After the British and Indian troops withdrew, they stopped continuing to attack. The British and Indian troops also withdrew their artillery, as if all attacks had ceased. The Western Sichuan Army was able to breathe a sigh of relief. The British and Indian troops invested in the attack at once.
Thousands of people attacked, and even if the Western Sichuan Army was on the defensive side, the pressure was very high. In the afternoon battle, the British and Indian troops dropped thousands of corpses in front of the Western Sichuan Army's position. And the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, in
The attack by the British and Indian troops also cost thousands of casualties. Many of them were killed by the artillery fire of the British and Indian troops. When the British and Indian troops attacked, they could not hide in the artillery holes and could only
They braved the artillery bombardment of the British and Indian troops to fight back, so the losses were relatively large. However, judging from this battle damage, it is already very good. Today, the Western Sichuan Army suffered almost two thousand casualties, while the British and Indian troops suffered casualties.
Tens of thousands of people. If this continues, it won't be long before we can have a comprehensive advantage over the British and Indian troops.
"Brigade commander, the young marshal is here!" At this time, Du Qizheng's guard reported.
"What? The young marshal is here?" Du Qizheng was shocked. This is the front line, how could the young marshal come to a place like this? If someone does something bad, then he can't afford the responsibility! Du Qizheng grabbed his hat
He rushed out of the headquarters and saw Wang Yuze taking Wang Wei and several guards to inspect the ninth brigade's defense line.
"Young Marshal, why are you here? How dangerous it is here!" Du Qizheng said.
"It's okay! Didn't the British and Indian troops stop attacking? I just came up to take a look!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Seeing the degree of damage to the defense line and the piles of corpses at the bottom of the mountain, he knew that the battle just happened
How tragic.
"Here, Marshal, let's go to my headquarters!" Du Qizheng said. His headquarters is in the woods behind the defense line, and it is much safer than this forward position.
"Okay!" Wang Yuze nodded. Anyway, he has almost completed his inspection. The next step is to listen to Du Qizheng's report. He knows the difficulties of these people, and because of his identity, he has always been cautious. He also
I don’t want to make it too difficult for the people below.
When the group arrived at Du Qizheng's headquarters, deputy brigade commander Zhang Ruifeng and chief of staff Qian Tailin of the Ninth Brigade also arrived.
"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look. You all go and do your own business!" Wang Yuze said. A battle has just ended. As the chief officers of the ninth brigade, Du Qizheng and the other three must be very busy. Now there is Du Qizheng
Report to him, and there is no need for others to delay any more. Who knows when the British and Indian troops will attack next, lest there is no one to direct the battle and the British and Indian troops are caught off guard.
"Yes, Marshal!" Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the ninth brigade, and Qian Tailin, chief of staff, left after hearing what Wang Yuze said.
"Lao Du, are the British difficult to deal with? How many casualties were there in this battle?" Wang Yuze asked. When he came, the injured soldiers of the Ninth Brigade had been transferred to the hospital down the mountain, and the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were also
was restrained. However, he expected that the casualties from this battle would not be too small. After all, although he stayed at the headquarters this afternoon, there was heavy artillery fire on the Volta Mountain side, and the British and Indian troops invested tens of thousands of people in the attack.
Even if the Ninth Brigade defeated the opponent's attack, it would be absolutely impossible if it did not suffer any losses.
"Yes, Marshal. Compared with the Qing army, the British are indeed difficult to deal with. In the fighting this afternoon, our brigade lost thousands of people! An entire battalion was lost! Plus the 16th
One battalion was lost when the British 28th Infantry Brigade was annihilated that day. The Ninth Brigade has already lost two battalions of troops! Now no battalion is full, and the 1st Battalion, which has lost the most, only has three battalions left.
One-third of the soldiers!" Du Qizheng said, his eyes became red as he spoke. Although the grown man bleeds and does not shed tears, but seeing his soldiers die like this one by one, the brigade commander
He felt very uncomfortable.
"I know, Lao Du. Our soldiers are all good! But there is nothing we can do about it. This battle is not what we want to fight. The British have bullied us. We can't do it without fighting!
Moreover, the whole of China has lagged behind for too long and is about to become the prey of the great powers. If we do not resist, I am afraid that our descendants will be enslaved by the great powers. If China wants to rise, it will inevitably fight a lot of wars and die more.
People. But we have no choice!" Wang Yuze said. In this era, if a country wants to be able to speak in the world, it only depends on the strength of a country. If Western Sichuan wants to unify China, it must rise to become a world power.
