Vol 3 Chapter 376: Far East Attack (1)

Han Jingshan, Republic Dog Base Camp, April 22, 1946.
1 alcove?
In the large base camp's operational conference room, a special military conference on the Far East attack "Ironhoof Plan ..." is about to be held.
Since Zhang Shusheng's speech at the Qingming Festival commemoration event, the General Staff has already formulated the Far East General Offensive Plan ... Began to enter a refined revision period, a military plan that involves the front line to logistics, from a division to a whole aspect of the military, in This occupation has completed the refined modification and set up the preliminary framework. The next thing to do is to constantly fill in new things before the war begins.
The convening of this special military conference was the deployment of the base camp's overall Far East offensive in order to unify the overall situation. Zhang Shusheng made it clear that he would be present in person, and all military and political leaders would attend the military conference.
The General Office of the State Council [General] Zhou Guolai, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, Minister of Defense Cai Yan, Chief of the Special Forces Department of the Base Camp Luo Feng, Chief of Operations of the Base Camp Su Yu, Chief of Propaganda of the Base Camp Wei Sancai, and Deputy General Manager of Sun Shengxi Shulaixi.
The generals of the army are General Huo Weiguo, commander of the Far East Front, General Xu Shuzheng, deputy commander of the Siberian Front, General Zhang Zizhong, deputy commander of the Central Asian Front, and General Yang Hucheng, chief of staff of the Southeast Asian Front.
General Fan Siran, commander of the Air Force, General Deng Haogan, commander of the Navy, General Li Junming, commander of China's most elite Guard Corps and general political commissar of the Huaxia Military Academy.
There was no one in the solemn war room. The information to be read and the discussions to be done had been completed before the meeting. Although the iron hoof plan of the General Staff was only announced at this military meeting, everyone had a heart in mind. At the end, I know that the chairman is determined to solve the Far East problem this time, so as to end the current disadvantaged situation of the Republic, which is constrained everywhere.
"Code!"
Su Yuren raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already 9:29:30 in the morning and 30 seconds before the meeting. As usual, the chairperson was about to enter the meeting room, and he coughed. Can't help but tǐng straightened his waist.
"Chairman is here!"
Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came, and Zhang Shusheng walked in accompanied by Mao Yunlou, who had just been promoted to secretary general of the base camp.
"Stand up 1"
After the division, the military and political figures stood up neatly, saluting, and shouted loudly: "Chairman!"
"Sit down."
During his life, Zhang Shu didn't like meetings very much, especially this kind of high-level military meeting of a dozen people and 20 people. Generally, he likes to have things happen in a small conference room in the office of the head of state, using the mature military and political system of the Republic. He only needs to be in charge of the overall situation, but he still must attend every high-level military conference such as a major event.
Zhang Shusheng: "Just now, I received another report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Germans.
The Germans who just occupied Iran and captured more than 80,000 Allies proposed that attacking India's Baluchistan province would ease our pressure on Southeast Asia in exchange for our accelerated large-scale attack on the belly of the Soviet Union. Within five months to a year will be "liberated, the main region of the Soviet Union" in the night.
The Germans also promised to protect our interests in the Soviet Union, and in the post-war interest division ... several small duchyes could be established as safe areas to be placed between the European sphere of influence and the China-occupied area.
This is a very yòu condition, but we cannot accept it.
Once the Soviet Union has completely collapsed, and the British-American-led allies have not had time to open up a second battlefield, we will have full contact with the European Nazi Army on the entire World War II battlefield. There may be no problems within three years, five years, and ten years. How about it?
I want to talk about this issue before the meeting. I want to emphasize our army's WWII strategy, eliminate allies, weaken the Axis Nazi regiment, and seize the biggest victory of World War II. "
After a pause, Zhang Shusheng began to talk about the core spirit of the meeting.
"This combat meeting aims to coordinate the overall situation and do a good job in the preliminary work of the Ironhoof Plan.
