"Huh? Why is there still more?"
At this moment, the leader of Geer Banner, who was chatting with Li He, suddenly discovered that not long after the group of defeated troops ran away, the clatter of horse hooves came back again.
But this time it wasn't that group of people who actually turned around, but another group of people came.
"Sir, something is wrong. The way these people are dressed... and their formation..."
Li He squinted his eyes and looked at the distance. The clothes of the Mongolians were dark brown, and they preferred to use cowhide as the outer layer of fabric to increase their protection.
Secondly, they have now established a country, and many of them are even wearing new military uniforms, but the group of people opposite are all sheepskin jackets, and some are familiar gray-green cotton-padded clothes.
Not only that, but the most important thing is the formation...it's so neat!
"The feeling they give me...is very familiar!"
Li He said, unable to help but swallow.
Needless to say, Li He said that the leader of Geer Banner also found that there were obvious differences between the new group of people and the previous group.
I said before that there was no problem in defeating the army, but in front of me it looked more like a neat and orderly regular army, and the kind with the highest morale.
"Move troops! Quick! Go inside and call out more brothers, no! Just ask Ha Kezo to lead his people over!"
Geer whispered to the deputy beside him.
Hearing this, the deputy nodded and rode in quickly.
After doing this, Geer still felt uneasy and waved to the messenger soldier not far away.
"Inform the artillery leader to target an area two to three hundred meters west of Ba'a's neighboring camp and prepare for artillery fire!"
"yes!"
The messenger followed Shan Ruliu and rode away quickly.
Only now did the leader of Geer feel more relaxed.
Looking at the opposite side again, he saw that the other party had stopped walking and stopped steadily a hundred meters away from their camp.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Very good, keep doing this!"
Zhao Ming was also looking at the enemy cavalry waiting in front of him, his eyes constantly scanning the opponent's formation.
I just looked at it and felt a little surprised.
"Master Zhao, didn't you say that the Mongolians brought machine guns and artillery? Why didn't you see anything?"
The monkey was a little puzzled, and he also saw something strange.
"Don't worry about them, they're not perfect!"
Zhao Ming shook his head and then said in a deep voice, "We came here a little late. Wang Er and the others may have already entered."
These words made the hearts of everyone around him sink.
Although Wang Er and his brothers all wore cotton armor, it would not be useful if they were trapped in a tight siege, and if they faced machine gun fire, they would also be shot into pieces.
Zhao Ming rode in front and began to patrol back and forth in front of the team.
His eyes occasionally fell on the brothers from the Song Zhen army, and occasionally they fell on the herdsmen.
“Everyone performed well just now, but that’s nothing, it’s just that we were lucky!
But there is no good luck all the time on the battlefield, and a tough battle will follow!
This is the enemy's camp and garrison. There may be an artillery battalion nearby, and now our brothers are trapped inside.
I only ask one thing from you, go go go go! Kill every enemy you see along the way!
Next, there will no longer be precise instructions. Everything is focused on killing the enemy as much as possible. Let’s try to go back before dawn to have a celebration banquet, and then we will eat wine and meat with an open stomach! "
Zhao Ming turned to look at Baoshan and the other herdsmen brothers.
"And you! Don't you want to prove yourself? Are you a coward? We'll see you on the battlefield!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ming took a deep breath and turned his eyes to look straight ahead again. Everyone followed Zhao Ming's gaze and looked straight ahead in silence.
"kill!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, boom! Like a mountain torrent, thousands of cavalry rushed towards the front in neat steps.
The battlefield here has reached a fever pitch, and at the same time, the Chazhong battlefield has also reached its climax.
Inside the regiment headquarters, the staff officers were pointing at the map.
But at this moment, the adjutant who had gone and returned unexpectedly came back again.
"Why are you back again?"
Glancing at the familiar face, Captain Li frowned.
Didn't this guy previously ask the second and third battalions to each send a company to cover the first battalion's retreat to the left and right sides?
"Sir...sir! No...you don't have to go..."
The adjutant hesitated, but with his head lowered, Li Jun couldn't see his expression clearly.
"What do you mean?" Li Jun frowned.
"Come in...come in!" The adjutant did not respond to Li Jun, but turned to look outside the door.
Immediately, under the surprised eyes of Li Jun, Adjutant Zhou and all the staff, two disgraced soldiers walked in the door.
"they are....."
"These two are the messengers from the Second and Third Battalions...I...I just ran into them not far out."
"They came here..."
Vaguely, Li Jun already felt that something was wrong, but he also felt that it was unlikely.
His defense line was impregnable, and he had so much firepower to rely on. As soon as the troops came over, they started digging trenches non-stop. How could something happen?
