Chapter 102: Modern Cavalry
"Mr. Chen, I see that you have been very busy lately, and I don't have time to visit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now that I see you helping the Heaven and Earth Society rebels, then I'm naturally a little interested. So I want to ask you how to build a strong army. ”
Chen Dingtian had already known that Mo Qing's identity was Xiangma, and as for Mo Qing, he also knew that Chen Dingtian already knew his identity, but as long as Chen Dingtian didn't take the initiative to have a showdown, then Mo Qing would also pretend to be stupid. However, Chen Dingtian also clearly felt that this Mo Qing was very dissatisfied with the Manchu court, as if he wanted to rebel.
This Mo Qing hinted several times that he wanted to rebel and hoped that Chen Dingtian would help him. However, Chen Dingtian did not fit to join a certain rebel army directly in person, and it was better to be free here. However, since someone wants to oppose the Qing Dynasty, Chen Dingtian doesn't mind helping appropriately. Anyone who is against the Qing Dynasty is a "friend"!
This Mo Qing actually appeared in front of Chen Dingtian again, and asked Chen Dingtian to also tell him how to train cavalry and form cavalry troops, so that Chen Dingtian also felt that this Mo Qing seemed to really have ideas to oppose the Qing Dynasty.
"Miss Mo Qing, how big do you want to be?" Chen Dingtian asked.
Mo Qing replied: "Not much, one or two thousand!" ”
"One or two thousand? If I go, I will be able to form three or four cavalry divisions! Chen Dingtian thought.
Cavalry divisions are not the same as infantry divisions, infantry divisions may have tens of thousands of people, but cavalry divisions are only 2,000 to 4,000, which can be changed as needed. A cavalry regiment is only about five or six hundred men, which is more than half less than the infantry. However, the role of cavalry is still not small, especially in this era, cavalry has not been completely eliminated, and it can still be used as a separate branch of the army to fight alone.
However, simply letting the cavalry fight, that is, the current traditional Chinese cavalry training method has been needed on the frontal battlefield of Bushehr, and if you want to rely on cavalry to defeat the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this must be changed accordingly.
"Miss Mo Qing, if I am afraid that with the so-called cavalry of your Shandong people, it will not be easy to defeat the Mongol cavalry of the Manchu Dynasty. The Manchurian Eight Banners have decayed, but the Mongolian cavalry still retains a lot of combat effectiveness, and even the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is not weak. ”
Of course, this is the original cavalry training method, which emphasizes personal bravery and emphasizes the personal qualities of the cavalry. However, now in our time, the army has become a sophisticated machine, rather than an individual fighting in twos and threes. ”
"In the past, the infantry paid attention to assembling into a phalanx, while the cavalry paid attention to a relatively certain degree of dispersion, and this combat mode was the main combat mode in the past. Now it is not so easy to defeat the cavalry of the Mongols. Changes have to be made! And the training of cavalry is probably a year or two, which cannot be completed in a short time. ”
Chen Dingtian knew that this cavalry training was not easy, and cavalry training took more time than infantry. Even if there is a foundation, it is very difficult to even have various foundations. In particular, it will be very urgent to correct the combat methods of those cavalry in the past, from those scattered operations in the past to the methods of emphasizing collectives and intensive charges.
