Chapter 956: The Death of the Prairie (2)
The deployment of the offensive was finally decided by Su Tiancheng, because it was the first battle, Su Tiancheng paid great attention to it, and he had to participate in all the deployment processes, but according to the deployment of the operation, He Renlong, as the commander of the vanguard force, had the right to decide how to attack according to the deployment.
The attack needs a vanguard force, to lure the army of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar to assemble, this task is very dangerous, the sergeants of the Mongolian tribe, perennial grazing and hunting, good archery, the vanguard of the feint task, to take great risks, but Su Tiancheng demanded, can not kill the old and weak women and children, so it can only be to lure out the army of the right wing of the central banner and leave the tribe's station.
At this time, the vanguard troops to attract the large army may be in danger of annihilation, which requires the commander to have a high degree of command and calm and calm psychology, accurately grasp the opportunity, and once the task of alarming the army is completed, it must be quickly evacuated, and can not fall in love with the battle, let alone panic.
After all, the news of the Jiangning battalion's attack on the Mongolian tribes has been leaked, and Huang Taiji knows that he has told such news that he must inform the Mongolian tribes and make adequate preparations.
There was a great dispute over who would command the vanguard of a thousand men.
He Renlong, as the vanguard commander, wanted to undertake this task by himself, but Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo resolutely disagreed, they believed that in the whole campaign, He Renlong, as one of the main commanders, could not personally take risks and lure the army, He Renlong as the main commander. The task is to do a good job of coordination, and when the vanguard troops withdraw, it is very important to respond, and the accurate grasp of the response and attack time means whether it will be able to completely and cleanly strike at the army in the middle of the Chahar right flank.
He Renlong, the forward commander, is different from the forward in the general sense. Because it was fighting in the grassland, under such harsh climatic conditions, the army could not be divided into the front army and the middle army for the time being, so there was also a great suffering in terms of logistics support, so the 50,000 army was always together, and He Renlong's main task was to ensure that it was in the first offensive battle. Maintain the advantage of the initiative and lay the foundation for the next large army to destroy the army of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar.
For example, the vanguard lured the Mongol Tatars, where to arrive, how best to facilitate the attack of the artillery battalion, how to ensure that the flintlock pistols showed maximum power in close combat, and so on. All of these require He Renlong to coordinate as a whole when commanding operations. Su Tiancheng, the commander-in-chief, ordered the army to attack after He Renlong had done all the groundwork, striving to end the battle in the shortest possible time.
After the dispute unfolded, He Renlong's reasoning was also very sufficient. Because Master Su personally commanded the army and attacked with the vanguard himself, he was able to grasp the situation very well, and once it was suitable for the attack, he would send a signal. As a pioneer commander, you must complete such a task, otherwise you will lose the meaning of being a pioneer commander.
Because Su Tiancheng has been present, He Renlong is not good at forcibly giving orders, otherwise this matter would have been determined a long time ago.
Su Tiancheng looked at the arguments of the crowd, and never spoke, he had clear requirements for the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, to be able to lead the army to fight alone, to make accurate decisions at a critical time, not to completely rely on the deployment from above, to use his brains at any time, to think of achieving the greatest victory, after all these years of tempering, the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard have basically adapted to such requirements, every battle, Su Tiancheng plans the overall deployment, In terms of details, all need to be considered by the officers in charge of their respective offensive tasks.
Looking at He Renlong's anxious appearance, as well as Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's resolute demeanor, Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, this kind of thing, Qu Qingze opened his mouth to say that it is more appropriate. Su Tiancheng thought in his heart that the opinions of Liu Wenxiu and others were correct, He Renlong, as a commander, needed overall coordination, and if he rushed up with the vanguard, would it be Liu Wenxiu and others to do a good job of coordination.
Qu Qingze understood what Su Tiancheng meant, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Lord He, I won't help you speak this time, in my opinion, General Liu, General Ai and General Li's suggestions are correct, you are the vanguard commander, there are many things that need to be coordinated, at least you need to arrange, General Liu and the other three, what position should they be in, what kind of tasks are they responsible for, I remember, the adult's requirement for you is to coordinate and coordinate, if you lead the leading troops to charge, the matter of coordination, is it directly handed over to the adult."