The problem of the Far East has come to be solved, and a large amount of our army's strength has been contained in the Far East, so that plans in other directions have been affected to some extent.
Today the situation in World War II is basically clear. As long as we make up our minds, the Axis Powers can win the final victory. Well, now is the time for us to lay out ahead of time and the fruits of victory. The premise of the layout is to solve the Far East and free up troops and energy to open up a second battlefield.
Chief of the General Staff, can you briefly introduce the Ironhoof plan? "
"Yes, Chairman!"
Jiang Baili stood up and walked to the huge map, and simply said, "The original intention of the Ironhoof Plan was to trample the Far East's allies with thousands of ironhoops, to surround and destroy the Far East Theater at the most destructive speed Allied forces.
Excluding Japan ’s native forces, the total strength of the Allied forces in the Far East Theater is currently about 3.9 million. Among them, the strength of the Soviet Union is 1.5 million, 〖Japan〗 is 1.9 million, and the strength of the Americans is 500,000. When it comes to the total military strength, it is roughly equivalent to the total military strength of the Soviets within 300 kilometers of the border area when the Germans implemented the Pakirosa plan. However, once the war begins, 〖I〗 may increase the number of troops by a short period of time. This is not a small variable.
Although the total strength of the Allies is strong, there are also many problems.
The first is that the troops are relatively scattered. In order to clarify the responsibility system of the defense zone, the Allied Forces specifically requested that the US, Japan, and the Soviet Tripartite Corps each station on one side. Although they have solid fortifications to defend, these fortifications are not indestructible. In particular, there is a large gap in the middle of the Japanese-Soviet military cluster, which is one point we can take advantage of.
The second is backward equipment and serious shortage of supplies. Even with the full support of the Americans to supply the current Allied forces in the Far East Theater, even the troops of the Americans themselves are serious. . Lack of artillery, planes and shells, as well as [medicine] supplies are urgently needed for war. As the Soviets basically lost their in-situ production capacity, Japan continued to be bombarded by our strategy, and the military production index fell to the level of 30 years ago, which is completely unable to meet the needs of the huge Japanese army. In the worst cases, even some Americans have to transport the screws from their homeland to the Far East. These have severely weighed on the logistics of the Allies. Even with the American transportation capacity, the war in Britain, the Soviet Union, India, the Far East and other regions must be taken into account. I felt powerless during the resupply. The current transportation capacity can only basically meet the cost of daily battles with us.
The American army in the Far East has a popular saying that the American army in India has gum and cola, the Soviet Union and the British have canned Americans, and the Far East seems to be the closest to the United States, but it has been the loudest. "
The baton in the hands of Jiang Baili moved to the actual control area of ​​the Far East 〖China〗 state, and continued, "At present, our army has a total force of 2.5 million in the Far East Theater, including the forces in the Far East coastal area.
The coastal area borders North Korea and China. These troops are mainly responsible for alerting in the Japanese direction. The possibility of redeployment during wartime is small, so that our actual available troops in the Far East are 2 million.
To implement the iron hoof plan ... this force is obviously not enough. "
Having said that, Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng took the remarks and said, "The Chief of General Staff said that the total strength of the active military forces in our country is now more than 7 million, but they have been used in the Far East, Central Asia, Siberia, Southeast Asia, and home-grown areas. Already stretched.
At present, many countries in the world have completed plans to expand their troops by 10 million. The German-led Nazi Corps, the British Commonwealth Corps, the American American Corps, Japan, the Soviets, and their total strength have reached or far away. Far more than ten million.
The strength of various countries is strong. The Nazi regiment has approached the Indian border in the direction of India. The Soviet battlefield is still stuck but the Soviets have shown no support. If the Allies do not take any more action, they will fall into an irreparable situation. So we must Speed ​​up.
In order to complete the iron hoof diagnosis ... I will again sign a new expansion order, recruit some old officers and soldiers who have been transferred to the reserve to volunteer, and then transfer about 3 million reserve forces into active service to complete the goal of the standing army of 10 million.
