- Tang Jian raised his head and glanced at the temporary airport in the distance. After occupying Hiroshima, Tang Jian ordered people to immediately build a temporary airport for landing and supply. From Hiroshima to Kyoto, it was completely within the combat radius of the Nighthawk aircraft. Inside.
At this time, the Nighthawk aircraft, under the command of Liu Wenqing, was replenishing ammunition and fueling, because this afternoon, the assault force would storm Kyoto, and the Japanese army at this time had obviously not yet reacted. Not long ago, the assault force had just From Hiroshima, they inserted into the hinterland of Japan, and now, the assault troops have easily crossed Kobe.
Tang Jian is very satisfied with the current progress of the war. At least within a week, the assault troops will be able to directly attack Tokyo. At this attack speed and Japan's backward communication methods, he wants to mobilize heavy troops when the assault troops approach the city. The time for active defense posture is obviously not enough.
Within the Japanese mainland, the Chinese Army is marching at high speeds all the time. This is why Tang Jian wanted to take advantage of his speed. In martial arts, only speed is the best. This view is still a winning guide when used in military operations.
After all, only more than 200,000 Chinese Army troops have completely landed on the Japanese mainland. Although these troops are much smaller than the total military strength in Japan, Tang Jian is not very worried about the quantitative gap. Sometimes, the advantage of quality is often greater than that of quantity. The advantages are more obvious.
The elite of the Japanese army have been completely lost on the Korean battlefield. Many of those Japanese soldiers participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and had several battles with the Russian army in northern Korea. They cannot be called the elite of the Japanese army. Too much.
However, all these elites have disappeared under the iron heel of the Chinese Army. When the Korean battlefield was about to end, the Japanese Army was already short of soldiers, and many Japanese who could only be called teenagers were forced to join the army. On the battlefield, one can imagine the military quality of Japan's domestic army.
Such low military quality directly led to the plummeting combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army. Therefore, even if there are only more than 20 Chinese Army soldiers, Tang Jian is fully confident that he can sweep across Japan.
Not to mention that the Chinese Army is now equipped with advanced and super-era new weapons. The Japanese army's carefully purchased defense lines are simply vulnerable to repeated bombings by aircraft and tanks.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for transportation restrictions and the trucks that transport supplies on a large scale were not mass-produced, then Tang Jian would be confident that he could capture Tokyo, Japan within a week.
Tang Jian is now worried about the tens of millions of ordinary people in Japan. Countless experiences in history have proven that many elite troops were defeated not by the enemy's army, but by the endless national resistance movements. .
??Throughout the ages, the humble and insignificant people have often shown extremely powerful combat effectiveness after the war. Tang Jian did not want these more than 200,000 army elites to be lost in the vast ocean of Japan's domestic national resistance movement.
The most direct and effective way can be summed up in one sentence: fast and accurate!
¡°After all, when a war breaks out, the people want to be armed and need guns and ammunition. These cannot be obtained all at once and take time. But if ordinary people want to exert their combat effectiveness, they need actual combat experience, which also takes time. Therefore, the faster the pace of the war, the better. In this way, the time of the war will be shortened overall, and the Japanese people will not be able to react in a short period of time.
As long as these Japanese people have not taken up arms and fully armed themselves, Tang Jian can easily use these more than 200,000 troops to sweep across all the Japanese armies in the Japanese territory.
As for another "accurate" issue, during the war, the Japanese regime must be disintegrated as quickly as possible, that is, by capturing Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and controlling Japan's political center. It is best to establish a provisional government, so that the maximum possible Reduce the resistance consciousness of the Japanese people. By the time the Japanese people reacted, it was too late. At that time, Japan was already firmly in the hands of China.
While I was thinking deeply about these issues, I don¡¯t know when Liu Wenqing came over. Liu Wenqing stepped forward and said hello: "Hello, President!"
Tang Jian saw clearly that the person coming was Liu Wenqing, and nodded with a smile: "How about it? Are Jiang Junyi and the others ready? They are going to attack Kyoto, an important Japanese town, this afternoon."
Liu Wenqing smiled and said: "Everything is ready. The pilots are all in high spirits. They seem to have fallen in love with this job! And each plane is filled with fuel. Considering Kyoto's strong defenses, there is no The loaded machine gun was all dismantled, and two more powerful high-explosive bombs were placed in the magazine that originally loaded the machine gun bullets.¡±
Tang Jian nodded: "Yes, you can adjust tactics accordingly according to the battlefield situation. It seems that you have now become a qualified commander."
Liu WenqingSmiling thickly, he was still happy from the bottom of his heart for Tang Jian's personal praise.
"President, I just have a question. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?" Liu Wenqing hesitated for a while and finally asked.
Tang Jian kindly handed Liu Wenqing a cigarette, then lit it, blew out a smoke ring with satisfaction, and said, "It doesn't matter, you can ask any questions you have, let's brainstorm ideas, haha."