He Renlong looked at Su Tiancheng, who did not speak, and understood the meaning, known as He Maniac, whenever the big war came, He Renlong liked to be excited, and liked to charge at the front, although he had restrained a lot over the years, but this habit was impossible to completely change, and the Jiangning battalion had rules, and when fighting and fighting, the officers needed to charge at the front.
He Renlong scratched his scalp and spoke a little unwillingly.
"What Lord Qu said is, I'm also a little worried, the task of seducting the vanguard is very important, if you don't pay attention a little, you may face huge danger, a thousand brothers are responsible for luring, there will definitely be casualties."
When He Renlong said this, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo all looked at He Renlong, they all wanted to become the commander of the vanguard, although this task is dangerous and arduous, but it involves the success or failure of this battle, such a major task, it is a very glorious thing to be able to become a commander.
He Renlong had already felt the gaze of the three of them.
If he can't lead the leading troops to lure the army of the middle banner of Chahar's right flank, then he needs to designate someone to be responsible among Liu Wenxiu and the others, and He Renlong thinks that the most suitable person is Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo's courage is not questioned, and at the same time, Li Dingguo also has extraordinary wisdom, and he will definitely be able to complete the task very well, in fact, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi can also complete such a task, but in comparison, Li Dingguo is the most suitable.
Without too much hesitation, He Renlong began to assign tasks.
"Li Dingguo led a thousand soldiers, otherwise the task of luring the army of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar, Liu Wenxiu led two thousand soldiers, responsible for receiving on the right side of the retreat of the vanguard troops, Ai Nengqi led two thousand soldiers, responsible for receiving on the left, these five thousand soldiers are responsible for the task of luring, the army of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar must be prepared, and the initial attack is also very careful, and will not carry out a large-scale attack. Their mentality will change, and they will want to destroy us, and only in this way will the Mongol Tartars be able to fully enter our ambush circle, so your duties are equally important. ”
"Luring the army of the middle banner of the right wing of the Chahar is a very dangerous task, the entire Chahar tribe, the two strongest troops with the strongest combat effectiveness, that is, the left wing of the middle banner and the right wing of the middle flag, this time, we must all exterminate the Mongolian Tartars of the right wing of the central banner, and then go to annihilate the Mongolian Tartars of the left wing of the middle banner, the other party's combat effectiveness is strong, we must not take it lightly, we must always be vigilant, and we must make comprehensive deployment arrangements."
"My request is to trade the least sacrifice for the greatest victory."
"You are all experienced in a hundred battles, but I still have to put forward a request, your task is to seduce the Mongol Tartars, you must control the timing, you must master the rhythm, you must not fall in love with the war, this must be remembered, if anyone can not perform well, whether you are very good at completing the task, I will be punished."
Su Tiancheng smiled and nodded, He Renlong's arrangement is very appropriate, the so-called strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away, although the current arrangement, can not mention such a height, but He Renlong's arrangement has already reflected the overall idea, using the three-way army to lure the army of the right wing of Chahar, the other party will definitely be fooled.
After He Renlong finished speaking, he looked at Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng restrained his smile and spoke with a serious expression.
"He Renlong's deployment is very comprehensive, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, you must follow the implementation, there must be no deviation, according to the information we have, there are nearly 20,000 sergeants in the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar, these sergeants are the elite troops of the Chahar tribe, we can completely exterminate this Mongolian Tartar, it is a very beautiful war of annihilation, I have always emphasized that every time we fight, we must make dumplings, not drive the flock, we need to exterminate the vitality of the other party, Need to beat the water dogs, although the Jiangning battalion can't attack the old and weak women and children, but the contest between the armies, there is no politeness, how to grasp the middle of the battlefield, that is what you decide, under special circumstances, I am not against killing without mercy. ”
"The responsibility on your shoulders is heavy, the three-way army, the army led by Hong Chengchou, should have started a fight, what is the final result, we don't know yet, the army led by Qin Liangyu should still be on the march, at most two days later, we will start fighting, we are facing the most formidable enemy, the main force of the Chahar tribe, I hope you can achieve the most brilliant victory."
"Okay, you all go and get ready, launch an attack tomorrow, I still say the same thing, let's go and win the battle, the Jiangning battalion is invincible in the world." (To be continued......)
