I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II
Page 654
Tracing back to the root, war is a continuation of politics, and soldiers are just tools for politicians to seek benefits. The tragic sacrifices of countless soldiers on the battlefield may be just a small additional condition for politicians to reach an agreement with the enemy at the negotiating table .
After all, what is the war for?It is for profit. As for things like ethnic conflicts and racial hatred, they are just disguises of interests.
Talking while fighting seems unbelievable, but in fact it is taken for granted.
As Mark Twain famously said, "Politicians are as shameless as prostitutes." Prostitutes only care about money, not the means of getting it. Politicians only care about benefits, not the means of getting them.
In the current "Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Pacific", China and the United States "cooperate in fighting, and fight in cooperation." China and Japan also fight in secret while fighting.
Just like the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Wu, and Shu, Wu and Shu originally fought side by side against Wei, but Wu would still join forces with Wei to seize Jingzhou belonging to Shu, and partner with Wei to eliminate Shu general Guan Yu, that's it.
In the original history, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union joined forces to defeat Germany. At the end of the war, British Prime Minister Churchill and the British high-level officials had already begun to formulate a plan: to go to war against the Soviet Union and destroy the Soviet Union. The German army rearmed and joined the British and American troops to fight the Soviet Union.
Why did the top British officials have such an incredible plan?Because Germany is the enemy of Britain, and so is the Soviet Union. In order to deal with Germany, Britain cooperated with the Soviet Union. Now that Germany has been defeated, it is only natural for Britain to deal with the Soviet Union next.
At the same time, Japan surrendered, the Soviet Union first divided the Korean Peninsula with the United States, and then wanted to share Japan with the United States, but the United States wanted to monopolize Japan. Fighting broke out on the Japanese mainland.
Why did the armies of the United States and the Soviet Union, who were fighting side by side just now, meet each other so soon?Because the United States and the Soviet Union were not friends, or even enemies, but joined forces to deal with the common enemy Japan (and Germany). Now that the common enemy has been defeated, it is natural for them to go to war with each other.
The relationship between countries is so intricate and unpredictable.
Even if the two belligerent countries are fighting in the dark, as long as they have common interests, they can immediately shake hands with each other and cooperate with each other with hands stained with each other's blood.
After learning and confirming that the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet is going to Hawaii to participate in the war and raid the US fleet, the Japanese high-level officials can be said to be elated, and then happily "give the green light" and even "vigorously cooperate" to the Chinese Navy fleet. With gongs and drums, the Chinese navy fleet was sent off.
At this time, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese soldiers are killing red eyes. They may never have dreamed that their own navy would start "close cooperation" with the opponent's navy to fight the US Navy together.
Chinese Navy General Base, Fuzhou.
In the conference room of the Naval Command, Jiang Weiguo was holding a top-level naval meeting with the "three masters" of the Chinese Navy, namely, Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Ge, Chief of Staff Chen Ce, and Commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy Xu Zushan.
In fact, Chen Shaokuan and others all know that the real owner of the Chinese navy is Jiang Weiguo, because almost all the existing warships of the Chinese navy are bought by Jiang Weiguo, and the Chinese navy has always been "raised" by Jiang Weiguo.
As we all know, maintaining the army requires a very large military expenditure. Chiang Kai-shek could not afford such a huge amount of funds, and Jiang Weiguo took it out of his own pocket.
Because of this, the Chinese navy is extremely grateful to Jiang Weiguo. From Chen Shaokuan to the grassroots officers and soldiers, they are all loyal to Jiang Weiguo.
"In the beginning, although I believed in the troops on Oahu, I was not particularly sure about the battle on Oahu. After all, the U.S. military has an overwhelming advantage in strength!" Jiang Weiguo said very frankly, "However, Oahu The brothers created a miracle. They won the battle and became a blockbuster. At present, the battle on Oahu Island has lasted for five days, and our army has the upper hand there, killing the American army with heavy casualties!" He looked at Chen Shaokuan and others, "If the battle is not good, Well, I don't support sending a fleet to help in the battle, because there is no need at all, but now that the battle is going smoothly, there is no reason for us not to strike while the iron is hot and make persistent efforts.
