Dicui Island.

Tang Zheng was in the official residence, looking at the report sent below.

The report was formulated by the operational command center, and its main content was how to fight a defensive operation.

This is almost a helpless thing, the opponent's two-line army is advancing steadily, which one is not so easy to deal with, although the Chaser Light Army is strong in combat, but it is still at a disadvantage in numbers, if it starts a war in the field plains, I am afraid that the result will not be too good.

Tang Zheng can't count on others at this time, Li Wuwu has done his best, the battle in the Jialing Mountains is very fierce, the multinational troops have arranged defenses early to wait for work, and the casualties of the royal guards are not small.

The tug-of-war in the Jialing Mountains may be in the later stage, and the Royal Guard will be able to make a breakthrough, but it will not be able to end in a short time, and Tang Zheng estimates that this battle may not be finished in a month or two.

So at this time, Tang Zheng can only rely on himself.

The reports produced by the operational command center are not exhaustive, and they have brought almost all the various arms of the navy, army, and air force into full play to the extreme.

The main point is that they intend to rely on the Hao River valley as a defensive line to resist the incoming multinational force.

But Tang Zheng always felt that this method was not very good.

If the time is set back by three months, there is no problem with this method, because at that time, everyone almost did not have many missiles, and it was indeed possible to rely on the defense of Haojiang.

But not now, the current missiles, rocket artillery, and howitzers have begun to be installed in various units, and the opponent's artillery is mounted on the opposite shore, which will pose a threat to Dicui Island.

And the war should not be fought at the doorstep as much as possible, fighting here, and in the end, it is the headquarters that will hurt the most, Tang Zheng does not want the peace that has finally come to Dicui Island to be destroyed like this.

But if you don't fight at home, where should you fight?

The opposing troops are advancing along the plains, step by step very steadily, and it is no longer feasible to carry out another air attack.

In addition, there are 300,000 people on Tian Mingfei's side, advancing along the Haojiang River, which is also a problem that has to be faced.

Tang Zheng had to divide a part of the existing forces and use it for the Hetian Ming Fei Division.

However, in Tang Zheng's view, the threat of Tian Mingfei's department was not very great, and he could take advantage of the advantage of the navy to constantly intersperse the Haojiang waterway, send small groups of troops to repeatedly sneak attack, interfere with the opponent's march, and seek local operations.

After all, Tian Mingfei's inland water division still can't be compared with his own navy.

The main problem is still the Triple Alliance troops arriving from the north, which is the biggest problem.

Standing in front of the topography map near Dicui Island, Tang Zheng thought repeatedly.

If the opponent's march can be stopped and the plains can be avoided, then this battle can still be fought.

But how do you get them to stop?

After looking at the map for a while, Tang Zheng's gaze fell on a line.

This is the dividing line between the north and south of the Hanyue Empire, the line from Yunling to Yushui.

The northern part of this line is defined as the northern region of Hanyue, and the southern part is the southern region.

Running through the southern part of Dong Yue Province and the northern part of Bulk Province, the river is a river that floods frequently.

This year's situation is similar, there is more rain after the end of the world, and now it is the turn of spring and summer, and the amount of rain is not small, and the river is showing signs of flooding.

Chen Hongchang also sent people to control the river, invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and the temporary situation is stable.

After watching it for a while, Tang Zheng had an idea in his heart.

That is to blow up the embankment and cause a man-made flood.

As long as the water floods, the northern part of the bulk province and the southern part of Dongyue will become a state of Wangyangze.

There is no doubt that there is no way to march in such a place.

As a result, the multinational force has only two options.

One is by transshipment by sea, bypassing this flooded area and making landfall in the southern part of the bulk province.

At this time, Tang Zheng's naval superiority was reflected, and with the current naval capabilities of the multinational forces, it may be difficult to pass the naval blockade of the Chaguang Army, so this road is impassable.

The second way, then only to move west, through the Yunling Mountains.

In this way, the Light Chaser Army can avoid the plains and have a good time with the multinational forces in Yunling.

came up with this idea, Tang Zheng made a decision almost immediately, and just did it.

In fact, this is not a good idea, blowing up the embankment of Yushui, and the surrounding area will become a sea of oceans, which is a disaster for the people of the nearby base city.

Especially now that it is the spring ploughing season, many people have begun to farm, so this year's harvest is gone, and I am afraid that a famine will break out in this area in the future.

In the long run, there are many disadvantages in this matter, but at this moment, Tang Zheng can't care about it so much.

He has been harvesting everywhere for so long, and there is still a lot of food in his hand, as long as he wins this war, he can take the initiative to provide disaster relief and save the people, but this battle must be won, otherwise there is no need to talk about the future.

Now the march of the multinational force has just begun, and everything is still in time.

Tang Zheng directly invalidated the defense plan drawn up by the combat command center and issued an order instead.

Two field regiments, three armored battalions, three artillery battalions, as well as an army aviation regiment and a large number of engineering units immediately set off to set out for defense in the Yunling Mountains.

