Take Taobao to fight against Japan

That is "it is better to chase the poor with the remaining bravery", and they all think that they can take advantage of the victory to chase after them, and they can drive out Little Japan as soon as possible, and let the Chinese nation gain independence and liberation as soon as possible.

"Why, do you guys like fighting so much? We just ended the war of attrition that lasted for more than half a year, and you can't sit still anymore?"

Yang Fan smiled, and did not directly answer Miao Dadong's question. Although he understood Miao Dadong's mood and appreciated their aggressive spirit, he secretly shook his head in his heart.

Chapter 1543

The reason why Yang Fan shook his head secretly was not because of lack of food and ammunition in his hands, although in the tug-of-war of attrition that lasted for several months, the technical equipment and ammunition reserves of the Huben Army were extremely consumed.

But in fact, the inventory in Yang Fan's hands can fully support the army of one million to continue to be reckless for more than two months.

In the case of limited supply and regardless of the cost of casualties, Yang Fan can completely invest more than 200 million troops at one time like the Soviet Red Army to carry out a truly strategic decisive battle against the Japanese army.

Even if the Japanese army went all out to defend, Yang Fan could still achieve a record of annihilating millions of Japanese troops.

It's just that Yang Fan really can't be so ruthless.

Because if you do this, you can only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and you will end up with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

On the European Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army fought fiercely, fighting one after another epic battles that amazed the world.

But in fact, eight hundred enemies were killed each time and one thousand was lost. In which battle did the Soviet Red Army not suffer hundreds of thousands or even millions of casualties?

Just like the just-concluded Battle of Kursk, although the Soviet Red Army won the final victory, it also paid a huge price of 90 million casualties in the end.

The reason why the Soviet-German battlefield is called the most tragic and bloody battlefield in the twentieth century is not for nothing, but because the war caused astonishing casualties.

In World War II, about 7000 million people died directly from war and war-related reasons (such as disasters caused by war, famine, lack of medical care, spread of infectious diseases, conscription, labor recruitment, massacres, etc.).

Among the 7000 million people, the Soviet Union accounted for 2660 million, of which 688.5 million were killed in combat. If the 50 who died on the way to the front line and the number who died after being captured were added, the total number of Soviet troops who died was 916.48 million.

What kind of concept is a total of 916.48 deaths in the army, but anyone with a little common sense knows what this heavy data means!

How can Yang Fan afford such a large casualty price if it is placed on the side of the Huben army?

If Yang Fan hadn't been a time traveler and didn't know about the historical trend and the atomic bomb, he might have hardened his heart and tried every means to continue the attack, and he might even use the Soviet's human sea tactics to fight the Japanese army for consumption.

But the problem is that Yang Fan knows very well that the atomic bomb will be released in a year or two. At that time, the Americans only need to plant two mushrooms on the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese army of more than 700 million troops should obediently raise their hands and surrender. .

Faced with this situation, how could Yang Fan be so ruthless that he let his troops and millions of Japanese troops be reckless to the end, ruining hundreds of thousands or even millions of young lives?

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is no existential crisis.

If the Japanese army wants to concentrate all its strength and encircle and suppress the Huben army at all costs, Yang Fan will never hesitate, and will only concentrate all his strength to fight the Japanese army to the end!

Conversely, Yang Fan would never organize a strategic offensive of millions of people like the Soviet Red Army without necessity, and then kill or injure hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in just one or two months.

The battle must be fought, and it must be fought with momentum and prestige, so that the Japanese devils and the world powers will know the majesty and power of the Chinese army, so that peace and stability can be truly achieved in the future.

But it is absolutely impossible to use millions of lives to fill up the crazy output like the Soviet Red Army regardless of the cost of casualties!

In that case, even if he can leave his name in history and create a glorious victory that has never been seen before, Yang will only be filled with guilt, not the pride of success.

Well, this is exactly what the saying "Life is like a play depends on acting skills" is right here.

In fact, Yang Fan is not purely acting like this, nor is he passively waiting for the atomic bomb, but has been doing his best to develop obscenely.

