794 prepares for a skirmish

The guerrilla regiments were an entirely voluntary armed force, and they were not paid. There was also no supply of weapons. Not even an army number. The Qin army would not have recognized the existence of such an armed force at all. Because it's entirely a personal act. Moreover, the guerrilla cavalry Qin army did not know of the existence of such an armed force at present.

But now, this guerrilla regiment has grown to a size of almost two thousand people. Among them were more than 1,200 infantrymen, all of whom were temporarily recruited stragglers, and they had no actual combat experience at all. Nor did it undergo any rigorous military training. Before they became soldiers, they were just civilians.

But the rest of the corps was experienced. They all have some military experience. Some of them have had twenty-year military careers. The reason why they were able to end up being soldiers. It was only because of the large-scale disarmament of the Qin army that it was not used as a soldier. Although they did not fight as soldiers, they still had some combat experience, and they would launch small-scale attacks on the Huns from time to time. These small-scale military offensives allowed them to accumulate combat experience.

And this combat experience is very valuable to them. Because experience takes a long time to build. Qin's constant foreign warfare allowed Qin to accumulate a large number of armed men. The employment of these armed men is actually very difficult to solve. Because they are accustomed to a military career, if they do not go through any training. Learn. Or if it's some adaptation, they're prone to messing up. "They are born to be soldiers." Wang Jian said at a meeting on military issues. The difficulty of the military problem lies in the special nature of the serviceman. Peaceful life is orderly. And military life is destructive. Therefore, in the construction of the country. There can be no too many destructive military teams. Otherwise, there will be problems with public order.

In order to effectively channel these soldiers. The state of Qin established a large number of security companies. In fact, it is to guide these soldiers with a purpose.

After these servicemen were discharged from active service. They become members of the security company. And the nature of their work is still military. Moreover, their wages and salaries have been significantly increased. At the same time, it also solves social problems. And another eight hundred people in the partisan regiment. All from these security guards. Or mercenaries.

They have their own social status. Some are also local police officers. Most of them have some savings. A small number of people own farms and ranches. It can be said that they have a certain social status. These positions allow them to avoid having to fight for money. That is, they fight the war purely out of their personal psychological will. That is, the Lord who is well fed and sustained.

These people joined the war and became real volunteers. And the patriotism of the locals stimulated them to join in.

"Tata." There was a rush of horses' hooves.

"Phew." The cavalry on a horse stopped.

"Colonel. There was a group of Qi patrols in front of us. There were about 50 people. The cavalry said.

"Well, continue to scout and see if there are any drum troops behind." An old man in his fifties said. The old man had an eagle emblem pinned to his collar. Usually in the Qin army. The one with the eagle logo signifies the rank of colonel.

Since the legion was an irregular army, they had close ties with the Qin army, and many of them had served in the Qin army and were very familiar with the overall operation of the Qin army. And it's familiar, it can't be more familiar.

"Yes, sir," he said, and the cavalry rode away.

"More than fifty people, we can wait and see." The colonel said.

"We don't know where the besieged Qin army is, according to our reconnaissance this morning. In the area, a Qi army of more than 500 people is stationed here, and the reason for their current stay is clear for the time being. The major on the side also served as a staff officer. A gold shield made of brass was pinned to his collar. This means that he is a major with the rank of major. The lieutenant colonel is white. The Qin army currently uses aluminum. Because aluminum is much more precious than brass.

"Their location is specifically in the upper reaches of this river, and the vicinity is relatively open. They simply built some fortifications there. It's not good for us offensively. The major said.

"Yes." The colonel looked at the map and nodded.

With the Qin guerrilla regiment moving south, the forward of the corps has already entered the middle area of the actual control of the Qi army and the Yan state, but the Qi army has not completely given up advancing in this area, on the contrary, they are still tentatively advancing from time to time. Like what. This force of 500 men was the force of their tentative attack.

"We currently have just over 300 people." The colonel said.

The guerrilla regiment sent 300 men to advance to fight the outpost. And those behind them, while advancing, taught the soldiers how to use guns and how to fight. Let them get in touch with the war as soon as possible.

