Chapter 347 Counterattack Shenyang
Just as Yang Feng returned to Tianjin with a ship of anti-aircraft artillery of various caliber, the Japanese army also began an attack on the Philippines. Yamamoto Iroru personally led nine aircraft carriers, including Yamato and Musashi, into the South China Sea. A large number of troops transport ships and 200,000 troops gathered in Saigon and stood on standby. Once the naval aviation force resolved the Philippines' U.S. Army Aviation Force, the landing operation would be launched immediately.
In fact, Roosevelt was no longer planning to ask the Philippines, at least not for the time being. Although he had sent all five aircraft carriers to Pearl Harbor, this still did not have the ability to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle, and it was impossible to protect the Philippines with a fleet.
Of course, it is not enough to give up directly like this. The members of Congress will not care about this. Now the United States is a time of excitement. If MacArthur fled without a fight, it would be equivalent to provoking the enthusiasm of the people. Therefore, this battle must be fought. In this case, Lao Mai has to keep it on.
He has many troops in his hands. After all, after the Japanese occupied the entire Southeast Asia, the Philippines has become the forefront of the US-Japan confrontation, especially this is the largest submarine base in the Pacific Ocean. Although the commander of the Asian Fleet, Admiral Thomas Hart, has only two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and twenty destroyers, he has 120 submarines. Of course, these submarines are not all from the US military. Although they are flying the American flag and carrying the US Navy logo, half of them are from Britain, and ten are from China. These wolves hiding in Krabi are the nightmares of the Japanese in the South China Sea.
In order to protect them, the United States deployed 100,000 troops in the Philippines, of which 70,000 were in Luzon, and two divisions were in Mindanao. The Army Airways also deployed 1,000 fighter jets here, half of which were twin demons with US military number p37. There were also three hundred Curtis p40s, one hundred Thunders and one hundred flying snakes. In fact, American Army Air pilots wanted to replace their aircraft with twin demons, or the United States equipped with thunders with serial number p38, but unfortunately, in order to balance the interests of arms dealers, they had to equip points every time.
In addition to fighters, there are one hundred Liberators and one hundred aerial fortresses. There are fifty Liberators maritime patrol aircraft, ten high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and two hundred Skyhawk dive bombers. In terms of quantity, MacArthur has strong sea, land and air combat capabilities. Roosevelt's expectation is that he can hold on for a year, so that he can win enough time for the expansion of the US Navy's strength.
In order to provide him with enough support, Roosevelt even lowered his head and asked the bald man for help. Not only did all the unequal treaties between China and the United States be cancelled, but he would also provide him with 200 million US dollars in aid so that he could buy more planes, of course, the condition was to send troops to attack Guangdong, and bomb Taiwan and block the Taiwan Strait.
It is rare that someone who gives face like this bald man doesn't know what to do, but he actually agreed. Before the Japanese army began to attack Luzon Island, he had already started bombing Taiwan.
"This old Jiang, won't he be really confused by Roosevelt, right?" Yang Feng was speechless. Now he is still considering whether to help the Americans, but the bald man is more active than himself. This will not be difficult for him to delay it for too long, after all, he is the best friend of the American people.
"He was not fascinated by Roosevelt, he was fascinated by the US dollar. Nanjing's finances have been very tight recently. Although he opened factories like us to make money from the British, the people under his command are good at strife. The industry is still far from being able to do it, but he is alone and can't support it. We compete fairly in China, so we can't compete at all. In other words, we don't want to make a fuss, so we leave a line for them, otherwise, their factories will probably have to close at least now.
In the past, I could issue more fiat currency and peel off others' skin, but since the establishment of the Monetary Supervision Committee, this path has been blocked. The princes were staring at him. No matter how brave the people in Nanjing were, they would not dare to make trouble on this. Now Nanjing's economy is basically supported by mineral exports and tariffs to Germany, so with these 200 million US dollars, it would be a timely help for him." Liu Haining said with a smile.
Yang Feng is not so clear about these things. Over the years, he has only stared at foreign countries to engage in conspiracies and tricks, and basically no longer cared about domestic affairs. It seems that the situation is not very good. If this continues, conflicts will occur. No wonder he was not very enthusiastic when he met the bald man these days.
