When the battle was over, the brigade commander immediately asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
After an inventory, the brigade commander sent all the wounded under his command for treatment, and then asked the soldiers to deal with the soldiers from various countries on the battlefield. Although the battle was over, there were still many soldiers from various countries who fell on the ground who were injured but not dead. The brigade commander caught Some of the soldiers who were still alive came out and asked their English-speaking generals to ask about the situation of the coalition forces.
After several confirmations, the brigade commander found out that the leader was Lieutenant General James. There was no coalition commander from each country. Moreover, the surviving soldiers from various countries had low positions and did not know the strategy of attacking in the east and in the west.
After the brigade commander found out the general information, he asked the soldiers to deal with all the coalition soldiers, shot them one by one, piled up all the corpses, poured kerosene and spirits on them, lit a fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. Commander, all the coalition soldiers burned into a sea of fire. The brigade commander withdrew his troops and continued to stay in place to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
…
At night, the moonlight is soft and the stars are dazzling.
In Minle Town, Yang Banhou's command post was brightly lit. A soldier stood in front of Yang Banhou and told Yang Banhou all the news about the battlefield in the east. Yang Banhou had won the first battle. Yang Banhou was happy, but his expression was solemn.
A brigade commander killed thousands of people, which is not a small number.
However, Yang Banhou thought for a while, and he might have adopted the same method when he was young. Yang Banhou looked at the private soldier who sent the message and ordered: "Tell this to the first brigade commander, as long as the main force of the coalition forces has not been determined, Because of his position, he cannot evacuate for the time being and is still stationed to the east of Minle Town to prevent any fish from slipping through the trap and breaking through from the east."
"yes."
"I also want to tell the first brigade commander that in this battle, we completely wiped out the soldiers from various countries who broke out from the east. We did a great job, but we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. We must not be impetuous, and we must not..."
"Report."
Just as Yang Banhou was speaking, another commander of the reconnaissance company hurried in.
Yang Banhou asked: "What's the matter?"
The company commander raised his hand in salute and immediately replied: "Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance battalion has detected the movements of the main force of the foreigners. Currently, the foreign commanders are leading the main force to the west and are already fighting with the Second Brigade stationed in the west of Minle Town. "
"Hahaha……"
Yang Banhou laughed loudly, and combined with the situation in the east, he understood the strategies of the armies of various countries.
Make noise in the east and attack in the west.
Obviously, this is a strategy to attack the east and attack the west.
The fuse of this strategy is the east. Once the war starts in the east, especially if the first brigade in the east cannot hold the east front, the soldiers under Yang Banhou may gather to the east to support. At that time, with The coalition forces from various countries led by Adams suddenly launched an attack in the west. They broke through from the west and faced very little resistance.
It is a pity that Adams did not expect that the army led by James would be completely destroyed. This was Adams' biggest failure. He did not expect that the army had been completely wiped out before the plan was implemented.
In fact, it was Adams who saw the failure on the eastern battlefield and knew that the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west was ineffective, so he decided to launch an attack overnight in order to break through as soon as possible.
Yang Banhou became excited, because the moment of decisive battle had arrived, and he loudly ordered: "Send the order to the first brigade commander and order him to lead the troops to the west of Minle Town, narrow the encirclement, and capture the coalition forces of various countries."
Now, it's time to close the net.
"yes."
The company commander bowed, turned around and ran away.
Yang Banhou immediately took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the situation of the battle. He also wrote down the news that the commanders from various countries appeared in the west of Minle Town, and prepared to send it to Li Zhen.
"Guard."
"arrive."
Yang Banhou picked up the letter, handed it to the guard, and ordered: "Send it to Jardine's Hill and give it to the President."
"yes."
After the guard put the letter away, he turned and left.
…
To the west of Minle Town.
Under the night, there were countless soldiers charging back and forth on the road. The sound of gunfire, cannon fire, and shouts of killing continued one after another.
The silence under the night has long ceased to exist.
Adams, Russell and others led the main force and were storming the defense line formed by the Second Brigade. The Second Brigade was also very particular about the place where it was stationed. They chose a place with sparse woods on both sides of the road. In the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, As well as in front of the road, there were soldiers from the Second Brigade ambushing them. Moreover, the fortifications on both sides of the road were not facing each other, but were staggered by a certain distance.
On the position built in front of the road, machine guns were erected, spraying out dazzling fire snakes, and dense bullets were fired, giving the most violent blow to the attacking soldiers from various countries.
Adams ordered his soldiers to attack. A steady stream of troops rushed forward, but no breakthrough was achieved, especially since the tanks of various countries had been destroyed, and the best weapons for breaking out were missing.
The second brigade commander stood in the command post, observing the situation on the battlefield by the light of the fire.
He stared at the attacking coalition forces from various countries, and also at the defenses he had laid out. The one in the woods on the left at the front was the first group, the second group in the woods on the right thirty meters behind, and the front of the road at the back was the second group. It's three groups.
The second brigade commander grinned and ordered: "Send an order to the commander of the second regiment, Ma Chengfeng, to launch an attack and isolate the foreign soldiers from the second to the third regiment commander. Then send an order to the commander of the first regiment, Zhao Yunlong, to let him attack." He also led his soldiers to attack, isolating the foreign troops between the second and third regiments, and defeated the allied forces of various countries one by one."
"yes."
The guard immediately went to deliver the order, and soon the news was passed on.
“Du, du, du,,.”
Loud horns sounded under the night sky. The two regiments on both sides of the road rushed out one by one. Two fresh armies rushed out and quickly divided the coalition armies from various countries into several sections. Previously, the coalition forces were like a long dragon on the road. It meandered, but the Second Regiment and the First Regiment fought out, immediately cut off the coalition forces, and began to vigorously wipe out the British troops rushing at the front.
The killings at night became more brutal.
Countless soldiers fell to the ground.
The divided coalition soldiers lost their support and were quickly eliminated. The commander of the second regiment and the commander of the first regiment continued to advance, threatening Adams, Russell and others in the rear of the army.
…
Jardine's Hill, Qi Town Naval Force Station, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng's injuries have been treated and are no longer serious, and all three of them have sunk back. The three of them are stationed at Jardine's Hill and are exhausted. After lying down, I could no longer hold myself up.
In the command post, a soldier stood in front of Li Zhen.
This soldier was the soldier sent by Yang Banhou to report the news. After listening to it, Li Zhen ordered: "Now that the positions of Adams, Russell and others have been determined, let Yang Banhou launch a general attack, narrow the circle, and close the net. Take down the foreigners."
The soldier turned and left, and Li Zhen called Huang Qiang and the accompanying regiment leader.
Li Zhen ordered: "The armies of various countries have formulated strategies to invade the east and attack the west, but the armies heading to the east have been wiped out. At present, the main force appears in the west. The troops of the Jiandao Battalion and a regiment set off to the west of Minle Town to surround the armies of various countries. "
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
Huang Qiang and the regiment leader agreed at the same time, and they turned around to carry out the order.
