Chapter 951 The war in Haijiang is urgent

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the Army was once again frustrated on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Navy decided to use a major victory to bring an end to the land and sea war.  The Chinese Army has been heavily mobilized. In the view of senior naval officials with a strategic vision, continuing to add troops and ammunition there will not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. After all, China is a big country and can afford such consumption.  .

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? does do is do a lot of work. And when the Chinese army won a great victory, it took the initiative to retreat and stepped up large-scale fortification defense. In fact, it had expressed its determination to maintain a stalemate with Japan.  In this case, why not take advantage of its strong mobility to attack China's long and poorly defended coastal cities?

    In this way, it can not only prevent China from investing heavy troops in North Korea, but also effectively destroy China's potential to continue the war. It can also demonstrate the power of the Imperial Navy - one will win and the other will lose. In the future, the army should put away its military investment.  Do they have a strong voice?  After this war, they should be determined not to insist on the "go north" policy anymore. It's time for our "go south" voice to gain the upper hand, right?

    With this idea in mind, the Navy Ministry and the Combined Fleet Command formulated an attack plan against China's waters.

    Due to the weakness of the Chinese navy, the combined fleet can be safely divided into four. The main First Fleet is still monitoring the movements of China's capable Bohai Fleet in the Yellow Sea. Admiral Naoma Taniguchi is still the commander of the First Fleet, leading  There are dozens of warships led by the battleships "Ise" and "Fuso". Its main target of attack is Qingdao, the home port of the Bohai Fleet;

    The First Support Fleet is responsible for the raids from Qingdao to Shanghai, and is commanded by Major General Takasu Shiro;

    The second-ranking figure in the Combined Fleet and Commander of the Second Fleet is Lieutenant General Eisuke Yamamoto, the head of the aviation headquarters. He is responsible for the important task of annihilating China's second largest fleet, the Yangtze Fleet, from Shanghai to Ningbo. Therefore, the armored cruiser "King Kong"  The "Hiei", "Haruna" and "Kirishima" are all accompanying.

    In order to deal with the threat from the Air Force under the Nanjing Military Region, the "Chicheng" aircraft carrier led by Colonel Yamamoto was also assigned to his organization;

    The Fourth Fleet uses the South China Fleet as the imaginary enemy, guarding the waterway from Zhanjiang to Hong Kong, and waiting for opportunities to launch a land attack on Hainan.  Considering that the vast sea area of ????the South China Sea is Japan's maritime lifeline, in order to familiarize itself with the needs of the South China Sea, the First Submarine Force is under its management.

    Doesn¡¯t the Chinese Navy avoid fighting?  Then I will bombard your home port, bombard your fishing boats, and bombard your city. If you don¡¯t believe me, you won¡¯t come out.  If it still doesn't come out, then the Combined Fleet has won; if it does, then the Combined Fleet still wins.

    In this sense, the Japanese Navy did win.  Because of the mobility and firepower of warships, each ship is equivalent to a mobile artillery battalion or artillery regiment, and it is very destructive to coastal cities.

    This kind of blow is mainly psychological.  Fishermen are afraid to go fishing in the sea, and their livelihoods are affected;

    Many coastal cities, especially important ports, were harassed by Japanese troops from time to time. Residents were on tenterhooks and inevitably complained about the government's inability to protect them;

    But the most troublesome thing is the Japanese Marine Corps: escorted by powerful naval guns, one or two landing craft are randomly released, waiting for opportunities to come ashore to cause damage in weak defense areas of the Chinese army.

    If the Chinese army is stronger, they will fight and leave, and will not fight with you at all; if the Chinese side responds weakly, they will also beat you up, always making the Chinese soldiers suffer some losses. In many cases, by the time reinforcements arrive, the war will have already begun.  It's over, and the ones who suffered most were the Chinese soldiers.

    It is impossible for a limited army to disperse and garrison in various places. If the artillery fire at important ports is too much, the Japanese troops will not be able to come. If the artillery fire is too little, the Japanese ships will not be able to defeat them. If they are exhausted, they will be dragged to death if they don't fight.

    From early to mid-November, when the ceasefire on the Korean battlefield healed the wounds, alarms were raised all along the coast of China. 35 cities were attacked to varying degrees, with more than 1,000 civilian casualties, more than 3,000 army officers and soldiers casualties, and countless economic losses.  The harassment by the Japanese army was just like the Japanese pirates' rampage in the past, which tested China's top leaders.

    The General Staff Headquarters has not taken any action. The four coastal military regions, the air force's coastal garrisons, the shore artillery units of the three fleets, and the Marine Corps have issued early warnings almost every day. There has been no pause for more than ten days, but the effect is not obvious.  The disaster-stricken areas had no choice but to develop a nationwide joint defense. People were sent to watch the sea every day regardless of whether it was black or white, and early warnings were issued whenever there was any action.

    National mobilization is good, but there are also some problems: many times the reports are false, and many times there is no response - after all, they are a regular army, and the same warning time is much better than that of ordinary people, and Japanese warships often take advantage of  The disadvantage of poor visibility is that if you go out at night, you won't notice until it's too late.

    If things continue like this, let alone doing a good job in production and economic development, we will not even be able to sleep well.  In this way, there was also a Japanese naval incident in HainanThe Marine Corps invaded ten miles inland.

    The General Staff Headquarters has a headache, and the Navy Headquarters also feels embarrassed. If we had a strong navy, such a thing would never happen in the Wanli Sea Territory.  Guo Songling proposed using the three major fleets to attract Japanese ships to reduce their harassment of coastal cities, but Zhang Hanqing vetoed it.

