Chapter 1196: Asking Strategy
A large part of the reason for the defeat in the Battle of Rongcheng was the wild beasts and heavy artillery, and although the infantry on the ground suffered heavy casualties, it did not cause the defense line to collapse. The recorded observation of the beastmen invested in Rongcheng reached more than 3,000 people, and each time it was a concentrated assault of at least 300 to 500 people.
A tactical squad organized by manpower alone, even if it can destroy the berserkers, will also have to pay a heavy price.
If the group launches a surprise attack, the coalition defense line will be pinned down by tens of thousands of people, and the gap will be torn open, and it will only take one wave to open a gap with a length of more than seven or eight miles from the front, and then the infantry will swarm in.
This tactic is very similar to tank warfare, relying on a strong tactical assault force, which instantly and forcefully tears through the gap, and then the infantry pours in to follow.
The use of beast soldiers in the north of the Central Plains also faces the problem of not adapting to the soil and water, Jin Xuedi and the beast soldiers are from the southern cold zone, the alpine zone, the latitude of Yan is similar to that of Xian, they are all subtropical, and there is a tropical climate along the coast, and the beast soldiers carry heavy fur on their backs, which is very unsuitable and needs to be shaved and shaded.
In view of the scorching heat of the summer battle and the low morale brought about by the unfavorable war, Bailiyan quickly purchased two million bottles of beer, four million bottles of carbonated drinks with orange flavor and spice formula flavor, and transported them to Yan Country through Cao to supply the coalition forces to drink.
As far as possible, the same supply was guaranteed every month to be supplied to the front, and at the same time the study of carbonated beverage production lines and refrigeration equipment for production in the rear of the front line was ordered.
Although the drink cannot change the war, it can bring comfort to the soldiers, improve the physical suffering caused by the heat, and indirectly boost morale.
The war fell into a stalemate in July and August, the weather was very hot and had a huge impact on the battles of both sides, Yan was not like the Liang coast, there were large forests, water networks, hills that could provide shade, Yan was first developed by the Central Plains people on the coast.
The original people of the Central Plains crossed the coast by boat into the coastal plain, the coastal area was developed for 1,7800 years, the local native forests shrank seriously, and the rivers became canals under the labor of generations of ancestors, so there was no dense and continuous forest along the coast of Yanguo for trimming and refuting the heat, and the granite scattered in Rongcheng Port was small in terms of heat capacity, and it became a burden in summer.
In mid-July, the second town of Moyunfeng, the fourth and fifth columns, and 100,000 foreign soldiers, with a new medical battalion, two 657 howitzer brigades, and 400 121 pickup rocket launchers, went to Yan for reinforcements.
At the beginning of August, the Yan army was reorganized into 200,000 people and put into battle in four batches, and the 300,000 new troops pre-organized by Du Ruixun's department set out from Dekang to the west to aid the Yan country, training while walking.
At the same time, the torpedo boats won the first battle, sinking seven enemy ships and severely damaging four in the coastal waters of Yanguo. The airships launched successive air raids to bomb the port facilities, posing a huge threat to the enemy's landing.
In July alone, the orcs killed 397 orcs, which was beneficial to supporting the coalition position, but at the same time, the orcs suffered equally heavy losses.
After all, the beast soldier is a product of cold weapons, and many inconveniences and drawbacks of the hot weapon battlefield are undoubtedly apparent.
In retaliation for the fierce human offensive, the armpit used hot key bombs again, causing the coalition forces to lose more than 6,000 people at a time, more than 5,000 people were burned to varying degrees, and more than 1,000 people were permanently blinded.
At the same time, chlorine bombs were used in many places to carry out poison gas attacks on coalition positions, thanks to the large distribution of gas masks, which did not cause widespread casualties.
On the twenty-first day of August, at the base camp of the Western Front of the Allied Army in Meiyang County, Marshal Oka was furious with the latest battle report:
"These alien creatures are unforgivable, it simply doesn't make sense!"
At this time, Admiral Masacolo, who was on the side with a serious expression on the 1st Front of Afit, was cautious, and he said:
"Judging from the battle reports and seizures sent back by Admiral Yarka, the alien animals in the southern hemisphere have developed amazing communication technology, and they can communicate easily on the 12-3-mile ring line, as well as vehicles that can run flexibly, which is already very revealing."
One mile of the armpit people is equivalent to thirty miles of the Liang standard, and twelve or thirteen miles is equivalent to three or four hundred miles of land in the Central Plains.
Oka picked up the seized phone on the table and said through gritted teeth:
"Yes, I didn't expect that they would develop this advanced communication technology, a few years ago I didn't believe that this kind of beast with a bronze machete would have such scientific and technological strength."
"Looking at it now, in the previous battles, they not only successfully used this advanced means of communication, but also a large number of rapid vehicles, and they even mounted artillery on vehicles to fight while walking, which posed a great threat to us, and I suggest that the strategy should be adjusted."
"How do you adjust that?" Oka asked.
"Yarka believes that the current indications show that there are no more than 700,000 foreign animals on the front, and that the army group on his front is a full-scale assault and that the forces are too scattered, and I propose to choose key areas to go on the defensive, focusing on concentrating forces to attack their weak links."
"Yes, that's it, we must tear them apart in the second half of this year."
Since the beginning of the year, the Yarka front army group that landed at Rongcheng Port has successively seized the equipment of the coalition forces, including high-precision artillery observation scopes, field telephones, first-aid kits, guns and weapons, and even several blown up pickup trucks and motorcycles.
Through the reverse analysis and research of industrial technology, while shocking the high-level command of the communist alliance, the command level inevitably began to regret underestimating the risk of invading southward.
