    Zu Liexin was angry.

    This is not a confrontation between warriors at all, but a pure use of superior firepower to deal with the flesh and blood drive!  Looking at the Cossack cavalry struggling and wailing in the middle of the pool of blood, his heart was bleeding.  He has already invested his main force and cannot launch a new offensive.  Of course, there was another level of concern: it was obvious that the People's Army was well prepared. Before the enemy's situation was clear, he did not want to make the same mistake again, so he ordered the withdrawal.

    "These shameless yellow monkeys are using such despicable methods! I will retaliate and destroy them with heavy artillery!"

    He seems to have forgotten that war is originally a contest of strategies.  The traditional Chinese understanding of military affairs is the best explanation of it.  Also, when it comes to dealing with the aggressor, no matter what means the just party uses, it will not be too much.

    The White Army withdrew, leaving behind a pile of chicken feathers.  The People's Army did not take the opportunity to counterattack because they were unable to counterattack.

    This battle was considered a great victory. The People's Army resisted an entire regiment with a hundred men, even though it was a makeshift infantry composed of cavalry.  However, the price was not small. Nearly twenty people died in the trenches, and at least fifteen others were seriously injured.  If it weren't for the unexpected attack by the mortar battery and the inability of the White Army to figure out the true situation, the front line would have collapsed.

    Even so, it is enough to be proud, because at least 300 enemy people were killed.  After reporting the results of the battle, Gao Fuyuan confidently asked Li Du to send reinforcements to supplement the missing personnel. He believed that another hundred or ten people could completely stop the enemy for at least one day.

    However, Li Du's order surprised him: "Prepare to retreat as planned."  These are Li Du's original words, concise and to the point.

    Despite the victory, it is expected that the White Army will not be reconciled. After figuring out the trump card of the People's Army, the next round of attacks will inevitably be more intense and full of variables.  Since the People's Army was far away from Buying and Selling City and the front was too long, if the White Bandit Army really pressed forward regardless of life and death, although it was possible to continue to inflict heavy losses on it, we could not avoid the possibility of the entire army being annihilated.

    In a trading city with such a small number of people, every People's Army is useful, and it is unacceptable to exchange for ten White Bandit Army.  After a small victory, withdrawing troops to the second line of defense can not only obtain supplies of ammunition, but also join forces with friendly forces, which is a great psychological comfort.  In addition, because it is closer to the city, the defensive area is relatively smaller and can be taken care of more.

    Another concern is that although the people's military dug a few "horse-rejection pits" first, due to the haste of the matter, after prioritizing the defense of the inner and outer cities and suburbs, the peripheral treatment could not be too careless.  Because these "rejection pits" are shallow and narrow, they can easily be filled up by the opponent. At that time, the artillery carried by the White Army can carry out a round of fire attack on the People's Army positions.  Similarly, in the hasty trenches, the people's officers and soldiers have extremely poor defense capabilities against artillery.

    This was what Li Du had planned beforehand. He expected that with the White Army's numerical advantage, the first line of defense would not be stable and would face possible artillery fire.  Therefore, after the great victory, the troops were withdrawn, leaving some tunnels for the White Army to block.  This time is the time you can get to stand still and wait for help, that is, the real strategy of "exchanging space for time".

    Gao Fuyuan strictly implemented military orders.  However, he was not in a hurry to reveal his intention to withdraw, and all the officers and soldiers were carefully observing the movements of the White Army.  Since we are delaying time, naturally the longer the better.  According to his judgment, unless the enemy increases their troops on a large scale, judging from the number of corpses left by the enemy on the battlefield, they should be unable to launch another large-scale attack.  Therefore, waiting and seeing so that the enemy cannot easily gain position is also part of the strategy.  He simply sent some of the lightly and seriously wounded back to the rear, along with the mortar battery, so that he could retreat as lightly as possible and as quickly as possible.

    Faced with the lack of movement in the People's Army positions, Lie Zuxin really did not dare to gamble on its defensive strength.  Most of his regiment has been lost, and he is helpless against the mortars of the People's Army. His only option is to bring in artillery and beat them to the ground!

    News of the failure of the frontline attack was quickly reported to Wen Ganlun, which gradually calmed down his enthusiasm for entering the Trading City for the night.  Unexpectedly, the People's Army still hides this trump card. It seems that it cannot achieve its goal unless it is removed.  Faced with Lie Zuxin's request, he nodded in agreement and said, "Bring us all our cannons and let them have a taste of the power of our cannons!"

    The Asiatic Cavalry Division has 21 cannons.

    If Li Du and the others saw this kind of cannon, they would definitely wipe the sweat from their foreheads and say, "Okay, this is also called a cannon."  Although the 75mm gun of the People's Army is nothing in the West or even in the old Russian army, it is still very confident compared to this cavalry gun.

    Traditional cavalry artillery is inherently incomparable with infantry artillery, because the former emphasizes rapid breakthroughs and the characteristics of the latterp; In order to prevent the sudden destruction of the People's Army, Zulexin was very vigilant and constantly sent out scouts to find out the opponent's movements. The newly transferred main force "Prairie Eagle" Cavalry Regiment was also on guard on both sides, and the only cavalry division  Two hundred infantrymen took the lead and stood in front of the artillery to safely enter the position.

    Victory is already close at hand. Once his artillery is in position, the power of 21 artillery pieces is definitely not comparable to that of a few mortars of the People's Army.

    This is a well-trained army. Perhaps because of this, after experiencing the battle just now, the People's Army lost the courage to continue to fight.  When they cautiously approached the front line and used their outstanding battle formation to make the People's Army invulnerable, the People's Army did not launch even a tentative offensive, as if they were indifferent to the increasingly approaching artillery fire.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
