On December 19, Xie Rundong led the fleet to the waters off the Ryukyu Islands.
The main island of the Ryukyu Islands is Okinawa in another time and space. Needless to say, it was important to the Republic of China. For Lanfang, it was just a pebble on the way north.
Xie Rundong didn't want to waste too much time here, so when he arrived at the Ryukyu Islands, he just ordered the destroyers to go forward and sink all the ships in the Ryukyu Island port.
Commander, let us Marines come forward. I promise to clear all military forces on the island and ensure that the tricolor flag is flying high in every corner of Ryukyu. Xu Zhenpeng is here again to increase his presence.
Xie Rundong still gave Xu Zhenpeng a strange look, and then said coldly: OK, you go ahead, but let me tell you, the fleet is only here for this trip, and there will be no follow-up support after you land.
Xu Zhenpeng was stunned.
Xie Rundong was right. The advice given by the staff was to sink all Japanese ships and then go straight to Yokosuka.
This tactic was actually carried forward during World War II and was named the leapfrog tactic.
The core of leapfrog tactics is to win without fighting.
In World War II, MacArthur led the U.S. military and the Japanese in a fierce battle in the Pacific. The war was so intense that every inch of land was fought to the death. In order to fight back to the Philippines as soon as possible, MacArthur implemented the leap-frog tactic in the Pacific.
This leap-frog tactic, to be honest, is actually nothing unusual. It means sinking all Japanese ships, completely cutting off the Japanese logistics transportation, and then leaving the Japanese to fend for themselves.
Under the premise that the United States had complete control of its territorial waters and airspace at the time, MacArthur had the capital to implement this tactic.
The same goes for Lanfang. The Japanese combined fleet has now been destroyed and is powerless to control the sea. At the same time, the Japanese army has no air force at all and can only watch Lanfang's air force act recklessly and be powerless.
Therefore, Lanfang now has the conditions to implement the leapfrog strategy.
Naturally, Xie Rundong didn't have any sympathy at all. Anyway, the people who died were all Japanese, and the more they died, the better.
Hey, I'm going to calm down the soldiers. When Xu Zhenpeng heard what Xie Rundong said, he immediately ran away.
So France finally found the opportunity to dominate, and Yang Jinqiu, the captain of France, almost burst into tears.
Yang Jinqiu has really felt aggrieved recently. Once upon a time, when Yang Jinqiu, who had served in the French Navy, was promoted to captain of the France, Yang Jinqiu was also very ambitious and wanted to do something to repay Qin Zhiyuan's kindness.
.
After Lanfang declared war on Japan, Yang Jinqiu almost thought that the France would finally show off its skills. Unfortunately, since Lanfang declared war on Japan, the France had become a key protection target and had no chance to go to the battlefield. She could only hide in
Camlan Bay serves as a mascot, which makes Yang Jinqiu feel heartbroken.
Fortunately, the Lanfang Air Force destroyed the Japanese combined fleet, and the France finally got a chance to play. This made Yang Jinqiu feel as excited as a tiger out of its cage, but the battle at Keelung Port was another blow to Yang Jinqiu.
Lanfang is the only battleship. This sounds like a tall and noble existence, but in fact, there is no chance to participate in the war. Well, the Lanfang Air Force has taken care of all the battles. Well, the France has become the largest tonnage of the Northern Expedition Fleet.
Destroyer, okay?
Yang Jinqiu's mood is really indescribable to outsiders.
Now it's finally over. From Cam Ranh Bay to Keelung and then to Ryukyu, the France finally got the chance to go to the battlefield. This made Yang Jinqiu's voice almost trembling when he gave orders.
There are still restrictions. Yang Jinqiu cannot use the main gun of the France and can only use the secondary battery to attack.
The main guns of battleships have a lifespan. When the lifespan reaches a certain level, the barrels of the main guns must be replaced. Lanfang cannot currently produce 340 mm caliber barrels. They must be imported from France, so don’t use them if you can.
.
Even if it is only a secondary gun, it cannot be competed by civilian ships anchored in Naha Port. The 22 mle1910 artillery installed in the ship fort only fired one round, and there were no targets in Naha Port.
When Lan Fang and Japan first went to war, the naval battle was considered a battle related to the fate of the country. The Japanese government spent almost everything in order to form two fleets that were capable of defeating all the warships in Lan Fang alone.
As a result, after the Japanese fleet going south and the Japanese fleet going north were completely annihilated, the essence of the Japanese navy was almost completely lost.
This is also the Japanese way of fighting. No matter what they do, this country always likes to gamble all their money. If they win, they will get everything. If they lose, they will lose everything.
In the previous Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese were lucky enough to win the bet, which gave the Japanese unparalleled confidence and made Japan's originally insufficient self-confidence extremely inflated. However, in the battle against Lanfang
, the Japanese finally hit a wall and lost completely.
It cannot be said completely. At least in the current Yokosuka naval port, the last Japanese battleship Kirishima is still parked. At the same time, there is also the Nagato which has not yet been outfitted. The battleship Mutsu is also under construction on the slipway.
