Chapter 54: Be Confident Against a Powerful Enemy
The No. 2 courtyard of the village was next to Taiji Square, and Zhu Cijiao was clearly the operational command, so he left the square and went directly to the No. 2 courtyard.
Although it was an operational command center, in the past two days, Zhu Cijiao was busy with the placement of personnel, and also busy with the formation of the Jiading Combat Team and the Five Elements Guard, so he did not have time to form an operational command center.
In Zhu Cijiao's memory, the enemy army would carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Southern Ming Dynasty tomorrow, in a vain attempt to annihilate Emperor Yongli and his remnants in the poor mountains and bad waters at the junction of Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou.
Today, Zhu Cijiao came here to take care of the affairs of the headquarters, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
At this time, the No. 2 courtyard was empty, and there was not even a person running errands, just at this time, Zhang Yi passed by the door, ready to go to the No. 1 courtyard.
"Zhang Da, you come to the combat headquarters on duty, and the headquarters will be formed immediately." Zhu Cijiao intercepted Zhang Engraved.
"Okay, Prince, anyway, there's nothing important over there in Courtyard 1." Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi happily followed Zhu Ciyi into the No. 2 courtyard.
After entering the No. 2 courtyard, Zhu Cijiao found that the facilities inside were completely arranged according to the war room, with complete tables and chairs in the rectangular conference room, and a military map hanging on the wall in front of him.
"Prince, you are too well prepared, the facilities are all perfect." Zhang Yi said with emotion.
Zhu Cijiao nodded in acquiescence, then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Lord Zhang, please make a trip, and inform my father and sister to come here quickly on the 6th and 29th." ”
"Yes, Prince." Although Zhang Yi is a minister, he is also happy to do something for the prince at the critical moment of life and death for the imperial court.
As soon as Zhang Yi came out of the courtyard, Zhu Cijiao stood in front of the door and blew two whistles, one was the convening whistle of the captain of the Jiading clan, and the other was the convening whistle of the captain of the Five Elements Guard.
At that time, there were no telephones, and the informant had to run on his feet, which was too inefficient, and when the team and guard were formed, Zhu Cijiao taught the captains to listen to the convocation of the team and the guard to gather the whistle, and asked them to hear the whistle and come to gather in five minutes.
A few minutes later, the five team captains and the five guard captains rushed to the combat headquarters one by one, and when Zhang Yi, Zhang Yin, and Buck Hua arrived, the ten captains were already sitting neatly in the conference room.
"Alas, today's combat command headquarters was set up one day, and there was not even a person to serve tea and pour water, I'm sorry everyone, everyone wait a while, I'll get you some tea and drinks."
Zhu Cijiao went out as he spoke, and arrived at warehouse No. 36 in a minute using the invisibility technique, picked out a black tea drink, and flashed back.
In just three minutes, a black tea drink was placed on the conference table, and buckwheat took the initiative to distribute the drink to everyone.
"I now announce that the Yongli Imperial Court Operational Command has been established today, and the personnel of the command are composed of those present." Zhu Cijiao took a sip of black tea and continued.
"I am the commander, Zhang Yin is the staff officer, Zhang Yi is the deputy commander, the five captains of the Jiading Clan, the five captains of the Five Elements Guard are members, and Buck Hua is the liaison.
"Good!" Zhang Yi took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded.
Zhu Cijiao, who has a master's degree in strategic management, knows that in order to fight a battle well, strategic deployment, tactical drills, and pre-war mobilization are indispensable, and the command headquarters is to exercise overall command over the entire campaign.
"According to the information I have, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, 20,000 enemy troops will carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of Longying where we are from the north, east, and south. Zhu Cijiao handed over the task to everyone.
"20,000 enemy troops, we only have 2,000 families, how can we fight this battle?" Zhang Yin did not publish a high reference, but shook his head and sighed.
"This battle really can't be fought, tomorrow morning the enemy army will come to encircle and suppress, according to me, now quickly organize an evacuation, thirty-six plans, go for the best plan." Zhang Yi also has no high opinions.
