Chapter 550: Closing the Circle
Zheng Xiaobin's strategic intentions have been completed, taking Fujidao City, it will lock the back road of the Liaoxi Corridor, and the enemy will be left with Xijin and Linkou City, both of which are where the Great Wall is guarded, and even the city defense is based on the Great Wall to expand, as long as these two places are taken, the back road of the Great Wall on which the Di family's army depends will be completely cut off, and their army in the northeast will become a lone army.
Because the place where Xijin is located needs to go up the Shuangta River, if you don't cut off the enemy in Linkou City first, it is easy for the enemy to cut off the back road of the Shuangta River and trap the entire fleet in the Shuangta River, and there are too many ways to destroy them at that time.
Zheng Xiaobin has grown up completely after the ambush of the Northeast General Campaign, and that trace of arrogance has been polished clean, and his current style of acting can be said to be no longer able to see the sharpness of young people, and the strategic layout is very comprehensive.
Therefore, Bao Luyang took three battalions of the Marine Brigade to besiege Xijin City, while the remaining three battalions and the fleet went to attack Linkou City first.
Dijia army 80,000, 60,000 in the northeast, the day of the capture of the city, the loss of 8,000, and then split a number of new troops, in fact, in the northeast is really called the elite northeast total army is only more than 40,000, and the remaining 20,000, occupy the size of the settlement divided into 10,000, and the remaining 10,000, are in Xijin and Linkou two cities.
In that case, why divide the troops? In fact, when the Shanhaiguan was hit, someone went to report the news, although the Nirvana army acted quickly, but it could not catch up with the speed of the person who reported the letter, Xijin and Linkou City had already made defensive preparations, in order to block the connection between Linkou City and Xijin City, and always pay attention to the movement of Xijin City, there was a division of troops.
The troops in the Xijin direction do not have to fight to the death, as long as they entangle the enemy and make them unpeaceful at all times, without the support of artillery, if they want to storm Xijin City, even if the Nirvana army is brave, the losses will not be low, this kind of battle, if the Marine Brigade loses too much, it is another sin.
The defenders of Xijin and Linkou City have been like a great enemy, they were still celebrating the occupation of the Northeast a few days ago, and finally entered the western Liaoning Province with a bang, with a population of more than 2 million, and the entire Di family army was only 6 or 700,000 people under its original rule, and it was still scattered all over the place.
According to the rules of the Di family's army, after a year and a half, maybe there will be many troops, and they can't all be mixed up as captains?
But a few days after the wonderful days, I got the news from a herald who ran and killed a horse, the Nirvana army sneaked up on Shanhaiguan, and now Shanhaiguan has fallen, and is advancing all the way north along the Liaoxi Corridor, judging from the news that continues to be transmitted, the enemy has the help of warships, and it is only a matter of time before he pushes along the coastline to Linkou and Xijin.
The field force of the Di family army is almost all withdrawn, and now although it is also the old foundation of the Di family's army, the number is too small, and there are only 5,000 defenders in a city.
In particular, they know very well that this city wall can prevent zombies and demons, but it can't prevent humans, and under the cannon fire of warships, the city wall can only take two more hits, not to mention that their city wall is just a big stone and mud and sand smeared together, and a cannon is a hole.
Therefore, after they received the summons from Fujishima City, they laid out the defense line outside the city wall, the trenches, barbed wire, and even the mines were pre-laid, and the whole city mobilized to build official affairs, they believed that Luan Qing of Fujishima City would buy them time, as long as Xijin and Linkou were not lost, they would not be defeated.
Not only were the people of the two cities mobilized, but more than 3,000 recruits were armed, most of whom stood tremblingly in the trenches with earthen guns and knives.
But to the despair of the defenders of Linkou City, only half a day after the arrival of the news from Fujishima City, the sailing ships that covered the sky and the sun appeared on the coastline of Linkou City, and the city that was built near the sea for the convenience of fishing now made the defenders very annoyed, in this case, the whole of Linkou City was covered by the artillery of these warships.
On February 23, on the frontal battlefield, Qi Wenliang, who was the chief general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army this time, took the information that had just arrived in his hand, and said with a smile to Wang Hong, Wen Xinxin, Sun Qi and others: "Originally, they were asked to launch an attack on the 22nd, but Zheng Xiaobin, this kid, was good, he actually arrived several days early, and they launched an attack on Shanhaiguan on the 17th, and now, they are going north along Liaodong Bay, sweeping all the way up. ”
Qi Wenliang pointed to the map with his hand and said: "It is estimated that they can be stopped in Fujishima City, but with the support of the pangolin fleet, it is estimated that it will be over in one day at most. ”
Qi Wenliang, as Zheng Xiaobin's big brother, of course knows that Zheng Xiaobin pays attention to the words strange and fast in his use of soldiers, and he will definitely not make any delays.
Wang Hong said with a smile on the side: "Since Xiaobin has launched the offensive, why should we be involved in the front?" The troops are fully deployed here and can launch a general attack on the north-east at any time. ”
Wang Hong, as the commander of the cavalry, has been accustomed to a fast word in battle, so it is really boring to contain it, the Di family army only has a few hundred cavalry, and after being killed more than a hundred, he will stay alive in the city and not come out, which has made him bored these days.
"This is the time to grasp well, but I estimate that the enemy's messengers are almost here, tell the degenerate, put out leaflets tonight, so that everyone in the Northeast General will know, what is the fate of Di Jiajun now, and the printed leaflets have already been prepared, right?"
"When the two armies are fighting, the heart is the most attacking, and if they can't fight, they won't fight, otherwise once the shells of heavy artillery fall, the Northeast General with a population of more than 2 million people still doesn't know how many people will die, and the leader wants a Northeast General that is as complete as possible, not a place that has been broken."
This is something that everyone in the Nirvana Army knows, what Li Yang wants is not the broken city of the Northeast General, but the population base of more than 2 million, the human race is already very weak, and the population of the Northeast is less than one in ten now, and he can't afford to be hurt.
In the future, you will have to meet a huge number of demons, and if you don't have enough soldiers, you will be very passive in fighting.
Several colonels present also nodded, this battle, can not fight the best, people fight with people, to be honest, they have fought enough, and it is a completely unequal opponent, they really can't be interested, such an enemy, it's not interesting, this time it is estimated that it is the last training this year, there has been a light snow last night, the temperature has begun to drop rapidly, this battle, not a few days to start.
After a year of fighting, they are tired. R1148
