Zhou Zhipeng and Zhao Wencheng discussed the affairs of Dongdi Kingdom for a while, and then returned their main attention to the northeastern region. Now they have occupied two provinces and will soon continue to advance northward. They already have three infantry divisions and ten infantry divisions.
Ninety thousand people, plus the miscellaneous local troops, the total number exceeds 260,000.
In addition, there is a security group of nearly 170,000 people, which can be said to be strong. However, the local economic situation is not enough to support such a large army, but when encountering so many good people, they want to become soldiers. Zhou Zhipeng
and Zhao Wencheng couldn't push it to the street, so they reported to Gao Shaoyi, and finally Gao Shaoyi allowed them to expand their army.
Of course, Gao Shaoyi also made adjustments to this area. Part of the 12th Division went to Dongdi Kingdom, and the other part took the train south to station in Nandong Province.
The 13th Division continued to advance towards Beiliao Province.
"Commander Zhou, the Thirteenth Division has been established for less than three months, and they have not yet fought a large-scale war. If we follow the wishes of the Duke and let them advance to Beiliao Province, wouldn't it be a bit awkward?
Is it too difficult for them?"
Zhao Wencheng has now been adjusted to the chief of staff of the First Army, and Zhou Zhipeng is the commander of the First Army. As for other armies across the country, the second large-scale reorganization has not yet begun. The largest unit is still the original infantry division.
The main reason is also because the jurisdiction of other armies is relatively small and they do not occupy much land. Only the northern part of Daliao Province has a large land area and there are relatively large numbers of armies in this area. Therefore, Gao Shaoyi specially reorganized them first.
Otherwise, the number of the First Army would not reach their heads.
"The Duke of Guo should be fully prepared for doing this. We have almost wiped out the Rakshasa Empire's troops that entered our country. Even though Beiliao Province is still in their hands, according to the intelligence we have detected,
The number of the army is less than 20,000, and the remaining 30,000 or so are all Japanese soldiers, so we can train with them."
Zhou Zhipeng has also heard of the story of Tian Ji's horse racing. There is only such a bunch of rabble left. If we use our most elite army to kill them, it would be a bit wasteful. It is better to be prepared now and wait for the above.
further orders.
"Do you think the Duke will order us to kill across the border?"
Zhao Wencheng's eyes saw the northern border line. Now they are still about 850 kilometers away from the border line. Mainly if they occupy the entire Bei Liao Province, they will see the land of the Rakshasa Empire. Thinking of this
, Zhao Wencheng felt that his blood was getting warm.
"That's what I meant by leaving the most elite infantry behind. We currently have three infantry divisions in our hands. One of them is going to occupy Bei Liao Province, and the other one is dispersed by the Duke of Guo. Our original fourth division is
We have the most powerful combatants. When we reach the border, I estimate that the Duke will give us an order. At that time, the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Division will fully cross the border and penetrate directly into the eastern province of the Rakshasa Empire.
."
Zhou Zhipeng is considered a strategic master, and he is very clear about Gao Shaoyi's idea. During the Huns war, the eastern province of the Rakshasa Empire had already deployed most of its troops, and the rest were some
The second-line army is of little use. We can just occupy this place after we pass there. At the same time, we can also go west from here and join the army on the Xiongnu grassland to attack the elites led by their crown prince.
When Zhou Zhipeng made an encircling gesture on the map, Zhao Wencheng next to him was also shocked. He really didn't expect that our Duke was making such a big move...
Everyone's eyes are focused on Nandong Province, and they all feel that the battle with the navy is a relatively big battle. In fact, the most important place is still here. As long as we advance steadily, even if our navy is defeated, Then the Rakshasa Empire will also lose a lot of land in the east.
When the time comes, the fleet of the Luosha Empire will not be able to attack the coastal cities of the Daqian Empire. They will try every means to go north and cooperate with the local army to defend the coastal cities of the eastern province. Then this navy will be considered useless, except You cannot go anywhere except to defend the city.
To put it bluntly, Gao Shaoyi ordered people like Zhou Zhipeng to go north and set up troops on the border in order to buy himself insurance.
The coastal areas of the Daqian Empire cannot be attacked by the Luosha Empire fleet, but if our fleet is defeated, then the usefulness of Zhou Zhipeng and his group will immediately become apparent. When their soldiers and horses surround Luosha, Is it possible for the fleet to attack the coastal cities of the Daqian Empire when it comes to the cities in the eastern provinces of the empire? Since our own territory cannot be saved, it is natural to go north at full speed.
At that time, the suppressing army will be able to gain some breathing space, and Gao Shaoyi can piece together the remaining navy and form a new fleet to fight them in the eastern waters of the Rakshasa Empire. Of course, this is a preliminary plan. Gao Shaoyi does not hope that such a plan will appear. After all, once this plan appears, it will mean that our fleet has been defeated.
Gao Shaoyi did this to make complete preparations. Our fleet has no experience in large-scale battles at sea, so it is right to be more prepared. If it fails, we will not be at a loss.
"Then I immediately ordered my troops to set out in two groups. Unfortunately, the railway to the south has not been built yet. We have to wait two months before we can use the railway."
Zhao Wencheng thought of the railway being built and had the engineering department work overtime. However, the climate here was so cold that hundreds of people working on the railway froze to death every day.
"Then continue to send telegrams to the people on the Xiongnu grassland and ask them to transport more prisoners of war from the Rakshasa Empire."
Zhou Zhipeng has now become very iron-blooded. Even if the weather is dozens of degrees below zero, he will never stop the railway. Building the railway one day earlier means that we have a stable supply line.
As for the life and death of the prisoners of war in the Rakshasa Empire, we can't control that much now. We can only ensure the condition of our soldiers first. If our soldiers have no food or water, they may freeze to death in such weather. So even if you die hundreds of people every day, work here will never stop.
If you are to blame, it's your defeat. Don't be reborn in the Rakshasa Empire in your next life. Find an opportunity to be reborn in the Suppression Army. Maybe you can enjoy the blessings with us.
