Looking with some detachment at the busy scene of the Western Xinjiang Jerok Front Army headquarters in Merlington City, Wu Feng found that he seemed to be more like a bystander at this time, watching the entry and exit of the staff room, intelligence room and combat training room. Among the officials, Wu Feng, who had been standing in the darkness, couldn't help but smacked his lips. It seemed that Bo Jinchen was really a talent. He had adapted to the combat mode of Western Xinjiang so quickly. The faces of the officers and staff who came and went. They all looked solemn and solemn, and they walked with wind and rain, full of energy.
Ever since Ling Tian established the Joint Military Staff Conference by combining the Eastern and Western Continent's military management models, he gradually introduced the Western Continent's large-corps combat model into the Western Xinjiang Army. The intelligence department obtained the information and compiled it. Put forward opinions and views, and then hand them over to the staff department for analysis and deduction, come up with operational plans, and finally make the decision by the decision-makers. This has become a common mode of operations above the division level. Of course, the further down, the role played by the military chief officer will be larger, and this model is more respected than reaching levels above the legion.
With the massive promotion and improvement of snow pigeons, pigeon stations have been established in many important cities and traffic passes to maximize the function of quickly transmitting information. The science and technology department is still making improvements to see if the new and improved snow pigeons can be used. Pigeons were used by marching armies to deliver messages more quickly.
At this time, there was a lively discussion in the war room. The sand table built to imitate the Western Xinjiang War Room was not nearly as detailed as the sand table in the Western Xinjiang War Room, especially when it came to the geographical terrain of the Jerok and Beiyuan areas. The standards are even a little more detailed. Bo Jinchen stared at the sand table with burning eyes, while listening carefully to the introduction and analysis of the intelligence staff: "The First Division of the Fifth Army entered Qinghe the day before yesterday, and is estimated to have advanced to 180 miles southwest of Qinghe Fucheng. The Second Division of the Fifth Army is in the Xiangjialing area, about 160 miles due west of Qinghe Fucheng. The Third Division is progressing the fastest and has already approached a distance of 100 miles northwest of Fucheng. Fifty miles away in Chicheng, the terrain here is more complicated, and it is estimated that the marching speed will slow down later. The Fourth Division has already moved east along the stream, and is estimated to have arrived near Maojiadu, 120 miles south of Qinghe Fucheng. , in front of them, the two divisions of the Third Army quickly maneuvered through the transportation camp, and have now crossed Huoqiu and arrived at Guzhai, firmly holding this key point and closing the door from Qinghe Prefecture to Cangzhou."
"It seems that the speed of the Fifth Army is not slow. It can barely keep up with the speed of the transport battalion. However, such a high-intensity march may not last long, and it will also have a great impact on the physical strength of the army, which will give Kamapov The general wrote a letter. Now that the encirclement has been completed, he asked him to pay attention to the marching speed of each unit and not to speed up forcibly to avoid excessive physical exertion of the soldiers and affecting the next plan. In addition, where is the current location of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment?" Bo Jinchen Nodding with satisfaction, he motioned to the adjutant to put the flags of each department everywhere so that he could see the situation of all parties more intuitively. He smiled and introduced to the uniformed man who had been standing next to him. From the military rank on his shoulder, he could It can be seen that the military rank of this man in uniform is even one level higher than Bo Jinchen.
"Back to your lord, the Third Cavalry Regiment has been ordered to march eastward. It should have passed Liujiatun now and is about to turn south. It is estimated that it will reach Guzhai and complete the rendezvous with the Third Regiment in two days." The intelligence staff member immediately answered accurately and clearly. .
"Lord Bo, the Fifth Army Corps came here holding their breath. They were originally formed from His Highness's two Guards Divisions, especially the First Division. Song Tianxiong is not simple. His combat effectiveness is second to none of ours. The Western Xinjiang Army is also second to none. Because of this fifth rank, these guys don’t know how many wars of words they have had with Lord Ling, but they always think that they should be number one." The man in military uniform smiled and talked. , but his eyes fell on the sand table motionless, "They probably hope to use this battle to prove that they are the real number one."
"That's right. An army with an unyielding spirit is a combat-effective army. I hope that the Fifth Army can firmly guide this spirit and use it in battle." Bo Jinchen expressed his disapproval of this kind of spirit. I have also heard a little bit about it. The First Division of the Fifth Army has always been different from the First Division of the First Army. However, this division, which was originally called the First Guards Division, suffered huge losses during the Western Expedition. The loss has also affected the division's honor to a certain extent. Therefore, it has been at a disadvantage in competing with the First Division of the First Army for the title of No. 1. This has also made many people in the Fifth Army quite dissatisfied, thinking that Generally speaking, the First Division of the Fifth Army, which was still called the First Guards Division at the time, had the advantage in that battle. Especially the number of enemies killed and wounded in the counterattack was not less than their own losses. This was also their reason. The division is proud of. Bo Jinchen didn't know if there was any other meaning in calling this legion formed by the expansion of the Guards Division the Fifth Legion, but it did arouse the unyielding and enterprising spirit of the entire legion. This may be why it was named in the first place. For the purpose and significance of the Fifth Legion.
