Chapter 416: Beijing Strategy (12)

Once the general strategic policy has been decided, the next step is to work out the details of the tactics. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 First of all, it is natural to discuss and determine the details of the battle plan for attacking Beijing. Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun, Shang Jinfeng, and Chu Yaping were originally soldiers, and they had received a strict and comprehensive military education, and in the past six months or so, they had experienced several wars and accumulated considerable actual combat experience, and it was indeed not difficult to attack Beijing, so they quickly determined the operational plan for attacking Beijing.

In fact, people who have lived in Beijing for a period of time in the old time and space know that the pattern of Beijing is actually quite square, sitting in the south and back to the north, horizontal and vertical, it can be said that it is clearly organized, the general pattern is actually about the same, many streets and locations basically still retain the original name; Chu Yaping and others have been to Beijing, and Xu Jichao lives in Beijing, so he has a good idea of the pattern of Beijing and the palace.

At present, the People's League has a total of 3 regiments on the Tongzhou front, about 9,000 people. Although Beijing is not an impregnable city, attacking Beijing with 9,000 troops was an unthinkable thing in that era. Half a year ago, the strength of the Eight-Nation Coalition to attack Beijing was 16,000, and 40 years later, in the Second Opium War, the Anglo-French army that broke through Beijing also reached 20,000, which was much stronger than the strength of the People's Army. Of course, on both occasions they faced more defenders in Beijing, reaching about 100,000, while the People's Army only had to face about 13,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The establishment of the special forces is composed of squads, squadrons, and brigades, with 10 fighters in each squad, and 1 deputy squad leader, and divided into two groups, each group is composed of two fighters, a machine gunner, a bazooka player, and a sniper, and is equipped with a Type 95 squad machine gun, a 40mm rocket launcher, and a Type 88 sniper rifle, and the other two fighters are equipped with guns and grenade launchers, and each soldier is equipped with night vision equipment and communication equipment. In this way, even a small group has a strong firepower, and under normal circumstances, it can fight 10 times more enemies, and under certain conditions, it can even fight 20 times or even more enemies in dense forests, narrow alleys, or dangerous areas.

The three squadrons form a squadron with 1 principal and deputy squadron leader, and the three squadrons form a squadron with 1 captain and 3 deputy captains, totaling 100 people.

According to the airborne combat plan formulated by everyone, three straight 8F helicopters will be dispatched, each helicopter carrying one squadron, to carry out airborne landing in the Taihe Palace, the Huangji Palace, and the Cining Palace, and according to their assigned tasks, raid the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and if they complete their own combat missions, they will immediately support nearby friendly forces, and formulate three operational principles:

The first is to fight quickly, raid the headquarters of a certain coalition country with lightning speed, and then immediately evacuate, and then turn to capture the headquarters of the next coalition country, and if the opponent is prepared, if he cannot attack for a long time, immediately evacuate, join up with other troops, and never entangle with the enemy. Because although the weapons of the special forces are advanced and the firepower is powerful, the number of Bi Jing is too small, and every soldier is a valuable resource, which must not be consumed needlessly, so they can only rely on air raids to catch the opponent off guard and complete the task as quickly as possible.

2. Before the reinforcements arrived, they did not capture the prisoners, and they killed all the enemy troops. Although capturing alive the enemy's chief general or senior general can gain a great advantage for future negotiations, the number of special forces is not large, and if they want to capture prisoners, they will inevitably consume manpower, so they can only give up capturing alive at the beginning and kill all the enemy troops they encounter; only after the People's Army attacking outside the city has been killed and reinforced by the palace can they consider taking some prisoners.

3. Try to use weapons with high lethality, such as rocket artillery, grenades, grenades, etc., and strive to end the battle in a short time, without worrying about the destruction of the palace. It turned out that Chu Yaping proposed that fighting in the Forbidden City, is it not considered not to use explosive weapons, so as not to cause damage to the Forbidden City, after all, in the minds of every Chinese, the Forbidden City is definitely one of China's landmark buildings, an important historical heritage, naturally should try our best to protect and reduce damage. However, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others consider a much larger pattern, the protection of historical heritage, naturally should, but also to do what we can, talking about humanity and culture, can only be a matter of peacetime, and in the war years, the first priority is to ensure the victory of the battle, if because of scruples and damage caused by the cause of shrinking, then how to fight this battle, if the enemy planted bombs in the Forbidden City as a threat, then must not surrender?

Xu Jichao also raised his own concerns, although this truth is good, but it is easy for the traverser to leave a stain in history. However, this point has long been considered by Qin Zheng, and letting the Eight-Nation Alliance carry this black pot is actually not a pit for the Eight-Nation Alliance, because after breaking through Beijing, the Eight-Nation Alliance did cause considerable damage to the palace.

