Chapter 1448 Ambush
In terms of the advanced level of battlefield information synchronization, the Haihan Army is absolutely uniquely powerful in this world. Relying on the black technology brought by time travel, the Haihan Army can instantly transmit battlefield information between senior generals, thus
Gain the upper hand in the battle. As an opponent with a closed environment and lagging information, it is difficult for Houjin to realize Haihan's huge advantage in this regard, so when taking action, he did not take this factor into consideration at all.
.
The news that the main force of the garrison led by Yang Guli was defeated by Haihan in the decisive battle reached Jijiabao nearly an hour after the battle ended. And the order they received here was for them to "wait for an opportunity to retreat to Jin Dynasty"
"Zhoucheng". The so-called "waiting for opportunities" means to put it bluntly, you have to take care of it yourself. If you have the chance to escape, escape as soon as possible. If you are slow and are intercepted by the Haihan army, you will have to bear the consequences.
Of course, when the news reached Jijiabao, it was already much later than Wang Tom. While the defenders were still hesitating whether to abandon the city and flee, the Marines led by Wang Tom were already in the north of Jijiabao.
An ambush was set up on the official road at Liuqili, waiting for the Jin army to step in after the retreat.
Just when Wang Tom was about to lose his patience, the Hou Jin army that had withdrawn from Jijiabao finally appeared in sight. Yang Guli had taken away most of the Jijiabao defenders, leaving only them here.
A team of about a thousand people. This deployment was naturally based on a bet that Haihan would not use Jijiabao as the real main attack direction. He was right in his bet, but unfortunately he still failed to defeat Haihan's main force in a head-on confrontation.
.As for the few troops left behind in Jijiabao, it is naturally impossible to stop Haihan's offensive. There is no other more suitable solution except running away.
Wang Tom, who was just holding back his anger, did not intend to let go of the Hou Jin army lightly. The combat opportunity he planned was to ambush and severely damage the opponent, avenging his suppression by Hou Jin the day before.
The battle started with the explosion of several landmines, which were the last remaining stocks in the entire Liaodong region. Wang Tom deployed all of them on the only way for the Jin army to pass.
When the vanguard of the Hou Jin Army was disgraced by these explosions, several artillery pieces ambush in the bushes on both sides of the official road also showed their ferocious features. The volleys of grape bullets killed more than 200 people in the vanguard.
Most of them lay down immediately, and the remaining enemies who had not yet awakened to the enemy's hiding place were subjected to intensive rifle fire, and they were all killed in just a few seconds.
The main force of the Chinese army, which was more than ten feet away from the vanguard, did not even have time to react, and watched helplessly as the vanguard was quickly eliminated by Haihan, followed by the continuous sound of shouts from the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.
Gunshots.
Although the Marine Corps is not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, even so, it is enough to deal with the desperate post-Jin army who wanted to escape back to Jinzhou City. After two rounds of volleys, the casualties were not large, but the position was not.
It was already in chaos, and what was even more unlucky was that their commander was shot and killed in the first round of attacks. This unit, which originally had a weak will to fight, immediately turned into a headless fly.
With the military quality of the Marine Corps, it is no problem to deal with an enemy force that has no intention of fighting in a well-established ambush circle. Although Tom Wang did not go into battle in person, he could be considered to be on the front line to command the operation. This also shows that he has a deep understanding of this situation.
The outcome of a battle is extremely important. If possible, he really intends to annihilate this Jin army, so he will be violent and merciless when he strikes.
However, there is also a considerable proportion of cavalry in this post-Jin army, so it is unrealistic for Wang Tom to completely block the enemy's path. He was originally worried that these post-Jin cavalry would try to detour back to his preset
A counterattack was launched from behind the position, but after the fight, it was discovered that these Houjin cavalry had no fighting will at all. They relied on their own horse riding to slip away quickly. After escaping, they directly abandoned the infantry who were still under siege and fled north.
He had no intention of returning to save him.
Wang Tom did not have an organized cavalry unit, so it was impossible to keep these cavalry troops. However, those Houjin infantrymen who used cold weapons were in dire straits. They could not escape and could not get closer to the Haihan army.
