As soon as Luo Yaoguo's remarks about destroying more than 10 million Japanese troops came out, the government officials in the entire conference room were buzzing and discussing, and everyone was exchanging opinions with each other, some for and against, but more were shocked! In this time and space, China has fought a lot of foreign wars, but it has not fought a real war to destroy the country, even if it is a war with the Soviet Union, it is just to support Empress Anastasia to restore the Romanov dynasty, not a real annihilation. Therefore, the losses suffered by the Chinese defense forces in the war were not very large, and the number of casualties before and after was less than 200,000, and as for the subsequent war with Britain and France, the losses were even more slight, with less than 20,000 casualties. As for the current Sino-Japanese war, none of the senior officials present here thought that it would be a real war to destroy the country, and everyone thought that as long as they grabbed the territory of Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, it would be over. These territories were far from the Japanese mainland, and as long as the Chinese navy could win, the land battle would not be fierce, and at most 200,000 men would be lost.

But now Luo Yaoguo has openly proposed that he is ready to destroy Japan, a neighbor with a strip of water, at the cost of 2 million casualties! How can it not be shocking?

Wang Jingwei and Vice President Sun Ke glanced at each other, and both shook their heads slightly to express concern. Sun Ke said loudly in Cantonese Mandarin: "After all, Japan is not a backward country like Vietnam and Siam, they have not been conquered by a foreign country since ancient times, and after the Meiji Restoration, they have a very high cohesion, and the whole country is united around the emperor alone, and it may not be easy to destroy Japan." President, my opinion is still aimed at defeating Japan and depriving it of all its colonies and overseas territories, and not to occupy Japan, let alone to destroy the Japanese nation. ”

As soon as Sun Ke's opinion came out, the government officials in the conference room actually nodded in agreement. Luo Yaoguo's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't expect that Sun Ke, the hardcore ally of the Luo family's uncle and nephew, and the successor of Luo Yiqun's presidential throne, would actually sing the opposite tune on this issue! He looks like a "dictator" in the cloak of democracy. After all, it is not a real dictatorship, and although the prestige is high, it does not make people feel afraid!

Of course, Luo Yaoguo also knew that Sun Ke, the eldest son, did not raise objections to his own policy out of selfishness, to be honest, there were not many people in the top echelons of the National Defense Force who really supported the strategy of destroying the Japanese nation, but Luo Yaoguo's prestige in the army was too high, and everyone did not dare to come forward to oppose it.

"Auxiliary text. I know that you don't really want to destroy the Japanese nation, but you just want to encourage morale and take this as a slogan. President Luo Yiqun has long seen everyone's performance, and he also knows that Luo Yaoguo's strategy is difficult to be accepted by these people, so he came out to play a round, he said with a smile: "However, the mobilization and training of 3 million reserve soldiers is still necessary, although it may not be used, but it is always prepared." As for Japan's post-war disposition, it is too early to discuss it, so it is better to wait until later. ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "Since the president has said it." So be it, Japan's post-war disposition will be said when the time comes, and for now we will concentrate on thinking about how to defeat this enemy, the president. There are still some military affairs waiting for me to take care of the General Staff there, and the military situation in the Yalu River is still very urgent, so I will retire from my post first. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Luo Yiqun goodbye. At today's meeting of the Presidential Palace, the post-war disposition of the destruction of Japan was not approved, but the motion to mobilize and train 3 million reservists was passed. As for what will happen to Japan in the end, it will depend on how far the war will go. Now that he is the Chief of the General Staff, the course of the war is not yet under his manipulation, and it is always not difficult to make Japan bleed!

When he returned to his own office in the General Staff. Deputy Chief of General Staff Yan Wu and Navy Minister Long Tenghui have been waiting for him there for a long time. Both of them were holding a thick stack of reports in their hands, all of which had just been sent by the Philippine Campaign Joint Command and the Beiyang Front. There are more accurate battle reports. There are also plans and instructions for the next combat operation.

