The requirements for the command system are completely different from those of the straggler formation and the line formation.

When the line formation was adopted, the deputy platoon commander and platoon commander of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion could not actually play any commanding role.

The line formation in the Qingshan Patrol Camp is modeled after the regular army of the Luo'an Army, and it is also the line formation commonly used in the towns of the Daheng domains.

In the troops of the various feudal towns of Daheng, there is basically no two-level establishment of platoon and squad, and there are no platoon commanders, squad leaders and the like.

According to the number of soldiers, each unit is organized into a company with a minimum of 890 men and a large number of 145 people, with a company commander, a deputy company commander, and an adjutant.

All three or four of them belonged to the military officers.

In wartime, the company commander walked in a separate column at the front of the queue, behind him were two or three columns of soldiers, and behind the soldiers were a separate column consisting of a deputy company commander, an adjutant, a second adjutant, and two drummers.

In this way, a standard infantry line formation was formed.

The training drill used by the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is also the training drill of the Luo An Army, if the line formation is adopted, the formation is very close like the Luo An Army and even the armies of other feudal towns of the Daheng Dynasty.

Under this formation, the Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion carried out frontal combat, and each company lined up in turn, and the company commander was in the front alone, followed by three columns of soldiers, and the deputy platoon commander and the soldiers of each platoon lined up together.

Behind the three columns, there are deputy company commanders, drummers, and three platoon commanders.

From the line formation of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, it can be seen that the squad leader is redundant, and the deputy platoon commander is also redundant, no different from ordinary soldiers.

As for the platoon commander, he plays the role of adjutant, second adjutant, and third adjutant, not the platoon commander.

This is also why when Lin Ziran formulated the military title, only the platoon commander was a corporal officer, but the deputy platoon commander was only a senior first-class soldier.

However, if you want to play the straggler formation, because the formation is scattered, the left and right front and rear distances are relatively large, and it is almost impossible for the company commander to directly command so many people.

Therefore, it has become necessary to set up two levels of platoon and squad, and the company commander forms a three-level command system through the command of the platoon commander and the platoon commander commands the squad leader, so as to maintain unified operations in a scattered formation.

But when he was conducting retreat training in the past few days, Lin Ziran still found that even if he had a squad leader, it was difficult to specifically command every soldier to follow the tactical action.

For this reason, Lin Ziran simply added a deputy squad leader, and like the squad leader, he was also served by a senior and well-behaved soldier.

It's just a temporary deputy squad leader, and it's unknown how much command the squad leader can share.

After two days of emergency adaptation training, Jian Liangzhi's herald soldiers once again arrived in Fenglan Town, informing them that the Guang'an rebels were about to enter the area north of Fenglan Town, and ordering Lin Ziran to immediately lead his troops to intercept the operation and delay the march of the Guang'an rebels.

Not long after receiving the order, the scouts sent by Lin Ziran before also reported the traces of the Guang'an rebels heading south

"The total strength of the Guang'an rebels in the south is about five hundred, mainly infantry, with a small number of cavalry and artillery, and it is currently about eight kilometers away from us!"

After learning the news, Lin Ziran immediately gathered the troops to prepare for departure, and reported the situation to Wu Dajiang, Lu Sanzhen, Luo Mazi and several other main subordinates before leaving.

"Their speed is very fast, according to their speed, if we don't intercept it, they will be able to cross Fenglan Town today!"

"We must, march quickly, organize several blockades to delay their march!"

Although he already knew two days ago that the Guang'an rebels might be coming towards them, Lin Ziran could still see that these few under his hands were a little nervous.

Especially Luo Mazi's face is not very good-looking!

But even if it was nervous, the troops still set off!

Lin Ziran directly led the troops to set off, and once again ordered the scout to carefully inquire about the news.

Two hours later, they came to a hill about six kilometers away from Fenglan Town, this nameless hill was a preset battlefield selected by Lin Ziran.

Judging from the marching route of the Guang'an rebels, it is very likely that they will pass through here, even if they don't go from here, then Lin Ziran will be able to lead his troops to the east or west in time, and then he will also be able to stop them.

Time passed bit by bit, and the scouts kept sending back news, and the Guang'an rebels did not suddenly change their route, but came directly towards them.

At this time, they were already a little more than two kilometers away, and if the terrain here was a little better, they could even see the enemy.

Unfortunately, this place is a rolling hill, and there is no enemy to be seen.

At 3:20 p.m., Lin Ziran finally saw the Guang'an rebels, at this time, these Guang'an rebels were actually only five or six hundred meters away from them, and these Guang'an rebels were advancing along the hilly path, because the road was relatively narrow, so the queue was relatively long.

When Lin Ziran saw the enemy appear, he immediately ordered: "It's all hidden, don't show your head, don't shoot without the official's order!" ”

But after a few minutes, Lin Ziran's brows were furrowed, because he found that the other party's scattered scout riders were constantly approaching, and according to the search direction of the other party's scouts, there was no way for his side to evade their detection.

I'm afraid this ambush is going to fail!

After the opponent's cavalry approached two or three hundred meters, Lin Ziran knew that the ambush was not possible, so he could only fight a wave first to see the situation.

Immediately, the herald said: "The artillery is ready to fire!" ”

"The infantry aimed at their cavalry and opened fire as soon as the shelling was launched!!"

At this time, the opponent's infantry forward queue was actually four or five hundred meters, but the opponent's cavalry was already close to only more than two hundred meters, and they couldn't wait any longer, and if they waited any longer, the cavalry of the other side would find themselves.

After the artillery in the rear was ready, Lin Ziran drew his command knife and said, "Fire!" ”

With Lin Ziran's order, the four five-pound field guns in the rear suddenly opened fire, and the continuous sound of artillery sounded, accompanied by the sound of cannons, the shells flew across the sky and then fell next to the infantry vanguard queue of the Guang'an rebels four or five hundred meters away!

Lin Ziran saw with his own eyes that after the four shells flew out, they landed next to the enemy's queue, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart!

The level of this artillery is still too scummy, and at such a close distance, it still can't hit.

It seems that he still has to find a way to invite a few artillerymen from outside to come back to practice this artillery, otherwise the few three-legged cat kung fu gunners under his own hands will really waste those five-pound field guns.
