Wolf Domain Headquarters.

"The 102nd regiment has 501 killed and 127 seriously wounded."

"The 103rd regiment, 189 soldiers were killed and 36 were seriously wounded."

"The 104th regiment, 178 soldiers killed and 53 seriously wounded."

"The First Fleet of the Naval Division, 56 killed and 8 seriously wounded."

"The rest of the regiments totaled 108 dead and 21 seriously wounded."

"A total of 1,032 soldiers were killed and 245 were seriously injured."

This is a bloody number, 1032 soldiers were sacrificed, 245 people were seriously injured, if nothing else, these 245 seriously wounded seventy or eighty percent could not be saved, even if they were lucky to be rescued, there was basically no hope of re-entering the battlefield, that is to say, just on the first day, the Black Dragon Army lost nearly 1,300 people.

"We didn't fail, but the casualties were really too great."

Everyone here, including Yue Weihua, had actually expected that although the Black Dragon Army had complete fortifications, and although the Black Dragon Army's firepower was fiercer than the other party, sacrifice was inevitable, but it was true that they did not expect that so many soldiers would be sacrificed on the first day.

Of course, the Qing-Russian coalition army suffered more casualties, although Yue Weihua could not accurately count it, but through the reverse deduction of merit points, he could probably calculate that at the end of the day, Yue Weihua earned more than 35,000 merit points, so he almost killed about 7,000 people on the other side.

1,300 to 7,000, with a battle loss ratio of nearly 1:5.4.

If it is according to the results of the Black Dragon Army in the past, this report card is undoubtedly a failure, for the Black Dragon Army, the battle loss ratio is less than 1:10, it can basically be regarded as a failure, but in today's battle, you can't say that your side is not fighting well.

In fact, although the 102nd Regiment had two battalions of recruits, and the 103rd and 104th Regiments were adapted from the Qing Army, there is no doubt that today they played with the momentum of the Black Dragon Army and did not let the other side stand on their positions even once, even alone.

As for why the battle loss ratio is so "high", it is because more than seventy percent of the soldiers who sacrificed died under the opponent's artillery.

"We must destroy the opponent's artillery regiment as soon as possible, even if the price paid is greater, it is worth it, otherwise, our Black Dragon Army really can't afford to spend it."

This is the voice of everyone here, the Black Dragon Army really can't afford it, if it is at the rate of today's battle damage, then in less than ten days, the Black Dragon Army will almost die, then even if it holds the position, what is the use.

"Liu Liren, what does your intelligence department say?"

As soon as Yue Weihua opened his mouth, he directly named him, which made Liu Liren, the Minister of Intelligence, feel Alexander.

"Commander-in-chief, through many artillery battles during the day, we have determined the orientation of the opponent's artillery positions several times, and through close cooperation with the special operations group, we have also found several places, but the three artillery regiments of Tsarist Russia are very cautious, and the few places we have found have either been transferred by the opponent's artillery or are heavily guarded, and it is difficult for our intelligence officers and special combat personnel to approach."

"However, after all, this is daytime, the opponent's artillery is transferred quickly, and it is understandable that it is heavily guarded, so it mainly depends on how it is at night, and I believe that after our intelligence department and the special operations brigade work together, we will definitely make a difference tonight." Liu Liren could only grit his teeth and promise.

"Okay, I'll wait." Yue Weihua nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Nie Youcai, let's talk about it, what are the lessons learned from this battle." ”

As night fell, after the retreat of the Qing-Russian coalition army, the Black Dragon Army also changed its defense, the position of the 102nd Regiment was taken over by the 105th Regiment, and the positions of the 103rd Regiment and the 104th Regiment were replaced by the Marine Corps and the Engineer Corps, as for the defense area of the First Fleet of the Naval Division, it was still garrisoned by them, after all, there were many of them, and there was no big battle, except for supporting the 102nd Regiment at the beginning, basically they were watching the show.

However, the change of defense engineer regiment to go up, in fact, Yue Weihua is unwilling, although this engineer regiment is composed of fighters drawn from the old engineer regiment, but after all, it is also a technical branch, take it to the battlefield to fight hard, to be honest, Yue Weihua is reluctant, but it is really difficult to resist the stubborn engineer regiment commander Tian Dashan, so he has to put it up, in this way, it can also let Yue Weihua leave more hole cards.

