2592 Bangladesh-Ran regular army
Heard Fan Zeng say this. Chen Ping also had nothing to say, he hoped that such a situation could solve such a problem.
Coastal areas of Bangladesh. The area under the actual control of the Jingmen army of the state of Chu. As they routed a group of local spontaneous formations, the Jingmen began to grow bolder, expanding their positions to several nearby villages, where they sacked them. Quite a few women were captured.
At the same time, the South Korean army also arrived, and they also got some kind of physiological need, and women were also a morale boost for them.
Many soldiers are still unfamiliar with the Mengla people, or rather, it is a strange excesses thousands of miles away, and there are also a considerable number of new recruits among the soldiers of the Korean New Army. Coming here, they are also full of romanticism, they think it is a vacation.
"The view is beautiful and the scenery is nice, it's just a little stuffy, but the land is nice. But all these good things are shattered. The Chu people, and some Korean veterans with a group of recruits like us, ransacked the Mengla village, we shot and wounded a lot of Mengla, the elderly, the women who resisted, the young men, and there were children who were less than half the size of us, the damned Chu soldiers were even more crazy, they didn't even let go of children, they threw the babies directly into the fire, which was inhumane for themselves. But there was something even more inhumane, some low-ranking officers forced us to insult Menglad women. I can't accept such a thing. A South Korean New Army private named Chen Zhi wrote in his diary.
The Korean army also quickly joined them, and for the men in these villages, they didn't kill much, because many men gave up resistance, and not only that, but many of them surrendered directly, and they quickly understood the meaning of raising their hands high, and the Chu State and the Korean officers also needed to make some money, and they didn't just come here to fight. They've been here for many days. They had long understood that there was another advantage of these Menla, slaves, good slaves, and they knew how to farm. Obedience to orders, this is good slave. They became a massive source of slaves.
Reinforcements from the Chu army also arrived, and they had reinforcements of more than 500 people. The leader was a major named Xiang Jin, and the South Korean side did not have any reinforcements, but they actively launched their own military operations. These military operations have been very useful to them.
"We need to expand the area under our control. And rebuild some docks, otherwise more and more reinforcements will not be able to dock in time. Zhang General Assembly suggested.
"It doesn't matter, we can make those damn Menlas do it, they're slaves anyway, and they're going to be sold anyway when they're used up." Xiang Jin said without cherishing it at all.
"Hmm. On the other hand, we need to establish a series of reconnaissance systems, and we need to know the attitude of the Bangla government forces, they haven't shown up until now, and we don't know what they want to do. The most important thing is that we need to know the location of their royal palace, so that we can launch an attack, and I think that we can only completely occupy the kingdom of Mengla if we take the royal palace of the Menglas. Zhang General Assembly suggested.
All the officers present were looking at Zhang Dahui, because many people knew that there was a lot of wealth in the palace.
"That's our tactical objective and our strategic objective. We are here because we need the people of Mengla to make a huge regression politically and economically, otherwise. We won't come here. Zhang Dahui explained. The Korean officers had a certain political thinking, but the officers of the Chu State would not think about it at all, and in their opinion, rushing into the palace and looting on a large scale was their ultimate goal.
"I agree, in that way, the people of Bangladesh will know that we are good, and it will be a good lesson for them, and I think it will be very interesting." Xiang Jin said very easily.
"Sir. Sir. Jingmen rushed in and shouted loudly.
"Damn it." Xiang Jin scolded. He felt that when the officer was in a meeting, he reported in a panic. It was an insult to the officers' meeting, and besides, the officers of the Chu State seemed to be very timid when they were so flustered, although what Jingmen did was not a cowardly thing, he was too flustered.
"What's the matter? Captain Jing. Zhang asked. He was a major officer in the South Korean New Army. Naturally, there is an advantage in military rank.
"The Menglas, the Menglas regular army appeared. There were about 10,000 of them, quite a few of them, and, many of them had weapons, and in them we found artillery. and muskets. It seems that it should be an elite unit. Jingmen reported.
