The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The Japanese are not picky eaters, and some are good enough. Although they have joined forces with the Westerners, and the Japanese have tried their best to blend in and become part of the so-called civilized camp. They wear that suit and tie, but deep down, they are still narrow-minded, stingy, and gloomy. The oriental dwarf.

And what about the Great Powers?It's just to balance the power of the East, so he pinches his nose and admits Japan's joining. In his heart, the foreign devils look down on all colored people at all. What a powerful Japan, the Japanese are almost coaxing themselves!

Being able to let the Americans show such great strength to support themselves this time is already a huge bargain, so what else is there to be picky about?Anyway, the Chinese on the opposite side will never confirm their nationality before firing. The more they are shot down, the more casualties will be, and the deeper the Yankees will be trapped. By then, they may not be willing to leave?

Therefore, from top to bottom, the Japanese were not worried about any accidents at all, and even secretly rejoiced in private. This time, they finally got Yingmi ghosts in.Has been using us to check and balance China and Russia?Hehe, there is no such cheap thing in the world!

For the next half a day, Yoshio Shinozuka was riding a roller coaster without stopping for a moment.

First came the news that the search and arrest brigade was forcefully defeated by the air force, with heavy casualties, but the pursuit target escaped without a trace, and then the airborne troops rushed forward in a hurry, and could only clean up the battlefield to rescue the wounded and bury the dead bodies. Hunting?There are no doors!

The airborne troops that followed were blown up in the sky. Six to seven hundred people, all of whom were good guys picked out of the army, were all thrown into meatloaf from a high altitude and scattered randomly in the vast mountains. Can't get it back!

The damn Yankee pilots are all better than monkeys, don't look careless when working.At critical moments, check that the plane is not saved, as long as it is not shot, one by one decisively parachute to escape, the speed is faster than a serious paratrooper!

American and American pilots all carry Chinese prisoner-of-war clauses on their bodies, and the landing zone is the territory of the Japanese army.Their rough skin and thick flesh can also withstand the torture of barren mountains and mountains. As long as they don't fall to their death on the spot, most of them can be found by the search and rescue team, so don't worry too much.

Even if they fall into the hands of the Chinese, there is no need to be afraid. They are valuable enough and can be redeemed or exchanged. The United States has captured countless suspected Chinese spies. They were caught in the last naval battle tens of thousands of navies.It was exchanged or redeemed under similar conditions.The attitude of the Chinese people is very good, they treat the wounds and give them delicious food. The fly in the ointment is that they catch people working every day, which is called "reform through labor"....

The only thing to worry about is probably falling into the hands of North Korean guerrillas.

These brutal, ignorant and backward guys have more vicious methods than anyone else, and they don't even listen to who they are from America.As long as it is a foreign devil with a big nose, he will be beaten to death when he comes up.Some vicious skinning can even light up sky lanterns, it's very scary!

When encountering them, the best way is to take out the m1911a1 around the waist and commit suicide, so as to save yourself the pain.

But it is said that the North Korean guerrillas now listen to the leadership of the Chinese, maybe it will be better!

It is conceivable that under the sweep of the "Flying Shark" fleet.The slow-moving transport plane had no power to fight back at all. The pilot parachuted first, regardless of the life and death of the passengers behind.

In the afternoon, the first army guarded the long front from Shuozhou to the sea.The successive attacks by small groups of people made Shinozuka even more convinced that Takashi Tanaka's judgment was correct!The Chinese army is indeed no longer a small-scale harassment, they are going to fight for the army to cross the river!

They never suspect that it was created by guerrillas, because first of all, it is impossible to run so far from a corner in one go.Secondly, the equipment level of the guerrillas is not unclear, unlike now, each squad has at least two mortars and a few rocket launchers!When encountering a bunker fortress, instead of bypassing it, they directly bombarded it with rockets. It was a mess of arrogance!

In terms of firepower equipment, each of these guys is like a mobile arsenal. The bullets are almost endless, and the machine gun can last for an hour of high-intensity combat. They are covered in body armor, stealth camouflage uniforms, mountain combat boots, and even underwear. They are all high-quality products of a uniform standard, and there is no trace of guerrilla poverty.Coupled with the skillful mountain combat small team coordination tactics, it is definitely an elite soldier among the elite soldiers!

