Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone
Chapter 60: Insufficient troops, first airborne operation
Qidong's fleet was completely wiped out, and the Navy Combined Fleet held its breath and even lowered its head to cooperate with the Army Aviation, asking them to prepare to send fighter jets during the day to cover their fleet's return.
But I didn't expect that the plan would turn out to be worse than the change.
Large-caliber coastal defense artillery was deployed around Donglai City.
According to the descriptions of the crew members, some said it was a cannon with a caliber of at least 500 mm, and some said it was to mm.
But what is certain is that the power of this coastal defense cannon is at least 500 mm.
Moreover, the range of these coastal defense cannons is extremely long, reaching at least 50 kilometers.
The caliber is above 500 mm and the range is above 50 kilometers.
When these two numbers are combined, it's pretty terrifying.
Take the current Fuso country for example. They can only be regarded as a second-rate industrial country, but they are a major warship manufacturing country and have the world's first-class warship manufacturing capabilities.
However, their largest caliber naval gun is only 410 mm and is installed on the Nagato-class battleship.
This is basically the limit of their current artillery manufacturing technology.
As for the 460mm naval gun installed on the Yamato Hotel, it was also difficult to manufacture.
Therefore, in terms of artillery manufacturing technology, both the army and the navy are second-rate.
They currently do not have the capability or technology to manufacture guns with a caliber of 500 mm or more and a long barrel.
This technology is only mastered by top powers such as Hans, John, the United States, and France.
Therefore, the appearance of these coastal defense cannons caused a great shock to the whole of Fuso.
During these few days, the navy sank two battleships, one battlecruiser, four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, and eleven destroyers.
This loss was undoubtedly huge for the Combined Fleet.
Building a warship not only requires huge amounts of money and manpower, but also takes time.
Emperor Tamashi himself was enraged by such a huge loss.
Now it happened again, and the Combined Fleet acted on its own initiative, which made Emperor Tamehito furious.
The current commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Yoshiyama Takahashi, resigned and was handed over to a military court for trial.
Vice Admiral Shigemi Yamamoto, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet and the biggest advocate of the battleship faction, took over as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet.
These two failures also had a great impact on the Fuso Navy.
Among them, the Fuso Navy paid special attention to air defense.
Research new anti-aircraft guns and modify existing warships to strengthen your fleet's anti-aircraft firepower.
The Japanese are a nation that is good at summarizing. They have suffered a loss once in this regard, so naturally they will not suffer a loss a second time.
In addition, new fighter jets are being developed.
This time, the three-type carrier-based fighter jets of the Navy Air Force couldn't even shoot down the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft, and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier was completely useless.
Fortunately, it was not too close to the battlefield, otherwise the Fengxiang would have been killed as well.
Therefore, developing new high-performance fighter jets has become a consensus among the Army Aviation and the Navy Aviation.
However, the two sides have different development concepts and there is no possibility of cooperation.
The Spring City of Qidong Province.
Since Beijiang controls the railway between Tianjin and Quancheng, their reinforcements arrive in Quancheng continuously.
At present, more than five divisions of the Northern Frontier Army have gathered around Quancheng.
They built a defense line with a depth of more than 80 kilometers with Quancheng as the core.
This line of defense is also built along the Jiaoji Line, Mount Tai and Mount Lu. From this we can see that the level of the northern Xinjiang side is still quite high.
Lieutenant General Duan Yunfeng, Chief of Staff of the Northern Frontier Army's Army Department and a trusted general of Yuan Shicheng, served as the commander-in-chief of the Qidong war, leading more than 200,000 troops of the Northern Frontier Army to defend Quancheng.
The five divisions that have arrived so far are merely the vanguard.
From here we can also see the determination of the Northern Frontier Army to defend Quancheng.
The Second Legion of the Renaissance Army is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of manpower.
The Fifth Motorized Infantry Division of the Third Army of the Second Corps of the Fuxing Army was responsible for attacking Quancheng, with a total strength of about 20,000 people.
Even if the independent brigade-level units are included, the total strength is less than 25,000.
The total strength of the Northern Frontier Army reached 200,000.
The reason for today's situation is that Jiang Hua was a little too aggressive and scared Yuan Shicheng.
If he had been more low-key, how could Yuan Shicheng have easily given up on heading south?
Now they are negotiating peace with the Southern Alliance in order to concentrate their forces to defend Quancheng.
As long as Quancheng is defended, Zhili Province can rest assured.
"If I don't have enough troops, I'll just send more!"
Considering that the Second Legion is indeed a little weak now, Jiang Hua started a new round of military expansion after accumulating millions of funds.
He once again formed two new motorized infantry divisions, which could be formed in 8 days according to the current progress.
The two divisions are the 8th and 9th Motorized Infantry Divisions, both of which belong to the 3rd Army of the 2nd Corps.
In this way, the Third Army had four divisions and more than 80,000 troops.
Three divisions plus a heavy artillery brigade and a heavy tank brigade are enough to deal with the Northern Frontier Army in the direction of Quancheng.
In addition to the army, the air force is also increasing its troops.
Basically, apart from leaving 20 yuan for emergencies, the rest of the daily funds are all used to build up the army.
