Chapter 186 God Assists
When there were only three people left, Gui Boyong drove a bottle of champagne and gave it to Bai Zhizhan.
When Bai Zhizhan went to get the wine glass, Gui Boyong had already taken out an envelope. Because Bai Zhizhan was pouring wine, Gui Boyong gave the envelope to Li Yunxiang.
"This is the latest battle report sent by General He last night.
Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding it.
What kind of battle report needs to be delivered by seaplane?
Before, even Liu Xiangzhen led a special group to turn back in the northern part of the Yanhai Sea, such extremely sensitive messages were sent by the radio station.
"The Army's Battle Report." Li Yunxiang had finished reading it. While saying it, he handed the letter to Bai Zhizhan, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one sip.
After a closer look, Bai Zhizhan immediately frowned.
It is indeed the Army's battle report.
Send seaplanes to send them here, not because they are worried that the telegram will be deciphered by the enemy, but because this battle report should not be given to the commander of the local fleet.
It has nothing to do with the combat operations of the local fleet, so there is no need to inform the local fleet commander.
Three days ago, in the early morning of the 26th, after the Imperial Emperor officially declared war on the Nayi Empire, the Imperial Guards stationed in the Icestorm Peninsula launched an attack. Four armored divisions took turns to take the lead, which was simply unstoppable. Because the Nayi Army did not expect that the Imperial Army would launch an attack at this time, that is, before the Imperial Navy seized the sea control power, so it did not prepare for the possible attack.
In just two days, yesterday morning, the vanguard of the Imperial Army attacked Gaozhou, which is the capital of the Xiagao Kingdom supported by the Nayi Empire.
At this point, the Imperial Army only used two armored divisions, actually one, and the other one was on the east coast of the peninsula.
As for the reserve team I prepared before, it is the reserve team.
Perhaps the front line collapsed too quickly, and the Nayi army guarding Gaozhou did not react at all. Not to mention organizing to resist, when the vanguard of the Imperial Guard advances outside Gaozhou City, a group of low-level troops also lined up to welcome the "friendly troops" retreating from the front line.
As for this Xia Gao army, they immediately turned against each other and welcomed the "King Army" to enter Gaozhou City.
Now, many of the questions in Bai Zhizhan's mind were answered.
It must be said that the armored troops of the Imperial Guards captured Gaozhou on the 26th, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and became the key reason for forcing Takano to take risks.
Just imagine, if you fail to win at sea, the Nayi Army will inevitably be driven out of the Icestorm Peninsula.
In fact, even if it is a draw, as long as the Imperial Navy controls the Watcher Strait and freely enters and exits the East Ocean, the Nayi Empire will throw away the Ice Storm Peninsula.
That's why Takano had no room to retreat.
"Why didn't we send a newspaper to tell us at that time?" Because Bai Zhizhan was still looking at the telegram, Li Yunxiang asked first.
"The armored troops only entered Gaozhou on the 26th, and fought until the early morning of today, and completely occupied Gaozhou."
After hearing what Gui Boyong said, Li Yunxiang pursed his lips.
This reason is a bit far-fetched, but it is reasonable.
"It sounds like the pilot who delivered the letter said that the slogan of the armored guards is 'Go home to drink porridge'."
"What does it mean?" Bai Zhizhan had already read the telegram, and only mentioned a few key time points and key events, and at most it was a briefing.
It's enough. After all, Bai Zhizhan and others are not very good at combat operations against the army. Even if they send a detailed battle report, they may not be able to understand it. Although Li Yunxiang is from the army, it is an aviation force, and it has nothing to do with the armored troops advancing on the Ice Storm Peninsula at this time.
“Laba Porridge.”
After hearing what Gui Boyong said, Bai Zhizhan immediately understood.
It is already the end of December, and next Spring Festival is in mid-February, the armored forces of the Imperial Guards will end the battle within 20 days.
Can it be done?
Bai Zhizhan did not make a high statement.
He is a navy general, not an army general.
Although I think it is unlikely, after all, ground combat is a world of difference between maritime combat. In addition, the Ice Storm Peninsula is known for its complex terrain and bad weather, the armored troops of the Imperial Guards advanced dozens of kilometers in just two days and took Gaozhou in one fell swoop. I really dare not say that there is anything impossible. According to the advancement speed of the previous two days, it only took about ten days to sweep the entire Ice Storm Peninsula.
"Frontline commander, you all know each other."
"Liang Xusheng?" Bai Zhizhan immediately thought of it, and while asking, he looked at Li Yunxiang who was sitting next to him.
Bai Zhizhan did know Lian Xusheng, but in terms of relationships, Li Yunxiang is Lian Xusheng's buddy.
In fact, Li Yunxiang introduced Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng to each other back then, and they were barely considered brother-in-law.
Gui Boyong nodded and said, "He is now the commander-in-chief of the front line. He led the vanguard troops to attack Gaozhou within two days, and then shouted the slogan of 'Go home and drink porridge'. According to this situation, he may be the next command of the march into Buzhou."
While saying this, Gui Boyong's eyes also turned to Li Yunxiang.
Bai Zhizhan seemed very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The Army is advancing rapidly on the Icestorm Peninsula, which may not be a good thing.
To be honest, just like killing Gaoye in the naval battle in the early morning of the 28th, the army conquered Gaozhou on the 26th, and was also out of the plan.
According to the original plan, the Imperial Guards only need to conquer Gaozhou before January 10 next year.
In addition, there is no need to conquer the Ice Storm Peninsula before Laba, just before the fifteenth day of the New Year, that is, before the end of February.
If the speed of advancement is too fast, many problems will arise.
The most prominent thing is that logistics support cannot keep up!
This is the first issue to consider when formulating a combat plan.
On the Ice Storm Peninsula, not to mention railways, there are not even a few decent roads. In winter, heavy snow often blocks mountains, making it extremely difficult to provide logistics support.
There is no hope for ground transportation, so we can only rely on the navy, and the navy arranges ships to transport them.
The problem is here!
To rely on sea transportation, you have to seize the sea control power and maintain the sea control power. Therefore, not only must you send a fleet, but you must also attack ports and airports in the western region of Nayi.
What to beat?
Fleet, and it is a special mixed fleet!
If everything goes according to the original plan, the Navy has enough time to capture the Tuk Fortress before the Army makes a major breakthrough.
According to Bai Zhizhan's idea, even if he can't defeat the Tuk Fortress, he can still kill the Nayi fleet over there.
At this time, if you force your troops to march into the narrow land, you will have no worries.
The problem now is that the army is advancing too fast and the navy needs to provide support, so it is definitely impossible to attack the Tuk Fortress as planned.
From any perspective, we have to concentrate the only few aircraft carriers to attack the western region of Nayi.
Before the large-scale combat operations on the Icestorm Peninsula are over, the Navy should not have any other plans.
This is simply a god-assisted assist!
Bai Zhizhan was speechless and didn't know what to say at all, as if all external factors were driving the situation toward the unfavorable direction for the local fleet.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Yunxiang asked very simply.
He is a straight-hearted person and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
Since Gui Boyong specifically mentioned Lian Xusheng, it must be related to him.
Chapter completed!
