In this battle, from obtaining intelligence, adjusting deployment, to ambushing and fighting, pursuing the remnants of the enemy, and returning triumphantly, it took a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes****** killing 1,215 cavalry of the Houjin Army, capturing 603 people, and capturing 973 horses.

Our army suffered 173 casualties, including 103 casualties in the logistics and baggage transport units, 47 casualties in the infantry team, and 23 casualties in the three pursuit units of rangers and cavalry.

After Chen Xin listened to the staff officer's report, his fingers kept tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair.

The sunlight had disappeared into the sky, and a fat orange cat that was originally basking in the last afterglow of the sun seemed to feel the cold, shook its ears, got up lazily, and came to Chen Xin's feet.

The fat face lifted up, stared at Chen Xin's fingers, and a deep and agile movement that did not match its own appearance and weight jumped up to Chen Xin's armrest.

After carefully adjusting his posture, the orange cat put his head on the place where Chen Xin pointed his finger, and then, with his body spread, leaned on Chen Xin's arm, and fell back into a lazy posture.

Chen Xin glanced at the fat tiger dotingly, stopped tapping his fingers, and changed to tickle the orange cat, and then continued to think about the question he wanted to ask just now.

"The transport force is facing the Houjin cavalry, and it needs to face the impact and shooting of more than 1,800 Houjin cavalry, and I understand that it has lost so many people.

The three pursuit troops, although they are considered elite, need to intercept and chase the Houjin cavalry, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, and I understand the loss of dozens of people.

But why are the casualties so great in the ambush of infantry units, covered by advanced weapons such as artillery and grenade launchers? It's even higher than the pursuing troops? The number of casualties has essentially doubled. ”

The staff officer did not squint, did not look at the fat cat with a grudge like a demon, and explained to Chen Xin, "In fact, only the casualties of the logistics transportation troops and the pursuit troops are real battle losses.

And the infantry team ambushed in the mountains and forests, except for about 10 unlucky people, was not injured by the Houjin army.

Dozens of other wounded were injured by snakes, insects, rats, ants, and dangerous environments in the forest. It belongs to the attrition of non-combatants. ”

Chen Xin's hand scratching the cat's chin paused slightly, the orange cat turned its head to look at him suspiciously, and Chen Xin resumed his original movements.

"I remember that our team, marching in the Hufeiling Mountains for a month, had less than 100 non-combat attrition before the heavy rain, why did we lose so many people in an hour-long ambush?

Is it because we are not properly equipped, or is there something wrong with the way we act? ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I haven't found out yet."

Chen Xin said with a serious face, "This matter must be investigated clearly, we must know where the mistake is this time, and make targeted improvements, otherwise, I don't know when, it will cause a big disaster because of this kind of thing." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go to the grassroots level to investigate immediately, and I will definitely form a report and submit it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

"The gentleman is serious, for the sake of the king, he is willing to smear his liver and brain."

After the staff officer retreated, the big cat persuaded him, "My king doesn't need to worry, with the post-war summary that our army has formed a habit of, even if we don't send it down, we will receive relevant reports." ”

Chen Xin shook his head and explained, "I know that I am deliberately putting pressure on the people below, and the statement I made just now means that I attach great importance to this, so that they will unconsciously attach importance to this matter."

I'm also worried, because when we used to fight, most of them were in plains and hilly areas, and we didn't need too many rapid marches, and the number of non-combat attrition was very scarce under effective medical and health control.

And now, with the expansion of our kingdom's territory, the combat area has also become complicated, let's say how many soldiers we have lost in the mountains and woodlands during the period before and after the Battle of Tashan.

I thought about it, relying on the post-war summary of the actual combat units that participated in the front line this time, and specially formed several special terrain combat units.

For example, if there are specialized combat units in special terrain such as mountain combat units and forest combat units, they will be able to use these special units as the backbone and rely on them to lead other ordinary units to act together and reduce the number of non-combat attrition as much as possible. ”

The big cat's eyes lit up, "This is a good way, but I am afraid that the formation of this kind of special force cannot be completed overnight, and it still needs countless training summaries under the conditions of strong logistics support." ”

"It just so happens that in this battle, the albatross of the [Naval Tactical Research Group] did not perform too well in the bombing operation, but in the follow-up supply work, they showed a unique advantage.

I thought about it, so I asked the [Naval Tactical Research Group] to temporarily change the way of using it while improving tactics and increasing the number of professional albatrosses, so that they could supply those special terrain units and help form new troops. ”

"I agree, however, the combat capability of this unit cannot be completely abolished, it is still necessary to strengthen their combat capability, although in this large-scale bombing operation, the albatross did not perform well, but I think that in small-scale battles, these fighters who fell from the sky are very useful."

Chen Xin laughed and said, "Of course, I myself have considerable confidence in aerial bombing operations under exclusive air supremacy, and the [Naval Tactical Research Group] is just a temporary cameo as a helper, and in the future, they will be more and more closely involved in our combat operations." ”

"It's good that you know what to do. I am quite impressed by the king's foresight. Much of what is happening in today's combat is something you predicted years ago.

I can't imagine that commanding a battle can become so simple. ”

The big cat's tone was obviously incredulous: "It's like I'm dreaming, when we started the army six years ago, the total belongings of the 20 brothers were only 20 clothes made from broken sacks stuffed with ura grass.

Even the weapons used in combat are only a bow, fifteen spears, and five knives, all of which are fucking cold weapons.

Unexpectedly, after only six years, we will not only be able to build an all-firearms unit, but also be able to match the whole army with armor and realize the transformation of the whole army into mules and horses.

What's even more incredible to me is that we can actually command the front line from thousands of miles away, and I really ······ it."

Speaking of which, the big cat said that he didn't want to go, he really couldn't find a word that could express his mood at this time.

In the previous operation, although the general headquarters was also conducting remote command, after all, it was a march and operation that lasted for more than a month, and there was a lot of room to turn around in the middle, so he had some buffer and would not be too surprised.

However, now, things are completely different, from the discovery of the enemy's abnormality on the front line, to the adjustment of the deployment of the general headquarters, to the official operation and cleaning of the battlefield, it is only two hours.

This time the battle really made the big cat feel a mental impact.

From time to time, the things that Chen Xin said at the beginning came to his mind, the soldiers who fell from the sky, the firearms that were fired continuously, and the cannons that could hit Shenyang from the Yalu River······

Originally, he didn't believe that these things could be real.

However, after today's battle of commanding troops thousands of miles away in precision operations, his heart has been shaken.

Perhaps, those things also have the possibility of appearing?
