Chapter 144: The War in Fujian (4)
Except for a little nervousness, all the soldiers behaved normally, and they were all looking forward to their achievements. Although the recruits www.biquge.info young, they are better than their own shortcomings, so they are all very careful, for fear that their own shortcomings will affect the entire occupation.
At this time, with the orders of the commanders of both sides, almost all the soldiers on both sides joined the battlefield, and this was already a battle of tens of thousands of people.
Because the Qing army obviously had an advantage in numbers, even if the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army had an advantage in weapons, it would be a kung fu, and the two sides seemed to be evenly matched.
As early as when Li Ran decided to fight with the other party, Li Ran had already sent an order to the army in Yanping City, asking them to come to support quickly, although they were all new soldiers, but they were 14,000 recruits, and their combat effectiveness was definitely comparable to Zeng Guoquan's army.
Li Ran calculated that there were still twenty minutes before the arrival of the new army, so as long as the Zhenwu army could maintain a stalemate with the Qing army in the next twenty minutes, then as soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Qing army would be instantly defeated. This was an inevitable event, because it was impossible for the Qing army to have reinforcements coming.
Moreover, as long as the reinforcements of the Zhenwu Army arrive, for the Qing army, it will be a devastating blow, whether it is morale or attack power, the Zhenwu Army will multiply several times, what can the Qing army do?
However, at this time, the two sides are in a stalemate, and no one can help anyone, and the competition at this time is patience and skill. Of course, there is a certain amount of luck, and if you are lucky, the moment you press the trigger, sometimes the trajectory of the shot will be deflected, and if you can shoot at the enemy in this way, this is luck.
Tens of thousands of troops attacked each other on a frontal battlefield of more than 300 meters. There are still tens of thousands of troops fighting on both sides of the road, but here Zhao Peng's Sixth Brigade firmly occupies the terrain advantage, and for a while, it is also inseparable from the enemy.
A soldier of the sixth brigade, commanding his machine gun has been firing frantically, he likes this feeling very much, Lao Tzu was beaten to the ground by himself one by one, but this soldier was extremely happy in his heart, he could finally win glory for the team.
He roared loudly, pointed his gun at the crowded place of the Qing army, and continued to start shooting, in order to reduce the pressure on his comrades, he was desperate to fight.
Many of the soldiers around him were infected by the spirit of this machine gunner, and they all did their best to attack the enemy army, and they wanted to use their abilities to relieve the pressure on their comrades.
The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army almost all use their best abilities, and they vow to reduce the pressure on their comrades and be a real warrior and a real battlefield hero.
Li Ran watched all the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army fight hard to kill the enemy, and the government soldiers and recruits gradually adapted to it, and he was really relieved in his heart, everything was under his control.
Li Ran conveyed all kinds of orders to the battlefield depending on the situation, although it was very tiring, but Li Ran had to do it, you must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly.
The sound of gunfire, the shouts of soldiers filled the entire battlefield, and of course, the occasional explosion of grenades and bullets from time to time by the Zhenwu army, and the battlefield became more and more chaotic, and it was really out of control.
Zeng Guoquan and Prince Gong Yixin also became relaxed at this time, in their opinion, although at the beginning, their own side lost thousands of people, but as the war continued, they had gradually drawn with each other.
Both of them believe that over time, the superiority in numbers will turn into an advantage in the battlefield, and how powerful they are.
Finally, the Zhenwu army had been fighting with the Qing army for fifteen minutes, and the reinforcements of the Zhenwu army rushed to the battlefield, Li Ran finally showed a knowing smile, and immediately shouted loudly, "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, everyone must work hard to leave the Qing army." ”
"Whoa." The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army screamed wildly, and at this moment they had become crazy, and they all ran with the recruits, holding the guns in their hands and frantically putting out the fire.
The recruits looked at the tragic scene of their army and suddenly got carried away, they had only one thought in their hearts, and that was to kill, kill, kill!!
Only by killing all the enemy soldiers can the safety of their comrades be guaranteed. This is the power of unity, and this is also what Li Zhongju has always emphasized that soldiers also know how to unite and understand the feelings of comrades-in-arms.
Zeng Guoquan and Prince Gong Yixin's faces were extremely embarrassed at this time, looking at the gradual defeat and retreat of the Qing army, the two of them already fully understood that if there were no reinforcements at this time, they would lose.
But the two of them all sighed, where did they get the reinforcements, Zeng Guoquan's army of 20,000 directly attacked Guangdong Province, and Prince Gong's army was still far away in the capital. So they don't have reinforcements and they won't have reinforcements.
Zeng Guoquan and Prince Gong Yixin glanced at each other, and they both saw deep helplessness and a trace of remorse in each other's eyes.
Prince Gong then ordered a retreat, and Zeng Guoquan also ordered the army to retreat, and they immediately led dozens of elite cavalry to the rear. How to retreat later can only be left to other generals.
All this was understandable, but for a defeated army, Zeng Guoquan and Prince Gong's approach was fatal, Li Ran immediately sneered, I want to leave, how can it be so easy, not leaving some will make you leave so easily.
Li Ran ordered that the gun should be surrendered and not killed. Then the Zhenwu army began to hunt down, and many Qing soldiers chose to surrender in order to survive.
A sentence of "I surrender" became the most spoken words by the Qing army on the battlefield at this time, they couldn't wait to throw their guns far away, they saw that after they surrendered, the Zhenwu army did not do anything to them, and they were also relieved in their hearts.
Kill! Come on!
For any army, the most important thing to do is to chase and kill, like a cat chasing a mouse, to play with the enemy army and get spiritual comfort and pleasure.
This will leave an extremely deep impression on the enemy army from the heart, and when these people encounter them in the future, an instinctive reaction is that we are inferior to the other party, and the other party is stronger than us.
An hour later, Li Ran withdrew his troops, and this time pursued and killed the enemy for more than ten miles, killing almost 14,500 Qing troops and capturing more than 12,000 people in the entire war. This is half the size of the Qing army's army this time.
Zeng Guoquan and Prince Gong were sitting in the study of a wealthy family at this time, neither of them wanted to speak, so they sat quietly.
There were tens of thousands of troops outside, all of them in rags, without the appearance of soldiers, many soldiers were gnawing on raw food to satisfy their hunger, and a few generals even got a cow from there and prepared to roast it. (To be continued.) )
