257 Good, good, good!
This answer is difficult for the staff officers to answer. Because they can't make such a choice. Although the Third Brigade is known for its ferocity, many people don't know what to do when a unit is ordered to lose its fate. Therefore, it is already very remarkable that the independent brigade was able to hold out to the end.
Outside Huguan County. The Red Turban Army temporarily suspended its military operations to attack the county seat.
"Are there many casualties?" Li Yun asked his staff officer worriedly.
"Sir, it's not very big, seventeen killed. There are more injuries, and most of them can be treated in time. There are about forty people, and they can all be fine. But, sir, if we can increase our offensive intensity this time, I think a lot of things can be solved. A captain staff officer said.
"No, the attack on the county seat didn't go so smoothly, and I was already distressed enough to lose seventeen of them. We're just tentatively attacking this time. The officers and soldiers inside can react quickly, what does this mean? It shows that the county town is not so easy to fight, and our attack force is insufficient. There are no decent siege heavy weapons, and in such a situation, it is already very good to be able to launch such an attack. Li Yun said distressedly.
They launched a tentative attack, and the results of the attack were still not very promising. The Huguan defenders still have a strong counterattack capability, and if they forcibly launch an attack, they will form huge losses, which is definitely not something that the Taihang Military Region can bear. Li Yun felt very sorry for his subordinates, and he decided not to attack without any heavy weapon support.
"Forget it. Waiting for reinforcements, maybe the new army in the West Garden, and the end of the battle on the eastern battlefield, we can completely end the war. Never mind. If you don't attack, besiege, let's besiege it for a long time, and see how Huguan County can hold on. Li Yun said.
"Yes, sir." The staff officer reluctantly accepted such an order. Many of them think that it should be possible to attack the county seat, but the cost of attacking the county seat is huge, the equipment of the Taihang Mountain Military Region is relatively backward, although they have muskets, bags, and spears have been supplemented to a certain extent by means of capture, but training, and tactics, this can not be supplemented all at once, in fact, the Red Turban Army in the Taihang Mountain area, as well as the Red Turban Army in the Shangdang area, there is still not much improvement in the quality of individual combat. The main reason why they were able to win the battle was that their strategy and policy decisions played a large role. At the same time, the imperial court lost the support of the general public, and naturally failed quickly, but the imperial army that failed again still had a certain combat effectiveness, and they could still exert greater combat effectiveness.
Li Yun looked at Huguan County, Huguan County has become a piece of his heart, if he can't effectively and continue to fight here, he can't continue to do many things.
Inside the command of Shang Wu. Little Snot put a bowl of hot dumpling soup on the command table.
"Uncle, eat." Little Snot said. This child is stubborn, he insists on finding his uncle, but unfortunately, the uncle will never be found. Many of the corpses on the battlefield were trampled by the cavalry and were not human. Although Little Snot is not afraid, he wants to give his uncle a few cookies, but unfortunately, he will never find his uncle. Little Snot was very sad for the first time and couldn't eat, and his uncle was his relative. Now, Little Snot is a person again. But fortunately, he recovered quickly, and this kid has seen too many cruel realities. So much so that this child is not very good at laughing.
"Hmm. Small snot, is the snot wiped clean? Shang Wu asked, turning from the map and looking at Little Snot.
"The little snot doesn't run anymore." Little Snot said.
"Well, you have to learn to be clean and tidy in the future, and you can't be like in the past. Also, I have to go to the school to study in the future. Gain more knowledge. Shang Wu said to Little Snot. Little Snot is not stupid, but it's a pity that there are many, many children like him in this era, and they have to endure too many social realities when they are young. Maybe there are some benefits to this, because their minds are growing faster.
"Uncle. I don't want to go to school. Little Snot looked down and said.
"Smack." Shang Wu picked up the chopsticks and heard Xiao Snot say this. Very angry.
"Nonsense, you are still a child, you still have a long way to go in the future, you have to rely on your brain in the future, if you don't study, do you still want to become illiterate?" Shang Wu learned a lesson.
"Nope. Uncle, I, I want to go to military school, I want to go to war. Little Snot said.
"Kid. You are still young, and this war is still far away. Shang Wu persuaded. He didn't know why Little Snot made such a choice.
