Chapter 36 036 On the Journey

The train sped north.

This is the first time that Lin Youde has enjoyed the treatment of a special car - although there is only one special car.

Hybert had a very good heart to match the carriage with a very beautiful maid, but Lin Youde had no intention of enjoying his kindness. He just wanted to get to the front line as soon as possible and grasp the situation as soon as possible.

Worried about the future, Lin Youde sat by the window after the train started, and fell into a long contemplation at the night scene that kept passing outside.

Before the train departed, Lin Youde gave two instructions to Hybert: First, all his motorcycle propagandists who had already run the terrain were sent to confirm the situation of the pre-selected "fortress households" and contact points in the areas designated by Lin Youde, so as to ensure the smooth flow of information after the Republican Army withdrew from these areas.

Second, the Red Guards in the factories in the southern states responsible for production outside the military industry should be concentrated and ready to be transferred to the front at any time, and it was important to ensure that the control of these Red Guard units was in the hands of him.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Youde asked the cadres in charge of propaganda work in the corresponding areas to join the Red Guard army and serve as "propaganda officers."

Lin Youde repeatedly told Hybert that the first one is the most important thing. In an area where you have a mass base, in addition to being able to harass the enemy under the cover of the masses, the most important thing is the smooth flow of intelligence.

In Lin Youde's original world, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the war, it gradually became difficult for the two sides to form a relatively clear battlefield on the front, the era of the North American War of Independence and the Napoleonic Wars, the two sides could still form a battle line, but in the future, the situation of the two sides of the two sides on the front line has also begun to appear.

And when it came to the First World War, at the beginning of the war, both the eastern and western fronts first presented a situation in which the troops on both sides were both sides in the situation. For example, the commanders of the two armies on the westernmost side of the German offensive front on the Western Front suddenly discovered that a group of British elite rifle shooters suddenly appeared between the two armies, and they used accurate rifle shooting to make the Germans unable to take care of themselves.

And this group of British troops did not wedge between the two armies by attacking at all, they were already there, and the surrounding Entente troops retreated, and they did not receive orders.

On the Eastern Front, due to the wider battlefield and the more exaggerated situation, after the Russian army entered Prussia, there was a gap between the two corps that was sufficient for the formation of divisions to deploy.

Of course, there are also some human factors in the creation of this exaggerated gap in the Russian army: the commanders of the two armies of the Russian army have personal grudges, and Leninkamp, who commands the first army of the Russian army, watched Samsonov of the second army rush violently, fearing that the credit will be completely taken by him, plus he finds that the German army that once launched an offensive against him is gone, so he is worried about his flank. In the end, the two Russian commanders made different decisions, one decided to move forward, and the other decided to wait for the situation to find out the movements of the German army before acting.

The Russians communicated with each other in clear code, which led to the Germans being clear about the movements of the Russian army. Hindenburg immediately sent his staff officers to check the size of the gap between the two armies, and found that there was a German cavalry division in the gap. So a battle against Samsonov's troops to lure the enemy into depth began, and finally the Germans completely annihilated Samsonov's troops and won a great victory at Tennanberg.

Later, with the progress of World War I, due to the limited length of the battlefield front, the Western Front finally formed a trench warfare situation in which the troops of both sides dug trenches and fired at each other, which can be called the most bizarre situation in the history of modern land warfare, while on the Eastern Front, the two sides did not form a stable front like the Western Front from beginning to end. So all the great victories of the German army in World War I took place on the Eastern Front - this was really not because the Russian army was incompetent, but simply because the Eastern Front made it easier for Hindenburg and Ludendorff to use their military genius.

When Ludendorff began to command operations on the Western Front, his military fortunes came to an end.

As time continued to go by, into the 1930s, the staggering of the battle lines intensified, and more and more commanders found that the battlefield was no longer two parallel lines, but a cobweb composed of their own troops as points, and the communication and support liaison between the troops as the line.

Among those who first perceived this was China's later commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief's close friend summed up his military thinking, and combined it with the mass work, and the two of them led the poor peasant army to beat the well-equipped Central Army as a transport brigade.

In fact, their tactics can be summed up very simply: with the support of mass intelligence, they find a relatively lonely point in the enemy's "net", and then rush up to pull it out.

That is to say, the so-called "concentrating local superior forces to annihilate the enemy." In order to realize the tactical intention of concentrating superior forces locally and annihilating the enemy before reinforcements arrive, and to retreat calmly, the intelligence support of the masses is indispensable.

At the same time, in order to make a point in the enemy's net that can be spoken, the two also developed a tactical system that emphasizes luring the enemy deep and pulling the enemy's formation through mobile defense.