The destruction of more than a dozen elite groups attracted tens of thousands of Japanese elites, and the ensuing air strikes wiped out most of them, followed by the lurking air force raiding reinforcements and airborne supplies. A series of blows was like a storm All the attacks followed, and before dark in the afternoon, more than a dozen holes were poked through the entire First Army defense zone, directly causing nearly 2 casualties, and more than 100 transport planes and an equal number of fighter planes were destroyed!

Shinozuka Yoshio finally felt something was wrong!However, due to information asymmetry, he still cannot judge what kind of strategy and tactics the opponent will adopt next.

Aside from the headache, His Excellency the Commander was spinning around in the tent of the headquarters anxiously. After much deliberation, he decided to report his judgment to the higher authorities. This is most likely a new tactic and must be treated with caution!

Takashi Tanaka did not change the way of thinking of his intelligence personnel, and insisted: "No! The Chinese Army does not have the conditions to create any new tactics! I think this is the harbinger of their full-scale attack! They must have known our strategy through intelligence personnel. The defense is indestructible, complex and powerful. If you attack directly across the river, you will suffer heavy losses, which will greatly affect Zhu Bin's dominance in the country! Therefore, they will use their advantages in elite combat to try to Destroy our defensive strongholds one by one and consume our frontline forces! Once the defensive fortresses are completely destroyed, they will immediately attack across the board! Therefore, I think that we should try our best to ensure that the frontline defense center has sufficient troops! We must not give them the opportunity to deploy their forces !"

Throughout Japan, in terms of research on China's situation and Zhu Bin's research, Takashi Tanaka has now become a level-one expert, even surpassing the retired Kenji Doihara.He also thinks that he is the best, so he speaks very confidently.

Shinozuka Yoshio also subconsciously agreed with this fellow's qualifications, and after hearing what he said, he began to wonder if he had overreacted a bit.

Come to think of it, that might really be the case!

The terrain of North Korea is different from that of China, and there is basically no environment for a large army to launch a field battle.Small-scale, with the largest division as the unit, light-weight mountain armored forces are more superior, while China's powerful armored forces are used to large-scale, deep-depth storms and raids, and they are useless here. If you want to change, you can't. so easy.

So a Yalu River.But it has become a dividing line like a natural danger. No matter who wants to attack, the establishment of a solid forward base after crossing the river becomes a very critical turning point.

The Japanese army was aware of this a long time ago. More than a year ago, it drove millions of civilians to cooperate with the Engineering Corps to set up a defense line along the river.With the experience of being destroyed twice on the Great Wall defense line, the fortress built here is stronger and more mature.Not only can it prevent the direct bombardment of heavy artillery, and the bombardment of conventional heavy bombs in the air, but also against special incendiary bombs, terrible suffocating bombs (cloud bombs), gas bombs and ground penetrating bombs, etc.Made a careful design and deployment.

With the help of the mountains all over the ground, among the dense clusters of mountains ranging in height from 200 meters to 400 meters, we drilled deeply to build interconnected fortifications, almost every one of which is a curved tunnel passing through the mountains.

Direct bombing can't break rocks at least 200 meters away; incendiary bombs, poisonous gas and suffocation?There are huge straight-through ventilation holes and multiple closed lock chambers at the back, as well as gas masks and so on.Even if the front is smashed, people can get out from the back.Will not be blocked inside.

In order to exploit North Korean resources as early as possible, Japan has already built hundreds of mining areas in the north.Almost all the resources here will be plundered and excavated. Almost all the miners in Japan are concentrated here. With their help and loans from the big powers, it can be said that they have spared no effort and spared no expense in building a defense line!

With such preparations.Japan believes that it will be very difficult to completely conquer!

The mouse has become a spirit, and it is too difficult to catch.Although the name doesn't sound good, as long as it can win the final victory.Who can have the last laugh is the most important thing.

