2266 The pride of the Qin people
"Let's talk about it, what's going on with this exercise?" Bai Xi, chief of staff of the 7th Rapid Cavalry Division, said to the regimental commanders. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everyone nodded silently, because they knew that what they were doing was very bad.
"What? No problem? Bai Xi looked at everyone and said.
"Report sir." Newton was the first to stand up.
"There are many problems in our regiment, and after the rapid advancement of the troop establishment, the formation is not sound. The combat effectiveness is not strong. During the exercise, our cavalry faced fixed points of defense and attacked ineffectively. As a result, there was a big problem with the exercise. Newton stood up and said directly.
"Huh." Bai Xi just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
When the other regimental commanders saw Newton being the first to admit his mistake, they also stood up with some reluctance, and talked about their mistakes, but the mistakes were similar to Newton's. Similar.
"Our regiment, after a wave of advances, the formation was dispersed. They were all cavalry. There were some soldiers who ran everywhere, and there were some soldiers who followed their commanders, but they ran to the wrong team and went to other regiments. Not only these, but many more people are also in the wrong place. Li Yun, the head of the 33rd regiment, said helplessly.
"My soldiers, all like this, and some of the officers have run wrong. I think the next step is to train my officers well. Otherwise, the problem will be even bigger. Li Yun said.
"Anything else?" The division commander stood up at this time and asked everyone.
"Nope." Everyone shook their heads in reply.
"That's a lot of questions. But you have not yet realized the worst of the problem. Meng looked at everyone seriously and said.
"Let me tell you, after this exercise, we will go to the battlefield in Liaodong. If we go to war in such a situation, the possibility of us losing is very high. Meng said.
"We are cavalry, but the formation of the army is not very combative. This is a big problem. Meng said solemnly.
"Sir." What else did Li Yun want to say. But seeing his division commander looking at him seriously, he had nothing to say. There was no way, the newly formed combat units of the Qin army did show the combat effectiveness they should not have. This is very bad for them.
"I'm going to listen to your own reports on this battle. Write a detailed report, and I will summarize the reasons for the defeat in this operation in detail and systematically. I'm going to fix this before I go to war. Meng Liao shouted in annoyance.
"Yes. Sir. The crowd stood up and shouted loudly.
"Disbanded." Meng said with a wave of his hand. The crowd left.
"Sir, this time. It's hard to solve. Bai Xi walked over and said worriedly.
"It's not easy to solve, and it must be solved, you and I both know that this is going to be on the battlefield. If the problems that arise in the exercise are not solved, what kind of problems will we face in actual combat? Meng said.
"I'm well aware of that, but there are some problems that we can't solve." Bai Xi said.
"Tell me what you think." Meng said.
"My opinion is that there is a big problem with our national contradictions, and such an army, after all, is a problem between two races." Bai Xi said.
"During the progress of this exercise, our Qin commanders commanded those Hun cavalry indiscriminately, and there were many voices of scolding and insulting, and some high-level Xiongnu officers would also be opposed by the Qin army officers below. The chain of command is unusually chaotic. Bai Xi said.
"And such a thing?" Meng asked.
"Yes, I also overheard such a thing. Newton of the Thirty-fourth Regiment had such a thing. Lieutenant officer of the XXXIII Regiment. Li Li. It was the nephew of the regiment commander Li Yun, who relied on this relationship and did not listen to the orders of the commander. When Newton was attacking, he encountered this force and asked the other side to join his battle group, but the other side did not listen to the order. Not to attack at all. Moreover, there were serious doubts about Newton's orders, which posed a great threat to Newton's command. Many Hun soldiers were reluctant to follow such a commander. This is a big problem for the commander. Bai Xi continued.
There are more people in the army who know about this matter, mainly because the Hun soldiers looked down on Newton and thought that he was too tolerant of the Qin people. The worst thing is that among these Xiongnu soldiers recruited by the Qin army, there are also some Qin soldiers under the management, and these soldiers have great discrimination against Xiongnu soldiers and mountain soldiers, they think that these people are all defeated generals, look down on them, and look down on their role, this discrimination is widespread. Even some of the officers are like that. It's hard to avoid it.
"This thing. Do you need to report it to our commanders? Bai Xi looked at Meng and asked.
"This." Meng Liao also knew about this matter, the Qin army assigned many such officers, and the military cadets graduated twice a year, one in winter. Summer season. This led to a lot of officers in the Qin army, but few soldiers, and the new unit formed this time, the number of such officers was replenished here at once, and these officers were very arrogant, so naturally there was such discrimination. Add to that the Qin army's deep-rooted tradition of racial discrimination.
"Wait and see." Meng Liao said.
"Sir. I think this should be reported to the chief. Because this matter is serious. This has seriously affected our command, operations. Bai Xi said.
"Hmm." Meng nodded. He was a Qin officer. White breath is only from the point of view of operations, and in his opinion, such a thing should not happen in the army before the big war.
"When their report comes out, send a piece to the coalition command." Meng thought about it and said.
"Hmm." White Breath nodded.
On the train to the northern grasslands of the Qin Kingdom.
"The Hun soldiers in the north, according to reason, their combat effectiveness should be very strong." Yang Duanhe said.
"However, after all, they are new soldiers, and the establishment is new, and it is the Qin army that commands them. The question is not that arises in these areas. Yang Duanhe looked at the recent telegram in his hand and said. These telegrams were all about the Hun cavalry.
"This. Sir. I think the problem is still with us. Yang Ping said. He was an operational staff officer in the General Staff.
"On us?" Yang Duanhe asked.
"Yes, sir. We all have the shadow of racism in our bodies. It is inevitable that something like this will happen in our army. Yang Ping said.
"And such a thing?" Yang Duanhe asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Many, as long as the Qin officers have a sense of pride. Yang Ping said.
