Chapter 243: Details Determine Success or Failure
Regiment Commander Xiao Liu agreed with his junior brother to continue to train the soldiers in ideological unity, obviously seeing that the effect of this was obvious, and the soldiers who had been trained were obviously different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After these soldiers have been trained, they are clearly the same as before. Captain Xiao Liu found that their eyes began to flash with a strange look, as firm as their junior brother. In this regard, of course, Head Xiao Liu is happy to see it. The Weibei Battalion used to fight to the death, gritting its teeth and struggling to survive, not just so that everyone could live a good life.
After so many years, the Weibei battalion has finally lived a good life, and now it is well fed, warmly dressed, and the armor and weapons are also new.
The Weibei battalion has fought a lot of battles over the years, to the east, to the south, to the north, I don't know how many battles, only in this troubled world, to create a peaceful sky for themselves. But different people, in different positions, see different things. Take the people of Dingbei County as an example, although they know that there is a dire situation outside and know that their peaceful life is very precious, they do not feel that this peace is the life of the soldiers of the Weibei Battalion.
Most of the people felt that Weibei Camp should do just that. Moreover, these people did not have the slightest sense of self-defense of their homeland, because that would lead to death. It wasn't until Li De tempted the people with generous material conditions at the beginning that the people were willing to let the youngest son of the family sign up for the military inspection. Including the Dingbei garrison regiment regularly recruits the people of Dingbei County to work and gives generous wages, all in order to envelop the people of Dingbei.
In other warlords, this matter is much simpler, the knife is put on the neck of the people, the food at home, and the men in the prime of life are all taken away. Just like the Jin Dynasty that has perished, the people dare not speak out, and they are completely a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, Weibei Ying adhered to the wishes of Di Dashuai and never violated the people, and the old medical officer Sun never received the food from the people of Dingbei County. The people of Dingbei County can live a good life today, which is closely related to Weibei Camp. After the veterans of the Weibei Battalion retreated, the newly recruited soldiers, the homeless people and the people of Dingbei County, accounted for half of them, and these soldiers had no intention of defending their homeland. Fortunately, the Weibei battalion is strictly disciplined and has a complete set of training methods, which ensures that the combat strength is not weakened.
Although the upper echelons of the Weibei battalion, the two regiment commanders, and the three generals were aware of fighting everywhere to protect the stability and prosperity of Dingbei County, the lower-level soldiers did not know this, and they would only obey orders and obey military orders. The soldiers don't know why they fight, they just mechanically obey military orders, which can't condense the soul of the army. And a soldier and horse without a military soul is not the strongest. If you encounter a really harsh war, you will probably not survive.
Although the old medical officer Sun and the head of Xiao Liu do not have the specific concept of military soul, they inherit the art of war of Marshal Di, and they also have this consciousness in the sea of knowledge. There are also concerns about the situation where soldiers are fighting for no reason, but they don't know how to solve it.
This situation was not completely resolved until Li Deyi proposed to unify the thinking of the soldiers and give them ideological education classes. The soldiers who have gone through the course education finally know that they are fighting for themselves and for the peaceful life of their families and children. If you don't want your family to be ravaged and humiliated by the Tuliao people, and you don't want to be brutally robbed of your family's money and food by those separatist tyrants, you must fight bravely to defend your homeland!
At this point, the garrison regiment finally began to condense the soul of the army. The previous bloody battles have become the powerful flesh and blood of this military soul, and the idea of defending the homeland has become the core of this military soul.
Li Deyi now starts running back and forth between the steel academy and the large classroom of the garrison regiment every morning after the morning exercise, giving lessons to people. Every day passes, it is busy and fulfilling.
In addition to training, Regiment Commander Xiao Liu has been keeping a close eye on the military situation and always paying attention to the latest movements of the Tuliao people.
There is a big thing that has the hard work of his senior brother, and Li Deyi continued to work on his side, attending classes, teaching his own students, and teaching elite soldiers. Since it was not possible to train more trainees in a short period of time, the production of Steel School temporarily reached a bottleneck and could not be further increased.
