The essence of blitzkrieg lies in speed. Try to avoid any fortifications that may affect the speed of the advance, and leave these things to the infantry behind to deal with them.
In fact, this combat mode also has serious hidden dangers, that is, it will cause the armor force to be disconnected from the infantry behind it. If the separated infantry cannot be eliminated quickly, it will cause considerable hidden dangers, and these hidden dangers will be superimposed.
The greater the depth of the country, the more loopholes will accumulate.
In the end, the blitzkrieg would collapse. This was also the reason why Germany's attack on the Soviet Union failed. However, it was enough to deal with a small country like North Korea. The Chinese tanks were soaring all the way and were simply unstoppable. After breaking through the Yalu River defense line, they advanced on the first day.
Eighty kilometers, and on the next day they advanced nearly a hundred kilometers. In fact, the Chinese team was only about 20 kilometers away from Pingzheng.
In other words, it would take less than half a day for the Chinese troops to appear in Pingcheng City. This speed made it impossible for the Japanese side to believe that they had already arranged several lines of defense. They wanted to delay the Chinese troops first, and then
To counterattack, Japan also equipped a lot of tanks, but most of them were destroyed by China during repeated battles on the Yalu River.
The things they designed were typically thin-skinned and full of fillings, vulnerable to attack, but having a tank was better than not having one at all. At this time, Japan was also stepping up domestic production, and the first batch of supplementary tanks had already been shipped to North Korea. However,
They never expected that the speed of the Chinese team would be so amazing.
It took two days to approach Pinghuang from the Yalu River, which was simply beyond everyone's imagination. Is this a mythical story? You must know that there is a distance of more than 200 kilometers between the two places, and there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers guarding it.
, these Japanese soldiers are not decorations, they are all lunatics armed with the spirit of Bushido. They don't take their own lives seriously at all. In order to deal with Chinese tanks, they can hold explosives to their death without hesitation.
Moreover, although the battle was fierce, few Japanese soldiers surrendered. They all fought to the end, which caused great trouble to the following Chinese infantry, but their bravery could not save Japan's fate.
A steady stream of Chinese New Year teams crossed the Yalu River and set foot on North Korea's territory, ruthlessly killing the Japanese soldiers who had been divided and surrounded. The Chinese troops armed with heavy artillery, aircraft, and tanks were unstoppable and completely one-sided.
There was a massacre, and Chinese armored troops had rushed into the midst of the massacre.
This kind of attack efficiency surprised China itself. Except for Qiao Yu, Jiang Baili and others were deeply attracted by this blitzkrieg mode. It was simply unexpected that the war could be carried out with such high efficiency.
"The president's method of flash warfare is indeed amazingly powerful. I think it will be easy to take down the entire North Korea at this speed!"
"Brother Baili, I think you are still too optimistic. No tactics are perfect. In fact, the terrain in North Korea is not suitable for large-scale tank operations. It is just that the section from Sinuiju to Pinghe is barely flat. If you go further south,
If we go there, there will be vast tracts of mountainous areas, which will greatly restrict the tank divisions, and Japan is not without any ability to fight back. If a large number of fortifications are built in the mountainous areas, I am worried that the tank troops will be in danger!"
"Since the President is worried that Japan will build fortifications, why not march quickly and drive these Japanese pirates into the sea before Japan takes action? In this way, the entire North Korea will be ours. General Lu Han can do it at his speed
Sweep the entire North Korea within a month!" Cao Jun made a suggestion on the side.
"Absolutely not!" Defense Minister Wu Tong hurriedly stopped him, "We can't drive the Japanese into the sea just yet. This will not do us any good."
Wu Tong's words suddenly surprised everyone else. How come there is no benefit to winning the battle? Could it be that the defense chief is confused!
Jiang Baili on the side nodded repeatedly, "Minister Wu is right. The key to this war lies in the sea. If China can break Japan's maritime hegemony, everything will be easy. If it fails to do this, let Japan
Occupying North Korea might not be an option!"
Wu Tong and Jiang Baili actually thought of going together. Naturally, the sooner an evil neighbor like Japan is eliminated, the better for China. However, China must also be aware of its own strength. The main force of the Chinese navy is now only the Qidian.
, relying on an aircraft carrier cannot complete the blockade of the island country anyway, and it is not enough to cover the landing of the Chinese army.
China's biggest hope this time is to break Japan's maritime hegemony and then take back Taiwan Island, so that the Chinese navy can have greater room for development. As for a complete settlement with Japan, it will have to wait until its naval power gains absolute superiority.
The Korean Peninsula is a side result. It is better if it can be occupied. It is not a big problem if it cannot be occupied. Moreover, if it cannot defeat Japan's navy, China will drive Japan out of North Korea, which will only allow Japan to focus on naval construction, which will be more important to China.
Unfortunately, retaining part of North Korea for the Japanese will only allow them to continuously send troops to the Korean Peninsula and consume more resources.
The Korean Peninsula is like a piece of bone. Once Japan bites it, China will gain the strategic initiative. In fact, this is the struggle between major powers. It is not necessary to blindly pursue greatness and perfection, but should focus on responding to the general trend.
