Chapter 180 Large-Scale Increase In Troops (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
The Oriental Empire, Dongjing, and the Prime Minister's Office.
A thousand cabinet ministers and high-level army and navy officials all gathered here.
The prime minister, General Gui Taro, had a smile on his face, appearing to be in a good mood. It was as if all the pressure had vanished at this moment.
You know, after learning that the Tsarist Russian Empire has a naval base in the Gaul colony, and that the main fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy will be at its peak in a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy, he is under considerable pressure.
Fortunately, now the problem is finally solved. And he believes that the Oriental Empire Navy will definitely be able to win the war.
It can be said that in the mind of General Gui Taro, the Eastern Empire has already won this time.
"Gentlemen, the navy secretly purchased a large number of warships from the "597" empire on which the sun never sets, making the overall strength of the imperial navy surpass that of the Russians. Even if the Russians tried their best to hide the truth, in the end, they are also not us In the next decisive battle at sea, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to win. Therefore, the biggest shortcoming of the Empire no longer exists. The Empire is one step closer to winning this war." General Gui Taro looked very excited.
A group of high-ranking officers of the navy also had smiles on their faces.
The strength of the Eastern Empire Navy can surpass the Russian Empire, and their chances of winning will be even greater.
This will mean that they will win a brilliant victory, and they will no longer have to worry about dying in battle, or apologizing after defeat.
The high-ranking officers of the army don't look too good-looking.
The cabinet approved the Navy's ship purchase plan and spent a large sum of money to purchase these warships. The strength of the navy has greatly increased. Then, it means that in the next few years, the army's military expenditure may be very limited.
However, the high level of the Eastern Empire Army is also very clear that all this is to win the next decisive battle at sea, there is no way.
"Gentlemen, the navy is sure to win. Then, it's up to the army. We can finally boldly deploy more troops on the land battlefield without worrying that the navy will be defeated. The army has become the turtle in the urn. Therefore, the current unfavorable situation on the land battlefield must also be changed!" General Gui Taro continued.
At present, the performance of the Eastern Empire Army on the battlefield has made the Eastern Empire Army very dissatisfied.
On the Koryo Peninsula, even the Eastern Empire Army has invested in six infantry divisions. The Tsarist Russian Empire only invested in six infantry divisions. However, it still firmly resisted the attack of the Eastern Empire Army. The front line has been limited to the front line of the Han River and the Datong River, and it has been unable to achieve a breakthrough for a long time.
On the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, the two sides are still fighting fiercely on the Shahe defense line. However, with the increasing casualties of the Eastern Empire Army, their attack strength is also constantly declining. Especially after the failure of the fourth army's roundabout operation, there was no way to break through the Russian Shahe line of defense in a short time. Even, because the Eastern Army suffered huge losses in the Shahe line of defense, as well as in the battles of Wafangdian and Dashiqiao, the Tsarist Russian Army has already taken the initiative on the battlefield. If the Tsarist Russian Army continues to attack. Then, the Toyo Army is very likely to be unable to resist. This is undoubtedly a great threat to the Eastern Army.
As for the fortress of Lushun, the third army's onslaught on the fortress continued. Even if the Eastern Army has strengthened the Third Army and sent four additional infantry divisions. However, there is still no core position that can break through the Lushun Fortress. The core positions, including Height 203, are still under the control of the Tsarist Russian Army and Marine Corps.
Moreover, the Tsarist Russian Army and Marine Corps also used powerful firepower to continuously cause great losses to the Eastern Army.
Based on General Nogi Nozomi's style of play, even the total strength of the third army has exceeded 200,000. However, I'm afraid it won't last long.
If the fortress of Lushun cannot be captured for a long time, I am afraid that the third army will soon be completely lost.
It can be said that the situation of the Eastern Empire Army on the battlefield is already very unfavorable.
This makes the Eastern Empire Army have to find a way to change the current situation. And the only thing they can do is to continuously increase the number of troops and further increase the size of the troops put into the battlefield, so as to enhance the strength of the Eastern Army on the battlefield and defeat the Russian army with powerful firepower...
"Your Excellency, the Fifth Army has completed its formation. Although four infantry divisions have been dispatched to reinforce the Third Army, there are still 13 infantry divisions left. Once these troops arrive on the battlefield, they will definitely play a decisive role. We will definitely defeat the Russians!" Lieutenant General Masatake Terauchi, Minister of War, also seemed very confident.
General Gui Taro is also very confident, if all the Fifth Army is put into the battlefield. Then, the strength of the Eastern Empire Army in this battle has been as high as 34 infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field heavy artillery brigades. The total force [is as high as millions of people. This is almost twice the number of troops that the Tsarist Empire put into the battlefield.
With such a large force advantage, the possibility of their victory is naturally much greater.
"Very well, the navy will no longer lose to the Russians. Then, it's up to the army." General Gui Taro said.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are going to deploy three infantry divisions from the Fifth Army to reinforce the First Army, further strengthen the offensive on the Koryo Peninsula, drive the Russians out of the Koryo Peninsula, and push the front to the front line of the Yalu River. The rest The ten infantry divisions from China will land at Yingkou 2.2 and join the attack on Dashiqiao. After defeating the Russians, more troops will be deployed to pinch the Russian Shahe line of defense.
As long as it can defeat the Russian Shahe line of defense. Then, the remaining Lushun Fortress will completely lose the supporting reinforcements, and will be isolated by us, or even captured. The entire Liaodong Peninsula will also completely fall into the hands of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army can gather the main force, advance towards Shenyang, and win the entire province in one fell swoop. "
General Da Shanyan, Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander of the Manchurian Army, revealed the entire battle plan.
General Gui Taro did not have any objections to the army's combat plan, and directly approved the combat plan.
Immediately, the Eastern Empire Army began to frantically increase its troops to the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. .
