Although the Wehrmacht was well-armed and equipped, but the Taiping Army was too numerous, and the battle was in a stalemate at the beginning, in a place called Liji Village, the Wehrmacht and the Taiping Army had a fight, the battle between the enemy and us was very fierce, and the casualties on both sides were very huge, Zhang Yuanzheng also had to admire the fighting spirit of the Taiping Army, and after the extremely powerful artillery fire of the Wehrmacht, the combat effectiveness could still be maintained.
The position was being repeatedly contested at any time, the battle was in a state of stalemate, and now the road conditions in various parts of China were not very good, the large-caliber artillery could not be transported, and the firepower could not be maximized, which made Zhang Yuanzheng extremely annoyed. The soldiers fought bravely on the position, the ammunition consumption of modern equipment was huge, the battle lasted for a day, the ammunition brought out by the Wehrmacht was huge, the logistics could not be delivered in time due to the terrain restrictions, the Wehrmacht had to temporarily stop the offensive, the two armies ushered in a short silence, and both sides were silently collecting the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers of all parties.
Zhang Yuanzheng and several officers went to the position to check the situation of the soldiers, some soldiers gathered in groups, laughed with each other, walked to the wounded soldiers, the soldier's entire arm was cut off, and now because he could not get good treatment, the condition has further deteriorated, Zhang Yuanzheng looked at the wounded soldiers, a trace of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, Zhang Yuanzheng asked: "How many wounded soldiers do we have now." ”
The director in charge of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield came out and replied: "Commander, we have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in one day today, and our field troops do not have enough doctors with the army, and many soldiers cannot be treated in time after they are injured. The wounded soldier director wept as he spoke.
Zhang Yuanzheng listened to the description of the wounded soldiers, and was very sad in his heart: "Immediately transport all the wounded soldiers back to Guangzhou, do everything possible to save the lives of the soldiers, and immediately send a letter back, asking Huaifang to immediately prepare for the establishment of the Guangzhou Military Medical College, recruit cadets, train more doctors, and prepare for the construction of a hospital. This situation must not arise in the future, and soldiers who are disabled in battle enjoy the welfare benefits provided by the government, and the government will uniformly resettle them. “
The battle lasted for several days, the large artillery that had not been transported for a long time was also transported, the ammunition of the various armies was also replenished, the moment of the decisive battle had come, Zhang Yuanzheng ordered a comprehensive attack on the enemy, the large artillery of the artillery regiment had just been put into battle, the enemy was blinded, the huge wave of artillery shells tore the corpses of the enemy soldiers, for a time the flesh and blood flew sideways, the enemy instantly fell into panic, after a cannon fire, the Wehrmacht soldiers began to charge, the two armies were close to each other, a Wehrmacht soldier rushed hard, The bayonet stabbed into the body of the enemy on the opposite side, drew the bayonet and rushed forward.
The enemy began to rout, and the Wehrmacht took advantage of the situation to pursue, and finally let the enemy flee 100,000 people, and 100,000 enemy troops were either annihilated or captured by the Wehrmacht, because the battle line had been stretched too long, the logistics were not even better, and the casualties of the soldiers were also very large, Zhang Yuanzheng had to temporarily order to stop the attack.
