Section 262 Submarine
"As a matter of fact, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Chief of Staff. The group of submarine soldiers in Germany is a foundation of our navy. If a big country wants to rise, it is not possible without a navy. No matter how powerful the army is, it is still a bit short-shot. Just look at the Germans. Although their country's navy is not good, they are still working hard to develop submarines. They must always have their own position on the ocean. Now the Germans' set is very suitable for us, so we must also vigorously develop submarines. So this time I have a goal, that is, Qinhuangdao." Mao Yuanshan said, pointing to a place on the map.
Jiang Baili frowned. It seemed that this battle was far from what Mao Yuanshan said. It would be enough to defeat the troops around Cheng De. If he wanted to occupy Qinhuangdao, he would have to fight the Kwantung Army and the North China Expeditionary Army.
If Qinhuangdao is in another location, it will probably be fine, but Qinhuangdao is located at the junction of the Kwantung Army and the North China Expeditionary Army. If you occupy this place, you will separate the two families so that they cannot take care of each other.
At present, all the Japanese devils in North China are approached by the Kwantung Army, and most of their supplies are transported from the Northeast. If this line is cut off, it will be disastrous for the Japanese.
The first one is that all the supplies of the 200,000 North China Expeditionary Force will be transported from Japan, which will be a very severe test for Japan's shipping. Now all the Japanese merchant ships have been basically used, but they are all supporting the Central China Expeditionary Force.
Because the North China Expeditionary Army has provided support to the Eastern Army, it is enough to only occupy a share of more than 10%. If they cut off their contact with the Kwantung Army, the task will be more than doubled at once.
But if we don’t occupy this place, it would be a dream to have an outlet. Mao Yuanshan said that this matter is also a serious matter. Every big country in the world is a maritime power, so there is no need to say about the British Empire. Until now, although many people say that the British Empire has declined, it is undeniable that their navy is still the world’s number one in tonnage, but it is just that it is somewhat unable to catch up with the Americans in terms of advanced nature.
If you want to have your own dominant position in the world, you must develop your own navy. If you don’t even have a port, how can you talk about your own navy? Mao Yuanshan’s strategy is also very correct. If you vigorously develop surface ships now, you do not have the ability, and even if you develop, you will not have enough estuaries.
Now is just the beginning, just develop submarines like the Germans. Although the submarines don’t look very good, they are very practical. They are ambushed between Japan and China, and there is absolutely no problem in attacking Japanese troop transport ships.
Moreover, Mao Yuanshan accepted a mission before that as long as these submarine soldiers could graduate and return to China, he could unlock the latest German U-type submarine, which was the 1944 model, not the current model.
In fact, let alone the 1944 model, even the current model, German submarines are the world's leading ones. Relying on the skills of the Japanese devils, it is simply a dream to dig out the German submarine. The British Empire's technology is much more advanced than that of the Japanese devils, and they have suffered such a big loss under the German submarines, let alone you little devils.
"But have you ever thought about it? If you really want to capture this city, the North China Expeditionary Army and the Kwantung Army will fight to the death to attack us. At that time, we will face nearly 600,000 Japanese devils. The combat effectiveness of the North China Expeditionary Army may be a little weak, but the Kwantung Army is all elite troops. With our current military capabilities, we cannot resist these 600,000 Japanese devils." Although Mr. Jiang Baili also wanted to have a submarine force, which belongs to the submarine force of China, it is too tempting for any soldier, but the current situation does not allow you to challenge the two strong men at all.
"This is indeed a question, and I have considered it. Otherwise, I would have issued a combat mission directly at the meeting just now. Through this battle of Cheng De's recovery, I also want to see how powerful the Kwantung Army is." Mao Yuanshan considered that the Kwantung Army has always been the flower of the Japanese Army, and there are countless people boasting about their combat effectiveness everywhere. How many combat capabilities do they have are still unknown!
"According to my understanding, if it is against the North China Expeditionary Army, our army can fight three at one time, if it is against the Central China Expeditionary Army, it can fight two and a half. If it is against the Kwantung Army, it would be nice to fight one at one." There are only two people here, so Mr. Baili would not go around the corner. He has been in Japan for many years and has investigated various Japanese armies for many years. What he said is basically authoritative.
Mao Yuanshan’s understanding of the Kwantung Army was that when the Second World War was about to end, the Soviet army killed the 700,000 Kwantung Army in just over a dozen days after entering the Northeast region, so he looked down on the Kwantung Army in his heart. However, the Kwantung Army at this time was completely different from the Kwantung Army at that time. At this time, all the Kwantung Army were elite troops. At that time, all the elite troops of the Kwantung Army were dispatched south, and the rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Although there were 700,000, they did not have the combat effectiveness. Most of them were recruited from some retired soldiers in the Northeast. The combat effectiveness was actually not strong.
"Since that's the case, we will first formulate a two-stage combat plan. The first stage of combat plan is announced at the meeting just now, to seize Cheng De, defeat their 200,000 troops, and then recover the entire Rehe River. The second stage of plan is to occupy Qinhuangdao. The second stage of plan must be discussed in a long-term way. Let's analyze the specific situation at that time!" Mao Yuanshan thought for a while and adopted a relatively compromise policy. After all, he is not familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, and he doesn't know if the Rehe Front Army really told them that these troops can be defeated. If they can't beat others, don't waste your saliva in this second stage.
