    ??

    ??He told the truth.

    Since the Japanese navy realized the difficulties and dangers of entering the Bohai Bay, they changed their strategy.  In addition to dispatching some warships to blockade the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea north of the Yangtze River in China, he also dispatched several squadrons to attack major coastal cities and ports, causing chaos in the entire north and causing his plan to expand the war in Korea to fail.

    This is because the Nanjing, Jinan, and Beijing military regions faced the threat of Japanese landing and did not dare to let go, while several military regions in the interior were almost exhausted and no longer had the strength to add more troops to the East Asian battlefield.

    Zhou Jingwen was convinced.  A young marshal is a young marshal, and he can see his opportunities when picking up girls!  He asked with some admiration: "Young Marshal, is this plan fake?"

    Zhang Hanqing laughed: "Of course, do you think I would be so stupid as to destroy the navy with such an idea? The Japanese combined fleet has blocked the entire East China Sea. Our warships will be discovered as soon as they go to sea. In the vast sea, where can we let them go?  Hide! Moreover, even if we rushed to Wugang with our little possessions, we would be beaten in vain. Their shore artillery can hit us much farther than ours!"

    He suddenly sighed: "If our warships had one-tenth of their firepower, I would really dare to do this!"

    When Liao Yaquan conveyed this important information to the Japanese military intelligence headquarters, the intelligence department, which had not achieved much for a long time, immediately notified the Navy Department and the Prime Minister urgently. Everyone was shocked by this incredible news.

    This is indeed the most important thing that the Japanese people cannot tolerate. For the local people who have not experienced war for decades, war is far away. The invincible glory of the locust army overseas also stimulates their desire to further conquer overseas territories.  .  If even one artillery shell hits the four islands, the myth of the invincibility of the locust army will be shattered, and the confidence of the Japanese people will collapse.

    Therefore, with an attitude of preferring to believe what they have or not, a series of important ports such as Yokosuka Governor's Office and Kure Governor's Office have raised their security levels. The remaining intelligence personnel in mainland China have to regard the movements of the three fleets as a priority task.  , the combined fleet also sent several teams to monitor the movements of the three fleets huddled in the port.

    To their surprise, there were indeed changes in China's so-called "three major fleets": the Yangtze River Fleet was said to have conducted a massive drill on the Jiangyin River, the South China Fleet conducted a cross-shore attack drill, and the Bohai Fleet was scattered in Qingdao and Changdao.  It is really impossible to monitor the islands, but according to the Chinese military's own words, the "Hairong" and other three cruisers are out at Huludao for training

    It is too coincidental that the three fleets are training at the same time. Who knows that they are not conducting a surprise attack under the guise of training?  The Japanese Navy has used this technique too often.

    In fact, it was a small-scale training session that Guo Songling conducted between battles to train the graduates of the Naval Command Academy.  However, the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters greatly appreciated Liao Yaquan's intelligence and looked forward to her performance again.

    When the Japanese navy was overwhelmed by false intelligence, the once stalemate on the Korean battlefield changed.

    After the Chinese army survived the initial panic caused by the chaos of the 3rd Army, thanks to the courage of its subordinate divisions and division artillery regiments, it finally stabilized its formation for the timely insertion of the 100th Division. Later, with the assistance of the 2nd Army  They turned defeat into victory and finally pushed the front line to the Soyang River and Han River.

    Autumn has come, and autumn in North Korea is already quite cold. Many troops coming from the southwest and central China are not even prepared for winter cotton-padded clothes. There are also quite a few southern soldiers who have never experienced heavy snow and ice in their lives.  Without equipment and experience, it will be more difficult to fight this battle.

    Anticipating that it would still be a long process for Japan to take the initiative to relent, Zhang Hanqing, while tightening his coat, decided to rotate officers and soldiers into the DPRK again.

    Because the three armies of the Chengdu Military Region were among the first batch to participate in the war, the southwest defense was somewhat weak.  Originally, Britain's hands and feet on the Tibetan side were still clean, but during the fierce fighting between China and Japan, he wanted to extend a finger.  So these three armies were transferred back.  The battle was fought in an orderly manner, and we can give an explanation to the people in central Sichuan.

    The 2nd and 3rd armies of the Lanzhou Military Region have just joined the battle group and are on the front line of the battle, so there is no need to rush to replace them.  Moreover, they have usually experienced severe cold. Although the severe cold in the northwest and northeast is very different, they always have some experience in resisting the cold.

    The 18th and 21st armies of the Wuhan Military Region will continue to stay here soon after entering the DPRK. Zhang Hanqing believes that the remaining two armies can take the opportunity to merge into the Lanzhou and Chengdu Military Regions and realize the abolition of the Wuhan Military Region.  Historically, this has been done after the domestic situation stabilized. It doesn't make much sense to have an additional administrative team.

    Because the army has not moved, several major military region leaders have also been consulted and relocated to other military regions. Therefore, even if the Korean battlefield is fierce, there is basically no turmoil in personnel changes here.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The 7th Army and the 26th Cavalry Army were both placed under the Lanzhou Military Region. In addition, Zhang Chengde, commander of the 4th Army of the Nanjing Military Region, was promoted to deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region to lead Yu Zhen.

    Although Yu Zhen is an old Fengtian and has the advantage of being upright and conscientious, she goes too far. During the Fengtian era, she was called "Old Mongolia". Later, she could not catch up with Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??forming a modern army.  Letting Zhang Hanqing's old subordinate Zhang Chengde go to Lanzhou would pave the way for a natural transition later.

    In order to unify the organization, the Mongolian Construction Corps was once again placed under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Military Region as a group, and Zhang Chengde concurrently served as the commander of the Corps.