Most of the newly formed troops will be used for garrison missions at home and abroad, liberating our original elite troops for use on the battlefield. "
Hearing that the chairman finally agreed to the third round of military expansion plans, everyone was overjoyed. Although the National Defense Army's weapons are getting more advanced, the official strength is always less than 7 million. If you want to grab the biggest battle on the increasingly clear World War II battlefield Cake, this force is obviously not enough.
In order to balance economic, military, people's livelihood and other issues, Zhang Shusheng has always asked for an orderly expansion, not a blind expansion. Today, the time is ripe.
Of course, Zhang Shusheng himself understands that if the state of China is only to guarantee the vested interests now, or to ensure the tranquility of the country, then 7 million troops will be enough.
In the original history, although many participating countries also reached a total strength of tens of millions, they are not as fierce as the current World War II, and they are millions of expansions.
It's not that these nations participating in the war have huge wealth and a large population, but they can't sustain it anymore, and everyone wants to defeat their opponents with the last punch.
However, the China 1 country is not as crazy as other countries, but instead follows the dual line of the top ten soldiers, transferring the remaining national power to social, economic, scientific and technological, educational, and cultural directions, combining war and development. , Step by step to grow China, unite China.
For example, the old-age pension system and medical insurance system that will be initially promoted have not been greatly affected by the war. Three years of mō, three years of promotion, and another three years. Ten years later, World War II may be over, but these two policies Can gradually get on track.
Zhang Shusheng: "I have talked with Zhou Zhuli about the issue of military expansion, which basically will not affect our current high-speed economic development. In this war, we are the only country with a loss that is far less than the gain. Compared to Our losses, Huo Qubing Province, Beihai Province, Southeast Asian provinces, and even the Far East, the land, resources, and even population of these areas are our biggest gains. Compared to these, our losses are negligible. .
Where are the losses in other countries?
The Soviets fought a war, and the entire Soviet Union ’s industrial areas and even cities were blown into ruins. The Germans were nowhere to go. The labor force was severely lacking, the domestic economic crisis was intensifying, the national economy was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the casualty rate was extremely high. Not to mention, a large-scale battle, the Soviets were captured and wounded by hundreds of thousands, and the Germans had to pay similar sacrifice. Now the British have been strengthened by the Americans, and the anti-bombing plan against Germany has gone smoothly. Hitler can only hide in the underground office, the tragedy of Berlin and other important European cities can be imagined. It is said that Britain and the United States still have to learn from our strategic bombing in Japan. The B29 strategic bomber is ready to be transferred to two or three aviation teams. What will happen in Germany and even Europe is worth looking forward to.
Such a war would not be possible without heavy losses, and we seem to be lucky, but we are fully prepared plus the location is excellent. "
Zhang Shusheng's words are quite correct. If China is placed in the present Europe, or if China is placed on the Soviet Union, it will also be a thin result. And what about the current China? There are no major powers in the surrounding area.
The Soviet Union and even India, where the Allied forces are heavily populated, pose no threat of land attack.
Zhang Shusheng motioned for Jiang Baili to continue.
"World War II has entered a fevered state. According to information, the Allies have been trying to open up a second battlefield to reverse the current unfavorable situation. Although we don't know exactly what the Allied plans are to reverse the situation, our iron hoof plan must be resolutely completed. , Ahead of them.
In order to míhuò the enemy as much as possible, the Ironhoof plan will use the recovery of North Korea as an offensive plan, in order to complete the reinforcement of forces, the allocation of materials and other operations. Of course, such a large-scale military transfer may eventually be seen by the enemy, but it can attract more Japanese divisions from North Korea, and the pressure in the Far East Theater will be less then ... "
Next, Jiang Baili introduced the forces to be used in the Far East General Offensive Theater in the Ironhoof plan.
It is estimated that the reinforcements will reach 2 million. This is currently the largest number of remaining forces that China can take out. If there is any additional reinforcement, only reserve forces can be put on the battlefield, and even a national mobilization order is issued. Already.
