As soon as Liu Chang's words came out, the entire venue fell silent, and then all the officers stood up unconsciously.

Although there are controversies and disputes, they will not forget who brought them to this venue, Sun Huzi almost overturned the table just now, but at this moment he behaved like a primary school student, shrunk his head, for fear that Liu Chang would be dissatisfied.

Huo Qiu glanced at Liu Chang, but his eyes were full of hope, he knew that Liu Chang would never let himself down, and Feng Sixian had already clenched his fists excitedly, he knew that His Royal Highness King Yan had the ability to turn decay into magic, and even directly said that a little stone into gold would be, he was a bitter haha, it turned out that even the workers didn't think he was strong enough, but now there are millions of people under his command.

Qu Jie had a smile on his face, he trusted Liu Chang, he knew that Liu Chang would not let him and the Dragon Lance Battalion suffer at any time, the Dragon Lance Battalion was the most basic force of the Rainbow Army, so at the venue, only the First Army did not fight for itself, what was sugar, there was always a share of the First Division.

And Liu Chang said: "The international situation, I have already analyzed it for you, so we have to speed up the action, my general idea is to strengthen the offensive next, let the Russians know our strength, and also deal with the provinces outside the border as soon as possible, so my idea is very simple, that is, to strike hard, and it is impossible to miss any possible opportunity!" ”

"But I've practiced boxing for a few days, and I know that the harder the punch, the more you have to concentrate, and if you punch out, you can knock the opponent over directly!" Liu Chang said very gracefully: "Therefore, our next offensive must maintain a fist-attacking posture, and the rest of the aspects are assists!" ”

Now that Sun Huzi didn't make a fuss, he knew that Liu Chang had made a ruling, and Liu Chang continued: "This one fist. This offensive should concentrate the weapons, elite troops, and even financial resources of the whole army, and knock over the opponent with one punch, but we now need to open up a strategic direction. As I said, there are three, Fujian, Guangzhou, two lakes, and two Huai! ”

"So we could only throw three punches in one go, one punch and one punch heavier. The first punch starts with Sun Beard from you! Sun Lixing! ”

"In!" Sun Huzi didn't expect this first fire to start burning from himself: "The Fujian departments absolutely obey the inspection order, no matter if they go to the fire or water!" ”

Liu Chang directly ordered: "Order my troops stationed in Fujian to launch an attack with a thunderous offensive after receiving troops, weapons, ammunition and financial support!" The attack time is limited to 20 days, and when the attack time expires, each unit must stop the offensive and organize the battle line on the spot! Got it? ”

"Understood!" It's just that Sun Huzi didn't understand it at all, and he still had a bunch of questions that he couldn't figure out. He immediately asked, "Your Highness, when did we start attacking and what kind of assistance did we provide?" ”

"Until the attack begins, I will do everything in my power to support you!" Liu Chang told Sun Huzi: "I will transport you more than a dozen ships of arms, silver and soldiers by sea, but after the troops are in place." You have to behave well! ”

Sun Huzi understood that his own theater was still in the position of a partial division, and as long as the offensive was launched, the support of the center would basically come to an end, and within the end of the 30-day offensive, it would basically return to its original state. But as long as the central government is willing to support itself, a few ships of supplies and soldiers are enough.

That's right, it's enough, usually the Fujian direction is the existence of the guy who doesn't kiss his father and doesn't love it. Now that he can get the unreserved support of the entire Hong Army, these athletes under him can completely sweep through Fujian, and even cross the Wuling Mountains and force Wuyang City.

And Liu Chang continued: "After the offensive in the Fujian direction is stopped, the next step is the Lianghuai direction, Feng Sixian and Fu Wendao!" ”

"Here!"

"Here!"

The two officers clenched their fists excitedly. I know that now Lianghuai is no longer a secondary direction, but has become the focus of the Fujian direction. In fact, they have already understood that as soon as the operation in the Fujian direction began, the support center of gravity of the entire Rainbow Army shifted to the Lianghuai in the north of the Yangtze River, and the Lianghuai Theater will become the most important theater of the entire Rainbow Army.

"The offensive in the Lianghuai direction is also limited to twenty days!" Liu Chang continued: "During this time, I will give you whatever you want!" If you want a Mini rifle, I will go to the British to buy it, and if you want granular gunpowder, I will let Duncan work overtime to produce it, and I will save you the silver in the harem, and you will also fight for it! ”

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The two of them couldn't suppress their excitement, Fu Wendao was thinking about how to hit Xuzhou, and Feng Sixian was thinking about how to sweep the Pheasant River Collection, and even directly enter Kaifeng, and Jin Peilun and Yu Cun next to him were also very excited, Jiangnan had been roughly calmed, and now it was the turn of the Third Division to show its hand, but Liu Chang's next decision made everyone feel a little surprised.

