Chapter 380: It's hilarious
"Lao Ding, the troops have now reached the suddenness of the battle, and the Tartars have not yet assembled a whole army to effectively respond to our attack, and we have fought from Gaizhou to Liaoyang in one day and one night, so we really don't need the Air Force Department for the time being. At most, you will bomb some unimportant targets, and the results of the battle will not be worth the fuel money you have paid back and forth. β
"We have two caravans, two R44 helicopters, and four delta-wing aircraft, what would be the effect if we flew over Shenyang at the same time, haha...... You said that Huang Taiji would be scared if he saw it, is this considered a soldier who surrendered without a fight? β
Li Ming said with a smile: "I don't know if Huang Taiji pees or not, but I know that Huang Taiji will definitely abandon Shenyang immediately." With Huang Taiji's ruthlessness, he could throw everything down and flee into the grassland with only the elite. β
"Uh...... Well, when I didn't say. Can our Air Department send planes to perform a surgical decapitation tactic against Huang Taiji? Ha ha...... In that case, will the Houjin regime be leaderless, and we can easily occupy Liaodong. β
Li Ming listened to the cold sweat in his head, "This idea is not bad, but it is still too early, Huang Taiji is in Shenyang, and the Tartars from all over the country can converge in Shenyang, if the news of Huang Taiji's death spreads now, the Tartars will inevitably blow up the camp, scatter and flee, and scatter in a hurry."
Lao Ding, I understand that the Air Force is eager to fight, but there is really no need for air support at present, and our tactical plan has not yet been fully realized. You also have to be patient. Your Air Force Department is the trump card of our Western Theater of Operations, and we must use it at the most critical time. Don't worry, the battle will be fought for a few days, and there will always be a chance for you to participate in the war. β
Song Tao snatched the microphone and laughed loudly: "Lao Ding, don't you need me to put Huang Taiji's little wife Da Yu'er." Get it back for you. β
"Okay, okay...... Old Song, Da Yu'er is only a teenager now, that's the wife of the Huang Taiji family, this can be ha, it's too challenging, haha......"
Li Ming snatched the microphone from Song Tao's hand and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, we are fighting." Strict sΓΉ point! β
After dealing with Ding Weiguo easily, Li Ming put down the microphone and said: "Lao Ding, he may be in a hurry for the past few days, and he has been thinking about the tactics of the Air Force." You two are quite similar in this regard, both have good brains, but if you don't force you, you don't need to. β
The two were idle, and the communications staff officer poked his head out of the armored car again, and said anxiously: "Hao Changfeng of the Dalinghe detachment, please call ......"
As soon as Li Ming heard this, he immediately sat up from the armored car. took the microphone and said in a deep voice: "I'm Li Ming." β
"Report to the commander-in-chief, I am Hao Changfeng. I led two regiments of the Da Ling River Detachment to occupy Quang Ninh and Changtu respectively. But the main force of the Tartars stationed here has returned to Shenyang. According to the captive's confession, the Tartar guards here received Shenyang's request for help, so they returned to Shenyang with the main elite, and he also requisitioned thousands of Mongolian tribal cavalry, the number of which is estimated to be more than 20,000 cavalry. β
Listening to Hao Changfeng's urgent report, Li Ming also became nervous. He thought for a moment and then continued to ask, "How long have they been away from Quang Ninh?" β
"According to the captive. The main force of the Tartars has been gone for a day. β
Li Ming hurriedly took out the map to look at it, and then asked the communications staff officer to contact Ding Weiguo.
"Lao Ding, you immediately transfer the airship on duty in the northwest of Shenyang to the official road post road on the front line of Black Mountain, Xiongshan Station, and Juliu River for reconnaissance, the 20,000 horse team that the Tartars have returned from Guangning and Changtu has been gone for a day, and your Air Force Department must find this Tartar horse team."
"I immediately arranged for the other two airships of the airship detachment to rush to the front line of the Liao River. Strengthen the air reconnaissance forces there. Rest assured commanders, our Air Department will definitely find them. β
Li Ming thought for a moment and said: "Don't move the other two airships first, since the Tartars of Guangning have returned to Shenyang, then the Tartars in Fushun, Tieling, Benxi, and the surrounding areas of Shenyang will react, and your airships of the Air Force Department must pay close attention to the situation in other directions of Shenyang." β
After ending the call with Ding Weiguo, Li Ming and Song Tao lay down in front of the map to discuss the possible location of the Guangning Tartars. Song Tao looked at the map for a while, and said with a smile: "Dude, this piece of meat is fat enough, if the more than 20,000 horse teams want to return to Shenyang quickly, then they can only cross the Liao River along the official road in Changshan." β
Li Ming nodded and said: "Put these 20,000 horse teams in, let them cross the Liao River and Pu River, and we will arrange a battlefield under Shenyang City to strive for the total annihilation of this Tartar elite horse team." β
Song Tao was stunned and said: "This is a team of 20,000 Tartar horses, and there are flat horses around Shenyang, which is suitable for the mobile combat of the Tartars." In addition, there are a lot of Tartars shrunk in Shenyang City, and they are all elites of Shangsanqi. If we set up a battlefield in Shenyang, I'm afraid the strength is not enough, don't let the Tartars scatter and flee, maybe the Huang Taiji in Shenyang will be able to take advantage of the chaos at that time. β
Li Ming sneered: "No matter how fast the Tartar horse team is, they will have to cross the Liao River and the Pu River, and it will take them at least two days to reach the city of Shenyang." For such a long time, could it be that our troops from the Gaizhou Detachment, the Yalu River Detachment, and the Laogao Eastern Theater of Operations have not been able to catch up with Shenyang? The 20,000 horse team is settled. β
Li Ming picked up the microphone and began to contact the detachments in the Western Theater, and communicated with Lao Gao, and finally determined the plan to annihilate more than 20,000 Tartar elites under the city of Shenyang.
