Chapter 443: Confident Cao Ren
Two days later, the Wuchang Strait Fleet returned to the Wuchang Strait on 27 May. book network . . c o m
"This operation was a great success! Thunder! You lead the Wuchang Strait Fleet north and immediately support the Burmese fleet. Of these ten airships, you will give five to Lu Dazhi of the Burmese fleet! That's right! After you go north, you will be in the capacity of friendly assistance, and you must listen to his unified planning and command. You know Lu Dazhi, he successfully led the fleet to complete the round-the-world voyage, and he has rich experience on the water, so his strength will not be a problem. Also, if you tell Lu Dazhi that as long as the sea area is blocked, the Amir army cannot come from the sea, then it will be a great achievement. As for the overland route, Amir had to cross the Bahcho and Rakhine Mountains to reach the Irrawaddy River basin, and Huang Zhong had a lot to do. ”
"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! By the way, Childe, there are more than 300 ships that escaped from this battle, half of which is smaller, what if they are organized again and come across the sea? "What Lei Zi is most worried about is that there is a problem in his defense area.
"It doesn't matter, isn't the old fleet still withdrawn, you can let the old fleet serve first. There will be news from the National Security Administration of the Three Dogs, and if the Allies reorganize the fleet, you can go over and kill it again. But I don't think the Allies will be able to organize a sea attack anymore. ”
Amir and Mido, both professionals, where do they not know how to use ancient wooden ships to fight modern warships, it is simply an egg to a stone.
Since these two sides already knew that they had new warships, they would definitely not dare to send their navies to fight with them.
As soon as Yang Xi said this, Lei Zi led the fleet north, while Yang Xi returned to Bangkok City, Tai County, and left Zhongnan Prefecture by train.
From Yang Xi's departure from Chenhe City to Yang Xi's return to Chenhe City by train, there are only nine days in total, which is the speed of soldiers.
This is the rapid progress in social efficiency brought about by the transformation of transportation.
The train from Bangkok City to Chenhe City is also about 4,000 kilometers, but it is only two or three days, and this is still because of the detour to Shanghai City.
Now the highway from Jiaozhou to Jingzhou and Yangzhou has been built, and the railroad tracks have been repaired for two years, and at most in another year or two, there will be rails, and it will be faster at that time.
Since the activation of the second layer of the technology tree, many problems that could not be solved by building tunnels have now been solved, and Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in Chenhe City, Sangou hurriedly came to report.
"Childe! Rest sent back the news, calculate the time, the four-nation coalition army, at most five or six days, will arrive in the territory of the original Wusun country, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses and Ma Chao's soldiers and horses are divided into two parts, both are stationed in the Tianshan area, if the four countries alliance does not stop, then the two sides will engage in battle on the eighth day. As for the Northeast Black Dragon County, because they did not send people deep into the mountains of Eastern Siberia, they still did not know where the Volga Imperial military horses had gone. It must be almost there. ”
"Don't worry about the Northeast, the army of 300,000 is against 300,000, if you can still lose, then I am too sorry for the people of Chenhe Country. Now the key is the Western Regions, the territory of Wusun Kingdom is vast, Ma Chao has moved its population to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the allies cannot find supplies at all. I wonder if Ma Chao should directly abandon Chigu City, move all the grain, grass and food south again, and stretch the Allied front longer. ”
"Huh? In this way, wouldn't it be that he had already lost a small half of the territory of the Western Regions without a fight, where would Ma Chao listen? ”
"This is the best plan, but Ma Chao will definitely not listen, it is Cao Ren, this brother is the governor of the coalition army, and he has some personal heroism, he must fight, it is estimated that at this time, these two people are eager to start a war immediately, and even take the initiative to attack." Yang Xi is most worried about this, that is, the generals at this time are all arrogant and arrogant, and their personal heroism is serious.
"Alas! Wait for the end of the first battle for the time being, let Cao Ren and Ma Chao fold some sharpness first! "Yang Xi wants to command Cao Ren and Ma Chao, but he can't do it.
At this time, Tian Han came to report that Du Zuan had arrived.
Du Zuan entered the house, Yang Xi personally got up to greet him, Du Zuan was in front of Yang Xi, naturally he didn't dare to hold the big one, he only called himself a student, and Yang Xi invited him to sit.
