The support of the Mawei army was very fast, and the soldiers who delivered the letter delivered the news to Ningdu Prefecture and Fuzhou in one day, but did not send the message to Nan'an Prefecture due south, which borders Hunan, and it is uncertain whether the Wu army will march from there in the future. There are also three battalions of the cavalry division in Fuzhou, and four battalions of the second division in Ningduzhou.
Before receiving the order from the Fuzhou headquarters to attack the nearby prefecture and county, he received a letter for help from the Ji'an Prefecture, and the supreme commander in charge of the Jiangxi war was Li Guangdi, who was in Ningdu Prefecture at the moment, and immediately ordered a part of the troops and horses to be sent to Ji'an Prefecture to support the First Division. For these soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, the casualties did not frighten them, but they shouted one by one to hurry to Ji'an Mansion to avenge the brothers who died in the war. Ji'an Mansion is close to Hunan, and it is not certain that Wu Sangui will send a large army again after getting the news, so these Mawei soldiers who were happy to hear the battle moved quite quickly, and gave an order, and it only took half a day to prepare a qiē.
The total number of Wu troops entering Jiangxi from the direction of Ji'an Fu was 21,000, but at this time, 8,000 of the 21,000 were captured, and more than 1,000 scattered and fled. Everything else was wiped out. Such a loss must be difficult for Wu Sangui to accept. But for a while, I was afraid that Wu Sangui would not get this news. Those fleeing Wu cavalry may not dare to go back directly, but some of them have to make a big detour if they want to rush back directly to report the news, after all, the road they came from has been blocked by the Mawei army. Therefore, even if they ran back to Wu Sangui, they were afraid that it would be five to six days later.
"Metropolitan Governor, the battle report from Ji'an Mansion has come up, and we have won!" Geng Hou took the latest battle report and handed it to Geng Jingzhong. Although he said that he had won, there was no smile on his face.
"What's the matter, I'm not happy to win! Show me! Saying that, Geng Jingzhong took the battle report and quickly browsed it. When he saw that his family had more than 3,100 killed and 600 seriously injured, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared! After reading this battle report carefully, he let out a long breath and said: "The soldiers on the front line are careless!" Under the successive victories, they have forgotten that they are not invincible in the world, and there are still people in the world who can take their lives. Summons, drums and gatherings, I have something big to say. ”
Soon, in this barracks, it is now the central nervous system of the entire Mawei group, and the main generals who are still in Fuzhou are all in this barracks. In just ten minutes, all the generals were there. Even the commanders of the navy have arrived.
The atmosphere in the lobby was strict, and all the generals who sat down could feel that something big was about to happen, so they held their breath and waited for Geng Jingzhong's speech. Geng Jingzhong didn't say anything first, but Geng Hou read the battle report in front of him first.
"Well, what do you think?" Geng Jingzhong said expressionlessly.
"Revenge! Revenge must be taken! Vice Admiral Huang Dazhong shouted loudly. For such a long time, the navy has been suffocated, except for a few cannons fired by the navy during the attack on Guangzhou, so far they have not even drunk a mouthful of soup. Hearing that the Mawei Army had killed so many people in the battle, Huang Dazhong immediately shouted to take revenge.
There were also many people who responded to Huang Dazhong, and more than a dozen generals at the level of captains of large naval ships echoed their words, and it was time for the navy to make a move, otherwise it would be really unpleasant to float on the sea with an empty warship and watch others earn military merits.