The battle outside the city was the responsibility of the 1st and 2nd regiments, and the attack began from the north and south ends of Beijing respectively, but the regimental headquarters of each regiment drew up the tactics of the regiment itself, and the headquarters did not make detailed arrangements, after all, the regimental level was already a combat-level unit, and it could fight on the battlefield alone, and as a regimental commander, it must also have the ability to fight independently.

However, after attacking the city of Beijing, both regiments advanced directly to the palace, on the one hand, to reinforce the special forces, and on the other hand, to control the palace, because the palace is the core of the city, so controlling the palace is equivalent to basically controlling the city of Beijing. Then consider gradually annihilating the other Eight-Nation Coalition forces in Beijing and completely control the city of Beijing.

Of course, the goal of the entire operation was to completely control Beijing, not to completely annihilate the Eight-Nation Allied Army, and as long as the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were driven out of Beijing City, because Beijing City was too big and the People's Army could not invest enough troops, it was impossible to control the entire Beijing City, and naturally it would not be able to completely annihilate the Eight-Nation Allied Army. Moreover, if the Eight-Nation Alliance really escaped from Beijing, there was no logistical assistance, language barriers, and obvious differences in image from the Chinese, so it was actually difficult to survive, so if the Eight-Nation Alliance really escaped from Beijing, it would be a good thing for the traversers.

The Fifth Regiment was used as a reserve, and a battalion was also drawn from the Fifth Regiment to garrison Tongzhou County and Tongzhou Railway Station respectively, although the traverser did not intend to occupy Tongzhou for a long time, but now Tongzhou is the hub from Beijing to Tianjin, so it cannot be abandoned.

At the same time, the people also discussed the control and management after the capture of Beijing, which is now divided into two areas, the inner city and the outer city, with 9 gates in the inner city and 7 gates in the outer city, and the two battalions of the five regiments each send a platoon of troops to garrison, and the remaining two platoons are used as mobile patrol forces. The palace was garrisoned by the troops who were the first to break through the city and reach the palace, while the other army was responsible for guarding the embassy area in Dongjiaomin Lane. Moreover, once the city of Beijing is successfully occupied, Tianjin will immediately send another regiment to Beijing to strengthen the troops stationed in the Beijing area.

Of course, this was only an expedient opportunity, and in the end, it was the Tai of Beijing, and the scope of the involvement was too wide, and it was impossible to rely on the military alone, and the Tianjin side not only had to send people to Beijing to preside over the overall situation of administrative affairs, but also had to send some civil affairs management personnel to Beijing to work.

Although the traverser intends to transfer the administrative center to Qingdao, and has already driven a passenger ro-ro ship and more than 1,000 traversers, due to the breakdown of negotiations in Shanghai, the traverser has launched the Beijing raider, so now the administrative center of the traversal group cannot leave Tianjin for the time being. And now there are more than 2,200 non-military traversers who remain in Tianjin. Moreover, the control of the traverser in Tianjin has basically stabilized, and it is completely possible to send about 500 people to work in Beijing, which is of course a force that cannot be underestimated.

In fact, Qin Zheng is the most suitable candidate, he is one of the five executive committee members of the crossing group, and he is from the military, and he has considerable ability in organization and administration, so if Qin Zheng goes to Beijing to preside over administrative affairs, he can assist in the relationship between the military and the government at the same time.

However, Qin Zheng also has an important task, that is, once the traverser captures Beijing and defeats the Russian army, it is certain to restart negotiations with various countries, and this work can only be taken care of by Qin Zheng, once Qin Zheng leaves Beijing, who will be responsible for Beijing's affairs, so it is best to arrange a deputy for Qin Zheng, so that Qin Zheng can leave Beijing with confidence.

In the end, Qin Zheng nominated Li Songchen, the chief executive of Tianjin New Area, as his deputy. It turned out that after Li Songchen became the chief executive of Tianjin New Area, he began to prepare for the work of the Tianjin local government, and now he has basically formed an administrative team. It's just that the executive committee and the executive yuan of the group have not moved to Qingdao for a long time, so the administrative team of the Tianjin local government has not been able to work, but has nothing to do.

Qin Zheng's thoughts are delicate, on the one hand, he has long noticed the embarrassing situation of the administrative team of the Tianjin local government, and on the other hand, he also intends to cultivate Li Songchen's ability. However, in a short period of time, the Executive Committee and the Executive Yuan will not be relocated to Qingdao, so it is estimated that the administrative team of the Tianjin local government will not be able to carry out its work after it has been established for a period of time, but this is also a matter of no choice, and the plan is not as fast as the change.

However, it is not a way to let the administrative team of the Tianjin local government be idle like this, and it is just about to start the Beijing strategy, after the capture of Beijing, a large number of management personnel are needed, so Qin Zheng decided to let Li Songchen serve as his deputy, and bring the entire Tianjin local government administrative team to Beijing to work, first, to let them have something to do, and second, to let them accumulate enough experience. After he leaves Beijing, Li Songchen can also manage Beijing's administrative affairs.

Naturally, others will not have objections to Qin Zheng's proposal, so Beijing's strategy has been determined.
