Chapter 531: This Is Defeated?
"Back to sir, this is a telegram from Chongli and Zhangbei respectively! Just now, they were attacked by a fierce enemy.
According to intelligence feedback, the number of enemy troops is not very large, only the number of two cavalry regiments, but there is a lot of heavy firepower.
The situation of the two lines of defense is very critical! ”
The telegraph operator was also calmed down, but as he finished the long list of messages in an orderly manner, the atmosphere in the room froze to the extreme.
No one thought that why Guyuan was attacked today, and how Chongli and Zhang Bei were also attacked at the same time.
The enemy's advance was inevitably too fast.
"The commander thinks this is strange, normally it is impossible for the enemy to attack so quickly, I suspect that this is the enemy's strategy of dividing the army.
With two cavalry regiments as a fast attack, the attack and defense were carried out quickly in a short time.
The deployment of our troops in Chongli and Zhangbei was very weak, and the combined strength of the two places was only one battalion, and there was not much heavy firepower.
But relying on the advantages of the building, it was no problem to hold off their cavalry for a day.
In fact, this is in our favor, and they reveal the direction of their forces early.
It's just that they are all cavalry, and the offensive caused by it at first is very fast, but it is not so simple to attack! ”
Chief of Staff He carefully analyzed it, and his remarks were also recognized by a group of officers and staff officers.
Yes, how fast is this offensive? As long as you can't break the city, you, the cavalry, can only come and scare people.
As for the news that the enemy army has an artillery battalion, it is also selling sources.
The artillery battalion is different from the cavalry unit, and the speed of the battle is not so fast, even if it has horsepower as a hauler, it cannot be fast.
"Well, Staff Officer He is right, since the enemy forces are moving so quickly, it is obvious that there is no artillery support except for the necessary light and heavy firepower.
If you want to take Chongli with this firepower, it is not so simple in Zhangbei and Zhangbei. ”
Zhang Li also calmed down, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"In this way, as long as our reinforcements arrive in time, we will definitely be able to kill the other party by surprise! Ordered to send two more cavalry regiments, and hurried to the front line to assist the infantry regiment in support.
Let's take these two enemy cavalry units in one go! ”
"It's sir!"
Hearing this, the two commanders of the cavalry regiment stood up and saluted, and immediately hurriedly walked towards the outside of the headquarters.
After doing this, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was almost confused by the other party's hammer in the east and mallet in the west.
Come to think of it, what is he afraid of?
The enemy did not even want to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but continued to advance the battle line in a hurry for quick success.
Originally, the enemy's cavalry strength was superior, and a cavalry division of tens of thousands of people was not a small-scale cavalry unit.
The other party can rely on the advantage of cavalry mobility to send reinforcements at the Guyuan encirclement point, constantly attacking the reinforcements he Zhang Li dispatched in the past, and even attacking its logistics and transportation lines.
After all, the distance from Zhangjiakou to Guyuan is still relatively long, more than 150 kilometers, and it is impossible without supplies.
But the other party simply pushed the battle line to Chongli and Zhangbei.
The distance between these two places is only about 50 kilometers, and if the cavalry rushes, they can travel quickly in less than a day.
The infantry regiment marched hastily and could reach the front early tomorrow morning.
Just as Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief, there was soon a sound of hurried footsteps.
At this moment, Zhang Li felt a pain in his brain.
Now he was a little distraught when he heard the hurried footsteps.
"What's going on again?"
Zhang Li turned his head impatiently, but he was dumbfounded as soon as the words fell.
I saw a young man standing at the door of the headquarters with his hands on his knees, his face covered with dust and blood.
The other party kept gasping, and the people around him didn't urge for a while.
Everyone is pinching their hearts, is there something big going on?
"Long.... Sir.... Captain Ishinamata has seen .... Every.... Ladies and gentlemen.... I also asked the commanders to send reinforcements, and our army suffered heavy casualties!! ”
The captain gritted his teeth, and when he looked up, his eyes were red, and he could faintly see the slightest sparkling in his eyes. The eyes that looked at the crowd were full of supplication and despair.
"What the hell is going on? Whose soldier are you? What about your sir? Zhang Li asked three times in a row.
I was a little inexplicably panicked, and it was only a day before the battle started, but the twists and turns made him feel very bottomless.
This has never been the case in a war before! Fast! It's so fast!
"Sir, I am serving under the commander of the Third Cavalry Corps and the Second Battalion Zhang Zhi!"
"Where's your battalion commander?"
"Dead in battle! At present, the deputy battalion commander is temporarily in charge, and the brothers of the infantry regiment are engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy, but the battle line is defeated.
Battle! That's not how it was fought at all! Humble has never seen this situation before, the other party is too fast! It's so fast!
Before our army has a firm foothold, the enemy army has already been killed, and they are all crazy! Lunatic!
In just one effort, our army was chiseled through, the cavalry could not find the commander, the infantry could not find the commander, everyone fought on their own, and they were all in chaos, and they were all in chaos.
Can't beat it at all! Can't beat it! ”
The lieutenant seemed to be a little overly emotional, and his speech began to be reversed.
But some of his words still shocked everyone, the third cavalry regiment and the second battalion, isn't this the cavalry unit that was sent to escort supplies with the infantry regiment before?
It's only been so long since this was pulled out, why did it fail?
What's more, how could the enemy army be so fast? Zhangbei and Chongli have been broken?
"Don't be in a hurry to speak slowly!"
Zhang Li rubbed his eyebrows, his heart was already annoyed, but he was still careful to comfort the soldiers.
It took about a few minutes for the soldier to settle down.
But as he described the follow-up content, everyone couldn't help but gasp again.
It was indeed attacked.
The first half of the journey to Zhangbei and Chongli did not need to divide the troops, and the enemy came with a wave of onslaught just as the two sides were about to separate and hurry.
According to the soldier's description, the other party was well prepared and launched a surprise attack directly in the woods at the fork in the road, and it was clear that this cavalry had come earlier than them, and had been in ambush for a while.
There was a faint fire reinforcement company as a fire suppression, and the enemy launched a massive cavalry charge with the strength of a cavalry regiment.
The opponent's combat capability is very fast and fast, and it is even more efficient in executing orders.
The five infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment sent out by Zhang Li were cut off at the first time.
It was too abrupt, the speed of the other party's execution was too fast, and the division of labor was very clear, and the army began to riot in just one face.
It didn't take long for the confrontation to erode the situation.
In addition, the sky was getting dark, and the other party seemed to have a large number of grenades, and the situation was instantly disrupted.
When this soldier retreated, the situation was almost chaotic, not to mention the establishment of a temporary staff headquarters, it would be good if it could be stabilized.
And the cavalry battalion, which was responsible for maneuvering, was meant to swim.
But this time, their task was to be responsible for escorting supplies, and when they removed the materials and fought with the enemy, they had already entered the most brutal white-knuckle combat link in a short distance.
As a result, the situation was once again unexpected, and this enemy army was unexpectedly skilled in white-knuckle combat.
No! It should be said that it is old and spicy, and it seems that they are all veterans who have been operating this road for many years.
