Chapter 875: The New Account and the Old Account Are Counted Together
Just when the coalition forces were beaten to the point of being a little overwhelmed, Bazin's elite French troops arrived, and a sharp artillery fire saved Horton from the predicament of the attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, not knowing the reality of the other party, the current Bazin did not dare to be careless, and began to only restrain the troops, retreating more than ten miles to the north before defending on the spot.
The war between the two sides finally stopped, and the combat strength of the two sides was basically maintained in a delicate balance, and the current coalition army still has the upper hand in terms of strength, however, after a few days of fighting, it did not take the Lu army, but lost the army, which made the morale of the coalition army inevitably fall, and it was difficult to swallow the opponent in one bite!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to admit that our previous operational policy was wrong, in order to maintain balance, we broke up our respective teams and mixed formations, although we balanced the combat power of the three forces, but the degree of cooperation between us has greatly decreased, and the mixed coalition forces are too far away from the Lu army in terms of coordinated operations! In order to be able to ensure that we are playing to the best of our ability, we have to make adjustments! ”
Bazin said in a deep voice.
Horton's eyebrows raised, and he replied: "Of course, I also found such a drawback, which is too annoying, not because the soldiers do not work hard, but because of the language barrier, the inconsistency of the combat styles of the various armies, which makes it difficult for us to move forward, and there are many constraints, and we are unable to carry out the most powerful blow to the Lu army!" ”
Bazin and Houghton's opinion is unified, but the Spanish Army's Army Chief of Staff Sahavi disagrees, because the Spanish Army's strength is weak, although in several major wars, because it did not serve as the main force, the strength of the army is relatively intact, however, whether compared with the British Army, or compared with the French Army, Spain's road army combat power is indeed inferior, let the Spanish army be responsible for a direction, the current Sahavi is not so strong confidence, after all, the combat power of the Lu army is too strong, It's so strong that it's hard to face on your own!
"Two generals, I am also inclined to your opinion, but now that our Spanish Army only has two brigades and an artillery regiment, its strength is still lacking, and if there is a flaw, we will suffer a fatal blow! I need your support to unify your battle plan! ”
Sahavi said.
"General Sahavi, what are you worried about? You must know that the opponent's current strength is only two divisions, and the strength of one of the divisions has suffered a heavy blow, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, unless they mobilize all their troops to besiege you, otherwise they will not be able to defeat you for a while and a half, even if they really besiege you, after we divide our troops, we are only seven or eight kilometers away, and a surprise attack can rush to your vicinity to support you! Moreover, Spain will definitely not be in the direction of the main attack, what else do you have to worry about? ”
Bazin was dissatisfied, the Spaniards just picked up cheap, special, very slippery, if it wasn't for a strong enemy, he really didn't plan to take them to play!
Horton echoed: "General Sahavi, there is nothing in the world that is unearned, and how much it costs to achieve how much benefit can be achieved!" Do you think that the benefits of the Qing court are so easy to eat? Look at the losses of our British Empire, not much greater than yours? ”
Horton is right, the current British casualties have exceeded 10,000, there are only less than 20,000 troops, as for the French army, it is slightly stronger than the British army, and it only has a little more than 20,000 troops, and it has to stay in part of Tianjin, and defend Tianjin with the Japanese army from attack; As for the most unlucky Japanese army, there are now less than 4,000 of the 30,000 Japanese troops left who can fight, which is an absolutely devastating blow, and a large number of Japanese wounded soldiers die every day without treatment!
The four countries are almost better off than Spain, and everyone is naturally dissatisfied with them!
Seeing Bazin and Horton's request in unison, Sahavi had to nod and pinch his nose to admit it!
The Spanish army is in the east, the French army is in the middle, the British army is changed to the west, and the strength of the coalition army in Xueguantun is still more than 50,000 people.
At this time, the position of the Lu army, Gao Qi and Yan Chunyu also successfully joined the division, in order to repel the attack of the coalition army, to win a chance to breathe, the Lu army also paid a huge price, after three consecutive battles, the two cavalry regiments suffered one-third casualties, in the face of the coalition army's spears and artillery, the cavalry regiment was a little powerless.
"Boss Gao, haha, the dog said, Lao Tzu is finally not late, come over and let Lao Tzu see if there are any missing parts?"
Yan Chunyu laughed and rushed up, giving Gao Qi a fierce hug, the two of them are Guo Ye's second general, they have an irreversible relationship, and they are also the most fierce competitors, Chen Hai is not there, the two of them are the real bosses of Lu Jun.
"****** eggs! Your kid is missing parts, and Lao Tzu is still doing well! Lao Tzu is a lucky general, the lucky stars shine brightly, what can happen! Even if you don't come, Lao Tzu will be able to last another ten days and half a month! Oops, you dog said to give Lao Tzu a little lighter, it hurts! ”
Gao Qi was talking, and the cold Yan Chunyu punched him in the back, which happened to hit Gao Qi's wound, and the painful Gao Qi grinned and screamed in pain!
"Hahaha......"
Yan Chunyu laughed loudly, his face full of schadenfreude!
"Boss Gao, to tell you the truth, how about the casualties of the first division?"
Yan Chunyu's face turned straight and asked solemnly.
Gao Qi's face sank suddenly: "Damn, there are heavy casualties, the specific number has not come out now, but the number of brothers who have died should have exceeded 3,000, and the injured brothers have now exceeded 5,000, and the number of troops who can participate in the next big war is only afraid that there are less than 13,000 people, and our Lu army has never suffered such a big loss since it became an army!" ”
"Okay, Lao Tzu's second division is not much better, Weihaiwei battle, the third brigade suffered more than half of the casualties, the second brigade also lost a lot of losses, the entire second division, now there are less than 20,000 people, and there are two regiments of troops left to stay in Weihaiwei, this time I only brought over, 15,000 people, our strength is less than 30,000 people......"
Yan Chunyu smacked his lips and replied.
"******, if we don't avenge this revenge, we swear not to be human! What if there are many foreigners? None of them wanted to go back alive! Let's follow the big brother to fight the world, when have we lost? Just wait until the eldest brother comes back and fight back together! Calculate the old accounts together! (To be continued.) )
