Part One Russo-Japanese War Chapter 309 In Quanzhou

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After flying to Quanzhou, North Korea, Song Biao first held a small-scale internal meeting with the commanders of the Northeast Defense Forces Cai E, Liu Gengyun and others, and listened to the analysis of the frontline war by commanders at all levels, and then arranged time to meet with North Korea.  Li Qingxun, President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China.

    Li Qingxun graduated from the Army Command Department of the Far Eastern Military Academy. He was later selected by the Central Military Intelligence Department and secretly arranged to study at the Central Military Academy and the Central Imperial University School of Political Science. He briefly served as a translator at the North Korean Embassy in China, and held several positions in the Northeast Military Region.  Instructor of the Infantry Regiment in 1933, he returned to northern Korea and was responsible for establishing the North Korean Free Government and the Korean Free Army.

    The empire's international foreign policy has always been continuous. From the beginning, the empire had no plan to retain the Korean royal family. Although the so-called royal family of the Korean Empire was in Tokyo at this time, the empire had supported Ri Kyung-hun's northern Korean government in rebuilding a new Korea.  The Republic of Korea established its capital in Pyongyang, and planned to promote the Republic of Korea to join the Asian League.

    This plan is very important. Once the Republic of Korea joins the Asian League, it will not only be recognized diplomatically by most countries in international diplomacy, but will also receive the full support of the Asian League. All military actions by China and the Asian League coalition in North Korea will be  They will receive real legal support and have the right to receive the full support of the Republic of Korea and the people.

    There is currently no objection to the Republic of Korea's official membership of the Asian League. At the Xi'an Asian League Summit in September, each member state will formally accept the application jointly submitted by China and the Republic of Korea and officially become a member of the Asian Cooperation Alliance.  .

    At the same time, the empire will provide a ten-year friendly preferential assistance plan totaling 4 billion Chinese yuan to the government of the Republic of Korea to help North Korea establish an effective government and modern economic structure. Incheon and Nampo will still be in the form of China-North Korea Economic Cooperation Special Zones  If it exists, North Korea will also recognize the dual nationality bill of the Chinese Empire and grant national treatment to Chinese who hold the passport and nationality of the Republic of Korea.

    Considering that most of the main body of North Korea's economy is controlled by Chinese businessmen, this is almost equivalent to allowing the Republic of Korea to continue to recognize this status quo. In fact, among all the members of the Asian Alliance, no country is as completely dependent on the entire economy as North Korea.  In the Chinese Empire, especially after the Japanese government and personal properties in Korea were confiscated in the name of war reparations.

    The Sino-Japanese War seems to have just begun at this time. As the most important springboard for China to attack Japan, North Korea will build a large number of transportation projects in the next six months. It will not only repair the railways during the Japanese occupation, but also build three main trunk lines.  Highways and multiple branch roads, as well as further improving port and airport conditions, the empire will provide state and commercial loans, and through a multi-pronged approach of commercial contracts and military assistance plans, this series of large-scale projects will be completed in half a year, preparing the empire for the invasion of Japan.  lay a solid foundation.

    With such a foundation, the empire will be able to ensure that war materials are continuously transported from Northeast China, Shandong, and North China to North Korea, and then from North Korea to Japan, ensuring all the needs of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. This plan will ensure at least more than three hundred  Wan Jun's massive expenditure.

    Although the entire Third Sino-Japanese War has been very difficult to advance so far, in the process, the empire has gradually relied on its overall national strength and huge military reserves to build a large-scale military capable of adapting to a decisive battle in the mountains of southern Korea.  Armed, and this armed force can also exert its greatest military value in Japan in the future. During this period, the mountain troops that originally accounted for only 1/5 of the total number of the Imperial Army jumped to 1/3. Among the 174 army divisions,  There are a total of 13 permanent mountain divisions and 44 new mountain divisions. 75 of these mountain divisions will eventually be deployed to Japan to participate in the decisive battle.

    This is the Song Emperor¡¯s final plan.

    The emperor actually had only two plans. One was to use nuclear weapons to raze Japan without sparing any war-worthy city; the other was to use an astonishing number of conventional troops to raze the entire Japan without sparing any inch of Japan's land.  The scorched earth policy pushed Japan back to primitive society.

    No matter which plan it is, the emperor will be satisfied for a long time.

