Red Alert 1895 Chapter 247

"Report! Deputy Commander Chen, the Dutch are already preparing, and they seem to want to take the initiative to attack us!"

Chen Liyan immediately picked up the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw that the Dutch army was already preparing to attack, obviously packing up their weapons and equipment, and then preparing to attack. But this time the Dutch wanted to take the initiative to attack, so they took the initiative to attack, and many people felt strange.

"Deputy Commander Chen, didn't we kill more than 20 generals for the Dutch just now? Why did they launch an attack so quickly? How could the internal morale recover so quickly, and they may not be our opponents if they attack so directly! "A staff officer asked.

And Chen Liyan immediately said: "Actually, the matter is very simple, that is, they can't wait any longer. They don't know that it is impossible for them to defeat us in one go with such a direct attack. They must be thinking that they can let us suffer a little bit. In this way, they may be able to restore their morale. After all, as an army that has just been demoralized, no matter how much morale is boosted, no matter how it can be promoted, the best way to restore morale is to win a battle, even if Just a small victory is enough to gradually restore the confidence of the soldiers. If there is no victory, then no matter how you try to boost morale, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”

In war, the ultimate way to improve the morale of soldiers is to win a battle. If you keep losing battles and people can't see hope, then I am afraid that no matter how bragging and morale the political workers can boost, they will not be able to raise the morale of the soldiers. Only high morale can restore the confidence of soldiers, otherwise no matter how much you comfort them, you will not be able to restore them. Even if you barely restore morale through political workers, if you lose the battle again immediately, it will not be able to restore morale. Therefore, the Dutch army must fight a victory. Only in this way can the morale of the Taiwan army be restored. So at this time, the Dutch are actually very anxious, hoping to win a victory to restore their morale.

And in the Dutch barracks, Adenauer, who had been authorized by the commander-in-chief Bruce, was speaking to those who were preparing to fight.

"Mr. Emmons. Next, we will depend on you. If we can win some victories in this battle, it should be able to restore the morale of our Dutch army. Therefore, in this battle, you must only succeed and not fail. Also, you are just promoted. If you can't make some achievements, then I can't blame them. At that time, those noble bureaucrats will definitely take the opportunity to suppress you. In order to promote you, I have paid a huge amount Don't embarrass me with your hard work!" Adenauer said.

And this Commander Emmons immediately said: "I would like to follow your instructions, Admiral Adenauer. This time, I was finally able to be directly promoted from regimental commander to division commander. Thanks to Admiral Adenauer for your attention, if not If you value and appreciate me, then I'm afraid I won't be able to get promoted. This time I must win a battle and tell those nobles and bureaucrats that we are also able to win battles!”

Now Adenauer is actually being forced to go to Liangshan, because Adenauer has obtained the full authority of Bruce to command the war, and the first thing he did when he took office was to rectify the army. Adenauer's first thing was to reorganize the army. Then those vacant positions were assigned to those officers who were familiar with combat and climbed up step by step from the bottom. If that's the case, that's fine, but Adenauer also took the initiative to strictly enforce military discipline. Anyone who slightly violates military discipline will be suspended from duty. Now those aristocratic officers are really sad. Those aristocratic officers have brought their usual aristocratic life and various aristocratic styles into the army. How could those nobles live the same life as soldiers. Therefore, the nobles also have preferential treatment in the army. Although many military disciplines have been established, they cannot be controlled by those officers of noble origin.

And Adenauer was authorized to command, first of all, to strictly enforce military discipline. Anyone who fails to abide by military discipline will also be suspended from duty. Then let a humble officer act as an agent, so as to achieve the situation of rectifying the army. As for Adenauer's behavior. It also seriously affected the interests of those noble officers, and they all went to that Bruce to complain. But Bruce also knew that he couldn't engage in internal fighting with Adenauer at this time. Anyway, I have the most credit for winning, and I will be blamed for losing to Adenauer.

However, although Bruce calculated Adenauer, he still hoped to win in his heart. This war is not only related to national interests, but also related to the honor and disgrace of one's own family. As for scheming Adenauer, he was just holding back, and he still hopes to win this war, so that he can gain military exploits and make the family more prosperous.

