Then, Tiger began to briefly introduce the strategic deployment of Qi's army: "The strategic deployment of Qi's army is roughly as follows. The opponent has assembled three main forces in the south, led by three princes of Qi."
"The eldest prince of Qi is responsible for the middle defense line with the greatest pressure, the second prince is responsible for the eastern defense line near the sea, and the third prince is responsible for the relatively safe westernmost defense line." He roughly marked three areas on the map, marked one, two and three respectively. .
After marking, he continued: "The strength of the troops is also that the troops under the eldest prince of Qi are the strongest, the second prince is slightly weaker, and the army under the third prince is the weakest."
"The strength of the three main armies is not much different, mainly due to the difference in weapons and equipment and personnel training levels. The three armies all have a strength of about 150,000, which is almost all the wealth that Qi State can provide." After finishing speaking, , he looked at Tang Mo.
"Isn't this what we want?" Tang Mo asked curiously.
According to the thinking of the Tang Kingdom, the more the enemy forces gather their troops for a decisive battle, the more consistent it will be with the Tang Kingdom's tactical style, and the easier the battle will be.
Tiger nodded and agreed with Tang Mo's view: "Indeed, if these troops can be surrounded and annihilated, then our pressure will be greatly reduced in the subsequent battles."
"Then don't let these three troops go. It's best to achieve the effect of annihilating them on the spot." Tang Mo smiled and decided the life or death of the main force on the border of Qi State.
All the generals present stood at attention and held their heads high: "Yes!"
"You guys keep talking." Tang Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax. In fact, no one was unrestrained, because this was the first time that His Majesty the King of the Tang Dynasty came to the mainland of his country.
"On the front, the opponent basically followed the previous defense layout of the Gobel Kingdom, with three trench defense lines, plus bunkers as support, and artillery groups deployed in the rear as support." Redman's speech came next.
He was talking about the construction of border fortifications of the Qi army: "Based on the experience of the war between Goblins and Dorne, Cyric's military advisors gave Qi many new ideas. For example, they built many Landmines were laid in areas considered dangerous, and in some areas there were barbed wire fences to block attacks.”
"The enemy has also made some improvements in the layout of the trenches. They have arranged barracks behind the second-line defense positions to improve the resting environment for the troops." He talked as if he had visited the enemy positions in person.
In fact, this was all Li Ao's credit. The Tang Kingdom's intelligence agency had indeed inspected almost all of the opponent's defense lines, and even brought back a lot of photos when conditions permitted.
It has to be said that although the top brass of Qi State are facing a formidable enemy, the corruption of the grassroots troops is indeed deep-rooted and cannot be changed in a short time.
"In order to delay our attack, the opponent also deployed more bunkers in the third-line defense zone, and built permanent defense fortifications in some areas." He pointed to the detailed line map and photos of the opponent's defense line that had been placed on the table. material.
Tang Mo looked at the pictures of trenches that looked like World War I before him, raised his head and asked several generals: "This set of things doesn't seem to be of much use to us, does it?"
Tiger said with some uncertainty: "We are not sure about the actual performance of the Air Force, but breaking through the enemy's defense line should not be a big problem."
"Intelligence shows that the enemy has deployed a certain number of anti-aircraft guns in the strategic hinterland, but their performance is relatively backward. They are all outdated products of Cyric." Redman also explained.
Leo also added: "Qi State does not pay attention to air defense. In fact, there are not many countries in the world that really pay attention to air defense."
Loew also talked about the shortcomings of the airship: "The speed of the airship is too slow, so it is too easy to attack the airship with anti-aircraft guns. Therefore, everyone is not optimistic about our success in using the airship to attack the Qi Congress."
Tiger continued: "Because it can only raid at night, the attack range of the airship is also very limited. In fact, it is only limited to a distance of about 200 kilometers deep on the front line, and it is also very easy to defend."
Redman looked at Tang Mo at this time: "Your Majesty! We would like to know if the Air Force's promise to paralyze all strategic targets within 400 kilometers of the enemy's territory is serious?"
Tang Mo pinched his chin. He was very confident in his air force: "That's about right. I confirmed the situation with the air force before I came here. On the first day, they can dispatch more than 300 aircraft to support ground operations."
With more than 100 Stukas and more than 100 FW-190 guest dive bombers, it shouldn't be difficult to collapse the enemy's defense line, right?
In fact, Tang Mo can dispatch more aircraft to join the attack, but once the aircraft are displayed in people's field of vision, the entire sky will become different.
