Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Therefore, he was only a mere chief in history, because he repeatedly predicted success in the island-hopping tactics against the Mi army and made outstanding achievements. He has already become the lieutenant general chief of staff of the Jiannan Group.

Although Horei Rongsan showed superb combat talent, he was too young, only 26 years old, and had no experience in the battlefield. Even if he was the chief of staff, it was not enough for everyone to obey him.

Just today, he carefully concocted an anti-landing operation plan that he thought was perfect, but it was opposed by almost everyone.

The most difficult stage of the landing operation is the beach grab stage, which is the so-called "first 24 hours". Once the landing party succeeds in grabbing the beach and develops in depth, the landing is basically successful.

In a series of island-hopping counter-offensive landings by the Mi army in the early stage, the island army's consistent anti-landing focus was on the beachhead counterattack, and the deployment of troops was more important than before, which is also in line with the general law of anti-landing operations.

However, Horei Rongsan thought it was not the case after researching. He first carefully calculated the firepower of the Chinese army.

The current Chinese army is no longer what it used to be. Their strong firepower has become the common sense of the Japanese army, but to what extent they are so strong, none of the Japanese staff officers who believe in "spiritual omnipotence" has ever calculated, and they don't bother to calculate.

But Horei figured it out. Taking the Battle of Hainan Island as an example, the number of destroyers and cruisers owned by one of their aircraft carrier battle groups is about 1900. According to their displacement calculations, the weight of the naval gun shells they can carry is about [-] Ton.

Even if only half of it is used for shooting across the shore, the firepower is equivalent to the sum of the five army divisions of the Locust Army.

This is just a naval gun. All the bombers at the airfields on the Indochina Peninsula can take care of the Philippines. According to the information collected by the special high-level class, the number of their light and heavy bombers on the Indochina Peninsula is no less than 24. In terms of distance , the airports in the coastal areas can do three round trips within [-] hours, and the bombing volume can reach at least [-] tons.

Take Lingayen Bay, which is the most suitable for landing, as an example. The coastline is 56 kilometers long from north to south. If you choose a landing point [-] kilometers long at random, according to China’s establishment of only one three-carrier battle group, their offensive firepower can reach every More than two tons of ammunition fell on the ground. With this kind of intensive bombing, even if the entire coastline is sunk by a few meters, it is not a problem. No kind of fortification is enough.

And the locust army can put five cannons on the front of each kilometer, which is already very generous. There is no fire suppression at all. It is only a matter of time before the defense line collapses, which will only increase casualties.

Therefore, Juei Rongsan's suggestion is: abandon the coastal fortifications, retreat to the inland mountainous areas to resist, leave the coastline 50 kilometers, exceed the range of naval guns, and the Chinese navy's firepower advantage will be greatly reduced.The island army can reduce unnecessary casualties in the early stage, preserve its strength, free up all materials and manpower, use the mountainous terrain to step up the construction of an inland mountainous defense line, fight every inch of it, fight a protracted war with them, and drag them down.

From the perspective of historical results, this is definitely a genius-level tactic. It is a pity that the top executives of the Island Army Zhennan Group are fanatical militarists.

They believe that the artillery fire of the Mi Army is strong enough, at least better than that of the Chinese Army. However, in previous battles, the Locust Army relied on shore-based firepower and fortress defense to drive them down time and time again. In the sea, the Dutch East Indies have been fighting for more than a year and are safe and sound.

Although the Zhina Navy is powerful, the Locust Army also has the Southern Fleet, the super aircraft carrier Shinano, the invincible battleship Musashi, and the cherry blossom machine carefully prepared by the Locust Army waiting for them.

Also, decisive inland battles may not necessarily be the magic weapon for victory. The expeditionary force is a force led by Jiang Haoran himself, and it can be regarded as his direct line force. No matter in terms of equipment, the commanding ability of the commander, or the fighting will and tactics of the soldiers In terms of quality, compared with the locust army, it is only high or not low.

Moreover, jungle warfare and urban battle are what they are best at. If they are really put in to fight, the locust army will not have any advantage.

On the contrary, the landing operation is the disadvantage of the Zhina army. Although they captured Hainan Island, it was by opportunism. As for Singapore, it was also the locust army who gave up on its own initiative. It cannot be regarded as a large-scale landing battle. They are almost inexperienced, at least far worse than the Mi Army, and they are not even afraid of the Mi Army Locust Army, so why are they still afraid of them.

To sum up, Jue Rongsan's tactics are simply to exploit weaknesses and avoid strengths, which is simply unrealistic.

Amidst the opposition, Jue Rongsan finally died down, and sat lazily on his seat, but his face was still full of unwilling loneliness.

Fengwen Yamashita stood up, patted Juei Rongsan on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Ji Rongjun, you have never fought against that army on the battlefield, so you don't know their strengths and weaknesses, and you don't know their ferocity and strength. Cunning, this is normal, your suggestion does have merit, but it does not fit the enemy we are facing. Therefore, you should use your foresight to figure out where they will choose to land from."

Horei Rongsan nodded helplessly, and said: "I have carefully studied the terrain and the information we have obtained. Their landing points are nothing more than two places. One is Lingayen Bay in the northwest of Luzon Island. The airborne location will be in Dali. Near the west of Gupan City. The other is in Subic Bay on the southwestern coast of Luzon, and the airborne troops will land in Nasugbu, south of Manila. Between the two, I personally prefer the latter.”

"Why?" Yamashita Fengwen wondered.

Hori Rongsan thought for a while, and said: "Because Manila, Manila is the narrowest place on the entire island, as long as they take down Manila, they will immediately cut off the linkage of the locust army in the Philippines, and the battlefield will become two battlefields, east and west. The land transportation of the locust army on Visayas and Mindanao will be cut off, and they will soon fall into a logistical situation. They will enter from the Sulu Sea and attack from Mindanao. The locust army will be unstoppable block."

Yamashita Fengwen nodded silently, and seemed to think it made sense, and then said: "According to the information of the special high school, all the airborne troops of the Chinese army have been transferred to the rear for training, and there is no sign of them being dispatched. Think they can still send out airborne troops?"

Horei Rongsan said with a wry smile: "Don't forget, Nimitz has been to Vientiane. This time, it is a joint attack by China, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United Kingdom. The Chinese airborne troops are training, but don't they still have those from the United States? Especially Jiang Haoran has always been good at using surprise troops, and he is also familiar with the important role of the airborne troops in the landing battle, he will never give up the airborne part."