    After the Song Emperor negotiated with Li Qingxun, the interim president of the Republic of Korea, Chen Wucai belatedly arrived at the Quanzhou Command Headquarters on a transport plane. Chen Wu had no intention of neglecting him. His outstanding performance in the battle not only proved that he was an incorruptible person.  The veteran general also made the Central Military Headquarters happy to assign important responsibilities to the Fourth Army he led.

    At this time, Chen Wu was planning to double the size of the entire Fourth Army according to his own intentions, and would serve as the main frontline force in the Japanese landing battle. The first wave would follow the amphibious troops and marines to land in Xiaguan, and jump directly to  Fighting in Japan.

    The job he is now responsible for is no longer to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Army's Hata Shunliu Division in southern Korea, but to organize a large-scale landing combat exercise in Pohang to prepare for subsequent combat plans. The Navy Department has also dispatched experienced staff generals  serve as his deputy??Suggestion.

    After Chen Wu flew to Quanzhou, Song Biao just ended his talks with Li Qingxun, and immediately arranged for Chen Wu, Cai E, Liu Gengyun, and Wei Lihuang to come together to discuss the follow-up battle plan.

    Cai E and the other three had actually been waiting in the general combat command room for the arrival of Chen Wu and Emperor Song. After Chen Wu, who had resumed his rank as general, arrived, Wei Lihuang stood up first to salute.

    Among the four, he is the only one who has not been promoted to Army General. However, it is generally acknowledged that it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to Army General. Unless he makes a mistake like Fu Zuoyi, another problem is that he will probably not be promoted to Army General.  He would participate in the follow-up operations against the Japanese army and be directly transferred back to the Beijing Military Region as commander, because Zhao Tingzhu had already gone to the Northwest Military Region, obviously preparing for military work against the Soviet Union or Germany.

    Chen Wu, who finally regained the rank of Army General, felt quite emotional at this time. After returning the greeting with Wei Lihuang, he continued to shake hands with Cai E and others with great emotion. When shaking hands with Wei Lihuang,  , Chen Wu praised with emotion: "The battle at Jindaoling was very beautiful. It was important for the enemy to realize the possibility of a war breaking out here before the enemy could."

    Wei Lihuang was very happy to be praised by Chen Wu, but he only replied modestly: "Mr. Chen has given me a thumbs up."

    Chen Wu smiled calmly, sat on his seat, and continued to ask Cai E: "How is the emperor's mood this time? He doesn't blame us, right?"

    Cai E wiped the back of his head and sighed helplessly: "It was originally a good game of chess, with all the advantages in our hands, but in the end it forced the Central Military Department to provide assistance, and even forced us to use strategic tactics.  The troops are assisting us, this is really embarrassing for me."

    He did not express the emperor¡¯s intention to blame, but it was obvious that even if the emperor had not criticized at this time, the meaning was obvious.

    Chen Wu comforted Cai E and said: "You did your best. In war, victory or defeat is uncertain. Fu Zuoyi's mistakes are both losses and gains. Now the Japanese army is cut into two parts. It is something we did not expect. The chaos  Although the arrow is lost, overall it will continue to be beneficial to subsequent operations."

    Cai E remained silent and took a sip of tea.

    ¡° He could only say that it was fortunate that Fu Zuoyi made a mistake. After all, Fu Zuoyi was a person that the emperor cultivated, and it was not suitable for the Central Military Department to criticize too much. If it had been someone else, the Northeastern Military Department would have been criticized even more.

    Cai E also felt very heavy and under great pressure, but it was not as difficult as the client Fu Zuoyi.

    At this time, an order came from outside that the royal chariot was coming.

    Hearing the shouts of the chamberlains who were only a few dozen steps away, Cai E hurriedly led the other three people to stand up at the same time, waiting for the emperor's arrival again with a solemn expression.

    Within a moment, Emperor Song Biao, wearing the uniform of a marshal of the Imperial Central Defense Forces, strode in.

    The emperor always has many aspects that are different from the world.

    Amidst the solemn salutes of the four generals and subordinates, Song Biao walked past them silently and calmly. He also sat quietly and calmly at the chief seat of the conference table. He took off his gloves and threw them on the table.  , he asked these four mainstay subordinates to sit down.

    Song Biao first looked at Chen Wu, pointed at him, and agreed: "You have fought beautifully in the recent battles. As for the landing in Japan, you should be well prepared."

    Chen Wu is quite grateful. His heart is full of excitement and desolation. He has had several ups and downs, and several sinkings. In such a difficult life, how can a man be like this?

