An Buyu did not know that the First Army of the Houjin Korean Front, which he led into the mountains, would suffer such a big loss, and the camp set up five miles north of Tashan was set up to gather all the more than 60,000 men and horses who had entered the mountain.

Moreover, when I heard that the Huaxia army was chasing all the teams, in order to increase the depth of defense, several high ditches and breastwork were also expanded on the periphery.

Therefore, the entire camp of the Houjin Army covers a very large area, with various fortifications, rest camps, logistics material storage points, etc., which is the size of a county town.

Of course, due to the urgency of the time, the scale is the same as that of the county seat, and the internal facilities are basically buildings made up of trees temporarily cut from the surrounding forest area, which is very simple.

When the fire broke out in the early hours of the morning, the entire camp was lost for several hours, and it was not finished.

Even when the sky was bright, the fire was still not extinguished.

At this time, the infantry battalions had already been unable to resist the desire to charge, and were eager to look at their commanders.

The 10 infantry battalions responsible for the frontal assault were temporarily commanded by Chen Xin's elder brother, the former military judge Zhong Fu.

The six infantry battalions responsible for outflanking, plus the 1601st reconnaissance battalion and the 1502nd ranger battalion in Tashan, were unified under the temporary overall command of Chen Xin's elder brother and former commander of the reconnaissance and search force, Lakshen.

As for the 103rd Cavalry Battalion, which was originally arranged to come to support, uh, because it can't be contacted, so I won't show it for the time being.

Although Zhong Fulin and Lakshen said that they were in overall command, in fact, Chen Xin assigned them a staff team, and these staff officers, who had experienced long-term study and practice, would analyze the pros and cons of various actions and provide various suggestions.

Commanders on the front line only need to choose a set of plans to implement according to the specific situation on the battlefield and their own ideas.

Just like now, when the sky was bright and visibility had greatly increased, the staff officers, in accordance with the plan drawn up before the battle, put forward the proposal of "counting the enemy's casualties of the previous night in advance, and then sending sappers to clear the obstacles, and the battalions ready to follow up the attack at any time."

The two commanders agreed that this was a more realistic suggestion at the moment.

Statisticians were dispatched to the defense line of each battalion to conduct a general count of the Houjin army, which had fallen on the breakout route last night.

"It is impossible to estimate the number of burned and trampled to death in the enemy's camp, and the corpses scattered in front of our positions, combined, are about more than 3,000. In addition, we also captured about 2,000 Houjin soldiers, most of whom were Goryeo Bird Commanders, and there were only about 200 people in the real Eight Banners. ”

"So, the number of the Houjin army is likely to drop to less than 20,000?"

"That's for sure. If we estimate optimistically, the number of surviving enemy troops is likely to be more than 10,000. ”

"I don't care how many Koreans I have arrested, but the more than 200 Eight Banner soldiers are even more satisfying to me.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the North Korean region are really national treasures, and one less is to catch one.

If we can catch those thousands of real Tartars, will the Houjin Korean Front Army have to be disbanded? ”

After everyone talked and laughed for a while, Zhong Fulin immediately ordered to continue the next move.

Engineer units of the battalions were quickly dispatched to extinguish the flames that had blocked the offensive route and the buildings and supplies within the firing range.

Some buildings that were blocked in the road and could not be extinguished in a short time, or some buildings that had been burned to the ground but did not collapse immediately, the sappers used a more crude blasting method.

First a bag of explosives knocked down the entire building, and then a layer of mud that was still wet after the rain was buried on top of the rubble.

However, because the entire enemy camp was missing several hours, the mud on the ground began to dehydrate and crack, which made the fire extinguishing work a little longer than originally planned.

No matter how long it was, it was only a few roads that could pass through the original flat ground, and after an hour, all the obstacles on the road were cleared.

After each left their reserves in case of contingency, the infantry battalions finally received orders from their commanders in anxious waiting.

"Attack forward."

The frontal attacking troops under the command of Zhong Fulin, lined up in a neat dense queue, wielding flintlock pistols, and under the cover of a skirmish line armed with pump-action rifles in front, they gradually advanced.

It's just that something unexpected happened to everyone.

The further you go inside, the hotter the air becomes.

As we walked further and further inward, the smoke caused by the gunpowder, which had been detonated by the fire, the grain that had been burned to half-ashes, and the wood that had been wet from the heavy rain before, began to fill the view.

Looking at the long-lasting fog in the distance, near the center of the Houjin camp, Zhong Fulin had to order to stop advancing.

After walking all the way, there were basically no living people in sight, and the thick fog in front of him obscured the vision in front of him.

Coupled with the dry, muggy air, the sticky sweat on his own body, and the barrel of the gun that began to get hot, the cautious side of Zhong Fulin's personality played a role.

"Retreat, return to the line of defense, hold your position."

Zhong Fulin was not afraid that the Houjin army would flee.

According to Chen Xin, with the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, with the cooperation of the Eagle Falcon trainer and staff officer, it can quickly open the fog of war and obtain the powerful effect of a small map in an unfamiliar area.

In this area, the army of the Huaxia Kingdom has completed the overall encirclement work, even if Na'an Buyang and the remaining Houjin army have three heads and six arms, don't want to escape easily.

As long as the enemy breaks through the encirclement, he will definitely encounter the army of the Huaxia Kingdom in the encirclement, and when the time comes, the surrounding troops will quickly reinforce and intercept the enemy's attempt to escape.

As for the possibility that the Houjin army will not break through······

Last night's rocket fire was actually mainly aimed at the logistics camp, the Chinese army, and the stables of the Houjin army, in order to kill and injure the enemy troops and force the enemy to break through to their own defense line.

After the fire passed overnight, how much grain and grass could be in the hands of the Houjin army, basically everyone knew in their hearts.

If the enemy breaks through, it is just that, if he does not break through, he can only starve to death, or surrender.

If this kind of thing really happened, Zhong Fulin really couldn't ask for it.

After thinking about it, Zhong Fulin had already returned to the previous position with the team, and ordered the staff officers to record this tactical mistake.

This is the combat habit of the Huaxia Army, because these things are all from experience.

This kind of actual combat experience is slowly accumulated, and perhaps there will be a basis for reference when conducting combat operations that time.
