Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Cao Zheng asked: "Why are we retreating? Is Commander Lin trying to lure the enemy into deeper?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That's right, I just want to lure the enemy in!"

Cao Zheng said: "Shuai Lin, please forgive me, you have used this move many times. I know that you used this move when you regained Boli in the Northeast, and you defeated the defenders of Boli. Army, military strategists from all over the world regard it as a classic battle example, and military academies in many countries have collected this battle example for study, will the Qing army see through your strategy?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have already inquired carefully, the enemy's general in front of you is called Wu Dayong, he is a brave and foolish guy, he can't read a few big characters, how can such a guy see through my tricks to lure the enemy into deep Strategies? You can safely retreat."

Cao Zheng said: "Well, we will organize the troops to retreat!" So Cao Zheng ordered the troops to retreat gradually.

Lin Yuan's information is good, and Wu Dayong, the commander-in-chief of Hangzhou, is indeed a brave and foolhardy guy, otherwise his official position would not be under that of Wu Juren Xu Shan.Wu Dayong is still a guy who can't read a basket. The reason why he was able to be promoted to the general soldier was because of his military merits. These military achievements were promoted to the post of Hangzhou General Soldier.

Although he is the general soldier, Wu Dayong is not very interested in the formation of troops. He prefers to lead the troops to charge in person. This has little negative impact in ancient wars, because most of the ancient wars are fought by both sides who is more powerful. Ruthless, with the commander taking the lead, the pawns are naturally full of ruthlessness, but this is not the case in modern warfare, because the firepower of both sides is very strong, and the commander would be a fool to charge forward in person!

However, Lin Yuan used the idea of ​​modern warfare completely, and the weapons equipped by Lin Yuan's troops were also modernized. It seemed that Wu Dayong had to lose, but Wu Dayong had an elite staff team under his command: the Japanese Army Advisory Group!The people inside are all elites who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and they are very good at commanding battles.

The Japanese government sent them to China to accumulate experience in fighting Lin Yuan. Since the First Sino-Japanese War and the Northeast War, the Japanese army has regarded Lin Yuan as a serious threat, and they have been collecting information about Lin Yuan’s troops all the time. Now Lin Yuan and the Qing court In combat, how could the Japanese let go of this god-given opportunity to spy on the situation?

The head of this advisory group is Mori Natsutaro, a graduate of the Japanese Army University. The Japanese Army University is a military academy one level higher than the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Almost all senior Japanese military officials graduated from these. The top six graduates can have the saber bestowed by the emperor, known as the "saber group", they are the elites in the Japanese army, and Mori Natsutaro is one of them.

This advisory group was supposed to go to Pinghu, Jiaxing and other places, but no one thought that Lin Yuan's troops would arrive so quickly, from Shanghai to Zhejiang in just a few days, so the advisory group did not have time to send out, and they stayed By Wu Dayong's side, Wu Dayong attached great importance to these Japanese military advisers, and would ask them about major and minor military matters.

With the help of the intelligence established by Xu Shan, Wu Dayong also knew the news that Lin Yuan's troops had arrived in Hetang Town and Tongxiang, so he asked Morishataro: "Mr. how to spell?"

Mori Natsutaro said with a leisurely smile, "No."

Wu Dayong laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Senxia really knows how to joke. What if we don't hit us and leave Hangzhou? It's better to sleep at home!"

Mori Natsutaro said with a smile: "What I said not to fight is not not to fight at all, but not to fight now!"

Wu Dayong asked: "Why can't we fight now?"

Mori Natsutaro said with a smile: "We only know that there is an army of Lin Yuan in front of us, and we don't know anything about their numbers and composition of troops. So we just think about how to fight them. Is there any chance of winning?"

Wu Dayong smiled and said: "What Mr. said is very true. According to what Mr. said, we should..." After Wu Dayong finished speaking, he looked at Morishataro with inquiring eyes, and Morishataro smiled and said: "First, we need to send troops to scout , find out information about Lin Yuan’s army’s designation, troop composition, etc., and also know where their artillery is. You also know that the artillery of Lin Yuan’s army is the most powerful, and it’s best to kill their artillery in advance!”

Wu Dayong frowned, and said: "But the artillery of Lin Ni's banditry is often behind each unit, and there are heavy defenses. How can our people kill them?"

Morishataro laughed secretly in his heart: "Of course you Chinese people can't kill them. To kill them will definitely require our imperial army!" So Moricataro laughed and said: "Go and investigate first, we will talk about other things later."

Wu Dayong then sent people to scout, and the scouts came back soon and reported: "The bandit soldiers of Lin Ni have suddenly retreated!"

When Wu Dayong heard this, he smiled and said: "Lin Ni's bandits are nothing more than that. When they heard my name, they ran away with their tails between their legs. Quickly gather five thousand elite soldiers, and follow me into Lin Ni's formation, and capture Lin Ni alive. inverse!"

Mori Natsutaro laughed when he heard this, and Wu Dayong hurriedly asked, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Mori Natsutaro said with a smile: "I laugh at you for failing to see that this is Lin Yuan's trick to lure the enemy deep!"

Wu Dayong asked with a blank face: "Luring the enemy deep? What does this word mean?"

Mori Natsutaro said: "It is to attract you to go forward, so that he can beat you on the way. The commander-in-chief likes to listen to storytelling. I must have heard the story of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There is a story about Sun Bin and Pang Juan fighting wits. Ma Ling said that he killed Pang Juan with an arrow, and Sun Bin's trick was to lure the enemy in."

Wu Dayong scolded loudly: "What a Lin Yuan, does he think he is Sun Bin?"

Mori Natsutaro smiled and said: "Master General, please calm down. We have a total of 20 troops. The area from Hangzhou to Jiaxing is a plain. Without favorable terrain, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Yuan to successfully ambush here."

Wu Dayong asked: "What does Lin Ni want to do?"

Mori Natsutaro smiled and said, "By outflanking us, blocking our way back to Hangzhou, and annihilating us in one fell swoop! Lin Yuan has used this trick many times, and many of us have experienced it before."

Wu Dayong said: "Then what shall we do?"

Mori Natsutaro said with a smile: "In Lin Yuan's entire plan, luring the enemy deep is only the beginning. The most critical part is the outflanking and encirclement after the outflanking. It's like giving us the place for nothing, so what we have to do is: stop their outflanking!"

Wu Dayong asked: "How to stop it?"

Mori Natsutaro said: "Our army has a large number of people, so spread out our troops and increase the width of the front, so that Lin's rebellious bandits can't get around. Report any movement immediately, and we must stop them in time to prevent them from successfully outflanking them."

Wu Dayong's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your strategy is great, I'll let someone arrange it." Wu Dayong then arranged for the various troops to march separately, intending to expand the frontal width of the troops to [-] kilometers, thinking: "Now the Lin Ni bandit soldiers can't get through anyway."
