Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
The brief fall of Baling and its recovery also made Cheng Dayou once again feel the power of the western Xinjiang. This kind of power is not reflected in the military power itself, but more through the bit by bit throughout the war. It has been shown that intelligence, internal affairs, security, logistics, and diplomacy all come down to the node of war in the end. The Yuejing people were able to counterattack in vain at critical moments, which directly led to the embarrassment of the Maqihan people who had taken the lead. Fleeing, isn't this a replica of Qiu Zicheng's mutiny in Huanggang?
Situ Biao's defeat was not unjust, and the Maqihan people should also be convinced by such a result. When you are still obsessed with using the strength of the army to prove yourself, the other party has already leisurely used various means to trap you firmly. , use all kinds of power to make your brute force invisible bit by bit, and finally give you a fatal blow. This is Xijiang's strategy, and this is what Cheng Dayou has done in the past two years after careful analysis of Xijiang The resulting analysis results.
When Cheng Dayou saw that the huge templates unloaded from the transport ship were gradually assembled into a vivid geographical topographic map of Anqing, Wenning and Ningxia, he realized that he had actually fallen behind in many aspects in Xijiang up. When I was still worrying about the surveying and mapping talents of large-scale maps, Xijiang had already popularized precision maps at the division level, and the command organization at the army level was equipped with this kind of giant movable sand table. The funds required for a sand table that can display all geographical terrain in detail should be an astronomical figure, from surveying to mapping, from mapping to completion of the model, which of these does not require a large number of professionals, and Xijiang can To do this, it will take at least a few years to prepare.
Liang Chongxin was not surprised by Cheng Dayou's surprised expression. This kind of sand table combat demonstration is currently only being implemented in the western border of the Eastern Continent. The giant sand table can truly restore the geographical terrain, which is a bit more intuitive than the precise map. It is more conducive to the commander to accurately analyze the situation and deploy troops.
"Brother Chongxin, compared with your First Legion, our Eighth Legion is like a beggar. Let alone just now I saw the equipment of your First Legion soldiers. I don't care about this kind of giant sand table. I only vaguely heard that those military powers in the Western Continent have begun to use it. But I didn’t expect that our Western Xinjiang would also be used in actual combat. , I’m afraid it will take countless painstaking efforts and funds to create it. If it is to be popularized and promoted, it will really make His Royal Highness Qin heartbroken.” Fingers gently stroked this sand table made of a special kind of clay, The love and cherish that flashed in Cheng Dayou's eyes did not conceal it at all. This kind of high-end goods seemed to be tailor-made by the military department, and it might even be made for this battle. But to achieve such a detailed level, the painstaking efforts required are beyond the imagination of laymen.
"Hehe, Brother Dayou, first of all, I need to correct a mistake of yours. It is not the first army of my Liang Chongxin, but the first army of His Royal Highness King Qin. The Western Frontier Army has only one leader, and that is His Highness King Qin. Chongxin is just one of them. It's just the commander of a legion. As for the equipment of the soldiers, His Royal Highness King Qin and the Military Affairs Department have never hesitated to spend on the soldiers. In the eyes of King Qin, the life of every soldier is the most precious, especially those who have experienced The soldiers who grew up in the **** battle are the most precious wealth in the Xijiang Army. The reason why Xijiang can be so strong is that there are these loyal, passionate and experienced soldiers. As for His Royal Highness, will the heartache , I don’t think so, well, maybe Financial Secretary James will be heartbroken, but I think even if Secretary James suffers from angina because of this cost, His Royal Highness King Qin will turn a blind eye to it.”
First, he reminded the other party about the wording used, then explained with a smile, and finally made a joke to relax the atmosphere. Liang Chongxin managed the atmosphere of the conversation very well, after all, the other party just joined the Xijiang camp recently. , I don't know much about the internal situation in Xijiang, and it will take some time for the opponent to adapt to the military traditions of Xijiang.
It seems that Cheng Dayou didn't hear the hidden hint in Liang Chongxin's words. Cheng Dayou is still intoxicated by the perfect reproduction of this giant sand table. The topographic features of Anqing and Wenning are clearly displayed on this sand table. Clearly, every mountain, every lake, every path, every pass, and the text on the newly added small chessboard also marked the latest situation of the enemy's garrison without omission. The latest information after corrections have been made to the latest information provided by the department.
"Brother Chongxin, His Royal Highness King Qin wants you and me to discuss the strategy for the follow-up battle on our own. Now that Baling is in hand, the Eighth Army has also completed the initial reorganization with the two independent divisions of the former Southern Military Region. Qiu Zicheng's department The reorganization of this book has also come to an end, I wonder what brother Chongxin thinks about this battle?" Cheng Dayou raised his head after circling the sand table twice, and asked thoughtfully: "Your Highness, do you want to fight?" Let our two legions take Jiangnan in one fell swoop or stop at Wuhu, I don’t know what Brother Chongxin thinks about this point?"
