656th integrated guerrillas
The many actions of the Australia-Guangzhou coalition have fully proved that they will break through the siege of Liangguang to carry out the battle of reconquest, which has also brought a lot of encouragement to the guerrilla leaders in the north.
Although the guerrillas in the north were nominally commanded by Feng Zihai, their affiliation and structure were led by Liangguang, and they had an official name.
The Guerrillas of the Liangguang Enemy, the object of allegiance of this team is nominally Liangguang, but secretly many people know that most of the formation and training of the guerrillas are participated in and led by Australians.
Many of the instructors in the team are Australians, so this team is currently only subject to Australian orders.
In order to cooperate with the southern operations, the guerrillas in the north must also make adjustments, and the original decentralized operations will not actually cause much loss to the enemy, but will only leave a lot of trouble for the other side, and it can even be said that it will only leave some painless ones, and if they want to really cause great damage to the other side, they must concentrate most of their forces to fight.
From the formation of the guerrillas to the formation of more than a dozen times of concentrated operations, these dozen times caused a lot of economic losses to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so from this point of view, integration and adaptation have been imminent.
Concentrating part of the team and integrating it in the existing base area is an important step for Feng Zihai to do next.
The Dabie Mountain generation is a natural training ground and a good place to integrate the troops, with the original Dashun Army base as the mainstay, Feng Zihai asked nearly 20 teams from the surrounding provinces to move closer to the Dabie Mountain base area for reorganization.
The reorganized guerrilla force will be the first column in the Dabie Mountains, with a number of about 5,000 people, and the highest commander of the column will be the commander, and the enemy headquarters led by Feng Zihai will directly lead the operation.
In addition, the consolidation of the guerrillas in Henan, Hebei, and Shandong also continued, and the guerrillas in these three places were integrated into the East China Column.
The two columns were each shouldering different combat missions, and the formation of the column meant a major change in the armed forces behind enemy lines. It has changed from relying on sneak attacks to relying on operations to expand territory.
The leader of the column has not yet been decided, but it is certain that the commanders of these guerrilla units will be selected, and the operations of large regiments cannot be carried out using the same methods as in the past, unlike small-scale guerrilla operations, and if the troops are still led in the way of small-scale operations in the past, it will bring trouble to the entire column. At the same time, it can also cause considerable losses.
The integration plan was not proposed by Feng Zihai, but by the Army Command of the Ministry of National Defense, because the Australian side has limited troops, and the training of the new army in Liangguang will also take a period of time to complete.
The reorganization of the guerrillas in various localities into regular units had different implications for the Manchu operations, and the expansion of the enemy's strength would inevitably contain the frontal troops, but at the same time, it was necessary to regularize the reorganization and training of the guerrillas.
These guerrillas are complex, and many of them are not formally trained. Guerrilla warfare and regularized military training are two different things, and the regular army fights frontal warfare, which is different from guerrilla warfare.
So after the next integration, they should be trained more, and the team of instructors recruited from the Australian mainland has already set off for these two places to be on standby.
Their task was to train these people into regular troops, and at the same time to assist the Australian-Canton coalition forces in their counteroffensive, especially the Dabie Mountain Column, which had a heavier task, and the Australian army counterattacked Liangguang. They will directly enter Hunan, and from Hunan they will return to Jiangxi to join Zheng Sen's troops. Encirclement of Azig.
Of course, as an old combat commander, it is impossible for Azig not to even see this intention, and he will inevitably increase the training of the defenders in various places, and at the same time prevent his strategic supply lines from being cut off.
Deep in the Dabie Mountains, there is an open area, a base developed by the former Dashun Army. Later, Feng Zihai thought that this place was good, so he ordered an anti-Manchurian guerrilla force to be stationed, and now it has become the headquarters of the Dabie Mountain Column.
The Dabie Mountain Column had two regiments and five guerrilla brigades, with a total number of about 6,000 people. The guerrillas who received the news of the reorganization have basically assembled like here, and this reorganization is an opportunity for many people.
The nature of the guerrillas is similar to that of the local militia, and they do not belong to the regular army of the two provinces, and after this reorganization, they will become an important part of the new army of the two provinces, and although the Australians are the ones who command and transfer them, this does not prevent them from expecting the reorganization.
Once reorganized into a regular army, their welfare benefits must be upgraded at least one level, and they may immigrate to Australia after making military achievements.
As far as these guerrillas are concerned, they are fighting behind enemy lines, and the conditions are much more difficult than those of the Liangguang New Army, so they naturally need to be given some special benefits; the Australian Immigration Bureau naturally has no opinion on receiving this group of veterans and their families, and the advantages of a group of veterans with combat experience compared with ordinary people are still very obvious.
The obvious difference is that after they emigrate to the locality, they can be directly incorporated into the local militia, especially the overseas provinces are very fond of retired soldiers, and now almost all the main forces have been transferred to Daming, and almost all of the people who stay in various places are domestic militias.
Although the news of the reorganization of the guerrillas and the development of the column was not known to the Manchus, the unusual transfer of troops still attracted the attention of the Manchu spies, and as the assembly began, the number of guerrilla attacks also decreased, and this unusual move was discovered by the Manchus.
Judging from the trajectory of their march, they are assembling near Dabie Mountain, which is the base of the Dashun army at the beginning.
Could it be that they are really the remnants of the Dashun Army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not figured out the identity of the guerrillas, judging from various signs, they should feel that it should be the remnants of the Dashun Army, because only Li Zicheng has the ability to reduce the strength of the army to zero.
What is he going to do now, is he preparing to attack the city, shouldn't it, how many Manchu Qing his troops are very clear, and when he pursued all the way, he didn't have many troops left.
However, this unusual move must also be noted, the deployment of the troops of the generation of Dabie Mountain cannot be weakened, otherwise it is very likely to be controlled by this guy, and the strength of this generation has also been reduced by half because of the disappearance of Li Zicheng, and now it seems that the troops must be reinforced.
The forces of Quanzhou and Liangguang could not be moved, and they could only continue to mobilize troops from the north, and when Dolgon made such a decision, another piece of news was also sent that the guerrillas in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong were gathering in a certain place in Shandong.
