Chengde frontline coalition headquarters.
Su Yu led the army after eight days of rapid marching to reach the coalition headquarters. However, he was also the first support unit to arrive at the front line. The rest of the troops sent by the governor were still on the way, and it was estimated that it would take seven or eight days to arrive.
Entering Wucheng, Su Yu's troops were arranged in the North Army Camp, and he followed a middle-aged adjutant to the headquarters to meet the commander-in-chief Zeng Tianle.
The location of the headquarters is relatively remote, in a small courtyard. Su Yu also understands that Japan has a large number of aviation forces, so naturally the headquarters cannot be set up in a too conspicuous place, otherwise, it will become a key target of the Japanese. .
Walking into the headquarters, many clerks were busy inside. The correspondents were also submitting telegrams one after another, and the telephone operators were also answering phone calls one after another. It was very busy.
"Commander Su, please come this way."
The middle-aged adjutant led Su Yu into the command headquarters. The interior was very bright, with three simulated sand tables of different sizes, and a dozen senior officers discussing tactics.
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander Su is here with the support troops."
"It's you!"
An admiral put down the document in his hand, looked at Su Yu with a frown and said, "I didn't expect Su Yuanzhong to send you here. It's really not like enemies don't get together!"
The person who spoke was none other than General Wang Sheng, who suffered two defeats at the hands of Su Yu.
"General Wang, long time no see," Su Yu said with a smile, "I should have been a little nervous coming to the headquarters alone, but unexpectedly I met an acquaintance here. I'm really happy."
"snort!"
Wang Sheng slammed the table and shouted, "Who the hell is an acquaintance of yours? Don't get too close to me. There is still a battle between us!"
"alright."
The white-haired old man at the head of the group spoke up and said, "Now is the joint war of resistance. Let's put aside the past grudges for the time being as they cannot affect the overall situation."
"Su Yu, right? You are very good. You can beat our students like this. You are an excellent commander." Zeng Tianle pointed at the sand table and said, "This is the battle plan we made. Take a look. Is there anything I need to add?”
"The commander-in-chief is too polite."
Su Yu took two steps forward and looked at the sand table in front of him. The offense and defense were very clear. The 20 divisions of the Eastern Kingdom launched an attack on Yanjing from three directions: Yangcheng, Akagi, and Jincheng. The only way to enter Yanjing was to pass through. It was Chengde, where the frontline headquarters was located.
If you want to stop the attack of the 20 divisions of the Eastern Kingdom, you must defend the 110-kilometer defense zone in Chengde and use soldiers to forge a 110-kilometer defense line.
According to the layout on the sand table, the imperial court dispatched ten new troops this time, which is 300,000 troops, plus the 750,000 troops of the five major military governors, which is 1.05 million troops to guard this 110-kilometer-long defense zone.
The 20 divisions of the Eastern Kingdom have about 500,000 troops. With this ratio of 2 to 2, the coalition has an advantage in terms of strength, but Su Yu is thinking in his heart, does it really have an advantage?
Looking at the loophole-filled defense layout on the sand table, Su Yu nodded and praised the commander-in-chief Zeng Tianle, "As expected of the Great Xia Military God. As the commander of the corps, I will obey the arrangements in everything."
"Hahaha."
Zeng Tianle said with a smile, "This is just a preliminary combat plan. After all the corps commanders have arrived, we will discuss it together and improve this combat plan based on the actual situation."
"Okay, you've had a hard journey, go and rest first. I'll call you when the other commanders of the corps arrive."
Zeng Tianle said with a smile.
After receiving the expulsion order, Su Yu didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he returned directly to the Beijun Camp.
After returning to the military camp, he reproduced the sand table he had just seen at the headquarters and said to Wang Wen next to him, "What do you think of this combat plan?"
"It's precise and comprehensive, but," Wang Wen looked at Su Yu and said, "it's too idealistic."
"Take this 110-kilometer defense zone as an example. It is impossible for the various corps to cooperate with each other." Wang Wen looked at Su Yu and said, "Once the war starts, these people will not cooperate with each other. This coalition army is originally It can be said that it is a fantasy to achieve mutual cooperation if they are a piece of loose sand."
"Also," Wang Wen continued, "if Japan concentrates its forces to attack from one point, the rest of our troops will not be able to provide support in time. This combat plan is too idealistic."
"you say."
Su Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "We can see such shortcomings at a glance. Do you think the court can't see it? Do you think Zeng Tianle, the marshal of the armed forces who is known as the God of War, can't see it?"
"Then why are they still doing this?"
"Use the power of the Eastern Kingdom to eliminate the power in the hands of the major governors," Su Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "I went to Jinling a few days ago, and my father told me that if you want to defeat the Eastern Kingdom, you will have three to five years to do it. Yes, this view is correct, and the imperial court naturally understands this truth."
Su Yu continued, "If all the 750,000 troops supported by the five major warlords are killed in the battle, then at least a large part of the Dongyang Kingdom's troops will be consumed, and the court can continue to ask the major warlords to send troops to support. If the major warlords do not support If you do, you will be despised by the 50 million people of Daxia, so the imperial court believes that the major military governors will continue to send troops to support you."
"and."
Su Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "I just received news from the Intelligence Bureau that the imperial court plans to carry out a large-scale relocation and move the palace to the south. If the major governors do not support it, the imperial court is likely to open a road to the south. In this way The Oriental Kingdom can directly attack the territory occupied by the five major military governors. In this way, even if the major military governors do not want to resist, there is nothing they can do."
"This war will not end within one or two years. The imperial court understands better than we do. They also know that Yanjing cannot be defended, so they have this unrealistic battle plan."
Su Yu pointed at the map and said, "Once this battle plan is implemented, look at it, the troops sent to support by the major governors will be almost impossible to escape except fighting to the death with the Dongyang National Division."
"That's right."
Wang Wen agreed and said, "The positions defended by each corps are almost all open areas. Once a war starts, it is almost impossible to retreat, because once you abandon your position and retreat, you will become a living target."
"So," Su Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "The imperial court is using 1.05 million soldiers to fight a war of attrition with the Eastern Kingdom. As long as these 1.05 million soldiers can eliminate more than half of the attacking troops, then the imperial court's goal will be achieved."
"What a scheming person!"
Wang Wen was afraid for a while and said, "It's amazing how scheming these people who stay in the court for a long time are!"
