In a barracks in the barracks of the oilfield area of Qingshan Town, Wu Guanlin was talking endlessly on the podium, while hundreds of students below were wearing military uniforms and wearing brigadiers, corporals, and sergeants.

In the end, Lin Ziran took Luo Mazi and a few people to observe.

At this time, Wu Guanlin, who was on the podium, was talking about infantry and artillery coordination tactics to a group of young officers.

He spoke very carefully, and he did not just talk about simple theories, but also collected many examples of battles to explain.

I only heard Wu Guanlin say: "In the Hengao War, the Eighth Army of our Great Heng Army carried out large-scale infantry and artillery coordinated operations for the first time in the Battle of Khand, and before the Eighth Army launched a frontal attack by the infantry troops, the artillery unit composed of sixty-three artillery companies and a total of more than 300 artillery pieces of various types launched a two-minute artillery preparation!" ”

"Through the sudden large-scale intensive artillery bombardment, the two divisions in the front of the Austrian army were devastated, and after the infantry assault unit of our Daheng Army launched a frontal attack, the resistance encountered was greatly reduced!"

"At this time, the main field artillery in the artillery unit began to extend the artillery fire, blocking the reinforcement of the Austrian troops, and buying enough time for the follow-up infantry units to stabilize their positions and reorganize the queue!"

"The coordinated operation between infantry and artillery in this battle is a classic battle!"

The Battle of Khand, this battle was the key battle in the Heng Olympic War, when the Eighth Army of the Heng Army with 150,000 troops and hundreds of artillery pieces tried to launch a large-scale roundabout attack from the left flank in order to completely win the war.

It was then desperately intercepted by the Austrians, and the Battle of Kander was an encounter between the Eighth Army and the Austrian interceptors.

The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and in the course of the battle, the artillery and infantry of the Heng army played perfectly, and its infantry and artillery coordinated tactics almost completely destroyed the main infantry and artillery units of the Austrian army.

But it is a pity that at that time, the Austrian army saw that the left flank was about to finish, regardless of the danger from the front, directly mobilized frontal troops to carry out mobile interception, while the frontal offensive troops of the Heng army moved slowly and failed to contain them in time.

In the end, the Eighth Army won the Battle of Khand, but in the end it still failed to complete the strategic task of a large-scale detour, resulting in the failure of the entire battle.

But in any case, the infantry and artillery coordination tactics shown by the Heng Army in the Battle of Kander have almost become a model battle for the global army to engage in infantry and artillery coordination tactics in the following decades.

The armies of many countries, whenever they talk about infantry and artillery coordination, will bring out the Battle of Kande and talk about it again.

As a direct result of this, the artillery units of various countries have almost completely shifted to the direction of large-caliber and long-range development, and it is difficult to play the coordination of infantry and artillery if the firing range of artillery is insufficient.

In the past, although the army units of various countries were also equipped with artillery, they were still mainly equipped with small and medium-sized calibers, and were generally equipped with five-kilogram artillery or three-kilogram artillery, and if it was a seven-kilogram artillery, it could be regarded as large-caliber long-range artillery, and the firing range of these artillery pieces was very close, and the effective firing range was generally less than 500 meters.

As for the nine-pound field cannon, except for the Daheng Army, other army units were not equipped on a large scale.

After all, this thing is too heavy and difficult to maneuver.

But in the following decades, all countries have been equipped with nine-pound field cannons one after another.

This is the case in other countries, and it is even more so on the side of Daheng, where the artillery units in each feudal town will be equipped with nine-pound field guns and five-pound artillery together.

The Hengao War, as the largest and most influential large-scale battle on the Blue Star in recent decades, had a significant impact, and many military innovations appeared in the Heng Olympic War, such as steam ships, ironclad ships, and so on.

Today's many feudal towns within Daheng, their army building strategies were naturally greatly influenced by the Hengao War.

For example, the infantry conducts a close-range salvo, and after a salvo, they charge directly with bayonets, this combat habit is actually what the Austrian army was good at before, just like the Austrian army's rear slope tactics, which made the Heng army suffer many big losses.