"The text of the agreement with the British and the French has been finalized, and when the time comes for the war to begin, it may have been approved by the British and French parliaments, so I will not only give you sufficient support, but also lend you the First Army for twenty days!"

Qu Jie was not polite immediately, he said directly: "Understood! ”

If the Twist Army, Qing Army, and Taiping Army in front of the two Huai can be said to be the strongest enemy army facing the entire Hong Army, not to mention that they have an absolute superiority in strength, if according to the calculation of the Qing Army's infantry battalion, the enemy army in front of it has at least four or five hundred infantry battalions, but the strength of the Hong Army now invested in the entire Jiangbei is only a dozen infantry battalions, even if Feng Sixian and Jin Peilun exhaust their forces to support, they can still get a few ships of infantry support from the center, that is no more than thirty battalions at most.

Since the end of the war with the French, the main force of the First Army has remained in Suzhou, Changzhou, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou, which can be said to be a collection of the elite of the Hong Army, although many combat units have been drawn out during the period, such as the Feng Sixian Brigade in southern Anhui, but it is also constantly forming new units, new ordnance ordered from abroad, and it is also excellent equipment for the First Army, and the infantry battalions alone have reached more than 30 infantry battalions, plus engineers, cavalry, baggage, artillery, The strength of the whole army is almost fifty battalions.

Such a strong force joined the Lianghuai offensive, which was a catastrophe for the Qing army, but now Qu Qiu was excited, Liu Chang only said that the first army fought in Lianghuai for 20 days, not to mention the specific deployment, presumably to support the operation in the direction of the two lakes.

Thinking about it, the direction of our two lakes is the most important, but Liu Chang went on to point out the name of Shi Huiji: "Shi Huiji!" ”

"In!"

"When the Lianghuai offensive stopped, we were ready to use the two lakes as the direction of the attack, but it must be explained that the First Army, as a mobile force, may directly go out of Henan, or it may be transferred to the two lakes, depending on the fighters, do you have confidence?"

"Have faith! Be determined! Perseverance! Shi Huiji said directly: "Now I have five infantry battalions in my hands, which is enough to enter Wuhan and drink the Yangtze River!" ”

"Good!" Liu Chang continued: "After the Lianghuai offensive begins, you will be the most important support direction, but there will be at least two months in between, and you can't relax!" You have five infantry battalions, nine county territory! But that's not enough, the two lakes now we have the advantage, Huo Qiu? ”

"In! I also have confidence, determination and perseverance! ”

"How is Wu Ruxiao's performance?"

"It's a first-class soldier for me!"

"Brigade Commander Shi, you are the old brigade commander of the Marine Brigade, but now you are willing to leave the Marine Brigade group?"

"Of course I do!" Shi Huiji said without thinking: "Wait for the inspection order!" ”

Liu Chang immediately said: "That's good! You are the commander of the Seventh Division, I will transfer Wu Ruxiao Brigade to you, you will be able to operate well in Hubei with peace of mind, I can't treat you badly! ”

Shi Huiji was overjoyed in his heart, Hubei is a very critical province, and now he is the commander of the Seventh Division, as long as he manages it well, the position of the Hubei Overseer is his own meal, not to mention that he also got a Wu Ruxiao brigade, this Wu Ruxiao is the general of the Taiping Army guarding Zhenjiang, although the troops are slightly less, only 3,700 people, but they have been performing well in the Lianghu battlefield.

Huo Qiu did not have much resistance to the transfer of Wu Ruxiao's brigade and Shi Huiji's new infantry division in Hubei, after all, this was a matter within the scope of the Second Army, and the better Hubei fought, the more favorable it would be for the Hunan front to achieve a complete victory.

Strictly speaking, whether it was the five infantry battalions fighting in Hubei or the Wu Ruxiao Brigade newly transferred to Hubei, they did not have a deep relationship with Huo Qiu and the Second Division, and they only had a friendship of three or five months, and they did not belong to the same system.

And Liu Chang has now named Huo Qiu: "Old Huo! ”

"Your Highness!" Huo Qiu immediately replied: "This time Changsha will definitely be defeated, and Changsha will never be returned if it is not broken!" ”

"Don't be so serious!" Liu Chang replied: "It's not about laying Changsha, it's about how to run Changsha well, we must remember the lessons of the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially the lessons of attacking Fujian!" ”

There are many reasons for the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Liu Chang believes that the most important reason is the relationship between the attack on Hunan and the attack on Fujian.

Especially for the battle of Fujian, Liu Chang felt that there were many lessons, so he continued to explain: "This time to attack Hunan, we must ensure that the military and government are victorious, I have no other words, you make a list for me!" ”

"I want guns, ammunition, food and grass, fireboats, military salaries, or troops! As long as you don't want a woman, I'll try to find a way for you! ”
