Chapter 633: Zombie Siege: An all-out counterattack from the Empire
At this point, the time for the decisive battle in Berlin was officially ripe.
Taking advantage of the complex situation in which everywhere was in a state of division, each of them was in an encirclement and counter-encirclement, on February 7, the Northeast Command ordered all armies to participate in the battle!
The purpose of asking Song Shixing's corps to fight a hard battle again was to "disguise itself as a large cluster" and block the three corps of the Liao army in the Hedong region from aiding the Hebei Theater in Fangshan, Dongcaogu and other positions. The tactical purpose was to allow the 17th, 23rd, and 24th Corps of the Liao Army to reinforce the Beiping area even if it was exhausted within the given time.
At the same time, the Sun Yushan Division of the Fourth Group Army, which had to be in Ganquan and Fenglongshan, also disguised itself as the main force cluster of the Song Army, and resisted the reinforcement of the main theater by the three corps deployed by the Liao Army in Shouyang and other areas. The tactical requirement is to complete the mission at any cost, so as to cooperate with the command to "encircle and annihilate Du Ruitao's corps in a relatively simple environment to gain time".
The Seventh Army of the Song Army quickly advanced north to Jixian (Tianjin) and cooperated with the Marines to feint on the logistics line of Nanjing Road of the Liao State, so as to attract the Xi Liubu Corps and the Bohai Corps deployed in Cangzhou to the north and weaken their reinforcement capabilities in the main theater.
In terms of tactics, the whole Berlin believed that because the Bohai Corps and the Xi Sixth Division had also been affected by the large number of propaganda offens earlier, they were not clan troops, and after seeing the strategic initiative change hands and seeing that the Song army planned to go north in advance, these two corps might be afraid, because those were their own territories that had fallen, so there was a high probability that they would be messy, so that a corps of the Song Army's Seventh Army led them around with hundreds of thousands of troops.
At this point, the deployment of the third phase of the Northeast General Battle has basically entered a white-hot node, and the rest do not need to be deployed, the old rules, in their respective encirclement and anti-encirclement circles, they will fight when they see people, muddy the waters, prevent the large-scale assembly of the Liao army, and facilitate the main force of the Song army to eat Du Ruitao's corps.
By 13 February, the Song army gathered nine group armies and dispatched troops from Zhendingfu, Raoyang, Gaoyang, Tangxian and other areas in the ice and snow, and concentrated on breaking through and advancing to the first generation area of Hejian Province in the north.
The reason why it is called a breakthrough is because the battlefield is complex, the Liao army has the advantage in numbers, and almost every corps is in its own encirclement.
In addition, the 25,000 marines of the corps officially decided to land at Laizhou Port in Liao, aiming directly at Dadingfu, Zhongjing, an important logistics town in Liao. This is a newly reorganized group army temporarily under the establishment of the navy, and its commander is none other than Yang Xiaoshuang, the commander of the dragoons who is known for his bravery in Guangxi.
Since the victory in the Pacific naval battle, most of the Liao shipbuilding ports, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Navy fully controlled the field, in order to cooperate with the decisive battle plan of the Continental Army, the naval command at that time also conducted many analyses and carefully selected the landing site of the navy. With the support of the Grand Canal and the support of inland river civilian ships, sea delivery on the scale of a group army is not a problem at all.
However, there have been many analyses within the Navy Command on the choice of landing sites, and there are too many landing sites to choose from, such as Suzhou, Chenzhou, Jinzhou, Nanjing Road, and Tianjin, which is the closest to the army battlefield, these can all be landing sites.
When the exchange of information is not very smooth, it is also difficult to judge where the focus of the Liao State is. Therefore, if the wrong choice is made, not only will it not be able to cooperate with the army to form a restraint, but it may also adopt a trap and destroy the newly formed Marine Army.
In the end, the marines all controlled Yang Xiaoshuang and cooperated with Admiral Chen Ergou to land in Laizhou.
