Chapter 854: Arrange a campaign to attack the hinterland of Shanxi Prefecture
Zhang Qiang was angry and indisputable about Wang Yuqun's loss of the fighter plane, and really wanted to remove him, the deputy corps commander, but he didn't report it, but hesitated here, how can this be like a soldier.
Zhang Qiang has never interfered in the command of the front line, but only set goals for them and let them complete them on their own, and now it seems that they are too conservative.
"Go and rectify the troops brought this time, the battalion of the personal guard battalion and the garrison headquarters, as well as the artillery battalion of the artillery director, you don't need to reorganize it, you can reorganize all the troops that came with me this time, and reorganize them into a temporary division, with me as the commander-in-chief, you as the deputy commander, and report all the troops you are now at home, and I will see how many troops are available."
After speaking, Zhang Qiang ignored Wang Yuqun and went back to the bedroom alone to rest.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Qiang shouted, "Come in." The Attendant Defense Attache walked up to Zhang Qiang with a document, "Your Majesty, Wei Wuji has asked Your Majesty for instructions from the Ministry of National Defense, he wants to mobilize the Third Fleet's three hundred old warships and warships in Palawan to attack the ports of Siam and cut off the enemy's water supplies. ”
Zhang Qiang took the document and looked at it, and then said, "How is our new warship built?" ”
The attendant military attache said: "Your Majesty, 84 warships and frigates have entered the service of various fleets, and all the warship personnel have been trained, except for the thirty-five warships of the Third Fleet in Palawan, the other fleets have one, two, four, twelve warships, and four frigates, and the Huaxia battleship in Jinling Mansion has also obtained the remaining two frigates, and now Jinling Mansion has four frigates in addition to one battleship, and the frigates usually patrol along the Yangtze River, and they are temporarily used by the Yangtze River Garrison Naval Division.
Some of the other 72 rebuilt warships have already been launched, and some are still laying keels, and they will be commissioned at least three months later. ”
"In that case, then send some old ships of the Fourth Fleet to Palawan Island to strengthen the patrol and garrison, the Fourth Fleet will use some fishing boats and the coast guard to share some old warships between Cam Ranh Bay and Qiong Island, and let the frigates obtained by the Fourth Fleet also join the patrol, and for the time being, the enemy in those places will not be able to break through, so be it, promise him."
Wei Wuji used to command all the troops to put pressure on the Du Ge rebels, blockade them, and change the unfavorable situation, but now Zheng Keshuang cooperated with Li Yuanyin and they occupied Cambodia, and they were planning the Sinicization project in Cambodia, and at present, they just needed to maintain pressure on Siam.
Two days later, Zhang Qiang led all his troops to the mountain city on the north bank.
Wan Douni hurriedly greeted them.
Zhang Qiang learned about the situation here, and now it has returned to its previous situation, with as many as 40,000 troops pressed here, a newly transferred militia brigade, the militia elite brigade has a strength of 18,000 people, and each village has organized a militia self-defense force, about 2,000 people, and one village is still like that, the strength is less than a small banner, and some even have only three or five people.
The old militia brigade and elite brigade were transferred back to the rear for reorganization.
The provisional garrison brigade composed of three garrison regiments has more than 8,000 troops.
A field army has 3,500 troops in a provisional regiment, which is nearly 31,500 troops.
A new artillery battalion of a field brigade with 800 troops.
There is also a field brigade of 5,500 troops.
After all of Zhang Qiang's troops cross the river in a few days, this will be more than 60,000 troops.
After listening to their report, Zhang Qiang looked at the map, turned to Tianying and said, "Give you a garrison regiment, a cavalry company, and a militia brigade squad, I want you to take Jiangxian County and block the road for Yuncheng Mansion to attack Jinzhong." ”
He drew dots on the map for the Celestial Shadow to see.
Jiangxian is just stuck on the only southern mountain road from Yuncheng Mansion in Shanxi Prefecture to Jinzhong, with mountains on both sides, and unless the enemy goes around and walks the mountain road, it can only pass through here.
Celestial Shadow not only had to take Jiangxian County, but also another town more than ten kilometers away, otherwise if the enemy blocked the exit at that turn, it would be difficult for them to get out from anywhere in the future.
Then Zhang Qiang said to Wan Douni: "Lead your temporary regiment to set off, give me to take Linyi County in the north of Yuncheng Mansion, and then hold on for a few days, the troops behind will take over your position and continue to exert pressure on Yuncheng Mansion, you lead the team to take Wanrong County Cheng, and block another exit for the enemy to escape from the mountains." Of course, you will strengthen a militia squad. ”
After speaking, he said to the new garrison general behind him: "You take a squadron of the militia elite brigade, and a militia squad to follow Wan Douni and set off, and then your task is to rescue or reinforce, or take over Wan Douni's position." ”
After speaking, he ignored a few people, turned around and gave an order to the other two garrison regiments, "Your task is to cover each other, start from the ferry port of Fenghuang Town, march along the river bank, reach a certain level, seize and attack to the east, and march all the way to Hejin County.
Each of your regiments has a squad of militia brigades to follow to deliver supplies or use as your support force. ”
Zhang Qiang calculated, and in this way he sent out about five squads of the ordinary militia brigade, and three squads, which he felt should be spread along the banks of the Yellow River and occupy the villages and towns on the passages opened by the troops in front.
If all of this is realized, then Yunchengfu will be surrounded in a corner of Shanxi Prefecture, because Yunchengfu is almost surrounded by mountains.
He continued to draw dots on the map, and after a while he said to the garrison general of the militia elite brigade: "For the remaining troops, 1,000 troops will be distributed in the mountains, 1,000 troops will guard the mountain city, 1,000 troops will guard the ferries, and 1,000 troops will guard the ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River in the rear that are easy to land on, so as to ensure the safety of this area." There is also a small team left, so they are sent to support the Celestial Shadow. ”
In this way, Zhang Qiang used all the troops here in the early stage.
Zhang Qiang said to the general of the field brigade: "Your department will set off in half a month to capture Yuncheng Mansion, and then send a battalion to Hejin County to reinforce where, and the rest of the troops will set off from Yuncheng Mansion to capture Jishan County." Where to defend. ”
Then he said to the garrison general of a field regiment that followed Feng Wuyu's corps: "Your troops will quickly march towards Houma Mansion, and there will be two squadrons of militia elite brigades that will follow you to cover you as your reinforcements. After they arrive, you will accept his command, and the Houma Mansion will be guarded and attacked, and listen to him. ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiang felt that it was really dangerous to put three militia squads on the bank of the Yellow River, so he placed a garrison battalion from Jinling Mansion that followed him in a county town behind the area defended by ordinary militia squads.
After that, there will be no more troops.
At that time, it is not his family's strength that can fight, he is not ready to transfer Wang Yuqun's eighth field division, so that Henan Mansion will have no field troops, this battle will cripple the two militia units of Henan Mansion, and now to eliminate the 20,000 soldiers and horses left by Shang Kexi of Yuncheng Mansion, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses, at present, so many soldiers and horses, it is simply a lion fighting rabbit with all his might, and there will be a lot of strength left at that time, depending on the situation.
Merlinyu and Bagyaru may still need some troops on their side, and he can't drain all the troops here.
