Chapter 415: Beijing Strategy (11)

Qin Zheng said: "That's enough for us, 30,000 Russian troops are all regular troops, and we have only formed 6 regiments now, and the total strength is about 16,000, and the combat effectiveness of the army is estimated to be only 6 or 7,000, I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xia Bohai said: "If it's not easy to fight, we have to fight, it's not that we want to fight, it's the Russian army that took the initiative to come to the door in the morning, we can't give up Beijing to Russia, so that the prestige we have established after we go ashore will be swept away." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, this battle is still really unbeatable, so what is the way to play, is there a plan?" ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Don't worry, things have to come step by step, and the battles must be fought one by one, before facing the Russian army, we must first occupy the city of Beijing." After we occupy Beijing, we will seize Shanhaiguan and use the terrain of Shanhaiguan to block the Russian army. ”

When Qin Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this Li Zicheng's tactic against the Qing army? Could it be that we set up a position in a piece of stone to block the Russian army?"

Xia Bohai laughed and said: "We are not Li Zicheng, and the Russian army is not the Qing army that entered the customs, and besides, I want to see if anyone wants to be Wu Sangui in this era." ”

Chu Yaping said: "Of course we are not Li Zicheng, and we will never be Li Zicheng." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Let's not talk about how to deal with the Russian army, how can we capture the city of Beijing? Although there are not many Eight-Nation Coalition troops in Beijing, it is not easy to deal with, and the walls of Beijing are high and thick, but it is not easy to attack, if the casualties are too large, how can we meet the Russian army in the next step?"

Chu Yaping said: "Political commissar, from the documents seized from our occupation of the Tongzhou Railway Station, as well as the information learned by interrogating the prisoners, in fact, the Eight-Nation Coalition troops stationed in Beijing now are only in vain, and their ammunition is extremely lacking, which is not terrible, so it will not take much effort for us to attack Beijing." ”

Xia Bohai said: "Logically speaking, this is also reasonable, after we captured Tianjin, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply line of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it is still easy to handle the food or something, but the supply of weapons and ammunition is gone, so there is no way to replenish it, and there is also a defense of Tianjin in the middle, and this battle should also consume a considerable part, so now the ammunition of the Eight-Nation Alliance is lacking, I think it is reliable." ”

Qin Zheng thought for a while, nodded as well, and said, "I also agree with this judgment, it should be possible to conclude that this information is true." However, even if the Eight-Nation Coalition Army lacks bullets, there are always some, and the walls of Beijing are tall and strong, and heavy artillery is needed to blast them open, and we are now short of heavy artillery, so it may not be easy to capture Beijing. ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Although the walls of Beijing are tall and strong, they can't stop us, don't forget that we have absolute air superiority in this era, and special forces have just been established." Therefore, the operational plan I formulated for attacking Beijing was to parachute in Beijing by helicopter by special forces at night to directly eliminate the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and at the same time arrange for troops outside the city to directly attack the city to attract the attention of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, so that the center could be attacked from inside and outside, and Beijing could be captured in one fell swoop. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Where is the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance?" Have you figured it out now, otherwise Beijing is so big, and it will be too late to go to the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance after entering the city. ”

Chu Yaping said: "Political commissar, don't worry, we have interrogated the captured Japanese soldiers, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army has set up its headquarters in the Forbidden City, and later we sent drones to Beijing City to reconnoitre, and found that there are indeed a large number of troops stationed in the Forbidden City, and there are exactly seven places where the troops are concentrated, and it can also be determined that the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army are indeed located in the Forbidden City." Therefore, we can directly carry out airborne landing in the Forbidden City and directly terminate the command of the Eight-Nation Alliance. ”

Qin Zheng nodded, he knew that when the coalition forces had just broken through Beijing, they each set up their own headquarters in Beijing, but with the plundering of the Eight-Nation Coalition in the northern city, they set up their own occupation areas in the palace, because the treasures in the palace are the most, first enclose the land, and then slowly move outward, at first, the countries will store the looted gold and silver property in the legations of various countries, but how big the legation can be, and there are a large number of staff and family members, so it was quickly filled, and then the countries simply set up their headquarters in the palace, so that it was saved to move things outwardOn the contrary, you can also put the gold and silver looted from other places in the palace, which is large enough, has enough rooms, and is protected by walls, which is a good place to set up headquarters and store looted things. Of course, this is also convenient for the traverser, if the headquarters of each country are one in the east and one in the west, it will cause great trouble to the traverser.

