Valley Emperor

Ding Chenzhen, this person's resume is not too exciting, at least during the Unification War, although not too bad, but not too amazing, at most is the middle and upper level, but such a level of talent at that time Jiji, in the army with a lot of famous generals, is not very noticeable at all.

Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to lieutenant general in the army until last year. The generals who performed well during the unification war have now either become army bosses, many of them have also become army generals, and the last is a senior army officer. Lieutenant General.

As for Ding Chenzhen, at the end of the Unification War, his rank was lieutenant colonel in the army, and he was not from the infantry, cavalry, or even artillery, but from the transportation department.

Well, yes, unlike most of the senior generals of the army who came from command positions, Ding Chen is really a rare general from the transportation department. His early career experience was as a logistics officer. He did a good job in his position, but compared with the dazzling officers who led the troops to fight, it was much more low-key.

However, after the reunification war, the army's strategy has been greatly adjusted, especially in the ten years of Xuanping, the army has launched a youth strategy. The new generation of officers who had received systematic military education gave way, and then a large number of officers who were not of high standards during the unification war were transferred to the reserve division, or simply retired, and then assigned to local positions.

The reason why Ding Chenzhen was not dropped into the reserve division or was forced to retire at that time was because the logistics organization at that time also lacked professional talents, and was later transferred to the 3rd Infantry Division as the head of the baggage regiment.

However, during his tenure as the head of the baggage regiment, he showed a good commanding ability, and later served in the field army for a long time!

Afterwards, he participated in the first battle of Hetao, and led the transport troops to resist the attacks of the Tatar cavalry for many times, which further reflected his commanding ability.

Later, like most officers, he went through multiple positions, and the speed of promotion was naturally not fast, but at least he followed the steps and became an army colonel. became a brigadier general.

During this period, he no longer served in the field troops in the north, but mainly served in the coastal areas, and served in the Fusang area, and also in the Nanyang area. Among the successive commanders of the Banten garrison, Just to be able to find his name.

He has experience in Fusang and Nanyang and coastal areas, and has participated in small-scale operations in Fusang and Nanyang for many times, and has accumulated rich experience in coastal areas and even amphibious landing operations.

Subsequently, the Army carried out reorganization and reform, and the military-level command organization changed from the previous regional command organization to a pure field force command organization. During the reorganization process, the strategic task set by the Army for the reformed Seventh Army In addition to the domestic defense tasks of Guangdong and Guangxi, they also have to undertake the task of combat readiness for the Southeast Asia region, and attach importance to amphibious landing operations.

In this way, Ding Chenzhen, who has accumulated rich experience in coastal areas and amphibious landing operations, ushered in the peak moment in his life. He was transferred to the post of commander of the reformed 19th Infantry Division.

There are only about twenty main infantry divisions in the army. The commander of each infantry division is a position that countless army generals at the level of major generals have to compete for, and Ding Chenzhen has become one of them.

After serving in the 19th Infantry Division, he devoted himself to the division's amphibious capabilities, and was repeatedly ordered to dispatch troops under his command to fight in various parts of Southeast Asia.

The Tang Empire's wars in the Nanyang region have actually always been there. Although they were not large-scale operations, and the enemies were all indigenous people, they were extremely frequent. Relying on the Luzon garrison and the Wandan garrison alone, then It is really exhausting, so the 19th Infantry Division will often send troops to reinforce the above two divisions.

During this period, Ding Chenzhen also gradually became an expert in amphibious operations. By the way, he also has rich experience in combating tropical jungles. At the same time, he is also an expert in theoretical attack.

Because the Seventh Army also shoulders the task of combat readiness in the Southeast Asian region, and the main enemy in the Southeast Asian region is the Portuguese, and the Portuguese built a super large bastion in Malacca.

Over the years, the Datang Army has been researching how to conquer this Malacca Fortress, and the person responsible for this is actually the 19th Infantry Division or Ding Chenzhen.

Last year, Li Xuan started to prepare for the war in Nanyang, so last year, Ding Chenzhen was promoted and awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the army to serve as the commander of the seventh army.

This is why, before declaring war on the Portuguese, the Army decided that the Seventh Army would join the war and let Ding Chenzhen command it.

But this Ding Chenzhen has a very irascible temper, and the chief of staff who had previously arranged to partner with him was unbearable.

