Like a millstone slowly moving, from the heart-grinding imperial capital to the entire empire, from the coast of the East to the Baltic Sea coast, from the Tengger Grassland to Sikkim Island, news of the empire's formation of the 14th and 15th legions spread like wildfire. , what this means, even the people in the empire can smell it.
All major media outlets in the imperial capital have unanimously targeted the newly established Liberian Military Alliance. The Liberians have always been the old enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Since the beginning of the Tang River Empire, the feud between the two sides has never diminished, especially The Kaman people's march southward reached Heshuo and approached Gyeonggi, almost causing the Tang people to face an unprecedented fall. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Qin at that time and now the Emperor led the Western Xinjiang Army to defeat the Kaman people in time. attempt, otherwise the Tang clan might be in a situation of no return. Later, the war began to turn in the empire's favor. The empire successively defeated the invasion of the Liberians, and finally ended the war with a great victory. But the Liberians did not sink because of this. The revival plan started from the Sislo Empire was gradually launched in the Liberian countries. Although it did not last long, the great harvests for two consecutive years made the Liberian countries The strength of the empire recovered quite quickly, and the military alliance formed made the wise people of the empire worry even more. The empire's military expansion at this time just catered to this mentality of the people in the empire.
The order to establish the southern theater was only issued to senior generals at the level of regiment commander. Until the exact time for the battle against the Machikhans was determined, this order could only be implemented in a concealed state. Liang Chongxin did not stay in the imperial capital for too long. The climate was too hot at the moment. Neither the Romanian side nor the Yue Jing side were willing to start a war at this time, and their own war preparations were not sufficient.
From the moment he accepted the order, Liang Chongxin's thoughts had already begun to revolve around how to win this battle.
There are three places where the empire can launch attacks, one is on the west side of Ronisia. This is also the main direction of attack determined by His Majesty the Emperor. Ronisia is very mountainous. Fighting in this area can avoid the powerful cavalry of the Machikhans. The Imperial Second Army is officially a mountainous army with Gaoyue infantry as the main force, which can give full play to its specialties. , and the mountains in western Ronisia are relatively fragmented, and there are many passable passes, passes and mountain cols, which are quite suitable for launching focused attacks from this area. Even if the Machihans are well prepared, it will be difficult to contain the offensive of the imperial army. , but the attack from here progresses slowly. This will leave ample time for the Machi Khans to respond. The Machi Khans may even abandon the western region of Ronisia and concentrate their heavy troops in the central part of the country. In the central part of the country, the dangerous passes are relatively concentrated, and most of the mountains run north-south. People can concentrate their efforts in this area for defense. The war may become stalemate and stalemate, which is undoubtedly something the empire does not want to see.
The second place is northern Ronisia, which is the most unfavorable area for the empire. The majestic and dangerous pass is firmly held by the Machikhans. Even if the Second Army wants to make a breakthrough here, it will be very difficult. It was a no-brainer to choose this place; the third place was the northern part of Yue Jing. From the east of Sanjiang, one could directly penetrate to the southeast into the hinterland of Yue Jing. It should be said that this was the most suitable place to launch a surprise attack based on its geographical location. It is possible to cut the Yue Jing in half in one fell swoop, separating the entire Ronisia and half of the Yue Jing capital from the mainland of Maci Khan. However, the disadvantage is equally obvious. The Yue Jing plain is flat. Although a surprise attack from here can achieve miraculous results, it is also It is also possible to face a counterattack by the powerful cavalry force of the Machikhans. Without sufficient cavalry force to support them, they may rely solely on the army infantry to carry out assaults. Once they are counterattacked by the opponent's cavalry. That was quite dangerous, and there was even a risk of the entire army being destroyed.
Liang Chongxin has been pondering the terrain of Ronisia and Yuejing for a long time, but has never thought of a better solution. The plan to attack from northern Ronisia was first abandoned, leaving only a raid on Yuejing and western Ronisia. There are two plans for implementing a comprehensive breakthrough. One is to progress quickly and can give full play to the effectiveness of the assault, but may be counterattacked by the powerful cavalry force of the Machikhans. The other is to attack steadily and advance step by step. Unexpectedly, there will be a failure, but the progress is relatively slow. It is slow and easy to form a stalemate, which can be said to have insurmountable disadvantages. But time waits for no one. When Liang Chongxin arrived in Jiangchuan City, the capital of Sanjiang, several other regiment commanders who had received secret orders also arrived in Jiangchuan. The Southern Military Region Headquarters was temporarily located in Jiangchuan City.
