"It's the only one who has one heart with us after becoming an official. If you want me to say, I will try my best to become Leszek. In the future, I will liberate Quanyong Dalim!" The worker with the towel continued.

"Hahaha, you just wanted to fight the whole country when you first started fighting Zhongnan and SMS SMS?" The other workers laughed and said.

"I really hope to win the battle. If the devil in SMS Simak wins, wouldn't we have to go back to the hard days of the past?" The worker wearing the hat sighed again.

"I won't lose, I believe it. Our revolutionary army brothers are not comparable to SMS soldiers."

......

"Here, and here, mainly in these two directions."

Comrades Rebio and Comrade Sherman rode forward between the teams on horses. The First and Second Revolutionary Army of the Central South Government was led by the two of them and marched in the direction of Central South Central.They had just crossed Kunqi Mountain and reached the central part of the South Central Region.There is no danger to defend here, which is extremely conducive to the maneuvering of cavalry.It is hard to imagine why the troops of SMS Siemag chose to retreat and take the initiative to put them into the central region. Obviously, relying on the dangerous mountains to block them like the revolutionary army back then is the real way.But since the enemy has chosen this way and the situation is favorable to our army, let's move forward boldly.

"Therefore, to the north is Zhongnan City, the former metropolis of the Central South region, and to the northeast is the most affluent plain area occupied by SMS. It is close to the Tianyang River and Wuyang Lake, a tributary of the Yongjiang River, and it is SMS He will never give up here and continue to retreat." Commander Rebio pointed to the direction ahead and said to Commander Sherman.

"What do you think? Follow the Great Plains all the way to the north to attack Zhongnan City, or use it to directly attack Tianyang Lake? Attack SMS's lair?" Commander Sherman asked looking at the Great Plains in front of him.

Earl Simac's army kept retreating, as if planning to lure the enemy into it.Rebio and Sherman are not idiots, they are veterans who have experienced many battles, so they can naturally guess Earl Simac's plan.It is nothing more than a flanking detour, from the left line of Kunqi Mountain to the area outside the pass to cut off the supply line, so as to complete the grand strategy of making dumplings.This is a very shrewd strategy, but unfortunately, the strategy is very clever, and the people who execute the tactics are also very brave, but the army...

"According to the ideas of Southeast Province, our First and Second Revolutionary Army should be divided into two groups, all the way to stabilize the line of Kunqi Mountain, and stationed in the Great Plains in front. Moving forward, we can attack Zhongnan City and divide the Central South region into two sections. In the future, you can help protect the defense line outside the pass and Kunqi at any time, and keep the opponent's surprise attack at any time." Commander Rebio said to Commander Sherman with his pipe in his mouth.

"The other legion will go straight to SMS's base camp and force SMS's eastern troops to come back to rescue them. In this way, the Northern Expeditionary Army in Southeast Province will soon be able to break through the defense line of Tianyang City, so as to send a message to Tianyang Lake and the brave. Advance to the branch of the river and join our army." Commander Rebio continued.

"That's what we think, and the opponent won't be much worse." Commander Sherman said with a smile.

"If I were Linirea or SMS Simak, I would attack the central south with the main force, and then rely on rivers and cities to defend the eastern front, dragging the southeast revolutionary army's internal morale and unwillingness to attack. At that time, the situation will become what they were at the beginning. It was the same as attacking us, and we were defeated one by one." Commander Rebio pointed to the front with his pipe and said.

"You can't fight according to this plan, or in other words, you can't completely follow this plan." Commander Sherman shook his head and said.

"According to the letter from the latent comrades, SMS has assembled [-] troops in the area of ​​Zhongnan City and is ready to go into battle at any time. Our army's total is only this number. If we divide our troops into two groups, if we attack SMS's base camp If the battle cannot be ended quickly, it is very likely that they will be divided and surrounded by the [-] army and fall into a situation where they are fighting on their own."

Commanders Sherman and Commander Rebio got off their horses and watched as the comrades in the army began to prepare for a rest. The cooks began to cook, the breeders fed the horses, and the correspondents began to communicate with each other.Many company committee members were chatting with the recruits to comfort their slightly nervous mood. Guns have no eyes. No matter how much training is usually done, it is not exactly the same as the battlefield after all. At this time, the morale of the soldiers is particularly important.

"The Fafnir Legion said they would send troops to help us keep an eye on the area outside the pass." Commander Rebio said with a pipe in his mouth.

