Chapter 397: It's about to break out (1)

War is the continuation of politics, and this sentence is truth in any era. In this regard, no one can understand more thoroughly than Yinzuo in this era. Yinzuo needs a great victory to establish his prestige in order to carry out the reforms he wants. At the same time, he also wants to teach the greedy polar bear a lesson through this great victory and expand the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty outward. As for the incorporation of the Asian part of Russia into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, it is not the purpose of this battle. It is left to future generations to complete, and this is the strategic goal of Yinzuo's battle.

It is one thing to clarify the strategic goals, but how to achieve the strategic goals is another thing. Facing more than 10,000 fully armed Russians, it is not impossible to fight the enemy head-on, but the cost is too great, so great that Yinzuo could not bear it. After all, Yinzuo still hopes to lead his iron-blooded troops who have experienced modern wars to suppress the stubborn people in the capital. If they are too damaged and have no most important weight on hand, Yinzuo will have to spend a lot of effort to achieve the change.

It is not advisable to face the enemy head-on, and it is even more unrealistic to attack Brento Haizi Fortress. So the choice before Yinzuo is to lure the old Russians into the hinterland of Jungel, disperse the enemy's troops, and then defeat them one by one, or to surround the points and attack, or use the terrain to attack, etc. are all tactics that can be chosen. As for how to lure the enemy into depth and force the enemy to divide the troops, it is not a simple matter. It is necessary to analyze the battlefield situation in detail to finally determine it. Sitting in the Gilante camp, I naturally cannot achieve this goal. Entering the Jungel Basin became the first thing I need to do now. On the third day of the third month of the Yuanzhuo year, Yinzuo personally led 10,000 soldiers of three firearms basin, two thousand good at battalions, three thousand Khalkha Mongol cavalry and three thousand Jungel cavalry entered the 800-mile dry sea and marched towards the Jungel Basin.

This was not the first time that Yinzuo had crossed the 800-mile dry sea. When Mr. Kangxi personally made an expedition, Yinzuo had accompanied him and had already made sufficient preparations for the hardships of the journey. With the strong logistics supply capacity of the Qing Dynasty and the careful planning of Zhou Yongcheng, the logistics manager of the West Expedition, Yinzuo's army arrived in the Qitai area without any danger on April 6, 2018. At the same time, the five thousand troops of the Ili General Kosoa, who set out earlier, struggled to cross the mountains and ridges to Tori, about 500 miles from Urumqi and about 300 miles from Brento Fortress; the Wuwan army of Li Ke's troops of the Western Army also crossed Qinghai Province and arrived in Ruoqiang; the east and west armies were stationed on the spot and did not move forward again.

Yinzuo would not do the stupid things that he would use a tired army to fight a powerful enemy. It is natural to prepare for war, understand the enemy's situation and even determine the final strategy and tactics. On the eighth day of April 2013, the children of the "Honghu" sent back the latest news: the Russian army frequently sent small troops to plunder, massacre herdsmen, rob cattle and sheep, and it is suspected that the attack operation is about to be launched.

"Master, all the great masters, I think the reason why the enemy chose to send troops at this time is that it is the time when cattle and sheep are thriving. The tribes cannot migrate normally. Most of them gather in Urumqi, Jinghe, Qitai and other places with lush water and grass. At this time, the troops can force the Junggar tribe to concentrate all their strength to resist. The enemy can defeat them by relying on the advantage of firearms, thereby crushing the fighting power of the Junggar tribe and achieving the purpose of occupation. I think the enemy is in my opinion. I think the enemy is in my opinion.

In the dark, this battle should be ambushed. The last general suggested that our army ambush on Mount Karamari. After the Russians sent troops, the entire army would attack the Brento Haizi Fortress, first cut off its way back, and then give a head-on strike when the enemy returned to help to achieve the idea of ​​defeating the enemy in one battle." At the beginning of the pre-war seminar, the commander of the Zuoying Camp, the former "Dark Arrow" No. 4, Ye Nanhe, stood up first, holding a thin wooden stick, and speaking smoothly on the huge sand table.

As soon as Ye Nanhe finished speaking, the deputy general of the Right Ying, Kuixuea, immediately stepped out and said: "Master, all the great masters, the last general thinks that the analysis of the enemy situation of Lord Ye is reasonable, but the strategic choice of our army is wrong. According to the news sent back from the front, the Brento Haizi Fortress is extremely strong. If our army is stationed at the city and fails to break through this fortress in a short time, once the main force of the enemy returns to help, our army will inevitably be attacked from both sides. This is a taboo of military strategists, so we must be careful. The last general thinks that this is better: the enemy's troops are nothing more than three routes of advance - to take Urumqi directly from the middle, attack Jinghe from the west, and go straight from the east.

