?Although the attack on the first day was frustrated, after the Fifth Army returned to the barracks, they checked the losses of men and horses and found that the result was not as bad as it appeared on the battlefield. ""
In the past, in such a fierce offensive battle, the number of soldiers killed would have been at least a thousand. However, the actual losses of the Chinese army were 528 killed and 2,192 wounded. And
More than 80% of the injured soldiers suffered from arrow wounds, and the injured parts were non-fatal parts such as arms and legs. Many of them were just skin wounds, with no injuries to muscles or bones.
In ancient China, the medical conditions of the army were very backward and not taken seriously. There were almost no professional military doctors. The army could usually bring a few Mongolian doctors with them, which was considered very good. Except for a few generals, ordinary soldiers were injured.
None of them received good medical treatment. At most, they could simply bandage it. There was no such thing as cleaning wounds, disinfecting, cutting out rotten parts, etc. Therefore, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was extremely high, almost more than half.
Even if it reaches 60 to 70%, it is not impossible.
But Shang Yi is a modern military thinker, which very much reproduces the military's medical support, because most of the injured soldiers are experienced veterans. The value of being able to save one more cannot be underestimated. In the past few years, it has also
A large number of military doctors have been trained for the army and a large number of military medicinal materials have been prepared. Therefore, the Chinese army's battlefield medical treatment and post-war medical conditions are different from those of the past army. The cure rate of soldiers is also as high as over 80%.
The injured soldiers in this battle were not seriously injured. As long as they can receive timely medical treatment, most of the soldiers are expected to be able to recover from their injuries and return to the army in about half a month. And there are about 500 wounded soldiers.
, after bandaging and treatment, you can go to war immediately.
Therefore, Qiao Keyu immediately summoned officers at the brigade level of each division to discuss tomorrow's attack plan. All the generals believed that although the Qing army's firepower was very intensive, it mainly used bows and arrows. The number of muskets and artillery was not large, and the actual damage was
The force is not strong. It’s just that the Qing army also learned from the Chinese army to use trench defense, and it was very authentic. It was not just a superficial appearance. This really gave all the officers a headache. After all, the defensive capabilities of the trenches were not as good as those sitting here.
Everyone knows this very well.
But in the end, all the generals agreed that in tomorrow's attack, the artillery firepower should be strengthened, and instead of attacking across the entire line, the attack would be concentrated on a few points, trying to open a few gaps in the Qing army's defense line.
Break through one point to drive the overall situation and tear apart the outer defense line of Sishui County. When launching a ground attack, we must be resolute.
Decisive. When it is time to invest troops, you must do so resolutely and do not be afraid of the casualties of the troops. At the same time, aiming at the weakness of the Qing army's shooting range being closer than your own, you can send out a small mortar within a distance of 80 to 100 steps from the forward position.
The artillery team struck the Qing army's defense line with direct fire at close range, creating opportunities for the ground troops to attack.
On the next day, the Fifth Army once again launched an attack on the defense line outside Sishui County.
Sure enough, this time the Chinese army changed its attack method. It first focused on heavy and medium-sized artillery and launched a violent bombardment at three or four points on the Qing army's defense line. Although this approach still did little damage to the Qing army, it did not cause much damage to the Qing army.
The damage to the defense line was not small. It was enough to blow apart all the three layers of mud and sand bag protective walls deployed by the Qing army. There were also three or four large gaps in the entire defense line.
Subsequently, the 20th Regiment of the Eighth Division launched a ground attack against the Qing army's defense line, and the artillery battalion of the 20th Regiment set up more than 60 mortars less than a hundred steps away from the Qing army's defense line, attacking the Qing army's defense line. The Qing army's defense line was bombarded with artillery. Because the mortars were fired at a high angle of elevation, countless artillery shells fell directly from the air into the Qing army's defense line, and many even fell directly into the trenches. Therefore, the blow to the Qing army was also limited. Far more than direct-fire artillery.
A series of explosions and screams immediately rang out from the Qing army's defense line, and the number of soldiers' casualties also increased linearly.
At this moment, the other three battalions of the 20th Regiment also approached the Qing Army's defense line, and focused their attacks on several gaps opened by artillery. Although the Qing Army also organized a dense attack The Qing army used firepower to stop the Chinese army, but after being violently hit by the Chinese army's artillery at the beginning, the Qing army's firepower was also obviously compromised. Except that the Chinese army's attack was also smart this time, and it entered the range of the Qing army. After reaching the range, the soldiers immediately lay down on the ground and crawled forward in a crawling posture.
Although this makes the advancement slower, it can also reduce one's striking surface. The archers of the Qing army did not have a good grasp of the accuracy of bows and arrows, and when they encountered such a crawling enemy, they fired indiscriminately. When he got up, 10% of the arrows he fired missed. Although they were able to hit some targets, compared to yesterday, the lethality was obviously significantly reduced.
