The victory of the Nanchang meeting has been decided, and the front line of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties will advance to the north in stride, and it is not appropriate for Wang Kefan's command to be placed in Zhangshu Town, so he has made a big move this time, bringing the staff department, logistics department, baggage troops, etc., and the speed of the march is much slower than that of the combat troops.

But Wang Kefan is not in a hurry, the Chu army has developed to this point, and there is no need for him to charge into battle in person, he can command the battle during the march, there is no need to run too fast.

According to the information sent by the scouts, the Qing army was fleeing north by boat in batches, and it was obvious that Tan Tai had accepted the fact of defeat and seemed to be preparing to retreat to the Jiujiang line. This was undoubtedly a wise decision for Tan Tai, who was attacked on his back, but it was very unhappy for Wang Kefan, the Chu army had no sailors, and could not intercept the Qing army that fled by boat, so he could only watch the cooked ducks fly away.

Although the battle was won, it was a victory full of regrets!

You must know that the ducks that flew away were not one or two, but tens of thousands, including the four flavors of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mengba Banners, the Han Eight Banners and the Green Battalion Soldiers, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment and war horses urgently needed by the Chu army, which was simply fat! If all these tens of thousands of ducks can be eaten, the Manchu Qing will no longer have a single mobile force in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Chu army can attack Wuchang to the west or Nanjing to the east, turning the entire battle in one fell swoop!

Navy! The construction of the water division must be accelerated!

The battle in the Jiangnan region is inseparable from the naval division, and the regret of the Battle of Nanchang must not happen again!

Tan Tai's big duck flew, and Wang Kefan was still mentally prepared. The Chu army does not have a water division, after all, it is an objective difficulty that cannot be overcome for the time being, and there is no point in complaining about the heavens and people...... But. Li Chengdong's little duck also slipped through his fingers, but it made him angry.

Li Chengdong is not one of those nameless cats and dogs in history, he looks inconspicuous now, but he may be a big trouble in the future, and this time he can calmly escape under heavy surrounding, you can see how difficult he is.

There is no doubt that Wang Kefan's command has made certain mistakes. At the very least, he misjudged the enemy's situation and sent the Jiangxi army, which had poor combat effectiveness, to deal with Li Chengdong. But as the direct parties, Wan Yuan Ji and Gan Jun bear greater responsibility. Moreover, there is also a suspicion of lying about war exploits, which must be investigated.

Stop-and-go, the next evening, Wang Kefan finally arrived at the Yuezhou camp station. and Tan Xiao and other departments.

Accompanied by Tan Xiao. Wang Kefan inspected the battlefield all night and comforted the wounded, with a very heavy heart. The Yuezhou battalion acted as a decoy in this battle and effectively covered Wang Sheng, but they themselves were almost disabled, and the number of officers and soldiers killed in the battalion was as high as 1,200, and there were many seriously wounded wounds with wound infections, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

Field hospitals did their best. Use various means of sterilization and disinfection to reduce the chance of wound infection. However, in this era, there were no antibiotics, and once a wound infection occurred, it was basically resigned to fate and relied on the wounded's own physique to resist.

Several barracks made of bamboo and oilcloth are enclosed in a two-entry courtyard of about 40 square meters, which is the temporary operating room of the field hospital. Outside the courtyard gate is sprinkled with quicklime to prevent insects and ants, and the inside is covered with freshly washed and steamed bandages, and the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine can't suppress the bloody smell, and there are more than a dozen wounded people in the courtyard who are waiting for surgery, and doctors and nurses in white robes are coming in and out, and the atmosphere is tense and busy.

Wang Kefan, Tan Xiao, plus a few personal guards, were immediately discovered by everyone after entering the small courtyard, the doctors and nurses stopped one after another, and the wounded also tried their best to stand up and salute Wang Kefan together, Wang Kefan smiled and saluted back, but Li Yushi, the captain of the personal soldiers, acted as a villain with a black face.

"Wang Junmen just came to see, what are they doing around? It's almost gone! Oh, who's going to call the head of the infirmary! ”

Li Yushi did this work that offended people, although his face was a little ugly, but it saved Wang Kefan a lot of trouble. The doctors and nurses saw Wang Kefan's face, and didn't bother with this little officer, and immediately ran into the backyard with two legs, and went to inform the director of the military medical hall, and everyone else returned to work.

It didn't take long for the director of the military medical hall to arrive in a hurry and accompany Wang Kefan to inspect.

Speaking of the problem of wound infection, the director of the hospital was very troubled: "In the past two days, the most wounded soldiers have had a fever, and more than half of them can't withstand it, and even if they do, they may recur in the next month, and then they will die for a lifetime, and according to previous experience, a total of three or four hundred people will die." ”

Nearly 2,000 wounded soldiers, and finally killed 3 or 400 people, this proportion is actually very low, under Wang Kefan's request, the Chu Military Hospital's sterilization and disinfection measures are almost harsh, and the probability of wound infection has been greatly reduced.

