Kang Jianguo enthusiastically urged his horse to run across the field, and only reined in the horse until he reached the river. Two pontoon bridges had been erected on the river. Soldiers were constantly crossing the Volga River and advancing southward, while the pack team was moving in an orderly manner. After passing another wider pontoon bridge, people shouted and horses neighed, some messengers puffed up their cheeks and whistled, and flag soldiers waving various small flags stood on high places to direct the actions of the troops. More than 100,000 troops parted ways here. They all went their separate ways, and the whole scene seemed a little chaotic.
Finally, after waiting for this battle, Kang Jianguo finally calmed down and calculated that the Czech Army had not experienced an all-round battle for a while. Guarding the northern border all day long had already reduced the enthusiasm of the Czech Army officers and soldiers. It has worn off a lot. In Kang Jianguo's words, if he continues like this, he will lose all passion when he sees the prostitutes in the brothel and his own soldiers.
The purpose of the war is very simple, either to capture the city or to capture the territory, or to destroy the enemy's effective force. This time Kang Jianguo will bear dual responsibilities, not only to destroy the enemy's effective force to the maximum extent, but also to seize the target in the shortest time, laying the foundation for the next plan. Lay the foundation.
According to the plan agreed upon with the Luzon people, the Tang Army will first cross the Volga River and launch a feint attack southward directly against Xizhe Province, while the two divisions of the Tenth Army will attack Kerman Province in Rosette Province. Attack from the east to attract the attention of Hansen's allies. For the Hansen Alliance, this is also a game. The Tang Army's feint troops will swim along the Volga River, but the fatal blow will be on the front of Nishizawa Province. The Tang Army's feint attack will swim along the Volga River. Launch a diversionary attack. When facing the Luzon people in the front, the goal is to capture Jersey City, the capital of Jersey Province.
The game where Cui Wenxiu set up was full of feints, attracting the attention of Luzon and the Hansen Alliance at the same time, making the Luzon people think that the Tang army was using its partial army to attract the attention of the Hansen Alliance and using its main force to give the Hansen Alliance a fatal blow. Hit, and the same. Cui Wenxiu's game can also be explained in the same way on the Hansen Alliance side. This complicated game lies in where the main force of the Tang army is concentrated. Like an attacker, both feet have already started to act, but what is the direction? Is it true that the straight punch is false and the left hook is true, or is the left hook false and the square kick is true? No one can know until the mystery is revealed, which is what makes this game interesting.
The layout of this game is not without limitations. It requires sufficient troops for the coach to mobilize and respond. Moreover, it is necessary to have strong mobile forces that can be put into battle at any time, and at the same time, there is no possibility of cooperation between the two sides. However, the preliminary work has successfully caused both sides to secretly betray their allies, and two Ranger regiments also quietly passed through Kunduz. The province went south and entered the Rossai Province. With a strong mobile force, Cui Wenxiu also had enough capital to play a game. Of course, this depends on whether the enemy cooperates.
Several pontoon bridges have been built on the Volga River, almost every fifty or sixty miles, and the preliminary bridge building work has not been blocked by the Luzon and Hansen Alliance. Everyone is following the direction they want. It is assumed that the Tang Army will cross the Volga River to the south (north) and launch an attack on Luzon (Hansen Allied Forces). Precautions are definitely prepared, but almost everyone holds an expectation that the Tang Army will quickly cross the river to launch an attack. . It is best to let both sides fight to the death, and it is best to let both sides fall into an irresistible battle for control. However, good ideas can only be ideas, and one party's dream will always be shattered. It depends on who can have the last laugh.
The six divisions of the Terok Army were divided into three clusters. The 1st and 2nd Divisions moved along the north bank of the Volga River, while the 4th, 5th and directly affiliated divisions crossed the Volga River to the south, staying in line with the Volga River. Not too far or too close. Both clusters move forward along the Volga River, and the Volga River flows from east to west until it reaches the border area of Nishizawa Province and Kerman Province, and finally changes its course southward across Nishizawa Province and into Lebo Province. , and finally injected into the Baltic Sea in Leibo Province, and the activities of these two clusters make it impossible to determine where the attack direction of this cluster will be.
The Seventh Army Corps put up a posture in Lahore Province, southeast of Roseay Province, that it might enter from the north of Pangong Province or the northeast of Xize Province. This also made the Luzon people a little nervous. Although it was different from the Tang people Come to an agreement. However, the credibility of the Tang people in this regard was really poor. They did not dare to believe it easily. The two hundred thousand troops were already in a tight formation. At the same time, out of caution, Kloof asked Frederick to take command in the Comini area for the first time. Lie first sent two additional regiments into the De'an area of southern India to ensure that the Luzon Army could maintain sufficient counterattack force when it encountered the Tang Army's attack.
