Chapter 386: Battle Cloud 5
On the Huanghuai Plain, a long procession of fish and fish in the middle of the road, distinctive weapons and equipment, and a long queue of carriages and horses full of equipment, indicating their status as one of the new army.
As the last unit of the New Army to appear on the battlefield, the Left Forward of the New Army was burdened with a certain heavy mission and responsibility and threw himself into the battlefield of the Northern Expedition
Because, as the important weapon of the country, the Shenji Army, in the Northern Expedition battlefield, is really not very satisfactory, or a little unsatisfactory, and is criticized by the front-line commanders.
Especially in comparison with the left wing of the new army, which is dominated by another weapon, and the various active and aggressive tables on the battlefield.
The old god soldiers who insist on holding on to the tradition and are accustomed to fighting in the heavy protection of the infantry team are naturally very dull and difficult to return.
With the change in the attitude of the superintendent in the base camp, the high-level leaders of the Shenji Army in the rear also felt a certain pressure and sense of crisis, although they still did not believe that such a new firearms unit that had suddenly emerged could shake the historical status of the Shenji Army, but it was also necessary to introspect and hold accountable internally.
At the very least, there was a chance to bring this new firearm combat method into the command at the beginning, but it was only because of the selfishness of some people and the involvement of the interests behind it that in the end it turned into a negative contrast for the Shenji Army on the battlefield.
Therefore, as the origin and hidden elite of the Divine Machine Army, the left forward of the new army, who has been given countless expectations, naturally has to have corresponding responsibilities and fight for the old Divine Machine Army.
Even for this reason, he did not hesitate to support a large number of equipment and equipment from the active service sequence, and even took out a limited number of treasures at the bottom of the box, just to show a good performance and restore the confidence and attitude of the front and rear of the army.
Therefore, compared with the general optimism and relaxation of the officers and men below, the upper-level generals led by Tan Guochen, the left general of the New Army, were a little cautious and nervous.
You must know that as the military order under the base camp, the six new armies that have been put into the battlefield have their own circumstances:
The right flank of the first new army to fight was all horse troops, who were not good at attacking fortifications and were used as firefighting teams to plug leaks everywhere and were exhausted, although they were brilliant, they were also damaged and not easy to replenish;
The three divisions of the center, right and forward of the new army, which came later, were easy to play a number of names, and after winning the battle all the way, they inexplicably crashed into the mud pit of Bianzhou, causing the slaughter of the city, and almost wiped out the whole army under the siege of the swarming northern army;
Only the fourth general of the rear of the new army, who has always been in order, has been together with the seventh general of the left wing of the new army who is at the bottom, but he has been attacking the city and plundering the land all the way, and even captured the prefectures of Hao, Song, and Chen, and fought all the way to the periphery of Xuzhou, which made the Northern Dynasty also shake.
In a series of wars such as the Jibei Raider, the Battle of Weishan Lake, and the Battle of Yuncheng in support and Gongwei Frontier Army, it was even more eye-catching, and it had to be impressive, and it was a bit of a latecomer.
Therefore, as the last team in the reserve order of the base camp, the left forward of the new army can't help but sit still, at least it can't continue to sit outside the battlefield.
It's just that, in addition to a large number of Jiangnan recruits who have supplemented the frontier, there is another army with a strong lineup.
This army is so prestigious that the left wing of the new army has to be relegated to a subordinate position, knowing that their banner has not set foot in the north for hundreds of years.
Standing in front of several fallen corpses,
Fang La held the knife with one hand and leaned over, and spit out a mouthful of blood foam, only to feel that the bruising in his chest was much soothed, and he was teased with an iron rod by a northern soldier, and the iron piece of his chest protection and the armor piece on the side were dented.
But I was a little glad and a little sighing, this time I was attacked, and I almost capsized in the gutter.
If he hadn't come out in advance and asked for more than a dozen fire and thunder bombs for emergency, I was afraid that most of the brothers and the baggage under his command would really be damaged here.
The individual combat power of these northern soldiers who attacked them is not surprising, but it is quite cunning and difficult to fight in real time, and they actually play the trick of attacking the east and west, plus the trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements.