Later, with the evolution of the situation between the enemy and us, this set of tactical systems, which was mainly used for defense, gradually evolved into a corresponding offensive system. Later, on the Korean Peninsula, MacArthur was also unable to find the north, and the American troops suddenly found that the Nima retreat had turned into an extremely difficult offensive battle, and their rear was full of volunteers wearing dogskin hats.

The U.S. military learned from the pain and decided to learn from it, and began to study the establishment of air cavalry. In Vietnam, they tried it, and the effect was good at first, but later the North Vietnamese Army invited the master to intersperse tactics as a consultant, and he was beaten again, and in the later period, the American army was even interspersed by the North Vietnamese Army in various ways.

Later, the US military finally succeeded in practicing air cavalry tactics in Iraq, and the air cavalry brigade penetrated behind enemy lines, established forward bases, and cooperated with armored troops to directly attack Huanglong.

By the way, after the North Vietnamese Army defeated the American imperialists, they thought that they had learned to be a teacher, but in 79 they were knocked over by a brick on the ground, and the ancestor said that you are still too young, too simple Tucson broken.

Incidentally, the most brilliant results of interspersed tactics occurred in the war against Ah San. Pang Guoxing, the deputy squad leader, led three soldiers to run 7.5 kilometers wildly, killed the two artillery positions of the three armies, and occupied an important high ground to hold on to the arrival of the main force, making great contributions to the total annihilation of the main force of the three armies.

Lin Youde has a few examples of these wars, so he tends to be clear about the development of future wars.

Thinking about it carefully, the situation that Lin Youde is facing now is similar to that faced by the two good friends in the original world - no, he Lin Youde actually has an advantage, after all, the strength of the Republic is not so far from that of the imperial government. The only disadvantage is that there are few mountains in the theater of operations, and there are aircraft reconnaissance on both sides, which is not conducive to the covert maneuver of large troops.

Lin Youde's plan is exactly the same as that of a certain duo in the original world: lure the enemy deep, and then let the Red Guards, who are familiar with the terrain, attack everywhere, harass the troops outside the opponent's main force, force the enemy to disperse his forces, and then suddenly concentrate his troops to annihilate part of the enemy.

As for the lurking Belu Force, as Lin Youde said in his speech before sending them back, their mission was only to stir up the Red Guards who could not attack the enemy's hinterland.

In Lin Youde's set of ideas, the biggest variable is the Imperial Army's Zhanji troops. The Flying Battle Ji troops have the maneuverability of helicopters and the defensive power comparable to that of the first generation of tanks after the war, and if they were in a state where they could be dispatched at any time, Lin Youde would not be able to launch a local annihilation war against the enemy.

Therefore, Lin Youde needs the republic's Zhanji troops to fully contain and consume the enemy's Zhanji troops.

This time, Lin Youde went straight to the front line, and he also planned to confirm the situation of the Republic's Zhanji troops with his own eyes. Although Lin Youde could also try to consume the enemy by exhausting them without the help of the battle queen, it would be much more troublesome, and it would definitely cost more casualties.

Of course, Lin Youde is most concerned about Matsudaira Chihiro's injury.

Thinking of this, Lin Youde couldn't help but sigh.

"Dead fox," he muttered in Chinese, "I imagined eleven thousand possibilities, including even the situation where you escaped on the battlefield and Viola was captured, but I never thought you would be wounded." ”

Lin Youde sighed again, his stomach twisting uncomfortably.

He couldn't help but think of that day, when only the fox hugged his waist in the empty office, soothing his heart that was suddenly overwhelmed by nostalgia with gentle words.

The picture was so real that Lin Youde's ears echoed Matsudaira Chihiro's voice:

"You will be the bard, and I will be the dancer, and we will get on the gypsy caravan and go wandering."

Lin Youde took a deep breath and said to the maid who had been staying in the corner and waiting, "I want wine, spirits." ”

"Yes."

Soon Lin Youde's liquor came, and he didn't even look at the label, so he poured a big sip, letting the scorching spicy spread all over his body along his esophagus and blood vessels.

Then the maid said, "Your Excellency, you should rest. ”

Lin Youde didn't answer, and continued to taste the wine there slowly until he finished drinking the glass, and he slowly stood up and replied, "Yes, it's time for me to take a break." ”

After saying that, he walked to the sleeping compartment at the back of the special carriage, and while unbuttoning his clothes, he instructed the maid: "When you stop on the way, you must contact the telegraph room of the station as soon as possible to confirm whether there is the latest telegram ahead, and wake me up if there is a telegram." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

At this time, Lin Youde had already walked to the door of the bedroom, he opened the door, and found that the maid seemed to be planning to follow, so he said to her: "Okay, you stay outside and pass the time casually." ”

"Yes." The maid took a step back, holding the hem of her skirt in both hands and saluting Lin Youde, "Good night, Your Excellency Advisor." ”

Lin Youde nodded, and then closed the door.
