Zhang Huahan slowly opened his eyes and saw Ding Rou, who was sitting next to the bed holding his hand and crying secretly, a group of officers standing around with anxious faces, and Zhang Huahan, who was standing nearest and expressionless.
Chao and Zhang Gao stared at him with a sad face.
Everyone became happy when they saw Zhang Huahan woke up. Zhang Gao and Ding Rou helped Zhang Huahan up. In fact, Zhang Huahan was suffering from a lack of blood supply. Zhang Chao gave him some salt water and he got better. The wound was cleaned and sutured by Zhang Chao.
.
Zhang Chao said: "Master, you should know that pulling out the arrow at that time would aggravate the injury, why did you do that?" Zhang Huahan shook his head and said: "I was dizzy at the time. I should have retreated and defended, which resulted in heavy losses. Battle.
What happened next? Did the army retreat?" He saw Wang Hong, who was full of guilt, standing behind him as if nothing happened. He hurriedly asked: "I saw you blocked an arrow for me, are you okay?" Wang Hong
He knelt down and said, "It's okay. I failed to protect the Chairman well. I beg the Chairman to convict me." Wang Hao and a dozen guards later knelt down and said, "We failed to protect the Chairman well. Please condem me to the Chairman."
Zhang Huahan said hurriedly: "Get up quickly, didn't I say it before? There is no etiquette for kneeling and worshiping in our Chinese army. At this point, I also remembered that we don't have military salutes yet. Zhang Chao, you can make military salutes when you are done.
The military salute next to your hand is enough. You are not guilty. It is unjust to still be guilty after saving me. I am the guilty one because I did not retreat in time. By the way, how is the battle going?"
He was eager to know how the battle was going. Zhang Gao said: "Master, I watched carefully from the city tower. At that time, about 1,500 Manchu cavalry rushed into the large army and killed them everywhere. The three regiment commanders organized
Unable to mount an effective attack, Battalion Commander Zhang Chao later brought out three wheeled iron-shelled vehicles, filled with members of the special battalion armed with muskets, and asked the soldiers to hide behind the iron-shelled vehicles. Later, the three regiment commanders also
Organize your own sharpshooting companies to shoot. They rode up and cut down the armored vehicle, but they couldn't cut it. However, we killed and injured more than 700 of them. Later, after Battalion Commander Zhang Chao shot and killed the Manchu cavalry general who shot you,
More than 700 Manchu cavalrymen snatched the body of the Manchu cavalry general and fled, and we shot and killed more than 100 people."
Zhang Huahan said: "Iron-shelled vehicle? Chao, is it a tank? When did you make it?" Zhang Chao said: "It is a thin-skinned armored vehicle without any internal devices and relies on human power inside. They are all experimental products. I didn't expect to be on top this time."
Used it.”
Zhang Huahan immediately asked: "How many people have we lost?" Zhang Chao said: "1,754 people died, 73 were disabled, and 2,413 were lightly and seriously injured. We have treated minor and serious injuries.
There are 2,321 people who can still fight after recovery. The compensation money was distributed after Zhang Gao and I discussed it. We captured fifty-three surrendered Han Eighth Banners. The prisoners
Ninety-eight injured Manchu prisoners were taken. What do you think of dealing with those prisoners?"
Zhang Huahan thought for a while and said with a heart: "We captured ninety-eight Manchus and killed them all. The fifty-three surrendered Han Eighth Banners went to the coal mines first to serve in the coal mines. Let them do the most dangerous and painful work. In the future, we will build
China as a whole needs people like this even more." At this time, he first thought of the population of Japan, which he hated most in his blood.
Zhang Huahan stopped talking and said: "Zhang Chao, I can't command the army. I'm too emotional. This time, the soldiers are fighting with all their strength. Why? There are 2,321 people who can still fight after being treated for minor and serious injuries. The wounds
The infection cannot be cured? Are you so sure? Have you developed penicillin?"
Zhang Chao nodded and said: "Yes, I have also developed some new drugs. We don't have to worry about getting injured. Even if we are seriously injured but not dead, we can still be saved."
