Chapter 960 The Art of War

"In terms of terrain, the Korean peninsula is narrow and slender, like a snake. If it is cut off in the middle, the head and tail will not be able to see each other. This is a big taboo for military strategists, and it is also an opportunity for us."

At the meeting, Zuo Menggeng stood up and explained to everyone the reason for this battle.

Everyone looked at the map and understood his words more deeply.

"At present, although our army is forced into a corner of Busan, it seems that the terrain is narrow and there is no way out. But at the same time, we have no worries, and we have attracted more than [-] Qing Dynasty coalition forces in the defense circle of Busan. This is almost All the enemy's new forces. Therefore, other places are extremely empty. As long as our army moves in place, we can seize these strategic points."

Zuo Menggeng swiped his baton back and forth across the map.

"The enemy army in Hanyang only has more than [-] people, and they will definitely not be able to stop our troops. The most important thing is that Huang Taiji is here. As long as we attack, the enemy will definitely be shocked."

No one doubts that.

The position where Huang Taiji is located is the center of the Qing Dynasty's coalition forces, and Xia Jun's move can be called the must-save for attacking the enemy.

Gu Erzhong has doubts.

"Your Highness, what if Huang Taiji retreats when our army reaches Hanyang?"

Zuo Menggeng sneered, and the baton fell on Busan's side.

"No matter what Huang Taiji does, the retreat of the Qing coalition forces is in danger. We have taken the absolute initiative in the overall strategic situation. As long as we cut off all the roads to retreat to the north, you say... Is there any suspense about the outcome? ?”

Everyone suddenly realized, and only then did they understand the power of this battle plan.

Regardless of the fact that there were more than [-] coalition forces in the Qing Dynasty, it can definitely be called a large number of people and powerful combat power.But the material consumption of so many people is also an astronomical figure.

These grain and grass materials need to be transported non-stop from Hanyang.

Once the Xia army cut off the logistics supply line, there was no need to fight. The [-] army would definitely collapse without a fight.

Although there is still a vast area between Hanyang and Busan, it seems that it can provide certain supplies to the Qing coalition forces.

However, many people in these places have already fled. In addition, spring has just started and there is not much food left. For the Qing coalition forces, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

"The General Staff judged that once our army completes the landing on Ganghwa Island and captures Hanyang, the only option for the Qing coalition forces must be to withdraw their troops and return to the north to avoid being surrounded and wiped out by our army."

The terrain of North Korea determined that this was the best way for the Qing coalition forces to respond.

And the situation in which they retreated was very dangerous.

The Korean Peninsula in this era cannot be compared with later generations. Not to mention the mountains and mountains everywhere, the roads that can be passed are also very limited.Once the Qing coalition forces retreated, they had to hurry before the Xia army cut off all the roads.

Otherwise, they are the turtles in the urn.

There are more than [-] Manchu-Mongolian-Han coalition forces in this siege network, which is the foundation of the Manchu and Qing dynasty.Once thrown here, the foundation of the Jurchens will surely be wiped out.

Lin Qingye sat in the back, listening to the whole plan, his heart was really surging.

Only the Xia Kingdom can formulate such a huge and astonishing handwriting.

If this plan is successful, not only is North Korea expected to be restored, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty may become history.

To be able to participate in such a big battle is definitely Sansheng's honor.

What he didn't expect was that when assigning tasks, he was the first one to find him.

"Huang Fei, Lin Qingye..."

Hearing Liu Yiyuan's roll call, the two stood up quickly.

"The two of you are the vanguard of the whole army. Leading the troops must rush to the vicinity of Jianghua Island on the fifth day of April to scout out the enemy's situation, survey the hydrology, and find a suitable landing site."

The operation of so many armies is extremely complicated and cumbersome, so every step must be carefully arranged.

Moreover, there is no way to maintain concealment for such a large operation. In order to be responsible for the landing troops, early reconnaissance work must be carried out.

Even if this will provide a warning to the enemy, there is no way.

Huang Fei and Lin Qingye quickly took orders, sat down and began to discuss the action plan in low voices.

"Minister Zuo, you lead all the main warships to cover the firepower of the whole army. I only have one request. When the first marine division lands, I don't want to see resistance on land."

Liu Yiyuan's murderous aura was undeniable, and Zuo Hua did not give in too much.

"The commander-in-chief can rest assured that before the First Marine Division lands, the Navy promises to plow all the landing sites."

No one believes that the defenders on Ganghwa Island have the ability to hold the beachhead and prevent the [-]st Marine Division from landing.

Liu Yiyuan looked at E Honglue.

"Deputy Minister E Honglue, you are the commander-in-chief of the landing. Coordination must be done well, and there must be no mistakes during the landing process. Remember, the life of every soldier is precious. Don't fail to sacrifice in the hands of the enemy, Instead, we died of our own negligence."

E Hong slightly held his head high.

"We have made a detailed plan, which is specific to each ship, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

In order to complete the landing operation from the sea, the soldiers must be transferred from the big ship to the small boat, and then rushed directly to the beach.

This requires a large number of small boats.

For Xia Guo's navy, it is definitely a difficult test to carry these ships, but also to complete the deployment in a short period of time and accept all the transfer of soldiers.

Among other things, just carrying these ships is a technical job.

For this reason, the navy has deliberately remodeled many large ships, removing many redundant things, and even the artillery is not equipped.

Instead, a hoist was installed on deck.

In this way, when it is time to launch the boat, the work can be done quickly through mechanical power.

"Political Commissar Zhang, you lead the rest of the warships to guard the perimeter while the landing operation begins, and at the same time attack other islands to echo the main force."

Xia Jun's topographical reconnaissance of Jianghua Island began a long time ago.

On the outskirts of Jianghua Island, there are several small islands.There are fortifications built on it, which play a certain role in protecting Ganghwa Island.

If you want to capture Ganghwa Island, you must first remove these strongholds.

This is Zhang Keda's task.

"Send an order to Bai Dasheng's chief of staff, ordering him to lead a detachment to carry out coastal cleanups and shield routes, so that no ship can appear at sea."

This time the landing operations, suddenness is the first priority.The later the enemy learns about it, the greater the victory will be.

Therefore, blocking the enemy's field of vision is very important.

After winning the Mingliang naval battle, Bai Dasheng's headquarters is repairing and clearing out the remnants of the enemy on Zhendao.It is absolutely possible to continue to go north, wipe out all the enemies along the coast of North Korea, and prevent a ship from launching.

In this way, the main force of the navy can make a big circle away from the coastline and suddenly appear on Ganghwa Island.

Even the Qing Dynasty coalition forces, which are still very primitive in land warfare, I believe they will be pleasantly surprised when they face this kind of tactics that have crossed the times.
