Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"As for the abandonment of Nanzhen, it is even simpler." Comrade Sherman also joined the discussion and said.

"Nanzhen abandoned the defense, and we quickly advanced through the slightly lower terrain. Inserting an important place in the Golden Mountain, caused huge defensive pressure on the enemy on both sides. In this way, the Battle of the Golden Mountain can make a breakthrough. "

"Derek is very cunning, we still need to be more cautious." Shargo thought for a while and said.

"You said, will the enemy have their own problems, and something happened in the rear, which made them mess up and can't organize defense at all." Penny asked on a whim.

"That can't be counted on. It's better to expect the opponent to fight on their own than to expect them to have problems on their own, or to count on us to be able to install experimental weapons such as the fire demon lion now. Let's not pin our hope of victory on unrealistic illusions, and fight steadily. Do what you can, and don’t try to touch what is unrealistic. When fighting a war, you must prepare for the worst and fight with the highest standard. Always expect emergencies, which is not the style of our revolutionary army.” Commander Sherman shook his head and said in disapproval.

"It's true. We can't pin the fantasy of victory on others. Our revolutionary army has won a battle over the years, relying on the change of the other side to win? It is all achieved by the dedication of the soldiers and the actual plan. The victory of the war. In my opinion, what if the enemy will not have turmoil? With their current fighting spirit and current defensive strength, they will not be able to hold on for long." Shargo nodded in agreement.

"Don't count on those experimental weapons either. The last time they were used was only as an experiment, and there is still a long time before they are actually installed. To be honest, that time also scared me into a cold sweat. If those important experiments The steam car is destroyed, and the comrades inside will be in danger." Comrade Sherman put on his military uniform again and said to the other comrades.

"How long will it take for those things to be installed? Can we see them appear again in this battle?" Penny asked curiously.

"It can be as short as one year, or as long as two or three years. At least until the end of the Southwest Campaign, it is absolutely impossible to expect them to fight again. Even the 'Elephant Vulture' will be difficult for us to continue to install new ones within half a year. The logistics support of magicians and elite dwarf observers all need to be trained intensively, and it is impossible to have more air force support for a long time." Comrade Sherman also said very regretfully.

"It's a pity. If our army can deploy these new weapons on a large scale, we won't have to worry about attacking the enemy."

"Yes, the only thing that can be expected in the near future is rifled muskets. According to the decision of the Military Reform Department, the revolutionary army should further expand the equipment of rifled muskets and replace some old types of muskets. But according to them, in two or three It is unlikely that all muskets will be replaced with rifled muskets within this year, and at least two-thirds of the troops should be retained to wait for the subsequent adjustment of new muskets." Comrade Sherman recalled the rear documents and said to everyone.

"Is there an updated one?"

"Don't worry about those, those updated ones should not be installed within a year or two, just like other experimental weapons, you can't count on them." Sherman pointed to the map again and said.

"Charge, you lead five thousand cavalry to prepare. Once the enemy chooses to abandon the north and south sides, immediately rush into the enemy's rear as a vanguard to make a detour and cut off the enemy's logistical supplies. The troops you lead must be prepared for mobile operations. Get ready, once the enemy's first-line troops on Tiger Mountain are ready to attack, retreat immediately, and assist Pene to hold on to the place abandoned by the enemy." Commander Sherman issued an order.

"Yes!" Chargo immediately pressed down his big-brimmed hat, saluted again and continued to listen attentively.

"Comrade Peigne, you and Comrade Lambritt are leading the [-]nd Brigade of the [-]nd Division of [-] troops to prepare to build a new barracks at the place where the enemy abandoned their defenses. It will be used as a response when Chargot retreats, and the second is to avoid the enemy Sending additional reinforcements turned the second line of defense into a solid defense line again, so that our previous efforts were wasted and we were dragged into the long siege swamp again."

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Penny and Langbritt immediately saluted.

