Chapter 306
The battle continued, and casualties continued to increase. Obai felt that this was no longer the reason why he lured and surrounded the enemy and annihilated the enemy, but his bait was bitten by the fish, and it seemed that he had the intention of dragging the angler into the water.
When the weather was getting darker, Ye Bushang ran over to report to him that in three directions, there were enemies greater than three regiments coming to the battlefield. He had already formed a trend of encircling his team on three sides.
Oboi was really angry with the enemy's tactics. He was good at tempting himself to surround the enemy, but the trend turned out to be the opposite. He became tempted by the enemy.
He knew the sharpness of the enemy's firearms, and at the same time, the few soldiers brought out this time were not able to distribute soldiers to block the enemy.
He is worthy of being a battle-hardened Oboi. Faced with such a situation, he decisively ordered the withdrawal of the battle here.
He led a large group of troops to face one of the Xinming troops who came to rescue him.
During the march, he caught the opponent off guard and annihilated the 1,000 Xinming troops of one of the regiments.
However, the five thousand Tianyou Army were abandoned on the battlefield and eaten cleanly by the Xinming Army.
Under the 5:1 loss of war, Oboi finally bit the Ming army and fled the battlefield.
Such battles happen almost every day on the land of Anhui.
The role of militia is becoming more and more obvious. As long as there is an enemy situation, it will immediately shrink into a group and wait for rescue.
The rescue troops scattered around as grassroots military units immediately began to act.
Then the main force of the army, which was in brigade, began to join the battlefield.
So both sides used their own methods and the battle situation became a dangerous draw.
"It is not a solution to continue like this. An active war of liberation must not turn into a war of attrition or a tug-of-war. In principle, compared with the enemy, we cannot afford to consume it." Wang Xuejun knocked on the table and told his helplessness.
If he really fought with Manqin, in principle, Wang Xuejun could not be able to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
It is not because of equipment and financial resources, but in terms of number of people.
After all, the Qing Dynasty now occupies four-fifths of the country's territory. They have a huge population and a continuous stream of Mongolians are constantly being driven to the battlefield.
In addition to the military pay he had given, he also had casualties pensions. A soldier was finally calculated as 100 silver dollars. There was also the care of their family members.
And what if one of the enemies died? There is no pension, and there is no follow-up care for their families.
And those soldiers, one of them can catch 10, and they keep so much continuous and cost almost no money.
Faced with such embarrassment, Xu Jie stood up: "The prince is right. The situation of the war has changed, but it has become extremely unfavorable to us. We must reverse this situation and continue to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, rather than this kind of tug-of-war consumption. Therefore, the subordinates think that we will eat piece by piece."
Then walk to the huge map.
"We should now split the entire Anhui out of the enemy's camp, and then surround the enemy from all sides to attack, forcing the enemy to fight us. Then, in the repeated decisive battles, the enemy in Anhui will be completely annihilated on the spot. Then we will use the same method to split the enemy from Hunan out of the enemy's camp. Eat the enemy bite by bite."
Wang Xuejun knocked on the table: "This tactic is good, so we will implement this tactic of nailing and eating a piece of cake."
Encouraged Xu Jie expressed his plans.
"I took the Third Army and the Marines out of Nanjing to compete for the city of Anhui from the south, and squeezed Kong Youde and Oboi's troops into the center.
Prince, you will take the Second Army, the Fifth Army and the Artillery Army, from the east and north, and squeeze the enemy into the center.
He ordered Huang Guangjun in the Dabie Mountains to lead the volunteer team to squeeze the enemy into the center from the northwest direction.
He ordered Li Guo, the 2nd Army, to give up attacking Wuchang City, but to drive the enemy to the center from the west."
Then he violently hit the map Kong Youde's old nest Lujiang: "We squeezed them here, gathered and annihilated them."
All the generals in the headquarters applauded.
By implementing this plan, you will immediately turn this passive situation into an initiative.
No matter which army attacks, the enemy must use all their strength to block it. In this way, they will no longer have mobile troops and will surround the city in the countryside.
The initiative on the battlefield was transferred to Wang Xuejun again.
With such an adjustment, both in terms of military strength and weapons, the advantage lies in me.
With such adjustments, Sony Oboi and Kong Youde really felt the pressure again.
So he had to shrink his troops everywhere, give up his original tactic of attacking small groups of activities everywhere, and begin to defend important big cities.
This is also a helpless move.
Although they used the method of surrounding the city in the countryside, they forced Wang Xuejun to be at a loss and miss each other. They obtained a lot of supplies accordingly.
However, once all large and small cities are occupied by Wang Xuejun's army, the scattered teams in small cities and rural areas will be divided into various pieces, forming a pile of scattered sand. If you want to do something, it will be difficult.
The three people held an emergency military meeting to deal with the current situation.
"Our 100,000 Eight Banners Army of Manchu and Mongolia is only conducive to field battles but not to defend the city. If we are asked to guard various cities, it is to use our shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. Therefore, the task of guarding the city needs to be completed by the Tianyou Army. We are looking for fighter jets outside the city, and we are echoing each other inside and outside to defeat the enemy."
Sony's suggestion is clever.
As long as there is such a mobile army outside the city, even if the enemy attacks the city, they cannot do their best. This is the benefit of looking at each other from the beginning to the end.
So Sony and Oboi led their troops out of various cities and looked for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the wild.
The Tianyou Army guarded various cities, which turned into huge nail baits. The war returned to its origin, although it had changed slightly.
The first thing that started was Li Guo's team of the Second Army that he had always wanted to perform.
Left a division, staring at Shang Kexi in Wuchang City, and the other five divisions swept all the way with the momentum of Mount Tai, and advanced against Yu Minzhong's fleet, and directly rushed towards Anqing.
Anqing is an important town in Anhui. Not only is it an important source of food and salary for Kong Youde, it is also the key to threatening the downstream Nanjing and cannot be lost.
So, Kong Youde and Oboi's army immediately made the center of gravity difficult to move and prepared to defend Anqing to the death.
Looking at Kong Youde's deployment, Xu Jie smiled and said with a smug smile: "As long as you know that An Qing can't be lost, then you will be fooled by us. Let's warm up before the decisive battle first."
So, both sides set up a battlefield in Anqing.