    Zhao Ronghua, the former chief of staff of the Wuhan Military Region, was promoted to deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region, replacing Liang Zhongjia, who had gone to North Korea; Pei Chunsheng, director of the Political Department, was transferred to director of the Political Department of the Beijing Military Region; Commander Wan Fulin was promoted to the second deputy commander-in-chief of the General Staff Headquarters, assuming the former deputy  The work of Chief of Staff Ji Yiqiao.

    Regarding Wan Fulin¡¯s new position, some people privately believe that this is the Marshal¡¯s first major purge of the system of Congress Chairman Wu Dashuai after three years.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you see, the young marshal has even abolished the Wuhan Military Region?  Marshal Wu's right-hand man, Wan Fulin, was appointed as the "nominal" deputy chief of staff by a high-ranking official from Fangfang. He was obviously promoted but secretly demoted.  Wu Junsheng, who was the most powerful competitor after Lao Zhang was assassinated, will now start to step aside?

    However, after entering Beijing, Wan Fulin immediately fell into a hectic work and couldn't get out of his mind to think about whether to be promoted or demoted.

    In this way, the Chinese army in North Korea has a total of 8 organized corps and the 1st and 2nd construction corps.  At this point in the war, it was necessary to clarify the two designations formed to confuse the Japanese. Therefore, the Central Military Commission ordered these two armies to cancel the establishment of the Construction Corps and replace them with the 37th and 38th Army of the People's Army.

    In order to force Japan to lower its stance, the People's Army needed another great victory to make the Japanese government realize that the previous unrealistic peace conditions were a joke, so Ji Yiqiao used this rare time to start attacking the North Korean troops.  To integrate.

    All 10 armies are divided into three corps: Eastern Corps, Western Corps, and Central Corps.  The three corps coordinate with each other to ensure a steady attack, and when attacking, all fist troops can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

    The Eastern Corps is composed of the 2nd, 27th, and 37th Corps, and its commander is Song Jiuling, the commander of the 2nd Corps; the Western Corps is composed of the 3rd, 29th, and 38th Corps, and its commander is concurrently commander of the 29th Corps Liang Zhongjia; Middle |  The Central Corps is composed of the 14th, 18th, and 30th armies. Shang Zhen, commander of the 18th army, serves as the commander, and Song Zheyuan's 21st army serves as the general reserve force.

    Because Ji Xing's mistake was a bad start, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, the North Korean commander Ji Yiqiao, with Zhang Hanqing's consent, dismissed his post as commander of the 3rd Army.  Hu Zhen, commander of the 9th Division, acted as commander.

    Hui De'an, commander of the 8th Division, was promoted to deputy commander, and Zheng Dianqi, commander of the 7th Division, was appointed chief of staff of the army. All three were awarded first-class individual merit and first-class collective merit.  Artillery regiment leaders Liu Yanji, Li Hongliang and others were promoted to the front line and joined the ranks of acting division commanders of the People's Army.  After the war, rewards will be given based on merit and promotions will be made according to rank. None of them, such as lieutenant general or major general, will be able to escape.

    At the same time, Chaosi notified the entire army of the incident, tightened discipline, and quickly stabilized the morale of the military caused by the problem of the 3rd Army's general.  All armies also understand a truth: if you act according to orders, you will be rewarded for your merits; if you act against orders, you will be punished even if you win.  At the same time, the promotion and meritorious service of several officers of the 3rd Army made other brother units jealous.

    The soldiers have a fighting spirit, their morale is high, and the People's Army is a hundred times more willing to fight.

    ??Internationally, countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States are getting tired of this destined to be a protracted war. The Japanese navy's blockade of China has suspended China's foreign trade and virtually prevented them from making trade fortunes.

    Following Italy, U.S. Secretary of State Frank Kellogg issued a statement, strongly hoping for a truce between the two countries and recommending that the League of Nations investigate the war.  The League of Nations made rapid progress this time and sent a joint delegation headed by Sir Lytton.  This Litton is the famous person in later history who mediated the September 18th Incident.

    Americans¡¯ ¡°expectations¡± are still very strong, and at least Japan has expressed cautious approval.  Zhang Hanqing knew that the Japanese wanted to take this opportunity to carry out war mobilization and logistical supplies, because although the Sino-Japanese conflict was instigated by them, they were still caught off guard by such a big fight and the People's Army advancing so fast in North Korea.

    They urgently need to make war deployments, because before, they passively welcomed the attacks of the People's Army, which also limited their performance - they have always believed that the real combat power of the Japanese army should never be like this  Looks like.  At the same time, they also need supplies, and they also have to spend time transporting heavy artillery and tanks - some time ago, they only focused on the performance of the Chinese People's Army.

    Zhang Hanqing also needs some time: China's relatively large industrial machinery has begun to prepare for war. In the previous stage, more than 40 artillery regiments almost used up more than half of the artillery shells in the Shenyang Military Region.  The great power of artillery is also one of the reasons why the spirit of Japanese Bushido cannot be displayed in artillery fire.  The Chinese army also needs to prepare for winter offensives.

    So when the joint investigation team was first established, Zhang Hanqing declared in Dalian that he respected the recommendations of the League of Nations and welcomed the arrival of the investigation team.  In response, he declared that the People's Army would cease all military operations in North Korea for ten days if the Japanese army did not provoke.

    Therefore, when both warring parties are willing to truce, the rumbling gunfire on the Korean Peninsula has rarely stopped.  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)More than a few shells.  The great power of artillery is also one of the reasons why the spirit of Japanese Bushido cannot be displayed in artillery fire.  The Chinese army also needs to prepare for winter offensives.
