Chapter 554 Return 4
At night, the Luo family mansion, the inner room with a cool breeze, I was writing hard on the desk.
I had just had all kinds of lively and cheerful home-cooked dinners earlier, and I had a rare thought and a sudden idea.
Because I was suddenly arranged to go home to visit my relatives, there was some lack of preparation of specific information, so I could only use oral remarks and memories along the way to supplement it.
Mainly, I brought back some evaluations of the northern war situation and military thoughts to my partners and revolutionary partners.
Among the three forces that have been mixed up in the north, Hu Ma'er, who is under the princes outside the Great Wall, is undoubtedly the most aggressive and offensive group. They have a high individual fighting spirit and often have no need to sacrifice, but discipline and organizational strength are a big problem.
That is, a small number of directly affiliated vassal troops mixed in the period will be slightly decent, whether in equipment training or disciplined lineup, but the number is limited, and it is scattered under each person, making it difficult to form an effective joint force.
Therefore, it is easier to defeat them under normal circumstances, but it is difficult to completely annihilate them.
Therefore, our army's strategies on the Western Front were mostly to adopt regular elastic attacks, attacking cattle and sheep, or removing key points of destruction, to break the battle preparations accumulated in stages, in exchange for a certain period of time.
Even forcing them to enter, the frontal field battles or base-setting matches that our army is good at and has advantages. The price of nomadic mobility is the fragility of logistics supply. As the opponent's personnel, they can run, but they cannot escape the cattle and sheep community that accompany the nearby cattle and sheep.
After they entered the Central Plains, they had their own territory and spheres of influence, which was equivalent to binding their own strength to these strongholds in disguise, giving us more tactical choices.
As long as the time is delayed a little longer, it is easy to fall into chaos without fighting, and then be defeated by the flawless formation or eliminated in one go...
Therefore, if we suffer much more frustration in the face of the strong formation of the battle formation on our side, these forces outside the border will naturally choose to retreat, and then they will often turn around and try to recover the losses from the Northern Army camp.
This will reduce the pressure on our front confrontation in one fell swoop.
As forces in the Northern Dynasties, they undoubtedly have more home advantage in the Central Plains. However, whether it is due to internal reasons or institutional defects, these advantages are obviously unable to be fully utilized.
Although the Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasties had already failed, it was obviously not easy to be defeated by the Northern Dynasties, which were defeated by the Luodu Imperial City. In various senses, the tragic price of killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 themselves.
In the military, it means that the vast majority of experienced soldiers and generals have been lost. Among the reorganized and restored military quotations, they seem to have weak combat power and poor energy from the old-fashioned Northern Army that we have fought before, and those who fought bloody battles to protect their homes, even though they were killed and injured, they even called for the enemy to kill the enemy.
Therefore, in the offensives and battles initiated by the opponent, our army is often combined with its own forces. With its undominated forces, it can also make a larger exchange rate in field battles without any protection on the plains.
Because their order of offense, defense, advance and retreat is obviously because of the lack of sufficient number of experienced old soldiers and support, and it seems rigid and even a bit rigid, and even a little difficult to arrange and operate.
Many soldiers sacrificed their lives in vain to the rest of these tactics and the waste of time.
In the battlefield, a complete organization and well-trained queue will become the support of soldiers' beliefs and will. When the enemy flocks to the group to charge, it can make soldiers still obey orders and stay on the battlefield. It is not only a weapon in their hands, but also an important force to encourage each other in their eyes.
The rows of battle lines used by our army, the intensive use of firearms and cannons, are the stepping stones to break down this foundation and belief.
Well, although firearms have appeared to have different degrees of matching in many armies throughout the era, they still play the auxiliary role of long-distance suppression and short-term defense on the battlefield. The concept of using firearm troops or other military combinations alone on a large scale has not appeared.
On the other hand, due to the loss of technology and termination caused by war, the labor service of firearm manufacturing in this era can be said to be uneven, and there is a lack of mass production scale effect. Even equipment standards such as caliber ammunition do not have unified standards or rough specifications. Perhaps this is my opportunity.
Of course, they also have their own advantages and strengths, which are relatively abundant human and material resources.
Especially after the Northern Dynasties received a sharp defeat in the Liang army and the remaining equipment and materials were abandoned, it was said that it had recovered a little. Re-transfusion from various channels north of the Yellow River could easily be restored and established a series of new military numbers.
Therefore, in the battle between Juyezawa and Mineyang Mountain, when our army easily defeats a Northern Dynasty military order in any front of the front, in the local defensive counterattack battle, we can always find more Northern Dynasty military orders to follow up, and create new potential threats and pressures nearby.
Although most of them are "friendly troops who are not moving as if they are in trouble", "flags and shouts and bluffs", or sending cavalry to play around the edge of the battlefield, "retreating quickly after hearing the sound" and dealing with the situation.
