Chapter 385: Central Plains Bai Lang (I)
Bai Lang, a native of Henan, was still working as a farmer at home when the Yiwei Revolution broke out, because he had always been deeply dissatisfied with the old society of cannibalism, the revolutionary army immediately joined the army after hitting Henan, and because of the courage of the battle, after the unification of the country, he was recommended to enter the army non-commissioned officer school in Kaifeng (there are many army non-commissioned officer schools, and the army university is one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info) underwent training, and after completion was promoted to cavalry company commander. In order not to waste this time, Li Hui asked the Army University to increase the number of students enrolled in the army and strengthen the training of company-level cadres under the age of 30 in the army, and Bai Lang, who was born in 1873 AD, was fortunate to catch up.
However, even if he was able to enroll, Bai Lang, who was born poor and was still semi-literate before joining the army, was inevitably held back by his weak cultural foundation, after all, the content taught by the Army University was far more advanced than that of the non-commissioned officer school, and the actual combat exercises in which he was originally the most confident were also canceled because Bai Lang did not comply with the regulations of the exercise, and he almost could not graduate. The reason why it is said to be a little worse is because Bai Lang could not graduate according to the rules, but he was lucky to have the help of nobles......
After the results of the exercise were cancelled, if it was other students, it was estimated that they would only blame themselves for not taking shortcuts, but Bai Lang insisted that what was wrong was the rigid regulations of the exercise, because since the exercise was to simulate actual combat, and his own strategy was not unsuccessful in actual combat, why couldn't it be used? So, even if he didn't have much hope in his heart, Bai Lang still wrote an opinion and put it in the school's public mailbox......
Bai Lang actually wrote the letter just to vent his evil anger, but what they didn't expect was that just half a month later, a strange officer came to the dormitory to find him, saying that his opinion had attracted the attention of the superior leaders, but due to the space, it was not thorough enough, so they hoped that Bai Lang could go to Wuhan. Bai Lang didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse, so he could only get on the train to the capital with trepidation, and after arriving, he finally knew that the superior leader was actually Li Hui, the head of state who was respected as a god by the whole country!
Although he cares more about those historical celebrities, Li Hui didn't deliberately collect them, like Feng Yuxiang, who came into his eyes, he just promoted it by the way, Bai Lang's historical fame is not so big, and there are too many people who call this name, if it weren't for this opinion, Li Hui probably would never know that this young man was actually under his command.
Although Bai Lang's historical fame is not very large, a peasant who has only studied private school for more than a year, and does not have strict organizational support and correct program guidance, was able to lead a rabble of only 20,000 people at most during the period when the Beiyang Army was in full swing to fight in several provinces under the encirclement and interception of more than 200,000 Beiyang Army, and persisted for more than a year before failing, which made Duan Qirui, who presided over the encirclement and suppression, anxious, and his military talent is absolutely rare. Li Hui didn't meet it, but if he did, how could he let it go?
However, Li Hui has never been a talent determinist, such as Feng Yuxiang, if it weren't for his outstanding achievements in the military academy, he would definitely not be able to rise to prominence like now, and Duan Qirui, who is in stark contrast, is the best proof of this. In fact, what really made Li Hui pay attention to Bai Lang was the opinion letter that pointed out that the Chinese army's exercises were separated from actual combat, although it was just to vent his grievances and not write too much, Bai Lang had already pointed out the main problems, and what was particularly rare was that he also came up with ways to improve!
You know, there are many people in this world who can find problems and point out problems, but there are very few people who can solve problems, which is the main reason why Li Hui hates trolls. It is no wonder that Li Hui will rarely send someone to summon him to take the school examination in person, and even rarely leave him for dinner.
After learning that the letters in the public mailboxes of Lu University and Haida and Li Hui would take the time to read them in person, Bai Lang's admiration for the founding leader was even more indescribable. But he didn't know, in fact, Li Hui only looked at those who had been screened, and the reason why he didn't miss Bai Lang's part of the mailbox was mainly thanks to the fact that the personnel in charge of this work were serious and unselfish, of course, then again, this was originally the biggest advantage of the biochemical soldiers.
However, what even Li Hui didn't expect was that Bai Lang admired and worshipped, but he did not blindly believe and obey because of this. When they discussed the topic of military exercises before, they didn't see it, but after Li Hui talked about other topics with him, the two quickly argued......
Bai Lang believes that Genghis Khan's success in that year has a background that is difficult to replicate, and if he wants to use it against the United States, which is full of stamina and has a strong learning ability (Li Hui's own evaluation of the United States is quoted here), he will definitely suffer a big loss.
"In order to ensure logistics and mobility during Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, he adopted the extravagant configuration of one man and eight horses, which is unprecedented in human history, why can't others do it? One is that there could not be so many horses in the steppe without complete unity, which is a secondary reason; The second is that this requires a lot of manpower to be dedicated to taking care of the horses, which will greatly weaken the organizational strength of the troops, which is the main reason. Bai Lang's comment immediately attracted Li Hui's rebuttal, "According to what you say, the combat effectiveness of Genghis Khan's western expedition should be seriously weakened, so why can they still be invincible all the way and complete the unprecedented Great Expedition in human history?" ”
"The reason is very simple, because the enemy encountered in the process of the western expedition is too weak compared with Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry, even if the Mongolian cavalry can only exert general combat effectiveness, it can also be swept away, then the defects of this method of warfare to weaken their own combat effectiveness are not much related, and its advantages of better supporting logistics and team mobility are highlighted, so that Genghis Khan's western expeditionary army can hit the European ...... in one go", Bai Lang replied confidently and calmly, Then he said a conclusion that made Li Hui can't help but open his mouth wide, "That is to say, this kind of tactics has miraculous effects, but if the enemy is not much weaker than himself, he will be looking for death if he does so." If you think the U.S. military is going to be very difficult, why do you use abusive tactics against them? Isn't that a paradox? (To be continued.) )