The Oahu war was nothing more than two results. One was that the U.S. military captured Oahu after paying a heavy price, and the other was that the U.S. military returned home after paying a heavy price.
Undoubtedly, the second outcome is most favorable to us.
Firstly, Oahu Island continues to be in our hands, becoming our biggest bargaining chip in strategically restricting the U.S. government and coercing the U.S. government at the negotiating table. , dare not despise us anymore, and will not reject some of our conditions.
You all know that dignity and status are all created by typing!"
Chen Shaokuan and the others nodded emphatically.
Chen Ce said: "Second son, are we really going to send our few aircraft carriers to Hawaii? No matter whether we win or lose in this battle, the fleet will be in danger.
I think it is better to fight the Japanese than to fight the Americans.
The Japanese are most afraid that we will attack their homeland, so we will feint and attack the Philippines or Indonesia, grabbing the Japanese territory before the U.S. military, and the end result is the same!"
Jiang Weiguo shook his head: "Chen Canzuo, it's not that I haven't thought about what you said. As you said, our Chinese navy has limited capital. After one or two battles, even if we win, it will be severely damaged.
We don't have much capital, so we must invest in the most cost-effective battle.
Whether it is fighting the Philippines or Indonesia, the fleet is destined to suffer heavy losses. Even if it is defeated, the Americans will rob us of Japan.
Remember, we all want Japan's mainland and Japan's overseas occupied areas!The Japanese are actually nothing. What we need most now is to restrain the Americans.
Japan is a big cake, what we have to do now is not to eat the cake, but to prevent the Americans from robbing us of the cake, anyway, that piece of cake is hard to fly!"
Chen Ce nodded: "Second Young Master has a long-term strategic vision, and we are far behind!"
Chen Shaokuan said: "Then, how many capital ships are we going to send to Hawaii?" His implication is very clear. Few of the warships going to Hawaii will be able to return smoothly. First, the surprise attack on the US military was unsuccessful. Second, even if the sneak attack on the U.S. military is successful, it will be intercepted head-on by the Japanese navy on the way back home. It can be said that "there are tigers before and wolves behind".
To put it bluntly, the warships sent to Hawaii are all "disposable consumables". However, if too few warships are sent, there will be no combat effectiveness, and if too many warships are sent, the losses will increase greatly.
Chen Shaokuan had to worry about gains and losses.
Jiang Weiguo thought for a while: "We now have 4 aircraft carriers, and we must send all of them. In the naval battles that break out across thousands of miles of oceans, the aircraft carrier is the absolute protagonist and main force.
The aircraft carrier is a long-range attack, and the battleship is a hand-to-hand combat. With the carrier-based aircraft fighting, the two fleets can separate the winner by hundreds of nautical miles. If the battleship is replaced as the main force, the two fleets must be closer to more than ten nautical miles to compete. High and low, can we play hand-to-hand combat at sea with the US fleet?Certainly not.
Furthermore, our strength is much weaker than that of the U.S. fleet. A surprise attack is our only hope of victory. A carrier-based aircraft can only launch a surprise attack hundreds of nautical miles away. Is an attack with naval guns and torpedoes within a dozen nautical miles considered a surprise attack?Therefore, all four aircraft carriers are dispatched. There is no need for battleships and battlecruisers to participate in the battle, and none of them will be dispatched. In addition to the aircraft carrier, several heavy cruisers, some light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines will be dispatched to assist the aircraft carrier in combat and protect the aircraft carrier. Transport ships and supply ships must also be dispatched, that's all!"
Ouyang Ge praised: "Although the second son has never studied naval warfare, he has a penetrating understanding of modern naval warfare, which is really admirable!"
Jiang Weiguo smiled helplessly: "Sir Ouyang, don't flatter me, what I'm talking about is just common sense!"
Chen Shaokuan nodded: "Then, we must reorganize our fleet. Battleships and battlecruisers are organized into the 1st Fleet, which is organized as a battle fleet, and aircraft carriers are organized into the 2nd Fleet, which is coordinated as an aircraft carrier fleet!"
Chen Ce added: "In addition to the four aircraft carriers, the other warships in the Second Fleet, cruisers, destroyers, transport ships, and supply ships must all be new, so that the speed can be the fastest.
