Chapter 256: Suspects Don't Need (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
There is a lot of turmoil in the world, and no one knows how many conspiracies and tricks there are in this world. Although many people are addicted to it www.biquge.info for some people, they simply don't have the leisure to pay attention to the so-called conspiracy, the so-called trickery.
Unlike others, he has always been the governor of the three eastern provinces, as the master of the 36 million people in the northeast, although he has the ambition of winning the Central Plains, but he disdains conspiracy, in the vast majority of the time, he is more inclined to invulnerable conspiracy, more inclined to absolute strength, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are not worth mentioning.
Absolute strength!
For Tang Haoran, he has always been very aware of his advantages and weaknesses, in terms of playing with strategy and even manipulating people's hearts, he is far inferior to Li Zhangwanyi, those who have left a name in history have no one to take lightly, and playing with such people is a strategy in itself, it is precisely because of this that he knows this that in the past ten years, he will show sincerity, and now that "sincerity" has evolved into strength, real strength, and unshakable strength.
The waves crashed on the beach, because it was summer, Tang Haoran took a rare day to accompany his family, the children picked up shells on the beach, and the women were preparing lunch there, but even during the holidays, Tang Haoran still rarely had a free time, just like now, the affairs of the front line still tied him up.
"The advance of the army in Trans-Baikal is not fast!"
Stepping barefoot on the beach, Tang Haoran said to Han Che beside him as he walked.
After the army occupied Verkhniy Udinsk (i.e., Ulan-Ude, previous clerical error), the battle was fought in which the encirclement points were quickly formed into lines, and then the lines were spread into surfaces, gradually forming a solid encirclement, during which time. The Russians had made several attempts to break out of the siege but were defeated, and after several failed attempts to break out, they changed their previous tactics and waited for reinforcements.
"Hasn't the Army already occupied Irkutsk? If the Russians don't break through, Siberia will cool down in two months, and then ......"
Han Che had a smile on his face. In two months, Siberia will cool down, and now there is a jubilant look in the army staff, they know very well how bad the Siberian winter is, even if the Russians have enough supplies to last for 6-8 months, but when the winter comes, the cold snap in Siberia will freeze them all.
The reason for this is very simple - the Russians were surrounded in the spring!
"Rely on the weather for victory, when will we fall to this point......"
Tang Haoran shook his head and glanced into the distance, in another time and space. The Russian army is obviously very good at fighting, even the commander Kuropatkin is also about to collapse, all the way from Shenyang to St. Petersburg, and now it is good, he played with himself in Trans-Baikal What kind of "hard to wait for help", using barbed wire, trenches and trenches to fight trench warfare with himself, in order to break through the Russian defense line The army troops suffered heavy casualties, but it was only two months. The army's casualties had already exceeded 60,000, and the siege turned into a storm. It's something that no one could have imagined, but it happened.
Originally, Tang Haoran thought that the Russians would be crushed at the touch of a button, but now, the will to fight in the face of the encirclement of them is still extremely tenacious, and only a few troops have collapsed.
"The reason why the General Staff sent troops to attack Irkutsk. It was not so much to open the passage to the west as to block reinforcements, and now the Russians are moving troops in every possible way, and in the area of Achinks, the Russian army has gathered more than 300,000 troops. And we only have 180,000 there, and the strength of the Russian army is close to twice as many as ours......"
Looking to the northwest, Tang Haoran's brows couldn't help frowning, 180,000 plus nearly 300,000 troops in the upper Uginsk area, that is, almost 460,000 troops, this is the limit of the support logistics of automobiles, for which the Northeast Army has mobilized almost all the automobiles.
If Kuropatkin's Far Eastern Army is not destroyed, the railway will not be opened, and if the railway cannot be opened, more troops will not be sent to the Western Front, then the confrontation at Achinks will not lead to anything, and even if the Russians counterattack, it is unknown whether they will be able to hold the line at that time.
"Teacher, what about the Army?"
"A month!"
Tang Haoran spit out three words, and then sighed helplessly.
