Chapter 409: Old Officers and New Generation
Fu Yan was relieved when he saw that Zachdan was smiling at him, and then continued, "Judging from the deployment of the Houjin army, the enemy should have roughly known the number of men and horses deployed by our army in Jinzhou and Lushun.
It was precisely according to the number of our army that the enemy made corresponding deployments, and arranged about 7,000 Eight Banner soldiers between Fuzhou and Gaizhou.
In addition, the Houjin side also restored the post stations and forts left over from the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent along the way, and the intelligence obtained by our army shows that the Houjin army believes that these arrangements are enough to ensure the safety of the first-line area of Fuzhou.
The enemy is so naΓ―ve, and it is really thanks to the battlefield shelter of our cavalry, reconnaissance, and armed reconnaissance units that have taken turns attacking in recent months.
Officially, because of the cover of our battlefield, the Houjin army still does not know that we have increased our troops and expanded our organization.
At present, the First Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Army deployed by our army in the eastern Liaodong region has one battalion directly under its jurisdiction, three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one infantry artillery battalion, and one logistics battalion, with a total strength of more than 4,000 troops, including nearly 5,000 civilian men and auxiliary soldiers. Basically has gained a foothold.
Once the Houjin army in Fuzhou City complained to the Houjin court in Shenyang City and asked for help, it would take at least two days just to report the news.
If the troops were to be drawn from the area north of Haizhou City, the assembly time required would also be at least two days, and the marching time spent on the road would also take at least five days.
At the time of the battle, before the Houjin army in Fuzhou asked for help from Shenyang, the defenders stationed in Fuzhou City needed to at least determine the data of the strength of our army to attack the city, otherwise, they were lying to the Houjin Belle and the ministers who stayed in Shenyang, just in case.
This is another point that can be exploited, as long as our army can deceive the other side in terms of troop force data, then we will have a few more days.
After such a roundabout calculation, our army will probably have about ten days, and such a long time is definitely enough for our 1st Mixed Brigade to complete a siege operation. β
The officer who asked the question opened his mouth in some surprise, and after a while, he said, "If that's the case, that is, a few days ago, the brigade headquarters repeatedly dispatched several of our battalions to the periphery, just to confuse the Houjin army?" β
Fu Yan nodded, in the past few months, the First Mixed Brigade has really not been idle, while constantly running in the team, and constantly sending cavalry units to cover each other on the battlefield with the Houjin side.
At the same time, the commanders and staff officers of these brigade headquarters also need to constantly make all kinds of preparations before the attack, and they are simply busy.
Now, seeing that the officers below had not reacted until now, Fu Yan really had the urge to stuff this officer back to the lecture hall to rebuild it.
However, if the officers below approached the orders issued by the brigade headquarters in close proximity and did not find out the intentions of the brigade headquarters, then, obviously, the enemy must not have guessed it.
Thinking of this, Fu Yan was suddenly full of confidence, and he said confidently, "You guessed right just now, these feints carried out in the recent period are completely to attract the transfer of Jiannu in the forts in the surrounding areas north of Fuzhou City.
In this way, it is possible not only to paralyze the enemy, but also to allow the reconnaissance troops, armed reconnaissance teams, mountain observation units, and other teams to determine the number of enemies.
Now, do you have any questions? β
The officer obviously also felt that he had not guessed the intentions of the brigade headquarters for so long, and seemed very incompetent, so he muttered in a depressed mood, "No." β
However, in the end, it was the officer who had received professional training and then killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
He knows that his team is the most powerful army in the world, and the military education he has experienced is the best education in the world at this stage.
After regaining his self-confidence, he immediately added the sentence "Not for the time being" after the words just now. Fu Yan glanced at the officer who spoke just now in some surprise, he didn't quite understand why the officer, who seemed very depressed just now, could face him again with a strong mentality in an instant.
As an outstanding representative figure among the new generation of officers, although he has achieved excellent results in various subjects, he has fully demonstrated the excellent level of outstanding graduates of the martial arts hall in several exercises.
However, after all, he had only graduated a short time, and he had not experienced the tough battles in the early days of the establishment of the kingdom's army, or even the battles of life and death.
Therefore, he has not yet established the strong self-confidence of a strong man, and he cannot yet understand some of the performances of the officers of the older generation.
Zachdan saw everything in his eyes, and from the emotions expressed by everyone, he clearly saw what was going on.
He knows that Fu Yan still needs to be polished, and after the practice of various professional abilities is over, he needs to be prepared to temper his psychology.
However, now is the military meeting, and it is not the time to think about those things, so he waved his hand to let Fu Yan come back, and he himself stood on the focus of everyone's attention again and continued.
"Next, I will announce the next actions that our army will carry out.
This time, taking advantage of the good opportunity of Dolgon to lead the main force of the Houjin Army to go out, the 1st Mixed Brigade of our Chinese Army will dispatch all its forces to launch an attack on the enemy.
This time, the main target of our army's attack was Fuzhou City, which was not able to be defeated in one fell swoop last year.
In the east and north directions of Jinzhou, our army will only retain a small number of reconnaissance cavalry, and they will work together with the soldiers and horses of the former Daming Dongjiang Town, which has been attached to the kingdom, to harass the eastern coastal areas of Liaodong. β
"My first mixed brigade, this time, will dispatch all troops, a total of three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one artillery battalion that is not yet in order, one reconnaissance battalion attached to the headquarters, plus auxiliary units such as battalions directly under the brigade headquarters and logistics support battalions."
Zachdan said this, pausing again, because someone raised his hand again to ask a question.
"Commander-in-chief, the Houjin army has suffered several losses in our hands, and even their Khan King Huang Taiji has been wiped out by us.
In this battle, our army sent so many people to attack together, and I am afraid that the Houjin defenders in Fuzhou may not have a head-to-head confrontation with us.
If the Houjin army chooses to move forward strategically, then, with the marching speed of the enemy's cavalry troops, when our army fails to occupy the cavalry advantage, I am afraid that there will be no way to force the enemy army to accept a head-on battle with our army.
It is said that it is said that in the past, when the Jin farmers were busy and could not gather a large army, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town went to fight guerrillas, and all the dungeons and cities in the Houjin were also closed without fighting. β