If the Japanese are given some more time, Japan will still be a naval power.
Of course, having a boat doesn't mean you have everything.
In the Battle of Ningbei Port, the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay, and the Battle of Rout Island, a total of 35 Japanese warships of various types were sunk, and more than 20,000 naval officers and soldiers were killed, including nearly 10,000 sailors on just seven battleships.
Officers and soldiers, this is simply a disaster for the Japanese Navy.
After decades of hard work, I finally returned to before liberation.
Seeing that all the Japanese ships docked in Naha Port had capsized, Xie Rundong ordered the fleet to turn around and head to the next target, Miyako Island.
Anyway, it is impossible to land in Keelung these days, so let’s scan these small islands. Anyway, this work will have to be done sooner or later.
With this idea in mind, Xie Rundong began a large-scale sweep of these islands from Yingzhou to the Japanese mainland.
At the same time that Xie Rundong began to sweep the islands, Vladivostok finally sent troops into the northeast of the Republic of China and began to sweep away Japanese forces in the northeast of the Republic of China.
Since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has obtained all the rights of the Russian Empire in the Northeast of the Republic of China, including the railway and the exclusive economic zone on both sides of the railway.
In these exclusive economic zones, the Republic of China government had no rights. Everything was under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army newly established by the Japanese government in the northeast of the Republic of China. In addition to Japanese soldiers living in the exclusive economic zones, there were also soldiers from North Korea and Japan.
of immigration.
Yes, at the same time that Lanfang was desperately immigrating from the Republic of China to Lanfang, the Japanese government was also desperately trying to immigrate from Japan and North Korea to the Northeast of the Republic of China. This may sound a little funny, but it is actually the case.
After Lanfang went to war with Japan, President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China did not dare and could not declare war on Japan due to the opposition of pro-Japanese forces in the Republic of China. However, at the same time, Xu Shichang must have hated the Japanese in his heart.
So after Tang Xinzhi, Lanfang's ambassador to China, visited Xu Shichang twice, Qin Zhiyuan finally decided to march into the Northeast of the Republic of China and completely drive out the Japanese forces from the Northeast of the Republic of China.
On December 20, Liu Zizheng led the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Foreign Legion, which had returned from the Russian battlefield, and the 2nd Lanfang Armored Division from Mudanjiang Station into the Northeast of the Republic of China and began a major sweep against the Kwantung Army.
Mudanjiang Station is the predecessor of Mudanjiang City. It is not yet a city, not even a county. It was only because the Russians set up Mudanjiang Station on the north bank of Mudanjiang when they were building the Middle East Railway that people slowly settled there.
it's here.
At this time, on the south bank of Mudanjiang River, a group of hundreds of people were looking at Mudanjiang Station in the distance.
Master Cheng, we really have to fight. Among the crowd at Mudanjiang Station, a thin man with a mustache frowned.
Whether to fight or not, let's take a look first. After all, we have already promised Mr. Liu that if the army from Vladivostok really comes, it will be no problem for us to lead the way. If the army from Vladivostok does not come, we will just go down the mountain.
Just walk around and go back later. Mr. Cheng was riding a black Mongolian horse and looked at Mudanjiang Station with a complicated look.
That's right, these are the bearded men from Shizizhai.
Mr. Liu from Vladivostok killed Yamada that day, which effectively cut off the Shizi Village's retreat from defecting to the Japanese. Mr. Cheng was also ruthless and killed the fourth and fifth men who were closely associated with Yamada on the spot.
Beard officially surrendered to Vladivostok.
Mr. Cheng, whose real name is Cheng Jingxian, currently holds the rank of major in the Vladivostok Allied Forces. Although he does not wear a military uniform, he has received military pay for a month, which can be regarded as eating royal food.
From this aspect, Mr. Liu actually does what he says.
Mr. Liu did what he said. Not only did he give everyone in the Lion Village a month's advance military pay, but he also sent brand-new weapons to the Lion Village, including repeating rifles and even light machine guns. This made Cheng Jing first
Peace of mind.
With such a huge investment in Vladivostok, they shouldn’t give up on these beards easily.
Yesterday, the brother who went to Mudanjiang Station to embed money came back and reported that the little devils have increased their troops again. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. The owner of Jiangbei Huanghua Shop led his people to defect to the Japanese. Mother actually pawned the Japanese at the door.
Door dog, let's go and insert Qian Lao Er to answer the call.
Second brother, since we now have official status, we must be careful when speaking, don't open your mouth to make an incision, we are no longer beards. Mr. Cheng has a pursuit.
"Jia Qian" is a so-called slang among the beards in the Northeast of the Republic of China, which refers to the beard responsible for investigation.
I can't rub it, but I can't get through this bend. The old man's face is astonishing.
The second child, whose real name is Ren Ruzhuang, currently holds the rank of captain in the Vladivostok Allied Forces and can be considered a serious officer.
Master Cheng, Master Cheng, here he comes, here hey Lao Liu came with a few people on horseback, shouting.
