Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Section 66 of Iron Horse Glacier’s Strike East…
Being able to take on the most elite legions of the Tanghe Empire are naturally not some soft bastards. From resisting the offensive of the Liberians in the north to suppressing the uprising of slaves and poor people, these troops are all experienced in many battles. It's just that they started to go downhill after facing the rising western Xinjiang forces headed by Li Wufeng, but this is not because of the army itself, but because the bureaucratic mechanism formed by the Tanghe Empire has been seriously weakened for a long time. The combat effectiveness of the army was directly caused by the collapse of the dynasty in the later period, but they still maintained the most basic primitive qualities in terms of training and combat experience.
Mu Lige's powerful style quickly rescued a group of people who had lost their goals and seemed very decadent and negative. As the third person in the army after Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu, Mu Lige not only It is his outstanding military exploits, and more importantly, he is His Majesty's absolute confidant, and he is also an alumnus of His Majesty's Tanghe Imperial Military Academy. It has been built into the top three troops in the empire, and its tone has attracted the attention of the whole army. At the same time, it has also inspired the remnants of the Tanghe Empire who have been idle for a long time. Especially after Mulige took over, all kinds of supplies And a large number of advanced weapons and equipment were replenished in place in the shortest time, and these remnants saw that their fate seemed to have ushered in a glimmer of light.
Mulig also vetoed his idea of recruiting officers from the graduates of the two military academies of the empire, and instead directly asked the unanimous support of the existing remnant soldiers. The officers were unanimously worried about this issue. Being taken over by some young officers from the military academy, whether enlisted or rank-and-file, it is unlikely that they will be accepted anytime soon. This will inevitably greatly affect the formation speed of the army, and will also leave some barriers and shadows in the army, so when Mulig's latest selection method was introduced, it almost immediately caused an uproar in the entire Eleventh Legion. Disrupt the rules of seniority, encourage self-recommendation and participate in the assessment, and all officers at all levels are selected from existing soldiers and officers. This not only maintains fairness, but also greatly encourages the enthusiasm of grassroots soldiers.
The fully mobilized Imperial Eleventh Army quickly turned into a howling tiger and wolf division. In addition to the original quality, Muliger's subsequent military training further condensed their military spirit, and a brand new Imperial Eleventh Army appeared before them.
And when Mulige led this tiger-wolf army that had regained its vigor and appeared on the land of India, the entire legion held the idea of making contributions outside the empire and rebuilding itself. The mind of Wu Xun, a passionate man who wholeheartedly wants to prove his worth by opening up territory for the empire.
The climate at the eastern foot of the Barakra Mountains is much cooler than that of the Indian interior. Although the Barakra Mountains do not stretch for a long distance, they are extremely dangerous and steep. Peaks above the snow line can be seen everywhere, and the entire climate also presents a kind of alpine The vertical distribution of regions. Muliger chose to walk through meadows and shrubbery areas at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. The vegetation is lush, but it is relatively flat.
Although the morale is strong, these soldiers from the northern part of the empire are obviously not used to the high mountain terrain, which is what Mulig is worried about. Crossing the Barkla mountains is not very difficult, the problem is to maintain relative speed. Three ranger regiments have advanced from the valley between Dexin Province and Destin Province, and it is estimated that they will enter the South Tengger Grassland soon, and once they enter the South Tengger Grassland, they will be even more powerful. It is possible to reach the border of Hanover within a few days, that is to say, if the Imperial Eleventh Army wants to keep up, it has to pass through the Bakla Mountains within a week.
Fortunately, the intelligence department has already equipped the Eleventh Legion with guides who are very familiar with the terrain. They can think of many ways to help soldiers from the interior of the empire who are not adapting to the local conditions, and they barely maintain a relatively fast speed of action. .
Steven, who had wiped off his sweat, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The aggressive Tang army finally retreated after a day of attack. Could it be that this is the so-called invincible Tang army? Steven shook his head. Suvorov's words seemed to be somewhat untrue. He was probably looking for a fig leaf for his failure. Although the Tang army's offensive continued continuously, they were not determined to fight and lacked that kind of support. Birja City is solid, but the Tang army's repeated attacks have been too weak, until the next few waves of offensives still look good, but in Birja With such a strict and complete defense system and the guard of the White Crane Corps, the Tang army's attack method is not enough to shake Birja's stability at all.