In the Datang Army, regardless of the chief officer and the chief of staff, they are extremely important partners. If this partner is not in harmony, then the impact on the army is still relatively large.

So in the end, there was no other way. The senior army officials specially found Qian Songquan, who is known as a good old man, and at the same time mature and stable, to serve him as the chief of staff.

No way, the preferred commander of the Nanyang Campaign is Ding Chenzhen. This is something that is recognized by the army's senior management and even His Majesty. If you want to replace Ding Chenzhen, you really can't get away from the Tang Army if you want to replace Ding Chenzhen. Find backup candidates.

At the same time, he is good at coastal areas, especially amphibious landing operations, is familiar with the Portuguese, is familiar with Malacca, is good at tackling tough operations, and then has to be good at logistics material deployment (overseas operations, supply is particularly important), and senior generals who have to pass the qualification and prestige at the same time, then It's really hard to find.

But a good-natured chief of staff is easy to find.

Qian Songquan also knew why he was asked to be the chief of staff of the Seventh Army. To put it bluntly, it was to assist Ding Chenzhen, but to put it bluntly, he had to act as an air bag while wiping his ass.

But there is no way. For the sake of his career, he has to endure. As long as he has endured the Nanyang Battle, after he has made a contribution, he should also be promoted and leave. Then Ding Chenzhen will play by himself.

As the commander of the Seventh Army, the supreme commander on the ground in the Malacca siege operation, Ding Chenzhen naturally wouldn't care what his subordinates thought of him, so he scolded and asked his subordinates to arrange the northern defense.

He continues to sit on the ammo box!

bare feet!

Outsiders only saw him sitting on the ammunition box and closed his eyes, but few people knew that at this moment, the Malacca Castle was in his mind, and he was thinking about how to better pry open the turtle in Malacca. husk, and wipe out the grapes inside.

Malacca City is a bastion imitating the Tang Army in the Southeast Asian region, especially Banten City, which is a very typical port bastion, so this Malacca is undoubtedly a port bastion. .

The entire castle is actually not too big, because the bastions of this year, even the large-scale bastions, are not as big as there, but there are a lot of defensive capabilities that can be deployed.

A small city like Wandan City can house an army of several thousand people. The city of Malacca is even bigger. It is not a problem at all to station tens of thousands of troops for defense.

In addition, since it is a castle, it naturally takes into account the possibility of being besieged for a long time, so all kinds of supplies and ammunition inside are indispensable.

If you rely on siege alone, it is not impossible to trap the Portuguese inside alive, but it takes too long!

And it takes too long, it is not a good time for the land and sea armies of Datang.

You must know that the Datang military could not get any supplies in Malacca, even if it was food, there was no way to eat it for the enemy.

Otherwise, the Joint Landing Fleet would not have brought a large number of transport ships and carried many supplies to the sea for combat.

However, these supplies are limited, and although there are still materials to be transported in the country, the sea journey is difficult, which is not good. If several ships are sunk on the road, then tens of thousands of people will have to drink the northwest wind.

In addition, the Portuguese are not without reinforcements. They have a large number of colonies in India and even Africa. They can draw fleets and army reinforcements from these colonies to Portugal.

No matter from that point of view, there is no benefit to the war dragging on for a long time!

It's too late to change!

Therefore, Ding Chen really did not consider adopting a siege method. He planned to break through the city of Malacca in one go!

And this is actually because Ding Chenzhen was selected as the commander of the Seventh Army and was in charge of the ground operations in Malacca. If it was not to break Malacca in a short time, but to use some kind of siege, Ding Chenzhen would not need to come. A lieutenant general can accomplish this task.

The 7th Army, the 2nd Temporary Regiment of the Guards, and the 5th Marine Regiment of the Navy have a combined force of nearly 30,000 people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This landing naturally does not take a few hours, and can even be done in a day or two. to things.

After all, they not only need to get off the ship, they also have to carry a lot of equipment.

The number of artillery pieces of more than five kilograms carried by these ground combat troops alone has reached more than one hundred.

Not to mention that in order to support ground troops, the Navy is also preparing to dismantle more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces from some ships and form a temporary naval heavy artillery team to go ashore to fight.

These heavy artillery pieces are 18 to 24 catties of heavy artillery. Before these heavy artillery pieces were the main guns of cruisers and even battleships.

These heavy artillery are used as siege artillery.

If nothing else, just to remove these heavy artillery from the battleship and transport them to the front line will take several days.
