Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 46 Trial Higher (2)
Cui Wenxiu's idea is not complicated, but it is quite realistic. The entire Yanyun Four Mansions, Cangzhou and Beiping, are now within the attack range of the rangers under their control. Cangzhou's city walls are high and thick, and the surrounding area is flat. If you want to storm Cangzhou, you must pay a considerable price. Cui Wenxiu has never been in the habit of attacking fortifications, not because he is afraid of attacking cities and villages, but because he thinks that it is not a last resort. This kind of victory at the expense of soldiers' lives is really not worthwhile, and it is not easy to train a qualified veteran. Since Cangzhou is the main source of soldiers for the Northern Army, it means that Situ Tai will have to fight himself in Cangzhou once or twice, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain to the soldiers, even if it is a formality, the minimum scene is still necessary Putting it out, of course, this doesn't mean that Situ Tai will be so stupid as to really fight himself recklessly. This was proved by the placement of the two divisions under the city of Cangzhou. They neither directly entered the city nor left the prefecture. This covert approach was probably Situ Tai's self-consolation.
Cui Wenxiu is still waiting, still waiting for the First Division of the First Imperial Army that has been vacillating in the imperial capital. He has already set his sights on this prey. It is possible to return to Yanyun from the north of the imperial capital, and it is very likely that he will join the defense of Cangzhou. This is an opportunity, a very good opportunity, so Cui Wenxiu has always revealed to the outside world that the Third Army and the Rangers have not yet done a good job. The purpose of the advanced preparations is to wait for this prey.
As long as he can hold on to this piece of fat on the way back to the north of the First Division of the First Army, and he is not afraid that the enemy in Cangzhou will not reinforce him, and Cui Wenxiu expects reinforcements, then he will have a greater chance. Now that everything is ready, it is only due to Dongfeng that it depends on whether Tie Longping's division will return to Cangzhou from the north of the imperial capital as he expected. Cui Wenxiu would stare and inquire about news from the imperial capital almost every day. On the surface, however, they had to scatter six ranger regiments in the clouds to the line of Qinghe, pretending to attack the hinterland of Yanshan Beiping and disrupt Situ Tai's inner hinterland.
Cui Wenxiu believes that as long as he can completely annihilate the enemies of Cangzhou, including the First Division of the First Army Corps. The entire battle of Yanyun County could almost be declared over. With the loss of Situ Tai's only hope, the First Division of the Tielongping First Army, Cui Wenxiu couldn't think of any other way out for Situ Tai other than raising his hand and surrendering. Even if Situ Tai didn't want to surrender. But the reality will also force his subordinates to make a final choice, and it would be pure idiocy to resist in that case.
While Cui Wenxiu was anxiously waiting for the First Division of the First Legion in the imperial capital to make a decision to return north, his rival Cheng Dayou also did not relax, although he did not realize that he was in the East China Sea. The beautiful battle had already aroused Cui Wenxiu's ambition, but he hoped that in this Yanyun battle, the prestige of himself and the Eighth Army could be raised to a higher level.
The large map is already covered with signs of various numbers. The geographical topographic map of Yanyun County has indicated in detail that the garrison of each division is already the distribution of Situ Tai's army, while Laizhou in the north is It is a blank space, except that there is a symbolic security division in the city of Laizhou. Cheng Dayou does not believe that this security division will be so stupid that Situ Tai has obviously given up on them and will desperately resist to the end. It seems that this is just a decoration on the map.
Cheng Dayou's right hand has been gently rubbing under the chin. It seems that the beard stubble under the chin can bring a very comfortable stimulation to the skin of the palm, but the eyes are always walking on the map, as if carefully considering how to go next. The intelligence showed a very clear situation. Laizhou had obviously been abandoned by Situ Tai. It seemed that the lack of troops forced Situ Tai to make a painful decision. He knew that abandoning Laizhou might bring many negative effects, but he had to Don't do this, or the stretched force will make him lose sight of one thing and lose another. He may not even be able to defend a single place. His stance is more like defending Beiping, Cangzhou, and Yanshan near Dorton. The question is, can he do it? And what should I do?
Laizhou is no longer within the scope of Cheng Dayou's consideration. It is a matter for government departments to consider taking over administrative affairs. Cheng Dayou is not very happy about this silent harvest, although he said no war And subduing the soldiers is the best policy. But gaining land without fighting does not mean that the enemy has surrendered. The enemy is just shrinking strategically. This will increase the difficulty of capturing the other three prefectures, but it will only increase the difficulty and will not affect the progress of the war. cause too much impact. Cheng Dayou didn't understand what Situ Tai wanted to do in this situation, maybe he wanted to use the First World War to prove that the prestige of the Northern Army was not a rumor, Cheng Dayou could only think so, but it was definitely not wise lift.
