Laiwu and its villages and towns will be the main battlefield for Xu Lie to face Nie Shicheng's troops. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info and Laiwu are also the places where Xu Lie's Mengshan army must take after this battle.

Laiwu, the original time and space, is a famous steel city, a city of coal and iron. It has 430 million tons of proven coal reserves, which is an important coal base in Shandong, and 460 million tons of proven iron ore, which is the largest in East China. In addition, Laiwu also has copper, gold, granite, limestone, dolomite, rare earth, diabase, basalt, natural quartz sand, mineral water and other minerals with industrial mining value.

Perhaps, the unscrupulous descendants of the Dragon Kingdom left Xu Lie in the calf village, and subconsciously calculated Laiwu's resources within the scope of Xu Lie's start.

When he arrived in Laiwu, Xu Lie set up his headquarters in a valley, and immediately sent a reconnaissance battalion to reconnoiter and map around, which naturally included the content of reconnaissance in Laiwu City.

Xu Lie himself also took Ren Hang, the commander of the first regiment, Yan Qiubai, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Lou Ming, the commander of the guard battalion, and others to inspect the mountains and valleys within 100 miles north of the Rhine.

The main point of the external battle is not to allow the Qing army to enter Laiwu City.

If Nie Shicheng was allowed to enter Laiwu City, Xu Lie's tactics of dragging down and dragging down would be difficult to implement. No matter how big a Rhine city is, it is no problem to find food for tens of thousands of people to live for half a month or a month. If Nie Shicheng was allowed to obtain such conditions, this battle would be difficult to fight, not to mention how much trouble the Qing army would cause to the Mengshan army if they held on to the Rhine City.

The military and war history of the Dragon Kingdom likes to talk about tactics, such as the content of Sun Tzu's Art of War, such as the relish of winning more with less, which is understandable, and it is indeed part of the excellent culture of the Dragon Kingdom. But at the same time, it is undeniable that Thailand destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Zhu Yuanzhang swept the world, and there seem to be few wars or battles worth writing about, because there is a saying that is also true, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will not play a role!

Xu Lie's later generations were special forces, and he was also a branch of the military that emphasized technology and tactics. However, Xu Lie also saw from his own experience that most of the countries with the most powerful special forces in the world are countries with strong technology and experience, and the equipment of the soldiers of those countries far exceeds the equipment of the special forces of the Dragon Kingdom. And the combat power of the special forces of developed countries is generally higher than that of the dragon country and other developing countries.

Of course, the special forces of the Dragon Kingdom are not bad, but it can only be said that among the top ten special forces in the world, the special forces of the Dragon Kingdom are in the bottom five of the top ten.

The Dragon Kingdom Special Forces participate in the Global Special Forces Competition, and there are times when they win the championship. Just like in the track and field competition of the Olympic Games, there may be a certain event that can win the championship, but the overall strength is still stronger than others. Even when the Dragon Country won the championship, foreign teams may not pay much attention to it. Because the international special forces competition is also graded. The level is low, and some countries will not send troops to participate. Perhaps, relatively speaking, the Dragon Kingdom is more focused on participation and honor.

In the mountains and rivers north of Laiwu, Xu Lie was observing the terrain on both sides of the official road with the eyes of special forces, where is suitable for blocking, where is suitable for ambush, where is suitable for surprise attack, where is suitable for sneak attack, where the enemy may put baggage, where can be blasted, which bridges can be blown up first, and which bridges will be blown up when the Qing army comes, etc.

This is the tactic of the leading era, and in the face of the troops with such tactics, it will be even more difficult for the Qing army to win this battle.

Laiwu terrain is mountainous, 67% of the total area of the mountain site, 19% of the hills, the two together account for 86% of the total area, according to the original time and space geological data, there are 2989 large and small mountains in Laiwu, including 41 above 600 meters above sea level, 227 above sea level of 200 to 600 meters, the north is the remaining vein of Mount Tai, there are Sanping Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain to the west, the south is Culai Mountain, there are Lotus Mountain, Dabaoding Mountain and so on from west to east.

These large and small peaks, mountains, is a good battlefield to block the Qing army, don't think that these mountains are small, not good battlefield, the famous Meng Lianggu, its altitude is only 575 meters high.

The fracture valleys and ravines between the hills and the tops of the mountains are extremely complex, and the terrain is relatively more suitable for small troops. If it is a large army of tens of thousands of people and there is no modern means of communication, it is very likely to get lost.

Because Xu Lie's Mengshan army had a short itinerary and fast speed, and Nie Shicheng had to wait for Yuan Shikai's new army and Dong Fuxiang's Gan army in Jinan, Xu Lie reconnoitred in the area north of Laiwu for seven days, and Nie Shicheng's forward battalion was late.

The forward battalion is a real battalion, a 500-strong Wu Yi Army.

"Report to the commander, the enemy's forward battalion is about half a day's journey from the main force, I suggest eating it!" After synthesizing all the information, Dunin made an operational report.

"What about the captives?" Eating a battalion of the enemy, Xu Lie has no opinion. Wu Yijun is also a very effective unit of the Qing army, and its soldiers are also a good source of soldiers, but it is really troublesome to catch too many prisoners, which is also the reason why Xu Lie is quite unhappy.

"Commander, I have a suggestion." Reconnaissance battalion commander Yan Qiubai interjected. Yan Qiubai, Yan Qiutang's brother, Xu Lie reused Yan Qiubai, both because of his own strong ability, but also because of Yan Qiutang's face. It can also be said that Xu Lie's reuse of Yan Qiubai shows that he agreed to the engagement relationship with Yan Qiutang.

"Qiubai, what do you think?" As a descendant, Xu Lie likes to solicit opinions before making a decision.

"The commander is worried that we don't have the manpower to go to the prisoners, right?" Yan Qiubai asked rhetorically.

"yes, you have a way?" Xu Lie was a little excited, Nima, if this matter can be solved, then this battle will be promising.

"Commander, there is indeed a way, there are a lot of bandit forces in this Laiwu, I think the commander can send someone to ask these bandit forces to help, let them take care of the prisoners, and then escort these prisoners away after our battle is over!"

Hearing Yan Qiubai say this, Xu Lie was overjoyed: "I'm afraid the bandits are not so easy to talk to, besides, we used to suppress bandits in Mengyin, and we also offended them." ”

"Commander, you don't know anything about this. Bandits are not so good to talk to, but it depends on whom. If the commander begged them to do something trivial, those bandits would definitely not be able to ask for it, because they still expected the commander to let them go in the future. Yan Qiubai said.

"If that's the case, the prisoners we capture will be handled by your reconnaissance battalion, do you have the confidence to complete the mission?" Xu Lie asked.

"Yes!" Yan Qiubai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zheng Qiang replied in unison.
