Chapter 39: The New Army (3)
"In other words, if my army can withstand more than fifty percent casualties without collapsing, will there be any certainty of victory in the face of the Eastern Captives?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister estimates that this is also the number. Of course, it could be higher. Although Sun Chengzong still understands the combat effectiveness of wild boar skin, he still doesn't dare to pack a ticket.
"So, if I want to win the East, it's quite difficult?" Yang reformed.
"No, Your Majesty, the minister estimates that there are not many troops who can insist on such casualties, and it is estimated that there are only 10,000 or 20,000, and the rest rely on these core armies to fight, and if these core armies are destroyed, the others are not to worry about. If you can't eliminate these core armies, then, Your Majesty, the battle with Dongyu Houjin may be more troublesome. Sun Chengzong explained.
"This ......" Yang Reform still believes in Sun Chengzong's vision. Sun Chengzong is right, there are only so many people in Dongyu, and the core military strength is definitely not very much, how many years has it been since Houjin started? Later, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were all made up. They rely on the tens of thousands of core troops, and without those tens of thousands of core troops, let alone sell their lives to the wild boar skin, it would be very good not to kill the past.
"I believe it." Yang Gengai thought for a moment and said.
Organization, discipline, will. These three are the three elements that Yang Gengai regarded as combat, and they all have a common goal, to exert more lethality on the enemy's body until the enemy collapses, or is completely eliminated. Yang Reform believes that as long as it is a person, in the face of a casualty rate of fifty or sixty percent, it will collapse, the kind of army that needs to be 100 percent wiped out, Yang Reform feels that the Ming Dynasty may not have appeared yet, and even if there is, Yang Reform feels that the human body cannot withstand bullets and cannons. Yang reformed with confidence to eliminate them.
"It seems that my new army is really not trained enough! More rigorous training is needed! The goal must be at least set at more than 50% of the casualties without collapsing, so that victory can be assured! Yang Gengai summed up such a sentence.
"Your Majesty."
"Master Sun doesn't need to praise me, by the way, Master Sun, I heard that there is a kind of chariot unit, I don't know if Master Sun has heard of it?" Yang Gengai wanted to say that he was ready to build some Ming Dynasty versions of "tanks" and "armored combat vehicles". I was afraid that Sun Chengzong wouldn't understand, so I said a general, chariot.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a chariot battalion, and there are corresponding tactics, and there are corresponding examples of warfare in our dynasty." Sun Chengzong said unhurriedly, it is really a living dictionary, what Yang Reform says, Sun Chengzong can always say that it will come out.
……
This time it was Yang Reform's turn to be dumbfounded, Yang Reform did not expect that the Ming Dynasty already had a chariot unit, as well as actual combat examples, in Yang Reform's view, with a heavy carriage loaded with iron sheets or something, it is the ancient "armored car", wild boar skin is not the strength to destroy this armored car, and then install a small cannon on the armored car, arrange a few musketeers, stand a few grenadiers who throw grenades, such protection and firepower, can be called the ancient "tank", with wild boar skin with a knife to cut, with arrow shooting combat effectiveness, it is difficult to this kind of "tank". "What's hurt. Of course, the power is a horse, or a cow.
"Master Sun, let's talk about what are the examples of the chariots in our dynasty and how they are configured. And how to fight. "Yang is quite interested in this. If that's the case, you don't have to dream back to Baidu to check any information, just apply the existing technology of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be better?
"Your Majesty, I'm towards 'Yu Long Qihu', have you heard of it?" Sun Chengzong explained.
"But Qi Jiguang? Approve? Yu Dayou? ...... "For the surname Qi in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform can't think of anyone else except Qi Jiguang, surnamed Yu, Yang Reform remembers that he seems to be very vague, and he barely remembers a Yu Dayou, and he only understands it by watching TV series."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. This chariot battalion was founded by Yu Dayou and carried forward by Qi Jiguang, and the chariot battalion is divided into light and heavy vehicles,...... The heavy vehicle was equipped with two 'Franco' guns and was equipped with 20 soldiers, and the light vehicle was equipped with 10 soldiers, each carrying food and ammunition, and ...... horses."
This! Yang Gengai exclaimed in his heart! What is it? Heavy tanks plus light tanks, plus supply vehicles, isn't this the tank armor configuration of the German blitzkrieg in World War II?
