Ouyang Yun,
Ouyang Yun took the telegram, looked at it, nodded and said: "Four divisions, that's enough." Then he looked at Jiang Guangnai and said: "I intend to form an aid army to Australia on the basis of the original Second Expeditionary Army. The commander will be Chu Tiange takes charge, Guo Kui and Wang Hai serve as deputy commanders, and Chen Shichang serves as chief of staff. What do you think?"
"I only have one question, what to do with logistical supplies? I suggest we solve it ourselves, because once it is provided by the Americans, what will we do if they use it to threaten us?"
"It is not realistic for us to solve the problem on our own, but we can ask the United States and Australia to supply it in advance and let us distribute it independently."
Jiang Guangnai's biggest worry about the aid operation to Australia came from his distrust of Americans. In terms of his understanding of Western countries, the dark history of the late Qing Dynasty still deeply affected him, so he was very worried that the Americans would use cadet soldiers to go on expeditions. The Second Army was used as cannon fodder. Hearing what Ouyang Yun said, he nodded and said, "That's okay, anyway, the Americans cannot lead our army's aid operations to Australia."
The Second Expeditionary Army received a telegram from the headquarters and began to reorganize. When it intervened in the Australian war situation with a high profile, the Santai guerrilla column led by Fox Shisan in the Santai area of Jiangsu Province was facing the greatest test. Not long ago, Nishio Hisao was commanded In that encirclement and suppression campaign, the Japanese army only had one division, one independent brigade and one division of puppet troops. Moreover, at that time, Nishio Shozo just wanted to solve this hidden danger along the way and was not fully prepared, so in the fox Under Thirteen's deceitful tactics, Nishio Shouzou could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in the end, and therefore lost his position as commander of the China Expeditionary Force.
The elites of divisions and independent brigades of the majestic army were actually played with by a mere Chinese guerrilla group. This was a great shame and humiliation in the eyes of many Japanese soldiers. While they were clamoring for iron-blooded revenge, they also secretly raised their spirits. Therefore, for the first time, the Japanese army dispatched an entire army, three divisions and an independent brigade to encircle and suppress the Santai guerrilla column.
The person responsible for clearing out the Santai guerrilla column was the newly formed 23rd Army. The commander of this army was Takashi Sakai. It had the 38th, 51st, and 104th Divisions, an independent 19th Brigade, and the 23rd Flying Division. and the independent 23rd Tank Brigade,
The reason why the Japanese army behaved so cautiously against a guerrilla column in the encirclement and suppression of a mere area was that it gained wisdom from every experience. Another reason was that the area controlled by the Santai guerrilla column had expanded again. Now, the area controlled by the Santai guerrilla column was not only It covers the entire Santai area, and its tentacles also extend to Yangzhou, Changzhou and Zhenjiang. Among them, Yangzhong Jiangxinzhou, which belongs to Zhenjiang, is completely controlled by the Santai guerrilla column.
History and Takashi Sakai made a joke. No, the accurate statement is that Ouyang Yun and Takashi Sakai made a joke. In that time and space, the Japanese army established the 23rd Army after capturing Guangzhou, and Takashi Sakai became the commander of the army.
Officer, he became a powerful general who dominated southern China early on. However, in this time and space, because the south has become the base of the cadet army, Takashi Sakai's fate has also changed. It is only now that he has the opportunity to become the 23rd general.
commander of the army,
Before Takashi Sakai became the commander of the 23rd Army, he had been active in the northwest and was responsible for the intelligence work of the Japanese army in Manchuria and Mongolia. Perhaps because he had been in charge of intelligence work for a long time, he paid special attention to collecting enemy intelligence, so after receiving the report from the base camp
After the combat mission, he dispatched multiple reconnaissance troops to infiltrate the areas controlled by the Santai Guerrilla Column while dispatching troops, in an attempt to uncover the secret of the Santai Guerrilla Column's ability to repeatedly defeat the strong with the weak through reconnaissance work. Not only that,
The day before he decided to launch an attack, he boarded a bomber and personally conducted a reconnaissance of the Santai area.
During the flight reconnaissance, the old Japanese paid special attention to the pilot to make a few more circles over the port, Jiangxinzhou, and the Balwei Ferry. While he was peering down with his telescope over the port pier and the Balwei Ferry, he said to the adjutant Motoo Ono next to him.
They said almost the same sentence: Do you see, this is where Commander Nishio lost the battle, do you see any difference?
Ono Motoo was very opposed to him taking such a risky move, but Sakai insisted that he had no other choice but to personally accompany the escort. Originally, he was puzzled by Sakai's insistence, but when he heard him say this, he understood a little bit. It was precisely because of Nishio
With the failure of Shouzo, this battle became an opportunity for Sakai. The China Army that defeated the western end was defeated by Sakai-dono, which naturally highlighted Sakai-dono's excellent command ability. The base camp disbanded the China Expeditionary Army and reorganized the Central China Expeditionary Army.
The position of its commander is still pending. If Mr. Sakai can fight this battle well, does that mean he will have a chance to aspire to the top?
The elite imperial army under the personal command of Commander Nishio was defeated by a mere Chinese guerrilla force. This was unbelievable to many Japanese officers. In addition, the commander of this Chinese guerrilla force, Fox Shisan, had the ability to kill the Japanese.
The evil deeds of the number one swordsman in the empire were what the imperial army was eager to eradicate, so they studied this war. Ono also did related research and gained some insights. He said: "Nishio-dono's failure
It is heartbreaking. Beizi thought that his failure had little to do with the terrain. The key was that he acted too hastily. To deal with the guerrilla armed forces, Beiji believed that the safest tactic was to attack slowly and steadily, eating away at their living space bit by bit, forcing China to
People engage in a decisive battle."
Ono's analysis coincided with that of Sakai Takashi. He nodded and smiled and said: "Well said, we will adopt such tactics this time."
