"First of all, it's Liu Yibang's department in the east."

"Liu Yibang is the Duke of the Empire, the commander of the Royal Fifth Army, before the end of the world, an army of the Empire had a million people."

"The current Fifth Army also has a scale of 250,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are definitely not under our chasing army.

"At present, the Fifth Army is attacking Hezhou, and the progress is close to two-thirds."

On the video transmitted back by the combat command center, there is a part of the situation of the operation in Hezhou.

In the picture, the guns and cannons in Hezhou City rumbled, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The artillery and tank units of the Fifth Army formed a steel defensive line, and the infantry cooperated in the battle, constantly annihilating groups of zombies.

More than 100,000 troops continue to fight, if it weren't for the arrival of midwinter, it would have become difficult to kill, I'm afraid the Hezhou recovery war would have ended.

"Everyone has seen the situation in Hezhou, Liu Yibang's center of gravity is there, and he has made up his mind to take Hezhou before the Spring Festival, but their attitude towards us has been ambiguous, and they have not positively announced that they will enter a state of war with us."

"Next, let's watch the next video."

The second video is the situation of Liao Yucheng in the south.

This video was filmed at the Qinzhou military camp.

After Liao Yucheng returned from defeat, he didn't do anything else during this time, and he has been strengthening his military camp.

He built the wall to a height of fifteen meters, and the thickness was also twelve meters thick, which was thicker than the walls of the city of Chasing Light.

Moreover, his troops are also expanding, and now the total number has reached 80,000 people, and two separate brigades have been created.

Although the combat effectiveness of these troops cannot be too high, it is still good to defend the city.

Obviously, after Liao Yucheng failed, some of them became frightened birds, for fear that the light chasing army would come over, and for fear that Liu Yibang would abandon him, he would concentrate on building defense, and with this sturdy nest, no one could easily do anything to him.

Ning Yuwei opened the third video.

This video was filmed on the bank of the Tongtian River, on the side of the North Wind Crossing.

There is heavy snow on the Tongtian River, and the surface of the river has frozen, and it looks very thick.

The river is several kilometers wide, and the situation of the volcanic city on the opposite side is also unobstructed.

In the video, the defenders of Volcano City seem to be intolerant of the cold, and they all retreat to the city, where their ferry is now empty, as if it were deserted.

"The situation of Volcano City, you may not be particularly clear, but according to the information we have obtained, the Volcano City of Daliao is developing very rapidly, especially their military industry."

"Before the end of the world, Daliao was an industrial power, a military power, not inferior to Hanyue in military terms, and the volcanic city was a military port."

"With the addition of Hanyue laborers, doing the low-level work in Volcano City, this frees up Ferdinand's hands."

"In addition, Volcano City is located in the south of Daliao, which is still a little warmer than their inland areas, and many survivors have also gone to Volcano City during this time, which gives Ferdinand plenty of manpower."

"According to our understanding, Volcano City currently has 150,000 troops, and there are powerful mechanized troops, and the strength is second only to the Fifth Army around us."

"This is the current situation of the surrounding forces, let's speak."

After Ning Yuwei finished speaking, Luo Fei, the commander of the first field battalion, asked, "General, do we want to decide to make a move against one of these three parties?" ”

Tang Zheng nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the strategy of winter, striking a certain side and reducing our strategic pressure, this is the main purpose of today's meeting." ”

Hearing Tang Zheng's words, the venue immediately became lively.

The second battalion commander Yang Mu said: "If this is the case, I suggest attacking Liao Yucheng's department, this old boy is scared now, and he wants to shrink in his lair, compared with the other two parties, Liao Yucheng's strength is the weakest, although there are 80,000 troops, but there are no heavy weapons, it is definitely not our opponent, according to the plan of easy first and then difficult, Liao Yucheng should also be solved." ”

"And strategically speaking, he occupies a vast area in the south, and it is imperative for us to go south, and we must touch him, so it is better to strike a blow in advance while his wings are not yet full, completely solve this scourge, and open up the road to the south."

"Climatically speaking, the south is warmer than here, and it is relatively conducive to our army's operation, and attacking Liao Yucheng will not bear any public opinion pressure, after all, they provoked us first, it is better than attacking Liu Yibang, but Liu Yibang still has the orthodox identity of the empire."

After Yang Mu finished speaking, he was immediately recognized by many people in the venue, and his words were reasonable and sounded very reasonable.

But soon, objections were also raised.

Ji Yuntian, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, spoke: "I think we should hit Liu Yibang first, although Liao Yucheng's side is indeed easier to deal with, but when it comes to future threats, I think Liu Yibang's side is bigger, now Liao Yucheng and Liu Yibang seem to be a little incompatible, Liu Yibang doesn't give him any support, and he is angry and resentful in Qinzhou, I'm afraid it won't be long before he jumps." ”

"And Liu Yibang's side is different, once they take Hezhou and gain a firm foothold, the first to win the name of the prefecture-level city will make countless people defect to him, and his power will definitely expand rapidly. Company Commander Ning also said just now that the acidic substances in the air are decreasing, maybe by next spring, he will even get a fighter fighter, and it will not be easy to do it at that time, it is better to take advantage of the time when he is fighting Hezhou and cannot be separated, give him a hard blow in advance, at least to knock out his war potential and win an advantage for the future. ”

What Ji Yuntian said also made many people agree.

Indeed, when it comes to future threats, Liao Yucheng must not be compared with Liu Yibang.

defeated Liu Yibang's department, Liao Yucheng's side was not afraid at all.

