Chapter 233 Battle Plan (1)

"Of course, due to our intervention and the development of history has changed, the process of the Russo-Japanese War is not ruled out to have major changes. We have also made two plans for this. The first situation is that Japan has gained a relatively obvious advantage on the battlefield, not only has severely damaged the Russian army, but also has a smaller loss than in the old time and space, and has the ability to fight again. Our response is to still start from the sea first, completely annihilate, and even severely damage the Japanese joint fleet and obtain sea control power. This can cut off the Japanese army's replenishment and then carry out landing operations. Japan will not be afraid after losing the replenishment. However, at the beginning of the war, Japan may still have a certain combat effectiveness. Then we can join forces with Russia, attack Japan from the front and back, and then return to deal with Russia after completely defeating Japan. Our predetermined goals, such as severely hurting Japan and Russia, recovering the Northeast, and obtaining war reparations will remain unchanged."

"The second situation is that Russia has the dominance of the battlefield, and Japan's war is not good, so we are likely to choose to fight side by side with Japan. Of course, in this case, Japan will probably take the initiative to rescue us, and we can take the opportunity to make demands on Japan and force Japan to make concessions to us. The result of this is to recover the Northeast and obtain war reparations basically, but Japan is likely to escape, and can also get a share of the pie in obtaining war reparations, and with the support of Britain and the United States, we can make trouble and fight, Leave a future problem, unless Japan refuses to fulfill its promised concessions after defeating the Russian army, we can use this as an excuse to turn against Japan. However, the variables of these two situations are too great, so we can only make a rough plan. The timing and location of the two wars must be determined based on the actual situation at that time. It is estimated that after the war begins, a clear judgment will be made at most 6 months. The above are the planning arrangements for combat. If you have any questions to ask or need to add them, you can say."

Wang Yunpeng said: "If we follow our combat plan, can we defeat Japan and Russia in one fell swoop?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "Of course, I have full confidence in this. First, Japan and Russia have fought fiercely for about a year and a half. Both sides were exhausted, their morale was low, and their losses were huge. Because the elite troops suffered great casualties, both psychologically and physically, they reached the limit, but we were waiting for work and were full of spirit. Second, the battlefield was the Northeast region of our country, both Japan and Russia, and they were invaders. Although it is not ruled out that a few traitors would help Japan and Russia do things, the vast majority of people would not support them. We fight to defend our homes and the people in the Northeast region, and we can get the support of the majority of the people. Of course, this also requires the assistance and cooperation of other departments; Third, we still have several aces in our hands, which can play a role in Guanjian, so I think we will definitely be able to defeat Japan and Russia and win."

Xu Jichao said: "In the old time and space, the Russo-Japanese War lasted almost two years. Before World War I, it was the longest war. It can be said that it lasted for a long time. Both Japan and Russia were dragged out very much. At present, our national strength is not as good as Japan and Russia. Therefore, is there a limit on the time of the war?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "The initial schedule is one year. Considering that both Japan and Russia were exhausted at this time, this time is enough. In this year, the first half of the year was Guan Jian. Because of the old time and space process, the battle of the Tempora Ma occurred on May 28, 1905. Therefore, the focus is on the five months from June to October 1905. In the first two months, it is necessary to complete the complete defeat of the Japanese army, or to drive most of the Japanese army to the east bank of the Yalu River. Months are mainly to deal with the Russian army. The bottom line goal is to recover Fengtian, that is, Chenyang. On this basis, try to expand northward. After November, the northeast region will enter a severe cold climate and is not suitable for large-scale wars. The troops can enter the remediation period, and at this point, they can also consider ending the war. If Japan and Russia reject our conditions, then they can launch another attack in February and March 1906 and teach them a lesson."

Xia Bohai frowned and said, "Where are there any climate seasons when fighting? Besides, we want to truce the war in the severe winter, and it depends on whether the Russian army agrees."

Qin Zheng said: "I think this plan is appropriate. It does not mean that you will not fight in the severe winter. If you can complete the combat plan before the severe winter and use the severe winter to consider ending the war, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, fighting in a severe cold climate is indeed beneficial to Russia. This is an objective fact. However, if there are fighters in the severe winter, you still have to fight. Moreover, we still have at least two winters. Although the winter in Shandong is not as cold as the Northeast, there are also some cold weather for a period of time, and the winter training of the troops should be strengthened."

