 Chapter 13821383 Necessary counterattack

"We must fight back! We must fight back no matter what!" Zhang Xuan emphasized firmly to Sun Guang and Yingxu who had rushed to attend the meeting, banging on the table.

"Assembling a large army and launching a powerful counterattack against the Tang army is the key to whether we can defend Shu!" He said righteously and sonorously: "If we continue to defend like this, we will have no way to turn over."

 In fact, both Sun Guang and Ying Xu think what Zhang Xuan said is right. They also believe that such a passive defense is really not a good idea.

Although their troops seemed to be numerous, they were all dispersed to prevent the Tang army from attacking. The so-called fortification everywhere means that there is no fortification. The Tang army can come and go freely. The location where the battle breaks out is chosen by the Tang army, and the Qin army has always been passive.

But Sun Guang and Yingxu had no choice. They did not have the ability to mobilize such a large army, and the Qin army also did not have the ability to launch a large-scale counterattack.

The more this is the case, the greater the gap between the two sides: the Qin army is forced to defend, the Tang army can take the initiative to attack at will, the Qin army is more passive and can only invest more troops in passive defense, and the Tang army can take the initiative to attack more at will... This is simply An endless loop.

In fact, because the Qin army had no way to assemble, the pressure on the Tang army became very small. The Tang army did not even invest much force in building positions on the front line because they were always in a state of preparing to attack and attacking.

As a result, the Tang Army's ammunition consumption was actually very small. They only fought key battles at key nodes. Naturally, they did not need to reserve ammunition everywhere and waste transportation capacity and resources like the Qin Army did.

The transportation capacity saved by the Tang Army can directly revitalize the economy of the occupied area, create a better atmosphere in the occupied area, and gain the support of the local people.

With this continuous and healthy development, the occupied area became a solid rear area for the Tang Army. They began to turn around and provide blood transfusions for the Tang Army, putting greater pressure on the Qin Army.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan decided to launch a large-scale counterattack in Shu to break this cycle and force the Tang army to distract their attention and devote more troops to defensive operations.

As long as this counterattack is successful, the Qin army will be able to relieve the pressure, and even reverse the unfavorable war situation in Shu to a certain extent, delaying more time.

"But, general... if you gather more than 100,000 troops, you can't escape the eyes of the Tang army." Sun Guang reminded Zhang Xuandao helplessly. His words were like pouring cold water on Zhang Xuan's head, and the latter immediately became silent.

Everyone knows that it is difficult to keep large-scale troop mobilizations strictly confidential. However, the Qin army's rear has been infiltrated like a sieve by the unscrupulous people of Shu and Tang army spies, and it is impossible to conceal any information.

Putting aside human factors, other factors also restricted the mobilization and assembly of the Qin army. A large-scale troop buildup requires the support of highway and railway lines, and these transportation lines of the Qin Army have been almost destroyed.

In addition, modern army gatherings are accompanied by a large number of radiation signals, electromagnetic signals, and even the setting up of camps will cause obvious changes in the surface of the earth...and these things cannot be faked.

 In fact, it was precisely because of these reasons that the Tang army was sure that the Qin army could not assemble, so it was so confident and bold to maintain its offensive posture and pin the Qin army to death on the ground.

The Tang Army used electromagnetic suppression to make the Qin Army's mobilization inherently difficult, and then destroyed the routes to paralyze the Qin Army's mobilization. Therefore, the Qin army was unable to assemble a large number of troops at all. Once it was forcibly assembled, the Tang Air Force would find the target and carry out high-intensity bombing.

"Tens of thousands of elites can still be assembled in a concealed manner." Zhang Xuan still did not give up. He felt that even if it was a limited counterattack, he should still try it.

Yingxu also spoke. Although his qualifications are not very good, he is now a rare "general" on the front line of the Qin army, so his opinion is also very important: "General... does not have tanks and heavy artillery, and only relies on infantry." , it doesn’t seem to have any effect.”

Even if the Qin army uses infantry to break through the Tang army's defense line, it will be passive because the advance speed is too slow and the troops will not have heavy fire support.

What good results can a group of light infantry squeeze into the gaps between the tanks and armored vehicles of the Tang Army? Doesn't it usually happen that the Tang army takes the initiative to attack and compress the Qin army's infantry into the gaps? Are you crazy now if you take the initiative to squeeze in?

“Then tell me what to do!” Zhang Xuan actually didn’t have a good idea, so he asked the two of them bitterly.

Sun Guang looked away in embarrassment. His main defense area was near Qingluan Port, and he could continue to hold on for a while relying on the city.

Yingxu had nothing to say. He also set up camp with his back to the Shushan defense line. At least he could still deal with the Tang army with his back to Shushan.

 Zhang Xuan, who is only responsible for the plain area of ​​Shu, is in the least optimistic situation: his defense line is too long and his troops are too scattered.

Now, behind Zhang Xuan is the Shushan defense line, which is at least relatively safe, but the other two sides are not so comfortable: to his south is the landing force of the 7th Tang Army that has entered the hinterland of Shu, and to his east is the landing force of the 7th Tang Army that has entered the hinterland of Shu. The 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty besieged the Xishan Fortress.

In such a situation, as long as he is not careful, he may be surrounded in Shu, so he must find a way to solve the trouble on one side.

From the terrain point of view, his best choice is to abandon the Xishan Fortress, go south to assume a decisive battle, and drive the 7th Army of the Tang Dynasty back to the seaside after rushing into Shu.

But everyone knows that this is impossible. If the Qin army starts to move south and loses the Xishan fortress, whether the Tang 6th Army will attack from the flanks is put aside for the time being. Can the Zhang Xuan Group of the Qin army defeat the Tang Dynasty alone? It is not certain that the 7th Army will be defeated.

 In fact, saying that you are not sure is quite polite. Everyone is very sure that this cannot be done. The 7th Army of the Tang Army, backed by the Tang State's main fleet and able to obtain supplies from the shore, was too big to lose and could not solve the problem.

This is equivalent to saying that San Dezi held a meeting in 1945 to discuss whether to gather troops to drive the American and British coalition forces into the sea. They were all talking in their dreams.

"I can cooperate with the general...to launch a counterattack on the Qingluan front line." Finally, Sun Guang considered the overall situation and gave a plan: "If the attention of the Tang army can be attracted, the general's troops can attack the Tang army from the north. …can work wonders.”
