512. Chapter 512

Lin Rui got up and walked to the front of the big map on the side, and the picture was a little dazed. He was silent for a while and said, "From which directions are the rest of the Wehrmacht's forces coming from?"

"It's mainly on the northwest side, and it's due west. The soldiers of the Wehrmacht in these two areas are soldiers from the hometown of Lieutenant General Tula. It should be Tula's diehard. So it's likely that Tula was here to wait for the arrival of this army. Shogishi explained.

"As long as he has the support of this army, Conan will not want to monopolize power. Because these armies are tantamount to the private armies of Thitura. They don't care about the orders of the Ministry of Defense, they only listen to Lieutenant General Tula. ”

"I'm not interested in these, I'm always thinking about the rapid build-up of so many troops, whether their logistics supply will be able to keep up, and if not, will the Wehrmacht represented by Lieutenant General Tula and the Morning Star Company represented by Conan intensify the conflict because of the supplementary issue of supply. Lin Rui groaned.

"You want to?" Shogan frowned slightly, "Take advantage of the contradiction between them?"

"Their contradictions are only one aspect of it. Have you ever thought that the country of Gan is short of materials, and the food problem is very strict. What will happen if the tens of thousands of troops lose their food supply?" Lin Rui said in a deep voice.

"There is no doubt that there will be big problems. The army must not go hungry, and when a soldier is starved, discontent will arise, and the authority of the commander will be questioned. No matter what kind of great commander it is, the soldiers will not go hungry and die for you alone. Once they starve, their morale will be unstable, they will have a large-scale rout, and once this happens, it will be basically difficult to control the situation. Jason shook his head.

Shogishi nodded, "This situation cannot be controlled at all, because if it is forcibly suppressed, it will have the opposite effect, and the angry soldiers will mutiniate and turn against each other." No genius commander can stop a group of hungry soldiers, so a smart commander will only do his best to avoid this from happening. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "But Lieutenant General Tula is obviously not smart enough. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied after being stripped of power by Conan. So much so that he demanded that the troops still loyal to him speed up their march in order to replenish their own strength, so that Conan had some scruples about him. This led his combat troops to move quickly, while the logistics support team lagged behind. You came to this river!"

"This is a big river in the southwest direction, called the Azula River. It is the main river of Gan, and it is also the only way for their government troops to go south. The colonel nodded.

"If we cut off their logistical supply troops here, the combat troops that will lead the rapid march will reach their destination, but they will lose their logistical supplies. Lin Rui analyzed.

"But at the moment the food supply for the Defence Forces is sufficient. Surya frowned.

"But they are now only a third of their number, which means that once the follow-up troops arrive, they will have two-thirds more. With so many people, how can you afford their current logistical supply?" Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Besides, these soldiers are not from the same place, and they are not from the same warlord's troops, and it is difficult to be consistent in the allocation of supply needs." The contradictions between them are almost obvious. ”

"That's right, if Conan wants to take command now, he must encircle these current soldiers and junior officers. And the troops of Lieutenant General Tula did not have such good luck. To move their provisions is to snatch food from their mouths. This kind of African warlord army has always been strict in terms of mountaineering, and the antagonism between different tribes is very strict. Coupled with the conflict over the distribution of interests, these soldiers are sure to fight among themselves. Shogishi smiled.

"The point is that their leader, Lieutenant General Tula, will also acquiesce in this infighting. As Tula, who was stripped of power by Conan, he would even want to make as much trouble as possible, and it was best to make Conan at a loss, and then come back to beg him with a disgraced face. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"But all this you have said is based on a premise. That is, we have to cut off their logistical supply, we don't have air force bombing, we don't have missile attacks, how can we cut off their logistical supply?" the colonel shook his head. "And the Azura River is hundreds of kilometers behind the enemy, how can we block it?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Colonel. I'll take my people with me. Lin Rui stood up and said, "Of course, we have a lot of details about our actions, and we need to discuss further." You and Surya are still carrying out your original mission, and as for the Azula River, we will take care of it. ”

"What? Are you sure you're not joking, just with your fifty-odd men?" said the Colonel, shaking his head, "not to mention a logistics force with an armed escort. Even if there is no armed escort, you can't take down an entire logistics convoy with 50 people, right? And that's not the problem, attacking a convoy and completely blocking a convoy are two different concepts. Even if you can attack the convoy, you won't be able to completely stop the next batch, right?"

Lin Rui nodded, "That's true, but I also have my plans." You're here on the Azura River, and this is the only bridge that can be used for transport vehicles, and if we blow it up and never let them rebuild it, we're halfway there. ”

"They can take a detour to other roads, although the roads are not open to traffic. But it can be carried by animal power, pulled by mule. The colonel frowned.

"Of course, they can do that. But don't forget how much difference there is between road transport by car and road transport by horse. We remove the amount of shipping does not count, the time of the order. Even if they were from the small road, they delivered the logistics to their destination. The most conservative estimate is that the enemy army on the opposite side was also hungry for at least a week. Shogishi said with a smile. "Do you think they'll make it until a week after they're out of food?"

Surya laughed, "If they're hungry for a week, we won't have to fight." Go straight to capture these dying hungry government troops. ”

"I have a better idea. Lin Rui shrugged. "Pile up our food at the gates of the city and distribute it whenever deserters from the government army come. It is better to exchange the weapons in their hands for our food. ”

"Poof!" Shogan laughed while holding his stomach in his hands, "Your trick is even more damaging." If that's the case, even if the government army doesn't run out, more than half of them will have to run away, and the rest will lose their combat effectiveness. It can be called a poisonous plan among poisonous schemes. ”
