Qiming 1158

Chapter 1650 Assault on Ping An Jing

The rushing army is a beheading army and an important part of the entire strategic plan.

Xin Qiji believed that the time for the Ming army to fight all the way would not be too fast, and as a leader of the central government, Ping Qingsheng had a certain ability to mobilize. Once he mobilized too many troops, the Ming army would have to pay a big price. to win.

In order not to give Ping Qingsheng time to mobilize the main force of the army to resist the Ming army, and to avoid the possible large number of casualties of the Ming army, Xin Qiji decided to send a [-]-strong cavalry under the cover of the navy from Dahuantian while the battle was on the western front. Park landing.

The mission of this unit is to break through the Setsu Kingdom, directly threaten Heianjing, force the transfer of the Japanese leadership, or cause it to fall into a certain degree of chaos, and even worse, directly destroy them.

Ping'anjing is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and protected by natural hazards. Only the side facing Setsu Kingdom has its gate open for easy access, and the terrain is very advantageous.

Of course, as long as the country of Setsu is conquered, it will be possible to reach Heianjing without hindrance.

Xin Qiji believes that the best outcome of this battle is the success of the beheading, the collapse of the head office, the loss of the unified command of the national resistance in Japan, and the chaos of each place fighting each other. carnage.

That Ming country's action to destroy Japan will successfully end with a lower loss.

This was considered a risky move, and Su Jue raised objections to it at the beginning, thinking that it was too risky and perhaps shouldn't be done.

Because Japan is weak and small, but if it only uses [-] troops to attack the opponent's capital, I am afraid that it will face the encirclement and suppression of the opponent's troops more than three times.

This is the first point.

The second point is that although Kong Zhende was born in land warfare, he has studied water warfare for many years.

To put it bluntly, he did not trust Kong Zhende to fight this battle well.

In this regard, Xin Qiji immediately approached Kong Zhende and asked him about Daming's cavalry tactics. Kong Zhende's answers were clear one by one, and there was nothing wrong.

Su Jue still felt sorry for his old subordinates, and hoped that Xin Qiji could change his tactics and dispatch more troops to attack, such as two divisions, or he would personally lead troops to execute this tactic.

"My army rushed to the capital by surprise, can they react? This is the first point, and, since the war started, do you think they can understand the overall situation of the battlefield?"

Xin Qiji asked Su Jue this way.

Su Jue thought for a while and gave a realistic answer.

He doesn't think the other party can react, nor does he think the other party can control the overall situation.

"That's it, our key is to be quick and accurate, to execute tactics quickly, to attack the key points accurately, to achieve the goal ruthlessly, to kill the opponent before they can react, and to concentrate a large number of people in the country before the opponent has time. When you are in the army, you can directly take the other country's capital."

Xin Qiji insisted on his decision to fight this battle of beheadings and beat the Ping regime into a headless fly, so that it completely lost the possibility of general mobilization.

For this reason, Xin Qiji also decided to equip the 41st Division of the [-]th Army with a sufficient number of firearms to assist it.

Because of the need for rapid attack, the general artillery cannot be installed, so it is replaced by a cavalry cannon. The latest artillery car developed by the Ministry of Industry has strong maneuverability and carries a lighter cavalry cannon, which can cooperate with the troops to achieve Higher speed maneuvers.

Although Su Jue still disagreed and did not believe that Kong Zhende could complete the task, Xin Qiji insisted that he could only accept it.

Kong Zhende was born in the marine warfare. Later, when the Ming army had the need for water warfare, he was transferred to serve as a naval general, and he also made great achievements, but he was definitely not unfamiliar with army tactics. The existence of the marine corps made him They, like the generals of the navy, must be familiar with the tactics of foot and cavalry.

It's just not that big.

A team of 1 cavalry did not exceed the upper limit of Kong Zhende's ability.

After he commanded the navy to destroy the Japanese navy with his skillful tactical command ability, he commanded the cavalry army to land, rectify the logistics materials and artillery, and then the army moved forward all the way.

The cavalry reconnaissance and clearing the way, followed by the infantry, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, and the progress is smooth.

The Kingdom of Settsu controls the gateway to Ping An Jing, and has always been valued by Ping Qing Sheng. It has set up a lot of defense facilities and troops here, and set up many obstacles on the road to Ping An Jing, just to protect the safety of Ping An Jing.

At this moment, the army of Setsu had already learned that the Ming army had launched an attack on Japan, so the army was relatively nervous, and had already had a combat readiness order, and was ready to dispatch support from various places at any time.

Therefore, Kong Zhende was facing the more elite and well-prepared Japanese defenders.

But Kong Zhende did not feel that this task was difficult.

His first goal was Nambajing, the former capital of Japan. After winning the port, the huge movement had made the Nambajing defenders vigilant. He calmly reorganized the army, especially the firearms troop in order to advance with the army. According to the spy's guidance, he launched an attack on the Japanese garrison.

Facing the Japanese camp, Kong Zhende bombarded the Japanese camp with artillery. The Japanese army had never seen such a ferocious attacking weapon as artillery.

The amount of artillery and ammunition in Kong Zhende's hands was large enough for him to spend freely, so he was very calm and let the gunners bombard as much as possible until the opponent completely collapsed.

After the bombardment for a while, the infantry came forward to cover and kill, and the musketeers cooperated in the formation. Once they found that there were still Japanese troops, the musketeers immediately opened fire and made the first wave of attacks.

In the first battle after the landing, Kong Zhende did not leave any "good impression" on the Japanese army. The [-] defenders defending Nambajing were completely annihilated by the artillery attack of the Ming army. .

After that, the Ming army attacked Namba Jing and bombarded the city wall with artillery.

But this is not important, Kong Zhende's goal is not Namba Jing, but Ping An Jing.

Kong Zhende reorganized the army, leaving a small number of troops stationed in Nambajing to maintain logistics, and he continued to attack the direction of Ping'anjing with the main force.

All the way to attack, he encountered brave defenders and defenders who fled all the way. Kong Zhende won all five battles, destroyed the Japanese army of Setsu, broke through the defense line of Setsu, and entered the basin where Ping'anjing is located. Refers to Ping An Jing.

Total time, five days.

There was another day because of the rain, so Kong Zhende let the army rest, protect firearms and gunpowder, and did not attack, but this did not lead to a surprise attack by the Japanese army, but got the news that the defenders of Setsu had fully retreated.

It seems that Ping Anjing has learned the news that the Ming army has landed in the country of Setsu, and knows that the defenders of the country of Setsu are not defeated, so they quickly let the remnants of the defeated generals retreat and prepare to arrange a second line of defense.

Kong Zhende knew that the fighter plane was right in front of him and could not be missed, so he decisively waved his army forward and did not intend to retreat, and decided to face the Japanese defenders near Ping An Jing.

He was convinced that in the short time since the war started, the army that Heianjing could use was definitely not enough to make him helpless.

Kong Zhende's judgment is correct.

In Heian-kyo, although Kiyomori Taira issued a mobilization order and began preparations for war, only 20 days had passed since the mobilization order was issued until Kong Zhende defeated the Settsu Kingdom.

After learning that the Ming army had invaded the Setjin Kingdom, Ping Qingsheng turned pale with shock, and immediately ordered people to reorganize the army. He learned that the mobile force that he could use at present was only 3 people who had entered the state of combat readiness.
