Act 52 The Attack Before Dawn
This is undoubtedly a problem for a long-term military camp, after all, there are entire mountains under the surface, and it is a problem to dig wells, not to mention whether there is water underground.
Therefore, Chen Tu did not hesitate to mobilize resources to connect several streams and lead them to the Beimingshan military camp. For a long time to come, the Beimingshan military camp will be an important military base.
"There's nothing going on here, so you can rest for a day this afternoon. I'll tell you about tomorrow's mission later. ”
Chen Tu said to the rat. In the past two weeks, Rat Da has basically been rotating continuously, and it is unbearable for a rat like Rat Da who has been young. For the first rat to follow him, Chen Tu still attaches great importance to it.
Rat Da, whose eyes were already full of bloodshots, had no intention of persevering, so he agreed directly. There are too few management talents in the whole Beimingshan, and for these rats who are not enlightened and are still in primitive life, the rats have to do everything themselves, which invisibly adds a lot of pressure to the rats.
The problem of talent has always been a headache for Chen Tu, the starting point of the cuckoo area is too low, and they are still in the form of a tribe, they don't know a word, and it is difficult to learn a certain advanced skill. But there was no one to use in the land, so I had to organize these people and teach as much as they could.
The military training camp is located directly at the Beimingshan base, where it mainly trains artillery strikes and the use of firearms. Time was pressing, and Chen Tu did not expect to be able to train them like a properly trained soldier, as long as he was ordered to prohibit them and use firearms.
Of course, the armored unit still has to be sent to Aipe where to use the simulated warehouse for training, as an assault force in the house regiment, it is necessary to rely on high standards of construction. In terms of selection, except for a very small number of managers who have been transferred, the others are all old members of the housing group, and these rats who have seen the world with Chen Tu are indeed stronger than other rats in terms of learning ability.
Zhulu is presiding over the construction of the Yuanjing factory and the resettlement of the new population in the city. In order to avoid huge administrative pressure, Chen Tu sent a letter to Andrew, saying that he hoped that Andrew could mobilize a few cronies to come to the city to help preside over the work. Andrew was very cooperative, and transferred several capable generals from Cuckoo City, although there is still a certain gap between these people and the professional ability of real human public officials, but for Chen Tu, it is much better to have these people to help.
In particular, for the work of the Garrison Department, there was no suitable candidate for the post of Chief of the Garrison Department at that time. Andrew recommended a rat named Luzi, who was Andrew's bodyguard and had followed him for many years and had a lot of security experience.
Chen Tu also conducted an investigation on Lu Qi and found that this rat really had the material to be a policeman, so he was immediately appointed by Chen Tu as the chief of the garrison and took office immediately.
All the work in the house city is moving forward in a slightly chaotic but orderly manner.
Of course, the outside world is not so peaceful. At this time, more than a month had passed since the meeting of the Five Great Families in String Moon City, and Tianyu's offensive had been in full swing.
Yuemo Northern Theater Command
"Are you all pigs! What to eat! 20,000 people can't hold a small Lanmu City, and if you retreat, I want you to bring someone to see you! ”
Luo Fei hung up the phone violently, the entire northern defense line has retreated a circle since the start of the war, and what made Luo Fei quite annoyed was that just now the 20,000 people of the 27th Army guarding Lanmu City were actually taken by a mechanized brigade of Tianyu. If it weren't for the need to stabilize the army's morale now, Luo Fei would have sent someone to arrest the commander of the 27th Army and shoot him dead, and the key commander of the 27th Army was still a distant brother of Luo Fei, which was really a shame for the Luo family!
However, the armies of several other families are not much better, compared to Tianyu. The army of Yuemo is still too backward, and this backwardness is not only manifested in military equipment, but also in the army system.
Take the Luo family as an example, in the Luo family's army, all the people in important positions are the Luo family's own family, which seriously restricts the development of talents. The rampant power of the family will obviously lead to the loss of talents who are not from the family.
According to the reconnaissance report of the Yuemo front, Tianyu has gathered a million fighters to besiege Yuemo, and their offensive direction is still breaking through from two directions, one is the Scunthorpe district bordering the Fergana district, which is the territory of the Zhao family. The other part is the Kotel district, the territory of the Luo family.
The other two families were geographically located behind the Luo Zhao family, and they were relatively safe. Of course, everything is relative, and when the Luo Zhao family fails, the days of the Hana and Sivar families will come to an end. So they can't stay out of it, instead, they need to give it their all.
Border of the Kotel district
As a plain, thousands of fortresses were built here early on, and an impregnable line of defense appeared out of thin air on the plain. Everyone in the Luo family's army was tense. They knew that the other side was stronger than their own, and they had already experienced that the Battle of Ferghana was completely defeated and retreated, so that there was no danger to defend now.
Luo Fei did not stay in Kotel City, but supervised the battle in the frontline position. It's an extraordinary time, and staying in Cottel City, far away from the battlefield, will miss out on a lot of important information and opportunities, in fact, several of the lords are on the front line of Luo Fei, not staying in their own territory.
