Chapter 208 A Massive Invasion (2)

"Izumo" also has a symbolic meaning in the Japanese Navy. It was manufactured by the Armstrong Shipyard in the United Kingdom. It has a displacement of nearly [-] tons and belongs to the "armored cruiser". of the ship.

而5艘重巡洋舰，每艘均装备有10门200mm左右的主炮，以及100mm以上口径的高射炮近10门。

The Chinese fleet of the Japanese Navy is unprecedentedly powerful!

It can be said that if Wu Aihua's "merit system" has not been upgraded, there is no hope of dealing with such a powerful Japanese naval fleet.

However, after the "merit system" is upgraded, can it deal with such a huge Japanese fleet?The answer is: hard to say.

Because, although Wu Aihua's meritorious service system can "exchange" the most advanced equipment such as fighter planes, heavy cruisers, missiles, and rockets, it is not easy to make these equipment into combat power, and the price of robots in sea and air combat It is 10 times more expensive than the original, and it is impossible for Wu Aihua to "exchange" a large number of robots to participate in the battle.Therefore, Wu Aihua had to seriously train his own navy and air force.

At the end of November 1937, after all-round deployment of troops and massive expansion, the establishment of Japan's 11 armies was finally completed.

第1军司令官香月清司中将，下辖第20、108、、110、27、35师团；第2军司令官东久弥宫埝彦王中将，下辖第5、16、109、21、33师团；第3军司令官山下奉文中将，下辖第8、19、114、22、36师团；第4军司令官土肥原贤二中将，下辖第14、103、116、29、37师团；第5军司令官河村恭辅中将，下辖第1、101、112、24、31师团；第6军司令官冈村宁次中将，下辖第2、13、102、25、30师团；第7军司令官松井命中将，下辖第4、11、111、113、34师团；第8军司令官牛岛满中将，下辖第10、17、119、120、26师团；第9军司令官多田俊中将，下辖第7、15、105、106、39师团；第10军司令官柳川平助中将，下辖第3、18、107、117、38师团；第11军司令官谷寿夫中将，下辖第6、12、115、23、32师团；第12军司令官荻洲立兵中将，下辖第9、104、118、28、40师团。

Historically, the Japanese army had 17 permanent divisions, which were Guards divisions and divisions numbered 1-20 (13, 15, 17, and 18 were missing); before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, not only the 13th, The 15th, 17th, and 18th divisions also formed 12 "ad hoc divisions" (numbered 101-120). From 1938 to 1941, Japan formed the 21-29 series of "new divisions". 30-49 series of "security divisions", after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan felt that the army was insufficient, and 50-59 "supplementary divisions", 60-after "additional divisions" (this category is divided into A, B, C, D Classification is not contradictory).It can be seen that the expansion of the Japanese army is in "echelon".

However, Wu Aihua's crossing turned the "gradual increase" in the history of the Japanese army into a "one-time" increase.Moreover, except for the Guards Division of these troops, the remaining 60 divisions will all enter China!Obviously, this is the "negative effect" brought about by Wu Aihua's crossing. Although the national defense force also has 70 divisions, who can be well-rounded in war without any problems?As long as the war starts, there is not a one-to-one correspondence between military strength and military strength, but a process of constant and dynamic changes in the strength of local enemy and enemy forces. It often happens that small things fight for big things, and small things lead to big things.

At the same time, the Japanese Army completed the formation of four strategic groups:

Kwantung Army.The commander will continue to be General Ueda Kenkichi, and the main force will be the 5th Army of Lieutenant General Kyosuke Kawamura and the 9th Army of Lieutenant General Jun Takuku.

North China Front Army.The commander is headed by the Sixth General Yan Jun, and the main forces are the 1st Army of Kiyoshi Kazuki, the 2nd Army of King Higashihikiya Nihiko, the 3rd Army of Yamashita Fufumi, and the 2nd Flying Group.

East China Front Army.The commander was General Matsui Iwane, and the main forces were Kenji Doihara's 4th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army, and Tani Hisao's 11th Army.

South China Front Army.The commander was Nobuyuki Abe, and the main forces were the 6th Army of Neiji Okamura, the 7th Army of Matsui Ming, the 8th Army of Ushijima Mitsuru, and the 12th Army of Ogizu Ribing.

1937年12月13日凌晨1时，在历史上的“淞沪会战”爆发4个月结束1个月之后，日军华东方面军小股特种部队利用夜色乘登陆艇在吴淞口悄悄上岸，迅速歼灭了中国驻吴淞口的警戒部队，凌晨3时，日军华北方面军先头部队第11军第6师团36旅团23联队乘坐运兵船悄无声息地抢滩成功！

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the 23rd Regiment of the Japanese Army got in touch with the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the Chinese defenders in front of them. The Sino-Japanese War broke out again!

In history, a huge misunderstanding happened here!