    He stood up again and saluted, saying, "I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness."

    Song Biao nodded slightly without much expression, and continued to ask the four people present: "I summoned the four of you individually this time to talk about only two things. One is how to annihilate the remaining Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula, and the other is to hold Fu Zuoyizhi accountable.  Lose. Let¡¯s talk about the latter matter first. As for whether Fu Zuoyi has violated military law, you know clearly in your hearts and how to deal with it. Everyone should take a stand. "

    When you hear this, you can¡¯t help but feel embarrassed.

    Chen Wu pondered for a moment, then spoke first: "Lieutenant General Fu must bear the main responsibility for the loss of Shangzhou. How can a proud army be undefeated? However, in view of the fact that he organized active defensive operations and positional warfare on the spot in Shangzhou, it is impossible to avoid  The main force was surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, and at the same time it attracted the main force of the Japanese army, which created an excellent fighter opportunity for the Second Army to severely damage Matsui Ishigen on the southern front, and for our Fourth Army to make a 600-mile leap into Pohang, so heavy punishment was unnecessary.  At least it doesn¡¯t have to be downgraded.¡±

    Cai E also agreed: "What General Chen said is true. Your Majesty, I also bear the heavy responsibility for the loss of Shangzhou. We should report the criticism to the whole army together with Lieutenant General Fu, and let us continue to serve and make up for the mistakes."

    Song Biao said: "You are nothing special."However, there is no need to criticize. The Central Military Headquarters warned Fu Zuoyi once by name, recorded a demerit, demoted him to Army Major General, and warned all ministries not to be arrogant.  "

    Chen Wu and others remained silent.

    Demotion and forced retirement are relatively severe punishments in the military, especially during the war. This is the first such case in the Central Defense Forces. If you think about it carefully, you can only say that Fu Zuoyi suffered it himself. Cai E has done many things before.  Fan emphasized that one should not be arrogant and should not go deep alone. When the two armies fought together to contain each other and support each other, Fu Zuoyi ignored Zhang Zizhong in order to seize the lead and went deep alone in an attempt to defeat the main force of the Japanese army with one blow. Instead, he was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army, which led to the entire Northeast  The National Defense Forces were in an extremely passive situation in the war situation, and their own casualties were also severe.

    ??????????????? If the Central Military Headquarters had not made the decisive decision to use strategic forces and the headquarters¡¯ air force to support the operation, the empire¡¯s random arrow plan would probably have suffered an unprecedented defeat.

    Even so, due to excessive retaliation in chemical warfare, the Imperial Wehrmacht has suffered a lot of criticism at home and abroad, especially in the international community, which has received extremely bad reviews. The Empire was also forced to withdraw from the international treaty of the Anti-War Act.  , if it goes to war with the Soviet army in the future, it will no longer be protected by the international law of the Chemical Weapons Limitation Treaty, and both sides are likely to directly enter a new round of chemical weapons war.

    Regarding this matter, Song Biao did not have much to say. If it is wrong, it is wrong. Fu Zuoyi's failure in this matter is well known. If it cannot be dealt with severely, the military discipline of all armies will be ruined in the future, and everyone will ignore the regulations established by the Central Military Headquarters.  The battle plan is to fight however you want, then the outcome of this war will be painful.

    He decisively settled the matter and continued to ask Cai E: "Before formulating the next battle plan, do you have anything else to add in particular?"

    Cai E could only stop caring about Fu Zuoyi's punishment and suggested to Song Biao: "This time the Northeast Defense Force has expanded to 73 army divisions, with a strength of nearly 1.8 million, and has generally been based on the particularities of the Korean battlefield.  We have made targeted improvements. According to the current equipment and personnel situation, we can launch a formal large-scale positional attack against Japan and completely eliminate the remaining Japanese troops. There is nothing to be fooled at this time, everything is based on strength.  , the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is logistical supply, with artillery as the main force, combined with artillery and infantry, and using the advantage of light weapons firepower to advance inch by inch. After the Second Group Army is detoured and intercepted, the Japanese supplies are consumed, and the remaining Japanese troops are unable to do so.  Withdraw without follow-up supplies and support, we must gradually attack and encroach, and the remaining Japanese troops must be eliminated within three months.¡±

    Song Biao nodded slightly and said: "Your thoughts are similar to mine. In this battle, consumption is the top priority, locking is the top priority, and the odd and the right are in harmony. At this level, there is no tactical skills or strategic skills at all. Next step,  The Marine Corps will end the Ryukyu Campaign and launch a larger-scale clearance campaign in the Pacific region to deprive the Japanese colonies of the entire Pacific Ocean. The Northeast Military Region will directly invest troops to land on Sakhalin Island and make preparations for landing on Hokkaido.  At that time, your task is to carry out the landing operation on the Japanese mainland at Shimonoseki. But before the landing operation, we expect there will be a blockade war and long-term bombing for about half a year."

