Chapter 411: Simple and Crude
Zachdan nodded and said in agreement, "We don't want to go to Fuzhou, and Houjin, Dolgon and other people in power won't be willing to come to Lushun."
We have invested so many resources in the navy, and now we have completely dominated the surrounding waters, so we can still take the sea transportation line, and Houjin does not have this kind of convenience. Even if they had a board to go into the sea, they would be sunk by our army.
Therefore, I have already reported to the country and applied for it, and before the strategic initiative is completely grasped, the kingdom should not go to build the road from Lushun and Jinzhou to Fuzhou.
If this time, if you can teach Tartar a lesson, then no matter who is in charge of Houjin, he can't help it and send troops to pull out the nail of Lushun.
Otherwise, the strategy that has been implemented for many years and has been quite effective will not be carried out at all. ”
"Haha······" The adjutant looked like the scene at that time, couldn't help laughing, and then suddenly woke up, now he was not talking about martial arts and his classmates, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and explained a little awkwardly, "If that's the case, the battle is much easier to fight than now." To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it. ”
Zachdan didn't care about the young adjutant's face, but just glanced back at a damaged infantry artillery carriage on the side of the road, where several artillerymen were sweating profusely changing spokes.
Zachdan couldn't help but feel that "Actually, according to the current development momentum of our army, no matter the head of the enemy army. It doesn't matter if it's a fixed city that can't be moved.
What our army needs to do is to take action and prove that we have the ability to harass the hinterland of the Houjin army.
In the past, when Nurhachi was still there, Houjin basically had nothing to lose. Therefore, you can completely ignore Mao Wenlong's attack and just wait calmly for Mao Wenlong to withdraw his troops.
However, now it is different, under the leadership of Huang Taiji in the past few years, the Houjin side conquered the grassland tribes and entered the Jinggi area of the Ming Dynasty to rob, getting a large number of people and materials, and the standard of living suddenly rose several steps.
In terms of post-gold now, there are more pots and jars, and they must care about those who harass.
Correspondingly, once our army shows that we really have this ability, the Houjin side will definitely not be able to endure this threat.
At that time, the enemy will attack, except for the sea route that is absolutely controlled by our army and cannot be passed, basically only by this road.
I would like to see how many loyal coats in his country could die on this line of transportation by that time. ”
"Commander-in-chief, you really hate and operate this idea, Houjin Tartar is already thin.
Moreover, the Tartars were not good at production, and after occupying Liaodong, they still had limited output and lived in poverty, and if they could not go north and west to loot, sooner or later, they would be consumed to death by their low productivity.
However, once the Houjin army went out to rob the grassland, Daming and other places, the troops left behind in Liaodong would be extremely limited when tens of thousands of cavalry had already been wiped out by our army.
As long as our brigade can prove that our army has the ability and possibility to attack the north of Gaizhou and even Shenyang in this operation, then those in power on the Houjin side must come to attack the Lushun area, where we are heavily garrisoned. ”
"Yes, that's it, they want to go out and loot, let's drill holes in their waists and bleed him, I want to see how long those people in Houjin can endure."
As long as we wait until the Houjin army comes to Lushun, we can entertain them well.
Isn't that Dolgon called the wise king? Let's also see how smart the smart king is! ”
······
"Quick, fast, fast, all speed up, fast forward."
An officer of the mounted infantry battalion ran quickly past the queue while beating his horse, constantly urging the team to move forward quickly.
After crossing the upper reaches of the tributaries of the Fuzhou River, the command of the right flank issued an order for the right flank cavalry and mounted infantry to rush to a place called Xidaesan on the flank of the Fuzhou pipeline before noon to cut off the main line of communication from Fuzhou to the crossing of the Fuzhou River.
Although the mounted infantry rode their horses when they were in motion, they did not make a tactical charge like the cavalry when they were fighting, because they did not have this training plan.
Therefore, in the mounted infantry battalion, each squad is equipped with an additional auxiliary, and this auxiliary is responsible for managing and taking care of the war horses when everyone dismounts to fight.
Along the way, from time to time, the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion turned back from the front to report on the situation ahead.
According to the plan discussed by the brigade headquarters before, after crossing the river, the right wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade no longer hid its whereabouts, but relied on the mobility of the cavalry to quickly rush to the combat area.
They need to fight for the encirclement and annihilation of the living forces of the Houjin Tartars in the area south of Fuzhou. to support the next siege of Fuzhou City and prepare for the next move.
After several rounds of negotiations, confrontations, coercion, and inducements, the Mao Chengzuo Department of Dongjiang Town, which was won over from the Ming Dynasty, as well as several other small units of Dongjiang Town, large and small, slowly began to regain some vitality after a few months of recuperation.
In order to cooperate with this operation, their teams, which basically do not have too strong combat effectiveness, will also cooperate with the autumn wind of going ashore to fight Houjin together.
The cavalry battalion that acted with the cavalry infantry was also the old unit of the original Lushun dispatch army, and everyone was familiar with it, and the officers of the two battalions often moved back and forth with each other.
What's more, now, they are going to act together, and the communication between the two sides is even closer.
The commander of the cavalry battalion naturally ran over and informed the commander of the mounted infantry battalion about the situation.
"The command has just received a report that the Houjin cavalry has a total of 1,200 people, and is now in the western section of the Fuzhou River, in the confrontation with the left flank of our army, the commander-in-chief ordered your battalion to quickly follow, cross the Fuzhou River, and cut off the road for the enemy's retreat."
"I see." The commander of the mounted infantry battalion loudly agreed, and immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet.
The commander of the cavalry battalion did not stop after speaking, and immediately mounted his horse and marched towards his ranks.
Basically, all the officers were very satisfied with the plan of action, because in this battle, there was no conspiracy, no messy strategy, and it was a simple and crude operation to a certain extent.
The left-wing troops loaded ships from the port of Arthur and landed on the western section of the Fuzhou River, openly deploying their forces and building defensive lines to attract the attention of the enemy.
With the strength of the left flank and relying on the protection of the position, it can completely resist the impact of more than twice the number of enemy cavalry, and at the same time, it can also make the Houjin army misjudge its own strength.
The right-wing troops, on the other hand, took on the important task of maneuvering strikes and cutting off the enemy's retreat. They need to take advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry to fight the enemy before they are discovered.
This whole plan is completely simple to a certain extent, but it is much easier to understand than the previous big operations.