Qitai, among these three places, Urumqi is the most concentrated place for herders. If the last general is an enemy chief and wants to force Junggar to fight, he will definitely take Urumqi directly. Our army can pretend to be the main force in Urumqi to prepare for the battle, while the main force of the army is still ambushed in Karamari Mountain. After the enemy's army leaves, the Eastern Route Army pretends to be the main force to threaten Brento Haizi, forcing the enemy to seek help. Our army's main force takes advantage of the enemy's return to aid, stroking its back, attacking forward and back, and defeating it in one battle, you can win a complete victory, and then take advantage of the victory to siege Brento Haizi fortress, and you can achieve full success."

"Master, all the masters, the general thought that the strategy of Deputy General Kui sounds reasonable, but in fact it is not. First, the Koso Abe of our Eastern Army has no weapon to attack the city except for more than ten old artillery pieces, and is unable to make the illusion of full strength. Instead, it may be defeated by the defenders of Brento Haizi Fortress. In this way, the enemy in the front will definitely not return to help. Once it occupy Urumqi, even if our main force attacks with all its strength, it will only be a death battle. It is not advisable to fight with the enemy when the morale of the army is not superior. The general thought that our army would rather concentrate all its strength. After the enemy attacks, attack from Karamari Mountain, Tori and Ruoqiang, and fight with the enemy in Wujiaqu. It is best to attack the weak and encircle and suppress the three routes." Li Dahai, deputy general of the vanguard battalion, stepped out to oppose Kuixu's strategy and put forward his own opinions.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate." Sun Sihao, the commander of the Central Military Barracks, couldn't help but jump up and oppose: "Master, sir, the last general thinks that Master Li's strategy is really inappropriate. Regardless of whether our army can win with all our strength or not, the three armies are far apart. It is difficult to be able to command simultaneously. Once a loophole occurs, it will be easy to be defeated by the enemy. If our army's advantage in the darkness is gone, this strategy cannot be done. The last general thinks that it is better for our army to take the initiative to attack. First, use the Eastern Route Army to enter the Kazakh Khanate, and use the cavalry to cut off the enemy's subsequent logistics supply line. The main force of the army will be able to siege Brento Haizi Fortress, and siege without fighting, trapping the enemy's troops."

"If this strategy fails, it's a big mistake. I will think..."

...

The generals of the whole family expressed their opinions and refused to give in to each other. A pre-war seminar was very lively. The fierce debate made the Junggar tribe and the Khalkha Mongol generals who participated in the war stunned, and they didn't understand why the generals of the firearm battalion dared to offer suggestions so unrestrainedly in front of the sage. In fact, it was very simple to put it bluntly. This was the rule that Yinzuo personally set - for any exercise or case analysis, everyone attending the meeting must speak freely and speak freely.

From a strategic concept, all the strategies offered must be recorded. As part of the performance assessment, it would be a great achievement if the strategies offered can be adopted. The reason why Yinzuo set such a rule was not the construction of the current team, but the needs of the subsequent military system reform and the establishment of the military academy - the harvest of a large number of officers who have experienced the test of war and are strategic and tactical literate is one of the strategic goals of Yinzuo's expedition this time.

The guys were fighting red, but Yinzuo never spoke, but just sat on the top with a smile and listened quietly. After dozens of generals spoke one by one, Yinzuo waved down and signaled to the generals to be quiet. He looked at Ce Wang Alabutan and said, "What do you want to say if you love me?"

Cewang Alabandan has been traversing the grassland for many years, and has experienced countless wars of all kinds and big, so his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. He heard the strategic battle strategy of the Qing army generals. He was really shocked in his heart, but he was still calm on his face. When he saw Yinzuo ask questions, he hurriedly stepped out and bowed: "Master, I think what the generals said is reasonable, but I am ignorant and I don't know that I should say this. I respectfully ask the Master to make judgments."

Damn, this old boy is really a fucking trick. Seeing that Ce Wang Alabutan didn't want to say it, Yinzuo cursed in his heart, but did not point it out. He smiled and said, "As a landlord, I am a talented man who has been in battle for a long time. I have a lot to rely on. I hope you will not lose my high hopes."

"I should obey the will of the saint, but I have the order, no one dares to refuse. I am willing to fight for the vanguard, and I hope the saint will be grateful." Cewang Alabutan said sincerely.

