The Xishu Army consists of 120,000 people. Once they actually launch a charge, the chances of winning are quite high.
When Xu Kun thought of this result, how could he not be moved? So he called his confidant Liu Cao and asked him for his opinion.
When Liu Cao heard in the tent that Xu Kun was actually taking the initiative to launch a real attack on the Chinese army, Liu Cao was startled, and then cautiously asked: "Master General, is there any order from the king?"
"That's not true." Xu Kun shook his head. Before setting off this time, he had obtained Wang's order, which was not to be reckless. He must be confident enough to defeat the Great Chinese Army before taking action. Otherwise, he would rather retreat safely without fighting.
, the Western Shu Army has already suffered a lot of losses before, and it cannot suffer any more losses now.
As for the fact that Xiangzhou may be lost if it fails, the King of Western Shu has already made mental preparations for this. As long as he can keep Shuzhou, it’s just Xiangzhou. If he doesn’t, there won’t be any. Anyway, now the place is densely populated with Chinese troops and foreign races.
, in fact it has already been considered lost.
It was precisely because of Wang Ling's presence that Xu Kun was able to do his job without any effort. No wonder Liu Cao was so surprised when he said he would launch an active attack.
Seemingly seeing Liu Cao's doubts, Xu Kun said: "Didn't the scouts report that the Chinese army in front of us only has a few thousand people? Also, the Japanese are really fierce in fighting. I heard that they are about to break through the Chinese army's position.
I'm afraid my husband's city will not be protected next."
After hearing this, Liu Cao finally knew the whole story and what Xu Kun meant. He wanted to take advantage.
Is it really that easy to pick up the advantage of the Dahua Army? If you don’t turn around, you will be retaliated by the Dahua Army. And even if you defeat the Dahua Army, what’s the point of capturing Zhangcheng? There is not only the Xishu Army here now
With the Dahua Army, even if one party loses, it will just let others take advantage. In the end, it is very likely that the Xishu Army will not gain any substantial benefits.
Thinking back to the last time he abandoned the city, it was the Dahua Army that gave him face so that they did not pursue him and allowed them to retreat safely. Now Liu Cao really does not want to be an enemy of the Dahua Army.
In a battle, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, there is not much benefit in the end. This is not worth the gain, isn't it? Thinking of this, Liu Cao could only shake his head slightly and said: "My lord, the matter is serious, we still need to think about it carefully.
Yes, then it would be better to call the other generals over and discuss it together."
Obviously, Liu Cao was not prepared to take the blame. Otherwise, if something happened, he would not be able to bear the blame. Even if there were benefits, he was afraid that he would not get much, so he simply proposed to bring everyone together.
Summoned, no matter what kind of decision it is, nothing can be said at that time.
"This...Okay." Xu Kun also knew that it was a bit difficult for Liu Cao's small body to handle this matter, so he nodded and said: "That being the case, I will call other generals to discuss this matter.
Things are fine."
Xu Kun on the western front was convening everyone to discuss how to deal with the situation at hand, but Kunimuraji on the eastern front had already turned red.
As the vanguard general of this battle, he was very ambitious when he arrived, with the idea of making great achievements. In his mind, his side had a numerical advantage and was the main attacking side.
The number twice that of the enemy was enough to overwhelm the opponent and win the victory. But who would have thought that the 100,000 co-prosperity troops in his hands were almost exhausted, and not only that, the 50,000 troops assigned to him by the Ikeuchi Daimyo were basically exhausted, and those who retreated
Most of them are wounded and will not be able to fight again in the short term.
It can be said that the Co-Prosperity Army tried its best, but the result was not very good. But they really tried their best, but the so-called Allies did not contribute. Especially the Xishu Army on the Western Front.
Kunimuraji has sent people to investigate. The Western Shu Army has an army of 120,000 people, but it only faces the Great Chinese Army of a few thousand people. If they want to, they can break through the Western Front with a single charge, thus forcing them to
Once they reach Zhangcheng, a loophole will appear in the Dahua Army's line, and a complete defeat is very likely.
In such a good situation, the Western Shu Army just stood still and I don't know what they were thinking. Don't they know that the existence of the Dahua Army is a huge threat to everyone?
Kunimuraji also knew that news had spread from above, saying that the navy of Great China had begun to block the connection between them and the mainland. Although the sea was very wide and boundless, and it was impossible to completely blockade it, there were some
Some transport ships rushing to the two places were unfortunately discovered, were hit, and sank into the sea.
Judging from this move, Dahua's attitude towards Japan is very unfriendly, and he even wants to destroy Japan as if it were destroying other foreign races. And Japan will definitely not tolerate this kind of Dahua.
