In fact, the martial arts performance will end here, but Wang Xuance still took everyone forward to observe it in person.

To be exact, I went up to check the results of the exercise.

And the result was naturally to scare everyone a lot, the wooden planks that were originally intact were already densely packed with a lot of holes at the moment.

The holes are not big, the smaller ones can fit one finger, and the larger ones can fit two or three fingers.

But one doesn't matter, what if it's a bunch?

At this time, everyone also understood the real horror of the forbidden army, that is, it could attack from a distance.

Although archers can also do this, their intuition tells Wang that this forbidden army is not as simple as it seems on his surface.

dismissed the observation group, let them continue to discuss tactics, and ordered people to arrange the camp of the forbidden army, and finally called Liu Li aside alone.

"Lieutenant Colonel Liu's troops should be more than what they showed just now, right?" Wang Xuance forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and forced himself to calm down and asked.

"General, there are indeed some things that have not been shown in the previous military exercises, but it is not that the last general deliberately hid it, but because the last general's battalion is not a complete combat establishment." Liu Li knew the reason why Wang Xuance asked this, and deliberately separated the others to ask again, Liu Li naturally understood the meaning, so he didn't continue to hide it.

Wang Xuance nodded, although the thousand-person team can fight alone, the scope of the battle is very limited.

For example, when Tuyuhun was in Tuyuhun, an army of 1,000 people could only be used as a patrol emergency, and once a war occurred, the surrounding two thousand-man teams would quickly get closer, and the three teams would form an army of 3,000 people, which could be regarded as having the ability to fight alone.

And this is the reason for the current situation, not because of the Tang Army itself.

You can't let a thousand people fight five thousand, can you? Tang Jun is no matter how awesome he is, even if he can do it with one enemy and two for a while, but for a long time, it is still relatively easy to kill the master with random punches.

But thousands of people, to be precise, the establishment of the battalion of the forbidden army surprised Wang Xuance.

Although the Tang Army has been restructured, some basic things have not been completely changed, or only slightly changed.

For example, the army was abolished, the smallest establishment was changed to a group, a group of 11 people, an increase of one person than the original, and a team was set up, each team was five groups, and then the brigade was abolished, and a regiment was directly composed of four teams of 200 people, but with Wang Xuance returning from Chang'an, not only did the new military rank system have to be implemented in advance, but the establishment at all levels should also be changed to a certain extent, and the previous regiment was changed to a company, and the regimental captain was changed to a captain and company commander.

The five companies are one battalion, and the five battalions are one regiment, that is to say, after the reorganization, a regiment has 5,000 soldiers, plus the commander and other personnel, which is about 5,000 23 or so.

But before that, the establishment of the Tang Army was integrated according to the team.

Wang Xuance has just started here, but the forbidden army has already completed the adaptation, so he is also more curious, what are the benefits of this new establishment? Will it bring a certain amount of chaos to itself at this time?

"To be precise, the battalion is only a basic combat formation, and although it can fight alone, it is relatively restrictive. According to the establishment of the forbidden army, in fact, it is the final establishment of the general here in the future, and the smallest establishment with independent combat capability in the true sense is the regiment. Liu Li sorted out his thoughts and continued to explain: "When the forbidden army is fighting, the range that can be controlled is only two hundred meters, and at most it is only three hundred meters, which is not insurmountable for some powerful bows and crossbows, or for the enemy army that occupies an absolute geographical advantage.

If the enemy army is on high ground and the last general needs to attack, it will be more embarrassing at this time, and because of the equipment problems of the forbidden army, they cannot wear armor, which will only slow down their movement, which will bring worse consequences.

Originally, the solution to this problem was to let bomb trucks or rocket artillery go up to suppress them, but the problem was that whether it was a bomb truck or rocket artillery, they were too large, and it was really inconvenient for a battalion to carry them.

Therefore, in the establishment of the forbidden army, although a regiment is also five battalions, to be precise, it should be four plus one battalion.

Four battalions with the same configuration as the general, an artillery battalion, three bomber companies, and one rocket artillery company, such a configuration can quickly provide fire support no matter what kind of problems are encountered. ”

"Equipping artillery directly to the regiment?" Wang Xuance was stunned, and secretly said What kind of operation is this?

The current artillery is independent artillery, specially selected people are responsible for the operation, and then take turns to send people forward to protect, when the army moves, they follow behind, and when it is necessary to attack, they are ready to support.

And once the artillery is moved, the movement is bound to be earth-shattering, but if the artillery is dispersed, although the firepower of a regiment can be enhanced, the problem is that the overall firepower is dispersed.