"I'll give them a month, you know, the Northeast Army now claims to be two million troops, but in fact, it can be sent to the front line at most no more than one million, and the remaining troops can only be used as supplementary troops, and now, we have almost invested all our strength, and in the Northeast, there is not even a brigade ......"
There is not a single brigade in the entire Northeast!
This is not alarmism, but the fact that in the military camps in the northeast, there are one million reserves ready to replenish the front line, but in the northeast, there is not a single unit above the brigade level, and even near Dalian, there are only four independent regiments in the garrison.
Having more than 2 million troops does not mean having 200 divisions and brigades, in fact, until now, the Northeast Army has only 16 divisions and 103 brigades, and now, these troops have been transferred to the front line, and the Northeast may be able to mobilize 2.5 million troops, but it cannot provide the required 100,000 officers, even if all forces are mobilized, including student officers, the shortage of officers is still as much as 80,000 people.
Without officers, or without excellent middle-level officers, the Northeast Army will not be able to assemble enough troops, and those units that have completed their formation can only be transferred to the front line to meet the needs of the front.
At this time, what is Tang Haoran's biggest concern?
"So, in any case, we must end the fighting there before the Russians fully power their forces, even if it is at the cost of 100,000 or 200,000 casualties, after all, ......"
After a slight pause, Tang Haoran sighed.
"After all, we don't have time to wait until winter to destroy the enemy, doesn't the Navy already have plans to occupy the Philippines? At that time, you will be the only mobile unit in the hands of the Great Palace! ”
Troops are tight!
Now Tang Haoran finally knows the pain of "insufficient troops", just like facing a completely open Siberia after the Far Eastern Army is encircled. Although the Northeast Army sent a number of cavalry divisions and brigades to carry out sabotage operations, it was unable to draw enough troops to occupy those areas, and even the occupation of Irkutsk was forced by the proximity of Russian reinforcements.
Even the Philippines, which is now opening its door, is watching with a blank eye -- the navy cannot dispatch warships to escort the escort, and the army cannot withdraw troops. It is the Marine Corps, which is now also placed in the area of Zhenwan for guarding.
"The reason why I have this dilemma now is that I am too arrogant......"
With this in his mouth, Tang Haoran continued to walk forward.
"I thought by our strength...... In fact, we should unify China first, not to mention anything else, at least we can take over the 42 town army, and those troops can be expanded and reorganized, and we can send at least 2 million troops to the front. At that time......"
Now, Tang Hao then regretted it, regretting that the battle was fought too early, so that the Northeast could not invest enough forces, or not enough forces to invest in this war. After all, the Northeast is challenging one country with one place, and Russia ...... It's just too big.
"Teacher, the Russians will not give us time to slowly unify, if our main forces are used in the Kannai. So maybe we're already in the mirror of the enemy right now, not to mention. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have another chance......"
Yes, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have a chance to defeat Russia again!
As soon as the Trans-Siberian Railway is repaired, the strategic posture of China and Russia will be fundamentally reversed, and this is precisely why. Tang Haoran will be so entangled, history has changed too much in this time and space, if the Russians give themselves another two years, if ......
History doesn't have many ifs! The same is true for this plane.
"That's why we have to seize the opportunity!"
Since it's the last chance. Then grab it!
After a sigh, Tang Haoran looked at Han Che and asked.
"Okay, Handa, what's going on in the Navy? Is the time for the sortie determined? ”
Now the defense of the Northeast completely relies on the deterrence of the navy, once the navy attacks, then the Northeast will really be empty in the rear, since there is no deterrence of the fleet, there is no deterrence of the troops, and some are just more than one million recruits commanded by the platoon commanders of the recruit company...... Naturally, Tang Haoran thought of the intelligence bureau's information.
For some people, they really don't have this country in their eyes, as the last emperor said, "I don't care how many people the Japanese kill in the Northeast, how much grain and coal they transport, as long as I don't want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I won't be willing", for those people, in their eyes, there has always been only the selfish interests of one family and one surname, when did there ever be a great benefit in China? When has there ever been a China? There have been Chinese!
