The person in charge of the news nodded at this time to signal him to continue.
"Can we also send war correspondents in? Not only can we take pictures, we can also shoot war videos and broadcast them to the outside world. Not only that, but we can also broadcast the latest wars on the front lines. Using this method of news, we can describe the most authentic news to our audience," the reporter said.
"Very good, very good, a very good suggestion, and this electron will bring us unimaginable profits, very good, a very, very, very good idea, very good," said the person in charge of the news
"It's good, but we need to think about a problem" A technical consultant raised his doubts
"What?" asked the news chief
"For the signal problem, you should know that there are only military cables on the battlefield without our signal receiver repeaters. If we want to do it, we have to build a lot of equipment from Xianyang to the theater. What should we do with these equipment?" The technical consultant put forward his own proposal. view
"En" the head of the news nodded
"I don't think this is a problem. What is difficult is that we have to catch this news event as soon as possible. I will contact the above now. You must quickly organize equipment and manpower. We need to hurry up, otherwise the news event will be over."
In this way, the reporters in Qin State began to pay close attention to this incident. They all believed that this incident would bring great changes to the press because they all set their sights on the emerging news media technology wireless broadcasting. They hoped that through this new The technology brings them huge business profits which is a huge motivation for them to do so
And just when the news circles were acting restlessly, Qin Fang felt a lot of pressure, because the intervention of the news media would cause a lot of public opinion pressure, and this kind of thing had been exposed, and it was about to enter a situation where the military was operating in the open. It is difficult to release some information to appease the public.
769 forward or stop
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us," Yang Duanhe said to Wang Jian
"That's right, the Qi army is launching a large-scale attack again. How long can our soldiers hold on? Can we hold on until the reinforcements arrive?" Wang Jian said to himself.
"This is a bit difficult. The only mobile force we can mobilize at present is the sky army, which has the superiority from the air. The ground troops can't hold any hope at all. The main force of the Zhao army is stagnant at the end of the Eastern Railway, and our people can't be mobilized to the country of Yan." Yang Duanhe said
"En Zhao Jun can't move faster, don't they have cavalry? If we can launch an attack from the side, our pressure will be reduced a lot," Wang Jian said.
"The Zhao army is very cunning. They only sent a small amount of cavalry. Most of them are heavy infantry units. These heavy infantry units need to be equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns. They want to use this opportunity to equip their own army," Yang Duanhe said.
"I know," Wang Jian said.
"Then how is the situation of our heavenly army?" Wang Jian asked.
Yang Duanhe just shook his head when he heard this, expressing that he was not very optimistic
"This is Major Wang Geng Tianjun," a well-dressed fat man standing beside a car introduced
"This is our best reporter," the fat man introduced
The major is not interested in the reporter's name because the reporter is only in the press and he is in the military. He himself has no interest in the news media.
"Listen, Mr. Major is going to take you on their planes. These planes will be the first to fly over the war zone. I need you to establish first-hand information. Understand? The Wenyang Newspaper has dispatched a group of reporters yesterday, and I need you to publish before them. Remember to be fast," said the fat man
"Yes" said the reporter
"Okay, it's time for us to go. This is urgently urged by the military order," the major said coldly.
This is Qin's emergency dispatch to support the theater as early as possible. The high-level Qin army believes that the military power that can be deployed at present is still air power because air power has strong mobility, but the effect of air power on ground strikes has always been reserved by the high-level Qin army.
In fact, when the Qi army surrounded the Qin army on a large scale, the Qin army also dispatched planes at several airports near the state of Yan to interfere with the military operations of the Qi army.
The planes of the Qin army continued to launch interference offensives against the Qi army advancing in the direction of Yandu, strafing the supplies of the Qi army's marching brigade or using air strikes, but these effects were not very obvious. After all, the load capacity of the fighter jets at this time was not very large.
