At Liu Hua's suggestion and after the preliminary decision of the top military trio, the entire expeditionary force was divided into two front armies, one and two. The first front army, as the main force attacking the Japanese mainland, was personally commanded by Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua.
.At the same time, Zuo Quan, the current commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, was appointed as the chief of staff of the First Front Army. They jointly commanded the First Front Army, crossed the sea, landed on the Japanese mainland, and swept across the Japanese island.
The Second Front Army, as an auxiliary force, launched a direct attack on the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea from the three eastern provinces and launched a military operation to recover North Korea. This army was undoubtedly led by the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, who was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Commander Liu Bocheng.
Full command. Within half a month, launch a military operation against the Japanese army in Korea.
Because the two bosses had given full authority over the campaign command to Liu Hua, all matters related to the establishment of the first front army, the main force of the expeditionary force, unsurprisingly fell into Liu Hua's hands.
In order to keep the entire military operation confidential for the time being, the central government did not organize any farewell. Liu Hua, who had just attended the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, took a military plane directly to Shanghai, where the Expeditionary Force's First Front Army was assembled.
As the largest city in Asia, coupled with the continuous development of the Japanese invading army, Shanghai as a whole has not been affected by the war, but has become more prosperous. As for Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, this is also the first time he has entered Shanghai, a city full of modernity.
A breathtaking metropolis.
As the dark night slowly enveloped the city, Shanghai, known as the city that never sleeps, did not fall directly into darkness like some cities in the mainland. Instead, it was brightly illuminated by various neon lights and street lights. The crisscrossing streets
, the number of carriages, horses and pedestrians not only did not decrease, but actually increased a lot.
However, facing the bustling Shanghai beach, Liu Hua did not have any extra time to experience it. As soon as he stepped off the military plane, he was greeted by his old partner Zuo Quan and walked into the garrison headquarters in Shanghai, which is the temporary headquarters of the expeditionary force.
.
"Chief of Staff, how did you complete the task I gave you in the telegram?" Liu Hua walked into his office and asked Zuo Quan directly behind him.
"Vice Chairman, the Special Forces Division is an old force brought out by you. I believe that you, the old leader, know their combat effectiveness best. After layers of selection, 500 elite troops have been assembled. They are all staying at the Shanghai Navy Port. They are available at any time.
You can go…”
"Very good... The latest information obtained by the intelligence department shows that the resistance organizations in Japan are just like us, and they are all affiliated to different countries. Therefore, we must clearly tell these team members that after landing on the island.
Get in touch with these people. At the same time, use your own ability to provide necessary help to these resistance organizations as much as possible. Of course, if possible, you must find a way to control the military power of these resistance organizations. The chairman said, 'What emerges from the barrel of a gun
Only when the political power has military power in its hands can these resistance organizations be better used by me..." Liu Hua ordered.
"Everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained. Even the small details, as long as they are something we can consider, have been taken into consideration. I am just waiting for the Vice Chairman to issue the final departure order. I believe that these five hundred elite
, will definitely bring us unexpected results..." Zuo Quan, who personally took over this task, assured Liu Hua with a confident look on his face.
"In this case, I will officially issue the first combat order from the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters: the advance detachment will set off immediately in ten minutes, taking advantage of the darkness, and the East China Sea Fleet will be responsible for secretly escorting it to the sea off Japan. The mission is completed.
From now on, the fleet will return immediately. At the same time, the intelligence agencies in Japan are ordered to be ready to respond. At all costs, ensure that these 500 elites successfully land on Japan."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Zuo Quan replied readily.
As the order was issued, five hundred special warfare elites, escorted by a destroyer, slowly left the Shanghai Navy Port. At this moment, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan had already conveyed their conversation.
The topic turned to the specific formation of the expeditionary force and the coordination of various arms.
Liu Hua, who has done some research on the history of World War II, clearly knows how crazy the Japanese were in this era, especially the Japanese soldiers who had been brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido. If nothing else, it is from the history that the Japanese army faced defeat and spontaneously formed
"Kamikaze" can be seen as general.
But now, leading his troops to attack the Japanese mainland is tantamount to directly killing their lives. Liu Hua can imagine what kind of bloody blow his landing troops will suffer from the Japanese army after they reach the coast of Japan. Of course, this kind of blow
Also included were suicide attacks by Japanese troops.
Now that he has been reborn, and has the opportunity to personally lead the army to kill the Japanese mainland, Liu Hua will certainly not let the Japanese kamikaze attack on the Allied forces happen to him again, and let his troops suffer the disgrace of Sino-Japanese War.
A heavy price was paid for this.
In the face of possible suicide attacks by the Japanese army, especially kamikaze attacks from the air.