"The other main forces, including the [-]st Division, other cavalry battalions and artillery units, will continue to prepare for the attack on the front line, looking for the enemy's loopholes to prepare for the attack. A new batch of logistical ammunition will be shipped early next month, artillery comrades We must take responsibility in the upcoming battle, this time the logistics transported more shells than last time, we must not be stingy, and boldly bombard the enemy."

"Finally, is the commander of the [-]st Brigade of the [-]nd Division here?" Commander Sherman raised his head and asked again.

"Here! The commander of the First Brigade, Second Division, and First Brigade of the First Revolutionary Army, reported by Neyette!" A thin comrade stood up and saluted Commander Sherman after shaking for a while.

"You want to organize two elite troops of about 500 people to complete two important tasks. Can you do it?" Commander Sherman raised his head and asked.

"Please tell me that there is nothing I can't handle." Comrade Neatt replied with a smile.

"The first troop must follow the boundary line between the plateau and the mountains, bring sufficient supplies, and prepare to detour to the rear of Taige Mountain, completely cutting off the connection between the plateau and the southwestern interior. And this troop must at least ensure that it can be found by the enemy. And deploy troops to attack and defend for more than seven days, can it be done?" Commander Sherman asked.

"Then I want the support of the cavalry. I can take the troops there myself. As long as I have the support of the cavalry, I can bring most of my comrades back." He said with a smile that was scarier than crying.

"Yes, Comrade Shargo will meet you."

"Another 500 troops will go to Taige Mountain to provide support to the comrades there, and tell Comrade Sumarokov there that we urgently need a major event that can change the situation of the battle, and this matter is beyond his ability. "

"You don't need to say, I have taken both tasks, but I can only assure you that one will be a success, and the other is because I can't lead the team, so I can't tell you that it will be a success." Neert Comrade replied.

"That's enough," Sherman said with a smile, shaking hands with Comrade Neatt.

"There will be comrades to help you, safe journey, come back soon Comrade Neatt."

362 Southwest Portal Wide Open

The situation across the plateau is becoming more tense every day, with the end of the long winter and the arrival of spring.The snow on the plateau also began to melt, forming a series of impressive rivers, spreading across the entire Taige plateau.These places that were small streams a few months ago turned into big rivers in a blink of an eye, dividing the Taige Plateau into several parts, and the terrain changed suddenly, making it impossible to say the same as before.

The rivers descending from Tiger Mountain and other northern peaks once again showed the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, which also made Derek and others sad and happy.The good news is that with these rivers, not only can we retreat to the plateau, but we can also obstruct each river in stages, waiting for the logistics of the revolutionary army to fail to keep up.But the worry is also because of this. Several rivers run through the north and south. If the enemy breaks through the line of defense and takes a detour along the river, they will have no way to retreat even if they want to.

"I've been feeling restless for the past few days, and I feel that something big is about to happen. Guys, please help me recall what is not well formulated. Is there any mistake?" General Derek sat In the big tent of the military camp in Nancheng, he asked several of his trusted officers.

"General, our army's deployment plan has reached the extreme, and there is no need to change it. We have observed these days that the enemy army is completely acting according to our plan. As soon as the time comes, they will definitely fall into our trap." An officer who came to Southwest from Central South with Derek said with a smile.

"What's the situation with the deployment of the whole army?" General Derek asked again.

"According to the plan, we resolutely abandoned the defense after the enemy tried to attack Beizhen, and then burned down the military town. We didn't even leave the town empty. Afterwards, all our troops were deployed on the three-point defense line. Up to now, the enemy has only carried out a tentative attack. , did not dare to go all out to fight us." Another officer said hastily.

"The enemy's troops are already stationed in the Beizhen area? How many troops have crossed the line of defense and gone to the rear?" General Derek asked again with a frown.

"The enemy's defense in Beizhen is very tight. It should be meant to be stationed for a long time. In addition, the number of enemy troops behind us is unknown, but at least it is estimated that there are at least two thousand."

"Two thousand, that's okay." Derek said with a sigh of relief.

"Find a way to get in touch with the troops on the front line of the Tiger Mountains, and ask them to quickly deploy troops to the front line for support. It's a joke to rely on such a small number of troops to fight against twice the number of revolutionary troops." General Derek ordered again.