If you bring a bunch of old warships, the entire fleet will be slowed down, how can you fight this sea raid? "
Chen Shaokuan spread out a chart of Hawaii: "In this battle, the enemy is strong and we are weak, but we also have many advantages. First, the US military never dreamed that we would dare to attack them. The Japanese successfully attacked Hawaii in the first place. The U.S. military was greatly caught off guard. Now, we are doing the same thing and repeating the same tricks. The Americans must have never imagined that we will attack Hawaii again. Therefore, as long as our fleet is strictly hidden, the U.S. military will definitely be beaten again. I was caught off guard, but the last time it was the Japanese who did it, this time it was us; second, if our naval fleet wants to enter the Pacific Ocean, it must pass through the Western Pacific island chain controlled by the Japanese (Japanese Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Philippines Islands, etc.), China and Japan are now at war, and the Americans also never dreamed that the Japanese would join hands with us, which gave us another opportunity to fight; third, on the ocean, the fleet confrontation is almost determined by the aircraft carrier Yes, at present, the U.S. military is attacking Oahu Island. Since our army on the island has a large number of land-based aircraft, the U.S. military must concentrate their aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers in the waters near Oahu Island in order to use the largest aviation force to compete for air supremacy. In this way, the U.S. military can dispatch the most carrier-based aircraft to participate in the Oahu battle. Then, almost all the U.S. aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers are under the nose of our army on Oahu. Our military aircraft and submarines on Oahu can Closely monitor the US aircraft carrier and escort aircraft carrier, and then continuously inform our aircraft carrier fleet of information. In this way, the US military is blind to our army, but our army is well aware of the US military! As long as our army can maintain and fully If we make full use of the above three advantages, the odds of this victory are still very high!"
Ouyang Ge thought: "How many carrier-based aircraft does our army have? How many carrier-based aircraft does the US military have?"
Jiang Weiguo said: "Nanjing (formerly USS Saratoga heavy aircraft carrier) can carry 88 carrier-based aircraft, Wuhan (formerly USS Enterprise medium-sized aircraft carrier) can carry 100 carrier-based aircraft, Beiping (formerly USS Enterprise) can carry 60 carrier-based aircraft, The medium-sized aircraft carrier Bearn of the French army) can carry 48 carrier-based aircraft, and the Xi'an (formerly the Ryujo light aircraft carrier of the Japanese army) can carry 296 carrier-based aircraft, a total of 13 carrier-based aircraft; Oahu has dispatched 2800 aircraft carriers and 2 or 8 escort aircraft carriers, carrying a total of about 2300 carrier-based aircraft. At present, the U.S. military has been sunk by our army on Oahu. The total number of aircraft has been reduced to 2400 to [-]!" (It should be noted that transport ships can also carry carrier-based aircraft to replenish aircraft carriers in battle, but this process is very time-consuming.
)
Ouyang Ge smiled bitterly: "Our army has less than [-] carrier-based aircraft, and the US military has [-] to [-] aircraft.
The U.S. military has a fraction of the number of aircraft more than our military!"
Chen Shaokuan said: "Don't forget, our army still has hundreds of aircraft on Oahu, which is equivalent to an aircraft carrier battle group, and it is an aircraft carrier battle group that will not sink!"
Jiang Weiguo said: "Our purpose is not to annihilate the U.S. military, but to inflict heavy damage on the U.S. military suddenly, and then we can retreat as soon as it is good.
Run away if you can't beat it! "
Chen Ce nodded: "That's right! Even if our aircraft carrier fleet fails to cause heavy damage to the US military, letting the US military know that our aircraft carrier fleet is haunting nearby will also make the US military nervous and feel like sitting on pins and needles. At the very least, it can effectively reinforce Wa Hudao our army.
In order to search and suppress our aircraft carrier fleet, the U.S. military must dispatch a large part of the aircraft carrier. In this way, wouldn't our army on Oahu be able to greatly reduce the air pressure?It can even dispatch land-based aircraft to counterattack the US military! "
Jiang Weiguo laughed: "That's right, that's exactly it!"
