1921 The Empire's Counterattack (5)
The wind is blowing, and the mountains in the south of Gangfei are full of new green shoots, and the military flag of the Falcon Imperial Army makes a crackling sound in the wind, and the 40,000 imperial troops that broke into the south of Gangfei have taken two strategic advance points close to the south one after another after capturing the key road Muyabao, but the Gangfei blocking force in front has also changed, and they have taken the initiative to abandon some unimportant fronts, and have arranged about 60,000 heavy troops in the middle of the mountain range with the Bawuni Fortress as the core, posing a transformation from scattered defense to key defense, like a huge barrier blocking the front of the Falcon Imperial army,
In the mountainous area where the Falcon Army broke into the southern part of the Gangfei combat base camp, Hu Keqili, the central general of the empire, who arrived as the second batch of support of the Central Army, excitedly opened the fat man's tent with an urgent report and reported to the fat man who was reviewing the battle map." Your Majesty, good news, today, as expected, the Gangfei people really did as expected, and when they learned that the main force of our army was exhausted and Putao was empty, they mobilized about 60,000 elites, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the main force of our army was not in Putao to take the area of strategic importance to us and Gangfei people in one fell swoop."
"Sixty thousand, the last force that Gangfei people can desperately bet on!" The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, "I only wanted to lift 30,000 people to the sky, but I didn't expect to hang up 60,000 people from Gangfei at once!" The fat man withdrew his gaze from the map, raised his head, and was slightly stunned, and did not see the anxiety on his face that he might be cut off, but smiled with a relaxed look. It seems that there are still a few ambitious guys in the Gangfei army, we have transferred the main force of the imperial army from the Putao area, and we have also launched an active attack with inferior forces, if the other party can't even see such a big gap, it will be too much to live up to the laborious performance of my emperor!"
Hu Keqili said happily, "It's still Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, these 60,000 people are the last cards that the Gangfei people were originally going to mobilize in the southern battle" "The total of 200,000 troops in the south of Gangfei is secretly arranged as a reserve force, which is really impressive. If you are caught off guard, even I will be very tricky!" the fat man smiled slightly. Fighting on the enemy's home turf, it is always necessary to reserve a small number of troops at any time to deal with the counterattack launched by the opponent with superior forces, which has always been a headache, but now it is okay, the opponent will reveal all the hole cards at once!"Your Majesty, what now?" Hu Keqili hesitated and asked, "Although strategically, using the Putao area as a bait to attract all the reserve forces of the Gangnon people, so as to reduce the gap in the strength of the two sides, but the increase is twice as much as the estimated strength." It is estimated that there will be a lot of pressure on Varisian, who guards the Putau,
"After all, he only has 10,000 men under his command, and even if you add Putao's own 20,000 troops, its total number is only half of the Gangfei army!" Hukochili touched his chin, his eyes were a little solemn, "Don't worry, I already gave Valisian the order to do his own thing when I left" The fat man waved his hand, and said with a flat face "If the enemy has too many troops, if necessary, you can abandon most of the area." It is only necessary to stick to the area where the fleet port is located, and if it is still unable to resist, it will be withdrawn to Huacheng Island, which has been expanded for several months, and there is no navy for just non-people. Unless they grow wings and fly over!" "Your Majesty is going to give up Putao?" Hu Keqili's eyes widened when he heard this, Putao is the support point of the empire's maritime strategy, could it be that His Majesty just gave up?"Give up? No, the importance of the Putao coast to the empire is self-evident" The fat man shook his head and said, "Putao is an important connection point for the empire to transfer from the open sea to the inland sea!" It is the core of the empire's entire inland sea strategy. I just used the ordinary coast as a smuggling ground, and I didn't go on a big scale of local construction like the rest of the empire, just to prevent such a day!" Your Majesty had already made such a decision?" Hukochli was thoughtful, a little startled by what he said. This sentence of the Falcon Majesty Xià is bland with a strong bloodiness that cannot be dissolved, a word of prevention, that is, His Majesty has already had the idea of making Putao a decisive battlefield at that time, "good" The fat man laughed unabashedly, he did start digging a pit for Gang Fei Ren since the last time he moved to Beijing, and he thought that he had no chance to use it, who knew that this time he was accidentally hit,
He drew a circle on the map with his hand, and said in a sharp tone, "In terms of combat position, Putao is too close to the Gangfei Empire, so once we start a war with Gangfei, Putao must be the best battlefield, because this is a thorn in the heart of Gangfei people, and it is also a turning point for the Gangfei Empire to change its life and decline!"
