"As for North Korea, here, here, here, from Uiju to Insan-ri, according to the intelligence from the Northeast Military Region, there are about two Japanese regiments with the main defense force, a lot of heavy weapons, and about seventy mountain cannons. [./ First text: It is difficult for our army to quickly break through the southwest front positions; here, here, here, here is the Jiangnan Mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will give up the main attack on the Japanese troops stationed in the Jiangnan Mountains. We should mainly use the Army Air Force¡¯s aircraft bombing to contain them, and strive to Destroy the main defensive force of the Japanese army on this line; here, here, here is Japan's Shiromo Plateau. Strive to break through the 'Five Hundred Project Defense Line' built by Japan on the Korean Peninsula as soon as possible."
The so-called 500-engineer defense line refers to the product of the Japanese Army¡¯s self-hype after the defeat of the Sino-Japanese conflict in 1914. Faced with the main force of the National Defense Force stationed in the Northeast, the Japanese Korean garrison and the Japanese Army were unwilling to lose their ability to intervene in the Northeast. They used the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China to establish a defense line stretching for thousands of miles along the border between China and North Korea. This strategy was not only exaggerated in North Korea, but also exaggerated in China. If this front in China is built, Japan will never have the possibility of getting involved in the Manchuria and Mongolia regions. . At the same time, it is also speculated that China's move is also to prepare for its southward march to the Korean Peninsula.
In order to gain wider support, they launched a propaganda campaign in the country, encouraged people and chaebols to donate money, and built a so-called five-hundred-mile defensive position along the China-North Korea border to "wary" of "invading forces" from Northeast China.
This so-called 500-mile defensive position was named the 500-mile Engineering Defense Line by the General Staff of the Republic of China, implying that many of these areas are permanent military bunkers and fortresses, making it difficult to attack them.
"On the Southern Front, we have not received specific information here in Taiwan. Whether the landing fleet from Fujian has taken advantage of the current situation when Japan's Taiwan garrison fleet has been severely damaged to land on Taiwan Island and establish a forward position is still unclear. So for the South Line, why can¡¯t I analyze it temporarily?¡±
"Um!"
Li Han's eyes followed him in the direction of Taiwan Island and then turned to the northern front.
Isn¡¯t he worried about Taiwan?
No, not only very worried but also very worried. It can be said that in his plan, the battlefield in Taiwan that has changed the most is the southern front. Because the Republic of China did not have a strong navy, although they relied on sneak attacks to severely damage the Japanese Navy's Taiwan Fleet, if they could not transport a large number of landing troops ashore in the shortest time, once the Japanese reacted, the outcome would undoubtedly be very unfavorable to the Republic of China.
"Presidential order, do you want to call again and ask about the situation in Fujian?" Tang Xiangming asked.
Li Han thought for a moment, then waved his hand and refused, "Forget it, don't put more pressure on Fujian. In addition to leaving a few teams to deal with emergencies, send out all submarines and torpedo boats to cooperate with offshore gunboats." By deploying torpedoes in key waterways, we must completely block the enemy's powerful navy from the offshore coastline, and we must not let them threaten our coastal cities!"
"yes!"
"As for the northern battlefield, we don't need to interfere too much with the frontline command. Let's leave it to Li Jishen, Zhu Qinglan, Wu Junsheng, and Zhang Zuolin. They know how to adjust the deployment of troops on the front line. The Korean Peninsula is not easy to fight. We attack the Korean Peninsula by force, but the truth is The purpose in the early stage is to prevent Japan's Korean garrison from being deployed to support the Liaodong Peninsula, and the main attack is on the Liaodong Peninsula; as for the middle and later stages, if our strategy of attacking the Liaodong Peninsula is realized, after we regain it, the strategic significance of the Korean Peninsula will be It¡¯s highlighted. Even if we face defeat in Taiwan on the southern route, we still have the upper hand at the negotiation table. We can force the Japanese to spit out Taiwan Island in exchange for the Korean Peninsula!¡±
The Japanese cannot understand the importance of Taiwan Island and the Korean Peninsula. Strategically speaking, the two places are equally important, because the voyage south from the Japanese mainland to the colonies in the East Indies is tens of thousands of miles, and Taiwan, a place for rest and replenishment of coal, is undoubtedly very important. And it can also play a strategic role in curbing the development of the Republic of China's navy!
"However, after all, the island of Taiwan was forcibly taken away from China by the Japanese, and the resistance on the island has never stopped. Especially in recent years, mainland China has either overtly or covertly transported weapons and ammunition to the island of Taiwan to arm the resistance forces on the island. It has even transported a group of commanding officers who are proficient in military affairs to the island through speedboats and submarines. The entire island of Taiwan At present, several larger resistance forces with hundreds of people have formed. As China's national power grows, more and more conflicts and wars will break out between Japan and China over Taiwan Island. Yes, as long as the Japanese do not return Taiwan for one day.
"Compared to Taiwan Island, the Korean Peninsula is undoubtedly much better and more important. Not only does it have more supplies than Taiwan, it is also closer to Japan, although it is also close to Northeast China. But after all, the Republic of China declared war in the name of regaining its lost land, and North Korea was notAfter the Republic of China lost its territory, if the Republic of China regained Taiwan and the Liaodong Peninsula, it would have to pay less attention to the Korean Peninsula.
