On the battlefields of ancient and modern times, night attack is a clever move, but it is also a dangerous move.
Most ancient people were malnourished and therefore looked like blind people at night.
When you can't see anything, you will definitely feel panicked. Once you get a little stimulation, bombing the camp is inevitable.
Many battles were won through night attacks.
In the same way, in order to ensure the suddenness of a night attack, it is necessary to travel lightly and simply, and to minimize the amount of equipment carried with you.
In this case, once discovered by the enemy, a fully equipped army attacking an army without armor can be said to be devastating.
At this time, the situation of the Qing army was even worse.
On the flat ground with an unobstructed view, and without any armor or shields, faced with a storm of musketry from the Wehrmacht, hundreds of people were killed in the blink of an eye.
Luckard was so overwhelmed that he didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly gave the order.
"Run at full speed and shoot arrows!"
At a time of life and death, when victory or defeat was at stake, he made a mistake.
It's still a common sense mistake.
At this time, the forwards of the Qing army who attacked at night were still about 150 meters away from the National Defense Forces. Even the sharp archers in the Qing army could not display their strength at such a long distance.
However, the night attack was discovered by the National Defense Forces, which made the Qing army panic. They had no time to judge whether the order was right or wrong, so they could only follow it.
As a result, a chaotic rain of arrows rose into the sky, and then all of them were inserted into the land in front of the Wehrmacht formation.
Seeing this scene, Yu Lichun and others simply laughed.
"We have already won this battle."
There are flares in the sky to provide vision, but the opponent has little protection. In addition, they are infantry, so their running speed is very limited.
The Wehrmacht has never fought such a relaxed and comfortable battle.
The musket array was constantly rotating, pinning the Qing army at a distance of one hundred meters.
It seemed that there was some invisible barrier at this distance, and no matter how hard the Qing army tried to charge, they could not cross it.
Luck Dehun was also shot in the left leg and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, people behind him swarmed in, and their big feet kept stepping on him.
He didn't dare to stand up again to avoid being knocked down, which would be even worse. He could only try to curl up and protect his vitals.
As for how many times he was stepped on and kicked, he could no longer remember. He only felt that all the bones in his body were almost scattered, and his consciousness was also hazy.
The fearless, hopeless and helpless charge lasted for half an hour, and more than three-quarters of the 20,000 Qing troops were killed.
The rich smell of blood floated in the middle of the night, finally making the remaining Qing troops realize their fear.
They were afraid.
They no longer dare to describe themselves as warriors and brave.
They just want to escape from this hell on earth as soon as possible, even if they will be executed by military law when they return.
Seeing the remaining Qing troops fleeing, Yu Lichun and others knew that the outcome of this blocking battle was about to be decided.
The 36th Regiment slowly stepped forward and began to clean the battlefield with the help of flares.
"Here's a live one."
Luck Dehun was discovered.
However, the Wehrmacht soldiers did not recognize his identity.
Without the armor and the fact that he is younger, he is no different from an ordinary Qing soldier.
The descendants of Nurhachi became prisoners in a daze.
Duduo had already led the main force behind and waited eagerly. As soon as Luck Dehun opened up the situation, he would follow the whole army to cover up the attack.
As a result, what he heard was the roar of the uniformly dense muskets of the National Defense Forces.
The sky was as densely populated with flares as stars, letting him know that his plan had failed.
Is it really impossible to go back to my hometown thousands of miles away?
Extremely disappointed, Duduo became increasingly depressed and depressed. He even failed to account for the soldiers who had escaped.
Luck Dehun disappeared, and he didn't care.
With the war going so far, how many Qing generals have died?
The night finally passed and the sun returned to the world.
When the light filled the earth, the Ninth Division, which had already had breakfast, drove out of the camp one after another and set up an attack formation on both sides of the flat Hutuo River.
The Qing army has used up all their tricks, and now it's their turn.
Dodo's eyes were bloodshot and his young face was unshaven.
No one knew that there was a hint of timidity in his heart.
When the Qing army was allowed to attack, the Ninth Division was impregnable and unbreakable. Now that the Ninth Division has turned from defense to attack, can the Qing army stop it?
Just as the Qing army was waiting in fear for the battle to begin, a group of men and horses rushed into the camp from the south.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese army from the south is coming, and I really can't stop it."
Zhun Ta, covered in blood, knelt in front of Duduo, but the military information he spoke made all the Qing army generals shudder.
When Duduo attacked forward, he placed the quasi tower in Yuanping, responsible for the second wave of blocking.
According to Duduo's prediction, there are two tiger generals in Taiyuan, Neksai and Yuanping, who can hold off the Sixth Division for ten days and a half.
But they never expected that the Sixth Division would arrive so quickly.
Duduo endured dizziness and climbed up to the high platform, looking southward with a telescope.
Smoke and dust billowed, and the earth was in panic.
A huge force of soldiers and horses is slowly advancing.
One infantry phalanx after another was exactly the same as the Ninth Division, which had completely blocked the Qing army's retreat.
The two armies prepared to deal with Duduo finally completed the encirclement.
After many days of fierce fighting and division of troops, Duduo only had less than 50,000 troops in his hands.
But the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division combined totaled nearly 90,000 troops.
This is an unrivaled force.
At this moment, Duduo has to endure the disaster.
Riding on horseback, seeing that the battle had not yet started, Jian Zongan's heart finally returned to his stomach.
"Fortunately, there was no delay. I can explain to His Majesty when I go back."
Zhang Tao was in a very happy mood.
"We have completed our mission, but Dodo will feel uncomfortable."
All the generals laughed and looked forward to the upcoming great battle.
"Although we are temporarily unable to contact the Ninth Division, the strategy of a north-south pincer attack has long been perfected. We will only attack our own and squeeze through."
The generals of the Sixth Division took orders one after another and rushed to various places to command the troops to start advancing.
There was less and less space left for the Qing army.
Behind the large infantry square formation, the artillerymen of the Sixth Division were all working bravely and were deploying their heavy artillery as far forward as possible, striving to hit every corner of the battlefield.
The camps set up by the Qing army in the wild were about to suffer a devastating blow.
However, the battle began neither on Lichun's side nor on Jian Zong'an's side, but on the 37th Regiment of the Ninth Division deployed on the south bank of the Hutuo River.
Since it was a general offensive, the 37th Regiment, which was originally defending the south bank, also had to switch from defense to offense.
The 37th Regiment, which had long been prepared, first used light artillery to cover Bolo's defense line with artillery fire.
After disrupting the deployment of the Qing army, the engineers of the National Defense Force stepped forward and pushed the pontoon into the water.
In less than half an hour, man-made passages made the north and south sides look like smooth roads.
When Bolo saw this scene amid the artillery fire, he could no longer think of resisting.