"Go, it's impossible, if you want to go, you left two days ago, the reason why we stay here is to implement the strategy of fighting to nourish the war, don't forget."
As soon as the idea of "leaving" came to mind, Zhu Cijiao immediately dispelled everyone's idea of escaping.
The ten captains of the Jiading clan and the Five Elements Guard, they have all just become captains, and they have never considered such a big thing, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say at all.
"Senior brother, no matter how you fight this battle, it is estimated that only you can break this game! You just go straight to the deployment! Don't waste time. "Buckwheat is quick to talk and straight to the point.
"Then I'll tell you what I think." Zhu Cijiao stood up, picked up a bamboo pole leaning against the wall, and walked to the map hanging on the wall as he spoke.
"Look, we are in this place now, 20,000 enemy soldiers are divided into three routes, from here, from here, from here, encircled and suppressed us, we 2,000 families, here to resist the enemy, at most half an hour, everyone is annihilated." Zhu Cijiao pointed to the map with a bamboo pole and said.
"Our strategic goals are two, one is to escort the emperor and ensure the absolute safety of the emperor; The second is to destroy the enemy's living forces and intercept the spoils of war. ”
"The more dangerous the place, the safer, in order to achieve the first strategic goal, the emperor, ministers and their families will stay behind to guard Long Ying, and the Five Elements Golden Guard and Earth Guard will stay to guard the driver."
"In order to achieve the second strategic goal, we will form 26 domestic squads into five action teams to implement the tactics of leading forward, intercepting behind, cutting in the middle, and responding to the side."
"Leading, that is, using two action teams to lead the enemy's nose and lead them into our ambush area, so as to create conditions for the 'rear interception'."
"Rear interception, that is, to use three action teams to set up several ambushes, intercept the enemy's follow-up troops, and eat the enemy in small pieces."
"Medium beheading is to take advantage of the advantages of convenient action, flexible mobility, and strong concealment of the Five Elements Guard, and with the help of the special environment of the mountain, to carry out the decapitation operation of the enemy generals."
"Side-by-side response is a covert movement of the action team, and at a critical time, it flexibly cooperates with the main action team to achieve the goals of the strategic department."
Zhu Cijiao spoke dryly, and everyone listened to it with relish, so he took a sip of black tea and continued.
"Please listen, please take the first and second action teams with Lord Zhang Yi, rush here before dawn tomorrow (on the way to Long Ying and Guishun) to lay an ambush, and when two-thirds of the enemy army has passed, carry out a rear interception, use artillery bombardment and arrow rain, and eat one-third of the enemy."
"Before dawn tomorrow, the five elements of the wooden guard and the water guard will rush here (Guishun) and here (on the way from Guangnan to Zhen'an) to ambush, after the first and second action teams carry out the rear interception, the enemy army is bound to withdraw reinforcements, at this time, the wooden guards who are ambushed in Guishun take advantage of the chaos to carry out the decapitation operation, quickly cut off and retreat, and hide on the spot."
"I will lead the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Action Teams to rush to Setuan at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to pass by the enemy, lead the enemy's 3rd Route Army to Quang Nam, and make a detour to Guishun halfway, bringing the enemy into the ambush area of the 1st and 2nd Action Teams."
"After the 1st and 2nd action teams ate the enemy's follow-up troops, they quickly fled in the direction of Zhen'an, and the enemy was bound to chase after them.
"When the enemy turned back to pursue and kill the 1st and 2nd Action Teams, the 345th Action Team turned around and chased the enemy troops, creating an extraordinary situation in which the enemy was attacked in the rear and front, and occupied Guishun when they pursued to Guishun."
"Is this clear?" Zhu Cijiao asked loudly.
"Hear me." Everyone also replied loudly.
"Then, according to the strategic deployment, the personnel of the first to fifth action teams will be transformed, and the ammunition and weapons will be issued immediately."
After Zhu Cijiao finished speaking, he leaned the bamboo pole against the wall, looking confident, looking very handsome.
