Chapter 18: Miracles!
Miracle - Battle of Vaham-Lumslar
The wild history of the Tasman Empire truly exposes the historical facts that the remnants of the war have repeatedly tried to cover up, and the founders of Assenstein have also had helplessness and sorrow under the glory of the light. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The real battle situation of history played the triumphant song of the former deceased, the ancient Tasman Empire, the once powerful imperial army, is still creating a brilliant victory when it is about to perish. Did you know that the victory trumpets of the Imperial armies have been echoing on the battlefield for millennia. On the occasion of the death of the country, the horn of victory sounded again, the second part of the victory series of the dead "Miracle".
96 of the B century, the year of the fall of the Tasman Empire. The Tasman Empire, a huge country built by the people of the empire who were born into a barbarian race, fought again and again, and was once the third most powerful country in the world, it was once so powerful and glorious. The people who founded this country were warlike and valiant in battle, and even at the moment of the fall of the empire, they fought actively, and won many major victories, enough to shine in the annals of history, but these victories that should have been brilliant in the annals of history were covered up as much as possible by the final victors, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see their traces, and only in the internal books of the army that recorded the true history, the victories of these fallen countries still existed almost real.
This article is the result of the compilation and collation of confidential military materials left by both sides in the Tasman Empire's War and the Yasenstan War, which can ensure 100% historical authenticity, but these are definitely not the histories told by historical authorities, and they will never be open to the public. (Public history is not necessarily true history.) Students, you must be clear that what is in history textbooks is not necessarily real history, but more propaganda and education. )
The Battle of Waham-Samlar, as the rebels called, did not have any armed rebels in this battle to Samlar, but the heartland of the rebels was taken by the Imperial Army. The Empire called this battle the Battle of Waham-Lumslar, and the second name was more scientific.
The Battle of Vaham Samlar is a famous classic battle of General Vorqab in the Republic of Asenstan in the last years of the Tasman Empire. (Ral: Tasman, city without walls, can also refer to a large fixed bazaar)
In this battle, the Tasman Empire army used the ancient oriental art of war to encircle Wei and save Zhao, attack Samlar, and relieve the siege of Waham. The battle was also the biggest defeat of the Defense Forces of the Republic of Assenstan in the war for the founding of the country, and it was one of the practical courses of modern warfare in military academies of various countries in the early C century.
The basic information of the campaign is as follows:
Campaign initiator
The Asenstan region was originally part of the rebel army of the Tasman Empire
Purpose of the campaign
Adopt the mode of urban siege and encirclement to destroy as many living forces as possible of the enemy's two heavy army groups of Sagarkhand and Vorqab.
Campaign time
21 June B96 to 22 July B96.
The main place of battle
Vaham region and Lumslar region in western Yasenstan.
Campaign results
The rebel side that launched the campaign was completely defeated. The losses of the rebel army themselves exceeded 100,000 (permanent losses), and the actual losses were definitely more than 150,000, close to or even more than 200,000. Some military historians have reported that the losses of the rebel army in this battle amounted to 250,000 men. In addition to a large number of casualties, the rebel side also lost a number of important places. (After the war, most of the points were voluntarily withdrawn after the Imperial Army achieved its goal of occupation, and the rebel army successfully "recaptured")
After the war, the Tasman Empire reported its losses, saying that the various units involved in the battle suffered a total of 45,000 casualties and more than 26,000 killed.
Campaign significance
In the crucial battle of the Yasenstan War of Independence, the rebels suffered extremely heavy losses but did not achieve corresponding results. At the end of the battle, the Imperial Army's surprise counterattack, which even our army applauded, completely defeated the rebels. In the last two days of the battle, the rebels were completely fleeing, while the Tasman Empire was following in pursuit. The chaotic battlefield situation resulted in an incalculable number of casualties among the rebel officers and soldiers, and many high-ranking generals of the rebel army died in the battle. The huge losses caused by this battle crumbled the entire front of the rebel army.
A brief introduction to the specific battle of Vaham-Lumslar (Battle of Waham-Samlar).
Vaham was the main iron ore producing area of the Tasman Empire, and there was also local coal production nearby, which was the main transportation point of the empire to East Asia, and it was also the only way to enter the seaport from the South Asiansistan region to the north.