"Uncle, the little snot is not small. I didn't know it was a war, but now I know that many people have died in war. Uncle too. Little Snot looked down and said.
"I don't want people to see that there are so many people who die in the war, and I want to go to the military academy because that's the only way to stop the war." Little Snot said.
"What's wrong with the little snot?" Jia Xu happily came in with a big bowl of dumpling soup at this time.
"Child, you are still young, learn more knowledge, even if it is for the sake of military school, you must learn more other knowledge, in the future, we are unlikely to have a large-scale war here. Uncle gave assurances that many people, many people did not die for no reason. Shang Wu said.
"Hmm." Little snot just mumbled.
"Go ahead. Go for dumpling soup. Shang Wu said, and the little snot left.
"What's wrong with this kid?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"This kid wants to go to military school and learn to fight, oh my God." Shang Wu shook his head and said.
"There are so many cruel things that this kid has embraced. Other children may have some fear of death, but what I saw was that this child was very indifferent to death, and I saw that child looking for him among the corpses in order to find his uncle. Adults are still terrified. But he's still a kid. Jia Xu said.
"yes, if it weren't for us, maybe Little Snot would have been killed and one of those corpses." Shang Wu said. In this era, there is no psychiatrist, there is no way to provide psychological counseling to him, and no one knows what kind of psychological distortion the child will have when the young mind is exposed to death prematurely.
"Perhaps, going to the army is also a good thing." Jia Xu said.
"Perhaps, but I don't really want such a child to go to the army, after all, the future needs all kinds of scientific, construction, and management talents to go to the army." Shang Wu shook his head and said worriedly.
"yes. What you don't know is that we have taken in more than 20,000 children in this war. Most of them have lost their parents, and without us, these children would have frozen to death and starved to death. We can still give them a mouthful of food now, and in addition to that, the problem of education is also a big problem, and this damn war, end it quickly. Jia Xu said. Damn, it was first used as the word for shit, and every time Shang Wu scolded someone, he scolded like this, after all, he was used to it. Jia Xu asked many times what it meant, but Shang Wu could only explain that damn it, and then, Jia Xu was also infected. And all of this is contagious from Shangwu, and Jia Xu attributed all of this to Shangwu. And not himself.
"That's right. You were so happy, what made you happy like this? Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu and asked.
"Hehe, look, the little snot has forgotten all the good things I did. This dumpling, in my opinion, should be called victory soup. Jia Xu said and pushed the bowl and said.
"What do you mean?" Shangwu asked.
"This dumpling soup is more powerful than a cannon. The New Army of the West Park smelled it. More than 8,000 people came over at once, and the 4th Infantry Brigade suddenly became a large infantry brigade of 5,000 people. The combat effectiveness is rising rapidly. Jia Xu said.
"Oh?" Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu strangely, he couldn't believe that an ordinary bowl of dumpling soup could have such great power.
"Don't believe it, this is a battle report, and it is estimated that more will surrender today. The New Army of the West Garden may be able to solve it faster than the Northern Army. Jia Xu said.
"Really?" Shang Wu himself did not expect that it would be such a situation, and the speed of development far exceeded his expectations. This is simply a big victory like never before.
"Therefore, this dumpling soup should be renamed Victory Soup, this dumpling soup, if you can win every time, my old Jia, eat this every day." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Huh. Then how many sheep are eaten every day, and we eat dumplings every day. Flour, meat, we can't afford to eat this. Shang Wu shook his head with a smile and said.
"Afford to eat, afford to eat." Jia Xu said with a smile.
Looking at such a battle report, Shang Wu was very happy, at least they solved a big piece of heart disease. He was very happy in his heart.
Yang Village, inside the headquarters of Lao Mu. Lao Mu was also very excited.
"Surrendered. All surrendered? Lao Mu asked Zhang Qing in surprise.
"All surrendered. Large numbers of prisoners of war are being gathered. We didn't expect that some of the officers still wanted to resist, but they were all tied up by their subordinates. There is no way, the morale of the new army in the West Park has completely dispersed. Zhang Qing said excitedly.
"Good. Good. All right. Lao Mu excitedly shouted three good words.
"Fuck." Saying that, Lao Mu fell down all of a sudden.
"Lao Mu, Lao Mu, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Qing shouted loudly. But Lao Mu lay down all of a sudden.