Of course, what I want to say next is not to justify our 102nd regiment's bad fight today, but mainly to tell some of the lessons that happened to our 102nd regiment, so as not to make the same mistake."

"First of all, I think we are a little underestimated, everyone knows that since the war with Lao Maozi, our Black Dragon Army has not only not suffered defeats, but also basically won big victories, and the battle loss ratio is basically more than ten, so, although we are from top to bottom, one is emphasizing that we cannot underestimate the enemy, but in fact, from officers to soldiers, even if it is a new recruit, because of the ears and eyes, and the owner has a heart to underestimate the enemy, the enemy has to pay the price, more than 600 living lives, this is the price paid by our 102 regiment, I hope you will take this as a warning. ”

"Secondly, hey, perhaps, it's because the previous battles were too smooth, which led to the lack of mental preparation when we really had a tough confrontation with each other, which led to slow reaction and insufficient adaptability on the battlefield, which is very important, I believe that many people here have discovered this, here, I will no longer be ugly."

"Again, what I want to say is that the weapons and equipment of our Black Dragon Army are excellent and powerful, but many times, everyone is a little too dependent on weapons and equipment, for example, today our regiment suddenly found that mortar shells ran out, at this time, many soldiers are a little overwhelmed, in fact, I want to say that weapons and equipment are important, but to cultivate the combat quality, combat will, and on-the-spot adaptability of the soldiers, the same, or even more important."

"Finally, I would like to say that the issue of how to rationally dispose and distribute ammunition in battle is also a place worth paying attention to,......"

……

Although the battle has only been going on for a day, both sides have exposed a lot of problems, just when the Black Dragon Army is summing up, in the headquarters of the Qing Tsarist Russian coalition army, all the officers above the first level of the officer brigade of the Qing and Russian sides participated in the meeting, the officers of the Tsarist army are on the left, the Qing army officers are on the right, and there is an interpreter sitting next to everyone, it can be seen that the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Kuzuo Siko, still has more respect for the Qing army, at least on the surface.

"Last night, the forward of the coalition army was ambushed and killed, our Tsarist Russia lost a brigade, and the Qing army also lost a joint army of soldiers and horses, a total of more than 8,000 people, all of whom were annihilated."

"In today's first battle, Tsarist Russia dispatched three artillery regiments and carried out eight artillery supports, including an hour-long bombardment, which hit nearly ten tons of shells, in addition, the Tsarist side also dispatched an infantry brigade, a cavalry regiment, and the Qing army dispatched a cavalry association and an infantry association, with a total of more than 15,000 people."

"And the final result, after statistics, the number of soldiers killed in the battle of Tsarist Russia reached more than 2,300, and the Qing generals lost nearly 4,800 people, totaling more than 7,000 people."

"What makes me even more ashamed is that we have sacrificed so many soldiers, but we have not even broken through the opponent's first line of defense, and we have not even gone up to the opponent's position."

"To be honest, I'm ashamed of my results in these two days, and I don't know if any of you here feel the same way as me."

As soon as Kuzuo Cisco came up, he directly used data to speak, providing everyone with an intuitive feeling, so that everyone could be prepared, and then looked up at Zeng Qi and said, "General Zeng, can you say a few words?" ”

"Okay." Zeng Qi nodded and said: "First of all, I need to express my heavy condolences to the dead coalition soldiers, and secondly, I want to make a point here, that is, although we have not achieved much good results, but our soldiers have shown their bravery, in the face of the Black Dragon Army, our soldiers are not timid, nor afraid, even if there are fewer and fewer comrades around us, but we are still attacking, still fighting, I think this is very important." ”

On the contrary, the two associations of the Qing army today, although more than half of the casualties were killed, but as Zeng Qi said, there was not a single deserter on the battlefield, which was for the Qing army, in such a cruel battle, there were no deserters, which really made Zeng Qi feel extremely proud and proud.

What's more critical is that several of the main generals who fought today, such as the Qing Army's cavalry co-capital Hairi Gu Siro, the infantry co-capital Deng Tong, the commander of the Tsarist Russian infantry brigade Li Ters and others are now present, Zeng Qi said this, even if it is directly determined for their battle today, there is no fault, it is conceivable that these generals, and even other generals will be full of gratitude to Zeng Qi, after all, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to win the battle, on the contrary, judging from today's battle, I am afraid that the future days will not be better.