This place has always been a battleground for soldiers, and Vaham was controlled by the Tasman Army's Sagarkhand Heavy Army, which became a choke point between the two rebel-controlled areas of northern and southern Asiansenstan, and was also an important link in the chain of the Imperial Army's division of the northern and southern rebel armies. Admiral Zacharhan of the Imperial Army was ordered to defend the deadly point of Vaham and the surrounding area with the main force of his corps.
The rebels could take Waham and make the two rebel-controlled areas together, the northern army could get the abundant troops of the southern army, and the southern rebel army of Yasenstan, which lacked heavy artillery, could get foreign aid weapons from the northern army from the United Empire of St. Roman, so the rebels in these two areas decided to attack Vaham.
In mid-June 96 of the B century, the generals of the rebel armies in these two regions formed the General Command of the Battle of Vaham, with Manil Jackson, commander of the northern rebel army in Assenstan, as the commander-in-chief, and Zach Royd, chief of staff of the southern rebel army, as deputy commander and chief of staff.
The campaign headquarters mobilized nearly one-third of the troops in the two control areas and mobilized eight armies, all of which were the main forces, with a total strength of more than 400,000 troops. This kind of large-scale army operation was a battle of unprecedented scale since the beginning of a full-scale uprising of the Imperial alien army and the outbreak of a large-scale civil war with the Imperial army.
The main force of the rebel army in the north of Yasenstan, all the troops under the jurisdiction of the First Army of the Republic of Asenstenstan, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th armies, a total of 5 armies, participated in the battle, and the main force of the Southern Military District all participated in the battle, three armies and a number of independent divisions. Command planned to launch the siege of Vaham on June 21, B96.
(The specific deployment of troops is still listed as internal information, and it is difficult to publish.) The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan; The wisdom of the foolish people is better than the elite soldiers. If the common people are all proficient in military affairs, can skillfully use weapons, and can set up troops, the people at the top of the tower feel at least dangerous, and any ruler will say: "The government army of Jiading can't play the civil rebellion of the Free Army, I am in danger, hurry up and change the gold and leave")
The scale of the forthcoming battle of Vaham-Samlar was unprecedented, and so was the determination of the rebels, which had never been greater, and the strategic purpose was clearly communicated to every company. The strategic objectives of this campaign are: 1. To destroy as many living forces as possible of the Sagarkhand and Vorqab heavy armies; 2. Capture the city of Vaham as a base for advancement. Remove all obstacles to advance into the Tasman Empire's own areas and prepare for the final and complete liberation of the nation.
Part of the enemy's (Tasman Army) participating units
The defenders of Vaham were the Tasman Army's 11th Army (Infantry), which had been strengthened to far outsize the two normal infantry corps (the rebels were not aware of this at the time).
Around Waham, there are the 15th and 16th Cavalry Divisions (reinforced independent divisions) of the Imperial Army's own troops, the training and guidance corps of the Regional Recruit Training Command, and two new 120mm field artillery battalions (these guns were purchased from the international arms market, and the Sajia family will also go there to set up a stall in a few years, hoping that everyone will buy my arms at that time. ), a separate engineer regiment.
These troops, including the 11th Army, numbered more than 215,000 men and were commanded by the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, Zagarhan, whose headquarters was in the Samlar region.
The rebel army believed that the structure of the enemy troops in this area was chaotic and unified, and that the composition was complex, with a maximum of 100,000 troops belonging to six corps or vice-corps-level units, and most of the units had low combat effectiveness, and the 11th Infantry Corps was a mixed unit of its own nationality and foreign nationalities, and the combat effectiveness of foreign soldiers would never be too strong. However, the actual situation is that Lieutenant General Rumgeiru, who is the commander of the army, treats officers and men equally, and the so-called racial problem basically does not exist in the army.
There is also an important situation that the rebels have ignored or have not paid enough attention to. The city of Waham has two fortified walls, both of which are brick and stone structures, extremely strong, the city is in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and the outer fortifications are more than a kilometer deep.
At this time, the rebel army had been spoiled by the goddess of victory, and had become seriously inferior to the enemy strategically and tactically, believing that even if the enemy army had strong fortifications as a defensive support, it was certain that it would be able to attack with absolute superiority.
For the reinforcement of the city of Vaham by the Tasman Imperial Army, the front command of the rebel army has long made full preparations in advance.
