"What kind of person is MacArthur? When the United States used him to lead the Far East Army, what specialties and advantages did the U.S. choose?"

When the coalition forces were preparing to turn from passive to active and use a sudden and powerful attack to disrupt China's strategy and achieve a partial breakthrough, Zhu Bin did not stop making preparations. One of the most important tasks was to attack the enemy.

Collect and analyze the data of military generals to judge their possible strategies and tactics, avoid the real and hit the weak, and hit the target with one blow.

This job is not easy to do. Preliminary data collection is crucial, because as soon as the war starts, the activities of latent intelligence personnel will become very difficult, and the variety of information mixed with the ever-changing war will be seriously distorted, and even

It would be more meaningful to prepare in advance.

In the past, Zhu Bin himself did not need to pay too much attention to such things, because he had Jiang Baili, who was extremely familiar with the Japanese character and military strategy, and a large staff team and intelligence experts. The Japanese were equivalent to one-way transparency, and they had absolute advantages.

Under the crushing force of weapons and equipment, even if there are some flaws in some tactical things, it will not affect anything.

But the strategic development led by the United States is completely different. The way of thinking of Westerners is very different from that of Easterners, and their values ​​and cultural connotations are incompatible. When reflected in war, it is more likely to produce extremely uncomfortable changes.

, this must be considered in advance.

It is said that the enemy should be treated with leniency, and the one with more temples will win. This is true.

However, in recent years, under the influence of serious anti-foreignism, especially the anti-Chinese trend, the Americans' space for activities with Chinese faces has been severely compressed. The honeymoon period is over, and they have directly begun to use state force to persecute them, causing great harm.

The deployment of the intelligence department began. Now as the war progresses, intelligence is constantly being updated.

MacArthur changed from a retired general of the U.S. Army to the chief of the Philippine Army, and then was promoted to lieutenant general to command the Far Eastern Army during the war. All these changes occurred in a short period of time, and it was only recently that the United States dispatched its main force to participate in the battle. It was determined that they

It would be shorter to get the leadership of the coalition forces. Therefore, Zhu Bin asked this question.

In fact, there is another reason. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the intelligence department and the staff department, it was originally not thought that MacArthur would become the leader, but now there are surprising results---from the intercepted and decoded cables,

Surprising indeed!

That's right, the telegram that Chief of Staff Sutherland excitedly sent to MacArthur was intercepted and deciphered by Zhu Bin without any surprise, and then he quickly analyzed the result of the old man's appearance, which surprised Zhu Bin.

"MacArthur..." Zhang Yi, who was Zhu Bin's secretary, was transferred back again. This extremely smart but extremely restless guy was always being transferred back and forth, and everyone around him was numb, but he himself seemed

I didn't feel bored at all, because everywhere there was a key point that Zhu Bin could not trust to be completely controlled by others, such as missile bases, aerospace centers, secret research institutes and other institutions.

Relevant archives and analysis summaries were immediately retrieved from the database. After a brief scan, Zhang Yi concluded: "Judged by our standards. This person is not suitable to be a leader in a war zone! When he was young

I once had good qualities, such as never giving up, adhering to principles, etc. But as I grow older, I change.

He must be extremely self-willed, overjoyed at success, and cannot listen to other people's opinions and criticisms. He also likes to be in the limelight! There is even one thing that is very similar to our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, that is, he thinks he is a strategic and tactical genius, likes sudden ideas and is unswerving.

Execution. In short, he is an old stubborn and die-hard!"

Zhu Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He brought up the screen and scanned it quickly. He couldn't help laughing: "Whoops? This old guy is a bit interesting! After taking office, he was afraid that others wouldn't know, and he specially asked people to punish him in the United States.

He did a round of image promotion? This feels a bit like a Hollywood star! He is leading troops to fight, and he is not afraid of killing those poor stunted American boys?"

The corner of Zhang Yi's mouth curled up slightly. He was a well-educated man who was not as wild and uninhibited as Mr. Zhu, but he still felt disdain for MacArthur in his heart. When a general who likes to show off is the commander-in-chief, the people under his command will be worried!

MacArthur really has a way! After receiving the appointment from the US government, the entire Philippines first gave him a flattering national celebration. At the same time, a large number of official and unofficial people in the country touted him in various media, as if he was an Asian people.

The savior, as long as he comes out, the sun will never set.

There is a Chinese saying that goes, "If heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity will be like a long night." This is probably the feeling.

What's interesting is that MacArthur himself was not modest at all and was unquestioning. During the period when he returned to the United States to receive his commission, he frequently went to various high-class gatherings and publicly expressed his views. He had the courage to smash China into scum in one go.

Only because of this, the Chinese intelligence agencies at that time did not take him seriously, thinking that this was a smoke bomb released by the US government to build a plank road in secret. Who knew that his style was completely different from that of the Orientals?

