Wang Yingkai looked at the content on this map, and was also a little fascinated for a while, how could such a detailed map not have great attraction for a person from the army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Bin turned his head and saw Wang Yingkai's somewhat obsessed appearance, and immediately smiled, and then said, "Uncle Wang, how is this map?"

After Wang Bin's words were finished, Wang Yingkai realized that he was now in the government, and such an attitude was really a bit out of shape, but Wang Yingkai continued to say Wang Bin's words.

"Tut-tut, Youde, this map is not amazing, the old man has seen a lot of fine maps since he entered the barracks, but this is the first time I have seen such a detailed map."

From the map, Wang Yingkai can clearly see the military layout of his side, as well as the deployment locations of various armies, all of which indicate that this map is only afraid of the ruling government.

After receiving Wang Yingkai's praise, Wang Bin smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "This map is my credit, you must know that for the layout of this map, the army and intelligence departments on the front line have spent a lot of effort, and this official dares to be complacent!" ”

After saying this, Wang Yingkai pointed to the deployment situation on the map and said: "Since Youde you have taken out such a map, the old man will not be stingy, and I will talk about some of the old man's own views." ”

"I'll listen to that little nephew."

Wang Yingkai, as an old veteran in Beiyang, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been in the army for so many years, and he is still much better than himself in terms of the overall situation.

After clearing his throat, Wang Yingkai pointed to Henan, Hubei, Anhui and other places on the map on the wall and said: "If I want to carry out the Northern Expedition, it is the easiest thing to send troops from Yiyang Sanguan.

As long as the three in Wuchang were transported to the front line by rail, Duan Qirui was forced to defend, and then a town of troops was sent into Shaanxi to force Wang Shizhen's Seventh Division to shrink its defense.

In the end, Henan was besieged from all sides, and from Anhui to Hubei to Shaanxi, the entire southern part of Henan faced at least military oppression from the five towns of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In addition, Duan Fang also has the military strength of two towns under his hands, and the confrontation with our Shandong only needs to leave the military strength of one town, so that the military strength of six towns can be invested.

Moreover, as soon as the situation is wrong, you can retreat to the three passes of Yiyang at any time, so that the Manchus will be able to attack and retreat, unless the main force of the Manchus is eliminated in one fell swoop, otherwise the three passes of Yiyang alone can carry out a steady stream of attacks on us. ”

Wang Yingkai's words, Wang Bin also nodded again and again after listening to this, the current situation and some sporadic intelligence all show that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is increasing troops at the three passes of Yiyang.

The specific number of additional troops is unknown, but Wang Bin already has a guess similar to Wang Yingkai in his heart, that is, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty goes on a northern expedition, the southern region of Henan will inevitably fall into war.

Duan Qirui's task will be very difficult.

"Uncle Wang, if you say so, then what kind of preparations should our army make?"

As soon as Wang Yingkai heard this, he immediately touched his beard and looked at the map on the wall, just like that, Wang Yingkai suddenly had such a plan in his heart.

Since the three concerns of Yiyang are bound to become the front line of the Manchu attack, and these three levels are easy to defend and difficult to attack, once they attack hard, their casualties are also not small.

So Wang Yingkai looked at other places, and it was more difficult to fight on the front, so we dragged it on the front to attract the military power from the three passes of Yiyang.

Then he unexpectedly gathered troops from other places, and went around to the back of the three passes of Yiyang and went straight to Wuchang in one fell swoop, so that the defenders of the three passes of Yiyang were isolated, and then slowly surrounded and annihilated.

As soon as this idea came out, Wang Yingkai couldn't wait to set his sights on Shaanxi, as long as Shaanxi was taken, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could directly disintegrate from the rear by virtue of the series of defense systems built by the three passes of Yiyang, without having to pay a lot of casualties in the front.

After Wang Yingkai finished his opinion with great interest, Wang Bin also pinned his eyes to the map and looked at the past, Wang Yingkai's plan seemed perfect, but there were two crucial questions that he did not think about.

First of all, if you want to take Tongguan, you have to put it there, Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Moreover, the situation of Tongguan is very dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, there is a forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are 12 cities in the south of the valley; There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs down, and the west is near Huayue.

The surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are exclusive, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine path in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.

Even after taking Tongguan, the remaining intersperses are unlikely, and after taking Tongguan, the Qing army in the south will inevitably react and increase troops from Hubei to Xi'an.

This move is nothing more than to reduce Duan Qirui's positive pressure, and it doesn't have much effect on the battle situation, but Wang Yingkai's plan also gave Wang Bin an idea.

Since it is impossible to attack from the direction of Tongguan, then why not give up the battlefield of Yiyang Sanguan, and only need to let Duan Qirui make an intention to go south from Yiyang Sanguan.

Then it is natural to attract the main force of the Qing army in the direction of Yiyang Sanguan, and then intersperse from Xinye and directly attack Xiangyang.

Since the main force of the Qing army was dragged in the three passes of Yiyang, it was impossible to return to Xiangyang, and the defenders of Xiangyang must not have much, as long as they took Xiangyang, they could force the defenders of the three passes of Yiyang to return in Hubei, and then have a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army in Hubei.

As long as he wins this battle, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has lost its main force, will no longer have the strength to compete with him.

Immediately, Wang Bin slightly modified the plan given by Wang Yingkai and discussed it with Wang Yingkai, saying that it was a modification, but the direction of interspersing was changed from Shaanxi to Hubei.

After listening to Wang Bin's plan, Wang Yingkai pondered for a while and said: "This Xiangyang has always been known as a strong city, and the army attacking Xiangyang must be the elite troops under its command, not only that, but this army must also have a large number of artillery, otherwise it will not be able to knock on the door of Xiangyang." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Bin immediately thought of the First Division of the Army under his command, which was the most elite army under his command, and all the soldiers in the army were veterans who had participated in the Sino-Japanese War.

The army's firepower configuration was also the best, and among the eighteen 155-mm heavy guns captured from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Bin directly assigned twelve guns to the first division with a wave of his hand.

It can be said that at present, the combat strength and equipment of the First Division are the best among the entire northern army establishments. (To be continued.) )
