When Jian Liangzhi led the cavalry troops to rush for reinforcements, he looked at the transport troops in a mess and the dead and wounded of both the enemy and the enemy almost everywhere on the ground, without any smile on his face!
As soon as he got the news, he personally led the cavalry reinforcements. In order to speed up, he even ordered the troops to ride directly forward.
This is rare for contemporary cavalry units, because cavalry units need to maintain the physical fitness of their horses at all times. Usually, the cavalry leads the horses forward during marches.
But with this kind of joint, Jian Liangzhi naturally couldn't care about the physical fitness of the war horses. He was worried that if he couldn't arrive in time, the transport team would be beaten to pieces by the Guang'an cavalry.
Once this happens!
He could almost imagine the anger of Feng Haozhongqing, the commander of the Third Division!
As the commander of the third division of the Luo An Army, Zhongqing Feng Haozhong, a close confidant of the county governor Cheng Lingfeng, and the most prestigious real-power general in the contemporary Luo An Army. Not even Jian Liangzhi could bear his anger!
Not to mention Feng Haozhong's anger, in fact, even he himself was full of regrets about his decision!
Just before this morning, he thought that the Guang'an Army's cavalry attack force was more than ten kilometers away in the northeast. For this reason, he sent reconnaissance cavalry many times to search and monitor the traces of the Guang'an Cavalry.
But I never expected that Fang Yuanxin had maneuvered to this area early, and he had maneuvered this area by day and night to set up an ambush in advance.
As soon as the transport team arrived in the hilly area, they directly led the army to launch the attack without any hesitation.
The 3rd Cavalry Regiment from Fang Yuanxin launched a forced march from the ambush position, then launched a surprise attack on the transport troops, and then retreated.
The whole process only takes about half an hour at most.
In the past half hour, even the reconnaissance cavalry immediately discovered Fang Yuanxin's 3rd Cavalry Regiment and sent back the news, and then Jian Liangzhi quickly led the cavalry to march for reinforcements.
But Jian Liangzhi could still only see a messy transport team position!
With a straight face and worry, Jian Liangzhi directly asked Lin Ziran who stepped forward to greet him: "What are the specific losses?"
Lin Ziran also looked unhappy. The reason why the transport team he was escorting was attacked by the Guang'an cavalry this time was that Jian Liangzhi in front of him had an unshirkable responsibility.
If Jian Liangzhi hadn't been derelict in his work, how could more than 800 Guang'an cavalry have penetrated deep into the hilly hinterland and attacked the transport team?
However, Lin Ziran would not say anything. After all, he was not Jian Liangzhi's boss, and the two parties did not even have a reporting relationship. At most, they were just friendly forces.
Lin Ziran said: "Preliminary statistics show that the transport convoy has lost 20% of the total supplies!"
Hearing this number, Jian Liangzhi was slightly relieved.
But what Lin Ziran said next made him unable to calm down: "But the 20% of the supplies lost included 40% of all ammunition and almost all propellants!"
"The enemy used arson, which caused many ammunition vehicles to explode!"
After one battle, the ammunition baggage loss in the transport troops reached 40% of the total.
And more importantly, almost all the propellant was lost!
With only empty shells and no propellant, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment is still useless!
Hearing this, Jian Liangzhi's stern face became even darker.
Lin Ziran continued: "In terms of personnel, our Qingshan Patrol Battalion suffered more than 160 casualties, which is a heavy loss!"
At this time, Cheng Hongbin, the commander of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, also stepped forward. His face became even more ugly. He didn't care about Jian Liangzhi's Shaoqing Junjue at all and shouted directly: "How did your temporary brigade respond? The enemy has eight hundred cavalry.
He just got in under your noses, if Brother Lin and I hadn't fought tooth and nail, everything would have been doomed?"
Cheng Hongbin is a direct descendant of the Cheng family, and Cheng Lingfeng is a nephew. Although he only has the rank of senior doctor, as the commander of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, his status is no less than that of Jian Liangzhi.
"I will definitely report this matter to the top!"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Hongbin still looked sad: "This time it was my grandma's family who suffered a loss. Not to mention the loss of ammunition and materials, the elite gunners of our Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment who had been trained for many years directly lost more than two hundred people. This is a waste of money."
The gunner trained with countless money is not a fucking ordinary soldier!"
Compared with Lin Ziran's dissatisfaction, Cheng Hongbin was about to explode.
His Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment is a heavy artillery unit, the most elite artillery unit in the entire army, and the artillery is the most expensive technical arm in the world. Every elite artillery unit in it was paid for by Luo An's army.
Without a lot of live-fire training, it would be impossible to cultivate such elite gunners!
But so many elite artillerymen were forced to pick up muskets to fight against the enemy's cavalry just now!
What causes this to happen?
No doubt about it!
This is the mistake of the temporary brigade of the Third Division and Jian Liangzhi's dereliction of duty!
Jian Liangzhi said nothing. If an ordinary person spoke to him like this, even if it was his own fault, Jian Liangzhi would not endure it silently.
But the other party is Cheng Lingfeng's nephew, and his influence in Luo'an County is no less than that of his own direct descendant of the Cheng family.
After taking a deep breath, Jian Liangzhi said: "My seventh regiment is on its way and will be able to meet you soon and escort you north!"
Then he turned to the dock and was about to leave. Seeing this, Cheng Hongbin said, "Jian Shaoqing, what are you doing?"
Jian Liangzhi showed determination: "I, Jian Liangzhi, will give you an explanation to the superiors!"
Afterwards, Jian Liangzhi galloped on his horse and directly led his main force of more than a thousand cavalry towards the east, which was the direction in which the remnants of Fang Yuanxin's cavalry were escaping.
However, Jian Liangzhi was not confused. At least he knew that a cavalry company and about two hundred cavalry were left behind to assist Lin Ziran and others in their garrison.
At this time, the transportation troops will naturally not leave in a hurry, but will continue to be stationed on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the 7th Infantry Regiment under the temporary brigade.
Watching Jian Liangzhi leave, Cheng Hongbin spat in the direction: "What's the use of a horse's butt? Damn it, if I meet him, I will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
After saying that, Cheng Hongbin turned to Lin Ziran and said, "Fortunately, there is Brother Lin's patrol camp heading north this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
In the battle against the Guang'an cavalry just now, although many soldiers of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion performed somewhat poorly and suffered heavy casualties, they managed to hold on in the end.
Without the strong defense of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, his heavy artillery regiment would have been finished long ago, and not just the loss of ammunition.
However, he also knew that verbal thanks were useless, so he immediately said: "When we get to Chongguang City, I will write a letter immediately, and I guarantee that Brother Lin's Qingshan Patrol Camp will be restored to its original state in no time, or even improved to a higher level!
"
He is Cheng Lingfeng's nephew, so he has the confidence to say this!
