New Warlords 1909

However, these problems are dealt with by the staff and headquarters. In Hua Fei's mind, he is thinking about another thing, which is to make a fool of himself. Can this bold plan really succeed?

That's right, although Hua Fei transferred many of the army's corps to the north, and even transferred [-]% of the army's armored corps to the north, but if the intelligence agencies of the empire are strong enough, they will find that the number of the main force of the Chinese National Defense Army seems a bit strange.If this is not a fatal doubt, then the main force of the air force in the north, especially the number of bombers, makes people have to doubt it.Why did the Wehrmacht only dispatch less than one-third of its bombers to the north at most, and they were all old short-range bombers?Is the Wehrmacht trying to rely on tanks whose performance is not very stable?Or is it that their tank performance has been fundamentally improved and they want to show off their might?

If foreign intelligence agencies can obtain such information with such accuracy, even a military cadet with a little military common sense can see that this is not unusual.But at this moment, except for the people in this hut and very few other people who know the answer, others will not know for the time being. At this moment, Hua Fei's focus has drifted to the south, to the sea.

299 Taiwan Landing Battle

The Northeast issue is currently the most troublesome issue for the central government in Nanjing.It is also a huge test for the Wehrmacht.At the beginning, Hua Fei insisted not to send troops to the Northeast, and let the Japanese army stay in the Northeast for several years. The impact on Hua Fei's reputation and prestige was incalculable.Even the Fengjun who surrendered, after not seeing the central government's use of troops against the Northeast for a long time, the morale of the army fluctuated and they complained deeply.If it weren't for Zhang Xueliang and other generals of the Fengjun who were quite advantageous in their restraint, I am afraid that Fengjun would have made many mistakes.

Northeast China is different from Shandong. If the Japanese army stationed in Shandong to stabilize their footsteps, it would be like driving a nail into the heart of China. From the top, they could attack Beijing and Tianjin, and from the bottom, they could contain East China and the Yangtze River Basin.Moreover, Shandong is very close to the territory of the original autonomous region. No matter from the consideration of actual security, or in order to gain prestige and prestige and increase the influence of the National Defense Forces at that time, Hua Fei took the initiative to attack the Japanese army in Shandong, which was an extremely dangerous move. .It can be said that there are many benefits if you win, but if you lose, the National Defense Forces will inevitably pay a heavy price for it.

The difference between Northeast China and Shandong lies in the fact that the National Defense Forces were the first to be captured by the Japanese army in Northeast China.The Beiyang Army, the Southern Army, and warlords are all over the place, and the whole of China is still in a situation of scattered central government without de facto unity.If the national defense force sends troops to the Northeast again, the journey will be far away, not to mention the damage to a large number of soldiers and equipment. Even if it wins, it will inevitably lose its vitality, allowing other forces to take advantage of it, and the road to national reunification will inevitably be delayed.Moreover, the number of troops dispatched by the Japanese army to capture the Northeast this time is quite different from that of Shandong, and it is backed by the colony of North Korea. Whether it is reinforcements or later support, it is not the same.

Later, the National Defense Forces unified Beijing, but the Southern Army still had de facto divisions. The National Defense Forces after incorporating the Beiyang Army seemed to have grown a lot, but the actual strength growth was limited.Because the expansion of the territory requires more standing armies, and the expansion of the number of troops requires more military weapons and equipment.On the premise that fiscal revenue has not increased significantly, various expenditures have increased sharply, and military expenditures have to maintain a low growth rate, so the increase in military strength is limited.

Later, the South was newly established, and Japan had been stationed in the Northeast for several years. Although the initial guerrilla tactics caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese, as their strength increased, the impact of small-scale guerrilla harassment tactics was limited.If the country has just been unified and internal and external unstable factors are still in turmoil, rush to the Northeast.Obviously it was a reckless move.

Although China has greatly improved both in terms of military strength and national strength in recent years, there is still a distance compared to Japan.After all, China has only had ten years of development time since the Meiji Restoration, or after the Sino-Japanese War, and Japan has developed rapidly for more than [-] years. No muscle damage.With its rich historical accumulation, Japan still has a great advantage over the current China in most fields.