"We are cavalry, and fast combat is our advantage, and of course, we can also sneak attack. The problem is that we don't have heavy guys. We can't sneak up on the well-fortified Qi camps, as long as some of them take up arms and shoot. Our cavalry will be finished. The colonel said.

In fact, this was true, as the rifle entered the era of smokeless gunpowder. Of course, this is only to the Qin army and some army organizations. The rifle has greatly improved in terms of range and power. These promotions were a nightmare for the cavalry. The speed of the cavalry was superior, but the appearance of machine guns, as well as the increased rate of fire at the foot, became a new nightmare for cavalry. But now in a field situation, there is nothing to replace the high-speed mobility of the cavalry for the time being. This put the cavalry in an extremely awkward position.

"So what do we do?" The Major asked.

"We can attack a team of fifty people. But we don't eat them. The colonel said.

"Don't eat them." The Major said with some incomprehension. "Yes, we don't eat them." The colonel said.

"On their way back, we're here to give them a look. And here, it is the only way for the camp to send troops to support. In this way, we set up an ambush here and hit the opponent with one measure, but we only hit the opponent once. Then we rode out of here. Then we attacked each other's camps. At the right time, of course. The colonel said.

"The right timing, the problem is, there are opponents' defenses in the camp. They built perfect fortifications, and that was a disaster for us. We go on the offensive. Isn't it a bit ・・・・・・・". The Major asked.

"The timing is very important, and we can enter the camp in another way, knowing how we attacked the Hun camp. How do we sneak up on the Qi army's camp now? Do you understand? "The Colonel's style of play is very simple. That is to give full play to the style of mobile combat of the Qin army. Take advantage of the Qin army's superiority in firepower. The Qin army did have a certain advantage in firepower. Their rifles were far larger in range, speed, and power than the Qi army, whose vanguard units were only equipped with trap rifles, and some of the recruits were still holding old-fashioned flintlock pistols. I don't know how the logistics supply of the Qi army is. Because flintlock bullets are very difficult to match.

"Alright. We will now allocate our forces. We are to divide our forces into two groups, and take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to assemble on the periphery of the Qi camp. We're going to fight a big fight. The colonel said.

"The key to both forces is time and coordination. We have to hold on to the time. The colonel emphasized.

"First of all, we need to send a force to take out the opponent's patrols, but not all of them, but to attract the opponent's troops to help. This is the key to our victory. So, we need to put the enemy at a certain distance to solve. They have a certain amount of time to come to the rescue, and at this time, the other group is ambushing the opponent on the road. Again, not to annihilate all enemies. The colonel said.

Although everyone had questions, they were listening.

"Then, both forces gathered together and concentrated on attacking the opponent's camp." The colonel said.

"I think that although this plan is good, if we annihilate all the opponents, there will still be a certain amount of pressure, and in terms of time, if we don't grasp it well, it is easy to fatten the opponent and create a big opportunity. And we are cavalry, waging operations against infantry. To be honest, I'm still a little unconfident. The major said.

"We are not attacking with cavalry. Instead, take advantage of the rapid maneuver of the cavalry to launch an ambush, and what we have to do is to dismount and fight on foot. The colonel said as he looked at the major. Foot combat? The Major asked.

"Yes, we're going to fight. Do you know why we won the battle against the Huns? The colonel asked.

"I don't know." The Major shook his head. He never summed it up. His rank of major was self-sealed. It also means that he did not go to a regular military school. Again, the colonel himself did not go to a military school. But he summed it up.

"The Huns will only fight on horses, and we will not only fight on horses. Also dismount and fight. Not only can we take advantage of the cavalry's fast deployment of our speed. At the same time, we also dismounted the combat effectiveness of the infantry. So. At some points, we play a fixed role. The colonel said.

The Major shook his head. He didn't understand what the colonel meant. And he doesn't understand. What the hell is the colonel going to say. But he thought that there was something wrong with the colonel's tactics. What is wrong with this? He himself didn't know. But the Colonel may have another meaning. The Major himself thought so. "Of course. Our plans are subject to change. But the changes ahead are not very large. The colonel said.
