Chapter 331 The Ming army has the ability to build a trench wall at sea!
Ren Shuangyou held a meeting of generals above the regiment level in the newly built large military city next to Jinzhou City to make final arrangements for the upcoming war. He also unified the officers' thinking and let them know the overall strategy for the war.
"Chief of Staff Yu, please tell us about the current situation between the enemy and us." Ren Shuangyou saw the crowd seated and ordered Yu Jian, the chief of staff of the Jinzhou former enemy command headquarters, to give an overall briefing on the compiled military situation.
"Currently, Jianlu has assembled about 100,000 troops on the front line of Hongzui Fort in Fuzhou. In the past ten days, it has dispatched nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, with Niulu as a unit, to attack our army in advance.
Under the pressure of the enemy, most of our army's reconnaissance teams have retreated to the defense line of Jinzhou Army Fort. The staff judged that within ten days they will launch a general offensive against our Jinzhou rib defense offensive. At present, our army
The 307th Brigade and the 315th Brigade are stationed at the Jinzhou Rift Defense Line, and more than 2,000 troops from the 320th Brigade and the Navy are stationed in the Lushun Port Defense Area. This is the basic situation."
"Chief of Staff, have all the reconnaissance teams returned to camp?" Ren Shuangyou hadn't seen Wang Er in the past few days, so he asked his question.
"Except for Wu Weibo's platoon, Zhang Ermao, Niu Qiang and other three platoons of the organized reconnaissance teams have all returned to camp. However, some platoons have suffered relatively large losses. According to statistics, there are more than 300 platoons.
Soldier casualties!”
"Wang Er and the others haven't come back? Zhang Ermao and Niu Qiang used to be his subordinates, right? These guys haven't come back yet. They probably weren't made dumplings by the bandits. They probably stayed behind enemy lines intentionally! Ignore them. Leave them all alone.
The reconnaissance team returned to the camp was reorganized into a combat reinforcement regiment. It was under the unified command of the headquarters. It was mainly used to support the defense areas where the war was tight, and to penetrate the enemy's military formations when necessary to facilitate the communication between the two defense areas of Jinzhou and Lushun.
"Contact." Forming elite troops into an assault group to penetrate the defense line is Ren Shuangyou's most accustomed way of combat. In the past, he often undertook combat tasks in this area, so before the war started, the first thing he thought of was to form such a force. For Wang Er
He didn't return to the camp, so he wasn't too worried. Where was this guy's combat power? He couldn't just let the Qing army deal with him quietly. Especially since his two old subordinates didn't come back either, it was even more clear that this guy
A few guys didn't return to the team on purpose.
"Commander, regarding the upcoming Jinzhou War, the staff team has a plan that is different from the previous arrangement. I hope the command headquarters and frontline generals will listen to it." Before everyone started a formal discussion, Yu Jian quickly spoke up and wanted to summarize the recent few days.
Another version of the combat plan discussed by the Tianjin Staff Committee was reported to the headquarters.
"Speak out your thoughts and we'll listen first."
"According to the information we got from a recent visit to local fishermen in Jinzhou, the waters of Jinzhou are generally frozen within a range of about ten to twenty miles. Beyond this range, the sea is covered with thin ice, making it difficult for people and horses to pass.
. Therefore, the opinion of the staff is that we can consider gathering the main force to defend the frozen sea area and directly prevent the pirates from crossing the Jinzhou rib defense line. In this way, Lushun can be used as a safe rear defense base for our army to rest and regroup.
supply."
After listening to Yu Jian's explanation, Ren Shuangyou had to pay attention. Indeed, if the staff group's ideas could be realized, the war would be much easier to fight. "The ice area of the sea on both sides of Jinzhou is nearly 40 miles, and there is no way to reach it on the ice.
Is it difficult to build fortifications and retain people for a long time?"
"Commander, Beiji and others believe that it is easier to build fortifications on the sea. The plan we came up with is to erect wooden piles on the sea on the east and west sides of Jinzhou to pull two barbed wire fences, and at the same time freeze several sea ships between the two barbed wires.
Ships go in, so the barbed wire fences are equivalent to trenches and communication trenches, and the sea-going ships are equivalent to military forts and forts."
Is there such an operation? Ren Shuangyou was astonished by the idea of the staff group! This method is excellent! According to this method to build a defense line, the time and cost are quite low, and the speed is very fast. The original unfavorable situation of the frozen sea surface,
On the contrary, because of this idea, it became an advantage.
"The advice of the staff group is very imaginative. If it can be realized, our army can indeed gather all the main forces on the Jinzhou defense line to block the Japanese invaders from attacking Lushun. Everyone, let's discuss the feasibility of this plan."
The generals participating in the meeting were all enlightened at this time, and they all made suggestions and suggestions around this plan. Everyone gathered firewood, and with the addition of other generals, the plan to establish a maritime defense line became more complete. Now that barbed wire can be pulled on the sea
, why not use sea ice to build a trench wall? Wouldn't it be safer to hide in the trench wall and shoot?
There should also be an ice wall around the ship to avoid being bombarded by the Qing army's heavy artillery and causing damage to the deck. Can some ice sleds be placed between the two barbed wires for rapid movement? It can not only transport troops and supplies, but also serve as a mobile fort.
.In short, there are quite a lot of things that can be done around the barbed wire defense line. With some snacks, it will even be more stable than the land defense line.
"Everyone, the command headquarters has decided to quickly adjust the battle plan. According to the recommendations of the staff group, this battle will focus on defending the Jinzhou defense line. In this battle, in addition to military arrangements, the most critical thing is logistics support. The logistics department must do a good job in the preparation of arms and supplies.
The planning must not lead to insufficient arms and supplies. If we succeed in the Battle of Jinzhou, the situation between the imperial court and the rebels will be completely reversed. The Ming Dynasty and Zhongxing will fight here. I hope you can use your strength to fight.
A contribution that shines through the annals of history.”
When a military meeting was held in Jinzhou to prepare for the upcoming war, Azig in Fuzhou was also holding a meeting.
"King Zhishun, are you sure that the sea will be able to pass troops and horses in ten days?" Azig summoned Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and other old Dongjiang people for final confirmation.
"Your Majesty, I have been staying in Lushun for several years. According to the weather conditions observed, within ten days the sea area will be covered with ten miles of thick ice, and the army will have no worries about passage." Shang Kexi is the last of the three kings.
A man who defected to the Qing Dynasty. Among the three miners in Liaodong, he was actually the most determined to resist the Qing Dynasty. However, the situation was so pressing that he eventually became a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Shang Ke was very pleased with the situation in Jinzhou and Lushun.
familiar.
"It's hard to imagine that the Ming thieves could build a line of defense on the flanks of Jinzhou in just half a year. Fortunately, destiny is mine. They can block me on land, and we can cross the sea to attack. If they have the ability, they can also attack at sea.
The trench wall came out? In this battle, King Gongshun and King Huaishun led their troops and horses to cooperate with other soldiers to attack on land in Jinzhou. King Zhishun led his troops and horses and I crossed over from the sea to Lushun. Jinzhou and Lushun were defeated.
First of all, everything is alive, and the Qing Dynasty has plenty of time to grind Mingguo to death." He has 100,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 60,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and more than 30,000 soldiers of King Sanshun. Of course Azig has the conditions.
Carry out two-front operations at the same time. The advantage of two-front operations is that it can create huge military pressure. The places controlled by the Ming army will be in flames of war. Without a safe resting place, flaws will inevitably be exposed over time, and fighters that are beneficial to the Qing army will appear.