"The Grand Duke!" Zeng Yangxing opened his mouth and said that although he was the supreme commander of the Mawei Marine Army, the war in Jiangxi could not be presided over due to physical reasons, but his vision was still first-class. "Since the beginning of our Mawei Army, we have won consecutive battles, and even this time is no exception, although we paid the price, we won in the end. But why didn't we suffer such losses before, but this time we lost so much? Shouldn't this be a cause for you to ponder? ”
"Uncle Zeng said well, the main reason why the Governor of Pontus called you here this time is for this matter. The fact that the first division suffered such heavy losses this time shows that we still attach importance to the enemy psychologically, careless, careless, understand? Think that the equipment of our Mawei Army is far better than other armies, and our Mawei Army can be invincible in the world? ”
"This time, the Wu army found a weakness and took advantage of it, and almost annihilated the first division. If it weren't for the cavalry division's surprise attack from the rear, none of the 4,000 people in the first division would have thought of coming back, and after Wu Yingqi suffered the first defeat, he would still be happy to exchange 10,000 people for 4,000 of our Mawei Army. Geng Jingzhong stared coldly at the generals lying in the hall and said. Although our musket is very sharp, his shortcomings are also obvious, and our enemies have a way to deal with them. Just like this time, the Wu army approached our phalanx very smoothly when this military vehicle was in front, if the next time the Qing army used a better tool to block the shooting of our muskets and let the soldiers and horses of their brigade press up, would they be able to resist it with our troops? ”
The generals also lowered their heads when they said this, this point has actually been paid attention to during the Mawei Army's many exercises, but in the past six months of campaigning, no enemy army has used such tactics at all, and the Mawei Army has also won consecutive battles, so it has simply ignored this point. This time, the thousands of people in the 1st Division of the Mawei Army is a lesson, and this lesson cannot be violated, but it is not tragic.
"The Grand Duke!" Yao Qisheng began to speak: "My subordinates think that although the lesson this time is painful, it is not a bad thing for our Mawei Army, which just reminds other leading soldiers that the next time they are fighting against the enemy, they can be more attentive and go all out, instead of thinking that they are strong and do their best. Yao Qisheng's words were also accepted by the generals below, this is indeed a lesson and a wake-up call, warning them that in the future battles, they can no longer be proud and complacent, arrogant and arrogant!
"The lion fights the rabbit, does anyone not understand this truth? I also told you a long time ago that we should despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, but the facts in front of us tell us that many of our generals still don't take this seriously! This matter must be sent to the whole army in the form of a document, so that every commander can be vigilant! Geng Jingzhong said with a stern face, he directly transferred the strategic and tactical ideas of Chairman Mao, the great leader of later generations, to use, but he was not worried that someone would come to him for trouble.
Geng Jingzhong is a few military strategists who admire this Weida, of course, he thinks that he is 108,000 miles behind this great man, but he can directly use the mature theory of the great man, and if it is implemented, it will be effective. This is an inseparable aspect of strategically despising the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy. The so-called strategy is a metaphor for the strategy that determines the overall situation, and tactics is a metaphor for the method of solving local problems; The so-called enemy refers to the real enemy, and can also refer to the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the work. Such as floods, such as opponents in sports competitions. Only by strategically despising the enemy can we dare to fight against the enemy; in order to maintain a strong fighting spirit, perseverance, and move forward; Only then can we be temporarily in difficult conditions, not be confused by the phenomenon of the enemy's external strength and middle cadres, and not be pessimistic, disappointed, and stagnant in overestimating the enemy.
Attaching importance to the enemy tactically is a realistic guarantee for defeating the enemy. Only by attaching importance to the enemy tactically can we avoid underestimating the enemy and having the idea of paralyzing and underestimating the enemy; Only then can we adopt a cautious attitude and pay attention to the art of struggle in every specific struggle; In order to keep a clear mind, not to be reckless and reckless, and to finish the battle. The great man once pointed out: "While we have rightly pointed out that the enemy should be underestimated in the whole and in strategy, we must not despise the enemy in every part and in every specific problem."
"Yes!" After listening to Geng Jingzhong's words, the generals should be in unison.
"The aftermath of the soldiers who died in the battle must be dealt with, this is the first time our Mawei Army has suffered such a loss, I don't want to have a second time, although this is just a wish, but I believe that as long as the soldiers are united, not arrogant or impatient, and steadily advance, victory will always belong to our Mawei Army." For Wu Sangui to send troops into our territory this time, I have sent someone to Hunan to question, at this time we can't directly tear our faces with Wu Sangui, but I am afraid that he will be annoyed and angry if he loses 20,000 soldiers and horses. Geng Jingzhong said as he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