The French James Bond next to him replied: "Yes, Mr. Chen is right, I also know a little about your Chinese cavalry during this time." This kind of cavalry is called classical cavalry in our West, and we in the West began to develop a new type of cavalry more than 200 years ago. This kind of cavalry pays attention to the dense queue charge, fighting for a dense queue, there are almost no gaps between the cavalry, and the cavalry charges together with a saber. ”
"In such a dense queue, the enemy's traditional cavalry would be difficult to fight on a frontal battlefield. At that time, those loose cavalry will have to face the sabers of several people at the same time, and it is difficult to be able to counterattack, and it is even easy to form a local superiority in strength, and successfully kill and wound a large number of enemies. “
Mo Qing hurriedly said: "I just want this kind of cavalry!" ”
James Bond shook his head and said: "This kind of cavalry, I'm afraid it's not easy to train in front, at least for several years." In particular, it is not so simple, not only must there be strict military discipline, but even excellent grassroots non-commissioned officers to ensure that the army will not be dispersed. And after the chaos, he can reorganize the formation in time and continue to counterattack. ”
"And this process is not a short time to succeed, it must be about two years, this is still the fastest to calculate. Of course, those traditional classical cavalry are not useless, but classical cavalry is generally used in those places where reconnaissance, rapid running, harassment and other mobile battlefields are used. ”
Therefore, although formal cavalry is the mainstream of the frontal battlefield, it is not impossible to lack classical cavalry. There is no class in this world that must not be used, it just depends on where it is used. “
Modern cavalry mainly has an advantage in frontal battlefields, but sometimes it is the ancient cavalry that has an advantage. This is not absolute, and this kind of war arms and formations are not absolutely excellent or absolutely backward. War pays attention to changes from time to time and from place to place, and Chen Dingtian has seen many comparisons between the East and the West on the Internet.
Some people think that the Qin Dynasty's phalanx can definitely sweep the so-called phalanx of the Roman Empire, and some people also compare it in this way, thinking that some Western tactics can absolutely defeat certain Chinese tactics. In short, a large group of outright military idiots make such horizontal comparisons on the Internet, as if China is absolutely ahead of the West, or how.
Although this is a boast of China's awesomeness, Chen Dingtian saw this comparison method and really wanted to vomit blood! This is definitely a military idiot, not to mention whether the East and the West were able to fight back then, even if they did, are Westerners just fools and will not quickly change their tactics? In the course of war, the tactics will be constantly changed according to the situation, the enemy will be confined to the same formation, and then the enemy will be "ordered" to tie his hands and feet to fight the Chinese army?
Even the remarks of many military idiots on the Internet made Chen Dingtian very complaining, what scolded foreigners for winning with weapons, they are not considered heroes. The command ability of the so-called five-star general of the United States is not worthy of the shoes of the Chinese marshal, because the American generals rely on powerful weapons and national strength to win, and they are not heroes. If the Americans had the same weapons as the Chinese ones, the Chinese generals would definitely be able to knock them down.
This kind of Junbai statement really made Chen Dingtian speechless! Do you want the enemy to lay down their advanced weapons and fight you with the same weapons as you? According to what these military whites said, if you can't use advanced weapons, you can't change tactics, and you can't change formations at any time, then just let the enemy tie up your hands and feet to fight you.
If you have to use some types of troops to compare, isn't this the same as Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong? Different arms have different uses, and it is necessary to use certain arms to compare horizontally in some places, so it is definitely Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong.
"Miss Mo Qing, if you want to train these cavalry, you must first form a cavalry non-commissioned officer corps. It is necessary to train a group of outstanding non-commissioned officers first, otherwise it will be difficult to expand the troops to fight in the future. Excellent non-commissioned officers are the foundation of all armies, and non-commissioned officers are also squad leaders, who are known as the mother of the army and an important link in the tail of the soldiers. It is the executor of the most basic tactics, so the quality of a non-commissioned officer in an army often determines the final quality of an army. ”
"Why do I attach so much importance to the infantry regiment and the law enforcement team of the Celestial Society, because they can all be trained as non-commissioned officers, and these essences are retained, which can be regarded as the basis for the reformation of the army, and only in this way can it be regarded as a foundation that can be used as a foundation for expanding the army. After retaining these non-commissioned officers, the army can be easily reorganized, and the combat effectiveness of the reorganized army will hardly lose much, which is the role of the non-commissioned officer corps. ”
"So if you want to really train a group of troops, you have to have a non-commissioned officer corps! Miss Mo Qing, can you really come up with a group of people to train to become non-commissioned officers? Or will you be able to master them? ”
Mo Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing, I'll go and let someone come over right away, how about training with you?" Although there are too many people I can't get here, according to what you said, it's still okay to get them piecemeal and ants to move. ”
If too many people are transferred directly from Shandong, they will definitely be blocked by the Manchus. However, if you bring so many dozen or dozens at a time, it will not attract the attention of the Manchus. Even if you put on a little makeup, the Manchus would not have noticed these people at all. Now the whole world is full of displaced people, because of the displacement of people due to the fighting everywhere, and this situation is almost everywhere. So dozens of people put on makeup to become homeless, that's just too simple.
