Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 26 North Wind (1)
The Third Division of the First Legion has been a purely Gaoyue heavy infantry division since its establishment. Although the first division commander Mu Lige is not from Gaoyue, his temper and character are deeply imprinted In the style of this army, steady, plain, persevering, disciplined and indomitable, this is the style of the third division. Shanyao followed Mulige step by step. Although Mulige has now been promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, Shanyao is determined to carry forward the style of the Third Division, especially this time the Southern Expedition The countries of the Peninsula Alliance, and the first cooperation with the former commander of the Fourth Army after he became the commander of the Fourth Army, Shanyao knew the dangers of this battle, and he had already made up his mind that the third division would fight to the last man , but also firmly drag the enemy in front, so that the main force of the Fourth Army can rush out of the dense forest area smoothly.
Looking at the majestic and steep mountains in front of him, Shanyao secretly sighed in his heart. The army of the Principality of Sulawesi is not enough to worry about. The 15,000 armed forces and the 2,000 mercenaries left behind are nothing in Shanyao's eyes. What, but the neighboring Principality of Medan not only has 25,000 National Defense Forces, but also 5,000 mercenaries who have not yet set off on the Eastern Continent, plus the 15,000 National Defense Forces and 5,000 mercenaries from the city-state of Lygon, if you can’t Completely holding back this group of troops, the Fourth Army is likely to face the enemy's strict interception after breaking through the dense forest area, and if the Fourth Army cannot quickly gain a foothold in the Principality of Sulawesi, then wait until several other city-states and city republics As well as the arrival of the army of the Principality of Bali, this war will be quite passive.
The Peninsula Alliance is different from the Nanyang Alliance. They have signed agreements of friendship and mutual assistance. An invasion of any one of them will automatically become an aggression against the entire alliance. With full force and economic support, they do not need to obtain authorization from the Alliance Parliament. Once a war breaks out, at least the Seven Eastern Alliance Congresses will gather troops to reinforce the Principality of Sulawesi in a short period of time, while Burma and Sulawesi Although the principality's roads are impassable, there are quite good road facilities among the countries within the alliance. Although it is only the main arterial route, it is enough to ensure the rapid movement of the army.
What is needed now is to make a time difference. Before the reinforcements from the three coastal city-states, the city republic, and the Principality of Bali arrive, the army of the three countries in the north must be held back, so that the fourth army that rushed out of the dense forest area can quickly The Principality of Sulawesi stands on its feet to ensure that the logistics materials can be delivered continuously. The first responsibility also falls on the third division of the first army standing in the front. Shan Yaoshen knows the responsibility on his shoulders.
The steep and rugged mountain roads are not a problem for the Gaoyue warriors. They are accustomed to living in mountainous areas and have a natural advantage in this Dahengduan mountainous area. With a sense of intimacy, the marching speed far exceeds that of other troops, which is what Shanyao is most proud of. But this does not mean that the long and distant mountain road can be shortened. From this mountain to the opposite ridge, at first glance, it seems to be about ten miles away, but if you really want to reach the other side, with the amazing speed of Gao Yue's soldiers, you still can't get down within half a day. , This is the characteristic of marching in the mountains.
While urging the soldiers to speed up, Shanyao silently thought about how to join the local Gaoyue militiamen to fight the first battle after leaving the mountain. The Gaoyue militia in the Principality of Sulawesi has already been contacted by people from the intelligence department in advance, but there are only a few tens of thousands of Gaoyue people there, and there are probably only three to five thousand people who can be used. At most, some cooperation and assistance As for the role, the real tough battle is to be fought, and you still have to rely on yourself. The peninsula alliance army has never fought against each other before, and no one knows what its combat effectiveness is. However, Shanyao believes that no matter how strong the opponent's combat effectiveness is, it is impossible to take advantage of his own division. How long can the third division last? This is the time to test myself. I only hope that the information I notified on the peak before departure can be implemented. There will be chaos in the Principality of Sulawesi, and my pressure will be much less.
Leaving the Grand Duke's mansion with a feeling of gloom, Xi Luo boarded the carriage under the **** of the guards, and silently leaned back on the seat with his eyes closed. As the military marshal of the Principality of Sulawesi, Ciro is not only the highest military officer of the Principality, but also the commander of the defense force, directly controlling the 15,000 defense forces, but as a restraint, the commander of the garrison of the royal city is held by the grand duke's nephew. . However, just now when he argued about Xiluo in front of the Grand Duke, he discovered that His Royal Highness did not take his concerns seriously, and instead questioned his request to mobilize 5,000 defense troops stationed in Kutterdan to the royal city of Yada. The most hateful thing It's that Dama, as the commander of the Wangcheng garrison army, who knows nothing about military affairs, but is better at instigating the flames than anyone else, who actually slandered himself for transferring the defense army to the north for a conspiracy, this damned pig! Xi Luo cursed angrily in his heart.