The southern rebel army sent the most combat-ready 1st Army of Asenstan to defend Mount Samalto (located on the enemy's northward reinforcement route), the 3rd Army of southern Asenstan drew a cavalry division to defend the wasteland southeast of Samlar, and the two main infantry divisions of the 3rd Army to defend the ancient city wall defense line northeast of Samlar.
In addition, a reinforcement corps was organized, with the 2nd Southern Army as the main force, under the command of the commander of the 2nd Southern Army in Yasenstan, Kamarres.
The rebel army launched an offensive on June 21, 96 B century, first attacking the outer positions of Waham, after more than 20 days of fierce peripheral battles, by July 13, B96, the rebel army had occupied all the important strongholds on the periphery and the eastern acropolis of Waham City, eliminating more than 19,000 enemies (more than 20,000 people), and the vanguard of the attacking force had approached the main city of Waham. Seeing that Vaham was in danger, Lieutenant General Rum Geru, commander of the 11th Army, repeatedly appealed to General Sagarhan and asked his superiors to send reinforcements. But at this time, Admiral Zacharhan did not have many troops in his hands, and his main troops were in Vaham. Moreover, the main road from Samlar to Vaham had been cut off by the rebel army, and it was impossible to send troops, so they had to ask for help from the Imperial Army General Headquarters in the imperial capital. At this time, the empire was already in a war, and almost all the troops were trapped in all the battlefields of the country, and there was no reinforcement at all.
The only mobile force at that time was the mobile force of Lieutenant General Vorqab in the northern part of the area, and Lieutenant General Vorqab could have taken a wait-and-see attitude towards Waham, which was not under his jurisdiction.
The army commanded by Lieutenant General Woerqab can be regarded as an elite in the Tasman Empire, not afraid of hardship, good at night fighting, daring to fight in close combat, and good at hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, this army has never suffered major losses in the battle, and its combat effectiveness has been maintained very well. Under the command of Lieutenant General Woerqab, this heavy army group had four regular armies, totaling 200,000 men, and a large number of trained supplementary troops, including the elite 7th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army.
After receiving the order from his superiors, Lieutenant General Woerchabu knew that this was a vicious battle, and immediately called a meeting of his subordinate generals and generals, and the principal officers of each army and all officers at and above the division level went to the corps headquarters to attend a secret military meeting.
These officers arrived at the headquarters and held a secret military meeting for three days and three nights. Lieutenant General Woerchabu gave repeated speeches, explaining the military essentials of the campaign, and the principal officers discussed the tactics. In order to win this decisive battle, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, Lieutenant General Vorqab's troops also used a new code, which also made it impossible for the rebel troops, who originally belonged to the same imperial army system, to grasp their movements by breaking the code in a short time.
Subsequently, on 15 July, Lieutenant General Woerqab's troops attacked. The troops were divided into three routes, the first attacking Samlar from the north, and the second leaving the original garrison area and advancing towards Vaham, both of which were feints. Only the third force sent was the implementation of the real campaign intent. Two days after the departure of the first two forces, the Third Route was dispatched to attack the rebel logistical stronghold of Makaral, about 115 kilometres northeast of Waham.
Among the three people, the third road is real, and the two wings are empty, only suspicious soldiers. Taking Makaral, the siege of Samlar will inevitably cause the rebel army of Vaham to divide its troops to the north. As long as the ministry defeats the reinforcements of our army, Vaham's predicament will naturally be alleviated.
Even now, this is still a very clever campaign tactic. According to general military common sense, the main city of Vaham is in danger, and emergency rescue is like fighting fire, and the rescue force should go straight to the east and west acropolis of Waham City along the highway to relieve the siege of the main city of Waham.
Why go deep into the rebel-controlled area to attack Makaral, why not take the road to attack the east and west acropolis of Vaham. In the area around Vaham City, the rebel army has already taken precautions and put their pockets in their pockets, but it is no longer effective, and it is time-consuming and laborious, with heavy casualties, and it may backfire in the end.
Militarily speaking, with absolutely weak forces to attack a strong enemy preset in advance, it is difficult to lose even oneself, at that time, the rebel army's mobile reinforcement corps of more than three corps has been concentrated in the area around Waham, if the main force of the imperial army reinforcements really attack along the road, it is in the hands of the rebel army campaign headquarters. At that time, the Vaham attacking force can also draw 5-6 divisions to surround and annihilate the enemy army.
