A large fleet sailed into Jiaozhou Bay from the Yellow Sea, and the black, red, and gold tricolor flags fluttered high on the warships with teeth and claws, and this fleet was the German fleet led by Field Marshal Wadsey, commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Alfred, who was in his seventies. Feng. Wadsey was dressed in a military uniform, with silver-white hair and a gray beard, but he did not look old at all, and his slightly cloudy eyes were bright and bright, and he was faintly excited about his body, and he could not see at all that he had just gone on a voyage at sea for more than two months.

"Marshal, we have entered Jiaozhou Bay, and the fleet will soon enter the port, I want to confirm with you again, do we really choose to land from Qingdao instead of landing directly in Tianjin, and join up with the other ** teams as soon as possible?" The chief of staff of the German army, Horstred, asked.

"Horstred, do you remember His Majesty's declaration before the expedition?" Wadsey asked rhetorically.

"Of course, but now the situation is different, the Qing Dynasty has admitted defeat, and there have been armistice and peace talks with other countries, our German Empire, if in this case, still carry out the retaliatory actions of His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that it will embarrass all countries, especially Tsarist Russia, after all, the early armistice and peace talks are promoted by Tsarist Russia, plus the northeast of China, the war between Tsarist Russia and the local armed forces in Heishui Province has also ended, if we take a tough shot, I am afraid that we will gather the attention of the whole world, such an image of my Germany, is lossy. Hostred analyzed.

"No, Horstred, the armistice of the countries is only their own will, it is just a verbal agreement, and as the commander of the coalition forces, I Wadsey have not signed the armistice agreement, so this war is far from over." Wadsey said forcefully: "Besides, how can the Qing government alone exterminate those lawless bandits, Chief of Staff Horstred, you must always remember that we are helping the Qing government and their country, just like what Tsarist Russia did in Northeast China." ”

Wadsey is right, what they are about to do is not much different from what Tsarist Russia did in the northeast, but he doesn't know how difficult it is for Tsarist Russia to fight on the battlefield with the Black Dragon Army, and whether Tsarist Russia can win or because of the Black Dragon Army's release of water, if he knows, I'm afraid Wadsey won't say so, because he can do the same thing as Tsarist Russia, but the end may be worse than Tsarist Russia.

"It's ......."

"No, but." Wadsey strongly interrupted Horstred's words, and continued: "Although I and His Majesty the Emperor have different views in many aspects, but before the departure, His Majesty the Emperor's declaration of expedition, I agree, we should be like the Huns under the command of King Etzel thousands of years ago, as famous as the legends that have been handed down to this day, we Germans should make our voices heard all over the world, then, the first thing to do is to let China prostrate under our feet, so that the Chinese people can see our German people, His legs will tremble, and his knees will go limp, so that no one will ever dare to look sideways at our great Germans. ”

Waldsee is sixty-eight this year, when he was young, because of the appreciation of the famous German general Moltke, and his political and military career was smooth, with him taking control of the German General Staff, but also the status of the General Staff was elevated to the same level as the German War Department, and the wartime cabinet was equivalent, and successfully realized the three-year compulsory military service system, and even intervened in foreign affairs and other political affairs through the General Staff, and finally let the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck step down, it should be said that Waldsee's life is beautiful, perhaps, the only shortcoming, is that he has not been able to personally lead troops to fight, and he has not been able to win a decisive victory on the battlefield thousands of miles away.

I thought that this visit to China was an opportunity for him to show his talents on the military battlefield, however, as expected, he, the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance, had not yet reached the battlefield, and the war had already ended, which made Wadsey how bearable, plus the interests of the empire also required the arrival of the German army to fight a few battles, so Wadsey would not go to the armistice and peace talks promoted by Tsarist Russia to break the agreement.

Now in Germany, even Kaiser Wilhelm II has to give Wadsey some face, how can he Horstred be able to call the expeditionary force head-on, although he is the Kaiser's forced insertion into the expeditionary force, but if Waldsea does not recognize his ability, I am afraid he may not be able to serve as the chief of staff of the expeditionary force.

