Chapter 473: Mending the Knife

Zachdan ordered to the adjutant who had been following him, "Let those officers, non-commissioned officers, and newly appointed young officers who have come to our brigade for internships assemble together and go up to mend their swords."

Well, that, and that ······"

Speaking of this, Zachdan was a little embarrassed, snorted for a moment, and finally shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's the business-related matters that are related to the head, so don't be busy doing it first."

In this battle, the cavalry units and the mounted infantry battalion fought very hard, and the new recruits from the other battalions basically did nothing.

So, after a while after the battle, the recruits who didn't participate in the battle and who didn't shoot were singled out to do this. ”

"Understood." Although Zachdan said vaguely, the adjutant was also a smart person, and when he heard the word business, he knew that he was talking about the transaction between the head of the Houjin Tartar and the Ming military.

Although this has been done in some ways, and some of it is indiscriminate, it is also a necessary means to solve the military's financial crisis, and the adjutant has no intention of objecting to it.

Moreover, it seems that Zachdan has been by the king's side for a long time, and he also adheres to the king's consistent style of doing things, that is, everything wants to be profitable to the extreme, even the thing of cutting off people's heads, he still wants to increase the experience of the recruits.

Zachdan looked at the slowly setting sunset, and said to the adjutant, "The Houjin Tartars have already returned to Fuzhou City, and they have been beaten this time, and they will definitely be closed for a period of time in the future."

Although they don't come out, we have to give it a try, and see how the Tartars react to this matter before we can make the next plan. ”

The adjutant nodded and replied, "The progress of our battle is indeed much smoother than expected, and my subordinates originally thought that the Tartars would not go south, and the battle would continue for a long time."

But today is only the second day of the official start of the combat operation, but we have already completed a heavy blow on the white flag Duoduo Division, and defeated the old and new traitor teams, even the Eight Banners Tartar with the red flag, I am afraid that they are frightened.

All the personnel of our 1st Mixed Brigade will be together, and the strength will almost exceed 4,000 people, and the Houjin army, which has fled back to the city of Zhou, will definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight with our army in the field again.

It was already an inevitable choice for the enemy to ask for help from the Houjin Dynasty.

According to intelligence, the Houjin Tartars still have a part of the Eight Banners in the Haizhou area, but their number should not be large.

Most of the remaining soldiers and horses in the country of Houjin are gathered in the area near Shenyang, and if the part of the army in Dongjiang Town of the Ming Dynasty controlled by our army can attack on time according to the agreement, the part of the men and horses near Shenyang will need to hold on to Shenyang.

When they confirmed the urgency of Fuzhou City, they would have to regroup the banner armor soldiers in other regions, which would be at least three days later.

In addition, the enemy's large reinforcements rushed to Fuzhou City, and it would take several days along the way, so in general, we had at least five or six days to try to attack Fuzhou City. ”

Zachdan lowered his head, looked at the ground silently, silently calculated on the psychological side for a while, and then raised his head again and said, "Let's fight for three days first, so that the cattle of the Tartar banners will be mobilized and tossed them."

In this way, it can also consume their manpower and material resources, and try to make them more affected when they are busy with farming.

During these three days, the shortage of personnel in our first mixed brigade, as well as the supply of various logistical materials, must be fully replenished. ”

The adjutant had also attended the pre-war briefing meetings and the operational meetings of the General Staff as nonvoting delegates, and he was very clear about the several sets of operational and supply plans drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters.

So he immediately replied, "The supply of personnel and materials has been planned, and after a while of summing up, the subordinates will compile the relevant information into a report and send it to the logistics supply base in the rear."

After our brigade arrived at Fuzhou City, we only needed to set up camp along the Fuzhou River, and the supplies would be sent all the way along the waterway.

Along the way, our army transported things from China by sea to the mouth of the Fuzhou River by transport ships. Then, from the location of the mouth of the sea, small boats were loaded with personnel, food, equipment, and ammunition, and transported to the garrison of our army.

In doing so, a lot of transportation power can be saved. At the same time, when the ship returned, the captured weapons and equipment could be transported back along with the Tartars' heads. So, replenishment is not a problem at all.

Now, there is only one problem, siege ......"

Zachdan nodded and said with a smile, "The plan is very good, and the reconnaissance team has also conducted field investigations, so it is convenient to have a waterway."

As for Fuzhou City, in fact, that place is not too important, the purpose of the establishment of our First Mixed Brigade is to attack the comprehensive strength of the Houjin Tartars, especially the True Tartars in the Jurchen Eight Banners.

It's true that we haven't attacked the city, but after the battle of Jinzhou City, we also had exercises in this area.

The so-called beginning of everything is difficult, after having a beginning, things are much easier, as long as we fight a few more times, sum up experience, and become familiar with this kind of battle in the future.

Therefore, this time, we are also focusing on summing up lessons and lessons, practicing tactics, and at least we must look like a little bit! ”

The sun had finally set, and before nightfall, the task of clearing the hills and mountains to the west was almost complete.

The Houjin soldiers, who were first tied like zongzi, and then strung into bunches like grapes, as well as their coats, were also escorted out from various mountain passes by the soldiers of the Chinese Army at this time.

Among them, there are at least more than 100 armor soldiers such as horse armor and infantry armor of Houjin, plus dozens of Yu Ding, 1,000 people's clothing, and some heads still hanging on the shoulders of the soldiers in charge of guarding, which can be said to be a great victory.

These clothed soldiers all fled on foot from the vicinity of the mouth of the Fuzhou River with the white flag.

Later, after the victory, the Huaxia army in charge of the pursuit pursued too fast, and they could only follow the fleeing Houjin conscripts to the west, and finally entered the hilly area.

The mountains over there required constant detours, and the roads along the way were extremely difficult to walk, so they had just fled to the vicinity of the battlefield until the 1st Mixed Brigade began to clear them.

It just so happened that the fleeing Houjin Wrappers met the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the mounted infantry battalion in the purge, so that they were almost wiped out at once.
