Chapter 202 What a lunatic Su
Wu Zhongguo, the Marine Corps, and the others knew that the early Battle of Songhu was initiated by the Japanese Marine Corps, but their understanding of the Marine Corps was limited to this name. It sounded like it had something to do with the Navy, but according to their performance during the Battle of Songhu, they seemed to have no other difference from the Army?
However, after hearing Su Dao's words that he wanted to build a Marine Corps, Wu Zhongguo subconsciously shouted, "This kid is definitely crazy. It doesn't matter if you build a navy of 10,000 people. We can accumulate talents slowly first, so we will avoid ships or soldiers in the future. Anyway, he also knows Su Dao's background, and Wu Zhongguo understands the ten warships that have been built, so Wu Zhongguo does not think there is anything special about this issue.
However, the key to the problem lies in this Marine Corps. Based on the Marine Corps in my impression, it is estimated that Su Dao is expanding his army in a variety of ways. It is said to be a Marine Corps, but in fact it is just an infantryman.
"Haha, it seems that I need to explain in detail." Su Dao looked at Wu Zhongguo and Yang Shuming's confused expressions, and then he knew that these two people didn't know what kind of troops the Marine Corps was.
Although Yang Shuming was born in the navy and had also been abroad, when he went abroad, he only studied surface ship combat when he was abroad. He knew little about the new type of military force, such as the Marine Corps. Moreover, it seems that no country in the world except the United States seems to have formed a Marine Corps separately, and more often appear as infantry.
However, for Su Dao, who later generations, the Marine Corps played a crucial role. Although it seems to be no different from the Army on the surface, these two types of troops are essentially different. Moreover, Su Dao will never allow any excessive damage to the troops when landing in the future. To solve this problem, the best way is to train a professional landing force, and the Marine Corps needs to appear at this time.
"The Marine Corps is actually a naval force, mainly responsible for naval ground operations, amphibious operations and ship-based combat forces. Its main function is to land on the beach and protect the safety of escort ships, etc. Although many responsibilities are almost the same as those of the army, one thing we must realize is that it will be common in the future to cross the ocean. It will be very difficult for our army to land on the beach directly. After all, they are basically landslides, and it is good to guarantee that they will not be seasick. Are you expecting them to fight? So at this time, the Marine Corps will be used. They can directly land on the warships, and open a safe landing site for the main army forces, so that more soldiers can be put into places where they are needed." Su Dao thought about it and decided not to explain the responsibilities of the Marine Corps too clearly for the time being, let the two understand it first.
Regarding the Navy. Yang Shuming is a veteran. He gave him a Marine Corps of 10,000 people. He will naturally know what to train on weekdays. To put it bluntly, an old driver broke down while driving a car, and this old driver often goes to repair cars. Once the car breaks down, he must know the general reason. This is the reason for asking Yang Shuming to train the Marine Corps himself. The Navy always knows the uses of the Marine Corps more than his army.
"Well, after hearing what the military captain said, I think it seems necessary to form a Marine Corps." Yang Shuming nodded understandingly. Of course, he was not cooperating with Su Dao, but actually seeing the role of the Marine Corps. Moreover, from Su Dao's words, Yang Shuming's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent.
It’s like if you ask an ordinary infantry to drive a tank and fly an airplane. Although sometimes he can drive it in luck, he is definitely the most amateur player. The same is true for landing operations. Instead of specially training a landing army, it’s better to directly assign a ground force to the navy, so that the navy can mobilize them at any time, and make them more familiar with the process of naval combat, which can minimize casualties during landing.
Wu Zhongguo, who had cheated and cheated, found no reason to refute. The 20,000 new recruits were successfully included in the naval organization by Su Dao. Of course, the selection of people was left to Yang Shuming, and the officers were selected from the existing army. Anyway, the military was planned to expand the army now, and the combat effectiveness of the 99th Army has basically reached the bottom, so I am not afraid of being lowered.
However, Su Dao is not the kind of person who blames the world. It is inevitable that the army's combat effectiveness will expand to the bottom. However, Su Dao didn't want to just wait for the Japanese to not cause trouble for themselves. Besides, the Japanese are not fools. Taking advantage of your loss of combat effectiveness, seize the opportunity and send only two or three divisions to defeat Jinxi, the old nest of the Ninety-Ninth Army.
