14.4 Hela is busy, and so is Lu Ming
As a guest army from afar, the Hella must attack quickly, not at a great distance from their home logistics base β maintaining military attrition thousands of miles away would be fatal to any powerful power.
In fact, the Tuobei group had a firepower advantage in the area, and the Hella people could not attack in the short term, so they had to try to maintain a standoff.
It's just that the powerful logistics make Lu Ming's series of military operations in this area easy, but the Hella people can't even maintain a standoff.
β¦β¦
In mid-September 664, LΓΌ Ming's corps continued to carry out small raids on the outskirts of the Hela, that is, using jeeps to actively release rockets outside the Hela barracks, and at the same time using advanced automatic rapid-fire firepower and precision sniper guns to engage in company-level combat with the Hela.
This war caused Akira considerable trouble. In the skirmish, Lu Ming's corps appeared very elite, and the exchange ratio was terrifyingly high. Pursuing herdsmen often suffered casualties, and then occasionally picked up a broken down jeep (which is a normal mechanical failure) with no farts on the jeep and key parts destroyed.
In this case, Akira was unable to use a large force to pursue a small force.
Because of the large troops, the number of people is large, the strength is large, and the target is also large, so when the modern corps conducts a surprise attack, it needs to establish an air defense fire network and a smooth information system to ensure that when it encounters a counterattack, it will fight back like a leopard, not like a turtle.
If Akira dared to coax a battalion to pursue a small force in a hurry.
Su Ying dared to quickly assemble forty vehicles carrying self-propelled howitzers to rush to the scene, and could start rapid fire within five minutes, and quickly withdraw from the battlefield before his fire could react. - What is the scene of forty howitzers washing the floor, naturally it is needless to say.
The concept of 'firepower response speed' was grasped by Binghe a thousand years ago.
Su Ying's evaluation of the performance of the governor of Hella today is: "Yes, it is quite memorable. β
β¦β¦
But it's dragging on like this, and it's getting worse and worse for Akira to continue fighting.
The morale of the nomads, who acted as scouts, quickly fell into a trough during the continuous special raid war.
The nomads put it mildly, all the people are soldiers, full of wolf nature. But to put it mildly, a moment ago they were still herdsmen, and they were still thinking about their livestock, and they were fighting just to grab something. They are nomadic culture, and they don't have the concept of defending the land, they can't beat it, they usually choose to migrate, the grassland is so big, why bother to die?
In the second half of September, the Tuobei group directly cut the morale of the herdsmen, and the herdsmen quietly fled with their horses, and the tribal chiefs could not stop them at all.
And this caused a fatal shortcoming in Akira's military system, and his reconnaissance system was gone. As a guest army that must attack from afar, there must be scouts who constantly 'open their horizons', and they must suppress the defenders' "horizons".
And now the raid of the elite troops of the Tuobei group has suppressed Akira's troops.
There is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this world, and the scene of Akira leading his troops to attack this time is quite similar to the dilemma of Sun 100,000 fighting Hefei.
Similarly, as a guest army, the enemy's main force could not be attacked for a long time (Akira, the stronghold of the Tuobei group, could not be attacked at all), and the same periphery was harassed by the enemy's elite soldiers, and his own morale was low, and he gradually lost control of the battlefield.
[On October 3, 664, in the defensive camp built against the mountain, in the damp cabin, Akira once again opened the battle map in front of him]
On the map, Akira transforms the map into blue and red, with the blue covering a large area, including a large number of grasslands and mountains.
The red area on the map is very small, and it is an area of 200 kilometers around the Mohe crossing.
From the map, it seems that Akira's side is still the dominant side, but in fact this is an illusion, the blue huge area, the herdsmen are still nominally obeying Akira's orders, reporting the situation to the Hela people, but these herdsmen are the first to avoid the battlefield situation, and will not report the situation until they are sure that they are safe, that is, a few hours later, and it has been ten hours after reporting to Akira.
On Lu Ming's side, the huge battlefield monitoring system can transmit any wind and grass within the control range to the general headquarters within a minute. The reaction speed of this battlefield is several generations behind the two sides.
Akira's side is turn-based command, and the Takhoku group's side is real-time strategic command.
Moreover, the red area on Akira's current map is only the area where the ground forces of the Takura Group are often active.
In fact, the aerial reconnaissance force of the Tuobei Group has long covered most of the Haobei Plateau, and even the situation of the Red Tower Fortress in Akira's old nest has been monitored.
Recently, the train carrying supplies from the Red Tower Fortress has been attacked several times, and Akira has felt a powerful noose around his neck.
And the Tuobei Group, which obviously occupies an absolute military advantage, is like a cat playing with a mouse, fiddling little by little, but it just doesn't kill it.
β¦β¦
Why is that? The camera cuts to the Mokou military base.
In the office, at this time, Lu Ming handed over the control of his body to Su Ying, and Su Ying was controlling Lu Ming to approve the official documents of this operation.