From this point of view, this plan is indeed very feasible, using the People's Army to attack the city wall to attract the attention of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then using the airborne landing to catch the Eight-Nation Alliance by surprise and eliminate the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so that the People's Army can indeed win the victory of the People's Army in one fell swoop and achieve the goal of quickly occupying Beijing. Therefore, Qin Zheng said: "I also agree with this plan, but what to do after the capture of Beijing, how we will deal with the attack of the Russian army, I don't know if there is a preliminary plan now." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "I have a preliminary battle plan. Did you just think that after we captured Beijing, we immediately sent troops to occupy Shanhaiguan, arranged defensive positions, and blocked the attack of the Russian army, and at the same time sent another army to land behind the Russian army on the Changbai Mountain ship, launch an attack behind the Russian army, and defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop?"

Qin Zheng thought for a while and said: "This plan is good, but I am worried that our army's execution ability is not enough, although the front and rear flanking attacks can catch the Russian army by surprise, and it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, but it also causes our troops to be scattered, and it is easy to be broken by the Russian army one by one." ”

Xiao Jianjun nodded and said, "Lao Qin's worries are not unreasonable, but don't forget, we still have a trump card that is useless, and now is the time to use this trump card." ”

Qin Zheng said: "You mean the armored forces?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "Yes, although we don't have many tanks, but in this era, this is definitely an artifact-level weapon, in the First World War in the old time and space, when the tanks were first put into battle, only 18 were actually put into battle, but in one day they broke through the German army's 5-kilometer positional defense line, and before that, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers could only break through 1 or 2 kilometers of defense line. We now have 28 battle tanks at our disposal, and their performance is far better than that of the tanks of the First World War, and there are also 6 auxiliary tanks, 12 warrior vehicles, and an armored force of this size, as long as it is used properly, is enough to defeat an army of 100,000. At this time, it is time to use this strategic force. ”

At this time, Xia Bohai said: "Not only the armored forces, we also have a large number of missiles, as well as helicopters, as long as they are usable weapons, they can be used, we must do whatever it takes to defeat the Russian army, this is not only to defend the security of Beijing, but also a battle for us to threaten all countries, this battle will be our battle in the Bohai Sea on land." ”

After Xia Bohai finished speaking, the obvious shock of the others also somewhat understood what Xia Bohai meant.

Although after the landing of the Traverser, it has achieved very brilliant results on both land and sea, but in comparison, the victory of the Traverser's navy is more convincing, because the German Far East Fleet, which was annihilated by the Traverser Navy, is a powerful fleet with 4 large warships of 10,000 tons and 4 ironclad ships of 8,000 tons. In this day and age, this is definitely a maritime force to be reckoned with. The navy of the traverser defeated this fleet without any suspense, and finally annihilated this fleet, and also made all countries understand that the navy of the traverser is a powerful maritime force, so Russia transferred the fleet from Vladivostok, the Japanese combined fleet, and later Britain also transferred two battleships to Shanghai, but they did not dare to enter the Bohai Sea, which is the deterrent effect of the Bohai Sea naval battle.

Although the army of the traverser also captured Tianjin, Weihaiwei, and Qingdao, and won the victory in the defense of Tianjin, on the whole, the opponents encountered were not strong, and the victories achieved were naturally difficult to convince the public. Moreover, the traverser formed a people's army in Tianjin and recruited a large number of natives to join the army, which made countries even more suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the traverser army, so during the negotiations in Shanghai, the countries were not afraid of the war threat hints issued by the traverser, and Huo Bilan even believed that the traverser was unable to launch a large-scale military operation on land.

Now the traverser must also achieve a Bohai Sea naval battle on land, only in this way can it be enough to deter countries with force, so that countries can no longer ignore the threat of war issued by the traverser, which is not only to end China's war as soon as possible and restore order in China, but also to buy enough time for the traverser to develop peacefully.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the People's Army is indeed not strong, which is very obvious in the battle of Tongzhou Railway Station, but the traverser still has a few powerful weapons in his hands that are enough to change the war, so when the Russian army went south to attack Beijing, the Russian army opened the knife and won a land victory in the Bohai Sea naval battle, which was completely possible. However, this will require the use of the weapon at the bottom of the traverser's box.

So Qin Zheng nodded and said: "I agree with Lao Xia's opinion, this battle for us is a battle of Guan Jianxing, if it is fought well, it can open up a good situation for us and win time for development, if we don't fight well, we will be very difficult, so as long as we can use the weapons, we can use them, no need to hide them, everything is just to defeat the Russian army and achieve victory." ”
