Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Peking warship combat conference room

When Lin Yuan announced the next phase of the battle plan, both Chen Fei and Han Mingguang frowned, because Lin Yuan's next phase of the battle plan was to wipe out the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula.

Others in the combat conference room also thought this plan was too crazy, because the people who participated in the meeting were all the department heads of the Beijing warship. Most of these people were technical officers, and they all felt that they were laymen in land warfare, so they didn't express their opinions.

Because everyone knows that the number of marines on the Beijing ship is more than 100, and the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula originally had 1.6 people. Excluding the Battle of Chenghuan, the losses in the Battle of Pyongyang will be around 1.3. Use 100 people to fight 1 people, how to fight?

Lin Yuan said: "Comrades, I know that everyone has no idea about this plan. How can 100 people fight 1 people? Let's analyze the next step of the Japanese army. Due to our electromagnetic interference, the Japanese army base camp and The communication between the combined fleets has been interrupted. The Japanese army will not rashly cross the Yalu River to attack our country without commanding the sea. Therefore, they will definitely continue to hide in Pyongyang, and a small number of troops that arrived in Uiju should also retreat. In the future, they will definitely rely on the victory of the land battle to force the Qing government to agree that North Korea will break away from the vassal relationship with the Qing government. Pyongyang is adjacent to the Datong River in the south and Mudantai in the north. The terrain is dangerous, and the elite Japanese army is stationed in the city. That must not work."

At this point, Lin Yuan paused for a moment, and continued: "In Pyongyang, all the elite Japanese troops in North Korea are assembled. The main force is the [-]rd Division and [-]th Division, as well as the Artillery Unit, the Supplies Unit and the Telecommunications Unit. Formed into the first army, the commander is Yutomo Yamagata, and Yutomo Yamagata is the number one figure in the Japanese army. Think about it, if the highest level of the Japanese army is wiped out at the same time, what will happen to this unit?"

Hearing what Lin Yuan said, everyone's hearts suddenly brightened. Lin Yuan made a "cut" gesture and said, "So our first step is to behead the first army and the two divisions of the Japanese army at the same time." command structure."

As the head of the carrier-based aircraft unit, Xu Feng also participated in the meeting. He added: "Yes, we will not only attack the command structure of the Japanese army, but also attack their ammunition depots, granaries, and their artillery."

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Xu Feng is right. The food and ammunition of the Japanese army must be transported from the mainland to the port of Incheon, and then go far by land. Therefore, we should attack the port of Incheon. Once the food and grass of the Japanese army are cut off, the morale of the army will be disturbed."

Han Mingguang said: "I don't know if you have noticed a problem. Because Japan's shipping capacity is insufficient, the Japanese government has rented foreign merchant ships for transportation. The most of them are British ships. The British wanted to balance the Russians in the Far East. The power of the Japanese government strongly supports Japan, and those ships are almost free for the Japanese to use.”

Xu Feng said with a smile at this time: "Political Commissar, you are not afraid of causing international disputes, are you? In this era, our aircraft carrier is not afraid of anyone!"

His words caused many comrades present to laugh, and Han Mingguang also laughed. He said: "The British are not good people. They robbed us of many cultural relics, and they also teamed up with the French to burn down the Old Summer Palace. So I mean, let's not just bomb the British transports, we'll mine the port and make them a big dumb loser."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, the first step plan is like this. Our carrier-based aircraft conducts decapitation operations, destroys the enemy's command organization, and then destroys their logistical supplies. But even so, our marines can't do anything about it." To wipe out all the Japanese troops, so the second plan is, I will go to the Qing army garrison on the border between China and North Korea, and find a way to get them to send troops, and then we will be able to wipe out all the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop."

Han Mingguang hesitated and said, "Will it be dangerous for you to go to the generals of the Qing army?"

Lin Yuan said nonchalantly: "No, the Japanese fleet didn't do anything to me. The Qing army can be regarded as our compatriots, let alone harm me."

When Lin Yuan said this, he looked at all the department heads present, and said, "Okay, that's the plan. The collection of target intelligence and the specific plan for air strikes will be implemented by the relevant departments. That's all for today. , break up the meeting."

At twelve o'clock on September 9, one and a half hours before the end of the war meeting on the Beijing ship, in Pyongyang, the Japanese commander Yamagata Yutomo was worrying about the food problem.

The Japanese army has always had a tradition of underestimating logistical supplies. This was most vividly reflected in the Russo-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Pacific War. The Japanese army had a special arm for logistical maintenance—the heavy soldiers. But there is another saying in the Japanese army: If it is considered soldiers, dragonflies can also be considered eagles. It can be seen how unpopular this type of arms is in the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese army robbed them wherever they went, not because they were fierce and cruel, but also because they were really hungry.

Youpeng of Shan County originally planned to occupy Pyongyang City, so that he could grab food from the Qing army, but when he saw Ye Zhichao, the commander of the Pyongyang garrison, abandon the city, he already expected that this plan would fail, and the food in the city was pitifully scarce.

A friend from Shan County turned to Incheon for food transportation, but although there was food in Incheon, there was no one to transport it. Compared with the Qing army on the other side of the Yalu River, the strength of the Japanese army was already weak. How could there be any troops to transport food? ?Then there are only Koreans, but the Koreans are not willing to work for the Japanese at all, and the Japanese army is not easy to tear their faces to force the Koreans. After all, Japan sent troops on the grounds of helping North Korea break away from the control of the Qing government. How can they intimidate the Koreans? Woolen cloth?

What made Shanxian Youpeng even more depressing was that the combined fleet of the Japanese army was missing, and the telegrams could not be reached at all. Even the base camp did not know where the combined fleet was. The Korean peninsula is so narrow and faces the sea on three sides. Next, land behind him, and encircle him with the Qing army on the opposite side of the Yalu River, then his entire army will have to be crushed.

Suddenly, Youpeng Shanxian saw a black spot flying towards the sky in the distance, and his first reaction in his heart was: What a big bird, and then a black spot fell from it, his heart moved, where did it land? , which is the location of the command post of the Third Division.

Then he saw a large cloud of white smoke rising from the place where the black dot landed. He naturally thought of the smoke after the explosion of the shell, and then there was a muffled sound. He couldn't help wondering, the sound of the shell was not like this. Suddenly, the white smoke made a loud noise, and a huge and dazzling fireball rose into the air from the white smoke.

Just when he was wondering, there was an explosion sound behind him. An unknown thing entered the room through the window of the telegraph room and exploded in the room. Then there was a loud noise, and the roof was blown off. The fireball engulfed him in an instant.

The carrier-based aircraft on the Beijing ship carried out the beheading operation. According to Lin Yuan's order, the early warning aircraft successfully locked the position of the Japanese command post according to the Japanese army's telegram signal. A J-24 attacked and fired napalm bombs at the designated target. The huge fireball that Xian Youpeng saw was produced by the burning and explosion of napalm in the bomb.This kind of bomb is extremely lethal to personnel, especially the burning of napalm in an instant consumes a lot of oxygen and produces a large amount of carbon monoxide, so that the personnel in the bunker cannot be spared.

In less than half an hour, the command posts of the third and fifth divisions, the main combat force of the Japanese army, were all destroyed. , all killed.

For ordinary officers and soldiers of the Japanese army, the loss of command is not the most terrible thing. Their supplies at Incheon Port will soon turn into ashes, and the Japanese army will soon be in a situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Lin Yuan was on the helicopter at this time, flying to the Qing army garrison. He didn't know that a more difficult battle was still waiting for them.