Taking this into consideration, Su Dao made another bold decision in his heart. Well, we can't wait for the Kwantung Army to come and cause trouble for us. We should go and find trouble for the Kwantung Army, so that they don't want to act rashly, but this requires a very careful plan. After thinking about it, Su Dao seemed to have thought of a solution. Last year, the chairman seemed to send two bombers to the sky over Tokyo to release leaflets, which really scared the Japanese. Should we come here last time?
Su Dao is not an indecisive person. After thinking about something, he thought it was feasible, Su Dao would immediately prepare. This time the same thing happened. He thought about it and did it. Some people might ask, why should he put a flyer? Not a bomb? This means Su Dao’s huge Guoguang plan. Although the Japanese surrender was good, it had no benefit to Su Dao. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the Japanese continue to jump around and just withdraw from the territory of China.
If the Japanese cannot defeat the west then, and the Japanese are unwilling to be lonely, they will naturally go to other Asian countries and the United States, which is far away from the ocean, to mess up the Pacific Ocean. This is in line with Su Dao's interests, and Su Dao did not plan to succeed in one go. After all, his strength is far from enough now. The Japanese suddenly withdrew from the Chinese battlefield, and Su Dao could not get any benefits.
So from a long-term plan, only when Su Dao's troops reach more than one million will he be able to truly force the Japanese to withdraw his troops. Now it is very exciting and may not be able to make a wedding dress for the chairman. After all, the people are still standing on the national justice, while Su Dao is just a commander of the front army with the commander of the Sixth War Zone above his head. If Japan withdraws its troops, this contribution will not be counted on him either public or private.
"Go and notify whom. Meijiro Umezu is still a thing. I just said that I want to talk to him. The time is set on March 1st, and the location is in Beizhen. The old devil dare not come." Su Dao shouted loudly in the military headquarters. They had already mastered the communication methods of the Kwantung Army. Even without him, there was no need to worry about not being able to contact Meijiro Umezu. At most, it was just a clear telegram. However, Su Dao did not intend to let too many people know about this meeting.
First, Su Dao does not have the ability to continue fighting again now, and second, to shock the Japanese, don’t act rashly, so the fewer people know, the better. This will not only save the Japanese, but also achieve your own goals. Sooner or later, I will deal with the Kwantung Army, and I won’t be in a hurry.
As for the negotiation location, it was naturally located in Beizhen north of Jinzhou and south of Montenegro. It was the military division line between the 99th Army and the Kwantung Army. Neither side sent too many soldiers there. Subconsciously, both sides regarded it as a buffer zone. However, Montenegro, not far from Beizhen, was involved in the troops of a brigade transferred by the Eastern Army. The large troops of the 99th Army were also near Jinzhou. From the distance, the Kwantung Army still had some advantages, but that didn't seem important. As long as Su Dao was willing, it would be fine to directly send special forces to destroy Meizu Mijiro.
The troops won a great victory, and the entire army was in excitement. The people in the recovered areas also held various celebrations, but Su Dao's behavior was worrying. Since the victory, Su Dao's performance seemed to be becoming more and more rampant. Not only did he expand ten divisions in one breath, but of course, there were three divisions in name, and the ten divisions expanded were expanded in the name of local security forces. But anyone with discerning eyes knew that the equipment of these ten divisions was definitely the same as the Ninety-Nine Army, so he subconsciously regarded these ten divisions as the Ninety-Nine Army.
I don't know this, but I was really shocked when I calculated it. In the blink of an eye, Su Dao's troops could control had more than 500,000 troops. If this was placed in the hands of the chairman, it would have to be at least a total force of more than 30 divisions. Su Dao seemed not satisfied, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he insisted on going to talk to the commander of the Kwantung Army.
"Nani Sudao wants to talk to me?" Meijiro Umezu stayed in the Kanto Army headquarters in Shinkyo, his forehead wrinkled into a line, and he looked at his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Iimura, with surprise.
"Yes, the commander, the location is in the North Town south of Montenegro. Do you want to go to the meeting?" Ryo Iimura focused on the North Town, and the intention was to remind Umezu Mijiro to be careful that this was a trap. Su Dao deliberately set the location not far from Montenegro, but it was very likely that he was numbing him.
Although the 99th Army had already reported that it had expanded ten divisions, it was still in the recruitment stage. The combat effectiveness of their original troops still existed. If Su Dao really wanted to do something, there would be no way after Umezu Mijiro went there.
