The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

It's no wonder that Zhu Bin dug too big a hole, and he invested enough capital to prevent the Japanese and American coalition forces from seeing any flaws for a while, and they drilled in again and again, hitting their heads badly.

He obviously didn't play enough. After the 12th Army wiped out the main force of the Japanese army, it continued to keep a five-kilometer beachhead to give the remnants of the Japanese army a chance to breathe. About the same level as the beginning.

The North Sea Fleet, which was driven away by the U.S. Air Force, has also wandered back. In addition to its own conventional ships, there are two more Kunlun-class battleships and two Yingzhou-class guided missile cruisers from the ocean-going fleet. Seven or eight more ships are attached. Rocket attack ship, guided missile destroyer!

Whether it is against the shore, against the air or against the sea, the overall attack power has more than doubled!Especially for air strikes, the original conservative approach has been directly converted to active defense. With the help of the three-dimensional air search radar system, the air defense radius has been directly extended to 100 kilometers away. Once the enemy is found, the naval aviation will immediately attack the Korean Peninsula. fight.

If the number of fighter planes coming is too large, use the ship to launch anti-air missiles and the "Iron Curtain" interception system to attack and destroy them. In short, they must not be allowed to push into the airspace of the battleship again!

The number of special electromagnetic interference bombs in the U.S. military’s home is also limited. In addition, the secret research center and production line have been taken over in one pot. It will not be possible to recover in a short time. The spirit is frustrated. !

No matter how hard they tried, they were still unable to break through the jet fleet and tiger shark fleet that seemed to have lost half or even two-thirds of their combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, Zhu Bin couldn't send an aircraft formation as large as the US military, and he didn't need it. On the contrary, he always required the fighters to be divided into at least three waves to take turns.Let the pilots get enough rest, let the fighters get full maintenance and overhaul, and avoid overwork injuries and low-level mistakes.

Under such organic and steady control, the seemingly deadlocked battle situation has actually been going on with ease!

In contrast, the Japanese-American coalition forces are not very comfortable!

Yalu River Estuary.The second wave-style assault has just been launched, and a group of people from the coalition headquarters suppressed their excitement, waiting for the good news of victory, but after waiting and waiting, they suddenly received the bad news that Commander Hirata Kenkichi had died, and followed closely Looking at the telegrams he sent in clear codes also made people puzzled, and then, the communication was interrupted!

The leaders of the coalition forces have made a point of making this kind of nonsense several times in a row.You know right away that things might change drastically!

I was in a hurry to get through the wired phone to the former enemy observers and the riverside fortress, but what I heard was the roar of an explosion like a mountain roar and a tsunami!Panting and trembling voices, observers from several countries reported: "The Chinese garrison suddenly launched a violent shelling, which has already blocked the passage across the river! It seems that the forward troops who are fighting have been violently blocked! Ah --- my God! China Your battleship is coming again!"

"Damn it! Why is there always such trouble!"

Hideki Tojo was the most impatient, and dropped the phone with all his might, yelling.

He was really fed up with all this, the repeated tug-of-war.Every time when the dawn is about to be seen, something unexpected happens.It was so bad it almost gave you a heart attack!

After scolding, he stared at the Yankee with bloodshot eyes and asked: "Didn't you say that you have successfully seized the air supremacy and driven the Chinese Navy back to their hometown? Why are they coming back now?! And even bigger A large-scale shore attack?!"

Old MacArthur's face looked dark and gloomy as if he had been slapped severely.No good expression.

Can he be happy?In the front, their cowhide has been blown out. In fact, there are indeed no Chinese ships in most of the Yellow Sea waters.But who knew there would be such a drastic change overnight?

The size of the ships that appeared was even larger, and the density of the shells they fired was quadrupled than before. Even if half of the heavy artillery positions in the mountains on the opposite bank were temporarily misfired due to transfer or some other reason, the bombardment around the river bank did not decrease but increased!

"Damn it! Aren't the Chinamen worried that their naval gun tubes are worn out? And the shells, are they made of mud? They don't cost money?"