Lieutenant General Woerqab chose to attack Makaral, but he was taken by surprise and unprepared, killing two birds with one stone, capturing Makaral, and to the southeast he could attack the empty hinterland of the rebel army, outflanking the elite main force of the rebel army attacking Vaham from the rear, posing a great threat to the rebel army's Waham attacking force.
In addition, the capture of Makaral can send troops to the east of Lumslar, and the headquarters of the Northern Rebel Army is on the outskirts of the main city of Lumslar. If the rebels surrounding Vaham do not come to their rescue, the headquarters will be in danger.
Therefore, attacking Makaral is a must-save for attacking the enemy, and it is really a high-level move, and it is also the only miraculous move to use weak forces to relieve the siege of friendly troops and win the battle. This tactical action is the most successful example of the use of military tactics in modern warfare to encircle Wei and save Zhao Gu.
The timing of the dispatch of the Woerqab troops was just right, and they chose to suddenly advance eastward and storm Makaral at a time when the main forces of the Waham rebel army were using all their strength to clear the key points around the city of Waham and were concentrating on attacking the defense line of the main city. This caused great difficulties for the main forces of the rebel army to turn sharply and deal with Woerqab.
At 0:30 a.m. on July 18, 96 B, Lieutenant General Woerchabu sent the main force of the Seventh Cavalry Army to attack Makaral lightly......
Three hours earlier, at 21:30 on July 17, a separate cavalry division had already set off as the first troops.
The 7th Cavalry Corps made a rapid advance towards Makarral and reached there at dawn the next day. The battle there has already begun.
At that time, there was only one regiment of the rebel army guarding Makaral. A battle without suspense.
By dawn on 18 July, the defenders were able to hold themselves with automatic weapons, but with the arrival of the 7th Cavalry, the defenders collapsed.
The defensive battle of the defenders lasted only three hours.
The front command did not expect Makaral to fall so quickly. One division of reinforcements sent was on the way, the other had not yet set off.
The Tasman Seventh Cavalry Corps and the Independent Cavalry Division, which captured Makarral, made a fortune, and a large number of automatic weapons and heavy artillery from the United Saint Roman Army to aid the rebels fell into the hands of the Tasman Empire Army. The Woerqab troops actually boldly sent two cavalry divisions to gallop here in broad daylight to receive reloading equipment.
For the rebels, the situation began to turn extremely unfavorable, and the logistical point of Makaral had been lost, and a large amount of supplies and weapons had been lost. The rebel generals judged that after the Imperial army occupied Makaral, there might be three possible movements. One, staying in the Makaral area, it is obviously unlikely, this enemy army is well armed. Second, advance to the city of Waham and rescue friendly forces that have been surrounded for nearly a month. Third, and the least desirable thing to happen, to assault the rebel army in depth and attack Lumslar, where the headquarters of the Northern Rebel Army is located.
However, the last thing the rebel generals wanted, the Imperial army's attack on Lumslar, happened on the same day.
On the night of July 18, B96, the Tasman Seventh Cavalry Corps took advantage of the darkness to advance towards Lumslar. At dawn on the 19th, the main forces of the 7th Cavalry Army reached the southwest area of Lumslar and assembled covertly.
Due to the emptiness of the rear of the rebel army, on the morning of the 19th, the campaign headquarters learned that the enemy had actually advanced eastward to the vicinity of Lumslar, where there were more supplies than Makaral, and the main force had to be turned to Lumslal. The headquarters of the rebel army made a bold decision - the enemy surrounded Wei to save Zhao, the rebel army carried out a counter-encirclement with a-for-tat encirclement method, and all the main forces reinforced Lumslar.
On the morning of the 20th, the main armies of the Northern Insurgent Army rushed to Lumslar one after another, with a total of 4 corps (1st-4th armies), which had formed an absolute superiority in the strength of the enemy forces outside the defensive circle of Lumslal. Only one corps (the 5th Army) was left under the city of Vaham as an auxiliary force, and the task of besieging Vaham was changed to the southern forces of Yasenstan, that is, the original reinforcements.
