285 Celtic Mountain
285 Celtic Mountain
In an ordinary house on the outskirts of San Juan, Wenxiu sat on a stool, next to his beloved sniper rifle had been broken down into parts, sheepskin carefully wiped each part, and when these were done, he slowly reassembled the gun. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
Beside them, several snipers were also sitting and preparing, and since they had received a radio signal from the Listening Wind that had come to observe three days earlier, they had been so happy that the nightjars, who had been nesting here for months, had been used for almost an hour of communication to greet each other and ask for news of their hometown.
The comrades-in-arms won again, even a magnificent victory, and although almost everyone at the time of leaving Luzon believed that the troops would win, they did not expect to win so neatly and so magnificently
The Spanish Far East Fleet and the Spanish army in Luzon did not even survive ten days before falling under the guns of the fleet, followed by the huge Japanese return fleet, which was forced to leave Micronesia but was unexpectedly met head-on in the vast sea, and not only lost all the auxiliary ships, but also lost five of the ten capital ships
After that, although the remaining five capital ships barely escaped to the sea off Japan, it was because the young master did not want to intercept it with all his might, otherwise he didn't know if he could escape.
Four Japanese capital ships rushed to the rescue, but they did not expect to lose two more when they could not save people, and the submarine force and air force that came out of nowhere attacked Tokyo Bay with lightning speed, and after completely burning Yokosuka with hundreds of tons of incendiary bombs, they also grabbed four good battleships that had been planned to get their hands on for a long time
Bombarded Tokyo, forced to sink all the warships of the Japanese Navy, attacked Hakodate at night, occupied Hokkaido, in exchange for the Marshall Islands, and then divided Japan with profits as bait, and even the small-scale landing battles that were prepared at the beginning were not fought, and Japan was forced to be blockaded for more than half a year, and had to lay down their arms and announce surrender because of famine and panic
Step by step, link by ring, it is as precise as when a few people in the Nighthawk squad move.
Think big from the small
Although many people will think that it is the battle plan designated by the General Staff, after listening to the description and sorting out the entire combat steps in writing, Wen Xiu can be sure that this plan is definitely from the hands of the young master, at least the combat structure in it is all proposed by the young master.
Even from the beginning of the Jinghai plan, the young master has been thinking about this battle plan, so he will make a warship of the Jinghai class that requires high speed and high range, and I am afraid that at that time he will think about relying on this kind of naval artillery to bombard Tokyo
Later, the intermittent blockade of Japan, the layout of Luzon and the occupation of it, blocked the Japanese fleet outside the Strait of Malacca, forcing the Japanese fleet to stretch the road home indefinitely, and wait for the Japanese sailors to be exhausted and kill with one blow
Like the gears and clocksprings in a timed detonator, the final victory is like a hand on a dial that points to the end
Because only Nighthawks like him, who are rarely known in the army, know that it seems that Nighthawks were brought out by Li Qiang, but in fact, this unit was all made by the young master in terms of personnel structure, equipment deployment, training methods and even combat manuals. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※
Many people say that the young master is biased towards the navy, but only the Nighthawks know that the young master's hard work invested in them is no less than that of the navy, but because of the unique combat requirements, it has been hidden from sight and will be ignored by everyone.
Every Nighthawk knows very well how strict the young master is with Nighthawk, and he attaches great importance to the coordination in action and the interlocking ambush skills, and this point is required to be kept in mind by everyone from the moment he officially enters Nighthawk, that is, one hit must be killed
General tasks, if it's not a good opportunity, I'd rather let it go than expose myself, but if it's an important task that affects the entire battle situation, then even if it's dead, you have to fight down
In order to meet this operational requirement, Nighthawk attaches great importance to pre-battle planning and coordination, and will even do a lot of feints and auxiliary actions, step by step to lure the enemy into a trap, up to the general
This style is so similar to the battle plan of the whole army this time
Click.
After Wen Xiu loaded the gun and installed the scope, he immediately raised his gun and aimed it at a big tree hundreds of meters away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, who would have thought that when they were wholeheartedly facing Japan, the nighthawks had quietly flown to this strange Caribbean island country full of sunshine, sugar, tobacco and coffee.
No one would have thought that the young master had already seen through the ambitions of the United States against Cuba and guessed that this war would happen
What kind of vision does this require?
Wen Xiu doesn't know, I'm afraid no one in this world will know, he only knows that the strategy and tactical methods shown by the young master in dealing with Japan are by no means as simple as humbly saying that he only understands military affairs when he usually laughs with them.
