Chapter 604: Zombie Siege: Automatic Rate Formation
The so-called illness is like a mountain, and when the army is defeated in the early stage of the war, it must be like a flood scene, and the mountains and rivers are trampled like a broken river.
In May, the fourth month when the Great Demon King was appointed to power, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty has not reversed.
The latest newspaper on Hedong Road: Following the fall of the first line of Fengzhou, Fuzhou and Yanmen, on May 8, Xinzhou, Xianzhou, Lanzhou, and Jinzhou fell to the lightning attack of the cavalry of the Liao State Army at the same time.
The only thing that left the Song people with a glimmer of hope was that these quasi-second-tier areas seemed to be less resistant than they had been at the beginning. It is rumored that although there is no unified command system on Hedong Road, they want to protect their families in the important town of Taiyuan Province while maintaining a roundabout way of survival.
As a result, a total of six independent regiments belonging to the Qilan Army and the Ninghua Army were actually "the same as the heroes' views", and they were concentrated in the north of the Taiyuan Fu Fortress, at Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass, and started the first large-scale resistance battle since the Liao army invaded the Hedong region.
Since the invasion of the Liao army, there has been no one's land, and this will inevitably cause the arrogance of many Liao army combat units. Unfortunately, when they were at Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass, they encountered the Song army's "rebound after tightening".
In the battle of the two passes, the Song army had the advantage in numbers, reaching a situation of almost three to one. This data is the red line of this period, and the Great Demon King issued a document in the cardinal's mansion that unless it is decided to fight three to one, it cannot fight a hard battle outside the second-line fortress.
Helplessly, the Liao army is brave and cavalry, and the current equipment is more advantageous than the Song army. Therefore, the battle of the two levels lasted for two days, and it was very hard. In desperation, the Song army did not dare to pretend to be forced, and chose to retreat when there were no major casualties.
Regarding the retreat time after the battle, the Great Demon King also has a strict bottom line: in principle, it cannot exceed one day, even if it is in the radiation range of the Song army cavalry in the fortress defense circle, there is dependence, and the longest can not exceed two days, it is not wrong to win the battle, and it must be able to recognize the situation and correct the error.
Otherwise, although the Liao State is dividing its troops to advance, but the people are cavalry and the Song army is not, once the Song army is assembled as the main force that is not conducive to maneuvering and hiding, and it is eaten by the enemy on the position, the reinforcement of the Liao cavalry will be faster than imagined after the signal is released. If in the plains, the main force of the Song army was bitten by the cavalry of the Liao State of Cheng, it would of course be a dead end, and there would be the tragedy that happened before in "the disappearance of one system".
Now the general principle is that the Great Demon King is allowed to be defeated and wounded. However, before the Song army in the theater matured in the flames of war, there was a strict situation of "cutting off the arm".
Because the injury will recover, and the scar will be more mature after healing, but if the arm is cut off, it will not grow back, which is the theoretical basis of the Great Demon King.
The detours, battles, marches, and hiding on the three roads in the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty for the purpose of survival are the training troops selected by nature. As long as their fighting spirit is not scattered, they will slowly mature if they continue.
In order to retain the fighting spirit of the front-line troops, it is necessary to be grounded and sympathetic to the soldiers, especially not to cause large-scale damage to the front-line troops. In fact, even if the Hedong and Hebei Three Roads Forbidden Army was not brought out by the Great Demon King, they were very grateful to the Great Demon King in this regard.
They never thought that the Great Demon King would have such a brain hole and let the first-line army aim for survival. As long as you don't pat your head and give orders such as "you swear to defend this place for me", this is very helpful in preserving the morale of the front, which is a sign of trust.
Therefore, although the quality and equipment of the front-line forbidden troops are very outdated and poor, their morale is basically there, and they are gradually forming the so-called "automatic rate of war" in the theory of the Great Wild Strategy.
Without any command or advice, the Song army, which had always been cowardly, spontaneously started the first sniper battle in Hedong in the Liangguan area, which was their "automatic rate" performance. They already have a preliminary sense of mission and responsibility, and they are grateful for the trust of the Great Demon King.
They also want to defend the Taiyuan Fort, because their home is in the Taiyuan Fort. At the same time, in the early stage of the evacuation, the old, weak, sick and disabled who were evacuated by the forbidden army were grateful to the imperial court, and naturally they were grateful to these forbidden troops. This gave the forbidden army, which had always been looked down upon, a sense of glory.
These are the reasons why they spontaneously started a counterattack in the two levels.
Of course, objectively speaking, even if such a two-level resistance war is not optimistic, the war must be supported by strength. With nearly three to one troops, the six independent regiments of the Song army did not succeed in winning the battle of Liangguan, so they chose to retreat due to battle damage.
The battle damage is also a red line set by the Great Demon King: before the battle loss is achieved, the commander must start thinking about the retreat plan. Otherwise, after a battle, everyone finds that there are two less than two out of ten familiar comrades-in-arms in peacetime, then when the troops are not yet mature, there is no need to fight in the future, and it is called the shadow area.
But as long as each loss is less than the threshold, on the contrary, it can pull up the ambition and arrogance and play it in the next battle.
The Great Demon King requires: The wound must not be too deep every time, this is the situation that the commanders of the independent regiments must recognize and adhere to.
To sum up, the two-level blocking battle was not a victory but it was not a defeat. The casualties were greater than those of the Liao army, and the Song army chose to retreat before the main force of the Liao army reinforced the two passes.
