"Also, according to the situation reported in these battle reports, the Zhao army's cavalry troops have arrived at our rear," said the doorman at this time.
"Our rear" Tian Heng asked suspiciously
"Yes, the battle report is right behind us," said the doorman, pulling out the battle report to prove his statement
"Why did Zhao Jun run to our rear?" Tian Heng asked at this time
"I asked General Tian. This is how General Tian answered." The doorman said at this time that General Tian is actually Tian Heng's family general, and Tian Heng is leading his own private armed forces.
"How?" Tian Heng asked at this time
"He said that the Zhao army is likely to go to the river. If that is the case, then the Zhao army is likely to destroy us on the north bank of the river, and this sign is already obvious," said the doorman.
"In front of us, there are mostly reports of infantry being attacked by infantry, but more and more reports on our sides indicate that cavalry is attacking us. The Zhao army's cavalry has already launched an attack on our flank." At this time, the doorman said helplessly.
"This..." Tian Heng was obviously frightened by this shocking news. He really didn't expect that Zhao Jun would have such a big hand.
"We have more than 8 people on the North Shore," Tian Heng said at this time.
"It's because we have 8 people, but our morale is low and our equipment is not as good as that of Zhao Jun, especially Zhao Jun's logistics supplies are supported by Qin Jun. What kind of train does Qin use to continuously transport supplies to Zhao Jun? In this way, Zhao Jun The army will be as terrifying as the Qin army," the doorman said at this time
"This..." Tian Heng was speechless. With Qin's inexhaustible logistics support, the Zhao army could intersect and cut off the Qi army on a large scale, but the Qi army could not do so. Their logistics supplies are aligned because they are far away from the mainland and the long-term stretched supply lines. The army has become very fragile, so everything has become unfavorable to the Qi army. Now what kind of situation the Qi army will face, Tian Heng began to have a clearer understanding in his mind.
"General Tian also said that there is still time for us to retreat. We just need to stabilize the situation before the Zhao army arrives to block the river. It is still possible for our people to slowly retreat to the south bank to establish a line of defense, but the problem is that we are afraid of the Zhao army." Menke said
"What?" Tian Heng asked at this time
"I'm afraid that Zhao Jun has blocked it and our people haven't been sent out yet," the doorman said at this time
"We still have more than 1000 cavalry, we should act immediately." At this time, Tian Heng suddenly realized that there might be a turning point for the situation.
"Maybe this will really help us," Menke said at this time
"I'm going to let General Tian act now." At this time, the doorman said, and Tian Heng quickly wrote the order, although the Qi army was aware of the danger at this time, they still had a sliver of hope, hoping that the Zhao army would move slowly and their reinforcements... time to keep them
But everyone knows that the Qi army is already a little late at this time. They have already lost the battle in terms of troop build-up because they did not estimate the huge transportation convenience brought by trains and modern roads to the war. A train can transport a person. The battalion's fully armed soldiers of the Zhao army were quickly transported to the destination, and the Zhao army did not need to expend any physical strength. A large amount of supplies could also be transported by train to achieve unexpected results. The loss of supplies in the middle was almost zero.
In addition, with the use of modern communication tools such as telegraph and telephone, the allied army can complete the time and speed of material and personnel transfer with only one telegraph and one telephone. The time from the start of the battle to the attack has been greatly shortened. The arrival speed of the army, especially the Zhao army, has already reached the time, and there are still many such miscalculations, which will directly lead to disastrous consequences, and the Qi army still does not know this. This is the gap in strength.
993 run
The reaction time of the Qi army is far behind that of the Zhao army and other allied forces. These are the conveniences brought by modern technology. Weapons are not only weapons with greater lethality, but also a weapon. The concept of weapons is gradually expanding and redefine
Weapons began to become a tool to extend the functions of human beings, and their nature was a tool. Modern means of transportation strengthened the legs of humans, and weapons with longer and longer killing distances deepened the functions of human upper limbs. Appearance is to strengthen human communication function, telescope is to deepen human sensory perception
The Qi army has obviously lagged far behind the Allied army in terms of sensory perception, and the Allied army has an amazing advantage in this area, and this can no longer be made up for. This is a natural deficiency. Qi cannot make up for this shortcoming
However, the soldiers of the Qi army showed another characteristic in the battle, that is, tactical flexibility. This unique tactical initiative caught the Zhao army's attack by surprise.
"Sir, the Qi army in front of us has regular fortifications to resist us," a reconnaissance second lieutenant came to report
"Our mission is to destroy all the Qi troops in front of us." A colonel of Zhao Jun said that his regiment was ordered to follow behind the cavalry and use a frontal attack to crush all the Qi army's defense lines. However, his troops encountered many obstacles on the way forward. For example, many of his infantry units were left far behind by the cavalry. The worst thing was that the supply troops were still behind, and only a few supply troops arrived and followed behind.