There are still two field regiments on the side of Chasing Light City, and the fifth regiment is stationed at the barracks base at the moment.

Tang Zheng thought about it for a while, transferred the third and fifth regiments over, and immediately marched towards the Yunling Mountains to join the large army as soon as possible.

As for the side of Chaguang City, it was defended by three battalions of the 1st City Guard Regiment and the 4th Field Regiment.

The two battalions of the 4th Field Regiment went to the barracks base to cooperate with part of the troops of the 2nd Chengwei Regiment for defense.

Although it is a little thin, the situation over there is stable for the time being, and it should not be a problem in the short term.

At the same time, he also upgraded the battalion directly under the regiment to a regiment directly under the regiment, with a full number of 15,000 people.

This unit also followed the large army into Yunling to ensure that the troops were sufficient.

After the battle of the air raid on the military port of Haiweicheng, the funds in Tang Zheng's hands dropped to 48 million for a time, and the missiles in that battle cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, there is a large population on Dicui Island, and people continue to exchange jewelry for light yuan, and they have supplemented Tang Zheng's money, and now after the direct regiment is full, there are still 50 million funds in hand.

After replenishing the regiment directly under him, the total number of Tang Zheng's Chasing Light Army reached 190,000, and the last 10,000 people reached the full strength of the brigade.

This time, Tang Zheng also invested a lot of troops in the Yunling area.

A total of four field regiments, one directly subordinate regiment, one army aviation regiment, three tank battalions, three artillery battalions, three engineer battalions, and an aviation regiment also had to cooperate in the operation.

A total of 100,000 troops entered Yunling and were about to fight the multinational alliance forces.

This time the march was carried out in secret, and no outsiders knew about this march except for the people inside the Light Chaser Army.

Tang Zheng wanted to take advantage of this time to build some defenses in Yunling to resist the multinational forces.

It took some time to build the fortifications, and Tang Zheng came up with a way to buy time.

The two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Great Eastern Ocean, under Tang Zheng's orders, began to harass the march of the multinational forces.

The members of the Marines on the aircraft carrier battle group began to take advantage of the superiority of the navy, making frequent landings in coastal areas, and then raiding the large armies of the multinational forces.

Taking advantage of their flexible mobility and strong combat effectiveness, they began to sneak up on the enemy's reconnaissance units and logistics units.

The enemy's reconnaissance unit encountered the marines of the Chasing Light Army, and it was basically in a state of being crushed.

Marines drove all-terrain vehicles and waged guerrilla warfare on the wasteland.

During their first sneak attack, the 1st Carrier Battle Group gathered 2,000 Marines and wiped out a logistical supply convoy of the Tiger Empire in one fell swoop, wiped out more than 1,500 opponents, and destroyed two munitions depots.

Not to be outdone, the 2nd Carrier Strike Group attacked Orochi's reconnaissance unit, a thousand marines, and two opposing reconnaissance companies met head-on, resulting in a fierce battle in an abandoned town.

The battle lasted more than two hours, and the marines, at a certain cost, managed to take the building area guarded by the opposing side, and completely annihilated two companies of the opposing side in one fell swoop before the arrival of enemy reinforcements.

These were the two more important battles in the early stage, and although they did not hurt the enemy's roots, they greatly damaged the enemy's morale and slowed down their march.

They frequently take advantage of the vast coastline to carry out operations, day and night, and where there is an opportunity, they will appear.

The river flotilla of the Light Chasers also joined the battle, constantly using the river to intersperse detours and deal blows to the enemy.

Such harassment and attacks around the clock have been very troublesome to the multinational force.

Chen Hongchang did not establish an inland water army, and now the navy is also completely destroyed, and there is no way to do anything about the light-chasing army that is constantly operating on the water, so it can only take one step at a time, constantly observe the enemy's situation, and focus on defending logistics.

Those Light Chasers were too cunning, and whenever they set a trap and wanted to annihilate the sneak attack troops of the Light Chasers with key forces, the other side would not come.

And whenever they reveal their flaws, they are like flies smelling blood, and they immediately swarm up.

There is no way to do this, the Light Chaser Army not only has a radar system, but also a large number of war eagles, and if one is not careful, a bird will pass in the sky, and their march will be exposed.

In this way, the multinational force was exhausted and marched with difficulty.

Originally, it was planned to reach Dicui Island in ten days, but it turned out that it took half a month to reach the northern region of Bulk Province.

Just when the multinational forces breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things would get better after crossing the water, something happened that made them collapse.

On the same night, the Aviation Regiment of the Chasing Light Army sent hundreds of fighters to bombard the dam with missiles!

From east to west, thousands of miles away, there are many embankments in the water!

It is already the rainy season, and the weather has never been clear, and the water has already accumulated a huge amount of water.

Bombed by the Light Chaser Army like this, the rushing and roaring river could no longer be controlled.

The flood rushed out of the breach and spread unscrupulously in all directions, turning a radius of thousands of miles into an ocean!
