"Wenxiu, what are you going to do?" Mulig saw Cui Wenxiu's face gradually becoming resolute. He knew that his colleague must have made a decision in his heart. The calmer his tone, the greater his determination. .
"Look, the Liberians have clearly deployed three attack groups. On the eastern front, there should be a coalition of Puer and Dodon people. They have the strongest strength. It is estimated that there will be more than 550,000 people. I speculate that they may There are three attack points. The first one is to attack from the junction of Okhotsk and Yanshan. The terrain in this area is relatively complex, but it is a mixture of flat land and shallow hills. Cavalry and infantry can easily pass through, and there are no dangerous points to defend. They can directly To attack at Yanshanfu City, you can also bypass Yanshanfu and go straight to Laizhou; the second attack point may be to attack from between Yanshan and Yunzhong. The terrain here is flat and there are few rivers, which is suitable for large-scale battles, especially Liboia. With the use of heavy cavalry, if we don't want to engage in a head-on battle, they can even advance directly to the foot of Beiping City; the third point of attack is to go south from the western border of Yunzhong. The terrain along this route is similar to that of the second point, but the conditions are better. Going south from the border between Yunzhong and Yulin, there is almost a flat river. The cities on both sides are far apart. This is almost an empty corridor. From here, you can go straight to the outskirts of the imperial capital. If the Liberians want to create a sensation and shake the hearts of the people of the empire, this One path is the best choice.”
Cui Wenxiu also knew that he needed to explain his thoughts clearly to his deputy. This was a battle related to the survival of the empire. The honor and disgrace of everyone had been put second. How to win this battle with minimal losses was the key. At present, the forces in hand are obviously unable to cope with the enemy's posture, and they must abandon one or even two lines. Only in this way can they concentrate their forces to annihilate the enemy, use the empire's strong strength to bring down the opponent, and achieve final victory.
"Wenxiu's view is that the enemy forces on the eastern front will use the third attack point? But the third attack point goes deep into the hinterland, and the Imperial Central Intelligence Agency has reported that the Japanese army has assembled on a large scale in the Cook Islands and Ryukyu Islands. There is a landing. The purpose of the operation is that the third attack line is inland, and it is not easy to coordinate with the Japanese army, so this is somewhat doubtful. I wonder what you think, Wenxiu?" Mulig frowned.
"Well, this is also somewhat contradictory. If the information reported by the intelligence department is absolutely accurate and the Japanese really have the intention of landing, then I still prefer that the Puer and Dodon people will choose the first line of attack. As long as they pull out Yanshan, they can go deep south. To the outskirts of Jeju and Zhongzhou, forcing the imperial capital, especially if the Japanese land to fight, they must have a surprise wish. Although it is wishful thinking, it can also have some shocking effect. Of course, if the Japanese are just bluffing, then the third line of attack is the most direct The most efficient line.”
Cui Wenxiu is not a willful person, and he agrees with Mulige's opinions, but he has some doubts about whether the Japanese would take such a big risk and spend such a large amount of money with their style of specializing in self-interest and not harming others. Come to conduct a landing operation that will lead to no return if it fails? Could it be a superficial effort to encourage the Liberian allies to attack with all their might, or to cheer up the Liberian allies
"Wenxiu, I'm afraid that the Japanese have spent a lot of money this time. It's not a bluff. Tachihara Shankawa is not a fool. Although the empire is not paying attention to him at the moment, he should know that once the Liberians are finished, their ending will be the same. It is doomed. In fact, they and even the Maci Khans know that they are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one can escape. When they are prosperous, they are all destroyed. So why do the Maci Khans work so hard in the south? To hold back Liang Chongxin's Southern Army, they even mobilized the whole country. In the Nanyang Alliance, the empire has done more in-depth preliminary work, and there are some short-sighted guys. Otherwise, if the Nanyang Alliance also works together to form a If Riot joins this big alliance, the situation of the empire in the south will probably get even worse." Mulige also has his own opinions, and he is not a blind follower.
"Well, if that's the case, the east attack group is the most dangerous. Even if the Japanese land with only 100,000 troops, we will face considerable difficulties. With the combined forces of the Puerians and the Dotons, at least there will be more than 100,000 troops. With 600,000 troops, our troops deployed in this area are less than one-third of the opponent's troops. Although the combat effectiveness of the Doton and Japanese armies is questionable, the Poole Army has always been strong, and as you said, this is the one that determines the fate of both sides. Fighting, I'm afraid that in a desperate situation, Kim Zhengyang's Ninth Army Corps will not be able to withstand it even if it is added to the Thirteenth Army Corps." Cui Wenxiu seemed to have a few more wrinkles on his forehead.
