With Wang Shuo's drumming, that earth-shattering play, if you don't put it on the head of the Qing army, will it still be kept in vain I heard that the military industrial base has been stepping up the production of this play, and in three months, forty cannons and a thousand shells will be produced.Then don't be idle, hurry up around the artillery, formulate an offensive plan, and the decision-making standing committee members gathered at the Xi'an base camp and began to discuss the strategic plan.First of all, Chief of Staff Song Xiance stated the latest strategic situation of the enemy and us.He walked to the map of the situation in the Xubang area that had just been drawn on the wall of the hall, picked up a long wooden pole, pointed to the map and said, "Let's look at the main battlefield of Xubang first."
At present, Dolgon has returned to Beijing, and the command of the battlefield has been handed over to Bolo, the adjutant generals Sonny and Sukh Saha, and the marching general Hong Chengchou.Its base camp is in Xuzhou.Around the direction of Xuzhou, set up four camps to the east, from north to south, respectively, Dingcao camp, Fengpei camp, Mangdang camp, Huaibei camp, each battalion is about 40,000 to 50,000 horses.Boluo still has 50,000 Chinese troops in Xuzhou, a total of 250,000 troops, plus baggage and labor, it is estimated that there are more than 300,000 people.Dingcao Daying, respectively, along Dingtao, Cao County, Shanxian set up defense lines.The Mangdang camp set up a defensive line along Mangdang Eryi and Shanxian County.The Fengpei camp is in the middle to receive the two camps of Dingcao and Mangdan, and the junction is in the south of Shanxian County.Huaibei camp with Yongcheng, Suzhou, Huaibei as the center, guarding Xuzhou, echoing Xuzhou.On the whole, the Qing army can be divided into two parts.Dingcao Daying, Fengpei Daying, and Mangdang Daying are the north, and the command center is in Fengxian County, with Sony and Suke Saha in the town, backed by Weishan Lake, to prevent me from advancing to Weishan Lake and attacking Xuzhou from the north.To the south, the Huaibei camp and the Xuzhou base camp are connected by the southwest hills, and are commanded by Bo Luo and Hong Chengchou in Xuzhou.The headquarters of our army is in Shangqiu, and the enemy army has formed an encirclement of Shangqiu.On the whole, it is a big "product" with Xuzhou as the head, and the northern and southern fronts are two "product" bottoms.Look at them separately, the north side is a small "product" word, Dingcao, Mangdang two camps are the bottom of the word "product", abundant as the head.In the south, Huaibei, Yongcheng, and Suzhou form a "product" character, relying on the hills behind it, threatening Shangqiu.Specific analysis, the Qing army arranged the intention, defending in the north and attacking in the south, trying to drive me away from Shangqiu.It is both offensive and defensive, and it can be described as flawless.Unless there is a big killer, our army will not be able to gain an advantage.This is also the reason why the Standing Committee did not agree to launch an offensive against the enemy.However, our general has drummed up the weapons of mass destruction, which greatly increases the possibility of us gaining local superiority, and it should be the time to launch a counterattack.Let's look at the layout of our army.With Xiayi as the center, our army stationed a musket corps, a cavalry corps, and an infantry corps, totaling 50,000 horses, to defend against enemy attacks from the south.In the north, with the Qingqi set between Cao County and Shan County as the center, our army has a musket army, a cavalry army, and two infantry armies, totaling 70,000 horses, to defend Cao County and Shanxian County, threatening Chengwu.In addition, our army also has a cavalry corps, an infantry corps of 40,000 horses, to defend the line from the north of Shangqiu to the Yellow River to prevent the enemy from breaking west into the flank of our army.This is the main battlefield, which is basically in a state of stalemate, and no one can help anyone.In the Dabie Mountain battlefield in the south, due to Luo Luohui leading 200,000 Manchu and Han coalition troops to join, our army fell into passivity.To the south of Dabie Mountain, Bai Wang's Xiangyang Corps was blocked in the Yunmeng Mountains.To the north of Dabie Mountain, Li Da's Henan Corps, which lost