Li Han¡¯s eyes stayed on the map marked North Korea for a while, and then turned to other areas with an expressionless expression.
Great power politics are always cruel. In today's era, nuclear weapons, missiles and other technologies that disrupt regional balance have not yet appeared. The Republic of China only needs to maintain the size of the garrison and army aviation in the Northeast to effectively restrain the Japanese threat from the Korean Peninsula. There is no need to support a force there for the time being. If the Republic of China really regains the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan Island, it will usher in at least ten years of peace in the future, and probably even longer. He was confident that after the three or four five-year plans, the Republic of China would become one of the few industrial and military powers in the world.
By then, so what if the Japanese occupy North Korea? Do they really dare to sneak attack on China like they did on the United States in World War II?
No kidding, why didn¡¯t Japan respond to Germany¡¯s mustache plan to attack the Soviet Union from both sides?
It is because the Soviet Union is too close to the Japanese mainland, and the depth of its territory and its land military strength prevent Japan from acting rashly. As for the Republic of China, after this battle, the Japanese must know what kind of land power their neighboring country has risen to!
"We must remind the Liaodong front that if the first army, the main force in the assault, encounters a stalemate, immediately contact the Army Aviation for support. A field airport in the rear was immediately built. We concentrated more than 300 fighter planes of various types in the northern area, and more planes will continue to follow. Concentrate to the northeast. Let our planes blow up the fortresses that the army cannot capture. If the terrain is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack, throw out all the gas bombs we have in stock. Jinzhou, Dalian, Lushun, and all the Liaodong Peninsula All cities and towns and fortresses will be bombed. Don't mention those accidental casualties to me. The Republic of China began to evacuate the local residents of the Liaodong Peninsula three years ago. Those who are unwilling to evacuate will bear the consequences. Sacrifice is inevitable on the way to the rise of the Republic of China. We should have taken advantage of it one day earlier. By moving to the Liaodong Peninsula, we can save millions of supplies and tens of thousands of sacrifices. Let me bear the infamy! The General Staff ordered the inscribed Presidential Decree to be implemented in any town or fortress where Japanese troops are stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula. Bombing, gas bombs, incendiary bombs, and high-explosive bombs are all used. After this battle, as long as we can take back the Liaodong Peninsula, even if we blow it into ruins, we can rebuild it in three to five years!"
Several people in the room changed their colors slightly, but when facing President Li, their eyes flickered, and no one responded or said no.
At this time, the phone on the table rang. A staff officer picked up the phone and immediately saluted with a straight military salute, and then said: "Report to the President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls the secretary's office."
Li Han quickly walked a few steps to the phone, "Hello!"
A voice came from the other side, "President, His Excellency Yoshizawa Kenkichi, the former Minister of Japan, came to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to represent the Imperial Government of Japan and formally submitted his credentials to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to etiquette, this matter should have been accepted by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Director-General Lu went to the State Council to attend an emergency wartime meeting. After hearing this, Yoshizawa Kenji left without looking back. I sent two or three Ministry of Foreign Affairs guards to follow him for a while, and just came back to report. Judging from their direction, they were heading towards the President. Went straight to the mansion!"
¡°It¡¯s really fast!¡±
Li Han frowned slightly for a moment and then relaxed, "Leave him alone. If he comes, I will just go and pick him up. You can do your work first"
"yes¡¡"
The call was from Gu Weijun, Tang Shaoyi¡¯s son-in-law. Due to the advancement of medicine in the Republic of China, his wife did not die in the influenza pandemic last year. Although she was seriously ill, it was undoubtedly good news. Gu Weijun has already become a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a young age. Li Han's favor and his dual identity as his father-in-law Tang Shaoyi can enable him to go far in the political arena of the Republic of China. And he does have that ability.
Not long after, someone was sent from the secretary's office. The envoy Yoshizawa Kenkichi the day before yesterday had already sent a greeting card to the secretary's office. He seemed to understand the Chinese proverb, "The king of hell is easy to mess with, but the kid is difficult to deal with." Shi was polite and the purpose was clearly stated.
But when he came to see Li Han, his typical scholar's face turned gloomy.
Without any nonsense or etiquette, Yoshizawa Kenji directly handed over the declaration of war to Li Han, the president of the Republic of China.
"The Empire of Japan will definitely retaliate against your country's despicable act of undeclared war! I am authorized by the imperial government to lodge a serious protest with your government and officially declare to your government: From now on, the Empire of Japan will The Empire and the Republic of China have officially entered a state of war! At the same time, all Chinese diplomats in Japan are expelled, and all Chinese nationals are ordered to leave Japan within 24 hours and are not allowed to stay! Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Fangze Qianji protested expressionlessly, and Li Han raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Fangze, your government?I accepted the declaration of war on behalf of the Republic of China government. As for going to war without declaring it, why is there such a thing as going to war without declaring it? In the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Battle of Shandong, it seems that your country followed a preemptive strategy in every battle, right? Our country is just imitating others and learning from Japanese teachers. Should we go to war without declaring it and leave it to future generations and let others comment after the war is over? The winner is always right! "
Yoshizawa Kenji was surprised. He did not expect President Li, who represented the Republic of China government, to be so confident. However, the war had already broken out, and he had no intention of refuting anything. After handing over the documents declaring war, he immediately strode out of the reception room, with no intention of talking anymore!