, then Western Sichuan had no other choice but to defeat its enemies and other great powers. In later generations, the eastern island country of Japan also relied on defeating the Qing Dynasty and Russia before being accepted by the great powers and becoming an emerging power in the world.
A powerful country?
"I know, Young Marshal. Although I, Old Du, are a rough man, I still understand the interests of the nation. Young Marshal, I, Old Du, promise you that I will fight wherever you point me from now on without any hesitation!" Du Qizheng said sternly.
.
"Okay! That's good. Lao Du, I promise you that we will definitely be able to create a peaceful and prosperous era for China and our descendants!" Wang Yuze said solemnly.
After coming down from Volta Mountain, Wang Yuze did not meet the headquarters directly, but went to the field hospital. The field hospital was located in the river valley. All medical personnel from the three brigades gathered together and built a temporary hospital in the river valley.
.Enough to accommodate thousands of people. But now, the entire hospital is still overcrowded.
As soon as he entered the hospital, Wang Yuze smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant and the painful moans coming from the tent.
"Young Marshal, why are you here?" As soon as Wang Yuze walked into the field hospital, he met the director of the hospital. A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white coat, gloves on his hands, and a trace of
The blood stains must have come from the operating room.
"Dean Liu, let me take a look. You can go about your business!" Wang Yuze said. After the battle, the hospital was the busiest place, and he did not want his arrival to affect the hospital's treatment of the wounded.
"Okay, then I'm going to get busy. I have another surgery!" Director Liu of the field hospital didn't say much and left in a hurry.
Wang Yuze walked into a tent, which was where the wounded lived. In the tent of less than fifty square meters, there were actually twenty wounded. Some of them were seriously injured and were lying on the bed groaning at the moment.
Some of those with relatively minor injuries were talking quietly. However, from their eyes, Wang Yuze accurately saw a hint of loneliness.
Perhaps when they were in battle, they fought the enemy with their passion. But after they were injured, they might have to think about their future. It would be fine if they were slightly injured, but if they were seriously injured or disabled, they would no longer be able to stay in the army.
.Although Western Sichuan provides a lot of protection for disabled soldiers, it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings.
Wang Yuze's arrival did not attract everyone's attention. After two minutes, a wounded soldier leaning against the door discovered Wang Yuze. As soon as he saw Wang Yuze, his eyes widened. He immediately stood up from the bed and shouted loudly
He said: "Hello, Young Marshal!" Then he raised his right hand in salute, but found that his right hand only had an empty sleeve. In the battle, his right hand had been lost.
Wang Yuze's eyes turned red when he saw that the wounded soldier's face had not lost its childishness and he was only ten years old. Now he had become a disabled person.
"Hello!" Wang Yuze firmly held the wounded soldier's left hand with both hands.
"Hello, Marshal!" The other wounded soldiers in the room also noticed Wang Yuze and stood up to salute him. However, the group no longer had their hands, and some of the wounded soldiers had no legs, but they relied on the support of their comrades.
, also stood up. The remaining wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and lying on the bed also looked at Wang Yuze with wide eyes.
"Everyone, sit down quickly! There's no need to stand. I'm just here to see everyone!" Wang Yuze said quickly.
After his persuasion, the wounded soldiers sat down again.
"On behalf of my father and the people of Western Sichuan, I would like to thank you. The stability and prosperity of Western Sichuan are only possible because of your efforts. In addition, I assure you that you were injured for Western Sichuan."
I will never ignore you. After you recover from your injuries, Western Sichuan will properly arrange your future! You are injured and disabled. But you are still useful people. After you return to your hometown, you can serve as military instructors in schools.
Village cadres, etc. can also contribute to western Sichuan." Wang Yuze assured everyone.
I don't know when, the outside of this tent was surrounded by the injured door. They looked at Wang Yuze eagerly and listened to his assurance. There was a glimmer of hope in their originally lonely and confused eyes. Yes, they were injured.
They are disabled. But this does not mean that they are useless. Even after demobilization, they can still contribute to western Sichuan, which means that they are still valuable.
After Wang Yuze finished speaking, all the wounded people applauded. Although the applause was not enthusiastic, Wang Yuze's heart was warm. It is because of the sacrifices of these people one after another that the current western Sichuan is possible. Similarly, western Sichuan is also
They will not be forgotten. Perhaps, there are still some things that are not done well in the system of supporting disabled soldiers in western Sichuan, but Wang Yuze has made up his mind to implement this aspect well after this battle is over.
We cannot let these soldiers who shed blood for western Sichuan shed any more tears.
Wang Yuze did not stay in the field hospital longer and left in less than half an hour. Now in the middle of a war, he still had too many things to deal with.
