Chapter Thirty-Six: A Hundredfold Change!
The battle in the camp was thrown from a grenade and was doomed.
The cavalry slaughtered them all, and the revolver did not fire a few shots, most of them were slashed with knives. The incident happened in a hurry, and it was unprepared, and he also carried out a dimensionality reduction attack, and the typhoon shelter with a radius of several hundred meters was controlled by the cavalry in just half an hour.
The sappers did not even need to re-bury the barbed wire, but directly crossed the defense line, turned around and re-fortified, and the original offensive defense line became a defensive line. At that time, in order to avoid being escaped by the target in the pond, a tight siege was deliberately encircled, and in the same way, now the enemy's reinforcements must first cross this barbed wire fence if they want to rush in.
When the musketeers changed positions, sappers entered the field to assist the cavalry in collecting prisoners and caring for the wounded. This time, there were finally casualties, after all, it is a bandit nation that grew up on horseback, and there is no shortage of blood. Three horsemen were shot off their horses and suffered injuries of varying severity, the most serious of which was a broken leg, and the remaining two were just a little dizzy from falling.
Hermes-Epitek were screened out and organized to help sort out supplies and soothe panicked cattle running around in the pens.
It took at least an hour from the horn and the pillar of smoke for the resistance in the shelter to disappear completely, and the reinforcements from the message arrived slowly.
Seeing that the pillar of smoke in the typhoon shelter was gradually extinguished, the reinforcements blew the horn several times in a row, but there was no response in the typhoon shelter.
Toothless put down the binoculars and was a little dissatisfied: "There are more than a hundred people, and there are not enough people to stuff their teeth!" ”
Hearing this, the black face mocked: "These people are like you, they are rats, and if they smell the wrong news, they will run away as soon as possible." We are infantrymen, and we have horses, and we can't catch up with them when we run. You're happy with a row of guns, but what's the use of people running away? Gotta find a way to keep all of them! ”
"So what do you say?"
"The master said, you are responsible for this command, he himself will not interfere, where am I so big face, dare to rob your command."
"Not convinced? Next time, use snacks and ask your brothers to help you increase your face. If you want to gamble and lose, you can't afford to lose, right? ”
"Serve! How are you not convinced, please give the commander an order! ”
"Hehe...... "Hehe" the toothless monster laughed a few times: "Order down, don't shoot, let these Tartars come closer, and wait for them to cross the barbed wire, and our bayonets will be red!" Didn't they all brag and say that they didn't enjoy it last time? This time, let's see the blood! ”
A barrage of commands rang out in the ranks: "Get on the bayonet!" ”
Ten minutes later, the Tartar reinforcements couldn't hold back their anxiety and rushed over on horseback.
It is no accident that those barbed wire fences that are difficult to find with the naked eye have become a nightmare for cavalry, and the people roared and neighed in chaos, and more than 100 horsemen lined up dozens of meters wide were directly thrown into lame and stupid, and only a few lucky ones passed through the reserved passage. They were greeted by bayonets from the snow.
More than a hundred horsemen didn't even bubble up, and the battle was over. However, there were a few guys who were strained during the charge, and they controlled the reins of the horses in time, and when they saw this scene, they turned around and ran away in fright.
Toothless gave the order to fire, and gunshots rang out like popping beans, but a dozen or so horsemen were attacked by concentrated fire, and even men and horses fell to the ground with a bang.
The guys who fell into the barbed wire array, seeing this terrible firearm, the courage to resist disappeared immediately, and one by one they buried their heads and pretended to be dead, wishing that their opponents could not see themselves.
The warm winter sun is overhead, and the battlefield in the typhoon shelter is cleaned. With the help of those Han people, the sappers uprooted more than 100 tents, and the Tatar carts directly removed the wheels and made sleds.
The captives witnessed the murderous musketeers, and after the treatment of the wounded was to mend the knives, one by one they became conscious, and they vied to say that they could still move, and that the little wound was not okay.
The sappers guarded the prisoners and dug pits to bury their bodies, and the cavalry, after a half-day rest, attacked again and took the small tribe where the reinforcements were stationed. Before sunset, the tribesmen over there were also gathered into the typhoon shelter.
According to the results of the battle, more than 320 enemies were annihilated, more than 1,200 were captured, and 146 Han people were recovered. More than 80 military tents, more than 100 civilian tents, and more than 6,000 large and small livestock were seized.
Casualties at home, three cavalrymen fell off their horses and were wounded, one of them suffered a fracture and lost combat effectiveness, and the other two had recovered after half a day's rest. Two musketeers were killed and a dozen wounded, most of them due to being overwhelmed and entangled by the opponent's men or horses during the encounter with the enemy's men.
The toothless face is green. After a month of fighting, the first death occurred under his command. He knows his master's temper, and in this person's eyes, his family's life always comes first.
Obviously, you can attack without injury, but in order to expand the results of the battle, it turns out like this. There was no excitement at all about winning the battle, but he was even more worried that he would be punished by the master.
