Yang Du¡¯s evaluation of the Japanese was sharp. He believed that the Japanese liked gambling, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894 and the Russo-Japanese War were the most direct manifestations. If Japan were defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, it would have a major blow to Japan's development. The result of the complete failure of the Russo-Japanese War was the collapse of Japan's economy.
In the game, Chen Hao changed the plot of the Russo-Japanese War. If Japanese players had not invested in monetary support, the Japanese economy would have been completely destroyed. There are more than two gambling behaviors of the Japanese that Yang Du knows about. In history, they launched a full-scale war of aggression against China and launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to declare war on the United States. These are all manifestations of the nature of Japanese gamblers.
Yang Du analyzed the character of the Japanese nation, and then pointed out that the main force of the Japanese navy did not want to go to war, but because they could not see any chance of victory. If the Japanese navy discovers fighter planes and believes that there is more than half a chance of victory, it will take risks and launch a decisive battle at sea.
Yang Du¡¯s opinions attracted the attention of Jiang Baili and Cai E. Although the two were not familiar with the navy, they had many things in common in the art of war. In order for the Japanese Navy to go to sea to fight, it is necessary to paralyze the Japanese Navy Commander Togo Heihachiro and make him believe that there is a high degree of victory in the war. However, we must be careful when luring the Japanese navy, otherwise the Cam Ranh Bay fleet will be the one to suffer if the Japanese navy swallows the bait and retreats safely.
The number of warships in Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian coalition exceeds that of Japan. If the Japanese navy is to capture the fighter planes, the navy must disperse its operations. Yang Du was not very capable as a commander, but he was good at creating illusions. When Wang Yaqiao reported on the surveillance of Japanese spy Yuji Yagyu, he thought of a way to paralyze the enemy.
Yuji Yagyu has been lurking in Cam Ranh Bay. He has a Vietnamese pseudonym, Ruan Wenchang, and he mingles with the aborigines near Cam Ranh Bay to conduct espionage activities. When Wu Peifu attacked Taiwan, Yuji Yagyu had obtained various information about Cam Ranh Bay and sent the information to the Japanese base camp.
Although the Japanese base camp was tricked. However, the information provided by Yuji Yagyu was very accurate, and the movements of the army and navy in Cam Ranh Bay were clearly reported to him. After Taiwan was captured, Yuuji Yagyu still didn't realize that he had been exposed. The Japanese base camp also believed that he was an outstanding agent of the empire and allowed him to stay in Cam Ranh Bay to inquire for information.
Jiang Baili and Cai E rushed to Incheon to submit the combat plan. After the plan was improved and turned into an S-class, Chen Hao agreed to the plan. According to the plan, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet will serve as the main force of operations. After communicating with the Tsar, he generated electricity. The Tsar admired the plan and expressed Russia's full support.
In the Telecommunications Section of the Cam Ranh Bay Command, the NPC previously given as a gift by the system was transferred to other positions and replaced by an NPC soldier named Li Erhu. Yang Du discovered through his "eyesight" stunt that Li Erhu was a telecommunications genius. He got the opportunity to enter the headquarters, but the Japanese spy Yuji Yagyu took advantage of the loophole.
In order to get close to Li Erhu, Yagyu Yuuji secretly arranged for half a year, and finally got the handle on Li Erhu. It is a pity that Yuji Yagyu, as an NPC, did not understand the power of Mr. Chen's "Emperor's Mind" stunt. When he grasped the handle of Li Erhu, Li Erhu ostensibly agreed to his series of conditions, but secretly took the initiative to find Wang Yaqiao.
After Wang Yaqiao reported to Chen Hao, Chen Hao ordered Li Erhu to confront Yagyu Yuji and deliberately leaked some information to mislead the Japanese. After paralyzing the Japanese base camp and successfully taking over Taiwan. This time Yang Du had a bigger appetite. He wanted to set up a trap again to lure the snake out of its hole and create conditions for annihilating the main force of the Japanese navy.
Yagyu Yuuji and Li Erhu met in a remote place, and Li Erhu handed him a latest telegram, in which Incheon requested the Government Affairs Council to collect information related to Sasebo. Yuji Yagyu was surprised when he saw the word Sasebo. Sasebo is an important naval base in Japan. What do the Chinese want to do?
Yagyuo did not dare to neglect, and contacted the Japanese base camp through a secret radio station, reporting that the Chinese were paying attention to Sasebo. The Japanese base camp took this telegram very seriously after receiving it. The Admiralty held a meeting overnight and asked Yagyu Yuuji to further inquire about the information.
The next day, Akashi Genjiro, the king of Japanese agents, sent a telegram to the Japanese base camp, saying that Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian Navy had frequent contacts and were preparing a large-scale combat plan. Akashi Genjiro said that "Busan" and Sasebo were mentioned many times in telegrams from the two navies, and it seemed that the combat plan was related to these two ports.
Akashi Genjiro is Japan¡¯s genius spy king. During the Russo-Japanese War, he sponsored the launch of the Russian Revolution of 1905, which turned the Russian hinterland upside down. He is known as a person who can be worth ten divisions. Because of his genius brain, he was refused entry to the Monaco Casino. There were only two Japanese who received such treatment, and the other one was Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Combined Fleet during World War II.
After receiving the information from Akashi Genjiro, the Japanese base camp confirmed the information that Yagyu Yuuji had found, and paid more attention to the relevant information about Sasebo. Afternoon cruise??The Japanese Navy reported that it had captured two fishing boats driven by Chinese aliens. The Chinese were disguised as Japanese fishermen and were inquiring about information near Sasebo.
