Chapter 746: The Boa Dilemma

If the Southwest Fleet stays at the Bowa military base, it will face the attack of the enemy's main fleet, and if it is not careful, it will be completely blocked in the port of Bova, and if it does not want to be blocked in the port to break through, it may also suffer more trouble.

But if you go, if this Boa military base does not have the assistance of the navy, I am afraid that it will be in some trouble, and it will not be so easy to come back in the future.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ren Zhongping still asked the fleet to be ready to evacuate at any time, and at the same time asked the commander of the First Mobile Fleet on the Lane military base by telegram, Admiral Weng Zhixi, asking for instructions.

The commander of the 1st Mobile Fleet, Admiral Weng Zhexi, was the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the Navy before assuming the post of provisional fleet.

In the military command system of the Daheng Empire, the highest military command power belongs to the Joint Staff, and the Joint Staff has a chief of general staff and a chief of operational staff at the same time, and the chief of staff of the army and navy is the highest three military commanders in the imperial military system.

As for the Navy specifically, under the Chief of Operations Staff of the Joint Staff and Chief of Staff of the Navy, there is the post of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Staff, that is, the position held by Secretary of the Navy Weng Zhexi.

It can be said that in the naval order system, Wen Weng Zhexi is the second person, second only to the current chief of staff of the Navy, Xie Chunrong, and this is why after the establishment of the First Mobile Fleet, this person will be the commander of the First Mobile Fleet, not that the commander of the First Fleet will be directly appointed as the commander of the mobile fleet.

Because the Minister of Military Affairs of the Navy and the commanders of the First, Second, and Third Fleets, although they all belong to the Navy bosses, they are all the positions of the Navy's military lords, but these positions belong to the administrative positions of the Navy, and they are in charge of the development and construction of the Navy in their respective regions, and in the case of training and wartime operations, they are the power of the Naval Staff.

Emperor Lin Ziran didn't plan to change anything temporarily, since it was not a temporary mobile fleet operation set up by the First Fleet, it was naturally more suitable to transfer heavyweight admirals from the General Staff.

The establishment of the Daheng Imperial Navy is also relatively special, the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet all belong to the administrative system, and their commanders are all subjective naval development and construction affairs.

As for the operational establishment, it is the fleet of various types of ships, such as the battleship fleet, the cruiser fleet, the destroyer fleet, and the torpedo boat group, and these ship fleets are also frequently transferred, which does not mean that they belong to the three major fleets.

In wartime, each fleet was drawn from the three major fleets to form a large-scale warship formation, such as the First Mobile Fleet.

As for the Southwest Fleet and the Southern Fleet in the overseas dispatch fleet, they are actually combat formations, and their warships are all dispatched by the three major fleets.

This system is designed to allow for more flexible deployment of warships and to concentrate large-scale fleet operations in wartime.

As the former deputy chief of staff of the Navy and now the commander of the First Mobile Fleet, Weng Zhexi is also the commander of the Southern Garrison under Lin Ziran's command, and in addition to the First Mobile Fleet, the Southwest Fleet and the Southern Fleet, as well as the two Marine Corps in the above two bases, are also under his command.

Even the Army's Southwest Mixed Brigade and the Lane Garrison Brigade were under his command.

Although the admiral commanded the army, many army generals were very unhappy, but after all, he was the commander of the southern garrison ordered by the emperor of the Daheng Empire, Lin Ziran.

He was the supreme commander in charge of military conflicts with the Gafian Empire, and the army and navy in the region were under his command.

So even the generals of the army were reluctant, but they pinched their noses and endured it.

In fact, the army generals have actually tried to compete for the command of this military battle, but unfortunately, in this military conflict, it is destined to be dominated by the navy, and the army is a soy sauce player, so it cannot be contested.

After receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Ren Zhongping from the Bowa Military Base, Admiral Weng Zhexi immediately replied to Ren Zhongping, saying that this victory was due to naval battles, and that Bova's gains and losses had nothing to do with the overall situation.

Besides, this Bova still has an army garrison, unless the Gaphia declare war on the kingdom of Liej and then send an army to attack, otherwise don't expect to be able to take this Bova.

But then again, if the Gaphians had sent a large army directly, even with the help of the navy, this Boa would not have been able to hold it.

If they trap four armored cruisers here, it would be better to let them withdraw.

Only the armored cruisers that run up are valuable, and the armored cruisers trapped in the harbor are not as effective as the shallow water heavy gunboats.

After receiving the call, Ren Zhongping led the Southwest Fleet to retreat, but only took away the ocean-going capital ships, and those torpedo boats were naturally left, and before retreating, he also told the army here: buddy go first, you can defend it, don't force it if you can't hold it, retreat directly.

Leng Xiaogang Shaoqing of the Southwest Mixed Brigade of the Great Heng Imperial Army glanced at this Ren Zhongping with a look of disdain, and then said: "Our army is different from your navy!" ”

To make Ren Zhongping embarrassed and paralyzed, dealing with these armies is trouble, he just gave them a friendly advice, but he didn't expect to be despised.

