What the Navy Command sent was a detailed battle plan, and the person who drew up the plan was Lian Xusheng.

Because there is too much content, it is divided into several shots.

After reading the first telegram, Bai Zhizhan's mood relaxed, and at the same time he was very emotional.

This plan, in fact, was sent to the Army Headquarters by Lian Xusheng from the front-line command in the early hours of this morning, to be precise last night local time.

There is only one core content: according to the current situation, temporarily abandon the plan to march into Yebao and concentrate all forces to advance to the caves.

In addition, we will try to attack the cave before winter arrives.

Here, Lian Xusheng played a clever trick, only guaranteed to attack the cave, but did not guarantee to capture the cave.

Don't underestimate the difference between the words.

Although it is not a big city, as the largest and only oil producing area in the Luosha Federation, it must be heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to capture.

Of course, just go into the cave.

Almost all of the oil in the Luosha Federation is produced in the caves, and it is precisely with this oil field that the Luosha Federation can create a large-scale mechanized army, and dare to compete with the two super powers of the huge continent and the western continent at the same time, the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire.

Without the caves, the tanks of the Luo Sha army would have to lie down.

The key is that the cave is located on the west side of the broad sea, in the eastern part of the Caucasus Mountains, and to the west across the shackled land bridge to reach the Mohai Sea.

Strictly speaking, the cave is actually located in a mountain plain in the eastern part of the Caucasus Mountains, and all three directions are high mountains, except for the wide sea in the east.

The only surface access is along the wide sea to the north.

The oil produced by the caves was transported by pipeline and train to the hinterland of the Raksha Federation, such as Astrakhan and Volgograd.

As long as the Imperial army bypassed the wide sea and attacked the shackled land bridge, it would be able to cut off the railroad and oil pipelines from the Bakdong to the hinterland of the Luosha Federation.

Here's the key.

To the west from Semyo Zoornoye, it is almost a flat river. After reaching the northern part of the open sea, it can also improve the efficiency of logistics support by water transportation.

In this direction, the Luo Sha army is in no danger to defend.

In addition, fighting in the plains can maximize the combat effectiveness of the armored forces!

Don't forget, what Lian Xusheng is best at is directing armored troops to carry out rapid assaults.

On the side of the Ice Storm Peninsula, there are great limitations, and it doesn't prove anything, and the outside world once suspected that Lian Xusheng's ability was blown out, and there was a lot of moisture. In particular, after the Empire entered the war, the Empire Blitzed the Locke Republic and defeated the enemy who had been fighting with it for four years during the last war with lightning speed, creating a military miracle that surprised the whole world.

It wasn't until Lian Xusheng returned to the battlefield in the vast hinterland of the land and planned and commanded the combat operation of the assault on Karaganda that his ability was recognized.

The following battles proved that Lian Xusheng's ability to command the rapid assault of armored troops was by no means below those of those generals.

On the contrary, if you march to Yebao, you have to enter the Western Siberian Plateau, and there are many natural hazards along the way, as well as many populous cities.

In any case, Fort Leaf is a strategic fortress that the Locksha Federation has painstakingly operated for hundreds of years.

Even though the distance to Yebao to the north is much shorter, it is much more difficult to combat when considering the difficulties in logistical support, especially the inability of armored troops to make a rapid assault.

At least from Lian Xusheng's point of view, you have to try to avoid plateaus and mountains with complex terrain.

Of course, it's not that simple to march into the caves.

The number one problem is actually to deal with a counterattack from the direction of Yebao.

Don't forget, the Luosha Federation has always regarded Fort Leaf as the main support point of the eastern defense line, and has deployed heavy troops here and hoarded a large amount of war materials.

If the imperial army did not go north and continued to advance westward, Luo Sha's army stationed in Yebao would inevitably launch a counterattack at the first opportunity.

So, how to deal with the counterattack of Luo Sha's army?

According to Lian Xusheng's report, at least 200,000 ground troops would be needed to march into the caves. Even if the weight of the infantry is increased in defensive operations, without affecting the offensive, logistics support can support up to 100,000 troops in defensive operations in Semyozolnoye.

Obviously, 100,000 troops is certainly not enough.

Not to mention that Lian Xusheng has to command the offensive operation, even if he stays in the rear, he will definitely not be able to rely on 100,000 troops to withstand at least 2 million Luo Sha's army in the direction of Yebao.

It is precisely because of this that in the battle plan, Lian Xusheng emphasized a very key factor.

Time!

The launch of the offensive was postponed until the end of August, and the previous month or so was used to stock up on ammunition and other combat materials on the front line as much as possible.

In addition, the pace of the advance of the armored forces was accelerated, ensuring that the advance to the vicinity of the Cave was carried out by the end of November.

Only this arrangement could ensure that within three months of the attack, about 200,000 troops could be mobilized to form a defensive line north of Shemio Zolnoye, using the supplies accumulated in advance, and resist the counterattack of the army of Luo Sha, and strive to hold out until winter.

As long as winter comes, defense is not a problem.

Of course, it is not that the Imperial army is better able to fight in winter, but the armored forces cannot attack in winter, so they can focus on providing logistics support for the defensive forces.

If anything, it all has a lot to do with launching an offensive in advance.

Before the beginning of spring, Lian Xusheng launched an attack, which not only consumed a large amount of war materials, but also shortened the time used to reserve supplies by one month.

Now, the impact is being felt.

Without an advance offensive, the Imperial Army would not have been able to take Semyo Zornoye in May.

The problem now is that if the offensive is postponed until the end of August, then in the next month, the Imperial Navy will have to play the leading role.

Although this is not mentioned in the telegram, the meaning is very clear.

Of course, whether it is attacking the Bakrotto or marching to Yebao, the navy has to do its best to attack the transit island, and it can't be lazy at all.

From another point of view, Lian Xusheng's decision to enter the caves is actually related to the current situation.

To say, this is also where Bai Zhizhan sighed.

Lian Xusheng must have received the news that the Combined Fleet had suffered heavy losses, and thought of the situation of Bai Zhizhan before submitting a battle plan to attack the caves.

As for this plan, it must have been written a long time ago.

Perhaps, in Lian Xusheng's hands, there is also a battle plan based on attacking Yebao.

In any case, Lian Xusheng focused on the Baguo at this time, rather than Yebao, which was also related to the Bai Zhi War, which could be said to be worrying about the Bai Zhi War.

If you really want to look at it from the perspective of the army, that is, with the goal of quickly defeating the Luosha Federation, you should actually go to Fort Ye.

Yebao is not only a strong military fortress, but also the administrative center of the eastern region of Luosha, the third largest city in the country, known as the "Eastern Capital".

In fact, the name of the city is derived from Empress Catherine, who pushed the Luosha Empire to its peak.

It's just that Lian Xusheng can help so much.

To put it bluntly, Bai Zhizhan has to take down the transit island before the end of August, at least to ensure the victory.

If it drags on until September, after the army launches a strategic offensive, even if Liu Changxun comes forward, he will not be able to get enough resources for the Baizhi war.

Obviously, this is the conundrum that lies ahead of the White Stop.