Xinyang, Luoshan, Xixian, and Xincai, suffered a fiasco and was squeezed on the line of Zhengyang, Runan, and Queshan, and Runan was in a precarious position.In order to solve the crisis in the south, our Musket Third Army rushed to the aid of Runan.Today, the battle line is stable between Pingyu and Runan, and no one can win.On the battlefield in northern Shaanxi, Dolgon gradually increased his troops, with the intention of using this as a breakthrough to force our army to return to Shaanxi.In order to alleviate the pressure in northern Shaanxi, our Fourth Army of muskets supported northern Shaanxi, which was also a draw.On the battlefields to the south and north, our army was limited in numbers and could not achieve a big advantage and break through in one fell swoop.There is only the main battlefield in the east, and it seems that there is still an article to do.At present, the suppression of bandits in Shaanxi and Henan has come to an end, and Xin Sizhong's Longzhong Corps has gradually become idle.Is it possible to consider transferring Xin Sizhong's Longzhong Corps, which is stationed on the defense line of the Yellow River in Tongguan, to the east, join the main battlefield, increase the strength of the main battlefield, look for the enemy's flaws, and strive to open a breakthrough?
As long as Xuzhou is occupied, the Qing army in the south He Luohui and Luo Luohui will not be able to gain a foothold in the south, and will definitely be forced to retreat north, so that all the battlefields will be active, and the whole situation will be powerful against us.When the enemy army is forced to retreat, the strategic intention of our army's major forces to follow up and converge and drive the Qing army north of the Yellow River will be realized. ”Speaking of this, Wang Ping interjected: "If General Xin Sizhong moves eastward, the defense line of the Yellow River in Henan will be empty.If Shanxi Azig breaks through the Yellow River, the main force of our army will be attacked by the enemy, which is too dangerous. ”Liang Min said: "You can consider transferring General Dang Shousu's Xining Corps to the front line defense of Tongguan."
In Xining, we get along well with the Tibetan people and Gushi Khan, and the tea and horse market has completely solved their living needs, and there will be no threat of border trouble for the time being, and only the security army can be stationed. ”Song Xiance said with a smile: "What Madame said is extremely true, and Song is also considering. ”Then, the next step is to consider how to break the deadlock on the main battlefield after Xin Sizhong's Longzhong Corps joins, and the army has turned to the offensive.Li Yan's meaning is still to consider increasing the number of troops in the central part of the country, and strive to break through the enemy's relatively weak defense, or to break through the single-county junction, and first solve the defense of the "product" character in the north of the Qing army and occupy Fengpei.In this way, our army is surrounded by Weishan Lake in the east and the main offensive line in the west, and the threat on both flanks can be removed.Then, concentrate the forces and go south along Weishan Lake, directly under the city of Xuzhou.Although it is safe to do this, the enemy's north side is already on the defensive, and it must be fully prepared to guard against our attack.Our army is attacking head-on, although with the help of new artillery, we are not afraid that the enemy will defend the city, but it will definitely become a stronghold, and the casualties will be not small.Wang Shuo felt that this was a bit more than worth the loss.The new cannons are quite limited, both in terms of the number of cannons and the number of shells.In order to avoid casualties along the way, I don't know how many shells will be consumed.I'm afraid that when it hits the city of Xuzhou, the shells have already been gone, and the next thing to face is Xuzhou Jiancheng.In case the attack is thwarted and the army is trapped under the city, it will enter into a war of attrition with the Qing army.He did not express his position on Li Yan's strategy.Song Xiance was thinking with his eyes closed, and he didn't seem to approve of this kind of dismissal.In fact, since the day the new cannon was developed, Wang Shuo has been thinking about how to give full play to the power of his new cannon, and at this moment, he already has a plan in mind
