What Chen Cheng is worried about is that the troops of the former Central Army system will be used as cannon fodder by Ouyang Yun. After all, he will go on an expedition to Outer Mongolia and the Far East to compete with more than 1.5 million enemies. Who knows what the final result will be, but... He had no reason to refuse. Except for those who were sent to Australia first, the reorganization of the former Central Army has been completed and is ready for great use. If Ouyang Yun gives the order as the supreme commander at this time, In addition to execution, the various departments of the former Central Army and the current National Defense Force can also rebel. At the beginning of the reorganization, not everyone in the former Central Army wanted to continue to maintain control of the troops through various means, but what was the result? Think about it, it is still scum. Among the several lieutenant general-level figures staying in the cave, Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then how many troops should be dispatched? Five hundred thousand is definitely too little."
Everyone's eyes turned to Ouyang Yun again. Ouyang Yun smiled. He glanced at everyone and said: "Fifty thousand, there is no need for so much, at most three hundred thousand, considering that General Fu Zuoyi, General Hu Li and General Zhang Zizhong are in the northwest. There are still about 100,000 troops. I think it will be enough for the headquarters to mobilize another 200,000 troops. However, these 200,000 troops must be able to fight hard and dare to sacrifice. Otherwise, let alone break the Japanese blockade. , even the severe cold weather in the Far East will defeat them."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all showing doubts. Feng Yuxiang couldn't hold back his words. He asked: "Isn't two hundred thousand too little? Fu Bu, Hu Bu and Zhang Bu. There are more than 100,000 people, but their weapons and equipment..."
"Equipment can be airdropped to them, and this time the troops on the expedition to Outer Mongolia and the Far East will be all mechanized troops. Therefore, as long as they are airdropped with enough conventional infantry weapons, you will not be overwhelmed by the Japanese army's strength. Are you scared, ha, 1.5 million, the number is quite scary, but I think that if 500,000 of them can pose a threat to us, I think the Japanese may not be able to maintain this scale forever. "Ouyang Yun said and turned back, then he personally changed the map of China in front of him to a world map, pointed his command whip towards the Pacific Islands east of New Guinea, and said: "Please see, if our Pacific Fleet goes to If the Japanese army launches an attack on these islands and successfully captures them, what changes will occur."
On this map, using the national flag as a guide, the areas actually controlled by Japan, China, the United States and other countries are marked. This way, users can see the entire situation clearly at a glance. Who can sit here? After long experience in the military, even though he was born with military stupidity, he has developed considerable strategic vision. Feng Yuxiang was the first to speak. He said: "You mean, we launch a counterattack in the Pacific at the same time, forcing the Japanese army to separate from the domestic We have the troops to rescue us, but let alone the Japanese still having a combined fleet, the combined fleet cannot defeat us. What if the Japanese abandon these islands, I think."
Ouyang Yunxiao was about to answer his question when Chen Cheng took over and said loudly: "No, the Japanese will never give up these islands. Why did the Japanese attack Australia? It is for Australia's iron ore. If they continue With Australia's iron ore, Japan can independently support a huge industrial system."
Being interrupted by Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang was very unhappy. He glared at him and asked, "The Japanese invaded Australia for its iron ore. Who said this? The Japanese told you."
It is well known in the headquarters that Feng Yuxiang and Chen Cheng do not want to deal with each other. What Feng Yuxiang said was interesting, "Pfft." Li Jiayu chuckled,
A trace of ferocity flashed in Chen Cheng's eyes, and he looked at Feng Yuxiang and said in a slow tone: "Old Feng, don't just go down to the troops to win people's hearts all day long, go to the information room when you have time, the intelligence there is useful for us to formulate strategic policies. Helpful.”
Feng Yuxiang roared angrily: "Chen, please understand what you said to win people's hearts."
"That's enough." Suddenly, Ouyang Yun slapped the table and shouted loudly: "This is the headquarters, not a vegetable market."
Ouyang Yun was furious, but even Feng Yuxiang didn't dare to get into trouble. He glared at Chen Cheng and sat down in dismay.
Ouyang Yun said: "The Japanese are definitely determined to win Australia. Therefore, islands such as New Ireland Island east of New Guinea and several island groups in the middle of the North Pacific are important to the Japanese. These islands existence, the Japanese army only needs to deploy a small number of troops to establish a strong protective network with the combined fleet. Conversely, if these islands do not exist, how many troops will they need to firmly hold the Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea? Moreover, even if the Japanese really give up these islands, it doesn’t matter, then we will continue to go north to attack the Palau Islands and Guam, directly cutting off the connection between the mainland and Southeast Asia..."
When Ouyang Yun said this, the term "Leapfrog Tactics" flashed in his mind, and his eyes once focused on the Japanese mainland. Zhejiang and Taiwan are now in the hands of the Xuebing Army. In this way, he directly skipped attacking many islands in the Pacific. Japan itself is not impossible, but this may lead to unpredictable consequences. Once Japan is defeated early, or Japan simply moves its government to Manchuria, these subsequent developments are definitely not what he wants to see. In addition, priority should be given to conquering the Pacific. Another advantage of the islands occupied by the Chinese and Japanese troops is that these islands were originally colonies of the United States, Britain and other countries, and were not inherent territories of the United States and Britain. This means that after imitating the Pacific Fleet, they can completely occupy them. There is Karachi in the Indian Ocean. There are Midway Island and Guam in the Pacific. If we get another New Zealand Island or New Britain Island, it will be of great significance to China after the war.
The matter of sending troops to Outer Mongolia and the Far East has now been decided, and the next thing is the selection and combat preparation of the troops. Of course, before that, it is also necessary to sign an effective agreement with the Soviet military delegation.
Three days later, the "Sino-Soviet Chongqing Agreement" was officially signed, which meant that history had entered a new track. What is worth pondering is that in that time and space, between China and the Soviet Union, it was the Soviet Union that forcibly sent troops to the Northeast. And defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army with the power of a rainbow piercing the sun, and then used this as a condition to force the then Republic of China government to agree to the independence of Outer Mongolia. But now, it is China that will send troops to Outer Mongolia and the Far East. Can the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force be able to do what it did? Just like the Soviet Red Army back then, it also gave Japan's most elite Kwantung Army a head-on attack.