In fact, with the naked eye, the area heavily defended by the Liao State is Laizhou Port. But the good thing is that it is precisely because it is heavily defended that it is the most unlikely to be trapped in Laizhou.
Then, with the fighting will and style of the dragoon commander Yang Xiaoshuang, theoretically, as long as the land offensive in Laizhou is defeated in one go, it can continue to advance and defeat Dadingfu, an important logistics town of Liao, in one fell swoop!
Under such a simple thinking decision, the Royal Navy warships escorted the Bohai Sea, the inland river transport ships were fully dispatched, and the navy began to march towards Laizhou Port, which was heavily defended by the Liao State.
The pomp and circumstance of the landing, which was a spectacular battle that had never been seen in the history of the existing earth, with a large area of troop transports and civilian ships following behind, six heavy battleships pressing inshore, and the rest of the frigates cooperating. The heavy artillery of the battleships and the heavy artillery of the Liaoguo roadbed bombarded each other, and on the other side, the dense boats were like dragon boat races, and the Marine Corps Corps continued to brave artillery fire to land.
The sailors of the civilian ships who participated in the transportation of troops almost peed their pants, but they also felt that the landing campaign in Laizhou was the pinnacle of the combination of political command and violent aesthetics, and there was no one.
This will be more representative than the Army Conference Battle, and it will also be the core theme of the story of the tea doctors in the whole world in the future.
Even if the heavy battleships are awesome, they can't withstand the land-based artillery of Laizhou, which is the key defense of the Liao State. However, during this period, there was a big gap between the fighting wills of the two armies, and the artillery positions of the Liao State began to retreat as soon as they were in chaos, but the battleships of the Great Song Navy were still suppressed with artillery fire in the billowing smoke after dozens of fires, covering the landing operations of the marines in succession.
Yang Xiaoshuang was the only one who fought such a beach-grabbing landing campaign, and when his Marine Group Army suffered considerable casualties, he was stunned to land like a virus invasion and constantly uproot the "bunkers" in depth.
The Laizhou landing battle was launched at dawn on the 13th, and the Liaoguo Laizhou army, which could not withstand it, was defeated, and the landing on the beach at Laizhou Port was officially ended at noon on the 14th......
The news is too chaotic, because it is a multi-line linkage, so that the passive Liao army departments cannot judge: where is the main battlefield everywhere now, and which number does the Song army want to eat?
This is really impossible to judge, at the same time everywhere fell into a scuffle, the Song Seventh Army quickly went north to the Tianjin area, which was explained by the Xi Sixth Division Corps and the Bohai Corps as "the main force, they want to encircle Wei to save Zhao, cooperate with the Song Royal Navy to attack Yanyun", shouting for reinforcements.
In addition, Xiao Hui received a call for reinforcements from the irrelevant Fangshan position, and they also confirmed that it was "the main force of the Song army advancing to Hedong".
Then, the Fenglongshan Theater also said that "the main force of the Song Army is on our side, and we should quickly support the Fenglongshan Theater."
Cunning rabbit three kilns!
In fact, it is impossible for the Song army to have three main forces, let alone achieve strategic goals in the three regions at the same time, so only one is true. But where is it, you can't just roll the dice, right?
At this moment, Zhuo Luolan couldn't decide.
The fierce offensives launched by the Song army in three unrelated battlefields can all be explained as effective strategic purposes, just look at what the Song army command wants to achieve? In Zhuo Luolan's view, it was okay for the "main force" of the Song army to go north to Yanyun to surround Wei to rescue Zhao and cooperate with the Song Royal Navy to land. Or the Song army released smoke in Cangzhou and cooperated with the main force to advance into the Hedong theater, and by the way, it was also possible to deter the Western Xia border.
Or, if they concentrate their main forces and attack a wide area such as Beiping Hejian Fu, where the Liao army is most densely deployed, threatening the command center of the Liao army, causing the dragons to have no leader and affect the morale of the army, it is completely possible.