"Report! It was discovered that the armored forces of the Tianyu Empire were heading towards the position of our army in Tupu City. ”
The messenger ran to the headquarters out of breath and wanted Luo Fei to report. This is the latest news from the front-line reconnaissance forces.
"How many people." Luo Fei asked.
"More than two hundred spider tanks." The herald replied.
Luo Fei waved his hand and motioned for the herald to retreat.
More than 200 tanks are all the equipment of an armored division. Luo Fei took out the battle map and marked the marching route of the Tianyu Armored Division on it. Tupou City is a plain city on the edge of the Kotel Plains, with hills to the north, which is a natural barrier against the armored forces.
When the enemy army crossed Tupu City, they were met by the Dongting base, which was the key place for Luo Fei's defense. Moreover, the Dongting base and other defense areas are in a horn trend, and if one side is in trouble, other areas can quickly support.
Luo Fei didn't believe that Tianyu's intelligence department would be so stupid, and launched an attack with a heavy defensive position.
"I wonder what the head of the Derian family thinks?" Luo Fei couldn't pay attention, so he had to ask the head of the Xivar family who was with him.
Derian is older than Luo Fei, in fact he is close to seventy years old. Looking at Tianyu's action that violates military common sense,
Derian said heavily: "This is the signal that a general offensive is about to be launched. The direction of Tupu City is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the reverse is also true, once the Tianyu Panzer Division occupies the favorable terrain, it is impossible for us to take another step forward. In this way, we will cut off the connection between the defensive positions from the outside. ”
"Tupu City is only separated from other positions, and if we don't support from the outside, it will take half a day to detour, so that Tianyu will have enough time to fire on us."
Being analyzed by Derian like this, Luo Fei's face suddenly became difficult to look at. In this way, the position is not a whole, damn what you thought in the first place! I knew that the battle line was pulled to the periphery, and in order to shorten the supply line, it caused today's situation.
"Tianyu won't give us too much time, Brother Luo has to plan early." Derian reminded.
In terms of the strength of the two sides, Yuemo is slightly at a disadvantage, but Yuemo is on the defensive. As the saying goes, if you attack the enemy by 1,000, you will lose 800 yourself. This gap can be bridged with positions.
But it is impossible for Tianyu to attack all the defensive lines, they will definitely find a breakthrough and then devote all their forces to attack in a big way. But Yuemo's entire defense line needs manpower to defend. In this way, no matter which direction Tianyu attacked from, in a short period of time, Yuemo's position would face more than five times as many enemy forces.
"Inform all the lords to convene an emergency conference call, and everyone above the general will participate." Luo Fei told the adjutant that after the adjutant received the order, he immediately went to the communications office to contact the commanders of the various defensive positions.
Now that it was wartime, every unit was preparing for war intensively, so in just ten minutes, all 78 officers above the rank of general were connected to the phone. The communication channel was very quiet, and they were all waiting for Luo Fei's deployment. Although they are not part of the army of the same family, they all have to listen to Luo Fei at the moment of the great enemy.
At this time, Zhao Liang was deploying the firepower configuration of the position, as an advantage of defensive warfare, the configuration of the firepower network can often determine the outcome of the war. When he received that Luo Fei was going to hold an emergency meeting, Zhao Liang immediately put down what he was doing and walked to the telephone.
According to the previous practice, it must be Zhao Liang who sat in the command headquarters with Luo Fei, but this time, Zhao Liang took the initiative to ask Ying to be in charge of the defense area.
However, when an emergency meeting is called, there must be important information to be communicated. The two are at odds in their hearts, but Zhao Liang will not be so stupid that he doesn't even want to listen to military intelligence.
The phone was connected for a long time, and Luo Fei's first words came from the headquarters. "From this moment on, all defense areas have entered a state of first-level combat readiness alert, and according to reconnaissance information, Tianyu's all-out attack is coming soon."
Luo Fei's tone was very solemn, obviously he was not sure that under the condition of equal strength, he could resist the Tianyu Empire army, which was experienced in combat and had advanced weapons. The so-called first-level combat readiness alert state means that they should always be vigilant, they should not take off their clothes when they sleep, and the personnel on duty throughout the day should be kept at more than half of them at all times, so that they can respond to emergencies at the first time.
Although Zhao Liang is stupid, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tianyu's general attack is coming soon, he scoffs at Luo Fei's words, if Tianyu doesn't attack, is it pulling out a million troops to come out for a walk? Zhao Liang only needs to do a good job of his own defense area, after all, behind him is the territory of the Zhao family, the Scunthorpe District.
Since he didn't know which direction Tian Yu was attacking from in advance, Luo Fei ordered all mobile troops to be kept on first-level combat readiness alert, so that they could provide maximum support to all defense lines.
Tian Yu always likes to attack at night, because under the cover of night, it can bring surprise effects to the enemy. This time, however, the time of the general attack was chosen before dawn.
