Song Xiance has been with Wang Shuo for all these years, and he has completely understood his character.When GT heard him ask about the benefits of attacking Hetuala, he guessed that Wang Shuo might have thought of a way to capture Hetuala.He couldn't help but light up, and replied to Wang Shuo: "The information provided by Director Luo of the Intelligence Bureau says that the Manchus know that they will not be able to compete with us for a long time, and they are already preparing to return to their hometown, and have transported a large amount of property and supplies back to Hetuala.Once Hetuara is occupied by us, it will be equivalent to the Manchus sending us a cantonment post in the rear.We can use the Manchu supplies and materials to hold on, continue to increase our troops, and finally form a situation of encirclement of Shenyang from its rear.Think about it, our army has hit Shenyang, will these garrison guards in the south of the Manchu Qing Dynasty still be useful, it will inevitably withdraw troops to save its national capital Shenyang, then these guards will not be self-defeating" Wang Shuo suddenly realized, occupying Hetuala, not only to shake the Manchu Qing's will to resist, but more importantly, our army can spare all the guards and go directly to the city of Shenyang, but from the upper reaches of the Yalu River in North Korea to the old city of Hetuala, it is indeed very difficult.In this area of this era, there are basically no people, there are primeval forests everywhere, and this road is high mountains and mountains, there is no road to march at all, can the army go Li Dingguo said: "I have been fighting in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan in the past, and I have become accustomed to mountain battles, leading 20,000 horses to reach Hetuala, there should be no problem." ”Song Xiance continued: "This area is not as cold as the south, and it is ten cold in winter, so I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear the severe cold." ”This is indeed a problem.Wang Shuo knows the weather in the Northeast, and the snow covers the mountains in winter, and the cold is biting.Not to mention the army that is not familiar with the terrain, even the locals, do not dare to go out easily after the heavy snow closes the mountain.It's snow-white everywhere, it's the same everywhere, and you quickly get lost.Once you get lost in this bitter cold, you will freeze to death overnight.However, Wang Shuo had already thought of a solution to the problem.He can use the hot air balloon to show the way to the army.Send out a few more hot air balloons, all the way to the vicinity of Hetuala, more than a thousand miles, hot air balloons can do it.Then the hot air balloons are separated from each other, and people are dropped along the way, so that the ground and the sky are in harmony and a path to Hetuara should be no problem.Then, the army took the sign as the goal of its advance, and the road problem was solved.The problem of cold is not difficult to solve, and he remembered the method of the American army in the Korean War.People are frozen to death, there are no more than two conditions, one is that they can't eat hot meals, the body can't quickly increase heat, the body cools down faster than the food heats up, and finally the human body dies because it can't maintain the living temperature.The U.S. military had kerosene stoves and could eat hot meals, so they couldn't freeze to death.Wang Shuo also has a kerosene stove, and it is more advanced than the Americans.Chen Yuanyuan is in charge of cooking at home, at this time he uses a coal stove, sometimes he cooks with a fire, and his little face is blackened.Wang Shuo was distressed when he saw it, so he asked Wu Langxi to make a smaller heating device for hot air balloons.It's as simple as changing the heating head on the hot air balloon to a modern gas stove.This thing is really easy to use, not much different from modern liquefied gas.But it is easy to use and cannot be promoted, because with the current extraction technology, it is still relatively difficult to obtain oil.The kerosene refined from petroleum can only be used as a military product, and it is not allowed to appear on the market.Wang Shuo made a special deal for Chen Yuanyuan, let Chen Yuanyuan use it secretly, and don't let others know.This time, he used this little invention.He asked Wu Langxi to make more of these small kerosene stoves, and the problem of the soldiers eating hot rice could be solved.There is also the problem of sleeping.At night, the soldiers slept in the ice and snow, and it was easy to freeze to death, and they could not survive until dawn.At that time, there were not a few volunteers who were frozen to death like this.But Americans can't freeze to death, and they have eiderdown sleeping bags.Isn't it simple to make an eiderdown sleeping bag With the development of industrialization, fine spun fabrics have appeared.As a result, the rear began to intensify its work again, making kerosene stoves and eiderdown sleeping bags, all of which had to be done by the military industrial base, and they had to be kept strictly secret, so that the Manchus could not know and figure out what he was going to do.Song Xiance and Li Dingguo wondered, these strange ideas, how did Wang Shuo come up with it It seems that the general's brain is really not an ordinary human brain, Wang Shuo doesn't care what they talk about him there, he ordered Xin Sizhong, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, to quickly transfer 20,000 strong northern soldiers from the Northwest Military Region to form an advance army and go out with Li Dingguo.can only let Li Dingguo go, on mountain warfare, he is an expert among these people, and the ambush battle can take the head of Prince Nikan of Heshuo, and others really don't have this ability.The reason why people were transferred from the Northwest Military Region was that Wang Shuo considered that the Northwest Military Region was mostly composed of northerners, adapted to the cold climate in the north, and was frost-resistant.Xin Sizhong received an order to quickly transfer 20,000 elite soldiers from the whole army, with Niu Fangliang as the commander and Feng Qishan as the deputy commander, and quickly led the troops to Tianjin Port, where he joined up with the 20,000 soldiers of the Nanjing Military Region led by Li Dingguo, boarded Zheng Chenggong's warship and sea ship, passed through the Japanese Strait, and marched north.You have to be in a hurry, after the early manufacturing of equipment, a lot of time is wasted, the weather has entered the late autumn, and if you don't go, the sea water on the northern coast is frozen, and it is difficult for the ship to dock.Didn't Li Dingguo only bring 20,000 people, why did he bring another 20,000 people from the Nanjing Military Region, of course, after landing, you have to build a base by the sea, and the base must be guarded by someone to receive a large amount of supplies and ammunition from the navy.After Li Dingguo occupied Hetuala, it is estimated that there is a lot of grain there, and there is no need to transport it, but ammunition must be transported.Moreover, Wang Shuo's purpose is not only to occupy Hetuala.He wanted to use it as a base, and as long as Li Dingguo held it until the beginning of spring next year, he would transport the entire Second Army there, launch an offensive from the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and directly take Shenyang, so that the Manchus would be completely finished.The 20,000 men of the Nanjing Military Region were responsible for setting up bases and transporting supplies.After Li Dingguo set off from the port of Tianjin, Wang Shuo sent 200,000 cavalry from the Beijing Military Region.These cavalry, as in those years, carried fried noodles on their backs, took companies as units, opened distances, took care of each other, and immediately fired signal cannons when they found the situation, and then most of the cavalry would outflank them from all directions.The purpose of releasing the cavalry was to contain the Manchu Qing and confuse it, so that it still thought that Wang Shuo's main attack direction was in the Shanhaiguan area, to cover for Li Dingguo's surprise attack
