Chapter 694: Ryukyu Raiders 1
readx; Regarding the name of North Korea, this is not at all free from Chen Jingyun's bad taste, because the word Republic of Korea is not very comfortable to hear, and it is always easy for Chen Jingyun to think of the faces of those Koreans in later generations, so he secretly instructed Syngman Rhee not to use the word Republic of Korea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why Syngman Rhee used the term "Provisional Political Axe of the Republic of Korea" back then was mainly influenced by the term "Republic of China" before China's reunification, but now Chen Jingyun does not allow it to be used, and in order to show the attitude of following China closely, he learned the name of the Republic of Korea and chose the five characters of the Republic of Korea.
As soon as the Republic of Korea was proclaimed, the Liberation Army of the Republic of Korea officially became the national defense force of the Republic of Korea, and with the assistance of the Chinese troops stationed in the DPRK, it was quickly reorganized into five divisions. This was reorganized into a formal army, and naturally there was no need to have no equipment as in the guerrilla era, so China provided them with a large number of weapons in the mode of military aid.
Originally, the military planned to directly provide the North Koreans with a large number of seized weapons, but Chen Jingyun rejected this proposal in consideration of the issue of unified caliber.
For the caliber unification between the allies, Chen Jingyun is very important, the caliber of the Russian Defense Forces was also different from China in the early years, but in the following years, it has successively adopted the same standard equipment as China, and has achieved a unified caliber in light weapons, and because there are a lot of artillery in stock on the Russian side, so at present, Russia is 76 mm and 75 mm and 105 mm and 122 mm are used at the same time, in short, what is the use. However, this is limited to the stocks of weapons, and the new equipment is all Chinese-made equipment purchased from China.
For the DPRK National Defense Force, Chen Jingyun also intends to do the same, anyway, it is not for nothing, even if it is a loan that is used for military aid, the DPRK has to slowly use various mineral resources and even labor to repay the money.
In terms of light weapons, China's standard equipment is adopted, and the artillery is simple, and a part of the captured artillery of the Yue army is sold to them at a low price, because the 75 mm caliber artillery of the Yue army and the 75 mm caliber artillery of China are of the same caliber, and there is no difference in caliber at this point.
According to the current situation, China and the Republic of Russia and the newly established Republic of Korea are close military alliances, and neither the Republic of Russia nor the Republic of Korea has large-scale industrial power, and it is difficult for them to achieve self-sufficiency in weapons.
The Russian Republic has been working hard for almost a decade, but it has not been able to build a large-scale defense industry, with only a small production line of light weapons and ammunition, and basically depends on China for tanks, artillery and aircraft.
They all have to rely on China's industry to provide military equipment, and it also involves the problem of coordinated operations in the future, so it is very necessary to unify the caliber, and China must not establish a special production line for them during the war.
The establishment of the Republic of Korea was reasonable, but it still attracted opposition from the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries did not recognize the Republic of Korea for a while, which is completely different from the fact that the establishment of the Russian Republic was supported by the major countries in the world. Because the negotiations between China and China have not yet been fruitful, rashly recognizing the legal surname of the DPRK will put themselves on the opposite side of the Chinese language, which they do not want to see. At this time, they still wanted to support and say, 'Ben and China will continue to fight.'
After the establishment of Syngman Rhee's political axe, it was only recognized by China and Russia for the time being, but this did not affect China's dominant position on the Korean issue.
Although Kishishiro Bihara, who was in Shanghai, raised a serious objection to Gu Weijun because of this, what is the use of verbal opposition, if you have the ability, you can say, 'You can just log in to North Korea, if you can't, then you can't shake this fait accompli.'
Chen Jingyun did not stop his strategy because of the deadlock in the negotiations in Shanghai, and letting the DPRK establish itself was only the first step, and the next step was to step up his efforts and force Yuben to completely surrender at the negotiating table.
"In terms of the current situation, the victory of the DPRK will not make the "Ben" completely softened, and the three armed forces must further attack the confidence of the "Ben!" At the enlarged meeting of the State Military Commission, Chen Jingyun rarely put on his military uniform, and the gold peony flower on the epaulette of the rank of national marshal specially established for him was shining. Very early, Chen Jingyun promoted his military rank to marshal to avoid the same rank as his generals, and then Chen Jingyun considered that if a world war broke out, there would definitely be a marshal or first-class general above the general, so he once again set up his military rank as the marshal of the country, this rank was specially set up for him, and others would not obtain it. As for Chen Jingyun's envisioned military ranks of marshal or first-class general, they are still not established, and naturally no one will be able to obtain them for the time being, but that will be sooner or later.
The large conference room was filled with high-ranking generals from the Chinese side and a large number of high-level generals with real power in the military to discuss the next battle plan.
After the capture of Korea, the military operations of the Chinese army have largely stopped, and now the navy is engaged in sporadic battles with the navy, while the air force relies on the southern part of Korea as a base to seize air supremacy over the Tsushima Strait.
It was said that "almost all capable aircraft were collected and thrown into the skies over the Tsushima Strait."
Although the Chinese side has a great advantage in this kind of air war of attrition, it is still a little lacking in confidence in completely defeating the Chinese side, and for this reason the air force is already preparing to carry out a large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland.