But for Wang Kefan, this number is still too high. With the addition of these three or four hundred people, the number of casualties in the Yuezhou battalion will exceed 1,500, which is equivalent to the exhaustion of a small battalion, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of pension silver, just these losses of so many veterans make people feel distressed.

"Is the trauma medicine enough?"

"Is the doctor enough?"

"Think about it again, if you lack something, go to the logistics department, and you must take care of the wounded soldiers with fever......"

Wang Kefan inquired about the situation, helped the field hospital solve several specific difficulties, and gave instructions to the principal, and then said: "Don't look at it carefully, you go and get busy, let's go." ”

This is the place where the surgery is performed, and the doctors and the wounded are racing against time, against death, and if you go in every room to have a look, it will disturb the doctor who is doing the surgery.

"Since the military gate is leaving, the humble duty should be sent out of the door."

"Don't engage in these false courtesies, you go, what to do, we'll go by ourselves."

After saying hello to the principal, Wang Kefan and his entourage walked out, because of their heavy mood, he and Tan Xiao were silent, and Li Yushi and other personal guards certainly couldn't speak. After arriving in the front yard, Wang Kefan suddenly said to Tan Xiao without a head: "The Yuezhou battalion fought a good battle, meritorious!" ”

As the saying goes, there is no merit, there is also hard work, and the Yuezhou battalion has paid such a big price, and the credit and hard work are all accounted for, of course, it must be affirmed, Wang Kefan intends to let the Yuezhou battalion have a big rest, replenish the new soldiers as much as possible, and restore the combat effectiveness.

"The last general is incompetent, let Tunbuer escape." Tan Xiao is very modest.

"It's not your fault...... Wang Kefan was a little surprised, Tan Xiao has always been a straight temper, when did he learn to say this kind of scene, it makes people feel very awkward.

"No, there's nothing wrong with that." Tan Xiao saw that Wang Kefan had misunderstood, waved his hand again and again, and gritted his teeth and said: "I just can't wait to catch Tun Bu'er, break his body into thousands of pieces with a knife, and avenge the brothers who died in the battle!" ”

The Yuezhou battalion is Tan Xiao's disciple soldiers, and more than 1,000 people were killed this time, of course, they have to be recorded in Tun Bu'er's account, so Tan Xiao is really blaming himself, not talking about the scene.

"Yuntai, this guy is still in Fengcheng County, can you send troops to beat him? Lin Yonggang happened to be idle......"

The Yuezhou battalion was not the whole army was heavily damaged, and there was also a unit stationed in Huangshagang, the main general, Lin Yonggang, with more than 1,000 troops.

"You can fight, but I'm afraid you can't." Wang Kefan thought for a while and said: "If there are fewer soldiers and horses sent, they will be counterattacked by the Tartars. ”

"Isn't there still a Dongguan camp? Let them go together, and I can gather more than 1,000 people to support. Tan Xiao was unwilling to leave it at that, and continued to attack Fengcheng County.

Continuing to attack Fengcheng County was not in Wang Kefan's plan.

The Qing army in Fengcheng County has withdrawn more than half, and the Qing army after the break is more flexible, the Chu army has been fighting continuously during this time, and the troops are very tired.

But under Tan Xiao's persuasion, Wang Kefan was a little moved.

Fight once, the morale of the Qing army is now lost, and it may not be able to grasp the weakness of the Chu army, the risk is actually not big, on the other hand, to create more pressure on the Qing army, there may be unexpected gains.

The map was engraved in their minds, and the two did not return to the Chinese military tent, but directly discussed the battle plan in the courtyard of the field hospital, and squatted on the spot when it came to the key points, and drew a simple map.

After repeated weighing, Wang Kefan decided to take a risk and sent Lin Yonggang and Zhang Jiayu to attack Fengcheng County, with the Ji'an battalion cooperating, and the other units of the Chu army moving closer to the bank of the Ganjiang River, replenishing supplies of grain and grass, and preparing to launch a second wave of offensives......

Li Yushi and a few of his own soldiers went to give orders, Tan Xiao returned to his barracks to prepare, but Wang Kefan stood in place, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he continued to refine the battle plan. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Wang Sheng, Jin Shenghuan, and the Chu army on the east bank of the Ganjiang River must cooperate...... Of course, if the Qing army ran fast, this battle might not be able to be fought, and the Chu army followed behind the buttocks, picking up some rags at most.

At this time, the door of a camp next to it suddenly opened from the inside, and Hua Xiaoyue walked out.

Hua Xiaoyue was still dressed as a man, but she was wearing a medical officer's white robe, but it was covered with blood, and she looked like she had just come down from the operating table.

During the war years, the need for surgeons increased rapidly, and Hua Xiaoyue no longer needed to pretend to be a ghost, she had been a medical officer in the field hospital for the past two years, and had become one of the few big names in the hospital. Her medical skills are exquisite, especially good at surgery, and she can save the lives of many officers and soldiers in every battle, so the doctors and wounded have great respect for her, and they have turned sideways to give way, nodding and smiling at her, but no one has spoken to say hello.

Everyone knows that Dr. Hua has always been low-key, or a little withdrawn, and doesn't like to talk to people. (To be continued......)