The old guy complained secretly in his heart.

Everyone knows that the navy is an expensive and money-consuming thing. Not to mention the expensive shells, the lifespan of the gun barrel is limited, and if one is scrapped, it is equivalent to scrapping a small battleship, which usually has to serve for decades.But according to the current method, I am afraid that the rifling will be polished in just ten days and half a month.They are so willing, don't they have more money than the United States? !

Of course, Old Mike didn't know that the cost of the barrels and ammunition produced by Zhu Bin's technology was extremely low, and the quality and lifespan of the barrels of naval guns was three to five times that of other countries, or even higher!Theoretically, other gun barrels hit 300-500 shells, which is basically the limit.It's only when you come to him that you have run into the ideal state.

Bullying people with advanced technological capabilities of aliens is the foundation of happiness!

The successive reports from the front made the coalition army unable to calm down!Especially after the addition of the rocket attack ship, which mainly attacks the shore, the attack density is outrageous!

These warships with a standard displacement of about 2500 tons, based on the original mass-produced island-class destroyers, removed most of the naval guns, leaving only a double-mounted 127mm high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire gun on the bow, and as much as possible in the back. The narrow and compact ship island and the use of Tesla gas turbines greatly reduce the footprint of the power system, and there is no interference from the central chimney, freeing up a lot of space on the upper deck.

On it, six 48-tube 203mm rocket launchers are installed!One salvo can send 50 powerful rockets to a distance of up to 288 kilometers, covering a city is not a problem!Basically, the formation of an army armored division is only that big.

In addition, this gadget is also equipped with four missile launchers, which adopt an external universal launch box structure, which can be installed or replaced as a whole, with a unified interface and flexible collocation. It was only twenty kilometers, and it increased sharply to more than one hundred kilometers.

This thing originally existed as a fire support ship, but after finishing it, it was discovered that it was actually the main attacker.That's not weaker than the big guys at all!

Four rocket attack ships joined the attack, and each ship fired rockets alternately in two waves. On the battlefield with a radius of [-] kilometers at the mouth of the Yalu River, especially on the sea side, the devastating suppression caused was heart-wrenching. Wow cool wow cool.There is no room for luck!

The 420mm main gun of the "Kunlun-class" battleship uses the bottom row of extended-range ammunition to attack the side of the shore-based fortress. Even if it is a cave hidden in the mountain, after being hit on the side, it will still be buried by the collapsed rocks. The Tibetan soldier cave transformed from the original karst cave was collapsed, and the Japanese army suffered huge casualties!

The entire North Korean channel along the Yellow Sea was completely cut off, and the battles in the air and on the water continued to be fought there.At night, there are a large number of sky hunters cruising around. It is impossible to secretly repair roads or transport supplies!

Faced with the questioning of the Japanese, the Americans had nothing to say.Being used to being overbearing, they simply did not explain, and only replied in disgrace: "We did not see the rapid breakthrough guaranteed by the Japanese army! The United States has provided valuable supplies. Unrestricted supply, as much as possible to provide artillery and air. Support. Haven’t your troops already passed by? Even if the traffic is temporarily interrupted, it shouldn’t be difficult for 10 elite soldiers to open a gap? Why have we only heard voices of distress until now?”

Is this a slap in the face?

Hideki Tojo is also a bachelor, so he doesn't play tricks.Stiff neck is very stiff: "Don't worry! The good news will come soon! Imperial soldiers have a strong fighting spirit and advanced tactics. It is expected to defeat the Chinese people!"

"I can't see it!"

MacArthur also received more ground and air reconnaissance reports ahead, especially fighter planes that swooped down for reconnaissance at low altitudes during the battle.The scattered messages sent back after running back to the airspace with unobstructed radio, some of which were shocking, were that the Japanese army’s attack was severely frustrated, with a large number of casualties. The troops were surrounded in a wide area around Anton, and the situation was not good!

He slammed the information summary in front of the Japanese, pointed with a pipe and said, "Look! This is what you call good news?!"