"However, the enemy army neither took the initiative to attack nor heard other news, which is really strange. Could it be that they are also waiting for support and can only confront us to consume? If that is beneficial to our army, we will also You can try to organize several attacks and try to encircle and eliminate the enemy troops in the rear." General Derek thought again.

"I'm here for General Derek."

A soldier's knock on the door interrupted the conversation of several people, and the orderly standing at the door quickly opened the door to let the soldier in.The soldier looked radiant. He saluted General Derek first and then the other officers before taking out a letter from his pocket and handing it to General Derek.Then he stepped aside and became silent again.

"Letter? Who sent it?" General Derek asked curiously.

"The general will know when you take it apart and have a look." The soldier replied politely.

"Let me see whose letter it is." General Derek smiled gently and stroked his short beard, opened the envelope, and quickly read it.Until 10 minutes passed, General Derek was still staring at the letter with frowning, unable to say a word for a long time.

The other officers who saw this situation did not dare to take a breath, they all stared at General Derek and dared not speak.After another 10 minutes, General Derek slowly raised his head, looked at the soldier with complicated eyes and glanced at the crowd, still unable to say anything.

"General?" an officer asked suspiciously.

"The revolutionary army came to persuade him to surrender, took him out and killed him." General Derek said immediately with a wave of his hand.

"General, you'd better think clearly, and don't bury your back path." The soldier said without changing his face.

"Pull it out!" An officer waved his hand and said immediately.

"Sir James' current situation is very dangerous. What if he joins the Revolutionary Army first and sells you? Think about the future. Sir Nicholas will definitely inherit the throne in the future. If you continue to persist in your obsession, it will be very dangerous. Yes." The soldier continued.

"Shut up!" General Derek cursed angrily.

"Put him in prison, and no one is allowed to see him without my order." General Derek ordered again.

"Yes!" The guard immediately set up the soldier from left to right, and walked quickly towards the door.Only General Derek and the others were left staring wide-eyed, not knowing where to start.

"General." An officer asked tentatively.

"Don't ask, just concentrate on fighting, as long as you can win this battle, you can say anything." General Derek replied decadently sitting on a chair.

......

"That's it, all the way along this road at the foot of the mountain. We are divided into three battalions and go four ways. The front line surveys the terrain along the way, makes signs, and opens the road. The two lines march along the signs, and the remaining troops march during the day Go the other way, and if you find the enemy, prepare to ambush, if the enemy continues to advance to the road at the foot of the mountain, block and divert it, and ensure that the main force goes straight to the enemy's rear through the Nanzhen area."

Comrade Neatt was wearing a classic dark blue military uniform and a small service cap that looked very convenient. He rode a gray horse and gave orders to other comrades.Immediately after receiving the order, Neatt led the troops to the southern border defense line, trying to cross the southern town area to break through the enemy's defense line along the farthest mountain plateau boundary line.Riding on horseback, he looked extraordinarily tall and thin against the backdrop of his well-fitting military uniform. He was probably the thinnest and tallest among so many commander comrades.

"Comrade Neatt, I have warm soup here, would you like some?"

A battalion commander also rode over on his horse, lifted his small iron pot and handed it to Comrade Neyatt and said.Many commander comrades are also former adventurers, such as this one. He used to be an adventurer who could use fire fighting energy before, and joined the Revolutionary Army after the start of the Central South Liberation Campaign and became a revolutionary soldier.

"Go around and see if any comrades are sick or what, leave this soup for them to drink. I am in good health, and I still have a horse to ride, so there is no need to drink this soup." Neatt smiled and waved his hand refused.

"Don't lie to me, Comrade Neatt, you haven't been in good health since you were rescued from Tianyang City Prison. Look, who else in the team is thinner than you?" Comrade Battalion Commander said carelessly. Said.

"I'm already thin, I didn't go to prison." Comrade Neatt touched the small depression on his cheek, but still smiled cheerfully and refused.

"It's okay, I'm in good health. Right now, I'm still focusing on fighting, don't mention those things." Neatt looked at the front and continued.