This can be described as a great opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy's reinforcements, and a crucial opportunity to achieve victory in the battle, as long as the outer rebel army attacks on all fronts, and the surrounded defenders of Lumslar should be united inside and outside, the enemy of this cavalry army will not be able to escape. In order to completely annihilate this enemy army, part of the 2nd Army of the Northern Rebel Army, which was the first to arrive, began to attack the 7th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army at 15 pm on July 19, B96, but with little success and heavy losses. The total strength of the rebel reinforcements arriving at that time was not even half that of the besieging enemy, and the Imperial army had already stormed the town. The defenders here are desperately resisting, and the Imperial Army thinks that there are important people who have not left, so they do not want to retreat at all.
On the morning of 20 July, the 7th Cavalry Corps found that they could not go if they wanted to, and they were surrounded by 4 corps that had arrived from the city of Waham.
In the morning of the same day, a battle of annihilation of the Seventh Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army began. At this time, the turning point of the battle came, and at noon on this day, the commander of the Battle Command of the Warham, Admiral Manil Jackson, made a second mistake, and a fatal mistake that led to the total defeat of the campaign.
It turned out that an independent cavalry division of the Imperial Army in Makaral came to the aid fiercely and fiercely swept away the rebel army's baggage logistics units on the morning of July 20. This was a direct blow to the determination of the commander of the Northern Insurgent Army, Admiral Manil Jackson, who was a key figure in a key position at a critical moment to make the wrong decision to stop the encirclement and annihilation of the Imperial Army in the Lumslar area.
The encounter of the Seventh Cavalry Army can be described as dangerous, it was originally a plot of Wu Song fighting the tiger, but it was interpreted as a tiger returning to the mountain. The commander-in-chief, the general, drew most of the main force and marched westward, intending to first annihilate the reinforcement independent cavalry division (at that time, it was mistakenly thought that the division was an army, but in fact it was a reinforced division, and several captured heavy artillery pieces were used, which was misjudged to be a corps-level unit).
At this time, the battle headquarters of Lumslar left only one corps of dissatisfied personnel and about one division of the original defenders in the city. These rebel units did not have a great advantage in street fighting with the 7th Cavalry Corps, which had been equipped with automatic weapons and reinforced artillery.
On the 20th, the rebel army, which could have completely annihilated the Seventh Cavalry Corps of the Tasman Imperial Army, failed to inflict annihilating blows on the enemy in both battlefields.
In the evening of the same day, the Imperial Army came to the aid of the Independent Cavalry Division, successfully avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, and rushed to the flank of the Lumslar rebel army, and then launched an attack. This corps suffered heavy losses from both sides of the Imperial army, and the artillery units deployed behind the positions were almost annihilated, and their artillery became the ace firepower of the Imperial army, and the artillery of the 7th Cavalry Corps also joined the shelling. Shells constantly exploded on the positions of the rebels. The artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army caused heavy losses to the army, and the main officers and men of the army were newly recruited soldiers and newly promoted officers, and it was almost impossible to continue fighting without artillery. At about 20 o'clock that night, the troops of this corps withdrew from the battle while it was dark.
Next to be attacked were the defenders of Lumslar. At about 21 o'clock that night, the enemy's Seventh Cavalry Corps cooperated with the independent division to attack on both sides, and the attack became more fierce, and concentrated artillery fire to attack the defenders' main position, while the Seventh Army carried out a roundabout attack with the strength of a regiment and destroyed the defenders' artillery positions. At around 10 p.m., most of the positions in the city were lost, and in the early hours of the next morning, the remnants of the defenders, who were less than 2,000 men, withdrew.
On the morning of 21 July, the main forces of the rebel army, which had returned to Lumslar, attacked three times under heavy fire from the Imperial army, failed three times, and abandoned their intention to retake this important place. At this point, the fighting in the Lumslar area ended in the complete defeat of the rebel army. A large amount of supplies and weapons sent by the United Empire of St. Romain to the aid of the rebels fell into the hands of the Tasman Empire.
After the war, Lieutenant General Vorqab of the Imperial Army claimed in the Imperial Newspaper that the rebel army had seized enough supplies and equipment from the Ministry at Lumslar and Makaral to arm another Vorqab heavy army group, more than it had bought from the international market in June. The rebels refuted and rebuked the Tasman Lieutenant General for bragging.
