    Chapter 234: Intense preparation period

    This time and space is not a parallel history. It is impossible for one or two Japanese divisions to march sideways across North China.  Therefore, Japan's combat plan is difficult to implement. Fighting a divided agricultural country and fighting a unified country that has initially completed industrialization are completely different concepts.  No matter how crazy the Japanese army was, they were not crazy enough to ignore millions of well-equipped troops.

    Compared with the difficult birth of the Japanese army, China's strategy has also undergone extensive adjustments. The first was the war against the Soviet Union. Taking into account factors such as the post-expiration environment, the General Staff formulated a plan to focus on defense in the Far East and Siberia battlefields, and deployed three elite troops.  The mechanized army reinforced the battlefield against Japan in the Far East.  Central Asia continues to hold high the banner of offensive. After completing the Tashkent offensive, it first focuses on clearing the Soviet troops in Kazakhstan, echoing the Siberian battlefield, and then continues to advance towards the Caspian Sea, with the aim of using B-29 strategic bombers for bombing  The Baku oil-producing area forced the Southern Front Army commanded by Zhukov to move northward, and then annihilated it with camera.  On the Japanese battlefield, according to reliable intelligence, the Yalu River defense line adopted a stable defensive posture. The defense line composed of twenty infantry divisions allowed the Japanese troops to collide with the solid defense line. When necessary, they could shrink and abandon some positions, and gradually lured the Japanese troops deeper into the battlefield.  , once an opportunity arises, the two mechanized armies deployed in Benxi take the initiative to attack and divide and encircle the Japanese army in depth.  In the Far East, three mechanized armies were concentrated and joined with the three mechanized armies drawn from the Siberian battlefield. They suddenly exerted their force with powerful mechanized forces and advanced to Vladivostok in one go.  As for the Shuangchengzi Fortress, the General Staff never considered storming such a strong fortress when formulating the plan.  The Far East is not Central Asia, as long as the Japanese army is driven out of the sea.  The Japanese soldiers in Shuangcheng could starve to death.

    The main battlefield of the war against Japan was at sea. The main forces of the navy's third and fourth fleets converged to form a powerful fleet that could threaten the Philippines at any time.  The Second Fleet mainly targets the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, striving to win a decisive battle at sea.  Even if they cannot win, the goal of severely damaging the Japanese navy can still be satisfied.  The reality is that with U.S. assistance, China can replenish its resources much faster than Japan.  In short, as long as both sides suffer losses, it is victory.  Of course, Chen Shaokuan did not think so. His requirement was that he must win. The Second Fleet has two large aircraft carriers, Qinghai and Tibet, with a displacement of 38,000 tons.  The two large aircraft carriers Hunan and Guangdong with a displacement of 42,000 tons can carry at least 380 carrier-based aircraft at a time, and the Swift-5 carrier-based aircraft is not only a fighter jet, but can also carry a 500-kilogram bomb.  Or two 225kg bombs for use as a dive bomber.  The performance of the Seahawk torpedo aircraft has been verified in the naval battle in the Bay of Bengal.  The Navy has great confidence in the Seahawk torpedo aircraft in penetrating the Japanese Navy's anti-aircraft fire network.  The Second Fleet also has four large battleships, three battleships with a displacement of 38,000 tons, and one Beijing, with a displacement of 60,000 tons.  There are 3 heavy cruisers, 8 light cruisers, and 22 high-speed destroyers.  Such a powerful fleet.  Facing the main force of the Japanese combined fleet, Chen Shaokuan was also very confident that he could win the battle and rushed to Shanghai in person to command the combined fleet operations.  The First Fleet guarded the Bohai Bay and threatened Japan's maritime transportation lines with the submarine base in Qingdao.  Submarine force headquarters in Yulingang, Sanya.  The order received was to send out all submarines, and cutting off the Japanese sea transportation lines was the first priority.  At the same time, the naval aviation force is also required to station two combat wings and one dive bomber wing in Taiwan.  Once a Japanese sea transport ship is discovered, it will attack and cooperate with submarines to cut off Japan's sea transport lines.

    It can be seen from this that it was a foolish move for Japan to abandon Taiwan for Sakhalin Island (called Kahatai Island in Japan). Taiwan's strategic location is too important. The existence of Taiwan's shore-based aircraft forced Japan's sea transportation lines to go around in a circle.  .

    The navy has made great moves. On the one hand, reconnaissance aircraft are scattered everywhere, and on the other hand, all submarines are released. The primary task at this stage is to cut off the route between the Japanese mainland and the Philippines.