"Commander Hope, you want a comrade to lead more than [-] people over the mountains to explore the road and see if they can find a new road for marching. Although our army only has more than [-] people, if the enemy deliberately If we patrol and investigate, even if we forcibly break through the enemy's defense, it is basically impossible to reach the target place." Comrade Neatt pointed to the front again and said.

"Okay, I'll give the order right away." Comrade Hope immediately ran back on his horse and disappeared from Neatt's sight.A sudden burst of thick folk songs interrupted Comrade Neatt's thoughts. He and the other comrades subconsciously looked to the other side of the mountain, wanting to see who the owner of the song was.

"What song is this singing? Is it a Southwest song?" Neatt waved and called a local comrade to ask.

"It's the tune of the Southwest song, but I haven't heard the lyrics before. It should be the local characteristics of the plateau." The comrade said to Comrade Neatt after listening carefully for a while.

"Can you call that comrade over here? I want to ask something." Comrade Neatt looked over there again and asked him.

"It should be a local hunter, or it might be a herbal farmer." Another comrade commander said.

"Such comrades are the best. They are familiar with the local roads, and perhaps they can find a more suitable route for marching through them." Comrade Neyatt said to the commander comrade, holding the reins with both hands.

"Comrade Neatt, have you ever been a soldier? Served in the old army?" The comrade commander asked curiously.

"No, why? Don't people who have never been a soldier understand this?" Neatt asked with a smile.

"When I was young, I did everything just to make a living. I knew a lot and knew a lot, and I knew exactly what I was doing. When I grew up, I helped the bookstore owner in Tianyang City to look after the store, collecting accounts, Collecting money, calculating the number of books, and unloading goods are also doing everything. As an adventurer who worked for a while when I was a child, I once taught myself a little magic from an adventurer teacher. If you want to say that the only one who could contact the army before, that is me That may not even be a title for a magic apprentice." Comrade Neatt recalled that he said slowly.

"I thought you were a son-in-law before, no matter how bad you are, you are still a mid-level mage. You have the same temperament as Comrade Brian, and you are quite gloomy." The commander said with a smile.

"I was beaten when I was working. At that time, I was afraid of being beaten and didn't dare to laugh. When I was a child, I was also funny and active. Since I grew up, I seldom dared to do so. I was afraid that my boss would see me and beat me again." Nee Comrade Te couldn't laugh, he fell into the memories of the past and said slowly.

"At that time, I was working as a helper in the bookstore all day long, and the boss would do all the work for him, chopping firewood, cooking, and treating me like a servant. He also guarded me like a thief, lest I read it in my spare time. I learned knowledge from those books. Every time I was caught reading a book by him, I would be beaten up. They always guarded knowledge very strictly. You know, at that time, you had to show your college diploma when buying books, and You have to show your magician certificate."

363 In one go, the surprise soldiers are dispatched

"Later, there was the bourgeois revolution, and I had even more tasks. The store owner began to sell books without looking at the certificate. He had to be recommended to buy books in the store, otherwise he would not sell them. Now I know that those are those from the southeast. The countermeasures of the diehards were to resist Comrade Sun Boyang’s popularization of colleges. At the beginning, not only Central South, but also other provinces, they were afraid that knowledge would become a secret known to everyone.” Comrade Neert touched He stroked the gray horse's hair and said.

"They don't make money, so guarding against people is the same as guarding against thieves, so they are not afraid that the books will not be sold." The commander comrade asked with wide eyes.

"How can there be an ordinary person who can open a bookstore? Either the officials want to give favors to others, or the rich people want to curry favor with the literati to get a chance to be promoted. Or the aristocrats are manipulating behind the scenes. There are no ordinary people who can open a bookstore at that time. Don't count on this to eat." Neatt explained to him.

"Later, there was a revolution in Zhongnan, and I happened to meet a childhood friend in Tianyang City. I didn't know until then that he was buying supplies for our revolutionary army. At that time, I only knew that they were rebels. , I dare not make friends, for fear of being caught by the master. After many exchanges, I found that his habits do not seem to be the same as those of the general army.

