Nicholas II's premonition was absolutely correct. Taking advantage of the fact that the ice near Sakhalin Island was not yet frozen in the summer, the Imperial East China Sea Fleet raided Sakhalin Island, and the Temple Street Polar Bear Defense Line.k was first updated, and then the Imperial landing force carried out a forced landing.
, the unprepared polar bear defenders were defeated by naval guns, and Sakhalin and Temple Street returned to the Chinese Empire.
By the time the polar bear reinforcements arrived in Siberia, Temple Street, Valenboli, and Heihetun had already formed an imperial defense line that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. So Han Xianxiang divided the reinforcements into two parts, one part was entrenched in the Skovorodino defense area, and the other was
Part of them was dispatched to the Ayan defense area to achieve the purpose of cutting off the imperial army's sudden advance into Siberia.
The polar bear reinforcements did not attack the Wallen war zone, but stagnated. Zhang San was happy to relax, and the imperial defense line entered a temporary rest period.
The Imperial Ministry did not set the first target in northwest Kazakhstan or the northern border of Mongolia, but in the northeastern region, which is not of great strategic significance. Zhang San was very puzzled at the beginning, and waited until the polar bears increased their troops again.
Only then did he suddenly realize that this was a strategic necessity and a strategy to extend the enemy's logistical supply.
At this time, the total strength of polar bears in the Far East has far exceeded five million. It sounds like a lot at first, but when they are diluted into the thousands of kilometers of borders and the vastness and depth of Siberia, it becomes very small.
So pitiful.
Zhang San can guess the overall idea of the empire in the northern theater. Its principle is the same as the multi-point breakthrough he has used. Because the active attacker will never be as reasonable as the defender.
Divide your forces, use more force and make a breakthrough, and everything will be fine.
The Chinese Empire, which has the advantages of reconnaissance aircraft and Shenlong, will only consider reasonable attacks, and the location of each attack will definitely be the weakest link of the polar bear.
It is conceivable that through continuous oppressive multi-point attacks, the Empire's northern front killed a large number of soldiers and personnel, forcing Nicholas II to mobilize more troops to the Far East. In the future, the polar bears will definitely be exhausted and constantly consumed by the Imperial troops.
Its vitality eventually led to a complete collapse.
When the empire gradually advances to the Siberian Plains or the Polar Bear Plains in the future, the polar bears will collapse!
When Zhang San was thinking about the empire's strategic thinking on polar bears, the top brass within the empire were also discussing two major issues. One of them was the empire's northern theater strategy that Zhang San was considering, and the other was the empire's southern theater strategy.
The empire's northern theater strategy was similar to what Zhang San was thinking about. At Zhou Yu's suggestion, the empire's general staff was worried that the empire's logistics supplies would be attacked out of consideration for the low-temperature environment of polar bears and the strategic depth of millions of square kilometers.
Therefore, a steady advance and gradual encroachment are adopted to suppress the Polar Bear Empire's defense line.
As for the southern theater, Zhou Yu's idea is to capture the Strait of Malacca within the year and open up the Malacca Channel to pave the way for the continental war in the coming year.
Now that the John Bull Empire has declared war on the empire, the existence of the John Bull Empire's Malacca naval fleet and naval base has become a thorn in Zhou Yu's side. The empire no longer needs to be secretive, but is open and aboveboard.
The time has come to attack John Bull's Far East Fleet!
As the Minister of the Imperial Navy, Ye Fu stood in front of a huge military situation map and explained to the Imperial Emperor Zhou Yu, the Imperial Prime Minister Chen Xiru and others the overall operational thinking of the navy. Because the main goal this time was to target the distant fleet of the John Bull Empire. , and John Oxen Singapore Naval Base. Ye Fu still has some concerns about this:
"Our main targets this time are the Far East Fleet of the John Bull Empire and the John Bull Singapore Naval Base. Our Navy Department will dispatch the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet to encircle and annihilate John Bull's Far East Fleet. There is also Commander Zhang Long's Air Force. troops, and cooperate with Commander Ali’s Locust Bomber Force.”….
"But there is a question, that is, will the John Bull Far East Fleet leave the base to engage in a fierce battle with our naval fleet? If it does not leave the shore base, it will not be a good thing for our navy! After all, Singapore The naval base, run by John Bull, is like an iron bucket, water can’t be poured in!”
"The Emperor also said that we must seize the Malacca Passage within the year to pave the way for us to go out of Southeast Asia. But the problem is that once the opponent retreats to its 'old nest' and relies on coastal defense cannons for defense, our naval fleet will not be able to get close. ah!"
Zhang Long happily took up the topic and said: "Haha... Minister Ye Fu, have you forgotten that in addition to the air force of Commander Ali and I, there is also a naval aviation unit in the aircraft carrier formation of your Navy Department ~ Xiaolong Formation What?! We can just use the air force to force the other side to come out, why bother with this?!"
"Commander Zhang Long, I have also thought about what you said, but in the waters of Malacca and the South China Empire, the John Bull Empire has many submarines. Once the aircraft carrier is attacked, the consequences will be disastrous. In addition, the John Bull Empire is no better than the Polar Bear Empire. It now has a very complete air defense implementation and poses a considerable threat to the air force!"
Zhang Long said again: "That's okay. We can drop bombs outside the range of the John Bull anti-aircraft gun. Although the hit rate is lower, won't the air force be safer? But relatively speaking, for John Bull The threat of a solid fortress will be geometrically weakened."
Ye Fu opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu: "Minister Ye Fu, in this battle against the John Bull Empire's Singapore base, the air force will become the main force. This is necessary. I know you are worried about the enemy. fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns, and also concerned about the safety of the fleet and soldiers."
"But you don't need to worry about these, because for air force attacks, we have developed a new type of bomb ~ yun bomb, which has super destructive power for fortifications. In addition, in the southern theater near Malacca, an emergency It is recommended to build a temporary airfield to provide a transfer site for bombers during wartime."
"The task of your Navy Department is to ensure that John Bull's warships are not allowed to escape into the Southern Imperial Sea and threaten the safety of the Empire's coastal waterways. And since the seaport of Malacca is under the joint control of Uncle Sam and John Bull, your Navy Department does not have to Even if we block it, we won’t be able to block it.”
"In our battle against John Bull this time, not only the Navy Department and the Air Force Department, but also Commander Ali's Southern Army Department will also participate in the war. The main task of the Army is to successfully capture the John Bull Colony and prevent it from transferring supplies and Property at its best!”
