Chapter 294: Daman Dao recovers the battle Qi
Dammam Road was named because it is close to the Dammam Sea, but in fact, on Xu Bin's map, this province is actually the territory of the Southeast Asian countries in China in the previous life. Later, Su Jili, the founding emperor of the Longhua Dynasty, directly swept away the small countries living in those countries, and Zuihou adopted the method of immigration and relocation, and finally incorporated them into the territory of the Longhua Kingdom.
Although at present, both the Eagle and France have forcibly occupied Dammam Road on the pretext of helping the indigenous people to restore their country and let them regain their freedom and democracy. But Xu Bin knows that most of the people currently living in Daman Road are relocated from the southwest. At the same time, there are many people in the interior who are not very wealthy.
The aborigines who actually live in Daman Road now are actually almost assimilated. More are the descendants of the Longhua people who moved there when the founding emperor of Longhua was founded, so they yearn to return to Longhua. After all, no matter how much the Longhua Dynasty declined, it had ruled this Taoist government for more than 200 years.
As the Longhua Dynasty began to decline, these Europeans who drove ironclad ships fell in love with this rich southeast coastal province. Under the banner of recovering the country for those aborigines, they implemented the essence of their colonization there. For this reason, at the end of the Longhua Dynasty, there were also proposals to recover Daman Dao.
However, in the end, due to the strength of the Eagle and France, and the time period of the great wave of revolution in the country, it was finally abandoned, and Daman Road also used the form of concession to let the Eagle and France regard it as a springboard in East Asia. Over the years, more and more troops have been sent from Indochina, trying to keep it in a solid colony, promoting the common language of Eagle and France, and trying to enslave the descendants of the people who originally belonged to Longhua. This is what Xu Bin really doesn't want to see!
In the past, he had no strength and could only keep this breath in his heart, but now the East China Army is so strong that even if the Eagle Law joins forces to fight with it. With the vast rear base of Longhua, Xu Bin is really not afraid of them joining forces. As long as they dared to send troops, Xu Bin would let them stand and lie down and live. This is the confidence generated by strong strength!
In the face of the eagle country, the people first surrendered. gave up the only Jiangdong Port that was pierced in the throat of Longhua Kingdom, and the people of the French Union were naturally very angry. What about regenerative gas, they know very well that the interests of the Eagle Country in Longhua are something they envy or can say jealous. Therefore, it is normal for the people of the Eagle Country to tolerate a little retreat. After all, didn't they come all the way to Asia for profit?
Compared with the Eagle Nation in Dammam Road, they occupy the area on the side of the open sea, which is counted by the French Commonwealth. It borders on Guixi Road and Caiyun Road in Longhua Kingdom. So much so that when the East China Army began to march on the border, the French Union also quickly mobilized from Indochina. Their so-called strong support army was deployed in large numbers on the border side to prevent the attack of the Longhua army.
When Xu Bin handed over the battle to recover Dammam to Wang Zhongzheng and his father-in-law Bai Diantang, he took the opportunity to come to Shuhan Road to inspect the troops that were training there. This unit is training at the plateau. It is also Xu Bin's plan to station his troops in Xiyi in the future.
At the same time, there is another unit secretly assembling in Dongyi. By then, these two armies will be on the road. They will attack the West on both sides. Xu Bin also wants to see that the French people who are making trouble in Xiyi at that time are not afraid to support themselves in the face of this kind of situation of eating too much. What the hell will they do. After all, compared to the logistics supply of Longhua Kingdom, which is basically in place, their strategic supply line is much more difficult than that of the East China Army!
At Xu Bin arrived at Shuhan Road. When he officially began to inspect the military and political affairs of Shuhan Road, he secretly arrived at the mountain division of the East China Army on the border of western Guangxi by train. As soon as it appeared in the front-line troops, the generals of Guixi felt that this army was different in that it was equipped with weapons and combat uniforms. It's all markedly different from them.
Officers who only knew a little about jungle warfare knew that these mountain division troops wearing jungle camouflage uniforms only had to drill into the woods. It's hard to spot their presence unless you walk up to them. After all, there was no infrared sensing equipment in these days, and this seemingly simple camouflage uniform was a big innovation in this era.
For the commander who commanded this somewhat special unit, the generals of the Guixi Military Region knew very well. If Wang Zhong is the most favorable candidate to replace the veterans of Situ Baili and Du Wenlong, then the young commander in front of him will truly assume the top position of Longhua's national defense after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future.
In addition, he is the son of the commander of the Southwest Military Region, and he is also the commander of the major general of the mountain division carefully trained by Longhua State in front of him. As long as he can make new contributions in this battle, it is normal to have another general star on his shoulder when the country is founded next year.
After all, now that there are fewer and fewer reconquest wars in Longhua Kingdom, the officers who want to promote their ranks are naturally eager to make new contributions in this war. Before the founding of the country, this rank was raised as much as possible. In the days to come, it will naturally be better. Therefore, the officers and men who have the opportunity to participate in the war are undoubtedly the envy of the officers and men of the East China Army.
