Chapter 135 The Army's Determination (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
Although the strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire is far stronger than that of the Eastern Empire, for the Tsarist Russian Empire, the next battle with the Orientals will still be a very crucial battle, or a battle that will determine their fate.
The Tsarist Russian Empire also cannot afford to lose, and must do its best to win this battle.
Otherwise, the Tsarist Russian Empire will pay a heavy price for this failure. Not only the interests in the Far East will be lost. At the same time, it will also become a stepping stone for the Eastern Empire to become one of the world powers. It will even make the Tsarist Russian Empire the laughing stock of the entire Western world.
Under such circumstances, the Tsarist Russian Empire naturally had no other choice, but could only do its best to defeat the Orientals in one fell swoop.
Similarly, for the Tsarist Russian Empire, this is an extremely crucial battle.
Once it fails, the "683" kingdom of the Tsarist Russian Empire will fall into a land of eternal doom, and it will be very difficult to rise again. Moreover, they will no longer be able to get rid of the control of the empire on which the sun never sets, and will be completely reduced to the lackeys of the empire on which the sun never sets.
If possible, the Orientals certainly don't want to be lackeys for the people who never set the sun. Even when he served as a lackey for the Sun Never Sets, he gained a lot of benefits. But the Orientals also want to be able to get rid of the control of the people who never set the sun. However, if there is no other way, he can only be a running dog.
Defeating the Tsarist Russian Empire, becoming one of the world's great powers, and even gaining an equal status with the empire on which the sun never sets has become the only hope for the Orientals.
At the end of January 1804, the top officials of the Army and Navy of the Prime Minister's Office of the Eastern Empire gathered here.
The three chiefs of the army are the Minister of the Army, Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki, the Army Chief of Staff, General Oyama Iwa, and the Army Education Director, General Notsu Michitsuki. The three chiefs of the Navy, namely the Navy Minister Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto, the Chief of Naval Military Command Admiral Ito Yuhiro, and the combined fleet commander Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro, all attended this meeting.
This meeting is a pre-war meeting. They will decide the tactics adopted by the Eastern Empire in the next war, the planned strategic goals, and so on.
"My lords, the war is about to begin. This time the empire is on the brink of attack. We have no chance to turn back. So, this time we can only go to the dark. Either defeat the Russians and win the final victory Then we will be defeated by the Russians and pay a heavy price. I hope that we can win a brilliant victory in this battle." Prime Minister Gui Taro said to the generals with a serious face.
"Hi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" The generals all replied one after another.
"How is the preparation of the Imperial Army going?" General Katsura asked.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Army is ready. The Imperial Army's 17 standing infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades are all ready for battle. We have decided to form the Manchurian Army , His Excellency Dashanyan will serve as the commander of the Manchurian Army, and His Excellency Kodama Gentaro will serve as the chief of staff, and he will be fully responsible for commanding this military operation!" said Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki, Minister of Army.
General Gui Taro nodded, although he was also from the army. However, now that he is the prime minister of the Eastern Empire, he only needs to be in charge of overall affairs. The Army's next specific combat operations will be decided by the top of the Army.
"Big Tiger, how are you going to fight this time?" General Gui Taro asked.
"Your Excellency, the Manchurian Army will be divided into four armies.
Among them, the First Army governs the Guards Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 12th Division, with Kuroki as the commander.
The Second Army has jurisdiction over the 3rd Infantry Group, 4th Division, 6th Division, 8th Division, 1st Cavalry Brigade and 1st Field Artillery Brigade, with General Ao Baogong as the commander.
The Third Army has jurisdiction over the 1st Infantry Division, the 7th Division, the 9th Division, the 11th Division, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade, with General Nogi Noki as the commander.
The Fourth Army has jurisdiction over the 5th Infantry Division, the 10th Division, the 14th Division, the 16th Division, the 19th Division and the 20th Division, with General Notsu Douki as the commander.
The domestic reserve force will form the fifth army, with General Keimei Kawamura as the commander. If the battle on the front line goes wrong, the Fifth Army will land immediately to reinforce the front line!"
General Dashanyan introduced the relevant military deployment to everyone.
The current 17 standing divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades of the Eastern Empire Army are all assigned to the previous four armies... these four armies are also the main force of the Eastern Empire Army force.
In addition, in the mainland of the Eastern Empire, a reserve team will be drawn to form a fifth army so that it can reinforce the front line at any time.
Because of this time and space, the Tsarist Russian Empire is far more powerful than the other time and space.
Therefore, the Eastern Empire Army in this time and space is also stronger. Each infantry division is composed of two infantry brigades, four infantry regiments, and a large number of division-A divisions directly under the troops. The strength of each division reaches about 28,500.
Therefore, the 17 infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades that the Eastern Empire Army is preparing to invest in the war alone add up to more than 500,000 people.
Compared with another time and space, there are many more troops on the battlefield.
In addition, in the mainland of the Eastern Empire, the Eastern Imperial Army is still mobilizing reserve forces to form the Fifth Army. It is initially estimated that the mainland of the Eastern Empire Army will mobilize 17 infantry divisions. This also means that the strength of the Fifth House of the Eastern Empire Army will be very large.
If the Eastern Empire Army has invested such a huge force, it still cannot win this war. Then, the Eastern Empire will further mobilize. 1.1
After all, in this era, the total population of the Eastern Empire is only about 40 million. However, their reserve force is as high as more than two million, which is enough for them to further mobilize and mobilize more troops to join the war.
It can be seen from this that in order to win this battle, the Eastern Empire is going all out and is going to do its best.
General Katsura nodded again and again. In his opinion, the Eastern Empire Army invested such a huge army. It is simply impossible for the Russian Empire to resist their attack.
Although the standing force of the Tsarist Russian Empire is huge. But the mobilization of the Eastern Empire at any cost is enough to give them an advantage in military strength. Of course, the prerequisite is that the Russian Empire does not mobilize. The reserve personnel of the Tsarist Russian Empire is larger than that of the Eastern Empire. .