The man in military uniform also smiled and shook his head. He was noncommittal, but changed the subject: "Master Bo, how is the gathering situation of the people in Poole? Is there any news?"
"Well, it's not good. The Puer people mobilized very quickly. The 200,000-strong army almost completed the preparations in a few days. It seems that Gomez should have been negotiating with the Puer people a long time ago. I don't know what happened to him. How many wishes have the people of Poole made? Tallinn, the Minister of State in Poole, and Kunbo, who is now in charge of the military power in Poole, are the confidants of Sezerif IX. Kunbo, in particular, is a tough hawk and has always advocated the use of troops southward. In the past few years, he has been responsible for most of the people from Poole moving south, and he will definitely be the commander this time. Our task in this battle is not easy."
A trace of worry flashed across Bo Jinchen's face. He had felt the pressure ever since he received the information that the Puerians and the Kaman people had reached an agreement on sending troops. Although Puer was economically inferior to Kaman, in military terms It is a traditional powerful country. Although the combat effectiveness of its army is slightly lower than that of Kaman, it is still higher than that of Heathrow. Once these 200,000 new troops are put into the battlefield of Beiyuan, the risk of this battle will be increased out of thin air. times. Although the diplomatic department has exerted pressure and persuasion on Pool through various channels, it is obvious that the close relationship between the Kaman and Pool people cannot be replaced by other forces, and Sezerif IX quickly approved Bo Jinchen made a plan to dispatch troops, which was unexpected by Bo Jinchen, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing surprising. After all, the people of Poole were the ones who could best feel the taste of death.
"Then when will it be estimated that it will go south?" The man in uniform chased after him.
"It should be just these few days. No matter from any aspect, the Kaman people cannot afford to delay it. Every time it delays for one more day, they will have to pay a greater price. They should all know it." Bo Jinchen's lips curled up slightly. Sneered, "Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Sezerif has always had the habit of exchanging the bones of his own soldiers for money, but I hope he will not steal the chicken this time. However, judging from the current situation, the people of Poole are now The lack of full-scale intervention shows that Sezerif still has some doubts about intervening in the Northern Plains war. Otherwise, with the strength of the Puer people, it is not impossible to invest an additional 100,000 troops. Gomez, an old thief, has endless tricks to protect the enemy. No way Situ Tai can get in touch with him and contain us."
The worry on Bo Jinchen's face deepened. The intervention of the Puer people has added another layer of variables to this battle. If other factors intervene, the risk of this battle will increase. For the commander We must take these into consideration, otherwise we will lose a lot of confidence and response in times of emergencies.
"Haha, Mr. Bo, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover them. The battlefield is changing rapidly. No one can predict things like God. We can only do our best to think carefully. If the Pu people want to go south, the most convenient way is from the northwest of Yunzhong Cutting in obliquely, we might as well let the 3rd Cavalry Regiment temporarily give up the plan to go south, enter the cloud first, let the people in the cloud provide support, launch an interception battle in the cloud, slow down the speed of Poole's army going south, and use the mobility of the rangers. The ability to suppress the spirit of the people of Poole can also effectively delay the entry of Poole's army into the Beiyuan battlefield, providing us with more time to prepare for the front line defense in Liujiatun." The man in military uniform had been staring at the sand table, and his eyes were even more exposed at this time. Qi Guang said, "The terrain in the cloud is flat. If we can get the cooperation of the local people who are familiar with the terrain, then the rangers can definitely play their role. I wonder what Lord Bo thinks?"
Bo Jinchen's eyes also turned to the sand table following the words of the man in uniform. He was worthy of being the number one military commander in Western Xinjiang. His suggestion was quite creative, to ambush and intercept the enemy on their way. Even if the enemy did not pass there or the plan failed, There is no big loss, and once successful, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Poole people. Although Yunzhong has not yet been included under the jurisdiction of Xijiang, the influx of large amounts of free food support from Xijiang has made it a de facto pro-Xinjiang area in the northern part of the empire. To a certain extent, Li Wufeng's influence in this place is even greater than that of Xinjiang. Zhongnan County and the Nanhai Autonomous Territory, which are included in the areas controlled by the Western Xinjiang regime, are even larger. The newly organized autonomous governments there are also inextricably linked with the Government Affairs Office of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate. If you want to get help from the local people, there is no way. Next words.
