Zhang Han listened with sincerity, and his mind had already floated into the distance.

His place should be the northern end of Shangyi and Xuanhua in later generations. Angulinao was the Zhangbei region of later generations. It is a famous tourist attraction. Starting from Angulinao with a low-altitude pure grassland landform, crossing the Huapi Ridge at an altitude of 2,000 meters. In front is the Xilinguoluo grassland where the Wengniute tribe is located. Chahanhot and Chahar people are in the Chifeng area of ​​later generations, and the intersection of Yanshan Mountains and Daxinganling Mountains. Half of them are mountainous and hilly. At this time,

There was no development, only the Three-Guard Cities under the rule of King Ning, such as Daning, were considered as civilization relics. Chahanhot, where Lin Dankhan is located, is also a good city. After all, the Chahar tribe was very powerful when it was built, much stronger than the Baicheng of the Ordos people and the Grejuergen City. It is far inferior to Qingcheng. Lin Dankhan and the Chahar people have always claimed to be the great khans of the Mongolian Communist Party's Golden Family, but the real strong figure in the past few decades is Altan Khan.

Now the Third Regiment and the Second Light Artillery Regiment are marching on the Hu, Lun, Bei, and Er grasslands. They should enter the Great Xing'an Mountains ten days later and intersperse behind the Chahars, which is the Tongliao area in later generations.

If you expand a map, you will find that this is an extremely spectacular progress. There are countless left-wing Mongolian tribes in the vast area of ​​three thousand miles, including the Mongolian Communist Party Khan and the last pride of the Golden Family. There are several arrows where they occupy, and the leftmost one has already turned diagonally northeast, and then there are lines from Anguli Nao to Shangyi Fort.

All arrows point to the northeast, vaguely surrounding Chahanhot.

At this time, a large number of carriages passed by, and the convoys lined up in huge formations. Countless baggage soldiers walked along with the convoy in cotton armor or sat on the carriages.

Each large cart has about four to six horses to pull horses. Thanks to its development on the grassland, Hutchison has never lacked supply of war horses. A large number of war horses are supplied to the army, while ordinary horses are used by the baggage team.

More herders began to raise horses on a large scale because they found that after the Han people entered the grassland, they also needed horses in the border town of Daming, and Hutchison needed more war horses and horse picking. Raising horses could easily earn wealth. More and more herdsmen were raising horses, and a large number of horse herds appeared in the pastures everywhere.

Looking northeast from the height of the abandoned military fort, thousands of troops heading north, and the entire grassland seemed to be filled with troops. There were dragoons wearing silver armor or breastplates everywhere, musketeers wearing mail and baggage soldiers wearing mail, marching towards the east in a steady stream.

Hutchison shows strong mobilization and logistical support capabilities, which is not simple and can be said to be quite proud.

Zhang Han and others climbed down the military fort, rode their horses forward, and mixed with the army and the convoys. Zhang Hanyang whipped the horse, which was quite energetic.

After arriving outside Jizhenkou and passing Gubeikou, we had already passed the junction between Kalaqin and Chahar people. This was the base of advance, and the supply base of the rear command center, field hospital and baggage center. The entire radius of dozens of miles has become a military city and a large rear base. The engineers built a large number of temporary buildings and huge tents here. The military commanders over 100 pond horses kept coming in and out of this huge honeycomb-like base. The guards were particularly tight. Even Zhang Han and others were interrogated and checked the passwords.

When the dragon cavalry soldiers were doing this, Zhang Han smiled and showed his waist card, without any displeasure.

Liang Xing is the general responsible person of the forward base. Liang Xing has a low presence in recent years, but Zhang Han still entrusted him with important responsibilities during this battle.

The battle was about to happen, and everyone had no time to greet each other and went directly to the command room prepared by Liang Xing for Zhang Han.

The room was filled with smoke, and a group of staff and military commanders were preparing nervously. A detailed map of the first lieutenant was hung in the house, including the location of each tribe to Chahar, every river, mountain, grassland, and dense forest, which were basically marked.

In addition to the map, it was a sand table, which took even more effort. A group of young staff members took months to prepare the sand table. At the beginning of this war, they marked the locations of each unit on the sand table, and then used a ruler to calculate the movement every day.

Liang Xing pointed to the sand table with a long bamboo pole and introduced: "My lords, our army began to prepare since last winter. The re-set battle was equivalent to a trick. A large number of military supplies began to move to the Shangyi area as early as last winter. The materials for building this forward base were prepared before the New Year and the personnel were basically complete. The benefits of the spring offensive are quite obvious. When the hunting cavalry first dispatched, quite a few Chahars were caught off guard and were attacked by our army and fled. The entire front line, more than 730 miles north and south, was about dozens of scattered pastures, 10,000 yuan.

About a thousand Chahar people were on the front line and fled under the attacks of our army on multiple fronts. After that, as soon as the proclamation arrived, our army convened various alliances in the Kalaqin area in front. There were about 7,000 civilian soldiers from many small tribes willing to lead our army. Now they are on the route of marching into the Zarut and Bahrain divisions, followed by our army's Ninth Dragon Cavalry Regiment. The main force of the hunting cavalry and the lances were unfolding to the northern front. According to the Tang newspaper last night, from more than 700 miles to the southern front, all the vanguard troops advanced 90 to 110 miles forward."