"They came here...also for help!"
Speaking tremblingly, the adjutant took a deep breath, raised his head and showed a somewhat complicated expression, "Sir...sir...the defense line has collapsed...!"
Quiet!
It was deathly quiet. Apart from the howling wind outside, the only sound was the bellows-like breathing of Captain Li.
"Say...speak clearly!" Captain Li stared at the two messengers.
"Sir!"
The two of them lowered their heads, then fell to their knees with a bang, crying, "The Mongolians suddenly attacked us, we were caught off guard, the defense line was almost torn apart, and many company stations were already shut down one after another, I'm afraid... .I'm just afraid..."
Needless to say, Li Jun already felt a little dizzy.
Three thousand people!
The defense line of three thousand people was torn apart?
"What about your officers? The defense line is fucking broken. Why don't they come to see me on their own?" Li Jun said through gritted teeth with red eyes.
"The commander of our second battalion has died in battle. Now the commander of the third company of the second battalion has taken over the temporary command and is currently retreating closer here!"
"I... we... the third battalion are still holding the position, but most of the position has been lost and there are only two men left who can't even hold the position together!"
Listening to what the messenger said, all the staff members in the room looked at each other, and they all doubted whether they would be able to make strategic arrangements.
Although their regiment is not an elite regiment, but placed in a general regiment-level unit, it would not be too much to say that their regiment is elite.
As a result, with so many people, how long did it take for them to hold on?
"Impossible! Impossible! There is no problem with our strategic deployment. Aren't the Mongolians afraid of bullets?"
A staff officer shook his head repeatedly, feeling something was wrong.
But as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by an angry messenger.
"Afraid of bullets? Of course they are afraid of bullets! But our people couldn't even see the Mongols and they came over! By the time we found them, the brothers were already less than a hundred meters away from them!"
These words caused the staff officer to fall into silence. He looked at the dense falling snow outside the headquarters and vaguely understood something.
Negligence!
In this kind of weather, a sentry tower alone is not enough. Finally, the reconnaissance company needs to be sent out at all times to increase inspection efforts.
Not only that, the sentry tower should be set up far away from the station, with sufficient buffer zone in between.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Sir, why don't you... withdraw..." The adjutant on the side swallowed his saliva and deliberately persuaded his own officer to retreat temporarily.
After all, the Outer Mongols are not necessarily clinging to them. They still have heavy firepower here. I don’t believe that the Outer Mongols are so unafraid of death.
"withdraw?"
Captain Li asked back. He wanted to refuse directly, but after looking at Adjutant Zhou on the other side, he swallowed his refusal.
He is not afraid of death. The worst he can do is fight with the Outer Mongols here, but nothing can happen to Adjutant Zhou!
"Inform the second and third battalions to evacuate quickly. As for the first battalion... continue to hold on to the position and hold off the Outer Mongolians as much as possible. At the same time, I will send a reinforced company to support him..."
After saying this, Captain Li slumped down on his chair like a deflated ball.
A total of three thousand people. After this battle, it would be good to bring back a thousand people in the end.
The Outer Mongolians did not dare to pursue them deeply, but they would still pursue them more or less. Where two legs could outrun four legs, they had to retreat carefully.
This is also the reason why Captain Li doesn't want to retreat deep down.
Adjutant Zhou on the side watched the entire process and was dumbfounded.
Not only did Captain Li never dream of it, he was almost the same. Who could have imagined that an independent regiment of 3,000 people would be defeated in about three days after being brought from the rear to the front line.
Unfortunately, the actual battle may not even last an hour or two.
But now he doesn't dare to let Commander Li continue to hold his position. He is also afraid of death.
The mighty front line began a great rout.
On the other side, an almost similar situation was happening, but it didn't happen to Zhao Ming, but to the leader of the Geer banner.
"Why hasn't that guy He Yan sent someone over? What's the situation over there?"
The leader of the Geer banner was roaring at a scout.
His rapid breathing and flushed face showed how excited he was at this time.
The young scout groaned for a long time, and finally said with a shudder, "Sir... Sir! There is no... no one in the Balhu Department..."
"no one?"
Wenyan Geer's banner leader stood stunned on the spot, feeling as if his cerebellum had shrunk.
"How is it possible that there is no one there? There are so many people in such a big station, where are the people?"
"Sir...sir...this...I really don't know! I didn't see anyone in the past. Many bonfires were filled with more firewood, but they were almost all burned.
The camp was even more empty, except for the torches, I didn’t see anyone..."
As he said this, the young scout almost cried. Who knows why the Baerhu tribe disappeared collectively.
