Throughout the ages, people have been pursuing balance.

On the battlefield alone, balance represents danger.

Because the strength of both sides on the battlefield increases or decreases, the balance will be overturned immediately, which will trigger a chain effect.

This is the case with the current Korean battlefield.

After understanding Zuo Menggeng's intention, what Liu Yiyuan needs to consider is, does he still have the power to break the balance?
If there is such power, where should it be used?
"Since His Highness entrusted us with such a task, it means that the place where we can make a fuss is not the western front, but the eastern front."

Dongzhi's staff officers are very powerful and have already analyzed many things.

Now the two groups of South and North have formed two command centers.

In the case of the northern line, Zuo Menggeng personally sits in charge.

Although he never interfered with Dongzhi's command, with such a Dinghaishenzhen, there was no need to worry about the situation on the northern front.

Dong Zhi reduces the workload and can think more.

After being reminded by the staff officer, Liu Yiyuan observed the topography of the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.

With the Xia army occupying Hanyang and Incheon, the usable area on the west coast has been greatly reduced.At the same time, because Pyongyang is on this side, the Qing army will definitely take precautions to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Furthermore, the strength of the northern front has been used to the extreme.Even if you want to play cross-sea landing again, you can't withdraw it.

So the only place where you can make a fuss is the east coast.

Although the fourth and fifth divisions were also unable to divide their troops, Liu Yiyuan still had a lot of strength at hand.

"Let Zhang Guanhua come to see me."

Coincidentally, Liu Yiyuan took the same approach as Zuo Menggeng when the troops were stretched.

He decided to use the North Korean Second Division.

After the division of the North Korean Rebel Army, the North Korean Second Division has been fighting with the Fourth Division.However, because it is not the main force, it can only do some leftover work.

Liu Yiyuan dispatched the Second Korean Division to go northward along the east coast, recovering Ulsan and Pohang along the way.Now stationed in Ulzhen, ready to reinforce the front line at any time.

Zhang Guanhua came very quickly.

"Commander, do we need to go up? Our North Korean Second Division has already made preparations."

Liu Yiyuan was extremely happy to see him seeking for a fight wholeheartedly.

As a commander in chief, who doesn't like such a subordinate?
"You are needed. But the task is a bit difficult, so you must be mentally prepared."

Zhang Guanhua was extremely smart, and he recognized it immediately.

"Not attacking the mountain?"

Liu Yiyuan laughed out loud.

"If you want to attack the mountain, aren't the fourth and fifth divisions enough?"

The subtext is that the combat effectiveness of the North Korean Second Division cannot be compared with the main force.

Zhang Guanhua didn't blush either, it turned out to be the case.

"What is our mission?"

Liu Yiyuan's finger landed on the map.

"I plan to ask the navy to help transport you here and give the Qing coalition forces a shot from behind."

Rao Zhang Guanhua was so bold that his heart skipped a beat.

The place Liu Yiyuan chose was too amazing.

Moreover, this place is far away from all fronts, as if it has nothing to do with it.

"If our army lands on Wonsan, it may take a lot of time to move to the enemy's rear. The enemy will definitely react, and I'm afraid it won't work."

The attack location Liu Yiyuan chose for the North Korean Second Division was Wonsan on the east coast.

The reason why they chose this place was inspired by the escort of Hong Yihan, Lin Qingye and others back then.

At that time, the intelligence department avoided Jin Zidian's siege and interception, and finally boarded the navy ship in Xingnan, which allowed Hong Yihan and Lin Qingye to return to the south.

And Yuanshan is just south of Xingnan, and has this very good bay, which is very suitable for landing operations.

Liu Yiyuan answered Zhang Guanhua's concerns.

"The role of your department is not to outflank operations, but to penetrate behind enemy lines and destroy traffic and supply lines."

Liu Yiyuan fully understood what Zuo Menggeng meant.

He didn't expect the North Korean Second Division to turn things around on its own.

This is a second-line force, and it must play the role that a second-line force should have.

But the destructive power of going deep behind enemy lines should not be underestimated.

The [-] Qing coalition forces already on the front line need massive supplies.Once there is a problem with the logistics line, it will inevitably have a fatal impact on frontal operations.

Can the North Korean Second Division complete this task?

of course can.

Now all the troops of the Qing coalition forces are piled up on the frontal battlefield, and the vast north of the Korean Peninsula is empty.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Huang Taiji and Li Zhen are now unable to form an army of thousands of people.

If tens of thousands of troops from the North Korean Second Division rushed here, it would be the same as Monkey King entering the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and it would definitely turn the world upside down.

"Your main task is to destroy the enemy's supply lines. Of course, if you think it is appropriate, it is not impossible to capture Gushan and threaten Pyongyang."

In short, in one sentence, Liu Yiyuan's requirements for the North Korean Second Division are very loose.

The North Korean Second Division operates independently, depending on the situation, and does not even need to report upwards.

This is also a necessary condition for fighting behind enemy lines.

Gushan is located in the middle of the east and west coastlines, and its geographical location is very important.The North Korean Second Division didn't even need to capture this place. As long as there was a threat, the logistics and transportation of the Qing coalition forces would never be peaceful.

And across Gushan, Pyongyang is far away.

Pyongyang, which is extremely empty, must be shocked three times a day, and it needs to redeploy its troops to ensure safety.

Zhang Guanhua understood the intention of the battle, and then looked at the extremely vast area, and immediately understood the difficulty.

"If our army goes deep into the enemy's rear, if we want to play a role, we must first focus on two points. First, the place of Wonsan cannot be lost. This is our only way of retreat; second, our troops need to be deployed in a dispersed manner, preferably in the form of small groups. .In this case, a lot of people who understand the local situation are needed to help. I don’t have it on hand, and I hope the command can provide it.”

Although most of the North Korean Second Division are Koreans, they all come from the southern part of the Korean peninsula.Regarding the situation in the north, their eyes were also darkened.

When fighting deep behind enemy lines, the role of the guide is beyond doubt.

"Helpers have already been found for you?"

Liu Yiyuan made perfect preparations.

So Cui Xiaoyi brought some young North Korean scholars to Dongzhi.

"Commander, these are my best friends, and they are very loyal. This time, they will definitely help General Zhang complete his mission."

With Zuo Menggeng's promise, Cui Xiaoyi realized a greater value in life.

Not only that, he also found his close friends and friends, hoping to make progress together.

Huang Yihao, brothers Che Liliang and Che Zhongliang, An Kejian, and his cousin Zhang Houjian.All of them were the loyal people who accompanied him to die generously in the original history.

Seeing how talented these people looked, Liu Yiyuan also liked it very much.

"Everyone, please take care of me."

Seeing Liu Yiyuan being so kind, Huang Yihao and the others were all dizzy.

Especially when they saw that Liu Yiyuan was younger than them, but he was able to command thousands of troops, they were even more envious.

"Commander, we also want to join the Xia Army, please give us a chance."

Some people are willing to join, of course Liu Yiyuan is happy to see the success.

"After this battle is over, I will personally write a letter of recommendation for you to go to the military academy to study."
