Chapter 829: Cut off, go against the current
Victoria's winters are very long, but no matter how long they are, they will eventually pass.
Gangsters, interests, power, status, allies, brothers, tears, death.
In this waking world, the summer breeze has long been accustomed to the scattered snowflakes in the sky and the biting cold wind in the wilderness.
Before he knew it, he had become accustomed to winter, and perhaps along with Victoria's millions of infected people, for whom winter represented a desperate situation.
The reason why it is called a desperate situation is because there is no way out, so the winter of the heart will never pass, and for this, they must adapt to the winter.
Until one of them happened by accident.
The infected people gathered in Shengdi City suddenly found that the cold wind of the past seemed to have become softer.
The snow and ice are beginning to show signs of melting.
It turned out that after a long wait, winter in Victoria was almost over.
.....
Time passed day by day, and the summons of the infected were passed by word of mouth.
All those who learned of this information, men and women, young and old, immediately put down everything they had at hand.
Those who were about to leave the country stopped and turned back, and walked out of the mountains and forests, with nowhere to go, and those who didn't know what was wrong finally found the way forward.
With Shengdi City as the center, Xia Feng's call is like a huge whirlpool, invisibly, pulling all the infected people in the territory over.
Even though this vortex may lead some of the infected to death, they are not hesitating.
Rather than the fear of sacrifice, they are more willing to pass on their hope at the cost of their lives, and fight for the next piece of land called "hometown" for future generations and their compatriots.
A few days later.
There are a large number of infected people in Shengdi City, both inside and outside the city, and it is rare that at this moment, ordinary people and infected people are in the same city, but there is not a single riot.
The infected people supervise each other and restrain each other so as not to cause the residents of Shengdi City the slightest trouble.
They're just waiting, waiting for that person to show up.
....
Because of the ever-changing nature of the situation, new information arrives almost every few hours.
Xia Feng and the others had to discuss many times a day and adjust the combat plan in a timely manner.
Inside the conference room.
General Ormon, who had always been calm, finally felt uneasy.
"I think the time is almost up, it is impossible for the Central Army to take the initiative to attack, and if it continues to be consumed, their defensive posture will become more and more perfect."
Sami and Sargon's military generals agreed, saying that it was best for them to end the war as soon as possible in a foreign land.
However, Silver Ash, which also comes from a foreign country, does not think so.
Silver Gray stared at the map of Victoria with a serious expression.
"The pressure of the enemy army is greater than ours, and now in the southern range, the overall formation of the Central Army is inclined to the west, and according to the latest intelligence, they have abandoned most of the cities they occupied before, and it can be seen that their commanders want to shrink their defenses and avoid being broken one by one."
Looking at the map, Silver Ash continued.
"Shrinking the defense is the most conservative tug-of-war tactic, but judging from the total number of troops currently in the south of the Central Army, integrating the forces previously scattered in various cities will face a huge problem, that is, the supply pressure will increase sharply."
What Silver Gray said is very reasonable, to put it bluntly, this is the difference between free-range breeding and captivity.
You put a flock of chickens in the wild and they won't starve to death even if they don't feed them for days, or you can feed only the ones that can't find anything to eat.
But if you gather all the chickens together and put them in a designated area, then you have to meet the survival supply of all the chickens at the same time.
Of course, this is only a theoretical supply pressure, in fact, the supply lines of the Central Army are very perfect, and the economic difference between the north and the south is huge, and for this war, the supply of supply in the north must be very sufficient.
On the other hand, the Southern Coalition Army, the problem of supply can only be said to be about the same.
The Southern Military District has always had its own military grain depots in several cities along the coast, and if it has been frozen here, because the border guards have become "their own people", supplies from Sami and Sargon can also be brought in through the border.
To sum up, Silver Ash seems to have proposed a "waste" threshold, and saying it is equivalent to not saying it. ok essay network
However, an old warlord like Boss Silver is not just talking on paper.
....
"Here."
Silver Gray placed his finger on a medium-sized city on the north-south border, west-trending.
"As long as the city is taken down, it can cut off a supply line to the west."
The city of Silver Gray Finger is none other than the city of the opening battle between the north and the south, the city of Canaan.
General Ormon said immediately.
"Mr. Silver Ash, I understand your thoughts, but now that Canaan City is the lifeblood of the Central Army, it is not an exaggeration to call it the headquarters of the rear, and it is almost equivalent to a general attack of the whole army if you want to fight it, and today's Central Army is no longer only this supply line."
In other words, General Ormon also marked a city in the easterly direction of the north-south border.
The city and the city of Canaan are almost parallel on the map.
"Now the total strength of the Central Army into the south is more than 500,000, and there is a supply line in the west and one in the east.
After listening to General Ormon's concerns, the silver gray eyes were deep, and there was a kind of confidence in his voice.
"Cut off on the left, go against the flow on the right."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the conference room changed at the same time.
The people here are all military experts, and the short six words of Silver Gray have already made them understand the intention of Silver Gray's tactic.
Silver Ash picked up the pen and cut off the rear of Canaan City, explaining at the same time.
"Forcibly cut off the supply line in the city of Canaan, and then we will launch a general attack to the north from the east, facing another supply line."
Combined with the current situation, General Aumont immediately denied it.
"According to the current strength of the enemy and our side, we can only aim to recapture the south, and it is really unrealistic to counterattack in the north."
Silver Ash continued.
"Yes, we don't need to really counterattack the north, but we have to fight with the goal of counterattacking the north, and convince the Central Army that we really have the ability to counterattack the north."
....
The tactics that Silver Gray said were very simple, and they were almost all understood by elementary school students.
But if you want to evolve from paper to actual combat, the conditions that need to be met are suffocatingly complex.
There are several conditions that must be met.
First, the number of troops to capture Canaan City must be small, Canaan City is almost the rear of the enemy formation, and it cannot be detected during the march, and once it is exposed, it will immediately face siege and killing.
Second, the surprise attack on Canaan City and the counteroffensive of the whole army in the east must coincide with the time, and it is necessary to create a false impression for the Central Army that Canaan City must be abandoned, otherwise the rebel army will directly insert itself into the north.
If the offensive is not strong, the Central Army may choose to recapture the city of Canaan first, or divide its forces to contain it.
To put it bluntly, the commanders on both sides are not fools, this is a psychological game, even if the city of Canaan is lost, the supply of the Central Army will not have an impact in a short time, and it will not be to the extent that the soldiers are hungry.
But in the case of large-scale migration marches, the stability of supply lines is very important, and in the long run, it is also fatal.
.....
The conference room fell silent.
Silver Gray's proposal was not the safest plan, and it smacked of a sword going off the rails.
But it is undeniable that if you strike first in this way, the initiative will undoubtedly be on your side.
General Omon was lost in thought, and the generals of Sami and Sargon were hesitant to decide which force would attack the city of Canaan, surrounded by the Central Army.
Seeing everyone's demeanor, Silver Ash raised the corners of his mouth.
"Don't worry, since this is my proposal, I'll take on the most challenging part."
Silver Gray looks at the summer breeze next to it.
"Xia Feng, I believe in you, the timing of the general attack will be handed over to you to grasp, if you also believe me, attack Qiganan City, leave it to me."