"The decisive battle site we have reserved is from Chahanhot to the old Liao Zhongjing or the old Daning Dushi Acropolis. The landform is mainly grassland and forest land, which is easy to expand the army, followed by continuous mountains. Our advance team led the foreign cavalry to be behind the Korqin side. The Third Regiment is expected to be unfolded behind the Chahars, leaving them with no way to escape. The army attacked Chahanhot with a thunder and even force, and it is necessary to reach an encirclement situation in the shortest time. Lin Danhan could not have the confidence to fight and fight in a decisive battle. It is expected that our army will not encounter large-scale cavalry wars, but small-scale harassment, pursuit wars, and clearing wars are inevitable. The key is that our army must act quickly, and we must hold Lin Danhan before he heard the news to his determination to escape, so that he feels that there are enemies in all directions."

Liang Xing looked very serious, but in fact he was very relaxed inside.

This is the same mentality as many generals. They mobilized more than a dozen regiments and a hundred brigades of baggage troops, and this force was enough to invade the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people even have a bold idea. If they were not facing the threat of the Jurchens that might appear, they could have taken advantage of the situation to attack the Ming Dynasty. From Datong to Xuanfu, they were almost unprepared. The generals of the Ming army to the garrison had been infiltrated like sieves. Perhaps after Hutchison showed strong power, those guys would have surrendered directly.

As for Jizhen area, from Gubeikou to Xifengkou and then to Dushikou Zijing Pass, it can be broken almost instantly. Many officers are confident that they can complete the complete breakthrough within three days, and take down many outer cities of the capital such as Santunying Jizhou Zunhua and other capitals within ten days, and complete the battle to surround Beijing and conquer the capital within one month.

The entire Jiubian and the north were captured within two months, and the Ming Dynasty issued an edict.

Of course, this is the most ideal state. Facing the Ming Dynasty, which has 900,000 border troops and more than 100,000 Beijing soldiers, it is also necessary to be more cautious.

The trouble is that there may be a state of war and disaster. There were many relatives in the Ming Dynasty in the local area. In normal times, these relatives were raised as pigs. Once the capital was suddenly conquered, it is very likely that local officials would support the relatives, and Hutchison was not afraid of military force, but they were worried that they would spend their energy on suppressing the rebellion in the next twenty years.

"We must notify Li Congye and draw elite soldiers and generals along the Zhaer River to Mudashanwei as soon as possible." Zhang Han said calmly: "The advance team has a small number of people and is not very sufficient firepower. If the Korqin people make up their minds, the foreign cavalry may not be able to rely on them."

Xia Xiping and other staff members asked to record immediately. If the Third Regiment supports it, it is necessary to draw some personnel from the Hunting Regiment to support the Left Route Army. After all, the pressure there should be greater.

Of course it is not the pressure of war, but the arrival of herders who are defeated and fleeing all over the mountains and fields is likely to break through the blockade.

"The attack base is located 170 miles northeast," Liang Xing finally pursed his lips and said, "The left side is commanded by Li Fengye, with the Third Dragoon Regiment, the Second Independent Cavalry Battalion, the Third Light Artillery Regiment, the Barhu people, various prodigal cavalry and advance teams. The commander of the middle route is Zhou Yao, with the First Lancer Regiment, the Second Regiment, the First Cavalry Regiment, and the First Light Artillery Regiment. The right side command is commanded by me, with five Dragoon Regiment, the Third Independent Cavalry Battalion, and three artillery battalions, which are the right wing of the army.

The main target of attacking the main force is to prevent the Chahars from escaping to the Korqin tribe, and to suppress the Korqin people. Now all units have achieved pure cavalry without trekking, and the 95th Bailout Brigade provides logistics for the front line. The two combat engineering battalions dispersed their departments to assist in various civil engineering operations. It is March 23, 1960, and it is expected that within seven days the main force can advance along the line of the old Zhongdu line and two wings. Within ten days, all the main force will be pushed to the dividing line, and within fifteen days, all the enemy territory will be entered."

The dispatch and preparation of the army, coupled with the real investment in the battlefield, can be spread along the 700-mile long front line in less than a month, and can arrive at the battlefield simultaneously within almost three days. This is already a very remarkable achievement. In the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, preparations would take at least half a year, and hundreds of thousands of civil servants would be mobilized to assist in logistics and organization. The prefectures and counties along the way would have to mobilize hundreds of thousands of civil servants. After entering the grassland, the number of civil servants would have to be at least 300,000 along the way.

"This is a preview of a large war..." Zhang Han was also a little excited, and he said in a deep voice: "In the future, we may mobilize more troops. This time it is a preview and test. I hope everyone can work hard to achieve the final..."

"Yes, please don't worry, sir."

Compared to Zhang Han's caution, the participants in the conference room had much easier answers.