Historically, because the Japanese army launched the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 1th, they wanted to find a decisive battle for China's main force, but the Military Commission of the Guomin Government chose to fight the Japanese army in Songhu. Although the textbook said that the August 9th Incident was provoked by the Japanese army, the fact is that It was the Chinese army who took the initiative to attack the Japanese army!However, the misunderstanding of history is really serious. In addition to occupying the whole of Shandong and some places in Hebei, the Japanese army also lost the cities of Chahar and Beiping, two divisions and several brigades in North China. It can be said that North China The war was the "defeat" of the Japanese army.This situation led to the evil result that Chiang Kai-shek concentrated a large number of elite troops on the front lines of northern Jiangsu and Anhui to prevent the 36st Army of the North China Front Army from going south, but in Shanghai there were only three divisions of the 87th, 88th, and [-]th divisions of Zhang Zhizhong's [-]th Army defense.

The 36th Division, 87th Division, and 88th Division, anyone with a little knowledge of military history will understand that these are the direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek's direct descendants, all of which were adapted from the former Nationalist Government Guards and carefully trained by German consultants.And the teachers of these three divisions, Song Xilian, Wang Jingjiu, and Sun Yuanliang, are also well-known figures in history books. Chiang Kai-shek himself is also a favorite of these three divisions.

Historically, the commander of the Ninth Army at this time should be Zhu Shaoliang, but because there is no war in Shanghai, the commander is still Zhang Zhizhong.In the history of the Republic of China, Zhang Zhizhong was also considered a military and political master, and he was absolutely loyal to Chiang Nai. However, because history has changed, both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Zhizhong believed that if Japan made a comeback, it would definitely not be the first to come from Japan. Landing in Shanghai, although the two fully understood the importance of Shanghai's strategic position, they also insisted on their views.

Why are they so confident?The reason is naturally Wu Aihua's birth!

Chiang Kai-shek and his subordinates believed that if the Japanese army wanted to go to war, it would definitely be a decisive battle with the National Defense Forces directly looking for Wu Aihua. It is meaningless to occupy any part of China, because the places occupied by the Japanese may be recaptured by Wu Aihua's troops at any time.

In other words, if the Japanese army wants to make a comeback and conquer China, it must first conquer Wu Aihua's National Defense Forces!

Not only people from the Chiang Kai-shek Group have this view, but also Wu Aihua, the time traveler himself, also holds this attitude.Of course, his views were only less extreme.Wu Aihua and his generals spend almost all their free time studying where the Japanese army will attack.Beiping, Chahar, Subei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places have all been conceived.

The result of the research is that the Japanese army will first assemble a large army to attack Beiping, because Wu Aihua has only one group army and two direct divisions in Peiping and Chahar up to now, only 7 divisions. Of course, this does not include Caijiayu A standard air force regiment at the airport, as well as the guards at the Fozizhuang base and the Chahar garrison.But in any case, this force is a "partial division" in Wu Aihua's military force, and it is relatively easy to defeat it.

In addition, Wu Aihua's partial division once defeated the Second Army of the North China Front Army and seized Beiping and Chahar. If the Japanese army could annihilate it, or at least drive it away, it would also be able to restore the adverse effects of the Japanese army's defeat in North China.

The key issue is that the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army now has 3 armies, 15 divisions and its local garrison. When necessary, the 2 armies of the Kwantung Army can take out one army to attack Chahar to contain the National Defense Forces. Occupy Chahar, because the Japanese army already has an absolute superiority in military strength in North China.

Secondly, Japan is very likely to attack Fujian and Guangdong first, because the Japanese navy has a particularly obvious advantage. As long as the Japanese army conducts "multiple landings" in South China, the National Defense Forces may be exhausted.Even though Wu Aihua's air force is very powerful, the Air Force of the National Defense Forces may not be able to take advantage of the anti-aircraft firepower assembled by the Japanese army on a fleet scale.Fujian is the birthplace of the Wu Aihua National Defense Force. Occupying or destroying it can cut off the source of ammunition supplies for the National Defense Forces, which is of great significance.

Of course, to attack Fujian and Guangdong first, the Japanese army had to be mentally prepared for a head-on confrontation, because in Guangdong and Fujian, the National Defense Forces not only had 5 group armies and 25 divisions, but also a large number of local garrison troops, with a total strength of nearly one million people. However, if you want to engage in a "decisive battle" with such a well-equipped and well-trained army, you need a good appetite.But the problem is that the Japanese never play their cards according to common sense, and always like to gamble whimsically. Coupled with their powerful navy, who dares to say that the Japanese army will not attack Fujian and Guangdong?

Besides, there is an extremely important reason why Wu Aihua focuses on defending Fujian and Guangdong, and that is to guard the "sea estuary".At this time, the National Defense Army's control area is a critical period for large-scale construction. If the route is open for one more day, it means that tens of thousands of tons of materials will arrive at the port. If the Japanese army occupies the coast or destroys the port, Wu Aihua's construction will be immediately affected. Influence.

Shanghai?Of course, it is also possible for the Japanese army to attack first, but the upper echelons of the National Defense Forces believe that this possibility is extremely small.Because the Japanese army chose to attack Shanghai first. On the surface, it seems that they are far away from the "enemy" of the National Defense Forces, and they can gain temporary security. As long as the National Defense Forces are dispatched, it is very likely that the Japanese army will spit out the occupied places again.
