Chapter 945: Brain-dead actually divided the troops, hahaha!
Fenghua, Ninghai, and Sanmen fell one after another, and in the face of the Storm Group 'commanded' by Pietro, the Southern Army stationed in the three places did not achieve effective resistance at all, just like a child facing a strong adult, there was no power to fight back, and it changed hands in only five days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the three places fell, Petero's troops pointed directly at Taizhou in Fujian, which caused Li Ji, the general of the defenders of the Southern Army in Taizhou, to be greatly shocked, and constantly sent reports asking Guangzhou to send reinforcements, and he himself mobilized a large army to increase troops in Taizhou, hoping to block the Wind Army on the front line of Taizhou.
Li Ji's idea is good, and according to common sense, the success of the implementation is also great.
But it is a pity that Pietro, as an opponent and enemy, and the Hurricane Legion, one of the four major armed forces in Shanghai, cannot be inferred according to the common sense of this era.
So, Li Ji is tragic.
The Southern Army garrisoned 680,000 troops in Fujian, with a total of 9 corps, of which about 500,000 were combat troops, and the rest were basically logistics troops with little combat effectiveness.
The Chinese army in 1911 could not be compared with the army of the 21st century, and the weapons and equipment in the army were even more backward to the extreme.
There are only 36 artillery pieces in 9 armies with 680,000 troops, and on average, there are only 4 guns in an army, which is a whole army.
And these 36 guns are still old-fashioned, they are all old guns from twenty years ago.
As for heavy weapons...... Hehe, basically don't think about it.
On the other hand, although the Tempest Legion under Pietro's command is not equipped with as many artillery pieces as Ensha's Yellow Sand Legion, there are 1,500 large-caliber howitzers, artillery, and various types of guns, not to mention that portable mortars are equipped with the squad system.
At the same time, those low-level soldiers are also equipped with all kinds of submachine guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons.
Therefore, when Li Ji faced the Tempest Legion, even if his troops were more numerous than his opponents, they were completely crushed in terms of weapons and equipment.
With the advent of firearms, the era of cold weapons became a thing of the past, and a new mode of warfare began.
In modern warfare, however, the number of troops can no longer become a weight that influences the war, and advanced weaponry is an important part of the final decision on the direction of the war.
Therefore, when the 120,000-strong Wind Legion faced Li Ji, who had as many as 680,000 people in Taizhou, the battle that was about to break out immediately attracted the attention of many people.
After all, although they are nominally here to discuss commercial and trade issues, in fact the idea behind these commercial and trade groups is to spy on the intelligence of the Shanghai political and military forces, as well as the intelligence of those new weapons and equipment.
Therefore, they are very concerned about how much the naval army's weapons and equipment can bring, what kind of devastating blow they can cause, and how powerful they will be in this war that is about to break out again.
The military intelligence personnel of the great powers also infiltrated the Taizhou area one after another, stayed close to the edge of the battlefield, and did a good job of collecting more detailed data.
Although Pietro's Swift Wind Army beat the Southern Army some time ago, allowing the Southern Army to see the strength of Shanghai, and also causing the Southern Army to suffer a big loss, the Southern Army, which did not fight, was really afraid.
Therefore, many generals of the Southern Army stubbornly believed that as long as they could suppress the Shanghai Army in terms of the number of troops and adopt appropriate tactical deployment, it was not impossible to defeat this opponent who was envied by the equipment.
And Li Ji is one of the generals of the Southern Army with this idea.
Don't you Shanghaikees just rely on advanced weapons and equipment, more artillery, and more guns?
Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil!
No matter how good the weapon is, someone has to use it, and no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is scrap copper and rotten iron!
I, Li Ji, will beat you Shanghaikees back to their original form this time!
I want the world to see clearly that you are actually papier-mâché tigers!
To tell the truth, Li Ji's idea is actually not wrong.
Indeed, to some extent, weapons and people, and people are the most important.
But the problem is that Li Ji doesn't know, this matter is okay in the situation that the two sides are about the same, but the equipment of the Hurricane Legion is not just as simple as being well-armed, but it is a few levels inferior to the weapons and equipment of the army of the Southern Army.
And the gap at this level, to be bridged by troops, is simply impossible.
Think about it, how far did modern long-range missiles hit, and how far did small-caliber artillery in 1911 hit?
Not to mention that missiles can also be positioned to strike military targets, and the accuracy is completely beyond anyone knew in 1911.
Therefore, in the face of this kind of cross-era weapon, it is very inadequate to give you an army of 10 million.
At the push of a button, you can completely destroy your command center.
And without the commander, can the war continue?
The Swift Wind Legion is already armed to the teeth, and even light body armor is equipped with soldiers, and what do the soldiers under Li Ji's command have!
