"The soldiers are divided into three routes, all the way to the battlefield of the main force of the Beiyang Army and the Forbidden Army, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion fought all the way to Tianjin, not only blocking the back road of the Beiyang Army and destroying them, but also smashing the Yellow Dragon directly, directly taking the capital and overthrowing the imperial court. All the way to Shandong, the base camp of the Beiyang Army, forcing the main force of the Beiyang Army to return to Shandong. Sun Liechen analyzed thoughtfully.

After gesturing on the sand table for nearly a minute, Sun Liechen's eyes slowly became hot.

After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart as much as possible and said, "Dashuai, there is a head!" As long as the three-way attacking troops can be in place in time, we will definitely be able to let Yuan Shikai lose his wife and lose his troops. ”

"As for taking Gyeonggi and overthrowing the imperial court, there is no problem at all."

"However, this means that we have to use the navy for this operation. The navy was used to directly send the army to Tianjin and Shandong, and the imperial court and the Beiyang Army were taken by surprise. ”

Yang Xingguo replied noncommittally: "Yes, the navy has been training for so long, and it is time to pull it out for practice." Although they were not yet the opponents of the Japanese Navy, if the Beiyang Army and the naval fleet under the imperial court could not win, then they would be trained in vain. ”

After Yang Xingguo's face slowly returned to seriousness, he stared at Sun Liechen and asked rhetorically: "Chief of Staff, after such a long time, have all the troops that should be assembled assembled!" ”

"All the active troops have been assembled." Sun Liechen immediately affirmed

"Marshal, you still had the foresight at the beginning: since we formed the border brigade, the combat missions of the main force have become less and less, and they usually conduct training at the station, and it is particularly convenient to assemble."

Yang Xingguo nodded and asked, "Tell me about the specific assembly of troops!" ”

"Yes, handsome! The First Army defended against the Imperial Forbidden Army, which we were preparing to attack, and as long as the offensive began, the Imperial Forbidden Army would not be able to threaten us. Therefore, the nearly 40,000 elites of the First Army have all been assembled, and they have secretly moved to the defense line of major checkpoints, as long as the commander gives the order to attack, the First Army can enter the pass at any time. ”

"The Fourth Army assembled two main regiments and all the troops directly under it, with a total strength of 25,000 men. At present, more than 20,000 people have all gathered on the front line of Shanhaiguan. If they were allowed to attack Tianjin, it would only take one day for them to reach Yingkou, and then take the sea route directly to the Tianjin Military Port, land from Tianjin, and cut off the rear route of the Beiyang Army. ”

"The guard division has all been assembled, with a total strength of 13,000 men, ready to fight at any time."

"The Second Army completed the assembly of a main division and all the troops directly under the army headquarters, with a total strength of 15,000 troops. The Third Army completed the assembly of a main division and all units directly under the military headquarters, with a total strength of 15,000 troops. Both units can move south to join the battle at any time. ”

Yang Xingguo showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then replied happily: "This means that we can use nearly 110,000 troops to fight this battle, take Gyeonggi, overthrow the imperial court, and enter the Central Plains." ”

Sun Liechen was also very excited, and he also had a lot of credit for the fact that the Wehrmacht could develop to such a scale in such a short period of time.

Moreover, commanding more than 100,000 people to fight at one time is absolutely an unprecedented honor for a soldier.

Thinking that he would assist the marshal to directly command this large-scale decisive battle, Sun Liechen was unconsciously very excited.

Seeing that Sun Liechen's excited face had an expression of impatience, the happy Yang Xingguo once again focused his eyes on the map, and then his face quickly returned to seriousness, and he decisively ordered: "The First Army, attack immediately, and directly kill the battlefield between the Beiyang Army and the Forbidden Army, don't let the Beiyang Army take the lead in eliminating the Forbidden Army." ”

"When you get to the battlefield, put on an offensive stance. However, as long as the Forbidden Army and the Beiyang Army do not take the initiative to attack us, we cannot attack them. This must be explained clearly to Wang Hu, otherwise with Wang Hu's character, he dares to attack the forbidden army and the Beiyang army together on the battlefield, even if his strength is far inferior to the forbidden army and the Beiyang army. ”

Sun Liechen said with a smile: "This character can't be blamed entirely on Wang Hu, the devils and Lao Maozi on the battlefield are not our opponents, not to mention the forbidden army of the imperial court." Not only Wang Hu, but the whole army of the Wehrmacht did not look down on the Beiyang Army and the Forbidden Army, thinking that one of our main divisions could easily defeat at least two of them. ”

Yang Xingguo was very happy just now, and he was full of confidence in this upcoming attack.

However, after listening to Sun Liechen's analysis, his face suddenly fell.

Especially after seeing that Sun Liechen, the chief of staff, also showed contempt for the forbidden army and the Beiyang army, Yang Xingguo actually showed a worried expression on his face, and then said very decisively.

"Chief of Staff, this kind of thinking is not okay. If the whole army has this kind of thinking, then we will be defeated before we fight. Even if we don't lose in the end, our losses in the whole battle will be greater than expected, and much greater. ”

Sun Liechen first showed a puzzled expression, not knowing why Yang Xingguo suddenly reacted so much.

After thinking for a full minute, he suddenly replied: "Dashuai, you mean that we have underestimated the enemy!" ”

"Of course!" Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it.

"Don't think that if we have defeated the Japanese army and defeated Lao Maozi, our combat effectiveness will be invincible in the world. To tell the truth, there are many more units in the world that are more effective than our National Defense Forces, but we have not encountered them. ”

Sun Liechen asked with an unconvinced face: "Marshal, I admit that there are still many troops in the world whose combat effectiveness surpasses ours, but it is definitely not the Imperial Forbidden Army and Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army!" ”

"Don't believe it!" Yang Xingguo retorted.

"There are two main reasons why we were able to defeat the Japanese army and Lao Maozi one after another on the battlefield: the first is the superiority of equipment, and the second is the use of tactics, taking advantage of the enemy's ignorance of our inferiority and underestimating the enemy, defeating them again and again."

"You have been involved in most of these combat chiefs of staff, so you should know better than me."

Sun Liechen first nodded, and then retorted with an unconvinced expression: "But even so, I am confident that we can easily defeat the Forbidden Army and the Beiyang Army." In terms of combat effectiveness, the Beiyang Army and the Forbidden Army are not even as good as devils, let alone us. ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and analyzed: "Then I will tell you about the various advantages of the Beiyang Army and the Forbidden Army compared to us. ”

"First, they are defending their territory, are familiar with the terrain, and have a certain advantage in popularity and troops."

"Second, their equipment has been developed for nearly a year, and it is no worse than ours!"

"Third, we are all Chinese, they are familiar with us and our way of fighting. In battle we will conspire, and so will they. ”

"Fourth, their supply lines are closer than ours, and the logistics are much easier than ours." (To be continued.) )