Same, this time it’s for real!

Zhu Bin finished laughing, holding his hair like steel needles, looking at the sky, and sighed: "I thought this battle might be boring, but now that I have sent someone like this, hey, it will be more fun next time.

!Well, so what are the opinions and suggestions of the General Staff on this change?"

There are fewer and fewer people and things that can arouse his interest. If he can meet one, he can't let it go easily!

Zhang Yi called up the document and quickly scanned it, and replied: "Based on the changes in the air force and army on the Korean Peninsula and Japan that we have monitored, we can conclude that they will launch a large-scale cross-river attack! The most likely method is

airborne in huge numbers

The troops seize beachheads and strategic passes, then quickly cross the river in a short period of time, attack Jilin and Liaoning outposts in one go, and then respond to more Japanese main forces moving in. If possible, retake the Northeast and establish a bridgehead and strategic center to attack the whole country!

"

Pushing the picture to Zhu Bin, he added: "The enemy's joint operation plan analyzed by the staff department previously had a similar judgment, but it included an attack by the coalition's maritime forces, and the time was also set in the summer, because of the earthquake

With the impact of volcanoes, there may have been larger adjustments."

"Huh? A mere volcano and earthquake will have such a big impact?"

Zhu Bin was a little surprised. In his opinion, several volcanoes collapsed. The only thing worse was that the coastal cities and ports in Southern Kyushu were unusable, leaving only Nagasaki and Sasebo in Northern Kyushu.

A naval base. Kurume, Kumamoto, Saga, Kitakyushu and other places are given to the Army and Air Force. But the territory is not small, right?

He still underestimated the extent of the Japanese's panic about "Lu Shen". In fact, more than half of the population of Kyushu Island has fled. Even the most insensitive farmers and fishermen have fled as many as they can. The remaining ones are trying their best to return to Japan.

Concentrate in the north! The three main places, Nagasaki, Sasebo, and Kumamoto, and the two major ports were bombed repeatedly. Except for the military and civilians, no one dared to stay. Kumamoto was too close to the volcanic and earthquake zone, and the disaster had a huge impact.

Up to now, the disaster relief work in Minami Kyushu has not been completed. Many people have been buried in the wilderness and rotted without time to bury them. The magma erupted by two huge active volcanoes has spread for tens of kilometers, and the volcanic ash has even covered half of the island. There is no way to survive, and an ecological disaster has occurred!

The lives of foreign devils in the West are precious. They dare not go there to make trouble. Besides, it is too close to China. Bombers and missiles can kill them at any time. It is too unsafe.

All these factors have greatly restricted the actions of the coalition navy. At this time, a large number of engineers and civilians are working day and night to build several military ports and super large bases in Hokkaido.

"If I had known there would be such a big fuss, I should have been gentler. This damn thing seems a bit too violent!"

Zhu Bin muttered a few words in a low voice, but did not admit that he was the biggest saboteur, and then asked: "Then the staff believes that this attack plan was planned without the support of the navy. The old man MacArthur agreed and even encouraged it. The probability of occurrence is more than 80%?"

"Yes! From the analysis of the contents of the message, it should be judged that the Americans are the ones who advocate the implementation of this plan! Regardless of whether there is an induced killing plan that we are executing, they will do it again. Moreover, the Americans are very confident that they can succeed!"

Zhu Bin rubbed his chin and nodded with interest: "It's interesting! Hehe, that's great. I was worried that they would be huddled in their nests and not come out. Then let's set up the flowing table and entertain this large group of international guests. !Give old MacArthur a big meal!"

He doesn't have to worry about formulating specific strategies and tactics. He only needs to set the tone, how far the fight will go, and how much it will cost. More professional people will take care of the rest. This is the advantage of being a big boss who hands off the boss.

Zhang Yi admires his boss's courage in delegating power, employing people with no doubts, and taking fierce action. This kind of magnanimity and magnanimity are rare these days. It is this kind of special system that makes their group of secretly developed young guards The military elite wholeheartedly supports it.

With great speed, Zhu Bin's decision was converted into a specific strategy formulated by the staff, which was passed to the front line like a stream of water. After Yu Baoguo received it, he knew what the big boss meant without even looking at it. There was such a person who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. The bosses are not afraid of the escalation of the war. They only need to be confident that they will win, and then let go of their means to formulate various seemingly whimsical tactics. If there are mistakes, Boss Zhu will always have extraordinary means to make up for them. Shortcomings.

Such a worry-free battle is truly the joy of a lifetime as a soldier!

Intense preparations began immediately, and the fighting between the two sides also escalated rapidly on the border between China and North Korea. The initial small-scale raids and pursuits, and the subsequent premeditated hunting operations gradually ceased.

It has to be said that after the Japanese army reached its potential, its ability to attack and resist losses was really strong!

