The lessons of the defeat in the Crimean War forced the Russian ruling class to learn from the capitalist countries of the West. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1861, Alexander II issued the so-called "February 19" decree, which abolished serfdom through top-down reforms, which, although limited and incomplete, nevertheless contributed to the development of the capitalist economy.

At the same time, Russia's military reform was also promoted.

In this military reform, War Minister Dimitrimiliukin played the greatest role, so it is called the "Miryukin reform".

By the time of the Franco-Prussian War, the tactics of skirmishers in European countries had become more mature.

Mikinliu's military reforms, which involved the military service system, army structure, command system, weapons and equipment, troop training, and officer training, were aimed at building a modern Russian army as a favorable tool for the tsar's domestic and foreign policies.

In 1863, the War Department issued an order requiring recruits to be trained in gun handling, loading and shooting, so that they could learn the rules of spreading out queues and horizontal formations.

On the basis of the experience of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, a special commission was organized by the Army System and the Formation Committee to study the shooting of infantry in scattered formations and to draw conclusions about the importance of the skirmish line in infantry battle formations.

In order to improve the quality of soldiers, the work of eradicating the literacy of soldiers was also launched, and before the reform, only 10 per cent of soldiers could read and write, and in order to improve the literacy rate, company schools were set up, with platoon commanders and company commanders serving as instructors, and infantry literacy training teams were also established.

By the mid-70s, the literacy rate of the infantry reached 40 percent, which is already quite high, of course, not as good as the Chinese army, the Chinese army's army literacy rate is 100 percent, which is clearly requested by President Moe!

Moreover, the Hua Jun is all members of the Hua Cui Party.

These military reforms in Tsarist Russia were not without results, and in the original history, in the subsequent Russo-Turkish war, Russia achieved a military victory over Turkey.

Throughout the development of infantry tactical thinking in Tsarist Russia over the past century, it has always been subject to the backward serfdom and the decadent tsarist autocracy.

This point is incomparable with the Chinese army of Tsarist Russia.

The Chinese army took into account the military advantages of Germany and the United States, and the advantages of the Red Army of later generations of Taizu, and was the most excellent army in the core.

Like the political system and economic system of the Chinese state, the superiority of the Chinese army lies in the system, with emphasis on the training of soldiers and officers.

Although there are a few shining points of military strategists such as Suvorov, Kutuzov, and Milyutin, their technical and tactical level has long been in a state of following in the footsteps of their counterparts in Western Europe, and sometimes they even go backwards.

And this state of affairs inevitably affected Russia's performance in foreign wars.

The pride of the Russians is the infantry. The infantry was astonishingly resolute and was a dangerous enemy, both in a horizontal column or in a column, or behind a breastwork.

But that's not all they can do about it.

They were almost completely unfit to be light infantrymen.

The Russian infantry was generally not good marksmen, and although they were longer than on foot, they were not very fast; Their columns were usually poorly organized and were often routed by enemy artillery fire before they could attack.

This "formidable, almost impenetrable Russia in defense, was correspondingly weak in attack."

Therefore, Russia suffered a crushing defeat not only in the war against France in 1805-1807, but also against weak enemies such as Persia, Turkey, and Sweden, which were often protracted and unable to solve the problem.

The Russian army is typical only defensive, completely ignorant of attack, offensive is a simple bombing, plus crowd tactics, of course, in this era, Tsar Alexander II has too little capital in his hands, and it is difficult to play crowd tactics, where is the industrial base for him to bomb?

"Now it depends on how fast the Russian army goes, or if it is slow, I hope they can arrive after our reinforcements arrive, the second and third divisions, speed up the march!" Princess Katrina Kafu worried.

President Meng pursed his lips, didn't answer, and didn't want to urge anymore, he knew that the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army and the Third Field Division of the Chinese Army would not be delayed, and if he couldn't catch up, it would be his fate!

Tsarist Russian reinforcements came so quickly!

The main reason is that the route of Tsarist Russia is shorter than that of the Chinese army, and the road from Yekaterinburg to the Yenisei River is better than that of the Chinese army from Irkutsk to Turukhansk.

More than 50,000 Tsarist Russian troops, in addition to the cavalry left behind, artillery immediately began to bombard, and nearly 38,000 infantry began to force the whole line.

The senior military officials of Tsarist Russia are the Minister of War Dimitrimiryukin, as well as Marshal Bagliatinsky, these are all palace-level military geniuses, many military geniuses in World War II, and they are talked about by later generations, but everyone knows less about the European military genius in the period before World War I and World War I, in fact, this period of time is an important time for infantry to grope and grow, many military geniuses, it is they who laid the military concept of later countries!

For example, the infantry of Tsarist Russia was built by the Minister of War Dimitrimiryukin.

This Tsarist army was led by Tsarist Marshal Dmitry Konbarov and Deputy Commander of the Tsarist Far Eastern Army Andrey Yeshchenko!

Both of them are also very strong military talents, and after arriving at the Yenisei River, they immediately knew that the Siberian army was all defeated by the Chinese army, and no one fled back! Only a few artillerymen from the original garrison fled in the confusion.

Tsarist Russian Marshals Dimitri Kumbarov and Andrey Yeshchenko briefly discussed for a while, believing that no matter whether the reinforcements of the Chinese army arrived or not, the established policy did not need to be changed, and with strong troops, Turuhansk was captured!

Boom Boom!

The 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, which had only more than 5,000 remnants left, suddenly panicked.

"Division, it's not good, the Tsarist army has arrived!" The chief of staff of the division stumbled in and said to Xuan Jianzhang, who was lying on the hospital bed.

Xuan Jianzhang coughed, he was injured in many places, and all of them were seriously injured, almost in a state of unconsciousness, he calmed down, and said: "Don't panic, let everyone resist, shrink into the city of Turukhansk, and fight and retreat, don't fight with the enemy." Quickly rule the situation here over the General Staff and the President! ”

"Yes! Division! "The chief of staff of the division got Xuan Jianzhang's direct order and stabilized his mind, what the army is most afraid of is that the commander will suddenly be unable to command, no matter whether Xuan Jianzhang is sitting or lying down, as long as he can still give orders, the army will have the backbone.

This battle was unprecedentedly tragic, and the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, which had more than 5,000 remnants, actually had less than 2,000 soldiers who could fight, and the others were either lightly injured or seriously injured.
