Chapter 400: The Repercussions of Pearl Harbor
What a happy event! The little devils still attacked Pearl Harbor.
"Guards! Notify everyone of the meeting. Zhang Yunfei shouted happily outside the door.
Ten minutes later, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Liu Dazhu, Fang Zheng and other comrades all appeared in the conference room, and everyone happened to be in the headquarters, and as soon as they were notified, they immediately rushed to the conference room.
Recently, the development of the base area is good, and all aspects are changing every day, and everyone is relaxed and happy in their hearts, and it seems that everyone looks good, with ruddy faces and smiling faces.
The only thing that makes everyone regret is that they have been immersed in development in the past few months, and there is no war, and the various troops below seem to be unable to hold back, and often send telegrams to ask if there is a war to fight.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, as chief of the General Staff, knew this point best, and he would receive such telegrams almost every three or five days.
Today, the commander-in-chief hurriedly summoned everyone to a meeting, is there something important? Is there a combat mission? Many people thought so in their hearts.
Not long after everyone came to the conference room, Zhang Yunfei's figure also appeared.
After Zhang Yunfei sat down, he looked around at everyone, and Zhang Yunfei joked: "Comrades! Everyone seems to be doing well. Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and joked without hurrying: "Commander-in-chief, if we continue like this, we are all about to rust, and our comrades are all watching the war with their eyes?" ”
As soon as Comrade Zuo Qingquan finished speaking, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Dazhu also took over the conversation, "Commander-in-Chief, now that the training of various units has been completed, and the run-in is almost complete, it is time to take it to the battlefield for training." ”
Everyone began to express their opinions one after another, and the atmosphere was relaxed, more like chatting.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yunfei raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Zhang Yunfei said solemnly: "Comrades, I can understand your feelings, don't worry, we will have a big war soon, and everyone and comrades have opportunities." ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, and then told everyone about the little devil's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and his plan to prepare a large-scale counteroffensive.
Zhang Yunfei spoke in detail, and after talking for more than ten minutes, the comrades present were a little shocked at first, and slowly accepted the facts.
As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone immediately started talking and exchanging their opinions, after all, this is a big deal.
After a long time, everyone sighed one after another, the little devil really ate the leopard's gall, this time he touched the tiger's buttocks, as long as the United States and the little devil go to war, the situation in the entire Asian battlefield will be greatly improved.
Now, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly convened a meeting with everyone, not to make specific war arrangements, but mainly to inform everyone of the good news.
The specific operational plan still needs to be deduced by the General Staff of the Group Army, and then a more specific plan will be come up, and then it will be discussed again at a meeting, and then specific actions will be deployed.
Everyone communicated for a long time in the conference room, and Zhang Yunfei finally arranged two points of work, the first was to send a telegram to the various columns about the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by little devils, asking them to be ready for a big battle.
Second, of course, the General Staff Headquarters of the group army is required to do a good job in deducing the exercise and coming up with an operational plan, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the General Staff Officer, is specifically responsible for this matter, with the assistance of Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief.
When Zhang Yunfei and others were discussing related matters in the conference room, many people on the land of China already knew about this matter, and different forces showed different reactions.
As soon as the little devils in North China heard that their fleet had successfully attacked Pearl Harbor and had blown up so many US warships, aircraft carriers, and planes, all the little devils were inspired by confidence and swept away the decadence of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
Even the commander of the North China Front Army, Okamura Ningji, who was a little devil, was very excited, and after hearing the news, he actually gathered more than a dozen beautiful artists in his command headquarters, played music, and danced.
Okamura Ninji and a group of senior officers of the little devils watched the performance, talking and laughing, and the little devils all felt that the common prosperity of Greater East Asia was just around the corner, and many of the little devil officers kept shouting "Long live the emperor!" ”
Yucheng side.
As soon as Chairman Chiang heard the news, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly verified the news, and then sent a telegram of condolences to the United States.
Lao Chiang was a little worried that the United States had stopped aiding him after suffering such a big blow, and now, due to the loss of all arsenals, Lao Chiang had to rely on American assistance to hold on.
Most of the high-ranking generals of the Kuomintang, after hearing the news, were also full of worry like Lao Chiang, and only a very small number of generals were happy when they saw the little devil sneaking up on Pearl Harbor, thinking that it was the little devil looking for death.
Yan'an.
Hearing this news, many people's reaction was that this opportunity had come, and that Pearl Harbor would be attacked by surprise, and that the United States would definitely declare war on the United States, and that a large number of troops of the little devils would definitely be contained, and that this was great news for China's cause of resistance against Japan.
