The option of the 247 Fourth Infantry Brigade
"The only way at the moment is to use the Fourth Brigade which is under recuperation. If there is a company, use a company, and if there is a platoon, use a platoon. Zhang Qing thought for a while and said.
"You're crazy. This would have completely crushed the 4th Infantry Brigade. When Lao Mu heard this, he immediately retorted. He knew too well what the situation was with the Fourth Brigade. The rest of them are seeds. If all the seeds are wiped out at once, the Fourth Brigade will not be able to build.
"But, we don't have any reserves." Zhang Qing said anxiously.
"Then you can't use the Fourth Brigade either, the Fourth Brigade will only have seeds left. You've run out of seeds. What else will the Fourth Brigade use to build the army? Lao Mu also said in a hurry. The Fourth Brigade was left with only those men. The total number of people who have been added in is less than 800 people, what do you think about this little person, to block such a big opening. Lao Mudu felt that it was impossible, and he would not do it, which was undoubtedly equivalent to completely destroying the Fourth Infantry Brigade.
"I also know, but, the new army of the West Garden, we should consider the overall situation. If the new army in Xiyuan runs away, what kind of impact will it have on the overall situation, if we don't take out the fourth brigade to fight hard at this time, the fourth brigade will not be able to become the fourth brigade. Zhang Qing said.
Lao Mu did not answer. He just looked at the direction of the Xiyuan New Army in the distance, and behind him was Yang Village, Yang Village Defense Battle, Yang Village Assault Battle, and the 323rd Regiment almost didn't have many people left. The same is true of the militia in Yang village. There were very few people who could survive, most of them were wounded, and in such a situation, let this newly formed 4th Infantry Brigade do such a thing. Lao Mu couldn't make up his mind, because all he thought about was corpses all over the ground.
"Their efforts are too heavy." Lao Mu sighed and said. He felt that the losses of the 4th Infantry Brigade were too heavy. In the face of such a loss, he really didn't dare to give such an order.
"Why don't we let the Fourth Infantry Brigade think about it?" Zhang Qing asked.
"Okay, okay." Lao Mu knew that the order was very important, and he was very helpless to do such a thing when he gave such an order, in short, many things he was unwilling to do, after all, such things still had a great impact on them.
2nd Infantry Brigade to the North. Nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Red Turban Army came over in a mighty manner.
"Kill, kill." The deafening shouts of killing were heard, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and those shouts made the soldiers of the Northern Army who surrendered very frightened. In order to save their lives, they could only surrender with their hands held high.
But the Red Turban soldiers rushed past them and thrust hard into the northern army's buttocks. The first feeling of the captives of the Northern Army was that they were defeated. Utterly defeated.
Many of the captives could not find their commanders, and their commanders could not find their soldiers, and they were bewildered by the Red Turbans. In such a situation, they have no choice but to surrender.
"Kill. Kill. "The shouts of killing were deafening. Like a red tide, it will completely submerge the Northern Army.
"The morale of the 2nd Infantry Brigade is very high, and we have captured a very large number of prisoners, so many that they are frightening, and almost many of them have surrendered in formation." Jia Xu said.
"We must send out military police patrols, pay attention not to kill prisoners, educate the prisoners, let them have a new understanding, we welcome those who join the Red Turban Army, and those who are willing to take root here, we must give them land, explain our policies, and we must not tolerate those who violate the law and commit crimes." Shang Wu said.
"These are already being done." Jia Xu said.
"However, there was bad news from Lao Mu's side, a few hours ago. The New Army of the West Park opened a gap in the north. They are breaking through from there, and the bad thing is that there are no reserves left on Lao Mu's side. This situation. It's not good. Jia Xu said.
"Well, you think they'll run away from the place when they open such a gap?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.
"Changshan County, there is the only place where there are officers and soldiers. However, they had to climb over the Taihang Mountains before they could enter Bingzhou, where they were protected by the Bingzhou army, which was a border army and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. We're tired. If Jia Xu fights, if the state army comes over, it will be very unfavorable to us. Jia Xu said.
"Then let Lao Mu plug the gap as soon as possible and start a long-distance pursuit, which can only be pursued to the periphery of Changshan County, and cannot enter Changshan County. The soldier was very tired. We must reorganize the entire army. I was able to eat a part of the New Army in the West Garden. For the most part of the Northern Army, this is already a very big victory. We can't do large-scale operations anymore. The campaign must be kept within a certain range. It must be controlled. "Shangwu was very worried that the war would not be stopped at once, and in that case, the situation would become very unfavorable. In such a situation, there is simply too much they can do.
"That's true." Jia Xu said. The Red Turban Army has reached its limit, the officers and troops have also reached its limit, and both sides have fought to the limit. After this large-scale pursuit battle, neither side was able to conduct large-scale operations.
"Kill. Kill. The shouts of killing in the distance kept coming, and the shouts of killing made people boil and be scared, but Shang Wu and Jia Xu knew very well that this was the final end of the war, and they could no longer fight. The mess left by this war is very large. The Red Turbans are in debt. And there are still a large number of casualties, wounded soldiers, and the situation on the battlefield is already uncontrollable.
on the beach of the creek. Zhou Cang was in a meeting with the few remaining officers.
"Sir, let's pursue it, we already have a company of support. We should have no problem. A captain said anxiously that he saw that other troops were frantically pursuing, but their situation was very unoptimistic, they were very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, because they had few people, and they could not conduct large-scale battles with few people, and at this time, the best way was to wait. Hold one's ground.
"Well, I know what you're thinking, but what would Chief Li think if he was here?" Zhou Cang asked the officers present, as well as two officers from the first brigade and one regiment.