The actual effective killing distance of the Qing army is not far, and the soldiers of the Chinese army have also undergone strict training. Although they are crawling, the soldiers in the front row have crawled to the distance in just a few breaths. The Qing army's defense line was less than thirty meters away. At this time, the soldiers threw rows of grenades at the Qing army's defense line in a prone position.
Because the distance was too close at this time, most of the grenades thrown were accurately thrown into the Qing army's defense line, and at least half of them were thrown into the Qing army's trenches. There was another series of explosions, and a large number of Qing soldiers in the trenches were killed and injured. Taking advantage of this gap, the soldiers of the Chinese army got up from the ground one after another and rushed into the Qing army's defense line.
Commander Qiao Keyu, who was directing the battle in the rear formation, and members of the military headquarters also high-fived each other, congratulating the 20th Regiment for breaking through the Qing army's defense line. The commander of the 8th Division immediately sent the 24th Regiment up. , in order to strengthen the attack and expand the results.
In the past, once a gap was opened by the Chinese army, the Qing army's defense line would immediately collapse. But this time, the development of the battle was not as expected by the Fifth Army Headquarters, because the Qing army's defense line was not set up. It is not a straight line like before, but completely learned from the Chinese Army, forming a wave-shaped multiple arcs. Each arc can be used as an independent defensive position, even if the adjacent arc position is blocked. If you break through, it will not affect the defensive blocking of other arc-shaped defense line positions. There will no longer be the situation where the whole situation collapsed after a little breakthrough. On the contrary, the arc-shaped defense line positions adjacent to the left and right can also deal blows to the enemies who have broken through. .
Moreover, the Qing army's defense line was not one, but the first row of trenches was the main defense line. Behind the trenches, mud and sand bags were used to form two auxiliary defense lines. In the auxiliary defense line, a reserve army was also left. .Although these two auxiliary defense lines are arranged intermittently and are not as connected as the main defense line, after the main defense line is breached, the Qing Army's reserve army can still rely on the auxiliary defense lines to resist the enemy's attack.
Therefore, although the soldiers of the 20th regiment broke through the main defense line of the army, the remaining Qing soldiers in the main defense line threw away the bow and arrow, raised the knife and gun, and fought white -edged operations with the Chinese army.
The main defense line, fighting with the Chinese army. Some directly held weapons and rushed to the Chinese army soldiers to help the Qing army in the main defense line resist the Chinese army's offense. There are also a few professional archers who are still hiding behind the defense line.
, Put the arrow, block the Chinese army soldiers.
At this time, the entire line of defense of the Qing army was broken by two gaps by the Chinese Army, but the entire line of defense did not stop collapsed. Although the twenty -four regiments from the aid also joined the battle, the other curved defense line defense line
The Qing army is still stubbornly blocking the Chinese army's offense.
As a result, in an hour after the defense line of the army was broken, the soldiers of the Chinese army still did not run through the line of defense of the Qing army. Therefore, the hearts of Qiao Keyu and others who watched the war in the headquarters gradually became nervous.
Joker Yu also ordered, and then transferred to a group and joined the offense.
At this time, in the two breakthrough gaps, the soldiers of the two sides were also mixed together, and there was a fierce white -edged battle.
The bayonet, killing a ball.
However, after all, the Chinese Army broke through the Qing army's defense, and the morale was high, and the white -edged battle in such a terrain was also beneficial to the use of musket shooting in local areas, because each camp will be equipped with one or two rows and backfilling.
The rifle, the fired speed is extremely fast, it can be used in this occasion. At the same time, the Chinese army soldiers can also use grenades to attack, so they can take advantage of many advantages in melee.
At the same time, after joining the battle, it can not only restrain other troops on the line of defense, but also add troops to the troops that break through the gap.
It blocked the Chinese army's offense. Fortunately, at this time, Chen Jin, the defender of Surabaya County, also transferred the preparatory force of other auxiliary defense lines to help, so as to avoid being able to keep these two gaps.
However, the Chinese Army's headquarters saw that these two gaps were difficult to get off for a while, and also turned their attention to other parts of the Qing army's defense line. On the one hand, I hope to open the gap from other places, and on the other hand
Then, then
With the previous experience, these few attacks have also played very well. They still use concentrated firepower, attack a little, first open the road with artillery, then supplemented with mortar guns, and then impacted with ground forces.
During the hour, three gaps broke through the Qing army's defense line continuously. And the Junjun was also trying his best to defend. Chen Jin also sent all the soldiers in Surabaya County to send all the strengths.
As a result, the battle continued to be dark, and the Qing Army always kept the position from being strong. The positions were not broken. The two sides also stopped fighting, and the battle the next day was over.