Chen Shaokuan concluded: "First of all, the U.S. military is powerful. If our army cannot make a surprise attack, we must give up the raid wisely, and then play hide-and-seek and guerrilla warfare with the U.S. military in the vast ocean, so as to contain the U.S. military and indirectly assist the defenders of Oahu Island. Therefore, you can’t head-to-head. If the situation is not good, you have to smear the soles of your feet. If you don’t fight, it will deter the U.S. military; secondly, what should the fleet do when it comes back? The Japanese will definitely wait in the Western Pacific!”
"This question..." Jiang Weiguo seemed to have a draft for a long time, and smiled, "Let's talk about it when the time comes! Take one step at a time!"
Ouyang Ge said worriedly: "We have been considering the worst case. What if it is the best case? For example, our army successfully raided the U.S. military and caused heavy losses to the U.S. military. Then, first, will the conflict between China and the United States happen?" Thoroughly intensified? Originally, we were considered "neither enemy nor friend" with the Americans. If we fought too hard, the Americans became angry and completely turned China into a belligerent country. What should we do then? Second, we beat the U.S. It was too miserable, wouldn't it weaken the US military's ability to fight the Japanese? The Japanese will be really happy. We helped them do what they dreamed of, and let them survive from desperation. At least they got a long respite Time, then wouldn’t it be even more difficult for us to counterattack the Japanese? Our move was really clever but was misunderstood by our cleverness!”
Jiang Weiguo nodded in approval: "What Chief Ouyang said is true! I also thought of these two points. In fact...hehe, the situation is not that serious!" He didn't answer Ouyangge's worries directly, but turned to look at Xu Zushan: "Xu Zushan Commander, when the Japanese army sneaked into Hawaii, you once went to Hawaii with the Japanese fleet, do you still remember the North Pacific route?"
Xu Zushan said: "Of course I haven't forgotten.
Don't worry, I will be able to bring the fleet to Hawaii safely!"
Chen Shaokuan said: "It's not our goal to bring it over, it's our goal to bring it over and win the battle!"
Xu Zushan said solemnly: "Complete the task with all my strength!"
Jiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange a guide for you!" He shouted to the door of the conference room, "Please come in!"
The door of the room was pushed open by a staff officer, and a middle-aged man with a square face, small eyes, half-bald head, and wearing the uniform of a Japanese rear admiral walked in. He looked at everyone present, and then gave Jiang Weiguo a blank expression. present.
Jiang Weiguo introduced to Chen Shaokuan and others with a smile: "This is the chief staff officer (equivalent to the deputy chief of staff) of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and General Yamamoto's right-hand man, General Kameto Kuroshima. Two and a half years ago, the Japanese army raided Hawaii. The battle plan was basically formulated by him, and it can be said that no one is more familiar with that route than him!"
Chen Shaokuan and others couldn't help but let out a little surprised sound, they didn't expect the Japanese to be so "enthusiastic".
Jiang Weiguo looked at Xu Zushan: "Mr. Xu, General Hei Dao will serve as the chief advisor of your fleet. You should understand what I mean. I hope that you will cooperate with each other!"
Xu Zushan looked at Heidao Guiren with a distrustful look, then nodded: "I see!"
The meeting ended and everyone left one after another.
Heidao Guiren stood still, until Jiang Weiguo passed by him, and then he said in a low voice: "Little General Jiang, can you say a few words?"
Jiang Weiguo looked at the turtle man on the black island: "Please tell me!"
Kuroshima Kameto looked at Jiang Weiguo with a very complicated look: "Commander Yamamoto asked me to ask you a question, why?"
Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette: "Why?"
"Why do you... betray us?" Heidao Turtleman's tone was extremely sad.
Jiang Weiguo squinted his eyes and looked at the Kuroshima Turtleman, and after a short pause, he replied: "Please tell General Yamamoto for me, my answer is eight words-the two countries are at war, and each is the master.
That's all!"
Heidao Turtleman nodded blankly.
In early April, the Chinese and American militaries were fighting fiercely on Oahu Island. At the same time, the Chinese navy also resolutely attacked.
Chapter 747 The Battle of the Peninsula (1)
On the south bank of the Yalu River, two Japanese troops were having a conversation:
"Look! There are many black spots on the horizon far to the north!"