It was difficult to increase the output, so Li Deyi began to think about improving the quality of the product, and specially held a meeting to improve the quality of the product. The participants of this conference include the master of the Iron and Steel School, Zhou Quan, Bao Shan, Zhang An, and the new senior technician, Wang Yigao (reserve master).
At this meeting, Li Deyi had an in-depth and extensive exchange of views on issues of common concern to all parties attending the meeting, and reached a consensus. According to the reactions collected from the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, although this new black steel scale cloud armor has strong defensive power, in terms of wearing design, it still adopts the scheme of old-fashioned scale armor, so a single soldier cannot complete the wearing of a full set of armor, and someone must help him.
The current method adopted by the garrison regiment is that the second platoon of soldiers helps the first platoon of soldiers to wear armor, and so on, the last platoon of soldiers does not need to be in front of the battle, they do not need to be the first to engage the enemy, and they can be the last to be helped by the left and right robes to put on the armor.
Now the defensive effect of this black steel scale cloud armor far exceeds all the previous armor, and the soldiers love it, so they want to make it more perfect, so they put forward this opinion.
Li Deyi attached great importance to this matter, and did not feel that this was a matter of his soldiers and stirring up thorns. The infantry of the Dingbei garrison regiment was extremely neat, so during the war, the soldiers in the rear platoon helped to pierce the armor, and they have been doing so.
Author, don't they all wear armor when they march? How do you wear armor when you're in battle? You're kidding.
Well, in fact, you have all been misled by the TV series, according to historical records, the Song Dynasty Bu Ren Jia, the full weight is converted into today's weight, which is 29.8kg. Coupled with a spear, a kettle, and dry food, the weight of this soldier's whole body will reach seventy or eighty pounds. Then, if you let the soldiers wear the seventy or eighty pounds of their whole body, walk dozens of miles a day, and then engage the enemy, isn't this a collective death for the soldiers?
With the nutrition and physical fitness of modern soldiers, as well as the amount of training on weekdays, 5 kilometers of 20 kilograms of weight-bearing armed cross-country is a major item, which is one of the physical requirements for the selection of modern special forces. One of the conditions for the selection of modern special forces, brothers.
If you think about the nutritional level of the ancients, ordinary soldiers can't eat meat at all on weekdays, so they eat some beans to supplement their physical fitness. If you look back at those TV series now, the soldiers are all in armor, marching for a day, and have the strength to charge and fight, they are not people, they are all supermen. Therefore, it's okay to watch less TV series, it's really tricky.
You can also find a senior traveler to inquire, what is the concept of carrying a twenty-pound bag and walking fifty miles a day. This is still the road that there is now, the same road condition in ancient times.
If you look at a lot of historical real battle records, after the victory of the infantry array, they pursued the enemy, but they did not catch up all the way, and they were ambushed by the enemy, and they were immediately defeated. An important reason for this kind of thing to happen is that the soldiers are covered in armor and chase out, and the physical exertion is too great, even if they catch up with the enemy, most of them do not have much strength left to fight. 1
Therefore, in ancient times, even if the infantry fought against the cavalry, they often did not dare to pursue and expand the results of the battle, because they were afraid of this. Therefore, for a long time, cavalry has been the ace army on the battlefield of cold weapons, and an important reason is that there are war horses to walk, and soldiers can save a lot of physical strength and leave it for combat (cutting people).
Also, in ancient times, famous generals set up camp, why did they leave a group of men and horses to guard against the enemy's attack on the camp? An important reason is that the soldiers rest at night and do not wear armor, and if the enemy attacks suddenly, it is difficult to put on the complicated armor in a short time. When the time comes, without armor, how can the soldiers be able to defend themselves against a heavily armed enemy, which will often lead to a great rout.
