Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan went on to say: "Both Jiangyin and Zhenjiang are famous fortresses in history. In our era, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang army once planned to scuttle ships in Jiangyin to intercept Japanese ships in the Yangtze River; Zhenjiang was called Jingkou in ancient times, and Guazhou is opposite. Guazhou in "Louchuan Yexue Guazhou Ferry" has always been the battlefield when the North and the South confront each other. Once these two places are taken down, the east side of Nanjing City will be safe to defend!"

Fade Chen said: "That's the way to march, what about our military strength? How to arrange it?"

Lin Yuan said: "We need to deploy our troops according to the enemy's defensive strength. Now let Comrade Wan Qing introduce the defensive strength of Chongming Island, Jiangyin and Zhenjiang to us."

Shen Wanqing chuckled and said, "There are only three of us here. I have already told you about the defensive strength and deployment, so you can just tell me."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I think it's boring for you to sit on the side, so let's talk about it."

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "Well, let me talk about it. Let's talk about Chongming Island first. This island is the first stop of the attack. If you can't take down this island, there is no need to mention other things. Let's Let’s talk about the guard of Chongming Island first.” Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile, “The guard here is your good friend!”

Fade Chen immediately laughed when he heard the word 'friends', and Lin Yuan said helplessly, "Wan Qing, don't make trouble, where do I have any friends?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "The guard of Chongming Island is Luo Rongguang, the guard of the Dagu Fort back then. Since he defeated the Japanese-Russian coalition attack in Dagu, the Qing court promoted him to be the Admiral of Jiangnan. In charge of the defense of Chongming Island! Do you remember this man?"

Lin Yuan yelled "Oh" and said, "Who am I supposed to be? It turned out to be him. I remembered. He is a guy who only cares about the Qing court. He is more foolish and loyal than Yue Fei. He is the one who defends me." Chongming Island, our battle will be more difficult!"

Fade Chen suddenly said: "No, Wan Qing said that you have read the information? Why don't you even know who the guard is? You probably didn't read it?"

Lin Yuan smiled embarrassedly, while Shen Wanqing said coquettishly: "Okay, I figured it out, you didn't even read the information I gave you! I said, why did you let me tell it!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I can't blame me, you know, I have to deal with so much data every day..."

Shen Wanqing glared at Lin Yuan coquettishly, and said, "Don't talk so much, I'll settle the score with you when I go back! Let me continue. Luo Rongguang learned the lesson of the Qing army's fall in Chongming Island during the Opium War, and went to Chongming Island Afterwards, fortifications were built, cannons were cast, and local bravery was trained. Now there are more than 100 cannons of various kinds on Chongming Island. Although there are only 3 defenders, the people on the island are half army and half civilians. Take knives and guns from time to time, and if they are all mobilized, there will be more than [-] people."

"As for Jiangyin and Zhenjiang, the Qing court also deployed heavy troops. Among them, Jiangyin's guards are the original Shanhaiguan guards. Xiong Tiesheng, who betrayed us and surrendered to the Qing court, has about [-] guards in Jiangyin, all of whom are newly recruited brave men. ; Zhenjiang is the barrier to the east of Nanjing, and the guard is Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang. Originally, the governor of Liangjiang lived in Jiangning Mansion, that is, Nanjing, but in order to defend the north, we crossed the Yangtze River from Guazhou, so we went to Zhenjiang. Liu Kun's troops are almost [-]!"

Fade Chen said with a smile: "Liu Kunyi is just an escaped general, nothing to worry about!" After speaking, he looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Didn't you be kind to Liu Kunyi? How can he avenge his kindness now?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What can he do to avenge me? Well, let's not talk about him, let me talk about our deployment of troops. The main force of our attack is of course the amphibious combat brigade. This brigade has about 8000 people. They will be the first wave of attacking troops to attack Chongming Island. Although Luo Rongguang has tens of thousands of troops, they are all militias, which are incomparable to our professionally trained marines, so taking Chongming Island should be a problem Not big."

"However, this marine brigade alone is not enough to take Nanjing. We need more troops behind us. I plan to mobilize the newly formed Eighth Division, Ninth Division and Tenth Division. A total of [-] troops, as follow-up troops to attack Nanjing, they will capture Tongzhou to the south of Chongming Island, Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture to the north, and then occupy the entire territory of Jiangsu to provide support for our subsequent offensive.”

"Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion are an important source of finance for the Qing court, and they are very rich. Our capture of these places will definitely be a fatal blow to the Qing court."

After hearing this, Fade Chen frowned and shook his head lightly. Lin Yuan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Fade Chen said: "Recruits! They are all recruits!"

Lin Yuan asked, "What happened to the recruit?"

Fade Chen said: "Our next three divisions are all recruits. How can we recruit recruits for such an important battle?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Now we are fighting against the Qing court. The Qing army's combat effectiveness is very low, so we can let the recruits practice. In the future, we will definitely fight against the Japanese, the British, the Americans, and even the whole world. You Can you say that we can not give this opportunity to practice to the recruits?"

Fade Chen nodded and said, "Then listen to you, that's all for the army's troop mobilization, what about the navy?"

Lin Yuan said: "This time the Beijing ship is still serving as the command ship at sea, and the four warships including the Xiaofeng Ship and the Yazi Ship are serving as escorts. As for the landing ship, the large landing ship Fomalhaut..." Lin Yuan suddenly heard Fade Chen shouted: "Stop!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Fade Chen asked: "You said 'Fomalhaut'? What does 'Fomalhaut' mean?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it is the name of the landing ship. Fomalhaut is the name of a star in ancient China. Ancient Chinese astronomy has made great achievements, so we decided to use the ancient star name to name the landing ship. , Our landing ship is called Xingming-class landing ship."

Fade Chen said: "So that's the case, you can continue."

Lin Yuan said: "We have now equipped eight large landing ships. Each of these eight large landing ships has a displacement of more than 97 tons and can carry 160 soldiers or LQ-[-] amphibious warfare. Twenty vehicles, we use these eight landing ships to transport amphibious combat vehicles to land, and we can transport [-] amphibious combat vehicles ashore at one time! Those militiamen on the island can only run away!"

Fade Chen thought for a while and said, "That's good, but there is a fatal problem. I wonder if you have discovered it?"

Lin Yuan asked, "What fatal question?"

Fade Chen said: "The strike firepower on the shore, our strike firepower on the shore is too weak! Although I haven't seen the performance parameters of the amphibious combat vehicle, I also know that this kind of amphibious combat vehicle is mainly used to transport personnel, so it is impossible to equip it with a large caliber Artillery, equipped with up to [-]mm machine guns, infantry may carry mortars, but limited by the space inside the vehicle, the caliber of mortars can be up to [-]mm, so we don’t have large-caliber suppression artillery!”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you will understand everything when you see our large landing ship."
