Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 107: Get vaccinated in advance! (Subscribe!)

"What did you say?" When Lu Yuhua received the news that Germany was attacking France, he was stunned for a moment.

He was not surprised by Germany's attack on France, but he did expect it to be so hasty.

I originally thought that Germany would wait at least a little longer, but who knew it would be so soon.

"It seems that Germany can't wait any longer." Lu Yuhua calmed down and drew a conclusion after looking at the map.

That is, the Japanese army's repeated victories in Southeast Asia made the German army unable to hold back and decided to take action against Britain and France.

"Commander, can the German army win?" Zhou Weiguo, who had just arrived at the 714th Regiment Headquarters, asked doubtfully.

Lu Yuhua did not immediately answer Zhou Weiguo's doubts, but asked someone to change the sand table and arrange it according to the current strength comparison between the two sides.

When everything was completed, the troop deployments of both sides became clear at a glance.

Looking at the sand table in front of them, Zhou Weiguo and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

And Lu Yuhua gestured.

"Come and take a look, especially you, Long Wenjian. Take a good look and learn how to command a large army in battle."

"Brother Weiguo, come first and tell me what you think."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo did not hesitate to come to the center of the sand table. After looking at the troop deployments of both sides, he kept thinking about how he would break the impasse if he were the German army.

"General, I think it will be difficult for the German army to break through the Maginot Line."

After these words were spoken, even Long Wenjian who was standing beside him couldn't help but nod his head.

It was only after Lu Yuhua’s popular science that Long Wenjian learned that the Maginot Line was a very solid line of defense, and not only that, it was also equipped with various heavy artillery.

"Go on." Lu Yuhua did not answer, but gestured for the other party to continue.

The reason for conducting this sand table exercise is to train a group of officers with strategic vision.

"Chief, Chen Feng is here." Just then, the adjutant came in and reported in a low voice.

"Let him in." Lu Yuhua nodded, then signaled the adjutant to bring the person in.

Not long after, Chen Feng was brought into the command center with a confused look on his face.

He was indeed very confused. He had been training very well at the beach, but who would have thought that he would be ordered to go to Nanning to report.

It is a soldier's duty to obey orders, so it was impossible for him to refuse.

When you enter the command center, you will see a huge sand table in front of you.

Lu Yuhua nodded at Chen Feng, motioning him to stand aside and listen first.

Chen Feng also stood aside very obediently, looking at the sand table in front of him.

By comparing it with the maps in my mind, I quickly recognized that the sand table in front of me was Europe.

"If I were the commander of the German army, I would definitely not take the initiative to attack the British and French forces on the Maginot Line. I would choose to consume their resources and then take a detour from other places." Zhou Weiguo went to Germany to study and had a certain understanding of the terrain of Europe.

He had also heard of the Schlieffen Plan, so his thinking was also based on the Schlieffen Plan for analysis.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua felt a little disappointed. It turned out that strategic masters were rare.

But it doesn’t matter, I can cultivate it slowly.

After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, Lu Yuhua nodded and then looked at Long Wenjian who was standing beside him.

"What about you? What do you think?"

"No." Long Wenjian scratched his head, feeling that these were too difficult for him.

It is simply unimaginable to command millions of troops in battle.

"Unless you are willing to lose hundreds of thousands of lives, I don't know how to break through the defense line." Long Wenjian thought for a moment and added.

"But in that case, the German army would definitely be finished."

"Okay, if you didn't have this awareness, I would have thought you were a fool." Lu Yuhua replied unhappily.

"What about you? Chen Feng? What do you think?" Lu Yuhua looked at Chen Feng again.

Chen Feng was stunned when his name was suddenly called and told the truth.

He is still in a daze.

You were training well, so why are you here?

He was also asked to analyze a huge sand table.

More importantly, the war simulated on the sand table was between Germany and France, which made him extremely confused.

"Boss, can I ask you something? Has a new war broken out?" Chen Feng didn't know the specific situation, so he thought it would be better to understand it first and then analyze it.

"Yes, not long ago, Germany announced an attack on France, and now a new war has broken out in Europe." Lu Yuhua thought that the other party had been training at the seaside and did not know about the war that broke out in Europe, so he gave a brief account.

Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and then asked curiously.

"Boss, what impact will the outbreak of war in Europe have on us?"

It’s no wonder that he asked this question. He really didn’t know what far-reaching impact the outbreak of war in Europe would have on them.

He always felt that this shouldn't affect anything?
"What impact do you think it will have?" Lu Yuhua did not answer immediately, but asked back.

Who knows, Chen Feng spread his hands and expressed helplessly.

"I don't know. I just know when we can drive the devils away."

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but chuckle, then explained with a smile.

"The outbreak of war in Europe is indeed an opportunity for us."

"It has been almost three years since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Our weapons and ammunition have basically been used up. If it weren't for those pitiful Soviet weapons, we would have collapsed long ago."

No one refuted this point.

Especially Chen Feng and Zhou Weiguo, they both fought against the Japanese army in North China, and they knew that fighting behind enemy lines was extremely brutal. Not to mention the shortage of food and medicine, weapons and ammunition were really in short supply.

You can only rely on rubbing your hands to replenish some ammunition, but the power is limited.

More often than not, three people had one gun and five bullets, and after the battle they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

It’s really not easy to persist until now.

"Before this, countries like Britain, France, and the United States simply turned a blind eye to our plight and even embargoed the export of weapons."

"But things are different now. Their own interests have been violated, so they may change their strategy and perhaps show us goodwill."

Before Lu Yuhua finished speaking, he saw Long Wenjian speaking.

"Boss, do you mean that the powers such as Britain and France are going to support us?" "From this perspective, it does have a certain impact on us."

"Then when can we get support? That's not right. I remember the British army suffered a crushing defeat not long ago. Do they still have enough strength to support us?"

Not only Long Wenjian was confused, but the other two people were also puzzled.

"I don't know when the support will be given, but I do know one thing, that is, the more miserable the defeat of Britain and France, the more support they will give us." Lu Yuhua smiled.

The other three were even more confused. What did it mean that the worse the defeat, the more support they would receive?
"You will slowly understand it in the future." Lu Yuhua did not explain too much. He was the only one who knew that if they wanted support from Britain and the United States, they would get it only if they were defeated more miserably.

Before that, it was all empty promises.

"If that's the case, then the outbreak of a war in Europe is indeed a good opportunity for us. However, the British and French forces have the Maginot Line. How should the German army solve this problem?" Chen Feng brought the issue back to the starting point.

"It's very simple, break through from here." Lu Yuhua picked up the teaching stick and pointed to a place.

"Ardennes Forest? This is a primeval forest and it's impossible to pass through." Zhou Weiguo knew the terrain of Europe, so he recognized it as the Ardennes Forest at a glance and was very surprised.

"Yes, everyone knows that this is a primeval forest, but the German army broke through from here and headed straight for Paris, forcing the French army to surrender." Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact, and this time with the T-34 tank as a sample, I believe the strength of the German armored forces should be improved.

Then the offensive speed will become faster.

Perhaps it would take less than a month to destroy France.

"This is impossible. How could they carry so many supplies?" Zhou Weiguo still shook his head in disbelief. This was truly shocking.

"Even if the Germans break through here, the French can withdraw troops from the front line to provide support."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo's face changed. He looked at the sand table fiercely, thinking about what Lu Yuhua had just said, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I understand, I understand."

"What did you understand?" Long Wenjian looked confused. Why was this guy talking so weird?
Do you look down on others just because you are a German-equipped division?
Can't you say something understandable?

"If the German army concentrates all its armored forces, uses this place as a breakthrough point, and heads straight for Paris, and at the same time follow-up troops follow up and begin to attack on both sides, then the French army on the Maginot Line will be surrounded from the front and back. Without supplies, the French army will indeed surrender." It was not until this moment that Zhou Weiguo really understood why Lu Yuhua was so sure that the German army would win.

"Hiss, there must be supplies and ammunition stored on this defense line. Can't it hold out for a few months?" Long Wenjian looked puzzled.

For him, if he had weapons and ammunition, he would definitely be able to hold out for several months.

All we can say is that Long Wenjian doesn’t understand the French army.