In Qidong Province, things became quiet because the three parties were quietly accumulating strength.
But all three parties knew that once they had accumulated enough troops and supplies, it would be time for a three-way melee.
Since he couldn't make any moves in Qidong Province, Jiang Hua was ready to make moves in Beire Province.
"According to intelligence gathered by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Air Force Intelligence Department, Fu Changqing has deployed nearly 30,000 troops in Yanbei Province.
Among them, two divisions with more than 20,000 people were deployed around the mountain road in front of Jingpeng County, and the remaining 10,000 people were used as reserve forces.
At the border between southern Beire Province and Yanbei Province, they joined forces with the Northern Frontier Army to deploy their defenses, connecting the two armies' defense zones."
After seeing the situation of the enemy and our side on the map, Jiang Hua also understood what was going on.
Obviously, Fu Changqing no longer has the courage to attack Beire Province, so both sides are focusing on defense.
The main passage from Beire Province to Yanbei Province is on the mountain road between Jingpeng County and Qihu County of Yanbei Province.
This is a mountain road that crosses the southern foot of Daxingling Mountains and is 7-9 meters wide throughout.
This road was also built by Guiyuan Army with great effort in order to conquer Beire Province. It is 107 kilometers long.
This highway is the key to defending Yanbei Province, so as long as this main passage is controlled, the troops on the Beire side will not be able to pass.
Fu Changqing's two divisions were guarding the Daxingling Highway, which could not be opened without some effort.
Jiang Hua looked at Ling Liang and asked, "How are you going to fight back?"
"Fly over!"
Ling Liang's answer was very brief, and Jiang Hua immediately understood what she meant.
Now the only unit he has that can fly over is the 1st Airborne Brigade, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people.
Ling Liang meant to dispatch the 1st Airborne Brigade to occupy Qihu County behind the Daxingling Highway and directly encircle the two divisions of the Jinyuan Army.
By working together, one in front and one behind, we can open up the road without much effort.
As long as the natural defense line of Daxingling is gone, Yanbei Province and Guiyuan Province will be in their pockets.
He could expand his territory by at least two provinces at once.
Since he has taken action this time, he will definitely not only take over Yanbei and Guiyuan provinces.
He also wants Jinyuan Province.
In this way, we can form a three-sided pincer attack on the northern border together with Qidong and Beire.
By that time, it will be the countdown for Northern Xinjiang.
As long as Yuan Shicheng is defeated, he firmly believes that the Fuxing Army can become the number one force in the world, complete the base upgrade task, and be promoted to a mid-level commander.
As long as the base can be upgraded, the strength of the Renaissance Army will once again undergo a qualitative change.
"Then mobilize the First Army, the First Airborne Brigade, and the First Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade for battle.
At the same time, the Independent 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade was expanded into the 10th Mechanized Infantry Division, which was placed under the command of the 1st Army."
As long as the Daxingling Highway is captured and opened up, the grassland terrain of Yanbei will be very suitable for the march of large-scale mechanized troops.
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the size of mechanized forces.
Fu Changqing has been feeling very heavy recently.
Jiang Hua's Fuxing Army rose so fast and so violently that no one expected it.
So now he only hopes to be able to defend the Daxingling mountain road. As long as he defends this place, Yanbei Province will be safe.
If we can't hold it, then we can only retreat to Jinyuan Province.
Relying on the mountainous terrain of Jinyuan Province, it is also possible to fight against the Fuxing Army.
Only by joining forces with the Northern Frontier Army can we keep ourselves safe.
But recently, the situation in Beire Province has been too calm, while the situation in Qidong Province has been very intense.
This made Fu Changqing even more uneasy.
To him, this was the calm before the storm.
So he has to contact Qihu County every day so that he can feel more at ease.
The same was true today, but after he received the latest news, his mood became even heavier.
"In recent days, Renaissance Army aircraft have appeared from time to time around Qihu County and along the mountain road, conducting aerial reconnaissance of our defense line. I think this is a prelude to the Renaissance Army's attack."
The commander in Qihu County was Sun Guangzhi, deputy commander of the 30th Army and Fu Changqing's most trusted general.
Faced with the reconnaissance planes of the Fuxing Army, they were completely helpless, so Sun Guangzhi could only watch.
"We must hold the mountain road. This line of defense cannot be lost. Do you understand?"
Fu Changqing said in a heavy tone.
"Please rest assured, Governor. We will make the mountain road a meat grinder for the Restoration Army."
Sun Guangzhi's confident answer made Fu Changqing feel a little more relaxed.
He is still very confident in Sun Guangzhi's abilities.
Sun Guangzhi is particularly famous for his defensive abilities.
With him around, we shouldn't get lost along the mountain road.
On February 2, the year of Renshen, the sky over Qihu County was cloudless, and it was another sunny day.
For the 1st Airborne Brigade, this was also the first day of their first battle.
Ever since the 1st Airborne Brigade was established, they have been looking forward to this day.
位于北热省西部地区的各军用机场当中,一架架C-47、C-54、CG-4突击型滑翔机、霍莎MK1式突击型滑翔机以及哈米卡尔MK1型重型滑翔机全部都已经做好了飞行的准备。
The world's first large-scale airborne operation is about to begin on the land of the ancient country.