"Ah? There are so many! From the east to the west, they are all! Why are there so many?"
"Is it the plane of the Chinese Army?"
"Impossible! It should be a flock of birds! How could the Chinese Army have so many planes! At least five thousand!"
Langlin Mountain in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
General Koiso Kunisaki, Governor of North Korea, and General Neiji Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of the Korean and Japanese Army, stood side by side on a peak in Langlin Mountain, looking up at the earth-shattering and overwhelming war scenes in the sky: airplanes, countless airplanes, countless The Chinese Air Force planes covered almost the entire sky in darkness, and the whole picture was truly overwhelming.
I saw the fleet extending from the northern sky like a cumulonimbus cloud made of steel to the south. Wherever it went, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the planes were densely packed, as dense as fish scales, and as many as locusts and bees. Converging into a shocking "mechanical sky net", it is as if the sky has covered the sky with a big net and a mat, the fleet of aircraft is billowing with wind and thunder, and the roar of countless aircraft engines is even louder, like a continuous thunderbolt The sky collapsed like thunder, and the hurricane-like sonic noise rolled across the sky and earth in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. What's more, there are extremely strong air waves like tsunami and mountain torrents. Countless aircraft spiral blades stir up countless vortices in the air like boiling water, forming gusts of wind that break through the sky, blowing the forest on the ground like the sea. At the same time, countless bombs fell from the sky one after another, the fleet was like clouds, the bombs were like rain, and the sound of countless bombs falling to the ground together was breathtaking and terrifying. Suddenly, the ground turned into a sea of flames. Countless bombs blasted countless fireballs on the ground, one after another, one after another, converging into a monstrous sea of flames. The ground shook and shattered wildly like a major earthquake, and it was like magma flowing horizontally after a volcanic eruption. It was churning, the black smoke was towering, the dust storm was like a dragon, converging into an endless black sea of dark clouds, lightning flashed and thundered among the black clouds, flames danced wildly, storms soared into the sky, and the ground was scorched everywhere and no grass grew.
The Chinese Air Force, second only to the United States and Germany, ranks third in the world's powerful aircraft fleet. It is like no one in the sky of the Korean Peninsula. It is rampant and invincible. It is doing its best to "carpet" the Japanese army with unprecedented intensity and intensity. big bombing".
"Your Excellency, two generals! Please get out of here immediately!" An adjutant rushed to the side of Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Neiji, "The China Air Force fleet is about to bomb here!"
Oiso Kuniaki and Okamura Neiji both turned a deaf ear to it. The two remained motionless and silent, staring blankly at the scene of the Chinese Air Force bombing the Japanese army indiscriminately. Both of them had extremely complicated emotions.
The earth, mountains, and forests... were all burning under the heavy bombing of the Chinese Air Force. The earth and forests turned into a sea of flames, and the mountains and rivers turned into torches.
Neiji Okamura pointed to a group of Chinese Air Force fleets that were bombing a forest-covered mountain in the distance: "Look, Your Excellency Governor, what are their planes throwing?"
Koiso Kuniaki looked hard: "Incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, and..."
"Gasoline barrels!" Neiji Okamura smiled wryly, "They mixed incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, and gasoline barrels to bomb us, and the burning effect is better.
Your Excellency, do you know what this means? "
Koiso Kuniaki felt confused and didn't know how to answer.
Neiji Okamura sighed: "It means that the gasoline of the Chinese... should be called oil, there is simply inexhaustible amount, so much that it can be used for war like this extravagantly and wastefully!" His tone was extremely bitter.
Xiaoiso Guozhao suddenly understood a cruel fact: at this time, China and Japan were at war again, and Japan's resources were tight, and strategic materials such as oil had to be used carefully. Combustion (bombs with the best burning effect are naturally incendiary bombs and napalm bombs. It is undoubtedly wasteful to use gasoline for war without processing, but the Chinese army has enough gasoline to do this at this time, and it is also To make up for the lack of Chinese military production of incendiary bombs and napalm).
China and Japan are fighting again, and the gap between the two sides in terms of national power, military power, and strength has been fully manifested.
