Chapter 202 The Fierce Battle of Nichi
Ye Bocheng rushed over quickly. Zhao Xiaobing asked him to read the message and looked solemn. Xiao Ye felt strange. It was said that my new army was ahead of its weapons and had extraordinary combat power, but why did such a major sacrifice occur?
Zhao Xiaobing said that he arranged support supplies when he was still in Baoning Mansion. What was the situation of that batch?
Ye Bocheng said that at that time, he mobilized 3,000 people and raised 10,000 yaks to transport weapons, ammunition and supplies. He should have arrived, but there was no information feedback.
Zhao Xiaobing asked him to discuss the transfer of logistics supplies with Xu Jing and Luo Zekuan, and then arranged for Zhao Xiaojun to send a brigade of infantry to Kemu. After the brigade stepped into Kemu, he immediately asked Kemu garrison to go to a brigade to support Nichi.
This is called long-distance relay delivery. He asked Kemu's infantry brigade to make full preparations to set off on the border. When the people from Gansu enter Kemu, they will set off immediately. The soldiers will not have to travel long distances.
Zhao Xiaobing is still unclear about the stability of Kemu. If there is another turmoil, he will not lose it.
His relay delivery is guaranteed to ensure the combat power of the soldiers and regional security will not be greatly affected.
Ye Bocheng immediately went to Xu Jing and the others to discuss.
Yu Jiao came back happily to greet him, but saw that Zhao Xiaobing was in a bad mood and didn't know what was going on.
Mu Xin said that the battle report on Nichi's front line has come and suffered heavy losses.
Zhao Xiaobing stood up and hugged the two beauties and said it was okay, victory or defeat was common in military affairs, and it was normal.
After saying that, he went to the study.
He walked down and raised his feet to the desk, closed his eyes and thought, what was wrong?
When he woke up the next day, Yu Jiao was flirting with him. A light suddenly flashed in his mind. He screamed. Yu Jiao immediately covered his mouth and asked him what was wrong?
He said he would get up quickly and call Xu Jinglai.
Soon, Xu Jing came, and he asked him to immediately Chuanxin Xiaojun, Yang Zhan, Wang Fei, Li Xingzhi, and Chen Jishan to closely monitor the movements of the Mongolian army, actively prepare for war, and deal with them on the spot.
He ordered the Shangnan garrison three brigades to return to Chang'an, Baoji and Pingliang to maneuver.
After a while, Ye Bocheng came and he also expressed the same concerns.
Ye Bocheng reported to him: After discussion, the General Staff improved his orders, transferred the Qinghai cavalry to Kemu, and asked Kemu to send troops to Nichi, and then the Gansu infantry relayed to complete the troops' delivery, so that reinforcements could arrive quickly.
He asked if it was the team of the third son of the Wang family in Kemu who went to Nichi?
Ye Bocheng answered yes and asked him what was wrong?
He sighed and said that the military order had been issued, so just go.
Zhao Xiaobing was a little worried that their Wang family had too deep relationship with Mongolia, and Xifan and Mongolia were like wearing pairs of pants. Now it was a life-and-death battle. Will the troops of the three brothers of the Wang family gathered in one place? Will there be an accident?
This is because he did not directly order the reinforcements of the Kemu cavalry last night, and he was still subconsciously worried.
Ye Bocheng said that when we are now trapped in the quagmire of Xifan, mobilizing troops to support Nichi, the Mongolian army will definitely know it quickly. This is an excellent opportunity to attack us, but I don’t know which direction the enemy will go.
Zhao Xiaobing asked him to find Xu Jing and analyze the information.
Because he mobilized a cavalry division in Gansu and Qinghai, he immediately transferred Chen Jishan's cavalry to the Jingyuan area for mobile preparations. Now he ordered a brigade of infantry to advance to Kemu, so he would definitely not be able to hide it.
The front line is too long and there are always weaknesses.
Zhao Xiaobing always had a premonition that the enemy would take this opportunity to take action and take a bite. Where is it?
In the past, he could predict the size of the war based on his remaining memories, and his approximate time and place, even who his opponent was.
Now there are too few such unforeseeable wars, and there are almost no major wars, so he feels very uneasy.
The most terrible thing for blind people to walk. If they don’t do it well, they will fall into the pit. Zhao Xiaobing’s palms are sweating. When he thought about it carefully, he felt how fragile his defense line was and was vulnerable.
The next day, when they arrived at the General Staff, the brothers stood upright and waited. Ye Bocheng said that he still did not notice the enemy's movements.
He asked: "We went in and the army was 60,000, and the migrant workers helped us. Why did the Nichi battle suffer so much?"
Ye Bocheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It can only be speculation at the moment. Xifan should be too fierce in counterattack, or there are new means, even including introducing strong support. Yihuo, Yihuo..."
Zhao Xiaobing asked him what he was confused about? He said it.
"Yihuo was a mistake in military commander Hu Yong's judgment and a serious mistake in the deployment of troops." Ye Bocheng said slowly.
This is impossible. As a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time, how could Hu Yongjun make such a low-level mistake?
Zhao Xiaobing ignored it very much.
"The enemy knows that we must go to support, what will they do?" Zhao Xiaobing paused clearly and continued to ask?
"Avoid the real and attack the virtual, attack the unpreparedness, and attack our weaknesses."
"What are our weaknesses for the Mongolian army?"
"Guazhou and Wuwei are both possible. Hetao Lingzhou and Yan'an Prefecture are also possible."
Zhao Xiaobing nodded and continued to ask: "You judge back to back, where will the enemy come from?"
"If you march in the desert in the west, you can only attack sneakily. The grassland in the north is wide, which is convenient for cavalry fighting, and it is more beneficial to them. We judge that the enemy will come from Pingliang and Jiuyuan, and the possibility of coming from Jiuyuan is extremely high." Ye Bocheng replied for a moment of thought.
"In this way, how do you send troops to set up a formation?" he asked.
"The ones ahead remain unchanged, lure the enemy out and transfer the troops from Ankang in Raofeng Pass to head north to prepare for war."
He said: "In this way, Chen Jilin will be notified to draw two brigades to Guanzhong to transfer the shortcuts, so that Zhu Youcai will immediately transfer the three reserve brigades in Guanzhong into the regular army and transfer them to Chen Jishan, Li Xingzhi, and Wang Fei to control them. The Intelligence Department will continue to expand the scope of reconnaissance."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaobing immediately made a decision and asked Ye Bocheng to arrange it.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaobing was silencing the sun in the yard. It was the most awesome time. He knew that the enemy was going to come, but he didn't know when and where he came from?
He called Luo Zekuan to inquire about the logistics and supplies support.
Luo Zekuan said that there is no need to worry about the entire northern front line. There is sufficient military rations, weapons, ammunition, and arrows are sent to the front line in time and never dragged it.
In recent years, a large number of warehouses have been built in Baoji, and the materials stored are enough for the new army to use for more than one year.
In the past two years, in order to adapt to the terrain of Guanzhong and transport materials, he has made 3,000 wide-axle civilian ox carts and sold them to the people of the border areas at a cost price. The purpose is to requisition on site during wartime and speed up the delivery of military funds.
Therefore, he is confident in the current material guarantee.
Luo Zekuan suddenly remembered something, saying that Luocheng Military Industry has built two new mortars with larger calibers and longer ranges, which are said to have reached 5,000 steps.
