    Tang Qiuli's sharp gaze swept across the audience. The gazes of all the officers were bright and firm. He smiled with satisfaction and continued: "To be honest, I also want to enjoy happiness and spend a few years with my wife and children."  The days have passed and we no longer smell the smoke of war, but it doesn't work. We still have one of our biggest enemies, China's old enemy, which has not completely disappeared from this world!" His voice rose, "This biggest enemy has not disappeared completely from this world!  The enemy is the Japanese! After careful study by the division commanders, it was decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese mainland this year to kill all the Japanese on the four islands. The only content of this military meeting was the briefing  Everyone, the commander has made this determination, an unshakable determination. You can talk freely about this big topic. Finally, the staff office will summarize it and formulate a unified strategy for attacking Japan!" At this point, Tang Qiuli smiled and said!  : "However, there are hundreds of generals present. That person has not climbed out from a battlefield filled with bullets. He has rich combat experience and has his own set of fighting methods. If there is an argument, this meeting will not last for several months.  time, then we don¡¯t have to do anything and just have a meeting in Yangon!¡± ¡°Besides, hundreds of people are relying on me to eat and drink, and I have to go bankrupt. Therefore, after the meeting, we will organize each corps and each service branch as a unit.  , discuss and research in groups, and form written materials, which will be summarized in the staff office. You can come up with any kind of opinions. The main ones are reliable, and the teacher will seriously consider them. Let¡¯s adjourn the meeting now! "It¡¯s less than an hour!  The meeting adjourned, it could be said that it was very efficient, but the teacher's words.  But it ignited the passion in the hearts of the generals. They wanted to attack the little devil's lair. They would catch up with him in this life. If his battle plan could be adopted by the commanders, wouldn't it be a legacy that would leave a name in history and be carried in everyone's heart?  A fire.  Then, there was a heated debate.  They argued with each other and became very angry.  Three days later, the summary of the plan for attacking Japan compiled by the staff office was presented to Tang Qiuli.  The final decision on the plan to attack Japan was made by the division commanders, the commanders of each corps, and the two commanders of the naval fleet and aviation force.  The outline of the plan for attacking Japan is roughly divided into two parts, that is, two directions of attack. The first direction of attack is to use the Korean Peninsula as the starting point for the attack and the troops to cross the Korean Strait.  Attack Japan's Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, use Sakhalin Island as another starting point for the attack, and the troops cross the Soya Strait.  Attack Japan's Hokkaido.  This offensive direction is dominated by Liu Tiehan's East Point Force and Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with a total strength of more than one million people. Initially, Tang Qiuli left these two regiments in the north.  That's the purpose.  The second direction of attack is to use Luzon, Mindanao and Taiwan as the starting point for the attack.  Breaking through the Japanese defense circle in the Pacific on the Ryukyu Islands, Iwo Jima Islands, and Ogasawara Islands, approaching the Japanese mainland from the east, forming a joint attack with the troops attacking from the north, and taking the route of attacking the Japanese mainland from the sea.  This direction of attack places great demands on the naval fleet and troop transport ships. However, the problem is not big now. The core of the Japanese Navy, the Combined Fleet, has been wiped out. In the southwest Pacific, there is no troop transport ship that can threaten the division.  With the strength of the team, the only difficulty is to break through the Japanese army's three maritime defense circles and conduct a series of battles to seize the island.  Led by Liu Tiehan and Sun Zhenbang, the East Point Force and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, together with Liu Cuigang, commander of the Aviation Northern Flying Group, and Amosyev, deputy commander of the fleet and commander of the Northern Fleet, strongly advocated taking the first step.  The reason for this offensive plan is very simple and sufficient. The troops can cross the Korean Strait and Soya Strait, which are only a short distance away. It is much closer than attacking via the Pacific sea route.  Admiral Amosyev, who is proficient in Chinese and Chinese culture, even made a metaphor, "Everyone, attacking the Japanese mainland from the north is the nearest and best route. I can tell you clearly that even without fleet escort,  The sea-crossing troops can cross the Korean Strait and Soya Strait by rowing small sampans!" Liu Tiehan, Sun Zhenbang, and Liu Cuigang believed deeply in this. This is the geographical advantage of the northern troops, which was originally prepared to attack the Japanese mainland!  During the attack, the troops did not need to break through the Japanese defense circle again and again, seizing several islands as a bridgehead for the attack, and could directly attack the Japanese mainland.  A group of generals led by Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Southern Flying Group commander Le Yiqin, and several corps commanders who participated in the Australian campaign, as well as armored force commander Lieutenant General Battelle, and artillery commander Lieutenant General Zheng Yong, advocated the Pacific sea route  , attack the Japanese mainland.  The reason is also very good. The South Pacific and Southwest Pacific are dotted with islands. Almost every island with human survival conditions is stationed by the Japanese Army and Navy. Not only are there a large number of Army soldiers, but also several Japanese Navy and Army troops.  