After deciding to suppress the bandits, it was natural to dispatch troops.

Wu Guanlin: "My lord, if you want to fight against bandits, because the bandits are scattered and the scale is effective, it is unlikely that they will fight with us in a frontal line. ”

"Most of the battles may be unconventional, especially skirmishers, and our light infantry tactics have been trained for a long time, this time it should come in handy, and at the same time, we can also watch the advantages and disadvantages of light infantry tactics through actual combat, so as to improve later."

Wu Guanlin seized the opportunity to sell his light infantry tactics, but fortunately, this person is a man who knows how to be flexible, and he does not stubbornly engage in this set of tactics when he is fighting regularly, and the daily training of the troops is still mainly based on line tactics, and the training of light infantry tactics is only used as a supplement.

Lin Ziran was actually very interested in his light infantry tactics, but he knew that in order to play Wu Guanlin's light infantry tactics, he had to equip a large number of rear-loading rifles.

Playing this kind of light infantry tactics with the current front-loading rifle will die a miserable death.

Even a Mini rifle would have died a terrible death.

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman, and Wu Guanlin is an out-and-out madman in the eyes of others.

Wu Guanlin's light infantry tactics were improved according to his own words on the contemporary tactics of the hunters, and after arriving at Qingshan Town, they were specially improved according to the characteristics of the Mini rifle and the company platoon of the supplementary brigade.

The traditional line combat method was abandoned, and the deployment process was based on the terrain and other scattered deployments, and the deployment process was based on an infantry squad of 14 people as a combat group, and multiple combat groups cooperated with each other to carry out defensive or offensive operations.

In this way, it can effectively evade shelling and reduce the casualty rate.

In Lin Ziran's opinion, this tactic is good, but if you want to take advantage of the terrain to make a detour and avoid artillery fire, first you have to be able to squat or lie on your stomach to load and shoot.

And this is the unique advantage of a rear-loading gun, which a front-loading rifle does not have.

However, Lin Ziran still supports Wu Guanlin to continue to improve this light infantry tactic, because in the future, the rear-loading rifle will definitely be able to be made.

Lin Ziran had already tried to make a rear-loading rifle before, but he was busy not talking about it before, and more importantly, there was no one to the Qingshan Machinery Factory, and there was no equipment or equipment, even if he made a few test sample guns, but there was no way to produce them on a large scale.

He didn't need a two-piece toy, but a rear-loading rifle that could be mass-produced and equipped, so it was dragged all the time.

But in the next anti-bandit operation, Lin Ziran planned to give priority to rear-loading rifles.

Since mid-November, all units under Lin Ziran's command have drawn troops to participate, and most of the participating units have undergone special training in light infantry tactics.

They burrowed into the mountains and forests, taking advantage of the range of the Mini rifle, and swept through the bandits in Lianguan County with great speed.

In fact, even if they didn't have the weapon advantage of the Minnie rifle, they would be able to make these bandits flee with only a smoothbore musket.

Even if they are all new recruits, the vast majority of them have never fired a gun in actual combat.

But they are a regular army, and they are outnumbered.

In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Ziran led the army to suppress the bandits, which were all lions fighting rabbits, and when he surrounded and suppressed a gang of bandits with less than 100 people in Xinmu Town, he took more than 2,000 people directly to the city in a frenzy.

Infantry, artillery, cavalry, baggage, and even sappers and medical soldiers were all brought.

As soon as they entered Xinmu Town, they sent various troops to block all communication arteries, and the main force attacked directly.

When they reached the hill where the bandits were hiding, they did not rush to attack, but first blocked the entire hill before sending troops to attack.

When the attack was launched, it was not in a formation like the traditional troops, stupidly advancing densely along the mountain roads, but scattered and climbed the mountain directly.

With the infantry squad as the core, a large net was formed to advance layer by layer.

In the end, it was almost a pot of bandits that were left in the pot by casting nets and catching fish.

The most important thing is that the troops have been tempered, and at the same time, it has also confirmed that the light infantry tactics developed by Wu Guanlin are still useful in dealing with special enemies under some special conditions under the current conditions.

At the same time, this battle also made Lin Ziran once again have an urgent desire to get the rear-loading rifle out.

After returning from Xinmu Town, Lin Ziran did not personally take charge of the remaining bandits, but assigned his troops to be responsible for the banditry in several areas, so that they could completely eliminate the bandits within half a month.

At the very least, there can be no more large-scale organized bandit gangs in Lianguan County.

Lianguan County is a mountainous area in Luo'an County and even in the entire Nanhai Prefecture, not to mention that 70% of the area in Lianguan County is mountainous and hilly, and this place is the northeast corner of Luo'an County, with Guang'an County to the north and Ningmei County to the east.

This gave many bandits a natural hiding place, so much so that dozens of bandits gathered in a small Lianguan county.

There are a lot of bandits, but they are nothing in front of an army of tens of thousands.

In the past, bandits were rampant in Lianguan County, mainly because the regular army was too lazy to take care of them, especially the regular army of Luo'an in Lianguan County at that time, the number was not large, most of them were concentrated in the northern defense line, and there were not many regular troops stationed in the rear even in places like Lianguan County.

As for the suppression of bandits, that is the business of the local militias, and the regular army generally does not care.

Now that Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade wants to train in battle, it is naturally impossible to resist.

If they can resist, they will not be bandits, but will become officers and soldiers like Lin Ziran......

After Lin Ziran no longer handled the matter of the bandits, he also focused on the rear-loading rifle.

A few days later, after receiving the summons, Boss Wang, the director of Qingshan Machinery Factory, came to the military camp in Sanyang Town with seven or eight technical backbones under his hands.

"Boss Wang, I haven't seen you for more than a month, but your demeanor is still the same!" Lin Ziran laughed.

Boss Wang touched his June round belly: "It's all thanks to the blessings of adults, so that you can eat and sleep well!" ”

Boss Wang has been very chic in recent months, although he has not been the boss since he bought the entire ironware workshop and sold it to Lin Ziran to establish Tsingshan Machinery Factory, but he accepted Lin Ziran's employment and became the director of Tsingshan Machinery Factory.

At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but with the gradual expansion of Aoyama Machinery Factory, he became more and more satisfied.

Recently, Boss Wang has had a very good life, his stomach has changed from three months to six months, and others often see him giving good food and fun to the neighbor's children.

It can be seen that his recent little life is indeed good.
