Chapter 502 Speed

Compared with a few years ago, Dai Yun, who was originally the best at chaotic warfare, is now slowly getting used to this method. With sufficient military strength and a certain amount of supplies, adapting to the situation and not being confined to the plan, it is the best way to show the demeanor of a famous general, but with the strength of Dongping, gradually, everyone found that the space for a famous general is getting smaller and smaller. Dongping does not need such famous generals, what is needed is a senior officer who can fully consider all aspects of the battlefield. This is because Dongping's current combat methods are becoming more and more complex, and the requirements for logistics and supply are getting higher and higher. Without a detailed pre-battle plan, the generals may be able to fight well, but it is more likely that they will not be able to fight continuously for a long time.

Of course, in a position like Dai Yun, she only needs a directional idea, and the detailed plan naturally has a large staff team to plan and perfect. The staff team under the commander-in-chief includes generals who are old in combat and have rich experience in actual combat, as well as young officers who are profound in the art of war and have studied in the general staff. In the areas that Yunzhou has already occupied and various consolidation measures and construction work have been carried out, there is no room for mistakes, but in foreign warfare, they focus on the annihilation of the enemy's main forces, and are not so enthusiastic about occupying and expanding their territory. In fact, now all the armies in Yunzhou are worried that the place is too big and the expansion is too fast, and the speed of the first-level troops such as the formation and training of the garrison battalion cannot keep up, but the local garrison work cannot be handed over to the main battalion to do, which will definitely wear down the combat will of the main battalion; At the same time, it is impossible to hand over such work to the private soldiers of the local gentry to assist in the execution, even if these people are enlightened and fair, otherwise, in the long run, it will definitely threaten the rule of the Northern Xinjiang Jingluo Prefecture over the local area. One hundred battalions, a garrison battalion of about 300,000 people, and about 200,000 other main battle battalions, is already the limit of what the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy can now supply without overdrawing any other potential and maintaining financial health.

Dai Yun's core of the Xiling operation this time has a strong sense of rotational combat training, because the main battle battalions are gathered on the eastern front, and it is more troublesome to transfer to the eastern front, but the new and old garrison battalions together are sufficient, although there are some adventures and cannot easily carry out large-intensity operations, but in the case of full reconnaissance, organizing surprise raids and sabotage operations can allow all garrison battalions to experience what the battle is like.

The core of Dai Yun's battle this time is to be fast, relying on the speed of the whole army to destroy all the resistance that the other side may organize. Although the garrison battalion is weaker than the main battalion in various equipment, one thing is the same, that is, the whole army can fight on horse. There is no infantry in Yunzhou in the pure sense of the word, and this is known all over the world. In Yunzhou, it is normal to get a horse and raise a horse, even if you are not a soldier, ordinary people will have horses at home. This makes Dai Yun very calm in deploying this kind of raid operation. The troops mobilized by Xiling were a mixture of cavalry and infantry, with the cavalry slightly behind in the forward configuration, and the infantry forming defensive formations, which were deployed in several towns. And even if Xiling's infantry can ride horses, they can't organize so many horses for a while, which is not something that can be changed in a short time. After the first blow knocks out the opponent's cavalry, you can use your speed to eat away at the opponent. No matter what kind of defense line the other party organizes and how large, Dai Yun's plan is to never attack head-on, but to attract surveillance head-on, quickly mobilize the surrounding friendly forces to outflank the rear road, and then encircle and annihilate it. If necessary, you can even call on airship troops to bomb support.

This large-scale raid will dispatch 50 garrison battalions, plus 20,000 tribal cavalry on the Benwolf Plain, as well as 5,000 Dai family soldiers in Tianling Fort, 1,700 recruits from the guard battalion in Yejiabao, and 440 recruits from the special battalion, compared to the 270,000 troops in the entire combat area, Xiling has a total of 270,000 troops, the number is much less, but the combat effectiveness is much higher than the other party. In this operation, because the requirements for communication and command were very high, Dai Yun came up with a plan that required the mobilization of at least 150 airships to participate in the operation. The staff officers of the High Command listed the plan for the mobilization of these airships, and the airships originally belonging to the army could be transferred from 82 airships, in addition to the minimum of 20 or so necessary for reconnaissance and communications on the Eastern Front. There are 20 snow owl airships that are being tested, and after the test is completed, they will mainly be delivered to the military and Danyang in Jingluofu. The Intercom has always kept a margin for small communication airships, and it is not a problem to ask them to borrow twenty airships. Yip's Workshop itself has a team to test airships, and seconding ten to twenty airships is a trivial matter. The two major express delivery companies now have airship delivery business, and with the relationship between the military and them, let them establish a special airship line for communication delivery, and seconding ten airships that do not participate in the operation is just a matter of opening their mouths. For the other gaps, you have to ask the Danyang side, but for a month and a half before and after the secondment, continuous high-intensity operations, in this era when there are no effective air defense weapons in the whole world, presumably Tan Xiaopei and others will also be happy to carry out rare high-intensity drills with their airship team.