Yang's reform is imaginative. Tanks galloped on the ground, rushing a large number of cavalry, and then artillery fire, machine gun fire, cavalry fell to the ground like wheat harvesting, but the heroic cavalry still rushed to the side of the tank. Then he picked up the knife and slashed at the tank hard, leaving a "mark" on the tank, and then, mercilessly eliminated by the tank's machine gunners......
Using cavalry to attack the tank camp, Yang Gengai remembered the feat of the Soviet Union's cavalry charging German armored tanks in World War II. It can be called "tragic", Yang Reform really can't imagine what it feels like for these cavalrymen to draw a knife mark on the tank with a knife, it must be very different. Of course, in World War II, the cavalry had guns, cannons, bombs, and more grenades still had a certain amount of damage to armored vehicles.
In short, Yang Gengai was eager to see the expression on the face of the cavalry when the knife was slashed on the armored car, leaving only a mark. Then there is the scene where it is beaten into a sieve by the people on the tank.
What's wrong with the world? Why did the Ming Dynasty have such tactics and configurations? Could it be that it has been crossed? Yang Gai felt his heart pounding and was speechless for a long time. Sun Chengzong was also surprised when he saw it, what happened to this emperor, why did he have such an expression? Do you worship Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai too much?
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty......" Sun Chengzong called out to Yang Reform a few times.
"Then he said, then he said......" Yang Gengai woke up from his shock. With such a bullish chariot unit, configuration, and tactics, he was still afraid of a wild boar skin, so he drove the "tank" directly, went straight into the nest of the wild boar skin, and blitzed the wild boar skin! Leaving a name in history, Yang Reform is on the side.
……
“…… The chariot has eight foldable screens, which are laid flat on the wheels in peacetime, open and erected on one side in wartime, and the two on the very side can be moved for infantry to enter and exit......"
"Good!"
“…… When fighting, the cavalry blocks the enemy in front, and the chariots line up in battle formation behind; When the enemy approached, the cavalry retreated into the chariot formation, and the soldiers on the chariots cast firearms......"
"Good!"
“…… After the power of the firearm was issued, the infantry rushed out from behind the vehicle; After the enemy's offensive was thwarted, the cavalry attacked from behind the carts......"
"Great!" Yang Reform just danced and danced. With such a complete configuration of equipment, training methods, and combat methods, you only need to use them yourself. It's much easier than searching on Baidu, and it's more reliable and secure. After all, these are battle-tested.
"Your Majesty wants to train this kind of chariot troops?" Sun Chengzong asked.
"Master Sun, can't you? I think this chariot unit is too good to be used against the Eastern Captives. Yang Gai hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, it's good, but it costs a lot of money to train this kind of chariot troops. Your Majesty ...... "Sun Chengzong wants to speak and stops, he can't do anything without money, including you, the emperor."
"This ...... Hehe, Master Sun, don't worry, I'll get the silver. Can Master Sun be confident in training chariot troops? Yang Gai replied happily.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xinding should undergo the training of His Majesty's infantry, and after passing the qualifications, he should undergo the training of the combat methods of the chariot, so that the infantry, chariot, and cavalry can effectively cooperate, and in this way, on the basis of the will to fight, and discipline, they can be communal. What does Your Majesty think? Sun Chengzong deserves to be a veteran, and he quickly configured the training method and progress, and even the combat method.
"Master Sun is really talented, this idea is really brilliant! According to Master Sun's words. Yang Reform praised Sun Chengzong without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to remind Your Majesty that this chariot tactics have not been fought for many years, and they have been lost recently, although there are still chariot battalions in the Beijing camp, but they are all for show, and they have not fought for many years, and they are pure goods. Your Majesty wants to reproduce the chariot battalion and rely on it, and you also need to think about it in the long run...... "Sun Chengzong's basin of cold water poured from Yang Reform's head to his feet, making Yang Reform cold and transparent.
"What? ......" Yang Reform was silent, extremely depressed and annoyed. Such a good Eastern Tibetan Province was not taken out and used at home, so that the methods of war were not updated and were lost. This is as annoying as the writer at the beginning digging a pit and not renewing it, and the eunuch. This Ming Dynasty is also rotten enough, how long has Qi Shuai been dead, and the tactics of the chariot battalion will be lost? It's really a big bunch of pig-like talents.
Yang Reform can only meditate in his heart: I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates [Boss, let's eat a 6-yuan boxed lunch today to improve your life. Otherwise, I won't be able to play]. Sure enough, I'm right! With this group of pig-like teammates, the wild boar skins laughed off their big teeth!;