The first wave of attacks took less than a week and caused a total of about 100,000 casualties. However, with the supplement of the Japanese air and ground forces, although most of the air transportation was intercepted, the hard-working soldiers on the ground relied on manpower to pull them. Pulled by horses, they forcibly drove over the rugged temporary mountain road with 1.5 times the strength! Not only did they make up for the previous battle losses, they even greatly increased the number of troops on the front line!

Combat in the air has also undergone tremendous changes!

Not to mention the number of aircraft that were originally purely for escort and reconnaissance suddenly increased several times. At first, only two superior-performance fighters, the Ultimate Zero Combat Mod and the F4U, were fighting hard. But soon, the US military added the P38 twin-engine heavy fighter and the latest P47

Fighters join the sequence, with various types and fierce firepower!

These two types of fighters have greatly supplemented the originally very monotonous and weak Japanese air force. Especially the large number of enthusiastic and unrestrained American pilots have greatly increased the number of experienced air knights. Coupled with the various ceiling altitudes exceeding 12,000

meters of advanced aircraft, the air combat power on the entire China-North Korea border has begun to undergo qualitative changes!

I have to mention here that the existence of the P38 has greatly solved the shortcomings of the original ground attack power. This twin-engine fighter has thick skin and thick flesh. The 20mm cannon on the nose has fierce firepower and extremely high endurance. At low altitudes

When circling and attacking the ground, it was much better than the shabby Japanese ones, and it immediately reversed the serious and unfavorable situation of frontline killing.

With the emergence of this kind of fighter plane, the previous scene of "Peregrine Falcons" running around and attacking unscrupulously has been greatly changed! When encountering an opponent who is equally strong and has both air and ground attack capabilities, the simple "

"Peregrine Falcon" inevitably seemed a bit weak. So air superiority fighters joined in.

It’s so lively now!

The Chinese Air Force followed the call of the ground unit, radar warning, and high-altitude reconnaissance, while the Japanese and American coalition forces simply stayed on duty on a daily basis, with a huge fleet of aircraft hovering around the border all day long. They themselves also knew that when they go out,

You will definitely meet your opponent. The only thing left is who wins and who loses.

Neither the Americans nor the Japanese have any delusions about rushing over to launch a surprise attack, because that is simply impossible. The radar defense line set up by the other side has almost no blind spots, except for a few desperate pilots who are in the valley of less than 400 meters.

Traveling carefully, there is almost no chance of others escaping detection.

In the past, it was less. It was like delivering food, but it was better to hold on to the position steadily and cause trouble to the other party!

The battlefield between the two sides was wide open, and the number of dispatched fighter planes also slowly increased. From the beginning, the Japanese and American coalition forces gradually counterattacked, and soon they became constantly attacking the radar defense line, seducing the Chinese fighter planes on the opposite side to come out to drive them away.

, and then swarmed up to fight in groups. Because of the sharp radar, there was basically no illusion about the suddenness. But the numerical advantage has always been on the side of the coalition forces!

So in the next few days, the combat tasks of Li Hanfeng and his team became more and more arduous. They did not have to provoke the Japanese fortress, but they were chased by search troops all over the mountains and plains. At the same time, they had to respond to orders issued at any time.

, rush to specific coordinates to rescue the Chinese pilot who was shot down and parachuted!

Yes, no matter how excellent the Chinese fighter planes are, one of them will inevitably be shot down in a group fight. Especially on the northern battlefield, the second-generation Flying Shark is mainly dominant. Although its performance is superior to the coalition forces, the missile can be mounted far away.

It is not as luxurious and wealthy as the navy, so machine-gun battles occur from time to time. Over time, it is inevitable that people will make mistakes and horses will stumble.

However, the problem of lack of pilots will soon be solved. Among the reintegrated Chinese military forces, the scale of air force construction has begun to spread on a large scale due to nationwide unified actions, and tens of thousands of novices have begun training in various places.

The center is in full swing. Zhu Bin's request is to provide no less than 100,000 qualified pilots, no less than 300,000 ground staff, no less than 500,000 related reserve forces, and no less than 500,000 relevant reserve forces within two years.

Less than 2 million aircraft production workers.

This is not an easy requirement to meet. The standards for pilots in other countries are much lower than that, because they do not need to learn how to use airborne radar, how to use missiles for long-range combat, and how to adapt to large numbers. It may take them a lifetime to learn.

air tactics. Another thing is that so many simulated flight training cabins need to be produced---the higher the technology content, the more troublesome it is!

In short, although the battle losses on the front line will never exceed five to one, and basically Chinese pilots can parachute to escape, everyone knows that when the Yankees' terrible private reserves gradually explode, it will form a locust-like disaster!

With advanced fighters alone, if the number of people does not reach a certain base, it will definitely be overwhelmed!
To be continued...