Today, Yang Fan has gathered a large number of high-tech talents, established a series of secret research bases, and is really working hard to develop various high-tech weapons that span the era.

Although things like atomic bombs are not something that can be done just by thinking about it, there is still hope that conventional weapons such as jet fighters and missiles can be successfully developed by themselves.

Seeing that Yang Fan didn't seem to agree, Miao Dadong said with a smile: "Boss, we are indeed a little too hasty. The Japanese army is still very strong. The most urgent thing is that we should accumulate more food and slowly become the king!"

"You don't need to explain, I can understand your feelings very well, your thoughts are very good, and it should be like this to be a soldier! It's just that there are some things that I can't tell you right now!"

Yang Fan waved his hand with a smile, and said in a deep voice, "One day in the future, you will all understand why I adopted such a strategy and tactics!"

"Okay! We all follow the chief's arrangement!"

"Understood! The Chief is far-sighted, and there must be a deep meaning in doing so!"

"Everything you listen to the chief seat is sure to be right!"

Seeing that Yang Fan had reached this point, Miao Dadong and the others nodded repeatedly.

They all subconsciously made up their minds: Hmm.This must be a secret that must not be leaked, it must be that Yang Fan has already arranged a backup, or the chief executive has some big killer in preparation.

Thinking of this, everyone took orders one after another, no longer asking for an immediate battle, and anxiously wanting to launch a large-scale military attack again.

"Well, everything is according to the original plan, and a large-scale ground counterattack will be launched in two months. Recently, we are still focusing on the battle for air supremacy and strategic bombing!"

Yang Fan didn't explain too much, because he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply opened another topic and discussed the issue of strategic bombing in detail.

Now the frontline battlefield of the Huben Army has penetrated into the territory of Hebei, greatly shortening the straight-line distance from the puppet Manchukuo, coupled with the equipment of a large number of B-29 bombers and P-47N fighter jets.

Yang Fan does have the ability to carry out continuous strategic bombing of the puppet Manchukuo industrial base in order to weaken the Japanese government's war potential.

Even though it will cost a lot of casualties, this is something that must be done now.

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Fan to bomb the entire city indiscriminately and on a large scale. He will do his best to control the scope of the bombing to the Japanese military enterprises, and try not to hurt innocent Chinese people.

Although this would be a bit of a trick and greatly affect the bombing effect, it could only be so, after all, blood is thicker than water.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking the Worcester-class cruiser and its production line, please check it carefully."

A few days later, when he was idle at home, Yang Fan suddenly received a system prompt, and this time he actually unlocked a Wouters-class cruiser, which is known as the strongest artillery anti-aircraft cruiser in the history of World War II.

Chapter 1544 There Are Never Too Many Good Things

"Worcester-class cruiser? This one is possible!"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, he knew the ins and outs of this American anti-aircraft cruiser with the strongest artillery, which was about to come out but was born at an untimely time.

This matter began in 1940. When the top U.S. Navy saw the actual combat records of the British Royal Navy in Europe, they began to think about equipping the U.S. fleet with a weapon that could provide air protection for the entire fleet under large-scale air raids. dedicated heavy fire anti-aircraft cruiser.

Especially in 1941, the British Royal Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Crete.

Under the large-scale air strikes of the German army, 3 cruisers and 6 destroyers of the Royal Navy were sunk, and 2 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier were severely damaged.

So in this case, the US new fleet air defense cruiser plan was launched urgently,

By July 1943, the design of the 7-inch gun anti-aircraft cruiser was submitted, and the first order of 6 ships was subsequently approved by Congress for inclusion in the budget.

The Worcester class adopts the flat-deck ship type commonly used by the U.S. Navy, with a length of 202 meters, a width of 21.5 meters, a draft of 7.9 meters, a displacement of 14700 tons, a maximum speed of 33 knots, an endurance of 14816 kilometers, and a crew of 1470.

Although the displacement is only lower than that of the Des Moines class heavy cruiser and surpasses all cruisers in the world including the Baltimore class heavy cruiser, it is still called a light cruiser because it is only equipped with a 6-inch (152 mm) gun.