But with the passage of time, Qin was the first to arrive at another type of aircraft, which played a major role in arming commercial airships. This airship is a commercial airship temporarily requisitioned by the Qin government to relieve the military pressure on the front line. These airships are mainly used for passenger and cargo transportation. The Qin government included it within the scope of military use by way of enlistment
The Qin government installed dual-mounted machine guns on these commercial airships and temporarily changed the cargo compartment to a bombing compartment, removed some unnecessary passenger seats and installed fixing devices to store more ammunition and leave a larger space. space and payload for the machine gun
This modified air armed airship does not perform air-to-air missions. The Qi Air Force did not appear with the appearance of the Qi Army's vanguard. Their meteorological observations, transition experience, and long-distance flight are not enough to support them to carry out such a large-scale airship transition. In desperation, they can only rely on ground transportation to make the transition, but ground transportation requires a lot of ox cart resources. However, a large number of ox carts in Qi State are providing the front line with logistics supplies and supplies. There are no extra vehicles to provide, so the Qi State Air Force has not entered the combat state for the time being.
The airships of the Qi Air Force have not entered the state, but the airships of the Qin State Army have entered the combat state, especially the armed airships are particularly powerful against the ground.
The usual tactic is this: Qin State armed airships will ambush in advance at a relatively low commanding height on the road, and they will release some communication personnel in advance to release signals.
This signal means that they have discovered a large number of enemy infantry, and at this time the armed airship will scramble into the air and then use their densely arranged dual-mounted machine guns to crazily straf the ground.
This tactic achieves suddenness in a short period of time and at the same time occupies the commanding heights. In addition, the airship can naturally form a certain height and has a certain maneuverability. This is a disaster for infantry.
"Our armed airship has a very obvious killing effect on infantry and has a great advantage. Our airship is equipped with dual-mounted machine guns and crazily strafed those neatly lined up troops. It can be said that none of our bullets failed to hit each other. Our airship can not only shoot continuously from a high place, but also move forward slowly. The machine guns keep shooting at the soldiers who are trying to avoid the machine guns.
"The opponent has no power to fight back against our airship. Our airship can move back and forth. The opponent's infantry can rarely launch a counterattack in time. Even with artillery, it is difficult to hit the moving target. It is worth mentioning the survivability of the airship. It needs to be pointed out that our airship can maintain a strong lift even after being shot and let our pilots go home."
This is a telegram sent by the front-line commander to the Qin army. This telegram specifically pointed out that the armed airship has a huge anti-ground effect because the machine gun has a higher position and higher mobility. It is a double installation, so the killing effect is doubled, but this report did not attract the attention of the Qin army because they focused on how to use ground power to end the battle on the battlefield.
But when the Qin army tried its best to support the front line, two major factions formed within the Qi army.
The reason why the Qi army formed two major factions is because the Qi army quickly advanced after breaking the overall defense line of the Yan army, especially the victory of the Qi army. The opposite of occupying Yandu was formed, but at that time, this kind of thinking was still controlled by the Qi army itself with a trace of reason.
Because some high-ranking officers of the Qi army thought that the victory came too suddenly and too fast, which made them feel a little bit of fear and suspicion, but what happened afterwards conformed to their thoughts.
Sure enough, the Yan army sent a main force to join the battle. At this time, the Qi army was waiting in full battle. They thought that the Yan army must have been commanded by the Qin army, and took the initiative to retreat and lengthen the Qi army's logistics supply line to inflict heavy damage on it.
But the later results really exceeded Qi Jun's imagination.
What they were facing was a hastily put together improvised army that didn't even have combat effectiveness. Among the captured prisoners were a large number of fools, blind, deaf, dumb, and all kinds of disabled women. Some normal people had never even touched a gun. The army let Qi Jun find out the opponent's cards at once
The Yan army no longer has any reserve force, and this force has already exhausted all the resources of the Yan State. There is nothing in front of the Yan State that can resist the advance of the Qi army. Under this kind of thinking, some senior generals of the Qi army think that at this time, Qi The army should advance quickly and strive to end the war within three months and occupy the country of Yan to completely solve the problem of the country of Yan
It was in such an atmosphere that the Qi army emphasized the rapid advance and occupation of Yan. The various units of the Qi army accelerated their pace of advancement, but there were still different voices within the Qi army. These different voices came from the Qi army represented by Tian Heng. Civilian team
In contrast to the optimism of some of the senior officers of the Qi Army, the civilian team of the Qi Army represented by Tian Heng expressed a kind of worry. This worry has a great foundation. The Qi Army's logistics supplies are already in a state of overload.