When he came, he had already received the operational jihua formulated by the general headquarters, and all Tie Berlin had to do was to report to Wang Zhongzheng, the commander, and then the two discussed the specific details of the operation. Strive to make this upcoming battle smoother and reduce the casualties of the troops.
In the East China Army, the evaluation of combat merits is also directly linked to battle damage, and if there are too many personnel injured in battle, the commander will be punished even if he wins. Therefore, when fighting, these commanders will make a rough assessment of the expectations of the battle, and strive to control the battle loss rate within the expected range.
The task of the mountain division, which will launch infiltration operations on the front line of western Guangxi, is to open up a passage as safely as possible for the large forces of the western Guizhou Military Region. Accompanying them in the battle were the artillery units of the Guixi Military Region and an air force unit transferred from Nanbin to Guixi.
These artillery and air forces will make corresponding coordinated combat actions when the mountain division launches a surprise attack. In addition, in the general headquarters, Tie Berlin also met with the commander sent by the Ministry of Intelligence to cooperate with the operation. In this campaign, the Intelligence Department will provide them with the most accurate changes in the movement of the French forces.
After discussions at the command, the Air Force became the vanguard of the recapture of Daman Road, a bomber formation of an air squadron. Under the cover of fighter planes, the intelligence department will reconnoiter in advance, and the logistics support base arranged by the French coalition forces in the rear will carry out annihilating bombing.
At the same time, the bomber formations will also be aimed at any of the French military camps in the area they can reach during the voyage. In short, when the French forces did not find a way to effectively defend their air, their troops could be safely stationed in the barracks. Otherwise, what awaits them will be a large aerial bomb that falls out of thin air.
Although the French Allied forces had already considered the air raids of the East China Army before the war, they really saw the bombers that appeared over their barracks and warehouses. At the same time as realizing the arrival of war, the operational commanders of the French coalition forces also really realized how fatal the effect of this air force would be on their land forces.
The bombardment, which lasted for more than a day, caused chaos in the rear bases of the French coalition forces, and as long as the military facilities were exposed on the ground, there was not a single military facility that was not attacked by air raids. As for those rear barracks stationed, they have become even more wolfy.
The two artillery positions they had placed on the front line were almost blown up by the personnel of the Intelligence Department using signal guidance before they could fire a single shell. At the beginning of this war, the French coalition forces also really realized how strong the Longhua army, which they had always looked down on, now has.
Although it is a little far away from the front-line battlefield, the Eagle Army, which is still relying on the other side of Daman Road, is naturally also concerned about this big battle that officially started with the bombing of the Air Force. Seeing that those air forces also seemed to be intent on only bombing the territory of the French coalition forces, and for them to take more threatening flights, the Eagle troops stationed in Dammam Road knew that the East China Army was warning them to withdraw from Dammam Road.
On the first day of the battle, almost all of the Air Force played the leading role, a main regiment of the Mountain Division. At the gap in the border that it already has, taking advantage of the full-hearted vigilance of the French coalition forces on the front line, it has infiltrated the communication arteries of the rear French coalition forces. In advance, a strong nail was pierced in the throat of the retreat and supply of the French army.
When the commander of the mountain division who led the team was excited, they changed into camouflage combat uniforms, after learning those reconnaissance instructors to teach them jungle masquerade. They sent several small detachments to secretly infiltrate a hundred meters of the opponent's trenches, but they did not attract the attention of the French troops in front of any position. This means that as long as they are in place in advance, they can completely take those French coalition troops who are not prepared at all by surprise.
However, this time they were tasked with the task of tying pockets, so the regimental commander who led the team was a little unwilling and withdrew all the reconnaissance teams sent. The strength of a regiment was all deployed to the rear of the French coalition army that confronted the Guixi Army. At this time, the supply convoy of the French Allied Army did not notice at all that on the traffic artery they thought was safe, there was already a regiment of the East China Army lurking.
When night fell, the French troops stationed in the rear breathed a sigh of relief without tears, and the mountain divisions that had been arranged in advance to the rear of the French army built blocking fortifications. Destroy this highway overnight. They had to get ahead of dawn to completely paralyze this main road and deprive the French forces on the front line of logistical supplies.
As for the task of their regiment, the first thing to do was to destroy this supply line, and the second was to block the French troops who came to help. In addition, if possible, to block the French forces on the front line preparing to retreat. For this war, Xu Bin's principle to Wang Zhongzheng was to beat these disobedient people a little harder.
Only let the French army know that if this war continues, it will be fought to the point that they can no longer bear it. Presumably they will understand that if they eat the things of Longhuaguo, they will still spit it out obediently sooner or later. If you want to let Long Huaguo take it back by himself, the consequences will be very serious! (To be continued......)