He still has hundreds of transport planes to put into use, fighter jets to be deployed on the islands he controls and within the country, and reconnaissance planes and other aircraft to occupy pilots.
Coupled with the fact that the pilots needed to take turns to rest, he was really unwilling to put all his bets on one Qi country.
However, according to common sense, using air power to surprise the opponent at once can indeed achieve huge results.
So Tang Mo assembled 100 B-17 strategic bombers, 120 Stuka dive bombers, and 110 FW-190 fighter jets to support this ground operation.
After the world's first large-scale air-to-ground battle began, according to the plan, more than 500 C47 transport aircraft and passenger aircraft that have been accumulated for more than a year and have not been put into use will be fully put into use.
In a few days, flying to your destination will become the most convenient travel option in Datang itself. It will only take a few hours to reach Linshui from Tongcheng, which will greatly save precious time.
Unknowingly, the efficiency of the entire world has been improving rapidly. In the past, only 30,000 to 50,000 troops could be invested in a war, but now the troops assembled by both sides in a war have reached hundreds of thousands!
Because it was his first time to engage in actual combat, Tang Mo did not dare to speak too highly, but what he knew was that the power of the modern air force would definitely exceed everyone's imagination.
Of course, as the war develops, Tang Mo may use more than 500 aircraft - which is almost his entire family fortune, or in other words, this is almost all his combat aircraft wealth.
There is no way, there are still too few pilots, and the previous confidentiality has not allowed large-scale training, so we can only temporarily endure the lack of talent.
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
But soon, as the war expands and aircraft are lifted from confidentiality, pilot training will become more convenient, the scale will no longer be restricted by confidentiality, and the training speed will definitely increase several times.
"Since the arrow has to be fired, it is time for us to think carefully about recalling the ambassador to the Great China Empire, as well as the envoys to Chu and other countries." Luo Jie said to Tang Mo: "Besides, war... always requires There’s a reason.”
"The reason is easy to find. All we need to do is find a way to let Qi Guo take the first shot." Tang Mo didn't think this was a difficult task.
So he looked at Leo, who was naturally full of confidence: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I have already arranged the person who caused the conflict."
"You see, Minister Li is still very capable." Tang Mo smiled and looked at You Lin aside: "Then recall the envoys stationed in other countries, in my name! Let them come back to report on their duties!"
Tang Mo didn't think that if he repeatedly provoked Dahua, the Dahua Empire would tolerate it again and again. Especially when the entire Dahua Empire knew that the Tang Kingdom's backyard was unstable and that the Laens Empire had evil intentions, they would definitely get rid of Tang Mo's trouble.
Tang Mo knew from the beginning that this war would develop into a real world war. Compared with the war in front of us, the Trade Federation Civil War that has not yet completely ended is simply child's play!
The previous war only affected the eastern continent of the Endless Sea, but this time the war may include the east and west continents, and even spread to the entire Endless Sea.
However, after accumulating strength for such a long time, Tang Mo was not afraid of this war. He even wanted to rely on this war to completely establish the dominance of the Tang Kingdom.
"That's a good reason. Since Your Majesty is here, they will naturally come back to meet." You Lin said with a smile. It had been a long time since she had seen her lover, and she was naturally smiling like a flower along the way.
"We must ensure the safety of our people! Try not to place your hopes on the kindness of the enemy." Tang Mo reminded everyone: "Next, I will follow your arrangements and show myself to Copper City, right? "
"Thank you, Your Majesty! You showed up in the Tongcheng Industrial Zone and showed that you care about industrial development. Only in this way can you paralyze the enemy and make them think that we are not fully ready for war." Roger said to Tang Mo with a smile.
Tang Mo nodded, of course he knew he had to do this. In fact, newspapers about his inspection of the industrial zone have already been printed. The entire Tang Dynasty will continue to pay attention to this public appearance and publicize His Majesty the King's concern for people's livelihood.
According to the next plan, Qi's troops will "invade" Tang and provoke a war, and then Tang will fight back.
As for where this counterattack will hit and when it will stop, only the Tang Kingdom has the final say!
"Then I'll go to Tongcheng. I also want to see what kind of construction there is in Tongcheng." Looking at the slightly nervous ministers, Tang Mo once again motioned for everyone to relax: "Mr. We...the victory belongs to us! No need to be so nervous! The Tang Kingdom...must win!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live Your Majesty! The Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty...will surely win!" Everyone in the room raised their chins and echoed loudly.
