Chapter 175: The Formation Before the Great War

As Longhua and Sun each launched their war machines to prepare for this war that neither of them could lose, Xu Bin still accumulated strength in a steady and orderly manner. The 1st Division of the Volunteer Army sent to Beiyi has all arrived in Liaozhou in Beiyi for repair. In the face of the arrival of this 'friendly army', the officers and men of Beiyi also gave the warmest hospitality.

The person who held the post of commander of the first division of the Volunteer Army was Du Liren, the former commander of the New Fifth Regiment of the Xu Family Army, who could be said to have grown up from the early days of the Xu Family Army. I knew very well that his trip was not the envy of those colleagues, and he had the opportunity to expand his territory.

As an authentic Gannan person, and he is a major general of the Qingzhuang faction promoted by Xu Bin, his combat command ability is naturally not a problem. The only thing that worries Du Liren is that the cohesion of the various troops who came here and began to return one after another is not high. On the contrary, after arriving here, except for the first division of the Volunteer Army led by him, no one dared to provoke easily.

The troops sent by other warlords were constantly in conflict, and some even developed to the point of fighting groups of guns and carrying guns. This kind of internally discordant coalition can win the well-trained and well-equipped elite main division of the Sun Kingdom, and Du Liren is undoubtedly very worried. However, he also knew that not every army that came here was willing to obey the command of the Northern Army.

When the National War Committee was first established, the warlord governors of all provinces served as members, but there were not many governors who were really willing to enter Dragon City to contribute. In the final analysis, no one dares to easily put their physical and mental lives on this kind of power to participate in and discuss politics. So much so that the National War Committee Zuihou decided to put the troops sent by each province under the command of the Northern Yi Army.

Of course, the Northern Yi Army only had the right to command, and the commanders of each division and regiment were responsible for the specific arrangement of troops to go to the aid. No matter how small the number of soldiers is sent. These selfish warlords will not easily hand over their subordinates to the Northern Yi Army as cannon fodder. The precautions that should be there are all explained when you come.

Du Liren, who also entered the national war this time, was personally received by Xu Bin before he came, and Xu Bin also gave him a lot of tips and teachings for this trip to Beiyi to fight. These 20,000 can be described as the elite soldiers of the army, and Xu Bin hopes to survive as many as possible after the battle.

Because, when the battle is over. They will be responsible for the various armies of the Xu Family Army, inheriting the strategy and tactics that need to be paid attention to and improved in the actual battle with the Sun Country Army. This is the true intention of Xu Bin to send troops to Beiyi.

Soldiers defending their homes and defending the country is what Xu Bin has been emphasizing and propagating before he became an army, and this time the volunteers need to find out what are the characteristics of the strategy and tactics of the Sun Country Army. Xu Bin gave them special care. The military exploits of killing the enemy in this national war can be two more layers than the usual battle. This also means: Officers and soldiers who want to accumulate military positions by virtue of military merits. This national war is undoubtedly a good opportunity to reap military merits.

Even if there is no position for them to promote for the time being, the military merits in the Xu family army have many benefits, they can be exchanged for dragon flowers, or they can apply to add a few more acres of military merit fields to the family that do not need to pay taxes, or if the level is a little more, it is to apply to enter the Xu family army for officers and non-commissioned officer schools for further study.

Xu Bin before Du Liren's trip. He especially told him that this battle would be very difficult, and he could say that there was no backup and real allies when he arrived here, and only his 20,000 subordinates could be trusted, as well as the intelligence department of the Xu Jiajun who was biased to the north. It's time for danger and urgency. Xu Bin authorized them to save the strength of the camera and retreat. However, the precondition is that the 1st Division of the Volunteer Army is mortally threatened and trapped internally and externally.

In order to ensure the safety of the 1st Division of the Volunteer Army fighting in Beiyi, Xu Bin even sent the independent regiment directly under Situ Qingyun here. For this young Zhuang officer who had high hopes, Xu Bin also specially solicited the opinion of Situ Baili, chief of the general staff of the Xu Jiajun, when he sent him out.

In any case, the Xu family does not talk about personal feelings, but some human feelings need to be taken into account. After all, Xu Jiajun's achievements today can be said to be indispensable. Coupled with the rapid changes in the battlefield situation, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents after Situ Qingyun goes to the battlefield. If he dies on the battlefield, it will also be a blow to Situ Baili.

Faced with the concerns of Xu Bin, the commander-in-chief, Situ Baili replied in one sentence: 'Soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty'. In private, Situ Qingyun is his son, but in the army, he is an ordinary leader of the main force of the Qingzhuang faction. He should also fulfill the duties of a soldier when the country needs it. He Situ Baili was worried about the safety of his son on the battlefield, so wouldn't the parents of the other Xu family officers and soldiers be worried?

Not engaging in specialization is undoubtedly the confidence of the officers and men of the Xu family in trusting this young commander-in-chief. If this decision was canceled because of Situ Qingyun's identity and fear of danger, Situ Baili would feel unhappy. On the contrary, it will make the son who actively asks for war to complain again about his father's interference in his military affairs.

