Section 97 There is no choice
readx;
Ling Tianfang and Kang Jianguo did not expect that the determination and courage of the Luobei people would suddenly become so great this time, in fact, the first, third, and fifth legions went to the Northern Plains, After the Heshuo and Guanxi lines, the entire northern border line, including the Northwest County, has no other legions without a single soldier, and the defense of this area has actually been handed over to the Gerok Legion, although the Gerok Legion has more than any of the eight legions in Western Xinjiang, and the army of as many as six elite divisions is more than 130,000 people, but from Yulin in the east to Yinchuan in the west, the long border line still makes Kang Jianguo feel a headache. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info fortunately, the Poole and Kaman people suffered a great loss of vitality after the last northern campaign, and they could not pose a threat to the northern defense line of the entire western Xinjiang in the short term, otherwise Kang Jianguo would not dare to take on this task so much.
But the Gerok people are always not so reassuring, in the line from Gerok to Yulin, Kang Jianguo had to place at least two divisions as a deterrent, and Taixuan because Jiayuguan was firmly in his hands, there was no need to station troops anymore, and a garrison wing was completely enough to maintain local law and order, but the location of Ganlan Fortress and Jiayuguan was too important for Kang Jianguo to dare not ignore, and the two divisions were not too much to be placed here. Northwest County, as the capital of Western Xinjiang, is also on the edge of the Tengger grassland, and it stands to reason that at least one division should be stationed, but due to the serious shortage of reserves, Kang Jianguo had to temporarily use a division stationed in Qingyang as a reserve.
It was not unexpected for Ling Tianfang and Kang Jianguo, the eastern offenders of the Luope people, but neither of them expected that the process of the eastern aggression of the Luope people this time would be so strange, grinding and hesitating in the early stage, but in the later stage, it was as fast as lightning, and in just a few days, it swept through the entire East Tengger Grassland, and pushed the spearhead of the attack to the hinterland of Western Xinjiang at once. And the troops he arranged on the line from Yinchuan to Qingyang originally only had three divisions, plus the three divisions brought by Ying Jianming, who had just arrived in Qingyang, and the strength in his hands was only six divisions. Northwest County is different from East Tengger County, after so many years of development, the emergence of a large number of market towns has made Qingyang and Yinchuan a well-deserved rich place, if the Luope people are allowed to act arbitrarily, not only will the development of the two provinces over the years be ruined, but also will make the people of Northwest doubt the ability of the Western Xinjiang regime to maintain the safety of their lives and property, which is not only a great insult to the military of Western Xinjiang, but also a great challenge to the ruling authority of His Royal Highness King Qin in Western Xinjiang, no matter from any point of view, this is unacceptable。
However, the situation in front of the two of them was extremely grim, and more than 250,000 Luo Pei invading troops on the north and east lines formed two huge attack arrows on the East Tengger Grassland, and after sacking Huohuaji and Daqingshan, they viciously pounced on the two provinces in the west of Northwest County, and how to fight this battle became a difficult problem in front of them. It turned out that the two ranger regiments stationed on the East Tengger Grassland were transferred to the Western Regions to cooperate with Helianbo and Huyanqiu because of the invasion of the Western Regions by the invading army of Luobei, which forced Ling Tianfang to urgently withdraw the four ranger regiments back to the northwest from the original line of Heshuo. If there were four ranger regiments and six army divisions to fight, Ling Tianfang and Kang Jianguo were still quite sure of this battle, but the sudden tension in the clouds made the imperial civil war imminent, His Royal Highness King Qin only agreed to the fourth and fifth two ranger regiments to return west, while the second and sixth two ranger regiments were pressed on the Yulin and Qinghe lines together with the third army corps, and the first army corps, which was originally used as the general reserve, also quietly marched east to reach the Longquan line, and the thick war clouds shrouded over the east and west lines almost at the same time.
There were some gray clouds in the sky, which seemed to foreshadow the mood of the two, standing at the head of Qingyang City, Ling Tianfang's face was gloomy and he looked directly at the sky in the distance without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through the enemy hidden behind the thick clouds. Now it is too late to let the people retreat strategically, the speed of the Luope people is too fast, almost to loot one place at a time, burning, killing and plundering, more like the last madness, which shows that Tu Da has changed his previous idea of trying to defeat Western Xinjiang militarily, and wants to use their mobility to destroy the economic base and influence of Western Xinjiang in this region. This strategy was not unintoxicating, and a large number of Luobei merchants and small and medium-sized nobles who were friendly with the western Xinjiang were confiscated and even directly executed for collaborating with the enemy, indicating that they had completely abandoned their policy of somewhat restraint and turned into a policy of open challenge. Ling Tianfang didn't know if this was just the opinion of the Luo Pei military represented by Tu Da or the opinion of the entire Luo Pei upper echelon, but no matter who it represented, this at least showed that this kind of view had regained the upper hand in Luo Pei's upper echelons, otherwise Tu Da would not have taken such a frenzied approach.
