Next, Lin Fu planned to let Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out along the Wishui River and the Baihe River to maintain contact with the Luqi. Instead, he temporarily hid the most powerful Denghai Zhenshi in Jinhai and held his troops stationary——
Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng were naturally happy with this tactical arrangement, but Chen Zhi was extremely unhappy. 4∴8065
Lin Fu asked the military department to draw up a more detailed battle plan, so Chen Zhi rushed directly to the camp to ask for a fight.
Chen Zhi was in the west fortress of Duojin Sea. His left arm was injured by a small half of the flying city wall bricks. He was bandaged and rushed to the camp to see him.
Lin Fu had not had a good rest for several days. He took a nap during lunch time and had nothing important to do. Zhou Bin, the supervisor of the Imperial Guard, stopped Chen Zhi from entering, so Chen Zhi waited outside the yard angrily.
Lin Fu woke up from a nap and ignored Chen Zhi. At dusk, he wanted to see whether Gao Zongting and the others had drawn up a battle plan. When he saw Chen Zhi still standing outside the courtyard gate, he couldn't help but raise his foot to kick him. "
You idiot, if you don't go to the military headquarters to participate in formulating the battle plan and go to the military medical bureau to see the wounded soldiers during this time, is there any point in blocking my door?"
"The last general is also wounded. Are you here to ask your lord to take a look?" Chen Zhi was thick-skinned. Lin Fu scolded him but he just raised his injured arm to show Lin Fu his face.
Song Jia followed behind and smiled. There were several generals in the Huaidong Army, but there was nothing they could do if they called Lin Fu. Lin Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry - he could only let Chen Zhi follow him to the meeting hall.
Gao Zongting, Wu Qi, Yang Yihang and others led the staff generals of the headquarters have been busy for most of the day. Ge Cunxin, Yue Zhi and others were also busy handling various military affairs.
Zhang Gou had also just arranged for his troops to be stationed on the south bank of the Wishui River. When he came to the headquarters, he saw Chen Zhi coming in behind Lin Fu in a carefree manner, and said jokingly, "My lord, have you granted your wish to go to war?"
We can’t just ask Denghai Zhenshi to get all the good things we gain from the record, but we must also let our brother troops get a share of the pie!”
"Bullshit, Denghai Town Division has 200 men of artillery. We should not use it as the main force. We send you weaklings to attack Wangdentai Mountain. If you make a mistake, won't it ruin the big thing?" Chen Zhi said unforgivingly to Zhang Gou.
.
"If you have the energy to argue, why don't you come over and tell us how you are going to lead the First Division to fight on the south bank of the Wishui River?" Lin Fu took out a chair and sat down in front of the hall, interrupting the bickering between Zhang Gou and Chen Zhi, and pushed them away.
Call them up and ask them what they think.
"We have cleared the waterway from the mouth of the Wishui River. There is no big problem for the frigate to enter the north of Wangdengtai Mountain. Ye Jiduo Dy should not give us a chance to fight near Wangdengtai Mountain," Zhang Gou said, "Our unit
You can go west along the Wushui River, but as you go west, the river becomes narrower, and the artillery support provided by the frigates that actually enter the Wushui River will become more and more limited. The cavalry may be on the edge of the artillery range.
, To spy on our troops during the counterattack, the general thought that since the artillery could not concentrate its power, its use should be restricted, and as long as the infantry brigade can suppress the position and attack slowly westward, it is not afraid of the attack of the captives and cavalry..."
"Zhang Gou is not at peace with the military," Gao Zongting came over and smiled, pointed at Chen Zhi and scolded, "You are a fool, I haven't found you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to block the lord."
The lord of the courtyard mé3∴35686688 now hides the Denghai army in Jinhai. He plans to use Denghai to attack the army next. Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng are separated from the two wings. In fact, they also want to protect Yan from attacking directly from Jinhai in the future.
The flanks of Beijing’s main force—so you’re relaxed?”
"Let me play on the flank now. If necessary in the future, you can move me to the center. There will be no problem at all." Chen Zhi never wanted to lose in a battle.
"Stop being so messy," Lin Fu interrupted Chen Zhi and asked Gao Zongting, "Has the plan been completed?"
Wu Qi brought over the next step of using troops. Lin Fu took it and looked through it while talking to Chen Zhi and others.
"The technology of artillery is far from reaching a mature stage. An important reason why it has caused such great damage to the captive soldiers is that the new artillery that appears on the battlefield is far different from the traditional war equipment.