"Do you believe it?" Commander Sherman asked back with a smile.

"I don't believe it!" Commander Rebio replied with a smile.

"They hope that we will lose the battle as soon as possible so that they can take back West Central South. It is even normal to occupy the area outside the customs in the name of assisting in defense." Commander Sherman nodded and said.

"Ouch! The food is good today, but there are so many dishes? How about a little sugar?"

Commander Rebio went to the front of the cook and glanced at the cauldron and the table. He couldn't help being amused. He himself also has a hobby of eating candy, and he often buys toffee and takes it with him occasionally to eat one.Today, it is really rare to share a small spoonful of white sugar every day. Looking at the potatoes next to it, it probably means to eat it with it.

"Comrade Commander!" Comrade cook immediately wiped his hands and saluted.

"Comrade cook has worked hard. You have to prepare so many dishes and also take care of the training. Are you exhausted?" Rebio took out two pieces of toffee from his pocket and pressed them on the cook's hand.

"It's not hard work. I serve the soldiers. They go to fight, and I cook behind. I feel a little lost." The cook gave the toffee to the other comrades in the cooking class, and the two comrades It was passed on to the youngest comrade, leaving only the young cook who was sweating profusely and didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Keep it. It's just a few pieces of candy. We are all comrades serving the revolution. It's nothing." Commander Rebio said with a smile.

"Where is this little comrade from? He looks very fair, is he a child of a rich family?" Commander Sherman asked the little comrade.

"I came from famine in the south and north. Originally, my parents were in the magic crystal business. Later, I was bullied by the local chief and robbed the shop, so I had no choice but to flee. Fortunately, I was taken in here, my parents I also work as a worker in the factory, and I have a good life." The little comrade cook replied with a sigh.

"Warlords are rampant, and even businessmen can't continue, and they are forced to flee. Small businessmen are afraid of our abolition of private ownership like a tiger, but facing those greedy local governors and warlords, don't they fall into the wolf's den?" Commander Sherman After listening to the ins and outs, he sighed.

"I have an idea." Commander Rebio suddenly raised his head and said to Commander Sherman.

"Coincidentally, I also have an idea." Comrade Sherman and Comrade Rebio looked at each other and said with a smile

244 Northeast and Northern Expeditionary Army

"During the drought, I asked Comrade Ferrex when I returned to the government city for the first time, how many compatriots do you think came from other regions in Central and South during the drought?" Commander Rebio and Commander Sherman also both ate Sitting on a stone beside them, they held bowls and talked to each other while eating lunch that was no different from other comrades soldiers.

"Is there [-]? After all, the refugees from the southwest and southeast must be counted?" Commander Sherman asked Commander Rebio, breaking the bread and soaking it in rice soup.

"It's almost this number, and counting the compatriots in the other two places, there will be at least 17." Commander Rebio said, mixing a piece of toffee into the rice soup.

"I'm going to write a proposal to the central government. With so many compatriots, even if it's a hundred or two hundred, it's very conducive to work. My idea is to join forces during this period, focusing on attacking Zhongnan City and defending the enemy. Then, it depends on the work of these comrades." Commander Rebio said.

"I just don't know how many comrades are willing to go. After all, this is a very dangerous thing. Working behind the enemy's rear is much more dangerous than fighting. Many comrades in the Central Province and the North, Central and South regions often sacrificed for no reason. Many times in the It took months after the sacrifice to learn the news, and it is speculated that they have been killed." Commander Sherman sighed.

"But we can't just rely on the work of these comrades. We must also try our best to borrow Kunqi Mountain and Svia Mountain in the west, so that some enemies will be stuck in this burden. First, we can control the middle of these two places before we can attack outside the pass. On this basis, we will attack northward, conquer Zhongnan City, and gain the initiative in the war." Commander Rebio said decisively.

"The Fafnir Legion is a big problem. If we want to completely control the entire South Central South, we have to surround them. With the character of these bourgeoisie, they will definitely not sit still."

"Deploy [-] troops, return to the outside of the pass, and attack all the noble territories south of the two major mountain ranges. If he dares to come for reinforcements, then we will find a way to cut off their retreat from the north of Kunqi Mountain and make dumplings for them. They If we don't come for reinforcements, then we will proceed according to the plan and focus on attacking Zhongnan City, so as to gain the ability to go out on three sides. Once Zhongnan City is liberated, if their soldiers want to make a detour and enter outside the pass to make trouble, then there will be no return. "Commander Sherman picked up a branch and said while drawing on the ground.

