Chapter 176: The Second Battle Ends
"The right army is defeated? How did the Right Army lose so quickly? Song Yingchang kept chattering, he couldn't understand that the war had been fought for such a short time, and the Right Route Army, which had as many as 30,000 troops, had been defeated so quickly.
Song Yingchang thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, and after making sure that the Right Route Army was really defeated, Song Yingchang's head was a little dizzy.
Song Yingchang's stunned state did not last long, he quickly reacted, the right army was defeated by the enemy so quickly, it is very likely that the enemy put the elite troops on the west side, so that the front battlefield and the east side of the battlefield, the enemy's elite troops will not be many, as long as the middle route army and the left route army quickly defeat the enemy, then the victory of this battle still belongs to the Ming army.
But Song Yingchang's idea didn't last long in his mind, and the changes in the front of the frontal battlefield suddenly made Song Yingchang's face change greatly, and the frontal battlefield where the Ming army was supposed to have an advantage quickly, suddenly the Ming army's offensive fell, and the Ming army's casualties increased greatly.
"Damn, it's the enemy's firecrackers, no wonder I didn't touch the enemy's firecrackers just now, it must be the enemy who put the firecrackers on the battlefield on the west side, no wonder the right-hand army was defeated so quickly, without a chariot, it was difficult for the right-hand army to rush in front of the enemy."
The rout of the right route army, the number of casualties of the middle route army increased rapidly, but it was difficult to make a breakthrough on the frontal battlefield, Song Yingchang had the idea of withdrawing the army in his heart, but Song Yingchang temporarily suppressed the idea of withdrawing the army, and he still wanted to wait to see if the left route army could complete the breakthrough.
The three battlefields on the front, east, and west sides, and the three infantry battalions of the firearms unit on the west side, the KPA easily routed the enemy, but before that, even if the KPA had grenadier units on the frontal battlefield and the east side of the battlefield, under the continuous onslaught of the enemy, the grenadier units were exhausted, and both battlefields were plunged into bloody battles.
In a short period of time, the ratio of casualties between the KPA and the Ming army was almost 1 to 1 because of the first troops, but as the first troops suffered heavy casualties, the grenadier units and cold weapon units were successively engaged in close combat, and the number of casualties of the KPA increased rapidly.
With the support of firearms units on the frontal battlefield, the situation on the frontal battlefield has been greatly alleviated, but there is no support on the eastern battlefield, and the KPA can only rely on human lives to fill it.
Fortunately, after the last battle, the recruits are now exposed to such a tragic battlefield scene for the second time, and they will not be easily intimidated, and on the battlefield on the east side, the People's Army can still block the left army of the Ming army.
"Kill!"
When a KPA soldier fell, the fighters in the rear hurriedly filled their positions, wielding knives or holding spears to kill the enemy on the opposite side, and the death of their comrades in battle would not make them afraid, and their hearts were full of thoughts of avenging their comrades.
To avenge their comrades-in-arms, for the sake of the People's Army, and in order for their families to continue to live a good life, the People's Army used all its strength to kill the enemy, and would rather die than take a step back!
Wang Shengrong, who paid attention to the situation on the battlefield on the east side, his eyes were already bloodshot, today's battle can be called the most tragic battle since the People's Army raised its flag, no matter how tragic it is, how many people have died, the People's Army must win!
Time passed, the number of casualties of the Middle Route Army remained high, and the Left Route Army was unable to break through, seeing that the Ming Army suffered so many casualties, the idea of withdrawal intensified in Song Yingchang's mind.
As the People's Army, which had pursued the Ming Army's Right Route Army for a distance, returned to support the battlefield on the eastern side, the last straw in Song Yingchang's mind was overwhelmed.
"Mingjin retreats!" The four words were spit out by Song Yingchang with difficulty one by one.
The fact that the Ming army suffered such heavy losses and did not defeat the enemy was a crushing defeat for the Ming army.
How many Ming soldiers were frightened by the cruel battlefield in front of them, and turned around to escape, but were ruthlessly slashed by the personal guards of the officers or generals.
Finally, the gong sounded, and the Ming army on the frontal battlefield was the first to begin to retreat, and not long after, the Ming army on the eastern battlefield also began to retreat.
Seeing the retreating Ming army, the People's Army did not pursue, and after a big battle, the People's Army was also tired, not to mention that the Ming Army only retreated, not a rout, and still had the strength to continue fighting.
Only the firearms units continued to fire at the Ming army, and the lead bullets fired from the tiger head guns and the solid shells fired by the artillery were sending the Ming troops off to retreat.
"Finally won!"
"We've won!"
"Won!"
On the battlefield, the KPA shouted cheers, and in the cheers, many KPA soldiers shed tears.
In the battle just past, I don't know how many comrades-in-arms sacrificed, I don't know how many establishments were completely broken up, and the People's Army paid too much for the victory of this battle.
"Finally won." Wang Shengrong followed along, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But the sacrifice of so many People's Army soldiers made Wang Shengrong's heart very uncomfortable, it was a life, but they all fell on this battlefield forever, if he could, Wang Shengrong really didn't want to have a war, and he didn't want to see so many people die.
But for the sake of the common ideals of all the people in the People's Army, Wang Shengrong could only suppress the sadness in his heart and continue to lead the People's Army to fight against the Ming Army!
The battle is over, the People's Army has not left the battlefield, and the People's Army soldiers who are still able to act are busy on the battlefield, collecting the corpses of their comrades, and also gathering the corpses of the enemy, by the way, to give the seriously wounded and dying Ming Army a good time, but for their own seriously injured and dying will use all means to force it, even if the possibility of saving it is very low.
Battlefield epidemic prevention is a very important project in the People's Army, and if the corpses on the battlefield are not disposed of after the battle is over, it is easy to produce epidemics.
In this era, it is impossible to effectively prevent and control epidemics, and if you are not careful, people will die in one place.
After collecting the corpses of their own personnel, the People's Army began to withdraw from the battlefield, and at the same time sent people to the Ming army to inform them that they could come back to collect the corpses of the Ming army's dead in battle.
Something similar happened after the last war between Song Yingchangjun and Wang Shengrongjun, when Song Yingchang was not worried about being deceived by the People's Army, and sent a Ming army to bring back the bodies of those who died in battle, even if they were deceived by the People's Army, the number of Ming casualties would not increase too much, and this matter could be used to "attack" the People's Army.
This attack refers to the use of public opinion against the KPA in the Ming court-ruled areas bordering the KPA, because the people in these areas have basically heard something about the KPA because they are so close to the KPA territory.
There are poor people who drag their families and flee to the territory of the People's Army, and there are also people who help the People's Army collect intelligence on the Ming Army, if there is an opportunity to touch the Black People's Army, Song Yingchang will definitely not miss this opportunity, but this opportunity is still not in Song Yingchang's hands.
After the end of this battle, Song Yingchang retreated with a large army, but also left a small army on the edge of the battlefield, and when the people of the People's Army came, this force entered the battlefield and pulled the corpses of the Ming army dead back with a car.
