There was a faint night outside the door, and the sound of soldiers and horses mobilized faintly came in. The autumn wind blew in from the door with a trace of cold air, and the candlelight swayed, shining on Li Xiang's face.

"The grandson said: If you can't control it, you can't do it." Li wanted to look at the deep night sky outside the door and said, and his dark pupils were as deep as the night sky. If we show up our strength and can't beat Yuan Shikai, you can make a battle plan according to the concept of strategic defense.

Zeng Gao discussed the troop configuration around the defense circle of Wushengguan on the map, and began to circle the points on the map with a pencil. Li Shang also looked at it on the side, sometimes helping to palm the lamp. He didn't understand the specific work, so he took this opportunity to study hard.

The main body of the war is the army, and the combat task must be completed by the army. Therefore, in battles and battles, investing realistic combat objectives and the required force is an important part of military strategy. Force input is to establish the situation and method of troop input according to the situation of the enemy and the purpose of each battle, as well as the external conditions of the operation, such as the right time, place, and people.

Zeng Gao suddenly looked up at Li Xiang and asked, "Does Hankou's troops also want to be involved in this battle?"

Li Xiang's eyebrows are frivolous, and the word Hankou is annoying when he hears it now. I worked hard, and many of my subordinates bled and sacrificed the revolutionary fruits of their achievements. Seeing others reaching out to pick peaches, Li wanted to hate it. At the beginning, when he crossed the river revolution, many people looked on him coldly and ignored him. Before crossing the river, it was noisy outside Wenchang Gate, and there was not even a person in Wuchang City who came to see him off. After crossing the river, I don't know how many people are waiting to see his jokes, and I don't know how many people are waiting to see him lose. In the continuous wars in Hankou, Wuchang did not send a single soldier to cross the river to help.

Now how many people sitting in the Red Mansion in Wuchang have shed a drop of blood and a drop of sweat for the Wuchang Uprising? How many people are sincerely planning for the revolution? There was not much effort on the battlefield. They grabbed the fruits of the revolution, and they were as fierce as tigers.

Now Li Xiang is still fighting against the enemy for the revolutionary cause. His head was almost pierced by bullets, and he just passed by reincarnation. After the integration of Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang Army stared at Hubei and stared greedily at a fat deer. Li wanted to deal with Yuan Shikai with all his strength. It was okay if Wuchang refused to help, but he made a fugi for him in the back and wanted to seize Hankou.

Li Xiang really hated having to take care of Yuan Shikai. He turned around and bit them fiercely. But I also know that this idea can only be thought in my heart. If the Beiyang army commander is allowed to go south, it is to give up the results of the previous desperate efforts and give up the newly restored large territory of Hubei. History will return to the distance, and the battlefield will return to Yangxia. There are only a few words about the battle of Yangxia in the history textbook, but the words are bloody. How can Li Xiang pretend not to know this history?

Li Xiang was asked by Zeng Gaoyi. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He walked back and forth uneasily. Now I can't take care of Hankou, but I won't foolishly make room for others, and I will leave some people to disgust them. He cursed and said, "If others want to come to Hankou, I don't have time to organize it now, but we can't make room for others honestly. Let Feng Xiaoqi and others stay on my buttocks and wait for me to go back.

Zeng Gao couldn't laugh and cry, and Li Xiang was so angry that he had to play a scoundrel. Even if Feng Xiaoqi doesn't leave, Song Jiaoren can completely pull up the flag of the alliance. It should be noted that if there is no support from the army behind Feng Xiaoyu, the Hankou gentry will not easily be like Song Jiaoren, so Zeng Gaocai asked whether the Hankou army would participate in this battle. Li wanted to say that he didn't leave with his buttocks, which was completely a moment of anger.

"Feng Xiaoqi doesn't move, and Li Xiping can't move either." Zeng Gao said, he looked at the anxious Li Xiang in front of him, who was walking around, and sighed secretly. This war that began with the Wuchang Uprising in 1911 has only seen Li Xiang alone. Nowadays, it is not enough for some people to enjoy their success. If they find some reasons, they want to kill him. Only by leaving Li Xiping can we make a difference in Hankou.

