Chapter 229: Mixed Blessings
Zhao Qingyu immediately called the herald to "issue an order to all companies, asking everyone to deal with the ammunition as much as possible, and if they are not sure, ······"
At this point, he paused, now it was a defensive battle, the enemy was far outnumbered by his own, and if such an order was given, it would definitely tie the soldiers on the front line.
Although it is likely that your own ammunition consumption will be smaller under this order, it will not be good if the enemy follows his order and launches a strong attack.
So he then changed his tone and said, "Forget it, you go down first." ”
The logistics staff officer looked at Zhao Qingyu's face and persuaded, "Regiment commander, didn't you ask your superiors for help when the enemy attacked this morning?" My superiors will definitely find a way to support us. ”
Zhao Qingyu smiled bitterly in his heart, he was a regimental-level officer, so he naturally had a certain understanding of the military deployment of the kingdom, and he had long known that in a short period of time, he basically couldn't count on reinforcements.
However, he did not tell the news to his officers, and it was better not to affect everyone's morale during the fierce battle.
At this moment, a fierce burst of gunfire and explosions was again heard from the front line. Zhao Qingyu immediately left the warehouse.
The warehouse and the ambulance station are located on the mountainside, and you only need to walk two more steps to the top of the mountain.
His lieutenant was already there, handed over the telescope in his hand and explained, "It's a three-company company, carrying out a surprise attack on the enemy." ”
Zhao Qingyu got the telescope and first asked, "How is the situation?" Then he observed.
"They did a good job, a round of grenades knocked over a group of people on the flank, and now they are pursuing the retreating Houjin army."
"Do you think they'll be able to get there?"
The adjutant replied, "This round of attack came very suddenly, the enemy was completely unprepared, and I think there should be hope of success." ”
Under the guidance of the adjutant, Zhao Qingyu found the third company that was constantly attacking the opponent's flank.
"Well, it's really good, this round of rapid attacks is in place, and the cooperation between several platoons is also tacit."
"Commander, don't be too picky, we are not familiar with this battlefield, and it is already very good to be able to achieve the goal. It can't be expected that the Houjin army will be as easy to fight as the weak chickens in the Wa Kingdom. ”
Zhao Qingyu chuckled, "Yes." After all, we are not familiar with the terrain.
However, you are also underestimating the Japanese kingdom, because they were blocked by the kingdom from all sea trade, and then they also suppressed it for several years, destroying all the shipyards and weapons factories. That's why it's weak now.
In the third year of the fire, we had no chance of winning against the 200,000 troops of the Kamitokugawa shogunate. ”
"That's what we did."
During the chat, Zhao Qingyu's telescope has seen new changes in the frontline battle situation.
After overthrowing about a few hundred enemy soldiers and horses on the right flank, the three companies drove the defeated troops and successfully attacked about 300 meters away from the camp of the Houjin army.
There, the grenadier quickly fired all the incendiary grenades from the secondary shooter.
With the explosion of gunpowder, the flames rose from the enemy's logistics camp and ignited a large grain wagon.
There was no time to observe the results of the battle, several platoons of the third company covered each other and quickly retreated into the mountains.
"Order the infantry artillery to suppress the enemy forces pursuing the third company."
"Yes." The herald ran quickly towards the infantry gun position.
Two minutes later, the infantry guns opened fire quickly, completing a makeshift vacuum band between the enemy and the third company.
After the third company withdrew to the mountain, the infantry artillery immediately stopped firing, and now the shells were precious, and it was necessary to save as much as possible.
When the fire was shining, the situation in the enemy camp could not be seen in the mirror at all, and Zhao Qingyu put down the telescope in his hand. The command said, "Set up the large observation telescopes and let the observers calculate how much grain and grass the enemy has burned." ”
"Yes."
Then he descended again and came to the second line of trenches.
After occupying the first line of trenches, the enemy did not launch a large-scale attack for the time being, and even when the three companies launched an attack on the enemy's logistics camp just now, the enemy did not make a rash move.
Although there was no large-scale attack, the infiltration of the Provisional Star never stopped.
"Bang, bang······" In the sporadic gunfire, those Houjin troops who tried to infiltrate from time to time under the cover of traffic trenches and obstacles everywhere were constantly killed.
Zhao Qingyu felt that something was wrong, you must know that the main force of the Korean Front of the Later Jin Dynasty was the Koreans, and this rabble was never known for its boldness.
Since entering the dynasty in the first year of the fire, the Goryeo people that Wang ** has met have always been the same.
"What's going on? How dare the Koreans play small-scale infiltration? ”
No one can answer this question.
"Find a way to grab your tongue and come back and ask."
Before the battalion headquarters of the 1502nd Battalion gave orders, the scouts of the 1601st Battalion, who were already reinforcing the second line of trenches, volunteered themselves.
The commander of the 1601 battalion arranged for a few veterans to quietly infiltrate the opposite side, and at the same time, he quipped, "Commander Zhao, with our reconnaissance battalion here, where can the rangers do this kind of tongue-grabbing work." ”
Chief of Staff Qian had already arranged the defense of the third line of defense, and at this time he returned to the second trench, and just heard the words of the commander of the 1601 battalion, and couldn't help but pout.
However, he had only arrived at the 15th Ranger Regiment not long ago, and he didn't know much about the relationship between the regiment and the 16th Regiment, so he didn't want to interject, so he opened the topic and said, "Regiment commander, another cavalry battalion that was originally transferred with our battalion to support Tashan has just received a letter, and they are already on the way, and they will definitely arrive before noon." ”
Hearing that reinforcements were finally available, Zhao Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at the fact that from morning to now, this mixed Tashan defense force has been occupying the initiative, and has just burned the enemy's grain and grass, but all this is just the appearance.
Not to mention that the own side has more than 10 percent, less than 20 percent of the casualties, and it is close to 30 percent of the battle losses, and the red line for supplementary reorganization is not far away.
Let's just say that the total number of enemy troops in front of him is a large force of more than 30,000 people, and once the enemy forces merge, as long as one charge, they can solve more than 600 men and horses in their own area.
Moreover, even if the enemy forces in the mountains could not be united in a short period of time, as long as the troops in the mountainous area of the Houjin Army managed to send someone to notify the large force of more than 50,000 people of the Houjin Army who were building defensive positions outside the mountain, the situation would immediately become different.
The enemy army outside the mountain does not need to send too many people to scold, as long as a cavalry team copies the back road of themselves and others, it will definitely be a catastrophe for Tashan, a force that goes deep behind the enemy.
Now, with reinforcements, even if there is only one battalion, the situation is turning in the direction of the station.
"Which battalion is coming?"
"1st Cavalry Regiment, 103rd Battalion."
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Qingyu felt a little bad again, "1 regiment and 3 battalions? Newly formed troops? ”