In addition, the artillery advances very slowly, only light artillery can barely keep up with the infantry, but the infantry lags far behind the cavalry. Overall, the Zhao army's offensive is very good strategically, but in As for the details, Zhao Jun is really not satisfactory.
However, there is no way that Yan's backward infrastructure has dragged down the entire Zhao army's march, unable to afford the roads for large generals to attack, and the transportation of heavy artillery.
In fact, Zhao Jun himself has a big problem. Although Zhao Jun has also established a staff system, the staff obviously do not have such experience and work ability to undertake such a large offensive operation process. Many of them are the first time they participated in actual combat. They only held relevant positions in the drills, but they did not actually conduct them in actual combat. They only achieved the initial rapid results with the suddenness of the cavalry at the beginning. They killed and captured a large number of soldiers from the Qi army. These soldiers Be a part of their brilliance
"It's a miracle that there is still a camp of the Qi army ahead." Apparently the colonel has been dazzled by the successive victories
"How many chiefs of staff do we have on hand?" asked the colonel
"We have less than two and a half battalions of troops, of which the artillery has only three light artillery and less than three machine guns. We still have a large number of troops far behind." At this time, a chief of staff said with a completed statistical report
"It's enough to deal with the Qi army. They have been beaten by us and don't want to take up arms anymore," the colonel said confidently.
"Order our artillery to fire over there immediately and shoot the infantry, prepare to launch an attack." The colonel looked at the field position set up by the Qi army with a telescope and hastily issued such an order.
"But sir, our artillery shells are seriously insufficient. If we fire for less than 5 minutes, we will run out of shells," the lieutenant colonel chief of staff suggested.
"This is an order from the military commander, shouldn't the chief of staff issue an order?" The colonel issued an order arbitrarily at this time. From the colonel's point of view, setting up a position like the chief of staff is useless. They will not do anything. They will only give this or It is such an order, and they can't do anything when they give orders and make decisions. Therefore, in many cases, the military commander and the chief of staff of the Zhao army are not in a cooperative relationship but an antagonistic relationship. out of suggestions
Although Zhao Jun has established a complete staff system, he obviously has not learned its essence.
"Sir, there is a big problem with your order." The chief of staff still dutifully expressed his opinion at this time
"The order has been issued, Chief of Staff, do you want to participate in the battle?" At this time, the colonel turned around and asked
"This" chief of staff knows his current situation. The relationship between the chief of staff and the commander is not very good, because the chief of staff will take the initiative to deal with some situations during the march. In this situation, the chief of staff obviously has to bear a lot of responsibility. Because many combat units did not arrive
"Huh" the Chief of Staff exhaled deeply.
"Okay," the Chief of Staff reluctantly agreed.
"Immediately launch an artillery attack and order our infantry to prepare for an attack," the colonel said at this time
The Chief of Staff reluctantly agrees that he himself is against such an attack
On the opposite side, a general of the Qi army was also in the trench to check the situation on the other side.
"We can't resist Zhao Jun's attack at all," the general said while looking at the opposite situation with a telescope
"Look at Zhao Jun's equipment on the opposite side. Although the artillery is small, the killing range and power are far higher than ours, and their rifles have a shooting range that is even higher than ours. Now that our morale is so low, it is impossible to resist the opponent. attack," said the general
"But general, if we stick to our position, we can also hold our position." A Qi army officer asked at this time
"Guardian" asked the general
"We can't hold it at all, we have to leave here," the general said at this time
"Do you know that this is the commanding height? Under normal circumstances, the Zhao army will desperately seize this position, and they have cannons, while we only have two old-fashioned cannons. This kind of battle can't be won at all. Even if we do, our losses will increase a lot. This is right. We are really at a disadvantage, so I deployed the troops behind the commanding heights, using their textbooks to call it the reverse slope," the general said at this time.
It turned out that the general had already figured out that the Zhao army would definitely take advantage of their artillery to launch an attack, and the Qi army obviously couldn't make up for this shortcoming in this regard. They only had riflemen with rifles in their hands, and they were too lacking in artillery. Therefore, he set his main battlefield at a commanding height to attract the Zhao army to attack. At the same time, he put the main force on the reverse slope, because the artillery will not pay attention to what is behind the mountain.
But in the front position, he only put in less than 200 decoy troops, and the real attack was on the reverse slope.
"Boom" the general just finished his thoughts, and Zhao Jun's artillery roared towards the Qi Army's position
"Huh" a shell roared and bombarded this way
"Boom!" There was a huge explosion, and Zhao Jun's shells fired recklessly.
"Hidden is hidden," a veteran of the Qi army shouted loudly
"Boom" the artillery shells kept hitting veterans' shouts, and the howling sound of the artillery shells was constantly accompanied by the wounded. Those wounded's unstoppable wailing made the battlefield become so chaotic all of a sudden.
"These sons of bitches Zhao people" generals can only dodge in the trenches. The shells that keep flying make everyone panic. They are praying that the shells will not fall in their trenches.
