Chapter 1067 They are all backbone
Second Lieutenant Fang fled back to his own formation again, leading 28 people, a total of 42 death squads, including him and Chi Zaosi, who had 12 Black Hawks before the independent regiment position, including 4 people who were accidentally injured by his own artillery fire and 8 people were shot dead by the kingdoms.
To be honest, if the three soldiers had not been exhausted in the artillery fire and were relieved to see them fleeing wildly, they might have lost more.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei had already returned to his command center, and he was too lazy to even look at the "Imperial Warriors" who were running fast again.
The local lieutenant finally had the opportunity to enjoy the gentleness of the female nurse and could reband the wound. This time, he retreated with Shangguan's permission.
When night fell, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei received a report of the afternoon war damage.
Although it was expected, 305 people were killed in the infantry squadron and 107 people were injured; 26 people were killed in the heavy machine gun squadron and 16 people were injured. 13 people were killed in the battle due to the sudden artillery attack by the enemy; 32 people were injured in the battle squadron and 19 people were injured; 17 people were killed in the battle 1st squadron of the division directly under the chariot brigade, and the huge casualties reported by the 17 people were killed in the battle.
Due to the strengthening of the artillery squad, his 1st Infantry Battalion was over 1,180 people, 80 more than the ordinary Infantry Battalion. However, in the first battle of Beizhao Pass, his four infantry squadrons were defeated, and the shooters of the heavy machine gun squadron were almost completely injured and killed, accounting for almost half of the combat troops, and the casualty rate was as high as 55%.
This is probably the highest casualty rate at the level of the entire northern dispatched army brigade since entering the kingdom in July!
However, being the highest is not a good thing. Thinking about the orders that the division commander summoned all major officers and above before leaving, the old Lieutenant Colonel's face was gloomy. I'm afraid that the brigade commander would not be able to save him this time.
The heavy casualties can also be said to be the result of the heroic battle of the Empire's warriors who fought to the death. But what made Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei even more serious was that the equipment losses were even worse.
The infantry brigade threw the frontier and even had no body to recover the body, but the guns were more than 200, but the guns were lost. The entire brigade had only more than 680 rifles, and this time it lost 232; 12 light machine guns on the battlefield lost 5, 8 heavy machine guns, and 2 were blown into parts during the fierce mortar bombing of the kingdoms; 6 infantry artillery pieces of the artillery squadron directly under the wing, one of which was destroyed by the shells, not to mention the cannon body, even the strong gun barrels were turned into a scattered shape. A mountain cannon fell into the ravine because of the pack horse. Judging from the crooked appearance of the fall, it was probably only possible to return to the furnace to be scrap iron; the three Type 94 tanks of the tank squadron were destroyed, and two of the five Type 89 medium tanks were also destroyed by the kingdoms' machine guns, and now there was still blue smoke on the position.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei was staring at the war loss report, thinking desperately how to report to Colonel Luo Min, the captain of the corps, who was waiting for him to report the situation of the war.
In the front line tunnel command of Beizhaoguan, Liu Lang also looked at the first battalion's battle damage report and his face turned blue.
The First Battalion of the Independent Regiment suffered a lot of losses under the attack of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Black Hawk Army at Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei.
In the first company that went to the position, 35 people were killed on the spot, 47 people were seriously injured, of which 18 were seriously injured, and 7 were sacrificed during the rescue process. The shock wave of the shell hurts the internal organs, let alone the doctors have no solution to the current medical technology, even in the future, the doctors can only be helpless.
The first and second platoons with the most casualties, two main infantry squads, one infantry squad had only 3 people left, and the other infantry squad had eight of them after the last shelling of the Black Hawks. In addition to the wounded soldiers they were rescuing in the rear, they could not get together an infantry squad.
So when Cen Changqing asked to go to the field hospital with crying voice to guard his soldier's operation, Liu Lang agreed without saying a word.
Liu Lang didn't care about the loss of equipment, but for every soldier he lost, although Liu Lang had no expression on his face, only those who were familiar with him knew how sad he would feel.
Every soldier here, at least, has been at the Independent Corps Base for three years, and some have even followed him for five years. In more than a thousand days, he has long since turned from strangers to brothers. Everyone here is his fellow countrymen and brothers.
He has used five years to earn money desperately, arming his troops to the teeth with permission to the maximum extent, turning them from a farmer to a well-trained warrior.
Their will is tenacious enough to face the enemy's artillery fire and will not retreat; their execution ability is extremely firm. Even when facing the terrible 105 howitzer, they will enter the position without hesitation; they are the most elite soldiers of this era.
However, the more this happens, the sadder Liu Lang, who has become more and more integrated into this era.
They all face and welcome death under his command.
On the battlefield, he might be the Colonel Commander who ruthlessly regarded the casualties of soldiers as cold numbers, but at the end of the battle, he was just a 26-year-old young man. Facing his brothers' departure one after another, he felt heartbroken.
Because he could have adopted better tactics to use the existing maneuver power and a large number of equipment of mortars and special forces to use maneuverable harassment against the Black Hawk Imperial Army in front of him. While killing and injuring the enemy in large quantities, he could also reduce his own casualties.
Just like the future Syrian war, the anti-army drove pickup trucks, equipped with mortars, resilient cannons or rocket launchers and bombed the military camps thousands of meters away, and then escaped. Once the government army pursued, the biggest possibility was not to pursue the enemy and wipe out the enemy, but to blow up the bombs buried on the roadside. Without a large number of air force escorts, any army could only knock their teeth and swallow them in the stomach when facing this situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Moreover, Liu Lang can also learn from the experience of Agriculture against the fighting nation in the 1980s, and withdraw all officers and soldiers to the mountains in platoons to fight guerrilla warfare with the Black Hawk Empire. Liu Lang has every reason to believe that the independent regiment that occupied geographical benefits and had mortars could turn the 39th Brigade in front of him into scum, and his casualties would be minimized.
