Commander Lu Chenyang stepped off the boat and was still on the soft beach, but he felt very at ease.
The First Army has also completed the landing, and the leapfrog tactics were a perfect success.
The European Allies set fire to the mountains, but that could not stop the Royal Army.
Commander Lu Chenyang ordered: "Send a report to the Second Army and the Seventh Army to inquire about their situation."
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei laughed and scolded: "Zhang Yunqing and Zhuang Renyi are like tigers that have just been released from the cage.
They stormed all the way and were not afraid that their supply lines would be cut off by the European Allied Forces."
Supervisor Liang Feng said with a smile: "This thing can't happen, the European Allied Forces are still climbing mountains and ravines in the Quling area.
The Royal Navy has completely controlled the Mediterranean, and even if the European Allies had previously planned to take the sea route, it would not work."
When Commander-in-Chief Lu Chenyang heard what Supervisor Liang Feng said, his eyes widened instantly and he shouted loudly: "Close the door and beat the dog. We can close the door and beat the dog."
During this period, the headquarters fully cooperated with the navy and implemented leapfrog tactics.
Lu Chenyang forgot for a moment that the main force of the European Allied Forces was still in the Balkans.
He only needed to send an army to block the return path of the European Allies from Austria.
This will create a situation of locking the door and beating the dog, and it will be difficult for the European Allied Forces to escape.
To the east of the European Allied Forces is the sea of fire that has not yet been extinguished, and to the east is the Mediterranean Sea controlled by the Royal Navy.
The remaining actionable directions are all filled with Royal Army troops.
The European Allied Forces have become the turtle in the urn.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei and Supervisor Liang Feng didn't quite understand what Commander Lu Chenyang blurted out.
They saw Commander Lu Chenyang extremely excited and kept gesticulating with his hands.
Lu Chenyang noticed the two people's doubts, and he briefly introduced the situation he thought to them.
The two of them understood the meaning of his words instantly.
Supervisor Liang Feng said excitedly: "Lao Lu, your plan is very feasible.
Not only did the enemy fail to anticipate that the seemingly huge European Allied Navy would soon be wiped out by the Royal Navy fleet.
The control of the Mediterranean Sea has fallen into our hands.
We control a huge coastline and can land anywhere at any time.
Only in this way can we adopt leapfrog tactics and land at any place at any time.
European countries can only run exhausted, and they are unable to stop our military's actions.
The European Allied Forces did not expect this situation to occur.
They are still happily setting fires, trying to block our army's movements, thinking that they can reach the rear safely.
This is also the time when they are most relaxed.”
Supervisor Liang Feng gave a thumbs up and praised this plan as a classic.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei immediately took out the map he carried with him.
He opened the map with both hands and mainly looked at the terrain of the Balkan Peninsula.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei's eyes lit up and he said: "According to the capabilities of the European Allied Forces, they have just arrived in the Quling area, and there are many shrubs in this area.
According to the normal practice of the European Allied Forces, they will definitely set the forest on fire in the rear and use forest fires to hinder our army's actions.
We only need to send an elite force into the Quling area and build fortifications in this hilly area in advance.
Even if the European Allied Forces have millions of people, we still have the strength to annihilate the European Allied Forces.
However, due to the shortage of food, grass and other supplies, the European Allied Forces could not hold on.
An army of one million cannot be sustained in hilly areas. As long as we delay, the European Allied Forces will collapse in a few days."
The communications officer came over with a telegram.
He reported: "The Second Army and the Seventh Army are progressing very smoothly, but they are worried that their logistics supply lines will be cut off, so they have been advancing slowly.
It has now advanced to an area one hundred kilometers away from the shore."
"It's better to be cautious." Commander Lu Chenyang praised.
He marked the locations of the Second and Seventh Army on the map.
After reading this, Chief of Staff Zhang Lei said in surprise: "Zhang Yunqing and Zhuang Renyi act relatively steadily.
It would be better to let the Second Army and the Seventh Army block the European Allies.
After all, the First Army is a mechanized army and is not suitable for fighting in hilly areas."
Commander Lu Chenyang agreed with the chief of staff's suggestion and sent the Second Army and the Seventh Army to the Quling area to block the European Allied Forces. This was indeed a better way.
Chen Zhongwen, commander of the First Army, was watching. He thought that the First Army would get this golden opportunity.
Now according to the thoughts of Commander Lu and Chief of Staff Zhang, their First Army cannot participate in this mission of great merit.
