In Yuqiao Town, Liu Yuanbin was discussing with several of his regimental commanders where to find fighter planes. A sentry suddenly ran in and said that Cao Ruohai, the commander of the second brigade, had come with his main generals to discuss important military matters!
What important matter did Cao Ruohai come to discuss? Could it be that he discovered some kind of war opportunity? With this eagerness, Liu Yuanbin asked his men to quickly let Cao Ruohai and others in.
"General, what a war machine! We can't miss it this time!" This time he came to deceive people, so Cao Ruohai started to create an atmosphere as soon as he walked in.
"Ruo Hai, where did you discover the enemy situation? Tell me quickly!" As expected, Liu Yuanbin quickly asked Cao Ruohai to tell him what he discovered.
"Most of the captive troops are in Shandong. Where can I find information about the enemy? However, then I thought about it, why do we have to find the Qing troops on the move? Don't there happen to be Qing troops in Hejian Prefecture? Let's go
Attacking Hejian Prefecture, being able to annihilate the soldiers and recover the city at the same time, isn't this a greater military achievement?"
"Recover Hejian?" Liu Yuanbin was unable to catch his breath due to Cao Ruohai's heavy breathing. He thought this guy had found some good opportunity, but it turned out that he came here to fool people.
"Exactly! To regain Hejian, this is a rare opportunity that we cannot miss."
"Ruohai! Don't come over here to distract us! Hejian Prefecture is heavily guarded by soldiers. Before we left, the Holy Father specifically told us not to fight hard and hard! Do you think we won't take advantage of these two things in Hejian Prefecture?"
"As long as it is done properly, neither of these can be taken advantage of. The Hejian Prefecture's captive army is said to be heavy, but in fact it is not necessarily true! There are at most a thousand real captives, and the others are all northern captives and two Tatars. We have fought against the real captives head-on.
, can they take advantage of us? In other words, although it is 6,000 versus 6,000, we have an advantage over them! Also, Hejian is too far away from the camp of the soldiers, so no matter how fast the soldiers react, it will be too late.
Rescue, the Hejian Mansion soldiers we fought were an isolated brigade! Commander, is this still a tough battle?"
Why did Cao Ruohai's situation become so big after he became the brigade commander? What he said seems to be quite reasonable.
"Ruo Hai, what you said makes sense, but I cannot agree to this strategy. The New Army is your Majesty's hard work, and I cannot let it be put in danger. If something happens to the New Army, we will be the sinners of the Ming Dynasty."
"General, your Majesty said in the last post-war summary that we generals who took the lead in commanding the troops were too obsessed with the old army thinking and were seriously behind in judging fighters. Why do you still make such mistakes in the old army line after such a good opportunity arises?
?”
Did I make a mistake along the old army line? After hearing Cao Ruohai's accusation, Liu Yuanbin was so angry that he wanted to curse on the spot. Did you just use what the Holy One said to make things difficult for you?
"Brigadier Cao, you said that I made the mistake of the old army's line! But I want to ask you, based on your new army's thinking, what are the advantages of our army in this battle? When talking about specific tactics, don't generalize them.
If you talk empty talk, just follow the military principles taught by the Holy Spirit."
"General Commander Rong Zhen, in this battle the Qing army is in the city, and our army is in the field. The Qing army is in the light, and our army is in the dark. As long as we operate carefully, there is a possibility of a sneak attack. This is the so-called strategic initiative. In this battle, the enemy is in the city.
, on the contrary, they have lost their characteristics of high mobility and flexible organization, and cannot exert their full combat power. That is to say, the terrain is conducive to restraining the enemy and bringing out the strengths of our army. As long as our army enters the city, with grenades and new weapons
The power of the blunderbuss can completely push the captured soldiers along the main streets. No matter how brave they fight and no matter how unafraid of death, it will be difficult for them to be effective in the narrow streets. The main force of the Qing army is at least four days away from Hejian Mansion.
Time, even if we fail to attack the city in these four days, we still have time to retreat to a safe area calmly. This is my time! Commander, do you think the analysis of your subordinates is correct? "
Hearing Cao Ruohai clearly explain the advantages of attacking Hejian Mansion, Liu Yuanbin fell into silence for a long time. Both Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai spoke with anger at this time, so the scene was quite heated, and everyone was present
Everyone was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to speak.
After a long while, Liu Yuanbin finally spoke, breaking the unbearable atmosphere: "Ruohai, you are indeed a great talent! After your analysis, I realized that I am not the enemy in this battle. Since
In this way, the general decided that our two brigades would join forces and make every effort to recover Hejian Mansion. The key to this battle is how to sneak into the city. As long as they enter the city, the Qing army will be a turtle in the urn. Inform the two brigades and above generals to gather at the bridge.
We have to carefully discuss a way to get into the city."
Brigadier Liu Da is not a bully, and Cao Ruohai has explained all the gains and losses so clearly. If he continues to insist on his own way, he will not distinguish right from wrong.
Seeing that Liu Yuanbin was finally persuaded to change his mind, Cao Ruohai hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Entering the city is the key, but there is also another key point, which is how to block most of the prisoners in the city."
"Stuck in the city? Ruohai, what you have in mind is not small!"
"The Holy One said that we should attack the enemy's strength as much as possible. Since we have such a good opportunity, why should we let it go?"
Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai, who had unified their thoughts, started a heated discussion on this topic. The more they discussed, the more excited they became. They felt more and more that the Qing soldiers who fought against Hejian Prefecture were a good one.
As long as this battle is won, the new army of the Yongwei Camp will truly become the world's attention.
Thinking about recovering the city and annihilating the Qing army, it was not just the two generals Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai who were excited. The eyes of other generals were also shining. They seemed to see a bright future waving to them.
.
One day later, Cao Ruohai led all the brigade officers and soldiers to Wuqiao. The generals of the two armies gathered together to formally discuss the specific tactical arrangements for the Battle of Liberation Hejian.
"The Holy One asked us to bring out some soldiers' flags and armors, which can be used this time. I suggest that we choose more than a hundred Qing soldiers to dress up as Qing soldiers and send food and harvest to Hejian City, and then wear two more
Three hundred people dressed up as farmers hauling grain and arrived at the Hejian City. As soon as they reached the city, they tried their best to open the gap with grenades and muskets. The army hiding behind them ran into the city with all their strength. As long as we entered the city smoothly.
City, the rest of the war will depend on whether I am the enemy or not." Mayou Liang expressed his tactical ideas at the military meeting.
The key point of this battle is to quietly approach Hejian City. Although the Qing army neglected to defend, Hejian City was not easy to approach. Because the only people going to Hejian City at this time were the Qing army and their vassal soldiers and horses.
Except for the captured transport civilians, no one would take the initiative to go to Hejian City. The people of the Ming Dynasty were not mentally ill. They knew that the Qing army was in the city, so they had to run into the city to deliver food! This situation created a natural tendency for the Qing army to defend the city.
The advantage is that they don't need to deliberately set up defenses, but they can also know whether the Ming army is coming to attack the city. Once they see the Ming army coming to attack the city, they can set up defenses in time.
