Chapter 249: All Confident (Medium)
Unlike the fearful hearts of the former Kuomintang officers, most of the officers of the Sichuan Army only looked solemn and were a little surprised by Beiyang's largesse, and even some officers even showed a high-spirited fighting spirit in their eyes. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
What is a Warrior?
The arrogant soldiers need to be fed through hearty military victories, and today's Sichuan officers and soldiers have such a taste.
Along the way, the Sichuan army has fought the Yunnan army, defeated the Guizhou army, destroyed the Hubei army, defeated the Beiyang army, swept the Kuomintang army, defeated the Anglo-Japanese coalition army, and a series of brilliant and dazzling achievements, so that the words and deeds of the Sichuan officers and soldiers naturally have the flavor of arrogant soldiers.
Seeing that the officers of the Sichuan Army below were not deterred by the reaction of the 100,000 troops of the Beiyang Army, Wang Mo was still quite satisfied. He knows very well that for the army, arrogant generals are ten or a hundred times better than cowardly soft eggs.
As for the cowardice of those former KMT officers before fighting, Wang Mo didn't care too much. First, the troops under the command of these former KMT officers were fully controlled by him in various ways such as mixing sand and large-scale adjustment of officers during the rotation training period, and they couldn't make any waves; Second, in this all-out decisive battle with the Beiyang Army, the real main force of the side is still the Sichuan Army, and the rest of the troops are only auxiliary forces that do not play a decisive role in the battle situation.
After everyone calmed down, Zhang Xiaohuai continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, because of the strong support of foreigners from all over the world, the weapons of all departments of the Beiyang Army are now unprecedentedly powerful. According to our information, the Orientals sold a large number of guns with a caliber of 60mm or more, and the Beiyang also purchased a huge number of light and heavy machine guns from foreign arms dealers from various countries. Therefore, the firepower of the various units of the Beiyang Army is absolutely unprecedented. In addition, foreigners from various countries also sold hundreds of various planes to Beiyang, and provided experienced foreign pilots as mercenaries to form the Black Hawk Flying Group of the Beiyang Army. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the officers below were suddenly silent, and even the officers of the Sichuan Army looked extremely solemn.
Regarding the sudden increase in the strength of the Beiyang Army, Wang Mo was neither worried nor excited about facing powerful opponents, but only disgusted and deeply hated those colonial powers.
The greed, shamelessness and hypocrisy of these colonizers, who claim to be "civilized world" and talk about "human rights" and "humanitarianism" all the time, are truly disgusting.
Zhang Xiaohuai didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction to the sudden increase in the strength of the Beiyang Army, grabbed a long baton with his right hand and nodded heavily at several locations on the map, and said: "According to the deduction of our General Staff Office, the Beiyang Army is likely to be divided into three ways in this battle, this-this-this-"
Soldiers divided into three ways?
Without waiting for everyone to react, Zhang Xiaohuai's voice sounded again: "West Road, the Beiyang Army should go all the way south along the Jinghan Railway, trying to break through Wusheng Pass, and then go straight to Sichuan!" Speaking of this, the baton in Zhang Xiaohuai's hand slashed on the map from the location of Hubei, and finally fell on the location of Sichuan.
"What? Will the Beiyang Army march into Sichuan? ”
"The turtle son's dare to fight Sichuan's idea, and his grandmother's is looking for death!"
"Come on, let these turtle grandchildren rush to Sichuan to see that Lao Tzu will not destroy his dog's day!"
......
When it came to Sichuan, some officers of the Sichuan Army immediately scolded with emotion, without the slightest scruple that this was the highest-level military intelligence meeting.
Wang Haoshan also slapped the table and scolded: "He is an immortal, is Yuan Shikai going to copy our Sichuan army's nest?" ”
If the deployment of the Beiyang Army is really like this, I have to say that this hand is still very vicious.
Everyone knows that the troops under the autonomous government of the Southern United Province can really compete with the Beiyang Army and the only one who is the Wang family's Sichuan Army. Once Sichuan is captured by the Beiyang Army, the morale of the Sichuan Army will inevitably be turbulent, and the chances of victory of the Beiyang Army will naturally increase.
Zhang Li, the commander of the third division of the Sichuan Army, looked at Wang Mo's expression and suggested worriedly: "Young marshal, at present, there are only three newly formed Hubei divisions in Hubei, and their combat effectiveness has not been tested in actual combat. ”
When everyone heard this, especially the officers of the Sichuan Army, their eyes focused on Wang Mo.
"Okay, I've got my own arrangements." Wang Mo replied lightly, and then said to Zhang Xiaohuai, "Brother Runnong, you continue." ”
Seeing Wang Mo's calm expression, everyone was relieved, as long as Wang Mo's heart was not messy, they were naturally full of confidence.
The baton in Zhang Xiaohuai's hand was a little heavier towards the location of Shandong on the map, and said: "On the east road, the Beiyang Army should gather heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with the three divisions of our army that are currently repairing in Shandong. Their purpose is either to concentrate their forces first to eliminate our army's partial division in Shandong, or just to block and blockade our army from a surprise attack from Shandong and thus threaten the security of Gyeonggi! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, this analysis and deduction is not difficult to understand, you must know that the first division of the Sichuan Army and the two divisions of Yimeng are extremely powerful troops, and it is impossible for the Beiyang Army not to see this major threat.