It's not a magnitude contest at all.
The Tempest is a fully mechanized unit, and thanks to Andrew's black technology, the Tempest has a variety of armored personnel carriers, as well as military trucks and motorcycles.
Therefore, in terms of speed, it is worthy of the title of 'Swift Wind Legion'.
Originally, Li Ji mobilized the army to block the Wind Legion in Taizhou, but where is the mechanization of the troops of the Southern Army, not to mention the trouble of army transfer, and the troop movement has to rely on the two feet of the soldiers.
Therefore, when Li Ji mobilized his army, Pietro had already quickly broken through Taizhou, crossed Wenzhou, and a division of the vanguard army was stationed in Ningde City.
Ningdecheng is located in the north of Fuzhou, as long as Ningde is overcome, Fuzhou is completely in sight.
And Li Ji, who had just ordered the transfer of the army to Taizhou, and the troops under his command had just gathered in Fuzhou, was dumbfounded, he could not have imagined that the enemy's speed would be so fast, faster than he imagined.
After arriving in Ningde, the Hurricane Legion did not continue to advance, but built simple fortifications in Luoyuan County, south of Ningde, and began to wait for the arrival of the subsequent large army.
Obviously, as long as the follow-up large forces arrive, it will be the time to launch a general attack on Fuzhou.
"Hurry, hurry, speed up for me, the first army of the wind is heading west, according to the intelligence, now our opponent has mobilized the defenders from all over the annex to the vicinity of Fuzhou, so the defense of the annex is empty, this is simply a good opportunity from God
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if I don't take the whole attachment, I will be sorry for myself. ”
Pietro, who was sitting on an American jeep, received information from Shanghai.
In this information, the intelligence agencies of the Shanghai Overseer Office effectively obtained accurate information about Fujian, and suggested that Pietro could divide his forces to occupy towns that were largely ungarrisoned.
And after receiving this information and advice, Pietro's eyes also lit up.
Although Petro was not a qualified soldier, he was very clever enough to know that he only had to follow the advice of the Overseer's Office, and as long as he could grasp this rule, then there would be basically no mistakes.
Not to mention that Pietro is by his side, and those liquid metal robot adjutants are helpers, so even if Pietro is just a six-year-old child, as long as these liquid metal robots are by his side, it is enough to ensure that he will not make mistakes, and there are no strange military orders.
The Overseer's suggestion was also circulated by the Liquid Metal Robot Adjutants.
Everyone felt that the Overseer's advice could be carried out.
In the eyes of the lieutenants of the liquid metal robots, the military strength of their opponents is simply low, although there are only 120,000 troops on their side, but they can easily be eliminated with the strength of a division.
Therefore, the enemy has now gathered all his forces in Fuzhou, resulting in a blank in the entire Fujian region, so he can easily occupy the whole of Fujian.
As for failure...... It's not going to happen at all.
Therefore, these liquid metal robot lieutenants, not only did not oppose Pietro's implementation of the Overseer's suggestion, but faithfully carried out Pietro's order to divide his troops.
The establishment of the Swift Wind Legion is a three-three system, three divisions and one army, and considering that their opponent's weapons and equipment are really low, Pietro and they boldly divided the strength of 120,000 troops into six parts.
Among them, the First Division of the First Army of the Hurricane Army took the initiative to attack Fuzhou.
The remaining five divisions were sent to various parts of Fujian to take over the cities and towns that had no garrisons.
However, Pietro's division of troops made all the observers of the great powers who learned the news, as well as Li Ji in Fuzhou, and the high-level generals of the Guangzhou forces in a mess dumbfounded.
It's too much to look down on people in this way, right?
Even a fool knows how to concentrate superior forces to fight, after all, there are more than 600,000 troops in Fuzhou.
And now the opponent has only sent a division and more than 12,000 troops, which simply does not take Li Jibu and the Southern Army in his eyes!
Or rather, the commander of the Shanghai Regiment is a brain-dead!?
Of course, it's not that no one sees the intention of the Hurricane Legion to divide the troops, but everyone can't figure out what is the use of dividing the troops to occupy those parts of Fujian that have no defenders?
Li Ji's troops had not yet been completely wiped out, and it was a matter of great value to divide and occupy those places under such circumstances.
It's a complete weakening of one's own strength.
And dispersing one's own power is simply an act of seeking death.
This is tantamount to creating an opportunity for Li Ji to concentrate his forces and swallow up the Wind Legion, which has an advantage in weapons and equipment.
Brain-dead!
It's really brain-dead!
It seems that the commander of this army on the Shanghai side is a big brainchild.
But is that really what these people think?
Everything had a result after the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Hurricane Legion launched an attack on the defenders of Li Ji in Fuzhou.
Isn't it great if there are a lot of people......
