One thousand and seventy-eight chapters cut off one finger
Fighting means fighting for money. Tang Ao now fully understands this. In his last life, he was just the boss of a family with tens of thousands of people, so he already had to make every decision carefully, because one wrong decision could lead to serious consequences.
It would cause problems for the group, and it would be a problem for tens of thousands of people to eat. But now, he controls the land of ten states, and has more than one million troops and people under his rule, which makes him even more unable to make mistakes.
Sitting in the original yamen of Zhangcheng City, Tang Ao could not help but watch a group of staff officers busy formulating various battle plans and various plans on how to remedy a crisis.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since the establishment of the Dahua Army, one of the things that he is most proud of is the establishment and existence of the General Staff Department.
After years of development, they have finally grown up. With the collective efforts of everyone, they have been able to ensure that the army will not make mistakes when attacking and defending, or in other words, it has greatly reduced the possibility of making mistakes.
As the saying goes, one person's skills are short, and everyone's skills are strong.
No matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably be confused sometimes, but now that there are so many people working together to come up with ideas and check for gaps, the possibility of problems naturally becomes much smaller, and Tang Ao can
Feel free to leave the formulation of military plans to them.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Tang Ao walk in from outside the hall, the two deputy commanders, Wei Chao and Ye Fan, quickly came forward to salute.
"No courtesy, I just came to take a look. Well, how is the situation now?" Tang Ao strode in. Behind him, Shi Lei and others guarded the door of the temporary conference hall of the General Staff to ensure that no one could come.
This disturbs the people here.
After hearing Tang Ao's question, the two deputy ministers looked at each other, and Ye Fan reported first: "Your Majesty, based on the information sent by Feiqin and Longya, we can confirm that the opponent is indeed 720,000 people. This number is
There is no adulteration.”
"Yeah." Tang Ao nodded lightly. Although this number sounds overwhelming, considering that it is the result of the three parties, it is not surprising. Think about it, even the Xiongnu can come up with these.
A large number of troops, and they also have tribesmen under Tang Ao's control. So whether it is Japan or South Vietnam, which is not controlled by Tang Ao at all, it is not surprising that they would produce these slave soldiers.
Seeing that Tang Ao's face was intact, Ye Fan continued to report: "Your Majesty, although there are many enemies, they also have their weaknesses, that is, it is impossible to have the same mind, and everyone is thinking of watching other people's jokes, so as to preserve their strength, and even
Are they still holding on to the idea of picking up bargains, which prevents them from truly uniting. In view of this, can we adopt a differentiated approach to break their alliance? "
"Treat them differently, how are you going to do it?" Tang Ao agreed with this concept, but he just didn't know how to implement it specifically.
Next, when reporting on specific matters, it was naturally Chang Wei Chao who stood up for the first time. "Your Majesty, this is what the staff has considered. Once the enemy launches a full-scale attack, we will respond with a focused counterattack. Specifically, that is
Hit one side first and inflict pain on them, and our idea is to target the South Vietnamese army and hit them first."
"Yes." Tang Ao nodded again and said: "It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them. This idea is right. But why should it be put on the South Vietnamese Army?"
Listening to Tang Ao's question, Wei Chao said firmly: "There are two reasons. First, the South Vietnamese army is not strong, especially their policy towards slave soldiers. It can be described as inhuman. Such an army
It is destined to have little morale and not very strong combat effectiveness. Once it encounters our key attack, there is a high probability that it will be defeated. But if it is replaced by the Japanese Co-Prosperity Army, it will be completely different.
As for why we didn’t choose the Western Shu Army, after all, they are still our comrades and have not completely fallen to the side of the foreigners, so we should still give them some opportunities."
After saying this, Wei Chao took a deep breath and said the second reason, "As for the second reason, the South Vietnamese deserve to be beaten."
"Do you deserve a beating?" Upon hearing this reason, Tang Ao was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Yes, the South Vietnamese really deserved a beating, especially their commander-in-chief, Qiu Suisui, who dared to insult Concubine Zhao. Based on this, he could not be let go.
"That's good. That's it. Just follow the final opinions of the staff. After formulating the plan, just notify which armies are needed to cooperate and prepare." Tang Ao smiled and nodded.
Among them, the security force around Qiu Suisui is very strong, and there is information from Longya. Dai Mubai, the former chief of the Imperial Guard of Daqian, has also joined this person. It is basically impossible to carry out an assassination.
, then we can only find their unhappiness on the battlefield.
Tang Ao wanted Qiu Suisui to know what he could say in the future and what he absolutely couldn't say, not even to provoke anyone.