Zhang Huahan said: "Look who can command the army, I will hand over the military power." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone knelt down and asked Zhang Huahan to take back his order, saying that they would not listen to anyone's orders except Zhang Huahan's command.
Even Zhang Chao said: "You can't be wrong about your command this time. This battle has tested the strength of our army and improved their combat effectiveness. You can't expect the Chinese army to fight defensive battles in the future. In fact, they have gone through
After modern training, the combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of the Qing army. The main reason for the heavy casualties this time is that we do not have a strong force to restrain the opponent's arms, and the muskets we are accustomed to use are not in place, and we
They have not practiced shooting at moving targets, so they suffered heavy casualties. But don't worry, those 2,321 people, within a month I will make them into healthy soldiers who can go to the battlefield. You should continue to do your military work.
Commander, just pay attention to your own safety in the future. I made a light body armor weighing eight kilograms and used a stamping machine to press the military helmet. Our future casualty rate will be much reduced." Zhang Huahan could only do this.
He nodded.
In a heavily guarded tent in Lingbao area, not far from Tongguan, surrounded by densely packed Manchu military tents, the British King Azig threw the battle report in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "This Chinese army bandit is very disrespectful."
It's simple. The people led by Shan Qi are all elites. It's a pity. You guys
Have you passed the battle report to the regent?" A person below said: "It has been passed. The regent is summoning the troops from central and southern Shanxi to wait for the troops from southern, eastern and northern Henan to eliminate the rebels.
We are ready to destroy the Chinese army, but the regent still wants us to concentrate on dealing with Li Chuang's people."
Azige said: "There are few troops in central and southern Shanxi, and there are too many troops led by Liu Hongqi, Su Zixing and others in southern, eastern and northern Henan to resist the Qing Dynasty. We really can't spare any troops for a while.
! I sent spies several times, but either they couldn't get in, or there was no news after I got in. It's really strange. I'm really interested in this Chinese army. They didn't have a good reputation when I got there. Otherwise, I would have lost it at that time.
It will level them up."
In the dark night, a grain transport army consisting of two thousand braided troops and an equal number of braided men pushing carts full of grain and pulling carts full of grain was advancing. They were responsible for attacking
The 200,000 Qing army transporting grain troops from Tongguan rushed on the road all night due to time constraints. Just as they were rushing to
On the way, there was a sudden huge rumbling sound after the earthquake, and countless gunshots rang out all around. Zhang Zhicheng, who was in charge of the more than a thousand Han Eight Banners guarding the food team, said: "Hearing the gunshots, there were 50,000 musketeers to ambush us. We did not
The chance of victory, retreat quickly." The Manchu leader Ge Qilang, who was in charge of a thousand Manchu cavalry, said: "You are useless, the enemy can only have one
Qian, they are using firecrackers to scare you, you are a coward, I have said before, the Han people are all useless weaklings." Zhang Zhicheng scolded: "You bastard, is the sound of firecrackers like this? Do you hear such dense gunfire?
Sound, how long does it take for a soldier to load gunpowder and projectiles? Are you a fool?" Ge Qilang scolded: "You Chinese dog, you are nothing but a fool.
If our Manchu dogs dare to scold me, I will kill you." He drew his sword and was about to chop the opponent, but was stopped by the soldiers. The two Manchu and Han generals who were already at odds continued to curse, and the two thousand Ti
All the soldiers with torches became live targets and were soon hit by dense bullets. Only a few smart ones who had thrown away the torches and dismounted escaped.
At this time, an exciting trumpet sound suddenly sounded, and there were shouts of killing and gunshots everywhere. The strong men ran away. The two quarreling generals did not care so much and fled with a few people around them.
.
Regent Dorgun looked at the two people in front of him. He was so angry that he wanted to kill them directly, but he felt that it was not appropriate. After all, he heard from the two of them that there were 50,000 well-trained musketeers.
