1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The Fifth Brigade is already in place. We can launch a general attack on Abres tomorrow."

"The Seventh Brigade is changing guard and may not be able to catch up."

"The Arab Ranger Regiment that was replaced took the initiative to participate in the task of clearing the remaining enemies on the supply line, which can be regarded as relieving some of the pressure on the troops."

"After two withdrawals in the south, the remaining Arabs still have one division and one brigade, more than 20,000 people. The credibility is... average."

On the afternoon of the 29th, the Chief of Staff and Wang Xu summarized the current situation.

"Let the 11th Division stop the blockade mission and reduce the blockade to the navy. What do you think?" Wang Xu did not respond to the situation, but continued to mobilize the troops on the southern line.

"Transfer the 11th Division again? Where to?" The Chief of Staff could not see where the 11th Division could go.

The 11th Division is actually equivalent to their general reserve. Now that it has been mobilized, there is really no large-scale army that can be mobilized at will.

Discussion group

"After fighting for so long, the Mesopotamians who are still staying in Basra are basically diehards. After taking down Abres, we will officially start attacking Basra according to the original plan.

The 11th Division will go north and take Baghdad directly to keep an eye on the remaining enemies." Wang Xu said.

It is not difficult to take down Basra and Baghdad. The difficulty lies in how to pay as little price as possible.

The optimal solution is to let the Arabs attack, and bombard them before the attack, which will not only hit the enemy's morale, but also cut off the Arabs' retreat.

It's like on the battlefield, you are a defender, teammate, captain, or even a relative who is killed by the enemy, and then the enemy comes up and says he wants to surrender. Will you accept it?

"Are you afraid that the defenders in Baghdad will escape?" The chief of staff suddenly realized.

Don't look at Nanhua's timidity in street fighting. If it's a field battle, Nanhua is not afraid of anyone-or it can be said that everyone is a little jerk.

"That's fine. The southern line doesn't need too many troops, and the Arabs can be gnawed slowly." The chief of staff nodded.

The meaning of the General Staff is very clear - the key point of this war is to go slow, the slower the better.

In this case, there is no need to waste a large number of supplies and soldiers in street fighting.

The Arabs are a very cost-effective choice!

Otherwise, with the usual characteristics of Nanhua attacking cities, they would first fire tens of thousands of shells to hear the sound, and then bomb with planes, and then use incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs according to the situation.

"The Fifth Brigade..." Wang Xu looked back.

"Has the Air Force coordinated?" Wang Xu sat back in his chair.

"The negotiations have been completed. In addition, the General Staff has reported this situation to His Majesty. Fortunately, it is just a group of rabble. If it is a regular army, the tactic of cutting off in the middle will be useless, and it will have to bear considerable losses." The Chief of Staff looked fortunate.

As the saying goes, early detection and early treatment, the earlier the detection, the easier it is to treat and the lower the cost.

"On the contrary, if it is a serious national war, we don't have so many restrictions. Large troop groups will gather in a roundabout way, attack the enemy and rescue them, and defeat the enemy in the field. No one can stop them." Wang Xu yawned and said it as a matter of course.

This is basically the basic combat method of blitzkrieg in the early stage of World War II. As long as the enemy does not have the corresponding mobile force, it can only passively be beaten.

Some people say that it was the muddy land of Russia that defeated the Germans, but the red armored force that is gradually becoming stronger is not seen.

After several defensive battles, the armored force of the giant bear has overwhelmed the Germans. Even with sufficient logistics, the Germans can no longer reproduce the blitzkrieg.

"Call back the Fifth Brigade. At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 30th, the Air Force will bomb Abris and strive to wipe out the enemy."

...

While Wang Xu was studying how to minimize casualties, Liu Yiming also got the report from the General Staff.

"The liaison between the various arms is not close, which is inconsistent with the idea of ​​building a small and powerful army that we advocate." Yang Tao said.

This was the idea when Nanhua was first established. At that time, there were not many people in Nanhua, and it was necessary to carry out industrial construction, agricultural production, cultivate various talents, and build a navy. There were not enough people.

Although it has been better in recent years, due to the promotion of comprehensive reserve construction, the external environment of Nanhua does not need to maintain the Continental Army, so the army is still small.

If only the regular army is counted, the Nanhua Army has more than 200,000 people, which is only more than the United States among the first-, second-, or even third-rate powers.

As we all know, the biggest threat to the American democratic system is the US regular army-for a long time, the US regular army has only tens of thousands of people, and has long been in arrears of wages.

(The US Army has had many incidents, including mutinies, all because the government owed wages...)

But Nanhua has a construction corps, militia, and reserve forces. It is large in scale and well trained. After three months of training, it is a qualified recruit.

The United States has a good navy, plus a superior geographical environment, so it is not too late to train soldiers after the war. (And they have the National Guard, which is also a militia reserve.)

Liu Yiming is thinking about one thing. If it is not to build a continental army, the human resources of South China are not rich enough to build a continental army.

"Do you think that building a composite force, that is, combining multiple arms into one unit, can effectively solve this problem?" Liu Yiming asked.

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully: "In theory, it can cope with the current situation, but there are still many problems."

Liu Yiming nodded, motioning him to continue.

Yang Tao was a little dumbfounded, resisting the urge to scratch his head, and spoke slowly.

"If it is a multi-service force, there should be no tactical mistakes caused by coordination problems. For example, armored forces and infantry can coordinate well because their commanders know what to consider and their logistics know what to do."

"But the problem is that we don't have a commander who is proficient in sea, land and air operations, and airships need to be used in a concentrated manner to highlight their power. It is too luxurious to assign them to division-level troops." Yang Tao didn't know what to say after he finished speaking.

Talking about logistics? Isn't that just repeating?

"If there is no one, cultivate it. The importance of the air force is becoming more and more prominent. Future commanders must know about air-ground joint operations. Now is the time to lay the foundation. People have limited energy, and they can also consider upgrading the staff system." Liu Yiming originally wanted to say synthetic operations.

But the concept of the combined brigade is too advanced, so advanced that there is no technical support.

It is better to consider the air-ground joint system, which is also the mainstream combat method in the next 70 years.

"Huh... If you train, you can pull out a few teams, gradually explore, and then gradually promote it after you have experience." Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't want to get fat in one breath. I am also a soldier, but..." Liu Yiming shook his head and smiled.

The emperor can't stand in line at will. He hasn't worn a military uniform for a long time...

"Then I will contact the Navy and Air Staff to explore the joint combat command system." Yang Tao knew that this topic could not be discussed further, and saluted.

"Go, go..." Liu Yiming waved his hand in disdain.

After Yang Tao left, Liu Yiming calmed down and shouted to the outside: "Lin Hai, ask the Prime Minister to come over and let him bring the plan for grassroots construction."

The superstructure has been cleaned up almost, and Liu Yiming is going to start working on the middle and lower levels.