Our army (United Imperial Army of San Roman) has repeatedly inspected the material accounts and counted that there are at least 136,200 rifles and 70 million to 84 million rounds of ammunition in these two areas; 14,300 submachine guns with 42 million rounds of ammunition - 70 million rounds, 1,600 light machine guns with 15.8 million rounds of ammunition. These light weapons alone can arm an army of 160,000 people, as well as 16 150mm heavy howitzers, 54 old 105mm combat stock howitzers, more than 100 mortars of various calibers, and up to 120,000 rounds of various shells. From this, it can be seen that Lieutenant General Woerchabu of the Imperial Army is right. Later, in the war of annihilation of the rebel army in South Asianstein, the Imperial Army used these weapons in large quantities. The pig-like teammates in the rebel ranks are more hateful than the Tasmans. These stupid pigs can make our army, which is known as the victorious army, so unbearable to become the captain of the Tasman Imperial Army.
On the morning of July 20, B96, the siege of Waham began.
The rebels' front-line forces engaged fiercely with the counterattacking enemy in the area around the East Acropolis, and the Tasman Empire used artillery that had been hidden for a long time. Two separate artillery battalions entered the battle for the first time in this counterattack, using 36 120-mm howitzers bought on the international market, and constantly bombarded the rebel positions and surrounding valuable targets with intensive artillery fire. 36 120mm howitzers were nothing to the Northern Army at that time, but for the Southern Rebel Army, which lacked heavy artillery, it was deadly heavy firepower. It can be said that these heavy artillery pieces determined the outcome of the battle and played a crucial role in the success of the Imperial Army's counterattack.
In the fierce battle under the city of Waham that day, each 120mm howitzer fired an average of more than 300 shells, and the six guns of the company with the highest firing frequency were all damaged, and according to the company commander, each gun fired more than 500 rounds. By the afternoon, the stock of shells for these cannons had been almost completely exhausted.
On this day, more than 10,000 shells fired by these 120 howitzers caused great casualties to the rebels, and more than a dozen shells were of great historical significance. These dozen or so salvo fires from an unknown artillery battalion fell impartially at the newly established headquarters of the siege troops. At that time, almost all the senior generals of the rebel army of the siege force were in a meeting, and Zach Royd, chief of staff of the southern rebel army, as deputy commander, and others were all killed. These dozen or so shells directly exploded into the political pattern of Yasenstein after the war, forming a situation in which the officer system of the Northern Army was in charge.
Only one of the corps commanders of the Southern Army survived, and the commander of the 2nd Army in the south of Yasenstan, Kamarres, escaped due to a vehicle breakdown that did not make it to the meeting on time. The only remaining corps commander made a mistake in his judgment, believing that this was the arrival of a large army of Woerqab and that the besieging troops were in danger of being exposed to the enemy, so he ordered all the troops to retreat immediately. This retreat lost all the occupied areas in this battle, and the enemy took the opportunity to catch up......
The location of the headquarters of the Northern Insurgent Army, Lumslar, was lost, and the siege and reinforcements on the periphery of Lumslar failed, and the Battle of Lumslar was declared a failure.
Enemy reinforcements recklessly reinforced Vaham, and Vaham could not attack again, and the rebel siege troops were likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. On the night of 20 July, the rebels hastily withdrew from the siege of Vaham. Throughout July 21, the retreating rebel units were chased and beaten by the Imperial cavalry. It was not until they encountered the rebels' newly formed tank units (referring to the tank units of the United Imperial Army of San Romain) that the Imperial cavalry gave up the pursuit.
The battle of Vahamlumslar lasted for a month, and the main forces of the rebel army were put into the battlefield in large numbers, dealing a certain blow to the imperial army, destroying 22,000 enemies, but due to the commander's repeated miscommands, the battle finally failed.
In this battle, Lieutenant General Woerqab of the Tasman Empire attacked Lumslar with weak forces, and the tactics of relieving Wei from the siege of Waham and rescuing Zhao achieved the goal. A successful military gamble, won.
The actual casualties in the battle of Vahamsamlar have been kept secret on the part of the rebels, and there is no historical mention of this figure in the country after the war. According to the study of historical data, the rebel army lost no less than 150,000 people in this battle.
The rebels reportedly suffered no less than 40,000 casualties in field battles on the outskirts of the Waham area and in heavy street battles in surrounding towns.
