Nie Shicheng pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Yi, "What should Zhang Yi do in your opinion?"
Zhang Yi is also thoughtfully and said slowly, "My Lord, first, if we can’t abandon the city and go to a court to discuss it, it may make an adult suffer a catastrophe. Second, the Japanese army has hundreds of cavalry main forces and is too close to our army. If we abandon the city, we will be in danger of being surrounded at any time; Second, it is not a good policy to defend Kaesong. As Lord Shixiao said, once reinforcements are delayed and our ammunition is limited, it will be a stand-off if we sit around the isolated city. "
Nie Shicheng asked, "Do you have a good solution to the immediate crisis?"
Zhang Yi replied, "My Lord, when our army was still in Yashan, I had already sent Cang Lang to investigate the terrain and draw a military map. Please look at it when it is not ready."
When Zhang Yi came to the map, he pointed to the map and said, "My Lord, the gentle terrain of Kaesong is not conducive to passive defense. Our defense against Kaesong will be surrounded by the Japanese army on all sides, and then we will do our best to master both siege and aid. If we want to get rid of the defensive passivity, we must find a fulcrum, a fulcrum that can support each other at any time and threaten the Japanese army’s ribs to form a pincer-like situation for the Japanese army in Kaesong, so that the Japanese army can not launch a face attack on Kaesong at will to ensure short-term defense."
Nie Shicheng eyebrows slightly wrinkled doubt way "fulcrum? Where? "
Zhang Yi smiled and pointed to the southwest of Kaesong and said, "My Lord, the fulcrum I mentioned is more than ten miles away from Kaesong, Maoershan! Maoershan is a strategic commanding height in Kaicheng area with its back against mountains and facing the open plain. If we send troops to occupy and build fortifications here first, the Japanese army can attack the Japanese ribs when attacking the city, and bear the defensive pressure of Kaicheng to contain the Japanese army. Maoershan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, even if the Japanese army they nest and our army rely on mountains and mountains to defend according to risks, it is not easy for the Japanese army to attack. "
Nie Shicheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is a good idea to send an elite pre-protruding Maoershan Kaicheng to echo each other and form a containment for the Japanese army. However, once the Japanese army ōshima Yoshimasa is a famous soldier, I think Maoershan will bear the brunt of our attack and it will be difficult to build strong fortifications for a short time. Even if we can build fortifications, it is still ambiguous whether we can stop thousands of Japanese attacks."
Zhang Yi laughed. "Your honor, you can rest assured that the Japanese army will immediately launch an offensive even if it arrives in Kaesong today."
Nie Shicheng’s eyes lit up and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
Zhang Yi replied, "My Lord, in the past few days, my Cang Lang Brigade has blocked the Japanese army. Every attack is aimed at the Japanese military officers. Several times, the Japanese intermediate officers were killed by Cang Lang. Injured no less than 30 people seriously damaged the Japanese command system. ōshima Yoshimasa must reorganize his troops and adjust his establishment before he can launch an attack. Otherwise, the serious shortage of officers will have a great impact on the command war. It is unlikely that the Japanese army will launch an attack in two to three days. We will take this opportunity to build fortifications while we can seize the opportunity. At the same time, we have studied a new kind of fortifications-the drawings of trench fortifications have been drawn in our spare time, and engineers need to build them according to the drawings. Once the fortifications are completed, the Japanese army will never be able to occupy them in the short term. "
Nie Shicheng listened and laughed. "Well, in that case, we will send a good soldier to Maoershan according to Zhang Yi’s plan."
Li Gang said forward, "Your Excellency is willing to lead the deputy battalion to garrison and defend Maoershan to the death."
Nie Shicheng shook his head and said, "No, Li Gang’s deputy battalion has suffered many battles in recent days. The loss of troops is too serious, and it is difficult to bear such a heavy burden."
Zhang Yi replied, "Your Excellency suggested that you should lead the old camp in Maoershan, but the main force of our army is complete. I personally led the construction of fortifications to ensure safety."
Nie Shicheng nodded. "Well, the old camp and the deputy camp are all old people who have accumulated money over the years. I can trust you to lead the garrison in Maoershan. You can stay in Kaesong with the old counselor army and leave it to Zhang Yi for the time being."
The old camp duct tape is a confidant general of Nie Shicheng, Tang Keqiang. Tang Keqiang said urgently, "Adults must not be reluctant to part with the old camp or Zhang Yi’s brother’s lack of ability. The only worry is that the old camp was brought out by you personally, and the arrogant Zhang Yi brothers are new here. I am afraid that he will not be able to stop this group of rabbits. What personality do they have? You know the Maoershan Garrison Bureau best. We have to guard against it."
Nie Shicheng eyebrows a wrinkly Tang Keqiang said that he really managed to bring troops with him. He knew that these guys were afraid that except himself and Tang Keqiang, I was afraid that Li Gang, the oldest duct tape, would be tied behind his back when he went to the commander in chief.