However, there are also drawbacks to attacking Liu Yibang, first of all, the risk is relatively large.

After all, Liu Yibang has an army of 250,000, and if this battle cannot be resolved quickly, then the light-chasing army will soon fall into passivity.

There is also the fact that Liu Yibang is currently representing the royal orthodox army, and has not really declared war on the Chaser Army, both sides maintain a tacit restraint, and the attack will also bear the risk of public opinion.

Soon, the meeting was divided into two factions.

One faction suggested attacking Liao Yucheng, and the other faction suggested attacking Liu Yibang, each stating their own reasons and arguing with each other.

Tang Zheng listened there for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "Doesn't anyone think that attacking Daliao is also an option?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Hao of the armored battalion said: "General, it's not easy to attack Daliao, first of all, Daliao is far away, and the climate is cold, which is not conducive to combat, not to mention the danger of crossing the river, crossing the river is not an easy thing, although the river has frozen, but I am afraid that crossing the river will become a live target, and the opponent's artillery will bombard, and our river-crossing troops will probably fall into the water." ”

Hu Yuhang of the Lu Aviation Battalion also said: "Yes, General, and I don't think Daliao is any threat to us now, we are far away from each other, and I watched the video, all the people in Daliao retreated back to the city, and there was no one stationed at the port, obviously planning to winter in the city, hundreds of thousands of troops are holding in the city, we are going to attack their city, I am afraid the chance of winning is not big." ”

The rest of the people also spoke one after another, obviously thinking that attacking Daliao now was not a good choice.

From a tactical point of view, from a strategic point of view, from a logistical point of view, from a geographical point of view, and so on, what everyone said is very reasonable.

And Tang Zheng didn't speak, just stared at the video he was shooting.

When everyone was almost done, Tang Zheng slowly spoke.

"You all have a point, but now, if you take a closer look at this video, is there anything wrong?"

Everyone also paid attention to the video, which was filmed on the bank of the Tongtian River, the empty port and even the sentry tower in Daliao.

Everyone looked at it for a while, but they didn't find anything wrong, and looked at Tang Zheng with some puzzlement.

Only then did Tang Zheng speak: "You all know that it was the people of Daliao who planned the assassination against me, they failed, some were arrested and some escaped, at this time, if it is a normal situation, do they have to worry about our retaliation?" ”

People paused for a moment and felt that what Tang Zheng said was right, this is people's instinctive mentality and reaction.

"But what does it mean that they have withdrawn all the soldiers from the harbor and look like they are undefended?"

Ji Yuntian hesitated: "Are you showing weakness?" But is it necessary? ”

Tang Zheng smiled: "That's right, they are showing weakness and putting on a harmless posture of humans and animals, their behavior is to convey a message to us in a vague way, they will not come to attack us, let us not worry." ”

"No matter how cold it is, they won't remove all the sentinels, and their city is right next to the harbor, so you can come out whenever you want, so I'm sure they're playing a trick and let's let our guard down."

"As for what you said, the matter of Tongtianjiang is dangerous, you have overlooked one thing, that is, Tongtianjiang is a natural danger for us, but not for them."

"We are going to attack Daliao, Tongtianjiang can't be bypassed, it won't take long to be discovered, they can prepare calmly, and Dajiang may really become our grave at that time."

"But they won't, they want to cross the river, the troops can cross the river when they go out of the city, we don't have time to make any reaction, we can only watch them cross the river and enter the land of Hanyue."

"That's why I said they were making a play, but Ferdinand didn't know how to stop in moderation, this play, there are signs of overacting, they are so deliberate about acting, paralyzing us and making us relax, what is the real purpose?"

"I can make a bold judgment now, they may be in the near future, they will send troops to us, if we don't take precautions in advance, not to mention the Chasing Light City, the twelve bases of the alliance will soon fall!"

After Tang Zheng's words were finished, everyone's backs were shocked into a cold sweat.

If it is really according to Tang Zheng's guess, then the territory and population that Chases Light City has hard-won will be wiped out in an instant.

Being compressed like this, there will be no possibility of upgrading to a brigade.

When the time comes, in the face of strong enemies in several aspects, we will continue to burn high incense until next spring.

Speaking of which, Tang Zheng called the people from the combat command center over again and took out another video.

"This video was just shot from the perspective of the war eagle, let's take a look."

Everyone's eyes converged on the video, and it was found that in the north of the volcanic city, a large number of armored troops were assembling for training.

If it is usual, this kind of training video can't represent anything, but Tang Zheng just finished saying those words, this video is undoubtedly a certification of his words, and the people of Daliao are really plotting against him.

After watching the video, Tang Zheng stood up and drew a circle in an area in the north.

"Now, according to my inference, the battle plan is established, we will attack them without crossing the river, and we will wait for them to kill them, and this vast wasteland between the base of the northern university town and the north wind crossing will be our battlefield."

"Now convey my order, the entire engineer battalion, with free labor, to speed up the construction of the railway to Beifengdu, if necessary, can be purchased directly with funds, I ask you to build the railway to our coal mine at least within three days, to ensure that the armored train can go deep into the wasteland."

"The first and second armored battalions, the artillery battalion, the first to the fourth field battalion, immediately prepare to set off and camp in the depths of the wasteland."

"The launch of the Daliao people may be in the next few days, we must prepare in advance, go to meet the enemy, and if we succeed, we can hit them hard and eliminate their war potential."

"If my judgment fails, then it will be regarded as a winter training, all departments and units, prepare for action!"
