Chapter 612: The Battle of Haihuai IV
Baijiapo, located in the center of the battle between the two armies, originally there were dozens of families living here, and later because of the war and military disasters, the residents had to move away from here, now this has become a battlefield, the surrounding houses have all become ruins, as far as the eye can see, there is a broken wall and ruins all around, the ground is covered with trenches, from a distance, as if the earth is full of cracks.
The original territory of the Battle Guards was next to Baijiapo, but because of the successive defeats in the battle, Ruan Moxuan was first forced back by Zhong Yuan for eighty miles, and Pan Futian was forced to retreat for seventy miles after taking over the frontline battlefield, as of now, the buffer zone of three hundred miles in front of the main city of the Battle Guards Army is only one hundred and fifty miles left at the moment, and the Japanese army led by Zhong Yuan has advanced the position to the front line by half.
Before the war in the war zone, the total strength of the rebels was 29 million, and the strength of the battle guards was 24 million, originally the enemy and us planned to use the two theaters as positions to fight a tough battle, but I didn't expect that the Sky Tower changed all this, and the battle had not yet started so that Ling Xia and Si Qikong transferred the battlefield, during this period, both sides lost a lot of soldiers and horses.
The 24 million soldiers of the Battle Guard Army still have 22 million at the moment, and there are three integrated corps hoarded in the base camp of the rear city, and Ling Xia, Lu Jianxing, and Si Qikong each have one corps. In order to buffer the siege of the rebels, Ling Xia and the three of them set up a column from the front of the position, each column had a million troops, in addition, there were three main forward troops responsible for the battle.
The strength of each main forward force is more than 1.3 million people, Ruan Moxuan is the first commander of the main forward force of the Ling Xia camp, he just took over the forward force when he had 1.3 million people, but because of the defeat to Zhong Yuan, he also lost more than 200,000 soldiers when he was losing and retreating, and when Pan Futian became the commander, there were still more than 1.1 million people left in the forward force.
Although Pan Futian also did not resist Zhongyuan's attack, but fortunately he saw the opportunity relatively quickly, after several battles, Pan Futian found that he could not fight Zhongyuan, he immediately led his troops to retreat more than 70 miles, although he lost half of the buffer belt, but did not give the lives of the soldiers in vain, when Ling Xia rushed to the front line to take over the troops, the forward troops still have 105000 soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is well preserved.
I have to say that Ling Xia has accumulated a high prestige from the army over the years, seeing Ling Xia come to the front line to command, the soldiers of the forward troops are all very happy, and the morale of the army, which was originally depressed and sunk because of the retreat, has risen again, and Ling Xia has lived up to expectations.
Ling Xia gathered the soldiers in the army who had fought against the Japanese invaders, and asked them to complain bitterly in front of the soldiers of the whole army about the various acts of the Japanese invaders, such as disembowelment examinations, live target exercises, live burial of prisoners, killing competitions, burning the city with black fire, rape and plunder, slaughtering the city for fun, looting and looting...... When these veterans told the soldiers about their personal experiences, Ling Xia also asked people to record everything from the side.
Many of the soldiers on the side of the war guards were militiamen, and some of them were converted from captive soldiers, and the reason why they joined the army was either to fill their stomachs, or because they were captured by the local government, so they did not have a strong sense of belonging, but the words of the veterans deeply stung these people, and they were all sad and indignant when they learned of the sins committed by the Japanese invaders.
Ling Xia asked the veterans to tell for three days and three nights, and on the fourth day, he ordered everyone to rest, while he asked Yue Qianfeng and Yin Jiuxu to lead two groups of people and horses, with the evidence of the crimes of the Japanese Invaders that had just been copied, to distribute leaflets in the rebel camp opposite......