Tang Keqiang went on to say that "adults are willing to go to Maoershan with Zhang Yi brothers, and it is too risky for Zhang Yi brothers to lead alone."
Nie Shicheng said with a sigh, "Let’s go with Zhang Yi. I don’t want you to follow because Li Gang was seriously injured. You went to Maoershan with Zhang Yi. My side is understaffed. Remember that you are a member of the Iliad, but you are strategizing. You are poor in Zhang Yi. Remember that all tactical arrangements are followed by Zhang Yi. It is a matter of great carelessness. I only ask you."
Tang Keqiang should promise.
Zhang Yi listened to Nie Shicheng’s words and said, "Since adults are short of people to join the army, I think adults recommend one person, Xu Huaijin!"
"here!" Xu Huaijin walked a few steps before giving a gift.
Zhang Yi said, "Adult Xu Huaijin studied in Germany in his early years to study military literacy, which is no better than mine. I will leave him with the Counsellor’s Army for the time being."
Nie Shicheng nodded and said, "Well, since you recommended it, there must be something extraordinary, so I’ll leave it to me to make suggestions. The young man must come up with something real!"
Chapter 35 Li Hongzhang’s resentment
Zhang Yi went on to say, "A tiger, you are bold and cautious, and there are many ghosts at ordinary times. This time, you and Ba Gen will lead all the brothers of the Cang Lang Brigade to attack the Japanese trench team. Of course, this must have a full opportunity to raid the Japanese command post. Never act rashly. Remember that I will send you four letter word to be sure of the accuracy of the information before making a decision. If you plan carefully, one mistake may ruin all our brothers; We must let them know that it hurts to severely attack ghosts, so that the strategic deployment of ghosts will converge and reduce the defense pressure on Kaesong and our side; The last point must be quick, don’t drag your feet, don’t stay in the same place any longer, and now you can take your brothers and get your weapons and ammunition ready and act immediately! "
Zhang Yihu nodded and replied, "Boss, I understand that the Cang Lang Brigade will never embarrass you!"
Aside, Tan Feng was a little anxious when he heard that he had nothing to do with himself. "What about me, boss? What am I going to do when you have arranged them all?"
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "You will be with me. This is my first defensive war. You will be stationed with me in the strategic highland of Kaesong. In addition, I will go to the Cang Lang Brigade to find four or five artillery masters to take with me and let the ghosts learn a lot about how the old artillery conducted artillery battles. We will avenge last night’s shelling!"
Tan Feng grinned. There was a big fight this time, and he had to do his own work.
Nie Shicheng watched Zhang Yi decorate his heart and secretly lamented that Zhang Yiguo was really amazing. He was meticulous in military deployment. When he was really a war genius, he was still an ignorant recruit like him.
Nie Shicheng nodded and said, "In this case, before it’s too late, Tang Keqiang, you should go back and immediately reorganize your troops and replenish the trench. Before noon, you must make proper arrangements to build fortifications and camp materials out of the city with Zhang Yi. You have to take more cannons and Maxim machine guns in the past if the Japanese attack you."
Tang Keqiang didn’t say much. He was going to prepare for Zhang Yi and stopped him. "Brother Keqiang must remember to bring more shovel tools. We can’t dig trenches and repair fortifications without these things."
Tang Keqiang Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Good brother, don’t worry about these."
Zhang Yi turned to Nie Shicheng and said, "My Lord, do you have anything to explain?"
Nie Shicheng laughed. "With you around me, it’s a lot easier for me to be the boss. Now we are waiting for the Japanese army to come and they will fight in the city … Order the deputy battalion and the Peking University battalion to make up a new battalion to keep the south gate of Kaesong with me. In the future, the Japanese army will attack the city by relying on its military superiority. We must keep the south gate without losing the first battalion of the training army, the second battalion of the training army in the north gate, the third battalion of the training army in the east gate and the third battalion of the training army in the north gate. The other two battalions’ reserves are ready to support at any time
Thousands of miles away, Li Hongzhang’s residence in Tianjin came back from his official duties at noon with a heavy heart. In recent days, he has taken pains to maintain the situation. Lafayette in the court does not want to make a big move to make peace and live a stable birthday. The emperor is young and energetic, but at the same time, Weng Tonghe, the old guy, advocates going to war, and at the same time, he makes things difficult for himself everywhere. These people know that they are in a hurry, but in recent years, because they have not maintained the army, they have barely maintained their combat power, but they can’t do it. The naval guns, old shells and lack of naval training are seriously inadequate, and their Huai army has been downsized again and again. But now there are more than 50 thousand people. How can they resist the future Japanese tiger and wolf army? Nowadays, the talents in Qing Dynasty are dying. I think that when Wen Zhenggong Zuo Zongtang and his own towns worked hard to maintain it, we had Tongzhi Zhongxing. Now the first two people have long since died in the DPRK, but there is no good talent to replace Weng Tonghe. But a humble student can talk about military affairs, politics and diplomacy. A corpse is a vegetarian moth.