The war entered September, the temperature gradually cooled, the offensive on the periphery of Rongcheng resumed again, the two sides entered a brutal tug-of-war, the position frequently changed hands and was regained, and hundreds or even thousands of people had to be paid for fighting for an inch of land.
On September 23, the third phase of the Yongxing Vehicle Factory project was barely completed, and the production capacity was doubled compared with the first and second phases of the project, focusing on the production of light trucks, dump trucks and crawler ground operators, cranes, forklifts, loaders, and excavators became key equipment for the first time after the battle of Liangguo, and the economy of Xianguo was also driven by the war to gain unprecedented vitality.
Private capital and private enterprises have developed rapidly under the policies and financial support of the imperial court, and the emerging business model of integrating foreign capital with domestic capital has flourished.
Light industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, expanding almost four times faster and on a larger scale than it did a decade ago.
On the second day of October, the weather turned cooler, and the first good news of the Yan State in October was fiercely fought, and the coalition forces repelled the group's offensive head-on for the first time under the strong reinforcement counterattack.
On the third day of the first month, Bai Liyan went to Xuanyun to inspect the work and had a deep conversation with Zong Botai and Zhao Anling for two days.
Since the first war of Vawei, the two of them have been teaching in Xuanyun, but they are also leisurely, Bailiyan once wanted to arrange for the two to be officials, Zhao Anlingzhi is not an official, too lazy to be busy, Zong Botai is worried that something will happen to him, and he doesn't want to be an official.
"Mr. Zongbo, if the situation is becoming clearer and clearer today, Mr. Zong thinks when he will be able to take over the world after the war."
"Then Master Hou thinks that where is the upper limit of timing, and where is the lower limit."
Zong Botai's question made Bailiyan feel at a loss, he never thought that there would be an upper and lower limit of timing.
"I don't know what Mr. means by the upper and lower limits of timing?"
"Master Hou wants to unify the Central Plains in a hundred years, or unify the Central Plains in twenty years."
"The sooner you are, the better, but the sooner you go, the more resistance you have, and the later you go, the greater the external threat. The armpit has been able to imitate some of the weapons of our army, and under the advantage of one and the other, the Central Plains does not have an advantage.
If the Xianguo still only has its current territory, manpower and national strength, it will never be possible to fight with it for a long time. It is necessary to unify the world, deploy more manpower, develop large-scale industry, commerce and agriculture, and use the power of the world to defend against foreign enemies. ”
"Did the Hou Ye ever think that if one day, the external threat will no longer become a threat, and the internal will flow out due to the diffusion of industrial technology and education, and then reunify at that time, how much blood and price will be spent on the Xian country."
"I have also thought about this matter, it is absolutely impossible in twenty or thirty years, but after fifty years, the infiltration of the princes, coupled with the continuous theft and learning of self-made and self-made development of industry, will inevitably form a scale, and then unify by force, the difficulty will inevitably increase. At the same time as the civil war, if the threat to the north is not effectively addressed, it may be invaded again, and the threat will be even worse. ”
This is exactly the case, if the Central Plains cannot achieve reunification by political means, it will intervene by force. But if I take the opportunity to commit it, it will be another catastrophe. However, if it is not possible to reunify for a long time, the country of Xian is still small after all, and it is not enough to fight it alone, and the national strength will be exhausted for a long time, and it will be embarrassing to take on heavy tasks. ”
"According to Mr. Wang, what should we do in the thirty years after the war?"
"I think that the threat of the armpit cannot be completely eliminated, so that the external troubles can be subdued by the internal troubles, and at the same time the best policy is to win the hearts of the people, then to promote the unification of the small and the unified, to recruit the princes, and then to trap the unconvinced by economic means, and finally to coerce them by force."
"Sir is saying that if you defeat the armpit this time, you can't kill them all."
"Not necessarily, if you don't teach a lesson, you will inevitably make a comeback in the short term, but if you kill it too much, thirty or fifty years of cultivation and recuperation, study of our country's industrial technology, and it may be difficult to cope with it next time, and if there is no external pressure, the princes will have a slack heart."
"I understand ...... below"
Zong Botai intends to use external pressure to promote internal unity in a multi-pronged manner. If the external threat disappears completely, the princes will misjudge the situation and think that the armpit is no longer a cause for concern, and feel good.
However, the armpit suffered the huge losses of the Xianguo, studied the seized technology through reverse technology, developed advanced weapons, and went south again after 35 years of cultivation and recuperation, at this time the Central Plains still did not achieve reunification and industrial scale, and the consequences were even more serious than this time.
Only by constantly keeping the northern and southern hemispheres in a low-intensity confrontation and conflict, especially the fierce conflicts confined to the sea, and always making the Central Plains tense its nerves and feel the precarious and imminent external threat, can all countries be prompted to pursue reunification psychologically, and the Xianguo country also has a legitimate and reasonable excuse to win the support of the people of the whole world, and finally achieve basic reunification at the lowest political cost.
If he seriously injured his armpit this time, he would have been confined to the mainland for thirty or fifty years, and he would have made every effort to recuperate and develop technology, and Xianguo would not have the naval strength and national strength to go north for an expedition within thirty or fifty years.
At this time, the Central Plains completely lost external pressure, and even though the internal princes could not develop the current scale of the Xianguo Kingdom in thirty or fifty years, the manufacture of guns was explained through the principle, even small workshops could make them, and no matter what the accuracy was, as long as they could be released, they were considered successful.
At that time, it will be impossible to achieve political reunification, and at the same time, it will be necessary to digest the huge territory of the Changsun Peninsula, heal the wounds of the civil war, and develop industry and economy.
However, the outflow of technology has led to the proliferation of weapons, and it is even more difficult to unify by force, and even if the final reunification can be achieved, the cost will be unbearable.