, there was absolutely no chance and time to adapt, and they were thrown into confusion and were caught off guard as soon as they came up. The soldiers did not understand the characteristics of the artillery, so they naturally would not have corresponding tactics. Even if there is the so-called "take a gap, gain a long way"
"Izhi" also requires a process. One of our current important ideas is not to give them the opportunity to adapt and learn lessons. Therefore, artillery is either not used, or it is concentrated and used in one attack to kill a large number of enemy soldiers.
On the battlefield..."
Lin Fu pointed at Chen Zhi and asked him, "Tell me what you need to do to kill a large number of enemy soldiers at once..."
"If you want to kill a large number of enemy soldiers at once, it is best to attract the enemy soldiers to the frontal battlefield between the Woshui River and the Chaobai River..." Chen Zhi replied.
"You're not stupid," Lin Fu said angrily and amusedly, slapping the battle plan that Gao Zongting and the others had spent most of the day drafting on the table, "This plan will attract the enemy soldiers to the Wishui River and the Chao River.
When the frontal battlefield between the Baihe River comes up, you don't come here to make suggestions, but instead run to the entrance of my courtyard to block the door, you are really worthless!"
Chen Zhi was forced by Lin Fu, but he was able to read the whole word, picked up the battle plan, and excused himself with saliva, "I just thought that the high command might be worried that Hu Gouzi would abandon the capital and escape from Yanjing, named Zhang Gou."
, Chu Zheng quickly outflanked both wings..."
"Where will Hu Gouzi abandon the city? Are you worried about them fleeing to Datong?" Lin Fu asked, "That's just right. We can save one fight. What else do you have to worry about?"
If Yan Hu wants to abandon the capital at this time and flee to Liaodong, he must go to western Liaoning. The long and narrow Liaoxi Corridor is close to Boshang. Even though it is thirty or forty miles deep, the Huaidong Army can take the sea route to flank at any time - Yan Hu went
Liaodong was no longer possible and the only option was to escape towards Datong or Taiyuan.
Fleeing to Datong, although the Huaidong Army has no chance of intercepting them, Yanhu's troops and horses will be completely torn apart. Even if the Huaidong Army gives up fleeing the Datong soldiers westward, it will have a better chance to capture the troops of Shandong and Henan.
A complete encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese troops will also achieve the strategic intention of the Northern Expedition to regain the Central Plains.
In fact, even if the Yan captives are determined to abandon the capital and flee westward, it is unlikely that they will give up their determination to maintain troops in Shandong and Henan. After abandoning the capital, the Yan captives will abandon Yanjing and flee to the southwest and Taiyuan.
They had the opportunity to unite their troops in Shandong and Henan, while Lin Fu was in the Taihang Mountains east of Taiyuan, preparing an ambush for the Yanlu in the Taihang Mountains to suppress the army, so they were not afraid of them escaping in the direction of Taiyuan.
The defeat at the Battle of Hejin and the devastating destruction of the Sea-Sea Defense Line had General Yan Lu in a panic. Overall, he did not have enough time to reflect and summarize.
Less than seven or eight days later, the Huaidong Army quickly kicked off the Tianjin Sea Landing War in a blitzkrieg style.
The Yan captives did not abandon the Tianjin Sea and march their troops to the inland hinterland far away from the coast. Instead, they clung to the city regardless of the direct threat from the Huaidong battleship's broadsides, thus dooming the 20,000 defenders to destruction.
Even if Huaidong's artillery technology is immature, the artillery that took two years to be cast with the power of an entire country, and nearly a thousand people concentrated on this small battlefield, is enough to cover up all the shortcomings.
It took Lin Fu two and a half years to launch the Northern Expedition. After the official opening of the Northern Expedition, several island crossbow fields in Shengsi and Haizhou, just for test firing and drills, accounted for 100% of the ammunition consumed by the Ordnance Supervisor so far.
One and a half percent of the total ammunition produced so far.
In addition to testing artillery and artillery performance, another major goal is to train a group of qualified gunners and artillery commanders through large-scale tests and drills, so that the water infantry can master the use of artillery on complex battlefields on land and sea.
Various tactics.
Perhaps the artillery tactics of the Huaidong Army at this time are not yet mature, but compared to the unprepared Yan soldiers, they are much better. If you are prepared but not prepared, you will not be able to achieve an overwhelming victory that can be defeated in one blow.
