Hauge's actions on the Eastern Front quickly spread to the East Point, causing great turmoil.
"I really didn't expect that Hauge, a reckless man, actually knows how to attack the enemy and save it."
Bai Xiaoqi rubbed his brows, thinking about how to solve it.
Jingshan must not be lost. The food and supplies there are a guarantee for the entire army. If there is a problem, there is no need to fight this battle.
However, there are only so many troops on hand. If the troops are divided to support, the breakthrough that was finally opened on the front will be ineffective.
At the critical moment, Liu Yiyuan, as the commander-in-chief, made a decision.
"Let the chief of the militia come to see me."
There are two main militia regiments active on the Korean battlefield, namely the Second Yizhou Militia Regiment and the Second Liangshan Militia Regiment.
The two regiment leaders received the order and rushed over immediately.
"You already know the situation on the eastern front, right? The little battalion commander handled it well, but he definitely can't hold on for long. But there is really no room for support on the front side. I plan to give the task of defending Haug to
Do you have any confidence?"
The regulations of the Xia Kingdom's militia troops are the same as those of the regular troops, mainly to facilitate smooth integration when converting the militia troops into regular troops.
Therefore, the combined strength of the two militia regiments is more than 10,000.
It's just that there is a huge gap between the weapons and equipment, training level, and combat capabilities and those of regular troops.
Under normal circumstances, militia groups serve as regular troops. After slowly tempering and reaching a certain level, they will be transformed into regular troops.
But now that the situation is urgent, Liu Yiyuan can't go step by step.
He decided to let two militia regiments fight against Haug's tens of thousands of troops.
Suddenly given the task of standing alone, Yao Principle, the leader of the Yizhou Militia Regiment, and Wu Chonghua, the leader of the Liangshan Militia Regiment, were both very nervous.
"Commander-in-Chief, how long do we need to hold on?"
Liu Yiyuan looked fierce.
"Do you have the confidence to persist until the last person?"
Mountains of pressure hit their faces, and Yao Yuanli and Wu Chonghua straightened their backs immediately.
"We promise to complete the mission and we will fight to the death and never retreat."
Although they are not the main force, they are also Xia soldiers and have the same sense of honor.
With a heavy burden on our shoulders and a heavy responsibility ahead of us, we can only give up everything and regard completing the task as our highest mission.
Liu Yiyuan had already imagined what kind of brutal test of blood and fire these two militia groups would undergo. But there was no way, it was like this on the battlefield, and there was no room for mercy.
"You don't need to take the initiative, you just need to set up a defense line outside Jingshan. Yao Yuanli is the leader, and Wu Chonghua is the deputy. Do you understand?"
The leaders of the two militia regiments firmly accepted the mission and rushed to the precarious Eastern Front.
"Order the entire army to speed up the attack. Tell all the troops that I only want Hongchuan."
Liu Yiyuan knew that now was the time to fight for his will.
It depends on whether the Qing army breaks through Jingshan first or the Xia army reaches Hongchuan first.
Whoever does it first will win the entire battle.
Although death orders were issued to the two militia groups, he did not have much confidence in whether they could hold on.
The only hope is to attack Hongchuan as quickly as possible, break the Qing coalition's southern line, and threaten Chunchuan's flanks.
The situation was quickly communicated to all ministries, and all generals knew the seriousness of the problem.
The Fourth Division's attack was already very fierce, and now it was trying its best.
Even the 16th regiment, which was originally cleaning up the mess, quickly joined the attack sequence.
As expected, the two sides collided in Yu Yanli.
Turai and Nikan, who had retreated from Hengcheng, helped Ashdar Khan build layers of defensive fronts in Yuyanli.
Dorgon has given them strict orders, they must guard this place and not retreat even a step.
Liu Yiyuan's order is also beyond doubt.
We must break through Yu Yanli and fight to Hongchuan.
Since both sides have no way out, only one side can survive.
A fierce battle began.
Surrounding the small village of Yu Yanli, bloody battles began for almost every inch of land in the mountains and hills within a radius of dozens of miles.
"I don't want the number of casualties, I just want Highland 203. I want rocket launchers to support you. You must take it down for me."
At the frontline headquarters, Bai Xiaoqi was like a hungry wolf.
He scolded the generals at the front for their complaints, and at the same time sent additional reinforcements.
The rocket artillery unit of the 4th Division began to show off its power.
Hundreds of rockets were like the roar of death, filling the sky with dazzling colorful flames.
But this kind of thing is absolutely hated by the defenders.
They had no other choice but to jump into the trenches one after another and leave their hope of survival to luck.
The rockets completely enveloped the entire high ground, and the air waves of the explosion swept across. The sharp sound explosion, the diffuse smoke, and the raging fire destroyed the entire position until it disappeared.
All the Qing coalition soldiers lay down in the trench, covering their ears and howling at the top of their lungs with their mouths wide open.
This is the only way to slightly mitigate the sonic attack of the explosion.
There was not much time left for them to relax. Everyone knew that after the bombardment, the Xia army would begin to attack.
The generals did not wait for the aftermath of the explosion to dissipate before they started running back and forth in the trench, kicking and scolding them.
"Get up! Get up quickly! Go back to your place!"
The soldiers of the Qing coalition stood up with a groan, still shaking on their feet, while looking for their weapons.
But before they could return to normal, a figure as fast as a leopard suddenly flashed out of the thick smoke, and a bayonet bursting with cold light quickly came to their eyes.
Screams immediately sounded on the battlefield, which really frightened the Qing army.
No one expected that the Xia army's attack would be so desperate this time, closely followed by the artillery bombardment.
Aren't they afraid of being bombed?
The Qing army had no time to think about this problem. In panic, they could only resist randomly.
Brutal hand-to-hand combat took place throughout the highlands, but blood gathered into a river and flowed down the mountain.
The soldiers of the Xia army rushed up to the high ground one after another, one after another.
They lined up in rows and rows, their bayonets rolling forward like rolling waves.
Although the soldiers of the Eight Banners are very brave, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, how many times can they still struggle under the thrust of countless bayonets?
There are fewer and fewer people fighting, and the resistance is getting weaker and weaker. It seems that the loss of the high ground is not far away.
Reinforcements from the Qing army arrived and climbed up from the other side of the high ground.
Once they get to the high ground, the battle will return to an evenly matched situation.
Of course this is what Xia Jun doesn't want to see.
"Grenade! The 26th Battalion charge with me and knock them down."
Sui Zhizhong, who personally led the team to attack the high ground, quickly took countermeasures.
At the same time, he drew his sword and led a battalion of soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Qing reinforcements.
Hundreds of grenades caused gaps in the Qing army's formation. The Xia army soldiers climbed up the mountain like tigers and began to besiege the isolated enemy at the front.
Behind both of them, there are still countless armies that are desperately climbing up like ants.