Hu Keqili nodded secretly when he heard this, and looked at the map on the table, "Do you know why I want to make Putao a smuggling distribution center?" The fat man's voice paused, with a hint of chill in his tone, and said, "Why does the empire turn a blind eye to some violations of the rules of the Putao nobles?" The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched, "If I hadn't deliberately pretended not to see, those so-called Putao radicals would have to be washed in blood at least once according to the rules of the previous empire!" Shunchang rebelled, when did the empire's war knife become frustrated!" "Then His Majesty did it on purpose?" Hu Keqili's spine lit up as he listened
"Intentionally, of course!"
The fat man nodded, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "There is a proverb called a leaf that covers the eyes and does not see the mountains, this winter is too difficult for the Gangfei people, lost the northern foundation, the 1.12 incident broke out, and now we are still fighting on the southern coast of Gangfei"
"For the Gangfei court, which urgently needs a large amount of wealth to fill the financial void, Putao is a golden leaf that shakes the eyes of Gangfei, and it is also an area that has been humiliated!"
The fat man stretched out his hands, looked at the blue sky outside, and said coldly. Just look at it, this time the Gangfei army raided the Putao area, it will definitely not adopt the soft policy that failed before, in order to grab the wealth in the shortest possible time, it must be to use the most violent means to scrape the ground, starting from the place of entry, there will be a bloody road behind, the Putao people will hesitate from the beginning, become completely broken with the Gangfei people, those radical Putao nobles have not always been dissatisfied with the imperial occupation, let them know now, if there is no empire behind them, they are just the target of slaughter, and they don't even have the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction"It turns out that His Majesty has long planned to use Putao as bait?"
Hukochili listened with a blank expression, feeling pity for the nobles of Putao. It is no wonder that after taking control of the Putao, His Majesty reversed the previous practice of occupying a place and vigorously relying on infrastructure construction, only expanding a few overseas ports in the Putao area, and reinforcing Lisbonto as a strategic land point.
For those popping nobles, His Majesty is surprisingly tolerant, and some excessive actions turn a blind eye,
Indeed, there was no need to bother with the dead, and I didn't feel anything at the time. Now it seems that His Majesty had actually been arranging defenses and rear roads in advance a few months ago, and only by letting Putao experience a tragic war would they know that it was their honor that the empire was willing to occupy them!"
There is no support from the Navy. When the three-hundred-mile coastline of Putao is full of gaps, put down Putao for the time being, we just need to do our own thing now!" The fat man took a deep breath from the beginning. Just non-human beings have misunderstood the direction of the war, and we have only one combat goal, to open up the southern coast" "Yes, my subordinates understand!" Hu Keqili explained the situation ahead. At present, the Congo-Africa army is adopting the tactics of focusing on defense.
Four infantry regiments were arranged in echelons to hold four small fortresses in the mountains, and two infantry regiments were backed by the large fortress of Badeni. The temperature in the southern mountains is much warmer than in the north, according to the previous climate, this is a precursor to the arrival of spring rainstorms, and the other party should be waiting for this without fear!"
"Spring Rainstorm!"
The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, yes, because of the dry winter, he hadn't seen rain for a month!