Luo Yaoguo nodded to the two of them and said hello, then took the report and looked down. Yan Wu also took the map and spread it on his desk and explained to him: "On the Nanyang side, Commander Zhao and Commander Sun's suggestion is to carry out the Philippine landing operation as originally planned, and at the same time use the Philippines as a bait to force the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet to fight a decisive battle. After an afternoon of fighting, Chief Bai found that the Japanese army had assembled heavy troops south of the Yalu River, and the total number of troops might be as high as 500,000 to 800,000! If you want to fight from the front, I am afraid that the losses will be very heavy. Therefore, Commander Bai had an idea, that is, to use the main force of the Beiyang Front Army to assemble on the north bank of the Yalu River, and at the same time show the strength of our armored forces to the Japanese army, so that the two panzergrenadier divisions of the Fifth Army could attack in advance and drive the Japanese troops who had just established a beachhead on the north bank of the Yalu River down the river!

In this way, the main force of the Japanese army can be attracted to the Sino-Japanese border in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula to set up defenses and form a confrontation with our army. Our army, on the other hand, temporarily transferred the main forces of the South Ocean Fleet and the Western Ocean Fleet to the north, and used them to cover an elite army unit to find a suitable place to land in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, cut off the rear route of the Japanese troops in Korea, and completely encircled them in North Korea! ”

As soon as Yan Wu's words were finished, Navy Minister Long Tenghui stood up and echoed: "I think that Chief Bai's suggestion is completely feasible. At present, the Japanese navy has suffered a setback in the South Seas, and their land forces will inevitably change their original plans and move to defense. However, the terrain of the DPRK is mountainous, which is not conducive to the mechanized troops to exert their might, and if they want to occupy the Korean Peninsula inch by inch, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in fighting for a year or two and losing hundreds of thousands of people. It would be a good idea to use the navy to fight a surprise landing battle. ”

Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this Bai Chongxi to come up with a method similar to the Incheon landing to deal with the Japanese! He nodded, looked at Long Tenghui and said, "When will the navy be ready, and how many capital ships can be mobilized to participate in the battle?" ”

Long Tenghui smiled and said: "The main forces of the South and Western fleets have no losses in today's operations, and the navy can dispatch 11 aircraft carriers, three battleships, five armored ships, and four heavy cruisers at any time. And there are three ready-made marine divisions at their disposal, so the landing operation will definitely not fail. ”

"The Japanese strengthened the defenses of the west coast of Korea after the 9/18 War, right?" Luo Yaoguo asked.

Long Tenghui was stunned when he heard this, he, the Minister of the Navy, really didn't know about Japan's deployment on the west coast of Korea, he hurriedly looked up at Yan Wu, Yan Wu smiled and took the question. He replied: "Of course, the Japanese defense on the west coast of Korea is very strong, especially the coastal forts in Inchon and Gunsan, which may be ideal locations for the landing of large troops, with 356mm armored batteries deployed, a large number of mines in the harbor, and a regiment-level garrison of fortresses each. In addition, since September this year, the Japanese army has been expanding the fortifications of Inchon and Gunsan on a large scale, and the garrison is estimated to have been strengthened to more than one division. But such a defense is not a problem for us at all. The possibility of a failed landing of our troops on the west coast of the DPRK is almost non-existent! The key to Commander Bai's plan was not to land, but to attract as many main Japanese forces as possible to deploy on the south bank of the Yalu River. ”

"Okay, I can support this idea, the specific battle plan will be formulated by the Beiyang Front and the Admiralty, as for the plan to attract the main force of the Japanese army to the south bank of the Yalu River, the Beiyang Front can decide on its own, and if it requires the cooperation of the General Staff, it can be put forward."