"In the middle of the road, most of the Beiyang Army will go straight to my Nanjing along the Jingpu line!" The baton was drawn along the map along the Beijing-Pudong Railway, and finally fell on the location of Nanjing, Zhang Xiaohuai thought about it, and added, "As for which road is the main direction of attack of the Beiyang Army, because there is not enough intelligence support, it is still unknown." ”
After Zhang Xiaohuai finished the introduction of the military intelligence exercise, he returned to his seat and sat down without saying anything.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Mo got up and walked up, facing everyone, and said in a loud and powerful voice: "Everyone, there is no doubt that Yuan Shikai is going to press the old capital of Beiyang, and he is ready to fight with us." With the full support of foreigners from all over the world, they have all kinds of aircraft, artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and all kinds of fast guns. It is undeniable that the Beiyang Army, which has skyrocketed in strength today, is indeed very strong, but are they invincible? ”
"I can't see—" Wang Mo raised his hand, his voice became more and more generous and powerful, and his words revealed incomparable confidence, "Don't we have planes, artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and new fast guns?" We have, and will only be more than them, no less than them! ”
Hearing Wang Mo's loud words, the spirits of the officers and generals couldn't help but lift, and the solemn atmosphere in the conference room just now was swept away in an instant.
That's right, the Beiyang Army has the support of foreigners from all over the world, and has been greatly supplemented and strengthened in terms of weaponry, but its own side will not be inferior at all, and even surpass.
It has always been rumored that the young marshal has a secret overseas arms purchase channel in his hands. As long as there is money, the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world can be bought no matter how much they want, and it seems to be true.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt reassured, and it seemed that the Beiyang Army, whose strength had skyrocketed, was not very powerful.
"As for the 100,000 troops in Beiyang, is there only a small number of troops in our army?" Wang Mo asked loudly in a reminding manner.
Everyone counted silently in their hearts, and they were all amazed. There were four divisions of the Sichuan Army, two divisions in Yimeng, three new divisions in Hubei, one division of the former Jiangxi Army, Xiong Kewu's Division, and three provisional divisions reorganized from the former Nanjing Garrison Corps. Although except for the two divisions of the Sichuan Army and Yimeng, other units cannot be compared with the Beiyang Army in terms of combat effectiveness, but at least this force is not weaker than the 100,000 Beiyang Army.
In this comparison, the fear of the former Kuomintang officers when they first heard that the 100,000-strong army in Beiyang dissipated, and the fighting spirit of the officers of the Sichuan Army became more and more high-spirited.
"I very much agree with the military deduction and analysis just now made by the General Staff. Therefore, before the Beiyang Army had any other new moves, all units of our army made preliminary arrangements based on this deduction and analysis. Wang Mo's tone was affirmative, and he did not seem to have the slightest doubt about the accuracy of the General Staff Office's deduction and analysis.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand, unlike the cold-weapon era, hot-weapon warfare relies heavily on logistics and supply. Logistics and transportation are an important factor influencing military decision-making, especially in the early days of the Republic of China, there was no transportation network extending in all directions like later generations, and the two railway trunk lines of Jinghan and Jingpu in the country were bound to be the transportation lifelines that the Beiyang Army had to rely on.
It only takes one or two days to use rail transportation, but it takes ten days, half a month or more without rail transportation. Obviously, even if Wang Mo is in Yuan Shikai's position, he can only make the same choice.
"Next, I order!" Wang Mo Zhengse ordered.
"Smack"
With a uniform voice, everyone stood up and listened to the order.
"Chen Yifan, from now on, you will lead the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade to attack on all fronts, comprehensively reconnoiter and monitor the latest movements of the Beiyang Army, and find an opportunity to annihilate the Black Hawk Flying Group of the Beiyang Army, and be sure to firmly control the air supremacy in our hands!"
The concept of air supremacy, all over the world, currently only appears in the Blue Eagle Flying Group. In other respects, it is difficult to say, in the construction and development of the Air Force, the Blue Eagle Flying Group is definitely at the forefront of the world.
"Yes, the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade is guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chen Yifan, the captain of the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade, responded awe-inspiringly.
"The three new divisions of Hubei are unified into the Western Route Army, which is under the unified command and dispatch of Chief of Staff Zhang, and is fully responsible for the defense of the Western Front!"
"Yes...... Humble ...... I will do my best to ......"
Zhang Xiaohuai's answer was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in front of everyone.
"Xiong Kewu's Division, Nanjing's three divisions, and the third and fourth divisions of the Sichuan Army are unified into the Middle Route Army, which is under the unified jurisdiction of the commander, and builds a defense line in Jiangbei and the surrounding areas of Nanjing to resist the Beiyang Army!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Xiong Kewu and other former Kuomintang officers and Zhang Li, Ge Changchun and other Sichuan Army officers who were called hurriedly responded to the order.
However, Wang Haoshan's expression was a little strange, he had already put aside military affairs for a long time, and he did not have the ability to command a large army to fight, so he didn't understand why Wang Mo asked him to command the middle route army. But now was obviously not the time to ask, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"The 1st Division of the Sichuan Army, the 1st Division of Yimeng, and the 2nd Division are unified into the Eastern Route Army, and I personally command them!"
At this time, Wang Mo's eyes swept around the officers and generals, "Everyone, this battle is a battle of life and death, and there is no room for loss!" I also hope that you will work together to annihilate the Beiyang Army, completely sweep the decadent Beiyang Group into the garbage heap of history, and rebuild the democratic republic!