"Newspaper—"
The communications officer of the Liao army entered the tent and reported: "Xiangye, there is shouting support everywhere, and there is a war everywhere." In particular, the Laizhou Port, which I focused on arranged, was basically lost, and the Yang Xiaoshuang Marine Corps, known as the Dragoons, has begun to go deep in an all-round way, pointing directly at Dadingfu, an important logistics town in our country, has the headquarters made corresponding arrangements? ”
"Has the Song Air Force been dispatched?" This is Lao Xiao's question.
"The dispatch was dispatched to drop incendiary bombs over the Fenglongshan position, the Fangshan position, and the Cangzhou position on the eastern front, and the casualties were not very large, but it made it more difficult for our army's war horses to maneuver, and at the same time, our army's already weak military losses were also large." The petty officer said.
Lao Xiao felt that the place where the black technology air force supported was more likely to be the main battle area of the Song army.
Zhuo Luolan felt the pill after seeing Lao Xiao's mood change, and immediately suggested: "Xiao Xiang, I still think that don't command, let them fight by themselves, otherwise the wrong decision is likely to cause danger and chaos in my central region." In particular, the 'Dadingfu emergency concept' can not be considered, with the scale of the Song State Marine Corps, it is obviously a strategy to attract troops, and it is impossible for them to cause fatal damage in the Yanyun area. ”
After hesitating for a long time, Lao Xiao thought that the Song army's general attack on the dense central area of the Liao army might be the smallest, so he issued an order: three of the Imperial Tent Corps were to reinforce Yanyun, Fenglongshan, and Fangshan from Hejian Mansion......
It lasted until February 20, and due to the wrong deployment, Xiao Hui and Zhuo Luolan finally saw that after the Song Nine Group Army broke through and closed, their real intention was to besiege Du Ruitao's corps in the vast area of Beiping.
After the main force of the Song army broke through from the complex battlefield, the Song army with large casualties in the Fangshan position and the Fenglongshan position had already withdrawn. However, those armies that attracted a total of more than 100,000 troops from the Xi Liubu Corps and the Bohai Navy Regiment had officially joined the Song Marine Corps, because the dragoons attacked too fiercely, and Yang Xiaoshuang's corps had already conquered Dadingfu before the division, and finally relied on Jiancheng and dragged more than 100,000 Liao troops in Dadingfu with two corps, and could not reinforce the main theater.
Because he was "circumflexed" by the nose, there were no troops to reinforce the central theater, which caused Du Ruitao's corps to collapse under heavy casualties.
By the 23rd, Du Ruitao, the privy deputy envoy of the southern province of Liao and the commander-in-chief of the Han soldiers of the eight Khitan divisions, was defeated and captured, and half of the more than 200,000 troops under his command were annihilated, some were captured, and the rest scattered and fled.
At this point, it was announced: The establishment of the Yanjing Military Division of the Liao State was removed.
Large areas such as Beiping, Baozhou, and Wen'an were reoccupied by the Song army. In addition, a large number of frigates of the Song Royal Navy sailed into the inland river from the port of Tianjin, and cooperated with the army to block the retreat route of the Liao army with its mobile artillery fire.
As for March 10, the Liao army collapsed on a large scale.
The lords from all departments supported the army, and after seeing the fall of the "Great Liao Expeditionary Force Commandery" in Hejian Province, they flew separately when the catastrophe came, and they broke through the siege and fled for their lives. However, there was no organization and no discipline, and in the complex encirclement and counter-encirclement battlefields, there were Song troops everywhere, as well as militia warriors. So everywhere there is pursuit, everywhere there is encirclement and suppression.
In addition, the invincible warships of the Song Navy basically blocked the Jiehe, and by March 27, the third phase of the Northeast Battle was closed, and the Song Army Command announced: The Northeast Battle was victorious, and all the lost territory was recovered!
The Navy High Command announced that the 25th Army of the Army and the "Navy Dragoon" had held and occupied Dadingfu, an important town in Liao......
