Chapter 670 Preparation before the war
Chapter 670 Preparation before the war
Lao Tudou's eight regiments began to be stationed in the northern part of Outer Mongolia and the northwestern border, with three military fortresses for defense.
Ye Feng also solved the problem of material shortage.
A large number of tanks, heavy artillery, machine guns, as well as a large number of artillery shells and bullets that were snatched back from the Northern Bear Country were basically all retained.
After all, not far to the north from here is the territory of the Northern Bear Country. Now the two superpowers are hostile to each other, and war may break out at any time.
After handing over all matters, Ye Feng, who was leading the two divisions fighting in Outer Mongolia, began to march south.
The 50,000 newly recruited soldiers were naturally handed over to General Potato for reorganization and training.
Before saying goodbye.
Old Potato lowered his voice and said, "Comrade Ye Feng, according to Mr. Ye's grand strategy, I think he will use troops against Formosa this time."
Ye Feng frowned and asked, "Shouldn't we resolve the war south of the Yangtze River first?"
General Potato said, "Under your command, we can threaten the Japanese mainland, so that after Japan is defeated, we can take the initiative in dealing with the defeat."
Ye Feng said, "Although the navy we established in Shanghai is not strong enough, it won't be difficult with me taking action."
Japan is now in a completely desperate situation. Facing the powerful navy of the Ugly Country in the Pacific Ocean, most of its troops are fighting with the Ugly Country for the control of every island.
As for the Japanese mainland, it is said that every once in a while, shells from American fighter planes would fall on the cities.
In addition, in southern China, the Japanese still had more than 200,000 troops, who had to face the Yamashiro army, which was completely bloodthirsty, and the military threat from the underground party troops, and were struggling all the time.
How many troops are stationed on that island?
"General Potato, this is a manuscript I wrote recently. I hope it can help you defend Outer Mongolia." Ye Feng handed over a notebook and said, "It's called "Focus on Northern National Defense". I hope that after you finish reading it, you can have time to send the manuscript back to Yan'an so that those who oppose me can take a good look at it."
This manuscript.
It was a paper article that Ye Feng came up with when he was free and recalling his past life.
The article begins:
What will be the key issues in China’s national defense in the future?
To the south and southwest, there are threats from the Monkey Kingdom and the Elephant Kingdom, but the strength of these two countries is average. Facing the militarily stronger Shenzhou, even if there is a conflict between the two sides, it will only be a local war and will not affect the war situation. Even if a fight breaks out, Shenzhou can suppress the opponent 100% and win the war.
In the eastern waters, the main threat comes from the Ugly Country. This problem can be reversed after Shenzhou forms a large-scale navy.
Even if the U.S. navy is powerful, it cannot threaten our land security.
At this moment.
The main threats to our territory come from two places: the north and the northwest.
Because in both places we have a threat from the north, where there is an absolutely powerful military power.
No matter how good our relationship is with this neighbor now?
Who can guarantee it?
In the face of national and ethnic interests, won't this giant neighbor to the north start a war?
The international situation is ever-changing, and a friend one moment may become an enemy the next.
As the military commander of Shenzhou, we must plan ahead and prepare for the defensive offensive in advance to deal with the war crisis that may arise at any time.
Ye Feng wrote in the manuscript that at present, the industrial base of our Shenzhou is almost zero, and we are unable to produce large-scale armored tank groups, nor can we deploy more threatening flying squadrons.
Our greatest advantage is that we have a strong land force.
When defending against enemy threats from the north and northwest, the first step can be to deploy defenses in fortresses with dangerous terrain, strive to launch the first wave of sniper battles, delay time, and buy time for subsequent troops to assemble.
Even if the first line of defense is breached, we have enough time to react.
By then, the second wave of blocking battles will be on the vast grassland plains. Here, we will face the enemy's armored tank groups and will not be able to gain any advantage. We can directly abandon the second front.
Then, defensive fortifications were immediately deployed in the mountains with complex terrain outside the grassland, and troops were dispatched to infiltrate the enemy from behind to attack the enemy's attack line and destroy the enemy's supplies.
The enemy is fighting on a long-distance raid. If they cannot solve the problem of material supply, the scales of war will tilt towards us.
In the follow-up of the manuscript, Ye Feng also listed in detail some war strategies against the major military powers in the north.