However, at my current stage, I do not advocate using precious and limited combat power to take risks to gain this possibility. Therefore, after breaking the enemy in a large scale, I cannot let go of Wuji to pursue further and achieve more thorough results.
In most cases, seizing some armored weapons that can only be equipped for third-rate garrison troops, capturing some new laborers that provide mine pits, is the biggest gain among them.
In terms of the quality of the soldiers from the north and south, although the northerners have obvious advantages in terms of their physical fitness and courage.
These Southern Dynasties, or the army in Lingnan, were actually not short of soldiers with hard work or strong fighting will. As long as they were well trained, they might not be inferior to those northern soldiers with superior physical fitness. Even if they were not resistant to severe cold climate factors, they could slowly overcome and adapt through regional stage training.
But most of the problems lie at the level of their officers, with various children from the vassal families and nobles flooding them, and inevitably bringing in a lot of weak styles, and rigid dogmas have poor command.
The rich products and the hot climate in Lingnan have also contributed to the mentality and atmosphere of not being enterprising and being at ease. If you lack the magic of the battlefield, you will easily lose your sharpness and fighting spirit in a comfortable environment.
Therefore, almost most of the troops who performed well in the Northern Expedition were those who were mainly composed of Nantou people and naturalized people in the military orders provided by Yanbian. Their fighting will be much firmer, and they also have more hopes and expectations for the restoration of the North.
But compared with the upper-level forces such as the Northern People's Party who were out of the matter, they were undoubtedly the group with the most tragic losses and the most casualties in the Northern Expedition.
You should know that compared with the chaotic times outside the ridge, the Nanling Road, which is filled with a large number of refugees and slaves, can be said to be the source of the least lack of cheap labor.
The troops along the border were the first shortcuts and directions they chose, but the warlike army was not a matter of a day or a night. Therefore, these powerful war brigades were almost all fighting with the Nantou children of Yanbian, with all kinds of bloody battles and sacrifices.
Therefore, the State Administration of China had the plan to train a new army. At first, it mainly selected those northerners who fled to the south of the river, and selected Qingjian from a hundred of them, shaped them with cruel training and strict tidying, and forged a new army that had always been different from the past and used firearms to sing the mainstream.
But in the end, it was due to various powerful involvements and the fierce rebound of the traditional army, and it eventually became a mixed and four-dimensional compromise solution of multiple sources.
The real new army is probably the external team that I have only fought in various places in Tiannan and Anyuan, and has been honed.
Therefore, the tragic loss of the army this time also caused the biggest loser - the Southeast Army, the overall position of the head of General Manager Ning, and the division of the New Taipei People's Party in the North Korea and China.
Under the current Qingzhou government, there is a large enough base for young and strong people to choose calmly. Most people also have the motivation and urgent need to change their own destiny. Therefore, we have selected a large number of reserve troops above the level line.
The most basic requirement for these soldiers is to know that they will attack according to the order, and do not escape within three rounds of enemy fire, they can line up to charge in columns, and they can fight bayonets.
I occasionally give some messy and incredible orders, such as jumping down from a two-meter high, standing on one foot for ten minutes, grab cow dung on the ground, and apply sheep dung on my face, let them take off their clothes and jump into the cesspool, and run through the 100-meter passage with flames on both sides.
The top ten teams in each team followed the orders, not only steamed cakes and meat, but also light wine, but also five small silver coins to get. The top thirty people, including wine and meat, and the last ten people, after whipping ten whips, half of the bread that day, fell behind three times in a row, and were punished and labored, and then passed by-election.
For my military-building thought,
What is driven by survival pressure is only bandits, what is maintained by fear and violence is just a group of thugs, and what is restrained by severe punishment is the true army; and what is shaped by the concept of honor and disgrace that is deeply rooted in people's hearts and desire to pursue victory is a classical army with only souls and core ideas.
But if I had to say something, these are not enough. At least I had to instill and establish a basic meaning and reason to sacrifice myself for it, and have sufficient material foundation and incentives to make these a belief that will always be implemented. Whether it is brainwashing or ignorance, it is easier to achieve, and it is also the best choice for cost-effectiveness.
You will not easily shake your enemies when facing the temptation from external forces, and you will not easily be moved, but this requirement is a bit too high.
At present, the teaching brigade and model battalion of my direct subordinate to the Orthodox Swordsman, as well as the chief model regiments of several old camps as the basic base - the Imperial Camp Army, can barely achieve this level.
However, based on these backbone forces, a gradual structure of a hierarchy has quietly begun to take shape.
After rubbing my eyes that were sore, I stretched my waist a lot, and suddenly I felt that half of the lights seemed to be much brighter.
A pair of bright soft and jade-like soft and erected slowly as they approached, with the faint fragrance of the mast after bathing, pressed on my shoulders and rubbed them lightly or hardly.
