"No.... It's gone...," the messenger replied.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Li frowned.

The messenger lowered his head, "Chief Hui, the head of the Yan Shi Regiment, and all the five hundred members of the security regiment were martyred!" ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Li felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

"And what about the head of the area?" He continued to ask.

"Yes.... It's Xu Qi, the commander of the infantry regiment! ”

Zhang Li finally found the output port, and spittled and scolded. "So how did he do it? It's only half a day, how long has it been since the war began? But half a day he told me that it was going to fall? ”

The fact that the security regiment can fight into the death of the system shows that it is already very good, and Zhang Li can't force too much, and even has to reward the head of the regiment.

But an infantry regiment almost brought the line to a rout, and this must not be allowed.

"Sir..... But Captain Xu said...."

"Say what?"

"Said that he had done his best, and asked the chief to continue to send additional personnel, otherwise he would have to repay the chief with death."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Li was stunned, and some doubted whether his ears had heard it wrong.

What are you kidding, in less than a morning, things are getting so serious?

This is an infantry regiment, numbering 2,000 men, and it will be difficult to smash it all into it in less than a morning?

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Li's tone softened slightly.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly recounted the latest battle situation.

After listening to this, there was even more silence in the command room.

Miserable!

It's miserable!

A security regiment with a full strength of 500 people held out for half an hour and disappeared as a formation.

The commander of the Xu Qi Infantry Regiment actually did a good job, and quickly sent a support battalion over to top the hole in the defensive line before that.

However, this time it only lasted for half an hour, and the entire battalion disappeared.

The regiment of 2,000 men, with a total of four battalions, had lost one battalion in just half an hour, and the situation was very critical.

Then I couldn't help but say that an infantry battalion was sent to support again, and now that it is fighting, this infantry battalion is almost gone.

It is now the third battalion ready to take on the top.

Hearing this, Zhang Li was already frowning.

"The enemy is so storming at all costs? How many people did they put in? ”

According to the normal casualty ratio of attack and defense, it should be one to two, that is, the attacker should pay at least twice as many manpower, and even in extreme cases, there will be a situation of one to three, one to four, or even one for five.

With their own losses of nearly fifteen hundred, could the enemy have already thrown in a whole regiment to launch a charge?

If this is the case, then this battle will be a big profit, and some will fight.

"Back to the sir, it is estimated that the enemy army will invest about 1,000 people one after another....."

As soon as the messenger said this, there was an uproar in the command room.

A staff officer was a little surprised and said, "The one-to-one battle loss ratio has not been fought, how did this battle be fought?" ”

Zhang Li is also puzzled by this, this Xu Qimo is not a rice bucket?

But now is not the time to reprimand each other, no one is here.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Xu Qi, no matter what, hold on for another half an hour, and change the guard after half an hour!" ”

The messenger was instructed to leave the headquarters quickly, he didn't want to stay with the commanders for half a minute.

As the messenger left, the command was in a state of disarray.

Some people say that this Xu Qi is a rice bucket, and most of them only know how to eat the waste that they want to take the card.

Some of them said that in the end, different departments came to temporarily consolidate the defense line, but they were not as good as their own people.

This Xu Zha, as well as the several infantry regiments lost in front, were actually not the original Chahar garrison, which is not wrong.

It's just that it can't be said that it's a rice bucket at all, Zhang Li has heard from his superiors before.

These infantry regiments, although they are not elite, are also regular troops under the command of the marshal, and they have fought tough battles, but their performance is comparable to that of Li Junzhen.

Li Jun's situation is understandable, after all, he has only fought on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and the number of frontal encounters with cavalry is also very rare.

In addition, it was a snowstorm that day, and it was a night raid, or a battle in the wilderness, which is understandable.

But this pure siege battle is so ugly, it is really rare.

No matter how Zhang Li thought about it, he felt that the casualties should not be like this, and the machine gun muzzles at the city wall were dumb and fired?

Don't you have to pay for the enemy's touch?

If you count the results of the machine-gun fire, the enemy threw in a thousand men, and in fact, the battle loss ratio of the two armies in the battle for the city wall was even more terrible.

It may not be just one to two, but to the point of one to three, or even one to four.

But how is this possible?

A team that has only been formed for a year....

"Look at this, the enemy is trying to take the city in one go, what should you do now? Can anyone tell me who to send next? ”

Zhang Li took a few breaths, trying to calm down as much as possible and looked around.

The staff officers gradually stopped talking and began to think silently.

Once Wucheng really falls, they will still be alive, and most of them will either be shot or dismissed.

After a little discussion, Chief of Staff He still stood up and suggested,

"Sir, for the sake of today's plan, we must send an army that can really fight and dare to fight, and at least kill the enemy's spirit.

Judging from the current situation of our army, the only two cavalry regiments left in the city are the most capable of fighting.....

Although the cavalry regiment is also extremely good at foot combat, it is a pity to waste it here for defending the city. So...."

Saying that, Staff Officer He glanced at the other staff officers, and then continued,

"It is suggested that Regiment Commander Li Jun and Li be reactivated, and let him transfer the patrol police in the city plus the only two remaining security columns to form a regiment to join the defense, and temporarily take turns for Regiment Commander Xu to rest."

Hearing this, Zhang Li's brows were already twisted.

"Chief of Staff He, didn't you say that you want to kill the enemy's sharp spirit? This is what you call killing and killing? ”

The army of more than 1,000 patrol officers plus two security columns does not need to think about it to know that it is the same as the previous security regiment of the Yan Shi Regiment.

"But sir, we don't have many infantry units at our disposal right now, do we?" Staff Officer He spread his hands helplessly.

He would have liked to send more men, but where else would there be more manpower in the city?

Previously, in response to the call of the commander, it was not only the cavalry division that was transferred, but also the four most elite infantry regiments.

Well, now the infantry regiment has been replenished, but it is obviously the second-rate troops in the local area that have been replenished.

It is a little stronger than the security corps, but it is also limited in strength.

Zhang Li also knew that this was the case, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Then restart Li Jun and let him quickly prepare for battle."

In addition, a cavalry battalion was sent to participate in the defense, and if the situation was not good, it would be quickly put on top.

Anyway, today! We can't afford to lose today! ”

Zhang Li was also ruthless, and the cavalry division was his baby bump, but now he couldn't care about it.
