Chapter 876: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Gao Qi said dejectedly: "It's a pity, the big battle for a few days has made the weapons and ammunition carried by the first division too bad, and the current first division can't play its peak combat power." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yan Chunyu laughed and said: "Lao Gao, you lack ammunition, I don't lack it, this time from Shandong, I brought 80,000 rounds of shells alone, in addition to shells, there are tens of thousands of boxes of bullets, these are enough to support our next big battle, you consume a lot of ammunition, their consumption of foreign devils is greater, we are backed by the arsenal in Jinan, we can replenish ammunition at any time, but they have no way to replenish quickly, even if it is Nanyang, it is more than they can supply such a huge consumption!" ”
Gao Qi was in high spirits and said with a smile: "Yes, my consumption is large, their consumption is even greater, looking at these ammunition on the position, it is enough to know how much they consume!" ”
"Yes, we must rest on the spot, the two divisions have fought one after another, the consumption is too great, the soldiers are exhausted, presumably the life of the coalition army is not easy, let's just sit and wait for the big brother to come and fight to the death with them!"
At the same time, the Lu army and the coalition army entered a stalemate.
However, for two days in a row, there was still no movement from Guo Ye's third division, and Gao Qi and Yan Chunyu sent cavalry detectives one after another to listen to the news, but they didn't get anything!
Gao Qi and Yan Chunyu were a little anxious, and if they didn't show up again, they would be two divisions facing the attack of the coalition forces independently! Which play is this big brother playing, hasn't it already arrived at Zhengding? It's time for the day to count!
Sure enough, after two days of rest, Bazin didn't wait any longer.
At the end of the war, after counting various data, Bazin found that not only was the loss of troops serious, but also the loss of weapons and ammunition was also huge, and according to the rate of combat consumption in the previous two days, the ammunition in his hand was enough to support five or six days at most!
Bazin was taken aback, there was no ammunition, it was the worst thing!
"Guys, if we continue to fight like this, we will have no choice but to return in vain! Our troops, weapons and ammunition are difficult to support us to complete the encirclement and suppression of the Lu army, and we must notify the Nanyang side to mobilize a large amount of ammunition for us! ”
Bazin said in a deep voice.
"Yes, what General Bazin said makes sense, we only care about the big war, but we ignore the problem of ammunition, the Lu army is backed by the arsenal in Shandong, and the ammunition can be supplied continuously, but we are not so convenient, and in addition to weapons and ammunition, we ask that all the wounded be sent back to Nanyang for treatment, and ask Nanyang to send reinforcements!"
Horton said fiercely.
Sahavi also nodded in agreement, after all, it is difficult to ride a tiger now, and he must not retreat, even if the price is great, he must annihilate the Lu army and strive for the greatest interests of the West!
"50,000 rounds of artillery shells, 10,000 boxes of ammunition, and at the same time a French infantry brigade, two British infantry brigades, and a Spanish infantry brigade were transferred from Nanyang, a total of 20,000 troops, plus 60,000 coalition troops in Tianjin, which is enough to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Lu army!"
Bazin sent someone to board the battleship from Tianjin, and asked Dundas to quickly transport weapons and baggage from Nanyang, and at the same time mobilize heavy troops from Nanyang again!
Mobilizing weapons, ammunition and troops from Nanyang, even if it is the fastest, will take five or six days, just to take advantage of the time to rest and recuperate, waiting for reinforcements from Nanyang!
In three days, the coalition army recovered from exhaustion and launched an attack on the two divisions of the Lu army again!
Yan Chunyu and Gao Qi led the troops of the two divisions and began another fierce battle with the Lian Army, and the artillery fire on both sides became fierce again!
The two sides fought fiercely again in Xueguantun for a day and a night, and there was still no victory, and each suffered casualties.
However, a shocking news suddenly reached the army, a military force, quickly approaching Tianjin, there are two infantry brigades, 10,000 troops, and all equipped with advanced Western weapons, less than sixty miles away from Tianjin City!
Bazin was shocked! Not only Bazin, but others were also surprised, Tianjin, Tianjin!
It is the hub of the allied army's and navy's contact, and it is also the base of the coalition's rear, once Tianjin is captured, no matter how many coalition troops there are, they will become a turtle in the urn!
The current Tianjin City is only three or four thousand Japanese troops, plus one thousand French troops, one thousand British troops and one thousand Spanish troops, together there are only six or seven thousand people, and the combat power of the remnants of the Japanese defeated generals is almost negligible.
Even Bazin didn't believe it!
Where did the heavily armed military force come from? There is only one such elite in the whole of China, and that is Lu Jun! I didn't expect that in just a few years, the strength of the Lu army has developed so rapidly!
"Help! Must return the favor! General Bazin, no matter what, Tianjin can't afford to lose! ”
Sahavi exclaimed.
Bazin's face was gloomy, and he glared at Sahavi fiercely, isn't that nonsense, who knows, Tianjin City can't fall, otherwise, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of people will be unlucky, and they can't let others slaughter them?
However, in this way, the reinforcements are reduced, which is absolutely not possible, and the people have dispatched 10,000 troops, so the coalition army must send two infantry brigades to be able to withstand the attack of others, and the Tianjin city can be foolproof!
However, although the remaining troops have a bit of an advantage in the face of the Lu army, it is too difficult to defeat them, and at most it is a lose-lose situation!
"General Bazin, we can't attack for the time being, the troops are scattered, the easiest to suffer a big loss, temporarily withdraw the troops, retreat the front to the area of Jinghai Qingxian, wait for the reinforcements of Nanyang, as long as the reinforcements of Nanyang arrive, and then launch the final decisive battle, the Lu army is definitely not our opponent!"
Horton said in a deep voice!
Bazin nodded, what Horton said made sense, now is not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, it is not possible to encircle and annihilate the Lu army in a moment and a half, waiting for reinforcements to arrive is the best policy.
"Order, the Chaser Cavalry Regiment, immediately gallop at full speed to aid Tianjin City, Juyiru, lead the 27th Brigade and 28th Brigade of the French Army to follow closely behind, retreat quickly towards Tianjin City, protect the safety of Tianjin, and the rest of the troops retreat north to the north of Qingxian County, and wait and see what happens!"
Bazin quickly made a deployment, and the coalition forces began to retreat to the rear overnight!
When the coalition army got the news, the Lu army also got the news almost at the same time, and the third division actually set the target in Tianjin!
"Siege Wei to save Zhao!"
Gao Qi and Yan Chunyu had a classic battle example in their minds at the same time, the eldest brother is a recreational coalition army that wants to play with their lives, let them be exhausted, and finally complete the final blow! But how is the number of people wrong? 10,000 troops, where did the other 10,000 troops go?
