How to break through the river defense?

This is now Cai Ye has been thinking about the problem, Cai Ye and Ling Chuanqing are very different, Ling Chuanqing was born in a wolf, good at fighting tough battles, fighting field battles, but for offensive and defensive warfare, not very good, especially across the Huai River, attacking a military town like Bengbu, not to mention Ling Chuanqing, Duan Zi 'Yu' and others are good at; The overall picture is also clearer, one path does not work, and it will soon be transferred to other strategies.

Now it's like this, taking advantage of the night to force the crossing, has lost the sudden awakening, after the battle of the Weiyu Ferry, Feng Guozhang and Yuan Shikai have been vigilant, and they want to use such a strategy, it will no longer work.

All roads lead to Rome, this road is not good, then the other roads are okay, this is Cai Yi's idea, Rome! Yes, Rome!

Cai Yi thought of Rome, and his strategy suddenly shifted to the Western example, isn't there a Trojan horse in ancient Greek history, this is a typical hiding from the world!

That's right, hide from the world!

Now how can the tracks be well hidden, and the forcible landing on the south bank through camouflage, how to disguise, will not attract the attention of the Qing army!

But how did you hide it from the Qing army? That's a tricky thing!

Cai Yi invited the two division commanders, Lin Xiao and Guan Yang, to discuss together and see how to hide from the opponent.

The three of them struggled with their brains, but there was still no good way, Lin Xiao patted his head and shouted: "Damn, it's a big deal, let's cross the river in white clothes too, I don't believe it, Feng Guozhang is so difficult to deal with!" ”

Guan Yang shook his head and said: "No, I heard that Yuan Shikai has already arrived on the other side, so you crossed the river in white and went back for decades, you can still try, now?" Definitely not, don't you want to think about it, now in the Huaihe War, which family dares to mourn on the battlefield in Huai'an? It's not realistic at all, and you can't hide it from people at all! ”

Cai Ye suddenly had a light in his eyes, and said: "Since it is not possible to cross the river in white, then we will pretend to be a tiger and a tiger, let's pretend to be a Western warship and drive into the Huai River, anyway, the Qing army does not dare to inspect the merchant ships, let alone rashly do anything to the Western ships, as long as we can get a few large Western merchant ships, which are full of weapons, and suddenly approach the defense line of Huai'an, I think, there is a great possibility to break through the defense line of the Qing army, at least be able to break into a wedge!" ”

Lin Xiao and Guan Yang's eyes lit up, what a good idea, this trick may really work.

Cai Yi's eyes immediately darkened, and said: "It's just that in this case, we may have to face the questioning of the great powers, and we will have some trouble in foreign 'relations', and this method needs to be discussed with the chief minister!" ”

Soon, Xu Huaijin in Beijing received a telegram from Cai Ye.

Xu Huaijin held the telegram sent by Cai Yi in his hand, and a smile appeared on his tired face, this Cai Songpo has a lot of ideas, not to mention whether it can be done, at least, this method is one after another, if it is not for the luck of not being good enough, I was only afraid of the surprise attack last time, and the situation has already been opened.

The Weiyu ferry port did not succeed, and this time's strategy, well, at least eighty percent of the chance of success!

It is not possible to just use the merchant ships or warships of the great powers without the consent of the Western countries, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!

In the first year of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan once hoisted the British flag in an attempt to hide from the world, because of the alliance between the two countries, Britain secretly helped each other to work, our Republic of China, it is not impossible to move such a thought, but this merchant ship has to fall on the head of Germany, and other countries will definitely not accept such a thing.

Well, moreover, the volume of merchant ships should not be too large, after all, the Huai River is not like the Yangtze River, and too large merchant ships and warships cannot enter; At the same time, the number should not be too small, there are fewer ships, it is impossible to transport hundreds of people, even if it reaches the opposite shore, it is difficult to succeed, if a lot of German merchant ships are called at once, it is not a difficult thing, after all, this is a war between the two countries!

Xu Huaijin carefully conceived the 'operability' of the plan in his heart, and said: "Call Cai Songpo back, the plan can be implemented, but it needs to be agreed by the Germans before it can be implemented, and the chancellor and I will communicate secretly with the German minister, hoping to reach an agreement to facilitate this matter!" ”

After Xu Huaijin finished speaking, he continued: "Zhang Ting, call the Prime Minister's Office immediately and ask the Prime Minister to come over!" In addition, you go to the German Legation in person, ask Mr. Andrew to come over for a talk, remember, pay attention to confidentiality, and don't let people find out about the trip! ”

Now Xu Huaijin has been living in the General Staff for more than ten days, day and night, and he has no time to leave for a moment during the war.

Now Zhang Yi is not in the country, Xu Huaijin is presiding over the domestic war alone, the pressure is huge, it can be imagined, and this is an offensive war, not a defensive war, it is even more difficult to fight, and the heavy affairs make Xu Huaijin really a little breathless, after all, the strength of the Republic of China has not yet reached the point where it can withstand all losses, once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable!

Soon, Tang Shaoyi came to the General Staff.

Tang Shaoyi entered the room and was startled when she saw Xu Huaijin, compared with ten days ago, the current Xu Huaijin is simply a different person, at least twenty or thirty pounds thin, with a full beard and bloodshot eyes.

Tang Shaoyi shouted at that time: "Huai Jin, I haven't seen each other for a few days, why have you lost weight like this!" ”

Xu Huaijin smiled bitterly: "Okay, Brother Shaochuan, let's not talk about these things first, we have important things to discuss!" ”

Tang Shaoyi said angrily: "What is there to talk about, if you continue like this, your body will not completely collapse?" You are the pillar of our Republic of China, if something goes wrong with your body, you can't come back, and our Republic of China won't have a big 'mess', you are confused! No, you have to 'hand' something to someone else, or I'll send a telegram to Kenyuki to hurry up and return home!" If something goes wrong with you, he won't eat me when Kenyuki comes back. ”

Xu Huaijin smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I know......"

Just halfway through speaking, Duan Qirui walked in from outside, saw Tang Shaoyi, and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, when did you come over?" ”

Tang Shaoyi said angrily: "Zhiquan, let me ask you, you just watched Huai Jin suffer like this? See for yourself, is he still presentable? Don't you know how distressed? ”

Hearing Tang Shaoyi's angry reprimand, Duan Qirui's tears almost fell out, and he choked up: "Prime Minister, I really can't complain about this matter, but there are some things that only the chief can decide, and we are only shallow, originally Songpo is extremely capable and is a good helper, and he has been transferred to the front line again, so he can only work the chief ......."
