Chapter 223: The Ottoman Janissaries Guard

After receiving Gao Hanmei's reply, Gao Junshan agreed to the Kazakh regiment's request for the new regiment to be equipped with Mini guns, and also agreed to her proposal to change the training location from Karasar City to Kalaganda City. In this way, after the training of the new regiment, they can directly set off from the city of Garaganda with Mamatiyali.

He sent a notice to Cao Wenzhao to change the location, asking them to overcome the difficulties and meet the demands of the Kazakh regiment.

After a short period of intensive training, Gao Junshan ordered the 50,000 male soldiers of the Kazakh regiment to go deep into the hinterland of the Persian kingdom, Rai, which was later known as Tehran, where they formed a two-country alliance with the Persian army to resist the invasion of the Ottoman Empire.

With Gao Hanmei participating in the war with the army, Gao Junshan was able to get the latest battle report of the Kazakh Legion in the capital.

He was in the war room of the Military and Political Yuan every day during this time, because the summer offensive was coming, the army of Huaxia had already been spread out, and on the south bank of Lake Balkhash, on the coast of Shaohai, and on the front line of Persia, our three army groups had already begun to launch offensives against their respective targets.

This is June 1648, the operational headquarters of the Military and Political Yuan in the capital, Gao Junshan is in front of the sand table, and is analyzing the military situation with Bailisha and Cai Zhishan.

The 10 transmitters of the headquarters frequently received the positions of the various units and at the same time issued various orders from the Military and Political Yuan.

The planned military campaign against the Rakshasa was now complicated by the Ottoman Empire's pressure to turn the Persian Kingdom into a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. If the Kingdom of Persia did become a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, it would be the Huaxia Kingdom that suffered the most, because Gao Junshan's plan to extend its influence into the Persian Gulf would have failed.

Fighting for the Persian kingdom to free itself from the threat of the Ottoman Empire is what Gao Junshan must do, and it is also a top priority.

The summer offensive against the Rakshasa country cannot be stopped, and if you don't fight the Rakshasa country, the Rakshasa country will definitely come to fight you, because they are already prepared.

The occupation of the western frontier is also urgent, because the area is located in the bitter cold, and only summer is the best time to send troops, and if you miss it, you will have to wait for a year.

At this time, Li Guo also came to join in the fun, and he sent several telegrams to Gao Junshan asking for war, but they were all suppressed by Gao Junshan.

Waging war on both sides is a taboo for soldiers, so Gao Junshan decided to postpone military operations against Guangzhou, Annam, and Taiwan for the time being.

Although Zhu Youxiang's small court in Jinling collapsed, Zhu Changying, the king of Gui in Guangxi, was still surviving and controlled the Liangguang region. To win Zhu Changying, Gao Junshan is completely sure. He was not in a hurry to ask Zhu Changying and ordered Li Guo to suspend his action, which was to avoid a situation of fighting on two fronts.

At the military analysis meeting, Berisha advised the Kazakh corps not to go too deep into the Persian front.

The deployment of the forces of both sides at this time is as follows:

The three legions of the Ottoman Empire, with a total of 120,000 troops, were divided into two routes to flank the army of the Persian kingdom, and the left army was led by Mustafa with two legions, a total of 80,000 horses, and attacked and advanced along the western shore of the Caspian Sea from north to south, and had already killed Rudesar, less than 100 miles from Rai;

The Right Army, led by General Imas, was the Janissary Guards, which marched from Baghdad (which by this time was already occupied by the Ottoman Empire) and advanced westward, forming an encirclement posture against Rai.

The Janissary Guard, also known as the "Turkish Janissaries", was created in 1362. The army was drawn from boys selected from the conquered Christians of the Balkans, who were brought back to Turkey to receive the ideas of the Ottoman Empire, and received military training, relying on strict organization, excellent tactical qualities, and fanatical faith, the Guards became the elite of the Ottoman Empire. The Guards were actually similar to military monks, who were required to be celibate and abstinent, with the army as their home and the Sultan as their father, although there were many later killings of Lao Tzu, one of their characteristics may be that they only have a mustache and two mustaches. After training at the age of twenty-four or five, they will officially become a member of the Janissary Guards, and the training period lasts for more than ten years, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The Persian kingdom has an army of 100,000 troops, concentrated in the Rai region, and the 50,000 Kazakh regiments of the Huaxia State have just entered the Rai region.

Gao Junshan asked Bailisha: "What does Mao Cheng think?" ”

Bailisha pointed to the sand table and analyzed: "Our army should not be too sudden and exposed to the Ottoman army, we must use the bushes in this area to set up an ambush, and then let the Persian army use the tactics of retreating and luring the enemy to go deep, and lead the Ottoman army to the ambush circle and annihilate it." In this way, the appearance of our army will be sudden, and it will surely be able to win a great victory. The Ottoman Right Army, although strong in combat, must be slow to move because they are all infantry, and as long as the Persian army can delay them for three days, the Ottoman army's offensive will inevitably collapse. ”

Cai Zhishan worried: "I don't know if the Persian army can resist the Janissaries on the right, in case they can't resist it, let them come to a counter-encirclement, we will be passive." ”

Gao Junshan said: "If the Persian army is allowed to withdraw from the defensive line, without taking any cattle, sheep, gold and silver, and waiting for the enemy to loot, won't this be able to stop their advance?" ”

Cai Zhishan said: "If it is in our country, if this kind of tactic is adopted, the people will understand and support it." The Persians, on the other hand, may not be able to understand this style of play, and it may be difficult for them to abandon their property. ”

Gao Junshan said: "You must tell them, don't be afraid that your altar and jars will be broken, don't care about the gains and losses of that inch and every inch of land, the reason why we want to make great strides today is to be able to return to this place in the future." ”

"The situation is different, this method is risky, and we don't know much about the Janissary Guards, if they are a disciplined team and ignore the property discarded along the way, our plan will fail." ”

Cai Zhishan said: "If it doesn't work, the Persian kingdom will send a death squad to resolutely drag the Janissaries on the line of Ecbatan until the ambush is over." ”

Gao Junshan made up his mind: "We will tell Shail both of these plans, and they will judge the situation and make a decision, as for the outcome of the battle, we can only resign ourselves to fate." ”

Bailisha comforted: "Your Majesty does not need to be so pessimistic, after all, the initiative is in our hands, as long as we keep abreast of the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, the Persian army will not be defeated." ”

In order to ease the atmosphere, Cai Zhishan pointed to the direction of the Rakshasa Kingdom and said, "Let's turn our attention to Lake Balkhash!" ”
