Chapter 73: The Path of Fortune That Belongs to the Aftermath
No one cares about your losses on the battlefield, and when the order comes, even if you are the only company commander, you have to charge the inner city mansion.
The battle was fought fiercely, and several military doctors in the company were killed.
The cricket had no choice but to take out the medicine and equipment and carry out on-site first aid, otherwise those seriously injured would not be able to persist in the rear army's treatment.
After such a delay, other troops have also opened up the eastern block, and the inner city mansion is already in a semi-encirclement.
Today, large numbers of natives have been gathered and taken out of the war zone, and temporarily placed in the care of auxiliaries.
Zifeng's plan is not set in stone, and the entire staff is analyzing the battle reports from the front and generating a new combat plan as soon as possible.
The news of this time was not pleasant, although the auspicious army had come to the city and half surrounded the city lord's mansion, nearly half of the manpower was lost, the viper broke one team member, the great white shark broke six, and there were no wounded.
This made everyone in the war room lose their previous calmness, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"The city lord's mansion is only the size of two sanjin courtyards, everyone will discuss it, and whether they will fight or not. ”
Zifeng's heavy voice came, and everyone tried to calm down and analyze the battle report.
Although the sky has been brightened, the enemy is also compressed in a small courtyard, auspicious is not good, they are even more unhappy.
At this time, if they take the initiative to give up, the young staff officers trained by the military department will be the first to be unhappy.
So after a symbolic struggle, everyone unanimously agreed to continue the attack.
Although the auspicious army is only 1,000 people, and the opponent is about 5,000, the victory is on his own side.
"Commander, the Air Force has returned, so I just worked harder, approached the bombing, and blew away the morale of the people with color eyes in one go. ”
"Yes, if you bring some artillery over, no matter how thick the walls are, you won't be able to stop the gunpowder from bursting, and you will be able to use it then. ”
"We are concentrating our forces and fighting for the first battle. ”
The one-sided voice of the war made Zifeng breathe a sigh of relief, not that he was worried that everyone was afraid of war, but that he was afraid of disagreements, since he was so single-minded, he naturally had no reason to object, so he said: "There is nothing to study, the air force will first come to a round of fixed-point clearance, then the artillery will open the way, and finally the infantry will finish, and the action must be fast." ”
Colonel Qin, who was looking for the commanding heights, was the first to find ten behemoths floating towards him from the west, so he signaled to the crickets, and then Company Commander Liu and they also found out.
The Air Force went to war again, which made many officers and men at the grassroots level happy, which meant that many of his subordinates would die less.
He Yan stared at the hot air balloon overhead, and instructed the herald: "It's going to be a decisive battle, and it's time to supply another batch of supplies to the front line, hurry up." ”
After the order for the general attack was delivered, everyone knew that this battle would be completed in one battle, so they also began to self-examine, and then seized the time to rest and meet the choice of fate in a good state.
The Great White Shark and Viper have gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, they must ensure the density and intensity of the attack, and do not give the enemy a chance to breathe, which is also the key to this battle, and must not be a tug-of-war.
George and a few other generals sat in the hall, Brian had died in the bombardment, and several other army commanders had died in the west of the city for various reasons and orders, and all of them were his henchmen.
"The tunnels have been cleared, you will go first, gather the defenders of the eastern city and take them to Kra City, and then I will rush over with the guards to pay attention to whether there are any auspicious ambushes around. ”
Several henchmen showed gratitude, although there was also a factor in letting them go first, but the outside of the city must be safer than the inside of the city, so they said yes one after another, and their eyes were resolute, which also made George feel better.
By the time ten hot air balloons flew over the mansion, George had slipped away.
After some bombing and blasting, the mascot who rushed in did not meet with decent resistance, and what caught his eyes was not the corpses and wailing wounded soldiers, or the colored soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, and the eyes of the people who were still alive had long since lost their arrogance, showing the desire for life and the fear of the strong.
Although the feeling of hitting the cotton with a fist is not pleasant, it is a happy thing to be able to die less after all, so everyone did not complain and began to clean up the battlefield. The authentic news couldn't be hidden, and it soon spread to Zifeng's war room.
With the strength of about a brigade of about 1,500 men as George fled eastward, there were still 3,000 defenders in Kra City, and the aftermath was only about 2,000 people, and the situation was not good.
A group of staff officers also thought about this problem, and they were torn between pursuit and aftermath.
Although the battle was won and there were many prisoners, Zifeng was not sure if there were people who knew the secret, and he couldn't afford to gamble.
Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, he spoke: "The marines have worked hard to catch up, and it is only half a day's foot, and they cannot be allowed to flank the aftermath with the defenders of Kra City. Moreover, if the enemy fled in a hurry, he must have traveled lightly, and could cope with even a counterattack. Two more great white sharks were sent to follow, and the leader was captured. ”
Seeing that the Lord was going to make a decision, the rest did not say much, and conveyed the order.
Poor Company Commander Liu and a group of lightly injured brothers who were bandaging had to cheer up and chase after them from the east gate along the main road.
The main general ran away, and the defenders of Dongcheng had no need to defend it, except for the 1,500 people who had run away before, the remaining more than 1,000 people all surrendered, disarmed and locked up in the barracks, guarded by auxiliaries and two groups of vipers.
The natives who had been taken into custody had picked out some useful ones to help the mascot clean up the battlefield, and the rest were still kept alone awaiting disposal.
Everything is carried out according to the steps in the infantry drill code, and although it is complicated and cumbersome, it is better to be safe and effective.
After listening to the aftermath of the explosion in the middle of the night, he finally failed to wait for the defenders to leave the city, and in his frustration, he hoped for the battle in the west, and sent a team of scouts to inquire about the news.
Coincidentally, halfway through the road, they met George's gang who had fled eastward, so they divided into two horses and went back to report the news, while the rest continued to travel west.
A quarter of an hour later, they met the pursuing marines, and learned that it was the leader of the Semu people who had just passed, so they rode back, wanting to deliver the news before the Semu people, so as to prepare early.
The two-legged one is definitely not as fast as the four-legged one, and even if it makes some detours, the news has been transmitted to the aftermath one step earlier.
was annoyed that he didn't fight and laughed darkly, and he came to a pillow when he fell asleep, and God treated him well.
The most commendable thing is that the boss of the Semu people actually sent him this honor dozens of miles away, which is gratifying, he is already thinking about what kind of etiquette to use to 'entertain' him.
At this time, the aftermath was completely different from Liu Liu's worries, as if the other party was not coming with 1,500 soldiers, but 1,500 pigs to be slaughtered, and it could be done in minutes.
Seeing Liu Liu's appearance, Yu Bo smiled and said: "Uncle, the person who came is a deserter, and there will be no baggage, as long as we go out of more than ten miles to ambush, we can fight a battle." Even if the defenders in the city received a letter to help, the war would have already ended, and they would just ambush another wave, for fear that they would become turtles and refuse to come forward. ”
Seeing what Yu Bo said, Liu Liujiao also believed most of it, which was also based on a series of miraculous results before.
This can't be blamed on him, when he was guarding Jixiang City, it was when Jixiang was the weakest, and he was always used to being bullied by Chiyan, and the Jixiang soldiers didn't show the special skills that made him shine.
After Wang Xuan ascended the throne, he led troops to support the Chen territory, which was also a battle to defend the city, and there was no chance of field battle at all.
These were the two largest battles he had ever participated in, and the Jixiang soldiers had grenades as secret weapons at most, and the rest were generic goods, which did not show the combat power of the soldiers.
When the aftermath of the soldiers emerged, gunpowder and artillery had become the bargaining chips that determined the outcome of the war, and it was also when the research institute began to produce results, whether it was defense or attack, it had improved several steps, and the combat power soared and never lost, so it had confidence and morale, and would not put more than 1,000 deserters in its eyes.
This is also the reason why Wang Xuan said that Liu Liu learned how to conduct modern warfare.
The old concepts and ideas can no longer keep up with the changes in the mode of warfare brought about by the development of science and technology.
After learning of the battle ahead, Yu Bo left more than 100 people to stand guard outside the west gate of Kra City, and he led his troops to march eastward, in order to widen the distance between the defenders and the deserters in a short time.
Yu Bo doesn't treat the enemy as a dish, but his intentions are not rough, which is also a prerequisite for the general.
Liu Liu saw that the aftermath was coarse and detailed, and that the command was appropriate, so he was envious and wrote down the entire battle plan and layout process one by one, so that he could refer to it in detail later.
George's plan is very good, there are 1,500 light infantry, combined with the 3,000 defenders of Kra City, it is more than enough to flank and besiege 2,000 auspicious ordinary infantry in front and back.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that even if it is an ordinary army, it is not comparable to the current Semu light infantry, and the time, place, and people are not on the side of the Semu people, so what kind of flanking attack is there to talk about.
