Chapter 620: The Battle of Northeast China is Approaching
The following reports from various agricultural sectors were involved, and the situation was quite gratifying. If you have food in your hands, you will not feel panic.
What the great devil is most worried about is that time is approaching, the battle between Beijing is imminent, and the food strategy is problematic. Now, according to data from all parties, even if the central and southeastern regions are affected by various factors, there is basically no big gap in food. As long as they are not taken away from their food, there is no big problem.
The current prospects of the harvest and actual reserves in the Gyeonggi area are very sufficient. To a certain extent, mechanical power has changed the efficiency of the water circulation system and has been in a period of mechanical explosion growth in the past two years, so the effective arable land in Gyeonggi has increased well.
Relying on the Institute of Agricultural Sciences' continued improvement of hybrid varieties and the actual operation of various agricultural and fertilizer industries, corn and potatoes were the first to promote in Gyeonggi. In addition, under the earliest policies of storage and grain subsidy, the current food situation in Gyeonggi is very good!
Even if it is not intensive cluster planting, the reserves are sufficient and self-sufficient. According to the calculation model of the Great Demon King, assuming that under the fall of Beijing's intensive grain production area, the Bianjing small farmers' demonstration base can withstand the materials needed for the Beijing Battle with its own strength. At least it can persist until the Chengdu Prefecture section of the railway is opened to traffic, so that the Chengdu Plain's grain continues to support the capital.
This is very important data!
If their data is not very watery after review and is close to the speculation of the Great Demon King, then this node may become a watershed in this world war!
Because the great devil's strategy will change, it will not passively shrink and wait for Xiao Hui to take the initiative to advance.
On the contrary, the autumn harvest in the occupied areas was not available, and Xiao Hui's army did not dare to advance casually. In Liao and within Goryeo, they did not have such awesome food reserves as the Song Dynasty. Now they have done their best to organize logistics, intending to supply the Liao army with an increasing scale.
Information shows that after Zhuo Luolan entered Lao Xiao's staff team, the power of the Liao Dynasty's personal army in the occupied areas was also increasing, so they needed a larger and larger logistics supply.
Because they had no choice. Fires caught everywhere in the backyard of the Song Dynasty, and one-sixth of the territory was lost, and the Great Demon King was stabilized. The Song Dynasty did not collapse, and the Great Demon King completed the adaptation of the new army with his unparalleled political control ability in Bianjing. This is the biggest variable for them!
The Liao Kingdom has information: The train with strong transportation capacity in Song State is now traveling day and night, and continues to invest more than 300,000 new troops to participate in the deployment on the Beijing front. In addition to the 100,000 guerrilla troops that had been dispersed on Hedong, Hebei, and the great devil's unmatched training and mobilization ability, Zhuo Luolan concluded that the Battle of the North will be the watershed of this world war. At the peak, it is estimated that the Song army will invest more than 600,000 troops to participate.
This is reality, the price that Lao Xiao had to pay when he was defeated by the Great Demon King's empty city plan.
It is true that as long as you win the Battle of Beijing, the Song Dynasty will basically be extinguished. However, under the rule of the Great Demon King, he will defeat the 600,000 Song army. As someone who has confronted the Great Demon King more than once, Zhuo Luolan believes that the Liao army must have at least 800,000 effective deployment, otherwise you should not think about fighting, change the strategy and negotiate as soon as possible, and maybe the outcome will be better.
The balance of the situation has tilted and deviated. Since the Great Demon King has the ability to complete the reorganization of the new army without anyone expected it, the semi-mechanized field army of Song State continued to travel northward. The Liao State's combat plan has been basically disrupted and he can only bite the bullet and reinforce. Xiao Hui's intention is that before the Beijing Battle begins, the effective Liao army that will invest in the northeast battlefield of Song State should exceed one million.
There was a big change in the East China Sea battlefield. After the Goryeo was hit hard, the plan to manage the Honzhou Island in the short term was blocked. Fortunately, the Goryeo had no way out at this point and agreed to provide all-out materials and technical support to help the Liao Kingdom explode ships. The Liao Kingdom Navy officially came to an end and fought with the Song Kingdom Navy in the Pacific Ocean.
Even if this point is inappropriate, there is no way out. Now we are in a hurry to compare productivity. If we can't suppress the Royal Navy of the Song Dynasty and the East China Sea strategy fails in a comprehensive manner, the problem will be very serious. In theory, important logistics areas such as Nanjing Road and Dading Prefecture are all within the radiation range of the Song Dynasty Marine Corps.
These areas are all the richest areas of the Liao Kingdom and are already overwhelmed with the lifeline of the logistics line. At the moment when the Liao Kingdom was about to gather nearly one million troops into the occupied areas, the rear was insufficient, and once the Song Navy formed a deterrent in the Bohai region, it would be a pill.
So now, the Yanyun area, where the Liao Kingdom is mainly Han people and has the best and most prosperous work attitude, is also everywhere, with explosive production capacity. The shipbuilding technology is not good, but it can barely be used. It has a displacement of 400 tons, and cannons can also be produced by themselves. It is not powerful but can kill people. It is better than the foolish Jurchens using stones as weapons.
In short, it is not said that the Royal Navy of Song State was killed, but they must not be allowed to rule the Bohai defense circle, just as the Song State could not be allowed to allow the Liao cavalry to break through the Beijing defense circle on land.
