The front-line artillery bombardment time of the main forces of the two sides was unusually short, and Lin Haoda's expression couldn't help but become strange after he saw the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic in the pit in the monoculars. x updates are the fastest

Casio said with a mocking look of disdain next to him: "Do these sans-culottes really regard war as child's play, thinking that they can win the war by dodging the shelling in the pit?"

Who wouldn't dig a pit, and soon these whimsical soldiers of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic knew how aggrieved it was to fight in the pit! “

After Lin Haoda heard this, he gave an order with a smile and without saying a word, and all the young guards attacking on the front line should bring two high-power grenades.

Soon, Lin Haoda's army stopped the symbolic shelling (mainly to drive the revolutionary army of the Republic into the pit).

Under the command of the officer, the military band took the lead in beating the drums of advance, and the junior officers of the Young Guards wore high military hats, wore gorgeous and high-profile military uniforms, and had command knives erected at their sides, and walked in front of the soldiers under their command with solemn expressions.

The reason why the military uniforms worn by the officers are more colorful than the soldiers is mainly to reflect their noble status, which is conducive to the soldiers to distinguish who is their commander, so that they can obey the various orders of their superiors in time, even if their own officers are killed, they can also identify the grassroots officers of other companies through the bright military uniforms, and then easily and quickly join other queues to continue fighting, so as to prevent the situation that the soldiers are leaderless after the death of the grassroots officers.

Of course, such a bright and dazzling officer's costume can also be seen at once in the eyes of the enemy soldiers, but with the hit rate of the flintlock pistol in this era, as long as you don't step within 100 meters, it is difficult to hit, and even if you step within 100 meters, it depends on the probability.

In the era of queuing to be shot, the sense of honor was very strong in the officer corps, and if you were shot and killed in the front, it was also a helpless thing, which is why during the war in continental Europe, there was an unspoken rule of not giving priority to shooting at officers.

After all, the cycle of training officers is much longer than the cycle of training soldiers, and most of the officers are filled by nobles, no matter which country's noble officers do not want their lives to be as fragile as soldiers on the battlefield.

The reason why the European queue to shoot is called a gentleman's war has a lot to do with this unspoken rule of not shooting officers at each other, if it were not for the mutual restraint of the armies of the European continent, the military aristocracy would have hemorrhaged in the war......

The first to break this unspoken rule was Washington, the founding father of the United States, during the American Revolution, the British did not know how many aristocratic officers were killed by American shooters, and because of this, the position of officers gradually shifted to the talented civilian class (in fact, it is a bourgeois family, after all, only a wealthy family can afford to send their children to a regular military academy for further study, and the goal of the poor is still to stay in the problem of filling their stomachs, let alone study in military academies, literacy classes cannot afford to go to it). Opening.

During Napoleon's all-out war, this short man from a civilian family completely broke the unspoken rules of war between the European aristocracy, resulting in a military revolution and national ideological frenzy in the entire European continent.

Although the bourgeois revolution was initially successful by the British, it was Napoleon who really pushed the bourgeois revolution to the whole of Europe, and he used the means of war to pears the whole of Europe, except for the Russian Empire, and used the Napoleonic code to plant the seeds of capitalism and nationalism among the people of all European countries.

Napoleon's actions were not hailed by Europeans as a noble virtue of national liberators, but simply that Napoleon wanted to break the privileges of the feudal aristocracy and reduce the aristocracy to the same status as the common people, so as to facilitate his control of the alien occupation zone.

Yes, in order to achieve his dictatorship and hegemony, Napoleon indirectly promoted nationalism and bourgeois revolution, and if Napoleon had not swept away the military power of the feudal monarchs of Europe at that time, the bourgeoisie would not have been able to use the guns of the monarchs and nobles no matter how much money they had......

In the feudal period of Europe, where the aristocracy was the sky, no matter how rich the capitalist was, he was just a fat sheep without teeth, and the big nobles and monarchs had a hundred ways to kill a big merchant and embezzle each other's property, so the phenomenon of collusion between merchants and nobles in Europe was not much stronger than the phenomenon of the combination of Manchu officials and gentry in the same period.

However, the expansionist and aggressive capitalism was more combative, successfully overthrowing the confinement of the feudal aristocratic class and establishing a political structure favorable to its own interests, while the Han landlord class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was ...... Huh

Led by the expressionless junior officers of the Young Guards, the soldiers marched on drums in a dense phalanx, each company had its own flag bearer and drummer, and these people often walked in the center of the company, which was more concealed than the officer's position, but it was also very easy to shoot.

However, compared with shooting officers, the cost performance of shooting flag bearers and drummers is undoubtedly much lower, these drummers and flag bearers only have cold weapons for self-defense, and there are no muskets, and the soldiers who are killed can also move forward by listening to the drums of other companies, after all, this is a large group action, and it is impossible to cause chaos because of the death of some drummers and flag bearers.

What's more, between the phalanx of the Great Horizontal Column of the Young Guards, there are also higher-ranking officers on war horses, running back and forth to coordinate and direct the soldiers of the Young Guards who are advancing as a whole, so that they can keep their pace in line and be in line with the general queue.

If you want to let tens of thousands of people move forward horizontally and vertically, it is impossible, even if there are so many adjustment steps, it is just barely possible to advance and retreat together, which has nothing to do with the intensity of training, even if it is an honor guard, you let tens of thousands of honor guards line up in a simple horizontal line and walk forward a few hundred meters to try?

The reason why most of the military parades are marched in columns is because it is not difficult for the horizontal formations to move in the same way, but it is not scientific to 'horizontally flat', and in order to maintain the beauty, the honor guards often adopt the form of marching forward in columns.

Of course, there is no need for beauty in the war, as long as the phalanx of the large horizontal team maintains a common advance and retreat, unevenness or something, it is a problem, anyway, the difference between each phalanx is a few meters and more than ten meters, and the shooting will not be delayed.

When you stop moving forward, just take a few quick steps.

Under the shouts of the officers, the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic straightened up in the pit one after another, and stepped on the infantry steps in the pit, just exposing the part above the chest, from which it can be seen that the horizontal trenches built by the revolutionary army are really very different from the trenches of the First World War.
