Chapter 247: Sentinel Battle

"Report! Deputy Commander Chen, the Dutch are already preparing, and then it looks like they want to take the initiative to attack us! ”

Chen Liyan immediately picked up the binoculars, and then sure enough, he saw that the Dutch army was already preparing to attack, obviously packing up weapons and equipment, and then preparing to attack. And this time the Dutch were going to take the initiative to attack, so they took the initiative to attack, and many people felt strange.

"Deputy Commander Chen, didn't they Dutch just killed more than twenty generals by us? How could we attack so quickly, how could the morale inside recover so quickly, and it may not be our opponent to attack so directly! A staff officer asked.

And Chen Liyan immediately said: "Actually, things are very simple, that is, they can't wait." It's not that they don't know that they can't defeat us at once with such a direct attack, they must be thinking that they can make us suffer a little loss, so that they may be able to restore their morale. After all, as an army that has just been demoralized, no matter how much it boosts morale, no matter how much it can be promoted, the best way to restore the morale of the soldiers is to win a battle, even if it is just a small victory, it is enough to gradually restore the confidence of the soldiers. If you don't win the battle, then no matter how much you try to boost morale, you are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. ”

In war, the ultimate way to improve the morale of soldiers is to win a battle. If we keep losing the war and people don't see hope, then I am afraid that no matter how much the political workers can brag and boost their morale, they will not be able to keep the morale of the soldiers high. High morale can restore the confidence of the soldiers, otherwise you will not be able to restore the confidence of the soldiers, no matter how much you appease. Even if you manage to restore the morale of the political workers, then you will not be able to restore the morale if you lose the battle again immediately. Therefore, the Dutch army had to fight a victory in order to restore the morale of the Taiwanese army. So at this time, in fact, the Dutch were in a hurry. Hopefully a win will restore your morale.

And in the Dutch barracks, and then Adenauer, who had been given the command of the commander-in-chief, Bruce, was speaking to those who were preparing for battle.

"Master Emmons, we're going to see you next. This battle, if we can get some victories, should be able to restore the morale of our Dutch army. So. In this battle, you can only succeed and not lose. Also, you are a person who has just been promoted, and if you can't make some achievements, then I can't say anything about them. When the time comes, those aristocratic bureaucrats will definitely take the opportunity to suppress you. In order to promote you, I have paid a huge price for my hard work, don't embarrass me! Adenauer said.

And this Emmons division commander immediately said: "I respectfully follow the orders of Admiral Adenauer, this time I was finally able to be directly promoted from regimental commander to division commander." Thanks to Admiral Adenauer's attention, without your attention and appreciation, I am afraid that I would not have been able to improve. This time I must win a battle, and tell those nobles and bureaucrats that we can win the battle too! ”

Now Adenauer is actually forced to go to Liangshan, because Adenauer has been given full authority to command the war by that Bruce, and the first thing he did when he took office was to reorganize the army. The first thing Adenauer did was to put the army in order, and then put all the vacant positions in place for those who were familiar with the battle. An officer who climbed up step by step from the bottom. If that's the case, that's fine, but Adenauer still took the initiative to strictly enforce military discipline. Anyone who commits the slightest violation of military discipline is to be suspended from his post. Now those aristocratic officers are really sad, those aristocratic officers' ordinary aristocratic life and various aristocratic styles have also been brought to the army, how can those nobles live the same life as soldiers. Therefore, the aristocracy also has preferential treatment in the army, and although many military disciplines are established, they cannot control those officers who are from noble backgrounds.

And Adenauer was authorized to command, first of all, to strictly enforce military discipline. Anyone who fails to observe military discipline is also suspended from his post. Then let a cold officer be brought to act as an agent, so that the situation of reorganizing the army can be achieved. As for Adenauer's behavior, it was also Yan zhòng who affected the interests of those noble officers, and they went to the Bruce to complain. However, Bruce also knew that he couldn't engage in infighting with Adenauer at this time, and he had the most credit for winning anyway. Lost Adenauer to carry the black pot.

However, although Bruce calculated Adenauer, he still hoped to win in his heart. This war is not only about the interests of the country, but also about the honor and disgrace of one's own family. As for the calculation, Adenauer is just staying behind, and he still hopes that this war can be won, so that he can obtain military merits and make the family more prosperous.

