Chapter 175: Garrison and Defense

After Ling Xia returned to the camp, he immediately ordered the division to assemble and prepare for battle, and as soon as he finished assembling here, he saw a division on the left and right wings slowly running towards the direction of the school field, and those soldiers shouted the trumpet while running: "Roar, roar, roar, roar......"

When the three divisions were all assembled from the training plant, Fu Qingyun, the commander of the third corps, came to the training factory to give a lecture, he was the first time to meet with the generals of the three divisions under his command, not to mention the Tiger Division and the Panshi Division, when Fu Qingyun saw the lineup of the Battle Flag Division, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Other divisions and regiments are all staffed by 30,000 people, but the Battle Flag Division has 58,000 people, which is enough to be worth two integrated divisions and regiments.

After the army was assembled, Ling Xia led Boss Luo, Situ Chenfeng, Yue Qianfeng, Huya, Jiang Hailiu, and Lao Cui and the shopkeeper to ask Fu Qingyun for peace, seeing Ling Xia's actions, Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu also led the generals of their respective divisions and regiments to come forward to ask for peace.

Everyone got acquainted with each other, Fu Qingyun, as the commander of the legion, naturally wanted to speak, he first announced that Ling Xia was the commander of the legion's discipline department, the reason why he was Ling Xia was because the strength of the battle flag division was the strongest, and secondly, because the position on Ling Xia's file was the commander of the discipline correction department.

At the beginning, after Ling Xia was promoted to the commander of the Correction Division, because there was no legion to correct the discipline, he could only concurrently serve as the commander of the division, and he always had this title idle, but now that the Third Army has been reorganized and the Correction Division also exists, then he has a place to use as a commander.

Fu Qingyun let Ling Xia be responsible for the discipline of the regiment, if a soldier corrupts military discipline and violates military regulations, the generals below the division commander can directly rule and deal with it, if the division commander level of the military general violates discipline, the correction department has the right to restrict his military power, and after consulting with the corps commander, he will be dealt with.

To put it bluntly, Ling Xia is currently the second-in-command of the Third Legion, and after announcing the candidates for the commander of the Correction Division, Ling Xia briefly introduced several division commanders and captains, and then pointed to the smoke-emitting city wall in the distance, telling everyone that it was the garrison of the Third Legion.

Zhou'an Province is the easternmost provincial capital of Yuankun Xinjiang, the whole provincial capital is square, there are four city gates, except for the west city gate to reach the security zone, the remaining three city gates are all close to the war zone, these three city gates are the only way for the enemy to enter Yuankun Xinjiang, as long as one of them is broken, the defense line will open a gap.

It can be said that Yuankun Xinjiang is the most marginal territory of the northern theater of operations, and Zhou'an Province is the outermost province of Yuankun Xinjiang.

The eastern, southern, and northern gates of the province are all separated by more than 1,000 miles, especially the northern city, which is close to the territory where the theater headquarters is located, and is only a few hundred miles away from the northern theater.

Because of this, the military position of the northern city is the most important, among the three legions in the state of Ontario, the first legion is responsible for the city defense military of the eastern city, the second army is responsible for the city defense military of the southern city, and the third army corps where Ling Xia is located is responsible for the city defense military of the northern city.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the inner city, all the war guards in Anzhou Province are commanded and dispatched by the general Gao Tianci, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the supply of materials for each legion.

The direction where the enemy attack just took place belongs to the defense area of the First Army Corps, which is the inner city, because of the losses caused by successive battles, the city defense area has been disconnected, so there will be enemy divisions and regiments, which should have been infiltrated by the enemy from some weakly defended areas.

Recently, the enemy's style of fighting is very strange, there is no regulation or law to speak of, they are always attacking in all directions, retreating when they encounter a large battle guard, fighting when they encounter a war guard army of the same size, and chasing and fighting when they encounter a small battle guard.

In addition, the enemy harassed the battle guards in charge of the city defense in every way, and attacked the city night and day, and when the troops were assembled and pulled up the city wall, the enemy retreated, but the battle guards had just collected their troops and lay down, and the enemy army returned, which caused a headache on the side of the war guards.

After giving a lecture to everyone and introducing the situation, Fu Qingyun ordered all divisions to continue to standby, not only the third army was assembled, but the soldiers and horses of the second army in the distance were also on standby, half an hour later, three fireworks flew into the sky at the same time, seeing this, Fu Qingyun announced the end of the mission and went back to rest.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Ling Xia suddenly received an order from Fu Qingyun, the third army set up camp and went to Beicheng to set up defense, after receiving the order, Ling Xia summoned the soldiers of the battle flag division to set off, and the main camp of the battle guard army was more than 300 miles away from Beichengyue.

After a hurried march, the 3rd Army arrived in the evening to the northern city of Ontario, where a regiment had been stationed, but after continuous fighting, they had been reduced by more than half of their strength, and now there were less than 50,000 men left.

The northern city is about the size of an urban area, and the outer layer is surrounded by a huge city wall hundreds of miles long, in addition to the gate of the main city in the middle, there is also a city gate on the left and right wings, and the task of the third army is to defend these three gates to ensure that they are not breached.

According to the military order issued by the theater headquarters, the Battle Flag Division was responsible for the deployment of the main city, the Panshi Division was responsible for the right flank, the Tiger Division was responsible for the left flank, and the corps headquarters was set up in a prefect's yamen more than 40 miles away from the battlefield, which was responsible for the deployment of the battle plan.

The defense area of the main city is about 300 miles, on both sides are the city walls and trap areas, and the main city gate is the main battlefield.

After going up, I saw that the city wall was full of broken gaps, and the city wall more than five meters high had nothing left except for a passage for archers to pass, and after pondering for a while, Ling Xia issued his first order stationed in Beicheng: "Repair the wall and rebuild the defense system of the main gate of Beicheng." ”

Then, Ling Xia personally designed a sketch, so that all the soldiers of the division and regiment participated in the construction, within three days, the defensive wall of the main city must be rebuilt, when everyone took the sketch and saw the layout above, they immediately gasped.