As soon as Luo Yaoguo's words were finished, Yan Wu took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Luo Yaoguo with both hands, and said with a smile: "Teacher, Chief Bai has already proposed a preliminary plan to lure the enemy, in addition to the need to show the armored forces to the Japanese. It also needs the full cooperation of the Philippine Campaign Joint Command and the teacher. ”

"Do you want me to cooperate?" Luo Yaoguo was stunned, took the telegram in Yan Wu's hand and looked at it. He smiled and said, "Okay." My godbrother is getting more and more scheming, but since he can come up with this plan, of course I, as a brother, will have to fully cooperate.

Yan Wu, go and invite He Jingzhi to the General Staff to come to the General Staff, the day I leave, he will be in charge of the base camp. Also, let Jinzo Town go north with me. If the Korean Independence Army has any requirements, just tell me on the train. ”

October 19, 1939, was the third day of the Sino-Japanese war.

Wuhan Hanyang Railway Station. A blue-steel train is already on fire. The station is heavily guarded, the headquarters of the military police of the Wehrmacht. The Wuhan Garrison Headquarters dispatched officers and men with loaded guns and ammunition to drain the water around the station. A vote of civil and military officials of the Nationalist Government, celebrities from all walks of life in Wuhan, reporters sent by major newspapers in the capital, and non-commissioned officers and students of the Central Military Academy and the Junior Military Academy took their passes early in the morning and entered this military railway station, which had always been under the control of the National Defense Forces. Now they are crowded on the platform, looking in the direction of the waiting hall, as if they are waiting for someone.

It turned out that just yesterday, Marshal Luo Yaoguo, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, after studying the overall situation of the current Sino-Japanese war situation, decided to launch a large-scale offensive operation on the Yalu River line, which was gradually at risk of falling into a stalemate in confrontation, in order to completely defeat the so-called Japanese Kwantung Army and bring the entire Korean Peninsula under the control of the Chinese National Defense Forces! In order to ensure that the officers and men of all units participating in the "Yalu River Campaign" could devote themselves to the battle with the greatest enthusiasm and courage, Luo Yaoguo also asked the president to approve him to go north to Shenyang and personally supervise the decisive battle that would determine the national fortunes of China and Japan! As soon as the news was announced, Luo Yaoguo, the behind-the-scenes controller of the regime of the Republic of China and the founder of the National Defense Force, was going to go out in person, which immediately caused quite a stir in the three towns of Wuhan. It seems that the ** of this Sino-Japanese war is about to be staged on both sides of the Yalu River! Of course, the second end of the Japanese Kwantung Army will surely come soon.

Along with Luo Yaoguo, there were also Kim Zuo-jin, Ri Beom-sok, Yoon Zhi-young, and other leaders of the Korean Independence Army and the provisional government of the Republic of Korea, who had been in exile in China for more than 30 years, as well as more than 1,000 backbone members of the Korean Independence Army who had been trained by the Central Military Academy. When Luo Yiqun, Luo Yaoguo, Wang Jingwei and the three leaders of the North Korean independence movement who were smiling so hard that they couldn't even close their mouths appeared in front of the reporters' flashlights. The civil and military officials of the National Government and celebrities from all walks of life who came to see them off applauded warmly, and the non-commissioned officers and students of the Central Military Academy and the Junior Military Academy all shouted slogans and frantically waved the blue sky and white sun flags in their hands, especially those thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior military academy students were even more excited and tearful, desperately shouting "assistant commander" there, and I don't know what this guy deserves to be worshiped by these boys?

Looking at the green military uniforms on these children, the crazy worship revealed in their simple eyes, and the waves of cheers, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but think of a great leader in another time and space

"Fuwen, this time it's up to you to go to Shenyang. Victory is just around the corner, and I'm not worried about that. It's just that I have the same method of dealing with Japan after the war as Zhesheng (Sun Ke) and Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei), and it is always inappropriate to spare people and spare people, and it is always inappropriate to kill them all. Besides, if we kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 ourselves, if we really destroy more than 10 million Japanese soldiers, we will have to die in millions. Why is this so painful? Anyway, we already have enough land, and we don't care about the more than 300,000 square kilometers of little Japan, so let them go. ”

It was President Luo Yiqun who said this. He was originally a rotten and good man, and to put it nicely, it was called the wind of an elder, and to put it badly, it was the kindness of a woman. When he thought of the heavy price to be paid to destroy Japan, President Luo Da was reluctant in his heart, and he did not agree with Luo Yaoguo's view that Japan was a problem to his henchmen. In his opinion, a country like China, which is among the three major powers of the world, is simply not something that Japan, which is a small land, can threaten. The purpose of fighting this war with Japan is still to grab territory, and as long as the territory can be obtained, it really does not matter whether this country can be destroyed or not.