After flipping through it, General Potato laughed heartily and said with appreciation, "Comrade Ye Feng, it's well written. Whenever a military power emerges next to our territory, no matter how good the relationship is, in the face of national and ethnic interests, this relationship is as fragile as paper."
"I believe that once this article is published, many people who are trying to provoke a war between you and the Northern Bear Nation will immediately shut up."
This is also the result that Ye Feng hopes to achieve.
A northern neighbor, an extremely powerful military power, is always a huge threat to China.
Many people see this clearly, and basically have no objection to turning against the Northern Bear Country and weakening its power.
After saying goodbye, Ye Feng led the team across the Outer Mongolian grasslands and returned towards Inner Mongolia.
At this time in Inner Mongolia, the 12th Army actually had two divisions stationed. These two divisions were reinforced full-strength divisions, each with 50,000 people, a total of 100,000 troops. During this period, they had been training.
After the reunion, Ye Feng discovered that when he was fighting deep in Outer Mongolia, another division had been added here.
A total of 150,000 troops, plus two divisions returning from outside.
At this time, the 12th Army had an astonishing strength of 200,000 troops.
"No wonder some people in Yan'an have a problem with me. If I were you, I would also be wary of a general who commands a large army!"
The war between the three northeastern provinces and Outer Mongolia has ended, according to the telegram instructions from Yan'an.
After three days of rest, an army of 200,000 marched through Hebei and into the Central Plains.
The situation in China at this time is already very clear.
The underground party forces are the only ones in power.
Commander Ye's Fourth Army, with seven divisions and 200,000 people, was stationed in Anhui and Jiangsu.
General Ximi's 13th Army is stationed on the border of central and northwestern Hubei, and can move south at any time to threaten Wuhan.
Half a month later, the 12th Army led by Ye Feng crossed the Central Plains, arrived in the northeastern part of Hubei, and also stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
More than half a million troops are eyeing China covetously and are ready to launch an attack at any time to unify China in one fell swoop.
At this time, Ye Feng also left the main force and, without making any loud announcement, secretly entered Shanghai with a guard company.
After arriving, we did not go to the office building in Shanghai city, but went directly to a military port terminal with strict military level.
In order to conceal his whereabouts, Ye Feng stayed in the car the entire time and did not show up.
The soldiers guarding the port did not know it was Ye Feng and thought he was a senior commander of some army.
Navy Regiment Commander Xiao Jiguang hurried into a conference room. When he saw the person sitting inside was Commander Ye Feng, he saluted quickly.
"All right!"
Ye Feng sat there, flipping through some information about the navy, and said, "Captain Xiao, tell me, how many people are there in our navy in Shanghai now? How about the artillery? How many warships are there?"
Xiao Jiguang quickly replied, "Reporting to the commander, our navy has been expanded twice and now has 12,000 people, divided into four regiments. I am now the acting division commander."
"We have eleven warships in front of us, including five cruisers, four frigates, and two destroyers... In addition, there is a damaged aircraft carrier, which was captured by the 12th Army during the attack on Dalian during the recovery of Northeast China. It was later pulled to this port and basically repaired in front of the gate. The number of fighter planes we can take off from the aircraft carrier is a little small, only eight."
Ye Feng's eyes lit up. We in Shenzhou now have aircraft carriers that can go to sea?
No matter who owned it before, as long as it is under our control, it belongs to us.
Ye Feng was very confident that if he was given time and used the system's military technology to transform it, it would not be long before this aircraft carrier, which he had captured with great difficulty, would definitely shock the whole world.
"Do you have any information about the Japanese troops, weapons, etc. on the island?" Ye Feng asked.
what?
Xiao Jiguang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, I'll have someone bring the top-secret information over right away."
Xiao Jiguang ran out in a hurry, his steps were much lighter. As the first regiment commander and the first acting division commander of the Shenzhou Navy, he had been staying in Shanghai since last year, in charge of the establishment of the new navy.
Seeing his former comrades in the army recovering the country and finally Outer Mongolia, and constantly going on expeditions to the east and the west, he expressed jealousy.
Now the commander has secretly returned to Shanghai and asked about the situation in Taiwan. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be planning to mobilize the navy to conduct sea landing operations and start a battle.
Xiao Jiguang has been waiting for this day for a long, long time!