Speaking of troop deployment, Li Xiang suddenly woke up. No, Li Xiping can't stay in Hankou. Just leave a regiment to stay in Hankou, and Hankou will add nausea to them. I'm having a hard time, and they don't want to be happy.

Li wanted to sit back in the chair as he spoke. Li Xiping had already arranged for him to go. Li Xiping went to Huangzhou Mansion, which is his hometown. Duan Qirui's Second Army was preparing in Jiangbei, so I sent Li Xiping to Huangzhou to prepare.

Zeng Gaozheng was worried that he didn't know where to transfer troops to deal with Jiangbei Duan Qirui. It turned out that Li Xiang had already had a belly draft. It's just that there is no difference between Hankou and Gongshou. Wuchang has given up, and Hankou has to let people again. Comrades are bleeding all the way. How can they swallow this breath? Everything is because of the concern for the overall situation. Li Xiang, who has always been domineering and refuses to suffer a little loss, swallowed his anger this time.

Zeng Gao hoped that Li Xiang could put the overall situation first, but when he really saw Li Xiang's choice, he was unwilling again. Zeng Gao looked at Li Xiang in a complicated mood and saw a trace of loneliness in Li Xiang's unruly eyes. Li Shang had already put a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke ring out of his mouth seemed to have a helpless feeling flashed away.

Several staff officers have put down their work and listened attentively to their conversation. The staff have a lot of information, which is naturally the change of Hankou. He followed Li Xiang all the way from Wuchang to Hubei. This revolutionary base is all made by them, and they have their advice in every battle. Now they have to give up Hankou. They are bleeding, and others pick peaches. They are unwilling, and there are ten thousand unwillingness in their hearts. With red eyes one by one, they looked at Li Xiang, and the sound of Xiuhua needle falling to the ground could be heard quietly in the battle room.

Li Xiang was warm in his heart. He made desperate efforts, and finally someone saw and understood. He swallowed the smoke ring and remembered the emotion in the bottom of his heart. There was an indifferent smile on the corners of his mouth and scolded, "What are you looking at? Do your thing. The battle plan can't come out tonight. Let's send you to the recruit training camp.

Li wanted to scold like this, but he threw the last half pack of cigarettes on his body to them. Li wanted to reserve a large amount of military grain and fodder through Xinhua Yangxing before the war, but there was no reserve of tobacco. Tobacco used to be imported from Nanyang, and the first cigarette factory in Hankou is also under construction. Li wants to leave this half a pack of cigarettes. He will not be able to smoke for a long time in the future. Several staff officers also had been out of smoking for a long time. Looking at Li Xiang, he was a little addicted to smoking, and half a pack of cigarettes was robbed by them.

"Li Xiping has only one mixed independent brigade. Is it too little too much?" Zeng Gao spit out a smoke ring, and his voice was a little fluttering.

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "A lot, I designated Huangzhou as the second war zone, and Li Xiping as the commander of the second war zone. The combat effectiveness of this mixed independent brigade can be used as a strategic force. As long as he recruits reserve troops in the local area, he can take advantage of the favorable terrain of the mountains and hills of Huangzhou, which can completely delay Duan Qirui.

Zeng Gao also understood Li Xiang's intention and said, "The marshal saw that Feng Guozhang was the main attack, and Duan Qirui may not invade Huangzhou Prefecture. What's more, he does not have this strength in his hands. The main force of Beiyang is in the hands of Feng Guozhang. Therefore, there is little possibility that there will be a big battle in Huangzhou. Li Xiping is just fighting with Duan Qirui. His role is to train troops, cultivate combat effectiveness, and contain and consume the enemy through small-scale battles.

Li Xiang sighed, "You can see it too! We barely have enough troops for frontal defense, but there are too few defensive reserves, or student soldiers with uneven combat strength, or new recruits who have just been recruited and have not been trained. Inability to expand the results or deal with emergencies.

This is the current situation of the revolutionary army. The combat effectiveness of the reserve is so bad that it is really difficult to complete the strategic task of supporting and stabilizing the battlefield.