Equipped weapon system:

Main guns: 12 MK16 47-caliber 152mm dual-purpose guns.

This is the world's first true 6-inch dual-mounted turret. The rotation of the turret and the pitch speed of the artillery can both achieve air defense purposes.

The biggest feature of this turret is that it is equipped with a set of dual-purpose bomb raising mechanism, which can realize automatic loading at any angle, which is especially beneficial for air defense operations.

辅助火力为24门3英寸50倍径速射炮，其中22门为双联装方式，此外还有16门20毫米厄利孔机关炮。

The 6-inch gun is matched with four Mk4 directors, which can take into account the functions of anti-aircraft and flat fire.

其配套的目标探测器为Mk12搜索雷达，对空和对海有效探测距离为41公里和37公里，距离方位误差为8米和3密位。

The accuracy is extremely high for the current technology level, so the Mk37 is considered to be the best fire control device of World War II.

The 3-inch gun is equipped with four Mk4 directors, which can deal with multiple incoming targets.

The two aircraft catapults were not installed between the front and rear bridges, but placed on the stern of the ship. There is also a hangar with elevators under the deck, which can carry 2 seaplanes.

In order to cope with air threats, the Worcester-class heavy fire anti-aircraft cruiser has very strong horizontal protection. The main armor belt outside the side boiler cabin is 127 mm thick, about 115 meters long and 2.9 meters wide; after going deep into the water for 1.5 meters, the thickness reduced to 76 mm.

The Worcester-class cruisers are the last full-ship gun-type light cruisers of the U.S. Navy, but due to the end of the war, the last train did not catch up, and only two ships were completed.

Moreover, with the end of an era and the rapid development of missile technology, these two heavy-fire anti-aircraft cruisers have very limited use after the war.

During his short service career, he basically had nothing to do, and in the end he could only use "untimely birth" to describe his tragic historical fate.

But fortunately, when we arrived at Yang Fan's place, it was a few years earlier. According to the production progress given by the system, Yang Fan could successfully produce the first Worcester-class heavy-fire anti-aircraft cruiser around August 1944.

Although there may only be one year before the end of World War II, and with the advent of the missile era, traditional artillery warships will no longer have value, but for Yang Fan, this strongest artillery anti-aircraft cruiser is still very fragrant.

Because its maximum speed reaches 33 knots, it can completely accompany high-speed battleships and aircraft carriers to perform formation combat missions, and it will definitely play a huge role in the last year.

In addition, introducing the production line of the cruiser from the system can also greatly improve its own shipbuilding and design capabilities, and obtain a lot of new military technology, which will greatly promote the development of naval military technology in the future.

And even if the production of up to four or five Worcester-class cruisers should be discontinued, this production line can be upgraded at that time, converted to other types of ships, or directly converted to civilian use.

So no matter from which point of view, Yang Fan will not suffer a loss. After all, his own system is still very protective, and it is impossible to deceive and waste Yang Fan's financial resources maliciously.

"The entire production line has 30 billion wealth points. It takes 6 months to build the production line and 6 months for the ship production cycle? Well, although it is a bit expensive and the time is a bit long, it is really worth the money, and it must be done!"

After reading the parameters and information provided by the system, Yang Fan finally decided to immediately introduce this production line of the strongest artillery anti-aircraft cruiser. Anyway, he is not short of money now, so he can spend money to buy experience and technology.

Thoughts command actions. Now that he has made up his mind, Yang Fan has no reason to hesitate, and immediately called his father-in-law Wu Rongbang, Secretary-General Liu Chengchang and others to arrange matters related to the location and construction of the cruiser shipyard.

"What? Can we build our own cruiser soon? And is it an air defense heavy fire cruiser that is not weaker than a heavy cruiser?"

"Wow, Chief, you are really amazing! Such an advanced production line can be obtained!"

"That's great, there's never too much of a good thing!"

"Yes, with these advanced ship manufacturing technologies, we can take another big step forward!"

