Huo Qiu was so happy that he couldn't find him at all. He only knew that he kept laughing, which reminded everyone that he was just a small private salt dealer by the Nanxi River two years ago, and he had to fight with others for three or five cents.

Qu Jie even smiled and looked at Huo Qiu happily and was stunned. Even such a person could be the commander of the army? If it weren't for the fact that he had a good face and was capable enough, this crazy Huo might be still fighting with others for three or five cents.

Liu Chang placed the final order on Zhang Sigui, the number one navy figure: "During the implementation of various operations, the navy will be supported. The navy must use its best efforts to ensure the absolute advantage of each unit on the water, and wait for the battle between the two lakes to come to an end..."

Zhang Sigui became happy. Could it be the expected Shandong landing battle?

You should know that he used the miraculous Shidao Naval Battle in the Southern Song Dynasty as a model for this landing, but Liu Chang set him much smaller goals: "If Taiwan cannot be resolved at that time, the Navy will be responsible for landing operations. This period of time will be enough for your navy to train a landing battalion, right?"

"Enough enough!"

Zhang Sigui hurriedly said: "Not to mention a land battle camp, even a land battle brigade is enough!"

"The land war brigade cannot give you!" Liu Chang replied immediately: "Even the land war brigade cannot give you the organization. You can only give you a land war battalion. You can find a way to do all personnel, materials, and equipment. But I believe that your navy will do it, and there is no problem at all!"

Zhang Sigui was very confident, so he immediately guaranteed Liu Chang: "No problem, no problem. Our Navy will solve it ourselves!"

That's right, the navy is rich and powerful, with hundreds of ships of all sizes. It can be built with any fingers that can be missed. What's more, they have considerable inventory of arms smuggling, rifles, light artillery, ammunition and even clothing organized by the Qing army. As for cadres, it's easier to deal with. There are now hundreds of cadres coming from the old army in the navy. Just transfer twenty or thirty people to serve as the chief officers of the land battalion, and then borrow a group of middle and lower-level officers from the land war with high treatment.

Although the Navy is going to do its best to ensure the operation of the three offensives, the Navy has the final say in the allocation of warships. There is no problem with borrowing dozens or even nearly a hundred cadres. The only worry is that Sun Huzi takes action too quickly and directly solves the Taiwan government.

However, Zhang Sigui did think that Liu Chang had a unique look. For the Navy, although there is already a naval base of Dinghai, Taiwan is a more important combat base. Here, you can go south and point to Hainan, or march north to Huangbo, and point to Liuqiu in the east. This place should be solved by the Navy.

When Zhang Sigui thought of this, he looked at Sun Huzi in a blink of an eye. Even if the Navy is responsible for Taiwan's issues, he may have to discuss more with Sun Huzi.

The overall combat tone was finalized, and everyone was shocked by the large scale of this combat. The rhythm was orderly and it was a big deal.

If the battle goes well, the territory of the Hong Army will be nearly doubled. Not to mention anything else, it can at least capture one provincial capital and a complete province, and it is even possible to capture two or three provincial capitals and two or three complete provinces in one go.

Some people even thought that Liu Chang was not stunned by the changes in the situation and launched a full-scale attack, but as a result, it was full-scale and was blocked. Now the method of attacking round after round is very big, and even if it is setback, it will not affect the overall situation.

They didn't know that Liu Chang learned from the experience of the Japanese fighting in China. The situation on the Chinese battlefield in the War of Resistance Against Japan was laid out from the battle from 1937 to 1939. In the past two years, the Japanese army seemed invincible, but they were trapped in the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield. Why? It was because it was blossoming in multiple directions, with a comprehensive offensive, and attacking everywhere. In 1937, the decisive battle was launched on the two battlefields of North China and Shanghai at the same time. As a result, the two battlefields were insufficient and the troops were insufficient. Facing the advantages of the Chinese team's strength and strength.

The dense positions could only be pushed up one by one, and finally barely won, but it was a loss of vitality. However, in early 1938, the Japanese army did not learn the lessons at all and completely formed a situation of full attack. The Japanese army in Jiangnan engaged in border operations between three provinces, the 13th Division in Huainan operation, while the Second Army attacked Taierzhuang, the First Army engaged in Hebei pacification operations and southern Shanxi operation, and the Mongolian army in Qingshuihe operation, but the result was that it could not form a key offensive and was at a disadvantage. The above operations ended in setbacks, laying the foregone conclusion on the battlefield of China.

When fighting in Wuhan, the Japanese army still did not learn this lesson, but launched two offensives at the same time. Central China and North China attacked Wuhan at the same time, and as a result, they fought hard everywhere. After 1939, the Japanese army learned the war in the war and no longer adopted such a comprehensive offensive with great momentum and very little effect. Instead, they concentrated a heavy blow and a small-scale assist in the other directions. Since then, a series of classic examples of mobile combat were formed on the Chinese battlefield, especially the No. 1 battle as a typical example, in Henan, Hunan, and Guiliu battles were launched one after another. One heavy blow suppressed another heavy blow, and swept across Dushan.