"He seems to have identified something. He works hard every day to purchase materials and provide as much help as possible for the base area at that time. At that time, I began to slowly try to talk to him, and gradually learned about the Leszek Doctrine. Gradually I understood our reasoning. That’s how I joined Leszekers after Comrade Sun Boyang came to Zhongnan and became a member of Leszekers.”

"What you said is very common, but that time must have been very thrilling, right?"

"Yeah, those days were dangerous and fulfilling. Every day, I helped him find out which store in the city had the supplies needed by our revolutionary army, and I had to prevent the boss from finding out that I was lazy and slippery. I waited at home at night, waiting for him Bring some articles and newspapers, and study with me at night. At the most dangerous time, a team of soldiers came to search our house and found newspapers. Fortunately, that person was illiterate, and I was in a bookstore. Yes, I got away with stuffing some more money." Comrade Neatt said.

"What happened later? Why didn't I see that comrade?" Comrade Commander asked again.

"How could it be so smooth, we were later discovered by the devils, and we were both caught in prison. I was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and he was executed directly, and died in the spring of [-]." Neatt Said sadly.

"It's a pity, he is a very good comrade." Both of them fell into sighs, they looked at the mountain, and looked at the mountain that gradually turned green, thinking of the hardships of these years.The number of revolutionary comrades who sacrificed like this is innumerable. According to the exact statistics of the internal affairs, comrades who lose contact with each other and are clearly killed by the enemy account for at least one-third of the new recruits every year, about 3000.The enemy's methods are extremely cruel, especially the number of soldiers who died in the Central South Liberation War last year was more than 4000 people died in all parts of Central South that year, and this is not counting the pro-Leszek people With other democrats, the number of sacrifices is incalculable.

The high sacrifice rate is also because many places in Yongdalim are still under the rule of autonomy or warlords, or they are also living under high-pressure rule. Except for Central South, those are the frontiers of struggle.There are now a total of [-] members in Leszek, [-] of whom are in the central south, and nearly half of the remaining [-] are in the southeast, and the sum of the other provinces does not exceed half.Including those in foreign countries, there are only [-] members in Roportia.

The main reason why the number of Leszeks is only two-thirds of Demerkots is nothing more than this. The enemy's hostile attitude towards Leszeks is far greater than anything else. From time to time, large raids will always arrest many When people are thrown into prison, some prisoners will always be caught.The enemy is afraid that Leszek will develop, and would rather kill by mistake than allow Leszek to expand.

Demercotte started in the safe southeast, and there are few people in other places, most of them develop in the southeast.Coupled with the subsequent random expansion, the quality of its members was uneven, and it surpassed its predecessor Leszek and developed to [-] to nearly [-] members, and it has developed to the point where it is the largest player in the world today.

But if you want to say who the warlords, officials, and nobles in the north are afraid of, they are even more afraid of Leszek.These people are extremely destructive, and it is absolutely impossible to compromise with them.Batch after batch were killed, group after group were arrested, and there was still news of revolutionaries everywhere, causing those warlord officials to fall into deep fear.Strict arrests are like this. If it is not suppressed, the social situation in Yiyong Dalim may have flourished like a prairie fire.

"Comrade Neatt, I've brought this comrade back!"

The young soldier came slowly from the foot of the mountain with an old man, and Neatt and the commander immediately got off their horses to meet them. The old man was wearing a bamboo hat and jogging over with a short pole in his hand.Neatt was also taken aback when he saw the old man's attire. He quickened his pace again, ran over to look at the old man, and slowly expressed his doubts.

"Old man, what do you do for a living here? Why do you dress up in this big mountain?" Comrade Neatt asked while holding the old man's hand.

"Master Jun, I'm a local hunter. I make a living by hunting and occasionally gathering herbs." The old man hurriedly said.

"This outfit is also because the snow on the mountain has melted and the river in this valley has thawed again. If we want to go there to collect medicine, we must row a boat, otherwise there is really no way to go." The old man continued.