Steven also knows that Tang Jun must have some more advanced and powerful offensive equipment that has not yet been put on the stage, but he has made a detailed analysis. Even if Tang Jun's attack power doubles again, he is still sure If this situation persists, it can be said that the Tang army's offensive has not touched Birja's muscles at all.
Standing aside, Niasis was not as optimistic as Steven. He always had a bad feeling. Although Tang Jun's posture was fierce, his fighting power was really lackluster. The method is outdated, the siege equipment is single, and some new siege weapons listed in the intelligence have not been seen. It seems that the Tang army is deliberately hiding its strength, but since they are going to attack Birja, how can they hide their secrets? Don't they know that such an attack is impossible to cause much damage to Birja?
Are they really planning to break through and attack Dansk from the end of the Stanna Mountains in the south? It is the mainland of the Principality of Hanover, the most southeast pass and important port of the Principality of Hanover. Gdansk's defense system is no worse than that of Birja. Sith couldn't think of the reason why Tang Jun would look far away.
Seeing the distracted look on his deputy's face, Steven seemed to know Niassis' worry: "Niasis, are you worried that the Tang army may divert to break through from Gdansk? Don't worry too much. Worry, I have seen Gdansk's defense system before, it is not much worse than Birja, the Hanoverians fight and defend on their own territory, their fighting desire and will will be more tenacious, although the number of troops is less, but once they encounter foreign invasion, they will The war mobilization will definitely be carried out immediately. I believe that in a big city like Gdansk, it should be easy to mobilize and recruit tens of thousands of people temporarily, which is to defend their own country, which is no different from ours.”
"Well, Mr. Steven, we can imagine this kind of situation, and the Tang people should also imagine it. Then why do you think Tang Jun made such a bad move?" Niassis asked back.
"Well, this is also where I have some doubts. Gdansk still has a fleet of the Alliance Navy, and the Tang people have not yet established a decent navy in the Baltic Sea or even the Aegean Sea. They attack from the sea. The possibility is not high, then you said how Tang Jun broke through Gdansk, could it be that they put on a bluff here and concentrated all the elites to Gdansk?" Steven pondered. The camps of the Tang Army under the city wall stretched for ten miles, the banners covered the sky, and the infantry formation was closing in. The movement of the Tang Army's troops could not be seen, and the scouts who left the city had not received any accurate information so far. They only said that there were signs that the Tang Army's troops were Moving towards the southern tip of the Sterna Range, but in ominous numbers.
Niasis was still pondering whether the Tang army would have other strategies, but was misled by Steven's assumption, "This possibility is also possible, but the Tang army's battle plan is a bit too scattered. "
"Well~IndoMTL.com~I have already informed the Hannover military, and asked them to provide us with reinforcements immediately. On the other hand, I also reminded them to be careful about Gdansk. The Tang army may focus on Gdansk. I hope they can respond in time." Steven said smartly.
"That's all. I hope the people of Hanover can respond in time. Once Gdansk is lost, we will have to withdraw our troops from Birja immediately. No matter how strong Birja is, if the Tang army steals the way, then we We can only die without a fight, and we have to keep an eye on the changes in the situation in Gdansk." Niassis replied.
Actually, Steven and Niassis cannot be blamed. Neither of them would have thought that the Tang Army's combat plan and will would be so large and strong that they would cross from the Barak Mountains to the Tengger Grassland to make a sneak attack thousands of miles away. The arrest of Hanover is no longer simply a matter of unifying the Indian region. To do so is undoubtedly to directly launch a comprehensive challenge to the entire Hansen League. In their view, the strategic purpose of the Tang Army is to recover the entire Indian region and complete their West Indian County, and Birja is their focus, and other places should be some means of cover and containment. However, even Gdansk is most likely to want to mobilize the Hanoverian army. If it is really necessary to capture Gdansk, it will inevitably turn into a full-scale war that the Tang Empire and the Hansen Alliance have only seen.