"Horstred, in fact, is also very optimistic about your talent, which is why you can stand by my side, but one thing you must always remember is that war is only a means, and fighting for the interests of the country through war is the goal, as for mercy, let him hell with it." Wadsey said meaningfully.

"Marshal Xie's teachings, Horstred understands." After Horstred finished speaking, he took out the clip that had been clipped under his armpit and said: "According to the marshal's opinion, the General Staff has made a preliminary plan for the strategy of this military operation, Marshal, do you want to listen now?" ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Wadsey then turned his gaze away from the sea and looked at Hostred.

"In view of the fact that Shandong has joined the Southeast Mutual Guarantee, it is not appropriate for our army to start a war in Shandong,......。

Since the winter of 1899, after the xenophobic behavior of the Boxers in Shandong caused dissatisfaction in various countries, the Qing court was forced to remove Yuxian, the governor of Shandong who connived at the boxers, and replaced it by Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai also officially stepped into the level of feudal officials, after entering Shandong, Yuan Shikai defined the Boxers as a "leftist cult", saying that they destroyed social stability, so they drove out the boxers, so that they could no longer gain a foothold in Shandong, so all the boxers entered the Zhili area.

During the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Shandong also joined the Southeast Mutual Insurance under the leadership of Yuan Shikai, and it was precisely because Yuan Shikai joined the Southeast Mutual Insurance that the German colony of Qingdao was able to be safe and sound.

……

Dezhou Mansion, Ningjing County, Wulong Mountain.

Wulong Mountain is about 30 miles south of Ningjing County, the Horse Face River flows slowly at the foot of Wulong Mountain, and the other side of the Horse Face River belongs to the boundary of Jinan Prefecture, it should be said that Wulong Mountain is a veritable three-regardless zone, since it is a three-regardless zone, it is naturally easy to become a bandit nest.

However, since last year, after the boxing bandits, the bandits have basically disappeared in Zhili, because they have all turned into the Boxers, and some people have even entered Beijing and become the guests of Cixi Lafayette.

It is precisely for this reason that Wulong Mountain has become the temporary station of the Central Plains Army Divisional Headquarters, and after two days and two nights of dispersion, the main forces of the Central Plains Army Division finally gathered in Wulong Mountain.

"Commander, there are only three or two dilapidated houses in this Wulong Mountain, do you want the commander-in-chief to send something that can live in people, otherwise everyone will have to drink the northwest wind tonight." As soon as the head of the 201st regiment, Montaula, sat down, he spoke.

"Brother Meng is right, it's best to ask the commander-in-chief to buy us some meat, it's still very hard to travel these two days, hiding everywhere, and I haven't even drunk hot soup." The commander of the 203rd regiment, Wanyan Batu, also agreed.

"Haha, this matter is not my responsibility, you have to find the chief of staff of the iron for logistics." Yue Weiyun smiled and pointed to Tie Lin Dao, who was sitting on the side.

"While staying there, a group of monkey cubs, it seems that they are used to a good life, and they want to call the commander-in-chief at every turn, and they have the courage to ask themselves." Tie Lin scolded with a smile.

"Haha."

……

"Alright, no more gossip."

After a commotion, Yue Weiyun finally put down the teacup in his hand, and then continued: "Chen Jinjiang, the new deputy commander of our military division and head of the 202nd Regiment, as well as the Su Third Artillery Department of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, are still on the road, and I am afraid it will take about a week to get here, and the German army may arrive in the next two days according to the commander-in-chief's expectations, so we must start the operation immediately, in view of the fact that Deputy Commander Chen has not taken office, then the 202nd Regiment will be fully responsible for the time being. ”

Han Wu used to be the commander of the fourth battalion of the 203rd Regiment, and before serving as the commander of the fourth battalion, he was also the company commander of the first battalion and one company of the infantry of the former Xigang Army Division.

