Chapter 472: Cleaning
After the main combat units of each battalion received their tasks and left, the remaining part of the logistics, auxiliary, and guard units began to clean up the battlefield strewn with corpses.
The Houjin Tartars found, whether dead or wounded, were supplemented with bayonets in accordance with battlefield discipline.
In addition, the medical staff of each battalion and company and the medical team directly under the brigade headquarters also seized the time to be busy on the battlefield to rescue the wounded belonging to the Huaxia military itself.
At this time, after such a long fierce battle, the sun had set in the west, and Zachdan patrolled the battlefield with his guards.
In the first war, where the two sides fought with spears, bayonets and cold weapons, it was simply said that corpses were all over the place, layered and densely packed to make people dizzy.
From this scene, Zachdan could imagine the intensity of the close-quarters battle.
It seems that in the Houjin Army, even if it is only two levels of infantry armor, the combat effectiveness that erupts at a critical moment is also very strong. Not to mention the vest that goes up to the next level, and the bayala that is at a higher level.
"The experience of fighting in the Korean region against the group of Tatar troops who broke away from the command of the Later Jin regime cannot be used here!"
The soldiers of the auxiliaries and engineer units who were watching the horses also carefully lifted the corpses of their own soldiers and arranged them in a neat row on the edge of the river.
Zakdan roughly counted and found that the corpses of the martyrs stored on the side of the mounted infantry battalion alone were at least more than 200, and the wounded soldiers on the other side who had been lifted up were at least hundreds.
This does not include the battle losses of cavalry battalions, reconnaissance battalions, directly subordinate battalions and other cavalry units, because the cavalry combat area is relatively wide, so the corpses of the martyrs are also widely scattered, and there is no way to concentrate in this place in a short time.
At the same time, the corpses left on the battlefield by the Houjin Tartars were much more than those of the Huaxia Army.
There are also wounded soldiers, because most of the wounded soldiers left behind here are those left behind by Houjin during the war.
At that time, the Huaxia army also did not have the time to capture prisoners, so when everyone was pursuing, most of them were casually using a bayonet or a shot to solve the wounded, so as not to encounter a die-hard enemy and hurt their comrades.
In addition, just now, the auxiliaries searched for the black hands of the battlefield, and most of the wounded of the Houjin army have been killed.
The dense corpses began along the line of the battlefield where the bayonets clashed, and continued all the way to the south.
Spreading outward, in the western direction, it was mainly the corpses of the post-golden vests, which were more dispersed than the infantry.
Zachdan estimated that there were about 1,300 corpses left on the battlefield in the White Flag Duoduo Division, including about 500 horsemen.
Around the battlefield, there were nearly 1,000 horses and horses, and countless weapons, armor, baggage, grain and grass were left on the ground.
Zachdan silently calculated in his heart that if he could indeed seal the position of the mountain pass to the west and eliminate the hundreds of Houjin Eight Banner soldiers who had been scattered in Houjin, then the White Flag Duoduo Department would almost be abolished.
As the owner of the banner, Duoduo was abolished most of his military strength, then, that is, at least half of the entire white flag was abolished.
In fact, as one of Nurhachi's most beloved youngest sons, Duoduo led one of the two Yellow Banners that were originally the most powerful, powerful, and most staffed of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin.
And the current so-called inlaid white flag is one of the two white flags that were replaced by the two yellow flags led by the original Nurhachi after Huang Taiji came to power.
The total number of Niulu in this banner is about less than thirty, which is about five or six more than the Zhenglan Banner led by Mang Gurtai, who has surrendered to China.
According to the regular establishment of Houjin, Niu Lu should have 300 regular soldiers, but most of Niu Lu could not reach this number. Only the relatively strong Niu Lu in the Eight Banners can have a full quota of 300 regular soldiers.
Among the inlaid white flags led by Duoduo from the two yellow flags, most of them are relatively powerful Niu Lu formations, and basically all of them can reach three hundred.
Even, because his banner was originally Nurhachi's headquarters, some of the more powerful Niu Lu led by Niu Lu Ezhen could even have a huge establishment of 500 regular soldiers.
According to the estimates of various intelligence departments under the National Security Council, the number of Qiding Zhengbing under the White Banner is about 10,000.
Among the corpses left on the ground, at least half of the people's armor is the kind of extremely fine iron armor, which should be the elite armor soldiers in the white flag, and some of the others wearing cotton armor may be the Yu Ding in the flag.
If most of these dead and wounded people belonged to the fifteen Niu Lu of Duoduo's department, then Zachdan would have to report the good news to Chen Xin, because in this case, Duoduo's status in the Houjin country in the future would be very problematic.
As for the old Han army unit called Wuzhen Chaoha, as well as the new Han army unit called the Tianyou Army led by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, Zachdan also saw the whole process of their collapse from a distance in the previous brigade command post.
The soldiers in Wuzhen Chaohari are all the clothed minions in each banner, and most of these cloths are the Han people who originally lived in the Liaodong region, and they have the least spirit of resistance.
Hou Jin wants to count on this group of people to fight abroad, if it is against the more and more rotten battalion soldiers in the Ming army, or most of the guards, there is a certain possibility.
However, as long as the enemy is replaced, it will become a slightly stronger team such as the Guanning Army, Dongjiang Town, and Jiubian Town Soldiers, and they will be blinded. Not to mention the powerful Chinese Army on the upper side.
It is absolutely impossible to let this group of people fight to the death on the battlefield, and even Kong Youde's newly reorganized Tianyou Army is far stronger than them.
Therefore, Zachdan knew that there was no need to regard Wuzhen Chaoha as a threatening force, and even, it did not need to be regarded as an opposing force that could fight.
At this time, from the vicinity of the hills and mountains to the west, there was a fierce gunshot, and Zachdan knew that the clean-up operation had begun.
At the same time, the cavalry unit with the red flag in the north also retreated farther and farther.
The two infantry battalions of the left flank, which had also pressed the enemy's cavalry units, had advanced to a halt at a mountain pass that was narrowest into the hilly area, and began to line up to prevent the enemy from returning.
Another unit directly under the brigade headquarters, which was responsible for guarding the northwest direction and preventing the enemy from returning to kill them, also rejoined the clean-up operation.