If you want to prevent this evil effect from happening in Qingyang Mansion, the only way is to take the initiative to meet the enemy, but the Luope people's unprecedentedly powerful mobility ability is unmatched, and three of the six divisions in their hands have just been reorganized from the Fourth Army of the Empire, according to Ling Tianfang's opinion after inspection, in addition to the first division that has been directly controlled by Ying Jianming, the remaining two divisions can not adapt to field warfare at all, at most they can assume the responsibility of defending the city, this is because the Luope people almost do not have the ability to attack fortifications。 In other words, there are only four divisions and two ranger regiments of 150,000 people who can pull out of the city to fight the Luope people, and how can they win this battle in the face of the Luope iron cavalry, which far exceeds their own strength?
Thinking of this, Ling Tianfang couldn't help but sigh secretly, to a certain extent, the battle was no longer able to turn the tide by using tactics and stratagems, just like the last Tengger War, the Western Xinjiang Army, which had a strong armed force that surpassed the other party, could advance steadily and steadily according to its own strategic intentions without hurrying, forcing the Luope people to have to fight a decisive battle according to their own intentions, so as to solve the war perfectly, but now the situation has reversed, and the enemy's 400,000 iron cavalry has actually been divided into eastern, On the southern two fronts, strong mobility and assault capabilities, coupled with the potential weakness of their own side, forced themselves to go out of the city to defend themselves against the enemy outside the country, this kind of field battle is undoubtedly the most tempting for the Luope cavalry, perhaps if their side wants not to lose this battle, they will have to work hard in this regard.
Seeing that Ling Tianfang's deep gaze had been staring at the front without moving, Kang Jianguo, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but suppress the impatience in his heart, and patiently waited for the military affairs chief to return from the fugue, the Luo Pei cavalry had approached the northwest border line at this time, perhaps because they were worried that the western frontier would ambush strange soldiers in this area, so they once again put their speed full, and the scout team was stepping up the search for this area to clear the potential danger, it seems that Tu Da was preparing to destroy the northwest this time to avenge the defeat by His Royal Highness the King of Qin。 Fielding, the governor of the northwest, has twice reminded himself that he is extremely considerate of the interests and emotions of the people in the northwest, and hinted that His Royal Highness the King of Qin only agrees to give up East Tengger County, but absolutely does not say that even the interests of the northwest county can be sacrificed, which makes Kang Jianguo even more irritable, once this Fielding is transferred to the army and politics, he no longer cares about the difficulties of the military, and only considers the problem from his point of view, but he does not say these words to Ling Tianfang, and only cares about the noise in his ears, which really makes him anxious. The frightened wind met the slow Langzhong, and although the military affairs director in front of him seemed to be in a bad mood, he didn't seem to see him show any excess, I don't know if it was difficult to make a decision, of course, Kang Jianguo hoped that the former result would be better.
"Jianguo, you said that if you let this Luobei people choose to annihilate our army and sack the two mansions of Yinchuan and Qingyang, which one will they choose?" The abrupt question made the unprepared Kang Jianguo not react for a long time, and after thinking carefully for a long time, Kang Jianguo vaguely realized what the military director had in mind.
"According to normal terms, Tu Da will naturally choose to annihilate our army, after all, according to the traditional concept of the Luope people, military strength is the only factor that determines the outcome of the war, if there is an opportunity to annihilate our military force, they will not let it go. But this time, the Luope people's intentions seem to have changed somewhat, as if they are more inclined to destroy the economic foundation in our western Xinjiang territory, I don't know if they are worried that they will not be able to meet our army head-on in the field or if they have really changed their concepts, but according to Jianguo, if the bait is big enough, the dog can't change and eat, they will definitely pounce like mad dogs. Kang Jianguo's eyes flashed, as if he had seen something.
"Well, that's a good point, dogs can't change their, even if the Luope people have realized this, but their traditional concept wants to change is not a moment or a half, as long as we have enough bait, I believe that the fish will bite the hook, but this bait is too big, I need to consider whether it is cost-effective." Ling Tianfang actually knew in his heart that he had no choice, compared to the political and economic losses, as long as he could win, no matter how big the price was, he had to give it up, because he had no choice.