At a combat distance, they can only be used as human targets to shoot at. The anger of the Marines who were suppressed and beaten by the Jin Army yesterday was finally vented here.
The battle only lasted about ten minutes and came to an end. Except for the nearly two hundred cavalrymen who escaped on their own, the rest were basically surrounded by the Marines, including about three hundred prisoners. Wang Tom
Although he did not want to keep these prisoners, he was not cold enough to order the execution of these prisoners. Anyway, the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line will definitely undergo major renovations in the future, so it is normal for these prisoners to be used as hard labor.
Arranged.
Sun Bing, commander of the first company of the Marine Corps, achieved a lot in this battle. Not only did he kill the enemy commander, but he also intercepted a batch of money that he planned to transport back to the north. According to preliminary statistics, these two boxes
The gold, silver and jewelry should also be valuable, and converted into silver, it would be at least 40,000 to 60,000 taels. After the report, all the generals ordered the generals to dig through several strongholds on the defense line to see if they could
There were valuable belongings that the Jin army had no time to evacuate.
At the other end of the defense line at Sujiabao, the situation was clearer than at Jijiabao. As Qian Tiandun said, Harugong's grasp of the fighter planes was quite accurate. As soon as the Jin army showed signs of retreat, he
Then he led the cavalry battalion into Sujiapu, and then bit the opponent's tail. The Hou Jin army originally stationed in Sujiapu paid a price of nearly 500 people before they could escape.
At this point, the Hou Jin Army on the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line has been cleared by Haihan, and the defense fortifications across the Jinzhou Isthmus has changed hands and become Haihan's control area. However, in the battles in the past few days, the Haihan Army will
Several fortresses were riddled with holes, and such a large hole was forcibly removed in the middle. To restore these places to their original state, the amount of work would not be too small. And the Haihan Army would definitely not completely use the old ones.
The fortifications will definitely be greatly modified on this basis, and this line of defense will be built into a fortification with Haihan characteristics. Judging from the current manpower conditions, this construction period may not last until the next year.
Of course, the military will not mind this kind of trouble. The Jinzhou Isthmus is the northern border of the Haihan territory. In order to maintain the security of this place, it is reasonable to apply for more military expenditures. And if nothing else, the special operations battalion is here
After completing the spring offensive, they will leave Liaodong. In order to hold on to this extra enclave, they will have to mobilize additional troops. With Haihan's current deployment situation, it will be necessary to increase the number of troops.
As long as the army can be expanded, it will not be a bad thing for the military. Whether it is the navy or the army, the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense will definitely be happy to see it happen. Moreover, the new idea of building the army proposed by the Ministry of National Defense is a mixed establishment, that is, a
An army should not only have infantry, but also fixed establishments of artillery, cavalry, engineers and other arms, so that every time there is a war, there is no need to deploy corresponding arms from everywhere to improvise an army. This kind of organization will greatly improve the army.
Of course, the combat effectiveness will be followed by an inevitable increase in military expenditures. The new army organization method will inevitably encounter many resistances in the process of promotion, but the military will definitely spare no effort to promote this plan.
The most effective promotion measure is the good news of victory on the battlefield. Only real victory can allow the senior officials with different opinions on the Executive Committee to come to a unified understanding and pass the application of the military. And the results of the Haihan Spring Offensive
It is undoubtedly the biggest gain in the foreign war in the past two years. It not only gained a foothold in Liaodong, but also caused a certain degree of blow to Hou Jin. Although it may not really hurt Hou Jin, at least it
If they want to go south to attack the Ming Dynasty in the future, they will have one more thing to worry about. Haihan is on the Jinzhou Peninsula. If Hou Jin wants to mobilize troops, he must first weigh Haihan's attitude.
Of course, in order for the Executive Committee to recognize the military's performance in Liaodong and the subsequent military reform measures proposed, there are still many details that need to be worked on when writing the report. Especially those topics that are very sensitive to civilian officials, and even more
It is necessary to polish it carefully so that the other party cannot easily catch the pigtails.
After finishing the work on the battlefield, Qian Tiandun called Chen Yixin and asked him to start arranging the writing of post-war report documents. For this kind of thing, the military official usually writes a draft, and then the generals review it to see where it is needed.
