Chapter 286: deploy

The movement of the British troops at the beachhead was reported to the Joint Command of the First Mixed Brigade and the Third Guard Brigade. Liu Yongfu combined the information reported by Buenos Aires and quickly analyzed that the British garrison was stagnant. s reason.
"Liu Liu, Deputy Chief He, please see both"
Shen Fushan, the brigade commander of the Third Guard Brigade, pointed to the march map on the desktop and said, "The British Expeditionary Fleet is divided into two routes, one of which focuses on the offshore of the port of Buenos Aires and confronts our army. The other fleet follows the Lapp The mouth of the Latta River is heading up against the current, and there is a large tendency to make a sudden advance towards the inland area of ​​the Parana River. "
"Advancing along the river, destroying or occupying the area along the Parana River, on the one hand, mobilizing and exhausting our reserve forces, on the other hand, indirectly supporting the local armed forces in Argentina, and finally combining the Brazilian Army support forces to launch a violent attack on our army.
The British appetite is not small. "
He Yanliang guessed the other side's strategic intentions based on the British intelligence.
"The inland towns that let our army defend themselves heavily chose to break through the coastal port area and attack upstream along the inland river, and directly inserted into our army's core area. The British used it in the Opium War thirty or forty years ago. With this move, warships occupied Zhenjiang, and large army soldiers approached Nanjing. They forced the Qing government to negotiate peacefully and accept the conditions conducive to the British military. Now in the past few decades in the world, the British wanted to repeat their tricks. Applying this trick to us is a waste of effort. "
Following He Yanliang's words, Shen Fushan added.
"This time is different from the past. Today ’s National Defense Forces are not the decaying and backward Manchu Green Battalion. Even if the British use the advantages of maritime military forces to attack our army, they will not find any cheap."
From Annan's deployment to the homeland of Han, from the battalion commander's promotion to the main mixed brigade commander, Liu Yongfu had the deepest understanding of the differences between the National Defense Forces and the Manchurian army.
The chaos of the Qing Army ’s green battalion eaten out, drank soldiers ’blood, and smoked a lot of chaos. Even the Guangxi Feng Zicai Division, which defeated the peasant rebel army several times, could not stop the chaos.
In contrast, for the National Defense Forces, the soldiers and officers and soldiers were verified by the general staff statistics, and then issued by the National Bank to the account opened by the soldiers in the bank. Each soldier's release of soldiers and soldiers had records to check, which completely resolved the takeover by the army officer. , Army officers are greedy for Mexican troops.
Military guarantees, soldier casualties, and field rewards for soldiers participating in the army are the basis for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces. At the same time, learning from the experience of future generations, systematic training of professional officers, and rational optimization of the structure of the troops are to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the expanded National Defense Forces is not serious Another important measure of decline.
Before the outbreak of the war in Argentina, there were hundreds of thousands of national defense forces. After the outbreak, the total number of troops including the supplementary field army, the garrison, and the militia expanded to more than 300,000, including 220,000 frontline troops and local left-behind troops. About 100,000.
Of the nearly 200,000 troops newly expanded, more than half of the grass-roots officers were drawn from other forces, while the other officers were temporarily promoted to military academy trainees like Wang Shizhen, Lu Rongting and other veterans.
Following the policy of the German Army Corps after the end of the First World War, a large number of officers were retained as deputy troops in peacetime. This guarantees that when a war breaks out, according to the organizational structure of the shelf army, one army is quickly divided into two basic troops, and supplementary recruitment New recruits make up new combat units.
The combat effectiveness of newly expanded troops has declined to a certain extent in the early stages of integration, but under the new model of grass-roots officers and key noncommissioned officers, the new recruits can help recruits adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as possible and complete the conversion of recruits to a qualified war.
The main force of the First Mixed Brigade was divided into three parts and divided into other battlefields. The soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade directly commanded by Liu Yongfu only had more than 1,000 people, and the 6,000 soldiers of the Third Guard Brigade were filled with about half of the recruits.
The strength of the First Mixed Brigade, the Third Guard Brigade, the Engineering Corps, Artillery, and Logistics combined. Liu Yongfu's three men barely had more than 10,000 troops. When dispatching a combat mission two days ago, Liu Yongfu once asked Li Mingyuan He put forward a proposal, hoping that the army child boy battalion can be deployed from the rear to increase the strength of the army, but was rejected by Li Mingyuan.
Adhering to the military tradition of the Taiping Army and the major powers of later generations, the National Defense Forces also have a formed scout force.
But unlike the Scouts of the Taiping Army, the Scout camp only recruits orphans from the war, orphans recruited from the mainland, and some civilian families who have a strong willingness to join the army.
After several years of expansion, the number of young soldiers between the ages of twelve and fifteen exceeded 10,000, the number remained at about 15,000, and the number of young soldiers under the age of twelve was 40,000. .
