Chapter 945: The Idiots Actually Divided Their Forces, Hahahaha!
Fenghua, Ninghai, and Sanmen fell one after another. Facing the Gale Group "commanded" by Pietro, the Southern Army stationed in the three places simply failed to provide effective resistance, just like children facing strong adults who had no way of fighting back. The power changed hands in just five days. 8??1?Chinese W?W?W.. ?8?1㈠Z?W㈧. ㈠C㈠O㈠M
After the fall of the three places, Pietro's troops pointed directly at Taizhou in Fujian, which shocked the Taizhou Southern Army garrison general Li Ji. He kept asking Guangzhou to send more reinforcements, and he mobilized a large army to reinforce Taizhou, hoping to defeat the strong wind. The army is blocking the front line in Taizhou.
Li Ji's idea is a good one, and based on common sense, the implementation will be very successful.
But it is a pity that as opponents and enemies, Pietro and the Gale Legion, one of the four major armed forces in Shanghai, cannot be inferred according to the common sense of this era.
Therefore, Li Ji was tragic.
The Southern Army has 680,000 troops stationed in Fujian. There are a total of 9 armies, of which about 500,000 are combat troops. The rest are basically logistics troops with little combat effectiveness.
The Chinese army in 1911 could not compare with the army in the 21st century, and the weapons and equipment in the army were extremely backward.
There are 680,000 troops in 9 armies, with a total of only 36 artillery pieces. On average, an army only has 4 artillery pieces, which is an entire army.
And these 36 guns are still old-fashioned, they are all old cannons from 20 years ago.
As for heavy weapons... haha, basically don't think about it.
On the other hand, although Pietro's Gale Corps is not equipped with as many artillery pieces as Ensa's Yellow Sand Corps, it has a total of 1500 large-caliber howitzers, artillery pieces, and various types of guns, not to mention portable mortars. Class organization.
At the same time, those soldiers at the bottom are also equipped with various submachine guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons. Comparing these two, the Southern Army is simply a beggar.
Therefore, when Li Ji faced the Gale Legion, even though he had more troops than his opponents, he was completely crushed in terms of weapons and equipment.
When firearms appeared, the era of cold weapons became a thing of the past, and a new war model began.
In modern warfare, the size of the army can no longer be a weight in determining the war. Advanced weapons and equipment are an important part that ultimately determines the direction of the war.
Therefore, when the number of the Gale Legion is 120,000,
After facing Li Ji with 680,000 people in Taizhou, the upcoming battle immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Among them, the 'Business Mission' sent to Shanghai by the great powers is the most concerning. After all, although they are nominally here to discuss business issues, in fact the intention behind these business missions is to spy on Shanghai's political and military intelligence, as well as those new technologies. Weapons and equipment intelligence issues.
Therefore, in the war that is about to break out again, they are very concerned about how much results the weapons and equipment of the Shanghai Navy can bring, what kind of devastating blow they will cause, and their power.
The military intelligence personnel of the great powers also sneaked into the Taizhou area and stayed close to the edge of the battlefield, preparing to collect more detailed data.
Although Pietro's Gale Legion gave the Confederate Army a severe beating some time ago, allowing the Confederate Army to see the power of Shanghai and causing the Confederate Army to suffer a heavy loss, the Confederate Army who did not fight was really scared.
Therefore, many generals of the Southern Army stubbornly believed that as long as they could suppress the Shanghai Army in terms of numbers and adopt appropriate tactical deployment, it would not be impossible to defeat this opponent with enviable equipment.
Li Ji was one of the Southern Army generals who had this idea.
Don’t you Shanghai guys just rely on advanced weapons and equipment, lots of artillery, and lots of guns?
I don’t believe this evil!
No matter how good the weapons are, they still need people to use them. No matter how powerful the weapons are, they are just scrap metal!
I, Li Ji, will beat you Shanghai guys back to your original shape this time!
I want the world to clearly see that you are actually paper tigers!
To be honest, Li Ji's idea is actually correct.
Indeed, to some extent, weapons and people, talents are the most important.
But the problem is that Li Ji doesn't know that this matter is okay in the situation where the two sides are similar, but the equipment of the Wind Legion is not just as simple as excellent weapons and equipment, but also makes himself and the Southern Army have poor weapons and equipment. How many levels have it reached?
And it is simply impossible to make up for the gap at this level with military strength.
Think about it, how far can modern long-range missiles hit, and how far can the small-caliber artillery of 1911 hit?
Not to mention that the missile can also locate and strike military targets, and its accuracy is completely beyond everyone's knowledge in 1911.
Therefore, in the face of this kind of cross-era weapon, even if you are given an army of 10 million, it is not enough.
With the push of a button, your command center can be completely destroyed.
And without the commander, can the war continue?
