Chapter 90: Rectifying the Divine Machine Battalion

Wang Guoxing's thinking is correct, but the key is that he himself has never understood the parameters of various weapons, and he is still the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and even the commander does not understand the weapon parameters, and he still expects the generals below to arrange it well?

Once you really go to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to arrange even the most basic troops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the troops equipped with the three-eyed guns are arranged in the rear and the artillery is placed in front of the formation, then it will be a big deal..........

Don't think that this kind of thing will not happen, why the generals of the Ming army have such sophisticated firearms, but they are always defeated repeatedly, a large part of the reason is that those generals are easy to arrange the order of firearms according to their own preferences.

However, as long as there are generals who know how to arrange the firearms correctly, they will basically not lose in the face of the same number of Qing troops.

Don't look at the ancient people fighting, often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, but the competition between the two sides is a morale, people will be afraid of death, as long as the first wave of battles, can kill the enemy, in the case that the other party has no backhand, or reinforcements, then the outcome of this battle can be basically decided.

Qi Zhifeng's more than 8,000 people were able to resist 50,000 or 60,000 Qing troops, and Li Hongfei's 500 new troops defeated Boluo's 20,000 troops, relying on the morale they fought at the beginning.

If the firearms unit is used well, it is an invincible and powerful army, and if it is not used well, it can only become the enemy's combat exploits.

Now seeing Wang Guoxing's appearance, Li Hongfei is really a little worried about whether the Shenji Battalion can go to the battlefield.

"Lord Li, your firearms unit, even the Qi family army is highly respected, let's see if you can arrange a few generals to come to my Shenji Battalion for guidance?" Wang Guoxing seemed to understand what Li Hongfei was thinking.

Wang Guoxing is nominally the commander of the Shenji Battalion, but in fact, he hasn't paid much attention to the Shenji Battalion at all, he was born in Jinyiwei and prefers white-knuckle combat, so the Jingjia Forbidden Army is his favorite.

Now seeing Li Hongfei's worried face, Wang Guoxing understood that if the Shenji Battalion continued like this, it was estimated that it would be abandoned, so he took the initiative to ask that the Shenji Battalion be handed over to someone who knew how to guide him.

"Lord Wang, let me send someone to give instructions, it's not impossible, but the commander I sent must have absolute command during the defense of Nanjing." Li Hongfei took the opportunity to increase the weight.

It's not that he covets Wang Guoxing's army, you must know that this Shenji battalion belongs to the ranks of the Praetorian Guard, and he doesn't dare to make up his mind with Li Hongfei's three guts.

The tactical thinking of the Shenji Battalion is extremely rigid now, and it is not difficult to know from Wang Guoxing's previous remarks that those words are still the tactical concepts summarized by Zhu Di when he personally conquered Mobei.

But now more than 120 years have passed, the weapons and equipment have already been upgraded by more than one grade, and the enemy is not the original one, and it is obviously unrealistic to continue to use the previous tactics when they hear the sound of gunfire.

As for the tactics of using the Suzhou New Army, or even the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family's Army, these are not things that the Shenji Battalion can learn in a short period of time.

Therefore, during the war, Li Hongfei must have absolute control over the Shenji Battalion in front of him, if he can't do it like his arm, then this army, he is too lazy to go to the trouble to adjust, wait until the battle starts, directly push to the front, and be cannon fodder.

"It's no problem to command, after all, you are the governor of the city defense, but Lord Li, this Shenji Battalion is also a forbidden army, you have to take care of the face of the saint, not to mention winning the battle, don't lose too ugly." Wang Guoxing also knew what kind of virtue the current Shenji Camp was, so he kindly reminded him.

Wang Guoxing himself, in fact, does not think much about military power, the most taboo thing for Jinyiwei is the high merit and the master, which is also the main reason why he doesn't care much about the Shenji Battalion, and now someone is willing to take over this mess, he is too late to be happy, how can he object...........

After separating from Wang Guoxing, the first thing Li Hongfei did when he returned to the mansion was to send someone to contact Guo Sheng, Zhang Chao, and Shi Dewei to discuss the issue of the Shenji Battalion.

"If you want me to say, the Shenji Battalion is a mess, and when we fight, find a reason to organize them into reserves, so that it will not affect our command of the battle, and the losses will not be too serious, which will cost the saint face." Guo Sheng said with a big grin.

He was the first Qinwang army to rush to Nanjing, and naturally he also came into contact with the Shenji Battalion in the past two days, and he was not interested in those generals who fought with military books in their hands.

"You can't say that, the adults also said just now, the weapons and equipment of the Shenji Battalion are still very complete, and there are a lot of equipment, even better than ours, wouldn't it be a waste to put such a team in the rear?" Stilwell retorted.

In his opinion, only when there are more people and the strength is greater, there will be enough chance of winning, and he has not realized the essence of small team combat, independence and improvisation.

As for Zhang Chao, he just took over the second division, which has already made him so busy that he doesn't have the heart to make a statement at all.

"Don't say it, this Shenji Battalion is definitely going to fight, and it may be necessary for them to fire the first shot in the defense of Nanjing. The purpose of calling you over today is to ask you to transfer a number of officers with high military quality, flexible minds, and unique tactical thinking, and each division must not be less than 50 people, and I will supplement the commander of the Shenji Battalion. Li Hongfei already has a countermeasure in his heart.

"The first shot in the defense of Nanjing? How about I go to the Divine Machine Camp? Guo Sheng's eyes lit up.

Hearing that the first battle could be held, Guo Sheng "defected" as soon as possible.

"No problem, but after you go, don't come back, I will arrange someone to take over the first division." Li Hongfei didn't have a good airway.

This Guo Sheng is a war maniac, when he heard the battle, his eyes turned green, if it weren't for the well-equipped first division and well-trained soldiers, it is estimated that he would not have been able to keep this guy for a long time.

"Cut, whoever is rare in the Shenji Camp, if you don't go, you won't go." Guo Sheng really withered.

What is the Shenji Battalion, that is the emperor's forbidden army, if Guo Sheng joins, he will be able to enjoy the defense of Nanjing in this battle, once Nanjing is relieved, he will not be trapped in this forbidden army for the rest of his life?

Can't go out to fight, Guo Sheng can't itch to death in his heart?

"There are only 10,000 people in the Shenji Battalion, why do you need so many commanders?" Zhang Chao was puzzled.

Fifty commanders, Zhang Chao is not absent, but once these people are removed, the combat effectiveness of his second division is afraid to be reduced by a large section, after experiencing the Yangzhou landing battle, Zhang Chao understands the important role of grassroots commanders.

If it weren't for the timely response of several company commanders who ordered the whole army to withdraw to the fire support range of the Fran machine, that battalion might even be covered up by the Qing army, and where would it be a great victory at the south gate behind.

Therefore, Zhang Chao still attaches great importance to these grassroots commanders.

"Not to command the 10,000 Shenji Battalion, to be precise, to be precise, to command the 7,000 Shenji Battalion Infantry Army, their chariot battalion, I will adjust it, separate the infantry inside, and form a pure artillery regiment." Li Hongfei explained.

The generals of the Shenji Battalion have some difficulties in commanding all-firearm infantry, let alone commanding the more complex chariot battalion arms.
