Chapter 446: Boom
On the edge of a small river, a group of officers were scooping up binoculars and staring at all sides, and one of the leading officers asked loudly: "Have all the marines crossed the river?" ”
An officer beside him said, "All of them should have crossed the river, and besides, all the wounded have already crossed the river!"
But he was not moved by the news at all, but shouted loudly: "Don't drag the mud over the water, if there is any more mud and water, my head will not be saved, but before that, I will take your head!"
The person who spoke was the brigade commander of the reserve brigade, Yu Lingdong, this year, the brigade commander Yu Lingdong, had a bad year, first in the Yanzhou Campaign, there was a big problem with the teaching regiment, although the commander of the teaching regiment was not him at that time, but everyone pushed the problem of the teaching regiment on him.
But the battle of Yanzhou was indeed not his responsibility for Yu Lingdong, but this battle completely affected the use of Yu Lingdong, the previous time he organized the Huzhou Coal and Iron Conference, and as a result, he, the commander of the oldest reserve brigade, failed to become the commander, but let the woman in the cavalry brigade snatch it away.
That's it, but this time the Fengjing Town Battle Reserve Brigade was indeed a big ugly, although Yu Lingdong knew that the overall loss of the reserve brigade was not large, the unit was complete, and there was no loss of an organized infantry company, infantry platoon or even infantry squad, but everyone put the responsibility for being forced to withdraw on him Yu Lingdong.
He Yu Lingdong can only fight public security battles, not big battles, I am afraid that he will have to carry it for the rest of his life, it is no wonder that Yu Lingdong is so angry, but as the commander of the reserve brigade, he has to shoulder this responsibility.
There is no way, it is absolutely true that the reserve brigade did not fight well in this battle, and as a brigade commander, although there are objective factors, he must bear subjective responsibility.
Although the reserve brigade of this campaign has a certain responsibility, it is also necessary to see what units are in the reserve brigade now. Although the history of the battalion is not long, the entire unit is a reserve formation, and there is never a stable formation, and from time to time the infantry and artillery that have been retrained have to be handed over to other units.
This time, he was dispatched to Fengjing Town to fight. In such a difficult situation, the harmonious unit still maintained a considerable fighting spirit, and even managed to fight with the Russian battalion for a whole morning, not to mention that there were many heavy firearms and the factors that left the fighters behind.
Just summarize and go. Yu Lingdong still can't help but admit that he, the brigade commander, must take responsibility, and he has to take the primary responsibility, which makes him angry nowhere to dissipate.
He is an old man who participated in the Hongjun Army when Yueqing County raised an uprising, but today is the most depressing day in his life, not to mention that he has heard that Liu Chang has made cruel words, so he has the greatest responsibility for this setback. So he had to stay here and get all the units out, or else he would have his head.
Come to think of this. Yu Lingdong's scalp was numb, although it was said that the wounded had crossed the river, there were still a number of large and small units still left on the other side of the river, and he had to stay here and not let a single unit lose anything.
Just thinking about it, another team of people trotted over there, Yu Lingdong didn't dare to think about it, and shouted loudly: "Attention, attention, don't let your guard down!"
He's at this juncture. Don't dare to have any more problems, as long as there is any problem, he, the reserve brigade commander, will do it to the end.
Fortunately, it is his own person, although the grass-colored military uniform has been submerged by the dust, but the person who took the lead is Yu Ling: "Lao Li!"
"Brigade Commander Yu, you are personally guarding here. That's good!" It was Li Guanglei, the head of the Jiaxing detachment, who spoke, and he told Yu Lingdong: "I personally rode a horse and walked on the opposite side, and now the large and small units have crossed the river, and as soon as our mixed battalion crosses the river, you can retreat!" …,
It's just that Li Guanglei spoke, but he didn't have too high emotions, and Yu Lingdong also felt it: "Captain Li, have you really searched?" ”
"Searched!" Li Guanglei told Yu Lingdong: "There is still a cavalry platoon of mine on the opposite side, but they will be able to cross the river soon, you don't have to worry about them, they can cross the river by themselves!"
"Good!"
It's just that Li Guanglei didn't want to, he still stayed on the other side of the river, and even when the last Hongjun soldier crossed the river, he still stood on the other side with a depressed spirit, Yu Lingdong knew his emotions, he personally dismounted, and then walked through the steps: "Captain Li, the troops have withdrawn, let's cross the river!"
"I'm not reconciled!" Li Guanglei said angrily: "If this battle is fought, we will be the second regiment of the dragon lance, and we will fall short!"
"I review, I review!" Yu Lingdong said: "This is the responsibility of our reserve brigade!"
"I don't blame you!" It would be false to say that there is no grievance, but Li Guanglei really did not hold Yu Lingdong responsible: "It's because we are not determined enough, if we can solve the Yibing in Fengjing Town as soon as possible, then we won't be like this!"
