Chapter 575: Battle Situation and Voting
With an uproar, everyone present suddenly exploded from the picture that was finally quiet, some people were stunned and couldn't digest the news, and some people burst out with strong sparks in their eyes. , others showed deep concern.
The cautious and conservative faction deeply feels that now is not a good time for an all-out war, whether it is from the initial recovery of the economy, or from the training of the army soldiers and the degree of run-in of new weapons, not to mention the war-weariness of the low-level people, the only thing to do now is to recuperate and restore the people's livelihood and economy.
The hawkish generals believe that the situation at home and abroad has changed abruptly, and the time to wait has not waited, to the extent that the ambition of the soldiers is gone, and taking advantage of the fact that the army is equipped with others to catch up, and the reserve of the alien is also the top in the world.
The difference between conservatives and hawks is that it is not that they cannot fight, but that they cannot go to war in an all-out way, and the best option is to take one force and storm it down, set an example for others and then slowly devour it.
However, they saw that the Standing Committee had already voted in the small conference room before, and they could only think about it according to the ideas of the giants.
"Commanders, generals!"
A staff officer raised his hand, Chen Guang looked over, it was Bai Qifeng, the commander of the Hedong Frontier Group Army, formerly the head of the logistics and equipment department of Xiaoyao City, at this moment he dared to be the first to stand up and express his opinion, obviously Chen Guang's descendants.
"Reconquest and reunification are our guidelines and strategies, but I wonder if the center of gravity of the commander and the committee is in the south? So what if the northern Mongolian and the indigent in the north send troops? According to the intelligence, they have bought American-style equipment, although they may not be able to fight us, but once the number of the opponent's coalition forces exceeds three times ours, they will not be able to hold it in the clouds, and once they are attacked by the enemy..."
"There is a division of recruits who have just enlisted in the clouds, and they are all infantry that are not fully formed, and the weapon reloading has not yet been completed, and it is okay to deal with the small separatist forces and bandits on the northeast line of the river, but it is still a little unbearable to deal with the armies of the Yan and Northern Mongolia head-on."
Lu Shenshi glanced at this old subordinate with his eyes, and the expression on his face did not change: "There are seventy percent of the new recruits in the border defense group army in Yunzhong, who are transferred to Shangdu and Huainan to maintain stability, Dong Lushan takes over the remaining troops in Yunzhong, and then replenishes the remaining troops from the troops directly under the Chang'an Garrison, and all the ten tank battalions stationed in the Yuncheng Basin go to Yunzhong to prepare for war." ”
Bai Qifeng's face was a little surprised, and then he sat down directly in the eyes of everyone who was even more surprised and did not speak, everyone suddenly felt that it seemed that the committee and the staff had already made a deployment of troops, since this is the case, what should they do, can't they be directly dispatched?
"That's it for the deployment of troops in Hedong on the northern front, and now the discussion is about the route of the southern expedition, and all of you can speak freely." Chen Guang knocked on the table and said: "Let's talk about it, this military enlargement meeting lasted for three days, don't think about anything else in the military headquarters building, now let the General Staff and the Security Bureau summarize the information for your reference, and think about what loopholes there are." ”
Yu Dun, chief of the general staff of the military department, stood up and walked to the left corner of the conference room, and the operator called the holographic map at his signal, and suddenly the depth of the terrain of the whole country and the deployment of troops on both sides were clear at a glance.
Yu Dun sorted out his mood, he was a general from Hedong, and he couldn't believe that he could jump from a prisoner to the general staff of the Qin army.
Being able to do it is simply breaking everyone's glasses, so this battle is not only about the reunification of the motherland and personal interests, nor just because Chen Guang was promoted regardless of his previous suspicions, but even for some of the descendants of the Qin army who are waiting to enter the core of power, they are looking at his back, and he has to devote all his energy to complete this matter.
"This is the troop layout of our army, there are basically no forces that can threaten Dunhuang and other places on the western front, and the troops of the northern front use the garrison troops of Yunzhong and Xingqing with a total of 30,000 people, and set off in two ways to outflank Beimeng and Yao, and force them to throw rat traps."
"After the merger of Jingchu and Xiangchu, the original 340,000 troops expanded to between 500,000 and 600,000, and the important elite troops were stationed in the Nanyang Basin - Yiling Generation, and the second echelon was Xiangyang - Ezhou - Jiangling, of which Xiangyang is the top priority, it is the gateway of the Nanyang Basin, and the two most elite troops of the Chu Army were stationed, called the Shenxi Division and the Iron Shield Army. At present, our army has only mechanized army and air force in the north, and there is a slight shortage of inland ships. ”
"And outside the Jianmen Pass fortress on our southern front is Xishu, and a considerable part of the other party's army is our former veterans who followed Bai Mingyang southward, and they are very familiar with our combat mode and command system, and the population base of Xishu is now 20 million, and the standing army is 600,000, and they can sign millions of troops in an emergency, although Liangzhou and Jianmen Pass fortresses are in our hands, but it is not a simple matter to take Xishu."
After Yu Dun's introduction, he pointed to Xishu, Chudi and Qingdu to draw a circle, and said coldly: "There is news that these three have completed the strategic alliance, once we send troops to any force, the other two forces will follow suit, so this time it is actually our one-on-three war, 670,000 against nearly 3 million troops." ”
Everyone stared at the deployment of troops on the holographic map, bowing their heads from time to time to make marks, Dong Lushan said slowly: "You can directly send troops to Xishu, without the Jianmen Pass Fortress, the central and western parts of the Xishu Basin are a flat river, and it is not enough for our air force and tanks to overwhelm it." ”
Another staff officer said slowly: "If you concentrate your forces to recover Western Shu, then who will defend against the Chu army on the front line of Huainan?" When the time comes, when they take the Shangdu, do we want this group of people to enter Tongguan again? ”
"Then fight the Chu army first, try to deceive them into a decisive battle in the Nanyang Basin, and then turn around and enter Shu from Yiling."
"Can you fight the Chu army first, is it difficult to ensure that the Shu army does not take the opportunity to attack the Jianmen Pass fortress and the Hanzhong Basin?"
Dong Lushan stared at the staff officer with wide eyes and scolded: "This can't do this, that can't do it, are you here to raise the bar!" ”
"Dong Lushan!" Chen Guang raised his voice and said: "When discussing the key points of dispatching troops, we should discuss matters on a case-by-case basis, and don't play tricks at military meetings." ”
Suddenly, the rebellious Dong Lushan sat down like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, pressing the seat to creak, Chen Guang then slowly spoke: "The East Vietnamese Army in the south will send troops to Qutang Gorge on the eastern front of Qingdu to contain a part of the troops, and there are two plans originally formulated, I tend to first garrison the Jiangjiang fortress to deter Xishu, and then really focus on attacking the Chu army, first take the Nanyang Basin and the Yiling line, and then make adjustments according to the changes in the battle situation; Another plan was to use only a small number of elite troops to deter the Chu army from going north, and the rest of the troops would cross the Jianmen Pass fortress to take Xishu, and then join forces with the East Vietnamese army to encircle Qingdu. ”
Chen Guang said: "These two plans were discussed at the military enlargement meeting, and everyone voted on the third day. ”
