Chapter 273: Athletic Warfare

The tactics of the Ming army were basically determined, with chariots advancing, bows and arrows being thrown, grenadiers exploding, broadswords slashing, and spears stabbing.

In order to train elite troops, the rebels, thieves, bandits and bandits in various parts of the south are unlucky, Li Chengliang sent the Ming army to encircle and suppress again and again, a group of several hundred anti-thieves fled into the mountains, and there will be more than ten times more Ming troops into the mountains to pursue.

Only by constantly honing in battle can it be called an elite soldier, and a recruit who has not seen much blood is likely to be intimidated when he sees a bloody and cruel battlefield for the first time.

At present, there are about 40,000 recruits under the command of Li Chengliang who have been in the army for less than half a year in the army of 500,000, which is a very small proportion, and Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen also have about 40,000 recruits under their command.

If Li Chengliang's 500,000 army is against Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen's 400,000 army, then Li Chengliang's army can easily win.

In the past two years, the Ming army has been moving back and forth, and the KPA has also changed with the movement of the Ming army, and the deployment of KPA troops has stabilized.

The Third Group Army led by He Yan faced the Tang Qi Division of the Ming Army in Guangxi, and He Yan's Department had six integrated divisions of nearly 50,000 horses, and the Tang Qi Division had nearly 140,000 troops.

The Second Group Army led by Yan Han faced the Ming Army Zheng Yuewen Department in Fujian, and the Yan Han Department also had six integrated divisions of nearly 50,000 horses, and Zheng Yuewen's troops exceeded 140,000.

The First Group Army led by Xiong Jian faced the Ming Army's Li Zhengmao Division in Huguang, Xiong Jian's Division also had six integrated divisions of nearly 50,000 horses, and Li Zhengmao's troops were as many as 130,000.

Wang Shengrong led most of the First Group Army against Li Chengliang, the main force of the Ming army in Jiangxi, Wang Shengrong had 22 integrated divisions with as many as 180,000 horses, and Li Chengliang's troops were as high as 500,000.

As soon as the New Year passed, the People's Army began to assemble, and Li Chengliang was very surprised to learn of this situation.

There are a large number of KPA agents in the Ming army, and the KPA knows the Ming army well, and it is more difficult for the Ming army spies to integrate into the rule of the KPA, but the Ming army can also roughly determine the strength of the KPA.

Li Chengliang knew very well that the People's Army had deployed more than 300,000 troops in the border area, while his own army was one million, and the difference in strength between the two sides was several times, and the People's Army seemed to want to take the initiative to attack the Ming army.

After being surprised, Li Chengliang smiled, and he gave a definition of the People's Army in his mind: arrogance.

Li Chengliang is more familiar with the history of the People's Army from raising the flag to the present, and the People's Army has never been defeated in a battle with the Ming Army, which is probably the reason why the People's Army is so proud that it wants to take the initiative to attack the million-strong Ming Army with 30 or so men.

The People's Army takes the initiative to attack, if the People's Army holds the city, it will be a big / trouble for the Ming Army, the People's Army is condescending when defending the city, the Ming Army's chariot is not high, the People's Army can easily hit the Ming Army behind the chariot with a musket, in order to occupy a city held by the People's Army, the Ming Army will definitely have to pay a heavy price.

Now that the KPA is so arrogant that it abandons defense and takes the initiative to attack, Li Chengliang seems to have imagined that his own army will defeat the KPA in a battle with chariot tactics.

Knowing that Song Yingchang and Mei Yousong led the Ming army to fight against the People's Army three times, each time the Ming Army had an advantage in strength, but it was not much more than the People's Army, at least not to the point of doubling, Li Chengliang did not believe that the People's Army was invincible, but it was grenades and muskets that gave the People's Army some advantages.

The strength of the Ming army is three times that of the People's Army, the Ming Army has grenades and artillery, and the Ming Army can also use chariots to resist the muskets of the People's Army.

Li Chengliang thought about it, and did not think that the People's Army could stop the Ming Army under the condition of giving up holding the city, and then Li Chengliang convened the generals of the Ming Army to discuss the People's Army, and the thoughts of the Ming Army generals were similar to Li Chengliang, thinking that the People's Army was arrogant and arrogant, and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated!

Somewhat worried about scaring the People's Army back to defend the city, Li Chengliang ordered the Ming army to assemble slowly, and when the People's Army came, the Ming army had just completed the assembly and directly fought a decisive battle with the People's Army.

The Ming army is discussing how to deal with the People's Army, and the People's Army is also discussing how to deal with the Ming Army.

At the headquarters of the First Group Army of the People's Army, Wang Shengrong convened a meeting of 22 division commanders under his command, and the regional responsible persons of the Military Intelligence Department were also present.

The biggest advantage of the Ming army is that there are many troops, and the advantage of the People's Army is the musket, but the Ming army builds a large number of chariots, hoping to use the chariot to resist the lead bullets fired by the musket of the People's Army, if it is on a frontal battlefield, this is indeed a very good tactic, but the People's Army understands this very well and will not let the Ming army get its wish.

In addition to the muskets, the KPA had many advantages, but the advantages were not as great as those of the muskets, and one of the advantages was the rapid march.

The People's Army has platoon training, weight-bearing training, rapid marching training, and so on, and on the battlefield, one escapes and one chases, and the People's Army can catch up with the Ming Army, but it is difficult for the Ming Army to catch up with the People's Army.

The advantage of the rapid march allowed the KPA to engage in movement warfare, and movement warfare was able to perfectly crack the chariot tactics of the Ming army.

In order to reach the lead bullet of the People's Army, the chariot built by the Ming army must be very heavy, and the chariot on the battlefield moves relatively slowly, and the People's Army marches quickly, which can go around to the flank of the Ming army without a chariot, and can also attract the Ming army to abandon the chariot and pursue the People's Army, as long as the Ming army has no chariot, the People's Army can use the musket to educate the Ming army to be a man.

During the meeting, Wang Shengrong and a group of division commanders formulated several plans, which were all about a reorganized division or several reorganized divisions moving freely from the large army, either attracting the attention of the Ming army and attracting the Ming army to pursue, or hiding to give the Ming army a blow from the side.

After the plan for the movement war was decided, the meeting was not yet over, and Wang Shengrong wanted to determine how the agents of the Military Intelligence Department who had infiltrated the Ming army should cooperate with the People's Army.

The war between the People's Army and the Ming Army is not a positional war, slowly depleting the forces of both sides, and when it comes to the battlefield, it is more likely that the opponent will be defeated in a battle, and the battle will be resolved quickly.

The MI originally planned for the agents to lead the Ming soldiers who were interested in the People's Army to riot and then flee from the Ming Army one night, but if this plan was implemented, it was likely that the Ming Army would retreat and temporarily abandon the decisive battle with the People's Army.

The new plan was that the agents could not leave the Ming army before the war, and the agents could only stay in the Ming army, and when the battle began, the agents would lead the Ming soldiers who were committed to the People's Army to revolt, or create some chaos within the Ming army.

Carrying out the new plan, the agents who infiltrated the Ming army may be injured by mistake, but for the victory of the war, in order to make the poor people in the world live a good life, the agents are willing to continue to stay in the Ming army at the risk of being injured by mistake.