If the air force does not seize this opportunity to attack the Japanese mainland and eliminate them all, it will inevitably become a future trouble.  After the troops landed on the Japanese mainland, the Japanese troops scattered on the islands gathered together. They were a large force. It was no joke to kill from behind the landing troops. Moreover, this part of the Japanese troops would be in the future.  AlsoOf course it will be eliminated.  However, both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one can convince the other. It is not that they have never thought that they can use both directions of attack to attack the Japanese mainland from the north and the south. However, considering the reality, this comprehensive plan is too difficult to implement.  Considering the current strength of the division and the material resources needed to cross the Pacific Ocean with several million troops, we can only choose one main direction of attack.  Several boss-level members under his command were all involved in the dispute over the direction of the north-south attack. Tang Qiuli could only smile bitterly. In the history of World War II and the late Pacific War, when the United States attacked the Japanese mainland, it adopted a maritime offensive route.  Breaking the Japanese defense circle in the Pacific led to famous classic battles such as the Battle of Okinawa and the Battle of Iwo Jima that caused great suffering to the US military.  MacArthur, the commander of the US military forces that attacked Japan, created the famous "leapfrog tactic" in the battle to seize the islands in the Pacific, and thus achieved his reputation. However, now, after MacArthur has been suppressed many times by himself,  The war has disappeared from everyone's sight, and he may still be nesting in the territory of the British in West India, holding a position of insignificant affairs officer.  Tang Qiuli also sneered at MacArthur's "leap-frog tactic" for which he was famous. With decades of experience, he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he picked up on MacArthur's wisdom that he absolutely hated. Moreover, MacArthur's  "Leapfrog tactics," may not be the only option.  Because the two factions of the Southern Attack and the Northern Attack were at loggerheads, no one could convince the other. Even the two deputy division commanders of the division were involved, as well as the chief and deputy commanders of the fleet, and the commanders of the northern and southern aviation groups.  , it is obviously impossible to expect them to sit down calmly, study and review the draft strategy for attacking Japan. Maybe it will be a higher-level debate.  Therefore, Tang Qiuli was arbitrary about the strategy of attacking the Japanese mainland. To be fair, he agreed with Liu Tiehan and Sun Zhenbang's plan to use the Korean Peninsula and Sakhalin as the starting point for the attack. However, among the two people's plans,  , but missed an important point, that is, Vladivostok, across the Sea of ??Japan from the Japanese mainland, can also be used as one of the starting points for the attack.  From a geographical point of view, the Vladivostok Naval Air Base is like a giant bow drawn, pointing directly at Honshu Island, the main battlefield of the Japanese attack. The final decisive battle with the Japanese will definitely take place in a gathering of Japanese military and political forces.  It is carried out with Kyushu Island, which has the largest economy, and Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also on Honshu Island.  However, the southern route and maritime attack plan through the Pacific proposed by Brother Qiu Sheng is not without its merits. However, their thinking is still at the level during World War II. They still think about advancing gradually, and it is impossible to have their own  Advantages that are decades ahead of this era.  The Ryukyu Islands, Iwo Jima Islands, and Ogasawara Islands are the three important defense rings in the southern part of the Japanese archipelago. They protect the security of Japan's mainland. They are also the main reason why the Japanese and Americans fought bloody battles in the history of World War II, especially the Ryukyu Islands.  If it falls, the Japanese mainland will be as if it is undefended.  The plan to attack the Japanese mainland via the Pacific Ocean from the south can be used as an auxiliary direction. We might as well start the attack before the large-scale attack begins. This will also attract the Japanese mainland's defense forces to concentrate in the south. It can also be regarded as a modern version of attacking in the east and attacking in the west!  Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli no longer hesitated, picked up a pen, and wrote a few words on the draft strategy for attacking Japan, "After comprehensive consideration of the pros and cons, I think it is best to adopt Deputy Commander Liu's plan. Therefore, the division  The main direction of the attack is in the north, with Busan on the Korean Peninsula, Vladivostok on the northern coast of the Sea of ??Japan, and Sakhalin as the starting point.  , had not been extinguished, and when the sky was slightly bright, he rubbed his sore wrists, with dry eyes, stretched for a long time, and looked at the desk with satisfaction, which contained dozens of pages of "The Battle of Japan's Mainland".  "Draft Plan Outline" nodded, worked all night, and finally completed this important matter. The rest is to discuss, improve, and finalize it at the teacher's meeting.  When the research meeting started on the second day, Tang Qiuli took out the results of his hard work all night and showed them to several senior officials who participated in the discussion. Deputy division commander Liu Tiehan read them first, and then showed a victorious smile on his face.  .  Deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng was the second to read it. He didn't feel disappointed at all. Now that the division commander had reached a conclusion, he had no doubts. Qiusheng had always been a fan of his cousin's unpredictable military talent.  Absolutely convinced.  (To be continued) (To be continued)