At this time, Lu Yuhua said lightly.

"No one can occupy France until Paris surrenders."

"What?" Long Wenjian looked at the other person blankly, as if asking what this meant.

"This is a joke about the fact that France always surrenders so quickly, even before the enemy has the chance to attack Paris, France has already surrendered." Lu Yuhua explained casually.

"Is it really that fast?" Long Wenjian still had some doubts.

"Wait a little longer, you will know in a month at most." Lu Yuhua was too lazy to explain so much to him.

"So, President, do you mean that we should be prepared to support Britain and France?" Chen Feng's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua was surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Feng had such a good sense of smell.

"Not really. I just want you to be mentally prepared. If Britain and France suffer a crushing defeat, the war situation in the Far East will also change. By then, the Japanese army will definitely take over Britain and France's colonies in the Far East. Now we only have one external channel left." Lu Yuhua said, pointing to Myanmar.

"Once this place is occupied, we will completely lose our communication channels with the outside world. Weapons and ammunition from the outside world will not be able to get in. Then we will be trapped to death."

"By then, I'm afraid we will have to send troops to fight outside the region."

The reason for holding this meeting is to let them be mentally prepared. Otherwise, if it really comes to that, and he talks about the strategy of moving south, they will definitely feel resistance.

But now that he has this vaccination, I believe these people will not be so resistant when he proposes to go south again.

"And the country that borders us is Annam. Maybe at that time we will have to send troops to Annam, eliminate the Japanese troops in Annam first, and open up external communication channels." Lu Yuhua said with a smile.

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and finally understood why they were called over.

Originally, they were still curious about why they were asked to analyze the situation in Europe.

After all, it's too far away from us.

It was not until now that I understood that this was to pave the way for future movement south.

"Okay, the situation in Europe has come to an end. It will take another month to decide the outcome there. During this month, the Japanese army will not stop their offensive pace, so we must also speed up our offensive." Lu Yuhua said seriously.

"Long Wenjian, what you need to do next is to test the Japanese troops in Wuzhou. I don't care how you fight them, but I have one request: if you can take Wuzhou, that would be the best. If you can't, at least you have to kill as many Japanese as possible."

"Yes, President." Long Wenjian responded.

"Brother Weiguo, your unit's mission is to attack eastward along Zhanjiang and Maoming." After saying that, Lu Yuhua looked at Zhou Weiguo standing aside.

"I understand." Zhou Weiguo nodded, but then expressed his concerns.

"Boss, what about weapons and ammunition?"

"Don't worry, don't worry about the weapons and ammunition, just keep eating and make them for me." Lu Yuhua knew what he was worried about. It was that now that the channels to the outside world were blocked, whether the German arms could still arrive on time.

If they don't have enough munitions, there's really no need for them to launch an attack. They can consider attacking after accumulating strength.

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo suddenly felt much more relaxed. As long as there were enough weapons and ammunition, he would be able to give Lu Yuhua a surprise when the time came.

After Zhou Weiguo and Long Wenjian left, Chen Feng was the only one left there, feeling a little at a loss.

"Boss, what about me?" Finally, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua chuckled.

"I was wondering when you would speak. How was your training? How was it? Was the intensity acceptable to you?"

"It's okay. The instructor is very capable and everyone is convinced." Chen Feng said quickly.

How can I not accept it?

That was a high-level troop type that he had exchanged for with a lot of merit.

If he can't deal with these troublemakers, how can he lead the troops?
"That's good. I plan to form a marine corps and you will be the commander. Do you have confidence?" Lu Yuhua was quite optimistic about Chen Feng.

Although Li Dabenshi has higher prestige, his military command ability is limited.

He can recognize less than a hundred words and can't even read telegrams. It's not realistic to let him be the commander.

"Ah?" Chen Feng was completely stunned. Although he had thought that he would be entrusted with an important task, he did not expect that he would receive such a big surprise.

"What? You don't want to?" Lu Yuhua asked back.

"No, I just think Li Da is more suitable." Chen Feng said stiffly.

"What's Li Da's ability? What abilities does he have? I've seen your training performance, and his results are not outstanding." Lu Yuhua said lightly.