In fact, this is mainly because after the third anti-encirclement and suppression, Yue Weiyun expanded the 202 Regiment of 3,000 people at one time, and then, because of the reason of shaving his braids, the six battalions under Wanyan Batu were directly organized into the 203 Regiment, which caused the lack of a large number of officers in the original Xigang Military Division, so that low-level officers had to be continuously promoted, and Han Wu was one of the beneficiaries.

Of course, being able to be promoted must have been recognized, but now Yue Weiyun said that the 202nd Regiment should be fully responsible for himself for the time being, Han Wu is still a little weak-hearted, after all, the former 203rd Regiment was not able to fight a strong battle in Xigang, and the same was true in Moling later, so Han Wu didn't even have the experience of commanding a battalion to fight, and now he is directly commanding a regiment, and he is really a little trembling.

However, since Yue Weiyun had been named, it was definitely not okay to admit it, so he gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "The subordinates will definitely take the 202nd regiment well, and they will not embarrass Commander Yue or Deputy Commander Chen." ”

"Chief of Staff Han don't be nervous, I think Deputy Commander Chen should be able to take up his post before the battle starts, but the military affairs of the 202nd Regiment during this time, you have to worry more, if someone is really disobedient, you can pick up your walkie-talkie and tell me, I will train him for you." Yue Weiyun said bluntly.

This possibility is indeed there, after all, the 202nd Regiment was directly transferred from the fourth, fifth, and sixth battalions of the original 203rd Regiment, and the fifth battalion commander and the sixth battalion commander used to be at the same level as Han Wu, but now they suddenly become superiors.

"Commander, rest assured, the 202 regiment has no thorns." Han Wu hurriedly replied, just kidding, if you can't figure it out, you have to find a way to do it, if you can't even handle it with your own subordinates, then what will the leader think of herself.

"Yes, that's fine." Yue Weiyun nodded, then glanced at Tie Lin and said, "Chief of Staff Tie, next, it's up to you to tell you about the current situation first." ”

"Okay." After Tie Lin opened the wallet in his hand, he continued: "According to the commander-in-chief's prediction, our staff has made a detailed analysis, believing that the German army is unlikely to attack in Shandong, and the German army should use their Jiaoji Railway, which has not yet been fully completed, to come from Qingdao to Jinan Mansion in a short time,......。 ”

Although the Jiaoji Railway has not been fully completed, most of the sections have completed the laying of rails, and only a few sections, because of bridges and tunnels and other reasons, have not been completed for the time being, but this will not affect the German army with the help of the Jiaoji Railway, after all, this saves time and effort.

As for guessing that the German army may divide the route, this is mainly reminded by Yue Weihua, because in history, Wadsey organized forty-six teams of "crusade teams" to carry out a large-scale campaign against Zhili, south to Zhengding, north to Zhangjiakou, east to Shanhaiguan, west to Shanxi, everywhere is the voice of the coalition army, everywhere is burning and killing, as for whether it is a boxer bandit, this is not the key, the key is who the coalition army wants to fight, then who to fight, even the government has been looted a lot, dead and wounded in the hands of the crusade team, It is far more than the Eight-Nation Alliance's attack on Tanggu and Yanjing, and even more than the people who died in the hands of Tsarist Russia in the three eastern provinces, this is bloody history.

Forget it, let's get back to business.

Wadsey dared to divide the forces so scattered, firstly, the Qing army almost did not dare to resist, and if there was really resistance, as long as a few telegrams, the Qing army would automatically withdraw and let go of everything, as for the Boxers who resisted the Qing army, they had become scattered at the moment, and the coalition army was not at the same level at all.

The current situation, the main difference from history is that except for Germany, the rest of the countries have already ceased war, and because of the problem of time, the armies of various countries are mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Yanjing and Tanggu, as for Baoding, Zhengding, Shanxi and other places, the coalition forces have basically not set foot in it, it is obvious that the first target of the German army must be Baoding, Zhengding, or add a daimyo mansion in the southeast of Zhili.

