2383 Night Battle on the Southern Front
"Pay attention to surveillance. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," Chen Ying said to everyone, putting down the binoculars in his hand.
"Don't worry, the coalition side will send troops over, and reinforcements will arrive in our rear, at least the situation will not be worse than now." Chen Ying said to Lieutenant Zhao Xiang.
"Okay. Sir. Zhao Xiang said helplessly.
The situation of the South Korean New Army is very unoptimistic, the morale is extremely low, the area they defend is also very large, and the continuous rain has made their situation even worse, and the soldiers' clothes are already soaked. Although there were shelters from the rain, the trenches needed to be cleared of stagnant water, and many soldiers were soaked in water. As a result, a large number of soldiers fell ill, and many more became incapacitated for various reasons. But reinforcements from the rear were delayed, which made the morale of many soldiers even lower.
"Bang." At that moment, a gunshot broke the silence of the night.
"There is a situation." Chen Ying was the first to react.
"Bang. Bang. Bang. At this moment, more gunfire was heard, and the battle suddenly became fierce.
"Sir, there's someone rushing behind us." Just when Chen Ying paid attention to the situation ahead. A soldier reported.
"Shoot, aim shoot." Lieutenant Zhao Xiang shouted loudly.
"Boom." Zhao Xiang had just finished shouting loudly, a huge explosion came, and then he was pushed directly to the edge of the trench, his head hurt a little, and he was a little dizzy looking at the surrounding situation. The ears are also buzzing. He saw that the soldier he had reported before was now standing on the ground with only two feet left, and his upper body was gone. That is, he has already died. He didn't know what was going on, and all of a sudden, something like this would happen.
Shortly after the explosion, a Goguryeo man rushed in with a flintlock pistol with a bayonet on it, and the Goguryeo people looked very arrogant.
"Bang bang. Bang. Chen Ying used the revolver in his hand to shoot continuously. The Goguryeo and the Goguryeo behind were shot.
"Hurry up, let's get out of here, the Goguryeo people have infiltrated." Chen Ying shouted loudly. Zhao Xiang heard some voices at this time, and his commander dragged him out of here, and after coming outside, the South Korean New Army used all their flares, and he saw that too many positions around him had been breached. These positions were supposed to be defended, but now they are gone. Many soldiers of the South Korean New Army were killed, because the combat distance was too close, and some areas had too few supplies, and according to the standards of the Qin people, barbed wire should have been arranged to hinder the other side's advance, but there was no more. Because the logistics are not smooth.
"Bang. Bang. Chen Ying continued to fire, and his pistol soon ran out of bullets, but the Goguryeo people were still breaking through their positions.
"Hide." Chen Ying ordered. Saying that, Chen Ying picked up a flintlock pistol and fought with the rushing Goguryeo people to fight the bayonet, but Zhao Xiang still did not react, he wanted to reload the bullet to help his commander.
"Boom. Rumble. An explosion was heard in the distance, and the Goguryeo people became even more frenzied, and he saw that his commander was successfully attacked from behind by a Goguryeo, stabbing him in the back. The situation may not be good.
"Ahh A Goguryeo saw Zhao Xiang. The rifle with the bayonet on it rushed over.
"Bang bang." Zhao Xiang shot continuously. Six bullets were fired at the opponent, but because they rushed so hard, the Goguryeo people pounced on him. The bayonet was also unlucky enough to stab him in the thigh. He was overwhelmed. The battle continues.
Inside the Chu army barracks.
Fan Zeng was discussing a telegram from the Queen of South Korea with Xiang Yan.
"This person should be handed over." Xiang Yan said to Fan Zeng.
"Hmm. The general is righteous. Fan Zeng praised that he also thought that he would have to spend a long time convincing General Xiang Yan, after all, Xiang Yan is the chief of the General Staff, and such a position does take a long time to convince. Judging from the current situation of the Chu State, the Chu State still needs more help from the South Korean side, and a large number of logistics materials come from the South Korean government, although some funds have not been paid in time, but the South Korean side has still given great help, in military training, as well as military tactical education, and most importantly, the Chu side has selected more than 800 officer trainees to study in South Korea. Korea and Chu are in the honeymoon phase. There is still a lot of need between the two countries, and it would be too costly to break up relations because of a soldier. Therefore, Fan Zeng decided to hand over the soldier, and besides, the soldier did commit a crime.
"This soldier should be handed over, it's not my righteousness, the soldier who committed the crime should make a decision like this." Xiang Yan said. In fact, what really impressed Xiang Yan was discipline, the Qin army was able to maintain good discipline, and good discipline could greatly improve their combat effectiveness, Xiang Yan checked the situation of the Chu army, and in the barracks, the soldiers of the Chu army were able to do very well. But once out of the barracks, the situation gets out of control, and most importantly, the prestige of the officers is not established, and many officers and soldiers stay in the way of thinking. This was a fatal to the development of the Chu army. Xiang Yan wants to deepen this kind of discipline. Not only that, but he also hopes to further cooperate with the South Korean New Army to carry out a larger-scale revolutionary military reform of the Chu Army, as far as the current combat effectiveness of the Chu Army is concerned. The combat effectiveness of the Chu army is relatively weak, and there are big problems in terms of organization and battle generation. The officer's thinking can't keep up, and after so long, someone still calls him a general instead of a commander.
"Hmm. In that case, we will be able to solve a large part of the problem. There is another issue, and I hope that the general will consider sending further troops to Liaodong by sea. This is because it takes too long to transport troops by land. Recently, the situation in Liaodong has been very calm, calm and afraid, and I am worried that things have suddenly changed a lot. If we in Chu do not have a single soldier to participate in the war, we will not have a share in the final war reparations. This is more important than the indemnity to the future development of the Chu State, and I hope the general will pay attention to it. Fan Zeng reminded Xiang Yan.
"However, I am very worried about the safety of the boat. Our ships are old. Most of the ships are no longer suitable for high-sea transportation, unless we use Korean ships, and only then can we send troops into battle. Xiang Yan said. In order to prevent something like that last time, Xiang Yan was dissatisfied with the newly established naval equipment, and he hoped to change this situation. Fan Zeng felt embarrassed after hearing this.
