Chapter 226: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight
As soon as the light of day was brightened, several reconnaissance teams sent out on the Tashan defense line came back, and they reported what they had seen and heard last night to the command headed by Zhao Qingyu.
Zhao Qingyu and Chief of Staff Qian combined the situation report and relevant documents issued by the General Headquarters early this morning, and after comprehensively, everyone on the Tashan defense line could figure out what happened last night and have a fairly clear understanding of the current situation.
It turned out that last night, in order to make the [Kunpeng] play its maximum role at night, the reinforcements that were marching towards Tashan came to cooperate with the [Kunpeng] and the Alpine Observation Force.
During the day, they communicated several times through the communications hub of the General Command.
It was decided that the reinforcements should set up several temporary guidance stations along the way, and use the method of lighting arrow-shaped bonfires to guide the bombing troops of [Kunpeng] in the right direction.
And the mountain observation unit has already sent a small cannon up the mountain.
When the Kunpeng arrives at its destination, the Alpine Observation Force will use artillery to fire flares, flares, and even fireworks and other ammunition that can be conspicuously marked at night to provide bombing guidance for the Kunpeng.
Last night, with the cooperation of various units, [Kunpeng] carried out at least three night bombardments against a Houjin army that had already set off and was coming in the direction of Tashan.
Although these bombardments did not cause much casualties to the enemy due to the lack of visibility at night, they also severely frightened the enemy and effectively delayed the pace of the Houjin army's attack.
This was good news for the fighters of the 1601 and 1502 battalions.
However, there is also a lot of bad news, such as reinforcements.
Sure enough, as expected by the General Headquarters, the infantry battalions of the Houjin Army were ready to outflank the troops on a forced march, but because of the rugged mountain roads, the time to reach the predetermined position would be postponed again, and the time was to be determined.
Therefore, the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion and the 2nd Ranger Battalion on the Tower Hill Defense Line still need to hold on for as long as possible.
There is also bad news, and that is that although [Kunpeng] has slowed down the retreat of an enemy army through three night bombardments.
However, in order to facilitate the retreat, the Houjin army divided the troops into more than a dozen.
One was delayed, but the other, shortly after daybreak, gathered the two Houjin armies that had fled yesterday and attacked again.
······
In the backyard of the General Headquarters, Chen Xin was sitting in the study, also having a headache about this matter.
The battle situation affected the whole body, but I didn't expect that just a small ninety-nine inside the forward battalion of the Houjin Army triggered the adjustment of the military deployment of the entire Huaxia Kingdom.
Moreover, because of the rush of time, the General Staff did not have the conditions to make accurate calculations, and the hastily formulated plans were irrational and flawed in one way or another.
It was just a mistake in the calculation of the ruggedness of the mountain road that put the two elite battalions on the Tashan defensive line into an extremely embarrassing situation.
Anya rolled up her sleeves and gently massaged Chen Xin's head.
Chen Xin complained depressedly, "Alas, I'm just a middle-aged person, if I work as a clerk in the office, typing, writing some documents, making a report, etc., it's okay, let me manage a country, it really makes me a little haggard, and I feel more and more struggling recently."
Even when I led the troops in the past, I didn't think it was a big deal to charge into battle with my brothers, at best, I was just dying on the battlefield.
However, now, a single wrong decision can ruin countless families.
I was so stressed that I would get headaches every now and then. ”
Anya's delicate face was a little unbearable and pitying, but she didn't speak.
The way of kings is solitary, and he who is king will bear the weight of the crown.
As a king, Chen Xin doesn't need her comfort, she just needs to be a good listener and obediently bury what she hears in her heart.
"Report."
"Come in."
"Your Majesty, a letter from the Tashan defense line, at seven o'clock this morning, the first part of the Houjin Army, about 5,000 people, launched an attack on Tashan, and Zhao Qingyu asked for reinforcements from the troops."
Chen Xin was also very able to understand the difficulties on the Tashan defensive line, but the other cavalry units were still very far away from Tashan.
It is impossible for infantry troops to pass through the plains south of the Hufeiling Mountains easily.
But if you go to the mountains, the speed is not as good as outflanking the troops who are already halfway there.
"There are no soldiers, but you can find a way to send a batch of ammunition over."
"Logistics is already looking for ways to deliver ammunition for them."
Chen Xin is very satisfied with his subordinates' attitude towards doing things, and he can think of things ahead, which is very good.
As long as the ammunition can be delivered, the pressure on Tashan will be much less.
After all, with the current strength of the Tasan defenders, as long as there is enough ammunition, it is also possible to defeat the Houjin Korean Front army, which is dominated by 10 times the number of Koreans, head-on, not to mention, it is now a defensive operation!
However, the limit of what they can deal with is 10 times the enemy, and if there are more people, the defenders of Tashan, who are not equipped with machine guns and even have only one 40mm infantry gun, may not be able to hold back.
This is only in the face of the post-gold miscellaneous army dominated by the Koreans, and if the army is dominated by the murderous mature women, this proportion will be reduced to a certain extent.
You must know that what Houjin Tartar is best at is to rely on the shield cart to enter the charging distance under the pressure of the supervising team at one level and one by one, and then make a wave to take away all the enemies.
In the face of this tactic, if the instantaneous firepower output is not enough, it is easy for the enemy to open a breakthrough at a certain point, and then cause the whole line to collapse.
This set of tactics, whether in the face of the Ming army or the North Korean army, can play a huge role, so that the Houjin can become bigger and fight more with less. When facing the Huaxia army, the effect was slightly worse, but when the Houjin army had an absolute numerical advantage, this tactic could still play a great role.
However, before Chen Xin could smile, he heard his subordinates report, "Your Excellency, the ammunition has been prepared, but transportation is still a big problem, and we can't transport it now." ”
When Chen Xin heard this, his head hurt again.
However, now that they are talking about business, Anya has stepped down, and no one has come to relieve its headache symptoms, so Chen Xin can only endure it. "Can't [Kunpeng] think of a way there?"
"No, [Kunpeng] is still trying to bombard the Houjin troops advancing towards Tashan, delaying the enemy's movements, and at the same time preventing the enemy from merging as much as possible, and not being able to spare his hands to carry out the transportation mission.
Once Kunpeng ceases to act, Tashan will be in danger in an instant. ”
"So do the other departments have any suitable plans? Say it and refer to it together. ”
"Yes, after we solicited the opinions of various departments, a salesman in the communications department thought that the falcons could be dispatched for material delivery.
However, this plan was not well received.
The weight of these falcons is a big problem, a single falcon can only carry 1 pound of supplies, this amount is too small in terms of the transportation of military supplies.
If this method is to be approved, it will be necessary to draw the help of the falcons that have already been engaged in the private communication business from the postal service.
This will have a great impact on the Kingdom's communications, so we dare not specialize in it, and we hope that you will decide. ”
Chen Xin immediately made a decision, "What is there to hesitate about, the lives of the soldiers of the kingdom are important, and the battle situation on the front line is important."
As long as a few government lines are retained, and a certain degree of communication between the government is maintained, what does it matter if the non-governmental communication is cut off for a period of time, this will not be fatal, we did not have a postal department before, and we are not living the same life.
I have approved this plan, and you will complete the coordination with the postal department as soon as possible."
