It would be a bit exaggerated to say that Wang Jianguo was so afraid of the situation in front of him that he was like sieving chaff.
After all, there are still 130,000 fully armed soldiers and horses in our own formation, not to mention there are still plenty of grenades. Although the supply line has been completely cut off by the enemy, the current food, grass and artillery shells in the army can support the army to fight a hearty battle. , not too difficult.
Hand grenades were no better than artillery shells. They were big enough to be carried with the army. Perhaps Lin Biao had already anticipated this possibility, so the grenades were not transported by the supply line at all.
Instead, the shells were heavy and had to be transported by a large number of horse-drawn carriages. Not only were they heavy, but they were also all round, which would be a drag for the army to carry.
However, heavy things like artillery carts are always carried by the army and are not among the military supplies.
This resulted in the enemy being unable to pose any threat to them on the frontal battlefield even if they cut off the supply line or even obtained a large number of artillery shells.
Therefore, the fact that the supply line was cut off by the enemy was not an imminent problem before the three of them.
There are three important questions.
The first is the tactical problem of the 150,000 enemy troops on the opposite side.
Think about it, if the opponent only relies on the distance between the two sides to fight guerrillas without having a head-on conflict with the army, it will obviously be difficult for Qi Zhen's side carrying a heavy artillery truck to catch up with the opponent's speed, and it will be difficult to fight if it is dragged down. If you ignore it, you will face the danger of being attacked from behind. No matter how you look at it, you will feel uncomfortable.
The second is the 150,000 enemies in the west of Jizhou who are ready to move. If they and the enemies who are sneaking around to attack are surrounded by two sides, Qi Zhen's side will definitely face an extremely embarrassing situation. No matter what the final result is, the remaining It is difficult for the soldiers to pose a threat to Jizhou City, and this is something that the three of them cannot accept no matter what.
The third thing is what Wang Jianguo said. If the local camp has generals with auras or special skills like last night, it is obvious that our side has no advantage at all in terms of peak combat power, and may even be defeated by the opponent. Defeat them all point by point.
You must know that a powerful general who is good at fighting will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the entire war situation. If one's own side does not have the corresponding people to deal with it, the final result may be difficult to determine, but the cost to one's own side will undoubtedly be huge.
The enemy's tactics to bypass the enemy, the movements of the army to the west of Jizhou, and the unknown capabilities of the enemy generals created a dilemma for the 130,000-strong army at this time.
This is the difficulty in this battle.
"If we can have the same number of soldiers and horses as the enemy, even without those generals with outstanding military exploits, I will be sure to lead the entire army to win this war beautifully. It's a pity." Wang Jianguo sighed.
"Brother Wang, if things are really as you feared, what should we do?" Qin Feng couldn't hold back in the end and asked softly.
"Although we have guns, cannons and grenades, I don't think we will definitely win this war, so no matter what happens, there are three points we must abide by, unless something unexpected happens." Wang Jianguo said.
"Say." Qin Feng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"First, we must retreat along the supply line. If the 150,000 enemy troops behind us are really unwilling to appear in front of us and choose to use mobility to fight guerrilla warfare with us, then we will retreat, otherwise we will be We don’t do this kind of business where the enemy leads us by the nose and we suffer losses.”
"Secondly, if we encounter the enemy and are not sure that we will kill him before the enemy's support arrives, then we can still fight and retreat all the way to the west. As long as we enter the range of Yuzhou, we will not be safe. Yu, please be clear and run away."
"As for the third point, after fighting with the opponent, in addition to the three weapons of guns, guns and grenades, we might as well send some soldiers to make contact with the opponent first. If the enemy's army still has many enemy generals with outstanding combat power like last night, , so that we have to pay a huge price to annihilate the opponent, so please refer to Article 2 for the handling method."
Qin Feng looked unhappy after hearing this. He had never fought such a useless battle.
"Don't be dissatisfied. You have to know that the reason why we were able to achieve victory before was all based on weapons and equipment that far exceeded the level of this era. If you don't believe me, if I don't give you guns and cannons, there won't even be a military town outside Jizhou City." , do you think you can defeat him?" Wang Jianguo glanced at him sideways.
"The 130,000 soldiers under our command are almost the entire military force in Luoyang City. What we have to do is to win the final victory, rather than be determined to win or lose on local battlefields. Do you understand?" Wang Jianguo continued. asked.
Qin Feng nodded and said sincerely: "I understand, Brother Wang."
