Chapter 66: Pre-War Briefing
"Your Excellency has arrived. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 With a loud announcement, Chen Xin, dressed in a latest, six-year-old army uniform embroidered with gold lace, held a standard saber, and walked quickly into the headquarters that had just been formed and was located in a military camp in Yiju.
The officer on duty commanded in a loud voice, "Stand up." ”
With the sound of neat boots stumbling on the heels, all the officers in the command headquarters stood up together and watched Chen Xin walk all the way to the top position.
Today is the first pre-war briefing meeting since the establishment of the General Headquarters for Operations against Houjin.
But Chen Xin's handsomeness only lasted less than 1 minute, and he broke the work, untying the wind and discipline buckle and fanning the wind constantly.
The weather was so hot that Chen Xin, who had just come here from the palace, didn't have the heart to talk much, and after everyone saluted, he motioned for everyone to sit down together.
Turning to the side, Cong commanded, "Serve cold drinks to all of you." Then he said to the officers who were seated, "It's too hot, everyone relax and be careful not to get heatstroke."
Hehe, when designing this set of military uniforms, I only noticed that it was powerful and good-looking, but I didn't pay attention to the seasonal factors. What a mistake. ”
A little self-deprecation made the stuffy air in the headquarters a little more relaxed, and everyone opened the wind and discipline buckle one after another.
After drinking a bowl of mung bean soup that had been made in a deep well, Chen Xincai ordered the staff officers to start today's briefing on the war situation.
In April of the 6th year of the fire, the United Kingdom of China received secret reports from all sides, and the defenders of the Daming Ningjin defense line went out of the Daling River to build a city.
Subsequently, Houjin and Daming began to try to confront each other a few times. Until July, the Houjin decided to mobilize 50,000 cavalry, and the information that they were ready to officially attack Dalinghe City also came back from the Houjin.
At the same time, in order to contain the kingdom, the remnants of the Houjin, who were far away in the Shangjing region of North Korea and led by Sukh Saha and An Buyang, also began to make small moves.
First of all, there are sentry scouts constantly roaming the border areas, and occasionally, a small number of enemy troops climb over the border defense line from the mountains and infiltrate the interior of the kingdom.
In a small-scale elite duel, the kingdom's army will not be at a disadvantage, and all kinds of cheating weapons are on the table, and the enemy does not get the advantage.
However, although the enemy's small-scale sentinels were eliminated, the enemy's routine of startling the snake also made the kingdom shift its attention from the Liaodong region and keep an eye on the Houjin army in the Korean region.
When the time came in August, after the Houjin army in Liaodong officially set out for Dalinghe City, the Houjin army in the Korean region really changed the previous methods of petty family spirit and made a big move.
The Houjin Korean Front, with a total of more than 80,000 people, divided the city into two roads and drove out of Shangjing and the surrounding cities.
Among them, the army of the first road entered the deep mountains along the eastern road of the Hufeiling Mountain Range, and the reconnaissance troops on the front line had been closely following this wave of enemies.
We have determined that the enemy's direction is the kingdom, which is absolutely true, but the specific destination of the enemy is not yet clear.
However, according to the details of some enemy movements, the Kingdom Staff analyzed that the enemy was likely to make a feint attack, trying to attract the attention of the Kingdom army in disguise and cover for Huang Taiji's attack on the Ming Kingdom.
In the event that our army attacks the enemy in this way, this group of enemy troops is likely to retreat.
Later, the Jin Second Road Army relied on the mountains to organize defense lines and set up fortresses in Wenshan, Panmunjom, and Xintan, which seemed to be intended to be strictly defended.
Chen Xin stood in front of the sand table in the general headquarters, looking at the enemy's fortified area, and said with emotion, "It's really impermanent, I didn't expect that I came from the Yalu River a few years ago, and now, I finally came here again." ”
Isn't that the area where the final confrontation between the Volunteer Army and the damn United Nations Army in later history will be! It is also commonly known as the 38th parallel.
After a little emotion, Chen Xin took the lead in speaking, "In the past few years, the kingdom has been concentrating on economic development, and we have not set up a wartime general headquarters for nearly two years, and this kind of pre-war briefing is already a little rusty.
However, if we don't provoke the enemy, the enemy will not let us go.
No, Huang Taiji jumped in Liaodong and prepared to attack the salient on the Ningjin defensive line, ready to pull out a nail.
Sukh Saha and An Bu Masturbation, echoing their masters in the south of the kingdom, also began to jump.
This time, we want to completely defeat this enemy hidden behind us and create good conditions for Jin after the Northern Expedition in the future.
Today, it is the comrades of various departments within the General Headquarters to meet each other, and then, together to understand the situation, and prepare for the next war.
Don't wait for the meeting to end and find that your problem has not been solved. ”
After finishing the opening remarks, Chen Xin's fingers kept running over the markers on the map.
After staying for a moment in a part of the area where the enemy had already completed the deployment, he asked the intelligence staff officer who had come to the meeting: "How can the enemy build a fortress and organize a defensive line on the mountain?" Aren't they cold weapons troops? ”
If outsiders heard it, they might be confused, but all the staff officers and officers who had initially assembled in the headquarters understood what it meant, and they were all very curious about it.
With the strength of the kingdom's army, there is no problem if you want to rely on the convenience of the high ground to block the surrounding roads.
After all, the Royal Army is an all-firearms unit, and the distance that can be blocked by relying on the commanding heights is as far as the range of firearms is.
Not to mention that once the kingdom's new artillery, which is not very productive, is pushed to the high ground, then at least the roads within a radius of 10 kilometers can be blocked.
It is the most common rifle in the kingdom, and it can also block all roads close to the mountains with a wide field of vision, using a group of shots.
But what about Houjin? It was only last year that they had the technology to manufacture heavy smoothbore guns, but that was also the matter of the main force of the Houjin in the Liaodong region, and it had nothing to do with the remnants of the Houjin stranded in the North Korean region.
Between them, they were firmly blocked by the kingdom, and it was impossible for this kind of big guy weighing thousands of catties to be smuggled across the Yalu River and equipped to the Houjin Korean Front.
The Houjin army in the Korean region, judging from the last engagement, was nothing more than a slave tribal army dominated by cold weapons.
The heavy firepower in their hands is at most only a few small cannons, and the effective firing distance is no more than 300 meters at most.
Even if you go up to the mountains and occupy the commanding heights, what's the use? How far can the road be blocked? As long as you have the heart, isn't it easy to get around? ”
