Chapter 682: All who are alive are heroes
Shumo sat on a large rock, weak. He was preparing for a fierce battle just now, but now he was safe all of a sudden, which made Shumo a little unbelievable of the facts in front of him.
After the rain, the Han army flag between the calligraphy and ink department and Zhang Liang immediately turned into hand-to-hand combat. The tragic battle will not be described in detail, if it were not for the relatively small place on the top of the mountain, so that the Han army flag could not display its troops; If it weren't for the fact that Shumo had been maintaining a battle formation and fighting tenaciously, the Shumo Department might have been wiped out a long time ago.
But even so, when Dolgon was singing, there were only about sixty people around Shumo, and he was surrounded by hundreds of Han army banners, and there might be another battle, and Shumo would not be able to support it.
"My lord! I just counted it, counting minor and serious injuries, we still have eighty-eight people. "The person who spoke to Shumo was a deputy battalion commander. In today's battle, all the chief and deputy commanders of this regiment were killed, and there was only one officer left above the deputy battalion level.
Shumo nodded Muran, indicating that he already knew.
But the deputy battalion commander did not leave, he hesitated for a moment. He bent down and whispered to Shumo: "My lord! A few didn't come out just now, do you want the villain to arrest them? Although he spoke in a small voice, the deputy battalion commander was gritting his teeth.
In the battle to Zuihou just now, Shumo once shouted that all the soldiers would come closer to form a formation, and finally formed a formation of more than sixty people. And now after the war, there are 88 people named, except for those who are injured and unable to fight, there must be a few people who are afraid of death who did not dare to show their faces just now, hiding in the pile of dead bodies and pretending to be dead. That's why the deputy battalion commander was so angry.
Shumo quietly listened to the singing of the Runing Army under the mountain, and after a long while, he sighed: "Hey! Never mind! Just don't know anything! It's not easy to be alive. ”
The brutality of the battle has exceeded the limit of what can be withheld. If you are human, you will be afraid of death. How many comrades-in-arms have fought side by side, so why bother? Those who are alive are heroes.
After this battle, this nameless hill was named Blood Ridge, and these eighty-eight people were called the Eighty-Eight Warriors of Blood Ridge. And in the official documents of the Runing Army. The Battle of the River was also officially named the Battle of Blood Ridge. The tenacious fighting style of Shumo and his infantry regiment made the name of this secondary battlefield, abandoned by the commanders of both sides, the official name of the entire battle.
It wasn't until the back of the Qing army disappeared in the distance that the singing of the Runing army stopped, but at this time, there was an abnormality, and the soldiers of the Runing Army who were standing upright fell into the mud one after another. Excessive physical exertion, heavy rain and a lot of body heat, coupled with a long period of nervous tension, caused quite a few Runing soldiers to faint at this time. The strings are taut for too long, and as soon as they are loosened, they can't hold up.
"Medic! Hurry up and save people! I saw the soldiers around me fainting "crackling". Wu Shigong shouted anxiously.
But at this moment, a fast horse galloped over, and when the cavalry on the horse saw Wu Shigong, they cried out: "Wu Dashuai, my master is no good!" My lord is no good! ”
Wu Shigong knew the cavalry when he saw it. That person was Li Lu's personal soldier captain. Wu Shigong didn't say a word, and rushed to Li Lu's place with his own personal army.
Far away. Wu Shigong saw Li Lu lying in a swarm chariot with the door open. Wu Shigong rushed over. jumped off the horse and rushed to Li Lu's side at once.
Fortunately, Li Lu hadn't closed his eyes at this time, he saw Wu Shigong coming over, smiled at Wu Shigong with all his strength, and said in a weak voice: "Brother-in-law! It's the gentlemen of the capital! This battle is very strong! ……”
After all that's said. Li Lu finally closed his eyes contentedly.
"Sir! Wake up! Li Lu's personal captain immediately pounced on Li Lu's body. All around was a cry. Wu Shigong also felt that his nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist.
Unexpectedly, in the loud cry of the captain of the pro-soldier, Li Lu actually opened his eyes again, and in Wu Shigong's surprised gaze of Li Lu's corpse. Li Lu scolded: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to die yet." I'll be woken up by you after a while! Get out! ”
Wu Shigong hurriedly motioned to Lang Zhong, who came with him, to take a look at Li Lu's physical condition, and after checking it, he determined that Li Lu was only overworked now, and there was no danger to his life. It turned out that after the war, Li Lu's appearance of slumping to the ground was too scary, so his personal captain put on an oolong.
In Wu Shigong's unkind gaze, the captain of the pro-soldier who was now smirking knew that something was wrong, and he was constantly dodging backwards, but how could Wu Shigong hold back this breath? He rushed forward and was punched and kicked. After the fight, Wu Shigong also pointed at the captain of the pro-soldier and scolded: "Don't let me see you kid in the future, otherwise I will be beaten once." ”
Although he was beaten and scolded by Wu Shigong, Li Lu's personal captain was still smirking.
Although he encountered an oolong at Li Lu's place, the next thing was bad news. When the various units counted the casualties, Wu Shigong knew that the casualties in this battle were so heavy.
More than 7,800 people were killed in the whole army of the Runing Army, and more than 8,000 were seriously injured or fainted, and only more than 20 percent of the personnel were intact. But even these intact personnel, their physical strength was almost all overdrawn, and even two or three people together could not lift a single wounded. This is also the retreat of the Weishenme Runing Army that does not entangle the Qing army. It's really powerless! In addition, Li Lu's 1,500 cavalry also suffered nearly 900 casualties.
At the level of the town and co-commander, Li Sanhe and Huang Qiqi were killed, and six people, including He Fei and Xiong Zhengen, were injured. Eight regimental commanders and deputy commanders were killed, and 17 battalion commanders were killed, and the number of casualties among junior officers was even greater. This is also what the Runing Army has always insisted on: officers need to charge ahead on the battlefield, which also makes the proportion of casualties among the officers of the Runing Army far exceed that of the whole army.
Shumo's infantry regiment was almost completely wiped out, the two infantry regiments of the Rotation Training Association were also almost completely wiped out, and the Marine Regiment of the Marine Division suffered more than seventy percent casualties. Except for Wu Shigong's personal troops, the casualty ratio of other troops exceeded 50%, and even the Artillery Association was no exception.
What made Wu Shigong even more heartbroken was that although Lang Zhong and the medical soldiers of the whole army did their best, there were not enough manpower and medicinal materials, and they couldn't even help the wounded find a dry place to lie down, let alone keep the wounded warm from the rain. So the number of casualties has been skyrocketing.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that the cavalry association arrived that the Runing army had enough manpower to carry all the wounded back to their camp. And the corpses of all the fallen soldiers and all the artillery, the Runing army can only remain on the battlefield first, delaying the disposal. (To be continued......)
