Chapter 279： contact
In Yangzhou, Wu Changqing also arrived here after a large group of troops successfully crossed the river.
Just like Dorgon, a man who is self-sufficient, often likes to take his destiny in his own hands.
Wu Changqing couldn't help coming over to direct this battle of national movement.
Of course, this is also the time to establish prestige.
If he didn't come in person and won the battle, the greatest credit would be to his subordinates, which is equivalent to establishing prestige for his subordinates.
It is not a good thing that the prestige of his subordinates is too high. He doesn't want to kill the hero like Zhu Chongba after the world has been put down, and he does not want anyone to have the same prestige as himself. .
And as long as he comes to the front line and sits down in person, even if he doesn't say a word, after the war is won, others will think that he is in command, and the greatest credit will go to him.
He was not born in an emperor's family, and he had to rely on prestige if he wanted to be superior, and he couldn't rely on identity and blood like the Zhu family.
"The 21st Division has arrived in Huai'an and is preparing to attack the city. Our plan is to take Huai'an, and then rely on Huai'an to fight the Qing army in northern Huai'an..."
Tao Dongcheng explained the plan and strategic intentions to Wu Changqing on the map.
Huai'an is very important to them. As long as they occupy Huai'an, even if they are defeated in the decisive battle in the future, they can rely on Huai'an to defend and cover the retreat of the defeated army.
Although it is a decisive battle, the number of soldiers who will die directly on the battlefield is generally not more than 20%, and more soldiers are killed or captured when they are defeated.
Therefore, if you can rely on Huai'an to fight, if you lose the battle, you can also effectively delay the speed of the Qing army's pursuit and killing, so as to gather the ruined troops and greatly reduce the loss.
Moreover, after occupying Huai'an, materials can be directly transported to the front line to ensure their logistics.
Huai'an is the junction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Huai River. It is a transportation hub on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and its strategic position is very important.
However, Huai'an is still in the hands of the Qing army, and it will cost some money before the Qing army arrives, and there is still great uncertainty.
If you can't quickly capture Huai'an, then the Wu army will be in a dilemma when it is attacking the city, or it will be attacked by the Qing army's cavalry.
"If we can't win Huai'an before the main force of the Qing army arrives, then we can only put the battlefield in Madian, south of Huai'an. This is somewhat detrimental to us, but it is acceptable..."
"Give Tang Guozhen my order, so that he must grab Huai'an before the Qing army arrives. If we win a decisive battle in Madian, it will be more difficult for us to win a big battle. We need to eliminate as much as possible. The main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing army greatly hurt their vitality."
Wu Changqing interrupted Tao Dongcheng.
This time, Wu Jun’s strategic goal was actually similar to that of the Qing Army. It didn’t mean that it had to occupy any place. It was all about destroying the enemy’s main force and the enemy’s vital forces.
The Qing army eliminated the main force of Wu's army, and the next southward move will be unimpeded.
On the contrary, the Wu army will no longer have to fight hard in the future. When the main force of the Qing army has been lost, other places will definitely fall on the lookout. Wu Jun doesn't need to fight, they may have already started unrest within them.
Wu Changqing just expressed his determination, so that the generals in front can be more desperate. As for the backup plan, it will continue to be implemented.
Once you fail to win Huai'an, you can only fight a decisive battle in Madian Town.
August 6th.
Wu Changqing's main force began to set off from Yangzhou, while at the same time, the army of the Qing court set off from Xuzhou.
In Huaian on the front line, Wu Jun's 21st Division had already begun various preparations before the attack.
As a very solid theoretical person, Tang Guozhen naturally understood the importance of Huai'an to this decisive battle. Winning Huai'an is tantamount to having a natural base camp during the decisive battle.
"The striker of the Qing army is about 30 miles away from Huai'an. I want to take this Huai'an within a day."
Tang Guozhen said.
If you can't take Huai'an within a day, and wait for the forward of the Qing army to arrive, the strength of their division will be a bit insufficient.
"This is probably not easy. According to the intelligence of the spies, there are more than 10,000 defenders in Huai'an, among which are 4 thousand and eight banner soldiers. Moreover, these people are equipped with a large number of grenades."
A brigade commander frowned.
Finally, they also began to taste the taste of grenades.
The defending party has a grenade, and its ability to defend the city can be directly increased several times.
Compared with the traditional defensive weapons such as stone, rolling wood, and rolling oil, the lethality of grenades is several times higher. Moreover, the grenade is small in size and convenient to use.
It can be said that if there are enough grenades to throw down the city, the ant-attached siege is totally impossible.
If they have enough time, they can use cannons to blast the walls of Huai'an into a big hole, so that they don't have to carry out a tragic ant-attached siege.
However, Tang Guozhen now limited the time, requiring it to be within a day.
I'm afraid this time is not enough, because the city walls of Huai'an have been reinforced with cement by the Qing army. Compared with ordinary rammed earth walls, they are much stronger, and they are also extremely easy to repair.
These are the prices Wu Jun paid for collecting money. If it were not for money, they would not sell cement to the north.
"Can those hydrogen balloons be used?"
Tang Guozhen asked.
Under the instructions of Wu Changqing, the people in the university hall have successfully separated carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the air, and have also produced hydrogen through chemical methods.
Among them, hydrogen is used to make hydrogen balloons, forming the first air force in this time and space.
In the past, Zhuge Liang and some other generals also used flying tools such as Kongming Lanterns to convey military information. However, this is the first time that people have been sent to the sky, and this is a leap forward.
However, the technology of manned flight is still very immature for the time being. During the experiment and training process, more than a dozen soldiers have died.
Because hydrogen is very unstable, it is easy to explode or burn. Its power problems, direction control, and high degree of control are all difficult to solve.
In the event of an accident in the air, there is basically no life left.
This time going north, Tang Guozhen also brought that immature air force.
The pursuit of complete security is a matter for ordinary people. There is no such thing as absolute security when serving as a soldier. Even soldiers on the ground have a high probability of death in battle.
Therefore, even if the technology is not yet successful, you still have to use it when it is needed.
And now, Tang Guozhen hopes that this air force can achieve a little unexpected effect.
"The bombing mission can be carried out, but this is the first actual combat, and the effect is more difficult to guess."
Ning Xiang, the commander of the air force battalion, replied.
"It's fine if you can use it. Take off when there is a general attack, and frighten the enemy first."
Tang Guozhen ordered.
People flying in the sky, this sight can shock the Qing army.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers of the Qing army, even their officers, who were the first to see the soldiers successfully go to heaven, were shocked and speechless.
