Chapter 241: Patton's First Defeat
In the Burning Stone Valley area, the Tang Army Guard Battalion was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and the Rao is Guard Battalion was the most elite battalion of the 512th Regiment.
In less than 3 minutes, the casualties of the guard battalion were nearly 100 people!
This is the carelessness of the enemy!
"Damn it!"
Patton burst out: "Soldiers, immediately organize a counterattack in the form of a squad!" ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
The soldiers were beaten, but Barton could not lose his composure, otherwise the more than 400 people in the guard battalion would have suffered heavy casualties if they did not explain all of them here. Once upon a time, even on the battlefield of the Lanlong Kingdom, the guard battalion had never suffered such huge casualties in just 3 minutes.
This is the first battle between our new Ninth Brigade and the Jin Army!
Definitely can't be so embarrassing!
Counterattack!
We're going to fight back!
The soldiers of the 512 Regiment Guard Battalion are all soldiers who fought from Qingbei to the Lanlong Kingdom, and from the Lanlong Kingdom to Qingchuan, they are battle-hardened soldiers, and after a short period of stunned, the soldiers of the Tang Army Guard Battalion are mighty!
Immediately in the form of a team, began to organize a counterattack.
The guard battalion marched in a hurry, although it did not carry heavy firepower, but the number of grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns was really a lot, comparable to a regiment of the Jin army!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The grenadier is powerful!
Light and heavy machine guns in unison!
The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army Guard Battalion, who reacted, immediately poured their ferocious firepower towards the Jin troops who were charging down from the heights on both sides!
"Da Da Da!"
Light and heavy machine guns and rifles, the bullets fired burst the heads and bodies of the Jin soldiers one by one, and strings of blood flew countless in an instant.
"A small ambush, it can't bring us to its knees!" Barton gritted his teeth.
I have to say that Patton's ferocity in danger has added a lot of fighting spirit to the soldiers, which is the gap between ordinary commanders and excellent commanders.
For a time, the Tang army, which had been in chaos before, withstood the rout in just a few minutes with its fighting spirit and amazing combat effectiveness, and with sophisticated weapons and equipment, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and the Jin army that charged down on both sides of the valley suffered heavy casualties.
"Humph!"
The commander who commanded the battle of the Jin army on the hill on the left side, watched his own soldiers continue to fall, his face suddenly sank like water, and he let out a cold snort.
"The officers and soldiers of the New Ninth Brigade of the Tang Army are really extraordinary!"
Suddenly encountering an ambush, hundreds more were taken in and poured out, and hundreds of soldiers launched a ferocious attack, which would have been defeated if it had been a normal team. But the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion of the 512th Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade are not ordinary soldiers!
They are all battle-hardened warriors!
Anyone will panic when they encounter a sudden ambush, but the troops with high combat literacy will abandon all the panicked emotions in the shortest possible time, and then launch a fierce counterattack!
The 512 regimental guard battalion has such capabilities!
"Humph!"
The commander of the Jin army snorted coldly: "What about the elite soldiers? And what about being well-armed? I don't believe I can't destroy you today! ”
At that moment, the commander of the Jin army quickly issued a series of orders, determined to inflict a heavy blow on the Tang army guards here!
~~~~
"Battalion commander, the momentum of the enemy's charge has weakened, our troops should rush forward, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, to teach the Jin army a painful lesson, and to avenge the sacrificed brothers!" A Tang Army company commander said to Patton.
However, Barton rejected his offer!
"Why?"
The company commander of the Tang Army was puzzled.
At that moment, Patton did not have time to explain, but made a decision that shocked all the soldiers in the guard battalion.
- Retreat!
The whole battalion quickly evacuated from this place!
This was Patton's order, and although the soldiers were extremely unwilling and incomprehensible, they still carried out the order without hesitation. Soon, the remaining less than 300 soldiers of the guard battalion, under the incomprehensible eyes of the Jin officers and soldiers, calmly left and retreated to the depths of Mangdang Mountain.
"This, this, this~~~!"
A Jin army squad leader's surprised eyes burst out.
"Damn, why did the Tang army retreat?" Another Jin army squadron leader was quite resentful.
They weakened their offensive posture in order to take advantage of the anger of the Tang army and attract the Tang army to attack the mountain.
You must know that in the course of the battle, the side that occupies the commanding heights will definitely have a great advantage over the side in the valley, and the effect of its firepower output river killing will be much better.
But they never expected that the Tang Army would take the initiative to retreat!
Moreover, the speed of the Tang army's retreat was not ordinarily fast, and in a few blinks of an eye, it ran away.
"Damn Tang Manzi, he killed hundreds of our brothers, and he wants to leave, but there is no door!"
A Jin army squadron leader burst into applause, and immediately prepared to lead his troops in pursuit, but was stopped by his superiors.
"Your Excellency, why don't we pursue it?" The Jin Army Squadron Leader gritted his teeth and said.
His question was also the question of all the Jin officers and soldiers present.
"Huh!"
The commander of the Jin army sneered: "Are you all stupid guys? Our troops have not been able to break their psychological defenses in the face of favorable terrain, and now if we abandon this terrain and attack it, have you thought about the consequences? ”
"This, this, this~~~!"
Suddenly, the Jin Army Squadron Leader was speechless.
The commander of the Jin army squinted his eyes, looked at the direction of the Tang army's departure from a distance, and said coldly: "If you are defeated and attack, you will retreat when you gain momentum, so you will know how to advance and retreat." This commander of the battalion of the Don Army is definitely not a simple guy! ”
After a pause, he looked at everyone and said, "If our army pursues it now, it will definitely be killed by the Tang army!" ”
For a while, the other people present were also stunned, and no one said anything after them.
Not much.
The officers and men of the Tang Army's guard battalion, which had completely evacuated the boundary of the Burning Rock Valley, stopped retreating under Patton's order, and instead lined up on the spot, preparing to counterattack.
"Jin Jun, these rabbit cubs, as long as you dare to chase them, Lao Tzu will keep them and kill you!" Barton said viciously, and lit a cigarette after saying that.
But.
Who knew that when someone was sent to investigate, they found that the Jin army that was still in the Burning Stone Valley just now had all withdrawn.
Hearing this, Barton was immediately stunned, and then his face became solemn, "I didn't expect that among the Jin army, there are also many capable people." ”
"Battalion commander, what should we do now?" A platoon commander of the Tang Army asked.
Patton said: "The Jin army is now ready, and with our remaining less than 250 men, even if we rush to Shunhe Town, it will not play much role, so we are now resting here and waiting for the main force of the regimental headquarters." ”
"Yes!" Everyone nodded yes.
suffered a defeat in the first battle, and although the soldiers did not say anything, they were also extremely uncomfortable. In just one hour, more than 150 officers and men of the guard battalion were sacrificed, and dozens of officers and men were seriously injured.
The soldiers are not reconciled, so how can Patton be willing?
Barton smoked a cigarette, puffing on the smoke, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. The battle of Maoling Pier made him famous in the first battle. He was promoted several levels and promoted to battalion commander in one day, which attracted many people's criticism and doubts, so he was eager to prove himself.
And today's eagerness to win made him suffer a defeat!
