Chapter 847: The Sino-Japanese War, Beginning !!

readx; As time passed, while China was making final preparations for an attack, it was becoming more and more difficult for Germany in Europe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Russians were much weaker than they were historically, this did not change the many difficulties faced by the German army on the Eastern Front, and in the winter of 1943 the Germans were forced to switch to a strategic defensive posture.

In North Africa, despite the strong support of Germany, Italy has been losing ground and has now completely withdrawn from Africa, and Italy can only turn to the mainland.

It can be said that the German and Italian alliance in Europe is on the verge of failure, when in fact they have performed much better than they have historically been, and they are facing less pressure. On the one hand, it was because Soviet Russia was much weaker than it was in history, and on the other hand, it was said that the United States felt a huge threat by attacking Australia, and for this reason it did not hesitate to invest huge resources in Australia, and this weakened the power that the United States saw in Europe to a certain extent.

Of course, there is also the intention of the United States itself, that is, the Americans do not want to land in Europe too early, but want Soviet Russia to continue to consume Germany's strength.

In this war, even if they are allies, they all have their own careful thoughts.

And these careful considerations are more or less taking into account the post-war situation, because today in 1944, anyone can see that whether it is Germany or Ben, their defeat is inevitable, and now what they, including China, are thinking about how to make more benefits when Ben and Germany are defeated.

The situation in Europe is already of secondary importance to Chen Jingyun, and Chen Jingyun is now all focused on the upcoming war against Yue, although the navy has repeatedly patted its chest and promised that after the war starts, the navy will definitely be able to wipe out the remnants of the navy without any suspense, so as to completely control the air supremacy in the waters around the country, so as to provide sufficient security for the landing force.

However, Chen Jingyun is still a little uneasy, after all, he said, "My will to fight is not comparable to ordinary countries, and if I don't do it well, I will come to a jade break, and at this time, Chen Jingyun will not hesitate to use China's biggest killer weapon in this world war: nuclear bomb!"

Although China is not yet able to mass-produce nuclear bombs, through the accumulation of several years, it has hoarded a lot of nuclear bomb raw materials and manufactured more than a dozen nuclear bombs, which are very effective as nuclear deterrence.

As time slowly passed, China's huge army units have gathered in the eastern part of the country, a large number of troops preparing to land in the Korean Peninsula, Shanghai, and many other coastal ports, the bomber units of the air force have also gathered in various air bases along the coast, and the navy has also drawn some forces from the Third Fleet and the Second Fleet to strengthen the First Fleet.

In June 1944, in the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Chen Jingyun and more than a dozen navy, land and air generals gathered together!

"Gentlemen, this battle is related to the country and the nation being able to truly complete the great cause of Chinese rejuvenation, and it is related to my Chinese century-old luck, and the important surnames are beyond my words, I think you all know it!" Chen Jingyun said slowly, and looked around at the people around him.

At the bottom of the document, Chen Jingyun hesitated for a while, and finally signed his name, the three words "Chen Jingyun" of the dragon flying and phoenix dance are like the god of death, and in the end they will bring countless lives and deaths to China and the two countries.

After officially signing this battle plan, Chen Jingyun said: "The detailed plan below is for you, Chief Zhao!" ”

After that, Zhao Zhike stood up below, General Zhao Zhike is also a relatively backward general in front of this group of military and political bigwigs, but his qualifications are deep enough, and his ability is also good, successively served as the deputy chief of operations of the General Staff, the commander of the Third Group Army, and was finally transferred to the General Staff by Chen Jingyun as the chief of the General Staff, and became a member of the Standing Committee of the State Military Commission for the first time, thus entering the real core decision-making class.

Zhao Zhike's face was grim, and he stood up and said: "According to the chairman's instructions and according to the discussion of the executive meeting of the State Military Commission, it was decided to establish the 'North Pacific Theater Command' under the jurisdiction of the Third Army of the Army, the Seventh Army of the Army, the Eighth Army of the Army, the Third Armored Group of the Army, the Third Artillery Army of the Army, and the Sixth Artillery Army of the Army. He is fully responsible for the landing operations on the mainland, including the Ryukyus!

The First Air Force, the Sixth Strategic Air Force, and the Seventh Strategic Air Force of the Air Force are responsible for coordinating the struggle for air supremacy and the strategic bombing! ”

Zhao Zhike paused, and then continued: "The South Pacific Theater Command has been established, which has jurisdiction over the First Army of the Army, the Ninth Army of the Army, the Fourth Armored Group of the Army, the Second Artillery Corps of the Army, and the Fourth Artillery Corps of the Army. He is fully responsible for ground operations against the Philippines, Malaysia, and the Indochina Peninsula.

The 3rd Air Force of the Air Force is responsible for air cover missions! ”

Although Zhao Zhike is only the chief of the General Staff, outsiders seem to be only the chief of the Army Staff, but in fact this is not the case, China's General Staff has developed into a joint staff of the navy, land and air forces over the years, although Zhao Zhike is only a general, but now he is worthy of the name of the supreme commander of China's navy, land and air force, although the following navy, land and air forces are fighting alone, but the cooperation between each other is coordinated by the General Staff, Even Guan Shijie, a naval boss, and Wu Shizhong, an air force boss, had to obey the strategic plan formulated by the General Staff.

"On the naval side, the First Fleet is responsible for participating in the struggle for sea supremacy in the waters around the homeland, striving to eliminate the remnants of the navy in a short period of time, covering the smooth landing of the landing force of the North Pacific Theater Command and providing air support in the initial stage of the landing!