Leaving aside the economic aspect, for Japan, which has completed the industrial revolution long ago, China is still carrying out comprehensive industrial infrastructure construction. It may take more than ten years to fully improve the industrial foundation.From the perspective of military strength alone, China may have an advantage over Japan even if it is the air force.As the Japanese military attaches great importance to the air force, the gap between the Chinese and Japanese air forces is slowly narrowing.

And the most proud army is China's biggest trump card.No matter how advanced the current air force technology is, most of it exists as an auxiliary arm of the army, and it cannot achieve the pure air long-range precision strike technology of later generations.Relying on its population advantage, China's well-trained and experienced ace troops are not inferior to Japan's weapons and equipment.And occupy the home court advantage, with a great chance of winning.

And if a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, the Japanese navy will inevitably play, which is also China's current weakness.Naval development not only requires a lot of money, but also time.The asymmetrical advantages of the Chinese navy, such as submarine superiority and naval aviation superiority, once caused considerable losses to Japan. However, as Japan has focused on the development of anti-submarine and air defense forces in recent years, this asymmetrical advantage of China is also being weakened.

That is to say, if the Nanjing government uses troops against the Northeast immediately after pacifying the southern army, not only will it be difficult to maintain huge economic consumption, but the army will also be unable to support continuous use of troops.With so many Japanese troops stationed in the Northeast, once troops are used, it may be difficult for the war to end in a short period of time.What kind of result is likely to be waiting for China in that way, defeating Japan, but China will only win a series of victories, and its national strength will be greatly consumed.The war could not be dragged on, troops were withdrawn from the Northeast, troops were lost and generals were lost, and Japan also consumed a lot of strength.No matter what kind of result, it is not what Hua Fei wants to see.Because Hua Fei understands that there is a bigger crisis waiting for China, or the world, and their time is no longer far away.

It's just that Hua Fei didn't expect that the Great Kanto Earthquake would bring great opportunities to China.This major earthquake not only caused great damage to Japan's industrial center, but also caused turmoil in the Japanese government, which has not yet fully recovered.Moreover, the hearts of the people in Japan are floating.All kinds of materials are extremely tense, and the Northeast Army stationed in the Northeast is also panicked.In particular, the massacre of Koreans in Japan was spread to the ears of the Korean puppet army in the northeast, which undoubtedly had a great impact on the rift between the Korean army and the Japanese army.

Although the Northeast is China's territory, although the Chinese army does not need any excuses to take back its own territory, this is a matter of course.Although in some ways, what China wants to do is to add fuel to the fire and make things worse.But on the bright side, China still has to work hard. This is not only a political trick, but also a strategic offensive.For example, donating money and materials, aiding Japanese disaster victims, such as the massacre of villages in the Northeast, and fueling the hatred between the Koreans and the Japanese. All of these will not only weaken Japan’s power, but also minimize the negative impact of China’s dispatch of troops to the Northeast. Also before the war, psychological warfare was used to gain a psychological advantage in this war.Weaken the resistance will of the Japanese Tohoku Army and strengthen the fighting spirit and revenge desire of the National Defense Forces.

The chess laid out step by step, one ring after another, even some sinister tricks.Of course it wasn't from Hua Fei's hand, but also from the first counselor with obvious personal brand.All over the world, there may be many people who can guess the details of this based on the cause and effect, but most of these are guesses after the fact.And even if you can guess the mystery here, there is really no better way to deal with it than lamenting the inscrutability of the person who came up with this trick.

In the winter of 1923, when the National Defense Forces annexed the north and was about to start the Northeast War, China's military deployment successfully mobilized Japan's vision.Japan not only stationed more than half of its air force in North Korea, but also transferred all the troops that could be mobilized to the Northeast.The main fleet of the Japanese Navy also transferred all the warships they could mobilize to the Sea of ​​Japan.The Yellow River, the Korean Gulf, and the Bohai Strait had a large number of mines and the concentration of Chinese submarine activities. I am afraid that the Japanese navy would have entered the Bohai Bay long ago, posing a direct threat to China's Tianjin and other places from the sea.

