I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Trash, coward. There are less than 200 people on the other side, and you actually tell me that I can't rush through?"

On the other side, a regimental commander from the federal army came to the front line and got furious.

Their battalion is three times as large as the enemy in front, but they just can't rush through.

The battalion commander responsible for leading the team even shamelessly applied for support. How could Chris not be angry?

"Captain, the boys have tried their best, but the reality is that we can't get through."

Battalion Commander Clark contradicted.

In one of his reinforced battalions, more than 600 people had been killed in the battle, and nearly 100 others were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

The damage exceeded one-third, which was very tragic.

In Clark's view, it was already an extremely good performance to reach this level and his own troops had not collapsed. He could not ask for more.

As for the fact that the Chinese army on the opposite side has better numbers, he feels that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army cannot be measured by quantity.

"Fake, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I ask you to take your men and rush forward immediately to drive the damn enemy out of the position. If you continue to delay, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive. By then, this area The defense line will fall."

Chris was also under a lot of pressure, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the front line where bullets were flying.

In desperation, Clark could only lead the group of cursing soldiers to charge again.

But obviously, this approach is very ineffective.

If soldiers cannot be made to fight willingly, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

This is true in the era of cold weapons, and even more so in the era of hot weapons.

Clark's troops rushed more than ten meters on the ground and in the tunnels. After encountering a fierce counterattack by the Chinese army, they immediately retreated and looked for a hiding place.

It is obviously unrealistic for Clark to send these people to death with just one order.

Just as they were retreating, the Chinese army sounded the charge horn again.

Their reinforcements have arrived.

"Fa Ke, run away quickly, the enemy is about to counterattack."

After fighting several times, the federal army was no longer unfamiliar with Dahua's charge. When they heard the charge of the Chinese army, they immediately understood that this was the Chinese army's general attack.

Although this means that the Chinese troops will rush out of their positions, making it easier for them to shoot.

However, there are not many soldiers who can maintain such sanity at this time.

What more soldiers thought was that the Chinese army was coming and they would be dead if they didn't run away.

The Chinese army pressed forward heavily, but the federal soldiers failed to withstand the pressure. Their psychological defenses collapsed, and the battle lines also collapsed.

The Chinese army chased and shot at the same time, which was not easy.

As the Chinese army continues to advance, the situation of the federal army is getting worse and worse.

There are only two choices before them, one is to retreat completely and retain their strength.

The other is to concentrate all available forces to recapture the areas captured by the Chinese army.

If you can't get it back, then there will be a big problem.

This means that troops on other fronts may be surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army.

"Commander, give the order to retreat. The enemy is advancing too fast and we have no time to assemble our troops."

Lorenz said.

Although they still have many troops, they are more powerful than the Chinese Army and the Independent Army.

However, their troops are scattered along this 100-kilometer defense line. Their troops are very scattered and it is not easy to assemble them in a short time.

If the troops on the edge of the defense line want to reach the middle line of defense, it will take a day or two just to travel.

This is also a disadvantage for the defensive side, as the attacking side can concentrate its forces more conveniently.

If the federal army does not retreat at this time, their troops will be wiped out one by one.

"Damn it, everyone in the Second Division deserves to die. They lost our most important position."

Kenner cursed that if the commander of the Second Division was here, he might not be able to help but shoot the opponent.

The Second Division, which was defeated by the Chinese army, was the direct cause of their failure.

The others didn't answer after hearing this, but in their hearts, they actually didn't agree with Kenna's statement.

You know, the Second Division is facing the main force of the Chinese army.

If it were another army, it might not be able to do as well as the Second Division.

"Let each unit make arrangements for their retreat, and they must retreat in an orderly manner. I don't want to see them being chased away like rabbits."

Kenner finally decided to make a full retreat to preserve his strength.

It was too late to have troops from other places gather to support the Second Division.

Kenna still has this sense of judgment.

Although Kenner issued the order, this did not mean that the federal troops could retreat smoothly.

It was not easy for his orders to reach all the frontline troops, who had neither telephones nor radios.

To convey orders, one has to rely on the two legs of the messenger, or cars and horses.

But no matter which method is used, it can no longer keep up with the wars of today's era.

After the Chinese army made a breakthrough, they immediately notified troops in other directions via radio and asked them to start cooperating in operations.

In terms of communication and cooperation, the Chinese independent army surpassed the federal army by several steps.

The consequence of this was that the federal army was overwhelmed on all lines of defense.

And when the order to retreat was sent to them, they could only curse.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that our own side was defeated.

The federal officers who received the order quickly retreated, hoping to bring back as many soldiers as possible.

The soldiers under their command are also the source of their power.

If a certain state has exhausted its soldiers, it is impossible to expect another state to replenish it.

The disadvantages of this backward military system are actually visible to most officers in the federal army, but they cannot change them.

It is overthinking to expect those in power in each state to hand over all power to the federal government.

At this time, this backward military system once again put them in crisis.

No one wanted to stay, so they all just ran away.

It doesn't matter whether they can outrun the enemy. As long as they can outrun the friendly forces, they still have hope of escaping.

As a result, some extremely ugly scenes ensued on the battlefield.

There were even small-scale internal strife among the federal troops as they fled.

This made the Chinese army in charge of the pursuit stunned. They really couldn't understand why the enemy was still so leisurely and elegant.

But it doesn't matter, this actually gives the Chinese Army and the Independent Army an advantage.

They caught up with the main force of the federal army and began a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign to reap the results.

The federal army, which was bent on escaping, had collapsed. In this case, it had no intention of resisting and began to surrender on a large scale.

Sometimes, there was the collective surrender of entire regiments and entire brigades.

In order to deal with and place these prisoners, the Chinese army wasted a lot of time and energy.

From this aspect, these people succeeded in slowing down the pursuit of the Chinese army and allowed some federal troops to escape successfully.