As the boss of the three armed forces, the people of the army spoke first, and the representative of the army was naturally Shen Gang, chief of the general staff: "The army has been preparing for this issue for a long time, and at present, the 47th and 21st divisions have completed the relevant preparations for sea-crossing operations. As long as there is a demand, the army can put in troops at any time to participate in the sea-crossing landing operation! ”
Shen Gang did not say that he wanted to land there, this is not something that he alone or the army can decide unilaterally, the protagonist of the sea crossing operation must be the navy, so the specific landing there still needs the navy to take the idea.
In fact, if a large-scale landing operation is really carried out, then the vanguard of the first wave of landings will inevitably be the two marine brigades specially established for the sea-crossing landing operation, and the army can only land with the second wave of landing troops after the Marine brigade has established a beachhead and assume the main combat mission after the landing.
At this time, Cheng Biguang of the Navy also spoke: "At this stage, it is undoubtedly very difficult to land on the mainland! No matter how arrogant the navy is, it does not dare to say that it can cover the landing of hundreds of thousands of troops on the mainland, and if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people who have landed in the hundreds of thousands, it will basically not play much role, and it is estimated that they will be driven into the sea by hundreds of thousands of troops in the mainland within two days of landing.
Although Ben lost more than a dozen divisions of the army in Korea, leaving them wounded and wounded, he did not say that he had wiped out all the land forces, and said that Ben still had at least 10 or more standing divisions and regiments on the mainland, and there were also more than 20 divisions and regiments that had been urgently established. Since the defeat of Korea, the army has doubled in size in just two or three months, and now it has exceeded one million, and it is still growing in large numbers every day.
He said, "It is an industrial country, so its strength is worse than that of China, but the number of land forces that can be armed after full mobilization is still very considerable." Although this homeland defense plan is not as perverted as the 1945 plan for a decisive battle at home, the current China does not have the huge advantage of the US military in later generations.
Without more than 100,000 troops landing in the early stage and hundreds of thousands of troops landing in the future, it would be basically impossible to achieve anything in the landing on the mainland.
However, it is not a problem for the army to invest hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, and the First Army of Korea and the Second Army of the Northeast are enough to sweep the army itself. But the point is that the navy is not capable of sending so many army units to the mainland in a short period of time.
Although it is said that there has been no large-scale naval and air war, small-scale operations have been carried out at two ends in three days, and in the past few months, the Chinese navy has lost a lot of light ships, and it is said that the navy is not feeling well. The current naval situation is basically a state of war of attrition, with millions of ships costing millions and tens of millions of dollars sinking one after another, but it still can't affect the development of the war situation.
Until the main fleet of the navy is completely defeated, any proposal to land on the mainland is unrealistic.
The army is clear about this, and the navy itself is also aware of this, which is why Cheng Biguang said that it is very difficult to land on the mainland.
Chen Jingyun said: "Landing and saying, 'Let's discuss it later!'" Now our topic is how to force the Ben to give in in to the negotiations. ”
If China now lands on its own territory, I am afraid that Britain, France, and the United States will have to tear off their faces and directly support China, and with the support of these countries, it will be enough to drag China into a quagmire from which it cannot get out.
"The opinion of our navy is that if we want to put pressure on the Ryukyu Islands, then it is better to land and seize the Ryukyu Islands!" For this meeting, the navy is naturally prepared.
Immediately, Cheng Biguang personally stood up and walked to a huge 'East Asia map' next to him: "Chairman, colleagues, please see, the Ryukyu Islands are located in the southwest of China, directly east of Shanghai, China, and northeast of Taiwan. Judging from the distance between the sea, the distance between the two sides is about the same, and according to the reconnaissance information of the navy, it is said that the garrison on the Ryukyu Islands has about two divisions and a small number of garrisons, and the total number of people is about 50,000, but it is scattered on several islands. Even if we continue to send reinforcements to the Ryukyus in a short period of time, then the strength of the army on Ryukyu Island will not exceed 50,000! ”
On the occasion of the Upper Ryukyus, it is not important how strong the defenders are, what matters is whether the navy can control the air supremacy in the sea area and block the reinforcements from the mainland.
"Because it is far away from the mainland, even if there are undivided aircraft on the Ryukyus to participate in the war, but through the combat planes of the four aircraft carriers of our fleet, it will not be too much of a problem to destroy and suppress the aircraft on the Ryukyus, and without the support of the land-based air force on the Ryukyus, it will be difficult for the main fleet of the Ryukyus to have an advantage in the sea battle!"
"We can even take advantage of this situation and inflict heavy damage on the reinforcements called 'This main fleet!'" Cheng Biguang's words are the thoughts of the admiral.
The goal of the navy has always been to annihilate the main force of the navy, and if it lands in the Ryukyus, it will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to attract the main fleet of the navy, which has been hiding along the coast of the mainland, and when the time comes, with the help of four aircraft carriers in the Chinese navy, it will be very promising to inflict another heavy blow on the main fleet of the navy.
After Cheng Biguang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun also nodded, he was also quite supportive of the idea of the navy, but how to do it had to be carefully considered.