Yamamoto Isoroku ordered Yagyu Yuji and Akashi Genjiro to strengthen intelligence collection, and ordered the two people to report their intelligence to him as soon as possible. Akashi Genjiro is worthy of being a genius agent. He obtained a naval combat plan from a Russian naval vice admiral through very clever means.
After reading this joint operation plan for Cam Ranh Bay and Russia, Togo Heihachiro frowned. The enemy¡¯s appetite is too great. The Chinese and the Russians tried to feign an attack on Busan with one-third of their fleet, and after attracting the attention of the Japanese navy, the main fleet escorted the three armies to land at Sasebo, thereby opening up a second battlefield on the Japanese mainland.
Japan is at a disadvantage in Korea. If Cam Ranh Bay and Russia really open up a second battlefield, Japan will undoubtedly lose this war. Togo Heihachiro also suspected whether it was an enemy trap. He reported the situation to the base camp, and the Japanese base camp started a debate.
Some people think that this is an opportunity. Since the enemy's strategic intentions are understood in advance, it will become easier to deal with it, and maybe it can reverse the navy's passive situation in one fell swoop. Some people also believe that this is a conspiracy of the enemy. Once the main navy is dispatched, it may be surrounded and annihilated by Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian navy.
Yang Du¡¯s judgment of the Japanese is very accurate. The Japanese are gamblers and most of them believe that the main fleet should be sent to besiege one-third of the enemy¡¯s fleet. Although Togo Heihachiro still had concerns, he still accepted the suggestion to go to war. A third fleet of the Japanese and Russian navies attacked Pusan. If the Korean battlefield was completely ignored, it would be completely defeated.
The Japanese base camp ordered intelligence personnel to continue collecting information, and at the same time urgently mobilized the army of two divisions to strengthen the defense of Sasebo and prepare to face the enemy's main navy in Sasebo. Once it is confirmed that one-third of the enemy's warships are attacking Pusan ??and their main fleet is detouring to the South Pacific to prepare for a sneak attack on Sasebo, the main force of the Japanese navy will pass through the Tsushima Strait to deal with the fleet attacking Pusan.
Yagyu Yuuji and Akashi Genjiro continue to report back to the base camp. More and more intelligence shows that Cam Ranh Bay and Russia are trying to land in Sasebo to open a second battlefield. On August 16, the Russian Pacific Fleet's five dreadnoughts, twelve battle cruisers, twenty-six cruisers, and a large number of destroyers passed through the Sea of ??Japan and headed for Pusan.
A section of the Russian Pacific Fleet stationed in Lushun left the port and sailed southward into the Yellow Sea, and soon lost any news. The main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay, which had been cruising in the Yellow Sea, sank several small ships monitored by Japan and also entered the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese Navy, which had already received the intelligence, dispatched fishing boats and waited near the 34th degree north latitude. Sure enough, they discovered the merged Japanese and Russian navies.
The Chinese Navy and the Russian Navy were heading south, and the fishing boats did not dare to get too close. They reported the information to the Japanese base camp as soon as possible. Intelligence personnel in Southwest China soon sent a telegram. Chen Baxian's ace unit Southwest Security Division disappeared, and the second and third divisions were also missing.
Yuji Yagyu reported the latest news. A large number of cargo ships from an ocean-going company secretly controlled by Cam Ranh Bay were missing, and the Cam Ranh Bay Government Office prepared a large amount of supplies in a short period of time. The Japanese military headquarters in North Korea also sent a telegram stating that Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian army had slowed down their attack speed, and almost one army in total had disappeared.
After synthesizing a large amount of information, the Japanese base camp no longer had any doubts about the combat plan discovered by Akashi Genjiro and Yagyu Yuuji. Togo Heihachiro quickly organized the Naval Staff to formulate a combat plan. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the main force of the Japanese Navy rushed to Busan to deal with the Russian fleet. For this purpose, they did not hesitate to use more than 40 warships piloted by strangers.
The Sasebo Naval Base is completely defended by the Army. Even if the port falls, it doesn¡¯t matter. The Army will retreat thirty kilometers to lay out a solid defense line. As long as the Russian navy can be successfully annihilated, the Japanese navy's disadvantage will no longer be so great. It is not easy for Cam Ranh Bay and Russia to block sea lines of communication, and Japan still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Of course, dispatching all the Japanese navy is not without risks. Once the navy is completely wiped out, Japan will be beyond redemption. The Japanese base camp knows this very well, but if they don't seize this opportunity, they will lose North Korea and lose the war. Rather than sit back and wait for death and be sentenced to a suspended death sentence, it is better to take a gamble and try whether it can annihilate most of the Russian navy. This is the most realistic idea of ??the Japanese base camp.
After converging with the Russian Pacific Fleet stationed in Port Arthur at Cam Ranh Bay, it went south to near 33 degrees north latitude. Chen Shaokuan sent more than 30 patrol teams to check around. After confirming that there were no Japanese reconnaissance ships, he issued an order for all warships to turn around and sail to the Tsushima Strait.
The Japanese thought that the Combined Fleet would go all the way south and then escort the troop transport to land in Sasebo. However, the Combined Fleet turned around and headed towards the Tsushima Strait from near the 33rd parallel north. When Chen Shaokuan ordered the fleet to turn, Togo Heihachiro also commanded the main force of the Japanese navy to leave the port and prepare to sail north from Tsushima Island.??Outflank the Russian fleet attacking Pusan.