He had to find some money-making business for him. Yang Feng attached great importance to domestic harmony, but the principle of free competition in industry cannot be destroyed. Since this is the case, he can only make money on resources. They can still do it simply by selling minerals. Now, under Nanjing's control are Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Lianghu, so he must find resources from these places. In addition, these resources must be very important and can earn foreigners' money on a large scale. Well, Yang Feng knows what to give him, Henan Luanchuan Molybdenum Mine, and the bearded man will love the bald man to death.
Let’s talk about this one day when we see him. The problem now is how to cooperate with the US military. Although I really hope that Japan will cut General MacArthur, my identity is different after all. The bald man has taken action. An old friend who is highly respected by the American people is not good enough to watch the fun. Only then did Yang Feng come back to the scene. The reason why the bald man is so active is to force himself to take action!
Since that's the case, I'll just give him a big one.
"The next combat goal, Shenyang!" At the military meeting, Boss Yang took the scepter and pointed it directly on the name that made all Chinese people unforgettable.
Zhang Zuoxiang and others who attended the meeting were immediately excited. They had been waiting for this day for almost ten years, and many elderly people from Northeast Army left with regrets if they failed to wait for this day.
"There is no need to fight too quickly this time. The requirements are very simple. Take steady steps and strive to capture Shenyang within one year. This time, the Northeast Army and the New Army are the main ones. The rest of the troops guard the coast to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Shandong. In addition, it is time for Suiyuan to finish the work. The 18th Army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties. You two are still watching the fun, which is too unreasonable." Yang Feng said to Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui dissatisfied.
The two shameless men smiled and looked at each other.
However, the 18th Army was indeed surprising. Even with such severe casualties, they still stick to the Yellow River defense line, and fought almost one-to-one with the Japanese army, which made Anan Wei, who was opposite them miserable. Recently, even American newspapers have been promoting the glorious achievements of the 18th Army. They have ridiculed Fu Zuoyi and the others who were watching the fun. It would be really not good to continue like this.
"The 29th Army joined the Suiyuan battlefield, Anan Weiji stayed in China. If you dare to come and cause trouble, you must have the awareness of giving this land as fertilizer. After destroying the Japanese army south, they will continue to fight north to Kulun. Contact Nanjing to bring a Mongolian governor together, so as not to get messed up in the future." Yang Feng continued, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. Anan Weiji and the Eighteenth Army were both injured. The 200,000 troops from the three princes here were basically dead. Then they fought directly to Kulun and stared at the Siberian Railway, so that the Japanese would not be worried about attacking the Chinese coast.
If they dare to fight, they will cut off the railway directly. This railway is the lifeline of the Japanese now. It not only carries the logistics transportation of more than one million troops of the Ural War Zone and the Central Asian War Zone, but also bears the main task of supplying crude oil in the local area. It doesn’t need to be too much. As long as they cut off their entire strategic layout for half a year, they will have to completely collapse. The Japanese will definitely not dare to take such risks. In this way, as long as they control the intensity of bombing on their local areas and cannot force them to fight to the death, they can only swallow their anger. If they dare to resist, they have to risk a complete collapse. This tactic is the standard Yang tactic. I will beat you up, but you can’t fight back. If you dare to fight back, I will kill you.
Land combat is like this. How to formulate a combat plan is no longer something Yang Feng needs to consider. Sun Liren and his Joint Joint Association can solve it. In fact, Yang Feng has no psychological burden for this battle. The Japanese army in Northeast China completely lost the courage to attack many years ago, and now it is completely supported by those turtle shells. These things are nothing more than spending more time. A ring fortress smashes a few sculls, blows the Japanese army first, and then hits the ground troops with cannons, and then cleans up the ruins in half a month. Although the cost will be higher, since it is to restore Shenyang, the people will not mind no matter how high the cost is.
In fact, Yang Feng has been holding back his attack on Shenyang over the years. Public opinion in all aspects, including those ordinary people, has long been a little dissatisfied with him. Members of the House of Representatives often publicly criticized him. Now that they have finally taken action, they are still qualified to speak out.
The rest is bombing of Japan, which is necessary. If this is not the case, it cannot be explained to the American people. However, before this, the Japanese air bases in North Korea must be blown up. These bases are extremely annoying on the route to Tokyo. Moreover, the air defense strength of these bases is very strong. If you use bombers, you will definitely suffer a considerable loss. It is best to get a Scud! Anyway, more than 100 pieces have been built during this period. You can get a base without having to install a cluster warhead. First, use the Scud to point the acupoints, and then wash the bomber. Yang Feng found that his tactics are becoming more and more advanced. (To be continued...)
