Chapter 928: Sunset Plan 1
readx; What is the fundamental purpose of Chen Jingyun's war against Yue? His most fundamental purpose is to push China's strategic defense line to the Pacific Ocean at least and establish a first island chain defense line, so as to ensure the absolute safe distance of domestic territory in a possible Sino-US war that may break out in the future, and to control the war in the unexpected waters of China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

In order to thoroughly ensure the security of domestic industry and the resources of the South Seas, China will be able to continuously produce a large number of aircraft carriers, aircraft and tanks in the Pacific Ocean and fight a global war with the United States on a global scale.
The establishment of the first island chain defense line is the fundamental purpose of Chen Jingyun's decision to declare war on this one!
In order to achieve this strategic goal, it is necessary to control Kalimantan, Peninsular Malaysia, the Philippines and the Ryukyus, so that a complete island defense line can be formed. Among them, the Philippine side has changed, and it has not been able to completely control the Philippines, but at least it has controlled Luzon Island in the north, Palawan Island in the west, and Mindoro Island and Karamyan Islands in the center, and has barely been able to build a strategic defense line in the South China Sea.
However, if there is an accident in the line, then it means that there is a big hole in this line of defense, and the US military can rely on the word "Ben" as a forward base to launch a large-scale air attack on the Chinese mainland, and the B29 bombers can even bomb China's most important industrial area in the Yangtze River Delta without even having the longest range.
Therefore, Chen Jingyun will never allow this country to fall into the hands of the Americans!
Since neither strategic bombing nor nuclear bombing can cause him to surrender, then he will completely kill the mainland and sweep the islands with ground troops, and I do not believe that he will be able to resist.
With this decision in mind, as when Chen Jingyun made a major decision in the past, he immediately convened a meeting of the State Military Commission without much hesitation, and then informed all the generals present of his decision.
Yes, the briefing!
Chen Jingyun has always maintained an arbitrary attitude on the matter of national strategic choice, and he is not allowed to interfere and oppose it! These generals do not need to consider the so-called national strategy, all they have to do is to complete the strategic tasks assigned by Chen Jingyun.
"In accordance with the chairman's instructions, led by the Army General Staff and coordinated by the Navy Operations Department and the Air Force General Staff, the landing operation plan was jointly drawn up, codenamed 'Luo Yue'.
According to the plan, the landing operation will be divided into three parts, the first part will be the landing on the island of Kyushu, and the landing operation will be under the overall responsibility of the Third Army dispatched by the Army's North Pacific Theater Command. The Navy will send three Marine Divisions to participate in the operation, and the first landing force will be composed of three Marine Divisions. ”
For example, the first wave of the landing operation is due to the need to rush to the beach, and the most effective and experienced in this is naturally among the five marine divisions of the navy, in the past few months, the five marine divisions of the navy have been mobilized very frequently, and they are widely active in the Ryukyu battlefield, the Philippine battlefield, Kalimantan Island and many island battles, and because the number of marine divisions is not large, Often, after participating in the first wave of beach-rushing operations, they will not continue to participate in the next operation, but will let the army units take charge of inland operations.
Therefore, to land on Kyushu Island, it is naturally most appropriate to send a marine division. And when the follow-up inland offensive was in charge, the First Army was in charge, which also realized the extreme importance of the people designated in the plan.
Why? Because this first army is the most powerful pure infantry army in the Chinese army. It can be seen from the numbers of division-level units under the jurisdiction of the First Army, the Fourth Infantry Division, the Seventh Infantry Division, and the Eighth Infantry Division. These three divisions are all in the top 10 troops, and their history can be traced back to the era of the military and political axes of Shangfuzhou. And there is a First Armored Army in the back, this First Armored Army is obviously not prominent, but the Ninth Infantry Division to which it belongs is famous, and the Ninth Division, known as China's first ace division, has always been the most powerful representative of China's ground forces!
Although it is said that "the terrain of this is not suitable for the deployment of heavy mechanized troops, it cannot be said that armored troops will not be dispatched because the terrain is not suitable!" Although traditionally, China's heavy armored forces have always been deployed in Siberia and Central Asia, and ordinary infantry divisions and a small number of light armored divisions have been deployed in Korea and the Indochina Peninsula, but with the continuous improvement of the level of military equipment of various countries, countries have begun to engage in tank combat in some complex areas.
For example, in the battle for many islands in the United States, although there are countless reasons to prove that tanks are not suitable for fighting in these areas, there are also countless reasons why the US military must invest in tank forces.