In fact, Xi Luo didn't have any definite basis in his mind, but his inner worries came from the request made by Lu Man, the newly appointed governor of the Tanghe people in the northern Burma region to open the southern Burma The road from Mughal City to Yada City is to strengthen the commercial and economic exchanges between the two places, and facilitate the agricultural, forestry and native products of Myanmar to more easily enter the countries of the Peninsula Alliance and ship out through the ports of the Peninsula Alliance on the coast of the Southeast Asia. Naturally, this request was unanimously rejected by the Principality. Li Wufeng, the son-in-law of the Tanghe Empire, was tossing around very hard in the western part of the Tanghe Empire. It collapsed, Tiannan changed hands in an instant, Burma land suddenly fell into Li Wufeng's hands, and the distance between the Peninsula Alliance and Li Wufeng's territory was shortened a lot, but the traffic in Burma was difficult, especially in Central Burma and South Burma. , so this has not attracted the attention of the countries of the Peninsula Alliance, including the Principality.
However, the following large-scale development wave and the construction of the north-south road in Burma have attracted Xi Luo's attention. He is satisfied only staying in southern Myanmar. He definitely hopes to see that the roads in southern Myanmar can be connected to the principality and the main highways of the countries of the Peninsula Alliance. Only in this way can the economic development of Myanmar be further developed through the window of the Peninsula Alliance. Sure enough, the newly appointed Governor of Main County sent people to request the construction of the road from southern Myanmar to Yada while building the Main County Highway. Naturally, this would not be agreed by the principality. The northern dense forest area has always been the principality of Sulawesi and Myanmar. Once the road is opened, there will be no more barriers between Burma and the Principality of Sulawesi, and they will directly face such a strong neighbor. No one wants to see this phenomenon the emergence of.
However, ever since he rejected the other party's proposal, Xi Luo has always had a shadow in his heart. He knows that Li Wufeng is not a good person, and he also sent someone to investigate Lu Man's situation. That guy is the confidant of Li Wufeng, the war madman. , was originally from the military, but only later entered the political field. Since he made a request to open up the channel between the two places, he must have been instructed by Li Wufeng. Wouldn't you have other ideas? Since then, Xiluo has consciously strengthened his understanding of the situation in Burma, but there is no communication between Burma and the Principality of Sulawesi, and he can only transfer to Tiannan through the Nanyang Alliance before entering Burma, and intelligence information is often delayed quite a bit. For a long time, the Burmese road project has attracted many laborers to participate, and the progress is very fast. Although there is no sign that it will be built south of Mughal, Xiluo has always had a bad feeling~IndoMTL.com~The latest information It shows that Li Wufeng's professional engineering unit has entered northern Myanmar. It is said that it is to help the construction of some hostile and complex sections of the Burma Road. Construction, Xiluo has never heard of such a precedent. Could it be that Li Wufeng wants to use engineers to forcibly open the dense forest area and build the road from Mughal to Yada? Xi Luo's heart is full of worries, Li Wufeng's domineering, he has already made a detailed understanding of Li Wufeng through the collected information during this period of time, this guy's brutal and domineering behavior and the way of acting regardless of public opinion made Xi Luo have a good impression of this person A clearer understanding, the Principality of Sulawesi is a neighbor of such a guy, so we have to be more careful.
The messy thoughts made Xiluo dizzy. The only hope now is to get information from Burma earlier. Once Li Wufeng has troops entering Burma, it means that Li Wufeng has a great possibility If this is the case, Xi Luo decided not only to persuade the Grand Duke to agree to send the 5,000 defense troops to the north, but also to quickly call them back after immediately notifying other countries and city-states to provide military assistance. For the mercenaries who are still fighting in the middle mainland, only the peninsula alliance will act together and cooperate with the signatories of the "Treaty of Urgen" to deal with the threat from the north.
Two shrill screams awakened Xi Luo in the carriage from his contemplation. Looking from the window, the rain of arrows accurately hit the guards guarding his carriage on both sides. He clearly saw his guard falling down in pain clutching his throat, blood spilled out from between his fingers, his body fell to the ground with a loud "bang", and a burst of dirt and dust splashed on the dry ground.
