Chapter 1371
Wang Tom looked at the bodies of the wounded and war dead brought back by stretchers and carts, and his joyful mood because of the victory in the battle was also diluted a lot.The Haihan Navy has always had a clear advantage in combat power at sea. Over the years, it has rarely been passive when fighting against armed forces from various countries. For the Navy, dozens of people were killed or injured in a single battle. It's more serious.If such a result occurred in a naval battle, then the fleet chief would most likely receive negative comments such as "poor command".
But land battles are obviously much more difficult than naval battles. Even the Marine Corps, which Wang Tom is proud of and is going to continue to increase investment and expand its establishment, is still fighting more difficult in the battle with the post-Gold Army , and revealed many problems.
The Marine Corps lacks strength and advanced weapons and equipment, which is undoubtedly the biggest shortcoming.If the most advanced individual weapons can be equipped like the special warfare battalion and the cavalry battalion, Wang Tom thinks it will not be difficult to deal with the current situation. After all, the special warfare battalion has shown everyone the ability of infantry against cavalry at Lushunkou possibility.Although the individual combat strength of the Marine Corps may not be as good as that of the special warfare battalion, there is an abandoned fishing village here as a defensive barrier. Relying on the bunker here to fight against the Houjin Army with several times its strength should not be as hard as it is now.
Of course, compared to Haihan's casualties, the Houjin Army, who has suffered heavy losses, will definitely not agree to use "difficult" to describe the situation of Haihan Army. The reason is that it is the Houjin army who is crying out loud.
However, in Wang Tom's opinion, the current performance of the Marine Corps on the battlefield is really not excellent. Although the soldiers may have tried their best to fight, the objective fact is that they are not as good as the friendly forces. Factors such as the battlefield environment, weapons and equipment, combat experience, etc. Cover up the reality of unsatisfactory record.Especially with the outstanding performance of the Special Operations Battalion Zhuyu, today's record of the Marine Corps will naturally be compared.
But this is not what Wang Tom is most worried about. He is actually worried about the same aspect as the frontline commander Sun Bing, that is, how long the Marine Corps can last under such a combat intensity.Houjin fought hard against the Marine Corps in the fishing village with its military superiority. Judging from the current exchange of battle losses, even though Haihan seems to have taken advantage, the Marine Corps is actually the one that can't afford it.
Later, the Golden Army had the upper hand and could launch offensives in batches in turn. However, the Marine Corps in the village had only two companies, which might not be able to withstand the wheel of battle launched by the opponent.Except for a few Ba Yala in the post-Golden army, most of the soldiers are part-time soldiers from herdsmen, hunters and other professions. Their labor costs are much lower than those of the elite marines, not to mention the exchange of ten to one or twenty to one Even if it is one hundred to one, Wang Tom is unwilling to exchange the lives of his elites with the Hou Jin Army for such a tragic exchange.
Hundreds of Jin troops were eliminated on the battlefield today, but the opponent will soon be able to replenish soldiers from the rear, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps are all elites who have passed long-term training. It can be said that every death is one less. There is no way to supplement it, and Wang Tom can only draw navy sailors to fill it in temporarily.Calculated based on today's casualty rate, if we continue to fight at this pace, I'm afraid that within a few days, the gap in our troops will become bigger and bigger, and there will be nothing left to fill.
"Send four of the fleet's spare artillery to the Marine Corps, and transfer a group of gunners from the ship to the village to help!" After Wang Tom considered the situation clearly, he began to issue new instructions: "In addition, the military doctors who accompany the army will also send them to the village to assist in the battle!" Draw a few people over there, and prepare more trauma medicines."
This is the only level that Wang Tom can do at present. The military pressure facing the south is not less than that here. It is impossible for him to ask for the army to be transferred from Lushunkou for reinforcements. He still has to rely on his own strength to deal with it. The current battle situation.The firepower output in the village is obviously not enough, otherwise it would be impossible for the Houjin army to attack nearby. In the absence of a large increase in troop strength, the only way Wang Tom can think of is to contain the Houjin army by increasing firepower offensive.