If it weren't for the people who stayed behind, they took advantage of the fire and lit fire and thunder bombs, threw them out in one go, blew them up and scattered those enemy soldiers who piled up on the edge of the camp in one go, and took the opportunity to counterattack for a while, so that Kankan could hold the camp and the baggage.
Dozens of three-eyed guns and short-handed cannons were unexpectedly shot out within a dozen steps, and the opponent suddenly turned over and stagnated.
Then, as soon as the array of firearms and weapons was formed, those enemy troops could no longer rush their positions, and the tide of victory and defeat gradually reversed.
These northern soldiers who took advantage of the rain to raid were obviously good at close-range assault killing, but they lacked strength and patience, and after a long battle, there were all kinds of anxiety and panic, and then Fang La saw an opportunity, scattered the formation and fought back, and the momentum was gone.
It's a pity that in the end, a small number of people who ran the lead, mainly the small group of Northern Dynasty cavalry who swept the formation, were unable to devote their full strength to the side, and when they were defeated, they couldn't catch up with them with just two legs, but they were afraid.
The leading horseman's archery skills are also very powerful, even the rain did not block his eagle shooting skills, almost the arrows were missed, and Fang Bao, as the standard-bearer, was almost shot to death by him.
If it weren't for the standard-bearer, an extra piece of round iron heart guard was added to the chest to slide the arrow away, but I am afraid that it would not be as simple as penetrating the ribs.
However, for Fang La, who needs a headache on how to write the post-war summary, he has vague feelings and intuition.
The reversal of defeat in this encounter was not so much due to his own response as a team officer, but more to the credit of daily discipline and discipline training, although the various situations were detailed and complicated, and the specific actions and mannerisms of the soldiers made people feel a little dull and dogmatic.
However, for ordinary officers and men, after getting accustomed to these things, they will have all kinds of natural reactions to the enemy, and the generals at all levels who lead the team are quite trouble-free and worry-free, and they only need to make slight adjustments to the general goals and specific measures of responding to the enemy.
I am afraid that this is also the essence and essence of this new-style army and tactics.
Of course, due to some limitations of origin and vision, he failed to realize something deeper,
Since the systematic training of organization and discipline has further reduced the dependence and expectations of non-commissioned officers on officers, it also means that the traditional army has been centered on the subordinates and pro-army, and all kinds of personal dependence, personal influence and control have been further weakened in disguise.
This was also the source of Fang La's initial feeling of disobedience and discord, but he obviously had no chance to turn back
Also in, among the marching brigades
After the routine war briefing,
"Marshal Luo, I feel ...... under the mark"
Zhang Xian, who had just been rotated from the previous sequence, was still covered in mud and continued to me.
"The Northern Army that our troops are engaged in seems to have weakened."
"What kind of love is it, let's talk about it, let's see ......"
I asked, a little surprised
"Although the flag and equipment are still the same number"
He organized the language, and Fang continued to me
"But when it comes to fighting, it makes people feel a lot weaker......"
According to him,
The northern soldiers who were originally engaged in the battles of our army one after another still have some tenacity and tenacious fighting spirit, and even if they are broken up and divided for a while, they will still try to gather together and continue to make the efforts of stubborn resistance outside the range of fire.
It is necessary to kill and injure the generals in its leadership to a certain percentage, or directly throw them into the artillery truck to bombard, before it will completely collapse.
However, under the banner of the Northern Army, which has been encountered by the troops that have gone out to defend the enemy, although there is still some blood and courage, and there is no lack of fighting spirit, the military quality in terms of organization and cooperation is obviously much worse.
As long as the sequence is broken up or disrupted, it is easy to shake and scatter in various ways, and release ducks in various ways. They even retreated one after another when they heard the blow, and rushed to seize the road because of the sound of the cannons.
Even if you hide in the fortress and fortress, once you are bombarded by artillery regiments and grenadiers to open enough gaps, you will inevitably be demoralized, and all kinds of abandonment and flight.
It seems that because he has been defeated and scattered in front of firearms many times, he has been defeated a lot, and his will and courage have been broken, and he has become a little unbearable.
On the contrary, after the war, in order to pursue and capture these fleeing northern soldiers, the time and effort spent on succession were much more than the previous attack and battle process combined.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought,
Is it because I ate too much in the defeated battle, and I can't keep up with the training and organization?
What this means, I seem to have a sense of it, but I can't grasp it.