Shinozuka Yoshio deliberated, and without a better judgment, he passed the summary to the Northern Theater Command. After receiving it, the commander-in-chief, General Hisao Nishio, and the members of the headquarters compared it with other defense forces. The news that came at the same time made it difficult.

His chief of staff is surprisingly Itagaki Seishiro who has come out again!This military leader who made illustrious military exploits was reactivated after the Kwantung Army's elite transfer order, and served as the main staff leader of the entire counter-branch operation.As the general who knows China the best, is the most familiar with the Northeast and is the most mature, his level is beyond doubt.

At the moment, facing a lot of information, he solemnly analyzed it and made a judgment: "For the time being, the China Army has no possibility of a large-scale attack! Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio's judgment is correct. With the China Army's military equipment, They will never be satisfied with such a small-scale battle. It will definitely be an integrated attack by the joint navy. In the shortest possible time, the largest number of soldiers will be poured into the narrow battlefield for a quick victory, which is in line with their national strength. and the status quo!"

This statement is not self-righteous and taken for granted, it is really for the sake of putting yourself in China's shoes.

How dangerous is China now?It can be said that the entire country is surrounded by enemies!The British alone instigated an outflank from Burma, India, and Nepal, and by the way instigated Kang Zang to make trouble.Soviet Russia, on the other hand, presents a coercive posture from the long thousands of kilometers of front in Western Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Heilongjiang, with hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers ready to go!But this road is better. With the pissing nature of Russians, they are definitely not the pioneers. They will definitely take advantage of the fire when China is in trouble or showing signs of defeat. It is already very good for Bin's elite soldiers to counterattack and contain hundreds of thousands of defense forces in this way.

On the border of Vietnam, there are threats from the French and Japanese soldiers. On the sea, there is a threat from the powerful navy of the coalition forces. In the Korean theater, all the elite Japanese soldiers are gathered in one place.

It can be said that if there is a problem on any front, China will be in big trouble.If Zhu Bin hesitated, he would definitely be dragged to death.What is most beneficial to him is that each battlefield adopts the method of quick battle and quick decision. He will use all his strength to defeat the enemy in front of him and resolve the threat, and then concentrate his strength to solve another one.

In this way, on the one hand, the old man will not be left with the opportunity to sneak up and pick up cheap, and on the other hand, the morale of the domestic people can always be maintained, and resource consumption can be minimized.You must know that China today is completely besieged by all.

However, Hisao Nishio still hesitated: "However, in just one day, there are so many attack points, causing so much damage, it is also very unfavorable to us!"

The first army alone lost more than [-], and the rest of the armies added up to lose [-] to [-] in one day!Even if the Japanese army now has millions of assets, the reserve force is huge.It's also a bit overwhelming!

Itagaki Seishiro said confidently: "This is all temporary! Everything was caused by the sudden and unprepared attack of the Chinese army. I believe they will soon adapt and greatly restrain their troubles! Hmph, back then in Manchuria, such a large area , so many guerrillas can easily kill them, let alone our base camp that operates half of the world!"

Your Excellency the General agrees with this one.The Kwantung Army's bandit suppression operations back then, Seishiro Itagaki and his group all had extremely rich experience.There are complex mountains, rivers and dense forests everywhere in the Northeast. Without the support of the people, they can be killed. Now in northern North Korea, there are Japanese mining areas everywhere. The militiamen alone are 10,000+. Armed, any guerrillas can only stare blankly!

But Seishiro Itagaki is not too late.Then said: "In addition, we can also put pressure on Yingmi regarding the current situation! Ask them to send more air force escorts! Hmph. We can't just lose our own elite soldiers! They also have to contribute!"

Hisao Nishio agreed: "This request is not excessive at all! British and American foreigners will not be happy to see us lose too much and quickly lose the line of defense!"

The upper echelons of Japan are actually very clear about what the foreign devils are up to, let alone talk about it, they are all taking advantage of each other anyway, and whoever can deduct a little more benefit depends on their own abilities.

The Northern Theater Command is located in Pyongyang.Not only the Japanese, but also the Yankee's Far Eastern Military Command also sent representatives, but it was Sutherland, MacArthur's chief of staff.In addition, there was the First Army under him, commanded by General Wainwright, but it was not sent to the front line.Right now, they are still in the learning stage.

