    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 801

    In late August, in the deep night, a few stars twinkled in the night sky. Soldiers of the Qinghe Army patrol walked along the streets of Lingchuanfu, making hollow sounds.

    When the people of Lingchuan Mansion fell into a deep sleep with the sound of snoring, the headquarters of the Qinghe Army First Field Army in Lingchuan Mansion was brightly lit.

    The guards of the Qinghe Army stood on the steps outside the command headquarters. The light from the lanterns reflected their stern faces, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.

    In the spacious and bright room, a sand table was placed in the center, and the senior generals of the Qinghe Army wearing badges attended the pre-war meeting with a serious face.

    The Qinghe army has gone through intensive transportation of materials and has completed all pre-war preparations.

    Now the first field army in Yunshan will formally prepare to implement the plan to drive away wolves and tigers according to the order of the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang.

    The heads of the various banners under the First Legion all rushed to the Legion Command to participate in the pre-war meeting.

    ?Participating in the pre-war meeting included Legion Commander Liu Yidao, Deputy Corps Commanders Zhou Ba and Zhang Bao, Second Banner Commander Wang Hu, Fourth Banner Commander Li Tiechui, Fifth Banner Commander Dong Hao, and Sixth Banner Commander Guo Wei.

    In addition to them, the generals of the First Legion, Li Qiye, chief of staff of the Qinghe Army and concurrently chief of military affairs, also rushed to Yunshan Province to sit in charge in person.

    Although the head of the First Army is Liu Yidao, the generals under his command are all direct descendants of Chen Ziang.

    Chen Zi'ang sent Li Qiye, chief of staff, to the Yunshan Province to sit in command, because he was also worried that Liu Yidao would not be able to command the troops below.

    At the same time, once the battle plan to drive away wolves and tigers is completed, the Qinghe Army will be able to occupy the entire Yunshan Province, and Liu Yidao, the head of the First Army, will definitely be the first to do so.

    And Liu Yidao is not Chen Ziang's direct descendant, so Chen Ziang sent Li Qiye to sit in the town, which also has a share of the credit, in order to prevent Liu Yidao's family from dominating.

    "The commander-in-chief has given us full responsibility for the war in Yunshan Province, which means that we all have credit for winning the battle."

    "But once we lose a battle, we all have to bear the responsibility together."

    ? Chief of Staff Li Qiye tied himself to the First Legion before the meeting started, that is, since he came, he should not only share the credit, but also bear the responsibility.

    "And this is the first battle after the formation of the First Field Army Corps. I hope that everyone will work together and not let the battle flag of the First Army Corps be ashamed."

    "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, my First Legion will fight to the death!"

    Facing Li Qiye, who was sent by the headquarters to supervise the battle, Liu Yidao, the head of the legion, also expressed his position on behalf of the First Legion.

    Liu Yidao is not only the commander of the first army, but also the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army. If he loses the battle, his face will be dull, so he will go all out this time and decide to fight a beautiful victory  .

    "I won't talk too much nonsense, now I ask Deputy Marshal Liu to introduce the enemy situation and assign tasks."

    As the chief of staff, Li Qiye was sent to Yunshan Province to supervise the battle this time. Naturally, he couldn't do the work of supervising and acting on his behalf. He soon gave up his position to the deputy commander and also served as the head of the First Army Liu Yidao.

    "Our goal in the first phase is to capture Pingyong Mansion, encircle and annihilate the rebel forces in Pingyong Mansion and surrounding areas."

    "Intelligence shows that the rebel army has about 40,000 troops in Pingyong Prefecture and surrounding areas, of which 20,000 are stationed in camps outside the city of Pingyong Prefecture, and the other 20,000 are deployed in the border area near our Lingchuan Prefecture.  "Liu Yidao pointed at the sand table.

    "The rebels have now built a large number of forts and trenches in the border area, and have formed a solid line of defense."

    "Once we launch an attack on the rebels, they will be able to rely on these fortifications to hold us back, and the rebels in Pingyong Mansion will quickly reinforce them, and then we will fall into a protracted war."

    "Our task is not to engage in a war of attrition with the rebels, nor is it to eliminate their vital forces, but to capture strategically important locations, blockade and compress their living space, and force them to move to areas controlled by the Southern Army."

    "According to the combat plan formulated by the Legion's Staff Office, in the first stage, our attacking troops will bypass the frontal defense line of the rebels, seize Pingyong Mansion with lightning speed, and occupy this strategically important place."

    Liu Yidao, the deputy commander, quickly pointed to various points on the sand table and informed the generals of the situation.

    At present, the First Field Army has a huge force of six banner regiments including the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

      A considerable part of these six banner regiments are recruits recruited on the spot, but at the same time, a large number of elites are also drawn from Jiangnan Province and Jiangbei Province, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.

    Except for Guo Wei's Sixth Banner Regiment of Cavalry, which only had 2,000 cavalrymen, which was not enough, the other five banner regiments, after a period of replenishment, were already fully staffed.

    So this time the Qinghe Army has more than 100,000 troops to fight in Yunshan Province, and it is no longer the weak army it was before.

    "This time, Dong Hao's Fifth Banner Regiment is in charge of staying in Lingchuan Prefecture and Suchuan Prefecture to monitor the Southern Army."

    Dong Hao, a student of the first batch of Zhanzheng College, made great achievements as a trainee banner battalion commander in the battle of Jiangnan Province.

    Therefore, after the reorganization of the troops, as a new officer with both combat experience and military theory, he was promoted and reused, and he was promoted to the head of the Fifth Banner of the First Army.

    It's just that Dong Hao, the head of the Fifth Banner, just took office not long ago. Although his injuries are almost healed, he still needs a period of recuperation.

    Therefore, Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao asked Dong Hao's Fifth Banner Regiment to stay in Lingchuan Prefecture and Suchuan Prefecture and not participate in offensive operations.

    Dong Hao knows that he can only be regarded as a junior among the several banner commanders. Back then, Zhang Bao, Wang Hu and others were all banner battalion commanders when he was just a leader.

    Although he was unable to participate in offensive activities and had fewer opportunities to make meritorious service, Dong Hao knew that there would be more opportunities in the future, so he did not have the slightest objection and took the order loudly.

    "Brother Leopard, this time you will lead the Third Banner Regiment to contain the rebel troops on the border. Once we succeed, the rebels on the border will definitely retreat, and you will be responsible for occupying the border area then."

    "No!"

    Zhang Bao, deputy head of the army, nodded and agreed.

    "Brother Zhou Ba, you lead the First Banner Regiment to capture the first echelon of Pingyong Mansion this time, bypass the border area, and go straight into Pingyong Mansion. Two thousand cavalry brothers from the Sixth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry will accompany you in the first echelon  action."

    "The second and fourth banner regiments are the second echelon of attack, led by me personally, and will follow up later."

    Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao quickly assigned the task. The combat troops participating in the capture of Pingyong Mansion were four infantry flag regiments and one cavalry flag regiment (actually 2,000 cavalry).

    "Our offensive troops must be swift and fast. Each person should carry five days of dry food. The enemies in the cities and towns along the way should be ignored. The goal is to capture Pingyong Mansion. Are you all clear about your mission?"

    "clear!"

    "This battle is the first battle after the establishment of my First Field Army Corps. You also tell every brother that you must go all out. If anyone embarrasses Liu Yidao, I will make it difficult for anyone to stay in the First Army Corps!"

    After finishing his speech, Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao looked around the crowd again, emphasizing the importance of this battle.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