Even Liu Lang could open the largest trump card of the Independent Regiment now, quietly transporting six twelve-tube Storm Rocket Launches to the Beizhao Pass front line, and launching a complete artillery fire coverage on the Black Hawk Imperial Army's 105 howitzer group. The Storm Rocket Launch, which can shoot 72 rockets in one volley, is fully capable of completely destroying the entire howitzer group within five minutes.
After destroying this terrifying howitzer brigade, the Black Hawk Empire Army of the 39th Brigade lost its most powerful weapon and was the most threatening weapon to the Kingdom army. Gu Yongfeng was not only impoverished, but could even launch a large-scale counterattack. The Kingdom army stationed on the front line of Gu Yongfeng could reach more than 30,000 people, and each person drowned more than 7,000 Black Hawk Empire people who lost their artillery.
But Liu Lang is destined to not do this now. First of all, fighting guerrilla warfare is destined to be his wishful thinking. The theater command has issued a deadly order and must defend it. No matter what the reason, those who retreat will be killed will not be merciless; secondly, Liu Lang, the small regiment commander, may be able to influence the 86th Brigade of Commander Wang and the 17th Division of the Division commander, but he will definitely not influence the Third Army and the 26th Route Army of the Central Army. They do not have the tacit genes of the two.
Liu Lang's mobile combat is likely to be considered to be a escaping, and the distrust between the generals of the Kingdom Army is the most terrifying thing. Liu Lang is afraid that his actions will cause the entire line of defense to fluctuate, and as long as he retreats, it will be a thousand miles of collapse. At that time, it was not a question of beheading, nor was it a question of whether Liu Lang's regiment could stop a group of mobile combat. It was the loss of Gu Yongfeng and the Black Hawk army of two brigades flooded in, approaching Chengguan City's major strategic failure.
If the trump card of the Independent Regiment is used, perhaps the 39th Brigade is not worth worrying about, but the Black Hawk Army still has the 40th Brigade, or the 108th Division that is pursuing south, which is still threatening the east of Lingpizhou. Liu Lang has done so many subordinates, and his target is the entire 20th Division, rather than the 3,800 people in the 77th Regiment in front of him.
The Independent Regiment and the 66th Regiment must hold this enemy tightly, making them still think that the war in front of them is stalemate and they must conquer Jiangrui Mountain and detour to Hexi Town to surround Guyongfeng. In Yinan Village, the main force of the three battalions of the Independent Regiment and the main force of the 71st Regiment of the 86th Brigade have carefully built an ambush circle, waiting for them to take the bait.
Only then would the 3,000 elite troops located in the Beizhaoguan area launch a counterattack and completely eat up this Black Hawk Army.
At this time, the first battalion of the independent regiment, which only exerted 70% of its combat power, could only defend Beizhao Pass to fight for consumption with the Black Hawk Army, and sacrifice was inevitable.
"You haven't eaten much for a day, so eat something first!" Liu Xueyuan, carrying a bowl of noodle soup and a big cake, walked into the command center. He saw Liu Lang sitting there watching the casualties report, his face was also full of miserableness, and he comforted softly. "The heroic deeds of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment will definitely not be buried. Xueyuan will use a pen to let the people of the whole country know their sacrifices, and their names will be remembered by the kingdom for generations."
"No, Xueyuan, this battle is different from the battle of ancient cities. It is a battle of defense, but this battle is a national war. You have experienced the tragic tragedy in the southeast battlefield. It is the most important economic and political center of my kingdom. The kingdom invests hundreds of thousands of troops and cannot be lost, but this is one of the most abundant mineral areas in my kingdom. If there is any loss in Pizhou, the continuous coal and steel will become an accomplice of the Black Hawk Empire Army, and there is no need to be lost. Faced with such a national war, all the troops on the front line should fight bravely and do not hesitate to do so.
Although my Independent Regiment suffered dozens of casualties in this battle, my heart was very sad, but the casualties under the command of the commander of the Guyongfeng main war zone were also severe, and the commander of the 17th Division of the Snowflake Mountain was even more severe. In the afternoon, I had already received his telegram, and the position No. 1 position of the Snowflake Mountain Main Peak, an infantry company guarded the entire army. He had already ordered him to fight to the death and hold his position until tomorrow. The entire company was 160 people! The entire army was all ink. They also needed you to use your pen to tell me the people of the kingdom. The 100,000 troops on the front line of Guyongfeng, whether the Central Army, the 18th Group Army, the Qiu Tong Army, the Northwest Army, and the Kingdom Army, are all heroes." Liu Lang's eyes moved away from the battle report, shook his head, and said slowly.
There was sadness and pride in his eyes.
Liu Lang was sad because the kingdom soldiers suffered heavy casualties during this day. During the whole day, from Xuehua Mountain to Beizhao Pass, tens of thousands of kingdom soldiers suffered more than 3,000 casualties, several times that of the Black Hawk Empire Army.
Liu Lang was also proud. What he was proud of was that he personally participated in the Battle of Gu Yongfeng and proudly saw all the kingdom army, no one retreated and fought in blood.
Even though many of them didn't even see the Black Hawk Imperial Army, they were blown into powder by giant cannons together with the rocks.