Although the troops of the empire broke into the south this time and fought in the south, although the strength was only 40,000, 15,000 of them were the most elite guards of His Majesty, and the other 25,000 people were also the elite divisions in the central army of the empire.
But the commander of the Gangfei people on the other side is Boai Kasa in the Gangfei Southern Army, this is a general who has the title of defensive master in the Gangfei Southern Army.
This time put on this posture of all-out defense" Hu Keqili said with an ugly face, not a drop of water, except for pulling out one by one, there is no other way to go, even with the strength of our army, it is very difficult to force a breakthrough one by one in a short period of time" Hu Keqili's eyes moved on the map, and expressed his opinion with an embarrassed expression,
The fat man was silent for a moment, and said, "This is very bad for us, as a coastal area close to the sea, with the warm current of the heavy rain is coming, whether it is attacking us on the southern coast of Gangfei, or the Gangfei army that entered Putao in the name of counterattack, whoever can complete the strategic goal first means that he can draw his hand to give the opponent a blow in the back! Since the opponent is defending with all his strength, then we will lure them out!" "Draw them out?" Hukochili raised his head and was stunned for a moment. You said that if I ordered the whole army to turn around and return to Putao, would the other party rush over immediately?" The fat man's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth sneered
Early the next morning, the Gangfei army, who was waiting for the Falcon Imperial Army to attack with all its strength in the direction of the large fortress of Bawuni, saw the Gangfei scout cavalry coming from the dangerous area in front of them like a burning buttocks, and the scout cavalry with the frost of the spring night galloped in from the front of the slowly opened iron gate, pulling the horse violently, and the war horse let out a painful neigh, "What the hell have you done? The horse breeder took the reins of the war horse in a hurry, looked at the blood marks on the horse's abdomen drawn by the spurs, and scolded the back of the scout cavalry in distress. The scout cavalry galloped towards the tower of the fortress, which was the general's command point, and from above and down, you could see the entire mountain range, and the general's favorite place, it was said that the entire headquarters had moved up "Stop!" The guards at the entrance to the tower stopped him
;” Former army scouts, there is an emergency report!" the scout cavalry said in a hoarse voice, and after checking the identification badges, the guards got out of the way,
The scout walked up the spiral steps to the third floor, and at each turn stood guards with long axes and iron crowns.
The road in the corridor is a little dark, and an adjutant holding Wen Jiàn happened to come down from the corner above the third floor, and was hit by the scouts from the bottom up, full of "oops", the two shouted in pain, and the Wen Jiàn in the adjutant's hand fell to the ground, and the sound of Wen Jiàn landing alarmed the people on the third floor,
"What's going on. Don't you know that the adults are holding an emergency meeting" An officer walked down from above, glanced at the adjutant, and swept the ground with a slight frown, and there seemed to be something missing in his tone, which made people listen to it very uncomfortable, but it seemed to be older than his actual age, and his bloodless cheeks seemed to be too thin, and his eyebrows were still beautiful. It's just that the arrogant eyes and distorted lips that always seem to want to be above others make people's impression of him even more gray. Although people like Yang who have no chance with the honor students. Seeing this kind of show will have a prejudiced gaze
"I'm sorry! I'll clean it up right away," the adjutant who was busy picking up the papers, his face turned pale and he hurriedly said
"I'm Scout Ruud of the Former Seventh Infantry Regiment, and the Commander of the Seventh Infantry Regiment, Lord Zeni, has an urgent report requesting that it be handed over to Lord Boai Kasa immediately," Scout said, panting
"The Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Front Army, give me the report, the general is holding a meeting!" The officer stretched out his hand with an indifferent face, and the scout reluctantly handed over the Wen Jiàn tube straddling his waist to the membrane structure Wen Jiàn tube, the officer opened the lid and took out the report inside to take a look, his face changed slightly, he waved his hand to the scout, "You stay first" and turned around and walked upstairs, and after a while, the adjutant hurriedly walked down. waved his hand to the scout, "Come up, the general wants to see you!"