Luo Yaoguo naturally understood his uncle's thoughts, and this idea was not unreasonable. But Luo Yaoguo still tends to completely eliminate this poisonous snake lurking around China, so as not to be used by the United States or Germany as a chain to contain China in the future! But now is not the time to say that. He snapped a straight and gave Luo Yiqun a military salute: "Uncle, my nephew knows it." Please rest assured that in less than a month, the 1.8 million Japanese troops in Korea will be wiped out! Uncle, just wait for my good news. Then he shook hands with Wang Jingwei, who came to see him off, and turned around and got on the train

At the same time that Luo Yaoguo went north to supervise the division with great fanfare, the tranquility of Toad Tang Town in Andong County, Liaoning Province was suddenly broken by the rumbling roar of a motor. On the rushing road leading to the town from the hills to the north, there were fleets of assault guns, armored vehicles, half-tracks, and countless others sitting on these vehicles, wearing German steel helmets. A sturdy soldier in a camouflage combat uniform and holding a Min-25 automatic rifle!

Several jeeps pulled out of the town and headed for the armored vehicles. Hou Jingru and Liao Yunze sat in this jeep, they stayed in the headquarters of the Fifth Army for two days, observed the situation on the front line, felt that the Japanese had no hope of defeating the Kuomintang army, and then resigned to Sun Yuanliang and returned to Shenyang to continue to quietly contribute to the revolutionary work. As a result, as soon as the jeep they were riding in left Toad Pond Town, they encountered this mighty armored force.

Hou Jingru just looked at it for a moment and closed his eyes and ignored it, but Liao Yunze counted while watching, the entire armored convoy was lined up on the road for more than ten kilometers, and there were countless tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns, most of which were actually Liao Yunze, a general who had been a diplomat for more than ten years, had never seen them!

When their jeeps were far away from these tanks and armored vehicles, Hou Jingru gently pushed Liao Yunze beside him, and said lightly: "See, people have already prepared a killer plan." ”

"What kind of troops is that? So many tanks, it's an armored division, right? Liao Yunze said. He's been in South America for years, and he's never seen an armored division or anything like that.

"It's the Panzergrenadier Division, there are 24 of them, and the 10th Panzergrenadier Division of Chuvida and the 11th Panzergrenadier Division of Luo Zehong just passed. The two divisions had a total of four assault gun battalions, and if they were fully manned, there should be 240 assault guns No. 3 and No. 4! And in addition, more than a hundred self-propelled guns! Although the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the authentic armored division, it is more than enough to bully the Japanese beachhead on the side of the Yalu River! ”

"More than enough?" Liao Yunze sneered, "I think it's a knife to kill a chicken, those Japanese beachheads with a few infantry regiments are enough to clean up, how can this Sun Yuanliang dispatch armored troops?" Will there be a war? Or a highly talented student of the Army University! ”

Hou Jingru shook his head slightly, leaned over and said in Liao Yunze's ear: "These two armored grenadier divisions are personally controlled by Chief Bai, and they are not something that Sun Yuanliang can use. Now that he took out the knife and killed the chicken, he must have deliberately let the Japanese see it, and it is estimated that the Kuomintang is planning something again. When I return to Shenyang, I will go to the headquarters of the Beiyang Front Army to find out the news, and you go and contact Lao Yang and report the situation here. It seems that the Kuomintang is going to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese in Korea this time! ”