When Hideki Tojo saw it, his mind went into a mess.He didn't doubt that Americans might talk nonsense, and they didn't need it.Just relying on advanced means, he knew the real-time battle report on the front line a little earlier than himself.Now, Hirata Kenkichi is finished, that guy Moritake Tanabe, why didn't he send the follow-up battle report?

Could it be that he has already broken into pieces?Or have no face to say?

There is no other way now, the communication on the battlefield is not good, all situations cannot be guessed, the only way is, wait!

In private, General Hiso Nishio could not bear the domestic pressure, and quietly asked Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Itagaki: "Everyone! His Majesty the Emperor, I hope to hear the most real situation on our side. The news encourages us, no matter what, we must make satisfactory results. Is there any good way?"

Seishiro Itagaki is no different.

As a defeated general, he was able to recover, thanks to the collapse of a bunch of ambitious lieutenant generals after him, dozens of divisions were annihilated, and hundreds of generals were killed. Only then did he truly realize the strength of the Chinese people .

Lieutenant General Itagaki will not continue to be arrogant, he has calmed down and studied Zhu Bin for several years, and he feels that he has some experience.Now that others can't count on him, he has to face a big hurdle in his military career. If he can't pass it, there is really no hope in this life!

no!You have to find a way to solve the big trouble and use your wisdom!

Itagaki Seishiro's old head was shining, and a bunch of schemes were rolled over, and he dealt with it first: "The Chinese army is more stubborn and insidious than we imagined. The previous retreat may have deliberately manipulated the enemy. Let our army Feeling proud, and then strike back. I have to say, I have won the three flavors of the art of war. But now, the situation can no longer be changed, we must firmly implement the strategy of attacking, no matter how big the sacrifice in front is, we must invest again, Until complete victory is achieved!"

Hideki Tojo couldn't help but sneer: "It's so easy for you to say! Don't forget that we have suffered 20 casualties since the launch, a full 20! But we haven't captured even an important city in Manchuria! You say , How many precious army elites must be sacrificed to achieve the so-called victory?"

I can't blame other people for looking down on Tojo. In fact, this guy's cooperation is extremely bad, his temper is very bad, and he talks in a daze without showing mercy.If it weren't for the old men like Sugiyama Yuan, I'm afraid it would have been cleaned up by others.

Itagaki Seishiro had no time to get angry with him, so he patiently explained: "We might as well look at it from another angle. Yingmi Guishu has always kept a hand on us, and he also wants to see the empire use all its strength to fight China to the end. After the evaluation. They invest in the minimum loss of personnel to achieve fruitful results. Then we can also use it in reverse! Now, we are in trouble, shouldn't they provide more support to help?"

"What support do you need? Americans, but thousands of planes have been produced! Especially those expensive bombers can catch up with the cost of a Yamato!"

In Japanese history, there is no greater investment and creation than the Yamato-class battleship, so even if it is extremely difficult to deal with the navy, Tojo Hideki can't help but use that big guy as a comparison object to describe its large amount.

Seishiro Itagaki sneered and said: "That loss is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to the Americans. It will not make them feel bad. I suggest that they can be asked to increase air strikes and send the navy into the Yellow Sea, and then cooperate with us to launch a simultaneous battle for Manchuria. !"

"Continue to expand the scale of dispatching troops?!"

As bold as Hideki Tojo, he couldn't help but stare!Such a three-way attack by sea, land and air, I am afraid that more than two to three million people will be mobilized at one time to complete it!And at least more than half of these people have to be broken on the battlefield, the added up cost...

He remembered ten years ago, when he seized the Northeast.A total of more than 1 troops were mobilized, and the casualties were negligible.Millions of square kilometers of fertile land were obtained.

Now, after several days of tossing, 20 people were killed and injured, but they couldn't even win the ten-kilometer-deep advance base. This gap is too big!

He couldn't help but hesitate.

Seishiro Itagaki sneered in his heart, whose turn it is to have a headache now?

