Chapter Forty-Six: The General's Wrist
"Don't say such a thing, the old general, it's really a tormenting boy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info kid is just a weak crown scholar, with a fairly passable article to get into the eyes of His Majesty, compared to the old general, your military achievements are too far behind, I really can't afford to say that he will be in the prime minister one day. ”
Lan Tianwei is not the first person to comment on me like this, there have been many people who have either complimented me or said this kind of thing sincerely, but unlike at that time, I really feel guilty at this moment.
"Lord Zhen, don't be humble anymore! Before I am questioned by the military department or His Majesty, I will recommend you to the court. Although you are an officer, it is not impossible if you are willing to transfer to the military. I believe that you have the ability to match all the famous ministers. ”
Belch...... I seem to be inexplicably looked down upon by the old general in front of me - no, maybe not inexplicably, maybe my wisdom has been recognized by him? Well, that's a lot of great news. Even if the black cauldron of the defeat of the Ming army this time has to be carried by Blue Sky Weilai, the people he said and recommended still have a certain weight. Especially if he takes the initiative to take this black cauldron, then His Majesty the Emperor will most likely appoint someone he highly recommends for the sake of his loyalty.
But why is my heart so uncomfortable, compared to me, who is dedicated to camping, it seems that Lan Tianwei, who has been conscientious and guarding the frontier for decades, is the person who really deserves to be promoted and rewarded, right?
Lan Tianwei is not incompetent, it's just that luck is too back, and I ...... It is only a little cleverness that may be able to be calculated for a while, but it is difficult to guarantee that one day I will not make a wrong decision and ruin my reputation - my teacher has told me many times that the most important thing I need to pay attention to is not to rely too much on my own cleverness.
I can't answer Lan Tianwei's words anymore, no matter how humble I am, it is a blasphemy to the old general's determination. Since he wants to recommend me to the imperial court, and I myself want to forge ahead, then I should not make any form of prevarication at this moment, but should generously accept Lan Tianwei's kindness: "Please rest assured that the old general, the kid will not disappoint the general." As long as I am alive, I will not sit idly by and watch the Western Regions be controlled by the Soviets! Even if I use all kinds of means to be criticized, I should protect the integrity of the land of my ancestors! Die or die! ”
"Very well, I hope you remember today's vow." Lan Tianwei smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "Zishu, Your Royal Highness the Princess, get ready to break through, I will definitely guarantee the safety of the two of you!" I hope that the two of them will be able to recapture the Western Regions with their own hands and restore the glory of our China. ”
Lan Tianwei's breakthrough began by bringing together all the air warships in Ili. Ili is a fortress city, and the number of fortress defenders has always been quite large, although the number of air warships is far from that of the strategic air force formed by the Soviet Union with the strength of the country, but it is still a large force to gather them in one place.
This fleet had been hidden in the underground Gnaku by the blue sky and snow in the previous battles, and even when the battle reached the most critical moment, it was not used.
However, now, Lan Tianwei issued an order, and these ships gathered in one place and launched a near-suicidal attack.
It was crazy to organize an offensive when the Soviets were in a situation of strategic and tactical superiority, and then I quickly saw what it means to command a famous general.
This fleet was used in the battle to the east. The attack of these ships under the orders of Lan Tianwei was quite frenzied, and it was almost a prelude to a breakthrough of the whole army - I would definitely think so if I were a Soviet commander, and I can only think like this under normal circumstances.
And under the order of Lan Tianwei, this fleet really tore a small hole in the weak point of the heavy concentration area in the eastern part of the Soviet Union.
To be honest, I'm a little moved, if I can really open up a large enough space, then retreating to Dihua City is not an option. Then I was even more dazzled by the tactical maneuvers of the two armies - the Soviets did not try to close the gap, but chose to continue to intensify the offensive against Ili, as if they did not care about the fate of the Ili defenders, they only wanted the city of Ili.
However, I understand that they want the Ming army, which lacks supply and support in the entire Western Regions, to become de facto hostages of the Soviets - as long as these troops still exist, whether in Ili or Dihua, it is the same for them, and they only need to be optimistic about the railway artery from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
Encirclement and reinforcements, isn't this a tactic that PLA likes to use very much in another time and space? Perhaps the Soviets still hoped that the Ming army would flee to Dihua, because Dihua did not have as many ammunition reserves and fortifications as Ili, and the tired Ming army would be more difficult to cooperate with the possible arrival of reinforcements from the Central Plains.
But Lan Tianwei didn't seem to understand this, and continued to reinforce troops, widen the safe communication line between Ili and Dihua, and even effectively transported batches of troops to Yili.
The staff officers who had been persuaded by me and agreed with me even began to wonder if their old boss had become insane because of the huge blow.
But I saw a clue. These troops sent to Dihua by Lan Tianwei are all troops with poor mobility or not adapted to the grassland terrain......
The Soviets shifted their center of gravity even further east, and at this very moment, Lan Tianwei finally showed his fangs!
"All mechanized infantry units and mecha units, prepare to attack westward! The other troops, in accordance with Plan B, accelerated their withdrawal to Dihua City! "At the military meeting on the day the cards were revealed, I saw all sorts of wonderful expressions on the faces of the staff officers -- amazement, admiration, relief. And so on and so forth.
Lan Tianwei split his army, and the highly mobile ones broke through to the west and retreated to the Mughals according to my plan, and the others went east to Dihua.
Generally speaking, dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers, but now it has become a clever move! Originally, one of the reasons why it was not feasible to withdraw to Dihua was that Dihua was not well supplied, but if only part of the army went to Dihua, then the supply problem would no longer be so prominent in the case of strengthening Dihua's defense. At the same time, the mobile troops that penetrated the Soviet army to the Mughal to the west also got rid of the burden of being too slow to keep up with the movements of the main force, and while the troops were downsized, there was less diplomatic pressure, and if they were properly operated, these troops could even re-enter from Qinghai-Tibet or the southwest, and become the support force of the Central Plains to the Western Regions...... Such an elite division, once it arrives in the Central Plains, it has been fully corrected and supplied, coupled with the momentum of mourning soldiers, the combat effectiveness can be imagined!
