Although the young officers of the Yugoslav Navy are in very good spirits, this still cannot hide the fact that they lack tactical literacy.

Even though they have received half a year of military education and have accumulated experience in battles, they are still much worse than those professional officers in other feudal towns who have fought all their lives.

The troops of these feudal towns actually have a very long history, and the troops of the feudal towns in Nanhai Prefecture are basically evolved from the troops of Duke Meng, and the subsequent feudal towns have also established regular military academies to train their own professional officers, and the training of officers is much more professional than Lin Ziran.

They are all selected at various levels, and then go through more than three years of military school education, then practice, and then be assigned to serve, in terms of ordinary military literacy, it is not something that these quick officers under Lin Ziran can compare.

Because they are young, their comprehensive tactical literacy is slightly poor, and their experience is insufficient, the young officers of the South China Navy are rather rigid in fighting wars, and most of them read from the script and lack the ability to respond to emergencies.

For example, offensive tactics, in fact, many people only have a few moves, either artillery bombing or roundabout attack!

As for you asking them to make a surprise attack, an ambush and other messy tactics, they really can't, they don't have that ability!.

But although the tactical literacy is a little worse, they are all like crazy people, and when they fight, they all rush forward with their soldiers brandishing sabers, and shouting that they will fight for the reunification of the South China Sea, and Daheng will fight for the unification.

These people, for the sake of the unification of Daheng, can see death as home!

Xu Zhongshu had served as the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Suiying Academy before, so he naturally knew what the officers trained by the previous Suiying Academy and the current Luo'an Military Academy were.

Therefore, when Xu Zhongshu led them to fight, he never messed up, and the tactics were too complicated, either artillery bombing or detours.

However, in the past, it was a small-scale mobile operation, and there were not too many unexpected situations.

And now it's a large-scale strategic detour, and there are many surprises.

For example, if Xu Zhongshu wants to conceal the whereabouts of his troops, it is best to make a detour and break through the enemy's weak defense line in the north before the enemy reacts.

But Xu Teng was not stupid, when he learned that many of the scouts sent to the north failed to come back, he snorted coldly: "I found you!" ”

Although so far, there is still no reconnaissance report that has found the exact location of the disappeared part of the Southern Navy, but Xu Teng is not stupid, just relying on a lot of news, he has more than 90% certainty to determine that the part of the main force of the Southern Navy, which disappeared in Nanyungang before and did not go to the frontal front, is in the northeast direction.

Regardless of whether the enemy army wants to make a detour or what they want to do, just send someone to strengthen the interception.

To this end, Xu Teng directly reinforced more than 30,000 troops to the northern defense line in one go, making the strength of the northern defense line directly increase from about 20,000 to about 50,000.

That's not all, Xu Teng also prepared a strategic reserve of more than 30,000 people, once the northern line is unstable, it can be reinforced immediately, and the distance is not far, and it can go up in one day.

There are 50,000 troops stationed on the northern front, and more than 30,000 troops can be reinforced at any time.

Next, we have to pay attention to the frontal battlefield.

In the past two days, Xu Teng has learned through reconnaissance that on the frontal front, the Southern Navy has invested at least 50,000 troops, and more importantly, the other side has carried a large number of heavy artillery.

Xu Teng had also learned the power of these heavy artillery before, although his own side was an attacking force at that time, and it was relatively scattered, and there were only two common-sense attacks before and after, and the opponent's heavy artillery troops actually played an effective role.

But the power is still not ordinary.

Once the opponent's heavy artillery units are allowed to reach the front line smoothly, they will know with their toes that they will definitely pose a major threat to their own defensive lines.

For this reason, he had already ordered the cavalry units to advance to attack the artillery transport units of the enemy.

However, Lin Ziran was very cautious, the march was slow, and they all walked along the Nanluo River, even if the road was not good, or even if there was no road, they all went all the way through.

This also allowed the follow-up marching troops, especially the artillery units, to be supported by naval artillery units.

The cavalry under Xu Teng's command tried to break through the blockade of the enemy cavalry and tried to surprise the enemy's artillery unit, but before they could get close, they were blown up by the enemy's naval artillery unit.

In the end, he simply gave up the use of cavalry troops to attack.

The advantage of the cavalry unit lies in its mobility, especially in the short-distance high mobility, as for the firepower, it is actually very average, and they are powerless in the face of the artillery transport units heavily guarded by the South China Navy.

Not to mention the cavalry units of the Southern Navy, there are much more than the Hetai Army.

Even if Xu Zhongshu has taken away three cavalry divisions, Lin Ziran still has a cavalry division and three divisional cavalry regiments on hand, and there is no problem at all in shouldering the perimeter defense, and if he is lucky, he can catch the enemy's cavalry and blow it up.

Not cavalry charges, nor infantry dismounted and ambushed with breech-loading rifles, etc., but bombed with artillery.

Whoever let the cavalry units of the Southern Navy also belong to the artillery units.

The artillery unit attached to the cavalry unit is actually the 75-millimeter howitzer used by the infantry unit, and although the firing range is a little closer, it is not as effective as the field guns of the same caliber of more than 5,000 meters, but it also has an effective firing range of 4,000 meters.

The most important thing is that this thing is much lighter, and the total weight of the battle is only more than 500 kilograms, which is completely at the level of light artillery for the feudal troops in Daheng.

In the past, the Luo An Army and the Luo Navy even dared to equip the cavalry troops with smoothbore guns of several hundred kilograms as cavalry guns, anyway, the horses were enough, and the terrain was flat.

Even within the South China Navy, there is such an idea, and in the newly formed cavalry division, in fact, there are also 75-mm field guns.

It's just that the production capacity of the 75-mm field gun is not small, but so many troops are waiting to be used, and the production capacity will be insufficient for a while, but the technology of the 75-mm howitzer is simpler, in addition to the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, the Luo'an Arsenal can also provide a lot of production capacity, so there is surplus production capacity to equip the cavalry troops.

The cavalry units of the Southern Navy ambushed the cavalry of the Hetai Army several times through the 75-mm howitzers carried with the army and could quickly maneuver.

The cavalry of the Hetai Army did not have any temper at all.

Because after the cavalry of the Southern Navy discovered the main cavalry force of the Hetai Army from afar, they did not come up to play cavalry hedging with them at all, and did not even play rifle fire, but directly pulled out the cavalry artillery carried by the army and opened fire several kilometers away.

By the time the cavalry of the Hetai Army reacted and turned over to kill them, they had already retreated directly with their artillery, and sometimes they would set up an ambush and kill and injure a large number of enemy troops with dense rifle fire.

This fight back and forth, the cavalry commanders of the Hetai Army said that they would not play.

Without the attack of the enemy cavalry, the main force led by Lin Ziran personally also arrived at the front line of Huaijiang one after another, there was no unnecessary temptation or the like, and there was no need, the enemy army was in the opposite line of defense.

Directly erect artillery, especially a large number of heavy artillery, and then start shelling.

When Lin Ziran personally led the main force to attack the enemy's frontal defense line, Xu Zhongshu also returned to his position and prepared to assault the enemy's defense line.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to the position, I found that the enemy troops on the opposite side were not more than 20,000 as expected, but more than 50,000.

What to do?

What else can I do, fight!

20,000 is a fight, and 50,000 is also a fight!