Liu Chang's tactic, which was launched one after another, also learned from the experience of combat No. 1 and was ready to completely defeat the Qing Dynasty with waves of combination punches. The officers were full of absolute confidence in this round of strategic offensive.

Time flies. The summer of 1857 has passed, and the autumn wind is about to rise again.

Although Zhang Luoshi had not seen a fallen leaf, he could already feel the coldness of autumn. He looked at the heavy hills south and felt a hint of chill in his heart.

He never thought that this summer was so sad. The Nian Army, who had once sang all the way, could not move in the heat. The scorching heat forced tens of thousands of lively Nianzi to leave the battlefield, which was more casualties than in the battle.

As long as the army advances and nests are played and the slogans of Yangzhou are washed, the Nianzi team will become the object of hatred by the entire Su and Anhui. Whether it is the Qing army, Taiping army, the Hong army, or the local tyrants, they will beat Nianzi, the tiger crossing the river, to death, and the result will be the current difficulties.

He was watching, and looked at his nephew, Zhang Zongyu, known as the "Living King of Hell", rushed over: "Uncle, Liu Evil Wolf of the Blue Banner, Zhang Long and others were unwilling to do it! It was said that the Red thief soldiers came across the river, and we had no hatred with them, so there was no need to fight them until death. They said that they would rather want the grass from the zhihe River than the gold from the state, or go back to the zhihe River to have a happy life!"

Although the nianzi is the largest refugee armed force in modern history, they are a group of farmers at the root. Although the robbery life is happy, they will not forget that they are a group of farmers. Therefore, they still live a farming life in Zhiheji. Now that the autumn wind is blowing, they are thinking that the crops in Zhiheji have not been harvested yet, and their wives and children may not be able to handle them.

Of course this is just an open reason. In fact, these blue flags are already home-loving, and they are in trouble after going south. They have not seen the shadow of the red thief yet, and they have suffered a lot. They have already retreated, but Zhang Lexing doesn't think so: "I and Blind Brother Gong will persuade Lanqi's brothers later! How about the south?"

"People who heard the news said that now every day there are ships crossing the river from southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu, and there are more and more red soldiers in Hezhou and Chaohu!"

"How many?" Zhang Lexing had 200,000 to 300,000 twists in his hand and tens of thousands of horse teams, but he attached great importance to the Hongjun.

You should know that it was just coming from the south not long ago. The main force of the Hong Army was attacking southern Fujian, and tens of thousands of troops swept across Fujian. Now Xiamen and Zhangzhou, the two most important cities in the hands of the Qing army, have fallen into the hands of the Hong Army. The fall of Fujian is just around the corner.

After hearing this news, Zhang Lexing was first grateful that the Hongjun attacked south, so he didn't have to bear the brunt. But then he received news that the Hongjun launched a large-scale reinforcement of the Hongjun and the bridgehead of the prefecture and Chaohu.

Originally, Zhang Lexing was confident that he would win Hezhou and Chaohu. You should know that the Hong Army had only a thousand soldiers and no more than 1,500 soldiers crossing the river. Although he recruited two or three hundred township soldiers on the spot, under the attack of his own tens of thousands of soldiers, he was simply a situation of attacking him into a slime powder.

But the army went south to hinder the Jiangji until now, but it still did not reach the Jiangji line. Instead, the Hongjun on the Hezhou and Chaohu line developed. They continued to use the tactic of land grabbing to expand outward and recruit new recruits in major events. Now, according to the information of the post detectives, although the number of old Hongjun has increased by 200 to 300, it will not exceed 2000 at most. However, the newly enlisted county ** companies, township platoons, and basic militia companies have about one or two thousand, and at least 1,500. With the foreign guns, cannons, and steam steamers in their hands, they are barely qualified to fight against the Nian Army.

But these days, the Hongjun seemed to have made some big moves. They first brought several ships of soldiers, ammunition, food, medicine and materials to help Hezhou and Chaohu. There is uncertain news that even Feng Sixian, the number one figure of the Hongjun in Anhui Province, has arrived in Jiangbei, and the Hezhou garrison has made great progress. Now the Hongjun in Anhui has been adapted into the Eighth Division, and Feng Sixian, the new division commander, can become the governor of Anhui as long as he has another great contribution.

Thinking of this news, Zhang Lexing's face turned pale again. He asked his nephew again: "Zong Yu, according to you, how many old Hongshou soldiers are there in Hezhou now?"

The new rainbow soldiers are not strong in combat, and their equipment is just a slightly stronger level than the nicks, which is not worth mentioning. Although Zhang Zongyu is called the Living King of Hehezi, he is a very experienced figure. He immediately said, "Uncle, I guess, the old rainbow soldiers in Hezhou are originally like a thousand and a hundred people. In the past few days, there are still 1,500 people who have crossed the river one after another, and the total number is about 3,500. With the newly affiliated people, there are about 5,000 people!"

Zhang Lexing immediately asked: "Zong Yu, what do you think Liu Elang and the others think?"
Chapter completed!
