Although Hu Weidong had successfully used stratagem to teach the Japanese navy a hard lesson here and recaptured Weihai Weijun Port shortly thereafter, it was unusually difficult to make use of this port city and repair the port facilities, because Japanese planes could attack from all directions, and Weihai was not only far away from Qingdao, the key point of air defense, but also needed to guard against enemy planes attacking from multiple directions, which was too passive. The several airfields that Hu Weidong tried to build near Weihai were bombed by Japanese planes before they were built, and as for Weihai Weijun Port itself, Hu Weidong did not dare to rashly let the warships station, which would be tantamount to taking the initiative to be used as a target for the devils to bomb

The 15 th Group Army was unable to make use of Weihaiwei Military Port, and the devils were intimidated by the threat of the Sino-Soviet aviation forces and the strong strength of the 15 th Group Army on land, and they never dared to land Shandong from the sea again. This situation naturally made Hu Weidong very depressed, so now he thought of suggesting to the central government that the Soviet fleet should be stationed in Weihaiwei Military Port, hoping to use the Soviet Union as a shield so that the devils would no longer dare to wantonly send planes to frequently harass Weihaiwei and other places, and when a sufficient number of airports were built in Weihaiwei and Yantai, the planes purchased and built by the border areas should also be equipped with troops one after another, and then it would be difficult for the devils to show off their might in this area, and at the same time, Weihaiwei, which is closest to the Japanese mainland, has instead become a forward position that threatens Luda, North Korea, and even the Japanese mainland.

For the time being, after the Soviet fleet is stationed in Weihaiwei, the devils who have always been extremely jealous of the Soviets will inevitably be attracted to most of their attention, and they may even not dare to send ships or planes to Shandong to make trouble because they are afraid of getting into trouble with the Soviet troops. In any case, there is no doubt that the pressure on Qingdao will be greatly reduced, and this will naturally be of great benefit to the construction of the Qingdao naval base. And if Japan and the Soviet Union really accidentally misfired, Hu Weidong would naturally be even happier

Although the great man was very wary of the Soviet Union in his heart, he was not an inflexible person. The other leaders of the Central Committee were relatively closer to the Soviet Union, so Hu Weidong's proposal was quickly approved by the Central Committee. Although Stalin may not have guessed the hidden purpose, he readily agreed to this suggestion out of confidence in the strength of the Soviet Union, contempt for the power of Japan, and a desperate desire for ice-free ports in the Far East.

Hu Weidong's plan is not so much a conspiracy. It's better to say that it is Yangmou, which is largely thanks to the great man's inadvertent words and deeds, but compared with Taizu, a real Yangmou expert who has not been met in a hundred years. Hu Weidong is still a little short of the boss. Taizu's Yang conspiracy is the highest level, which means that even if the enemy knows about it, he can't think of a way to crack it, and this inability to crack it is absolute (of course, this does not mean that he will win, but it just means that he can always use Yang Mou to make the enemy act according to the trajectory he expects. ）； However, Hu Weidong's conspiracy is a little worse, he uses the weaknesses of human nature, such as greed, luck, conceit, etc., so that the enemy knows that the bait is poisonous but still can't help but swallow it. Although it is also very clever, if you don't understand the enemy fully and accurately, it will inevitably make mistakes when you use it, after all, the human heart is the most complicated thing on shijie, but because Hu Weidong is a traverser. Few people can compare to his knowledge of historical figures, so his second-class conspiracy can often play the effectiveness of the first-class conspiratory

The Soviet Pacific Fleet's stationing in Weihaiwei not only posed a direct threat to Japan's national security, but also cut off the sea supply lines of Japan's North China Front to a certain extent (Note 1), and it was even more blatant humiliation for the Japanese Navy, which considered itself the dominant maritime power in the Far East. At the same time, the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy and other Western powers all regard the Soviet Union as a thorn in their side, and they will definitely support Japan once they really fight, although it is probably that the United States, Britain and Germany can come up with a little real money or the resources and jishu that Japan urgently needs, but it is enough to prompt the Japanese Navy to make up its mind, as for whether the Soviet Union will vent its anger with the Japanese Army because of this? The bigwigs of the navy don't care so much, it has been the army pit the navy for so many years, can't the navy pit the army once?

But having said that, the Soviet Pacific Fleet also has some strength, especially after getting those two battleships, while the four aircraft carriers of the Japanese Combined Fleet and a number of other ships are still under repair, and the number and quality of ships that can be fought at present are not overwhelmingly superior, and the land-based aircraft of the Navy also need to be transferred, and there are still too few available airfields, at least until all the field airfields in Luda and other places are completed. If you had struck hastily before that, you might not only fall short, but also surprise the snake, and for this reason the Japanese once again showed the perseverance of this nation, which is deeply rooted in the bones

Although the contradictions between Japan and the Soviet Union are becoming increasingly intensified, for the time being, China can only rely mainly on its own Liliang to resist Japan, and although the large-scale attack of the Japanese army in Xuzhou on the canal defense line of the 15th Group Army has suffered a shameful failure, the devil has prepared a corresponding plan for every possible situation before the campaign is launched, and the commander-in-chief of the Central China Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata believes that although the attack is not smooth, it has successfully contained the main force of the 15th Group Army, So he immediately sent the 11th Army, which had long been ready to go out, to march westward along the Longhai Railway at full speed, and the front of the troops was directly aimed at the Lanfeng defense line guarded by more than 100,000 national troops.

At this time, the 11th Army had 3 permanent divisions, 5 ad hoc divisions, and 2 independent mixed brigades, and before the war, it also specially strengthened 1 tank division and 1 newly formed anti-aircraft artillery division, all of which were fully manned, with a total strength of about 250,000 people, and its strength was much stronger than that of the same period in history, but the strength of 250,000 troops was still much less than the estimate of the 15th Group Army Headquarters. In the past, it was at most 100,000 people, and this time it was a long-distance attack that was very difficult, so I didn't dare to play too big at once

Note 1: Theoretically, as long as Japan and the Soviet Union did not start fighting, Japanese supply ships could pass through the Bohai Strait, but the Soviets had no discipline like the devils, and who knew if they would suddenly attack? There have never been many transport ships in Japan, so how dare they take such a risk? This incident also led Japan to increase its efforts to build and even purchase transport ships (to be continued). )