The naval cruiser, which had a slow sailing speed and a large impact area, was directly eliminated by Liu Hua. The destroyer, which was superior in both reaction speed and sailing speed, became Liu Hua's first choice target for this operation. More important
Yes, the destroyer has a long and narrow hull. As long as it is in motion, the probability of a Japanese suicide plane hitting is almost zero. Coupled with its strong anti-aircraft firepower and powerful enough naval guns, Liu Hua believes that as long as he gives himself fifteen destroyers
, which is enough to ensure the air safety of the entire sea-crossing army.
Under Liu Hua's order, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Navy totaled one medium-sized aircraft carrier, 15 destroyers, 30 new torpedo boats, 50 landing craft, and 10 10,000-ton transport ships. In the shortest possible time, they carried out operations at the upper naval port.
Assemble.
As for the Air Force, in addition to the two aircraft carrier-based air groups carried by the medium-sized aircraft carrier, the first and second aviation divisions, the most elite in the country, also quickly moved to the nearby Shandong Dalian Military Airport.
As for the Army, the Sixth and Seventh Corps of the East China Field Army, which have conducted cross-sea landing operations, the Guard Column, and the First and Second Armored Tank Divisions directly under the Central Military Commission, totaling 350,000 troops, use various means of transportation to
Quickly move towards the final assembly point, Shanghai….
After listening to a series of orders from Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, and seeing the look of confidence on Liu Hua's face. As an old partner, Zuo Quan, from a cautious point of view, still asked with an uneasy look on his face: "Mr.
Commander, are 350,000 troops too few? You know, in order to regain Taiwan Island, we used a full 300,000 troops. And what we are about to face is the Japanese mainland and the people of the entire island.
, are all our enemies..."
"Having said that, don't forget one fact. The Japanese Tenth Front Army that is holding on to Taiwan Island is a group of veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is comparable to the field army of the same strength as mine. And the Japanese Army that is guarding Taiwan Island is a group of veterans.
Where are the Japanese troops in Japan?"
"According to intelligence, in order to win the Pacific War, the Japanese government has devoted all its national resources, including domestic human resources. As a large number of new troops are continuously sent into the meat grinder of the Pacific battlefield, the total strength of Japan's domestic military
, has dropped sharply from the original five divisions of 150,000 people to 100,000 people. Among these 100,000 people, the only one with real combat effectiveness is the Guards Division stationed in Tokyo City, with a total of 30,000 troops.
As for the other field troops and local garrison troops, they are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or they are new recruits who have just shown signs..."
"In terms of weapons, all kinds of weapons coming out of the Japanese arsenal were transported to the Pacific battlefield almost immediately. Even the rifles used for training domestic recruits were sent to the battlefield. These things can not only be seen from the continuous flow of
Please take care to know that just based on the inferior equipment of the Japanese army in Taiwan when we attacked Taiwan, especially the air force equipment, we can clearly infer the equipment situation of the Japanese mainland army."
"Chief of Staff, in general, apart from one Guards Division, the Japanese troops stationed in Japan are all a bunch of ragtag groups. And what we need to be prepared for is the possibility of trapped beasts by the Japanese army.
Fighting, especially the suicide attack that the Japanese are very good at..."
"More importantly, don't forget the order we just issued. In Japan, we still have internal response... 500 elite special operations forces, plus the domestic resistance organizations in Japan, are enough to pull out the enemy within a month.
We must send out a force that can influence Japan's political situation. And with the cooperation of this internal response force, the pressure we need to face will be reduced by part of it."
"As for the ordinary people in Japan you mentioned. Given the current bad situation in Japan and the propaganda of the Communist Party in Japan, if we can get rid of Japan's current cabinet as soon as possible and re-form a new cabinet composed of Japanese people,
Cabinet. I can say with certainty that these hot-blooded people will not only not resist us, but will also welcome us."
"So, I can say with certainty that as long as we can successfully land on the Japanese mainland, an army of 350,000, plus two elite armored divisions, will be enough to sweep across the entire Japanese island..." Liu Hua replied with confidence.
"Commander-in-Chief, no matter what time, you will give people unexpected ideas and suggestions. I have to admit that I was defeated by you again. I completely agree with the organization plan just now. I suggest that on the one hand, we should immediately
The army formation plan will be submitted to the Military Commission for filing..." Looking at Liu Hua in front of him, Zuo Quan felt aggrieved and couldn't help but said with a wry smile.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, these matters are your Chief of Staff's business. And I am only responsible for deciding the final implementation plan..." Liu Hua said with a smile.
In this way, the First Front of the Chinese Expeditionary Force for Landing in Japan was formally established under the research of Liu Hua, Zuo Quan and others.