He said very unwillingly: "Although not a single one of the more than 800 color numbers was lost, and all of them crossed the river, our detachment alone was forced to abandon the twelve captured camp guns and general guns, and the baggage was also forced to be abandoned, which is the first time in the history of our detachment and the first time in the history of our Rainbow Army!"
This is indeed a truth, although the Rainbow Army announced that it had won a complete victory in this battle, but to the end, it was the coalition forces that controlled the battlefield, and the Rainbow Army was forced to abandon some of the captured heavy equipment and baggage in the retreat, and did not achieve a comprehensive victory, and was forced to return to Jiaxing Mansion, which was the first time in the history of the Rainbow Army.
Therefore, the depression on Li Guanglei's face is true, and the morale of the entire Rainbow Army is also like Li Guanglei, and it has suffered a considerable blow.
In the past, the teaching regiment and the reserve brigade rarely felt such emotions, and he couldn't help but sigh faintly: "That's how we say it, our reserve brigade has lost the bodies of 37 martyrs, and I want to fight back in my dreams and snatch back the bodies of these martyrs!"
Although no seriously wounded were lost, all units were forced to lose the bodies of some martyrs, and Li Guanglei also felt the same way: "Our detachment also lost the bodies of 17 martyrs, I'm sorry for them!"
While speaking, Yu Lingdong and Li Guanglei's mood was very heavy, and as they were talking, a platoon of cavalry had already stepped out with a roaring pace, and when they saw them, Li Guanglei said to Yu Lingdong: "You guys should withdraw first!" I'll take the cavalry to break off!"
"I'm coming, I don't believe I can't fight back!"
Although it is said that although the performance of both sides on the battlefield can be said to be even, although the enemy army has been hit a lot, but for the rainbow army, retreat is a failure, and a complete victory is a failure, so everyone is very emotional on the way to retreat.
"It's good to go back to Jiaxing, I don't know what counteroffensive to go back!" Yu Lingdong was still thinking about this question.
The Jiaxing detachment has been operating in Jiaxing Prefecture for several months, so as soon as it entered Jiaxing Prefecture, there were township platoons, basic militia and independent companies in the county to respond to it, which relaxed the pressure on the reserve brigade a lot, but the frustration always weighed on the hearts of the entire unit.
They didn't know when they would be able to return to this hot land where they had paid their blood and passion, so many officers and soldiers had their heads bowed, but the next moment they heard a cheer: "What is happening ahead? ”
Even commanders like Li Guanglei and Yu Lingdong were curious about such cheers, and the voice was like a big victory, and soon they knew the reason: "Commander Zhou of the Cavalry Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade have arrived in ......"..., "At the same time, the main force of the newly built Seventh Brigade and the successor echelon of the Marine Brigade ......"
"Okay!" Li Guanglei became excited: "As soon as the cavalry brigade arrives, our rainbow army will be like a tiger......
The cavalry brigade is the number one unit in the Rainbow Army, but the next news that came made the captain of the Jiaxing detachment shout on his horse: "Hurray!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray!"
The news of this brought all the emotions of defeat to the smoke, and the whole army was immediately filled with optimism, just a small setback, we only retreated a few kilometers from the front line, and the final victory was ours.
"The 1st Division is back! The First Division is back!"
Dragonlance Regiment, Teaching Regiment...... These oldest infantry regiments in the history of the Rainbow Army, along with some of the new infantry regiments of the Rainbow Army, have returned, fighting with everyone, although the news that comes is only clear that the first division has returned to Zhejiang from Jiangxi Province, and now it has officially entered Zhejiang.
But for cadres like Li Guanglei, they know very well that the First Division is the number one trump card of the Rainbow Army, and wherever the First Division goes, there will be victory!
Even Yu Lingdong was excited: "The teaching group is back, everything will be fine......"
All the negative emotions are gone, he is even willing to be demoted, go back to be the commander of the teaching regiment, and bring his old troops well, and ten minutes, Liu Chang has already brought a company of cavalry to meet them, the cavalry of this company are all athletes in Zhou Xiuying's cavalry brigade, he confirmed the news that the unit was jubilant: "The first division is back, the first division is back, our old dragon spear battalion is back, at most there will be two weeks at most, and the entire first division will all come back!"
Li Guanglei rode over directly: "Your Highness, our Jiaxing detachment wants to fight back now!"
"Then just wait for Commander Qu to come back!" Liu Chang said with a smile: "You fought very well this time, although the troops suffered heavy casualties, but they have been tempered, and they have really brought the troops out, rest assured, you will make up for as many casualties as you want, and there are ......"
"You immediately expanded into the main infantry regiment? Bo Hang, what is the number of the infantry regiment? ”
Next to him, Yu Lingdong interjected and said, "Your Highness, what about our brigade?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