The panting aftermath did not have time to rest after reaching its destination, and threw itself into the construction and camouflage of artillery positions, and the rest of the grass was mowed and the branches were broken, all for the sake of camouflage.
While everyone was busy, the scouts came to report that the enemy was about to enter the sight, so everyone hurriedly lurked again.
This is also a good thing, at least the tired soldiers can have a short rest before the battle, which can restore some physical strength and spirit, which is conducive to improving the effect of ambushes.
The tunnels can't be walked, so the Supreme Commander George can only run on two long legs.
It is no secret that there is news of chasing soldiers later, and the team of more than 1,000 people also began to be impetuous, which made George even more anxious, so he encouraged and said: "Kra City is close at hand, the soldiers will work harder, and after attacking the auspicious army, enter the city to have a beautiful meal, and then drink a bowl of auspicious wine, wouldn't it be happy." ”
I don't know if the ambush of the mascot worked, or if the wine worked, or both, but the speed of the procession increased suddenly, and in a short time it was within range of the artillery.
George and the others, who were still dreaming, only had the road under their feet and the silhouette of Kra City in front of them, turning a blind eye to the mascots hiding in the grass on both sides, but the mascot was really well disguised, and the aftermath didn't know where their people were, which could be seen.
In order to prevent accidental damage, the artillery was placed on the north side of the road, and in order to cause more damage, the plan was to open fire at the enemy's ranks, like a knife cutting leeks, and a single shot could create a blank area.
When they got closer, the footsteps of the incoming enemy could be heard clearly, and the grenades in the hands of the soldiers were already ready, but a loud noise was heard in their ears, and the ground shook under them, and the enemy troops in front of them fell in pieces.
Without waiting for the commander to give the order, the soldiers threw out sweat-stained grenades in their hands, which bloomed in patches among the enemy troops.
George was stunned by the blow that fell from the sky, it was not the war he wanted, nor was it the war he could accept.
With just one round of artillery bombardment and three rounds of grenades, the long dragon of 1,500 men broke into countless pieces, like a wall made of sand, which collapsed and scattered when the earthquake came.
After the auspicious soldier turned three rounds of grenades, he rushed forward with a knife, chopping melons and vegetables and ending the wooden man in front of him.
Liu Liu saw that his heart was itching, and when he was about to carry the knife into battle, he was grabbed by Yu Bo's three fingers, and said, "Your Majesty won't let you charge into battle." ”
Liu Liu's enthusiasm cooled down instantly, and he could only watch the brothers fight bravely to kill the enemy, and he could only get by.
"Isn't it going well?"
Seeing Yu Bo asking, Liu Liu smiled embarrassedly, it was indeed too easy.
These lustful people had already been frightened, and at this time, they were ambushed again, and how could the temporary defense line that they had just put together in their hearts withstand such a blow of splitting their heads and covering their faces, and they had already disappeared.
This is different from the picture described by Commander George, how did he become a prey?
After some struggle, the people of color sadly found that they couldn't fight and couldn't run, and they couldn't win, so they could only surrender in the end.
The action was later, and as soon as the hand was raised, it was cut off by the sharp horizontal knife and neck, which was extremely bloody.
The rest still don't learn to behave.
When the Marines arrived, they saw George and the other leaders kneeling at the feet of the aftermath, the corpses had been cleared into a large pit by the roadside, and only the dark red and unspeakable smell of blood on the ground could prove that the battle was one-sided.
"Oh, thank you to the brothers of the Marine Corps for giving us such a heavy gift, and when I go back, I will treat myself to the newly opened three-star restaurant by the Times Bridge, and I will not get drunk or go home. ”
Yu Bo got cheap and behaved, and the smiling appearance made Company Commander Liu and other generals very unhappy, and the battalion commander who led the team said: "Commander Yu, good luck, the brothers have written it down, let's count one of them, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”
"If you don't get drunk, you won't return, if you don't get drunk, what kind of person is our Lao Yu, it's a spittle and a nail, Your Majesty knows it. ”
It's okay not to mention Wang Xuan, but it's even more unhappy to mention Wang Xuan's marines.
Who doesn't know that you Yu Bazhi and Zhang One-Eyed Dragon are fierce generals who followed His Majesty in the Eastern Expedition and Western War, and His Majesty's trust in you is good, but don't always talk about these past achievements, as if others don't know, but the powerful propaganda can make everyone respond.
It's not good to be unhappy, but as a soldier, the military order is in the first place, so the battalion commander asked: "Commander Yu, how are you going to fight this carat city?"
