Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At war between major powers, the battlefield spans thousands of miles, and the number of soldiers mobilized can often exceed hundreds of thousands. The troops are spread over a vast space. The movement of the army is almost transparent. There is no possibility of local wars such as raids.  Drama.  On such a battlefield, the key role can only be a comprehensive strategy that accumulates advantages bit by bit.

    The Caucasus War started in Tbilisi.  At that time, the imperial forward, led by General Kong Youde of the Second Army Group, arrived in the Don River Basin, including Astrakhan, Tsaritsyn and other important places. However, the Japanese Third Army in the advance was at Sarato.  Husband encountered the siege of the Russian-Finnish coalition forces moving south from the north.  All the 200,000 troops were confined to the narrow triangle area from the Don River Basin to the Volga River Basin, and were forced to build trench positions on the spot for defense!

    On the southern front, according to the empire's airship reconnaissance, the Turkish army, with nearly 600,000 enemies, is approaching Tbilisi. Behind the northern three-nation coalition forces of Russia and other northern countries, the coalition forces from dozens of European countries from Ukraine are still there.  More than one million people are arriving one after another. On the southern front, the exhausted Turkey, which has been suppressed by Xu Huang's West Asia Governor's Mansion, has pieced together an army of 600,000. It is already the Turkish Sultan Ibrahim I.  The last batch of efforts!

    As for the empire, the three legions of the First Army Group Zhang Jaw, with nearly 600,000 troops, are the elite main force of the empire. There are many generals in the tent, and their equipment has been fully weaponized. They are all breech-loaded rifled single-shot rifles.  Light and medium-caliber field artillery has also been equipped, and logistics has been localized. Its combat effectiveness is second to none in this era, and it is the elite main force of the empire!

    As for the Second Army Group, the six legions of Kong Youde's nearly one million troops are composed of local troops from various provinces and troops from affiliated countries. Their equipment is backward, and a large part of them are still in the cold weapon era, so their combat effectiveness is naturally different.  !

    As for the remaining third army group, they are the cavalry of the grassland tribes with the Mongolian Junggar Tribe¡¯s Karaqin Tribe cavalry as the core. They are extremely numerous, nearly two million in number, but they are widely distributed in the Central Asian steppes.  It is difficult to gather together in the vast area up to the Caucasus!  The practice of the prairie tribes cavalry is that they are very fierce when fighting with the wind, but when fighting a protracted battle or a headwind battle, they are slumped, which is not reliable at all!

    Based on the situation, Wei Yan chose the second plan of the staff, which was to attack the troops first, beat Turkey wildly, and push the southern front into the Greater Caucasus. Then the main force of the Zhang Jaw Army Group went south directly behind Kong Youde's troops and attacked Dibi.  Leith.

    ¡­¡­

    Tbilisi is the most strategically important city in the Caucasus. It is located between the Greater Caucasus and the Lesser Caucasus, on the banks of the Kura River in central and eastern Georgia. Down from the majestic Caucasus Plateau, Tbilisi is the first city in the Transcaucasus.  Daodinghaishenzhen.

    Now, it will become a yoke to stop the Turkish army from trekking from the mountains.

    After the First Army Group moved south, airships dropped elite troops to seize Tbilisi, directly blocking the 600,000-strong army in the narrow area between the Greater Caucasus Mountains and the Lesser Caucasus Mountains. Then the army followed up, setting off a vigorous Caucasus War.  The beginning of the battle.

    ¡­¡­

    Tracing the source is the right of the storyteller. In this earth-shattering battle, it has to be said that although General Wei Yan's strategy accurately grasped the enemy's weaknesses, he was also in some unpredictable danger.  , but if the so-called rubbish troops in the Second Army Group hadn't suddenly burst out with shocking combat power, the result might have been different.

    During this period, after more than ten years of war with the Ming Empire, both Turkey and Europe had basically realized the use of firearms. Although limited to the level of technology and industry, the use of firearms in many countries was incomplete, but its extent was  It is also roughly similar to the backward areas in Asia at this time.  The entire era has entered the era of all firearms ahead of schedule. Flintlock guns and worse matchlocks, as well as front-loading smoothbore artillery of various calibers, are the main equipment of this era.

    The strength of firearms troops is their ultra-long range, intensive firepower, and metal projectiles that far exceed the manpower of bows and arrows. In the case of a war between major powers, the training cost of firearms troops is much lower than that of elite cold weapons.  .  But all this is based on sufficient supply lines.

    Any weaponized force, especially in such a large-scale battle that exceeds human imagination, will not have any combat effectiveness if it loses the logistical support of its rear line of defense.  The more advanced the firearms-based troops are, the higher the density of firepower delivery, the greater the consumption of ammunition, and the more serious the dependence on the logistics line of defense. When the muskets in the hands of the soldiers become fire sticks, the legions are intimidated.  How could the powerful cannon turn into a bunch of iron pipes? It is completely conceivable that all the victories will be in vain.

