After just a day and a half, through the siding signal tower project and the Danshui transfer station system that had been extended to Lantian Pass, the town was moved to Zhou Huai'an in Xiangyang by the spring ploughing progress of patrolling the Shannan Eastern Road. It also received fresh information from the pass. The first batch of battle reports:
"In the battle of Lishan Mausoleum, the first battle of the third regiment of the fourth battalion of Tuqi broke through the four parts of the lower part of Wenmo in the east, and they were all scattered and could not be chased. Then they merged with the seventeenth cavalry battalion and the sixth regiment of the car camp; So far, the Suzhou Unity and Jiuquan Yicong, the Long Clan Ministry, the Sixth Ministry of East Wenzhong fought defensively until dark, and they all rode out of the battlefield. The enemy was unable to take it and was defeated overnight..."
"On the second day, the battle of Huaqing (Hot Spring) Palace, the third, fourth, and stationed teams of Cheying from Lantian County, relying on the ruins of Miyagi, formed one after another at Wangxianqiao, Wumatai, and Diaoyuan. Destroyed the fourth left of the southern part of Wenmo, the third part of the central part and the Tubo Civil Ministry, and killed five thousand in battle, and obtained more than twenty thousand cattle and horses. However, the follow-up pursuit was blocked by new enemy aid..."
"On the third day, the battle of Laojunfeng went to most of the ninth battalion occupying the waist of Lishan Mountain, and encountered the Qinzhou unity in the east. The fire-throwing team and Feihuo Lei attacked again, burning Laojun's Palace and entrenched the enemy army. In the evening, the resurgent Qinzhou united and was under the command of the Tianxiong Army."
"The enemy has repeatedly failed to fight at night. At dawn, the Huaqing Palace was divided into troops to help. The inside and outside responded to the wavering of the army, and then abandoned their weapons to escape. But then the western end of Wen was approaching, and the battle and retreat..."
"On the fourth day, the battle of the old mother palace, Anxi Uighurs and Ganzhou Uighurs came to aid. The 25th Battalion was temporarily arranged for the eighth battalion and stationed in the riding team, and intercepted at the foot of Xixiuling..."
"The Battle of the Peony Garden..."
"The Battle of Fuya Temple..."
"So, in a hasty, the two sides actually fought a battle of tens of thousands of people in advance? Although the number of battles annihilated so many enemies, the kills were several times the losses; but the mobile force was also all at once. I have used it, but I don’t have enough power to launch an offensive in the city for the time being, and I can only shrink and adjust?"
Zhou Huaian groaned, and smoothly touched Han Jiyue, who was snuggling up to his feet in a soft and obedient manner, and stuck Zhenshou on his thigh to let him play. However, they ignored the background of the other two little waiters, but had to face the painful face of learning to lay the pockets and dwellings; and they used eye waves to project them from time to time. "It's really cunning", "It turned out to be so cunning." It can be like this" and such hidden grievances and other emotions.
In wars, sometimes you can't just look at the specific battle loss ratio of the exchange style, but also look at the many chain reactions after each battle, as well as the subsequent impact on the stalemate between the enemy and the enemy and the power loss during the confrontation. In most cases, Zhou Huaian still believed and respected Cao Shixiong as the leader, and the front-line commanders' judgment on the battlefield and the military qualities of the Taiping soldiers were better.
After all, the later generations like to draw "Ping Rong Wanquan" for the frontline troops and limit the subjective initiative of the generals; or he likes to play the master of micro-management, and he does not hesitate to repeatedly cross the battle zone and the chief officer of the group army, directly to the company and Technical weapons gave orders, such as the "pre-historic perfect man" who suddenly moved the machine gun forward by 50 meters. The corresponding evil consequences and lessons are still present.
At least the military literacy represented by the main force of the Taiping Army is generally higher than the contemporary average level, which can ensure that even if there is a momentary misjudgment and mishandling, there is a high enough lower limit to reach the bottom and preserve vitality. To borrow the words from the strategy game, my units are all high-level troops with bloody, thick skin and strong resilience. No matter how you jump, you can't easily break defenses or dismantle towers.
But once our side has gained momentum and completed its development, the large number of enemy low-level arms may not be able to stop it. In this case, it naturally has more fault tolerance and redundancy than the enemy camp, and the upper limit of long-term protracted warfare. Therefore, as the highest leader at Zhou Huaian's level, all he can do is try to ensure sufficient logistics and stable supply lines.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian withdrew the hand that unknowingly into the placket of his clothes and said with a serious expression:
"Drafting an order for me, it means that I and the Metropolitan Government fully believe in the decision of their frontline generals; the rear has my own strength to maintain without worrying about other things; the battlefield in the Guan is the decisive place for the world to win. But it is not the only breakthrough point for reversal and change; therefore, the lowest bottom line of strategic goals within the pass requires only the ability to effectively mobilize and drag most of the Western Army until the summer."
This is not the result of Zhou Huai'an's hard work and brainstorming, but rather the fact that the Western Army itself is not under each other and makes long positions. Most of the time, each is determined by the chaotic logistics system of the war. Therefore, compared with the war, although it is a heavy logistical pressure and spending money like water, there are five roads, twelve routes and two hundred states to produce and reserve as the Taiping army; to ensure that the waste and waste of the Western army's logistical supplies are greater. More outrageous.