"The best situation is that the comrades in Zhongnan City and Tianyang Lake can successfully buy us time to complete the combat deployment. If the situation is better, then we will be ready to support at any time, and we will cooperate with them internally and externally to prepare for battle." Rebio swallowed a mouthful of bread and said.

"The only question is whether the Northern Expeditionary Army in the southeast can understand us. If they make the mistakes of the old warlords and respond to our actions with incomprehension and self-interest, then we are likely to face a callback from the [-] army. Pressure. Although the troops of SMS Siemag are not as well-armed as our revolutionary army, and their combat tactics and will are not as good as ours, but in the face of numbers, it is difficult for us to make breakthroughs." Commander Sherman frowned.

"They will understand." Commander Rebio raised his head and laughed.

"Before I came, Comrade Sun Boyang stopped me to talk to me about the situation on the front line. He told me that as long as the revolutionary comrades in the Northern Expedition Army are strong enough, they will never make mistakes."

......

"Down with the warlords, down with the warlords, get rid of the nobles, get rid of the nobles!"

Soldiers in blue military uniforms strode forward one after another. They carried long guns and backpacks on their backs and marched in neat steps.In front of each troop there is an officer in uniform. Even if they pass by a village, they will never break up and loot the people. Army of War.

This kind of strict discipline also prevents the troops of other warlords from doing bad things laxly. Warlords still have to face. Although they are all real warlords, they all hate the people below calling them warlords or separatist leaders.They always want to claim to be dedicated to the revolution, to fight for the revolution, and to be the most loyal members of Demercotte.It's a good thing no one makes a comparison. When they see such a well-disciplined army, they can only pretend to shout, asking their soldiers to be more careful and restrained, so as not to embarrass the 'general'.

"Ma'am, Victor's soldiers are really good. If these two legions were given to me, then I would have unified the entire southeast province long ago." Said a fat warlord's envious opponent.

"My lord, why don't we bribe them? Victor must not have as much money as us." One of the officers under his command came up with a bad idea.

"Revolutionaries don't love money." The fat warlord sighed.

"They don't like money, they just know how to do things with their brains, and they don't take favors from anyone. I originally planned to buy some military students to fight under us, but I didn't expect that no one came because they promised a lot of money. .” The fat warlord sighed again.

"Mom! Is this the revolutionary army that Dad said?" A little girl with blond hair ran out of the house and pointed at the soldiers in blue clothes.

"Little girl, we are not the revolutionary army of Zhongnan."

Wearing a military uniform, Weiss walked over with the gentle-faced officer next to him and said with a smile.

"We are the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Northern Expeditionary Army fighting for the brave Dalim. Not the comrades of the Central South Revolutionary Army." Weiss patted the little girl's head and said.

"Then why are you like the revolutionary army?" The little girl asked with her head tilted.

"Because it was taught by a master." Weiss and the gentle-faced officer laughed and said.

With the help of the Revolutionary Army of the Central South Government, the Revolutionary Army in Southeast Province is no longer comparable to the old feudal army.Under the operation of the Zhongnan Arsenal and several arsenals in the southeast, they realized the musketization, completely changed the way of fighting, and moved closer to the style of the Central South Revolutionary Army.After all, the teachers are all from Zhongnan, and all they teach are from Zhongnan.

This also led to a great similarity between the revolutionary army in the southeastern province and the revolutionary army in the south central province.Under the leadership of the cadets and officers of the Guangming Military Academy, democracy was practiced in the army and a revolutionary spirit was cultivated.Officer Demercotte served as the company committee and platoon committee at all levels, allowing him to command the guns instead of letting the army support itself, forming its own independent force like the old army of the kingdom.

"Firearms and cannons have replaced the long swords and bows. The swords and spears are destined to be eliminated, and will be hidden in history from now on. I heard that the comrades of the Revolutionary Army of the Central South Government have researched a new way to change bombs. It can improve the speed of reloading a lot. I also heard from my teacher that the workers there have already begun to explore the possibility of partial reloading at the back of the gun. Do you know? Even for weapons such as cannons, the Zhongnan government has already There are many kinds of research and development." Weiss and the officer beside him said.

"The Zhongnan government is worthy of being the birthplace of the revolution. If I have the conditions, I would also like to go to Zhongnan to see the world there." The comrade officer next to him said with his hands behind his back.