In order to speed up the march, Gao Jianguo mobilized all the vehicles in the Eastern Theater and cobbled together a fast detachment composed of four garrison battalions to march to Shenyang along the official road. The other follow-up troops used the captured Tartar horses to form a cavalry infantry marching day and night, striving to rush to Shenyang as quickly as possible.
The Yalu River detachment led by Shi Mingfeng also accelerated the march. Hao Changfeng's Dalinghe detachment might not be able to catch up with the encirclement and annihilation campaign because of the long distance, so Li Ming simply let them deploy on the front line of the Liaohe River to block the various passages from Shenyang to the Liaohe Loop.
The motorized infantry regiment of the Gaizhou detachment led by Li Ming also increased the speed of the march, and they rushed to the banks of the Hunhe River that night. A pontoon bridge had been erected here by the engineering troops using unpowered barges, and the motorized infantry regiment quickly came to the city of Shenyang through the pontoon bridge.
When Wang Yaowu learned that Li Ming led the Gaizhou detachment to Shenyang, he hurriedly led the commanders of the Liaohe detachment to greet him. Li Ming and Song Tao stepped out of the armored car, and Wang Yaowu and other commanders of the Liaohe detachment greeted them and saluted Li Ming one after another.
Under the leadership of Chief of Staff Lin Hua, the entourage of the Western Theater Command who rushed here with Li Ming quickly set up the Western Theater Temporary Command.
Li Ming and everyone sat in the war room of the Western Theater Temporary Command, and Wang Yaowu reported to Li Ming on the situation of the Liaohe detachment. After Wang Yaowu and the soldiers and horses from the north and south rushed to Shenyang, they immediately surrounded Shenyang and sent troops to sweep the villages and towns around Shenyang. Huang Taiji sent an elite horse team of several thousand people out of the city to test it, but was repelled by Wang Yaowu.
During this period, Wang Yaowu also annihilated more than a dozen Tartars who returned to Shenyang according to the information provided by the airboat detachment. Although the number of people is not large, there are more than 2,000 people together. And they are all elite horse teams of garrisons everywhere.
After listening to Wang Yaowu's report, Li Ming said with a smile: "This time the more than 20,000 horse teams that encircled and annihilated the Tartars, it is estimated that Lao Gao and the main force of the Eastern Theater may not be able to catch up, and the plan of encirclement and annihilation will be completed by the main force of our Western Theater alone." We are sure to eat this piece of fat, but we must be careful of the Tartars in Shenyang City, and we can't let them break through the chaos. β
Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "These days, we often communicate with the intelligence personnel in the city through the guΓ² radio station, and we can basically grasp some of the dynamics of Huang Taiji, and we have made it much easier for us to blockade Shenyang." In addition, we did not use heavy artillery and machine guns for the horse team that Huang Taiji tried to go out of the city, but only used the tactics of barbed wire and rifles. Hopefully, it will paralyze the Tartars and prevent them from making a desperate bet. β
Li Ming nodded and said: "Order the engineering troops to establish a tight defensive position outside the various city gates in Shenyang, and we must not let the Tartars take advantage of the chaos to break through and trap them in Shenyang." When we annihilate this elite Tartar horse team, we will take Shenyang City and capture Huang Taiji alive. β
Suddenly, a communications staff officer ran in and shouted excitedly: "Commander, the Air Department has found the Tartar horse team." β
When Li Ming heard this, he immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Where are they now?" β
Several staff officers immediately walked to the front of the map and marked the route of the Tartar horses and their current position with colored pens.
After all, there were more than 20,000 cavalry in the Tartars, and there was no danger to defend in Shenyang City, and if we wanted to completely annihilate this enemy with the forces that could be mobilized in the Western Theater alone, it was necessary to formulate a perfect battle plan.
At this time, the communications staff officer hurriedly walked in, he handed over the microphone, and said with a solemn face: "Commander, Vice Minister of the Air Force Ding Weiguo is calling. β
Li Ming frowned, he knew that something urgent might happen. After taking the microphone, I heard Ding Weiguo on the other end of the microphone, anxiously shouting: "Li Ming, the airship patrolling northeast of Shenyang from our Air Force Department has called, and they have found a horse team of Tartars in the west of Fushun, with about 10,000 people. And there are still small groups of Tartars converging on them, and the horses are heading along the Hunhe River towards Shenyang, and they are not fast at the moment, and they may be gathering troops there, waiting for more small groups of Tartar bannermen to arrive. β
Li Ming smiled, turned his head and said to the people around him: "It's lively now, the Tartars in the direction of Fushun have already reacted, and it is estimated that the Tartars in other directions around Shenyang are also gathering troops and preparing to return to Shenyang." Originally, we only wanted to cook a table of home-cooked food, but we didn't expect to make a table of state dinner. (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