They will be allowed to become stronger. Now that there is an opportunity, of course we must cause harm to them at all costs.
There is an old saying in the Central Plains, that is, opportunity cannot be missed, time will never come again. Kunimuraji felt that there was an opportunity in front of him, so he immediately ordered people to ask for reinforcements from the Ikeuchi Daimyo in the rear, and at the same time ordered people to go to the Western Shu Army on the west front.
Wherever they are, urge them to launch an attack immediately, otherwise, they will be held accountable. When the time comes, it will be possible to force the King of Western Shu to hand over a general to take the blame.
After doing two things in a row, Kunimuraji fell into waiting, hoping that reinforcements would come in at 50,000 or more people. In that case, he would be confident that he could break through the defensive positions of the Great Chinese Army on the eastern front once and for all.
to win this war.
Kunimura was waiting anxiously, so why weren't the commanders of the Great Chinese Army on the eastern front also waiting?
In less than two days, a total of 150,000 Communist troops launched a fierce attack on the eastern front position, which was not very wide. Although they used artillery arrays and arrow arrays to kill some of the enemies, in the end they still had
More communist troops came to the front, so that in the end the Chinese army had to engage in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat, and it was a high-intensity battle in a short period of time, causing the army to suffer heavy losses.
The number of casualties among the 30,000 First Field Army and 50,000 First Field Army reached about 5,000, and the number of wounded was as many as 30,000. That is, excluding the 10,000 from the First Firearms Brigade among the remaining half.
Of the five thousand people, there are only more than 20,000 left. But even these people are mostly exhausted and have not gotten a good rest. Instead, they have to face the possibility of going to the battlefield at any time. If the fight continues, the wounded will only be
More.
2k
More than 20,000 people sounds like a lot, but if the Communist Army returns to its previous desperate charging style, it may not be able to hold on for too long. Now, under the leadership of His Majesty, the main force of the army is launching an attack on the South Vietnamese Army in the south.
Counterattack, they must not allow any mistakes at this time. Otherwise, once they lose Zhangcheng, it will be equivalent to losing the retreat route of His Majesty's army, and they will be the sinners of the entire army.
They didn't want to be sinners, but they couldn't be sinners. After some discussion, Shen Ping'an, Sun Fuhu, Zhou Qian and others decided that even if they were to go on the field in person, they must ensure the safety of the Eastern Front. Defeat would never happen from their hands.
The determination is good, but it is naturally very difficult to implement it. Many times, war cannot be solved solely by bravery. There are too many aspects involved.
One of them is the number of troops. Before there were long-range and accurate weapons, the number of troops was often the key to determining the victory of a war. In order to increase the number of troops on the battlefield and ensure that the position is held in the future, three He and the three chiefs of staff went down to the wounded and mobilized them. They tried their best to persuade those who were slightly injured and could still fight, just so that if a fight broke out, there would be one more available soldier on the battlefield.
The efforts of the generals and staff were not in vain. Among the more than 30,000 wounded, another 10,000 were mobilized. Although their strength was probably not even half of the usual strength, if one person cut down an opponent, it could be consumed. The opponent had 10,000 people, which was quite an achievement.
And just when Shen Pingan and others were doing their best to prepare, good news finally came. The information was sent by Feiqiao. General Feng Xun, the commander of the Shanshan Guard, was leading the first batch of 20,000 Shanshan Guards. Rushing towards Zhangcheng, the distance is not even fifty miles. They have been running all the way, and now they need to prepare enough food and horse feed for them here.
"That's great, Master Feng and the others arrived just in time." When I heard that not only Feng Xun had come, but he also brought 20,000 Shanshan Guards, the news was like a shot in the arm. It reached the hearts of the generals present.
Before, I was still worried about whether the Communist Army would be able to defend if it launched another offensive after reinforcements arrived. But with these 20,000 Shanshan Guards, everything has changed. With them, it is not just a matter of defending. Once it is solved, it will definitely be a problem. There can be a beautiful counterattack.
"Come here, please immediately arrange for the kitchen to prepare meals. The amount must be sufficient and hot. Also, move some of the horse supplies in the city here. Let's do it right away." Shen Ping'an issued an order on behalf of several generals. Said.
At that moment, a correspondent went to convey the matter. Then Shen Pingan looked at the others and said, "How's it going? The Shanshan Guards are here, and 20,000 people came at once. Can we discuss a counterattack? ?”
"Counterattack, okay!" Sun Fuhu was a little excited when he heard these two words. Before, their Guiyi Army was basically crippled, but now the number of wounded accounts for more than half of the total force. He hates it the most. These Japanese Japanese ghosts can be shown how powerful they are, so naturally they will happily agree.
