Chapter 417: Plan and then act, you will defeat the enemy

Before fighting against Japan, let's talk about the composition of the personnel of the Joint Operations Command.

Marshal: Tian Xiaoer (Chinese)

Deputy Marshal: Dongfang Bufu (Chinese), Huo Dongyang (North Korea)

Strategists: Wang Xiaoyong (Chinese), Li Guo (North Korean)

Main generals: Chen Yucheng, Luo Xuan, Lu Qingtian, Li Kaifang (Chinese), Li Yuanpei (North Korean)

The Joint Command will lead all the Sino-Korean forces to fight against Japan.

The Joint Command will be accountable to King Lee Won-tong of Joseon and Emperor Huang Wook of the Chinese Empire.

The formation of the joint command indicates that the prelude to the war against Japan has finally begun.

The huge fighter plane began to spin at high speed.

According to intelligence, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions led by Jisi Songyin and Obokuritsu had set out from Seoul and attacked Pyongyang along the eastern front, and had now occupied Kaesong, about 120 kilometers from Pyongyang, and the vanguard was less than 60 miles away from Pyongyang.

The Japanese army's three-way army has been invincible and invincible some time ago, so there is a lot of arrogance in the army, and most of the Japanese army thinks that in another three days, they will drink the Yalu River.

It's just that they may not have expected that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army to aid Korea has already arrived in Korea, if they knew this, maybe they would be careful and would never be so greedy for merit.

However, it is precisely in this way that the Sino-Korean coalition forces have been given the opportunity, so that the Sino-Korean coalition forces can take this opportunity to teach these arrogant Japanese a good lesson, and also let them suffer a secret loss, which can be regarded as their own way. He also treated his people, and avenged them for attacking North Korea without declaring war, and first collected some interest for this.

This time, the Sino-Korean coalition forces had to deal with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions of the Japanese army led by Yoshishi Shoin and Obokutotsu

After figuring out the movements of the Japanese army and clarifying the target to be dealt with, Tian Xiaoer held the first operational meeting after the Taiping Army arrived in Pyongyang at the joint headquarters.

The meeting was attended by all the generals of the joint command.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to lead the Korean Guards Corps to defeat the invading enemy." As soon as Li Yuanpei sat down, he shouted that he wanted to lead the army to attack, and it seemed that his fighting spirit was high.

Tian Xiaoer smiled slightly, pressed his hands down, and said, "General Li, don't be impatient, let's listen to everyone's opinions first, and then make a decision."

"Yes." Although he was a little reluctant, Li Yuanpei still had to listen to the commander's order.

Tian Xiaoer looked at Li Yuanpei again, smiled, and said to Wang Xiaoyong: "Xiaoyong, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Among these people, Wang Xiaoyong is the most important in terms of wisdom, so what Tian Xiaoer attaches the most importance to is Wang Xiaoyong's opinion.

"Since the success of the Japanese army's sneak attack, it has won successive battles, rarely encountered opponents, and its arrogance has been praised, as the old saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, as long as we make a fuss about this arrogant word, it will not be difficult to defeat Japan." Wang Xiaoneng has already become a bamboo in his chest, and what he said is also the key point of the Japanese army.

"Strategist, how should we do this?" Li Guo next to him took over the conversation and asked.

In North Korea, Li Guo is wise and scheming, which is well-known, but he has heard the name of the Heavenly King Xiaoyong countless times, and he also knows that Wang Xiaoyong is a famous capable minister under the emperor of the Chinese Empire, with outstanding talent and is very liked by the emperor, and Wang Xiaoyong's identity is also very special, he is also the brother of Huang Xu, the current emperor of the Chinese Empire. But this Li Guo is just a high-minded person. People who don't want to bow their heads lightly, he has already saved the heart of comparing with Wang Xiaoyong in his heart, so he is very attentive to everything Wang Xiaoyong says, he is looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity to overpower Wang Xiaoyong.

"We sent an army forward to lure the enemy, deliberately showing weakness, only defeat, not victory. Let the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps detour in advance to ambush on both flanks of the enemy's expected route, and the Eighth Army Corps will prepare to intercept the enemy's rear route. And so it goes. After the enemy was lured into the ambush circle, the Eighth Army suddenly struck out, copied the enemy's rear road, and ambushed the sixth on both sides. The Seventh Army also took advantage of the situation and attacked the enemy unprepared, while the army that was previously responsible for luring the enemy reflexively killed back, besieging on all sides, and giving the Japanese army an urn to recruit turtles. In this process, luring the enemy, ambushing, and copying the back road must find the right time, cooperate properly, and interlock, then this plan can be successful. Wang Xiaoyong told his own strategy.

"Wonderful, wonderful! What a brilliant plan!" After hearing this, Tian Xiaoer shouted.

If it is a clever plan, the North Korean side such as Huo Dongyang and others nodded frequently, although Li Guo felt a little comfortable, but he also had to admit that this was a clever plan.

"What about the last general, strategist, marshal, you haven't said what our Guards Regiment is doing." Li Yuanpei's face was full of anxiety and couldn't help but say.

