Chapter 945 Huajun with a Big Appetite
Mughal reinforcements reached Durgapur and were dumbfounded.
Their plan is to enter the Immortal Line of Defense and take advantage of the position to drag down the Chinese army.
Aurangzeb and others believe that the Achilles heel of the Chinese army is supplies.
As long as they can persist on the defense line for ten and a half months, Dahua's ammunition will be exhausted.
And they believe that without artillery support, the Chinese army without powerful firepower must be vulnerable.
At that time, they will launch a full-scale counterattack.
Although the plan is not very good, it is still a plan.
But now, when they rushed to the front line, they found that the first step of their plan had run aground, and the immortal line of defense they relied on so much hadn't even been held for two days.
This.......
Ranchi, the supreme commander of the reinforcements, just wanted to scold his mother, so it was embarrassing for him.
At this time, he was faced with a difficult decision, whether to rush forward to rescue the friendly army, or take the troops and flee quickly, retreating to the rear to build a second line of defense.
If you go to the rescue, it is possible to take this army into it.
But if there is no rescue, those surrounded friendly troops will definitely be wiped out by the Chinese army.
Reason told Ranchi that he should retreat quickly.
However, abandoning tens of thousands of troops is also a matter of great courage and courage.
This is not something he can just throw away if he wants to. Afterwards, someone will definitely hold him accountable, saying that he was helpless, that he caused the defeat of the war, and so on.
While having a high position and weight, it is also a high position with heavy responsibilities.
"My lord, let's retreat quickly. Even if we want to save them, we can't break through the defense line of the Dahua people."
Ranchi's subordinates persuaded.
Fighting against the Chinese army, even the defensive side can't get the slightest advantage.
If you take the initiative to attack, it will be even worse.
On the other hand, the Huajun is also studying how to deal with the current situation.
Going according to plan is naturally no problem.
But Chen Biju has a big appetite, and so does Hua Jun. Not only did they want to swallow the enemies in the encirclement, but they also wanted to eat the Mughal reinforcements in one go.
It is necessary to divide the troops to encircle, and to divide the main force to attack the Mughal reinforcements.
With the current strength of the Chinese army, it is relatively difficult to realize this idea.
"I think the enemy has been defeated by us. There is no need to be too cautious. You can be bolder. For the Indian troops in the encirclement, 70,000 to 80,000 people are enough.
We can at least quickly mobilize an army of 110,000 to 20,000 to attack the enemy's reinforcements. Relying on our marching speed, we can completely keep the enemy behind and surround them again. "
Standing in front of the sand table, Fu Wenxian, the commander of the second army, kept pointing on the sand table with a long stick in his hand, pointing out those places that did not need to be stationed.
In order to prevent the Indian troops in the encirclement from escaping, they have drawn a very long front line, and deployed troops at the intersections of each stronghold.
This caused them to have soldiers but were unable to draw them out.
And Fu Wenxian's meaning is very simple, that is, there is no need to encircle so tightly, and it is impossible to break through with the ability of the Indian army. Therefore, the defense of some strongholds can be withdrawn, and troops can be drawn out to attack the enemy's reinforcements.
"I don't think there is any need to be in such a hurry. Let's deal with all the enemies in the encirclement first, lest they break out and scatter to other places. At that time, we need to spend time and energy to clear them up.
Unfamiliar with life and place, the task of clearing and suppressing is more difficult than the battle of fortifications. As for the enemy's reinforcements, such a main force does not need to be dealt with at all. They have no way to escape and must stop in front of Derry.
We don't need to look for them, we can meet them all the way to Derry. When the time comes, another tough battle will be over. "
The chief of staff is different from Fu Wenxian's suggestion, he prefers to fight steadily.
His statement, of course, also has some truth.
For the Chinese army, fighting a large-scale decisive battle is the easiest thing.
If they were divided into small groups and went to the countryside to wipe out the remnants of the enemy in the mountains, it would be very difficult.
Once it cannot be eliminated in time, it will be even more troublesome if the enemy organizes guerrillas effectively. Unless they are willing to give up the countryside and only occupy the cities.
Otherwise, guerrillas cannot be allowed to exist.
"I think this is absolutely feasible. Not to mention whether the enemies in the encirclement can break through now, I think they don't even have the courage to break through now. If we send envoys there, maybe we can try to persuade them to surrender.
Moreover, now raiding the enemy's reinforcements can catch the opponent off guard. If they were allowed to leave now, they would be able to find suitable terrain barriers to build a line of defense. "
Another master chose to agree with Fu Wenxian's method in order to reduce the battle damage.
Although they like to fight tough battles, it doesn't mean that they won't lose when they fight tough battles.
In yesterday's battle, the Chinese army actually killed hundreds of people.
The casualties of these hundreds of people would have been indifferent to the Mughal Empire. But for the Huajun, it is a little bit less dead.
In contrast, the battle damage caused by raids, encirclement and division, and defeating the enemy is definitely lower than that caused by attacking fortifications.
Both sides' views were supported, and the two sides also had a less intense debate.
At this time, it depends on the choice of the frontline commander Chen Biju.
"Divide the troops and raid the enemy's reinforcements."
Chen Biju chose
The reason for Fu Wenxian's plan is also very simple. The competition in raids is speed, while the competition in assaults is firepower.
Yesterday's bombardment consumed a large amount of artillery shells from the Chinese army. These shells can only be transported from the mainland, and Bangladesh has no ability to produce them.
The transportation of these shells is also very troublesome. If too much ammunition is consumed in a battle, it will not be able to reflect his commanding skills.
At that time, when the people in the country talk about this battle, they will say that the firepower of the Chinese army defeated the Mughals, not that Chen Biju defeated the Mughals.
Furthermore, consuming less shells can also save some money for the military department, and there are still many benefits.
As for the risk of dividing troops, Fu Wenxian and others have also analyzed it, and they really don't care much.
Now the Indian army has been completely frightened, and their intelligence capabilities are poor. They may not be able to quickly get news of the separation of the Chinese army, let alone try to break through.
Chen Biju made a decision, and everyone stopped arguing immediately.
Next, what each staff officer has to do is to help Chen Biju perfect the plan for dividing troops and raiding.
Discussion is needed in the army, and a final decision is even more needed.
The war opportunity is fleeting, so how can we continue to argue endlessly.
The commander-in-chief has made a decision, and the people below only need to implement it, regardless of whether they agree with the decision in their hearts or not.
If it turns out afterwards that the commander-in-chief's decision was wrong, then the commander-in-chief is responsible, and has nothing to do with the staff below.
In the Chinese army, there is already a complete command mechanism for this kind of thing.