Xiang Jin heard this and looked at Zhang Dada, who was relatively calm. However, he was still a little shocked by such a news, because he really didn't expect that the other party would have elite troops appear, and this was the first time they had heard the news of the regular army of Bangladesh and Latin America.
"Let's take a look." Zhang General Assembly proposed.
"Okay." Xiang Jin nodded. Soon the group reached the front. Jingmen waited cautiously in the back, he knew that his commander was very dissatisfied with him, but he still felt that he was doing the right thing, the number of people coming from the Chu army was very small, and the reinforcements coming from behind did not arrange positions, but existed as reserves, but Jingmen knew what these reserves were doing, they were looking for women everywhere, playing with women, and some officers also took the lead in looking for wine. However, Jingmen's troops have been staying on the front line, so he hates these officials very much, especially his superiors.
"The regular army of the Menglas seems to be only a little more powerful than the militia." Zhang Dahui said with a telescope. In fact, the composition of the army of the Menlas was such that they had only a small part of the regular army, which was the private armies of the royal army and the minor nobles. In large-scale battles, they would issue weapons to civilians and slaves, allowing them to act as numerical superiority, but they did not play a big role. Fighting a war is probably what they want to collapse the most. But that's it, the Menla's mode of warfare is still the same, their army seems to be outnumbered, but its combat effectiveness is very limited.
"They have a lot of them. This is very troublesome for us to compare. We don't have a lot of artillery. It's a big problem for us. Xiang Jin said more rationally.
"These problems are not very big, we have dismantled the guns on the warship. Temporarily acting as infantry artillery, I think it will be difficult for them to attack under the first round of artillery fire. Zhang said.
"I think we should launch a night attack, maybe we can destroy them at the first time, at least set them on fire, and it should be." Xiang Jin came up with his own tactics. The personal bravery of the Chu army is a lot, but this requires elite troops, but Xiang Jiajun has such bravery.
"Okay, but our South Korean army doesn't agree with this, I think it's better to attack directly, we like to fight face-to-face, they are regular troops, there should be a regular army to fight." Zhang Dahui said. There is a fundamental difference between the Chu army and the South Korean New Army, the Chu State Army is gradually transformed from the old army, and there are still some tactics and practices of the old army among them, while the South Korean New Army is a comprehensive copy of the Qin Army, although the Qin Army has already changed its infantry discipline. But South Korea's new army still rigidly demands it. They look more rigid and dogmatic.
The Menglas also did not attack, their army dragged its feet. It is difficult to complete a formal assembly in the first place. They need to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and at the same time they need to rest. The state of war entered a kind of pre-war preparation.
Jiaozhou, Qingcheng.
"The current road conditions are still the main obstacle to the development of our Qingcheng." A planner said to Zhang Qing.
"We've built a few roads to alleviate the problem, but fundamentally, we still need a lot of railways to get it done, because horse-drawn carts and ox carts can't meet our needs." The planner said.
"Hmm. Your question is very good, more and more Jiaozhou people come to Qingcheng, but the shipyard in Qingcheng has a saturation trend, I think, the next step, the main goal of Qingcheng is to build railways and roads, the current construction of railways is not very suitable, first, we need a lot of financial support, this part, the South Korean government has found a way to solve. On the other hand, we need a lot of labor, and the weather doesn't allow it, so we have to build roads first, and then build a lot of railways. Strive to create a miracle within a year. In this way, the development of Qingcheng has greater potential, otherwise, our situation will be very bad. Zhang Qing said.
For the next step of Qingcheng's development, Zhang Qing's idea is very simple, which is to open up the transportation links between Qingcheng and the inland. In particular, the connection of railways, Qingcheng's role as a seaport is being shown, but the reduction of inland transportation capacity is really a kind of restriction on the development of Qingcheng, which is very unfavorable to Qingcheng, and the first problem that Zhang Qing has to solve is such a problem.
However, Zhang Qing also has to face a bigger problem, that is, the source of funds for the railway, he does not have sufficient funds to complete the construction of the railway, however, Zhang Qing is not worried about this, because the economic value of the railway is very high, they occupy an absolute advantage, such an advantage will attract more investment, which is very beneficial to him.