    After the Japanese army basically lost control of the Ryukyu Islands and the Korean Peninsula, the follow-up matters of this war have become very clear. All that is left is to continue to encroach on Japan step by step and plunge Japan into a situation of complete loss of resource bases.  Large-scale bombings blocked Japan's domestic economy.

    There are no human rights at all now.

    According to the military¡¯s plan, after imposing a circular blockade on Japan, they plan to spray a large number of defoliants on Japanese farmland in the spring and summer, and directly throw gasoline bombs during the autumn harvest season, causing Japan to be in a serious food crisis.

    This plan has not yet been submitted to the emperor for review, but the emperor supports the comprehensive bombing of Japan's industrial cities, especially the bombing of Japan's military, electric power, steel, transportation, ports, and energy units, which makes Japan in a large-scale  In a state of industrial unemployment, the entire economy was completely destroyed.

    No matter what method is used, the empire's plan is to completely paralyze Japan economically and resourcefully, and then send troops to land at the right time to clear and occupy Japan step by step.

    In principle, in the first year of the blockade operation, neither the Imperial Army nor the Marine Corps will consider direct landing operations. The Imperial Navy and Air Force will assume the main work of the ring blockade operation, completely isolating Japan from overseas.

    With the empire's powerful navy and air force, it is not difficult to achieve this. Compared with directly sending a large number of troops to land for combat, such a plan will have much smaller military expenditures, and the loss of personnel and ammunition will also be greater.  few.

    Relatively speaking, this is a very good plan.

    As long as Japan is placed in the environmentAmidst the physical blockade, the empire did not care how many years it would take for the Sino-Japanese War to end completely.

    ¡°Either we don¡¯t fight, or we have to fight to bring Japan back to primitive society.

    The empire obviously has such ruthlessness.

    ?Always be more ruthless towards your enemies.

    After a detailed discussion on the issue of annihilating the remaining Japanese troops in Korea, Song Biao felt that the remaining issues could be left to the Central Military Headquarters and the Northeast Defense Force Staff Operations Department to continue planning. His plan to end this did not worry him very much.  issues.

    This war has no more tests for the empire. Unlike the problems faced by the United States at the end of World War II, the empire did not provide a large amount of Lend-Lease support to Britain, France and the Soviet Union, and the empire's economy in the past few years has been more biased towards the Asian continent.  Development, and in the field of maritime transportation, the Japanese army that lost the Ryukyu base will no longer be able to threaten the empire.

    At this time, Song Biao, who was sitting in Jeonju, North Korea, was really considering and worrying about the western frontier of the empire. He was paying close attention to the dynamics between the Soviet Union and Germany. The difficulties encountered by the Soviet Union were much more severe than expected.  Germany will almost completely destroy the Soviet Red Army before the end of the year.

    Does the empire need to give the Soviet Red Army some necessary support, or should it directly send troops to the northwest to occupy Kazakhstan?

    These are the issues that Song Biao needs to consider most at this time.

    Germany's mechanized corps operations relied more on the data of the Imperial Central Defense Forces in theory and practice. In terms of technology and tactical structure, Germany also introduced a large number of armored fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, tracked transport vehicles, and tank destroyers from the Empire.  Of course, the Soviet Union also obtained some technical information from the empire. The Type 4 Leopard tanks and T34 tanks that the two sides competed with each other on the battlefield were both influenced by the MBT30 tank.

    This made both the Soviet Union and Germany in urgent need of a large amount of oil resources and petrochemical industry support, and Germany's disadvantage was precisely here. The advantage of the war situation made Germany divide its forces to attack the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, trying to occupy the Soviet Union's Stalingrad and Volga oil producing areas.

    Regarding Germany¡¯s plan to divide its forces into two directions, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.

    There are advantages and disadvantages.

