Chapter 469: Feeling Pressure
This send-off banquet was mainly performed by Lian Xusheng and Li Yunxiang.
Bai Zhizhan is also very clear about the sighs of the two.
According to the information revealed by Liu Changxun, Li Yunxiang will soon be sent to Fanyanyang, responsible for the march into Posha Bay and the combat operation of attacking the Kibu fortress.
Although Xue Yuanzheng did not issue a death order, only asked to contain the Bran fleet and open up the route into Posha Bay within the year, according to the current situation, the number one problem in front of Li Yunxiang was not to march into Posha Bay, but how to coordinate the various armies in the jurisdiction.
If anything, the pattern on the Fanyan Ocean is the most complicated.
On the naval side alone, there are the Imperial Fleet, the Palman Fleet, and the Combined Fleet, as well as shore-based air forces deployed in Lion Springs and Sri Lanka.
If there is a need to launch an offensive, such as the capture of Socotra, the Marines will also be involved.
In addition, the Kingdom of Daiman also sent fleets and logistics support forces to participate in the war, and the Kingdom of Sri Lanka was more active and expressed its willingness to act as a spearhead in the attack on the Van Lo region.
In terms of the land forces, there is not much to say about the ground forces, but only the aviation forces, there are strategic aviation and tactical aviation.
Interestingly, the Army also has a transport fleet of more than 100 requisitioned freighters for logistics.
The reason for breaking away from the navy and forming an independent transport fleet is that the navy does not understand ground warfare, so it may not be able to provide key supplies to the front-line troops in a timely manner.
During the battle against Lion Spring City, a similar problem arose. The Navy's logistical support personnel got the ammunition caliber wrong and sent the Navy's 150-mm artillery shells to the army's heavy artillery units. Although the army has 150 mm heavy artillery, it is not common with the navy.
It is in itself extremely difficult to organize so many units that have little to do with them and to carry out their operations effectively.
If you want to say anything, I'm afraid only Li Yunxiang is suitable.
The reason is that at the end of last year, he was promoted to army general and officially promoted to commander-in-chief of the strategic aviation forces, and he is still a well-known war hero.
Whether it is in the empire or in the allies, Li Yunxiang is a well-known big man.
In Liu Changxun's words, in Fan Yanyang, the main thing is coordination, especially the need to have a good relationship with the Manman army.
As for the march into Posha Bay and the attack on the Kibu fortress, it is not so important, or there is no matter of Li Yunxiang, at least there is no need for him to bother.
Obviously, when making this arrangement, Xue Yuanzheng and Peng Huaisheng definitely did not ask Li Yunxiang's opinion.
After drinking high, Li Yunxiang was also outspoken.
In his words, this drudgery should have been sent to Bai Zhizhan.
As for the reason, Bai Zhizhan is also very clear in his heart.
Strictly speaking, the battle on Fan Yanyang's side is not over yet.
The "Ark Royal" has been operating in Mua Hai, and according to the latest information, the Royal Navy will strengthen its presence in Luxinhai in the near future.
As long as it does not return home, the aircraft carrier is a huge threat.
In fact, this is the main reason why the Empire of Manman asked for the formation of a combined fleet.
As expected, after the "Ark Royal" left Muahai and returned to Luxinhai, the Arm. would propose to attack the Kibu Fortress.
In this regard, the imperial authorities could not object, that is, the attack on the Kibu fortress and the march on the Shifan Canal had to be carried out simultaneously.
It can be seen from this that if Bai Zhizhan advocates fighting another war in Fanyanyang, these problems will not exist.
Relatively speaking, Li Yunxiang is relatively lucky, or he is facing a small problem.
The one who is really in trouble is Lian Xusheng.
It was only at this time that Bai Zhizhan learned that in order to command the combat operation of attacking Shiquan City, Lian Xusheng made a military order to Peng Huaisheng and Situ Jingde, promising to complete the combat mission of capturing Yebao within this year. Although Peng Huaisheng and Situ Jingde did not say anything to death, they also asked him to advance to Yebao within the year, to be precise, before the arrival of winter, to complete the combat operations in the hinterland of the huge land.
If you want to say it, the military order that Lian Xu promoted is nothing.
Even if he didn't go to the southwest, he still had to complete these tasks this year, and the combat operation against Shiquan City was much smoother than expected.
The real problem is the cascade effect.
As mentioned before, because the emperor ** team quickly won Lion Spring City, and also captured Sri Lanka, locking the victory in Fanyan Ocean, so for the alliance group, to achieve victory, even if it persists, it must go all out on the land battlefield.
From the moment the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet was routed, the Locksa Federation became the second leader of the Alliance.
Obviously, offensive operations in the north-western direction, there will definitely be big trouble.
According to Lian Xusheng, the Sixth Bureau has already issued a warning.
Since December last year, the Nuland Federation has stepped up its assistance to the Luosha Federation, and even more so after the "Prime Minister" left the North Sunset Ocean.
In January alone, 2 fleets arrived at the port of the Locksa Federation on the Ice Ocean.
The key, the fleet that arrived later, was originally planned to go to the Kingdom of Bran.
It can be seen that the Nuland Federation has reduced the importance of the Kingdom of Bran.
More than 100 freighters of these two fleets have sent a large number of vital strategic materials to the Luosha Federation, including at least 50,000 tons of aluminum ingots!
In addition, there are a large number of finished products, such as high-performance aero engines, vital ammunition, and so on.
With these materials, the Luosha Federation was able to produce thousands more advanced aircraft in a year.
Of course, the military and civilians of Luo Sha must also be greatly encouraged.
In addition, the Lockham Federation has taken advantage of the upcoming winter to complete a full-scale war mobilization, with more than 300 new combat units alone.
There is enough reason to believe that only in the Yeburg area there were at least 200 divisions.
Although the Luosha Army is a small formation, and most of the newly built troops are infantry divisions, it is close to 3 million troops, which is not a joke.
What's more, in the northwest, the logistics of the Imperial Army were also extremely fragile.
Not to mention whether or not the battle line can be held, just organizing and launching a large-scale strategic offensive will require a lot of time to complete the preliminary preparations.
This meant that the strength and frequency of the Imperial Army's offensive on the Northwest Theater were limited until the transportation capacity was fully increased.
In fact, this is an objective problem that no one can solve.
In Lian Xusheng's words, even if the combat effectiveness of Luo Sha's army is reduced to zero, as long as the troops are constantly sent to the front line, they can drag across the logistics of the imperial army.
By now, the Imperial Army had captured about 1.5 million prisoners of war in the northwest.
Just settling these prisoners of war was a big headache for the military.
If in the next offensive, in the face of more prisoners of war, how can you advance?
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, less than one-third of the materials transported from the Guanzhong region of the empire could be sent to the front line, and the rest were consumed during transportation.
According to Lian Xusheng's meaning, even if everything goes well, there is no way to hit Yebao within the year.
Strictly speaking, it's until the end of October, just before the onset of winter.
Obviously, Lian Xusheng has a lot of pressure.
To say, it also affected Li Yunxiang.
Bai Zhizhan also sighed, after all, the current situation of the two of them is related to him.
In addition to punishing himself with three cups, the only thing Bai Zhizhan can do is to fight well in Guiayang! 8)
