Chapter 214: The Prelude to the Great War

Zhang Xiu brought more than 10,000 people and had ten division commanders, of course, this kind of establishment is definitely different from Liu Feng's formation, Zhang Xiu's army is based on a division of 1,000 people as an organization, a total of 1021 automatic rifle division 1, code 1022 led automatic rifle 2nd division, code 1023 led automatic rifle 3rd division, code 1024 led automatic rifle 4th division, code 1025 led automatic rifle 5th division, code 1026 led automatic rifle 6th division, The 7th Automatic Rifle Division led by code 1027, the 8th Automatic Rifle Division led by code 1028, the 1st Light Machine Gun Division led by code 1029, and the Bazooka and Tank Battalion led by Zhang Xiu himself.

The 20,000 men he had in West Africa were organized into a division of 3,000 men, codenamed 1051, 1052, 1053, 1054, 1055, 1056, and 1057, leading the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th West African Corps respectively.

Most of the soldiers below were recruited from the Berber tribes of West Africa, and some came from Carthage, Afriga, Mauritania and other places, so the combat effectiveness should not be very strong.

After Zhang Xiu, Aerilin, Ao Balu and others entered the Chinese army command tent, Zhang Xiu looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

"Governor Zhang, otherwise, our seven divisions in West Africa are responsible for overcoming the first line of defense, and you are responsible for the second line, and then we will attack the final line of defense in the north and south, so that it can be dragged to the cruiser's artillery bombardment position!" Arelin saw Zhang Xiu frowning and came up to suggest.

Erilin's idea is very simple, the first line of defense Liu Feng is bound not to place a large number of firepower points, so that the casualty rate should not be large, and the general war firepower points are set up in the back position, mainly responsible for fire cover and repelling a large number of enemy attacks.

Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard Arelin's suggestion, it seemed that this Arelin had figured it out, and he was actually taking the initiative to ask for battle, Zhang Xiu looked approvingly.

As for the senior generals of the system brought by Zhang Xiu below, they all dare to be angry and dare not speak, don't poke something out of it, Zhang Xiu and Arelin will have a falling out, they are more active than Zhang Xiu in their hearts, and naturally know Zhang Xiu's plans, but they don't say anything.

The commander who came with Erilin praised Aerilin's suggestion, which was an unfavorable arrangement for Zhang Xiu's army, and he hoped that Zhang Xiu would not notice it.

"Excellent! I'll wait for your good news, I hope to capture the first line of defense in two days, and I'll have the rocket launcher and tank battalion to assist you in your attack! After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the map and carefully marked a line, drawing the location of Liu Feng's first line of defense in heavy red.

This topographic map is basically a flat open field, and there is no danger to defend it! It is a good place to start a war on the plains, less than a mile to the north is the sea, and the Mauritania Mountains are to the south, as if embedded in the critical section of West Africa and North Africa, without pulling out this nail, it is difficult to move westward.

"Then thank Governor Zhang Xiu, I promise to take this place within two days!" Erilin looked at the red line drawn by Zhang Xiu on the map, and pointed with his hand facing west.

"Good! You can arrange the time of the attack and the time of the general attack, you only need to go to the bazooka and tank battalions to inform the time and place of the attack! I look forward to hearing from you! Zhang Xiu said happily.

"Okay, as soon as I say it, I will do my best to assist Governor Zhang Xiu to capture West Africa and capture Liu Feng alive! I hope that the Governor will help me get the Governor of West Africa on the President's side! Thank you! After saying that, Arelin left with his men.

"This Arellin is getting worse and worse! Why would the Governor cooperate with such a man? Codename 1021 shouted excitedly.

Codename 1021 is from the Stan District of the Earth Federation, a former boxer who was recruited to devote himself to the liberation of the Otherworld.

Zhang Xiu smiled and looked at the Nine Lives Senior General below, looked at the map and said: "Brothers, it will take five days for the news of the cruiser's communication battalion just now to reach the side of the inland sea, if this Erilin is allowed to attack the first line of defense, after he captures it, we can wait for the cruiser to assist and take the second line of defense together!" You say that for a villain like Arelin, it's still more cost-effective to use it than far away! “

"Seconds! Seconds! So that we can take West Africa without exerting energy, and that's good! Arelin is shrewd, but he doesn't know that we are more chicken thieves! Ha ha! Codename 1021 grinned, as if he had already won the game.

As we all know, under the attack of the cruiser's naval guns, if there is no reliable shore-based artillery, it can only retreat twenty miles on land, which is also the characteristic of the so-called strong ship and artillery era, the cruiser really drove into the direction of the inland sea on the seaside side of the willow wind position, and the guy's artillery fire can completely cover the entire forward position.

Zhang Xiu is also waiting for this opportunity! This artillery support shock station could effortlessly capture what Liu Feng called a three-level position.

................

Liu Feng looked at the two division commanders, six brigade commanders, eighteen regiment commanders and fifty-four battalion commanders in the big tent and sighed with emotion, now there are so many people who can lead an army at will, not to mention the domestic strength, the main thing is the lack of the ability to fight in the ocean, the next step is to go all out to develop the navy, vigorously explore overseas, and strictly guard against the invasion of systematic people.

Relying on these people now, it is difficult to win, maybe it would be good to have a draw, and a tie would also allow the enemy to take the initiative to sue for peace, and the occupation of the port of Dingis in West Africa is the most important task, and the location here can be used to meddle in the internal affairs of the Roman Empire and attack the Carthaginian base in the future.

Liu Feng knew very well in his heart that this time, as long as the system people were temporarily succumbed, signing an alliance would be the biggest effect, and it would be difficult to eliminate them for a while.

"I think everyone understands, please look at the map, here and here the enemy's firepower points, we can only defend for the time being, the configuration of the first line of defense will be defended according to the team under the first division for the time being, and the second line of defense is mainly the fire point defense line, mainly arranged with rocket launchers, recoilless guns and tank battalions, the important thing is to cooperate with the first line of defense to guard the task!" After Liu Feng's words were finished, a red line was gradually drawn along the map.

According to this arrangement, the main force of the first division is placed in the middle, the sixth brigade is in the north, and the fourth and fifth brigades are in the south, so that the distance between the north and the south is less than a mile, and it can echo each other from afar!

In addition, the second line of defense was artificially pushed forward for a mile, and now the second line of defense is less than 550 meters away from the first, which can completely cover the outside of the position in all directions.

Zhao Yun assumed the command task of the second line of defense, and the second line of defense placed three tanks, 20 recoilless guns, 20 rocket launchers, and 50 light machine gunners, which were mainly responsible for the task of suppressing firepower, and cooperated with the 8,000 people of the first line of defense to guard the position, and a huge watchtower was erected between the first line of defense and the second line of defense to facilitate command and transmission.

As for the third line of defense, the main force of the Second Division led by Liu Feng did not engage in scattered positional behavior, but mainly drew a circular position to prevent the system from landing from Dingith Harbor, and it would be miserable to flank the attack in both directions.
