The wrong choice of the login site and the extremely inappropriate exposing the supreme commander to the opponent's gun on the battlefield that was already wrong was the main reason why the 47th Infantry Regiment lost more than half of the losses in just half an hour of battle.

Although Pan Qian, the Black Hawk Imperial Army Army, who had taken over the 47th Infantry Regiment, watched his four infantry squadrons exhausted on the empty sandbars, the extremely expensive folding boats equipped by the two engineers could return less than one-third, and the engineers suffered heavy losses, he was not as impulsive as his boss who had been carried back but had long been unrecognizable. Not only did he not continue to launch an angrily attack, but instead commanded the thousand infantry and engineers who were still on the bank of the river to retreat more than 800 meters.

Based on the half-hour battle just now, as an experienced army commander, he had estimated that the kingdoms' favorite mortars were as high as 10, and even had more than several 41 mountain cannons. The two sides were only 800 meters apart, and they were still within the range of their opponents' mortars and mountain cannons without field trenches.

In other words, the Black Hawk Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had lost more than one infantry brigade, simply admitted his conscience and had no intention of continuing to attack. Instead, he would rather be beaten up by his irritable lieutenant general division commander than to ruin another infantry brigade of the rebel in the surging river.

Pan Qian's caution saved the infantry brigade of the 47th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division, which had been completely dispelled. When the main forces of the two infantry registrars who rushed to arrive two and a half hours later arrived and immediately entered the attack, the remaining soldiers of the 47th Infantry Regiment, who did not participate in the first ferry operation, were extremely grateful to their somewhat "cowardly" agent corps captain.

Because the kingdom people on the opposite side had not fully exposed their fangs. Because the position was far away from the sandbank and did not want to expose all firepower points at once, Chen Sheng's infantry company deployed on the rightmost wing of the entire position, except for the mortars participating in the artillery bombardment, the other light and heavy machine guns and two machine guns did not fire at all. Similarly, the two machine guns deployed on the leftmost wing of the defensive position were also waiting quietly.

The terrible whip formed when four machine guns with a flat firing range of up to 2,000 meters were fired. Not to mention the fragile folding boats and the wooden boats found by the Black Hawk Army on the river, even the light gunboats that the navy supported them were beaten to the point of sparks and flee in a panic.

Of course, Pan Qian cautiously retreated the entire army to a farther place, which was a bit too overestimated the 48th Regiment. The artillery bombardment that had lasted more than 15 minutes just now allowed the 48th Regiment to use more than three-quarters of the reserves of shells transported to the riverside. Xie Yunsheng personally sent a telegram to ask for shell support from the Lieutenant General in the city, and was directly scolded by his own commander in the telegram.

Originally, the 43rd Army came to guard Huangsu City this time, and the Third War Zone Command was still very generous. The old saying goes: "If you want a horse to run, you can't let the horse not eat grass." Except for the lack of military force, you can give whatever you want. These 82 mortars are given to all young and old. However, it is distributed according to five mortars per infantry regiment. Otherwise, no matter how many shells are given, if you don't have a cannon, you can only show it to see it?

The 48th Regiment was going to fight the riverside to fight the blocking, and the Lieutenant General of the Army was also very generous and allocated one-eighth of the entire army's artillery shell reserves to him. In other words, that was half of the artillery shell reserves of all the battles of the 48th Regiment. But there was no idea that because of the appearance of Chen Sheng's infantry company, they had six more mortars out at once. In addition, the Black Hawk Empire who climbed the sandbank were so obvious that the artillery soldiers were really excited and almost wiped out all the artillery shells that should have supported the entire blocking battle in one breath.

How can a lieutenant general not go crazy? In half an hour, you killed one-eighth of the entire army's shell reserves, and let you fight for another half of the shells. You don't want to kill half of the shells in the entire army? According to this progress, even if the other infantry regiments cannot be fired at one shot, you can't hold on for three days if you play in the 48th regiment!

Fortunately, first of all, with the support of the record, the result of killing hundreds of Black Hawk Empires in one battle. In addition, this regiment commander Xie is thick-skinned and has the spirit of persevering in the artillery shells if you scold me to death. In the end, the military headquarters sent a supply battalion to transport 500 shells to him. If 11 mortars were allowed to fire at full speed, they would probably have to be empty in five minutes. You said that the gunners of the 48th Regiment were willing to waste not many shells into the Black Hawk Army that could not be seen clearly!

Xie Yunsheng, who ordered the rebuilding of the artillery position about 600 meters behind the position, said that except for bombing the Black Hawk Army that was about to land on the bank of the river, the artillery team dared to attack other places and would deal with it with military law.

This is the tragedy of the soldiers of the kingdom of this era. If they had sufficient shells, not to mention Pan Qian voluntarily retreating 800 meters, even if it was 1,500 meters, as long as the range of the mortar was sufficient, the overwhelming shells would probably sweep over.

