Chapter 16321633We are back
So, the prime minister actually gave Yangmu I advice. In his opinion, both Van Kruse and Ludd should be dismissed from their posts for their incompetence in frontline operations to serve as a warning to others.
But Yangmu I was worried that he would have no one to use, so he could only save Van Kruse and Lude, who had no problem with their loyalty.
Now, Van Kruse is still on the front line responsible for commanding the defeated troops of the 2nd Army. Although Ludd was called back to the country, he went directly to command the newly formed 3rd Army.
The elves rebuilt the destroyed 3rd Army. Although there was no way to immediately replenish all the heavy weapons, the number of troops they had recruited was indeed low. This new unit lacks training and is not yet ready to fight.
"Let's not talk about the past. What we have to consider now is how to assemble the troops to gain an advantage over the Tang Army..." Yang Mu I heard that the topic turned to the frontline rout and interrupted the other party unhappily. if.
Before the war started, the high-level elves’ meeting had indeed considered that their own fleet would be annihilated by the Tang army once it participated in the war. Everyone is well aware of Tang Jun's technical advantages, so they are somewhat mentally prepared for losses.
However, when things come to an end, it will still be hard to accept if there is a real loss: There is no way, the navy is such an expensive unit, and it is really difficult for people to face it calmly if they lose everything in a few hours.
"Binghan I hopes to gather 2 million people on the front line, use absolute military superiority to make up for the technical and tactical disadvantages, advance layer by layer, and drive the Tang army back to the vicinity of Everwinter City." Yang Mu I interrupted the prime minister's words. , came up with the dwarf’s latest strategic plan.
Although it sounds a little hard to accept, this is indeed a way: regardless of losses, pile up victory with blood. The Tang Army's recent attacks have expanded the length of the battle line. If there are really two million people spread out along the line of control, it will indeed be easy to find the weaknesses in the Tang Army's defense line and then break through them.
The problem is, those are two million people! Let alone whether there are so many people, how to send these people to the front line is a problem in itself.
"It's too natural, Your Majesty." Although the prime minister doesn't understand military affairs, he already knows a lot about the transportation issues that have been discussed most in meetings these days.
Maintaining one million troops fighting on the front line is not an easy task, especially without air superiority.
The closer you get to the northern part of the Ice Empire, the more serious the collapse of the transportation system becomes. Roads and transportation nodes are on the verge of paralysis. The attack by the Tang Army makes all transportation arrangements difficult.
Under such war conditions, it would be extremely difficult to send an additional 100,000 people to the front line, let alone 1 million people.
As the old saying goes, it's not just about sending 1 million people to a place. These 100 people need to eat and drink, have ammunition supplies to support their battle, medical supplies, and all kinds of other things. Grouped equipment.
Just kidding, preparing enough diesel generators and diesel for these troops is no small project! Including cable lines...the amount of work is comparable to building a small city. To take a step back, if we just let these people build fortifications and 1 million people dig trenches, how many woven bags will it take? How much steel and cement is needed? How much wood tarp do I need? How many iron plate bolts do you need for a hinged door handle?
"According to the current situation, our troops will probably not be able to continue heading north after arriving in Saint-Lo." The prime minister thought for a while and gave a relatively pessimistic answer.
Then, he pointed to the dwarf city on the map that was very close to the northern border of the elves, and continued: "So my suggestion is to find a way to fight the Tang army in Shengluo... If the dwarf and Susas troops can be cut off from the flanks, If we extend our tentacles to Saint Luo, we may still have hope of victory."
The Tang army moved south along the coastline and rushed towards Shengluo, forming a seemingly long protrusion near the sea. If this protrusion is cut off, then the coalition seems to have hope of turning defeat into victory.
"But I know this is not easy, Your Majesty. Intelligence sent from the front line shows that the 1st Group Army of the Tang Army is going south. This unit has one of the best combat capabilities within the Tang Army. It has not been defeated since its birth to this day." Immediately, this The prime minister added: "So, this is another adventure."
"War itself is an adventure!" Yang Mu I also felt that encircling and annihilating the Tang army in the salient was their better choice to turn defeat into victory. So he nodded and agreed with this point of view: "Let Van Kruse have to defend Saint-Lo!"
"Also, our 2nd Army, 4th and 5th Army, and even the follow-up 6th Army are all in the direction of Saint-Lo... They need a higher-level commander to command." The prime minister learned from the lessons of previous failures, Remind Yang Mu Ishidao.
Yangmu I continued to nod. He also felt that it would be too childish to not give the frontline troops a unified commander. So he thought for a moment and came up with a candidate: "How about Marshal Flix?"
Although Marshal Flix is over seventy years old this year, there is really no better candidate. So the prime minister expressed his agreement with the emperor's choice: "Your choice is correct, Your Majesty. We need a mature and prudent commander to stabilize the situation on the front line."
Marshal Felix is a very prestigious general among the elves. He earned the title of marshal during the battle against the dwarves. The marshal was not allowed to go to the Ice Empire before, mainly to take care of the dwarves' emotions.
But now we can no longer care about that much. If we continue to think about it like this, the coalition will lose the war. So Flix was elected and at this moment became the frontline commander of the Yangmu Empire.
On the first day that Marshal Flix took office, he received bad news: two divisions of the 8th Dwarf Army and 7 divisions of elves laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Tang Army. The Tang Army solved the trouble in the encirclement.
This also means that the Tang army has been able to mobilize enough forces to start attacking the important southern city of Shengluo.
It was also on this day that the news of the destruction of the coalition fleet was confirmed: the Tang fleet wiped out 7 coalition aircraft carriers and more than ten battleships, completely controlling the sea.
Dorne's fleet did not escape the disaster. They were also attacked inexplicably, and then sank inexplicably. They even died without finding a chance to fight back.
On the same day, Tang Army carrier-based aircraft air raided Refeng Port and dropped dozens of bombs. After leaving for more than ten years, they announced to the world: Port Rewind! We're back!
