Chapter 748 Chapter 17.22 (Part 2) There is no such thing as luck
On March 30, the Royal Saber Regiment, which Ang went to exterminate the rebels, was repeatedly harassed in the southern mountains and the battle line was stretched. Of course, the arrogant Ang general thought that they had beaten the mudbloods to flee in pursuit.
In the end, the rebels found an opportunity to destroy the arrogance of the Anglos in a reasonable terrain.
In the mountainous area, Zuocao led the troops wearing leggings and marched quickly in the mountainous area carrying war supplies. Along the way, there were carriage supply points that were one step ahead. Bread was prepared in advance and distributed to the marching troops one by one.
Wei Keng: Urgent march is not only about iron will, but also the mathematics of advance overall planning. How much food should be prepared at each supply point? What is the throughput of soldiers? These must be calculated.
At the final siege site, mortar shells fell into the semi-mechanical crowd of the Anglo Sabres.
As the charge horn of the rebel army sounded, the troops held rifles and began to charge downhill, wiping out this cruel troop in black uniforms in one fell swoop.
The Saber Corps is said to be cruel because when they captured straggler prisoners of the rebel army, they resorted to the torture method of cutting off human brains to extract confessions.
As for such torture, not only did it not frighten the resisters, but it aroused a fight-to-die momentum among the rebels.
The rebels from the colonial mainland often lacked culture. In the past, when these mutinous soldiers encountered brutal suppression during the uprising and there was no hope, they might adopt the same cruel methods to retaliate against the residents of the Anglo regions.
But Wei Keng had a brain. During this uprising, he strengthened ideological education from the beginning and proposed a "revolution together" posture. In short, he used all means to bring together the oppressed people of the middle and lower classes in the Anglo area.
Dry,
In April, the entire revolutionary team began an active sneak attack and captured the surrounding villages. There was no mercy at this time. They shot all the big Anglo nobles. After the grain assets were distributed to the locals, they were also taken away by force.
Young and strong.
After taking away the locals, they started to eat together, sleep together, and spread the ideas of the oppressors.
This may not be so effective, the Anglos are Anglos, and the southern colonials are backward colonial natives.
However, with the suppression of the local security forces, these locals who were originally preparing to report the situation were directly captured by the Anglo security personnel, and then hanged on the gallows. This kind of killing seemed to confirm that everyone really belonged to the same family.
The oppressed.
On May 4th, when the Great Rebellion reached its peak and the total number of people expanded to 100,000, Zuo Cao banged his fist on the table, laid down the concept of combat, and began the operation to obtain supplies for the Anglo Railway line.
Zuocao dispatched five regiments to create momentum in major cities, and then wore Anglo military uniforms and sneaked into a material transfer area. After entering the defensive position, he quickly seized the position, bombarded the headquarters with explosive packs, and robbed three of the three supplies stored here.
Thousands of tons of supplies and two locomotives.
Of course, this really pissed off Anglo. The Anglo Prime Minister personally asked about the matter, and the military also asked about the southern rebel uprising, and sent a telegram to quickly suppress it.
…In terms of fate, Wei Keng’s body is always at odds with the gods’ chess pieces.…
In the frontline combat unit on May 10, Lance looked in front of him with a frown on his face, while the orderly beside him was holding an encrypted document from behind, waiting for his approval.
The difference machines in the army were buzzing, deciphering the pieces of paper delivered by carrier pigeons. The masters at the rear sent urgent messages in various tones.
But the core content is the same. There is a small problem with the supplies in the rear, but it can be solved quickly.
In the command module, Lance took off his clothes in the Land Cruiser's diesel engine room, took off his electrician's gloves, put on white gloves, and opened the military map of the southern part of the country. Lance looked at the various base groups here and there, annoyed.
The upper-class men have been getting along with the rebels in the past few years, but now at the most critical moment of the country's destiny, such a big mistake has been made.
But after carefully checking the tactics, his eyes became serious - he vaguely remembered this style of play and this kind of "local organizational ability"
He quickly sent a warning telegram to the rear, ordering them to use absolute military force to suppress this threat while it was still looming.
And he used Iron Star as an example. If the Sky Empire had the determination to invest hundreds of thousands of troops in mopping up the empire at the beginning, subsequent rebellions would not have happened.
Note: Sherry was his wife at this time. They had a son and a daughter (twins) this year. They had a very good relationship. Sherry never mentioned her past identity as the princess of the Sky Empire, but
However, Lance always remembered that he and his wife were beaten hard by the Iron Star rebels.
...The aristocratic life in Shakespeare's literature does exist. Those princes sat in such a stylish environment and coldly issued decisions to suppress the common people...
Lance's article fell into obscurity, or in other words, after being read by the political officers of the Anglo-Southeast Region, they scoffed and threw it into the wastebasket.
Lance's so-called strong suppression would require the deployment of several regiments, 200,000 troops, and even aerial gunships.
Administrative Officer: "You really think that the empire's finances are very rich, right?"
The empire can now send away three to four hundred thousand troops a year, but it cannot support an additional 200,000 troops, because the railways, ammunition, and military uniforms required to maintain the troops in one year are far greater than the size of the formation of an army.
The Anglos were weak, so it was not worth using such a large force. The political officials decided to use second-line troops to deal with them at a lower cost.
Of course, Lance is right. Facing such a rebellion now, it is not a matter of suppressing it and saving a little money, but the sooner the better.
Although it is difficult for any rebellion in the Anglo to develop to a large scale, Lance was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
…The first time in history is like the first ignition of wet wood. It is difficult to succeed, but someone has to try...
On May 26, the Anglo extermination force was in place. However, after he was in place, the rebels quickly marched to the railway station and seized a large amount of supplies.
This news caused the Anglo political officials to issue an urgent order, ordering the overseas general to quickly sweep away this group of rebels. This order was so urgent that the general did not have time to understand the battlefield information.
After May 27, the general immediately launched a counterattack, recaptured the railway station occupied by the rebels, and began to pursue the troops who fled after the uprising failed.
On June 1, after four days of pursuit, many rebel strongholds were captured.
Unknowingly, this suppressive force, which was originally part of the Anglo second line, already thought it was invincible. After learning that the rebel commander was in the front, it began to boldly attack, for fear of letting the rebels escape. During the assault,
, and even lost some heavy artillery pieces,
However, there was a big pit waiting for him ahead, and Zuo Cao's strategy was to advance rashly.
...Under God's deliberate favoritism, Wei Keng remained the same and kept coming...
When the central division of the suppression army hurriedly assaulted the rubble hills in the mountains, Zuocao used six times the force to surround it, and used three times the short-barreled light artillery of the Anglo pursuit corps to suppress fire.
Of course, this process was almost not completed due to an accident, because the main force responsible for the siege suddenly encountered special rainfall, sudden increase in precipitation, and a series of other problems.
Thanks to Wei Keng's reconnaissance of the terrain, he immediately launched a backup plan and changed the direction of crossing the river. The bridge-building troops completed the bridge construction within four hours, completing the task on time.
But in the process, six people accidentally slipped and fell into the water while driving the machine, including a separate satellite.
In this rebellious war from bottom to top, the luck of the Wei Keng has always been negative.