"Well, maybe we really have to give up something, but we will have to bear greater pressure. The blame of the people of the empire may only be borne by the two of us, especially you, Wenxiu." Mulige has realized that Cui Wenxiu's idea is that this is a difficult choice. Although he knows that if he wants to cover everything, he may not be able to take care of any one thing, but if he gives up directly, he will definitely bear the scorn of the people.
"Humph, let me bear the responsibility for the infamy. I, Cui Wenxiu, was not a good person in the eyes of the people. From Northern Luzon to the Western Regions, from Tengger to India, I was originally a foreign enemy. Now, They have all become the territory of the empire, and this infamy has also been brought to the empire. It’s just that the infamy was originally from other ethnic groups, but now it’s just the Tang people.” Cui Wenxiu curled her lips indifferently, “One general will make thousands of bones dry up, this battle Victory will also result in thousands of bones drying up and eternal infamy."
"What do you plan to do with the central and western clusters?" Mulige has noticed that Cui Wenxiu may intend to abandon the western and central lines. Although the number of troops there is not as good as that of the eastern front, the Kaman Army and the Kaman Army are stronger and more tenacious in combat effectiveness. The Sisluo army, with unified orders, may have more obvious advantages in this regard once it enters a war. Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak is also the best strategy for military strategists.
"Let's take a look. The Kaman people are definitely in charge of the middle line cluster, but Taixuan in the northwest county is blocked by the Zagros Mountains and Jiayuguan. I think the Kaman people will definitely focus on Jerok. Jiama and Fanlin are also Kaman people. They were very familiar with this area, and they had ruled it for a period of time, and they also had some hidden strength. Now the fifth legion's focus is also on Fanlin and Jiama, just to withstand Kaman's dozens of The attack of Wan Dajun is not realistic. It would be much easier to handle if there is another legion. Fortunately, there are still a few ranger regiments that can support them. The Privy Council also sent their Thunder Thunder troops and Fire Gun soldiers to the side. Assigned to us, I plan to let Hongtianlei troops strengthen defenses in these two places to avoid losing these two places prematurely and try to delay them as long as possible."
Cui Wenxiu's tone was calm, but she couldn't hide her sadness. It is almost impossible to defend Fanlin's armor. Since he has made up his mind to abandon the center line, the most he can do is put more effort on defense and delay for more time. However, it is not that easy to delay time. Although the defense systems of Lin and Jiama have been rebuilt and improved, since they are determined to sacrifice these two cities, it is impossible to invest too many regular troops in these two cities. One city and one division is already the limit, and it is necessary to block several cities. The one hundred thousand fierce Kaman army could only sacrifice these two divisions and the people of the two cities if they stalled for time.
Mulige also felt a little pain in his heart. The Fifth Army was also considered the backbone of God's army. It was originally built for defense and was known as the rock. However, it was impossible to survive in the face of several times or even ten times the number of enemy forces. There is no turning back, but you have to go. How difficult is this choice
"The situation in the northwest is similar. Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan Fucheng will probably become the most brutal battlefields. In the past two years, the Sisluo people have been recuperating and their strength has faintly surpassed the Kaman people. And this time Lieber The alliance of demi-humans is also led by the Sisluans, which means they are bound to win this battle. Although there are harassments from the Boyin and Luobi Rangers from the north and west, they probably can only play a diversionary role. Cutting off the connection between the Empire and the Central Continent to the west, and then marching eastward to join forces with the Kaman people and approaching the imperial capital should be their goal. Once the Sisluo and Kaman people really merge, I am afraid that this battle will It is somewhat difficult to reverse. Even if we win on the Eastern Front, our vitality will be severely damaged. It is not something that can be done in a short time to completely eliminate Kaman and Heathrow. At the very least, the empire will no longer be able to control it. In the Central Continent, whether it is the Luobi people, the Hansen Alliance, or even the Luzon and West Oran people, they will challenge the empire's rule in the Central Continent, and the results we have worked so hard to achieve may be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Cui Wenxiu's voice was low, and he was obviously not optimistic about the current situation. If he wanted to ensure that the war proceeds according to his plan, he must seal the Heathrow people in the northwest county and not allow the Heathrow people to advance eastward, even if they are lost. The entire Western Region or Northern Luzon is not hesitated. As long as this battle can be won, everything can be taken back. However, if the Sisluo and Kaman people join forces and advance eastward, Guanxi, Beiyuan, and Heshuo will be completely empty. Unable to resist, if these places fall, Cui Wenxiu cannot predict how the situation will develop.
"Then Wenxiu, what are you going to do?" Mulig frowned and asked. What Cui Wenxiu said was not alarmist, but it was very likely that it would develop to this point. The Twelfth Army was currently responsible for defending the northwest. Although its strength was good, all the It is obviously a lie to say that it can withstand the impact of the Heathrow troops of up to 500,000 troops.
