Chapter 895: Redeployment
The battle has been fought for a few days, and the First Field Division has also encountered such a situation, there are too many soldiers and horses on the opposite side of them, with more than 23,000 troops in one of their divisions, they actually fought with heavy losses and had to retreat, those captive soldiers and the strong men of the people were even more killed and wounded, many people ran away, and the servant army also fled, so they were anxious and had to ask for reinforcements.
The 3rd Field Division, which attacked the county seat of Tianjin, suffered heavy losses, not only did it not capture the county seat of Tianjin, but was surrounded by several times the enemy, and if it had not retreated to the coast and had the artillery cover of the warships at sea, they might have been completely annihilated.
Wang Dong's mind once again reappeared the scene of their arduous resistance in the field of Wencheng, Shandong Prefecture.
The urgent documents flew to the rear like snowflakes, and the Baghyalu Corps urgently dispatched and quickly advanced into Hebei Prefecture.
First, it recovered Cangzhou Mansion, which had been reoccupied by the enemy, and then divided its troops to support the 1st Field Division, and then sent a cavalry brigade to the headquarters of the rescue corps, while Wang Dong's 3rd Division was urgently mobilized by the Naval Division to mobilize the servant army of the Zhu Ge Corps and a field brigade reinforcement with warships and warships.
Therefore, 300,000 Japanese servants and prisoners of Japanese soldiers were urgently loaded onto ships and transported to the port near the county seat of Tianjin, where Wang Dong was located, and it took five days in a row, and all the old ships of the First Fleet were used to transport them, and then the two disabled field brigades of the Third Field Division were transported to the Japanese island for rest and repair.
The 7th Field Division of the Zhu Ge Corps was transported to the port, and the 7th Field Division of the Bagyalu Corps was returned to the mainland as the 7th Field Division of the Bagyalu Corps, although the 7th Field Division in Japan was also damaged, but it was still able to take out two field brigades to supplement the strength of Wang Dong's 3rd Field Division, and the division headquarters of the 7th Field Division did not reach the mainland, but only two field brigades.
Zhang Qiang and Xiao Fei urgently studied countermeasures and put the Baghyalu Corps on top, but the strength was still insufficient, so they transferred two garrison brigades from Henan Prefecture to Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, two garrison brigades from Hubei Prefecture to Shanxi Prefecture, and the Second Field Division of the Fengwu Feather Corps rushed to Shanxi Prefecture to strengthen the strength of the army, and the Eighth Field Division galloped to the 16th Field Division of Dongfeng Po under the leadership of Tianying.
Because Feng Wuyu was already the general and deputy chief of staff of the General Staff, the division commander could only be General Ma Weiren of the Fourth Guards Division, who had been abolished.
The division commander of the Guards Division was definitely one level higher than the division commander of the Field Division.
In addition, the reorganized garrison brigade of the 890th Elite Brigade of the Southeast Asian Militia was transferred to the island of Japan, and the commander of the 8th Brigade Sko took over as the commander of the garrison brigade to garrison Hokkaido, and at the same time transferred cadets and grassroots officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions to form the 4th Field Brigade of the 17th Field Division, and the 17th Field Division was responsible for guarding the corner of Honshu Island extending to Hokkaido, as well as Hokkaido.
In this way, the Huaxia Army will have 11 elite divisions with 25,000 troops.
In the past, all divisions with less than 10 divisions had a larger establishment than the lower 11 and later units, and the number of soldiers was good, but now there are 11.
It's a bit like the meaning of the Japanese standing teacher.
There are also divisions like the A and B divisions in later generations, and the purpose of the standing divisions is not to say that they have more troops, but because they must preserve so many troops in case they need to split and expand more soldiers and horses in the future.
When Zhang Qiang remobilized his troops, Dongfeng Po had already tried to break through here, and it seemed that they had occupied a gap two miles wide, and the enemy could no longer trap them, but Dong Dongfeng Po knew that this was actually an illusion, the enemy had too many cavalry, as long as the enemy wanted to pursue, they could not run, and the infantry against the cavalry would definitely not be able to run past the cavalry.
Therefore, after the breakthrough, he sent people to find the commander of the cavalry regiment, and again sent people to the 8th Field Division to look for reinforcements.
And what he didn't know was that in fact, Tianying wanted to go away, but he couldn't leave, because they were entangled by the Mongols, and the Mongols attacked the pass and infiltrated in many ways, and he had enough troops to defend the Great Wall, and the soldiers and horses of the cavalry brigade were plugged everywhere.
He also complained to the General Staff.
Wan Douni's 10th Field Division had already sent all its cavalry to them to help them find the Mongol assault force.
Wan Douni was entangled by the horse gangs and bandits of those local merchants, and had to divide his troops to defend various county towns, and sent a servant army to encircle and suppress the bandits and horse gangs in Shanxi, as well as the troublemakers in Shanxi Prefecture.
They occupied the land, branded all the merchants into reactionaries, and of course the merchants had to fight back, colluding with the Mongols, colluding with the latent Qing army, and the Qing Dynasty was meticulous and made trouble for him everywhere, and the headquarters of the Merlin Fish Corps was also busy quelling the civil strife, accepting and organizing garrison brigades, and sending garrison brigade troops to various county towns and prefectures.
As the civil strife in the garrison basically subsided, or there was no need to worry about the field corps, but the enemy also came, the Qing Dynasty frantically counterattacked before death, and used the Mongols and Qing soldiers to harass Shanxi Prefecture from the outside grassland, and Shanxi Prefecture could only be defended by relying on the Ming city wall.
This is the helplessness of the farming people to the steppe nomads.
Although the Huaxia army is already very elite, and its equipment has jumped from cold weapons to the era of muskets, but, but, but, there is no machine gun, no corresponding elite cavalry, and no corresponding number of cavalry, the Huaxia army still cannot, for the time being, it can't go deep into the steppe to find the Mongols to settle accounts.
As a musket and firearms unit, the Huaxia Army tried its best to rely on the rear supply, and the enemy's cavalry came and went like the wind, if the supply was cut off, the muskets would have to be turned into burning sticks, so they could only fight with the enemy.
At this time, Zhang Qiang understood why all dynasties, except for the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, had no way to deal with the Mongols, and never wanted to expand their territory, it was because there was no need, they couldn't hold it, and if they wanted to defend it, they had to get so many nomadic people to go, once there was a change, those people would become someone else's population, or a new steppe nomad.
The Mongol population was originally small, why more and more, it was the Han people in the frontier who ran over to help them continue the population, continue the race, and the Jurchens also plundered the population of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years before changing from 100,000 to 100,000, so that they could have troops to capture Shanhaiguan, with the hard work of Wu Sangui and others, as well as Kong Youde, Li Chengdong, Shang Kexi and other traitors to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty.
If they only rely on a population of more than 1 million and more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, they may not be able to defeat all of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty produces a reliable emperor with high prestige, then they can re-stage the century-old glory of the Southern Song Dynasty and rule the river.
It's a pity, the traitors are too powerful, Li Zicheng's Dashun army is too completely destroyed to the Ming Dynasty in the north, the Qing army doesn't want to just get a broken north, and there are Han ministers like Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng who plan and persuade them to surrender, so that no one in the Ming Dynasty can organize a strong government to regain the hearts of the people and train the army.
The reality is that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of traitors, at the hands of the Han people themselves, and that the Ming Dynasty was too harsh on the people.
