Chapter 329: Enterprising
After the personnel are replenished, it is time for various high-intensity short-term assault drills to absorb and integrate these new blood and human resources. ,
Although we can't expect them to become brave warriors overnight, we can gradually get used to the combat methods and styles of friendly forces through guò daily running-in and mixing, at least after the battle, so as not to become unstable factors and hidden dangers in the self-disordered formation.
At this time, the ad hoc pacesetter regiment and the teaching team came into play again, the pacesetter regiment directly provided a group of backbone non-commissioned officers, and the teaching team was responsible for drawing out low-level officers to serve as instructors.
In addition, the veterans seconded by the three major battalions are familiar with them, and they can easily prop up the shelves of a new unit as the likes of Shi Changhuo and others.
However, in line with the requirement of being able to do nothing, I have made up for the three battalions and eight auxiliary brigades, and there is a shortage of various battle losses and expansions, and only the fifth battalion has been added to the provisional formation.
With Ning Zhiyuan, the deputy lieutenant of the former third battalion, he took the second regiment to serve directly, and the basic foundation of the fifth battalion was still from the Longzhou regiment training in the rear. The hundreds of men who had undergone preliminary training were then combined with the melee white soldiers and spearmen drawn from the eight auxiliary brigades to form a slightly smaller battalion.
My pro-direct regiment also sent more than a dozen reinforcements to it as the deputy of each team, and the battalion instructor was from the Yuhou group around me.
Compared with the full strength of the four regiments and three teams of the three battalions, the provisional fifth battalion has only three regiments and two teams, but most of the stragglers are assigned to its command.
In this way, although there has not been much change in the overall number, but the original nearly 10,000 horses have become more than 10,000, but with the decline in the number and proportion of stragglers, the overall quality and equipment have increased by at least 20 to 30 percent.
It was better to defeat so many enemies, and some of the weapons and armor of all kinds were captured, but they were not in order, and it was more than enough to arm two or three battalions, and the new battalion of guns and their spare parts were also replenished again by the rear.
After the rear road is consolidated, I have the spare energy to consider the plan for further counterattacks, and I can at least draw out the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions of the main battle force as a frontal attack sequence.
As the so-called coming without being rude, how can I, the defense envoy of the state who has not yet sat on the hot ass, be beaten passively in his own jurisdiction.
My subordinates have been practicing their riding skills hard all this time, staying with the war horses day and night and getting acquainted with each other, although they are still only the kind of people who can't run fast or run at all, and can only guarantee riding (lying down?). The level that does not fall off on horseback.
But at least, the initial mobility and travel distance are finally there. As the saying goes, "the enemy can go to me, and I can go" is the basic action force.
And I also seriously considered Liu Yanqing's Jianyì and found that there were not many reasons to refuse.
Although the combat effectiveness of our unit has been trained on the battlefield and tested for school, it is really insignificant compared to the huge military strength of the Southern and Northern Expeditions.
Moreover, as a core man who is good at firearms tactics and represented by the Gun Army, he is limited after all, and he really can't afford too many casualties. The most feared thing is to put it in the frontal battlefield of a large cluster decisive battle, under the scale of ten times and dozens of times the size of the friendly army, it can play a limited role, but it is very easy to be used as a certain part of the war machine, to be consumed alive.
On the contrary, this kind of situation of partnering with familiar troops and going all the way alone can give full play to the advantages and strengths of our unit, and it is more convenient to take a step back and show credit and monopolize the spoils of war and logistical resources.
The so-called delegating to work alone, compared with mixing with everyone and being with the same dust, who can get the attention and attention of the boss is self-evident.
In the past, it was all passive defense - counterattack, but this time I planned to take the initiative to attack, and how much I showed my aggressiveness, but the direction is debatable.
In the territory of Songzhou in the north of Maozhou, there is a large hilly mountainous area, which is good for defense and not conducive to attack.
A few days later, near Chenzhou, Yanqiu,
Zhang Jiliang, the Dengzhou strategy and observation envoy who was urgently dispatched from Taikang Town to block the enemy's momentum, couldn't help but twitch his face, frowning and looking at the troops who shouted their fathers and mothers and were killed in all directions.
Although the seniority of the state and county soldiers under his command is concerned, there are also many veterans who have participated in the Saiqiu hunt, coupled with the long-term confrontation between the feudal towns, it can be said that they have experienced a hundred battles.
But there was no way to penetrate the horizontal formations that were too thin because they were stretched out. They are like waves crashing on the shallow embankment,
No matter what tactics are used, whether it is a conical protrusion, or the adduction of the two wings, or a two-line low attack, the opponent always corresponds with a long horizontal line.
When he got close, he stabbed and stabbed with a spear to force him back, and the white soldier rushed out of the gap, lowered his body and slashed at the next plate, and during this period, the opponent's fire gun never stopped at all, and he had to kill and injure no matter how far or near.
