Chapter 103: Drill
On the first day of June, at the end of the year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The troop of 1,280 men set out from the barracks outside the city at the same time, and it was still early, and there were basically no pedestrians to be seen on the road, which was conducive to the march of the troops, conducive to secrecy, and would not cause much impact.
According to the marching plan, the team must march about 200 miles today, and rush to Changhua Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture, and the team has only 200 war horses, and most of the sergeants must walk 200 miles on foot.
This is the ultimate test, even if it is the training of special forces, it is nothing more than that.
Unless there is an emergency military situation, there is no such forced march under normal circumstances, and the occasional forced march has a good effect on exercising the willpower of the team, but the long-term forced march brings the sergeant a huge injury to the body, and it is a physical injury that cannot be completely recovered, after all, it is flesh and blood, and the bearing capacity is limited.
After the forced march of two hundred miles, the team will rest near Changhua Town for about three days for restorative training, and as for how to find a suitable place, that is the responsibility of the scouts.
When the team was concentrated in the barracks, it was silent, and even Huanhuan, who was following Wu Shaogang's side, was holding his tongue and not making any sound.
The movements of the crowd were very fast and clean, showing the superior results of the training.
Wu Shaogang stood facing the sergeant, not moving.
Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi, Tan Mazi, Qin Han and others are cleaning up the number of people.
In this march, Zhang Binghui was the commander-in-chief, Ma Long assisted, Wang 13 was in charge of the scouts, Du Xiaoqi was in charge of the cavalry, Tan Mazi was in charge of the infantry, and Qin Han was in charge of logistics.
There was no special logistics team, and each sergeant carried the rations needed to be consumed that day, including Wu Shaogang, but after arriving at the destination, Qin Han had to prepare the food needed for the next day according to the requirements.
In the middle of summer, it's nice to be able to prepare the day's food.
After the team gathered, Wu Shaogang nodded.
One thousand two hundred and eighty people set out from the barracks.
The sergeant who took over from the barracks stationed outside the city would arrive at midnight.
Wu Shaogang and Zhang Binghui were at the front of the line.
The scouts led by Wang 13 hurried up and went to the front to reconnoitre, their main task today was to find the place where the team camped, this place must avoid the official road, there are almost no households around, but it should not be too far from the villages and towns, otherwise it is not conducive to the supply of food.
On the march, military discipline and military regulations will be tested to the greatest extent.
What Wu Shaogang values most is military discipline and military regulations.
A team must have strict military discipline and military regulations, orders and prohibitions are on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is no offense in the autumn, even if it encounters irresistible difficulties, it is not allowed to harass the people, only such an army can get the heartfelt support of the people, and only then can it really have combat effectiveness.
This is the most difficult for the Great Song Dynasty army to do, the rout of military discipline and military regulations, the plundering in the process of conquest, so that the army can not get the support of the people, but also let the army not have much combat effectiveness, in the face of the same lack of support from the people of the Mongolian Tartars, the Great Song Dynasty army has been defeated repeatedly, not to mention the protection of the people, even their own safety can not be guaranteed.
When training in military camps outside the city, military discipline and military rules are ironclad requirements and must not be violated.
In this march, military discipline and military regulations are also the most important aspects.
An hour had passed, and by the hour had arrived, the procession had marched nearly fifty miles.
There are no sergeants who have fallen behind, and everyone's spirit is still very full, including Wu Shaogang, there are no horses, all on foot, the hooves of the war horses are wrapped in strips of cloth, and they will not make too much noise when walking on the road.
There must have been a feeling of exhaustion, sweat drops were pouring out of everyone's faces, the sun had risen in the sky, the temperature was slowly rising, the weather was about to get hot, and the hard march had just begun.
According to the marching plan, the team rested at noon, and Shen continued to march.
In total, the march took only four hours, and four hours required a march of two hundred miles to reach the destination.
"My lord, you are still riding a horse, there is no need to follow the crowd all the way on foot."
"Zhang Binghui, you are the commander-in-chief, even you are on foot, but I am under your command, how can I ride a horse."
"Adults are different from subordinates, subordinates must command the march of the team...
"It's no different, on the first march, all officers must lead by example, and I can't be an exception, only in this way will the sergeant be convinced."
"This, subordinates always feel inappropriate."