After listening to Yang Fan's explanation, Wu Rongbang, Liu Chengchang and others were all joyful and excited.

In fact, what they don't know is that Yang Fan can even build the production line of battleships now, but that thing not only costs up to 50 billion wealth points, but also the subsequent financial and material resources will be even greater.

But battleships are outdated in the current era, so there is absolutely no need for Yang Fan to spend money and money on such big guys.

Conversely, this latest Worcester-class cruiser is not only useful, but also has many new technologies that are very useful. Compared with battleships, its cost performance is not known to be many times higher.

"Hey, our navy can finally have a big guy who can handle it!"

At this time, Cang Junquan, the deputy commander of the navy, scratched his head and smiled honestly, with an extremely happy and proud smile on his face.

Hearing this, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly: "Deputy Commander Cang, even if our navy removes the naval fleets for expeditions to the Pacific Ocean and Burma, our Shandong Navy has more than a hundred ships, large and small, why do you still think Can't you take it out?"

Chapter 1545 Guadalcanal Island

Cang Junquan quickly explained: "Boss, that's not what I mean. Our navy, with the full support of the boss, has already completed the transformation process from nothing to something, from existence to strength.

Although there is still a long way to go compared with the naval powers such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, I dare to say with confidence that our Huben Navy has long been ranked first in the world. "

After some ambitious self-promotion, Cang Junquan showed a flattering smile in an instant and said: "But it's still the old saying that you can't overwhelm yourself with too many good things, who would hate too much good things?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"That's right, foreigners and little devils knocked on the gate of our country with the help of big ships and cannons, and made our country suffer nearly a hundred years of humiliation!"

"Well, if we can, we should indeed have a few decent heavy ships. This is not only a symbol of strength, but also can promote our country's prestige, so that those big powers will not dare to have bad ideas about our country."

After Cang Junquan finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded and agreed, their eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that they were also very eager for Yang Fan to get more big guys back.

Not only the Japanese have a strong complex of big ships and cannons, but the vast majority of people on earth, including Huaxia, have the complex of "the one who wins the big ships and cannons wins the world".

After all, in the current era, there are no atomic bombs, no precision-guided missiles, and no sophisticated long-range strategic weapons. Large-caliber naval guns still play a pivotal role to some extent.

They are still symbols of strength and belief in most people's minds.

Although the current Huben Army already has a very powerful aircraft carrier battle group, there are a large number of destroyers, submarines, supply ships, and various small-tonnage frigates and patrol boats.

However, cruisers and battleships are basically still in a blank state, that is, the Huben Navy, which was on an expedition to the Pacific battlefield, purchased a light cruiser from the Americans to fill the scene.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, especially in the eyes of Huben naval officers and soldiers, they are extremely eager to get enough cruisers, battleships, and battlecruisers for themselves.

Because only with these "big powers and heavy weapons", the Huben Navy can be considered complete and perfect, so that they will feel that their navy has become a truly powerful navy.

"Okay, I understand what you mean!"

Yang Fan nodded with a smile, and then continued, "It's just that you have to eat every bite, some things can't be rushed, and the times are constantly changing, we can't be stubborn, and our ideas have to keep up with the pace of the times, otherwise we can only be Get twice the result with half the effort!"

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Fan to tell everyone directly, "It will not take two or three years, not to mention that the battleships that are outdated by the times will not have much use for them, even the cruiser production line that I am about to launch will have to be eliminated."

At this time, he could only be vague and inoculate everyone.

"The Chief is far-sighted, I can't wait!"

Cang Junquan nodded with a smile, and then asked with a smile, "Boss, I heard that the United Pacific Fleet is stepping up its offensive a few days ago. It seems that a new offensive will be launched soon?"

"Yeah, I sincerely hope that they can come over quickly, and then we can join forces and launch a full-scale attack on the little devil!"

"Well, then I'll see how the little devil can stop it!"

"That's right, as long as the devil's overseas colonies are completely cut off, and even strategic bombing can be carried out on their homeland, they will be at their wit's end."