The red circles on the documents mean that groups of military personnel have made mistakes in their work, and after the war, they will have to review and admit their mistakes throughout the army. - The Tuobei Group is obviously winning, but Su Ying has turned the entire army atmosphere into an assessment.
In the war in Su Ying's hands, the military system is a sophisticated machine. The so-called army building is not just shouting slogans, and the so-called excellent soldiers are not the skills of some special forces in society. A modern soldier is able to quickly and responsibly complete professional military tasks in various positions.
The modern military system is a system of rapid and accurate evaluation of the completion of tasks by soldiers in various posts.
The modern army is based on the above-mentioned excellent soldiers and excellent systems, that is, it has an efficient grasp of battlefield information and smooth information transmission. From the discovery of the enemy, to the order given by the command, and finally the destruction of the front line, the speed is fast enough.
This war of the Tuobei group against the Hella people is now a war to be won. And in a victorious war, a third-rate commander enjoys victory, and a first-class commander seizes the opportunity to examine the exposed problems.
Now Su Eagle, the storage of fuel, food, ammunition in various regions is checked every day. - although there will be no problems at all with the base margin. But now, in the name of wartime, any small mistakes of those below will be dealt with seriously.
The defensive positions did not encounter any impact at all, but the defensive positions were repaired one after another. Train frequencies emphasize precision to the point.

Where did the people who originally came from the old army system experience such harsh military requirements
These military organizations often make "small mistakes", such as the case of military transport sequences of canned meat, but ammunition is delivered. At this time, it is obviously a big advantage for one's own side, and the redundancy of various materials is extremely high, it is indeed a small mistake that has nothing to do with the war situation. In the case of the family's human feelings, the high-level of Tuobei made a 'big fuss' about it, which is really harsh.
Lu Ming also felt a little harsh at first, but in Su Ying's repeated emphasis on discipline, (brainwashed) Lu Ming became serious and began to realize how serious these 'little problems' in his military system would be once let go.
But......
The main reason why Lu Ming accepted Su Ying's strict management of the army was that it helped him control the army more firmly.
The large-scale layoffs provoked fierce protests in the military, but as LΓΌ Ming firmly pushed forward with military reform, the opposition quickly diminished.
Because of this revocation, most of the revocation are some redundant officials, and the children of the scholar clan who have passed the family path and have not passed the assessment. The vacant seats were quickly replaced by those from humble backgrounds.
Those Scythian children have a lot of say in the army. If they were to be dismissed through exercises, they might not be able to convince the public, but now the war is very easy, but it is also a war, and if it is justified, there will be much less resistance to the reduction.
Now the officers in this group of Sisi's army have been completely dismissed by Lu Ming, which has directly dealt a heavy blow to Sisi's local forces in the army.
And through this kind of reduction (Great Purge), gradually Lu Ming can be regarded as truly directing this army as an arm, rather than just serving as the leader of the army leaders in the past.
[Su Ying finished his work today and let go of Lu Ming's control]
Lu Ming looked at the dense official documents in front of him, rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little pantothenic, and asked Su Ying humbly: "Father, are you so hard to manage the army?" β
Su Ying: "Tired? Hehe. β
Lu Ming smiled awkwardly.
Su Ying: "First of all, your system has just been established, and there is a lack of talent to fill this system.
Well, you have to put your own system in order, and when someone comes over, you can operate according to a fixed system under your command. By the way, write a letter to ask your dad to match you. Tsk, it's obvious that he owes me a favor, why do you worry about everything now. Alas......"
Lu Ming spread out the map, pointed his finger at Akira's base, bypassed the topic of Su Ying's complaints, and asked sincerely, "Father, when will we launch a general attack?" β
Su Ying suppressed his own words, looked at Lu Ming with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "War is a continuation of politics, when do you think it is best for you to attack?" β
Lu Ming: "This? Looking at Su Ying in puzzlement, in his opinion, of course, the faster the victory, the better, the more simply the better.
Su Ying shook his head: "The purpose of this war is twofold,
1: In order to subdue the Haobei nomads.
2: Completely wear down the Hela people's resolve to war, so that they can cede this land completely.
For the second purpose, we have specially prolonged the war so that they can fully understand the cost of the war with us.
In fact, when their troops first arrived, we could annihilate them with a wave of bombardment, but the Hella people had little information, so they would make strategic miscalculations, and then hold their own national strength and carry out a second wave of testing.
What about us! No time! Hela, the giant beast, we have to cut him down and make him worry, not to cut him crazy, and it is not advisable to consume him.
Okay, let's talk about the first purpose, what is the most effective way to subdue the Haobei nomads? Naturally, they have the chips they need the most when they are most in need.
Have you ever seen a loan shark in the countryside? When the green and yellow are not accepted, they lend out small bucket rice, and then return the big bucket directly when the harvest is harvested. There is still grass in the pastures, and winter is coming. Well? β
Lu Ming nodded suddenly, picked up the pen in his hand and drew a circle on the calendar.