China also invested a large number of tank troops in the early Peninsular Campaign, the Philippine Campaign and even the Battle of Ryukyu Island, of which the tank battalions of various infantry divisions were the mainstay, and several armored units were also put into operation one after another. However, these armored units are all specially set up for the southern terrain, and the tanks attached to them are not the T15 or T18 tanks attached to the northern armored forces, but mainly the T16 tanks. For example, the 7th Armored Division and the 66th Infantry Division of the 8th Armored Army, of which the 7th Armored Division is a typical Southern Armored Division, mainly equipped with T16 tanks, and the 66th Infantry Division, which also exists as a mechanized infantry division, is also equipped with T16 tanks.
These two units are different from the First Armored Army, because the First Armored Army is a typical northern heavy mechanized army, equipped with the main tank T15 of the main force in northern China, and the Ninth Infantry Division is also equipped with the most advanced T18 tank in China.
Logically speaking, the T15 tank's weight of up to 35 tons is not suitable for fighting in complex terrain, but even if it is greatly affected by the terrain, the T15 tank can exert more powerful combat capabilities than other light tanks. As for the T18 tank, it was originally a remodeled version of the T15 tank, but because the surname could be improved, the army simply set up a new number, and with its 40-ton tonnage, it was even more unsuitable for going to the so-called "local formation."
However, if T15 or T18 is used, the cost is much higher than that of T16, and due to the limitations of the terrain, the surname can be improved, and the corresponding cost can be obtained. At present, in order to be able to quickly wipe out the so-called 'capital', the Chinese Army can be said to have made a bloody investment, and is no longer limited to the use of special southern troops, but has transferred elite troops stationed in the north all year round.
At present, more than half of the 13 armored divisions and nearly 20 mechanized infantry divisions of the Chinese Army are deployed in Siberia and Central Asia, and the rest are scattered in various hot spots in the country, including North Korea, the Indochina Peninsula, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, Northeast China, Mongolia and other regions.
After the declaration of war against the Chinese Army, the Chinese Army used basically all the troops that had been deployed in these areas, and whether it was to attack the Indonesian Islands, the Philippines, or the Ryukyus, they did not draw heavy troops from Siberia and Central Asia.
To some extent, at most, the Chinese army is using about one-third of its troops, and a large number of elite troops are still doing nothing. Even if it is said to be on the mainland, the Chinese army is expected to use about half of the troops at most, and if there are no great changes, such as a war with the United States, then China will not send heavy troops on the Western Front to participate in the war against China.
Now the transfer of a 1st Armored Army is already a transitional emphasis of the State Military Council!
Not to mention ordinary generals, even Chen Jingyun hoped that the First Armored Army, especially the Ninth Infantry Division under the First Armored Army, the number one ace division of the Chinese Army, would continue to exert its strongest combat effectiveness and lead the army units to sweep away the islands.
A large group of navy, land, and air generals in the conference room listened to the details of the plan, and in addition to the first part of the landing on Kyushu Island, there was also the second part of the landing on Honshu Island and the third part of the landing on the Northern Islands and Shikoku Island.
The plan can be said to be the largest battle ever launched by China!
In the first phase alone, more than one million naval, land, and air forces will be invested, and the interesting ground forces that will land directly will only be about 300,000, and even more will be naval and air force units to cooperate with the landing operation.
In addition, the First Air Force and the Sixth Strategic Air Force of the Air Force will deploy more than 8,000 fighters of various types, more than 6,000 strategic and tactical bombers, and other aircraft of all kinds. The navy will dispatch the second and fifth mobile fleets, and several coastal defense fleets will also cooperate with each other, and more than 20 aircraft carriers, four battleships, and five large cruisers will directly or indirectly participate in the operation, as well as more than 50 cruisers and nearly 200 destroyers. Then there will be up to about 100 escort destroyers, and more than 20 escort aircraft carriers will participate in subsequent sea transport escort missions.
To a certain extent, the first phase of the landing operation on Kyushu Island is actually a show by the navy and air force; as long as the air force can suppress and firmly control the air supremacy of Kyushu Island, as long as the navy can firmly control the sea supremacy of the East China Sea, the Tsushima Strait, and the Honko Sea, and cover the continuous arrival of transport fleets on the island of Kyushu, then the next thing will be a matter of course.
After the first stage, the army will increase its troops on a large scale, and then completely control Kyushu Island and then advance to Honshu Island, at this time, the role of the Navy and Air Force will be reduced, mainly to cooperate with the army's follow-up operations.
