Zhou Yu decided to give the emperor some face and attack the main polar bear defense line ~ Irkutsk defense line a little earlier.
Since the Empire defeated the incoming polar bears in April 1898, since then, the Empire has advanced on the central defense line to a point 110 kilometers from the center of the Polar Bear Far East Defense Line to the Irkutsk Defense Line. Since then, although the two sides have occasionally collided Rubbed, but did not cause major conflicts.
The Empire's Northern Theater Command also moved from the eastern front to the northern suburbs of Ulaanbaatar on the central line.
The Shenlong took Zhou Yu to the empire's largest military airport base in Ulaanbaatar.
When Zhou Yu appeared at the Northern War Zone Headquarters, Liu Chengliang and others had been waiting for a long time. Liu Chengliang and others were very surprised that Zhou Yu had brought a "disheveled" uninvited guest. Only after Zhou Yu was released did they Suddenly he realized that this man was a former "martyr" rescued by the emperor.
Gao Cheng felt very nervous about the room full of imperial bosses, but Lu Ming's words relieved him.
Because Lu Ming saw that Gao Cheng was dressed in beggar clothes, which did not fit the atmosphere of the scene, so he ordered someone to get a lieutenant colonel's military uniform for Gao Cheng to put on. But Zhou Yu and the others did not wait for Gao Cheng, a little soldier, and instead Let’s move onto the topic of the day, the main attack plan on polar bears.
As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater Command, Lu Ming held a baton and explained the action plan of the Northern Theater Command to the bosses in front of the huge military situation map of the Northern Theater Command.
"Your Majesty! Commanders, let me introduce the tactical layout of our northern theater this time. In the past, at the suggestion of the Emperor, our country's battles against polar bears were all aimed at strategic compression and attracting the attention of polar bears. And This time, our goal has become to conquer the city."
"The emperor's intention is to scoop out the enemy's main defense line fortress group - Irkutsk. The Irkutsk fortress group is built in the city of Irkutsk, an important town on the Siberian Railway. It is located on the Central Siberian Plateau South, west of Lake Baikal, on the right bank of the confluence of the Irkut River and the Angara River.”
"The average monthly temperature here is around -29 degrees Celsius, which is a continental climate. The severe cold period is extremely long and the snow covers all year round, which brings great inconvenience to our army's operations."
"There are two major fortress groups closest to it in Siberia, one is the Novosibirsk Fortress Group, and the other is the Yakutsk Fortress Group. Both of them have more than 200,000 troops. But if you want to rely on the Trans-Siberian Railway, the movement It will take at least ten days to get to Irkutsk."
"Then, what we are about to face is only reinforcements from Bratsk in the northwest and Chita in the east. According to intelligence, the regular army and border defense generals on the three fronts of Irkutsk, Bratsk and Chita The total strength of the troops will not exceed 400,000, which is almost equal to our main force."
"Therefore, our plan is. For the army, the Northern Zhang San Group Army will be the main force to attack Irkutsk, and the Imperial Northern Locust Army will be supplemented by the First Army. For the air force, it will be composed of 200 D-type fighters and 300 Imperial Locusts form bomber columns to assist."
"But our tactical idea is to first dispatch the Imperial Northern Theater, the First and Second Fronts, and then the Imperial Northern Theater and the Second Locust Army to assist; in addition, we will also use a column of 500 bombers to assist and attack the enemy's Tacheng defense area first. .”
“The purpose of doing this is mainly based on two considerations. One is to draw out the enemies in the Irkutsk fortress group to reinforce Chita, so that our army can encircle the points and provide reinforcements, turning the offensive into a mobile war; the other is to draw the enemy out of Chita
The defense force is weak, so our army can use both virtual and actual strength to take down Chita together!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, Liu Chengliang couldn't help but frowned and asked: "What if the enemy from northwest Bratsk cannot hold out after reinforcements arrive at Irkutsk? You know, once the Chita battle begins, the enemy will
There will definitely be a reaction, especially from the enemy forces in Bratsk. Our army cannot stop the enemy’s reinforcements at all!”….
"We have also thought about the possibility you mentioned, Commander-in-Chief. Once the reinforcements from Bratsk arrive in Irkutsk and the two armies do not reinforce Chita, then we will turn the fiction into reality and scoop it up in one fell swoop.
Chita; in addition, Zhang San's Army, which was ambushing the enemy on the eastern front, changed from an ambush state to a stormy attack on Irkutsk."
"Our army can build a pontoon bridge from the upper reaches of the Angara River, swim across the river, and attack the enemy's weakest defense line on the east side. In addition, we can dispatch an elite force in advance to ambush on the left bank of Irkutsk city.
Prevent the enemy from blowing up the two wooden bridges connecting it to the city."
Zhang Long also said at this time:
"Just now, what Commander-in-Chief Cheng Liang proposed is the triangular defense area around Irkutsk; I still have some questions about the situation in Ishim, Omsk, Tomsk, Yakutsk, and even Tyumen where the enemy is deeper.
There are millions of enemy bear soldiers in this area, what if the enemy moves reinforcements?"
"Commander Zhang, we also have arrangements for the issue you are concerned about. In the Wallen Theater on the Empire's Northern Front, our army still has hundreds of thousands of troops, thus restraining the enemy's millions of troops from advancing even an inch; among these hundreds of thousands of troops
, and a powerful elite cavalry force of tens of thousands;"
"If the enemy's Yakutsk troops reinforce the Irkutsk defense area, our cavalry troops stationed in Ayan can dispatch 30,000 cavalry troops from the east side of the Transkhinggan Mountains, bypassing the Aldan River, and surprise Yakutsk, which has no troops.
gram."
"Once this plan is realized, the polar bear's eastward communication from Yakutsk will be completely cut off by our army." Lu Ming said, using the baton in his hand, with Yakutsk as the node, eastward to the Bering Strait.
made a big circle.
After Lu Ming walked back to his seat and sat down, Zhou Yu, who had been silent all the time, said: "All other plans can be implemented, but the plan of cavalry attacking Yakutsk from a thousand miles away is not feasible. The reason why I say this is based on
Two reasons;"
"First, cavalry raids are mostly carried out by light and fast horses, and heavy weapons cannot accompany them. As a result, if I go deep into the enemy's cavalry division, I will be easily ambushed by the enemy. Don't think that polar bears have no capable people, let alone powerful troops.
You know, the enemy's Cossack cavalry is still very strong;"
"Secondly, our country is still in a non-war state at this time, and the total strength of the northern theater is only a few million. If the front is too long, it will easily be diluted. As a result, our active offensive posture at this time
, will be ruined in the blink of an eye, and the active attack will be changed into a passive defense;”
"In addition, the Polar Bears have claimed a few months ago that they will send 3 million more troops to Siberia within the year, and we will be even more passive by then. Therefore, it is okay to implement it slowly, but jumping to attack will expose our own weaknesses, which is really not possible!" (To be completed!)