But when he thought of the particularity of the forbidden army's equipment, as well as the advantages and disadvantages were too obvious, Wang Xuance asked in a daze: "How many bomb throwers and rocket artillery are the artillery battalions equipped with?" ”

"Each company is equipped with ten bomb trucks, as well as five rocket launchers." Liu Li said.

"Although the overall firepower has not decreased much, how can it be solved if it needs to be bombed on a large scale after it is dispersed?" Wang Xuance felt as if he was a little confused.

Since the number of bomb trucks and rocket launchers has not increased or decreased, why should they be dismantled?

Dismantling has the advantage of dismantling, which can provide support to the troops at any time, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the firepower is weak, and the difficulty of protection increases.

Is it possible that when there is a problem, these artillery pieces should be combined and used in a unified manner? Doesn't that take time?

"General, for the operation of regimental units, such firepower is enough to use. Artillery is only responsible for clearing important targets, as well as providing fire suppression, as long as it reaches a distance of 300 meters, the rifle can kill the enemy, although it is impossible to ensure accurate hits, but if there are many enemies, it is no longer important whether they can hit accurately. If there are more people and more artillery support is needed, then you can also request fire support from the divisional artillery battalion. Liu Li was stunned, didn't he say this just now?

After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be true, so he continued to explain: "The five regiments are a division, and the general's side has not made a delicate division because of the urgency of time, but in the forbidden army, a more detailed division has already been made.

Each division has five regiments, which are the same as the regimental level, but there are some differences, such as four infantry regiments, plus a mixed divisional regiment.

The infantry regiment is the one just mentioned, and the composition of the divisional mixed regiment is more complicated, including an artillery battalion, two baggage battalions, a reconnaissance battalion and a police battalion. Let's not talk about the last two, the general is already very clear.

This artillery battalion is different from the regimental artillery, because the regimental artillery battalion needs to be responsible for its own materials and security work, so only one group of people can operate bomb throwers or rocket artillery, one group is responsible for ensuring supplies and safety, and the other group is a pure guard, responsible for protecting the safety of the two artillery squads of the team.

However, there is no need to do this in the divisional artillery battalion, the two baggage battalions will be responsible for their material supply, and at the same time responsible for temporarily protecting their safety, plus the divisional artillery battalion basically moves with the division headquarters, and the police battalion will also allocate a part of its forces to protect them.

Therefore, the firepower configuration of the divisional artillery battalion is terrifying, four companies are equipped with bomb throwers, one for each group, and one company is equipped with rocket artillery, also one for each group. In the event of an encounter with the enemy's main force, the divisional artillery battalion will support the regiments.

Therefore, according to the new code of conduct, those who really have the ability to go out to fight independently can only be undertaken by troops at or above the division level, that is, the previous army. ”

A battalion has four companies, a company has five squads, a squad has five bands, and a battalion has twenty bands and a hundred gangs.

In the normal distribution, a regiment has 30 bomb throwers and 5 rocket launchers, while an artillery battalion under a division has 75 bomb throwers and 25 rocket launchers.

If calculated in this way, a division is similar in number to the previous army, but the number of bombardiers and rocket artillery reaches a terrifying 159 and 45.

Such a firepower configuration is more than one-third more than the firepower in Wang Xuance's hands.

And what made Wang Xuance even more unbelievable was that their combat methods, coupled with so much firepower, plus the previous martial arts scene.

Wang Xuance could even imagine that if he had an army in his hand and faced a division of the forbidden army, it would be difficult to even get close.

Artillery's favorite is the phalanx, but the Forbidden Army's elastic battle array can solve this problem very well, and at the same time there is no need to worry about the enemy rushing in due to the dispersion of the troops, the accurate range of the musket is 200 meters, that is, if they want, they can do it to disperse a group of people within a range of 50 meters in length and width.

And even if a shell falls in the best position, it can only take away five or six people at most, and it is difficult to take away a large area with one shot as before.

And such a situation, even the Don army could not do it, because although they had artillery, they did not have guns, and they could not disperse their forces too much.

And Wang Xuance also understands very well that the forbidden army in front of him now is very strong, but it also has their weaknesses.

also understood the purpose of Li Yuanji's sending them, so he had to find a way to solve their weaknesses, and if necessary, let them play a greater role.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuance couldn't help but look forward to this forbidden army a little more: "I will transfer twenty bomb throwers and three rocket artillery to you to take charge of, make good use of the time before the expedition, I don't want to wait for you to be needed, there will be something difficult for me to do." ”
