Chapter 43: The Battle of the Red Mountain Ends

After Ouyang led his troops to victory in the Battle of Qimen Valley, he ordered a battalion to temporarily rest.

"Battalion commander, why are we resting?"

"Although it's already dark, but since the Tiger Camp of the Frost Army has been broken by us, then we should take advantage of the victory to pursue it now and immediately move towards the Red Mountain Battlefield!" Deputy battalion commander Cheng Dabai spoke.

Cheng Dabai's suggestion was supported by the commander of the second and third companies.

They all think that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue!

Second Company Commander: "The 29th Division on the Red Mountain Battlefield is now in danger, and we need to go!" ”

Third Company Commander: "Yes, battalion commander, your capable brothers have seen it, I believe that as long as we arrive at the Red Mountain battlefield, our first battalion will definitely be able to make immortal achievements!" ”

Miracles?

"Huh!"

Ouyang laughed self-deprecatingly.

They think too highly of themselves!

At present, there are less than 200 officers and soldiers left in the next battalion, and all of them are wounded, with such a lineup, even if it reaches the Hongshan battlefield, how much role can it play?

There are no soldiers in his hands, even if Ouyang has the ability to turn the sky upside down, it is blind!

The Red Mountain Battlefield is a flesh-and-blood battlefield with nearly 80,000 troops on both sides!

It was a huge meat grinder, and the remaining less than 200 people of the first battalion were thrown into it, and I was afraid that it would not even make a splash!

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, since I am the battalion commander, then all military operations are up to me, you just have to rest." Ouyang cut the railway.

At this moment, whether it was the deputy battalion commander Cheng Dabai or the other soldiers of the first battalion, they did not understand Ouyang's order.

But in the end, they still couldn't refute Ouyang.

11 p.m.

Ouyang sat on a high ground, staring blankly at the bright moon.

At this time, Dai Anlan walked over.

Dai Anlan said lightly: "Battalion commander, aren't you sleeping yet?" ”

"Hmm!"

Ouyang nodded and said, "With the current war on the Red Mountain Battlefield, which is bound to be lost, how can I sleep?" ”

Sure to lose?

Immediately, Dai Anlan was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "I thought that only I could see it, but I didn't expect you to see it too." ”

Ouyang shook his head and said, "Why don't you and I understand this? ”

"Xue Dingbei, the commander of the Independent Brigade, and Yong Jian, the commander of the 29th Division, which of them don't understand, although they are still resisting at the moment, they are just unwilling."

In fact, the fuse of this large-scale battle that broke out in the north of Qingchuan was actually a war launched by Huangfu Longma, commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the pretext that he was attacked by the frost army at the beginning of his tenure, Huangfu Ryoma brazenly decided to launch a large-scale battle. Deputy Commander Jia Renyi had the heart to refuse, but in the face of Huangfu Longma's toughness and the excuse for assassination, he was helpless.

As a result, the battle broke out that affected the entire southern and central areas of Qingchuan!

Through this battle, Huangfu Ryoma quickly grasped most of the military power of the group army, and swept away the military power of the frost army in the central and southern regions of Qingchuan.

The Frost Army suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to choose a head-on decisive battle!

Subsequently, the Battle of Red Mountain, which swept through the north of Qingchuan, broke out!

The Frost Army gathered more than 50,000 troops and brazenly launched an attack on the 29th Division of our Tang Army stationed in Yinshan City.

The 29th Division fought alone and did not prepare for battle in a timely manner, which led to repeated deterioration of the situation. Later, although there was the rescue of Xue Dingbei's independent brigade, it could not recover the decline of the Red Mountain battlefield.

The next day.

That is, in the year 198 of the Gregorian calendar, July 28, at 6 p.m.

The Independent Brigade of the 12th Army of the Tang Army, on the left and right flanks of Yinshan City, successfully tore through the encirclement of the Frost Army and completed the convergence with the 29th Division.