With the continuous issuance of Cixi's will to strangle the Boxers, coupled with the fact that the main leaders of the Boxers died in Yanjing, the Boxers in the Zhili area are now scattered and hiding in Tibet, basically without much combat effectiveness, not to mention the German army, even the Qing army can easily suppress it.

And once the German army starts fighting, it will definitely not let the war drag on for too long, after all, after a long time, countries will definitely intervene, in this case, Wadsey will inevitably choose a quick victory.

If you want to fight a quick battle, and you want to achieve the greatest results in a short period of time, occupy the largest territory, and the opponent is so weak, then Wadsey repeats history, disperses his forces, and sweeps the southeast of Zhili with a horizontal push momentum, which is almost a sure thing.

"I agree with the Iron Chief of Staff."

"In that case, you can't be wrong."

……

Sure enough, when Tie Lin analyzed this, everyone nodded yes.

"Since everyone agrees with the analysis of the General Staff, how to deal with it, let's all share our opinions." Yue Weiyun said.

As soon as Yue Weiyun finished speaking, the commander of the 201st regiment, Montaula, stood up without giving up, took a thin bamboo strip prepared in advance, and then came to the Zhili map hanging on the wall, pointed to the map and said: "I also think that the chief of staff is very right, the German army should take the Jiaoji Railway and arrive at Jinan Mansion as soon as possible, followed by 30,000 German troops, and the troops should be divided into two to three roads, including from Jinan Mansion, through Dezhou Mansion, and then directly to Zhengding Mansion, this road can be called the middle road, this road is inevitable." ”

"The second road, we can call it the North Road, the first should also be through Dezhou Mansion, and then north to Hejian Mansion, the ultimate goal should be Baoding Mansion, this road I think is also inevitable."

"As for the third road, from Jinan Mansion, through Liaocheng, and then straight to the Daimyo's Mansion, this road can be called the South Road, however, whether this road is for Germany to divide the troops, it mainly depends on how big the ambition of the German commander Wadsey, if the ambition is small, then this road may not have."

"Of course, no matter which way it goes, once the German army goes beyond the boundary of Shandong, it will inevitably begin to divide its troops and sweep away with the momentum of horizontal pushing, which I very much agree with the chief of staff."

"As for the countermeasures, combined with our troops, and the current position of our troops, I think it is best to abandon the southern route and deploy the main forces on the middle and northern routes, this is my opinion." Montaura returned to his seat.

"That's a good point."

I don't know when, Yue Weihua suddenly appeared at the door, in fact, Yue Weihua had already arrived for a while, but he didn't want to interrupt Montaula's analysis, so he stood at the door for a while.

"Commander-in-Chief."

"The commander-in-chief is here, it seems that there is no need to drink the northwest wind tonight."

"Commander-in-Chief, tell me about it."

……

After Yue Weihua arrived, the first military meeting of the Central Plains Military Division after coming to Zhili became more and more enthusiastic, after all, the commander-in-chief is here, who doesn't want to show it, of course, dare to stand up and say, he must have his own opinions, and if everyone is the same, it is estimated that no one dares to say it.

In fact, for the issue of the German army's route, it is basically the same, especially before Yue Weihua came to Wulong Mountain again, he went to Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay to reconnoitre, and really found that the main force of the German army was landing, so it basically confirmed the previous speculation.

Therefore, there is basically nothing to discuss in terms of the route, and even everyone basically agrees with Montaula's proposition, regardless of whether the German army will be divided into three roads, the third road, the Black Dragon Army should be temporarily abandoned, after all, there are only three infantry regiments in the Central Plains Army Division, and these three regiments, only the battle of the 201st regiment can really make people feel at ease, and the combat effectiveness of the regiment may still need to be tempered through several battles before it can stand alone.

The most discussed is the details of the operation, in fact, for the details of the operation, the Black Dragon Army has always been very detailed, because the more detailed the picking, the more adequate the preparations before the battle, so that the battle will not lead to a rush because of certain details, and even lead to the possibility of defeat.

Details determine success or failure, this is a sentence that Yue Weihua often says in the conference room.
