According to the information of the General Staff, the ten new legions of the Rakshasa Kingdom are:

the Yakov Regiment, which consisted of two cavalry regiments (one Reitel cavalry regiment, one dragoon regiment), an artillery company;

the Stepan regiment, under the command of a dragoon regiment, an infantry regiment, two artillery batteries;

Valery's regiment, under the command of one Reitel cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments;

Kudryash Corps, with two infantry regiments and an artillery company;

the Bervshka Corps, which had two infantry regiments;

Levlovich's regiment, under the command of two Retel cavalry regiments, an infantry regiment, and an artillery company;

the Moros Legion, which had three infantry regiments;

Andreevich's regiment, which had two infantry regiments;

Yefim Regiment, with two infantry regiments;

Mikhail Regiment with an infantry regiment under its command.

Among them, the Yakov Corps, the Stepan Corps, the Valery Corps, the Kudryash Corps and the Bervshka Corps were assembled in the city of Balkhash on the northern shore of Lake Balkhash, and three Cossack cavalry regiments and two artillery regiments also arrived in Balkhash.

The total strength of the Rakshasa in the city of Balkhash reached 30,000 men, under the command of Lieutenant General Yakov.

The Levlovich Corps and the Moros Corps were transferred to the north; Andreevich's regiment, Yefim's regiment, Mikhail's regiment, as well as two Cossack cavalry regiments and an artillery regiment were on standby in Moscow.

Gao Junshan stood in front of the sand table and thought, his eyes did not come to open Lake Balkhash, and the concentration of five legions from the Rakshasa Kingdom in Balkhash City shows that the direction of the attack of the Rakshasa Army is in this area.

How to defend against an attack of 30,000 troops?

Gao Junshan fell into deep thought......

"Your Majesty, Cao Wenzhao has a telegram coming." Deputy Chief of Staff Dai Zicheng came in to Gao Jun Mountain.

Gao Junshan raised his head from his contemplation and asked, "What content?" ”

Dai Zicheng reported: "Cao Wenzhao called and said that since the 'Wuchang No. 1' and 'Wuchang No. 2' patrolled along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all parts of the coast have returned to obedience, and now there is a lonely city in Jinling and Fengyang Mansion left. Cao Wenzhao asked for instructions on whether he could send troops to Fengyang? ”

The intended purpose of Gao Junshan has been completed, Fengyang is not the point, as long as the Jinling small court is finished, Fengyang is not a thing.

So, Gao Junshan said: "Tell Cao Wenzhao to resolutely implement the principle of not using swords and guns against the people, and Fengyang doesn't have to pay attention to it." Now we can take extreme measures against Jinling, evacuate all the people in our Jinling City, and then block the whole city, the people in Jinling City can only go out and not enter, let alone bring a grain of rice or a bowl of water into Jinling, I will starve Zhu Youxiang to death inside. ”

"What about the people?"

"The people are allowed to go out of the city, but they are not allowed to go back, and those who go out of the city are to be fed and lodging." Gao Junshan emphasized, "Tell Cao Wenzhao that Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang must withdraw immediately." ”

"Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang are also our people?" Dai Zicheng was surprised.

Now there is no need to keep it secret, Gao Junshan clearly told Dai Zicheng: "Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang are people from the General Affairs Bureau, and they ordered the General Affairs Bureau and the working groups in Jinling City to withdraw by telegram, and no one remained." ”

"Obey!" Dai Zicheng then reported: "The telegram also said that all the Jinling sailors had surrendered to our dynasty, and there were 1,569 large and small warships, including three large treasure ships that Zheng He went to the Western Ocean. The Jinling and Taicang shipyards have also been subordinated to our dynasty, and the people of the Admiralty are in contact with the fleet to take over. ”

Gao Junshan ordered: "After taking over the shipyard, the Admiralty will immediately start to build an ocean-going giant ship according to the pattern of Zheng He's treasure ship, and convert the existing three Zheng He treasure ships into steam engine ocean-going warships, and rename them 'Zheng He'." ”

"Compliance"

"Prepare the message first, and then send it to me!"

"Obey!"

Dai Zicheng was ordered to go downstairs.

The small court of Jinling could not bear it for a few days, as long as they cut off all their supplies, they could starve to death in less than ten days.

If the problem of Jinling is solved, then what remains in the south is Liangguang and Taiwan.

The problem in the south will be solved in the next step, and the most important thing at present is to think about how to deal with the Rakshasa country first. It is no secret that the Rakshasa Kingdom is about to launch a summer offensive against the Huaxia Kingdom.

In terms of weapons and equipment, Huaxia is superior to Rakshasa country, the army of Rakshasa country is equipped with Pishaw arquebus, its rate of fire is three minutes and two rounds, if it is not trained, it can not reach this rate of fire, the rate of fire of the Mini gun in the high mountains is three times faster than theirs, and it is not affected by the weather.

According to the report of the General Staff, only 30 percent of the army of the Rakshasa State is equipped with Pishaw arquebuses, while the mixed brigade of Gao Junshan is 100 percent equipped with hot weapons, and only the Mongolian and Mongolian cavalry divisions are still equipped with cold weapons.

In terms of the number of troops, the troops on the front line in Gao Junshan have only 20,000 troops, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades as reserves are still in Mongolia, the 30,000 Mongolian Cavalry Division of Uliji is maintaining local law and order in the central area, the 2nd Army Division that has just arrived is still familiar with the environment near Karasar, and Sun Dahai's Marine Brigade is far away in the Aral Sea.

Therefore, the army is relatively large compared to the Rakshasa country, and the Rakshasa country has at least 30,000 horses and horses assembled on the north shore of the lake in Balkhash.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, Gao Junshan is not worried, military literacy and individual combat ability are definitely the advantage of Gao Junshan's side, Gao Junshan is worried about the cavalry of the Rakshasa country, especially the cavalry of the Cossacks, the impact is not ordinarily powerful.

Although they had some confrontations with the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom, they did not fight his cavalry head-on, and the two cavalry regiments that dealt with Colonel Reinhardt at that time did not face each other head-to-head on the vast battlefield, but relied on the rivers and valleys to take a surprise attack on them and win.

Surprise attack?

Gao Junshan flashed with inspiration.

Why not start a raid war?

It is better to wait for the enemy country to come and fight, it is better to give them a surprise attack, and now that the two countries are already at war, there is no need to declare war on him in advance.

Isn't he coming to beat us? We pretend to be weak, paralyze them, and then give him a surprise attack, which will definitely catch them off guard.

Thinking of this, Gao Junshan became excited, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

So, he called Dai Zicheng to discuss the idea of a sneak attack on the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Dai Zicheng presented a prepared telegram to Gao Junshan for inspection, and Gao Junshan was very satisfied with it, but he only revised some of the wording, and then signed it for the telegraph operator to take and send the telegram, and the telegram was sent to Cai Zhishan, and Cai Zhishan's Military and Political Yuan handled the various matters mentioned in the telegram.

The young and beautiful female telegraph operator took the message from Gao Junshan and turned to go down to the second floor.

After Gao Junshan asked Dai Zicheng to sit down, he said: "I asked you to come up to discuss the matter of the sneak attack on Balkhash City, and I want to hear your opinion." ”

When Dai Zicheng listened to Gao Junshan's complete plan for a sneak attack on Balkhash City, he also thought that this plan was feasible, and they must not have thought of giving the Rakshasa Kingdom a surprise attack. He also proposed to lay another puzzle in the capital to confuse the Rakshasa Kingdom.