"Please General Li lead the army to defend the city." Tian Xiaoer said with a smile.

This Li Yuanpei is really anxious.

"No, no, some time ago, I retreated, this is not easy to get a good battle to fight, marshal, but you let the last general defend the city, the last general will not do it, the last general will not defend the city, or so, you leave a Taiping army legion to defend the city, replace my guard corps to kill the enemy." Li Yuanpei listened to Tian Xiaoer's words of defending the city, and shook his head, he felt that this arrangement was too bad, how could he defend the city, he had to go to the front line to kill the enemy, and he didn't do anything about defending the city.

"Okay, the general's courage is commendable, then I want to ask the general, does the general think it is important to kill the enemy, or is it important to defend the city?" Tian Xiaoer asked again.

"Of course, both are important." Li Yuanpei thought for a while and said.

"Since both are important, why can't the general defend the city?" Tian Xiaoer said deliberately.

"It's too boring to defend the city, and it's still not as interesting as killing the enemy." Li Yuanpei said happily.

This guy is really straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush at all.

"Who said you can't kill the enemy if you defend the city?" Tian Xiaoer still said with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to not kill anywhere else." Li Yuanpei's crooked reasoning is really a lot.

"General Li, you really have a lot of rules." Tian Xiaoer spread his hands and said.

"Marshal, look, this time you can be accommodating, so that the last general can have a good time, the last general has been suffocated for a long time." When Li Yuanpei said this, he became sad.

"Haha, okay, General Li, let me tell you the truth, in this battle, you not only have to take on the important task of helping to defend the city, but also have the responsibility of going out of the city to kill the enemy." Tian Xiaoer laughed and said.

"Can you kill the enemy? Really, that's great, then the marshal gives the order." Li Yuanpei heard that he could go out of the city to kill the enemy, not to mention how happy he was, and he couldn't help but laugh when he looked eager to try.

"General Li, you are responsible for leading 50,000 guards out of the city to lure the enemy, only defeat, not victory." Tian Xiaoer admonished.

"Only defeat, not victory? What kind of battle is this?" Li Yuanpei couldn't figure it out a little, this battle could still be fought like this.

"Yes, only defeat, not victory, if you are not defeated, then how can the enemy honestly enter our ambush circle?" Tanaka dialed at two o'clock.

"That being said, but does this have to end?" Li Yuanpei looked reluctant.

This kind of good thing, it's better not to let him go, or to change someone, Li Yuanpei thought.

"Except for General Li, no one can take on this role." Tian Xiaoer shook his head first, and then affirmed the authenticity.

"Alas, the last general is really miserable." Li Yuanpei couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Tian Xiaoer and the others wanted to laugh when they saw Li Yuanpei's expression, but they tried their best to hold back, and after a while, Tian Xiaoer continued: "After the Eighth Army intercepts the retreat of the three Japanese army corps, it will send you a signal, and you will turn over and kill back and encircle the Japanese army with the sixth, seventh, and eighth army corps."

After Tian Xiaoer finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuanpei with a smile.

"What, what, that means that the last general will be able to kill it with a heart's content, great, really good." When Li Yuanpei heard this, he understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"General Li, remember, if you fail to lure the enemy, you will be credited, and if you succeed in luring the enemy, you will be credited with a great achievement." Tian Xiaoer added.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Li Yuanpei said loudly.

With this kind of good thing, Li Yuanpei is full of energy, how can there be a reason that he can't complete the task.

"Okay, Marshal Nahuo, then please lead the remaining 150,000 guards to defend the city and serve as the general reserve, and if necessary, give enough support to the army outside the city." At the end, Tian Xiaoer added another sentence.

"Ordered." Huo Dongyang received the order.

"Okay, that's the specific deployment, if you don't have any opinions, then go separately to prepare, and after an hour, the army will start according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes. In addition, please remember that this is the first time that the coalition forces have fought in battle, and we must win the battle." Tian Xiaoer said in a loud voice.

"Yes, according to the marshal's orders." The crowd shouted in unison.

An hour passed quickly, and as soon as the time passed, the Sino-Korean coalition army set off according to the plan made in advance.

The 6th and 7th Army Corps of the Taiping Army were responsible for penetrating the flanks of the three major Japanese army corps in a roundabout way, and then ambushed the enemy on the road that the enemy must pass, while the 8th Army Corps had to go around behind the enemy to take the enemy's rear road, and Li Yuanpei led the Guards to lure the enemy.

Whether this battle can be successful depends on whether the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps can enter the ambush position in time, whether the Eighth Army can accurately intercept the retreat of the Japanese army, and whether the Guards can successfully lure the enemy.

This qiē arrangement is easy to say, but it is a bit difficult to do.

Including Tian Xiaoer, all the soldiers who participated in the war were a little apprehensive in their hearts, after all, this was the first battle against the enemy, and because it was the first battle, they could only win, not lose, and victory could hit the enemy's arrogance and boost the morale of the Sino-Korean coalition army.

Either way, success or not, it won't be long before the real chapter will be seen. (To be continued......)