It's just that there are always some guys who aren't enough to be slaves......
Do it!
If you don't do it, I don't have a reason to do it!
The New Army of the Three Towns, is there really so much of a remark? Sneering in his heart, Tang Haoran did not reveal his true thoughts in front of Han Che, compared to that little bit of ringworm scabies, how to defeat the Russians now is the most important.
"The route, still not determined, the staff and the fleet command are still arguing......"
As the chief of staff of the Navy, Han Che replied bluntly, and then he said tentatively.
"Now there is a tendency in the General Staff to convene a special meeting to decide on ......"
The so-called special meeting is actually a joint military meeting of the Governor's Palace, a meeting of the top leaders of the army and navy, in other words, in the face of this important matter related to the fortunes of the country, some people think of the easiest way -- to kick the ball! Kicking the ball to himself, Tang Haoran, who secretly criticized the habits of the Chinese people who have not changed for hundreds of years, did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically.
"Handa, do you think the Russians will take that route?"
"According to my estimates, nine times out of ten, Russia will enter our ambush circle, and they will definitely take the South American route!"
Han Che still insisted on his own judgment, in fact, he never wavered, and the reason why he made this judgment was because he knew the sea, he knew the navy, and it was based on his own experience in the ocean.
"Oh!"
Nodding, Tang Haoran was silent for a moment, and then said.
"I don't think there is a need to convene a joint meeting, and this matter will be left to the commander of the fleet. The base camp in the rear should not interfere with Commander Lee's train of thought......"
Tang Haoran's Commander Li refers to Fleet Commander Li Weizhong; there are not many naval officers in the Northeast Navy, which has only been established for a short period of ten years; from the establishment of the naval school to the return of the first batch of naval students in the United States, it has only been a short period of six years; now, the captains of many capital ships in the Northeast Navy are only 30 years old, and there are only a handful of qualified fleet commanders, and among those few people, there is not a single Chinese, no, there is not a single Han Chinese. The Navy was not built in a hurry, and a strong army could be created in ten years, but the Navy ...... Ten years, but just the beginning.
Many high-ranking officers in the Northeast Navy are "naturalized and descendants", well, they are also Chinese! Including Li Weizhong, the commander of the Zhenyang fleet, as for the future, who will question whether Li Weizhong is not a Chinese, even if it is a Japanese ...... No, Japan has disappeared, and there will only be "four provinces in the east" in the future.
As for Li Weizhong, he was only born in the four provinces of Dongying, he is Chinese, there is no doubt about it! Who in history has ever questioned that Gao Xianzhi is not a Tang person? Not a famous general of the Tang Dynasty?
Tang Haoran didn't realize that his casual words laid the foundation for the future command theory of the navy. The reason why he said this was only to say a principle, the most basic principle of war, and he could not let a layman guide an insider, let alone let a group of people meddle in the front line and make irresponsible remarks on the issue of the front line.
"Teacher, Chief Li, it's really a blessing for them to be able to meet you!"
Han Che said sincerely: In the selection of the Zhenyang fleet, the Admiralty has always said that it wants to "take down" Li Weizhong and "replace him with an upright Chinese", but the teacher supports Li Weizhong from another standpoint, of course, the fundamental premise of all this is that there is no more suitable admiral than him in the navy. Even Han Che himself is far from being able to compare with him in terms of naval combat tactical literacy.
"The luck of three lives? Handa, sometimes, we have to learn to believe. ”
What can be done if you don't believe it? Is it possible to replace an inexperienced general to fight this battle?
"I have said that for so many years, China, Japan and North Korea have the same language and the same species, and they are one, so why are there three families, and since they are one family, then how can they divide each other? I believe that Li Weizhong will lead the fleet to win the naval battle, Handa, when will you get on the ship? When you get on the ship, you tell him that you can let it go, and I will wait for good news! (To be continued.) )