Mu Haoran, the governor of Sanjiang, obviously did not expect to meet so many military generals at Liang Chongxin's residence. He was stunned for a moment and immediately realized something. There has been news in the imperial capital that the empire's military expansion should be Targeting the Northern Liberian Military Alliance, however, he saw several corps commanders who had been awarded the rank of brigadier general in Jiangzhou City, including Song Tianxiong, commander of the first corps, He Lianbo, commander of the second corps, and He Lianbo, commander of the third corps. The commander of the legion, Long Zizi, the commander of the sixth legion, She Nei, and the commander of the Tiger Guard legion, Huangfu Tiancheng.
Liang Chongxin had no intention of hiding it from Mu Haoran, who was the top administrator of Sanjiang. In fact, with the relocation of the Second Army, the Third Army, and the First Army, the secret could not be kept for long, and the empire's mainland counties closest to Ronisia and Yuejing Province, Sanjiang will also become the largest logistics supply center in this war. Materials from the east and north will be continuously transported here. Wherever the logistics supplies for the nearly 600,000 troops are placed, it will be a big trouble. Like It is obvious that these areas in Zhongnan County cannot afford it.
After Liang Chongxin introduced the situation frankly and briefly, Mu Haoran understood the intention of this top general in the military. Although the supply of the 600,000-strong army was guaranteed by the military logistics department, without local administration The full cooperation of the departments will inevitably encounter a lot of troubles. Although the local government should give full support due to reasons, there are some differences between the local government and the military. If you want to be able to do what you want, of course you need the support of a county governor.
After seeing off Mu Haoran, only the generals within the military were left in the living room. The Second Army had already moved from Wuhu to Sanjiang, while the Third Army was quickly heading south by boat along the Wuhu River. The Southwest First Army had just received the order, and part of it had just begun to embark from Western Samoa, while the other part was returning overland via Balia. The anticipation for this war caused several legion commanders to abandon their troops and rush to Jiangchuan first. Maybe if they were left behind, those who had the chance to go to the battlefield would also be left behind. No one wanted to end up like this.
"Tianxiong, when will your troops arrive?" Liang Chongxin casually greeted the generals who were chatting. To be honest, he had always hoped that Qu Bo could succeed him as the commander of the first army, but he did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would not Accepting his own opinion, he transferred Song Tianxiong to be the commander of the First Army Corps, and asked Long to take over as the commander of the Third Army Corps. It was not until this last reorganization that Qu Bo finally got the position of a Legion Commander. However, he has no prejudice against Song Tianxiong. He is a general who can fight tough battles and fight hard. He has been like this since he was the commander of the Guards Division at that time. He will not lose the prestige of the First Army when he leads the First Army.
"The first division went to sea by boat, and the other four divisions came by land. It is estimated that it will take ten days to enter the predetermined position." Song Tianxiong stopped talking and replied.
"Helian, on your own, how is the progress of the second and third armies?" Liang Chongxin sat in the commander's position and waved for the generals to take their seats.
"Our Second Army is coming quickly. It is estimated that we will be able to enter Sanjiang in two or three days. Boss Liang, we cannot leave our Second Army idle if we come so quickly. My men are almost going crazy. This time it will be difficult." You must not let us be bystanders anymore." Helianbo said bitterly. When he was transferred back to the empire from the Central Continent, he encountered the Central Continent and started a war. This made Helianbo beat his chest and stamp his feet. After staying in the Central Continent for so long, he was stunned. It's because they didn't get a decent battle to fight. As soon as they left, the Central Continent started a unified war. Isn't this deliberately tormenting people
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't be able to be a bystander this time, because your Second Legion won't be able to eat it." Liang Chongxin responded angrily.
"What? Can't eat it? Boss Liang, you are biased against our Second Army. This is an insult to our Second Army! This time, Boss Liang, if you don't hand over the most difficult task to us, then you will It’s not interesting enough. Let’s see if our Second Army is living up to its reputation. The mountainous Ronisia to the west of Machikhan is a good stage for our Second Army to perform. Even his First Army does not dare to do this. Compared with our Second Army, I dare to boast about this!" He Lianbo grinned widely.
"Hmph, you have to walk it to find out whether it is a mule or a horse. There is no point in talking nonsense now." Liang Chongxin deliberately teased the other party.
"Boss Liang, don't provoke the generals. There is no need to provoke the generals. Our Second Army will go all out. Don't worry, I have wanted to teach those bastards like Machihan a lesson, lest they become too arrogant and really think that Boss Tian is , they are the second child." Helianbo's cigar began to emit bursts of thick smoke again, making his teeth black and yellow and looking a bit rough, and the khaki robe covering his body looked a bit rustic, but no one dared to underestimate it. To see him. He seemed to have seen through Liang Chongxin's intentions. He was experienced in accidents and would not be angered by the other party's words.
