"No matter what, speed up and try your best to hurry." seeing that the heavy snow didn't stop, it was only a little smaller than at the beginning, but it was still snowy. While scolding the ghost weather in his heart, perminda still had to order the whole army to speed up as much as possible.
This may be because he rarely sees heavy snow in his living environment and cannot find a solution to the problem in such a bad environment. So that when Mingzhi Changxin, the commander of the 103 division, took the initiative to report the situation and ideas to him, he didn't even see him.
"Hum, it's just another division commander who came to dissuade me from marching carefully. How can I be stingy with the horse's feet before the military order? No, No." more than one person has said in his ear these days that marching under such heavy snow is a great burden for soldiers and horses. In this case, even if you arrive at the designated place, you may not be able to launch an attack. It's better to explain this situation to King Wunan, and then move forward to the destination under the condition of ensuring combat power as much as possible.
It was precisely because there were so many persuaders that Keda didn't want to see his teacher. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the prejudice in his heart. Wise Changxin is a Japanese. He doesn't have any good impression of such a nation that has repeatedly violated our great Han, so he won't be welcome.
However, it was precisely because of his move that the wise long letter who came to make suggestions was thrown into ashes, so he was unable to present a good way, which affected the speed of the gathering of the army, and finally let the 100000 cavalry of warla escape.
To see the commander blocked, wise Changxin had to return to the division with a helpless face. Living in Japan, accustomed to heavy snow, he had his own method, such as progressive forward. That is to say, it's certainly hard work for a division to take charge of the journey ahead today, but it doesn't matter. You can step back the next day and change to another division to take the journey ahead. If you repeat this repeatedly, you can take three days off for one day. In this way, you can create a road for the army to walk, and the speed will be improved a lot.
What's helpless is that he doesn't see himself at all. What should he do? He wanted to use this method by himself, but without military orders, his 103rd division could not cross the 101st and 102nd divisions to play forward. Otherwise, it would be a great crime to mobilize the army without orders.
Wisely, Changxin looked helpless and shook his head to give up. In contrast, the new five armies on the other side marching from besieged balicheng to Turpan are much faster. They just adopted the method thought by wise Changxin. One army and four divisions are moving forward in a progressive way. Although the speed is not fast enough due to heavy snow, it is better to let a fixed division open the way and have a rest time for each other, The marching speed of the army has increased a lot.
Army commander Shi Wanshan is in wanquandu division all year round, but it often snows there. How to walk in the snow naturally has long been a countermeasure. Under his leadership, the new Fifth Army is rapidly approaching Turpan city.
The third and fourth regiments of the fourth Lu Division, not far from their north, also ran forward under the leadership of division commander Ling Daqiang.
The snow was so heavy that Da Qiang gave up his bike and left a company for centralized guard. After that, he took the rest of the cold front soldiers on foot.
If it is said that in the principle of flatness, walking is naturally no faster than a war horse, but it is completely different under heavy snow. There are many times, even the speed of a single person is faster. In particular, they can become cold front soldiers. Who is not a person with good military quality assessment or above, their foot strength is not bad.
Ling Daqiang took more than 4000 soldiers to change their steps, which was very anxious. The Warsaw cavalry and Kazakh cavalry responsible for tracking and containing them on both sides.
The heavy snow also formed a big obstacle to them. In addition, there was a strong wind from time to time, so that they lost them. The fourth Lu Division disappeared.
To this end, the two generals of Chaolu and gulijiang, who led the team, were naturally anxious. After trying to use various methods, they still couldn't find the target. They had to make a very reluctant decision, that is, to report the situation back. Although they would be reprimanded for it, the military situation is very important, so they can't play any tricks.
Under the same heavy snow, even the speed of scouts and messengers is greatly affected. These people in charge of sending orders did not know that the two regiments of the fourth Lu Division, the target they had been staring at, had long been ahead of them.
Under the heavy snow, the strong wind rises suddenly. When the wild animals are unwilling to come out to look for food, an army is moving forward in the snow with superhuman perseverance. They are carrying their combat readiness spades and constantly digging. Although the newly dug truth will soon be buried by the heavy snow under the strong wind, they are still trying to wave their arms just to create an easy way for the soldiers behind them.
