Chapter 503: Amateurish
The reason why Goxinga talked with Asano and others for so long, in addition to attracting the little devil to send him to death, was also because he was in a good mood. The Manchurian Army's division and encirclement of the Milyutin Russian army group went very smoothly, and at present more than 200,000 Russian troops have been divided into six large groups in the narrow plain between the Jingqili River and the Udi River. The Russian army's foreign aid has been completely cut off, and if it cannot break through, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
Milyutin, a famous general of the Tsarist Russian generation, although his military ability is extremely strong and his talent is much higher than that of Guoxinga, he was also caught off guard in the face of this never-before-seen tactic. By the time Milyutin figured it out, the 4th, 6th, 7th, and 11th Divisions of the Manchurian Army, as well as the 2nd Cavalry Division of Gilzhanga, had all broken into the gaps between the various units of the Russian army, breaking the Russian army into several sections in an instant, and the brigades and regiments had also blocked the retreat and southward passage of the Russian army
Milyutin also wanted to command the Russian army to break through the barrier of the Manchurian Army and gather again, but the situation of gnawing at the defensive positions of the Manchurian Army appeared again. After the division of the Manchurian divisions, all of them quickly deployed defensive positions and firmly locked the Russian army, and the Russian army crashed into the iron plate several times, and it was impossible to converge again to form a superior force.
It was precisely because Mi Liujing had already been held in his mouth that Guo Xing'a suddenly relaxed, and in the name of observing the terrain, he went out and slipped around the horses. Humming a little song, Guo Xing'a staggered back to his headquarters, only to find that the staff officers were a little flustered, and they were more busy than when they were there.
"General, you're back!" After Tan Shaoguang left, the staff committee was temporarily headed by Xing Cong, one of the first graduates of Lu University.
"Well, what's wrong?" Goxinga had a very bad premonition.
"I just received an urgent telegram from the 7th Division, and the Russian Petrov group, about 40,000 people, who were confronting them, suddenly disappeared. The aviation reconnaissance unit is also searching for the whereabouts of the Russian troops in the department, but there are no results yet. Xing Cong didn't want to spoil the general's mood, but when something happened, he couldn't hide it.
"Can more than 40,000 people still evaporate? Is there a hole in the defense line of the 7th Division, where did the Russian army get through? "The Russian army has been surrounded to death, even if one or two Russian troops converge, it is not a big deal, and Goxinga is not in a hurry.
"This Petrov group was flanked by the 7th and 11th divisions, and in addition to besieging them, the two divisions also had to attack more than 30,000 people of the Mishanin group, and the forces were somewhat scattered, but there was absolutely no gap for tens of thousands of people to pass through." The movements of the various units were presented on the sand table of the headquarters every day, and Xing Cong and the staff officers could clearly see where each battalion was, and he did not believe that there would be a big gap in the defensive line of the Seventh Division.
"Look for it again! Maybe they hid in that ravine, and they had 40,000 people, and they couldn't make any waves! What is the situation with the 7th and 11th Divisions now? Guo Xing's mood was greatly affected, but he was not anxious and depressed.
"The Seventh Division is closer, and part of its forces are being deployed to search for the whereabouts of the Petrov group, and the rest of the divisions are cooperating with the 11th Division to concentrate superior forces to encircle and annihilate the Mishanin group, and at present, more than half of the Russian Mishanin group has been annihilated." Xing Cong read the telegram reported by the Seventh Division to Guo Xing'a.
A sentence of concentrating superior forces suddenly woke up Guo Xing'a, a man in his dreams, he was an amateur. The phrase of concentrating superior forces was said countless times by Guo Xing'a when educating the officers, but because the Manchurian army had a great advantage in weapons and often won more with less, even Guo Xing'a himself forgot this sentence in the end. Guoxing'a, who was far ahead of the enemy in terms of troop equipment and tactical thinking, was too arrogant this time, and he made a big mistake in the encirclement and annihilation deployment of Milyutin, and his troops were simply not enough.
In this encirclement and annihilation battle, Guo Xing'a copied General Peng's tactics, but General Peng's central idea was to "concentrate superior forces and break them one by one", but Guo Xing'a ignored this important point. So in this battle, Guo Xing'a only copied a shell, but lost the essence. The various units of the Manchurian Army, like the tigers above, quickly divided the Russian army, and then all of them fell into a stalemate. The Russian troops surrounded by various departments are larger than their own size, although they have an absolute advantage in weapons, they can't gnaw it down for a while, and finally the strategic purpose has inexplicably become trapping the Russian army. Only the 7th and 11th Divisions, which suddenly lost one of the enemy's divisions, were able to concentrate superior forces and quickly launch an offensive against the Mishanin group.
"It's a mess!" Guo Xing'a figured out the cause and effect, and suddenly fell into decline, squatted on the ground and began to rub his face.
Guo Xing'a used to basically command a battle of 1,000 people, and although there were more than 10,000 people in a big battle later, it was not a stumbling battle, but the opponent was weak and pitiful, so this time can be said to be the first time he commanded a large army to fight. In a thousand-person battle, everything is in front of Guo Xing's eyes, and when he copies the classics, he is naturally more handy, and he can adjust at any time. The battle of the large army is different, Guo Xing'a can't see the battlefield full of artillery, and in front of him is a map and a sand table. With this kind of deductive command method, Guo Xing'a can't find the north at all, and he completely follows his feelings. And he is not a meticulous person, he can't take into account many details, and he can't see some subtle changes on the map.
"And bad news?" Guo Xing'a rubbed his face for a long time, but Xing Cong didn't say a word of comfort, but looked at Guo Xing'a directly, and Guo Xing'a knew that his faint trick must have other evil consequences.
"General, the Second Cavalry Division Jile Zhang'a sent a telegram, hoping to transfer the cavalry brigade in the Xing'an Mountains valley or on the south bank of the Jingqili River to him, the Russian army's counterattack against him is very fierce, he lacks heavy weapons, and he is a little unbearable." Xing Cong told Guo Xing'a about the last bad news, and he himself had been thinking about it for a long time just now, but it was still a little difficult to decide.
"The cavalry brigade in the Xing'an Mountains valley can't move, if they do, if the Russian army breaks through and flees directly to the north, Bi Yuntao's back road will be really dangerous. The cavalry brigade on the south bank of the Jingqili River is to prevent the Russian army from crossing the Yangtze River after breaking through the encirclement, and it can't move! "Because the railway in the Outer Khing'an Mountains is not open, Bi Yuntao's first army group is supplied by sea, and Mi Liujing passing behind him before has little impact, but if the Russian army is allowed to cover the past from behind Bi Yuntao, the consequences will be different. Guoxinga put the Russian army into the Outer Northeast Plain in order not to affect Bi Yuntao's Northern Expedition.
"The enemy in front of the Second Cavalry Division is the Central Group of the Russian Army, where Milyutin is located, with a total strength of nearly 70,000 troops, and the lack of heavy weapons on the side of Gilzhanga is indeed very difficult." Xing Cong also understands Guoxing's truth, but regardless of Ji Lezhang'a, he can't bear it.
"Tear it down and start over! We're going to have to redeploy! "If you make a mistake, you can't tell what will happen, and Guo Xing'a can only redeploy the battle situation from scratch.