Enclosing land and making money is just a snack from the young master's pocket
In his eyes, a group of figures flashed out from behind the big tree in the distance, and the pupils that were clinging to the telescope suddenly shrank into a cold star: "Major Sun is here, everyone get ready." ”
When the nighthawks packed up, Sun Jiugong had already walked into the house with several staff officers and soldiers with excited faces, and when he saw Wen Xiu, he couldn't wait to wave his arm: "It's coming, it's really coming."
The voice made Wen Xiu's heart twitch suddenly, his admiration for the young master could no longer be described as a five-body throw, you must know that the young master predicted that person would appear in this war half a year ago.
Sun Jiugong didn't notice Wen Xiu's expression, and excitedly took out the telegram and put it on the table: "A telegram has been sent from Florida, Roosevelt has already taken the first volunteer cavalry on the ship, and they will arrive tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Tomorrow afternoon." Wen Xiu's eyes were cold, and he immediately took a map of this area from his subordinates, and immediately asked after spreading it out, "Staff Officer Sun, do you think the US army will take that road?" ”
Sun Jiugong immediately walked to the map, he was too familiar with the grass and trees on the map, he had been in Cuba for three years, not only helped Macio train a fairly good army, but also after the uprising began, the entire battle plan was made by him, the bold plan of the long-distance attack to destroy the dominance of the Spanish army along the way, so that the Cuban ** army swept the whole of Cuba with lightning speed, it can be said that now his status in the heart of the Cuban army is even comparable to Marseille.
After Wenxiu and the others arrived with the young master's order, he took the lead in coming to San Juan in advance to investigate, although he didn't know why Nighthawk suddenly came to Cuba at that time, but he still followed the order and cooperated with Nighthawk to draw a detailed map of this area, until the order brought by the Listening Wind to the open sea knew that the original goal of Nighthawk was to assassinate Roosevelt.
He didn't know how the young master calculated that Roosevelt would come to Cuba, but he felt that the young master actually sent Nighthawk half a year in advance to prepare
Now, the U.S. Navy has defeated the Spanish Navy with great effort, and has also lost two valuable battleships, one of which is even the Massachusetts, which has just been temporarily transferred back from the Pacific, so that the United States only has two active battleships left, and it will not be able to enter the Pacific Ocean for at least the next year, which puts a lot of pressure on the Navy.
Immediately after the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, which had just completed its expansion, had also landed in Cuba, and it was really expected by the young master, Roosevelt really came, and organized a cavalry composed of cowboys, Mexican descendants and students.
God, can this rabble, troops who have not received a day of cooperation training, fight?
"Miscellaneous cards to get the political foundation to show off"
Sun Jiugong narrowed his eyes, made a comment on Roosevelt's army, looked at the map and pointed to the east coast of San Diego, where the United States landed, and said: "If you want to gain a foothold here, the United States must first take San Diego, but the Spaniards have deployed nearly 10,000 troops in this area, and it is difficult for them to break through." ”
"Here, and here." Sun Jiugong pointed to the two commanding heights on the map and continued: "Elcane and San Juan Heights are the weak points on this defensive line, and the two positions are only guarded by more than 500 people in total. ”
"In addition, there is a small stronghold here in Keitel Hill, but there are less than thirty soldiers there, and it is estimated that it will not become the main direction of the US ** team's attack, so I think the Americans will definitely take San Juan to break through"
"More than 500 people, then the Americans will definitely go here, and the Spaniards are afraid that they will not be able to hold it for long." Next to him, a Nighthawk frowned, there were more than 16,000 U.S. troops coming this time, and it was impossible for 500 people to block it. ”
"It can't be stopped, but the U.S. military doesn't want to pass through here easily." Sun Jiugong also nodded affirmatively, and said: "Most of the American soldiers are temporarily recruited, lack of training, and are unfamiliar with cooperation, they can't compare with the Spanish army that has been fighting with Marceo for more than half a year, and they don't have much heavy equipment, plus there are few roads in this area, if you can use more machine guns, you can still block it for a while." ”
Wenxiu didn't have the heart to listen to Sun Jiugong's analysis of the battle situation, he just wanted to know which path Roosevelt would take
Sun Jiugong immediately put aside the analysis of the main battlefield of Spain and the United States, and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want to say, from the perspective of the situation, the Americans will definitely storm the weak Elcane and San Juan Heights, and strive to break through the outer defenses of San Diego in one fell swoop, but I don't think Roosevelt's motley army will have a first line, they are just here for a show, which can be seen from the fact that he brought more than a dozen reporters, and he is a good friend of the President of the United States, and he was once the first secretary of the United States Navy, So Shaft certainly won't really send them to the front.
"But Roosevelt had to be given the opportunity to express himself and make political capital, so I think Schaft would definitely give up this place for him to put on a show after the main battle."
Sun Jiugong's finger fell on a small mountain peak a thousand meters away from the San Juan Heights.
Hold on