    Chen Shaokuan¡¯s arrangement was a blow to Japan¡¯s waist.  Japan, which lacks resources, could normally purchase goods and transport them back to the country by sea. But now that the Chinese navy has done this, Japan's sea routes have actually been cut off.  Because even if there were ships, Japanese transport ships did not dare to go on the road. They could only look at the mountains of supplies piled up in various ports in Southeast Asia and could only wait for the navy to win the decisive battle before they could be shipped again.  Transportation now is no different than risking death. The Chinese have nearly a hundred submarines scurrying around the sea, not counting the shore-based aircraft in Taiwan and Natuna.  If we want to restore the safety of transportation lines, we can only destroy the main force of the Chinese Navy's Second Fleet first, and then conquer Natuna. Don't even think about Taiwan. It is unlikely that we will be able to defeat it within two years. We can only go around and cause trouble.  Can't afford to hide.  However, Natuna is not that easy to fight. Even though it is far away from the mainland, the Chinese have deployed an infantry brigade on the Natuna Road, built a strong enough fortress and fort, as well as a fighter wing and a bomber wing.  Team.  Natuna, which was originally obtained in the name of the evacuation transit station, suddenly turned into aThe maritime fortress has enough supplies to last the troops on the island for a year.

    There have been more and more people coming in and out of the Presidential Palace recently, and they are all soldiers. They have to carry three or five stars on their shoulders, and they are still generals with gold rims on the yellow ground.  It is true that these people can enter the presidential palace, but if they want to see the president, they have to queue up. The president's study is now a forbidden area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter unless summoned.  The only exception is Min Xiu. Her current status is very special. The old lady cannot do without her. She helps with matters in the president's study when she is free, and she is considered half a secretary.  Occasionally, she has to play the role of concubine. Unfortunately, every time the president ends up spreading his seed on Min Xiu's face, or letting her swallow it.  These things all happened in the study room and were considered shameful things.  It's a little secret between the two of them. Min Xiu cherishes this secret because it is the key to her survival.

    In the afternoon, when the old lady went to bed, Min Xiu came over with a cup of ginseng tea as usual. When passing the gate, the guard opened the tea cup as usual and poured out a small amount.  I drank it myself and waited for three minutes to make sure everything was fine before letting me go.  The rules were set when we were in Wuhan.  It continues to this day.  Even the women in the backyard consciously eat some after cooking.  Qi Erzhu, who is in charge of Fang Jianxiong's security, is now in his early fifties and has never dared to be careless on this issue.

    Knocking on the door, the president came in. Min Xiu opened the study door and saw Jiang Fangzhen there.  The two were facing each other across a huge sand table, both holding their chins in one hand.  With one hand, he looked at the situation on the sand table.

    "For such a big battle, the preparation period alone will take three months. We must be prepared for a surprise attack by the Japanese army. Our reconnaissance aircraft must be deployed more intensively, and there must be no sloppiness. The judgment from the front is that the Japanese army will launch an attack in the Far East.  The possibility is greater, so you must be on guard." Jiang Fangzhen was used to Min Xiu being able to talk freely when he was present, so Fang Jianxiong glanced at Min Qiu and said nothing.  He raised his hand and pointed at the sand table and said: "Vladivostok is close to Japan. The Japanese army transports supplies at night, so it is difficult to conduct detailed reconnaissance. In terms of terrain, the General Staff's judgment is objective, but it cannot be careless. The Yalu River defense line must be more vigilant.  Don¡¯t let your guard down just because we¡¯re going to attack.¡±

    As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong suddenly said to Min Xiu: "Put down the tea cup. Arrange the documents on the table, and then ask the Chief of General Staff to send someone to get them."

    "The key is the navy. How to force the Japanese army to take the initiative to fight decisively is the decisive factor. Congress has passed Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group's bill to build four new 42,000-ton aircraft carriers. As long as the navy can draw a tie with the Japanese army. Two years later, the Japanese Navy  Under the attack of the Chinese and American navies, defeat is inevitable. So what is anxious now is the Japanese navy. Not us. As long as we concentrate on attacking Japan's sea transportation lines, Japan's war potential will be exhausted faster. As for the army, Japan  There is a big gap in the army's equipment. Their best tank, the Type 89, weighs less than 13 tons, has 17 mm of frontal armor, and can reach a speed of no more than 25 kilometers per hour. It can be easily killed with a rocket launcher. So ground war is not a concern, the key is the sea." Jiang Fangzhen said this  It's a bit irritating, but it's true.  In fact, Japan's latest equipment is the Type 97 medium-sized tank, which weighs 15 tons, which is 10 tons heavier than the old Great Wall Type III tank equipped in China.

