Yuqing took the polished and rounded branches handed by the guards, pointed to the map and said: "Tianyu County in the east is the most cutting-edge, or is it garrisoned by Chang Heng's forbidden army corps, I would rather the main force of the empire be stationed on its southeastern border, the number is about 100,000, and their northeast fifty miles is a group army of the Yuanhe Empire and the Wanliu Empire, with about 150,000 people, and more than a hundred airships to coordinate defense." Rizhao County and Wei County in the north of Dongzhou are defended by Tang Jian, which is the main battlefield, the main forces of the two sides face off on the border, the number is about 300,000, and the opposing air force has more than 200 airships, which are composed of the air force of the Wanliu Empire and the Liusang Empire, and our side has less than 100 airships, which is barely supported. The day before yesterday, he received an order that the Wuxing Empire was likely to have joined the alliance of the Wanliu Empire, and Shi Ping led a force of 50,000 people to rush to the Yongchang County and Tianwu County in Beizhou to garrison. ”

Yuan Fang frowned and said, "Fifty thousand, is it a little less?" After all, he was dealing with an empire. ”

Yuqing shook her head and said: "There is a canyon between Yongchang County and Tianwu County, and the rest of the place is full of lofty mountains, and the Wuxing Empire wants to invade only Nati Road, as long as Shiping guards the canyon, with natural danger, the Wuxing Empire will not be able to come even if it has more troops." By the way, after Xueqin arrived yesterday, I transferred two fighter teams to support Shi Ping, and I believe that with them, they should be able to intercept the air force that the other side may have. In addition, Tang Jian also allocated 50 artillery pieces to Shi Ping, including 30 anti-aircraft guns and 20 large-caliber howitzers, with these weapons, it would be a bit too much for him to say if he couldn't hold the position, besides, Beizhou itself still has almost 20,000 garrisons. ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "How many artillery pieces does the army have now?" ”

Yuqing thought for a while and said: "Tang Jian came here a few days ago, and I heard him say that there seem to be more than 200 gates, and he is full of confidence now, but he is a little worried about whether the air force can seize air supremacy." Yuqing smiled bitterly and said: "During this period of time, the air force of Wanliu has been constantly fighting, there is loss every day, and it is very large, the airship of the Wanliu Empire is replenished very quickly, if we don't use fighter jets, we can hold out for about five to seven days at most, and there will be not enough airships to resist their impact, I think, they are probably fighting with us to fight for production speed." ”

Yuan Fang took a deep breath and asked, "How many fighters are there here now?" ”

Yuqing replied like a few family treasures: "Counting the fifty fighters brought by Xueqin, there are a total of seventy fighters in Dongzhou, and there are only two hundred small boats, and there are quite a few ordinary airships, about three hundred, but most of the airships have been separated from the combat establishment and have been assigned by me to logistics to transport supplies." However, I have kept fifty slightly larger ones, and when we defeat the opponent's air force, we can use them to transport a force of about 10,000 men to the enemy's rear to harass after we take control of the air power. ”

Yuqing's work, Yuan Fang put it down, this is not unfounded, judging from Yuqing's air force layout, it is completely in line with Yuan Fang's intentions, defending and counterattacking, this is a tacit understanding, not a tacit understanding for outsiders.

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "I have another good news, Da Mei gathered all the blacksmiths of the Chamber of Commerce some time ago to produce artillery, before she came, she told me that almost a hundred artillery pieces have been manufactured, and there are ten fighter jets, and these artillery and fighter jets still have enough ammunition and will arrive in about two days." ”

With a sigh of relief, Yuan Fang said in high spirits: "It's time for a decisive battle." ”

Yuqing's eyes lit up: "It's finally going to start, brother-in-law, the Air Force is fighting too hard these days, although they haven't complained, but I know that everyone is holding back the fire." ”

It's really unpleasant to have a powerful weapon but can't use it, but this is almost over, and both Yuqing and others are a little excited. Yuan Fang asked: "By the way, the pilots and gunners of the fighters are enough, right?" Yuan Fang was very worried about this, if the fighter arrived, but there were not enough people to pilot, it would be a big joke.

Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't worry, I have already started training, the pilots of the fighter jets are all selected by me from the best pilots, whether it is piloting skills or combat experience, they are the best in the Air Force, of course, maybe they can't be compared with Xueqin, but they won't be too inferior." ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "Then the air force will hand it over to you and Xueqin, and tomorrow I will go to Tang Jian's place to have a look and discuss the counteroffensive." ”

Yuqing shook her head: "I don't need you to go, I have already sent someone to inform him, it is estimated that he will be able to come over soon, this guy has been looking for me several times, and he has been asking when the war will start, and he can't wait." ”

During this time, the two sides faced off at the border, and there were battles every day, but that only belonged to the air force, and Tang Jian and his army units stayed in the camp every day and did nothing, and they didn't even have the opportunity to watch the battle, how could they not be in a hurry, especially after being equipped with powerful and terrifying artillery, the army's self-confidence skyrocketed, and they couldn't wait to kill the enemy immediately and give the enemy some color.

As expected, not long after dinner that day, Tang Jian, Chang Xun and Chen Xin arrived, and as soon as they met, without saying a word, the three old guys asked Yuan Fang if he was going to war, Yuan Fang smiled bitterly, these guys are more belligerent than the other.

That night, the polish light of the headquarters was always on, Yuan Fang, Yuqing, Xueqin, Tang Jian, Chang Xun and Chen Xin discussed it all night, in fact, it was not a discussion, these people were all veteran drivers who had led the troops for many years, how rich their experience was, they knew the strategic intentions of the empire before, they had already thought of the battle plan, and they had discussed it privately for a long time, the plan had been quite perfect and mature, this time it was to relay their plan to Yuan Fang, the nominal commander-in-chief, the generalissimo.

Tang Jian's plan is quite perfect, from starting a war and attacking to gradually advancing, from material deployment to personnel supply, from hitting the firepower to attacking the fortified position to clearing the defeated troops into pieces, etc., all aspects are very thoughtful, and several supplementary plans have been formulated to deal with the rapidly changing battlefields.

Tang Jian and the three of them said endlessly, and Yuan Fang was at a loss when he heard it, anyway, he just thought that this plan was good, and no matter how much Yuan Fang said, he couldn't say why.

However, there is another prerequisite for Tang Jian's plan to be carried out smoothly, that is, the air force, it is necessary for its own side to obtain absolute air supremacy, otherwise the opponent's air force will run on their heads and bomb indiscriminately, even if their plan is perfect, it will be empty talk.