Based on the competition, only by grasping the general trend can we win the strategic initiative.
As for the gains and losses of one city and one place, it is a trivial matter. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, pioneering pioneers is the most practical thing and the most exciting thing. However, after all, North Korea also has a thousand-year history of founding a country. If you want to turn such a country into a
It is very difficult for a country to swallow it in one gulp, just like Japan now, which has to face the endless wave of resistance from the North Koreans.
This kind of national grand strategic consideration is not something that everyone can understand, but Qiao Yu does not need everyone to understand it. It is enough as long as China's decision-makers do not make mistakes.
"Brother Baili, give Lu Han an order now. After he captures Pingzhuang, he should focus on consolidating the occupied areas and clearing out the remaining Japanese soldiers. Don't blindly expand the results of the war!"
Jiang Baili hurriedly agreed, but at this time Lu Han's tanks had already rushed outside Pingcheng City. After the Japanese occupied the entire North Korea, they indeed put a lot of effort into business, investing huge sums of money to improve North Korea's infrastructure and build railways.
The city was expanded and factories were built, and now Pinghuang is considered very prosperous.
However, Pingzhuang at this time was completely a scene of chaos. There were only two thousand Japanese soldiers in the whole city, and these people were also logistics troops. Pingzhuang was originally a logistics base that supplied the Yalu River defense line.
They didn't deploy too many troops, and Japan didn't believe that China could attack here.
By the time the Japanese found out, it was too late. They had no time to mobilize enough troops to fight against the chaos. They could only order the Japanese soldiers in the fight to defend as much as possible and summon all the Koreans who were loyal to the Japanese. However, these
It is difficult for a guy with little combat experience to play any role.
They didn't know how to use the weapons at hand, and when they saw the roar of Chinese tanks, they couldn't help but be afraid, their legs would become weak, and they had no courage to fight.
Lu Han had experienced what it meant to run away. It took only two days to break through the Yalu River defense line, but the momentum of the Japanese army had undergone earth-shaking changes. Before that, they had been able to resist crazily by the Yalu River at any cost.
But at this time, they could only flee in confusion, and these Japanese people had lost their original high spirits and turned into dead dogs.
Masters are like this, and North Korean slaves are even more unbearable. Biaosan tanks rushed into Pingcheng City at the lead, and the Japanese army's simple offensive was easily crushed. The powerful tank cannons easily destroyed anything in the way, no matter what.
People and buildings were sent flying into the sky and blown to pieces.
The peaceful city defense collapsed under the attack of the Chinese tank troops, and China took control of the city. Thirty-seven years had passed since the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895. The Chinese Communist Army had occupied this place back then.
Korea was still a vassal state of China, and then fell into the hands of the Japanese.
Time has passed, more than thirty years have passed, and the Chinese Army once again occupied this city. History seems to have made a joke to everyone. The last time it was the Chinese Army's crazy retreat, now it is indeed...
I fled in embarrassment, this is where the fun of history lies!
However, the occupation of Pinghui does not mean that the war is over. China still needs to consolidate its achievements. There are also hundreds of thousands of Japanese defeated troops that need to be cleaned up. If they cannot be captured, then they will have to be sent to the sky.
Follow the Great God.
Japan's colonial agencies must also be thoroughly cleaned up, but this kind of work does not need to be done by the Chinese. It can be left to Jin Jiu. Jin Jiu has already arrived in Pingping by plane. To Jin Jiu, it is like
It was like a dream. He had long been looking forward to the day when the country would be restored, but to be honest, Jin Jiu didn't know if he would be able to see that day.
But what was unexpected was that this moment came so early. The Chinese ** team swept North Korea with a devastating momentum. Now the Republic of Korea finally has its own territory and no longer has to live in China. It has received instructions from the Chinese side to let him accept it.
The regime in the occupied areas really made Jin Jiu overjoyed.
He hurried to Pingcheng and started working immediately, quickly cleaning up the garbage left by Japan, while China focused on military matters. After all, the war would continue.
Qiao Yu also received news about the occupation of Pingxing, but what made Qiao Yu even more excited was another piece of news from Tianjin. It turned out to be good news from Bayuzao's aircraft design team.
Bayumazao is a complete design genius. Compared to Feng Ru, Bayamazao has a more open mind and prefers to use new technologies. The Chinese corps has a large number of aircraft and has accumulated considerable experience. Wooden wings
The development of aircraft has almost reached a limit. The speed cannot exceed 200 kilometers, the bomb load is also very limited, and with each pair of increasingly powerful anti-aircraft firepower, the biplane can no longer adapt to the needs of war.
Bayama focused his attention on all-metal monoplanes. Monopters are faster, stronger and more stable, and can carry more ammunition. Especially since China has obtained aluminum alloy technology from Germany, it is very important to design a monoplane.
There has been enough accumulation of all-metal monoplanes.
After more than a year of hard work, Bayuzao finally completed this work that he devoted a lot of effort to. Qiao Yu was overjoyed after getting the news. Although this breakthrough came a bit late, if it had been a breakthrough before the war, the aircraft of the Chinese ** team
It will take another big step forward, but it is still pretty good now. If the production speed is fast enough, maybe we can catch up with the end of the war!
