Glorious Mission 1937

The national government won the great victory in Changsha, of course Chen Feng was very happy.During this period, the strength of the Japanese army in the Northeast and North China has once again increased. According to reliable intelligence, in just half a month, the Japanese army has transferred 4 new divisions from the country to supplement the Kwantung Army's battle order. The North China Front Army added new recruits to 18 infantry brigades. In addition, the puppet Manchukuo carried out large-scale conscription on a "national" scale for the third time. More.

The national government's victory in central China can be said to have greatly slowed down the speed of the Japanese army's increase of troops to North China, which is very beneficial to Chen Feng's next plan.

However, the news of the Japanese army's capture of Singapore made Chen Feng's pretty mood suddenly turn ugly.To be honest, Chen Feng has never paid much attention to the British Army. Facts have proved that the so-called elites of the British Empire are just a group of rabble. The Japanese army, the two are not comparable at all.

Therefore, the British's failure was already expected by Chen Feng, but Chen Feng never thought that the British would be so cowardly, defending Singapore with nearly 20 troops, and they were completely wiped out by the Japanese army in just ten days. It's really useless. Compared with the National Government's 70 yuan guarding Shanghai for 3 months, it is really a miracle.

Chen Feng didn't care about the life and death of the British at all, but after the fall of Singapore, there were only two options before the Japanese, one was to attack Burma.Then use Myanmar as a springboard to attack Southwest China, or take advantage of the trend to take India.The second is to attack Australia and directly win the Australian mainland.

If it is to attack Burma, is it okay? If the Japanese army chooses to attack Australia, then the problem will be serious, because Chen Feng's Nanyang territory is sandwiched between Singapore and Australia. Those who will let the Nanyang Territory exist alone are likely to take the Nanyang Territory before attacking Australia.This had a great impact on Chen Feng's strategic plan to regain the Northeast.

September 9.Chen Feng personally called the Nanyang Military Region, ordering them to immediately sound the first-level combat alarm, and all military and government officials canceled their vacations and returned to their jobs.All troops are in combat state.Weapons and ammunition must also be immediately distributed to various units.The navy and air force were all mobilized to prevent surprise attacks by the Japanese navy. Radar soldiers monitored the surrounding waters and airspace around the Nanyang Territory around the clock.

After doing these deployments.Chen Feng believed that it was necessary to launch a fatal blow to the Kwantung Army in advance. This time, Chen Feng had already decided to capture the Northeast region at all costs, wipe out the largest strategic group of the Japanese army in the world in the Northeast, and quickly complete his sacred and glorious mission. .

On September 9, a meeting of the top commanders of the Eighth Theater Command and various arms was held at the headquarters of the Guisui Theater Command.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Feng reported the development of the world situation in the past two months, and then reported the brilliant achievements of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. Regarding the performance of the Japanese in Southeast Asia, Chen Feng did not intentionally exaggerate or belittle it. Seeking truth from facts, I will talk about the achievements of the Japanese army.

"...Gentlemen, now that the Japanese have won a decisive victory in the Southeast Asian battlefield, they will attack in two directions, one is to attack Burma, and the other is to attack our Nanyang Territory. Attack the Japanese Kwantung Army before taking action!" Chen Feng said loudly.

"Commander, do you mean that we quickly send troops to the northeast to contain the Japanese army in the northeast, but they can't deploy troops to reinforce Southeast Asia?" Shi Jianfei said.

"Yes and no! Attacking the Kwantung Army and recovering the Great Northeast is our established battle plan. No matter what the Japanese army does, we will carry out this plan. It's just that the powerful offensive of the Japanese army has knocked down the British and American troops in Southeast Asia. Whether it's for ourselves or for the British and American troops, we must make some gestures to divert the Japanese's target." Chen Feng said.

"Commander, if the Japanese army is attacking the Nanyang Territory, it is indeed necessary for us to launch an attack on the Kwantung Army at this time. But if the Japanese army chooses to attack Burma, then there is no need for us to launch an attack in such a hurry, after all, our recruits have not yet After completing the training camp, it is extremely risky for the theater to hand over all the rear areas to these recruits rashly, and once the Japanese special forces infiltrate, the threat to the theater is not small!"

Then Li Wensheng said: "In addition, our ammunition storage has not yet reached the predetermined amount, and can only last for less than three months of combat. Even if the amount produced during the war is counted, it can last for up to four months. In other words, If we cannot destroy or defeat the Kwantung Army in four months, then we will be in danger. According to the assessment made by the staff, if we can postpone the offensive by one month, our ammunition reserves will reach half a year, and by The battle plan can be adjusted at any time at any time, and the risk will be much smaller!"

