136 is slow after all
Although the Japanese army and the pigtail soldiers were repulsed by the new army on both flanks, the battle of the entire transfer mountain still lasted until late at night, and the Jin troops desperately hoped to rely on the night battle to regain their lost positions during the day, but because of the lack of troops and the enemy's firepower, they finally failed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As the positions changed hands one after another, the resistance of the Jin rebels became weaker and weaker, and the withdrawal of the Japanese troops and the observation team from Ceylon from the Troop Mobilization Hill marked the loss of the last hope for this position. After the sappers of the Jin State blew up the bridge over the Liao River and burned the boats and other items used to cross the river, they found that the Jin army that had retreated from the Troop Mountain was less than 1,500 people.
Originally, there were 21,000 Jin troops on the position of the Troop Mobilization Mountain, but later 2,000 pigtailed troops and 3,000 ordinary soldiers were replenished due to the danger of the war. As a result, the total number of Jin troops exceeded 25,000, and in the end there were only a pitiful less than 1,500 men left - there were about 150 pigtailed troops, and the rest were troops near the bridge.
As the bridge was blown up, white flags were raised on the main position on the hill, and about 7,000 rebel soldiers chose to surrender. The losses of the Ming army were also very large, with 2,000 soldiers killed and about the same number wounded, and at least 1,000 of them were Janissary soldiers, who joined the battle in the afternoon of the attack, but lost more than any other unit that had previously been engaged in battle.
During the attack, 31 tanks were destroyed, which was also the largest loss of tanks in a single battle of the Ming army. Of these, the Janissaries lost 17 tanks, which was also the highest among all the units involved in the battle (of the remaining lost tanks, 13 belonged to the 1st Panzer Division and 1 to the 3rd Army Teaching Company).
By dawn the next day, the battlefield had basically fallen silent, and the follow-up forces of the New Army took control of the entire area of the Troop Mobilization Mountain, and began to summarize the battle against the densely fortified areas of the enemy's troops. Some soldiers began to repair the roads left behind by the rebels and other facilities in the hope of restoring the area to a garrison position.
Wang Jue, accompanied by Wang Yan, commander of the 3rd Army of the New Army, and Wu Yan, commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard, followed by Sima Mingwei, commander of the New 2nd Group Army, inspected the enemy positions that had just been occupied. They trudged through the soft mud and watched as soldiers filled in the trenches and built a road to the Liao River line.
"Be careful! Leave the turret alone and attach the rope to the hull! Do not tie to tracks or other parts, pass under the body! Through! Got it? Through! With his back to their group of officers, an officer stood on a small platform made of sandbags, directing his men.
In order to be able to rescue the Ming tanks that had fallen into the trench, the New Army soldiers built improvised crane levers on the side of the trenches, and with the help of cars and trailers, they tried to pull up the No. 1 tank that had rushed into the anti-tank trench during the battle. This heroic No. 1 tank was the first to rush down the anti-tank trench in a tense battle, then sold with sandbags for filling the pit, and only now has it been dug up.
The turret was badly deformed by tanks running over it, but the soldiers still wanted to dig the meritorious tank out of the trench with respect, which meant a lot to them. These valiant soldiers sacrificed their lives on the battlefield in exchange for the victory of their comrades-in-arms - as the song goes: without a torch, they can only bravely ignite themselves and prove with sacrifice that they have not given up.
"I heard that the commander of this crew has died because his head hit the edge of the turret on the corner...... However, the driver and the mechanics were only slightly injured. Wang Jue looked at the tank that had been lassoed and was about to be hoisted at any time, and Wang Yan behind him saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he had to introduce the situation in a loud voice: "During the battle, the commander of the vehicle ordered to rush into the trench, and they bought valuable time for their companions and completed the combat mission excellently. ”
Sima Mingwei was already shocked by the tragic battle in front of him, not that the battle in the south was not as bloody as here, but that he had never seen such a neat and neat army seizing positions, nor had he seen such an army rushing up and down to die.
On the way here, he heard that the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guard suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and even the division commander who led the army to personally supervise the battle was painted, was hit in the head by a stray bullet, and returned to the battlefield after a simple bandage. One day and one night to capture the defensive position of the Troop Mobilization Mountain, in any case, it is also a rare high-speed miracle for the attacking side in the offensive and defensive battle.
"The Praetorian Guard was able to hold on to their positions at critical moments and not take a step back...... It is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's pro-army. Sima Mingwei looked at the soldiers in the distance who buried their bodies with the help of craters and trenches, and said to Wang Jue with emotion: "I have been disturbed for so many days, and I can be regarded as understanding some thoughts about the new army. ”
His words made Wang Jue take his eyes back from the tank and look at General Sima Mingwei who spoke. Sima Mingwei did not pause, and continued: "After I go back, I will form a new 2nd Group Army in accordance with the training rules of the new army!" Daming needs such troops, and I also need ......"
Wang Jue laughed, and then continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, stepping on the dirt under his feet step by step, and the dried blood stains on it were faintly visible. Although it is rare to see the corpses, the dense bullet holes on the sandbags and the blood stains everywhere can be seen in the fierceness of the fighting at that time. Wang Jue walked to the main position of the Troop Mobilization Mountain step by step, and then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
"I walked here and it took me 47 minutes. It took you 25 hours to get here...... You are better than me, and I am proud to command soldiers like you. Wang Jue looked at Wang Yan and Wu Yan and the commander of the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guard Army with gauze on his head, as well as the commander of the New 3rd Division and several commanders of the New 3rd Army: "Everyone, it's hard work. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his face to Yang Zizhen, who was standing behind him: "Staff Officer Yang, I just received an order from His Majesty the Emperor, asking me to rush back to Beijing after recapturing the Troop Mobilization Mountain. After this war, presumably Britain, France, Germany, the United States and other countries will not be able to sit still after all, and His Majesty the Emperor summoned me back, and I guess I don't want to fight anymore. ”
He looked in the direction of Fengtian City in the south, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas...... It's still slow after all. (To be continued.) )