In short, when he went deep into this situation, Zhuo Luolan's assertion at that time was almost fulfilled: this is basically a war that cannot be won!
As a hegemonic Liao Kingdom, when I need to compete with Song Kingdom for productivity muscles with my shirtless, the probability of losing the war is already very high.
But it is not hopeless. The East China Sea strategy is just a sideways, and the decisive battle is still the army cluster. The Liao Kingdom is a cavalry, and the war heritage of the entire nation is still there. The combat effectiveness of the new army of the Song army will not be strong in the early stages. They need to accumulate experience points on the battlefield, and their mentality needs to slowly enter the state.
So as long as you don’t make big mistakes and lose the Beijing Battle in a short time, then the Liao Dynasty father still has room for anything.
However, the premise is that Zhuo Luolan commands rather than Xiao Hui. But this is absolutely impossible. Even if Lao Xiao delegates power, Zhuo Luolan cannot have prestige to control various warlords and generals of the Liao army. Everyone knows that this will lead to faster defeat of the Liao army. Because the command structure of the Liao army is too complicated, even Lao Xiao will not completely control it. The Liao army's system is the so-called "Eight Khitan tribes", and there are all kinds of people.
Therefore, the Liao army has already had unstable factors. Those cruel people were very disgusted with Lao Xiao's invitation of a woman from Xixia into the decision-making level of the Liao Expeditionary Force. They felt that this was a shame.
Lao Xiao is not a great devil. Lao Xiao’s control and mobilization ability over his subordinates is limited. These are the factors that Zhuo Luolan sees in the eyes of being unable to win. Such a large national war will never be lost due to one factor, but these will be the fuse and the cause of the disease is lurking.
In any case, this is a shift in the strategic trend. Once upon a time, everyone was calling for eating big meat together, discussing "How to die in Song State", because there are many ways to die.
But now the atmosphere has changed and only Zhuo Luolan discovered that the issue discussed by the Liao Expeditionary Force, which now holds absolute power, is no longer how to die in Song, but how can Liao increase the probability of winning...
Hejian Prefecture, Liao Kingdom’s expeditionary army camp.
When the latest information was delivered to Xiao Hui and Zhuo Luolan, the report was reported that "the capital of Song Dynasty has a large amount of grain."
This is not good news, Lao Xiao frowned.
Zhuo Luolan changed his face: "At this point, the strategic initiative began to change hands, and the Liao army needed to prepare early. Perhaps we have not completed the final preparations for advance, and Shenjilang will take the initiative to launch a major battle."
Old Xiao frowned and thought for a long time, murmured, "Is he really dared?"
"He is really brave. Anyway, if I were him, I would have done this." Zhuo Luolan said.
Old Xiao walked for a while and said, "I still don't believe it. My military strength is now 750,000 yuan, so what if he takes the initiative to attack?"
Zhuo Luolan said: "I didn't say I would lose. The military formation of this level cannot be decided in less than half a year. But we must start preparing, and there are no good plans at this point. In fact, I think there is no specific tactics for the two armies with a scale of over one million. This is a competition of political command."
"You can imagine that if we continue, the entire land of the three northeastern Song Dynasty, spanning thousands of miles of depth, you have me and I have you, and I will form a situation where the Song and Liao troops are everywhere, just like a Go board, the commander basically cannot command. You see, we are surrounding the Song army, but in fact, the Song army is surrounding us. Because there are troops everywhere, surrounded and counter-encirclement everywhere."
"No commander can deduce these complete models clearly. It is difficult to design tactics targetedly, because that variable human brain cannot be completed, even if the divine machine is not good. This is why you never saw him coming to the battlefield from beginning to end. I assume that after the Northeast Battle officially kicked off, the Song army's semi-mechanized corps will be between 570,000 and 630,000, and we will take the middle value of 600,000. The Liao cavalry will be between 800,000 and 850,000, and we will take the middle value of 830,000. In addition, the Song State is mixed with various civilian logistics teams, and militia dares to fighters, and these forces are concentrated on land spanning forty states for deployment."
"Shen Jiyun's works have long discussed the tactics in this situation: that is, no command or limited command. This depends on the automatic rate and belief of each combat unit. The preparation I mean is not an attack or retreat, but a reasonable reorganization is now started to form independent combat units suitable for this situation, and tell the commanders of each column what the war situation is about to face."
"If we continue to maintain our current mentality of arrogant soldiers, we will still rush around blindly like bullying guerrillas in the early days. In such super-large layered encirclements and counter-encirclements, the demise of a combat unit is too likely to occur. At least I think that the Liao army is definitely not as good as the current Song army in terms of war rate. During this period, the Great Demon King has been cultivating the automatic rate of the Song army, that is, the ability to survive and reliably."
Zhuo Luolan was also very excited and excited. As the military commander, she was about to participate in this unique super-large battle in history, which was very exciting, so she also poured out all her insights and what she learned in time without reservation.
Lao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think you are the only one who can fight, don't think you are the only one who reads the works of the Great Devil. The problem is that there are some things that he can do but we can't. Can he destroy more than 100 military tigers in Bianjing? If you go back and let Wu Erpang do this, try it. If Xixia does not split, I will lose! This is the difference. People in this world can really anger people to death."