Li Hongzhang sighed deeply and sat wearily on the sofa chair and rubbed his temples lightly. At this moment, Sheng Xuanhuai hurried in from the outside and saw Li Hongzhang’s tiredness and said softly, "nave’s adult Nie Shicheng from North Korea sent an urgent message that things have changed in North Korea."
Li Hongzhang was shocked and said, "Show me the text!"
Sheng Xuanhuai handed the newspaper to Li Hongzhang and said, "Nie Shicheng said that in the early morning of July 27th, when the Japanese army raided the two camps in the north and south of our army, the exact information had been obtained before the South Camp. Nie Shicheng informed Ye Zhichao twice, which did not attract Ye Zhichao’s attention. Finally, Nie Shicheng went to Peking Camp to inform Ye Zhichao that Ye Zhichao was still not prepared. As a result, the effect was that Peking Camp was attacked only after less than half an hour, the Japanese army defeated Ye Zhichao, and on the way to escape, the Japanese army was ambushed and killed. Nie Shicheng was robbed of all the trench. Fortunately, Zhang Yi, the leader of the Cang Lang battalion, led a cavalry surprise attack on the Japanese battalion, burned down the Japanese army’s trench, and led most of the Japanese troops to come back to Yashanwei. Now Nie Shicheng has retired from the city and stationed more than 20,000 Japanese troops in the DPRK. Please ask the court to urge reinforcements to enter the DPRK as soon as possible. "
Li hongzhang read the newspaper nu way "Ye Zhichao Ye Zhichao by mistake! Three thousand troops didn’t even make it for half an hour! This is the shame of Huai army and the shame of Beiyang! "
Sheng Xuanhuai said, "When nave is not angry now, you should send a telegram to the imperial court quickly. Please see the statement. Please aim to quickly secure the strategic fortress in the northern coastal area of Fengtian, and guard against the Japanese invasion of the three foreign provinces. At the same time, you should also quickly send reinforcements into the DPRK to support Nie Shicheng. Otherwise, Nie Shicheng’s department will inevitably be wiped out."
Li Hongzhang mused, "Xing Sun is now facing a lot of constraints in the DPRK, and all the troops are not prepared in a hurry. If we can complete the whole army preparation? Can temporarily urge Ma Yukun, Zuo Baogui, Wei Rugui Fengsheng to March into Kaesong, and then I’ll raise his good plan to see if we can unify the court’s opinions before making a decision. At the same time, it’s rare for Ding Ruchang to immediately rectify the army and transport a reinforcement to the DPRK through the navy to strongly recommend this Zhang Yi to praise him for letting a arrogant person like Gong Ting praise him so much. "
Sheng Xuanhuai laughed. "This guy is also quite strange. Four months ago, he was a new soldier who joined the army. At first, he was brave and fearless, and he was promoted to be a sentry. This guy dared to meet the company commanders and asked for the training of a new army. This Nie Gongting didn’t know what medicine he took. It was amazing that he trained a good soldier to punish Nie Gongting’s arrogant soldiers only three months ago."
Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "It’s true that Gong Ting is fierce. It’s worthy of being the four famous generals of the Huai Army. Since the First World War in Yashan, this Zhang Yi has to take the key role in every battle. This time he is stationed out of the city and stationed in Kaesong. It’s also a rare talent. Now, I am a talented young generation, and no one can get it except Yuan Xiangcheng. This Zhang Yi will be better. After a hundred years, this will be the pillar of Beiyang."
Sheng Xuanhuai pondered, "nave’s adult, the situation in the imperial court is chaotic now, and the party struggle is getting more and more fierce. Even if you are struggling, since Nie Gongting holds this Zhang Yi as such a genius, he is not proficient in military, political and western diplomacy. Why don’t you go to the pavilion and ask Zhang Yi to share your worries and see if there is a good way to try whether Zhang Yi is really knowledgeable or pregnant?"
Li Hongzhang nodded, "Maybe Nie Gongting is exaggerating, but this Zhang Yi thing should still be somewhat, otherwise Nie Gongting would not listen to him and retire from Yashan-Chenghuan, so I will consult Nie Gongting."
Chapter 36 Zhang Yi Debate
Kaesong NieShiCheng Zhang Yi and many leaders have just finished discussing and were about to disperse their respective arrangements.
This is Zhao Shixiao who came in in a hurry and said, "The adult of the military gate, old nave, has come over."
Nie Shicheng’s heart is so fast. Even if the reporting speed is so fast, the military affairs still need to be discussed at the court. Are there any so-called clean, post-party and imperial party lawsuits in the Qing Dynasty? Why is it so fast this time? Has the court unified its opinion? But even if the court unified its opinion, it would not be so fast, at least until the genius should have the result
