I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Hauge's army had just set off, and Xuzhou had already started fighting.

The first place where the battle broke out was Xiao County. The reinforcements from Huaibei tried to break through Xiao County and enter Xuzhou, where they joined the defenders of Xuzhou.

Duan Qiming is stationed in Xiao County, and he is also an academic general from the military academy.

He graduated fifth in the same period, and when he entered the army, his starting position was the regiment commander.

After the first Northern Expedition, he has now risen to the position of the division commander and can be on his own.

This speed of promotion has made countless people envious.

Only in a rising force can such a miracle of promotion occur.

Duan Qiming's 25th Division had a total of 13,000 people stationed in Xiao County, and Huaibei Guo Ruowen came to attack Xiao County, with a total of more than 22,000 people.

Guo Ruowen knew that although he had nearly 10,000 more than his opponent, he would not take advantage of the fight at all.

Therefore, while he tentatively attacked, he urged Wanyan Yechen and Kong Youde in Xuzhou to send troops out to support him.

What Guo Ruowen meant was that, taking advantage of the fact that the Hua army had only such a lone army in Xiao County, it was possible to use its superior force to attack from left and right together to destroy this force of the Hua army.

Although taking the initiative to attack is not as good as relying on fortifications to defend, but as long as you pay a certain price to defeat the Hua army, the next moment is to chase down and defeat.

And the results that can be achieved cannot be achieved by passive defense.

When he sent a message to Xuzhou, Duan Qiming also quickly sent the message to his own Chinese army headquarters.

Before receiving a response from Wanyan Yechen, Guo Ruowen didn't dare to attack with all his strength, and he couldn't take a detour. It goes too far, takes too long and is full of uncertainty.

If you want to go straight through Xiao County, just wait for the raid on the way.

So for Guo Ruowen, Xiaoxian is a road that he cannot avoid.

Moreover, he didn't even think about avoiding it, because in his opinion, he had a huge advantage in flanking with Wanyan Yechen.

When an army is surrounded, soldiers tend to panic.

However, after receiving the news from Guo Ruowen, Wanyan Yechen and Kong Youde were unable to make up their minds.

"What is the current position of Liu Han's three?"

Wanyan Yechen asked the spies from the intelligence department. He needed to know the position of Liu Hansan's army before he could make a decision.

If Liu Han's three divisions were already close to Xuzhou, he would never dare to leave the city, so it would be difficult to enter the city easily.

If Xuzhou is accidentally attacked and conquered, then the battle will be announced to end early.

However, if Liu Han's three divisions are still far away, and he does not go out of the city to attack Duan Qiming's lone army, it will be a missed opportunity.

"The Chinese army has already appeared in the area downstairs, and it is less than 60 miles away from us."

Tanma said vaguely.

"What do you mean, did their main force arrive downstairs, or did their striker arrive downstairs?"

Wanyan Ye Chen asked.

There's still a big difference between the two, and if it's just a striker, don't worry. If it is the main force, it can only hide in Xuzhou honestly.

As for the reinforcements who came to rescue, we can only count on them to show their magical powers.

"This, I don't know, the enemy has a lot of scouts. Our scouts can't go deep behind the enemy, and can only collect some information on the periphery."

Tan Ma lowered his head, he understood that this answer would definitely not satisfy Wanyan Yechen.

"Waste, what do I keep you for? Keep exploring. If you don't find the location of the enemy's headquarters, come back and see me."

Wanyan Yechen scolded angrily, as a commander, every decision he made would be related to the outcome of the battle.

So, intelligence is very important to him. Only accurate information can allow him to make the most accurate judgment.

After scolding the horse, Wanyan Yechen and Kong Youde felt together that before the situation was clear, they could not easily send troops, lest they fall into the Chinese army's trick to lure the enemy.

The defeat of the reinforcements will have an impact on the outcome of the entire battle, but the impact is not fatal.

And once their troops stationed in Xuzhou were defeated, it would directly determine the outcome.

"It seems inappropriate not to help. We can turn Li Anyuan from Suzhou and help Guo Ruowen first."

Kong Youde suggested.

They have an army of 60,000 in Xuzhou, and it is unlikely that the Hua army wants to capture it in a short time.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about rescuing Xuzhou. You can go to help Guo Ruowen, who needs help now.

Wanyan Yechen thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he accepted Kong Youde's suggestion.

His messenger left the city, and Liu Hansan also received urgent military information from Duan Qiming.

Liu Hansan immediately convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.

"The enemies of Huaibei have already taken the bait, and they all talk about how to eat this army."

Liu Hansan and the others were still in the area of ​​Wangji Town, more than 150 miles away from Xiao County.

It would take three or four days at the earliest to get to Xiao County.

"Xiao County is too close to Xuzhou, this battle must be resolved quickly. If Wanyan Yechen knew that our main force has not yet arrived, they might take the initiative to attack and besiege the 25th Division. As a result, the 25th Division may have Danger."

An Fugui said.

"Then let the 26th Division of the Pioneer Army go to support, and work together to eat the reinforcements from Huaibei."

Liu Hansan

Say.

"The 26th division has only come downstairs. There are still sixty or seventy miles away from Xiaoxian. I'm afraid it will be too late."

Another staff officer reminded Liu Hansan of the current position of the 26th Division.

"You can do this. Let the 24th Division, which was originally going to ambush and intercept Li Anyuan, turn around and go to Xiaoxian County, and then let the Forward 26th Division divert to intercept Li Anyuan. In this way, the 70-mile road that the 24th Division had to travel was divided between the two troops, and the time should be It can save a lot.”

Another division staff officer, Du Jinshen, who had just been transferred to the Northern Corps, suggested that he made some arrangements based on the current positions of the various units on the battlefield.

The 24th Division is the closest to the 25th Division, only 30 miles away. If you march quickly, you can arrive in one day.

The 26th Division of the Forward is also close to the 24th Division, only more than 30 kilometers away, so it can quickly reach the position of the original 24th Division and complete the interception of the Suzhou reinforcements.

"This is a good idea. You can even be bolder and let the 24th and 26th divisions not carry baggage such as artillery. In this way, the 24th division's artillery can be reserved for the 26th division. As for the 24th division, they can only be overcome. "

An Fugui added.

Their meeting was very brief, and the deployment was decided in a few words.

They don't need to have so many concerns like Wanyan Yechen, they can act with confidence and boldness.

Even if it fails, it is only the loss of a division's strength.

For Liu Hansan, who has ten divisions, it is not fatal.

It's totally worth the gamble relative to what you can get.

In war, many tactics are bets.

As the saying goes, people make things happen, and God makes things happen. That's it.