Wang Jianguo said in his heart that I am treating you well. He remembered that during the military exercise back then, he was much more powerful than this kid. With a regiment, he dared to challenge a division. Not only that, he also saw an opportunity to take advantage of him. Taking the opportunity, he directly used radio silence on his division headquarters, so that the division commander didn't even know where his regiment had gone.
Although relying on their own wit, they finally annihilated the red division through a small trick, the blue side still failed to achieve its strategic requirements and lost the entire military exercise simulation.
How many times did the teacher give him the belt in the end?
Seeing that Wang Jianguo was distracted at this time, Qin Feng asked tentatively: "Brother Wang?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, it's always right to be cautious anyway. Don't belittle yourself or be arrogant, remember." Wang Jianguo calmed down and taught Qin Feng a lesson.
"The last general takes orders." Qin Feng cupped his fists and cupped his hands.
"Report!" A fast horse came from ahead to detect the situation.
"Reporting to you two adults, we have found traces of the enemy ahead, right along our army's supply line, but, just..."
"It's just nothing, whining, tell me quickly." Wang Jianguo said impatiently.
"It's just that the enemy doesn't seem to be panicked, but seems to be waiting for us where he is." The cavalryman said incredulously.
Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng fell silent.
"I think the other party really doesn't want us to leave here in one piece." Wang Jianguo sighed.
Qin Feng understood what Wang Jianguo meant. If the enemy just wanted to slow down or even push back the angle of their attacking army, they could retreat temporarily and continue to harass their supply lines from behind. But since they were waiting there, it meant that the enemy's The general has realized that these 130,000 soldiers and horses can leave Jizhou at any time to recuperate, and they will never allow this to happen.
Choosing to resist hard not only means that these soldiers are extremely confident in their combat power, but also means that they are fully confident that even if they cannot defeat them, they can drag them to the three military towns to the west to support them.
No matter which choice it is, Wang Jianguo's side will definitely lose.
The distance between the two sides gradually approached, and Wang Jianguo's eyesight could clearly observe the figure of his opponent.
This means that the cannon's shooting range is about to reach.
Wang Jianguo suddenly remembered a saying: The truth is always within the range of the cannon.
"Don't worry, keep the distance closer. Since the enemy is so big, I don't mind letting him take a good memory." Wang Jianguo squinted his eyes and said coldly.
Apart from the team members, the only person in the world who knew the artillery range data was actually Cai Hao, who died outside Guangcheng Pass. That time he was brought to death by Lin Biao's conspiracy, and he died there neatly.
This time, Wang Jianguo was preparing to follow the same example, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent did not know the specific data of the artillery, and gave his opponent a vivid teaching lesson.
"According to what we just said, first plow the opponent with cannonballs, and then send out 10,000 soldiers to test the opponent's quality." Wang Jianguo turned to Qin Feng and said.
Qin Feng nodded and immediately ordered to go down.
The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the other party was still calm and motionless, Wang Jianguo showed a sneer on his lips.
If you want to delay here and wait for support, you have to be careful and you will be self-defeating.
Finally, the armies of both sides got into position and stopped five hundred meters apart.
No more, no less, one mile.
At this time, at the front of the enemy's line, several prisoners in disheveled clothes were pressed up and kneeling on the ground.
Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng's eyesight was not as abnormal as Qi Zhen's, and they could not clearly see the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who were supposed to be responsible for logistics supply from a distance. However, at a glance, there were a lot of gray-faced captured soldiers in this row. There should be no less than a hundred people.
In the enemy's formation, a tall and thick general rode his horse forward. He looked like Zhang Fei No. 2 with his sideburns, but his skin was not as dark as Zhang Fei's.
This man was holding a giant axe, looking at Wang Jianguo's side who stayed in place and was not in a hurry to attack, with a cruel expression on his face and licked his lips gently.
He waved his hand to the rear, and an equal number of swordsmen came behind the captive soldiers and raised their swords.
The burly general didn't look back, looked towards Wang Jianguo, and swung his right hand down suddenly.
Uh-huh!
The combined sound of the blade cutting off the head could be heard clearly even by Wang Jianguo, who was five hundred meters away.
One hundred soldiers responsible for transporting supplies moved their heads instantly, and blood spurted out from their chests, like red fountains.
The heads fell to the ground, some rolled forward, and most stayed in place, their eyes looking at the sky in horror, refusing to close their eyes.
The general seemed to be determined to use this method to shock people and boost morale. Perhaps with the intention of delaying time, he waved his hand to the rear again.
So a hundred more prisoners were escorted up, and the result was naturally the same.
If so, three times!