Sheng Jing is close to Zeng Qi may not be able to command the battlefield, but he has been immersed in the Qing court officialdom for decades, and he is absolutely playing the trick of buying people's hearts, and there is not even a trace, in this regard, even Kuzuosco did not notice anything, of course, Kuzuo Cisco did not have to worry at all, could Zeng Qi still be able to seize his own power, and be able to fool the generals under his own hands, this is impossible.

When Zeng Qi had almost finished speaking, Kuzuosco took over the topic again and began to discuss today's gains and losses, and this speech immediately showed the gap between the generals of the Qing army and the generals of Tsarist Russia.

As soon as the generals of the Qing army opened their mouths, they complained about their grievances, either that the opponent was well-armed or that the opponent's fortifications were built perfectly.

For example, the infantry brigade commander Littels, who participated in the battle today, pointed out: "The battlefield is too narrow, but our side has invested too many troops, resulting in too many soldiers, resulting in greater casualties, I suggest that we should open up a second battlefield, or even the third and fourth battlefields." ”

It should be said that practice brings true knowledge, without investigation, there is no right to speak, without personal participation, you cannot truly appreciate the true meaning, etc., these words are really universal and applicable.

"Brigadier Commander Littels, what he said is very true, our Eastern Route Coalition Army has 80,000 people, and it is fully capable of opening up the second battlefield and coming out of the third field, and there is no need to fight in one place." Zeng Qi was the first to echo.

Zeng Qi responded in such a hurry, it naturally makes sense, if the Qing and Russian coalition forces have been crowded together to fight, then the Qing army has undoubtedly been in a passive position, and it can even be said to be cannon fodder, but if the second battlefield is opened, or even the third battlefield, then Zeng Qi can completely propose that the Qing army will stand alone, and I believe that it is not easy for Kuzuosco to object.

Different from Zeng Qi's blind response, Kuzuosco was obviously much calmer, and when Zeng Qi spoke, he called the guards over and whispered a few words, and after a while, a Russian officer from the Tsarist army entered the venue, this officer's name was Onufli, and he was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion directly under Kuzuosco.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Onuf Li, the tent of the reconnaissance camp, and now, let him tell us about the situation in and around the wolf domain."

Cuzosco knocked on the table and motioned for everyone to stop the discussion, because Onulf had been taking the reconnaissance battalion and some "traitors" for the past two days to scout around the wolf domain, and drew a map of the wolf domain with his own hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this map."

"The entire Black Dragon Army's lair is within a radius of about ten kilometers, here, it is said that it has always been a bandit's lair, with many mountains and narrow roads, and the terrain is dangerous, especially after the Black Dragon Army's vigorous transformation in the past few months, it has now become a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"I'm sorry, I use a fortress to describe the lair of the Black Dragon Army, but, after a multi-directional investigation, combined with the introduction of the intelligence officers who had the honor to enter the wolf domain and built fortifications for the other party before, plus the situation of today's battle, the wolf domain is indeed extremely strong, and it is not too much to describe it as a fortress."

"Everyone, please look here, this is the place where we are attacking today, and in fact, this is not the boundary of the wolf domain, this can only be regarded as their outpost at best, I am sorry to tell you that the Black Dragon Army is a stronger defense line than this defense line, there are four in the wolf domain, and one is more dangerous and solid."

"Nope."

"Impossible, how is it possible?"

"Then how do you fight this?"

"Fighting the outermost place, we have lost more than 10,000 people, and we haven't even entered the range of other people's lair, how can we fight this battle?"

It should be said that what Onuf Li is saying now, Kuzuosco and Zeng Qi have known it for a long time, and even some generals of Tsarist Russia also know it, but most of the generals of the Qing army do not understand, so the most noisy people at this moment are the generals of the Qing army.

"Silence." Zeng Qi knocked on the table and said angrily: "Shut up for me, what kind of system is it, isn't it shameful enough." ”

After a while, it was not until the venue was quiet again that Onuf Li continued: "Of course, the Black Dragon Army is not invincible, and the Wolf Domain is not an iron bucket without weaknesses, as General Littles said just now, in fact, we can open up the second battlefield, or even the third and fourth battlefields. ”

"Everyone, please look here, about ten miles northeast of the Wolf Domain, there is an entrance to Buren Mountain, there is a village here, called Eighteen Forts, according to intelligence officers, the passage from Eighteen Forts to Wolf Domain in Buren Mountains has been completely opened, if we can attack from here, then we can find another way."

"Other than that, ,...... in these places"