The use of ant moving can easily get those who are ready to train as non-commissioned officers, let them receive the training of modern cavalry, and learn the corresponding cultural foundation and various military disciplines, and really train these Shandong horses to become an army in the future.
Shandong Xiangma is a group of bandits in the end, and it is not so easy to train these guys into the army, and it will take a year or two at the earliest. Maybe even a lot of those poor military discipline and all kinds of impetuous guys will have to be eliminated.
This process is the same as that of the Heaven and Earth Society, to clean out those who are not strong in willpower and have too many distractions, and to remove these dross and leave the true essence. After extracting these essences, it is the basis for the real formation of the army, otherwise if those guys who are three sects and nine streams and a mess join in, it will definitely ruin all the original good things, which is the truth that a rat poop spoils a pot of soup.
Pick out the essence of these Shandong Xiangma individually, so that they can go to real training to become non-commissioned officers, and reorganize Shandong Xiangma again in the future.
"You're going to reorganize those people in our Shandong, aren't you? Yes, the lesson of this Heaven and Earth Society is not insignificant, and I know that these guys can't go directly to the army. Only when you are ready can you go to the army. Mo Qing said.
The prosperity and failure of the Heaven and Earth Society were all in Mo Qing's eyes, and of course he was very aware of this process. He has seen this process in his own eyes, and if she doesn't learn her lesson, there is really no way to live. The lessons of the past must not be careless, so she plans to continue to prepare for a few more years, especially here in Chen Dingtian, take advantage of the wind to make the boat, extract the essence of her real cronies in Shandong Xiangma, and then receive real professional training, so that she can be reborn into a group of real troops.
Otherwise, if you revolt rashly, then in the end, all kinds of messy people will join in, maybe it may seem that there are many people, but in fact it will be useless at all, but it will cause your true essence to be scattered and killed by the enemy.
This time the Heaven and Earth Society looked like an army of 300,000, but half of it was lost in one day, and all the previous efforts were completely wasted. This kind of lesson is profound, if Mo Qing doesn't know how to learn a lesson, then he is a real fool, no, he will go to the uprising, just find someone to marry and continue to live a stable life.
Since Mo Qing was willing to do so, Chen Dingtian was also relieved. Chen Dingtian knows very well that if there are no good things in these gangsters and ringing horses, and they are all dross, then it is not necessarily true. In fact, this kind of loud horse gangsters or something, they are mainly because there are too many people with various thoughts, and it cannot completely show that there are no real patriots and no real enthusiasm for revolution.
But because there are too many people mixed in these organizations, it will drag down those who really have ideals. Some of them can bring fatal damage to a pig teammate, especially the vast majority of pig teammates, and those who really have ideals are really miserable.
Extracting the real essence again, and then training and learning and training is tantamount to completely abandoning the structure of the past. In this way, the real essence is the foundation of the reorganization system, which can be regarded as a stable method.
Mo Qing is willing to do this, then it is naturally better, this is every ringing horse, bandits, bandits, etc., who want to form an army, must throw out those crooked melons and cracked dates, and then leave the essence. Or the essence is extracted and restructured, which is the basis for transformation.
"But cavalry is different from infantry! Infantry may be able to train in a few months and six months, but cavalry can't! It will take at least a year or two, Miss Moqing, you have to wait for another year or two! Chen Dingtian said.
"It's okay, isn't it just a year or two? I can afford to wait! Okay, I'm going to go and gradually transfer all my people, these people are my cronies, and some of them have a certain ability, and I will bring them in to train together, so I'm gone. Mo Qing replied.