Although the artillery on the battleship is much clumsier than the army's field artillery, and its range and accuracy are slightly inferior, it is still a relatively easy and effective defense method when used in the current battlefield.If the Hou Jin army still tried to attack the villages in a relatively dense formation in the subsequent battles, then these "deck harvesters" originally equipped on battleships would definitely teach them the principles of life.
But in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Wang Tom quietly issued another order to issue rifles to the combatants of the fleet in case of emergency.If the marines in front really couldn't hold on in the fishing village, then the fleet would have to send another force to take them back to sea.As long as necessary, the fleet can even organize an armed force of nearly a thousand people to carry out a second landing. Of course, the navy is temporarily changed to the army to perform combat tasks, and the combat effectiveness will definitely not be comparable to that of the regular army.
When Wang Tom formulated the battle plan for the feint northward attack, he had imagined how to make the later Jin army believe in Haihan's purpose of trying to seize control of the Jinzhou Isthmus. Occupying an abandoned fishing village on the seashore several miles away has already plunged the Hou Jin army into tension and chaos, and there is no need to implement further deception tactics.After going through two confrontations in the past two days, if the Hou Jin army still couldn't confirm Haihan's offensive intention, it would be too slow.
Judging from the offensive strength of the Houjin army today, the Houjin army should have been convinced of Haihan's coveting of the Jinzhou Isthmus, and the next step is to form a large enough containment for it, so that Houjin can withdraw to Lushun in the south The army on the front line.If the commander-in-chief of the Jin army hadn't lost his mind, he should have sent the news of the local battle to the south before dark yesterday. After today's battle is over, the latest news should also be sent in the shortest possible time. .At least after the Jin army in the south retreated here, Haihan could consider retreating.
Wang Tom believes that after the loss of hundreds of people, the Houjin army will need some time to adjust, or even rearrange tactics. Much sooner than he expected.Only about three hours later, the team of the Houjin Army reappeared in the wilderness about two miles away from the fishing village.
Sun Bing was so busy that he had just sat down and had two mouthfuls of hot food when some of his subordinates came to report that the Houjin army had already lined up outside, and it seemed that a new round of offensive would soon be launched.
Sun Bing sighed, put down his lunch box and stood up, saying, "These barbarians can't sit still, they're here to die again so soon!"
Although his tone was somewhat helpless, Sun Bing's desire to fight was not so dull.After the battle in the morning, the company he commanded was the leading soldier on the line of fire, and the number of casualties exceeded 30, which was also unacceptable to him.These dead and wounded soldiers are people he sees every day. He remembers everyone's name and every face. He still has no time to feel sad for these dead. He just wants to kill more descendants. Jinren, avenge these comrades-in-arms and subordinates.
Sun Bing picked up his rifle and carried it on his back, and strode towards the north. That was the place closest to the Houjin army formation, and it was also the place where the marines suffered the most casualties. But as the commander of the marines, this was his A position that must be held personally.Originally the company commander of the other company asked to switch defense zones, but Sun Bing refused on the grounds that he needed to re-acquaint himself with the environment, so he temporarily transferred a platoon from another company to his company, and the dozens of troops who had just been transferred from the fleet [-] marines were added to another company responsible for defending the southern part of the village.
The original gaps and passages in the north of the village have been tightly packed by the emplacements of several artillery pieces.After adding four guns, the number of artillery deployed on the first line of defense in the north of the village has reached six.This kind of firepower greatly boosted Sun Bing's confidence. If the Jin army continued to use cavalry to launch a strong attack from the front, then these cannons would definitely leave them with unforgettable memories.