"But isn't loading from the rear a bit inelegant? Our muskets are like partners. We reload like feeding. Reloading from the back is a bit inelegant." The officer next to him said again.

"Then if I delay the teacher to get it later, do you want it?" Weiss asked with a smile.

"Remember to call me the first time, I'll be waiting anytime." The officer next to him laughed and said happily with Weiss.

"After half a year, the Northern Expedition is finally about to start." Weiss walked up a small slope and looked forward and sighed.

"Fighting for the liberation of Yongdalim and liberating the whole of Zhongnan is our first step. I think all the students have done a good job. They all led a team to show the style that a revolutionary army should have. None of them People embarrass us." The officer next to him also sighed.

"If you want to be an official, if you want to get money, this place won't accept it." Weiss walked down the slope with the officer and said.

"Afraid of war, afraid of death, look for another job." The officer's face also showed infinite fascination, he couldn't help but pressed his hand on the command sword at his waist, and his heart began to beat faster with the excitement. jumped up.

"Xiyes, your infantry regiment has to take on the most important task of attacking the fortifications. According to the instructions of the Revolutionary Army Command, the whole army will send the best fighters to your infantry regiment, but if it is equivalent, you may be It's time to start the most important battle." Weiss also said with a serious face.

"What's wrong with this? Do you remember what the teacher said? You can't be afraid of sacrifice and suffering when you start a revolution. Our teacher is an old soldier who fought in the Kunqi Mountain battle. He can even fight in that kind of battle." Keep going, why should we worry about the future?" Xiyes said indifferently.

"On the contrary, I am very happy. Being able to lead such a unit to become the vanguard of the revolution, and serve as the sharp edge of the revolution to pierce the devil's heart is something that many classmates and comrades envy. Weiss, guess what, if I say I want to change positions with other students, I don't know how many students would want to change positions with me!" Xies said with a confident smile.

"I think so too! Comrade Xiyes, you must be safe and see the day when the Republic is established!"

Weiss and Xiyes stopped in their tracks and saluted each other face to face, injecting their own thousands of words and their most sincere blessings into this salute.

"Take care, long live the revolution!" Weiss shook hands with Xiyes and said.

"Treasure, long live the revolution." Xiyes replied with a sincere handshake.

......

"It's not exactly what I thought it would be."

General Linerea put down the binoculars and pressed the city wall with one hand and fell silent. It took a long time before he spit out such a comment.

"This kind of troops, this kind of morale, and this kind of discipline. It's like the revolutionary army of the Central South government, like the teachers and students who are connected with each other."

245 Attacking Tianyang City

"Fortification of the city can no longer be compared with the past. The tactics of defending against danger and relying on the city to consume the opponent are obviously outdated." General Linirea said regretfully.

"In the past, magicians were extremely scarce arms. They were delicate and rare, and they needed assistance and magic recovery. But now the artillery is different from the past. The artillery is not a person. He does not need caring services. As long as there are enough shells, they You can fight until dark, until you're exhausted."

"But doesn't the artillery also need a lot of soldiers to operate and maintain?" the lieutenant asked, wearing a bright silver armor, walking to General Linirea.

"It's very different. Compared with the maintenance, manipulation, and support required by the magician, the maintenance, manipulation, and support required by the artillery are like a world. I'm sure that in the future, the magicians will gradually break away from the main combat arms and appear. Among them, the middle-level It will probably appear as auxiliary arms, special arms, and scouts. Only high-level war magicians will continue to shine in war."

"The era of magicians is over." Linirea finally made up his mind.

"Next, it will be the era of artillery."

"Adjutant, you can mobilize two more cavalry battalions to try an assault on the enemy's flank. I want to see how the morale and training level of this army is." General Linirea ordered again.

"Of order!" said the adjutant salutingly.

"Also, you don't need to wear this armor anymore. It's meaningless. If you hit your body with a firecracker or a cannon, you'll die. It's better to reduce your weight so that you can avoid the guns faster." General Linirea pressed the button. Looking at the city wall, he smiled and said.

"But I'm wearing enchanted armor, General." The adjutant asked puzzled.

"Then you should wear it. You are still young, and your days will be long." General Linilea said, picking up the binoculars again.

......

One artillery piece after another was transported to the high ground by horses. The two northern army regiments under Commander Victor had a total of 53 artillery pieces, and there were as many as 36 artillery piece here, which can be said to be quite rich.These cannons can't help but make other warlords feel envious for a while, so many cannons are really prodigal.If they dare not use it so richly, they must cherish the careful allocation of shells.