The troops in many feudal towns in Dahengli are all influenced by the Austrian army in those years, and they pay great attention to the tactics of close-range salvo and bayonet charge, and pay more attention to the tactics of the rear slope and so on.

As for the coordination of infantry and artillery and even the tactics of coordination of infantry and cavalry, that is something that the troops of each feudal town must study.

Because most of the large-scale feudal towns are equipped with infantry and artillery under their hands, because Daheng is not short of artillery and war horses, they naturally do not lack either.

Even Lin Ziran, who has only more than 2,000 people under his command, has a complete range of arms under his command, including infantry, artillery, cavalry, baggage, and other arms, and the ratio of artillery to cavalry is not small.

Lin Ziran didn't know much about how to do the coordinated tactics of the other feudal towns, but he knew that the coordinated tactics of his own troops could not be the same as those of other feudal towns.

Because the weapons used by both sides are different.

The muskets used by Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade were mini-rifles, which had an effective range of almost three or four times that of smoothbore guns.

Even in artillery, it is estimated that it can occupy a certain advantage, and the artillery used by other units in the Luo'an Army is still the traditional five-pound and nine-pound artillery, and the effective firing range is generally within 1,000 meters, but the new nine-catty field artillery they use can reach an effective firing range of 1,500 meters or even higher.

The weapons are not the same, and the details of the tactics will be different.

In the coordinated operation of multiple arms, how to better bring into play the power of new artillery and rifled guns has always been the focus of the research of these officers in the staff office under Lin Ziran.

In particular, the coordinated tactics of infantry and artillery are the top priority.

In these years, not to mention professional officers, even ordinary soldiers know that when fighting, it is best to bomb it with artillery first, and then the infantry begins to advance, and the artillery is extended forward, and after the infantry rushes up, the artillery continues to extend, blocking the enemy's counterattack and consolidating the results of the attack.

Basically, the artillery rushed after the infantry rushed, the infantry rushed after the artillery bombarded, and so on!

As for the cavalry, if your own infantry artillery unit is good enough to defeat the opponent head-on, then the cavalry is used to intercept the enemy's cavalry, protect the flank of your frontal troops, and after the enemy army collapses, it is used to pursue the enemy army and grab the head.

If your own infantry artillery is not good enough to directly destroy the enemy's infantry artillery head-on, then on the contrary, you need your own cavalry to attack on the flank, through rapid maneuvering on the battlefield, especially to avoid or kill the enemy's intercepting cavalry, find the enemy's flank weak point and kill it, quickly divide the enemy's army, cause the enemy's frontal troops to waver, and create opportunities for your own artillery and infantry frontal attack.

This is almost the standard tactic of the armies of the Blue Star countries after the Hengao War, including the armies of the various feudal towns in Daheng.

Although each other's troop establishment and weapon performance are different, the core things are almost the same, and multi-arm coordination is even more necessary.

For Lin Ziran and them, the key now is how to make the troops equipped with new weapons carry out effective coordinated operations of the arms to exert greater power.

Wu Guanlin has always led the staff officers of the General Staff Office to study this issue, and today's lecture is the first time that he has explained to the officers in the army their theory of the new type of multi-arms coordinated operations.

After the course, Wu Guanlin went to Lin Ziran's side: "My lord, the tactical theory I said today is not too perfect, and we may need exercises or even actual combat to test the effect in the future, so as to improve in the future!" ”

Lin Ziran smiled: "I can still trust Brother Wu's talent, don't worry about it boldly!" ”

This is true, after being in contact with Wu Guanlin for a long time, Lin Ziran just feels that this person's ability to lead troops to fight is not known to him for the time being, but this person's military theory ability is very solid.

Even an elite officer in the former Guang'an Army like Xu Zhongshu admired Wu Guanlin's tactical theories.

Seeing Wu Guanlin's performance, Lin Ziran just wanted to dig up a few more elite talents.

It's a pity that most of the real elites don't look down on small feudal towns like themselves.

The attitudes of these people made Lin Ziran start to think about it, otherwise he would just tie a few back and forget it.