As a result, Lin Fu's delay of more than two years was in vain?
Of course, Lin Fu was also very aware of the shortcomings of the artillery equipped by the Huaidong Army at this time.
At this time, the Huaidong artillery could not accurately control the casting precision of the bore tube and shells and the air tightness during firing. The hit rate in the longitudinal direction was very low. The firing technology was immature, and the probability of the bore exploding was very high.
, cannot be used in actual combat - therefore Huaidong currently only casts long-bore cannons with low flat angles, which can fire solid bullets horizontally to kill enemy fortresses and enemy dense battle formations more accurately, while in close combat, scattered bullets are used.
Bullets are the main thing.
The long-bore cannon has strict requirements on terrain and cannot attack targets behind obstacles. Its use in mountainous terrain is severely restricted. Furthermore, the firing time of the long-bore cannon is relatively long. Currently, Huaidong is the most well-trained
The gunner can only fire twenty cannons in an hour.
On the charge line of the enemy cavalry, no matter how well-trained the gunner is, he only has the chance to fire one solid bullet and one shotgun.
Theoretically, as long as Yanhu Mo understood the characteristics of the Huaidong artillery, pulled the main cavalry force to the hilly terrain of western or northeastern Hebei, and used dispersed and intermittent charge arrays, he could effectively suppress the tactical performance of the Huaidong artillery.
At this time, the main force of Yanhu's cavalry has not suffered a major setback. Including Yandong, Yanxi, Xihu, and the northwest Yi tribes, the total number of Yanhu's cavalry is nearly 200,000, but they are scattered throughout the country.
There are still about 70,000 cavalry on the defense line in Shandong and Henan, nearly 20,000 cavalry in Goryeo, 30,000 cavalry in the northern capital of Liaoyang and Liaodong, 30,000 cavalry in Jinzhong, Guanzhong, Yanxi and other places; Yan and Hu gathered to guard Yan
The number of cavalry in Beijing and its surrounding areas was less than 50,000, which was almost the main force used by Yan and Hu to defend the capital.
Although the number of cavalry guarding Yanjing and its surroundings at this time only accounted for a quarter of the total number of Bei Yan cavalry, these 50,000 cavalry accounted for half of the strength of the Yandong Zhuhu people, that is, the Donghu people, the core force of Bei Yan.
into or above.
As long as there is a chance to eat these 50,000 cavalry, even if the Northern Yan royal family has a chance to lead all the remaining 150,000 cavalry to flee westward, it will be difficult to effectively control the Yanxi Hus because the strength of the Donghu tribe has been greatly weakened.
The forces and troops of Xihu and the Yi tribes in the northwest will give Huaidong more opportunities to divide Yanhu and defeat them one by one.
If you want to kill the 50,000 captives and cavalry west of Wang Dengtai Mountain, Yanjing and the outskirts of Yanjing, go to the southeast of Yanjing and go to the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai to block the Huaidong Army's artillery muzzles.
Lin Fu decided to let Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out their wings, and temporarily hide the Denghai Zhenshi in Jinhai to rest and recuperate. This was his fundamental purpose.
The Huaidong Army prioritized the use of artillery in naval battles. Only the Denghai Zhen Division of the army was equipped with three crossbow battalions and 200 men of artillery on a large scale. Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng of the Fengli Battalion still used traditional horse infantry.
Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out on both wings and made first contact with the captive cavalry west of Wangdengtai Mountain and on both sides of the Baihe River. This was to limit the captive cavalry's access to artillery on the field battlefield and to expose the artillery tactics.
After the reserve troops and horses are mobilized from the sea route, they will cooperate with the Denghai Town Division to directly approach Yanjing City from the middle road. The Luqi will be faced with either intercepting the Huaidong Army from the front, or letting the Huaidong Army calmly advance to Yanjing.
The choice under the city.
Lin Fu was not worried that as time went on, more soldiers would rush to aid Yanjing.
The advantage of cavalry lies in mobility and priority in battlefield selection. On the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai, the Huaidong Jing Reebok Brigade has warships on both wings and artillery in the formation. There is no need to worry about the enemy cavalry being attacked by this formation.
Crash.
If the main force of the enemy's cavalry cannot fight on the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai, the Huaidong Army will concentrate on advancing towards the city of Yanjing; when it comes to defending the city, it will be the weakness of the Yanhu cavalry.