And the biggest result after the fierce battle was just to make the array of spearmen crouching in front of them a little sparse, and then they were spontaneously supplemented by the manpower from the rear team.
After each round of firing, they would form a column of one, twenty or thirty men, under the guidance of a non-commissioned officer armed with a flag gun, and slightly adjust the line to align themselves with their friendly neighbors.
Even the archers who were brought up to try to suppress them suffered enough, and they were able to advance under the rain of arrows, risking casualties, while keeping the basic queue intact, while loading and firing as they went, and finally overwhelming the group of archers with a dense rain of bullets, leaving them unbearable and scattered in all directions.
Then those white soldiers with swords and shields lightly accelerated through the gunpowder smoke screen in the battlefield, and scattered the whole team that was easily assembled in the face of all kinds of killings.
If it weren't for Zhang Jiliang still leaving a number of soldiers and horses, as a backhand and a contingency, I am afraid that he and the banner of the Chinese army would be taken away by those routs who broke the embankment and flowed back like a flood.
It's just that Zhang Jiliang also had to give an order to cover and transfer, after all, most of the troops in the front division have lost their courage, and in a short time, they can't afford to fight anymore, so they can only retreat for the time being, and rely on the sense of security of the city wall again, and slowly recover.
"Damn the South-Barbarians......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse.
Although the official caliber has always called the big beam outside the southern ridge as the southern rebellion, these northern generals privately prefer to become foreign southern barbarians, or southern Yankees, just because Lingwai, as the basic base of the Southern Dynasty, was a southern barbarian miasma in history for the exile of prisoners.
And the Southern Dynasty naturally used other names such as "Beiyu", "Hu Dynasty" and "Sheep and Horses", because many of the ancestors of the Northern Dynasty were from naturalized people, mixed with too much foreign blood, so they were full of fishy smell......
Just cursing alone could not solve any problems, and the rest of the men and horses escorted the tent and rushed out, as for those men and horses who were heavy and in the back of the position, they could only be thrown to the enemy troops who were slowly closing, and more or less played the effect of writing and blocking the enemy.
At least these Southern Dynasty guns seem to be unable to run fast, especially when they lose their armor and run for their lives.
After running out for more than ten miles in one breath, Zhang Jiliang stopped at his horse, shouted left and right, gathered his troops again, counted the heads, and went to the border of Chen and Hao along the river to block the enemy's mission had failed, and he had to come up with a more decent rhetoric in order to clear himself from the responsibility of being covered up and attacked.
For example, the enemy situation is a big mistake, the enemy's strength is several times, and thanks to the bloody and hard battles of the soldiers, they have to get out. After all, there are many feudal towns under the Northern Dynasty, and in most cases, the soldiers and territory in their hands are the foundation of strength and the guarantee of status.
Even if they work together to fight against the Southern Dynasties, they are not exempt from vulgarity, and only when there are soldiers can they have money and food, whether it is robbery or looting; And if there is territory, there will be a source of soldiers and horses, whether it is to capture or recruit.
What he was thinking about at the moment was how to make up for his losses while fighting in the guest land.
It was only a moment after the order was issued, and suddenly the soldiers gathered around the periphery exploded in panic, and they heard the sound of ping-pong firecrackers and the familiar sound of neat trumpets.
"This bitterness is also ......"
Zhang Jiliang couldn't help but sigh, I don't know when, there was already a man and horse of the Southern Army who went around to their back.
At this moment, they lined up in horizontal formations on both sides of the official road, just holding their horses as cover, and put their guns in rows, although they only had hundreds of people, and the two lines lined up were almost broken by a thin rush, and they didn't even have the spears and knives that were usually responsible for covering.
But no one wants to face their direction. Instead, they turned their heads and ran, and the friendly troops in the rear team were trampled into a ball of congestion and shouting for their fathers and mothers, and the resulting stampede killed and injured were even worse than those killed by the projectiles.
In fact, even the edge of the city wall of Yanqiu was already in the field of vision of a few people, but they were like frightened sheep, just wanting to flee farther and farther.
And on the city wall of Yanqiu, there was also a panic, although they were running non-stop, but no one thought or dared to send a force to try to attack and break through the interception of this small group of men and horses, so as to take the defeated brigade of men and horses back.
Instead, they were dumbfounded or at a loss, watching the friendly forces flee one after another under the attack of the asymmetrical number of people.
Just as they turned to rout, only half a day later, Yanqiu City also announced that it had changed hands, and the defenders who had no intention of fighting after witnessing the rout of their allies took advantage of the situation and set fire to them, and fled one after another, leaving the city with smoke to most of the new army that caught up.
In this way, the left wing of the new army was on the bank of the vortex river in Chenzhou, and it had the first support point and temporary base.
