Chapter 102: This Wu Guanlin has a big heart

Lin Ziran sat on the recliner on the balcony and looked at the tactical manuscript sent by Wu Guanlin.

The manuscript is very thick and the writing is very detailed, not only about how to unfold the formation when the battle is due, but also about the many adjustments made to the battle formation.

Many of the adjustments may seem inconsequential, such as how the officers should give orders when the formation is unfolded, who should carry out the orders, whether they should shout directly or through the drumbeat, and how the rhythm of the drum should be beaten.

In Lin Ziran's view, this tactical report is not a tactic at all.

It's more about how to build an army with mini rifles.

And this is beyond Lin Ziran's expectations, at the beginning, Lin Ziran was only the tactics that Wu Guanlin perfected in the past, but he didn't expect that he was perfect in all aspects.

Let's not talk about whether the above is true or not, whether the tactics are good or not, but just holding such a manuscript, even if it is just done step by step, it can be generally organized into an army.

I just don't know if I can fight or not.

This Wu Guanlin has a big heart!

Lin Ziran put down the manuscript, picked up the teacup on the side of the recliner, and took a sip but didn't continue to read it.

Wu Guanlin mentioned too many things in the manuscript, although many things are small changes, but if they are all done, then it is almost equivalent to overthrowing the training method.

It can even be said that it completely negates the Luo Anjun training drill!

Now Lin Ziran has made many changes when he is training the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, for example, the weapon used is also a Mini rifle, and the establishment is also different, but it is still the same set of Luo Anjun in his bones, and his daily training is completely based on the Luo An Army's training and drill code.

I dare not say whether it is suitable for the current Qingshan Patrol Battalion, but at least it will not make too many forks in the army, and the big deal is to use the Mini rifle as a smoothbore gun.

However, according to Wu Guanlin's training method, although Wu Guanlin swore that he could maximize the power of the Mini rifle, he knew what it would be like in the end.

It's an adventure!

Whether to take this adventure, Lin Ziran was also a little hesitant.

After all, there is not much time left for him now, and he needs to make the Qingshan Patrol Battalion form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so that he can deal with the next many troubles.

For example, Li County, who has been watching the interests of kerosene, and Luo Hai'an, who is also eyeing kerosene, if these can still make Lin Ziran not care too much.

Then the battle of Chongguang City on the side is enough to make Lin Ziran pay attention to it, and now the two sides on the side of Chongguang City are fighting fiercely, and the outcome is unpredictable, which will also lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.

For example, if the third division has suffered too much loss, what if he wants to transfer his Qingshan Patrol Battalion to be cannon fodder in the future?

Lin Ziran didn't think that the Qingshan Patrol Battalion under his command would last long in that kind of tragic battlefield.

For example, if the Third Division is defeated and finally counterattacked by the Guang'an Army and goes south, I am afraid that Qingshan Town will become the front line, and then I don't expect to be able to engage in kerosene business safely and steadily and then steadily expand the army and train troops.

For example, if the Third Division conquers Chongguangcheng and causes the entire Guang'an Army to collapse, after the Luo'an Army wins the war, will Cheng Lingfeng, the county guard, have other actions, such as clearing all kinds of chaotic local armed forces in the territory, so as to integrate the two counties and strive to dominate Nanzhou.

Many of the above possibilities exist, and each of them is not friendly to Lin Ziran.

If he is just the leader of an ordinary militia group, it will be a big deal to be soft, and no matter how bad the situation is, he will be able to be an official.

But Lin Ziran is not an ordinary militia leader, he has his own ambitions, and many options are not optional for him.

The current situation is so complicated, Lin Ziran urgently needs to make the thousands of troops in his hands form a combat effectiveness, and then he can protect himself in the future turmoil.

Sudden changes are likely to affect the progress of training, which in turn leads to unforeseen risks.

With this concern, Lin Ziran and Wu Guanlin had a detailed discussion in the afternoon.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Guanlin was basically explaining to Lin Ziran, and Lin Ziran occasionally asked a few questions, but most of the time he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Wu Guanlin said in a lofty manner: "At first glance, this new tactic is similar to the original line tactics, but in fact the difference is very big, the original line tactics pay attention to the fire within 100 meters, especially the salvo within 30 meters and the subsequent bayonet fighting, but in the new tactics, more attention is paid to giving the enemy the greatest firepower in the combat distance of 200 to 300 meters. ”

"Strive to completely destroy the enemy's morale, crush the enemy's formation, and create favorable conditions for the subsequent close-range fighting, especially the bayonet fight, before the distance between the two sides is reduced to 100 meters!"

"However, it is more likely that the enemy's line troops will voluntarily collapse due to excessive casualties before entering the 100 meters!"

"I have calculated in detail that if the forces of both sides are equal and both use dense lines to form a frontal battle, our army will begin to cover the enemy with fire from a distance of about 400 meters, and the enemy's casualty rate may exceed 50 percent before it approaches 100 meters!"

"And those who can still launch an attack while withstanding 50 percent casualties are all the most elite troops, and there are not many such troops in the entire Daheng."

"At the same time, we can also adopt a gradual retreat shooting mode, which can effectively extend the time for the enemy to approach within 100 meters, so that our army can shoot more rounds!"

"That's why the lowly position emphasizes keeping the troops at arm's length!"

Hearing this, Lin Ziran said: "What if the enemy's infantry does not take the initiative to attack, but uses artillery units to launch artillery bombardments on our army's dense formations?" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "In this case, it is necessary to enter the battlefield in a column or spread out in formation to avoid the enemy's artillery bombardment!" ”

Wu Guanlin continued: "My lord, look at this page, before the enemy's infantry enters the effective range of our army, in order to reduce the casualties caused by the enemy's long-distance artillery bombardment, we can quickly enter the battlefield in columns, and then turn into two horizontal columns to fire on the enemy's infantry!" ”

"At the same time, we can also make the formation more loose and enter the battlefield, and then adjust to a dense formation after arriving at the predetermined battlefield!"

"However, I think that the best way is to have enough artillery fire to suppress the opponent's artillery, or use cavalry to threaten the opponent's artillery!"

"Even in extreme cases, we can quickly approach with light infantry in skirmisher formations and storm the enemy's artillery positions!"

Wu Guanlin's words did not stop, but continued, but the follow-up was the recruit light infantry.

And this new type of light infantry made Lin Ziran very interested!