When the Qi army started to counterattack, it did not expect to attack such a long distance at once. It can be said that from the strategic situation, the Qi army did not make such preparations at all, but with the development of the war, the battle situation has exceeded the expected range of the Qi army. The most important thing is the huge pressure on logistics supplies. In order to provide supplies for the fast-advancing frontline troops, the Qi State has recruited a large number of ox carts to enter the frontline to improve security, but the front line is getting longer and longer with the rapid advancement of the Qi army. Materials are becoming more and more difficult
This is just one aspect. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Qi army have been fighting continuously for more than two months. Many soldiers have been extremely tired. As a result, many non-combatants were downsizing, and the soldiers of the Qi army were advancing every day, and the road conditions were very deteriorating, especially after the precipitation, which made it even more difficult.
The logistics are not smooth, the soldiers are exhausted, and the morale is gradually low. Although they have been winning battles, morale is not something that can be solved by winning battles. A certain amount of material support is needed, not only these.
The civil service team represented by Tian Heng has another way of thinking, that is, in the external environment, the major powers are seeking balance. Now that Qi is annexing a country, it is to break this balance. If the balance is broken, don’t other countries object? Especially the country of Qin is not easy to mess with
770 Complicated Diplomatic Situation
Apart from his own factors, the reason why Tian Heng considers stopping the advance is due to several complicated diplomatic situations.
The reason why the Warring States was able to form the Warring States is because a balanced relationship can be formed among the countries temporarily. This balanced relationship is not just a simple balance of strength. It involves various factors such as politics, military and diplomacy. The existence of factors allowed the situation of the Warring States period to exist in a balanced posture for the time being, but now this balanced posture needs to continue to be balanced
Tian Heng's idea is correct. The current situation in the region needs to continue to maintain this balance, and Qi's unilateral actions have broken this balance, especially the sense of crisis brought about by the imbalance in neighboring relations.
If Qi State unilaterally occupies Yan State and is established, then from the point of view of Qi State, the benefits brought to Qi State will also be very huge. First of all, it is not just a sudden expansion of the territory. As far as Yan State is concerned, the northern gold mine of Yan State and Liaodong The huge economic benefits brought by the Western Liaoning Economic Belt will also make Qi a powerful country.
The northern gold mines of Yan State provided enough gold, which could pay all the war expenses and expenses of Qi State in the war against Yan State. Not only that, Qi State could also get what Qi State wanted most, the Liaodong and Liaoxi Economic Belt, the economic belt. A large number of coal mines and iron smelting plants can greatly increase the amount of iron smelting in Qi State. At the same time, Qi State will get rich iron smelting technology, especially the technology of using coal mines to smelt iron.
Although steel is an important standard resource in this period, iron resources are still an indispensable and important resource, so iron is a very important strategic resource for Qi. At the same time, Qi can obtain the technology he wants most from iron smelting. These technologies can Support new development opportunities for Qi
In addition to these, there are other things, such as some light factories producing cans, paper mills, and simple newspaper printing plants, etc. These things are of great help to the development of Qi State. Qi State wants to introduce these technologies, but Qin State imposes a strict technology blockade. They want to import the technology from other countries but the surrounding countries are resisting and wary due to geo-relationships
Among them, the attitude of Zhao State is the most positive. Because Zhao State is close to Yan State, it is more sensitive to everything that happens in neighboring countries. In particular, Qin State’s economic aid to Yan State has made Yan State rise rapidly. This rise is manifested in the economic aspect of Yan State. The country’s economic development is faster than Zhao’s, because Yan was the first to establish an arms trade with Qin, and Qin was in the east to contain Zhao. Zhao provided a lot of assistance to Yan. The emergence of the concession brought Qin State's advanced production technology management and new production models. The emergence of these novelties greatly improved the economy of Yan State.