The Gale Legion is already armed to the teeth, even light body armor is equipped for the soldiers, and what do the soldiers under Li Ji have!
This is not a battle of magnitude at all.
The Gale Legion is a fully mechanized force. With the support of Andrew's black technology, the Gale Legion has a variety of armored personnel carriers, as well as military trucks and motorcycles.
Therefore, it is worthy of the title of 'Wind Legion' in terms of speed.
Originally, Li Ji mobilized the army to stop the Gale Legion in Taizhou, but the Southern Army's troops had no mechanization. Not to mention the trouble of mobilizing the army, troop mobilization also had to rely on the two feet of the soldiers.
Therefore, when Li Ji mobilized his troops, Pietro had already quickly broken through Taizhou and crossed Wenzhou. A division of the vanguard had entered Ningde City.
Ningdecheng is located in the north of Fuzhou. As long as Ningde is defeated, Fuzhou is completely within sight.
Li Ji, who had just ordered to mobilize the army to Taizhou and whose troops had just gathered in Fuzhou, was dumbfounded. He never expected that the enemy would move so fast, which was beyond his imagination.
After the Gale Legion arrived in Ningde, they did not continue to advance. Instead, they built simple defenses in Luoyuan County, south of Ningde, and began to wait for the arrival of subsequent large forces.
Obviously, as soon as the subsequent large forces arrive, it will be time to launch a general attack on Fuzhou.
"Quick! Quick! Speed up the speed. The First Legion of Gale is heading west. According to the intelligence, our opponents have mobilized the garrison from all over the annex to the vicinity of Fuzhou. As a result, the defenses in various annexes are empty. This is simply a godsend. good chance
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if I don't take down the entire attachment, I would be sorry for myself. "
Pietro, sitting in an American jeep, received information from Shanghai.
In this intelligence, the intelligence agency of the Shanghai Governor's Office effectively grasped accurate information about Fujian, and suggested that Pietro could divide his troops to occupy towns that basically had no garrison.
After receiving this information and advice, Pietro's eyes lit up.
Although Pietro was not a qualified soldier, he was smart enough to know that all he had to do was follow the advice of the Governor's Office. As long as he could grasp this, there would basically be no mistakes.
Not to mention that there are liquid metal robot adjutants around Pietro as helpers, so even if Pietro is just a little kid over six years old, as long as these liquid metal robots are by his side, it is enough to ensure that he will not be able to survive. Mistakes will be made, and there are no more weird military orders.
The suggestions from the Governor's Mansion were also circulated to the liquid metal robot adjutants.
Everyone felt that the recommendations of the Governor's Office could be implemented.
In the view of the liquid metal robot adjutants, the military strength of their opponents is pitifully low. Although they only have 120,000 troops, they can be easily eliminated with a division of troops.
Therefore, the enemy has now assembled all its forces in Fuzhou, leaving the entire Fujian area blank. Then he can easily occupy the entire Fujian area.
As for failure...such a thing will never happen, okay?
Therefore, these liquid metal robot adjutants, not only did not object to Pietro's implementation of the Warlord's suggestion, but they faithfully carried out Pietro's order to divide the troops.
The organization of the Gale Legion is a three-three system, with three divisions and one corps. Considering that their opponents' weapons and equipment are really poor, Pietro and the others boldly divided the strength of two corps of 120,000 people into six parts. .
Among them, the First Division of the First Corps of the Gale Legion took the initiative to attack Fuzhou.
The remaining five divisions were sent to various parts of Fujian to take over cities and towns that no longer had garrison troops.
However, Pietro's division of troops stunned all the observers of the great powers who learned the news, as well as Li Ji in Fuzhou, and the top generals of the Guangzhou forces who were in chaos.
Isn't it too disrespectful to divide the troops like this?
That's a fool who knows how to concentrate superior forces to fight. After all, there are more than 600,000 troops in Fuzhou.
But now the opponent actually sent only one division and more than 12,000 troops. This simply means that Li Ji's tribe and the Southern Army were not taken seriously!
In other words, the commander of the Shanghai Army is a fool! ?
Of course, it's not that no one saw the intention of the Gale Legion to divide their troops, but everyone couldn't figure out what the use was of dividing their troops to occupy various parts of Fujian that no longer had defenders.
Li Ji's troops have not been completely wiped out. Under such circumstances, dividing the troops to occupy those places is not worth the gain.
This is completely weakening one's own strength.
And spreading one's own strength is simply an act of seeking death.
This is tantamount to creating an opportunity for Li Ji to concentrate his efforts to annex the Gale Legion, which has an advantage in weapons and equipment.
moron!
Really stupid!
It seems that the commander of this army in Shanghai is a big fool.
But is the reality really what these people think?
Everything came to a conclusion after the First Division of the First Corps of the Gale Legion launched an attack on the Fuzhou Li Ji garrison.
Isn’t it great to have more people...