Well, if you want to defend it, you can defend it!

After Lieutenant General Ren Zhongping retreated with the capital ships in the Southwest Fleet, Leng Xiaogang also returned to his brigade headquarters to gather the officers under his command, and by the way, he also called several major officers of the Marine Corps who were also stationed here to discuss.

Leng Xiaogang Shaoqing ordered the troops to continue to work hard, and not to let the local people of the Lieji people be idle, let them continue to work harder, and continue to improve the defense facilities of the Bowa Fortress.

In particular, the construction of defense facilities on the three hills is a top priority.

After the Daheng people came to the local area, they actually got a lot of help from the locals, although the Liej people actually didn't have a good impression of the Daheng people, but their purpose was very clear, that is, to raze the people, and introduce the Daheng people to live in Bowa, just to let the Daheng people compete with the Gafians.

Now that the Great Heng and the Gafiya are fighting, the Lieji people are also more worried that the Great Heng people have been defeated, and once the Great Heng people are defeated, they actually have no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, the local Daheng troops were helped by the local Lieji people.

It was thanks to the assistance of a large number of locals, and even the troops of the Kingdom of Liej, that the construction of the fortress of Boa was ensured.

Although the fortress was built for a short time, it used the original defense facilities of the Lieji people, and also collected all the cement, steel and other materials that could be collected from the hands of the Lieji people, plus the Daheng Empire organized a large number of ships to transport a large number of cement, steel and other materials, and a large number of fortress artillery, machine guns, barbed wire and other ordnance.

As a result, the fortifications of the entire Boa military base are completely up to the standard of the top fortresses of our time, and the three main hills are even more heavily guarded.

These three hills are the only high ground near the entire military base, and the Daheng Army has deployed a large number of heavy artillery on them, and the heavy artillery deployed in this place can block the coastal sea, shell the enemy warships that dare to approach, and can also block the land area, and carry out artillery bombardment of the enemy's ground troops approaching from the land, and the strategic position is extremely important.

In order to protect these three strategic hills, the Daheng Army almost built the three hills into fortresses, and built all the artillery, machine guns and barbed wire that could be deployed, and also dug a series of perfect defense facilities such as trenches, communication trenches, and tunnels.

The three forts are also connected by open tunnels to ensure mutual support.

Leng Xiaogang Shaoqing, based on the experience of the domestic unification war that year, and also referred to the experience in the Orr War, deployed the defense facilities in the place, and the core of the entire fortress is to protect and give full play to the firepower of artillery and heavy machine guns.

As for infantry firepower, it was only supplemented.

The Southwest Fleet of the Daheng Empire retreated, and the Bowa garrison of the Daheng Army continued to build fortifications and garrisons, and the people of other countries also knew that the main fleet of the Gafia Empire was dispatched at this time, and then arrived at the port of the Republic of Kean.

Coupled with the large number of mines laid by the Daheng people themselves, the sea area near the port of Beauva is full of mines, and many mines are still drifting mines.

At this time, the Gafians also casually found an excuse, so they sent an army of 50,000 to cross the border of the Liedi Kingdom and go to the Bowa military base, and also emphasized something, only against the Daheng people, this time it was just passing by, not to declare war on the Lijy Kingdom.

The strength of the Liej Kingdom was not good, and when the situation was still unclear, it did not dare to declare war, so he buried his head as an ostrich, and even in order to avoid accidents, he also took the initiative to withdraw his troops from the area east of Bova and redeploy in the area east of Bova, and for the military conflict between Hengga, the Liej Kingdom has long announced it: armed neutrality.

However, if the Daheng Empire gains an advantage in the future, they will most likely completely join the Daheng Empire's side.

By now, the Henga conflict has officially evolved into an army and navy conflict, and it will not be long before a land battle breaks out on the Beauva side.

In this case, the ships of the third country are also fully prepared, always keeping an eye on the main fleets of the Daheng Empire or the Gafia Empire, waiting for the time for the main fleets of the two sides to dispatch and fight.

But this is more than a month!

The First Mobile Fleet of the Great Heng Empire stayed in the Ryan Military Base for more than a month, even if the Bowa Military Base was completely blocked by the Gafians during this period, and was surrounded by the land forces of the Gafians!

This is not that the Daheng Imperial Navy does not care about the life and death of the army, but the army's Leng Xiaogang has a big tone, before the navy called again to ask, asking how long the Bowa fortress can last, and the navy can decide whether to attack in advance according to the situation of ground operations.

As a result, Leng Xiaogang called back and said that he could hold the Bowa Fortress for more than a year, and God knows what this person's confidence came from.

So the First Mobile Fleet prepared for battle at its own pace.

After they had finished maintaining and replenishing all the warships, and the officers and men had rested for more than a month, they had become lively again, and the entire fleet was in the best condition, and only then did they quietly set sail in the night on May 6, the 12th year of the reign of Qiansheng!