    If Song Biao was commanding this Soviet-German war, he would prefer to rush into Moscow alone and send fewer troops to cut off the connection between Moscow and the Volga oil production area, although Germany is better at offense than defense in positional warfare.  , but under different circumstances, it is valuable to use a small number of troops for defense, and it can be conducive to strategic adjustability. When the storming of Moscow fails, local area defense operations can also be used to carry out a siege and reinforcements, consuming the Soviet Union.  Morale and resources of the Red Army.

    Of course, the ambitious head of state Hitler did not have such an idea.

    The Germans¡¯ ideas and plans in war are always very direct, with a distinctive German toughness.

    Song Biao raised his hand to signal a break and asked Cai E if they had anything to add, but it was obvious that they did not intend to continue the discussion. Cai E understood the emperor's intention and felt that the discussion could be ended here.  The task of adding details should be left to the Staff Operations Department.

    At this moment, Chen Wu and Song Biao asked for a fight: "Your Majesty, I hope to continue to lead the Fourth Army southward and advance east and west together with the Second Army to cut off the Japanese army's retreat. After all, according to the plan of the ring blockade, the Fourth Army is likely to be in  We will be in a state of preparation for the exercise in the next year, and we have enough time to make up for the lack of experience and some details of tactical execution."

    Song Biao thought about it for a moment and did not intend to veto the proposal. Instead, he said to Chen Wu: "You still have to discuss this issue with Commander Cai and Chief of General Staff Chiang. I will not ask too much about the specific tactical plan.  .¡±

    Chen Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of just one sentence from Your Majesty. Your Majesty also knows that our army is extremely diligent in preparing for war, and our army is equipped with the largest number of assault rifles and has the longest preparation for mountain warfare. In my opinion, if the two sides follow the rules  According to statistics, our army consumes 75 bullets to injure one Japanese soldier. In terms of small arms firepower at the squad level, our army can injure about 3 Japanese soldiers per minute on average, while the Japanese army can only injure about 3 Japanese soldiers per minute.  Injured one of our troops. In actual combat, the mutual damage ratio of our Fourth Group Army was significantly higher than the theoretical result. This is the result of our army's strict training and adequate preparation. Therefore, if our army can participate in the war, it is completely  The most advantageous option.¡±

    After hearing this, Song Biao thought about it seriously and told Chen Wu and Cai E: "The First Army just fought a bloody battle and suffered a big loss. You can consider swapping the First Army and the Fourth Army."  , let the Fourth Army be responsible for attacking the Japanese rear from east to west with Wei Lihuang's troops, and the First and Third Army be responsible for front-line containment."

    Cai E also nodded seriously and agreed, saying: "What your Majesty said is true."??

    Song Biao actually didn't like this situation very much. He was unwilling to interfere with the considerations of frontline commanders. Like Hitler, one word from him could change all the initial plans of the entire military department. Although he obviously understood war better than Hitler,  The era of war has changed, and he cannot continue to lead the army to fight on the front lines as he did in the past.

    War command is a profession. Every general must firmly remember the combat parameters of all weapons and have a clear combat picture in their minds, including which type of artillery has a far range, how far a rifle has a range, and how far a machine gun has a range.  How intensive the firepower is.

    It¡¯s like being an engineer, you need to have a high spatial imagination.

    Song Biao still has such imagination and sense of smell, but he is already far away from the frontline troops and the war, and it is difficult to clearly construct an accurate deduction in his mind. In short, what he does not know now is a member of the Imperial Army.  The squad can compete with several Japanese squads in terms of firepower. A company of the Imperial Army, a company of the Japanese Army, a company of the German Army, and a company of the Soviet Red Army. What are the differences between them? How to use these differences and how to maintain them?  Differences, how to make up for these differences these are things that he no longer knows very well.

    He felt sorry.

    The war is still going on, but he is no longer able to command thousands of troops to fight passionately on the front line. All he can do is make some grand strategic decisions in the rear, and rely more on the staff and the Central Military Headquarters to make more correct decisions.  Tactical decisions.

    Song Biao also knew very well that it was of great significance for Chen Wu's Fourth Army to stay in Pohang for long-term landing combat exercises, because the specific landing time for Japan was not fixed, and it might be one or two years after the ring blockade.  , or you may log in immediately.

    Even so, he still agreed to Chen Wu's proposal.

    Many times, he felt that he owed Chen Wu a lot, even though when he dealt with Chen Wu back then, he was so decisive and never looked back.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