According to Sun Zheng's requirements before his departure, the main purpose of this set of operations was to verify the actual combat application of various equipment and training subjects. After a night of recuperation, all the camps returned to the south.
It is difficult for the Tatars to change places in snowy days, especially in large cars. Now it's all sleds, and as long as the animals can walk, these things can be easily towed.
All the way back to Guyuan, Sun Zheng didn't speak, pulling his face and being silent the whole time. The atmosphere of the entire Sun camp was extremely depressing, and it was originally an initiative to win a big victory, but now no one mentioned anything to celebrate, and they were careful one by one, lest they cause the anger of thousands of households.
With captives and cattle and sheep and other livestock, it took more than ten days to return to Guyuan. On the way, he didn't encounter any enemies to harass him, which made Sun Zheng, who was already holding back his stomach, more and more unhappy, and everyone felt unpleasant.
But it's no wonder that people are Tatars, the winter is so cold, and it often snows, which neuropathy spends all day outside. Even if a few fish slipped through the net and ran to report it, it was not necessarily believed by anyone. The Ming army took the initiative to attack on the grassland in winter? It is more credible to say that it was struck by winter thunder. As for the disappearance of several tribes, it is not a problem at all for the nomads of the steppe.
When crossing the Great Wall, many Tatar herdsmen were afraid to escape, but Sun Zheng pulled them out, and shot them on the spot with 300 people who were usually not very obedient.
This public execution completely shocked the captives who were about to move, and they did not dare to make the slightest change halfway thereafter.
When Qin Hong received the battle report, he was quite happy, and even wanted to go to greet him in person, but he heard that he killed 300 prisoners on the edge of the Great Wall, and almost fell ill with the old man's anger, and scolded his mother in the yamen of the prison army for a few days, and then did not mention the matter of welcoming the suburbs.
On the third day back at Xiaohewan Camp, it was a rare day of good weather and clear skies.
The whole Xiaohewan is solemn, the small hillside of the east three miles, the martyr's cemetery personally selected by Sun Zheng, has built a garden gate, set up a simple mourning hall, and the three tombs are ready, waiting for the sleepers to be buried.
In the end, the conditions were limited, and despite Sun Zheng's guidance, there was still a wounded person who could not survive the infection and died on the way back. This is also the reason why Sun Zheng made up 300 when he disposed of prisoners of war.
The life of the family is exchanged for a hundred times by the enemy! This is the value that Sun Zheng preaches to his subordinates with his actions.
Qin Hong also got the news, and led his guards and a few generals to watch the ceremony early. It has not yet thawed, and many idle farmers have also heard the news and come to see the excitement, and the entire small river bay is surrounded by water.
From the cemetery of the station, there were already soldiers from Sun Ying's sentry along the way, one by one with loaded guns and ammunition, with solemn faces, standing in two rows like tree stumps.
Sun Ying's military uniform was designed and made by Sun Zheng in imitation of the German military uniform of World War II. In these days, how can people have any concept of slim clothing, and this military uniform is naturally very eye-catching.
Zhu Ding was very red-eyed: "Look at other people's clothes, it's really handsome!" Hey, why do I look different from the one I wore the other day? There are also many buttons, and the hats are not the same. ”
Cheng Qimenqing, who was fooling around in Xiaohewan all day long, popularized science in an envious tone: "This is a dress!" The big-headed soldiers also have dresses, which are more generous than my brocade guards and hundreds of households! Wear a training uniform and a cotton hat during training. When fighting, he wore combat uniforms and steel helmets. The gown was accompanied by a large cap with a flat top and brim. I heard them say that the brim of this hat is made of horn and tortoiseshell, and that this hat alone is worth three taels of silver! It's worth more than my father's three-rank official hat. ”
Cheng Minzheng snorted and didn't speak, he was already completely desperate for this son and completely let go.
Qin Hong looked carefully: "Is this a shaved hair?" ”
Cheng Qi said: "Yes, I don't know what ecstasy soup Sun Qianhu poured into them, and the people in their Sun camp were shaved into hairy eggs from top to bottom." Not to mention, it looks good in this hat. ”
Zhu Ding explained: "The supervising army has long said that sergeants are not in order to be in internal affairs and are prone to illness. Especially this long hair, it is not easy to take care of, and it loves to recruit fleas, and in wartime, it is often sweaty profusely if it is not washed for several days, which affects morale and drags down combat effectiveness. Therefore, shaving was promoted, and he was the first to take the lead in shaving. ”
Cheng Minzheng didn't understand: "If the body is skinned, how can it be lightly destroyed by the parents?" And those sergeants can let him shave his head? ”
Zhu Ding said: "They are all soldiers, they can live without their lives, let alone hair?" ”
At this time, several horns sounded, there was a commotion in the garrison, and a group of soldiers slowly walked out of the camp gate in a neat line.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, look at this soldier, how handsome!