"Zu An, your Xiling County People's Daily has done a good job. I also have a concern about the serialization of each issue of your Chenhe 10th Daily, and I am going to transfer you out of Xiling County People's Daily now, and you will come to Chenhe 10th Daily as a deputy editor-in-chief to cooperate with the editor-in-chief Cai Yan. I want you to organize a group of war correspondents to report on the war as soon as possible. Also, I have just returned from a personal expedition in Taigun, and I have brought three war correspondents with me, and they will report to you on the battle to break the Allied navy, and you will publish it in the daily newspaper Chenhe 10th. After this issue of this newspaper comes out, it will be sent to the whole country as soon as possible, and it will be sent to Xudu and Yecheng in an expedited manner of 800 miles. I want to use the first battle to lift the hearts of my people and boost their morale! ”
Du Zuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Thank you for the trust of the head of state, Zuan will spare no effort to do it!" ”
Subsequently, Yang Xi ordered three war correspondents to come up, and these three people had already washed out the photos of the naval battle, and Yang Xi asked them to select a few photos as the front page.
Although the war films were all black and white at this time, the clarity was sufficient, and it happened that there was rapid printing, and the newspaper was going to come out very quickly.
On the third day of Yang Xi's return, 100,000 copies of the newspaper came out, and Yang Xi ordered to send them out quickly.
A few days later, the newspaper was published throughout the country.
This is the first time that the whole country has seen a real photo of Yang Xi, which is a photo of standing on an airship with his finger in front of him.
The second is a scene of a mess in the port of Sri Lanka, with dozens of warships being hit by guns and catching fire at the same time.
The newspaper spread all over the country, and for a time the people were boiling and their confidence was greatly boosted.
When Cao Cao saw the newspaper, he breathed a long sigh of relief in addition to being a little sour in his heart.
At least prove that there is still hope to win this big battle.
--
In summer, the weather in the Western Regions is extremely hot during the day, but at night, the temperature drops sharply and is a little cold. The weather here is marked by dry, very dry!
The wind swept up the dust and submerged the stones on the Gobi, accumulating over time, and the isolated boulders blew out dry marks.
It is also due to the stem, with very little vegetation, scattered dwarf trees, sparse grass, and endless Gobi, which constitute this mysterious land.
Cao Ren is Liangzhou, and he hasn't been to it a few times, and he is really a little stunned by the ghost place and the ghost weather in his mouth. But Ma Chao is used to it, Liangzhou is better than here, but it is only better.
"It is said that the allied forces of the four countries arrived at Lake Balkhash, which is named by Yang Xi, yesterday, is there any latest report on their location?" Cao Ren asked Liu Ye next to him.
Liu Ye took out a white cotton mask, hung two ropes in his ears and said, "General, don't worry, the range of Wusun is huge, and it should take two or three days to arrive." The Allied army has a long front, and every few dozen kilometers it walks, it has to leave people to receive food and grass in case it is cut off, but in fact, there may only be seven or eight hundred thousand people who actually arrive. ”
Cao Ren didn't listen carefully to Liu Ye's words, but looked at his strange mask and said: "It's Yang Xi's so-called invention again, and you literati are also spineless." Also, Yang Xina's newspaper said that he wiped out 1230,000 Allied sailors and defeated the Allied sailors, is this news reliable? If that's true, I don't mind promoting it in the army to boost morale. ”
Liu Ye took out another mask, and Cao Ren took it without hesitation.
"There is no need for Yang Xi to boast about himself, his status in the Chenhe State is more stable than that of the King of Wei in the Wei State, and among his so-called people, he already exists like a god. Yes, this battle should be true. It's just that Yang Xi said earlier that there was a support army that would arrive at the battlefield in the Western Regions, but why there was no movement for a long time, which is puzzling. ”
"Humph! It's better if he doesn't come to reinforcements, King Wei said early, although the allies are numerous, but they come from afar, we just need to stabilize the situation and defend tightly, and it will inevitably retreat after a long time! In this way, this great achievement will be attributed to my Great Wei. The hearts of the people in the world have their own measure. ”
Cao Ren is a famous general, 500,000 faces 1.2 million, and he still wants to grab credit.