"Zhang Binghui, you were also in the barracks before, I'm afraid you are used to a lot of things, including many sergeants, and you also think that officers should ride horses, but in my place, this article will not work, officers take the lead, this is the requirement of military discipline and military regulations, it must be implemented, fight on the battlefield, follow me and give me, these two orders, the effect is completely different, the officer rushes to the front, the sergeant will fight to the death, even if he encounters defeat, he will not retreat easily, if the officer hides behind, As soon as the sergeants feel that they are unable to resist, they will evacuate en masse. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Binghui beside him while marching briskly.
"The power of the list is infinite, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian Tatars is extraordinary, there are their particularities, the Mongolian steppe life is hard, and its sergeants have been tempered and tempered since childhood, so that their willpower is very strong, but more importantly, every time the Mongolian army fights, its officers are at the forefront of the charge, which can stimulate the combat effectiveness of the sergeants."
"I still remember the battle of Hezhou the year before last, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge personally led a large army to attack Diaoyu City, but also because he was wounded in that battle, and finally died of injuries, I once heard Lord Lu say that the walls of Diaoyu City are very strong, and the general army will not force the attack many times, but the Mongolian Tatars are different, although the casualties are very large, they still attack desperately."
"My army of the Great Song Dynasty can't do this at all, every time there is a battle, the sergeants charge at the front, and the officers are all hiding behind, and if they encounter a little setback, they will be completely defeated, how can such an army have combat effectiveness."
"The Yuejia army back then, why did it have such strong combat effectiveness, it was nothing more than two aspects, one was that the military discipline and military regulations were strict, and every time the battle was killed, the officers were at the forefront, and the other was that they would never harass the people and won the support of the people."
"Our army also needs to do this, such a long time of training, what our purpose is, you should be clear."
。。。
Zhang Binghui nodded again and again and stopped talking.
At noon, when the team rested, it had already marched a hundred miles.
It's the hottest time of the day.
The resting place is a valley, and it is also the place where the scouts have long been looking for it.
In the next three quarters, the sergeant after the meal was resting, ready to set off again.
Wang Shisan, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly entered the valley and came to Wu Shaogang and Zhang Binghui.
"Report to the lord, Zhang Zhengjiang, the place where the team rests has been found, in the Liulin Bay of Changhua Town, Liulin Bay is only twelve miles away from Changhua Town, the place is relatively remote, inaccessible, and in the hills, which is conducive to the stationing of the team.
Wang 13 reported the map on the ground.
The map had just been drawn, and it was drawn by Wang 13 himself.
Wu Shaogang listened to Wang Shisan's report while looking at the map carefully.
The labels on the map are very clear, almost all the points are available, and you can see them clearly at a glance, the only fly in the ointment is that the distance is not very accurate.
However, it is not easy to be able to do this, after all, Wang 13 does not have the slightest cultural foundation, and it is already very good to be able to draw such a figure.
However, Wang 13 commanded the scouts to investigate, and Wu Shaogang's requirements were stricter.
"Wang Thirteen, the map is well drawn, this is also your first real reconnaissance, the map drawn alone, but I still have to point out the shortcomings, mainly one aspect, that is, the distance between the points is not very clear, some places seem to be far away, but the distance marked is not far, some places seem to be close, but the distance that can be marked is quite far apart."
"Don't think that my requirements are too harsh, when it comes to fighting, it will be a thousand miles to miss the slightest mistake, and once there is a deviation on the map, then the army will pay a heavy price."
"Wang Thirteen, you are the general of the Urging Army, and you are specifically responsible for scouts, what you ask your scouts to do, you must do it first, you are strict, and the scouts under your command can continue to improve, and when the battle really comes, they can detect enough accurate information."
。。。
After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Wang Shisan couldn't rest and began to revise and redraw the map.
Half an hour later, the map drawn by Wang Shisan again had been greatly improved, and Wu Shaogang nodded with satisfaction.
"There are two forms of scouts drawing maps, one is a simple map, which is quickly drawn when the military situation is urgent, and the other is an intelligence map, which is a map drawn after detailed reconnaissance, such an intelligence map, the requirements must be as accurate and detailed as possible, the scout's reconnaissance is in place, and the army can be calmly deployed in combat."
"Wang Thirteen, these understandings must be made clear to every scout, they are the most elite sergeants in the army, and their responsibilities are naturally different, they are like the eyes of the army, without them, the army is blind in battle, and they dare not guarantee victory in battle."
At the time of Shen, the team set off again, this time they would not rest, and they were about to arrive at their destination, Liulin Bay in Changhua Town, in one go. (To be continued.) )
