I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 578 The decisive battle begins

Hanyang, Wuchang's Ming army has just been dispatched, Huajun's Chinese army received the news.

There are hot air balloons dedicated to observing the enemy in the sky, and the soldiers above are equipped with the latest flares.

The thick smoke after the explosion of this flare is very dark, and the divergence speed is slow, and it has good discrimination in the daytime, and can be seen clearly from a few kilometers away.

When the Chinese army received the news, it immediately launched this kind of flare.

A signal transfer point 5 miles away from the Chinese army immediately launched a signal bomb.

After four or five passes, Hua Jun in Tianxingzhou knew that the enemy had started to move.

They immediately made preparations and set sail to the center of the battlefield for support.

An army of 40,000 can hold back the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands, but it is not easy to counterattack and achieve great results.

And the confrontation with the Ming army was not the original intention of the Hua army.

They wanted to make the troops parked in Tianxingzhou suddenly appear on the battlefield of the decisive battle in the center, break the anxious battlefield balance between the two sides, and stab the enemy's heart ruthlessly.

As long as this troop appears on the battlefield, then it is equivalent to telling the Ming army that you are in the game, run away, or the entire army will be wiped out.

Once the Ming army starts to flee, then the Hua army can chase and kill happily and expand the victory.

This kind of work, Hua Jun is also quite skilled.

If He Tengjiao is smart enough, he is also courageous enough. Continuing to fight to the death knowingly knowing the plot will be a bit frustrating for Hua Jun, but it's not a big deal.

With those 20,000 new troops, they can counter-encircle one part of the Ming army, then gradually eliminate it, and then move to other parts.

This is already the worst situation that Huajun may encounter.

In fact, according to the estimates of Tao Dongcheng and others, it was impossible for the Ming army to do this.

The generals above are not in chaos, but the soldiers below are in chaos.

The hundreds of thousands of troops who can still fight to the death are the elites. With this kind of elite troops, He Tengjiao has already expanded all around.

It is not that, after occupying Hubei for a year, He Tengjiao did not do much, and he never even took the initiative to attack the places where the Chinese army was very few troops stationed.

I really don't dare, their troops, after cutting, are still fish belly, but there is no old, weak, sick or disabled.

At least, compared with Hua Jun, they are still a mob.

The armies on both sides were rapidly mobilizing, and the three towns were very close to each other. This kind of scheduling didn't take much time.

As He Tengjiao's troops arrived in Hankou and formally contacted the Hua army, the decisive battle began.

The Ming army attacked the Hua army from three directions.

He Tengjiao's division has a total force of 40,000, 3,000 flintlock troops, and the rest are cold weapons.

In front of them was the Hua Army's 32nd Division, Li Lianfan's troops, with a total number of 12,000.

Yongxing two-year-old rifles were 5,000, flintlock guns were 5,000, and about 2,000 others were technical arms.

Grenadiers, Pyros, Mortars, Signal Corps, Gendarmerie, Medics...  

The Huajun's arms are very numerous and complex, so complex that the enemy is dazzled.

There are even dedicated battlefield observers.

It is the kind of officer who has nothing to do with them when the sky falls. Their only job is to observe various situations on the battlefield and record them.

After the war, these detailed records would be taken out for study and lessons learned.

Don't underestimate their role, at least in future generations, there will be their presence in every battle.

With more than 10,000 people, Li Lianfan's line of defense is as long as ten miles. If any point is breached, this line of defense will lose its meaning.

There is about one soldier in an average of one meter, and it seems that there are many people.

However, fighting can't be counted like this, at least there must be an alternate.

Otherwise, the death of a soldier is equivalent to losing a one-meter line of defense.

In this case, if hundreds of people die, their line of defense will be finished.

In short, it is impossible for the enemy to spread the attack equally across the entire front, nor the Chinese army to spread the defense equally. It's all piece by piece, with a focus.

A section of the local defense force is dense, and then there is no one on the defensive line.

Then, according to the enemy's attack location, constantly adjust the deployment of troops.

The battlefield is changing rapidly and is very complicated, and it cannot be explained in a few words.

In short, it is very difficult for 10,000 people to defend a ten-mile-long line of defense.

What's more, because of the rush of time, some of their fortifications have not yet been built.

The battlefield is like this, it will never be possible to calculate accurately.

Encountering such difficulties, the comparison is which army can overcome the difficulties better.

"kill."

After He Tengjiao arranged the attack plan, he shouted to kill.

Afterwards, his troops were divided into about ten parts, advancing towards seven areas, and the other three corps were waiting for an opportunity.

In fact, He Tengjiao also understood that by dividing the troops as little as possible, the advantage of the Chinese army could be better weakened.

But he couldn't do that. The quality of his officers was incomparable to that of the Hua Army.

Those so-called corps chiefs have almost zero military qualities, and are generally fierce or brave, or those who can be human beings can serve.

At least an officer at the level of Baihu would know a little bit of tactics.

Their

The quality of officers determines that they cannot conduct small-scale battles.

Once all are dispersed, maybe some teams will be able to turn around and flee, some teams may not be able to keep up, some will advance too fast, and some will not be able to go straight and run to the attack position of the friendly forces.

In short, if someone who has no command ability goes to the battlefield, he will inevitably bring chaos to an army.

Ten sections with about four thousand people each.

After seeing the enemy's deployment through the telescope, the Chinese army began to adjust quickly.

This kind of adjustment is the self-adjustment of the company-level unit, and the company commander or battalion commander makes a judgment, and then autonomously orders the adjustment of the position of the troops.

No way, without a phone, it's completely unrealistic to expect the signal troopers to run around.

Therefore, Li Lianfan directly delegated power to the people below and let them adjust themselves.

Li Lianfan has confidence in his subordinates, all of whom have attended military academies and have successfully graduated.

It may be difficult for them to formulate clever tactics, but some simple maneuvers on the battlefield are definitely no problem.

After all, this isn't some esoteric knowledge. It's nothing more than that, when you see which position the enemy is focusing on attacking, you quickly move closer to that position.

When encountering an enemy, the troops are divided, and then according to the number of opponents, the division is also carried out according to a certain proportion.

Of course, the details still need attention, that's all.

Relying on the excellent quality of the basic officers of the Hua army, the Hua army quickly completed the adjustment, and did not give the Ming army the opportunity to concentrate its superior forces to attack weak positions.