The Second Fleet is responsible for operations in the South Pacific, but it should be noted that the Second Fleet should not intervene in the Java Sea, and the South Pacific Theater Command does not include Indonesia and Australia to avoid direct conflict with Britain and the United States! ”

So far, China has not reached a formal military alliance with Britain and the United States, and in fact China does not intend to reach such a relationship, because if it does, will China return it to the United States after it conquers the Philippines? Therefore, Chen Jingyun intends to create a fait accompli, and after conquering the Philippines, he will support the local people to read the power and establish a political axe, in an attempt to avoid direct conflict with the United States.

As a matter of fact, the above arrangements are all the established contents of the rejuvenation plan, and all of you here have already understood it, and the reason why this strategic meeting is being held today is, first, to formalize the rejuvenation plan, and second, Chen Jingyun is preparing to announce today's promotion to the first batch of marshals since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In China's naval, land and air force military rank system, the rank of marshal has long been there, but except for Chen Jingyun himself, it has never been awarded, and after the thirties, Chen Jingyun once again established the military rank of state marshal, and as a special military rank of the chairman of the State Military Commission, that is to say, this military rank is only awarded to Chen Jingyun. The main purpose of Chen Jingyun's establishment of the rank of marshal was to vacate the rank of marshal and confer it on his subordinate generals of the navy, army, and air force.

Since 1940, China has gone through several wars in order to commend meritorious soldiers, and has successively promoted several batches of generals, so far, the army has 36 army generals, 18 admirals, and nine air force generals, all of which are still active generals, and those reserve generals are not counted.

With so many generals, it is necessary to promote a higher level of marshal to be in charge of higher-level battles. For example, the North Pacific Theater Command and the South and South Pacific Theater Command established this time belong to the position of marshal.

Everyone here got the news, and they all vaguely guessed who the promotion would be this time.

For the promotion of senior generals, it has always been Chen Jingyun's patent, and Zhao Zhike, as the chief of staff, has no chance to interfere, so he immediately said: "Next, please ask the chairman to announce this promotion order!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded slightly, and then said: "Our army has set up a military marshal for decades, but it has never been awarded, and the weight of this marshal must be known to you." I hope that the gentlemen who have been promoted to marshals will be able to live up to the trust of the country and the nation and dedicate all their efforts to this national war! ”

The purpose of this promotion of marshals is not only to promote a group of marshals to take on higher-level commands, but also to boost the morale of senior generals! And the purpose of the latter is more important.

Chen Jingyun paused for a moment and said, "Today, Shen Gang, Xu Lishan, Chen Yi, Zuo Yugang, and Li Lianyang are appointed as field marshals. Conferring Guan Shijie and Wen Tinghe as Navy Marshals and Wu Shizhong as Air Force Marshals"

When Chen Jingyun's words fell, the people whose names were shouted were all full of smiles, although they themselves would be promoted to marshal a few months ago, but after the decision was made and announced at this time, they still couldn't stop the ecstasy in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jingyun personally conferred the titles on these eight China's first marshals.

In addition to conferring marshals on these eight active-duty generals, the State Military Commission also conferred the rank of marshal on several reserve generals, including Army General Yuan Fang, Army General Ma Cheng, Navy General Cheng Biguang, and Navy General Sa Zhenbing. At the same time, several deceased generals and marshals were posthumously awarded.

The sum of active duty, reserve and posthumous awards, the first batch of marshals in China was awarded fifteen.

Since a large number of marshals have been promoted in order to boost morale, it is also inevitable that a large number of major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals have been promoted, and the most striking thing is that Chen Jingyun promoted his eldest son Chen Huatian to army general and appointed him to the post of chief of staff of the North Pacific Theater Command.

At the same time, Chen Huajun, the second son who was originally favored by many generals in the military, was transferred by Chen Jingyun from the post of commander of the 18th Army and reappointed as the commander of the Siberian garrison.

For some, this news is more shocking than the news that China is about to declare war on Ben, because Chen Jingyun's move has almost confirmed the candidate for his heir, that is, Chen Huatian, the eldest son who has always been very moderate and is not favored by the military. And now that the candidate for the heir has been determined, in order to avoid infighting between Chen Huatian and Chen Huajun in the future, and to prevent Chen Huajun from taking advantage of his military advantage to carry out an armed mutiny, Chen Jingyun did not hesitate to suppress his second son.

Although they all say that their sons have meat on the palms and backs of their hands, but when it comes to the future of the country and the nation, Chen Jingyun has to be ruthless to suppress this second son, whose prestige in China can be compared with Chen Huatian.

Although the determination of Chen Jingyun's successor has caused great waves in the hearts of some people, this is only a small wave in the war that China is about to launch.

On June 23, 1944, in Pyongyang, North Korea, countless B11 and B16 bombers of the 78th Wing of the Fifth Strategic Air Force in the Chinese Air Base crowded this large airport, and countless ground crews were refueling and reloading these giant bombers.

In the huge conference room in the base, Air Force Lieutenant General Han Yantian looked at the top-secret telegram he had just received in his hand, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Gentlemen, the revival plan has been launched!" ”

Taiwan's Keelung Harbor, where many giant warships are crowded, aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers can be seen everywhere, and it is one of the main bases of the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy. In the headquarters of the First Fleet, Admiral Chen Shaokuan calmed the excitement in his heart and muttered: "After years of planning and waiting, this day has finally arrived!" ”

Putting down the top-secret telegram in his hand, Chen Shaokuan stood up: "Pass my order, the fleet will leave the port!" ”

In the port of Busan, in the 1st Marine Division of the Navy, Rear Admiral Luan Bianyun said to the adjutant with a calm face: "Order, the headquarters can board the ship!" ”

In countless places, many high-ranking generals of the navy, land and air force in China who have received top-secret orders have successively ordered their units to prepare and wait for the final combat order!

The Great War !!
