0937 The 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army was almost exhausted

This is still the first field division of the Chinese army, the trump card of the trump card! If it were replaced by any division that had just been formed, or even three divisions, 60,000 people might not be able to make dumplings for more than 8,000 people in Lao Maozi!

"Take a gun, use a gun as much as you can!" As the commander of an army of more than 20,000 people, and the vanguard of all previous Chinese army operations, Xuan Jianzhang also worked hard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hurry up, hurry up, shoot as much as you can." Everyone opened fire.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

In fact, there is no need for Xuan Jianzhang to order, the soldiers are also doing this, the soldiers in the south may not be as tall as the northerners, but the agility is stronger than that of the northerners, especially the fierceness, Jiangxi soldiers and Hunan soldiers, Hubei soldiers, are all typical of fierceness! If you fight in the mountains, you can fight five for one person!

The vast majority of the southern soldiers of the Chinese army came from Jiangxi, a few from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and some from Hunan and Hubei, who migrated to the southeast to live, and then were conscripted into the army, or voluntarily asked to enlist.

To Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou these soldiers in the southwest, now there is no in the Chinese army, however, the army of the southwest, President Meng is also very appreciative, in history, they have made outstanding contributions to resist foreign aggression, the soldiers of the southwest, generally have the characteristics of strong endurance, can continue to fight hard, vicious war, the Japanese devils have suffered a lot, the war is mainly to fight for logistics supply, followed by the number and quality of the army, especially the will of the soldiers to fight.

The bayonet technology of this era is not like that of later generations, the guns of the infantry of later generations are finished, and the rifle can only be used as a bayonet, and now the Chinese army is a five-shot rifle, which is not much better than the breech gun of Tsarist Russia, so while fighting bayonets, while taking the opportunity to shoot and kill the enemy, it is also a unique tactic of the Chinese army.

Lao Maozi's bayonet tactics and white-knuckle combat tactics have a history of nearly 200 years, and they are much more mature than the Chinese army, which is only more than three years old.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese army could shoot while fighting bayonets, it would have been almost impossible to fight.

With the development of the quantity and quality of firearms, the rifles of the Tsarist Russian army eventually replaced cold weapons.

Firearms completely controlled warfare, and tactics based on firearms emerged.

The advent of the bayonet made the position of spear warfare even more deprived.

Tactically, in order to better exert the power of firearms, the depth of the infantry line became shallower and shallower, and finally evolved into a line tactic.

Although battles at the time often ended with a white-knuckle assault, a 1762 lethality count of wounded French soldiers showed that infantry small arms had become the dominant casualty at 68.8 percent.

1. The Russian army's firepower ideology in the era of line warfare

"The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a hero." - Russian military strategist Suvorov.

If we interpret the linear tactics of the 18th century in the light of the military thinking of the early 19th century, we may think that it is a defensive formation. Jomini has pointed out that "a good deployment for an offensive should be maneuverable, stoic, and attacking; And for defense, the first thing is to have perseverance, and at the same time to have the maximum possible firepower. ”

Unlike the conservatives in Russia who were trying to replicate Frederick II and implement the Prussian system, Suvorov had an offensive at the core of his military thinking. He is considered to be the earliest military strategist in the Russian army who tried to break the line tactics and use columns and skirmishers. Suvorov's military principles contain two principles, "rapid" and "onslaught". Because of his emphasis on the rapidity of the offensive, his requirements for the Russian army were different from those of the European armies of the same period, and he devoted all his efforts to the firepower of guns.

The requirements for infantry shooting also formed a sharp contrast with the Prussian army, which was the representative of linear tactics of the time.