Chen Zhongwen immediately couldn't help recommending himself: "Sir, I think the First Army is qualified for this task."
Commander Lu Chenyang saw Chen Zhongwen beginning to fight for opportunities for his troops.
He also did this kind of thing when he was the commander of an army.
A commander who cannot win opportunities for the army will definitely be looked down upon by the entire army, and the orders he issues will inevitably be executed with some discount.
Commander Lu Chenyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, your First Army has a heavier task and can better utilize the strengths of the First Army."
Commander Chen Zhongwen asked in surprise: "Is it true?"
"Zhongwen, there is no need for me to lie to you about this matter.
The first military mechanized army is more suitable for long-distance attacks.
European countries found the European Allies besieged in the Balkans.
They cannot ignore things and will definitely send strong troops to rescue them.
How many armies are there in Europe? Once all the more than one million European Allied Forces are lost.
That would be equivalent to breaking the backbone of European countries.
They will never allow this to happen.
The enemy forces are responsible for blocking reinforcements from European countries in the Austrian area.
Only the First Army that has completed its mechanized transformation can cross the vast Austrian Plain and go to various places to block the armies of European countries that want to support it."
When Chen Zhongwen heard that their First Army had this mission, he immediately smiled and ensured that the First Army would do its best to carry out this mission.
…………………………
Zhuang Renyi was leading the Seventh Army, preparing to attack the interior areas of the Holy Roman Empire.
The army has made preparations for the expedition and is just waiting for him to issue military orders.
After Zhuang Renyi received the telegram, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chief of Staff Lu Yan and said in surprise:
"Chief of Staff Lu's suggestion was very accurate, and Commander Lu Chenyang actually changed the order.
Let us cooperate with the Second Army and go to the Quling area to besiege the European Allied Forces."
When Chief of Staff Lu Yan heard this order, he said with surprise: "This is really great. This is an opportunity to earn a lot of merit without much effort.
After the battle between the European Allied Forces and the First Army, they had become frightened.
They went through the experience of fleeing to the Bar Peninsula again, and their morale was extremely low.
I thought I could escape, but my way was blocked by our army.
In times of despair, the European Allied Forces will inevitably explode.
After they broke out, they still could not break out of our army's defense line.
The European Allied Forces will give up on themselves, lose all morale, and even kill each other.
We are likely to reap the benefits and easily defeat the European Allies."
Commander Zhuang Renyi agreed with Chief of Staff Lu Yan’s analysis.
He can give in to anything, except military merit.
Immediately organize the Seventh Army to change its march from north to east.
…………………………
The headquarters of the Royal Army is in an unknown small village in Austria.
Commander Lu Chenyang saw the telegrams sent by the Second Army and the Seventh Army. They had marched eastward in accordance with the order.
In order to meet the requirements for transporting materials in hilly areas, the Logistics Department has a group of modified tricycles responsible for transporting materials.
The Royal Army High Command has made contact with the Imperial intelligence network in the Holy Roman Empire.
The Royal Army Command also has channels to understand the trends of European countries.
Commander Lu Chenyang looked at a new telegram.
This is a telegram sent from Vienna. This telegram uses the special telegram encryption method of the intelligence department, and its authenticity is trustworthy.
European countries have learned from various channels that the European Allied Forces were surrounded by the Royal Army in the Quling area.
After news of this situation spread, many European countries panicked.
Many European countries have sent troops to form the European Allied Forces, which is already the largest number of people in this country after the country's maximum conscription.
Once the European Allied Forces were defeated, it would mean that they had failed and had no ability to recruit more troops.
For powerful countries like the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops would cause them pain for a long time.
Especially the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been baptized by war, their value is by no means comparable to the same number of recruits.
Any European country will experience greater or lesser turmoil after losing the European Allied Forces.
When this happens, Europeans can no longer sit still.
The Holy Roman Empire, which is closest to the Quling area, sent five thousand elite cavalry to prepare to open the gap and welcome the return of the European Allied Forces.
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan said with a smile: "The First Army is waiting very anxiously, and Chen Zhongwen sends reports and inquiries every day.
The First Army can now show off.
We also want to see the power of the chariot in the Great Plains."
Commander Lu Chenyang nodded and said: "Send the relevant information to the First Army. I believe Chen Zhongwen will make relevant arrangements."
…………………………
After receiving the telegram, Chen Zhongwen, commander of the First Army, shouted happily: "Call Wei Xiaoyong over here."