Although the Liao army was cavalry, it was harassed by the guerrilla army and the common people who dared to fight further north, and the local main force of the Liao army failed to judge the situation in a short time, resulting in the failure to reinforce the battle of Liangguan in time. And because Shiling and other places were not far from the fortress of Taiyuan Mansion, the first line of the Liao army formed a lone army after careful pursuit, and was blocked by the cavalry of the Song army in Taiyuan Mansion. In addition, the Song army was not defeated and retreated in an orderly manner, so the Liao army chose not to pursue.
This is the result of the battle of the two passes in Hedong!
At the same time as the battle of the two passes, it also means that the Taiyuan Mansion Fortress is about to be in an emergency, which makes the situation look like a pill!
But in fact, the Great Demon King thought that the automatic rate of war of the Hedong Army was gradually forming, so he was not in a hurry at all to sit firmly in the center. The Hedong Army is indeed relatively useful, and Han Qi has contributed to Sheji in this regard.
The battle of the two levels is very beautiful in the eyes of the Great Demon King, and the six independent regiments involved, especially their commanders, have officially entered the "list of key officers" of the Great Demon King, and have issued a document to commend them, and the six commanders have been promoted to one level.
These were the first commanders to be honored since the beginning of the war for their country. The Great Demon King asked the whole army to learn from them, carry forward their steady style, and continue to protect the Great Song Dynasty. The purpose of the battle is still to survive and contain, waiting for the node when the imperial court decides to counterattack, and waiting for the final reinforcements of the mechanized royal division.
The Great Demon King sent a message to the whole army: Believe me this time, protect yourself, I will definitely lead the Song army out of the quagmire to welcome the rainbow. On behalf of the imperial court, I promise to take care of the soldiers who unfortunately died, and their names will be recorded in the Monument of Glory forever!
All this is a trick of politicians, but there is no other way to force the big demon king in this regard, in fact, after the example of the six hero groups, even the Song army, which is known as cowardly and unusable, is already in danger in the middle of the war, so basically although the quality is poor, the fighting spirit and belief are basically preserved.
This kind of unparalleled control of faith, so in the pill situation of the overall defeat of the Bulgarian army earlier, without victory as a booster, the deeds of the six heroic regiments were used to turn back the hearts of the front-line soldiers, and this kind of political propaganda and field control ability is really called a miracle, so that all the ministers in the first three rows were stunned and did not understand.
In terms of deeds, only the Great Demon King knows that they think too much, and they also mythologize my Great Demon King. The so-called heavy sword seamless, in fact, there is no secret to the world, the benevolent are invincible, care and respect them, is the only condition for them to have faith and military heart, which is very simple and there is never a shortcut.
Military training does not happen overnight, but as long as their faith and fighting spirit are maintained and they are not seriously damaged, then under the law of natural selection, with the increase of field experience, the maturity of mentality, and the gradual investment of equipment, they will slowly become a mature army.
Just like the human body's immunity, as long as it is not completely wiped out, the disease will be cured sooner or later, and after recovery, it must be elite, and it is basically immune to attacks similar to the virus army.
The appeal is the Hedong situation. As for the Hebei front, the front was wider, the situation was more complicated, the guerrilla struggle was more fierce, and the casualties were greater than those in Hedong.
Hebei's quasi-second-tier area has also basically fallen, and the fall of Cangzhou Raoyang and other places is inevitable, the latest news: the military town of Hejian has also been abandoned and fully retreated.
As an important military town, Hejian Mansion can be temporarily defended by fighting, but the Great Demon King does not suggest it, because a large number of resources on the western flank have been withdrawn to the front line of Zhending Mansion in advance, so Hejian Mansion cannot form a satellite response with the flank, so they are basically alone when they are not cavalry.
So basically, the current situation in Hebei is under the acquiescence of the Great Demon King, and he is still fighting and retreating, and he is still mainly evacuating, and the purpose of the battle is to delay, not to top.
These are probably the situation in mid-May, seeing that more and more northern lands have fallen, but only the Great Demon King knows best: the casualties of the people in the occupied areas are not large, and the degree of resistance exceeds that of any time when the land of the Song Kingdom was occupied by barbarians.
This is because despite the rush of time at that time, the Great Demon King also did his best to win some buffer, and evacuated the old, weak, sick and disabled in the north to the Daimyo Prefecture area to be placed in Fubi for resettlement and protective production.
After the evacuation of the first line, the guerrilla forces in the first-line areas were harassed and buffered, slowing down the progress of the Liao army, and giving the evacuation of the quasi-second-line areas to gain depth.
Up to now, the quasi-second-tier areas have basically fallen, but the main work of evacuation has been barely completed. It's not perfect, but after all, it's a war between superpowers, and at the court level, the main body has already been obtained, so it's okay.
Otherwise, the pill breath of war since ancient times is actually mainly from the defenseless old, weak, sick and disabled being trampled, when this group of casualties reaches a certain threshold, there will be no civil warriors, because they are all trapped by small factors and enter the link of throwing rats.
This is the reason for the frequent street fighting in the occupied areas of the north. Most of them don't have to worry about it now, but there are a lot of people who choose to be pigeons. But at the same time, there are many options that run away if they can't do it, and hide to fight the black hammer. There was also a consensus that the people who chose to be pigeons also provided information to the guerrillas.
Lao Xiao, the commander of the Liao army, was not a stupid person, in this case, he did not dare to indulge the Liao army to kill civilians indiscriminately, because without a large number of small families as bargaining chips, they were all powder kegs, and the more they killed, the more daring fighters and guerrillas would be produced.
There will definitely be casualties, this is war, and Lao Xiao cannot control the grassroots of the Liao army like artificial intelligence. Therefore, the damage area is not large, but the number of civilians who died in the war since the invasion of the Song Kingdom is actually not small, which has led to street fighting everywhere and resistance everywhere......
