Chapter 1201 - Closing the Net
When the battle ended, the brigade commander immediately asked the soldiers to clear the battlefield.
After some counting, the brigade commander sent all the wounded under his command for treatment, and then let the soldiers deal with the soldiers of various countries on the battlefield. Although the battle is over, many soldiers from all countries who fell to the ground were wounded and did not die. The brigade commander took some of the soldiers who were still alive and asked the English-speaking generals under his command to inquire about the situation of the coalition forces.
After several determinations, the brigade commander learned that the leader was Lieutenant General James, and there was no commander of the coalition forces of various countries. Moreover, the surviving soldiers of various countries did not have high positions and did not know the strategy of attacking the west.
After the brigade commander found out the general information, he asked the soldiers to deal with all the coalition soldiers, shot them one by one, and then piled up all the corpses, poured oil and spirits, and lit a fire. The fire took advantage of the wind, and it didn't take long, and all the coalition soldiers burned into a sea of fire. The brigade commander withdrew his troops and continued to be stationed in the same place, so as not to slip through the net.
……
At night, the moonlight is soft and the stars are dazzling.
In Minle Town, Yang Banhou's command post is brightly lit. A soldier stood in front of Yang Banhou and told Yang Banhou all the news about the battlefield in the east. After winning the first battle, Yang Banhou was happy, but his expression was solemn.
A brigade commander killed thousands, which is not a small amount.
However, Yang Banhou thought about it, and when he was young, he might have taken the same measures. Yang Banhou looked at the private soldier who was delivering the message and ordered: "Tell the commander of the first brigade that as long as the location of the main force of the coalition army is not determined, he cannot withdraw for the time being, and is still stationed in the east of Minle Town, so as not to break through from the east if any fish slip through the net." ”
"Yes!"
"I also conveyed to the brigade commander on my behalf that this battle completely annihilated the soldiers of all countries who broke through from the east, and did a good job. However, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, not be impetuous, and not be ......."
"Report!"
Just as Yang Banhou was speaking, the commander of the reconnaissance company hurriedly ran in.
Yang Banhou asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The company commander raised his hand and saluted, and immediately replied: "Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance battalion has detected the movement of the main force of the foreigners." At present, the major commanders of the foreigners are leading the main force westward, and there has been a battle with the 2nd Brigade stationed in the west of Minle Town. ”
"Hahaha......"
Yang Banhou laughed loudly, and combined with the situation in the east, he understood the strategies of the armies of various countries.
Give the dummy!
Obviously, this is a ploy to attack the west.
The fuse of this strategy is the east, once the war in the east starts, especially if the first brigade in the east cannot hold the east front, the soldiers under the command of Yang Banhou may gather to the east to support. At that time, the coalition led by Adams suddenly launched an attack in the west, and broke through from the west, and the resistance was very small.
It's a pity that Adams didn't expect the army led by James to be wiped out, this is Adams's biggest failure, but he didn't expect that the plan had not been implemented, and the army had been wiped out.
In fact, it was Adams who had suffered a defeat on the eastern battlefield and knew that the strategy of attacking the east and the west had failed, so he decided to launch an attack overnight, wanting to break through as soon as possible.
Yang Banhou's heart became excited, because the moment of the decisive battle had come, and he commanded loudly: "Send an order to the commander of the first brigade, ordering him to lead his troops to the west of Minle Town, narrow the encirclement, and take down the coalition forces of various countries." ”
Now, it's time to close the net.
"Yes!"
The company commander saluted, turned and ran away.
Yang Banhou immediately took out a blank piece of paper, wrote down the situation of the battle with a brush, and wrote out the news that the commanders of various countries appeared in the west of Minle Town, and prepared to send it to Li Zhen.
"Guard!"
"Here!"
Yang Banhou picked up the letter, handed it to the guard, and ordered: "Send it to Jardine's Hill and hand it over to the president." ”
"Yes!"
After the guard put the letter away, he turned to leave.
……
West of Minle Town!
At night, there were countless soldiers charging back and forth on the road. The sound of gunfire, cannons, and shouts of killing continued.
The silence of the night is long gone.
Adams, Rawell and others led the main force and were storming the defensive line formed by the 2nd Brigade. The place where the 2nd Brigade was stationed was also particular, and a place with sparse woods on both sides of the road was chosen. In the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, as well as at the front of the road, there were soldiers of the 2nd Brigade in ambush. Moreover, the fortifications on both sides of the road were not facing each other head-on, but were staggered by a distance.
On the position constructed in front of the road, machine guns were erected, spraying dazzling fire snakes, and dense bullets were fired, dealing the most violent blows to the attacking soldiers of various countries.
Adams ordered his men to attack, and a steady stream of troops rushed forward, but no breakthrough was made. In particular, the tanks of various countries have been destroyed, and there is no best weapon for breaking through.
The commander of the second brigade stood in the command post, taking advantage of the firelight, to observe the situation on the battlefield.
He stared at the coalition of nations that had attacked, and at the fortifications he had arranged. In the far left of the forest is a regiment, thirty meters behind is a second regiment in the right woods, and in the rear of the road is a third regiment.
The second brigade commander grinned and ordered: "Send an order to Ma Chengfeng, the commander of the second regiment, to launch an attack and isolate the foreign soldiers from the second regiment commander to the third regiment commander." Then he ordered Zhao Yunlong, the commander of the first regiment, to lead the soldiers to attack, isolate the foreign troops between the second and third regiments, and break the coalition forces of various countries one by one. ”
"Yes!"
The guards immediately went to give the order, and soon, the news was delivered.
"Toot! Honk! Honk!!! ”
The sound of a loud horn sounded under the night sky, and two regiments and one regiment on both sides of the road came out. Two new armies rushed out and quickly divided the allied armies of the countries into several sections. Previously, the coalition army was like a long dragon winding on the road, but the second regiment and the first regiment came out, immediately cut off the coalition army, and began to vigorously annihilate the British army rushing to the front.
The killing in the night became more and more tragic.
Countless soldiers, fell to the ground.
The divided coalition soldiers lost their support and were quickly resolved. The second regiment commander and the first regiment commander led the troops to continue to advance, threatening Adams, Rawell and others in the rear of the army.
……
Jardine's Mountain, where Qi Zhenhai's army is stationed. The injuries on Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng have been treated, and there is no major problem, and all three of them have sunk back. The three of them were stationed at Jardine's Mountain, exhausted, and could no longer support them after lying down.
In the command post, a soldier stood in front of Li Zhen.
This soldier was the soldier sent by Yang Banhou to report the news, and after listening to it, Li Zhen ordered: "Since the location of Adams, Rawell and others has been determined, let Yang Banhou launch a general attack, narrow the circle, and collect the net to take down the foreigners." ”
The soldiers turned to leave, and Li Zhen called Huang Qiang and the accompanying regiment commander again.
Li Zhen instructed: "The armies of various countries have formulated a strategy to attack the east and attack the west, but the army heading to the east has been wiped out. At the moment, the main forces appear in the west. The Sharp Knife Battalion and a regiment of troops set out for the west of Minle Town to surround the armies of various countries. ”
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Huang Qiang and the regiment commander responded at the same time, and the two turned around to carry out the order.