On the upper floor, Boai Casa is in a meeting with several generals, this time selected to be the commander of the Falcon Empire's advance to the southern coast. Thin but with a loud voice, blood-colored skin and agile hands and feet, he gives the impression of being energetic, just like his own side that could be attacked by the Falcon at any moment. Another decision of the Imperial Council was too much of a deviation, and the Empire decided to launch a counterattack against the Falcon Empire. And the commander of this counterattack was Fabougarez, who also belonged to the Southern Army,
What a world of difference!
He has a lot of opinions on the decision of this imperial decision, but there is no way, this is the decision of the Imperial Council, the imperial court thinks that the success of this counterattack may be great, the main force of the Falcon Imperial Army is exhausted, but it is all strongly contained, and the entire Putao region is completely open under the attack of the Empire, and this predictable victory is like a psychedelic drug. This sweet poison in the name of "Imperial Counterattack" seems to have made the belligerent nature lurking in the blood of people explode all at once, as a general who is good at defense, Fraternity Casa always feels that something is wrong "Are you sure the news is correct?" He picked up the urgent report on the table and confirmed to the scout again that the Falcon Imperial army that had broken through to the south had begun to turn around and retreat!" "Absolutely sure!" Scout Ruud nodded affirmatively. Last night, we noticed that the Falcon Army was showing signs of retreat, and hurriedly followed, we checked the traces of the other party's camp, and followed them for more than ten miles, until this morning, and confirmed that it was a sign of withdrawal! The Falcon Imperial Army has indeed turned around, it should be going back to help Putao! Fraternity Casa thinks so, walking back and forth in the room, is it to chase? or not to chase?"My lord, if we sit back and watch the other party withdraw, we are afraid that the troops attacking Putao will only ......" The adjutant cautiously reminded beside him, "What if it is a trap?" Fraternity Kasa tilted his head, "Increasing the number of scouts should reduce the danger of being ambushed!" The police station is a scout, and it is necessary to grasp every move of the Falcon Army, and when the other troops are assembled, we will immediately pursue the Falcon Army, and we must delay it!" Fraternity Kasa nodded, and sat back and watched the Falcon Army return to help Putao, no matter what the consequences, he would be charged with losing his head, "Yes, my lord!" The adjutant turned and left
The sky was gloomy and gloomy. A flock of birds flew from the edge of the woodland, and in the direction of the vast fields, the coolness of the spring breeze blew, and in the morning light that had not yet fully risen, the Imperial Guards cavalry lined up, the red tasseled hats on their heads scorched and swayed in the wind, the black cloaks fluttered in the wind like clouds, and the black lines of the whole team were flowing from behind these cavalry across the opposite wilderness, scattering into slightly untidy quadrilaterals, and the neatly arranged armor and bayonet spears were reflected in the faint light and shadow
"Your Majesty, will the other party attack?" asked Hu Keqili with some concern
"The other party has increased the strength of the scouts, this is the precursor of the army's attack!" The fat man patted the horsewhip in his hand, riding on a black war horse, his eyes were as cold as snow, and there was a terrifying chill all over his body, looking at the hilly roads in the distance, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly
"We used some cases as bait to attract the attention of the other party's scouts, the cavalry troops opened thirty miles in advance in the middle of the night last night, and now they are back from the halfway point, the other party's scouts are all behind the infantry, pulling out a distance of thirty or forty miles, even if we find out that there is a problem now, it is too late to report it quickly, and the other party thinks that as long as we increase the scouts to stare at our army's every move, we can avoid being ambushed, in fact, it is simply in an invisible blind spot!"
"Tata" While the two were talking, a scout cavalry rushed over the wave-like hills in front of them,
Pull the war horse violently in front of the fat man. The report said, "Your Majesty, a group of non-infantry has been found on the flank of the hills!" (to be continued......)
