Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 577
A group of Han and Meng military officers lined up in a neat line, not even holding an umbrella, waiting for the arrival of the special plane at the temporary airport in the middle of the rain.

It was His Majesty the Guangfu Emperor himself who braved the wind and rain. Before the start of the decisive battle in India, Bai Mingxiu left the headquarters of the 12th Army, took a special plane, and under the escort of a group of fighter jets, he came to the front of the Army of the Back Road. headquarters.

The secretary held an umbrella for the emperor, and the emperor, wearing a military uniform without epaulettes, stepped off the special plane modified from Yun-3.Just from the appearance, this special plane is no different from an ordinary civil aviation plane, and even has the logo of Daming Civil Aviation Company.The Yun-3 is originally a military aircraft that was deeply remodeled from a well-selling civil aviation aircraft, so it is difficult to distinguish.

"Thank you for waiting," Bai Mingxiu said to the Han and Meng officers who came to pick up the plane.

"Whatever your majesty says, it is the duty of the courtiers."

"Get in the car and we'll talk to you at the headquarters."

Zhao Lingji, Commander-in-Chief of the Bangladesh Army, said, "Don't you need to take a break first, Your Majesty?"

"I don't have that time. The Mughal army has already marched in the rain. If we can prepare for an extra hour, we will have a better chance of winning."

A series of military off-road vehicles cleared the way. The most popular military vehicle in Ming Dynasty was this one. After sending the emperor and the generals to the headquarters, Bai Mingxiu came directly to the sand table.

"Forty-eight hours at the latest, the left forward or right forward troops of Aurangzeb's army will have an encounter with my troops. We generally implement a defensive position. Compared with the number of cavalry in the Mughal army Many, but we have also made special preparations for this and installed a large number of anti-cavalry devices."

After listening to the explanation, Bai Mingxiu nodded slightly and said, "It can be seen from the recent performance of the Mughal army. They have received training from Europe and are quite familiar with positional warfare. Although we have built a defense line, We have dug all kinds of trenches, but we are not here to fight a battle of solidarity, we still have to take the initiative to seek opportunities for victory, and continue to cause serious damage to the Mughal army."

Zhao Lingji and other generals were a little stunned. Originally, their headquarters planned and prepared this battle according to the arrangement of this war. For this reason, they mobilized as many as 23 brigades with a total strength of 10 troops. Including the reinforcement of the three brigades that came temporarily from Burma.Even so, the Mughal army was still stronger than them, so Zhao Lingji was prepared to rely on the better weapons and equipment of the Ming army, coupled with a systematic defense structure, to directly block the Mughal army.

But Bai Mingxiu is by no means this type of commander. He has always opposed fighting inactively, but emphasizes killing and wounding the enemy in motion.After learning about the preparations of the Houlu Army, Bai Mingxiu rushed over immediately, ready to personally command the battle.

"We have a strong reconnaissance advantage. Our reconnaissance planes are watching the enemy's movements almost 24 hours a day. Therefore, we are aware of the enemy's every move, and their weaknesses and gaps are also in our eyes. , which gave us a very good chance to play interspersed."

The generals looked at each other, and they all understood in their hearts: "It really is this way."

It can be said that Bai Mingxiu, as the commander of the military division, has deep penetration as a major signboard. In fact, because the firepower of the Ming army is quite good, often several times or even dozens of times that of the enemy, the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination are the most practiced by the Ming army.But Bai Mingxiu had a soft spot for the tactics of infantry maneuvering and deep penetration.He obviously has superior firepower, but he uses it to contain. When the opponent's line of defense is pulled, immediately an infantry either secretly or forcibly penetrates into the enemy's depth, divides the enemy's formation, disrupts the deployment, and when the time comes If the artillery is not satisfied and keeps bombing and fighting again, the army will basically disperse.

When the officers of the Bengal Army believed that they could directly fight the Mughal Army so that the Mughal Army could not get close by relying on their solid position and large number of powerful artillery, Bai Mingxiu wanted to take the initiative and directly mobilized the Ming Army to fight Penetrate the depths of the enemy and reap the greatest victories.

No one would ridicule that Bai Mingxiu was crazy. In fact, the emperor had already made several such successful cases, and was even sent to the Army University as a typical case analysis study.

Bai Mingxiu pointed to a river on the sand table, "The goal of the first stage, I need a brigade to intersect here, so that the frontal troops must be flexible, and immediately annihilate the divided Mughal army with their backhands after successful penetration. Then the next stage continues to protrude forward and attack the waist of the Mughal army, so that we can form a front-to-back response, a left-right response, and continue to devour the Mughal army."

Everyone knows how high the requirements are for the Fan army to complete this series of operations.These military officers, whether they are Han or Bengali, have some worries. Losing face is a minor matter, and if they miss the emperor's important event, then they will be ruined.

Zhao Lingji hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task."

With a serious expression on his face, Bai Mingxiu said to Zhao Lingji: "I will leave my words here, this interspersed mission is not easy to fight at all, it is very difficult! Therefore, I want you to have the most tenacious fighting will and the most independent fighting ability in your hands." No matter if you are surrounded by tens of thousands of 10,000+ enemies, you can still fight in with my orders and disrupt all the deployment of the Mughals. This is not normal If the troops can do it, this battle was fought well, and after the war, I will award the troops with honors and add numbers to them myself.”

All the officers' eyes lit up when they heard this.The attraction of His Majesty personally presenting the flag is huge. Few troops in the Ming army have their own independent flags, which are widely recognized honors.This kind of honor means that those who come out of this army are more likely to be promoted and enjoy better resources.

"Your Majesty, leave this task to the 9th Brigade of the Bengal Army."

"No, Your Majesty, our first brigade is the strongest!"

Everyone rushed into a ball, Bai Mingxiu saw that the atmosphere was mobilized, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "His intentions are commendable, but this battle is ugly, and he will be punished as well. You should think about it carefully."

No one flinched. It can be seen that even though they are Fanjun, they are actually proud Ming soldiers at the root, whether they are Han Chinese or Bangladeshi officers, they are all the same.

"Well, let the Mughal Empire take a good look at how powerful the Ming and Bengal army is!"
