"What was the result of the exercise?" As soon as Yang Duanhe got off the train and took a carriage to the troop station, he asked Ma You, the chief of staff of the Eighth Rapid Cavalry Division, who had come to greet him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not good. Very bad. Ma You shook his head in the car and said.

"Hmm. I think this is also the result, can you tell me more about what happened in the situation? Yang Duanhe asked.

"There are a lot of troop situations, for example, after a rapid advance, in terms of speed, we can guarantee it, but the strength, especially the number of troops that arrive, is not enough. Many of the formations of the troops have been disrupted. For example, of the three regiments that our division was supposed to arrive, the headquarters of one regiment did not arrive, and after the troops arrived, they were in a hurry and could not form combat effectiveness, and they were looking for their own headquarters for a long time, but what they did not expect was that such a thing would happen to us. Ma You said helplessly.

"Hmm. Anything else? Yang Duanhe then asked.

"There are still many situations, the recruits have very little combat experience, there are few veterans, and it is very troublesome to command. In addition, the firepower of the cavalry is a little weak, and in terms of specific tactics, they lack enough weapons to build publicly, for example, we should have artillery units, but now, there are none. There is still no recipe, we were originally assigned an artillery battalion directly under the division, but now, because of the lack of artillery, there is none. Ma You said.

"I see." Yang Duanhe nodded.

"In the actual exercise, this problem was very serious, our cavalry attacked directly at the infantry position, and as a result, it was difficult to overcome with heavy casualties, and they only had the cavalry rifles used by the cavalry. It's okay if the terrain can be expanded, but if the terrain can't be expanded, you can't do that at all. In terms of the use of cavalry, I think, for the time being, the cavalry is not very suitable for the tactical action of holding on and attacking the opponent's camp, they should mainly attack and harass, these Hun cavalry, they are all doing this, mountain combat troops composed of mountain people, they have a strong infantry combat character, they can also ride horses, some of them have good riding skills, but we need some to rely on, therefore, I think, we can spread them out, enough for some solid support points, and then our cavalry scatters, I personally think, On the battlefield in the future, we will be able to effectively intercept the retreat of the Goguryeo people. At the very least, we can harass their team. Ma You said.

"That's a good point, but I think before you do that, you should first solve the problem among you." Yang Duanhe said.

"I don't know, what is the problem that the chief is talking about?" Ma Yu asked puzzled.

"Why is your system not sound after rapid advancement?" Yang Duanhe said.

"For all else, you don't have enough firepower, you can equip yourself with some other weapons to increase your firepower, and we can also improve your mobility in other ways. However, what I want to know is, why is it that after you are moving quickly, the establishment is not sound? Yang Duanhe asked.

"This." Ma You couldn't say.

"You know, if you reach the battlefield in Liaodong, the speed of your rapid advance is not two hundred miles. It is possible that it was advanced for hundreds of miles in a row. Of course. It's going to be in a few days, but the intensity of the advance will be even stronger than what happened during the exercise. Do you want the General Staff to slow down your advance and keep your organization intact? Yang Duanhe asked.

"This. Sir. This problem is difficult to solve, these units are newly formed, and they will not be able to accomplish such a task in a short time. Ma You said.

"What I want is to solve this problem, not to let you shirk such a responsibility, the idle Qin State is actively waging a war, is it just because your troops are not comprehensive enough, let the war stop?" Yang Duanhe asked with some annoyance.

"This." Ma Yu had nothing to say.

"The crux of the matter now is to solve the problem of the establishment." Yang Duanhe said.

"When I came, I heard something like this." Yang Duan and Tsushima said.

"Sir, please." Ma You said very politely.

"There is a lot of racism among your people?" Yang Duanhe looked at Ma You and asked.

"This. Unlikely. Ma You smiled unnaturally.

"It's not you, even the staff has such emotions, you are a front-line combat unit, there must be such a situation. Racial discrimination will seriously threaten the credibility of our officers. Yang Duanhe said.

"The commanding authority of the officer, when the time comes, the soldier will not obey the order." Yang Duanhe said solemnly.

"There are such things, and there are many of them, I have heard that the Qin officers do not obey the commands of high-ranking Xiongnu officers. This is very critical to the next step in solving the problem. Yang Duanhe said.

"Is there any good solution for this, sir?" Ma You asked.

"Yes. The solution is to adopt a chaotic battle group system. Yang Duanhe said.

"Because of the speed of advancement and the relationship between logistics and supply, the establishment must be complete, because our logistics supply has always done this." Yang Duanhe said. The logistical supply of the Qin army was provided according to the formation, how much, how much was provided, and not adjusted according to the actual situation. Yang Duanhe was already dissatisfied with this.

"However, your situation is very special, you are a cavalry unit that is deployed quickly, and because of the speed of your advance, it is difficult for you to complete the assembly and standby of your formation in a relatively short time. This is very inadequate for the combat effectiveness you have formed. Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes, sir." Ma You said.

"Therefore, I ask you, according to the troops that arrive, regardless of your number or number of personnel, to command the battle according to the situation at the time, the highest-ranking commander in the area, so that a large or small battle group will be formed. Your officers are to command according to such battle groups. Disrupt the formation, conduct operations. When all the battle groups have stabilized, your battle formation will slowly recover. However, you all have to remember your priorities. Everything is based on such tasks. You know? Yang Duanhe looked at Ma You and asked.

"Understood, sir." Ma You nodded.

"So, the key to all of this is rank. Without the authority of military ranks, it is difficult to command such a huge battle. Yang Duanhe said.

"Just like that." Ma You said worriedly.

"Will the officers of the Qin Army be dissatisfied?" Yang Duanhe said.