This time the combat deployment was mainly divided into several offensive directions under the decision of Marshal Oleg.A total of 5000 people from the [-]st Division of the [-]st Northern Expedition Army and the [-]st and [-]nd Infantry Brigade of the [-]nd Division attacked Tianyang City as the main force, and concentrated the most superior forces to conquer Tianyang City.

The 500rd Brigade of the [-]nd Division of the First Northern Expedition Army, and the [-]st and [-]rd Cavalry Regiments of the [-]st Army Cavalry Division had a total of [-] men conducting mobile operations between Tianyang City and Tianyang Lake. Their task was to control the In this area, attack the reinforcements supporting Tianyang City.If possible, then continue to move forward, control the Tianyang River further south in one fell swoop, and hold the southern part of the Eastern Front in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The entire army of the Second Army of the Northern Expedition and the Second Cavalry Regiment of the First Army were ready to enter the battlefield as reserves.Their primary purpose is to complete the encirclement of the Tianyang City area with the First Army, and then divide their troops to the Tianyang City area and the Yongjiang tributary defense line to the west, where they will start a decisive battle with the enemy's second line of defense.

The offensive tactics of the entire Eastern Front are actually very simple, that is, surround one place, intercept one place, and let one place go.Encircle Tianyang City, send some troops to intercept the direction of Tianyang Lake, and then open up a position with the troops on the tributary of Yongjiang to prevent its attack.General Linilea formed a triangular defensive front with Tianyang City, the tributaries of the Yongjiang River, and Tianyang Lake. He planned to take advantage of the favorable location of the river to send troops to support Tianyang City when advancing, and rely on river antennas for defense when retreating.The center of this plan, Tianyang City must not be breached. Now, the victory or defeat of the war on the Eastern Front is gathered in this city area.

......

"Marshal Oleg." Commander Xiyes ran into the temporary command post and saluted.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained." Marshal Oleg smiled and waved.

"At [-] o'clock this afternoon, our army will launch a siege operation. At that time, the main force will advance fifteen kilometers to prepare for the battle. The first and second infantry brigades of the second division of the first army will advance to the surrounding urban areas and clear the inside When the infantry is enough to advance under the enemy's wall, I will let the artillery concentrate their firepower to bombard one of the opponent's walls, and then your infantry regiment must take the lead and prepare to attack."

After going through so many storms, Marshal Oleg obviously looks much more stable than before. He has a restrained personality, is amiable to everyone, and never fights with others.Even Ticheren lamented that although Marshal Oleg is relatively conservative in his stance, he is definitely a good friend in personal terms.

"Yes, I will definitely complete the combat mission and be the first to lead troops to break through the city." Xiesi replied while sitting upright.

"Don't be so cautious, Xiyes. Your task is very heavy, and you will definitely be a general in the future." Oleg said with a smile.

"Have you thought about the proposal I gave you? Do you have that plan?" Oleg continued to ask.

"Marshal, now that the war is imminent, the future Northern Expedition will not end overnight. I think it's better to wait until there is peace." Xiyes replied with some embarrassment.

"How can this be delayed? You are not young..." Marshal Oleg continued to dissuade.

"Marshal." Xiyes stood up and said.

"Leave my subordinates and go back to prepare the battle plan." Xiyes saluted again, turned around and walked out in unison.

"If you were Ticheren, he would definitely agree, do you believe it?" A general next to him came out and said.

"Hmph, you don't need to remind me." Oleg replied with some dissatisfaction.

"Marshal Oleg, you have to pay attention. Although you are now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, you are second only to Commander Victor. But you should also think about your future. I know, there is still Ticheren in Guangming City." The general said with a smile.

"Ticheren is now echoing in the army and in the army. Which of these young officers is not his student? Which one is not his follower? You have to think about it, Commander Victor's health is obviously not as good as before. He's coughing badly, it's hard to say what the future will be."

"I know this, but everyone generally supports Sun Boyang's ideas, what can I do?" Oleg said impatiently, spreading his hands.

"What should I do? Marshal, you are also an old man in the political circle, why don't you understand even a little basic stuff?" The general came over and pressed his head on the table again and said.

"Batches, with different reasons, all cleaned up. No one left! You don't have to worry about them rebelling later. With the support of our generals' army, they can be easily suppressed." The general clenched his fist. said in a low voice.
