Chapter 862: Annihilate the Enemy in Motion
Yan Chunyu acted urgently, and Guo Ye and Zuo Guigui led the Third Division and the Supervising Battalion to be idle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Bazin was mobilizing the Four-Nation Alliance, Guo Ye had already led the army to Zhengding Mansion, and the distance between the rivers was only 400 miles.
"Brother Guanting, Yunlu, tell me, this time, how should we fight?"
Guo Ye, Zuo Guigui, Ke Yunlu and several brigade commanders squatted on the ground, looked at the map together, and asked in a loud voice.
Ke Yunlu hurriedly said: "Dashuai, that is naturally to rush to the aid of Brother Gao, now he has a division of troops to deal with the 60,000 troops of the four-nation coalition army, I am afraid that it will not last long, from Zhengding to the river, it is only four hundred miles away, we march with all our strength, it will only take six or seven days, we can arrive, and we can barely withstand the offensive of the coalition army in one place, we can't count on the spring rain for the time being, from Weihai to Hejian Mansion, it is still far away, 1,300 miles away, and now the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea are controlled by the coalition fleet, and they cannot be transported by sea. If the second division wants to rush to Hejian Mansion, it will have to wait for at least nearly half a month! ”
Guo Ye didn't answer, and looked at Zuo Guigui.
Zuo Guigui said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to rush to the aid of Gao Qi, however, don't say that the two divisions are combined, even if the three divisions are combined, we are only more than 50,000 people, in the face of the four-nation alliance, we still do not have enough chance of winning, and we have been running for a long time, along the way, the soldiers are already very tired, compared with the coalition army, it is more passive, hard-to-hard collision, it is better to avoid it or try to avoid it......"
Guo Ye smiled: "Brother Guanting, then how do you think we should deploy this battle?" ”
Zuo Guigui pondered: "Send cavalry to the location of Hejian Province, contain the strength of the Four Nations Alliance Army in Hejian, reduce Gao Qi's military pressure, our army is slowly advancing, recuperating, especially, we must buy two days of rest for the army to recover its combat strength." Once our combat strength is restored, I think the strength of the two divisions will be enough to confront the coalition forces, and even if we are at a disadvantage, we don't have to worry about suffering a big loss......"
Guo Ye nodded, stood up and replied: "Relying on our cavalry, it is almost impossible to contain the main force of the Four-Nation Alliance, especially the French army, their artillery is very powerful, and they also have a hunting cavalry regiment with them, and the Four-Nation Alliance will definitely take precautions, and it will definitely not let us succeed easily." ”
Zuo Guigui frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Since it's too late to rescue, then we might as well not rescue, they beat theirs, we beat ours!"
Zuo Guigui and Ke Yunlu were shocked, and Ke Yunlu hurriedly said: "Big brother, if we don't rush to the aid of Hejian Mansion, that big brother is choking enough, even if he escapes by luck, the first division will definitely be greatly injured!" ”
"Isn't that Yan Chunyu's second division? Although it is difficult for two divisions to deal with tens of thousands of troops of the Western coalition army, in a short period of time, if you want to defeat the first and second divisions, Bazin does not have the ability, after all, this is on China's territory! ”
Guo Ye replied lightly.
"However, Chunyu's second division is farther away from Hejian Mansion than us!"
Ke Yunlu said eagerly, "We are only more than 400 miles away from them, but there is a distance of more than 1,000 miles from Weihai to Hejian Mansion!" When the second division arrived in Hejian Province, I was afraid that the daylilies would be cold! ”
Zuo Guigui groaned: "Ming Shuai, do you mean that Chunyu will take the risk of taking the waterway?" ”
Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Take the waterway, this is the only choice, although now the foreigners have blocked the coastal areas of Shandong and Zhili provinces, but, after all, this is China's territory, there will always be loopholes, and we can choose to let other merchant ships help us transport, I think the Americans will definitely be willing to help us solve this problem!" As long as the Americans make a move, then in five or six days at most, the second division can land from the east of Cangzhou and attack the flank of the coalition forces in the Jinghai area from the east of Cangzhou, the first division and the second division join forces, there is no problem, even if it is not the opponent of the coalition forces, it can buy us more than half a month! ”
"And what about our third division?"
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "From now on, the Supervising Battalion and the Green Battalion of Baoding Town will all be incorporated into the Third Division, and the Independent Brigade of the Third Division will be established, Yunlu, and this force will be handed over to you!" ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! ”
"Guanting, you led the Seventh Brigade and the Eighth Brigade to advance quickly to Baoding, and even the cavalry regiment was handed over to you. Yunlu, you follow me to lead the Ninth Brigade and the Independent Brigade, and advance quickly towards Renqiu, we are in Renqiu, and we will meet the legendary French army for a while! ”
When Guo Ye said this, a branch in his hand slammed into the ground, and he snapped in response!
"Ming Shuai, you just want to wrestle with Bazin's main French army with only two brigades? If you want to win the battle, I don't recommend that the third division divide the troops, but concentrate on it, advance towards Hejian Province, and have a decisive battle with the main force of the French army on the far right! ”
Left precious raised his voice.
"Brother Guanting, you are joking, who wants to fight a positional battle with them? You know, the three divisions of our Lu Army are combined, and now there are no 60,000 people, without the slightest backup, and the foreigners in Nanyang have at least tens of thousands or even 100,000 troops, even if we have Chen Hai, a strange soldier in hand, the British can also draw troops from India and even Australia, gallop to the Chinese battlefield, fight for attrition, we are absolutely unable to fight the Four-Nation Alliance! We have only one chance to win this war, and that is to take out the enemy in the movement! Through a rapid movement, tear the front of the Four-Nation Alliance, after all, they are the Four-Nation Alliance, not the 60,000 French army, Bazin cannot command it, in the war, it will definitely show flaws, this is our chance! ”
Zuo Guigui was thoughtful, and Ke Yunlu on the side asked: "Big brother, do you mean to let Guanting threaten Tianjin and Langfang, attract the French army to retreat to the rear, and then we will wait for the rabbit in the back?" ”
"Not bad! War is not only about weapons and morale, but also about information! This is our territory, we are familiar with the geographical situation of various places, our scouts can be arbitrarily vertical and horizontal, which is incomparable to the coalition forces, we have an absolute advantage in intelligence, this is the key to our victory thousands of miles away! ”
"Hahaha, Ming Shuai, in this way, you can strategize! Oh, you're really cunning, cunning......"
Zuo Guigui sighed with a laugh.