So Bruce knew that Adenauer's behavior was against the interests of noble officers, but he turned a blind eye. Bruce just reminded Adenauer to let Adenauer win as soon as possible, and then he could stop those The mouth of a noble officer.

Therefore, Adenauer was forced to go to Liangshan. If he could not get the results as soon as possible, then he would not be able to convince those noble officers. Those aristocratic officers are nothing to be trifled with. They all have a very strong political status in the country. If they can't convince them with actual combat results, then I'm afraid they will definitely stir up trouble in the army and hold themselves back. This feeling is very helpless. After all, not only do you have to face the enemies on the front line, but you also have to face the turbulent struggle within yourself. This is what makes Adenauer the most helpless.

Therefore, a victory is not only an opportunity to establish one's own prestige, but also an opportunity to silence those noble officers. So now Adenauer is forced to send troops to fight, hoping to defeat the Taiwanese army and achieve a small victory before he can shut up those noble officers.

"Your Excellency, Admiral, I hope that our fifth division will get some special support this time, otherwise I really don't have the confidence to defeat those Taiwanese." Emmons said.

"What do you want?" Adenauer asked.

"Artillery!" Emmons replied.

Half an hour later, the fifth division of the Dutch army immediately began to rush out of the barracks, and then they formed a formation, and then prepared to attack the Taiwan army.

"Report, some soldiers of the Dutch army have set out, about one division, and they are attacking our left flank."

Chen Liyan immediately estimated the map, then began to look at the map and said: "Our left wing is the troops of our second division Tan Xiao, and they are probably going to concentrate on attacking one point."

"Report, according to the analysis of the information we have obtained, this division of the Dutch army is probably going to attack the junction of our second division and the 202nd and 203rd regiments. This is where our firepower is relatively weak. But I think they want to take the opportunity to be able to Obtaining a moderate victory does not mean attacking us with all their strength. If they want to attack us with all their strength, it is impossible for them to defeat us, and they will be in great danger. So their battle this time is just an outpost , It is impossible to defeat us." Song Yang, acting director of the Nanyang Military Region's Operations Division, said.

Song Yang has now been transferred from the former deputy chief of staff of the Marine Division to the acting chief of the Nanyang Military Region's Operations Division, and the original combat chief has been promoted to become the Nanyang Military Region's deputy chief of staff. Because the former deputy chief of staff, You Zihui, was in charge of the Lanfang military region and the garrison, a new deputy chief of staff was appointed to take over You Zihui's original responsibilities, so the director of operations was promoted. As for the position of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Songyang Marine Corps, he was sent to serve as the Chief of Operations of the Nanyang Military Region. In terms of rank, he has not been upgraded, but his responsibilities are more important, and he is responsible for the combat planning of the entire Nanyang Military Region.

This is Wang Guorui's personnel appointment proposal after receiving a report from Li Yuanhong, the commander of the Marine Division. And after the interview by Chen Liyan~www.mtlnovel.com~ Chen Liyan also agreed to this appointment plan. Now everyone knows that Song Yang has been directly promoted from a deputy battalion-level staff officer to a regiment-level officer in just two or three years. Moreover, he was also the Chief of Operations of the first military region, so his future would definitely be better. What's more, he is only 21 years old, this is the most important place, young and high-level, this is definitely a promising future. You must know that Hu Wei and his senior executives are all about ten years older than him, and they may become their successors in the future.

"Okay, then we'll just wait for them to come over, and we'll have to see how powerful these Dutchmen are! Only one division was sent here, so isn't this one looking for death? Our 202 and 203 regiments, completely It's time to deal with them. Tell Tan Xiao that if he can't defeat those low-level Dutchmen, he will embarrass our second division. Then I, the general of the second division, will not let him go." Chen Liyan Said.

Chen Liyan was a general from the Second Division, so naturally he was not willing to let the Second Division lose the battle. If the Second Division fails, there is no need to be polite to Tan Xiao, his successor. Next, let him take care of the Dutch, so that he can teach the Dutch a lesson. And this time is also the first battle of Tan Xiao's new official, and everyone will doubt whether he, a general who was born as an engineer brigade commander, can fight well, so this is the time to test his three fires as a new official. Only after fighting this battle well can the soldiers of the second division be convinced of him, the new division commander transferred from the engineering brigade. (to be continued)