So the commander of the 29th Division, Yong Jian, decided: "I, the 29th Division and the Independent Brigade, are ready to launch a counterattack against the Frost Army tomorrow morning!" ”

The commander of the Independent Brigade nodded in agreement.

At 9 o'clock in the evening of the same day, Ouyang led the remnants of a battalion and also arrived at the Hongshan battlefield and was under the command of the 158th Regiment.

~~~~

July 29th.

Around 8 a.m.

Our Tang army launched a counterattack, ready to defeat the frost army in one go!

But the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel!

The battle situation did not go on as planned, and a decisive advantage was achieved, but because of the fierce fighting in the past few days, the fighting spirit of our Tang army was greatly reduced, and the situation deteriorated further.

Although we did not lose our positions again, the casualties of our troops continued to increase.

"Damn!"

"Damn, what about the reinforcements of our army group?"

"I don't believe it, the group army really can't be transferred by a single soldier!"

"This is the conspiracy of Huangfu Lao'er at all, he is borrowing the hands of the frost army to eliminate dissidents!"

The commander of the Independent Brigade, Xue Dingbei, was unwilling!

The commander of the 29th Division, Yong Jian, was not reconciled!

The officers and men of the entire Independent Brigade and the 29th Division were full of resentment!

But what can they do?

The reason given by Huangfu Longma is too sufficient, "At present, the main force of the group army is fighting a decisive battle with the frost army in the southern and central regions of Qingchuan, and it has entered the most critical period, where can I send troops to the north of Qingchuan?" ”

Huangfu Longma did not send troops, so the two of them, Yongjian and Xue Dingbei, immediately asked for help from their upper peak again, that is, the deputy commander Jia Renyi.

Although Jia Renyi is the deputy commander, his descendants only have the 29th Division and the Independent Brigade, where does he have troops to send at the moment?

"Made, there are no reinforcements, how can we hold Silver Mountain City?"

The commander of the 29th Division, Yong Jian, said resentfully.

"Humph!"

Xue Dingbei, the commander of the Independent Brigade, snorted coldly: "If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, is it possible to give up all the huge northern Qingchuan to the Frost Army?" ”

If there are no reinforcements inside and a strong enemy outside, how can they hold it?

For a time, the officers and men of the 29th Division and the Independent Brigade, although they were still resisting, their morale was greatly reduced!

Can't hold it!

Ouyang said coldly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. The loss of fighting for a city and a place is inferior at the moment, and in the end it can only be the loss of people and land! ”

Dai Anlan said in a deep voice: "The defeat has appeared, if the Frost Army invests troops again, then our Tang Army can only usher in a defeat, so I also think that retreating now is the best choice!" ”

Fall back?

From a military point of view, Ouyang and Dai Anlan both believed that this was the best and only choice at present, but the commander of the 29th Division, Xue Dingbei, the commander of the Independent Brigade, or Jia Renyi, the deputy commander of the group army in Maoling, were unwilling to retreat.

Because once they evacuate the northern part of Qingchuan, it means that they will no longer be qualified to fight with Huangfu Longma in the game of group army power!

Deputy Commander Jia Renyi is unwilling!

~~~~

Then two days passed, and the Tang army was still resisting, but in the face of the frost army with a large number of troops, it could only passively fight back.

The situation is getting worse and worse.

July 30, 8 a.m.

Shocking news is coming!

The Frost Army suddenly transferred 100,000 troops from its country and entered the northern part of Qingchuan!

For a time, the strength of the Frost Army on the Red Mountain Battlefield already numbered 150,000. On the other hand, our Tang Army, all its strength is combined, and there are only less than 20,000 people!

The victory or defeat has been decided, and there is no power to return to heaven!

~~~~

31 July, 1 p.m.

The Tang Army in the north of Qingchuan is fully retreating!

This retreat means that 4 prefecture-level cities, 48 counties, 192 townships, more than 600 villages, and 100,000 square kilometers of land in the northern part of Qingchuan Province have all fallen!

1.7 million people of the Tang Dynasty have become the people under the rule of the Frost Army!