Frederick II once said: "A Prussian infantry battalion is an active artillery battery." He has an extremely high reload rate, which can be more than three times faster than all other troops. This gave the Prussian army a three-to-one advantage. ”

It can be considered that these words are exaggerated, but it is not difficult to see that the Prussian army at that time was training to pursue faster reloading speed to maximize firepower. Suvorov, on the other hand, advocated precision shooting: "In order to destroy the enemy and save as many bullets as possible, each man should aim at the enemy every time he shoots." "Sometimes even the rate of fire was even reduced, for example in the 1763 Ordinance, which mentioned that in order to shoot as quickly as possible, it was good to put the butt on the ground. However, he demanded that the butt should never be placed on the ground when loaded, and that the whole strip should be checked to see if it had bounced back. Although he put forward many requirements for the shooting of soldiers, he did not approve of winning with firepower: "Shooting should be less and more accurate, and bayonets should be piercing fiercely." He placed special emphasis on cultivating the spirit of fighting bayonets in soldiers. He proudly declared that "the enemy has two hands, but he does not know how to deal with the Russian bayonet".

It should be noted that Suvorov's military ideology of saving bullets, highlighting the white edge, and emphasizing quick battles. The background of its emergence is mainly due to the fact that the wars that Suvorov engaged in all his life were unjust wars of expansion, the battlefields were all in the enemy country, and they often fought without rear, without the support of the people, and it was difficult to maintain morale. At the same time, for most of the time, in order to maintain the rule of the ruling class, the conservatives who implemented the Prussian system were more dominant in the Russian army, and although military strategists like Suvorov won many battles, they often lost in internal political struggles and became victims of palace intrigue.

By the time of Napoleon, the Russian army had risen to a higher level in tactics.

By 1876, the old Maozi army had advanced for a hundred years.

The bayonets of the Chinese army, like rifles, are uniformly configured, unlike the armies of other countries, where there are a variety of rifles and bayonets.

The bayonet seat groove of the Chinese army bayonet is an important indicator to identify the type of bayonet.

The bayonet used in the President's 1874 rifle was very different from the bayonet of other firearms; In general, rifles of this era had bayonet mount slots of the T/O type, while others were of the T type.

In terms of Chinese characters, the T/O type is more appropriate than the cross type.

This was an important feature of the President's 1874 rifle bayonet, and no other rifle used this type of seat slot. The President's 1874 rifle was fully distributed to the First Field Army, the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army, and the Third Field Division of the Chinese Army last year, and the design of the H-shaped socket was completed in 1875.

It's not that Xuan Jianzhang underestimates the enemy, it's really that the old Maozi infantry is too powerful.

"Brothers, you must resist and beat hard."

Similar voices were everywhere on the battlefield.

In addition to the voice of the Chinese, it is the ghost of the old Mao who shouts and curses loudly.

The battle lasted for more than five hours, which was already a marathon for a large-scale white-knuckle battle, and the Chinese army won but it was a tragic victory.

The formation of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was completely disabled, and the army of 20,000 people, with less than 5,000 people left, plus the division commander's guard, there were only 1,200 more than 5,000 people, and this also included more than 3,000 wounded soldiers.

The 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army cleaned up the battlefield, pulled all the supplies and artillery of the Tsarist Russian army to the city of Turukhansk, and burned and blew up the camp of the Tsarist Russian army, so that even if the Russian reinforcements arrived, they could not launch an offensive for at least two or three months, and they had to gain a foothold and build a camp first.

When President Meng received the news, he burst into tears, "How is Xuan Jianzhang?" ”

"Xuan Jianzhang was seriously injured in many places." Princess Katrina Kaf's eyes were also red, and she knew that President Moe was very important.

"Order the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army and the Third Field Division of the Chinese Army to speed up the reinforcements! At all costs, the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army was replaced and sent to Irkutsk to rest and recuperate. President Moe ordered.

"Yes, President." Princess Katrina Kave received the order and hurried down.

For example, a unit like the First Field Division of the Chinese Army must be supplemented by the best fighters from each combat unit, and then soldiers from the local corps must be transferred to each combat unit, and the cycle of replenishing blood is relatively long! If the First Field Division of the Chinese Army is to be restored to combat effectiveness, it will be four or five months at the earliest.