"Now that the Japanese Combined Fleet has been completely wiped out, the waters around Japan no longer threaten the existence of the Pacific Fleet. Even the returning fleet may not be able to come back at least until we end the war with Japan. . But we only concentrated on landing in the small Shimonoseki, and only attacked the Japanese mainland from one direction, from the south of Honshu Island to the south. Invisibly, didn't we lengthen the front?" Liu Wenqing asked.
"Do you want to ask me why I don't start the second battlefield, choose a landing site from another part of the Japanese mainland to attack the Japanese mainland, or directly land on the Japanese mainland from Yokosuka Port, and then besiege Tokyo, right?" Tang Jianxiao asked .
Although Liu Wenqing just nodded calmly and expressed his affirmation, Liu Wenqing's heart was not calm, so what the Tang family said was exactly what he thought in his heart, exactly!
Tang Jian flicked the cigarette ashes between his fingers and said calmly: "I have considered this strategy before, but because it is not actually feasible, I finally rejected it."
Looking at the surprised expression on Liu Wenqing's face, Tang Jian knew that he could not understand it for the moment, so he continued to explain: "China has suffered serious military losses after the Korean War. Now the only thing that can be used is the more than 200,000 army troops. That's all, and these troops are the guarantee for a blitz war. Without strong backup, the chance of a blitz war's success is very small. Opening up a second battlefield means dedicating more troops, which is extremely detrimental to us with limited troops. Moreover, opening up a second battlefield means dedicating more troops. In the second battlefield, the supply line has been lengthened invisibly. Don't forget that the supplies for more than 200,000 people are not a small amount, and they need to be transported by sea from China to Jeju Island for transit. If we enter the second battlefield again, this will require It takes a lot of time, and what we are short of now is time.¡±
"Indeed, it is a good way to directly use the Pacific Fleet to capture Yokosuka Port. However, Yokosuka is close to Tokyo Bay. Since we have shown our intention to occupy Japan, Yamagata Aritomo will definitely deploy heavy troops in Tokyo Bay. If it is true Landing at Yokosuka Port, the Chinese Army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the Pacific Fleet cannot withstand such attrition. That¡¯s why I will adopt a blitzkrieg to obtain the greatest results at the fastest speed and the smallest cost."
Liu Wenqing nodded and said: "President, I understand. For those of us who have experienced wars for a long time, we actually do not have the capital to open a second battlefield. Only blitz warfare is the fastest and will be quite effective."
"Not bad!" Tang Jian crushed the cigarette butt with his foot and said with a confident smile: "Not opening a second battlefield does not mean that Yokosuka will definitely be calm. I have ordered the Pacific Fleet and the Yellow Sea Fleet to set up a beachfront operation outside Yokosuka Port. It seems that this can at least attract tens of thousands of Japanese troops to focus on defending Tokyo Bay."
At this time, the roar of engines rang out from the temporary airport. It was the air force that was about to launch an air attack on Kyoto.
Liu Wenqing performed a military salute and said: "President, the soldiers are about to go to war!"
Tang Jian returned a military salute: "I wish you a victorious return!"
When Liu Wenqing's figure gradually disappeared from Tang Jian's sight, the ten planes were towed to the runway of the temporary airport in turn, and the ground crew waved the signal flag in their hands to indicate that they were ready to take off.
With a loud roar, the first Nighthawk aircraft sped on the runway. Within tens of seconds, the Nighthawk aircraft was soaring in the blue sky.
Under the orderly command of the ground crew, the planes behind them drove to the runway one after another and took off. Then, after the ten planes circled at low altitude for two weeks, they formed a long-range flight formation and flew towards Kyoto, where the Air Force's new headquarters was. home ground!
"Order the entire army to rest on the spot and march towards the Kyoto defense line tomorrow morning!" Soon, Tang Jian's order spread throughout the temporary military camp.
On April 13, 1907, following a large-scale bombing of Shimonoseki, Kyoto, an important Japanese city, was violently bombed by the Chinese Air Force. In just half an hour, the Japanese commander in Kyoto died in the bombing. The garrison's command system was immediately paralyzed.
The Chinese tank troops took the lead in charging, and the carefully constructed defense line of the Japanese army was easily torn apart. The 30,000 Chinese assault troops attacked the Japanese rear through the gap in the defense line. The Japanese arsenal and the only supply depot were quickly blown up, and the 30,000 assault troops were separated. The three groups quickly surrounded Ri, who had not yet reacted.military.
The Battle of Kyoto lasted two and a half hours. The assault troops easily surrounded and annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese troops at the cost of only 600 casualties. The Japanese troops collapsed under the fierce offensive of the assault troops. They only put on a show of resistance and most of them chose to surrender. surrender.
PS: Today¡¯s second update, there have been so few votes recently. Isn¡¯t it because Japan was beaten badly enough?