Wei Xiaoyong, the leader of the chariot regiment, stopped outside the camp with some anxiety.
The military commander has been in a bad mood these days, and his subordinates will be punished.
Wei Xiaoyong bravely walked into the camp, lowered his head and waited for the training.
But he heard Army Commander Chen Zhongyi ask kindly: "How is the preparation of the chariot regiment? Can it go into battle?"
Wei Xiaoyong immediately straightened his body and replied respectfully: "Sir, the morale of the chariot regiment is excellent. The chariots are in good condition and have sufficient fuel. They are ready to go into battle at any time."
Commander Chen Zhongwen nodded and said with satisfaction: "Your tank regiment performed very well and deserves praise.
Now there is a difficult task for you tank regiment.
Vienna dispatched five thousand cavalry, mainly light cavalry.
Muskets can break the armor of heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry, an ancient arm, has died out both around the empire and here in Europe."
When Wei Xiaoyong heard that it was this mission, he puffed up his chest and said confidently: "Sir, the chariot is derived from the heavy cavalry.
Chariots have the advantages of heavy cavalry but none of their disadvantages.
Light cavalry can't run as fast as chariots, and bows and muskets don't have as far a range as chariots' cannons.
When a chariot encounters a cavalry, there is only one situation that will lead to a crushing victory.
There is no need to worry, sir, you just need to wait for news of victory."
After listening to this, Commander Chen Zhongwen laughed and said: "It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk.
This is the opportunity for the Soldier Chariot Regiment to prove itself.
I'm not worried about whether the chariot regiment can defeat the cavalry.
I'm worried that the tank regiment will break down halfway and the tank will be damaged before it reaches the battlefield."
Wei Xiaoyong immediately assured: "Sir, please rest assured that we are maintaining the chariot every day.
The soldiers would rather not eat, but they also had to maintain their chariots well.
The chariot regiment will definitely defeat the cavalry, and our goal is to completely wipe out the cavalry and prevent them from escaping the battlefield."
Chen Zhongwen saw that Wei Xiaoyong was confident, so he handed over the relevant combat plan to Wei Xiaoyong and asked him to lead the tank regiment to execute it.
The tank regiments only have to do their part.
The coordination of various military services and the transportation of logistics materials require Chen Zhongwen to mediate in order to integrate the resources of the entire army.
…………………………
Wei Xiaoyong returned to the tank regiment with the order.
After he arrived at the chariot regiment, he said excitedly: "Brothers, the commander has issued an order, and our chariot regiment can be dispatched."
As soon as he said these words, cheers came from around him.
"Finally no need to stay in the camp."
"It's great to be able to make a contribution."
The Chariot Regiment is one of the troops in the First Army that most wants to go out to fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mainly because the environment is not very good when sitting in the chariot, and it is relatively stuffy inside.
However, the protective performance of the tank is so strong that it is difficult for bullets and artillery shells to penetrate it.
Their safety in the chariot is fully guaranteed.
Chariot soldiers are also the category with the fewest casualties among all major military services.
Captain Wei Xiaoyong gave the order and the chariot regiment set off.
This time it was impossible to use a truck to pull it, and I didn't know when I would encounter the enemy on the battlefield.
The tracks of the chariot crushed the ground, raising clouds of smoke and dust.
In front of the chariot regiment, there were also armed vehicles that were faster than the chariots. They were galloping on the Austrian plains, searching for traces of the cavalry.
They only know the general marching route of the cavalry, and they need to find the real location of the cavalry in order to better eliminate the enemy.
Wei Xiaoyong was sitting in the chariot. From time to time, he heard reports that some chariots had mechanical problems and were unable to move forward.
The tank regiment could only abandon this tank first, and the soldiers inside were transferred to the convoy transporting ammunition and oil.
The tank will also have a special trailer to be towed back to the camp for repairs.
Wei Xiaoyong heard the exclamations outside and the rumble of the tank engine, but he couldn't resist the excitement.
"The European cavalry has been found."
Wei Xiaoyong was very excited. The chariot regiment was finally able to engage in a decisive battle with the cavalry. Stepping on the cavalry's corpse proved that the role of the cavalry had been completely replaced by chariots.
The scout in the armed car, after reporting the details.
Wei Xiaoyong understood the approximate combat effectiveness of the cavalry and believed that the chariot regiment could easily handle it.
He immediately accelerated the chariot he was riding in and rushed straight to the location of the cavalry.
His chariot is a command vehicle, and through sounds and movements, it reminds other chariots to follow immediately.