"The second company has been holding on for half an hour. Change to the third company." in the team, the head of the three regiments in charge of taking the lead shouted loudly in the snowy and windy weather. A group of 100 soldiers rushed forward, replaced the brothers of the second company responsible for opening the road, and the army continued to move forward.
With such perseverance, the fourth Lu Division was worthy of the title of cold front. It shook off the pursuers on both sides and approached Turpan city step by step. Together with the new Fifth Army. They reported their position by telegraph. Yang Chendong naturally knew all this, but the five nation coalition army was still in the dark.
It is said that time is money. The same is true on the battlefield. News and intelligence have a certain timeliness, and whoever's news is half a beat slow often means that he has lost the first opportunity and even has to fall behind and be beaten.
The generals of the five countries had no knowledge of the crisis. They were still looking forward to capturing Turpan city and capturing Yang Chendong alive, so as to change the war situation in one fell swoop. They don't know that the intercepting army they sent has been blocked by the heavy snow and can't warn.
It was agreed to play for three days, and today is the last day. Seeing the five-star army and the young people of Turpan on the city floor, they are already far away from falling, but every time a soldier rushes to the city floor risking his life, he will still be beaten down again and fall into the dust.
What was even more unexpected to the Allied forces of the five countries was that in the afternoon, a scout suddenly came and told the news that Yeerqiang and Turpan troops were defeated at the pass to Ala mountain. Although the news of the great defeat of 80000 troops in Yili has not been transmitted back, these are enough to make the morale of the army unstable, and it is impossible to deal with it calmly before.
"I can't move." with bloodshot eyes, Yili finally said this to Li Guo and general Ke Gen after the sun set.
The ten thousand infantry he had brought had already been exhausted, and there were only three thousand cavalry left. The armies of the other four countries also suffered some losses, but they still didn't capture Turpan city. His main attacking general had to admit that this road really didn't work.
"Or we'll try another day." among the big accounts of the five nation coalition forces, the general representative of Kazakhstan, Klei, said reluctantly.
Hearing this, Heke Gen's eyes brightened, but soon they darkened again. "We don't have enough troops now. Even if we can capture Turpan City, we don't have enough cavalry to trap the king of Wunan. So far, we haven't seen a black riding Dragon Guard. That's the strongest force around the king of Wunan."
Although he Kegen wanted to deny it, he could not deny the strength of the five-star army. In fact, the need for the five-star coalition forces to fight together has proved the strength and horror of the five-star army.
As it is now, they have pressed nearly two-thirds of their troops and still can't shake the five-star army. Even people didn't show their cards. It's already known who won and who lost that battle.
It must be strange that the five nations' coalition forces did not spare all their forces this time. If the three Kenyan countries of Li, Turpan and Yeerqiang were to send 30000 troops, with such superior forces, I'm afraid they would have captured Turpan City long ago. Even if Yang Chendong could not be captured alive, captured the city and hit him hard, there would be no problem.
When people are united, Mount Tai moves. As a coalition army, this sentence is like a joke. No one dares to expect that they can really work together.
He Kegen pointed out his own shortcomings and listened to the representatives of other countries just bow their heads. I don't know how long later, the leader broke the silence and said, "it doesn't matter. We still have a chance. This time, at least we forced the king of Wunan to shrink in the city and dare not come out, which is a great blow to his arrogance. When the next opportunity meeting, we will succeed in one fell swoop."
The result of the battle is not satisfactory, and there may even be accidents. At this moment, it is very dangerous to stay outside Turpan. If you don't get one, you may be rushed up by the reinforcements of the five-star army and make dumplings. This is something they absolutely don't want to see. In such a situation, it is wise to withdraw in time.
The speech of the leader also represents the complete end of the siege of Turpan. The next step is to retreat. Have a good night's rest, leave this place of right and wrong early tomorrow morning, and then the whole army is fighting.
Soon there was no one in the big tent, and all the generals were preparing for their withdrawal early tomorrow morning. But they don't know that the real darkness is coming. Their biggest opponent, Wunan king, has decided to launch a general attack tonight.
When Yang Chendong made this decision, he received a telegram from the new Fifth Army and the fourth Lu Division. They had all arrived eight miles outside Turpan city and were ready to attack at any time. Hearing that they had arrived, Yang Chendong decided to launch a night attack.