    "Japan's resources have always been difficult. When the army competes for steel, it cannot compete with the navy. After the outbreak of the world war, Japan should be developing new tanks, and Japanese industry has this capability. Unfortunately, Japan's resources determine that it is difficult for the Japanese army to equip too much  If you have more tanks, the only solution is to add one or two armored divisions. The two mechanized divisions currently in service in the Japanese army are equipped with tanks that are really not a concern." Fang Jianxiong added with a smile, Jiang Fangzhen nodded, and Min Qiu listened with perked ears.  .

    "That's it for today. I have to go back first. The Far East Campaign will be launched in two months or three months at the latest. This time should not change much. Three months is enough for the Navy to cut off Japan's maritime transportation.  Line." Jiang Fangzhen said goodbye and went out. Fang Jianxiong walked to the door. He closed the door and turned around to see Min Qiu standing in front of the desk, bending over to tidy up the table. The plump shape of the buttocks covered by the cheongsam was exposed. He thought of the smoothness underneath, and thought of the woman kneeling in front of him.  With a submissive expression, he felt very excited.

    Half an hour later, Min Xiu knelt in front of this powerful man. The sticky feeling on her face actually made her very excited. If it were not a matter of identity, the man in front of her would definitely make her do this willingly.  Compared to the man in front of me, those dwarfs I had seen before were really a piece of shit.  It's a pity that Min Xiu's background has destined her life trajectory.  Otherwise, just letting this kind of man enjoy it with his eyes closed is something that makes people proud and happy.  Men should be so strong!

    While both China and Japan are preparing for war, the battle for Tashkent has also reached its final moments.

    Lukin¡¯s command post is located in a strongIn the two-story building, which was once the Daosheng Bank in the former Tsarist Russia, there is a five-meter-deep vault underground, where Lukin has been staying in the vault to direct his troops in combat.

    The sound of gunfire is getting closer and closer, and the consequences of that kind of huge cannon firing at close range are so shocking. The Chinese used this kind of cannon to demolish the entire Tashkent into ruins.  The political commissar sitting on the chair looked pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. The last moment had arrived.  Lu Jin glanced at Comrade Political Commissar with an indifferent expression, picked up a rifle, and walked out of the vault for the first time since the battle.

    The sun is shining brightly outside the window, a rare good weather.  It is a pity that this city under the sun, which originally had a population of more than 500,000, has now become a piece of rubble.  The top of the two-story building has been riddled with holes, all the result of swooping strafing from Mustang fighter planes.

    When Lu Jin's eyes were dazzled by the sun, a scream suddenly came, and the whole building suddenly trembled violently and was about to collapse.  A cement block weighing more than ten kilograms fell from the sky. Lu Jin couldn't dodge and was hit hard. His body that fell to the ground twitched a few times and then stopped moving.  On March 7, 1941, the army commander of the Soviet Tashkent garrison was killed, and the remaining troops gave up resistance. 200,000 Soviet troops died in the battle, 150,000 Soviet troops became prisoners, and countless people were missing. The Tashkent offensive ended.

    No one can say for sure how many people died in Tashkent.  The urban area had a population of 550,000 before the war. After the war started, a large number of people fled, and those who were left were basically unable to leave. The Soviet army did not have that much food to feed these people.  According to an officer who supervised the cleanup of the ruins of Soviet prisoners after the war, the worst thing was the women. The pretty ones lived a few more days and died naked.  A hundred years later, pits for burying people were often dug during construction in this city, and countless dead bones spoke to future generations.

    Li Daxiong finally had the opportunity to command a major battle. The sight of six mechanized armies wreaking havoc on the land of the Far East made him extremely excited when he thought about it.  As the commander of the Northeastern Front, the main battlefields he is responsible for are in the Far East. The deputy commander Peng Shichuan is responsible for the battle situation in the Shenyang direction.

    Preparations before the war are in progress in an orderly manner. Freighters departing from Tianjin Port are continuously transporting materials to Yingkou, and then transported by train to the Heilongjiang front line.  The First Fleet is already waiting at the mouth of the Bohai Bay. Shore-based aircraft and the main force of the fleet are enough to block the entry of the Japanese navy.

    Both China and Japan are making preparations for the decisive battle, and both sides believe that they can win this war.

    Li Daxiong has come to inspect the terrain near Shuangchengzi countless times. After serving as a soldier in the Northeast for 20 years, Shuangchengzi, which was abandoned at the beginning, has now become a huge fortress group after continuous reinforcement and construction by the Japanese army.  On the throat to Vladivostok.  According to the combat instructions of the General Staff, the National Defense Forces will launch an attack from two directions. All the way from Suifenhe to the Dongning line, the 50-kilometer border will be attacked to form a semi-encirclement of Shuangchengzi. The other line will attack from Hulin to capture Datong.  After Lirenecchenko, quickly go south along the Siberian Railway. This way south is the main force.
