1217 is short of manpower
"Sir, look at the situation on our side." And a lieutenant of the Zhao army's troops, who was interspersed with the banks of the river, held a telescope to guide a major of the Zhao army at this time.
"What's wrong?" The major said at this time.
"A large number of troops of the Qi army have landed on our side. There are 3,000 troops. The lieutenant said at this time.
"With the current strength of the force, we simply can't stop them." The lieutenant said at this time.
"If the Qi army in front of us and these landed Qi troops launch an attack together, the pressure we will be under will be beyond our range." This time. The lieutenant said.
"What can we do?" The major said at this time.
"A lot of what we lacked. Soldiers. Look at me our company. are all short. Some companies lack more than 40 percent of their personnel. There are also weapons and ammunition. The amount of supplies is far from what we consume. As long as the Qi army launches an attack. It is estimated that our ammunition will run out of energy. What should we do with empty ammunition? At this time, the major said helplessly.
"But there's no way around it." The lieutenant said at this time.
"I guess we exist to attract them. We are cavalry, we should be active and fighting, and our generals are now putting us in this place and not moving. It's nothing short of a disaster. The major said pessimistically.
"Oh my God." The lieutenant said at this time.
"We can only wait for our own fate." The major continued.
"Sir, Qin State Airship." At this time, a sergeant shouted loudly at the major.
"Tell our people, send a signal, let them airdrop a little more accurately." At this time, the major shouted loudly.
"Yes. Sir. The sergeant said loudly at this time.
And in the air. The pilots of the Celestial Army of the Qin State were looking down.
"Where's the damn Zhao people? Why did we come to give them airdrops? A flight sergeant complained loudly.
"Pay attention to the hill below, the only commanding height in this vicinity is from the Zhao people. We're going to have to airdrop supplies to them. A flight lieutenant said calmly as he looked at the situation below.
"It's on that hill below." The lieutenant said at this time.
"Open the hatch. Airdrop supplies. The lieutenant said at this time.
The sergeant struggled to open the hatch. And the lieutenant pushed the supplies out of the cabin at this time.
"They're airdropping supplies." This time. The soldiers of the Zhao army on the commanding heights shouted loudly.
The white parachute opened in the air, however, the wind in the air blew them in the direction of the Qi army.
The materials airdropped by the Qin army included ammunition, food, medicine and other important materials, and most of these materials needed to be treated with earthquakes. In particular, ammunition replenishment. You can't just airdrop it at all, however, there is a breeze over the vantage point. And the position of the Qin army's airship airdrop was slightly higher, and they remained at an altitude of between four hundred and five hundred.
After these supplies were airdropped, they were blown to the side of the Qi army by the wind. As a result, the materials obtained by the Qi army far exceeded those obtained by the Zhao army.
"Damn it. Are these Qin people helping the people of Qi? A Zhao soldier threw away his hat and shouted loudly.
"You traitors." Zhao Jun waved his arms loudly and scolded the heavenly army of the Qin State in the sky. The Celestial Army, on the other hand, simply dropped the supplies, closed the hatches, and immediately returned to their base.
"The supplies we get are really too small." The brigadier general of the Zhao army looked at the materials falling from the sky, and most of the materials fell on the Qi army's position. The soldiers of the Qi army happily gathered these supplies. However, the soldiers of the Zhao army were full of complaints, and the materials they got were very limited, limited to the point of pitiful.
And the soldiers of the Zhao army could only bow their heads and sigh, and this situation made the situation of the Zhao army more and more disadvantaged. And the supplies that the Qin army can provide can only go here.
The situation of the cavalry of the Zhao army moving south became worse and worse. And the situation of the Zhao army in the north is not much better.
"Put." An artillery officer of the Yan Army yelled loudly.
"Bang." "Bang." Several guns opened fire together.
"Whoosh. Whoosh. "Cannonballs whizzed out.
"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "The shell exploded in front of the position of the Zhao army more than three hundred paces in front of it.
"Ahh The Qi army that was charging was suddenly torn apart by the flying cannonballs. Many Qi soldiers were torn to pieces by flying shells. Even the smoke from the shells was heavily red. This made many Zhao Jun feel very terrified.
"Blow up, blow up these damn Qi troops." At this time, an officer of the Zhao Army, whose arm was still bleeding and whose head was already dyed red, shouted and cursed loudly.