"You all know that Chief Li will fight, and before this battle, Chief Li said it. We have to nail it here like a nail, as long as the northern army can't pull out our nail, their situation will be completely passive, if we leave ourselves, don't look at the rout of the northern army. But they will still attack, didn't we get to the end and let people seize the opportunity, such a thing, we can't do it, we can't do it. Zhou Cang thought for a while and said. Perhaps it was Li Dao's sacrifice that made Zhou Cang's temperament begin to change. It may also be that Zhou Cang has his own considerations. In short, Zhou Cang resolutely did not allow the pursuit. Because the pursuit will completely lose their mission, which is a situation that they are not willing to face.
"Sir, is it appropriate for us to attack, after all, now the Northern Army has been defeated." A lieutenant proposed.
"No, resolutely no, we are not allowed to attack without my orders, our position is too important. You know? Without us playing the role of nails here, the whole campaign would not be able to go down, brothers, I know that what you are seeing is the spoils of war, but our mission is different, leaving here, everything will become nothing, we will nail here, we will play the role of nails, and the Northern Army will not be able to run anywhere. So, in such a situation, we have to nail it here. That's an order. Zhou Cang said.
"Yes. Sir. "The officers watched the others pursue, but they were nailed to the position, which was really uncomfortable, and besides, their losses were already very large. It's okay to take some prisoners and get some loot, but as a result, they still can't attack, which makes them very disappointed, but there is no way, the war is like this. The situation made their situation very unfavorable.
4th Infantry Brigade. Brigade headquarters. Yang Lin, as the acting brigade commander of the infantry brigade, convened a meeting of many officers here, and the officers of the Fourth Infantry Brigade were all very young, a battalion commander, who was not yet twenty years old, and the battalion commander was only a corporal before. There was no way, the troops fought too hard.
"Uncle Yang, let's talk about it." Yang Lin said the above thoughts. They are going to continue fighting, such an order, so that everyone is silent. Yang Lin knew better than anyone the situation of the troops, the whole brigade was less than 800 people, and a large number of veterans entered the hospital. The rest are young people who have relatively little combat experience and relatively large weapons losses. It is difficult to get them to perform such a task, and the point is, the number of people is too small.
"Me. Sir Yang, this. I. I can't say it. "Uncle Yang became the oldest person in the brigade, he was exceptionally promoted to major combat staff officer, what this position is for, Uncle Yang himself doesn't know, what he knows is that those staff officers can understand the map, and the combat intention is very clear, let him do such a thing, he can't do it. He can only command one company at most, what kind of operational staff officer he serves, this, this is simply a joke. He decided to quit his job. Go back to farming.
"Uncle Yang, don't worry, you have combat experience, in this regard, we are not as good as you, tell me your opinion, do you say that we can fight this battle or not?" Yang Lin asked Uncle Yang.
"Well, this battle, if you want me to say, should be fought." Uncle Yang thought about it and said so.
Many officers looked up at Uncle Yang, who only paused.
"Logically speaking, our sacrifice in this battle is too great. There were too many troops lost, too many, there were so many brothers, went. Uncle Yang paused, and his heart was not comfortable, because many soldiers who went had a great connection with him.
"However, this war, sometimes, is fought in one breath, and the current Xiyuan New Army, this breath has gone down. They can't slow down. We still have this breath, as long as we have this breath, rush over, hit it, it is one person, and there are 10,000 people on the opposite side, and we will run away in fear. But if we don't pursue them, we'll fight again when they recover from them. This is difficult. Uncle Yang shook his head and said.
"That's my opinion, you can think about it more, you don't have to think about my thoughts, in fact, there are many, many things that we can't control, and the current situation is such a situation. There's no way we can do that. Uncle Yang said.
"That's right, Uncle Yang said. We do have difficulties, but, we still have a breath of air, the 323 regiment is still there, at the beginning, we are here for the goal of spelling, why do we have to leave the seed now, as long as the number is still there, we will be able to solve such a problem. One of the captains stood up and said.
"Yes, that's right, this is the tone of this war, we must not let Xiyuan slow down, what are you afraid of, let's fight it out." We can rush over and hit the fuck. One lieutenant stood up and said.
"Sir, I have a suggestion, we can continue to replenish along the way, continue to pursue, although this is an act of digging the foot of the wall, but as long as the troops dare to fight, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." An ensign said.
"Good. Good. Everyone, be quiet. Yang Lin recorded a lot of good suggestions and said.
"I know everybody's tired. However, now we are the Fourth Infantry Brigade, and the main force is three brigades, and now, we have obtained a number ourselves, and since we have obtained this number, we must have the ability to show the ability to support this number, and this battle is for us to fight, and the face of the Fourth Infantry Brigade depends on ourselves. Yang Lin said.
",." All the officers present shouted loudly. In this way, the 4th Infantry Brigade was again put into operation.
Chen Da was also unknowingly infected. He didn't know why he was there, why he was doing this, but what he did know was that if he did this, he would solve the problem.
Ten miles north of Stone Village.
"We're finally out." Jian Shuo was so excited that he was about to jump.
"No, we have to go quickly, otherwise, when the Red Turban Army blocks the opening, none of us will be able to leave." Yuan Shao said.
"Let's go." Yuan Shao said as he pulled his horse. Jian Shuo heard that what Yuan Shao said was very reasonable, but it was not easy for them to get out here, and no one noticed this direction. If they were blocked again, they would really have no place to cry. And this place is very dangerous.
"Yes, let's go. Come on. "Jian Shuo can't take care of much. As for the new army in Xiyuan, which is still in the encirclement, this is not something that Jian Shuo can control. The food in the encirclement has been exhausted, and the morale of the army is no longer controllable.
