1631 Fighting for merit on land and sea

Wu Yizhou said confidently: "It's very simple. First, use the fleet to saturate the shelling of the river bank and defeat the enemy! Then cover the infantry to land and establish a beachhead position, and then build a floating bridge! If necessary, I can beach several ships on the shore as fixed turrets!"

Liu Pei said: "Then have you ever considered the other party's artillery?"

Wu Yizhou said: "Of course I have considered it, but I don't think it's a problem! First of all, the range of naval guns is farther than that of army guns, and I don't believe their gunners are stronger than our navy gunners! So it's easy to deal with them!"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Indeed, the easiest way is the easiest way to succeed! But I still want to remind you not to be careless! A situation similar to Sancha River can only happen once!"

Wu Yizhou said solemnly: "I understand! Please rest assured, similar things will not happen again!"

Liu Pei immediately made the decision and said, "Since that's the case, then let's settle it! We need four pontoon bridges. The Navy is responsible for the protection of the pontoon bridge! We must be wary of the Qing army's deployment of wooden rafts upstream to destroy the pontoon bridge."

Wu Yizhou said: "This problem is very simple to solve! We can place a few more iron chains on the river surface to block a large part of the wooden rafts! Cooperate with the warships to intercept all attacks!"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's it, the Navy came out to cooperate with the river crossing plan. We will start raising materials from tomorrow and prepare to make a floating bridge!"

Just as everyone was about to speak, Wu Yizhou suddenly raised his hand and said, "Ah, slower, slower, I have something to say!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Wu Yizhou and saw what he said. Then they heard him slowly say: "Master, everyone, have you forgotten something? Our navy has a team called Marines!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then there was a big uproar! Everyone could hear Wu Yizhou's meaning, that he wanted to use the Marines to grab the beach on the other side of the river! But after all, the army accounts for the majority in this room, so how could he be willing to let the navy people grab the credit?

So the room was full of chaos for a while, and it was full of strife and squeezing Wu Yizhou! In particular, Fan Hualong even said loudly: "My surname is Wu, you

Not authentic! He robs me of credit and gets us brothers!”

With Fan Hualong taking the lead, the other officers were even more desperately clamoring. Wu Yizhou sat there with a smile without saying a word, just staring at Liu Pei's face!

As the army and the navy, they naturally have to have their own positions, but as the commander of all the troops, Liu Pei can only simply consider the outcome of the battle and how to reduce casualties.

To be honest, Wu Yizhou's words really touched him! The Marine Corps is a unit specially used for beach landing operations. The training they receive every day is how to get from the boat to the shore and from the shore to the boat! In terms of the attack speed, it is many times stronger than the army!

And from the actual situation, Liu Pei also needs a unit to occupy the other side of the river. Only in this case can he build a floating bridge. As for whether this unit is an army or a marine, he doesn't care whether it is an army or a marine! But obviously, the Marine Corps has the advantage in this matter!

Everyone quarreled for a while, but when they saw Wu Yizhou was not talking, they naturally lost interest. Everyone knew that in the end, Liu Pei would definitely have the final say. So they just calmed down and waited for Liu Pei to speak.

Liu Pei said slowly at this time: "Old Wu, I'm afraid you didn't encounter a headwind when you came, but were busy making a combat plan before you came late?"

Wu Yizhou laughed and said with a slightly red face: "It's still the Grand Marshal who sees Wanli clearly!"

His words triggered another mockery and laughter from the army officers. But as soon as Liu Pei waved his hand, all his voices disappeared immediately! He said: "Since you have put in your strength, you must show off! Tell me about your plan!"

Wu Yizhou said with a smile: "Actually, my plan is the simplest. Take the boat to a place close to the target, first find the artillery in the place to destroy it! Then use the artillery to cover the enemy's positions and beaches, and then let the soldiers land on a small boat, form a battle formation and advance, and use the cover of the naval gun to seize a foothold, so that it is convenient to build a bridge calmly! This is my plan!"

Hearing Wu Yizhou say this, the army officer even clamored loudly! Even Yang Jingfa said loudly: "What's the difference between your plan?"

The other officers followed the loud voices of "Yes! That's right!" "Yes, yes!" and "Yes!", but Wu Yizhou still said slowly: "The difference is that our Marine Corps soldiers board the boat quickly and get off the boat quickly! And they are not seasick!"

This sentence hit the fatal hole of the army officers present! Most of their soldiers were landslides, and when they boarded the boat, they would basically be dizzy, and it would take half a day to recover their combat effectiveness after getting off the boat.

Although the entire army can draw a group of soldiers with good water quality to form a special commando, they are really inferior to the Marines when it comes to boarding and disembarking. Although these army officers are unwilling to be credited to the hands of the Marines, they are not as shameless as nonsense! So they blushed and stopped talking.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Pei said: "Talk your plan and deduce it for the staff."

An officer behind Wu Yizhou immediately opened the cowhide bag with a happy expression and took out a document and handed it to the staff. The staff immediately opened the map for deduction.

About a quarter of an hour later, a staff officer stood up and said, "Master, judging from the data on the Navy's plan, the Marines' speed of snatching the beach is at least twice as fast as the Army!"

Although most of these officers in the staff are organized by the army, they themselves have no position. However, the officer was very clever and did not say anything to support the Marines, but everyone could understand the unexposed meaning in his words.

So Liu Pei immediately said: "According to the rules, three deductions! If the data are not much different, use the Marine Corps to grab the beach and land."

In the subsequent deduction, the data obtained by the staff was quite stable, so Liu Pei finally decided to use the Marines to seize the foothold on the other side. Although the army officers were unhappy, they still cooperated with the formulation of a new plan to prepare for implementation.

Just as Liu Pei was preparing to cross the river, there were huge changes in Shenyang City!