People did not expect that after successfully mobilizing Japan's military power, and even shifting the attention of people all over the world to the northeast, elite soldiers were gathering along the coast of Fujian.A large number of submarines have long been patrolling the Taiwan Strait and nearby waters, and many intelligence personnel have long infiltrated into the mainland of Taiwan, and the number of reconnaissance aircraft in the air has also increased to a certain extent.

In Taiwan, Major Motomura of the Japanese Army held the latest piece of information in his hand, and the wrinkles on his brows became more and more complicated.The chief shepherd of this village, as a major, led a brigade (battalion) of troops stationed outside Kaohsiung City, responsible for the security defense of Kaohsiung and its vicinity.The information in the hands of the shepherd of this village can't stop him from worrying. In the past few days, the Japanese patrol team has discovered more than ten suspicious espionage activities and captured an enemy scout, but the scout seems to have nowhere to go. When fleeing, he swallowed a gun and committed suicide, so there was no confession at all.

Moreover, according to observations, the number of reconnaissance planes in the sky has also increased significantly in recent years. Although the increase is very limited, it still makes the head of the village feel extremely uneasy. A dangerous omen rises in his heart, and he can no longer contain it .What is especially strange is that the number of ships on the usually busy Taiwan Strait sea route has decreased in the past two days. Especially today, the shepherd of the village stood on the high ground with a telescope and watched for more than half an hour, but he couldn't see a ship. Merchant ships from China.

Because the Northeast War is full of winds and clouds and is about to break out, the current focus of the Japanese cabinet and military is all on the north.Taiwan's military strength is not much. This time, because it wants to support the war in the Northeast, it has forced a brigade to withdraw troops from Taiwan.This result and the current various strange phenomena made the uneasiness in the heart of the chief shepherd of the village more and more intensified.Although he has telegraphed his doubts to the Taiwan Governor's Office, so far.Haven't heard back yet.

Looking at the burning sunset in the sky, the shepherd of this village sighed and asked the guard behind him, "Tell me, what is the purpose of us leaving our hometown, leaving our parents, wife and children, and staying on this island for a few years? ?”

Several guards looked at me and I looked at you, but no one responded.The chief shepherd of this village seemed to be used to this atmosphere, and suddenly became a little excited, "Because this seemingly ordinary island is directly related to the life and death of our Yamato nation. The island where our nation is located lacks resources. There are countless disasters. Our ancestors and descendants will always live in a land without a sense of security. This is the eternal pain of our Yamato nation. Northeast Manchuria is of course very important to our Yamato, but this island of Taiwan is our sea route to the south Strategic hub. If we lose Taiwan, our passage to the south will be controlled by others, and the destiny and future of our nation will be completely lost and controlled by others. Do you understand? We are standing here at the moment, not guarding this land, we are guarding What we are protecting is the future of the Yamato nation, and what we are protecting is the safety of our children and grandchildren, forever!"

The guards are all very young soldiers, and they have obviously been brainwashed by the major all the year round. After hearing these words, all of them have completely different mental states. became more exciting.

"Pass my order, these days, strengthen vigilance, adopt the highest wartime vigilance, and prevent all possible emergencies!"

What the chief shepherd of this village didn't know was that his restless vigilance and his highest alert order caused the National Defense Forces to suffer the greatest loss in all the battles of the Taiwan War when they attacked Taiwan.Of course, one or two episodes cannot change history, and some processes cannot be reversed by the efforts of a few people.

Just as the chief shepherd of the village issued the order to strengthen the vigilance, groups of heavily armed soldiers began to board the ship silently along the coast of Fujian.Due to tactical constraints, most of them took wooden fishing boats and small passenger ship carriers.Judging from their weapons, equipment and expressions, most of them are not rookies, and have not experienced the baptism of several life-and-death battles. It is absolutely impossible to maintain such calmness and composure before a big battle.

