Chapter 409 Zhenhai

(...The most important thing to fight foreign aggression is internal unity. I did not hesitate to organize many factions because of this. I know that in this way, I will have more enemies, but I must not do so... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

There was no delay in the front-line military meeting. Before Cao Xiaomin arrived, all the generals gathered: the news from the rear was already clear, and Cao Xiaomin actually took Xu Yuanquan himself and raided Xu's house! Who dares to offend such an iron-fisted figure easily?

Although the law of sitting in a joint has been promulgated, many generals in high positions are somewhat confident: I am leading the soldiers in front of me, and just find an excuse, I can probably get over it, right? Are you really good at doing it?... But Cao Xiaomin did it really amazing, not only arresting Xu Yuanquan's family, but also scavenging all their property!

Even if one day, Chairman Jiang became kind and released you, a revolutionary veteran, can you still be repaid? Even if you return the land and real estate, can those yellow and white things be freed up? Cao Xiaomin's move actually hit the most painful part of all those with high power!

However, what makes everyone dare not to show off their respect in front of Cao Xiaomin is the matter on the battlefield: Who dares to conceive such a battle? Who dares to fight? Who can fight? Who can win?! Only Cao Xiaomin!

Everyone has benefited from this battle. This is definitely a great victory that has been recorded in history. Even if I have been so embarrassed on the battlefield, as long as I have participated in this battle, my descendants will know that their ancestors are national heroes who have participated in the "Datong Victory" hundreds of years later!

Cao Xiaomin now has won the awe of generals of all senior levels. He is no longer Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general or a general who can reach the peak of power by engaging in internal struggles. He is simply not a human being on earth to make such a plan to gather the whole country to annihilate a front army of the Japanese army, but he actually implemented it like this and did it. He is not a human, he is a god, a god of war!

"It is not easy to encircle and annihilate the enemy Navy's 11th Team. They still have a considerable area of ​​activity. I have to regret to tell you that all the heavy bombs against ships imported from the UK have been reported..." The difficulties Cao Xiaomin emphasized at the beginning made other generals at the meeting pour a basin of cold water: It is different from other warships. Although the normal 25-kilogram bombs in the army can also have a considerable lethality to warships, there are not many bombs that can blow through the deck and sink the warships directly. The Chinese Air Force did not intend to have too many preparations for attacking enemy ships.

"The biggest trouble for the enemy now is supply. Obviously, after the Yangtze River is cut off, this fleet will not receive any supplements. Their food and other daily necessities will be very scarce, so we must do a good job of blockade of the Yangtze River to deal with them..." Cao Xiaomin looked at Ouyang Ge (because of Cao Xiaomin's time travel, Ouyang Ge was not arrested for losing Madang. At this time, he has become a national hero and continues to become the leader of the lightning and thunder system), and asked him to take out the navy's blockade plan.

Ouyang Ge swept Chen Shaokuan with his eyes, stood up and said, "Our general and the defenders of Datong Fort have joined forces to seal the Yangtze River to death. There is no other tactics. Only the dead soldiers and mines form an "active thunder" to cooperate with various anchor thunders to prevent the Japanese army from clearing the waterway... In addition, our army has no iron ship available, and the name of the navy is really fake. Please ask General Cao to consider..."

When Chen Shaokuan heard this, his face turned red: You Ouyang Ge is Ming asking Cao Xiaomin for my boat!

At this time, the Chinese Navy only had warships in the Yangtze River Basin, but the first was the second fleet's two gunboats and an observation ship, ten shallow-water gunboats and one torpedo ship; these were all the assets of the Fujian Navy, and Ouyang Ge's lightning system had used up all their assets. Two of the torpedo boats that attacked the Japanese fleet this time were originally "lent" to the lightning system by Chiang Kai-shek in order to cooperate with Cao Xiaomin's plan. The other two were temporarily purchased from the British and have served as "demonstration ships" for many years to use to go to retired torpedo boats between Nanjing and Wuhan.

It is absolutely impossible to continue to buy warships from other countries. Now the only ship that can be freed up for the Lightning and Thunder System is the first and second fleet under Chen Shaokuan. How can Chen Shaokuan not be in a hurry?

Cao Xiaomin turned his eyes to Chen Shaokuan: "General Chen's first and second fleet will defend Ma Dang in this battle, but it is very far from the battlefield..."

Chen Shaokuan felt a stern: Cao Xiaomin is really going to attack him!

But Chen Shaokuan had no capital to fight back at all: he only learned about the combat plan this time when he finally arrived at the front line. Cao Xiaomin understood that the factions in the army had not considered the first and second fleets as a combat force before!

This cannot be entirely Cao Xiaomin's own decision. This person dares to use the National Air Force to bet on a great victory. It would be a miracle that he can have useful troops in his hands. This must be Chiang Kai-shek's method after this!