Chen Feng looked at all the officers in the conference room, and saw that all the officers had the same meaning, and they all thought it would be safer to delay the attack.

From their point of view, the problem is indeed like this. That's right, the troops are now equipped with new equipment. Although the new equipment is powerful, it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it consumes too much ammunition.Compared with the previous Mauser rifle, the ammunition consumption of the AK assault rifle is about 5 times that of the former. With the current logistics transportation capacity of the troops, it can carry ammunition for up to 4 days at a time.

Transportation is not a problem. There are helicopters and large transport planes. Ammunition transportation is no problem, but the production of ammunition cannot keep up with consumption.According to the statistics of the logistics department, for bullets alone, all arsenals in the theater must produce 24 hours a day to meet the consumption of all troops for a day. Moreover, it is impossible to achieve 1 hours of non-stop production, which can reach 1 Hours are pretty good.

If this gun is out of ammunition, it is really not as good as a fire stick. It is conceivable that if the Japanese army cannot be completely defeated after fighting for several months, then it will be the Japanese's turn to fight back. The entire Eighth War Zone is in danger.

However, Chen Feng knew that even if the Japanese army turned to attack Burma, China would not be able to stay out of it. China would definitely participate in the war, and this battle was still a tragedy for China, so he had reasons to fight.

"Although what you said is reasonable, there are some things we have to do. Even if the Japanese army does not attack the Nanyang Territory, even if they point their guns at Burma, can we stay out of it?"

Then Chen Feng continued: "Not long ago, China and Britain signed the "Sino-British Joint Defense Agreement on the Burma Road" in Chongqing, and the Sino-British military alliance was formed. You have all seen the virtues of the British army, a group of mobs, it is simply unbearable This is especially true for the British army in Burma. In addition, they are shameless invaders and colonists in the eyes of the locals, and they are not welcome at all. Once the Japanese army comes, I can guarantee that these British They escaped faster than rabbits. The British ran away, but we couldn’t, because Myanmar is close to Yunnan. Once the Japanese army enters the southwestern hinterland, do you think China still has the capital to fight?”

Chen Feng's words surprised all the military officers in the conference room. They were all generals who commanded tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops. Although few of them had received formal military education, their strategic vision was not low. How could they not know the truth of the front line, they just didn't think about it before.

After being reminded by Chen Feng, everyone was taken aback. Thinking about it, this is indeed the case. If the Japanese army really attacked the Nationalist government from the southwest and central China at the same time, the pressure China would face would not be so great.A small 11th Army forced the national government to almost reveal its family background. At this time, the morale of the Japanese army's southern army was booming. With the might of defeating the American and British troops, the national government was in danger.

"Commander, even if our army launches an offensive in the northeast, it will be difficult to achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have too much influence on the Japanese army in the southwest!" Shi Jianfei said with a frown.

Chen Feng said: "Once the Japanese army shows signs of attacking Burma, the British will ask the old man for help. At that time, whether the old man wants to or not, he must send troops into Burma to fight. But I am not optimistic about the prospect of entering Burma to fight, so we must Launch an attack on the Kwantung Army before the Japanese attack, and at the same time win, at least to make the Kwantung Army feel the pain. We just want to force the Japanese army to send troops from Southeast Asia to help the Kwantung Army. Disrupt the Japanese army's battle plan."

"Then what if the Japanese army doesn't come back from the Southeast Asian battlefield? Could it be that they are allowed to invade the Southwest?" Li Yifeng asked loudly.

"It doesn't matter if we don't return aid, then we will directly eat up the Kwantung Army, and then take advantage of the trend to take down the Korean Peninsula, and finally concentrate our army of more than 200 million troops to sweep the entire Chinese battlefield. Without the cooperation of the Japanese army in Central China and South China , even if the Japanese southern army captures the whole of Yunnan, so what?" Chen Feng sneered.

In addition, Chen Feng still has some things to say. As a future military officer who came through the soul, although he sympathizes with the experience of the expeditionary army, especially the experience of Dai Anlan and his 200th Division forcing them to leave Savage Mountain, Chen Feng also knows The Chinese Expeditionary Force did not fail because of the failure of one battle. After the failure of the first battle in Burma, there was a second battle in Burma soon, and finally all the Japanese troops were driven out of Burma. During the three-year war , the Japanese army has never been able to go deep into the hinterland of southwest China. (To be continued..)