Xiao Jianjun nodded and said, "Now he is already formulating a winter training plan."

Xia Bohai said again: "If we follow our plan, we will wipe out the Japanese and Russian fleets and cut off the Japanese army's support, but what if Japan and the Russian army join forces at this time? Japan can obtain support from Russia. Have you considered this situation?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "We have considered this situation. First of all, the possibility of Japan and Russia joining forces is not high. After all, the two sides have fought several times, and more than 100,000 people have died. There is a saying that they can join forces by joining forces. Even if they join forces, they still need to communicate and negotiate with the governments of the two countries. However, after Japan and Russia start fighting, the diplomats of both sides have returned to their country. Even if they need to negotiate, they need to pass a third country. After they negotiate, the Japanese army may have been defeated by us. Secondly, we will not sit idly by and watch Japan and Russia join forces. We can make more diplomatic efforts because we landed in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Japanese army first faced the battle, and there was a lot of room for operation in diplomacy. As long as it could stabilize Russia for one month, it would be enough for us to completely defeat the Japanese army. In the end, of course, it is not ruled out that Japan and Russia will complete negotiations in a short period of time and then join forces to deal with us, but this only adds some difficulty to us. After all, the Japanese army has different systems. Even if there is Russian support, it will not play much role. For example, the Japanese rifle uses 6mm caliber and the Russian rifle has 7.62mm caliber, which cannot be universal at all. So we are not worried about Japan and Russia joining forces."

Qin Zheng said again: "In Plan 1, our plan is to defeat the Japanese Joint Fleet first, but what if the Joint Fleet does not go out to sea to fight us at this time, but adopts the tactics of avoiding war, but maintains the tactics of my Xianwei shooting? Because Japan is an island country, and our current strength cannot block the entire island of Japan. Without annihilation of the Joint Fleet, we will not be able to obtain the power to control the sea and completely cut off Japan's supplementary line. How should we deal with this situation?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "If the Japanese joint fleet avoids war, there are two plans to deal with it. One is that we can divide the troops into two groups. On the one hand, we concentrate the main warships to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese joint fleet; on the other hand, we organize protective cruisers, and still block the Tsushima Strait and cut off Japan's transportation lines. The Japanese army in China relies on maritime transportation to supply materials, so Japan can only choose to fight with us. The other plan is more extreme. Organize fleets to shell Japan's coastal cities. The island state has advantages and weaknesses. It is indeed difficult to blockade around the sea, but the surrounding area is full of loopholes and difficult to defend, so we are not afraid of the joint fleet not going to fight."

Xu Jichao said: "There is another thing I don't know if the Military Commission has considered it. At present, we are all considering China, Japan and Russia. But what if the fourth party intervenes? It's like we are protecting overseas Chinese in Java this time, and Britain intervenes. But both of us have concerns, so it is considered a peaceful ending. The Netherlands is not an ally of Britain. To a certain extent, the two sides have some small holidays. Under such a relationship, Britain will also help the Netherlands. Japan and Britain are indeed an alliance, and Russia and France also have an alliance. I think if we defeat Japan and Russia at the same time on the battlefield, Britain will definitely interfere, and even the United States and Germany will interfere. At that time, we will be enemies of the whole world."

Xiao Jianjun said: "Even if there is no British intervention in Java protecting overseas Chinese, we will consider the intervention of the fourth party. However, we believe that the United States and Germany are unlikely to intervene. At this time, the United States is not the United States in the old time and space. From a certain extent, the United States now has many similarities with China in the old time and space. It is big but not strong, and it is still in a stage of keeping a low profile. At most, it will never easily intervene in such large-scale regional wars. At most, it will be easy to get a little after the war is over. Germany is powerless. They have no bases in the Far East and cannot support intervention. Therefore, only Britain and France need to be vigilant, and these two countries will definitely intervene."

"There are generally two ways of intervention. One is to provide support for Japan and Russia in terms of funds, materials and weapons, and support them to continue. However, this support has a marginal effect, and the effect becomes smaller in the later stage. Because it is for the failed party, no matter how good the weapon is, it needs to be used by people. A soldier must go through at least 6 months of systematic training before he can go to the battlefield. The training cycle of a warship is longer, and he must go through 2-3 battles to mature. Otherwise, even if he is given a weapon, he will only give him a head on the battlefield. Therefore, as long as he is, he only needs to go through a warship.
