Chapter 1131, open up a new battlefield
He Fuguang looked at the expressions of the people, so he guessed the subtext in their hearts. He emphasized and said, "Don't think these problems are not problems. First, because the battlefield area is limited, there are dense jungles on the left and right of Dewudun. As the attacking side, our tactics are severely restricted, and we can only simply take tough battles; second, have you not discovered that if we really have absolute advantages, why is it still difficult to move forward for more than half a year?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that facts are better than words. Since there is no advantage on the battlefield, it means that the previous ideas are all wrong.
He Fuguang paused for a moment, and then said, "Since we are in a difficult situation, we should try our best to make changes. The easiest way I give you is to change the battlefield. Don't think that transferring the battlefield is a very troublesome thing for us. In contrast, the enemy currently has slightly more troops than us. When we move the direction, they must also chase after us. At that time, the initiative is in our hands, and the enemy will passively lead us to the nose."
"I see……"
"But what if the enemy attacks Khmer or Laos directly while we are moving?"
"Yes, if you surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, the British would understand this trick."
"It depends on how we transfer. You will not be so stupid that all the troops of 100,000 people are transferred at once, right? Only fools or madmen will act like this. The reason why I ask the paratroopers for support is that I hope to use the paratroopers' mobility to open up a new battlefield for us first and attract the attention of the enemy. Once the enemy has a psychological burden, their strategic rhythm will easily reveal flaws." He Fuguang said slowly.
Only when I heard this, the generals present understood what was going on.
The entire transfer will be a gradual cycle, but even if a new battlefield is opened, it may not necessarily be abandoned.
Since the battlefield environment of Dewudun is too small, the enemy will give full play to the advantage of concentrated combat, then simply disperse the battlefield, forcefully split the enemy's military power, and then break it one by one.
In other words, Dewudun will continue to fight, but the main force will start to move to a new battlefield in batches. In this way, there is no need to worry that the enemy will turn defense into offense, and at the same time, it can also find a new breakthrough in the battle situation.
In the following meeting, He Fuguang specifically explained his plan. After the paratroopers arrived at the South Asian theater, he would order the paratroopers to gather in Vientiane, then airborne to Banwang Sapon, a larger city in northern Siam, and occupy it as a base to attract the main Siam troops in Dewudun to divide their troops and provide assistance.
Once the main Siam troops begin to divide their troops, Dewudun will launch a tentative attack and try to break through the enemy's defense line. Of course, this is just for testing, that is, the way of fighting to the point. If you can break through, then launch the general attack. If you cannot break through, it doesn't matter. Then just start the second stage of strategic transfer.
With this tentative attack, Dewudun will definitely not dare to take it lightly, thinking that the main Chinese troops will continue to try to break through Dewudun. It is just right to use the cover of this attack to quietly start transferring the troops and advance towards Banwangshapeng. The terrain around Banwangshapeng is wide, and there are roads connected to several towns behind. As long as you can occupy this place, you can quickly open a strategic vertical line.
However, before this, He Fuguang emphasized that the French Legion currently reinforced D'Udun, so the number of enemy troops exceeded that of our army. Before the paratroopers arrived, they must not be careless. In the next half month, strategic defense and artillery battles should be adopted, with soldiers' cultivation as the main task. At the same time, the logistics forces began to prepare for the transfer.
The premise of all this is military confidentiality, and the enemy must not be able to understand China's intentions in advance!
From the end of October to the beginning of November, the atmosphere in Dewudun's front was reduced by several levels. The Chinese team no longer took the initiative to attack, while the Siam army and the French army remained cautious. If it were in the past, Marshal France would definitely have boldly launched a counterattack surprise attack because the number of troops exceeded that of China. However, after the failure of the Korean War, he had to keep a low-key attitude and just stick to the front in accordance with the rules.
All of this just provides enough time and ideal space for the next combat plan of the Chinese team.
The First Air Cavalry Brigade, the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, which had just completed training, arrived in Kunming on November 3rd and then arrived in Vientiane, Laos for five days to gather. The First Brigade and the Second Brigade made great achievements in the Sino-Japanese War and were also injured. They had been resting and filling in the injured and vacancies for the previous two months.
After experiencing this fierce and lasting baptism of war, this young force that was once excited seemed to have matured a lot. They no longer considered how to perform combat missions with enthusiasm, but instead calculated how to survive in each combat mission. In short, the shadow of the Sino-Japanese War has not been completely erased, and many soldiers still felt tired.
However, the newly established Third Brigade, all the whole brigade was full of freshmen, and they always had an excited longing for the decisive battle between China and Japan, which was famous all over the country and caused a sensation around the world. Therefore, after coming to Vientiane, the Third Brigade was very active in everything.
Before the assistance of the logistics forces of the Southern Second Army, the air crew had already established a temporary airport in Vientiane before the paratroopers arrived. Most of the airships of the Air Force Marines arrived in the south after long distances. At the same time, the two Southern Army commands also dispatched a group of air boats to gather in Vientiane to assist these air cavalry in their operations.
Although the South Asian Theater Command issued a military confidentiality order before, Vientiane's large-scale operation is still difficult to be airtight. After all, the entire Laos has just been reduced to an occupied area, and it is hard for everyone in the local area to predict it. It is really difficult to keep such a large project to build an airport confidential.
However, after the air cavalry arrived in Vientiane, the so-called military confidentiality had no other meaning.
It is impossible for the British to have no spies in China, and the air cavalry is an emerging group of troops, so they are naturally easy to attract attention. Such a military mobilization of troops can easily find out the relevant information.
Furthermore, the South Asian Theater Command was eager to make the enemy feel nervous at this time, which not only dispersed the pressure on the Dewudun battlefield, but also provided cover for the transfer of troops.
After receiving this series of information, the French Legion immediately realized that something was wrong. However, through current observations, the Legion General Staff could not make clear speculations for a while. Vientiane was very close to the northern part of Siam, and the maneuverability of the Chinese air cavalry could almost cover the entire Siam, so there was no way to know the attack location of this force.
The General Staff even worried that perhaps the Chinese were deliberately gathering in Vientiane and making a big move, with the purpose of attracting some troops from Dewudun to go north to deal with it. Once Dewudun divided his troops, the air cavalry in Vientiane could take airships and go south to Dewudun directly, drop them behind Dewudun, cooperate with the frontal troops to launch a strong attack, and take Dewudun in one fell swoop.
It is precisely under this "uncertainty" factor that the French Legion was unable to make a decision for the moment and could only hold on to the ground.
However, this news has been sent to Bangkok as soon as possible, reminding Siam to arrange defense arrangements in the north as soon as possible.