"Okay, my words are very consistent with my heart. Since this is the case, I will not be polite." Yinzuo suddenly stood up, walked to the huge sand table placed in the middle of the tent, glanced at the generals in the tent, and said loudly: "My dear friends, my intentions have been decided. This battle is a life-and-death battle of our Qing Dynasty. We will not be allowed to slack off. Anyone who does not obey orders will be killed without mercy!"

All the generals knelt down and whispered loudly: "As long as the Holy Order, we will fight bloody until we die, and we will never surrender!"

"Cewang Alabutan, Aquana (the prince of the Khalkha Mongol) obeyed the order." Yinzuo said calmly.

"I'm waiting!" Ce Wang Alabutan, A Quan Abun stepped forward and answered loudly.

Yinzuo said with a serious expression: "I ordered you and others to lead their troops forward. Once you encounter the main force of the old Russians, you will retreat after a moment of battle. You should not fight and lure the main force of the enemy to march towards the Karamari Mountain Pass. If the enemy does not pursue you, you can continue to harass him, tired the enemy and anger the enemy to follow you and others. Our main force sets an ambush here, launches an attack, surrounds but does not attack, and asks the enemy to send people back to ask for help, and then sets up an ambush here, first annihilate the enemy to aid the main force, then rush to attack the Brento Haizi Fortress, and finally launches a general attack to annihilate the besieged enemies."

A Quan Ah responded loudly without hesitation, but Ce Wang Alabutan hesitated and said, "Sir, my troops are all cavalry. Once a war begins, although it is convenient to retreat, how can we ensure that the enemy will pursue it? If it is a battle, our arms will be insufficient, and there will be heavy casualties. I am not afraid to fight, but I am worried that I will miss the great affairs of the Lord. I hope the Lord will clearly understand it."

"It's not a problem. I don't need you to fight with the Russians. I just need you to ambush here. When the Russians pass by, the entire army will attack and leave as soon as they touch it. The Russians' Cossack cavalry will inevitably pursue you. You will fight and retreat. I will send troops here to support you. Once the Russians' Cossack cavalry hurts, the Russians' main force will definitely follow you." Yinzuo pointed at the sand table with a smile.

"This..." Cewang Alabutan's eyes quickly turned, "The emperor is wise, my honorary order is, but the firearm training of my subordinates has ended, those instructors..."

"Oh, they all retreated. I have promised to return the entire team to my beloved, so I will naturally not go back on my word. Well, after this battle, how about I will equip my troops with firearms?" Yinzuo said with a smile.

Cewang Alabutan was a commander who had been barely in charge for several months, just to trick the firearms from Yinzuo, but seeing that Yinzuo had no intention of giving enough firearms before the war, Cewang Alabutan was very annoyed. However, at this time, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and could only pretend to be grateful and cry, "I thank the Lord for your kindness, I will definitely swear to die to repay the emperor's love."

"Well, that's good. I'm waiting for good news for my dear. My troops will set out in the morning tomorrow. I personally lead the army to march towards Karamari Mountain." Yinzuo laughed and said, "Ada listened to you."

Ada, the commander of the cavalry battalion, rushed forward and fought a thousand, and said in less skillful Chinese: "The last general is here, the emperor said, the last general listened."

Er, this brat has been here for more than a year, and his Chinese proficiency is still bad. Yinzuo smiled at Ada's words and said in Mongolian: "Ada, you have been in my army for a year. What do you think?"

"I am very good. Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to fight for you!" Ada, who changed to Mongolian, spoke a lot smoother.

Yinzuo nodded and said, "Well, I will give you a task. You will lead a thousand cavalry to Caoliu to pick up the vanguard. I want you to give the Russian cavalry a cavalry class. The more you fight, the better. After the fight, leave, and lure the main force of the enemy to continue to follow. Then your troops and Cewang Alabutan took turns to harass the enemy and don't let the fish get out of the hook."

"Yes, I will understand." Ada rushed back.

"Ye Nanhe obeys the order, I want you to lead your army to set up an ambush here and let the Russian army go without taking action. When the reinforcements of the Russians arrive, the entire army will attack, and strive to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. I will ask Li Ke's troops to send 10,000 cavalry to assist you, and then take advantage of the victory to attack Brento Haizi Fortress. I will hand over the special team of the vanguard battalion to you. I will explain what to do," Yinzuo continued to order.

"Yes, the last general will take the order."

...

With the issuance of a series of orders, an atmosphere of war in the entire tent suddenly arose...