As night fell, fishing boats sailed towards the opposite bank of the strait at low speed.At this time, more military transport ships docked under heavy camouflage, and a large number of soldiers began to board the ships. At the same time, artillery, heavy machine guns, howitzers, grenades, rockets and even armored personnel carriers began to board the ships. There are also a large number of destroyers, cruisers and gunboats of the First Fleet as the sea support firepower for the landing battle.

Borrowing the military issue in Northeast China, it attracted the attention of Japan, and took advantage of the emptiness of Taiwan's military power to take Taiwan.As long as Taiwan is captured, Japan will have to pay a higher price if it wants to capture Taiwan again, and it may not be successful.Taking Taiwan is not only a matter of territorial unification and sovereignty integrity for China. With Taiwan as a strategic base, and then solving the Japanese army in the Northeast, China will have more strategic maneuvers. For the Japanese navy, it will have more control. Great initiative.

The army in charge of attacking Taiwan this time has more than 7 troops from the two armies. Among them, those responsible for the vanguard attack are excellent combatants selected from the ace army and the navy. They secretly trained to learn swimming, parachuting, blasting, diving, climbing, and skiing. , Car and boat driving, grappling and fighting, direction judgment, map recognition and other special skills, except in some special fields and some training intensity is not as good as that of the Poison Special Forces, the training intensity of the Marine Corps is also one of the best in the army.

The main plan for attacking Taiwan this time is still based on a sneak attack, a secret landing, a strong attack on the coastal defense strongholds, and then a large number of troops start landing, and then cooperate with the air force to launch a full-scale attack, take the entire territory of Taiwan in the shortest time, and must react in Japan Before coming over, end the battle, at least so that the Japanese reinforcements can't arrive in time.

The destroyers and gunboats of the navy used fire support in the battle to seize coastal strongholds, or cooperated with the landing force to launch a storm after the sneak attack failed.This time the attack on Taiwan adopted the tactics of all-round development and concentrated strikes. The landing operations were carried out in an all-round way on the west coast of the island of Taiwan.In this way, even if the landing attempt was discovered by the Japanese army, they would not be able to find the landing point, be unable to make a quick and effective response, and be unable to figure out the reality of the landing force.After landing, the troops quickly concentrated, and after the concentration, they launched a land war in an all-round way.

The plan was well formulated, and the troops were all the elite of the National Defense Forces, and they were fully prepared for this crossing operation. Not only the marines who were in the vanguard, but even other troops also had basic swimming training.In terms of numbers, the National Defense Forces also have an advantage. Compared with Taiwan's less than three divisions and less than 3 troops, the National Defense Forces also have a quantitative advantage.The only thing to worry about is that Japan cannot be aware of their tactical attempt to capture Taiwan. Otherwise, with the strong support of the Japanese navy, the war of the National Defense Forces will become extremely difficult.

Cheng Kun has been in the army for five years. Although he is not a veteran in the National Defense Forces, especially in these ace troops, no one can refute his status as a veteran.In the past five years, Cheng Kun has participated in many battles and disaster relief. From a young boy who was only 17 years old, he has become a soldier who has gone through vicissitudes and war wounds and made several military exploits.Cheng Kun didn't remember that he had been injured many times, and he didn't remember his real age. He only knew that he could wear a few medals on his chest, and that he would be able to go home after staying in the army for a few more years.

"Third son, I heard that your piggy has gone to the nest again?"

"Yes, my parents wrote to say that my sow is really struggling. She has produced more than a dozen piglets for my family, but it sold for a lot of money. I replied, this heroic pig Sows cannot be sold, let alone killed. When I fight for the country and the president for a few more years, and when the country is stable, I will go home and raise pigs!"

"Third brother, when the time comes, you sell me two little piglets. I don't know anything except fighting. After I retire, I'm afraid I can only go home and learn how to raise pigs with you, third brother!"

"Haha, no problem, I'll give you two little pigs, but you can't be addicted to alcohol, drink the piglets, then I'll never end with you!"