Those who make revisions and additions will be slowly improved and then sent back to the Ministry of National Defense in Sanya, where they will review and revise again before submitting them to the Executive Committee.
Chen Yixin remembered something and took the initiative to recommend a candidate: "Liu Shang from the Youth League also came to Liaodong with the army this time, and now he is temporarily serving as a clerk in the army, managing logistics affairs. Although this person's education level is not high, but
He does have some brains and is quite familiar with publicity. I think we can let him join in the writing of the report."
Qian Tiandun knew Liu Shang, but it was Chen Yixin who made the decision about his appointment, and he had not had much involvement before. Qian Tiandun didn't think much about Liu Shang's reliability. After all, he was an official of the Youth League.
, is a qualified naturalized citizen who passed the political examination in Sanya, and there is no reason to doubt his loyalty. However, neither Chen Yixin nor Qian Tiandun, with their experience of traveling through two time and space, can hardly imagine that Liu Shang's identity is
How to pass Haihan's numerous reviews and enter the officialdom and become an official with a stable identity that would not arouse suspicion.
When Liu Shang received the notice, he was taking several logistics soldiers to count the inventory of ammunition. He was not dissatisfied with being assigned to this logistics position. In this position, he could come into contact with many weapons and equipment that he had been thinking about before, and he had been
Staying at the rear is not life-threatening, so it can be considered a relatively satisfying job.
And based on his work experience in the past few months, he realized one thing, that is, the more positions and places he has worked in, the more trust he can gain. Even if he has not made any achievements in these temporary positions,
What a great achievement, but it is beneficial to his professional resume. Especially this experience of going out with the army, which undoubtedly played a gilding role for his status as a Youth League official, even if he didn't even score half a point.
He won't receive any military merits, but in the future his resume will at least have the honorable record of "In a certain month of a certain year, he accompanied a certain unit of the Haihan Army to conquer Liaodong and won the great victory in Jinzhou with the army."
Taking advantage of this period of time when he was on duty in the army, Liu Shang figured out many issues, such as the rifles installed in the Haihan Army are divided into several calibers, what are the differences in the ammunition of each caliber, and what are the new weapons grenades and landmines?
What is the principle, and what kind of shells are used in the new artillery?
Of course, even if he has access to this kind of military secret, he is still at the stage where he knows it but does not know why, and it is impossible to package and leak its manufacturing technology. In addition to lamenting that Haihan's military technology is too advanced,
Liu Shang also secretly said to Hou Jin that he wanted to finish it. With such a powerful opponent, the hard days have just begun.
Even if he does not know the future plans of the Ministry of National Defense, Liu Shang believes that Haihan will not easily compromise or even negotiate peace with Hou Jin. According to his feelings after contacting the northern garrison during this period, he even thinks that the military is likely to take advantage of this situation.
Contradictory conflicts maintained the state of war with Hou Jin in the Liaodong area for a long time, and even turned Liaodong into a place for the military to train troops. This idea is very bold, but Liu Shang believes that with the military's style of conduct, adding
In the environment of Liaodong where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, nothing is completely impossible.
After receiving the notice from Chen Yixin, Liu Shang also roughly guessed the reason why he was called up. Propaganda war was originally a skill he had developed when he was a storyteller in the past. After entering Haihan, he received systematic training. General military Chinese
It is indeed difficult to compare with him in terms of book creation ability. Chen Yixin took a fancy to himself and naturally hoped that he could weave the Liaodong War into a story that could be spread easily, and win a higher popularity for the Haihan military through word of mouth.
Support rate.
It's just that this job is not easy. After all, Liu Shang was at the second-line base counting ammunition during the war. He didn't see the cruel scenes of the battle between the two armies. Naturally, it was difficult to make up a story based on nonsense. So Liu Shang received the task
The first thing after the mission is to go to the front line of the Jinzhou Isthmus to witness the rock-solid positions claimed by the military.
Liu Shang had seen a lot of corpses in the past, but the enemy corpses he saw on the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line were probably more than he had seen in his entire life. This kind of visual impact was quite powerful, even with his usual
With a calm mind, it took him a long time to really calm down. It wasn't until he saw the bloody and tragic scenes outside the position that he was convinced that Haihan had indeed won a shocking victory here.