Therefore, Bruce knew that Adenauer's behavior was against the interests of the noble officers, but they were also a little blind, and Bruce just reminded Adenauer to let Adenauer do his best to win, and then he could gag the mouths of those noble officers.

Therefore, Adenauer was forced to go to Liangshan, and if he could not achieve the results of the battle, he would not be able to convince those noble officers. Those aristocratic officers are not easy to mess with, they all have a very strong political status in the country, if they can't be persuaded by the actual results, then I am afraid that they will definitely make waves in the army, and then drag themselves back. This feeling is very frustrating, after all, not only to face the enemy on the front line, but also to face his own internal turmoil, this is the most helpless part of Adenauer.

Therefore, a victory is not only an opportunity to establish one's prestige, but also an opportunity to silence those noble officers. So now Adenauer is forced to send troops to fight, hoping to defeat the Taiwanese army and get a small victory, and then be able to shut up those noble officers.

"Your Excellency General, I hope that our Fifth Division will be able to get some special support this time, otherwise I really don't have the confidence to defeat those Taiwanese." Emmons said.

"What do you want?" Adenauer asked.

"Artillery!" Emmons replied.

Half an hour later, the fifth division of the Dutch army immediately began to rush out of the barracks, and then they formed a formation and then prepared to attack the Taiwanese army.

"Report, a part of the Dutch army set out, about a division or so, and they attacked our left flank."

Chen Liyan immediately estimated the map, and then began to look at the map and said: "Our left flank is the troops of Tan Xiao of our second division, and they are probably going to concentrate on attacking one point. ”

"According to the report, according to the analysis of the information we have obtained, this division of the Dutch army is probably going to attack the junction of our second division and the 202nd and 203rd regiments, which is where our firepower is relatively weak. However, they think they want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a big victory, not to attack us with all their might. If they want to attack us with all their might, it will be impossible to defeat us, and they will put themselves in a big crisis. Therefore, this battle is only a skirmish, and it is impossible for them to defeat us. Song Yang, acting director of the Operations Division of the Nanyang Military Region, said.

At present, Song Yang has been transferred from the former deputy chief of staff of the Marine Division to the operations department of the Nanyang Military Region as the acting chief, and the former chief of operations has been promoted to become the deputy chief of staff of the Nanyang Military Region. Because the original deputy chief of staff, You Zihui, was in charge of the Lanfang Military Region and the garrison, a new deputy chief of staff was now set up to take over You Zihui's original duties, so the chief of operations was promoted. The post of deputy chief of staff of the Song Yang Marine Corps, who was sent to serve as the chief of operations of the Nanyang Military Region, was not promoted in terms of rank, but his responsibilities were heavier, and he undertook the operational planning work of the entire Nanyang Military Region.

This is Wang Guorui received a report from Li Yuanhong, commander of the Marine Division, and then proposed a personnel appointment. After an interview with Chen Liyan, Chen Liyan also agreed to the appointment plan. And now everyone knows that Song Yang has been directly promoted from a deputy battalion-level staff officer to a regimental-level officer in just two or three years. Moreover, he is also the chief of operations of the first military region, and his future will definitely be better in the future. What's more, he is only twenty-one years old, this is the most important place, young and high-level, this is definitely a promising future. You must know that Hu Wei and his senior executives are also about ten years older than him, and they may be able to become their successors in the future.

"Well, then we'll wait for them to come, and we'll all see how powerful these Dutch are! Just sent a division over, so isn't this looking for his own death? Our 202 and 203 regiments can completely clean them up. Sue Tan Xiao, if he can't defeat those Dutch who don't go into the stream, it will be a disgrace to our second division. Then I, the general of the second division, will not let him go. Chen Liyan said.

Chen Liyan is a general from the Second Division, so naturally he will not be willing to let the Second Division lose the battle. If the second division fails, then there is no need to be polite to Tan Xiao, the successor. Next, let him clean up the Dutch, so that he can teach the Dutch a lesson. And this is also the first battle of Tan Xiao's new officer, and everyone will doubt whether he, a general who was born as an engineer brigade commander, can do a good job, so this is the time to test his new officer's three fires. Only by fighting this battle well can the soldiers of the Second Division be convinced of him, the new division commander who was transferred from outside the engineering brigade.