There was blood all over his body, and his uniform was very torn. And in front of the position of the Zhao army, there are still a large number of corpses piled up, some of the Zhao army and some of the Qi army. It can be seen that they have experienced a very tragic battle before.
"Sir, sir." One was dressed in tatters. His face was covered in black dust, and some blood stains still remained on his face. The soldier walked over exhausted.
"Sir, we don't have many of us left." The soldier walked over tiredly. Find a place where there are no dead people and sit down. At his feet, there were two more entangled corpses.
A soldier of the Zhao army and a soldier of the Qi army, both holding bayonets, and the bayonets in the hands of the soldiers of the Zhao army stabbed in the air. But his hand was firmly on the other party's neck.
And on the other side. The Qi soldiers stabbed the bayonets in their hands deep into the chests of the Zhao soldiers. The two sides remained in this position and turned into two cold corpses. In the final battle, they fought in this way. Solved them in battle.
Zhao Jun and Qi Jun fought very hard. The Qi army directly charged the Zhao army's position with the tactics of crowd warfare, while the Zhao army resisted desperately. One company after another, a company of reinforcements was put into service. The Qi army attacked too much. Their strength was somewhat curtailed, after the Zhao army threw in a company of reinforcements. In the end, the Qi army was really unable to fight anymore and had to retreat.
After seeing the Qi army retreating. Officer Zhao Jun immediately rushed to the telephone. Fire support was called by phone. That's what happened just now.
"Our company is gone. Less than seventeen people are alive. More than 150 people. The soldier said with tears in his eyes.
"Hahahaha." This time. The officer laughed.
"You know what?" At this time, the officer said.
"If the Qi army doesn't retreat, I don't have to talk with a smile." The officer said at this time.
"Just now. I, I thought to myself. If the Qi army does not retreat, our own people will be able to fight for the same. The officer also sat down slowly.
The cannonballs whistling outside, no one was excited at all.
"I'm going to call in shells and bomb us all over here. A piece of desperate death. The officer said.
And the soldier just stared blankly at the officer. Then he burst into tears.
And the officer just smiled bitterly.
The shelling continues. Yan Jun also opened up to fight, Zhao Jun told them. If their positions could not be held, their artillery positions would not be there. Hearing such a threat, the artillerymen of the Yan army immediately changed their opinion. They no longer felt sorry for their shells, and began to frantically fire at the targets set by the Zhao army, anyway, when they abandoned their positions, these shells could not be taken away. It's better to directly blow up a few more Qi troops.
Rumbling cannons could be heard in the distance. And inside the front-line command. The major general of the Zhao army was anxiously waiting for the staff officer's answer.
"Whew." The staff officer ran in breathlessly.
"Report." The staff officer reported loudly.
"Tell me, what's the situation?" This time. The major general shouted loudly.
And the staff officer just shook his head helplessly.
"There are no troops to draw out. Although the Qi army on the front did not attack. But they have significantly increased their forces. And we drew two companies of troops from this direction, and we were just too nervous. Nearby troops could not be drawn either, and our shortfall was simply too great. The staff officer said at this time.
"Yes." The major general pinched his waist with both hands, not knowing what to do.
"There are no more troops nearby to call on." The staff officer said at this time.
"And the two infantry companies that we have just put in now have suffered heavy casualties. The report received by the front says: Their casualties wiped out almost the entire company. The staff officer said at this time.
"Don't talk about that. What we need now are people, not casualty figures, and those who die are of no use to us. At this time, the major general shouted loudly.
"We want people, people, people." The major general said loudly.
And all the staff officers around him stopped talking at this time. They know. To speak now is to speak in vain.
"Sir, are we going to send some personnel from other units into battle? The other thing is that reinforcements are needed. "This time. A staff officer boldly put forward his own views.
"Reinforcements need to be telegraphed. Personnel from other units, what other people have not been transferred? At this time, the major general asked.
"There are also some sappers. As well as medical personnel, men, and some transporters. The staff officer said at this time.
"Put them into battle. Do you think it's possible? The major general asked.
"For now, that's all there is to do. Not really, us. At this time, the staff officer looked at the people around him.
"We're going to have to cut all the staff in half. Throw yourself into battle. The staff officer then bowed his head and said.
"They're all officers." At this time, a colonel's staff officer said loudly. Apparently he was going to oppose it.
