Chapter 854: Winning and Losing
The Anglo-Spanish coalition forces were under the front and rear attack of the Lu army, and they had no power to fight back at all, mainly because the heavy machine guns were too powerful, and in the absence of protection, the coalition soldiers only had to deliver food!
In less than an hour, the Anglo-Spanish army paid the price of nearly a thousand casualties!
"Retreat, retreat!"
Hilton and Simone no longer want to break through the position of the Lu army, they can leave the battlefield unharmed, and now they have burned high incense, especially the combat power of the Lu army is too evil!
The coalition forces retreated, and the Lu army pursued, chasing out more than ten miles in one breath before stopping the pursuit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hilton and Simeone gathered the remnants of the defeated army, wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to rush to the aid of the French army, but before they arrived in Cangzhou, they were ruthlessly cleaned up by the ambush soldiers! The losses are heavy, in one night, the coalition forces paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties, which can be described as a nerve-wracking!
Of course, they are not the worst, the worst is of course the encircled French army, the strength of the two brigades of the French army is surrounded by Gao Qi, Wang Haonan and Guo Kai five infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, which is the most unlucky!
After the initial panic, Guy finally calmed down, began to command the French army to build fortifications on the spot, began to wait for reinforcements, from here to the Jinghai is not far, at most two days can reach here, if you march with all your strength, you can reach the current position in one day and one night, more than a day, and then Ju Yiru In his opinion, the French army can still withstand it, after all, there are still more than 6,000 troops that the French army can put into battle, and the strength is not much less than the Lu army, but the strength of the Lu army, The weapons are so well equipped, whether it is artillery or heavy machine guns, or cavalry galloping across the country, the striking power is too great!
In a day and a night, the French army was beaten by the Lu army and was completely out of breath, and the attacks in turn made the French army exhausted, and the morale had been low to the bottom, and if there was a day and a night, the French army would definitely collapse, and the opponent's firepower was too strong!
"Hilton, Simeone, you two come quickly, Lao Tzu is too hard to support, as long as you can get these thousands of French troops out of danger, even if you admit your mistakes to the British army, there is no problem, and even apologize to Houghton in person!"
Guyiru thought bitterly in his heart.
However, how did he know that the current coalition army has also been forced by the Lu army.
A day and a night passed, and soon the time came to noon, the Lu army, which had rested for a while, launched a siege against the French army again, and a shell hit the French position, which was too fatal, and the French artillery at this time had almost been destroyed by the Lu army, just relying on the rifle, and the temporary tunnel blocked the attack of the Lu army!
How long does this last?
The battle lasted until dusk, and there was still no trace of the Anglo-Spanish army behind!
******! Hilton and Simeone, the two dogs, won't die without help, Lao Tzu, these two infantry brigades!
Guy was crying, now there are wounded soldiers everywhere, and there are only about 3,000 people who can keep fighting in a fighting state, and if they continue to fight, then the whole army will really be wiped out, and they really can't wait!
"General, General Guyru, we must break through, we must break through, if we continue to fight, we won't be able to run alone, damn the British army and the Spanish army, I haven't seen a single figure for two days and two nights, I must be watching our jokes from behind!"
The commander of the 10th Brigade, Kure, said urgently.
"Break through, how can we break through now, we have more than 2,000 wounded here, how can we break through?"
Guy said abruptly.
"I can't care so much, now I can only ensure that the main force breaks through first, and then say, the rest of the wounded, if it's a big deal, surrender, as long as General Bazin comes back from the capital, then what else do we have to fear? When the time comes, these Lu troops will be wiped out! ”
Koure shouted.
Guy gritted his teeth, now it's the only way, if you break through with so many wounded, it will definitely be a dead end!
"Order, concentrate all the forces that can fight, concentrate all the artillery, fire with all your strength in the northwest direction, use the artillery to blast me a way, and then launch a breakthrough at night!"
Guy gave the order.
Soon, night fell, and the French concentrated their only ten artillery pieces, as well as less than 100 shells, and began to launch a fierce bombardment in the northwest direction, and the shells continued to fall on the positions of the Lu army!
The violent explosion temporarily suppressed the firepower of the Lu army, and the French army of less than 3,000 people began to launch a rapid assault in the northwest direction.
Attack, attack, attack!
Even if the firepower of the Lu army is fierce in the dark night, it can not contain the surprise attack of the French army, and the position is finally reopened by the French army.
The main force of the French army ran away, but the French wounded who were thrown behind them were unlucky, and the two days of the battle made the French army of more than 3,000 people suffer different degrees of injuries, and they can't die, but if they want to break through, it is definitely impossible, either on their legs and hands, or there are injuries in other places, and they are inconvenient to move.
Guy ran away, then Gao Qi and the others naturally poured their anger on these people, and in less than half an hour, the entire French position was occupied, and the remaining French troops of more than 2,000 people all threw down their weapons, raised their hands to surrender, and fart? When the combat power was in its heyday, it couldn't beat others, and now that a group of remnants of the army is defeated, it is even less of an opponent of the Lu army.
"Hmph, Guo Kai, immediately take someone to show me all these captives and send them back to Cangzhou! The entire 1st Division is stationed on the spot! ”
Gao Qi was very unhappy, he was completely run away by those big fish, which was really unlucky!
"Lao Gao, stationed here? This is not far from the main force of the Four-Nation Alliance, and once the main force of the Four-Nation Alliance comes, it will be difficult for us to resist it......"
Wang Haonan hesitated for a moment and said.
Gao Qi said unhappily: "What are you afraid of? Do we have a helper in our business? Immediately sent cavalry to Jinan in the starry night, asking Yan Chunyu, that kid, to lead the main force of the second division to prepare to go north, and also, all those weapons and baggage in the ice factory were all taken out, we have consumed a lot of shells! Behind, but there are even more tragic battles waiting for us! ”
