The solar system is broken

Chapter 159 New Year's Offensive

Tianzhen?

Chrissy was a little unsure, the 112th Regiment did not pursue him at all, and the situation there was still unclear.

However, Chrissy is not worried, "The location of Tianzhen will only be threatening unless there are tens of thousands of people."

The 121st Regiment is stationed in Youzhou for training, the 112th Regiment is resting in Hequ Industrial Zone, and the 122nd Regiment is even in Hequ.

If the merchant army wanted to cut off the narrow strip of river meander, it would definitely not be possible without a firearms force of tens of thousands of people.

Besides, the transfer of ten thousand people is not that easy. It is basically impossible to move quietly.

Said Liu in the village lost the small flying stick in his hand, "Now I am worried about another problem, the Zhou people in the west."

The Zhou people came out of Dongshan, captured Xibei, and then marched north.

In this way, the entire rear wing of the 111th Regiment fell into the hands of the Zhou people.

"Then knock him out," Chrissy walked to the sand table.

Although the two empires of Shang and Zhou were said to be feuding, in the face of life and death, it might be possible for the two to join forces.

"The Y2 plane recently flew over the river on the western front and found many marching remains. The number of Zhou's troops is unknown," Krissy pointed to the place where the mountains gathered.

This area is densely forested, which makes detection by reconnaissance aircraft quite difficult.

"No matter how many there are, as long as we capture Dongshan," said Willow above the village, he stretched out his right hand, held it tightly, and hovered over the landmark of Dongshan, "Look down from a high position and look west to frighten the valley plains to the west, and look north to see the direction of victory.

, to prevent the enemy from taking a detour through the meander of the river."

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

The entire west map is an impact plain, extending from Chaoge, the economic center, to Qishan Mountain. It is an east-west plain belt, cut off by Dongshan Mountain in the middle, but the north and south directions are not completely blocked.

Keeping Dongshan under control meant locking up the Zhou people in Qishan directly in the Weishui River Valley.

If you want to come out to harass the meander, you must climb over the plateau and go in the direction of Gongcheng.

Not to mention whether it is feasible or not, the limited transport capacity is enough for the people of Zhou Dynasty.

If a group of people crossed the plateau, the yellow flowers would be cold.

For the Youzhou Army, it was simply perfect.

"Of course I know this." Chrissy nodded, "But..."

Clichy also has difficulties, Mengcheng has to defend.

If the troops are divided and the number is too small, the light infantry wandering around Yuli will not be able to take it, so how can we talk about taking Dongshan.

"In this way," Chrissy did not hesitate and immediately thought of a solution, "The 113th Regiment will move from Hequ to Fangxue City, and the 114th Regiment will leave immediately. No matter what the plane is, they will take the railway to Hequ."

"Three days later, the 113th Regiment moved southward in Huicheng to take over the defense of Mengcheng. The 114th Regiment then entered Huicheng and waited for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the Yuli area."

This completes the mobile defense change.

Chrissy also has another benefit.

Mengcheng's 111th Regiment attacked Xibi. If the main force of the merchant army couldn't help but want to retake Mengcheng, they would definitely run into the 113th Regiment that came to take over the defense.

It's simple and crude to lure a snake out of its hole with one move.

However, Krissy felt that there was no way it would work. After all, judging from the previous two battles, the enemy commander was still very cautious and not a mediocre person.

"I call it the winter offensive, and let the boys go home before the Lantern Festival."

"Maybe," shrugged Muranagi, who was not too optimistic about the idea of ​​war.

In fact, from the beginning of the war to now, Youzhou's combat effectiveness is really worrying.

His plan is, in one word, fast.

Simply and roughly penetrate the enemy, and then crush them with the help of weapons.

"Then send a report to the military headquarters."

You still need to remind Toji about this kind of thing, otherwise it will be nonsense if the logistics is not good enough.

"Okay~"

This incident did not cause much commotion, mainly because the tremors within the city-state had not stopped yet.

So such a big deal was decided directly by one person.

Two days later, the entire operation was launched in a depth area spanning 200km.

Krisch's headquarters moved to Huicheng, separated from the 111th Reinforcement Regiment, and used Huicheng as the temporary headquarters of the 12th Brigade.

The village is above Liuzhou, heading north, and approaching Biqiu City in the west.

But they encountered a problem, it rained heavily.

There is no decent direct road from Mengcheng to Qiucheng in the west.

The only major road is to the east of Chaoge, and this road is still under the control of the merchant army.

You can only take a small east path from the village above Liu, and then take the zigzag path to Qiucheng.

However, as a result, the heavy rain caused the rivers to overflow in many places, causing the entire army to move as fast as a turtle.

Just in case, one battalion of troops was pulled out from the village above Liuzhou, and another battalion of troops was swept westward along the hilly line to the west.

The large army in the middle slowly marched all the way to Dongshan on the muddy road.

Heavy rain continued for three consecutive days. The heavy rain in these days caused the 111th Regiment's daily marching speed to be less than 30 kilometers.

But you still can't stop, the danger of stopping is even greater.

On the trail, there were constant landslides, and the engineer company was no longer enough.

This kind of loess is extremely sticky after being moistened, and even an ordinary person can't move it with a shovel.

This kind of landslide is not just a collapse, but also a collapse.

Some road sections were built halfway up hills, and the roadbed collapsed, leaving the engineering company stunned.

It doesn't matter if people leave, but heavy weapons like cannons can't be afforded at all.

While walking and walking, Liu sat on the truck above the village, his hair was scratched bald.

When we reached a small river valley, the people under our hands no longer wanted to leave.

The 2,000 people of the 111th Regiment stayed at a small location in Yufeng for a day.