Erhe was currently on a small hill less than three miles away from Sun Bing. Of course, he was not satisfied with this morning's record. The death of hundreds of soldiers was not a big deal, but more than ten soldiers died in this battle. The name Bayala failed to open the passage into the village in time, which can be said to be quite a failure.The Haihan people did not take advantage of the war to withdraw, but continued to increase troops to the village during the truce. This has clearly demonstrated their attitude. They probably will not leave this place until they completely destroy the village.
Erhe has sent a fast horse to send the latest news to Etenyi who is fighting in the south. As for whether to retreat from the south for safety reasons, he did not give a clear opinion, but only talked about the current situation of the battle , and the rest is left to Etenyi to judge by himself.In other words, Erhe did not want to take responsibility for the withdrawal of troops, because it is easy to think that it was his unfavorable battle in the Golden State Isthmus that dragged down the frontline battle situation.
There is nothing to say about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but the Haihan army occupying this village is like a thorn in Houjin's body. Erhe still can't get around it after all. Just get out of here.So after the troops had lunch and took a short rest, he immediately launched a new round of offensive.Erhe naturally understood that there were many problems in the offensive in the morning, and it was difficult to solve them completely at the moment, but he did not dare to delay until tomorrow—the Haihan people only took one night to turn this fishing village into a fortress. Moreover, the number of troops is still increasing. If they are given another day's buffer time, it will be difficult for Erhe to imagine what kind of defensive position he will face tomorrow.
Erhe also knew that his army was no match for the Haihan people, but he still had a glimmer of hope. After all, some troops had already entered the village in the morning's offensive, but they failed to open the passage in time for the follow-up troops to rush in. will lead to failure.He specially seized the time to rest and gather the Ba Yala under his command to teach them the opportunity face to face.The task of the Ba Ya Las has changed from killing the enemy to opening and expanding the access to the village. People in the village.
Erhe has indeed observed the weaknesses of the Haihan army, and is also trying to actively seek changes, but it is a pity that the opponents have thought of these measures before him, and have prepared corresponding countermeasures.Erhe wanted to rely on the combat method in the morning to expand the results of the battle, but it didn't work.
The cavalry was still in the lead, and the Houjin army with infantry behind them launched an offensive from north to south, but this time the Haihan army did not give them a chance to approach the village at all. The six artillery pieces opened fire after the enemy cavalry came into range. Shooting, the grape bullets fired at least cleared out a no man's land more than [-] meters wide.All the post-golden troops within this range were knocked down, and no one was lucky enough to escape this round of shooting.
There was a burst of cheers in the village, and many soldiers saw this exciting scene.The gunners had already seized the time to start loading ammunition, and before the enemy cavalry rushed to the line of defense, they could conduct at least one round of shelling.
Erhe's face also turned pale with the fall of this group of troops. Of course, he noticed that the number of artillery on the village's defense line had increased significantly. Now this number has expanded to six, and just one round of shelling killed dozens of cavalry in the frontal charge.Fighting at this speed, the hundreds of cavalry left under his own hands may hardly survive until the time when Etenyi leads his troops in the south to withdraw.
And he also thought of another terrible thing, maybe the Haihan people had already deployed these cannons in the village, but they deliberately didn't show their hole cards in the morning to lure themselves to lead the attack again.So are these six cannons the only ones in Haihan's line of defense?If the Haihan people set up an ambush again, and after their own men and horses attack close, they will show a few cannons and bombard their faces, then there will be nowhere to hide.
The more Etenyi thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Since the Haihan Army clearly has the strength to fight against cavalry, they still stick to the village and do not take the initiative to attack after gaining the upper hand. expend their own forces.If he continued to spend with the Haihan people like this, his more than 2000 horsemen would soon be wiped out.If the Haihan people launch an offensive to seize the Jinzhou Isthmus at that time, wouldn't they have no power to fight back as a defender?
Etenyi realized that he had already stepped on the edge of the trap, and broke out in a cold sweat. He came back to his senses and quickly ordered: "Pass me the order, quickly withdraw the troops!"