It must be defeated, but the numbers really make him not believe it. After all, Shanxi's military force to resist the Qing army is very small. Even if there is the bandit army called the Chinese Army, it has taken in a large number of refugees and bandits who could not survive and took refuge with them.
There were only 300,000 people waiting for him, most of them were young and old women. Even if 50,000 strong and strong people were selected to quickly train in the use of firearms, they still had to find ways to buy muskets and ammunition. It was just a joke. Suddenly, he remembered that after fighting with the Chinese army, he had to find a way to buy muskets and ammunition.
The 2,000 most elite soldiers in Zhengbai Banner and the 500 people who escaped all said that the Chinese army's firearms are very fast, very fast. If combined, the Chinese army must be making extremely fast muskets themselves.
, he was startled by his own thoughts. If there were 50,000 skilled rapid-fire soldiers, the consequences of directly attacking Beijing would be disastrous.
He immediately issued a transfer order, asking southern Henan, eastern Henan, and northern Henan to first mobilize 50,000 elite troops back to Shanxi, and then mobilize 20,000 troops from Shanxi. He wanted to immediately wipe out the Chinese army.
Before Regent Dorgun's transfer order could be issued to the generals everywhere, the artillery and another supply of rations that the Qing army was looking forward to attacking Tongguan were robbed, and as many as five thousand Qing soldiers were killed or captured. This incident
The incident shocked the warlords of various factions, causing the Qing army under Tongguan to collect grain everywhere. In the end, nearly 50,000 troops were sent directly into southeastern Henan to grab grain. The pressure on the Dashun Army was greatly reduced.
The coming of the 70,000 Manchu Qing troops led by Duduo and Haoge gave Zhang Huahan a headache because the expansion project of China City was under way. The reason for this urgency was that more and more people came to join the Chinese army, even forming an official
Because after Li Yan was killed by King Li Chuang, Li Yan's old troops separated from the Dashun Army and were driven into refugee troops by various forces after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, China City now has a population of 500,000.
And although there is a lot of land, it is not within the protection range. If the enemy destroys the cultivated fields as soon as they come, they will all starve. Therefore, after expanding China City, all residents can be accommodated, and all residents can be accommodated.
The expanded China City has enough fields to feed everyone. However, during the expansion, there were defense points everywhere, which gave Zhang Huahan a headache.
However, the expansion of the army made Zhang Huahan feel more relieved. Now the army has two divisions and one regiment. Because Li Wenhua and Zhao Qiang have outstanding military talents, they were responsible for the three ambush battles of grabbing food and grabbing artillery.
Zhang Huahan only played a nodding role in the planning and implementation. Unexpectedly, it succeeded smoothly and captured Zhang Cunren, a traitor who was a gunner who could fire accurately. Moreover, the two of them had learned about Zhang Chao's military talents, so Li Wenhua
Zhao Qiang was appointed as the commander of the First New Division, and Zhao Qiang was appointed as the commander of the Second New Division. Each division was expanded into four regiments. The first regiments of the two divisions were directly commanded by the division commanders, while the second regiments of the first division were commanded by
The deputy commander of the First Division is commanded by Zhang Liang. The Third Regiment of the First Division is headed by the newly promoted commander Wen Xiangtian, who has outstanding military talents. The commander of the Fourth Regiment of the First Division is Zhao Gang, who was previously the battalion commander. The second regiment of the Second Division is under the command of Zhang Liang.
It is commanded by Xu Jinjin, Zhang Liang's deputy who was not very capable in assisting military affairs and has now been promoted to deputy commander of the second division. The commander of the third regiment of the second division is named Gao Gaowen, who is also a good fighter. The commander of the fourth regiment of the second division is Wu Qi.
He was also promoted to battalion commander. The 3,000-strong Special Forces Regiment are all warriors with superb skills. The deputy commander is Wen Gaofei, a seasoned civilian officer, and the commander is still Zhang Chao. Now Zhang Chao is still
It is really very busy to take time out of your busy schedule to teach military knowledge to officers at all levels.dd
