Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's good that they went to Nanjing."

Shen Wanqing asked, "What's so good about going to Nanjing?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I was still thinking about it outside Jinan City today. With Jinan's example, the Qing court will definitely use the same method in the future: stick to the city, and then let us fight. It is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and it will take a very long time. This kind of play is definitely not good! So I thought: should I change my thinking and adopt a better play? The Qing court went to Nanjing , just gave me inspiration."

Shen Wanqing was confused and asked, "Is there any relationship between the Qing court's going to Nanjing and your change of style of play?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it has something to do with it!" After speaking, he took Shen Wanqing's hand and walked to the front of the map, and said, "Look, this is the Huaihe River and this is the Yangtze River. The defense line deployed by the Qing army relied on these two and Nanjing is behind these two lines of defense. The defense line of the Qing court is to prevent me from attacking from north to south. Do the two lines of defense still work?"

Shen Wanqing said in surprise: "If we successfully capture Nanjing, then more than half of China will be liberated!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Not only half of it, but all of it! Historically, the confrontation between the North and the South has always used the Yangtze River as a barrier. If the southern regime loses the Yangtze River, the only terrain barriers left are the hills of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi. The two hills are not enough to defend against attacks, so where else can the Qing court go? Only Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest are left. These two places are far away from the core of the ruling. If the center of a regime comes here, it will become a safe place. sooner or later perish."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"

Shen Wanqing said coquettishly: "Even if I don't know as many things as you, it's not so much that I don't understand the words!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go to the special headquarters and hold a video conference."

Shen Wanqing snorted and said, "Isn't it just to meet the people on the Beijing ship? Why can't you take me with you? It's like I'm not on the Beijing ship!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "We are going to talk about military affairs, don't you like to hear it?"

Shen Wanqing frowned, and said softly, "I want to listen today!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then you can come too, by the way, call Fade Chen too."

Shen Wanqing then went to call Chen Fei, and then they went to the special headquarters together. On the way, Chen Fei said to Lin Yuan: "Last time I led people to take down the Yellow River Bridge and guard the Yellow River embankment. You haven't given me such a great credit." What about power-up awards, what are you going to take me to do now?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's a very important thing! Let me tell you, we have a big move this time!"

Fade Chen hurriedly asked, "What big move?"

Lin Yuan chuckled, wanting to make a fool of himself, just said "you guessed it" and Shen Wanqing said aside: "We are going to attack Nanjing directly from the mouth of the Yangtze River!"

Fade Chen said in surprise: "This method is crazy. In this way, we will fight in the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at the same time. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I know it's a big taboo for military strategists, but I'm sure of victory!"

Fade Chen asked in surprise: "The certainty of victory? Why do you say that?"

Lin Yuan handed the document in front of Fade Chen, and said with a smile: "Look at this, the Qing army's defense plan for the Huaihe River, in which Zhang Zhidong moved north from Hubei to Henan, defended Nanyang and Xiangyang, and covered Huaixi with its wings; The troops put Huainan and Hefei on their backs to protect Huainan; Yuan Shikai and his old troops retreated to Xuzhou and Linyi to consolidate Huaibei, have you seen anything?"

Chen Fei looked at the document and thought for a long time, and finally said thoughtfully: "I see some tricks!"

Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "What kind of way? Tell me."

Fade Chen pointed to the place name "Xiangyang" and said, "Xiangyang? Is it the place guarded by the hero Guo Jing?"

Both Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing laughed, and Lin Yuan finished laughing and said: "This Xiangyang is indeed the Xiangyang guarded by Guo Daxia, and it is the main battlefield of the Song-Yuan War. Once Xiangyang is lost, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be lost, but I think That’s not what I’m talking about, look at the people above, Zhang Zhidong, Xu Yingkui, Yuan Shikai, these are the only people who can fight in the Qing court. What about the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

Fade Chen suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that this is the case, so the Qing army's defenses along the Yangtze River are very lax, and we can drive straight in?"

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, that's exactly the case, and not only that, because of the usual work of Zhang's Industrial Company and the Northeast People's Bank, we have a very good mass base in Jiangsu, which also provides a lot of convenience for our military operations. "The three of them came to the special headquarters while talking. When the video was connected, Han Mingguang appeared on the screen and said to Lin Yuan: "We are now in Zhongnanhai."

Lin Yuan said: "When did you settle in? That's great!"

Han Mingguang smiled and said: "It has been stationed a long time ago, and now everything is fine in Beijing, just waiting for you to liberate the whole of China!"

Lin Yuan said: "I have a brand new plan to attack Nanjing directly..." Lin Yuan explained his thoughts to Han Mingguang, and Han Mingguang said: "Very well, Comrade Chen Fei's sixth division has been organized An amphibious combat brigade equipped with our newly developed amphibious combat vehicles, although the firepower is not very strong, it is more than enough to fight the Qing court."

Fade Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard it: "The amphibious combat vehicle is finally equipped! What about the amphibious landing ship? Is it also available?"

Han Mingguang said: "Of course! These equipments have been developed since we took down Petropavlovsk, and now they are finally produced."

Fade Chen said: "With amphibious landing ships and amphibious combat vehicles, it will be more sure to attack the Qing army."

Han Mingguang said: "I will prepare the logistics supplies and other things now, and you will be responsible for formulating the offensive route and detailed action plan."

Lin Yuan said: "Well, I will return to the Beijing ship in a few days."

After the two sides finished the video call, Lin Yuan discussed with Chen Fei the marching route. Lin Yuan unfolded a map near the mouth of the Yangtze River and said: "Although Jiangsu faces the East China Sea, there are not many places suitable for landing. Starting from Lianyungang, we have been going all the way. To the south, the Yangtze River estuary is full of sediment accumulation, the water is very shallow, and large ships cannot get in, so if we want to go ashore, we have to go to the Yangtze River estuary.”

"At the mouth of the Yangtze River, there is an island formed by alluvial sediment called Chongming Island. The area of ​​this island reaches more than 1000 square kilometers. The first step of our attack is to land on the east end of this island and then occupy the whole country. Island, use this as a base for our advance."

"After the capture of Chongming Island, our troops should not go ashore, but give full play to the advantages of our warships, and go directly up the Yangtze River to take Nanjing! On the line from Chongming Island to Nanjing, there are two relatively large defensive fortresses of the Qing army. One is Jiangyin, one is Zhenjiang, in the process of our capture of Nanjing, fierce battles are bound to take place between these two places."