Standing in front of the window with arms folded all the time, looking at the rolling river in the distance, Liang Chongxin seemed not at all interested in the strategic situation displayed on the sand table in front of him, and he seemed a little slow to Cheng Dayou's question, as if on purpose Showing off in front of the other party is generally unwilling to answer casually, but Cheng Dayou knows that the other party must have been considering his words. The two legions do not sound strong, but Situ Biao's current strength has been severely weakened. The situation of the Wenning and Jinhua prefectures is no different from Situ Yuan's situation in defending Quanzhou back then. The two armies have more than 200,000 elite troops, plus Tian Jinbao's Taihu Navy, perhaps it is not a lie to capture Jiangnan.
"Brother Dayou, how is the situation in Huzhou now?" Without directly answering Cheng Dayou's question, Liang Chongxin suddenly asked about the battle situation in Huzhou.
Slightly stunned, Cheng Dayou immediately replied: "Situ Tai seems to have given up his attempt to capture Huzhou. Tian Jinbao, Kuang Tianbiao and the others fought very well in the interception battle along the shore of Taihu Lake. Situ Tai's army seems to be a little uncomfortable Greatly adapting to this method of warfare, the progress was slow. After learning of the surprise attack on Yueyang and the Huanggang Mutiny, he simply withdrew his troops completely and directly withdrew from the border of Huzhou. He only kept a small part of his troops in the area of Huanglong Cave at the northern end of Huzhou to maintain a monitoring situation, and the rest of his troops were all shrunk. Back to Pengcheng."
"Well, it seems that Situ Tai doesn't want to entangle us in the south. He probably also found that his two legions seem not suitable for fighting in the climate and geographical environment of the south. I heard that he is currently actively fighting in Donghai County. It is a good idea to prepare for the establishment of the Southeast Army, trying to replace the First and Second Army to defend the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea with a localized army." Liang Chongxin said thoughtfully, "The more he doesn't want us to challenge the south If there is a war, it seems that we should find some troubles in the south to make him feel uncomfortable. If we can hold Situ Tai's hands and feet in the south, maybe Wenxiu and the others will bear much less pressure in the north."
Brother Chongxin, what do you think Situ Tai is up to? Didn't he and the Dorton people join forces in the north? Then they should occupy a considerable advantage there, why are they reluctant to launch an offensive? Didn't he know that once His Highness King Qin took Jiangnan, he would have almost no chance? "This question has been bothering Cheng Dayou for quite a long time. He was puzzled by it before joining Xijiang. Although he made many guesses and assumptions, he still couldn't convince himself.
"Well, I'm afraid this question is bothering many people. I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness King Qin may not be able to give a definite and accurate answer. Perhaps only Situ Tai himself can make it clear. I have also analyzed this issue with Zi Zi and the others. , especially after the two regiments of the Dortons entered the Yanyun area, Situ Tai had an absolute advantage at that time, but he did not take advantage of the situation to launch an offensive ~IndoMTL.com~ This is probably Situ Tai's only The opportunity, but he let it go.” Liang Chongxin, like Cheng Dayou, was once troubled by this problem, but as time went by, things changed, and now the Fifth Army and the Third Army, plus the Terok Army, have also been troubled. He was transferred to the front line to strengthen the defense. At this time, even if Situ Tai wanted to launch an offensive, it would be difficult to take advantage of it.
"I guess there are several reasons. The first is his food supply. Although Yan Yun obtained a considerable amount of supplements from the Japanese, the drought in the north is too severe, and Yan Yun is the root of Situ Tai. , he couldn't and didn't dare to let Yanyun's situation deteriorate too much, so he had to take out a considerable amount of food to calm the pressure from the people, and this also affected his army's supplies to a certain extent, but this should not be the main reason. Second, It is probably because he encountered difficulties in raising military expenses in the imperial capital, which affected the operation of his army, but my personal opinion is not enough to affect the overall situation. According to the analysis of his personality, he over-conserves his own military strength, and always hopes to use the strength of other people to achieve the purpose of consuming the enemy's strength. At the beginning, Xijiang did suffer considerable losses, and the Luobei people and the Luzon people put forward The posture is even more like defeating us in one fell swoop. In this case, perhaps Situ Tai hopes that the Luzon people and the Luobei people can join forces to let Xijiang focus on the west, and then take the opportunity to commit crimes in the West, but his wish He thought that the strategic goal of the Luzon people had deviated and the Luobei people failed quickly. This is probably the main reason why he fell into trouble." The sixty-nine giant handshake (2)