    "Limited family resources and precious talents should not be wasted like this. When it's time to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time, even a grandson must do the same!"

    However, according to relevant information from various places, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps is not the elite force imagined, but purely an army with reduced firepower, even inferior to the Japanese Army on the Korean battlefield.

    Its key point is that it is always accompanied by the maneuvers of transport ships and landing ships, and it also moves on some islands, reefs, and coasts with inconvenient transportation. The army's heavy artillery cannot reach it, and its two legs cannot keep up. This is the key point.

    When it comes to the Japanese Marine Corps, throughout World War II, it is not worth mentioning compared to maritime powers such as Britain and the United States. This is determined by its national conditions.

    Because the Japanese Navy was limited by the idea of ??fleet decisive battle, it did not pay much attention to the preparation of ground troops. The equipment of the Marine Corps was not as good as that of the Army. After all, ground combat was just a sideline of the Navy at that time.

    Like the Army, it is not divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery, and infantry. Due to the temporary and specially organized nature of the Marine Corps itself, it can only be regarded as a less specialized infantry unit.  As for the personal equipment of individual soldiers, the Marine Corps is also poorly equipped. It is only almost equivalent to the weapons distributed by the Army to the training troops in the rear, and even includes Murata rifles from the Sino-Japanese War era.

    Because at present, its combat tasks are defined as capturing small islands, beach landings, base security and battlefield management, and the requirements are not large.  Compared with the highly mobile and powerful heavy armored divisions of the US Marine Corps, they are a generation behind in terms of level.

    As for amphibious operations, well, this is a new term. It is currently similar to the Chinese Marine Corps, and is comparable to the improvised level of the British Navy during World War I.

    Considering China's economic conditions and military investment restrictions, the Japanese Marine Corps is not taken seriously, and is even inferior to the Japanese Army in terms of hardware and equipment, because the current Japanese Army Ship Engineer already has the "Shenzhou Maru" type  The new equipment is much more efficient than the navy in landing battles. This is nothing short of an irony for the navy that has long wanted to move south.

    Of course, it also has some advantages: since the Marine Corps does not need to consider long and long-distance marching movements, individual soldiers can carry more light equipment than the Army. The army even supplies a variety of canned foods. The rich content is quite enviable by Army officers and soldiers (  such as canned eels).

    Is there a way to stop the elusive Japanese transport ships and landing ships that travel hundreds of miles a day without going head-to-head with Japan's powerful fleet?  At the convocation of Zhang Hanqing, the General Armament Department of the Military Commission and the Navy and Air Force Headquarters sent key personnel to Dalian to discuss the next step.

    General Armaments Minister Zhang Xiaozhun has been under a lot of pressure these days. There are constant calls and telegrams from various military services requesting support equipment, and there are even visits from heavyweights to urge him.

    With such a small family fortune in total, everyone wants a share of the pie, which is really hard to do.  No, Zhang Hanqing looked at his slimmer figure and laughed and said, "It's only been five years, and Brother Zhang's figure is better than before. I've been separated for three days, so I'm impressed." My wife keeps asking me if I want to get in shape.  The way to lose weight, I found my backbone when I saw Brother Zhang.¡±

    Although Zhang Xiaozhun was under a lot of pressure, he felt that he was much better than living a miserable life.  Both the old and young marshals attach great importance to it, and they also do it tastefully.

    ¡° Seeing each military industrial enterprise being born and growing up in his hands, and various important weapons gradually becoming domestically produced and even popularized, he felt that there was no greater happiness in life than this.  Besides, he is also the favorite to be promoted to general. It seems that the Korean War will not take long, and he will have another star on his shoulders, right?

    He pretended to be in pain and said: "I am worried too. The Army wants to build a large number of tanks, and I have just converted a tractor factory into a tank production plant; the Navy wants heavy artillery, and I have asked three arms companies to expand production capacity and launch 155mm without stopping.  Shore artillery production line; Marshal, you have arranged for the production of destroyers. Now both Dalian and Shanghai are at war, so we can only ask the Wuhan Shipyard to dismantle a batch of civilian ships to rescue the emergency first; the army, navy and air force all need aircraft. Aren¡¯t my hairs even gray?  How many are there?"

    Guo Songling joked: "It doesn't matter how gray your hair is. The young marshal said that the new drive is a turning point in the development of the navy. You don't dare to cut corners! In addition, the torpedo bombers used by the naval aviation have made great achievements some time ago, solving the current maritime siege.  But it all depends on it, so we must ensure it first!¡±

    Yang Yuting was unhappy: "Do you know how many fewer officers and soldiers the Army lost due to those assault bombers on the Korean battlefield? Now that Japan is increasing its troops in Korea, the need for the Air Force is quite urgent! If you let me get my equipment later,  , If I don¡¯t make trouble with you, Fushuai Zhang and Commander Ji will knock on your door!¡±

    Zhang Fushuai is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Marshal Zhang Zuoxiang. Since Ji Yiqiao has been in charge of the North Korean army, his position as Deputy Chief of General Staff has basically been nominal. The name of these two military leaders is much greater than that of the Air Force alone.  .

    Although it was a joke, the anxiety in their hearts could still be felt.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)How many fewer officers and soldiers will the Army sacrifice on the field?  Now that Japan is increasing its troops in North Korea, the need for the air force is quite urgent!  If you let me get my equipment later, if I don't make trouble with you, Zhang Fushuai and Commander Ji will knock on your door!  "