Xiong Daoyuan remained silent in the ranks of the army. As an officer with Gaoyue blood, he inherited the Gaoyue people's ability to do good deeds and run to the ground. His deputy Shui Zheng was a pure Gaoyue native. The entire division was also composed of hard-working and hard-working officers. Composed of Gaoyue soldiers, this division has been guarding northern Xinjiang since it was reorganized into the Fourth Division of the Nanjie Locke Division. The perseverance of the Gaoyue people is best reflected in this division. Xiong Daoyuan can even boast, Compared with the First Division of the Second Army, known as the Gaoyue First Division, the combat effectiveness of this division is not inferior, but it has never had a chance to be displayed. Now it is so easy to get such an opportunity. From Northern Xinjiang, where there is no war in the short term, to the mid-continent war zone, he can immediately join the battlefield. This makes Xiong Daoyuan inexplicably excited.
The troops marched on the banks of the Volga River like a dragon. Xiong Daoyuan and Shuizheng did not have horses like other division commanders. They preferred to march on foot with the troops, so that they could exercise their bodies. They are more able to mingle with the grassroots officers and soldiers. Xiong Daoyuan and Shuizheng have always maintained this style.
"Boss, what kind of medicine is Cui Shuai selling in the gourd this time? There are so many floating bridges built on the Volga River, sometimes crossing the river to the south bank, and sometimes crossing the river back to the north bank. Isn't this because he is full and full? Huh?" Shui Zheng slapped the young Gao Yue who passed by him on the head, while chatting with his boss who was immersed in marching.
"Shui Zheng, you kid, please be more polite. Cui Shuai has his own intentions. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build so many floating bridges. Cui Shuai doesn't have that much leisure time. Although the Volga River is in the dry season in spring, The river is so wide that it takes a lot of time to swim across it. We built a pontoon bridge and it only takes less than an hour for a division to cross successfully. I think Cui Shuai must have a purpose for doing this." Xiong Daoyuan also had some doubts in his heart. , the direct division and the fifth division on the other side of the river were not far from our own division and the second division. They were all soaking mushrooms on both sides of the Volga River in such a leisurely manner, but the four divisions were fighting six The division's flag seems to be deliberately showing off the troops, but what's the point
"Until now, we haven't got an accurate answer, and we don't even know who we are going to fight in this battle. Isn't this frustrating?" Shui Zheng still looked reluctant.
"Shui Zheng, what's the matter with you kid? Can you achieve your goal by just complaining here? Let me tell you, I don't know the goal either. The commander of the Second Division Yuchi just talked to me again This matter is indeed a bit weird this time. Cui Shuai only laid out the marching route, but did not determine the exact target of the march. Hehe, there may be something weird here." Xiong Daoyuan glanced at his deputy and pondered.
"Oh? The second division doesn't know the target either?" Shui Zheng was much more mentally balanced. He didn't even know it, so it's not Cui Shuai's favoritism.
"Well, I guess, the direct divisions and the fifth division on the other side of the river are just like us, just moving forward in a clear-minded way. Maybe Deputy Commander Zhan may know some clues, but we have to It's too difficult to pry something out of his mouth, so it's better to save that little effort. But I think it's almost time to open the lid. There are two pontoon bridges ahead, which means that there are fifty miles away and the Volga River. We will turn south, and we can roughly guess the direction before we can cross the river." Xiong Daoyuan smacked his lips, and his eyes flashed with two dim lights in the night.
Xiong Daoyuan's guess was correct. The direct divisions and the fifth division on the other side of the river did not know exactly where the target of the upcoming battle was. They, like the first and second divisions, also tossed the river twice. However, Zhan Botao, as the commander of the entire westward advance group, participated in the formulation of the campaign, but this campaign had too many variables, and the determination of the final campaign goal still required a final decision from the rear.
Ahead is the Daya Ferry of the Volga River. The early engineering troops have built a pontoon bridge here. If we don't cross the river here, then there will only be a pontoon bridge at the big bend of the Volga River to the west. Zhan Botao watched in silence. Looking at Hao Fang, it seems that the rear headquarters has not determined the final target, which makes Zhan Botao a little worried.
A sound of horse hoofbeats rushed over from behind, and the horseshoes made a crisp impact on the Gobi desert. Zhan Botao, who had been waiting for something, his eyes lit up, and his eyes suddenly focused on the sound of a horse riding through the dark night. On the way, even the senior officials of the two divisions following Zhan Botao turned their attention to Lai Qi.
Lai Qi's face was already covered with dust, and his face was covered with only a pair of eyes, without any extra words. Lai Qi rushed forward, dismounted from his saddle and presented a letter with both hands: "Headquarters order!"
Zhan Botao didn't have time to say anything more. He pressed the letter and tore it open. He glanced at the ten lines and his face suddenly rose: "Order the front army to immediately divert across the river and march northward! The fifth division is in front, and the direct division will follow up! "
