606 is crazy on it
In short. Under the influence of the chain economy of the Qin State. The states of Qi and Chu remained economically independent and intact. This is for the unification of the Qin state. There are still significant obstacles.
"What does the telegram say?" Li Xin asked.
"Let's attack as soon as possible. See for yourself! Wang Ben said with a telegram.
Li Xin took the telegram and saw it.
"Is it crazy up there? We want to go on the offensive by mid-April! Li Xin said in disbelief.
"I think so too." Wang Ben said helplessly. For such an order. Wang Ben thinks the above is crazy. This came sooner than expected. It also means a lot of things to be ahead of schedule. Or unprepared participation in war. Wang Ben was a little worried about this.
Li Xin also has this concern. But what can he do. He is the concrete executor. Only obey orders. Li Xin and Wang Ben didn't know at all. The advance of the war came from the pressure of public opinion in Qin. Although the military explained this. Even experts in military doctrine were sent to support it. But negative coverage persists. The army gives any action. It's a fact. If it goes on like this. Then domestic interest and support for battlefield warfare will be reduced. In order to alleviate this contradiction. The General Staff of the Qin Army specified a series of offensive plans. to attract the attention of public opinion. The advance of the offensive schedule is part of this plan. War cannot wait any longer.
Wang Ben and Li Xin did not understand why the top management did this. But they must speed up the schedule of the entire offensive program. Due to the constraints of transportation capacity. Most of the troops are still on the way. Over time, though. More and more troops will be massed. But only 30,000 troops were able to reach the state of the war. If this time is opened to fight in the northern frontier again. Then there is a danger that the forces will be too scattered.
With that in mind. Wang Ben suggested that he should first concentrate his forces to solve the war in the Southern and Western Regions. Temporarily halt the offensive on the Northern Western Regions. Instead, focus on the limited forces to solve the problem.
This idea was supported by Li Xin. And that's the only way to do it for now. Because if you open two large military operations at the same time. Not only will it deplete the Allied reserves' material reserves at a breakneck rate. It would also bring the entire logistics to the brink of collapse. The Qin State had nearly 20,000 horse-drawn carriages to ensure military logistics supplies. Due to the absence of railways. The entire corridor was transported by horse-drawn carriage. Plus the transportation of troops and the transportation of supplies. Horse-drawn carriage transport was already overloaded.
This suggestion was agreed with by the top. The top brass no longer cares how the war is fought. It's about how to deal with the pressure of public opinion. The war intervened with a new force.
The war in the Northern Western Regions has been postponed. Then the original forces were divided into the South and West Regions. Such. The Allies had a relatively large number of troops. The infantry began to enter the defensive line. They will replace the cavalry units that had dismounted and fought. The cavalry, on the other hand, will serve as a mobile force for a short period of rest. It's March 23rd. This means that the time for war is getting closer and closer. Time was a little tight for the Allies.
Cavalry will exist as a mobile force for outflanking. And the airborne assault forces, which organized the escape of the other side, were not very prepared to charge. The Allies could throw in a maximum of one and a half regiments. About five battalions numbered about 3,000 men. This is the most optimistic figure given by Li Xin after looking at the air assault force training.
Three thousand men were to be divided into two battle groups. At the beginning of the operation, two airborne methods should be used to intervene in the battle at the same time. The Allies organized a paratrooper unit of battalion strength as quickly as possible. The unit is based on the Army Airborne Company. The 2nd Company of Paratroopers was formed. The 1st Parachute Company of the Zhao Army. Zhao Han mixed paratrooper company.
Although the Qin army had paratrooper troops. But I really don't know how to fight. But things have come to this point. It must be implemented. The advice given by Li Xin is: Paratroopers will be put into operation as the first echelon.
The desert of the South-West Regions will divide the road into two large forks. On one side of the Tien Shan Mountains, a series of cities were built by rivers formed by meltwater from the snow and ice melt on the mountains. These cities are located in the desert and in the long gorges of the Tianshan Mountains, where rivers are located. Equally. On the south side. There is also a long regional corridor on the north side of Kunlun. In the middle is a large desert.
Two companies of Qin paratroopers will be thrown into the side of the Tianshan Mountains. The rest will be put into the Kunlun Mountain side. These paratroopers will build a landing zone as fast as possible. About fifteen large airships will transport them to the landing zone. In there. They will lay out the first line of defense. Open the passage for the air assault forces behind.
The second echelon consisted of twenty large airships. The second air assault force consisting of one hundred and ten medium airships. They will follow behind the first echelon as fast as possible. After the signal is sent from the ground. Marked with three red flares. One by one, they entered the landing zone. Put troops into battle.
The third echelon was then formed for material replenishment. Then, according to the number of returned airships, the secondary force and material replenishment will be carried out according to a certain situation.
The state of Qin mobilized a lot of airships. But the area is too vast. Only a handful of airships were able to reach it. And be careful that airships are not suitable for long-distance transitions. In addition to transporting air assault forces. There was also a brigade of airship bombardment units put into operation. They didn't get into the fight at first. Rather, it was used as a killer weapon for the Allies on the day of the offensive. They will have aerial bombs to bomb the Western Regions coalition garrisons.
Other than the first time. There is also an army aviation force that goes into operation. Although there is only one squadron. Twelve new twin-engine, two-seat "Eagle" fighters. The aircraft does not have much new technology. In addition to the addition of a piston cylinder. There are hardly many new innovations. But he was a twin-engine fighter. Two engines provide it with reliable guarantees. It can effectively prevent parking in the air. There's also the fact that his overall weight has increased. This means that he can stay longer.
In terms of weapons systems. Armed with a point-50 water-cooled machine gun. The machine gun was in the hands of the backseat navigator. They will use machine guns to strafe the ground in the air. This was the first time that army aviation was put into operation. The Army has high hopes for them.
The appearance of army aviation made the Celestial Forces very uncomfortable. Although there has been coordination before. The Army can have a presence of ground offensive air units. But now the other side has put combat aircraft. Or do they think it's a huge conspiracy of the Army to control the Celestial Army. This also greatly stimulated the Celestial Army. Thereupon. The Celestial Army drew up a detailed plan for the air and air strikes of war. The advent of army aviation gave the Space Forces the impetus to move forward. They will have a much longer way to go in the field of bombing.