Soon after hearing the news, a three-member military group composed of the chairman, vice chairman Wu, and commander-in-chief in Yan'an immediately held a meeting to exchange preliminary views......
In the Pearl Harbor incident, at a very small cost, he sank and damaged three US aircraft carriers, a large number of capital ships, cruisers, destroyers, and dozens of other ships, causing tens of thousands of US casualties, dealing a devastating blow to the US Pacific Fleet, and inflicting the heaviest defeat in the history of the US Navy.
Internationally.
The United States, the country concerned, reacted immediately.
The U.S. Air Force's B-25 bomber formation immediately took off from Oregon Air Force Base and began searching the west coast for warships and submarines, but with bad luck it didn't find the man's own fleet.
The President of the United States immediately signed the Wartime Act and immediately made a speech announcing that he would fight against the war. Mobilization for war immediately took place in the United States, and the American people were also in high spirits, and large-scale demonstrations were held in various places.
The loss of three aircraft carriers has made the Americans really anxious, such a big loss has led to the basic annihilation of the entire Pacific Fleet, and even if the United States has a strong industrial base, I am afraid that it will take at least a year or two to restore the Pacific Fleet.
Germany and Italy, which heard the news, were also greatly pleased, and the two heads of state personally sent congratulatory telegrams to Emperor Komoto to congratulate them.
Britain and the Soviet Union, which were still resisting Germany, saw that the United States had suffered huge losses, and while they regretted it, they were also a little worried, especially Britain, worried that the United States would stop aiding and buying and selling arms to them.
Said in the country.
On the same day, the people of Ben held a huge parade to celebrate the great victory of their navy.
The Emperor of Komoto also personally made a speech in recognition of the great victory of the Combined Fleet. With the speech of Emperor Komoto, Yamamoto Fifty-six's prestige is like a great hero......
Zhang Yunfei could not have known the huge international repercussions so clearly, but as a traveler, Zhang Yunfei knew the historical significance of the Pearl Harbor incident very clearly.
Zhang Yunfei understands better than anyone else that the blow to the United States from the Pearl Harbor incident is only temporary, and Zhang Yunfei is not worried about the United States at all, and the United States will not be hit hard by this incident.
Although the losses were huge this time, the industry in the United States did not suffer a single loss, and the United States, with its strong industrial base, would only need a year or two for these lost warships to be remanufactured.
In history, it only took the United States a few dozen days to develop a Mustang fighter with a superior surname, but now this fighter was developed by Zhang Yunfei in advance.
As long as the war machine of the United States is activated, the little devils will not be able to stop it at all, and when the United States and the little devils fight, it will be Zhang Yunfei and the Chinese people who will ultimately benefit.
The impact of the Pearl Harbor incident is huge and far-reaching, but Zhang Yunfei can't take care of so much for the time being, and Zhang Yunfei's main plan at present is to counterattack North China.
A few days after the Pearl Harbor incident, a battle plan drawn up by the General Staff of the 36 th Group Army was placed on Zhang Yunfei's desk, and Zhang Yunfei picked up the detailed plan and looked at it carefully.
This plan was formulated reasonably and basically embodied Zhang Yunfei's will, but there was one point that Zhang Yunfei wanted to revise, that is, to make full use of his air force superiority.
Until now, the North China Front Army of the little devil has not been equipped with a large number of aircraft, and in the past, dozens of planes of the North China Front Army of the little devil were knocked out by Zhang Yunfei.
In order to prepare for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the planes produced by the little devils are mainly carrier-based aircraft, which are basically equipped with the navy.
At present, according to reliable intelligence, the entire North China Front is equipped with only 40 or 50 fighters, and the total number of bombers and transport planes is less than 100.
These planes were also scattered at several airfields in North China, and at the airfield in Peiping, a fighter squadron of 24 fighters was stationed, as well as a small number of bombers and transport aircraft, for a total of less than 50 aircraft. The remaining aircraft are stationed at Xuzhou Airport and Shijiazhuang Airport.
As for the 36 th Group Army, the two major aircraft factories have been operating at full capacity, and now they have nearly 200 Mustang fighters and more than 50 large transport planes, although the first aircraft of the strategic long-range bomber is still being trial-produced.
But with so many Mustang fighters, they have an overwhelming advantage, so Zhang Yunfei decided that since he wants to launch a large-scale counterattack this time, he must make full use of these air superiority......