The Yankees and the British arrived soon. After listening to the front battle report, the forward observers set up by the two countries also passed on similar information, but it was not as comprehensive and detailed as the Japanese's analysis.

After the summary was completed, Major General Sutherland first worriedly reminded the Japanese to pay attention to the war damage, but seeing that they didn't care at all, knowing that these dwarfs were not as serious about human life as they were, he felt contemptuous in his heart, and was very glad that he was not in a hurry Send your own people up, otherwise, tens of thousands of American soldiers will die a day, and the country will definitely be bombed!

Laughing secretly at the incompetence of the Japanese army, Sutherland asked solemnly: "Mr. General, should I be worried that your army is not sure to hold the defense line along the river? I am afraid it will be difficult to last for too long at such a loss speed?!"

Itagaki Seishiro replied on his behalf: "The initial loss is just a special case. Now that the tactics of the Chinese army have been figured out, the next loss will become very slight! We are very sure that they will not be able to destroy the line of defense and successfully cross the river, but the premise is that the United States The superiority in the air must be guaranteed! Most of the kills were caused by their fighter planes!"

Sutherland waved his hand lightly: "That's not a problem! We will immediately send more excellent pilots to ensure the safety of the sky! But can you be sure that this is not a harbinger of a full-scale attack?"

Itagaki Seishiro confidently vetoed: "Certainly not! The art of war in China is about defeating the enemy without fighting! If there is an all-out attack, their navy will mobilize in coordination, and they will let a large number of rebels secretly instigate Koreans and Chinese laborers to make trouble. Riots and sabotage! There are no signs of these, so with just a little space on the front line, it is impossible to move their armored troops, and there is no way to talk about a full-scale attack!"

Sutherland himself did not personally experience the Sino-Japanese War, and all the information was collected from various parties and provided by Japan, so it is not good to be too arbitrary.Furthermore, the order he received was to let the Japanese and the Chinese fight to the end, to consume as much strength as possible, and wait until the domestic conscription training is completed and the new fleet is formed, it is still early. Bad!

After discussing with the British guy, he nodded and agreed: "Okay! Then according to your judgment, we are most likely to dispatch the air force. However, since the opponent cannot launch a large-scale attack, is it possible for our coalition forces to make an active attack?" What about the cross-river attack? Even if it doesn't make much progress, at least it won't always be reactive!"

As he spoke, his eyes were obviously full of hopeful light!

Taking the initiative to attack and win, this is a move of great symbolic significance!Reflected domestically, it is the first record of the Far East Army Command, and Commander MacArthur needs such feats to determine his own existence value!

"Actively attack?!"

Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help hesitating for a moment.But obviously he was a little bit moved!Because he knew that the Chinese on the opposite side of the river didn't actually build a defense system. They had always maintained an active offensive posture, and they probably didn't expect to be counterattacked?If a guy comes suddenly, maybe it can be done!

At least, it's better than being beaten passively in one's own territory all the time?

Hastily murmured to Hisao Nishio, then nodded resolutely: "As long as your army can guarantee the scale of airlift and the strength of air cover, we might as well launch a surprise attack! In return for the challenge of the Chinese people!"

Sutherland was overjoyed and asked, "How many troops can you dispatch to participate?!"

Hisao Nishio said proudly: "The elite of our Japanese Army can use 200 million at any time! How much you want depends on your transportation capacity!"

"Then it shouldn't be a problem for our First Army to send some soldiers to participate?"

Itagaki Seishiro immediately understood Yankee's intentions, and nodded calmly: "We are very happy to fight side by side with our friendly forces!"

Sutherland slapped the table and shouted excitedly: "Okay! Then I will immediately report to the Far East Army Command. I believe General MacArthur will be happy to see such a plan succeed! Gentlemen, I wish our operation a complete success!"

Itagaki Seishiro and Nishio Hiszou applauded, then exchanged a hidden look, and hummed coldly in their hearts: "Yimi Guishu, do you really think war is so fun? Waiting to learn from the Chinese people!" (To be continued. .)
