After hearing what Joseph said, Alexei seemed to have found some shining point. If all second-line troops were used, our army would not have no chance of victory. The second-line troops of the Suppression Army were more powerful than the first-line troops of other countries.
, this is something he has heard about a long time ago, but he does not believe that he can win here in the northwest. After all, the natural environment here is very harsh. Without the support of the local people, it is very likely that these people will not be able to win.
As for the support of the local people he mentioned, it was the support of Jamur Khan.
In this guy's view, Jamur Khan is the leader of the northwest region, and the local ethnic group is the ethnic group of the Western Regions. There may be great resistance to the original army. If this is the case, then we can put this kind of
The war evolved into a war of resistance, so we helped Jamur Khan in the past, which was considered a just war.
If someone from the Suppression Army is here, you have to take his head open immediately and see how long your brain is? You can think of so many things. If it is what you think, then you
Does what he does locally make him a good person?
According to incomplete statistics, the Rakshasa Empire has more than 20,000 troops stationed in the northwest region. These 20,000 people are free to make trouble every day. During the decades they have been stationed, there have been at least ten times more troops.
Local people were killed, and as for the women who were raped, they were countless, and a lot of money was robbed by them. This was a common occurrence in the area.
So if Alexei wants them to have the support of the locals, it is simply the biggest joke in the world. The locals want to drink your blood, how can they support you? Although they also have conflicts with the Daqian Dynasty,
But compared to the conflict with the Rakshasa Empire, the conflict with the Daqian Dynasty seems not to be a conflict.
"Order the First Army and the Second Army to station in the border area and support Middendorf at any time."
After much hesitation, Alexey issued this order. If there was no action now, it might be too late for them to take action by the time the Suppression Army came in. The Suppression Army was moving very fast.
They have known about it for a long time and have suffered losses, so they take action earlier to avoid regret later.
The two armies have a total of 70,000 people. Including Middendorf's army, the total number is nearly 100,000. Jamur Khan also has some troops in recent years. They are familiar with the terrain of the northwest. If they can fight
If it is good, it will be no problem if you persist for half a year to a year.
Of course, this is Alexei's idea. If it is a conventional way of fighting, there is no problem with his idea at all, and it can even persist for more than a year. But the question is, is the Suppression Army an ordinary army? Theirs
Is the fighting method an ordinary fighting method? From the founding of the army to the present, they have always used the method of blitz warfare, which is to put all their strength at the beginning, defeat their enemies in one fell swoop, and then slowly penetrate inward.
So if you want to delay it for half a year to a year, this is simply not feasible.
"Your Highness, the northwest region is vast. I think we should send a cavalry there. If they are all infantry, it will not be of great help to the battlefield. I hope your Highness can consider it carefully."
Joseph is very knowledgeable about military matters. Most of the northwest region is desert. If there are only infantry, not only will the deployment be too slow, but the combat effectiveness is not strong. The cavalry is the king of this land.
"Then send the First Cavalry Division over. They are the ace in my hand. If you can't defend the northwest, cut off Middendorf's head. Isn't he a famous general? And he's the whole
The best young general in the empire, I will give him a chance this time. If he can keep the northwest region, I will give him the rank of general."
In addition to mobilizing the army, you must also provide benefits to the frontline personnel. If you don't give benefits, why should they fight for you? If you keep the territory, it belongs to your empire. If you fail to keep the territory, it also belongs to your empire. But now there is a superior
Middendorf will definitely work hard to support Middendorf here, and it is rare in history for him to be directly promoted from major general to general.
At this moment, Middendorf has not received the telegram. He and Zamul Khan are rushing to Loujin City with their troops. Along the way, their armies stretch for dozens of miles. They look huge, but Middendorf
Dov knew very well that the queue was so long because they lacked transportation.
Jamur Khan has been trying his best to search for war horses, but it is not easy to find so many war horses at once. There are many war horses in the northwest region, but most of them have been transported back to the country by the people of the Rakshasa Empire.
, except for those raised by Zamul Khan's soldiers, there are not many war horses in the entire northwest region.
Middendorf originally searched hard for war horses and then transported the horses back to the country. This was also a shining point of his achievements. He was often praised by the Rakshasa Empire. But now he regrets it. Why didn't he think about it before?
How about staying a little longer? The average number of soldiers under his command is less than three people and one horse. Although they made a lot of carriages in time, half of them still need to move forward on foot. This is a 700-mile journey. Walk here.
Until when?
If in normal times, time is not so urgent, we can just walk forward slowly, but now the war is imminent, and Boss Xue has urged him several times. If there are no reinforcements yet, this guy dares to give up Lou Jincheng directly.
Then he took his people and wandered in the wilderness.
The most important thing is that the march has taken a long time, and the will of many soldiers has been worn away. How can you encourage them? We haven't seen the enemy yet, and the soldiers have already stopped. When we
When we see the enemy, do we still have the strength to fight with them? Our combat effectiveness is not as good as others. If we no longer have morale, then we have already lost the war. What are we going to do after walking 700 miles? Give others
Giving away heads?
"A telegram reporting to the General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After discussing for several days, are you finally willing to write a reply to yourself? Middendorf was overjoyed. He had already sent a telegram to Alexey, but there was no reply from the other side. Regarding the prince's complaint, he
But I am very disgusted. The battlefield is changing rapidly. How many opportunities are you going to waste... This chapter has been completed!