However, Situ Tai gave up Laizhou, which also strengthened the defense of the other three prefectures in disguise. Cangzhou is not the scope of Cheng Dayou's consideration. Should he directly attack Situ Tai's lair at the straight end of Beiping, or capture Yanshan and cut off Situ Tai first? Cheng Dayou had a hard time thinking about the way to flee north to Dorton or go out to sea from Yanshan Mountain. The two cities are places with strong walls and thick walls. If you want to capture them, you will have to pay a considerable price, and there seems to be no other better way in front of you.
"Hechun, do you think we should take Beiping first or Yanshan first?" After looking at the map for a long time, Cheng Dayou finally asked about the chief of staff who had been busy sorting out and analyzing intelligence data, this chief of staff He has always been one of Cheng Dayou's most loyal assistants. From the Taiping Army to the Imperial Army, and then to the Western Frontier Army, perhaps leading troops to fight decisively is not his forte, but planning, analysis, judgment and reasoning are his forte, and he himself can Very clearly aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, this is what Cheng Dayou values him the most.
Cheng Dayou's admiration for Li Wufeng comes from many aspects, the most important of which is that Li Wufeng was able to let go and boldly agree to his proposal for the senior officer of the Eighth Army, from the chief of staff to the director of logistics and then As far as the division heads of the divisions, except for a very few candidates who had to be replaced because the security department failed the political review, almost all of them were approved by Li Wufeng. Although Cheng Dayou also knew that his suggestion might bring many negative effects, especially the dissatisfaction of other legions in Xijiang who were absolutely loyal to Li Wufeng, but Cheng Dayou still did this, he wanted to see Li Wufeng's Is the breadth of mind as big as it is said in the legend? But the facts have proved that Li Wufeng's mind is indeed capable of becoming his own master. Although Cheng Dayou later proposed to change candidates again to show his attitude, but was rejected by Li Wufeng.
"General, from a political point of view, the significance of the Beiping Mansion is far greater than that of Yanshan Mountain, but from a practical point of view, this subordinate thinks that Yanshan Mountain may be more important to us and His Royal Highness Qin. As long as We took Yanshan, which is equivalent to blocking Situtai's escape route to the north. The subordinates thought that it was worth going to Yanshan first. Besides, after capturing Yanshan, Beiping has actually become a turtle in the urn. If there If the Third Army's progress in Cangzhou is going well, the subordinates think that Beiping will not go down. Besides, didn't the general always want to teach the Doton people a lesson? I think His Highness King Qin also has this intention. The last time we gave His Highness King Qin a suggestion , In the reply letter, other His Royal Highness King Qin gave replies one by one, but there was no mention of the Okhotsk area. The subordinates see that there is a deep meaning in it. If we take advantage of Yanshan and attack Okhot Cik, even if you can't occupy this area, you must at least control one or two strategic points, so that our strategic situation in the northern border area will be much better. It's better to look down on the Doton's territory than the Doton to spy on our interior , General, don’t you think so?”
Chang Hechun's words made Cheng Dayou nod repeatedly~IndoMTL.com~As expected of being my No. 1 staff member, not only can I accurately analyze the changes in the situation, but I can even figure out the thoughts of His Royal Highness King Qin. This lord is not a good lord. The Dorton people helped Situtai intervene in the imperial civil war. He will not be indifferent. If he is not sure, he wants to take the opportunity to retaliate. The last time he proposed to explain the invasion of the Okhotsk region after solving Yanyun Although the suggestion did not receive a positive response from the superior, but in the private reply letter of Bo Jinchen, the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department, it was faintly pointed out that His Highness King Qin was indeed inclined to support this opinion, but since the civil war in the empire has not yet ended, His Highness King Qin also agreed. It is not good to openly provoke a foreign war again, so as not to attract criticism from the Government Affairs Department. After all, the Government Affairs Department and many officials and gentry strongly advocate ending the civil war as soon as possible and shifting the main energy to the establishment of a new dynasty. They are opposed to expanding the war in the near future. In particular, it set off a new foreign war.
Okhotsk is an area at the junction of Doton and Yanshan Prefecture. The terrain is undulating, and the residents are quite complex. Although Liberians are the majority, there are also a considerable number of Tang people, and Linhai has a certain number of people. The ethnic minorities are a multi-ethnic mixed area of Doton people. It is on the verge of the Great Eastern Ocean and faces the Crescent Peninsula across the sea. There are several harbors there with wide shores and deep waters. They have not paid much attention to the development of the navy. In addition, the Cook Islands and the Crescent Peninsula are now occupied by the Japanese, and they have lost confidence in the development of maritime armed forces. Therefore, these coastal passes have not been well used. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Chapter 2, Swallowing Thousands of Miles, Chapter 7, Dingding, Section 46, Test Comparison (2)