"Oh, there are valleys and rivers in this place? Can the river lead to Taige Mountain and go straight down to the plateau?" Comrade Neert continued to ask.

"Are you... the master's soldiers?" The old man asked hesitantly.

"We are the revolutionary army, here to liberate the Southwest. You see, our military uniforms are not the same as those of the Southwest Army, they are blue." The comrade commander said hastily, tugging on his clothes.

"Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army is good, the Revolutionary Army is good. It's also the military master, the master." The old man praised quickly as if he didn't understand anything. Neng took out two toffees from his pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand, smiled and continued to ask.

"Old man, we want to cross the river, can you show us what's going on in the river?" Comrade Neert untied the water bottle from his waist and handed it to the old man and asked.

"Crossing the river? Military Lord, how many people do you have? Although the river is not big, the water network extends in all directions. If you are willing to row a bamboo raft, you can still cross it, but you can't eat heavy things, you can't row a boat, only a small boat can go. " The old man quickly accepted the candy thankfully and pointed to Neatt to lead the way.

……

"Being able to go to the plateau, we usually rely on this river for buying and selling things. At this time of the year, we take the winter's goods to the plateau to sell things, or go to other places to do business. Don't think this river is unknown. , but the necessary way for us villagers.” The old man pointed to the small river, which is only 15 meters wide and two and a half meters deep.

This river is really not big, it is better to call it a stream than a river.In the mountains on both sides, it is like a blue rope tied between the two mountains, just floating on it shallowly, like a layer of clouds floating on the sky.The flow of the river is extremely fast, so it is no wonder that people can go back and forth on bamboo rafts. With such a flow, it seems that it is not difficult to jump from one end of the plateau to the other.

"Do you think the Southwest Army knows about this river?" Comrade Neyatt squatted down to feel the flow of the river, and then turned around to ask other commanders.

"This river is not marked on our map. It is estimated to be a small stream on the map of the Southwest Army. If it is not winter and spring, and the ice and snow melt, this river should not be so urgent, and it is not as usual. Xiaoxi will not make any difference." Another commander looked around and nodded.

"How far is our army stationed, and how many days can we go back and forth at the earliest?" Comrade Neatt asked again.

"Riding lightly, you can get there in half a day at the earliest." A comrade commander replied.

"Comrade Gresham, I order you to bring a company back to the camp immediately, and ask the comrades over there to cooperate in launching a feint attack and attack South Town. In addition, we need the support of the cavalry unit. They must find a way to unplug the nearest New River to ensure that we can go down the river smoothly." Comrade Neatt ordered immediately.

"We want to follow the river straight to the western end of the plateau and cut off the connection between the plateau and the southwestern hinterland?" Comrade Gresham immediately responded and asked.

"This river can at least lead to the Xinhe River on the line of Taige Mountain. We will re-enter there, and then follow the Xinhe River along the Dahe River to the west end, and make a quick surprise attack. This will shorten the journey by at least a week. , ordered all the troops to bring enough dry food and ammunition for three days, cut down trees to make rafts, and then asked for reinforcements from the rear, sent additional troops to make bamboo rafts, and crossed the river in batches to the middle of the plateau." Comrade Neert said decisively.

"In this way, we must shift the strategy of the headquarters, send troops to pretend to attack Nanzhen to attract the enemy's attention, send additional troops to assist our army in making rafts, and the cavalry troops to pull out possible nails along the road, then the whole army will take our army as the leader. Central Operations has organized the campaign."

"Yes, that's it. Originally, the plan we made was relatively safe, and it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not, but if we decide in this way, the situation of the battle will be very different." Neatt nodded again and said.

"Our army rushed down the river, and then followed the second line to the Taige Mountains. The new river quickly passed through the middle of the enemy, crossed several important towns, and went straight to the enemy's throat. As long as our tactics are successful, the enemy's life will be at stake. At that time, whether it is to send additional troops to form a huge encirclement circle on the entire plateau to encircle them, or to quickly turn into the southwestern hinterland to attack their heartland, our army will have the upper hand, and the enemy will It was knocked down."