    General Wei Yan¡¯sThe basis of the strategy is based on the fact that the back line of defense is absolutely impossible to be broken by the enemy. It has to be said that this is still a bit risky. In such a war with millions of soldiers, such a strategy is very likely to become  A fatal mistake.

    ??The arrival of the second batch of one million troops in Europe, especially the Swedish Emperor Gustavus II and the famous European general Alberecht?  Wallenstein's personal visit made General Wei Yan's mistake fatal.

    These two famous generals were keenly aware of the loopholes in the imperial defense line, and sent all the troops in the rear, including more than 60,000 Swedish elite royal musketeers, more than 200,000 Polish and Ukrainian hussars and dragoons, as well as Spanish,  The French and Balkan coalition forces rushed towards the imperial rear defense line guarded by the Second Army Group.

    The Burmese, Siamese, South Vietnamese, and North Vietnamese armies in front of them were quickly defeated. The entire Second Army Group was hit and retreated continuously. Tsaritsyn and Astrakhan were lost one after another and were forced back to Datong in the Transcaucasus.  Gerstein, the logistics line of the First Army Group is right under the front of more than one million European troops and may be cut off at any time.

    If that is the case, among the elite First Army Group of the empire are the shining imperial generals General Zhang Jaw, General Lu Xiangsheng, General Li Zicheng, General Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenyao, and later the even more famous General Cao Bianjiao, as well as a group of future  The careers of famous generals such as Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, Gao Yan and others are likely to end here.

    At this time, no one expected that the Japanese Third Army of the Imperial Western Expedition¡¯s Second Army Group would become General Wei Yan¡¯s savior!

    Most of the soldiers in this legion are Taoists from Kyushu in Dongying Province. It is said that they are all loyal to the Japanese military god General Zhang Liao. General Zhang Liao has been stationed in Japan for many years. He has created and defeated countless famous Japanese generals and killed countless Japanese martial arts.  After the master's miracles, his prestige among the Japanese people has become comparable to that of a god. So after Japan's naturalization, Japanese folk shrines advocated the use of General Zhang Liao's shrine to replace the traditional Takamagahara pantheon as the protector of Japan.  !  The bravery and bravery of General Zhang Liao's military tactics he admired had a profound influence on the people.

    In this battle, the Third Army was surrounded by nearly two million enemies. On the one hand, it was surrounded by more than 500,000 allied troops from Russia and Finland. On the other hand, on its way back south, it was surrounded by the second largest army in Europe.  Bo's army of more than one million was cut off, and in an almost desperate situation, the unique ferocity of the Japanese was aroused.  Suddenly and unexpectedly, more than 100,000 people abandoned their trench positions and made a desperate move to the north. After three days and two nights of desperate assault, they miraculously broke through the defense of the fierce Russian Legion, passed through Uralsk, and entered the former Kazakh Khanate.  The territory of the country was supported by the prairie cavalry.

    General Kong Youde, under such circumstances, also made a surprising decision to redress the entire Third Army!  The airship transport brigade parachuted thousands of miles to the Kazakh grassland with supplies, replaced all the musketeers within the Third Army with imperial-style single-shot breech-loading rifles, and equipped them with light field artillery, adding more weapons to the Third Army.  With enough penetration firepower, at this point, the equipment of the Third Army was already comparable to the most elite main force of the empire.

    After ten days of repairs, the Third Army went south again. As the spearhead of the northern cluster, it led nearly one million grassland cavalry assembled in the Kazakh grassland into the Don River Basin.  This time, the Japanese showed unprecedented assault capabilities. Within half a month, they successively broke through the defense lines of the Russian and Finnish armies. With nearly a million prairie cavalry behind them, they rushed into the Don River Basin like a flood and broke through the Russian army.  The Finnish coalition forces rushed into Crimea, which in turn cut off the retreat of the European coalition forces.

    The situation changed from the previous trend where the European and Turkish coalition forces almost surrounded the First Army Group, to the situation where the three imperial army groups simultaneously surrounded the European coalition forces in Kuban, Kabardino and other places east of the Sea of ??Azov. The situation was reversed.  !

    Everything then entered a one-way street. The Empire's First Army Group defeated the Turkish army without any surprise and pushed back the Turkish defense line to the south of the Caucasus Mountains.  Turn around and act as an arrow. After two weeks of fierce fighting, together with the Second Army Group and the Third Army Group, they surrounded and annihilated the main force of the European coalition forces, the European military god Gustavus II. In this war, he shamefully changed again.  He became a prisoner. As for Wallenstein, another European military god, he was killed on the way to escape and became a piece of dust on the Crimean Plateau!

    Most of the European coalition forces, more than one million strong, were wiped out, and the rest fled thousands of miles to Poland and the Balkans.  So far, the empire has won this crucial war. Europe has lost millions of young people and large tracts of land. It has also given up the strategic initiative and has no power to fight back!  (To be continued.