Murakami looked at the raindrops outside the military tent. He was a little worried. He didn't know how long such heavy rain would last.

Murakami sent a telegram to Chrissy about his stay.

Chrissy didn't say anything, he just told Murakami to be careful.

Fortunately, the heavy rain stopped the next day, but Murakami's mood did not improve.

The reason is simple, this kind of sticky loess is too difficult to deal with.

But there is no time to rush, the road is narrow and only a few people can be put in to repair it.

It took half a day for Murakami's vanguard to get out of this hilly area and officially enter the vast plains.

Gathering the team at the foot of Liugong Mountain, Murakami looked at these mud-legged people and was speechless.

Fortunately, the next step is a plain with no more dangers.

I'm in a good mood.

It was already two days before New Year's Eve.

...

During this time when Murakami was worried, the commander-in-chief of the merchant army was in a very beautiful mood.

He found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A fighter plane that had been ignored by two people, Haocheng.

As mentioned before, Mengcheng and Haocheng are the gateways to Chaoge. For Chaoge, this is a barrier.

After Krissy occupied Mengcheng, he did not take over the empty Haocheng. This was a demilitarized zone.

At first, the spies reported that Mengcheng's army was heading north. Zilan still didn't believe it, but after repeated confirmation, it was indeed retreating.

Zilan's mind started to get excited. He didn't know what it meant for the Youzhou Army to go north. One thing he was sure of was that it was definitely not a signal for a truce.

After further investigation, the spies found this army in the hills to the northwest.

Zilan, a veteran on the battlefield, saw through the enemy's strategic intention at a glance and wanted to go to Qiucheng.

"Are we going to attack the Zhou people?" Zilan looked at the sand table and became confused.

"Shuai Lan, the Zhou people are in the northwest. I'm afraid the people in the north feel that there is danger in the way back, so..." Xin Gen thought for a moment and made a simple judgment.

From the perspective of commanders, the Shang Empire is an all-star lineup, and any one of them can defeat the generals of the Youzhou Army.

However, some strength gaps cannot be made up by tactics.

"Where is our wilderness?" Panlan asked suddenly while looking at the sand.

After Yuanye's raid on Hequ, the entire army disappeared.

"I was in Xudi 4 days ago, I guess I'm already in Huaidi."

The battle in Yuanye was fought very beautifully. After completing two major strategic tasks, he escaped unscathed.

The purpose of this army is to destroy the industrial area in the meander of the river and contain the enemy.

At the cost of 2,000 casualties, they replaced the 400 people on the opposite side.

Regardless of the battle loss ratio of 5:1, this is already a huge result.

And the vast majority of the two thousand personnel were indirect combatants. The main force of two thousand troops basically lost less than 500.

The most important thing was the seizure. They obtained about 300 rifles and hundreds of boxes of ammunition in the Hequ Industrial Zone.

This can basically arm two companies for a low-intensity battle.

"Huai Di?" Zi Lan pulled the hanging map.

"I remember that the enemy seemed to have driven a team of 1,000 people from the direction of Huicheng."

What I’m talking about here is naturally Clichy’s follow-up troops.

"Yes, my subordinates guess that their goal is to come to defend Mengcheng."

This is actually not difficult to see. It is not that the Shang army does not want to capture Chaoge. It is because the number of troops is too small and it is too dangerous to advance.

Since they want to capture Chaoge, the enemy will definitely garrison Mengcheng, which means the probability of changing defenses is the highest.

"Let the troops from Yuanye and the north cooperate to attack the Yuli area together."

"North?" I was surprised, "could it be the previous attacks..."

"Yes," he nodded, which was like thunder in the eyes of this great historian.

The war began in mutual calculation.

Chrissy was in Huicheng and received two news five days before New Year's Eve. The first news was that there was no news from the direction of Mengcheng.

The second news was that two battalions of the 113th Regiment arrived in Huicheng.

Krissy asked the 3rd battalion to stay in Huicheng to protect the headquarters. The other 2nd battalion immediately set off to Mengcheng to take over the defense. Before departure, he gave numerous warnings to the battalion commander not to rush in. The journey must be completed in 5 days.

This was actually due to the fear that the soldiers of this battalion would stand out too much and be attacked by the enemy.

Three days to walk 100 miles? Not too slow.

But the second battalion commander of the 113th Regiment, who had a large truck as his transportation capacity, had a normal day at the beginning. He only walked 20 kilometers and set up camp in the wilderness.

The weather in December made the recruits freeze to death, and the next day they all clamored to quickly build a settlement to rest.

The only decent city along the way was Yuli. The second battalion commander thought that he could only march 40 kilometers. It didn't matter. At worst, he would move slowly in the next few days. There were no enemies, so he agreed to speed up the next day.

On the way.

When in the evening, Chrissy received in Hucheng that the battalion had arrived at Yuli, he became very angry.

Take the plunge!

Chrissy dropped the cup.

Then the second battalion commander was set on fire.

One cavalry and one light infantry, numbering 3,000 men, caught the second battalion commander by surprise at night.

Over 300 people were killed. Three company-level cadres and two were shot dead. The battalion commander was injured and was immediately disabled.

The second battalion commander stayed at Yuli and waited until dawn before bombers from the direction of Huicheng dispersed the two armies.

A battalion was scrapped in the first battle, and a piece of meat was cut off from the 113th regiment at the beginning.

Then the second battalion commander didn't say hello, and led the remaining soldiers to attack 60 miles, and ran back to the hired city in one day.

The angry Krissy ordered the second battalion commander to be shot on the spot.

Chrissy shouted shame in the office, and all the officers in the headquarters bowed their heads and remained silent. They were so incompetent.