He is not irresponsible random ideas.It is true that Japan has no way to retreat. No matter how many casualties there were before, it is nothing compared to the critical survival of the entire nation.He even made bold guesses, in order to win the final victory.Even if 500 million people died, it would be nearly one-fourteenth of the total population of Japan, or even 1000 million people, one-seventh!That's worth it too!

Even if there are only 3000 million people left in Japan, as long as they get a stable and vast land, rely on the various powers of the victorious countries, and fully encourage births, the population may not be able to recover again after 20 years, and after 50 years, the population may not recover again. It is a powerful empire!

As a soldier, you must dare to make sacrifices.As a politician, you must dare to spend your money!Acting decisively is the basic quality of making great things happen.

Hideki Tojo is not the kind of person who is indecisive. Although in his bones, this guy is a little afraid of death, but on the surface, he is definitely a generous, brave, fearless and peerless fighter!

He nodded decisively and fiercely: "Okay! That's the decision! Please, General, report to His Majesty and the headquarters. All the current problems are temporary, and we will surely win the final victory. Yingmi ghost animal, don't try to take advantage of it." It's too easy, they must come up with decent chips!"

Without the encouragement of others, he went straight to negotiate with the Americans.

Hearing that the Japanese planned to continue to organize an elite three-way assault of 50 troops, and advance strongly, even the self-proclaimed firm and meaningless old MacArthur couldn't help but look sideways: "Damn Japanese dwarfs! Don't they care about the casualties of soldiers at all?" Right now, but it has already lost more than 20, and it will even reach 30!"

For such a person, whether it is an opponent or a cooperation, it is frightening!The Chinese actually defeated such a ferocious enemy alive. It is conceivable that the power they possess is by no means as weak as the Army Staff Department said.

The Japanese asked the navy and air force to cooperate with each other and carry out an unprecedented storm. This was beyond MacArthur's authority, but he was still a little bit excited.

It's not a problem just to watch the fire from the other side. The Japanese are not strong enough and always lose the chain. If the country can't wait, the pressure on the president and the main fighters will be huge, which may lead to abnormal changes. This is what he doesn't want to see .Why don't we really mobilize the army to go to the front line to experience what kind of situation it is!

MacArthur readily agreed to let Chief of Staff Sutherland be responsible for organizing the document, contacting the country, and reporting related matters.

Looking back, a group of foreign devils got together to discuss, and the British couldn't help but marvel: "Are the Japanese going to put all their eggs in one basket? They actually asked the Pacific Navy to venture into the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea! This is going to face unprecedented challenges." The strikes by Chinese warplanes, and even the siege by shore-based forces, are really...crazy!"

The British suffered a lot in World War I, and they were very sensitive to hundreds of thousands of battles and casualties. They couldn't help being terrified when they saw so many Japanese soldiers die.Now people don't feel much pain, want to play in Dali, this matter, the UK is really powerless.

Frankly spread our hands: "We can only prepare for the offensive on the southern front, but that depends on the results of the northern front. If we can't fully contain the strength of the Chinese northern army and make them have no time to worry about, it will be difficult for us to succeed. In principle, the British Definitely support the Allied Forces' big move."

Just playing with your mouth, benefiting without cost, who the hell can't!

The Americans scorned the former suzerain country, and now they are sloppy, decisively decided to play by themselves in the future, and the British can't count on it at all.

With uncertainty, he reported the situation to the U.S. Army Staff Headquarters and the Presidential Palace. Roosevelt, Marshall and others attached great importance to this. Combining all kinds of intelligence, Chief of Staff Marshall said frankly: "We want to consume Japan's vital forces while gaining It is obvious that they cannot work alone. The mobilization of the Pacific Fleet and the early intervention of our elite soldiers are very necessary, and we express our support."

Navy?Even without Roosevelt's persuasion, he jumped out hastily.For nothing else, Admiral Kimmel has applied many times to lead the fleet to "kick the Chinaman's ass hard!"

Revenge! (to be continued..)