"Be the captain, when the battle is over, what are you going to do when you go home?"

Although Cheng Kun was not the oldest on this ship, he had the highest military age, combat achievements, and military rank.Hearing someone ask him, Cheng Kun turned his head, smiled reluctantly and said, "After I retire, I can get a retirement bonus of one or two thousand, go home and buy some fields, and then farm. My parents are all farming, I also grew up in the land. The President said that food is the fundamental lifeblood of the country, and I only hope that we can grow some food so that the country's lifeblood will not be endangered!"

The literacy level of the young people on this fishing boat is generally not high, and many of them basically eliminated illiteracy after they joined the army.As soon as Cheng Kun said this, someone next to him laughed and said, "Third brother, you see that the consciousness of being a leader is higher than yours! You only know how to raise your pigs, waste food, and damage the lifeblood of the country. I think You might as well sell your hero sow, and become a captain to buy land and farm."

"No... no, I told my parents that we want to take care of our hero sow. He has contributed too much to our family. We can't eat meat and forget about pigs."

"The President said that food is the lifeblood of the country's security. This pork is also a kind of food. It is also very necessary to improve the people's material living standards. My family has more food, and maybe I have to raise a few pigs. It was introduced from the old three family at that time."

"Yes, yes, the captain has a high level of education, so what he said is reasonable. Captain, I will give you and Xiaoyi a piglet. Others who want the breeding of our hero sow have to exchange it with food!"

"Haha..." Looking at the anxious look of the third child, as if he was worried that everyone would ask him for piglets, the tone he added hastily made the whole fishing boat burst into laughter, if it weren't for the guns on their shoulders and their suits No one would believe that they are a group of soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield, and they still have such a relaxed attitude before the battle. This not only requires the experience of many battles, but also a deep-rooted tradition of the National Defense Forces.

The moonlight in the sky shines on the fishing boat through the clouds from time to time, looking at the sea surface fluctuating with the wind, the visibility is very limited, the leaders are fishermen who are familiar with this sea area, and the fishing lights behind the boat flicker on and off, every flickering and off There is a certain time interval between them, which not only maintains the route connection, but also minimizes the possibility of exposing the whereabouts.

"After taking Taiwan and recovering the Northeast, I applied for retirement. My parents wrote to me many times, and they introduced me to a girl at home. I am not young, and it is time to get married. It is time for us to get married. !" Cheng Kun sat up on his knees, stretched out his head to look out of the window, and the limited visibility made him unable to see anything.

"Captain, why don't you write a letter and ask a girl to come to the army to marry you, so that we can have a wedding wine!"

"You are only worried about your wine, Captain. I think it is feasible for the troops to get married. Let your comrades have fun for you. You can make up for the banquet at home! The most important thing is, let's see what my sister-in-law looks like." What does it look like!"

"Go ahead, the captain hasn't seen what it looks like yet, so if you look at it with a dog's eyes, wouldn't it be a waste!"

"You...you dog mouth..."

"By the way, captain, do you have any photos? Show the brothers?"

Mentioning the girl, Cheng Kun smiled very sweetly on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, I have been hiding in my arms, but now the lights are out. After we finish this battle, I will show you when I go back."

"Wow, Captain, you are so tight with us. If you hadn't asked me today, you would have kept you in the dark, brothers!"

"Hush!" A deep voice came from the bow, "Silence signal, prepare for the landing battle!"

Everyone put away their smiling faces immediately, and checked their guns and ammunition and equipment with the help of the hazy night.Some people began to exercise their muscles and bones, some shook the helmets on their heads to make them more comfortable to wear, and some still sat there with their eyes closed, as if they were taking a nap.

"The third child!" Cheng Kun lowered his voice and shouted with some panic in his heart.

"Huh? Captain, what's the matter? Don't worry, I will definitely keep two piggies for you, there will be no mistakes!"

"Third, if...if I...if I can't go back, help me take the photo in my arms back to my parents, and tell that girl not to..."