With Situ Baili's sincere statement, Xu Bin added this independent regiment directly under the command of Situ Qingyun on the basis of the First Division of the Volunteer Army. This unit, which was expanded from the independent battalion of that year, was selected and screened after several years. The officers and soldiers inside can basically be described as Shaozhuang, and every officer has cultural skills and actual combat experience.

Even those who served as soldiers were the backbone of outstanding soldiers who fought bravely in the Xu family's army. For this independent regiment directly under the regimental army, whose military skills can be said to be invincible in the regiment-level troops, Xu Bin also has high hopes for it to join the national war to sharpen it and build it as the fist unit of the Xu Jiajun in the future.

After arriving in Liaozhou and camping in Anzhai, unlike the troops sent by other governors, they really enjoyed turning their bellies and basking in the sun. In the process of repairing, the 1st Division of the Volunteer Army also underwent regular military training. As for Du Liren, who was the division commander, he stayed in the operational command room of the division headquarters, holding the latest enemy situation and battle report sent by the intelligence department.

Constantly deducing with his officers, after the outbreak of the war, they will kill and injure the Sun Nation army as much as possible, without attracting too much hatred and letting them suffer unspeakable heavy losses. Out of affirmation of Situ Qingyun, an officer of the Young Zhuang faction, Du Liren also invited him to participate in this kind of war game deduction.

This kind of command rehearsal, which is currently possible only at the military level in the Longhua Army, is very popular in the Xu Jiajun. Even some grassroots companies and battalions can make a judgment in advance based on a certain position or fortress. Then, according to the wargame deduction, the battle plan is constantly improved, in order to solve the opponent with the most efficient and excellent tactics.

The 1st Volunteer Division of the Xu Jiajun Army, which had a completely different combat quality from other warlord troops, undoubtedly attracted the attention of the top brass of the Beiyi Army. They know very well that compared to other friendly forces, they are here to fight soy sauce. The commander in front of him, who was also from the green forest, was really ready to fight.

Otherwise, they would not have maintained such a high combat readiness posture in the rear of the Northern Yi Army in front of them. It can be seen that this Xu Jiajun is not a lie. So much so that when providing military food supplies, the high-level officials of the Northern Yi Army also deliberately took care of the Volunteer First Division, which made Du Liren feel that the Northern Yi Army was at least not bad in treating friendly troops.

With a divisional reinforcement sent by the governor of the southwest of Zuihou, it arrived in the territory of Liaozhou in Beiyi. It is clear that it will not be long before the North Wing enters winter, and the climate will suddenly become colder. This will be very unsuitable for the southern army that came here to participate in the war between the wars. So much so that the National War Committee decided to immediately start a war to recover Heihe Prefecture.

How can it be said that their national war order has been issued for more than a month, but this battle has not been fought once, and if it drags on, it will make the people's hearts, which have been hard to gather, disappointed with the new government again.

As the commander-in-chief of the National War Committee, Li Shichang, who has been working hard for a while now, can also be described as a hard-working president. He personally rushed to Liaozhou and met with the commanders of the troops sent by the parties. Especially Du Liren, who was unanimously praised by his subordinates, gave more weight to the individual meeting.

This kind of performance undoubtedly makes all parties feel that the leaders of these two armies are indeed from bandits. In this case, don't forget to declare to others that they are allies who can really be entrusted with their backs. Of course, whether it can really be entrusted to the back, maybe only God knows.

After the mobilization order for the Great War was issued, the battle plan made by the General Staff of the Northern Yi Army was officially issued to the commanders of each army responsible for the attack mission. Looking at the task of the 1st Volunteer Division, which was to assist the Liaozhou Army in Beiyi and break through the defensive line of the 1st Division of the Sun Country in Heihe Prefecture, Du Liren knew that they had picked a hard bone.

The 1st Division of the Sun Country, formerly known as the Royal Praetorian Guard in the Sun Country, is a well-equipped and armored brigade with close to 50,000 men and an armored brigade that can appear at any time where the 1st Division is in dire need of support. Even if the first division of volunteers and bravers is tasked with more combat tasks. But Du Liren knows that this assist errand is not easy to do.

But in the face of Liaozhou Commander Li Shi, one brother at a time, one by one help, Du Liren also knew it. Thinking of this assist task, it should be the commander's initiative to request. Everyone knows how difficult this offensive and defensive battle is. The Liaozhou Army, which took over the main attack task, was actually a little uncertain.

So much so that when it comes to picking allies, they have the right to pick them first. As long as the commander is not stupid, he knows that among these troops that claim to be millions of reinforcements, only the Xu Jiajun and the revolutionary army are slightly stronger. The rest of the warlord troops, no matter how you look at it, are a little worried.

After all, now the Longhua Army can be described as a three-strong side by side, the Xu Family Army and the Revolutionary Army occupy the south, and the Northern Yi Army controls the north single-handedly. As for the other warlords who are not under the control of the three armed forces, all they can do is hold on to their own territory. I didn't dare to easily provoke the three strong Longhua armies, this kind of difficult main attack and assist task. Think about it and know who to bear! (To be continued......)