The boy camp is a supplement and improvement to the army middle school education. At least two thirds of the young students who enter the army middle school every year come from the boy camp. Therefore, many civilian families regard joining the boy camp as a shortcut to military officers, sending boys in succession. Entered the boy camp to read.
Among the generals of the Taiping Army in the later years, such as the British King Chen Yucheng, Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang, Hu Wang Chen Kunshu, Xun Wang Tan Tiyuan, and Li Mingyuan's father and servant Li Shixian were all born in Tongziying.
The young soldiers of the Taiping Army, who had simple beliefs and were brave in combat, rushed to the front lines of the war, but they often also became victims of the Taiping's high-level troops to win victory.
In the offensive in Wuhan, the boy camp of Chen Yucheng's unit acted as a death squad, with heavy casualties. The Jiading defensive battle, more than a hundred boy camp soldiers retreated to cover the main force of the Taiping Army, and all died.
The high-level corruption, the army's declining army, the soldiers at the bottom of the boy's battalion sacrificed for nothingness and bleeds, but in the end all they got was the betrayal and abandonment of the Taiping army.
The cruel and ruthless people in power showed naked in the war. As a South American Chinese leader whose ideal has never been destroyed, Li Mingyuan could not use the worship of the boy camp youth to consume them in the fierce war in advance.
Not only was Liu Yongfu's request rejected, but the requirements of those who came from the remnants of the Taiping Army and the old Taiping Army to recruit more than ten-year-old teenagers to form a death squad to attack the city were also rejected one by one.
The wording was severely reprimanded by Li Mingyuan, and Liu Yongfu's newly raised pride was immediately extinguished. He formed an organizational team with his deputy He Yanliang and the intimate staff who were familiar with him. When formulating the battle plan, Liu Yongfu had a little more Be careful and cautious.
"His Highness in Buenos Aires personally sat in the town. The British army was difficult to break through there. The Patos lagoon in the new capital is connected to the open sea. The large warships of the British army cannot approach the port area. The threat to the new capital is limited, but if The British warships were not entangled with our army, leaving only one army unit to occupy the beachhead and arranging fortifications to contain our operations, while their navy frigates and gunboats gave up their entanglement with our army and attacked Rosario and Parana all the way. City, Santa Fe city, wouldn't that disrupt our army's combat deployment? "
After Liu Yongfu calmed down for a few minutes, he raised his concerns.
"It's not impossible."
He Yanliang frowned, one arm on the table, thoughtfully.
"Executives, front command headquarters telegram!"
While the three men were thinking about the countermeasures, the officer on duty in the telegraph room hurriedly entered the war room and gave out a telegram to Liu Yongfu.
"Okay, more than 14,000 mines have been deployed in the basins of Santa Fe and Parana. The mines of the Inland River Fleet are laying mines in the waters outside Rosario. The Frontline Command ordered our army to land to the British tonight. The army launched an attack, and the delayed British fleet made inroads into the inland basin, trying to find time for the inland river fleet to deploy mines. "
Liu Yongfu sent three telegrams in a row and handed the telegram to He Yanliang and Shen Fushan Road. "Five days ago, the Inland River Fleet also transported a batch of weapons for the first mixed brigade. They thought they had just finished the inland river transport mission. Considering that the navy is moving fast, mines have been laid in the hundreds of kilometers of Santa Fe and Parana rivers, and mines are being laid in the waters around Rosario. With the blockage of mines all over the inland river, the British fleet wants to move freely through Pakistan. The Rana River is not that simple. "
"Yes, the waters of the La Plata estuary are wide, it is difficult to deploy mines, and the effect is small. They simply do not lay mines within 300 kilometers of the banks of the La Plata river. The deployment of mines on the Parana River encourages them to sail boldly to Rosario, and by the way, try the power of Han's characteristic mines. "
Shen Fushan put down the telegram and said with a smile on his face.
Mine mines, grenades, machine guns, and mines have relatively low technical content ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A mercenary-born Li Mingyuan knows a lot about these weapons that he often comes into contact with. In field operations, use existing weapons or equipment to deploy Surprisingly, finding and evading local landmines are all necessary professional skills. Therefore, in some specific military industries, with the command of Li Mingyuan, the armed forces of the National Defense Forces are much higher than Western officers in the same period.
Press-type, trigger-type, floating-type, electrolyte-type, various types of mines have been continuously invented, and then experimentally improved and mass-produced, and finally stored up until the day when they are needed.
Liu Yongfu couldn't understand the principle of the structure of mines, but after seeing the simulated mines attack tactics of naval exercises, he could intuitively feel the power of mines attack.
The major strategic guidelines have been properly formulated by the front command headquarters. What Liu Yongfu and others have to do is to complete specific tactical deployments in accordance with the command of the general command.
"Communicate the command of the frontline command of officers above the battalion level. All regiments and battalions should be ready for battle before 12 o'clock, and launch a raid on time at 12.40 midnight!"
"Yes!"……
