Chapter 1197 Change of Offensive and Defensive Potential
The few soldiers left on the battlefield were howling and beating their chests, venting their excitement.
At this moment, they are no longer alone.
At this moment, they regained their fighting spirit.
At this moment, they felt like they were worlds apart.
Liu Jintang glanced at the soldiers around him, with a smile on his lips. Hearing the approaching gunfire, he felt high in fighting spirit, pointed at the troops from various countries down the mountain, and said loudly: "The president is here, let's kill him."
The charge sounded again, and the remaining soldiers charged again.
Only by being fearless can one be invincible.
The situation on the battlefield quietly began to change.
Under the hillside, the coalition command post.
The commanders of various countries were horrified after seeing what happened on the hillside. All their troops had been dispatched, and there were no soldiers in the rest of the area. The sudden gunfire around Jardine's Hill was undoubtedly the gunfire of the Chinese army, indicating the arrival of reinforcements. , the Russian commander smacked his lips, and said: "Sir Adams, reinforcements from the Chinese army have arrived. Please withdraw. You cannot confront them head-on."
The US federal commander couldn't wait to say: "As far as the current situation is concerned, we are competing with a division under Qi Zhenhai's command. Qi Zhenhai's soldiers have run out of ammunition and food. Although they are close to their final death, our soldiers are also tired. , also lacked ammunition and fighting spirit. On the contrary, the troops who came to support Qi Zhenhai were energetic and well-armed. Once the two armies fought, our soldiers would definitely suffer in the end. We should retreat to Minle Town first and wait for the soldiers to recover. Keep your spirits up and fight Li Zhen again."
Russell nodded and said: "I agree with the suggestion of retreating first, taking a breath first, and then fighting the decisive battle."
"I also agree that retreat is the best option at the moment."
"I agree with the retreat."
"First avoid the opponent's sharp edges and ensure our safety."
The commanders of various countries kept talking, feeling a little panicked.
In particular, the gunshots around Jardine's Lookout kept approaching, which made them even more nervous.
British Commander Adams looked at the position again, sighed, and said: "There is an old saying in China, it is easy to shake the Yue family's army, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army. Now here we are, it is no longer the Yue family's army, but the Chinese army is easy to shake. If Give me another half hour, no, just give me twenty minutes, and I can completely eliminate one of Qi Zhenhai's divisions, and even capture Qi Zhenhai and other major generals alive. Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and God does not bless the coalition forces. What can I do? ,What can I do?"
There was deep helplessness in his tone.
He straightened his expression and ordered: "Withdraw, first avoid Li Zhen's sharp attack." He turned and walked out of the command post, his straight back suddenly stooped, giving people a feeling of twilight, as if he was much older.
The commanders of various countries were overjoyed because Adams agreed to retreat.
The order was issued and the troops began to retreat.
Soldiers from various countries also knew the situation around Jardine's Hill and were very scared. After receiving the order, they turned around and retreated like a tide. Liu Jintang yelled. He wanted to chase, but he was really exhausted, especially After the armies from various countries retreated, the tight string in their hearts completely relaxed and they could no longer lift their spirits.
Liu Jintang sat down on the ground, gasping for air. After the battle until now, he was covered in scars and had become a bloody man. Qi Zhenhai and Chen Yucheng were also covered in scars. The three of them were leaning together, back to back. , relying on each other to keep from falling to the ground, all three of them were close to losing strength.
The soldiers around him relaxed, and their faces looked happy to have survived.
At the end of this battle, not many people survived, only a few hundred people were left. A large number of these soldiers were seriously injured. Even after being cured, they would no longer be able to go to the battlefield and had to retire.
Fifteen minutes later, an army appeared on the battlefield at Jardine's Hill.
This army was surprisingly soldiers led by Li Zhen.
In addition to the soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion led by Li Zhen, there is also a regiment of troops following. The troops of this regiment are soldiers under Yang Banhou. Originally, Li Zhen led the Jiandao Battalion in front, but Yang Banhou wanted to do it in the shortest time. To support Qi Zhenhai, a special regiment was sent as a vanguard, and they traveled day and night so that they could catch up with Li Zhen in the shortest time and come to the rescue together.
The regiment leader ordered the soldiers to garrison and take precautions.
Li Zhen came to the battlefield and looked at the corpses on the battlefield with tears in his eyes. Although Li Zhen did not experience the hardship of this battle personally, Li Zhen could feel it through the situation on the battlefield and feel the tragedy of the battlefield. He stood On the battlefield, my feet seemed to be filled with lead, every step I took was extremely heavy, and my mood was extremely solemn.
When they came to Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, the three of them wanted to stand up and salute, but after sitting down, their bodies were out of control. They wanted to stand up, but their whole bodies ached like cramps and they couldn't muster the strength.
Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Don't move, don't move."
Immediately, Li Zhen looked at the soldiers around him and said loudly: "Soldiers, you are great and a role model for Chinese soldiers. I am proud of you and I am proud of you."
With a word of affirmation, the soldiers choked up their voices.
All the efforts are reflected in this sentence.
Qi Zhenhai calmed down, looked at a regiment on the battlefield, frowned and asked: "President, where are Commander Yang's troops? Could it be that the soldiers who were firing in all directions just now are not Commander Yang's troops."
Li Zhen shook his head and replied: "Yang Banhou is behind with a divisional army, but he has already entered Hong Kong. Now, Yang Banhou is setting up an encirclement and expanding the circle to block the retreat of the coalition forces from various countries."
The regimental leader patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qi, the foreigners will not be able to escape."
With a move of his hand, countless military doctors came and took Qi Zhenhai, Chen Yucheng and Liu Jintang for treatment. Many soldiers took away the injured and began to clean up the battlefield. Li Zhen watched the scenes on the battlefield. , his eyes turned to the direction in which the coalition forces of various countries were withdrawing, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. This time the war has just begun.
The coalition forces retreated and quickly moved south.
Soldiers from all over the world were exhausted after experiencing great wars. The continuous rush made the soldiers very uncomfortable. After an hour, the soldiers in the army could not run anymore. Adams had no choice but to order a temporary stop and rest for ten minutes before continuing. Rushing towards Minle Town, Adams, Russell and others were sitting around, looking depressed.
Seeing that he is about to win, he is still on the verge of failure.
No matter who it is, they will feel very uncomfortable when encountering such a result.
Russell said: "Mr. Adams, when we were at Jardine's Hill earlier, gunshots were heard from all directions. Although it felt like reinforcements from China were coming, on the way back, I thought about it and found that we had not received any reports from the soldiers. Li Zhen's large troops arrived, and I think we retreated too early, maybe it was a trick."
Adams said: "In one hour, they had already run away, and there was no point in going back. Besides, if Li Zhen's large army really came, returning to Jardine's Hill would mean death."
"Report,."
A soldier ran over, looking panicked, and said loudly: "Commander Adams, a large number of Chinese troops have appeared in Minle Town. Now, the Chinese troops are coming towards us quickly."
brush.
Adams' face changed drastically, and his eyes were extremely solemn.
The situation suddenly changed, the offensive and defensive momentum changed, and the Chinese army surrounded us.