Therefore, based on the specific statistics and overall deduction model provided by the staff, in the case of insufficient supply from the Shu area, it is impossible to maintain by relying solely on the cattle and horses brought from the northwest and the supplements obtained from local plundering. To know how long the battle of such a large army will take; it is very likely that it will fall into famine and predicament before summer.
What's more, once the summer enters, the combination of these Western troops from the dry and bitter northwestern region is equivalent to entering the Taiping Army, which is mostly soldiers in the southern background, and is relatively favorable for the climate and environment. Prior to this, the Western Army, which had a quantitative advantage and was unwilling to wait and die, naturally had a high probability of finding a way to make a crazy counterattack.
On the one hand, it is a double speculation in tactics and strategy, which is to take a risky fight; on the other hand, it is also the most common art of the military and military, which consumes those superfluous under-brand power and excess consumption; As long as you win, you can open up the situation, seize the upper hand and replenish more resources to relieve external worries; and losing just consumes off-brand weapons and eliminates future internal worries.
"I drafted another personal dictation from Cao Zhonglang: It is said that the various ministries of the Western Army are not so much loyal to the imperial court, it is not just a trilogy of loyalty to the generals; it is just that these generals are the name of the old dynasty. I am confused, but also in awe of the personal charm, authority, and methods of Prime Minister Zheng Tian. Only then can I respect and serve him... Therefore, in the overall situation of attacking the Western Army, we can consider a breakthrough from this node, or it will have a miraculous effect..."
"On the other hand, it has been possible to confirm the biggest goal of the Western Army's counter-attack. The Daqi New Dynasty regime basically no longer exists; do all the coalition forces who came to participate in the war still have the lasting motivation and patience to continue fighting as before? The public opinion and rumors in this regard are divided and disintegrated... If you don't want any big results, you can make the Western Army unable to go all out in the next time..."
"As long as it can drag on for an extra day, it counts as one day. As long as it can persist in the pass for long enough, the Western Army will inevitably fall into continued weakness. In the end, it can only continue to actively seek battles and decide the victory or defeat. At that time, the overall initiative of the offensive and defensive war was completely in our hands..."
Then, there was another appendix after the battle report, which caught Zhou Huaian's attention. However, it was in a dry well near Xianyang that the remains of Tuoba Sigong, the former head of the Party Department, and things such as Guanpai Pingsheng were found. In addition, another party chief who was accidentally captured alive during the chaos before, and now the former Yanzhou governor and Quan Dongshan soldier and horse envoy Tuoba Sizhong who has undergone labor reform in the Tongbai Mountain Racecourse.
"Kill Li Yuanhao..." At this moment, Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered several roars of different accents; then it became the theme song of an old TV series in the 1990s, "Helan Snow", "Give me one. The corner of rest".
The next moment he came back to his senses. After more than a hundred years, the founder of Dabai Gaoguo, who was in the northwestern region, stepped on my iron and blood to force the grandfather of Xixia Taizu Li Yuanhao, together with later generations to pass on for more than two hundred. Nian Guo Zuo was accidentally wiped out, along with the party Xiang Tuoba, which was almost wiped out in the Guan's area, because of his great grandfather’s roots
Next, there are some tedious and step-by-step daily affairs reports. For example, guided by the general impression of the distribution of mines from later generations, the Dexing Copper Mine in Xinzhou, Jiangxi Province, where mining difficulty is relatively low, located in the southeast of the newly acquired area, the Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Dangtu, Jiangzhou, and Qixia in Jiangning Mountain weathered manganese ore and shallow lead-zinc-silver ore have been developed one after another.
For the Taiping Army's current consumption and production capacity are steadily increasing, the primary coal-iron and iron-combined military industrial system can be regarded as a promotion relationship without small supplements.
Then, last year, it happened to catch up with the bumper harvest of oil palm planted in the coastal area of Annan, Lingnan Province for many years. Therefore, after a winter of accumulation of production, except for the planned industrial consumption and reproduction allocations, the commodities that maintain the supply and marketing system are removed. There is still a lot of surplus in reserves and the required quotas in the internal circulation system.
Although, some people propose to put this part of the amount on the private market, thinking that it will form a franchise surplus similar to salt and iron. However, Zhou Huaian still gave up this petty profit, and instead approved it to raise the daily edible oil supply standards for the 12 military orders, the seven defense zones, and the Jiansheng Army and the garrison regiment system;
Among them, the main battle force of the Twelfth Army is given half a catty every ten days for combat troops, and a half catty for garrisoned troops; the defense area is for garrisoned two catties for ten days, and a full catty for ten days of camps; the Jiansheng Army is built in accordance with the sequence of engineering and construction. For the armed tuntian sequence, they are given 14 taels and twelve halves every ten days; the garrison regiments in various states and counties are given twelve to fifteen taels each ten days according to the degree of garrison.
This is because Empress Cao has escaped safely and has now been sent to Lantian City for training. When she gets better in the next step, she can go south again. In the next afternoon, Zhou Huaian was already a little eager to bring this good news to his colleagues. Now he is condoning those little ladies of the civil affairs and health departments, Cao Hongyao, to share; and let her unlock a few more interesting ones. Here comes the posture.