Most of the operational plans this time were about supply and communications, and they did not involve much in terms of operations. But after Ye Tao scanned it carefully, he immediately asked, "Yun'er, this plan will definitely not work." The difference between a garrison battalion and a main battle battalion is not only in the combat strength of each battalion, but also in the selection of operational commanders and commanders. Most of the battalions in the garrison battalion are experts in administrative management, or they are square but good at dealing with them, and most of those who are brave and good at fighting are in the main battle camp. And the commander is like this, and so is the sergeant below, what if it comes to combat and lack of tactical command ability? ”

Dai Yun was stunned, she really didn't expect this question. Instead, Tan Weixin smiled on the side and said, "It's simple, put down all these staff officers who have made plans." Then, Sister Yun, you will work harder, arrange a special airship, and fly wherever you are needed. Anyway, we don't have any factions in the army here, so wherever we go, we won't have the problem of not obeying commands, right? ”

Dai Yun nodded again and again: "Well, that's it." Then she turned to Ye Tao and asked, "Now like this, what do you see?" ”

Ye Tao sighed and said, "That's it." …… We've only been together for a few days, and we're going to split up again. Ye Tao naturally made sense when he said this. When it comes to tactical command, Dai Yun is much stronger than him, so naturally let Dai Yun be in charge of tactical command. But at the same time, the confrontation between the West Road and Northern Liao, as well as a series of intelligence, the command and dispatch of secret spies, someone must be in charge, don't look at Yejiabao is only two days away from Zhongjun Town, and a round trip is four days, for some urgent matters, this time is very fatal. Ye Tao had to return to Zhongjun Town to sit in town.

Dai Yun smiled, she was originally a very sassy woman, and as a mother, this has not changed. "It's only been a few months, and it won't be far from another battle on the West Road. After that, we'll all be idle for at least two to three years, right? You also promised to take the children to Yazhou to play, but don't forget. ”

Ye Tao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you destroy Beiliao, you will have a holiday, and I will let Your Majesty confirm this." Ye Tao's words made the atmosphere in the study relaxed. It's a long vacation, but it's something that many of them have been looking forward to for a long time, and besides that, there are really not many things in the world that can still attract people from the Ye family.

Tan Weixin said: "This time, I am going to follow you to Zhongjun Town." ”

Ye Tao frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"Economic planning." Tan Weixin just said these four words lightly, and Ye Tao had no choice but to sigh and reluctantly approve. Dongping's attention to him and Tan Weixin and even connivance are not unreasonable, there are many things that only the two of them can do. Ye Tao is unparalleled in engineering and manufacturing, although he knows that he is copied from later generations, but for the scrutiny of the key technologies, Dongping's development in process technology has always been on the fast track, and will not waste time and manpower and material resources. And his attitude towards learning has made him now an excellent manager and leader in Liangshandi, and even a campaign commander above the qualified level. Compared with him, Tan Weixin is more unique and irreplaceable. Over the years, whether it is Dongping, Yunzhou, Benwolfyuan or Yazhou, with those most basic contents, the plans she has handled have been constantly widening the gap between Dongping and other countries. And now, in order to allow the Northern Liao to quickly integrate into Dongping's system, and not to drag down Dongping's great cause of conquering various countries and unifying the world, it is most natural to prepare in advance.

"Bring the kids over, right?" Suddenly, Dai Yun said, "They're going to have a great time." The scenery of Northern Liao is really good. And, it's also safe and you won't have any problems. They nested in Yejiabao and the workshop, and they were all about to get sick. ”

In this regard, Ye Tao agreed very openly. Several children are very well-behaved, but after all, they grew up in this special family, of course, they will not be sick, these children's vision is far wider than the average person, and the test flights of various types of airships, they always get in it, and their footprints are all over the surrounding four or five hundred miles. But their curiosity is also unmatched, and Dai Qiuyan's calm temperament is becoming more and more unable to control their little guys. And Dai Qiuyan herself, why doesn't she want to run out to sketch and paint? When you think about it, in the months leading up to the resumption of the war, moving around in the occupied territories was a good choice for everyone.