Obviously, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to further weaken the Fujian division in the navy: the Fujian division had not achieved any achievements in this battle, and he was like a fool sitting here; the lightning division ranked first and the troops participating in the war were almost wiped out, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take the opportunity to evenly transfer the first and second fleets to Ouyang Ge!

But there is no way: the lightning system is a faction of the Central Army, and it is inevitable that Chiang Kai-shek would prefer the lightning system. In the past, the navy could not buy into the central government because of its special status, but now it is completely unable to compete with the central government: not only the navy has lost the giant ships and cannons that threaten the army, but also because it is now compressed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, almost all supplies and operations rely deeply on the supply and cooperation of the army. To put it bluntly, the navy is nothing more than the army's surface combat forces or even a branch of the river defense forces!

"How will General Cao arrange the allocation of warships?" Chen Shaokuan's voice trembled slightly. He understood that although he was old enough and deeply rooted in the navy, he was completely unable to compete with Cao Xiaomin now. Does Cao Xiaomin dare to take Xu Yuanquan and dare not touch him? Although his first and second fleets did not have any escapes, they did not exert any force in the war. It would be too simple for Cao Xiaomin to take out a crime of negative combat. The current victory will definitely set off a surging wave of resistance across the country in less than three days. Cao Xiaomin said that whoever is the sinner is the sinner...

"My plan is to place Jiang Zhen shallow water gunboat, Jiang Yuan shallow water gunboat, Chu Tong shallow water gunboat, Chu Guan shallow water gunboat, Chu Qian shallow water gunboat, Lake Falcon torpedo speedboat, Minquan gunboat, Minsheng gunboat, Yongsui shallow water gunboat, Jiangxi shallow water gunboat, and Jiang Kun shallow water gunboat all under General Ouyang to prepare for the next stage of combat..." As soon as Cao Xiaomin finished speaking, Chen Shaokuan bounced up!

This is to divide the entire Second Fleet into the Lightning and Thunder System. In this way, Chen Shaokuan has only two gunboats with slightly larger tonnage, and the Fujian Navy will become a historical term!

"This... How did this make..." Chen Shaokuan's lips tremble. He thought he would be slaughtered, but he never expected that such a knife would be, which was fatal!

"The Second Fleet shrank its horses and avoided the war in a big war. I had just ordered the commander of the Fortress Bao Changyi to take over the commander of the Second Fleet to take over all the commanders of the Second Fleet to take over all the gunboats of the Second Fleet; at the same time, the commanders of the Jiang Defense from Sichuan to Hubei were also ordered to manage the two gunboats of Yongsui, Jiangxi and Jiangkun; these warship gunboats are waiting for General Ouyang to receive..." Cao Xiaomin stared at Chen Shaokuan and said, "In my eyes of Cao, there are two types of people, soldiers or warlords. The former spared no effort to fight against foreign aggression. I naturally strongly support such soldiers. As long as he dares to beat me, let him fight, and make a fortune! As for the latter, I only know how to preserve factions and even compete with the central government. Sooner or later, I will make him lose all his bad reputation for such a person!"

Resolute, vicious, without any room! Cao Xiaomin actually took action to dismantle the second fleet of the Navy's most crowded troops in more than two hours after the recess! Directly receiving force does not give any chance to delay compromise. What is Cao Xiaomin's right to do this? This is not an ordinary army mobilization task, but a military system related to the entire army!... If Cao Xiaomin has this power, it must be Chiang Kai-shek's own actions behind his back! The other generals here were silent, and they were all thinking about Cao Xiaomin's last words: "I only know to use factions to preserve power or even fight against the Central Committee. I will sooner or later make him lose all the bad things!"... This is telling Chen Shaokuan: The Fujian Navy is over, and there is only the Central Navy in the future. You'd better retreat as soon as possible, otherwise the outcome will be terrible!

Chen Ce, the boss of the Guangdong Navy, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but feel weak all over, and felt like something hurting him...

"You... do you have the right to do this?" Chen Shaokuan was anxious and angry, unable to control himself from standing up and trying to rush forward to get into trouble with Cao Xiaomin. Several generals next to him quickly grabbed him.

"Don't you know what power I have? Do you know what power I have? Do you know what power I have? How many years have you been a soldier? The general star on your shoulders is not drawn, right?" Cao Xiaomin replied coldly: "If my order is issued, it will definitely be executed. Those who dare to disobey will be killed, and those who dare to disobey will be killed. Sit in the family and search!"

"Committee, the meeting is over, the Navy accepts everything is normal..." Zhang Qun put down the phone and walked to Chiang Kai-shek to report. Chiang Kai-shek actually arrived in Chizhou in person in the morning!

From the Jiangyin War, ordering the navy to weaken its power by sinking warships to weakening its power to the day when the navy was compressed into the Yangtze River and was completely controlled by the army to Cao Xiaomin's thundering method this morning, the Chinese navy was finally completely controlled by the central government... Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, looking very tired...