The total military force used in the Far East battlefield will reach 4 million, which is the figure of the Germans during the Blitz in the Soviet Union and Germany. However, the existing 2.5 million garrison in the Far East only needs to add 2 million troops.
In the Far East Theater, with 2.5 million people, in fact, the strength of 2 million people can still prevail in the face of the total strength of the 4 million people of the Allied Forces. Once the troop is increased to 400
Then, in terms of combat effectiveness, the National Defense Forces will have the absolute upper hand, and they have the foundation to start the theater-level battle and win the Far East in one fell swoop.
If the 2 million Huo Weiguo army is expected to complete, it is not responsible for the lives of the soldiers. On the contrary, having an absolute force will require the Far East at lightning speed.
Jiang Baili made a final conclusion, saying that "In the overall diagnosis plan, the Central Asian Theater and the Siberian Theater will play a role to contain the Soviets, and will block Americans from the Arctic Ocean in the reinforcement and supply of the Far East Alliance after the start of the battle. In addition, the armored forces of the Siberian Front will also receive temporary command from the Far East Front during roundabout operations.
On the Air Force side, since the forces in the Far East Theater and the Northeast Theater are already very strong, no large-scale reinforcements are needed. However, the bombing of Japan will increase in intensity from this month to ensure that Japan ’s war forces can be minimized when the battle is launched.
The navy has to go boldly. At present, the main force of the Japanese navy has been cruising up the sea to avoid our bombing of the port. Although it is very difficult to cut off or interfere with the maritime supply lines of the Allies due to geographical location, it should be found when necessary. Destroy part of the Japanese navy forces and win more maritime chips for subsequent wars. In addition, it is necessary to cut off the supply of Japan and Indonesia to the Southeast Asian battlefield and increase the allied battlefield supply burden. "
The entire plan ... is very large. Jiang Baili simply sketched out the blueprint of the plan, and it took more than an hour. There were many theaters and departments involved, and there were many points mentioned.
After all, this will be the largest offensive that the National Defense Forces will launch since China ’s participation in World War II, and its purpose is to completely defeat the allies in the theater with a total offensive. It is not a turning point in the Asian battlefield of World War II.
The Allies did not want to open the situation from the Far East to the Northeast, or even attacked the homeland of a country. However, Huo Weiguo commanded 2.5 million National Defense Forces in the Far East and blocked the Allies. Not only did they also cause great damage to the Allies every day. In small-scale battles throughout the theater, the losses of the Allied Forces ranged from hundreds to thousands, and even up to 10,000 people. How can the Allies launch a resolute total attack in such a loss scale? No offense, no retreat, and millions of allies have nowhere to retreat. Japan is the egg under the nest. Once China has completely resolved the Far East problem, the next goal is likely to be Japan. Such an extinct calamity is still lying on the upper half of the emperor Chuáng, and he has to dream a few times a year.
Finally, Zhang Shusheng made a concluding speech.
"Comrades, the importance of this battle is the largest war operation since the founding of our country ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Far East issue involves the overall situation, and the Far East is resolved, so we can have the energy to make more efforts in other directions fist.
The Far East issue involves not only us, but also North Korea, Japan, and even the whole situation of World War II.
We must tell Americans with actual war action that the Far East is not their life-saving straw, and Asia has no hope for them.
We want victory, but it is likely to help the Americans and the Allies.
why? After the defeat of Asia, they will use their brains to open up the second battlefield and concentrate on opening up. Do not let the army rub the mills on us. More than 20 million Nazi regiments are waiting for them to destroy them.
They are hesitant, and we will help them make up their minds. The final battle of World War II has not yet arrived, and we cannot let them focus on us.
Let me give you a thorough understanding. In this World War II, our country ’s footsteps will not only stay in Asia. The army must fight bravely. There are countless lands waiting for us to conquer and countless resources waiting for us to mine. Countless people are waiting for us to be captured, and our steps have just been taken out! !! "@.