The Black Hawk Empire men who were licking the wounds retreated first and waited for the main force to arrive. After a brief cheer, the officers and soldiers of the 48th Regiment on the position did not sit idle and wait. The heavy firepower point exposed just now changed positions and rebuilt the fortifications. Although they fought happily just now, the Black Hawk Empire's reconnaissance balloons did not take off. When the main force of the Black Hawk Army artillery arrived a little later, they would probably not be so lucky.

If you want to survive the artillery fire of the Black Hawk Empire Army, you cannot be stingy with your physical strength. In addition, you have just won a battle, and the morale of the entire 48th Regiment is extremely high, and the efficiency is even much higher than before.

However, the battle just now was indeed worthy of the pride of the officers and soldiers of the 48th Regiment. I wouldn't say that they almost wiped out the Black Hawk Empire people on the sandbank. Because their positions were well constructed and their camouflage was well done, the artillery soldiers who had always fought very accurately did not cause much damage to the 48th Regiment in this battle. Except for the two heavy machine gun fire points being overturned by the 75 mountain cannon air waves that exploded 12 meters away, several machine gun shooters were injured, that is, more than a dozen infantry were hit by the shrapnel of the infantry artillery, and only 16 were injured, and only 3 were killed in the battle. It can be said that they were a complete victory.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After half an hour of statistics, the battle report of more than 600 Black Hawk Army killed and injured, and only 20 casualties on our side made several lieutenant generals and major generals in the military headquarters in the city unbelievable. If Xie Yunsheng had not had enough character guarantees, several generals might have personally brought the law enforcement team to investigate. If there was a false report on the record, the army colonel might not be able to save his good head in such a war.

Fortunately, the Black Hawk Army, who escaped by chance on the sandbank, took away the bodies of Shangguan, such as their corpses and squadron commanders, but most of the corpses of ordinary soldiers were not able to restrain themselves, and they were still lying on the sandbank. The battalion commander of the baggage battalion directly under the military headquarters, who was ordered to send shells, took the telescope and just took a look and confirmed that the 48th Regiment's record was real. When he left, he also took away the bodies of 16 wounded soldiers and 3 dead soldiers.

Throughout the afternoon, the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army who were waiting for the battle in Huangsu City were discussing the 48th Regiment's record, and their fear of the Black Hawk Imperial Army was also much less. Without planes and artillery, the Black Hawk Imperial people were different from carrying a head on their shoulders, and they died quickly if they were shot.

It can be said that the unexpected victory of the 48th Regiment in the first battle was not the 48th Regiment, but the entire 43rd Army. This laid an extremely solid psychological foundation for the hard battle in the city in the next two or three days without retreating. Colonel Qu Zhe, who had been shot by an unknown soldier in the kingdom, did not know that because of his stupidity, not only made the "strongest division on the surface" lose all face, but also gave the opponent more courage to fight against the 6th Division.

Ding Beiwei was very angry and furious.

When he received a telegram from the 47th Infantry Regiment at the forefront, no one dared to approach the lieutenant general who was less than 1.6 meters tall, short legs and thick neck. If he tied an apron, he would be ten meters away from the side of the army's lieutenant general who looked like a kingdom chef.

Lieutenant General of the Black Hawk Empire Army closed his lips tightly, his cheeks raised a terrible curve, his eyes were cold, and he sat in the car with his lieutenant general's command knife with both hands. He had been sitting in the car without saying a word for 30 minutes. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that this is a symptom of the irritable Lieutenant General of the Army who wants to kill.

Two months ago, because a small team searched for the remnants of the Kingdom army, they were ambushed in a village by an infantry company of the Kingdom and were killed in battle. The lieutenant general with his lips closed first ordered the lieutenant of the infantry squadron where the squadron was located to apologize to His Majesty, and then ordered two infantry squadrons to surround the village with a population of thousands and issued a military order to slaughter the village.

Thousands of kingdoms, from old men in their seventies to infants, were all massacred. Even the anger of Ding Beiwei ordered the slaughter of the kingdom villages that had passed by. In Gujing City alone, the number of people in the kingdom was slaughtered because of his orders was as high as 9,000.

And this time, the Imperial Army was killed due to a command error, and there were hundreds of people. What kind of terrible actions would this lieutenant general of the Black Hawk Empire Army do? No one knew, even Colonel Zhou Yu, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, and did not dare to come over to ask.

Until he arrived at the Jiafu River bank in Huangsucheng area, he had not yet waited for the acting corps of 47th Infantry Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Pan Qian, to lead the remaining gang of officers to the division headquarters to apologize. The cold light flashed in his eyes and issued a military order: "Order, all lieutenant-level and above officers involved in the first echelon attack of the 47th Infantry Regiment and the 6th Engineer Regiment, all the officers at the lieutenant level and above who participated in the attack of the first echelon will be loyal to His Majesty! The 6th Division needs warriors rather than cowards."

The Black Hawk Army officers led by Pan Qian were all looked dissatisfied, but they were silent and no one dared to question this military order. Even the number of officers above the lieutenant who retired from the first echelon and were injured was as many as six.