During the retreat of this battle, the rebels discarded at least 30,000 corpses, and this is only the corpses that can be seen.
"The retreat of the rebels turned into a complete rout because of the valiant pursuit of our troops. Fearing the pursuit of the great Imperial cavalry, the rebel officers and soldiers ran desperately, and all the departments fell into confusion, and the unformed troops could not organize resistance, so they could only continue to flee, scrambling to escape. Along the way, there were constantly rebels who died of exhaustion and died on the side of the road. The woundless corpses we saw in pursuit continued along the way, and the number was several times greater than the number of those we had killed. "-- A general of the Tasman Empire
In this battle (battle), Lieutenant General Woerqab, commander of the mobile heavy force group of the Tasman Imperial Army, Vorqab, can be said to be out of the limelight in the battle of Lumslar. Lieutenant General Rumgairu, commander of the 11th Army defending the city, counterattacked under the city of Waham, defeated and pursued the rebels, and became famous for the battle.
Manil Jackson, commander of the Insurgent Army in the north of Assenstein, was removed from his post after the war; Zach Royd, deputy commander and chief of staff of the campaign command and chief of staff of the southern rebel army in Yasenstan, was killed; The commander of the 2nd Army in the south of Yasenstein, Kamarreis, was shot as a scapegoat.
Summary of history, significance of the battle:
The Battle of Samlar was a pivotal battle in the western region of Yassen that year. The repercussions of the complete defeat of this campaign are extremely significant and far-reaching.
The military adviser of our army said: The battle of Vaham-Samlar that year was a complete defeat! Moreover, it was also a major defeat with strategic influence, and the biggest loss of this defeat was not the loss of Lumslar, a key material station, and a large number of weapons and materials were captured by the enemy; Nor is it a massive loss of up to six figures in the living forces of the rebel armies. The huge losses caused by this battle put the northern rebel army in a passive position for a month and a half in the subsequent battles against the enemy on the Eastern Front due to insufficient troops and lack of equipment. This month-and-a-half-long passive inaction allowed the Imperial Army to calmly mobilize troops to sweep away the rebel army in southern Yasenstan, and miraculously caused the 300,000 Imperial Army, which was already caught in a state of being flanked by the rebel armies from the north and south, to be basically intact and put into other battlefields as a new force. The defeat in this battle gave the Imperial Army the conditions and ability to launch the Battle of South Asiansenstan, which was the greatest loss caused by this defeat.
In the ensuing Battle of South Yasenstan, the rebel army in southern Yasenstan, with a total strength of 700,000, was annihilated, and more than 300,000 regular troops of the Tasman Empire got rid of the embarrassment of being besieged. In addition, the re-control of the Imperial Army's native settlements resulted in an additional 120,000 native recruits for the Imperial Army.
The Battle of Vaham-Samlar/Battle of Waham-Lumslar, before the battle began, the campaign policy formulated by the decision-makers of the rebel army was wrong, the Tasman Imperial Army at that time was not as declining as the rebel army imagined, and the grand operational objectives imagined by the rebel army were a little too advanced and too optimistic. There will never be wishful thinking on the battlefield, knowing oneself and knowing the other may not be able to win a hundred battles, let alone not knowing oneself and not knowing the other. The hot-headed top brass of the rebel army overestimated the combat effectiveness of their own troops, and at the same time underestimated the formidable enemy, who was also a regular army.
There is no clear battle plan in the course of the battle, and for such a large-scale battle, if the focus is on attacking the city and capturing the key points, or sending reinforcements to annihilate the enemy's living forces? Such an important matter was not clear to the campaign command. At first, he focused on the siege, and then he was forced to abandon the siege to send reinforcements. The command repeatedly made mistakes, made too many low-level mistakes, underestimated the enemy, did not attack carefully, did not concentrate forces, and other low-level mistakes that completely violated Suvorov's military thinking. This is a defeat that violates modern military science and blindly makes military gambles, a fairly typical example of defeat!
In the blink of an eye, the wheel of history has stepped into the second half of the C century, and in this era of high-tech warfare, the battle of Vaham-Lumslar, which relied almost entirely on the military wisdom of the commander-in-chief, still shines brightly.
N years later, this great battle, which can be called one of the miracles in the history of human warfare, may be the only historical mark left by the thousand-year-old Tasman Empire.