After getting Tang Ao's permission, the staff began to formulate a battle plan. After final discussions between the two deputy chiefs and more than fifty staff officers, the battle plan was finally released, and it was decided to defend in the east, defend in the west, and defend in the south.
Attack plan.
The so-called "West Guard" refers to a defensive posture facing the Japanese Co-Prosperity Army to the east.
Judging from the battles some time ago, the Co-Prosperity Army cannot be underestimated in terms of combat effectiveness and cohesion. It is not wrong to say that it is the strongest among the three forces. Facing such an opponent, one needs to be extra careful, so on this side,
Nearly a firearms brigade was placed there, and nearly two more brigades of infantry were placed there. At the same time, in order to ensure that the charge of the Communist Army was blocked, the entire 30,000-strong Guiyi Army was also placed here.
The staff department's requirement for them is not to kill or injure many enemies. As long as they don't let the enemies get too close, the mission will be completed and victory will be considered.
Western defense refers to taking advantage of the strong terrain to take a defensive posture against the Western Shu Army in the west. To be honest, the opponent only has 120,000 people. Their strength is the weakest among the three, and their attack power is also
At the lowest level, the Chinese Army really didn't take them seriously. They only had one brigade of 15,000 people, a few archers and a dozen artillery pieces.
The southern attack refers to the 300,000 South Vietnamese troops coming from the south.
Long Ya had already sent information. Among the 300,000 South Vietnamese Army, there were only 250,000 slave soldiers. The real South Vietnamese Army cavalry was only 50,000 people. So the real opponent was these 50,000 people.
That’s all.
And as long as they can attack suddenly and catch their opponent by surprise, and change from defense to offense, the South Vietnamese will definitely not notice it. Not only that, with their usually very unfriendly attitude towards those slave soldiers, they don't even treat them as human beings.
In terms of means, as long as the Chinese army can gain an advantage, those slave soldiers may not work for the South Vietnamese army, and things may happen on the battlefield anyway.
And since it was necessary to attack suddenly and catch the opponent by surprise, it was impossible to accomplish it with infantry alone, so this important task finally fell into Tang Ao's hands.
As the emperor, Tang Ao should not go to the battlefield in person. It is not impossible for the imperial commander to go to the battlefield in person, but if the number of times is too many, it will increase the danger. As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will easily encounter ghosts.
There was an accident, what should Dahua do next?
Especially until now, Tang Ao is already twenty-seven years old, but he doesn't even have an heir. This was already a special case at the time. In this era where people will get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen and may become a father,
Tang Ao has long made people worried about this matter.
But when at the military meeting, the General Staff Headquarters came up with a combat plan and assigned specific tasks, Tang Ao took the initiative to take on this main attack task alone. In the end, he glanced around and said: "This way.
The important thing requires breaking through the enemy's defense line in the shortest time and disrupting the enemy's offensive deployment as quickly as possible. Is there anyone else who can do it better besides me?"
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." Wei Chao, as the first commander, stood up and stopped him.
"That's right, Your Majesty, our Shanshan Guard's Tiger Brigade can also complete this mission." Brigadier Zhou Jinwen stood up and said with a blushing face.
Tang Ao actually said in front of their generals that no one could complete the combat mission better than him. Isn't that just a slap in the face? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Tang Ao and didn't dare to be disrespectful,
I'm afraid he would have pointed at the other person's face and scolded him angrily.
"Okay, I know that your Tiger Brigade has two regiments of heavy cavalry, but they can charge into battle, but when it comes to quick attacks, they can't penetrate the battlefield. Well, let's do this, you still have a light cavalry regiment for me.
Let them attack with me. And you, please serve as my deputy." Tang Ao smiled when he saw Zhou Jinwen standing up and joined him in this plan.
As soon as he heard that he could fight with Tang Ao, Zhou Jinwen immediately opened his beautiful mouth and said with a smile that almost reached his ears: "Okay, everything will be subject to your Majesty's orders."
Well, Zhou Jinwen was won over like this, and he still stood on Tang Ao's side. Wei Chao and Ye Fan looked at each other after seeing it, and could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. According to their plan, Brigadier Zhou Jinwen was originally going to lead the army.
The best general candidate for the expedition, but now they have been convinced by Tang Ao, and they still have such nonsense opinions.
Tang Ao took the initiative to stand up and accepted the important task. The biggest problem was solved. The next step was how to cooperate. The generals below inevitably quarreled again. For no other reason, everyone wanted to make meritorious deeds.
The meaning of making meritorious deeds, especially if you can make meritorious deeds in front of His Majesty, is completely different.