The real battle situation is that when the foot soldiers are on the march, in order to maintain enough physical strength to cope with the next big battle, they often do not choose to wear full armor, unless they reconnoiter clearly in advance and determine that there is an ambush on the road. The reason is simple, it is safe to march in armor, but if the enemy rushes in front of you, if you don't have the strength to raise your weapon to resist, it is just a canned meat, and it can only be slaughtered by people.
The same is true for the infantry of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, only when it is determined that the battle will start, Commander Xiao Liu will order the soldiers to be fully clothed. Otherwise, when marching, only crotch armor was worn to protect the legs, and the cuirass, which had the heaviest upper body, was often worn completely before the battle. An important item in the training content of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment on weekdays is to quickly help the robe to quickly put on neatly within 20 breaths.
Therefore, when the soldiers of the garrison regiment reported this issue, Li Deyi immediately attached importance to it. To tell the truth, although his original qi cultivation has reached the Qi Strength Realm, he is about to become a great success, but every time he wears armor, it is still a troublesome thing, and the buttons behind him are really difficult to tie. After all, your original qi cultivation is a strong realm, but your arms have not become longer, and you can tie the button around your back, which is always not long enough, and it is not good to be flexible.
The meeting lasted for a long time, and everyone did not come up with any good solutions. Only Zhang Anti's suggestion, which sounds like that, suggested that the leather rope buckles should be replaced with iron hooks, so that they are easy to wear and not easy to wear. However, there is also a big problem with this, with the existing forging and smelting technology, it is difficult to make the iron hook small, and if it is barely small, it is not strong enough, and it is easy to break in the fierce battle, and then it can endanger the lives of the soldiers, which Li Deyi will never allow.
In the end, the discussion came, and the discussion went, although Zhang An's words were not adopted, they gave Li Deyi a lot of inspiration. In the end, Li Deyi saw the inspiration in the sea, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Wouldn't we just make the button into steel!" "See, sometimes, the solution is as simple as that, but you have to work hard to find this simple solution.
Before, the entire Dingbei garrison regiment was in short supply of steel, and who was willing to use steel to make buttons. For a long time, inertial thinking has been formed. That is, Li Deyi dared to think like this and dare to do this. That night, Li Deyi found his senior brother and told him about this method.
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "You have a good method!" We not only make the armor buttons into steel for the soldiers, but also according to the rank of the soldiers, the first-class soldiers, the whole armor is steel buckles, the second-class soldiers, only half of the steel buckles, and the third-class soldiers are halved. Of course, just use the steel from the old pit, and the good steel of the new pit in the grassland has to be used on the blade. ”
Since then, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment has had a new award system, and the reward is a steel button. This is not an ordinary reward, at present, there is a shortage of steel in the entire Dingbei County, and the only good steel has been made of swords, guns and armor. As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, and the first-class soldiers of the garrison regiment are all proud of the steel buttons on their armor. This has also become a symbol of the status of a first-class soldier. After all, the wooden sign is in his arms, and it is too troublesome to always take it out for others to see, and this button made of steel is exposed outside, and others can see it at a glance.
With this steel clasp instead, the soldiers could finally put on the heavy breastplate on their own, and if someone helped them, the time it took would be greatly shortened.
In order to provide enough steel to make buttons, Li Deyi gave Luo You a personal thought lesson several times, encouraging him to make persistent efforts to dig out more pits and iron seedlings for the sake of the garrison regiment and the good life of his family.
Busy coming and going, Li Deyi didn't realize that the year was over, he was already twenty years old this year, and he was a real adult. Moreover, the Tuliao army is pressing, and the Dingbei garrison regiment has no intention of celebrating the New Year, only the people of Dingbei County are still lively, after all, life is good now, family income has increased, and there is no need to pay food, there is no reason not to celebrate.
Years later, months passed day by day, and half a year in a flash.
On this day, Li Deyi was giving a thought lesson to the first-class soldiers, when he was suddenly called away by someone sent by his senior brother.
"The army of the northern route of the Tuliao people advancing westward has captured half of the land in the east of Xiahe Province of the Jin Dynasty in Yuanshimaizhou." Head Xiao Liu said worriedly. (To be continued.) )