Zeng Gao also sighed, "As long as we meet the Beiyang Army, our successor will be powerless. Even if new combat effectiveness is trained from the second battlefield and pulled to the first battlefield one by one, it is only enough to fill the gap or stop the enemy's attack, and it has not played much role.

Zeng Gao also worked hard to deduce the current defensive battle situation. The purpose of defensive combat is to guard the main combat areas, such as towns, passes, traffic arteries; or to prevent the enemy from approaching important centers and areas. In the tug-of-war in the position, the two armies consumed a lot. Zeng Gao also drank foreign ink and learned systematic modern warfare. It is known that in modern corps war, it is easy to concentrate many powerful attack weapons, and the city on the defensive side has become as fragile as paper. Without the advantages in ancient defense warfare, it is more likely to be hit hard. And defense is the front line of Mianyuan. When the front line is long, it is inevitable that there will always be weak points.

Zeng Gao stared at the map of several staff officers who were still drawing and said, "So, once the front defense line is broken through and it is too late to be blocked by reinforcements, it is very likely to cause the collapse of the whole front."

Several staff officers also stopped their homework and realized that something was wrong. At this point, we can see the seriousness of the situation. Their combat plan is completely taught by the military academy, regular strategic defense, and they don't know what the problem is.

Li wanted to take a look at the map and realized that the problem was that it was exactly the German. If the recruits of the Revolutionary Army have the quality of the German strategic forces, they can definitely fight a positional battle with the Beiyang Army. Without this quality, it is impossible for the new recruits to fight against the well-trained Beiyang army in positional warfare.

Li Xiangxiao said, "You can't focus on position warfare. You should use the deep ladder configuration to carry out mobile battles. Or simply use us to be familiar with the mountains and consume the enemy in sports warfare. In sports battles, it can also play a role in cultivating the combat effectiveness of the new army and training the troops.

Li Xiang's playing style, these foreign elites have really not read the tactical teaching code, and looked at Li Xiang in surprise.

Li Xiang couldn't help but say proudly, "When defending, you can't just defend. You can also concentrate our elites and launch limited offensives and counterattacks to contain and consume the enemy. While restraining the enemy's main force head-on, organize troops to move around and carry out internal and external operations, supplemented by powerful campaign counterattacks and local attacks. Don't forget that Hubei is our home court.

Isn't this the other party eating my car and I eat the other party's pawn. Although both sides lost a son, they still suffered a great loss. Several staff officers thought that Li Xiang's tactics still had little impact on the overall situation.

Zeng Gao frowned and thought for a moment and said, "But the strength of the Beiyang Army is much stronger than ours. On the front battlefield, his main attack direction still can't be defended."

Li Xiang seemed to have known that he had asked from this question. He still cared too much about the gains and losses of one city and one place, thus imprisoned his combat ideas. He smiled softly and was even more proud. The fixation of the front-line position is important and necessary, but it is not the only and immutable. Timely retreat is not only an effective supplement to defensive operations, but also a positive measure to preserve the strength of the great disparity between the enemy and us.

Li wants to talk about his dry mouth, and no matter how many people wait for him to finish speaking, he will pour a cup of herbal tea to moisten his throat first. As you said, once the front defense line is broken through and it is not enough to be blocked by reinforcements, it is very likely to cause the collapse of the whole front. Therefore, it is unwise not to retreat when you retreat. If you retreat and lose, you will miss the fighter.

"Once you retreat, won't the front collapse?" A staff officer couldn't help interrupting and asking.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "So, there is no defense, and there is no defense. Strategic defense is important. As long as you make preparations for one-by-step defense in advance according to the expected battle plan and development process, this is the ultimate performance of ladder defense, and the gains and losses of one city and one place will no longer be important. And as the front lengths, the enemy's weaknesses are also amplified. This is strategic defense."

Zeng Gaoren couldn't help clapping. Li Xiang's strategy can always give people miracles. Li thought that the strategic defense was to use Rou Kegang's Taijiquan. Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army punched it out heavily and hit it all on powerless cotton.
