"This formation of the Chinese allows our attacking forces to involuntarily concentrate in a relatively small area, and then their firepower can be relatively concentrated. And their use of machine guns also subverted my thinking, their machine guns are not placed on the front, but on both sides, so that they just form a crossfire, almost no dead ends. And if they defend like this, it will inevitably cause heavy losses on our attacking side. And their artillery can be used as a dispersion to suppress our attacker. ”

Adenauer explained to the Dutch officers about the formation of the Taiwanese army, and the officers were very surprised by this formation.

"General, how do we crack it?" A staff officer asked.

"It's actually very simple to crack this formation. The most effective way to crack it is to make a detour to the flank and then go behind them to flank them on both sides, so that you can break the attack. However, their backs are to the coast, and behind them is the sea, and we cannot make a detour to the sea to attack. Unless we have a navy, we simply can't make a detour. However, our navy has all been lost or surrendered to cover us. They also took advantage of the fact that we don't have a navy, and they have absolute sea dominance, which allows us to use this formation! Adenauer explained.

"Then there's nothing we can do?" Someone asked.

However, Adenauer said: "In fact, there is another way, and that is to use the coordination of infantry and artillery to attack." We use our artillery to suppress their firepower, and then take the opportunity to let the infantry attack! So when our artillery stops, I'm afraid our soldiers will also hold their guns to their heads. ”

"That's good! Why not use this method? Someone asked.

Adenauer exclaimed, "You idiots, this is only theoretical. You don't look at the army of our colony, too many people have not been trained for a long time, and they have herded sheep one by one. Originally, they wouldn't have had much to do with each other. Coupled with the fact that they have not trained for such a long time, how can they use rifle artillery coordination? I'm afraid that when the time comes, our artillery will throw shells on the heads of our own infantry, and at that time the enemy did not kill, but many of his own people died. ”

Everyone has nothing to say, the colonial forces of the Dutch are too cheating. Originally, there was a way to crack it, but it couldn't be used because of the problem of military elements. Infantry coordination is an advanced tactic that not all soldiers can play. At that time, if Wang Guorui had not had a Red Police soldier as a grassroots non-commissioned officer, I am afraid that Wang Guorui would not have been able to use the tactics of infantry artillery coordination. And the Dutch troops in Indonesia are all parallel goods, let them use infantry artillery to coordinate, that is too difficult for them. I am afraid that when the Taiwanese army does not die, then most of their infantry will be killed by their own artillery.

"It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that our army is too incompetent!" Adenauer said bitterly in his heart.

This kind of situation is obviously a way to crack it, but the soldiers under him are not powerful. Adenauer was speechless, and the victory of his hand was lost.

"This formation of the Chinese seems to be missing half of the moon, and we can temporarily call it the moon formation." Adenauer said.

And the positions of the Chinese army.

"Song Yang, this moon array of yours is really good. Not only does it save ammunition, but it also uses every ammunition where it's needed most. In this way, the pressure of our ammunition is reduced a lot, and the almost hit rate is increased several times, so that the same firepower can be used as several times. In this way, our crisis is also in contact! Li Yuanhong said.

And Song Yang also said: "This is also what I studied from ancient times, and when Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty went on the Northern Expedition, he used this kind of moon formation to fight against the northern cavalry." More than 2,000 infantry broke the enemy's cavalry of more than 30,000. That's a definite achievement. However, the conditions for the use of the Moon Array are too complicated, which makes the Moon Array not taken seriously. And that's how I came up with this method, and then used it to crack a huge number of enemies. ”

Song Yang's method is also the Moon Formation used by Liu Yu back then, and the biggest method of the Moon Formation is to use the banks of the big river and then form a formation to become a semicircle of arc. In this way, the formation of soldiers is like a bow, and the river bank is also the bowstring. However, in ancient times, it was not called a bow array. Instead, it is called the moon that looks like it is missing by half, so it is called the moon array.

And Song Yang thought of this, he thought of Liu Yu using this formation back then, when the northern cavalry attacked, the arc-shaped area of the enemy was small. In this way, the enemy involuntarily concentrates his forces to attack. In this way, the forces were concentrated, and the arc-shaped infantry took the opportunity to use bows and crossbows to fight. The crossbow could kill several soldiers at a time, so that the closer the cavalry in the north came closer, the more heavy the losses became, and finally collapsed.

Of course, strong crossbows were not used in this era, and Song Yang asked the soldiers of the Marine Division to use rifles as infantry bows of the year, and cannons as strong crossbows of the year, so that the use of them was more powerful. And the loss of the indigenous people is very huge, so they can't support it at all.

And if you want to do it, you must ensure that you fight by the river or the sea, and you must have absolute water control. At that time, Liu Yu used the southern water army to occupy the Yellow River, so he guaranteed the right to control water. And now the Taiwan side has eaten up the Dutch navy in Indonesia, so that Taiwan has guaranteed sea supremacy, and it can also use this moon formation, because the Dutch cannot attack from the sea.

Of course, the Moon Array is not without its drawbacks, and the biggest drawback is that there are too many conditions for its use. Not only must it be near the water, but it must also be done by large rivers, and the right to water control must be guaranteed, otherwise it will not be available. But how many conditions are there to guarantee the right to water production? There weren't many of this in ancient times, so the Moon Array was used once, and there was no trace. And the moon formation can't be used to take the initiative to attack, but can only be used for defense, so it's not without shortcomings.

"Division Commander Li, the Dutch have begun to retreat!" The Scout said.

And Li Yuanhong saw that the Dutch also chose to retreat, and did not choose to take the initiative to attack, so Li Yuanhong was also relieved. Because if the Dutch take the initiative to attack, the outcome is not yet known! Although Li Yuanhong's Marine Division had fierce firepower, the Dutch also had 120,000 men, and if this continued, both sides would definitely fall into a state of attrition, which would not be good for both sides. Such a state is very unfavorable for himself, so Li Yuanhong was relieved to see the Dutch take the initiative to retreat.

"The Dutch know the characteristics of our formation, so they do not choose to attack, but choose to retreat, if the enemy will be a mediocre man, maybe he will attack at any cost, so that we will fall into a state of attrition. When the time comes, our exchange ratio for this battle will definitely be much better than theirs, so that they will lose a lot. When the time comes, they will lose all their lives, and we will lose only ammunition. So we always know that they are the ones who suffer, and our army will soon come. When the time comes, all their 120,000 living forces will be exhausted with us, and they will probably suffer heavy losses. And our households are not very good, although we can fight more than 100,000 of them, but we Marine Divisions are afraid that they will also suffer heavy losses. The Dutch soldiers were not very elite, but they were all a living force. What's more, the Dutch are not the natives, although the Dutch have little training, but they are all stronger than the natives, and the weapons are better than the natives. So, if the Dutch take the initiative to attack, it will be very bad for us for the rest of the situation. Li Yuanhong said.

And Li Yuanhong knew that the commander of the Dutch this time was not simple, I am afraid that he was a smart man. He saw the situation very clearly, and knew the idea of preserving the living force. Support from the Dutch would soon arrive, he should have guessed. The Dutch would never let their most important and last colony be lost, so they would definitely send troops from their homeland. At this time, they want to try to see if they can force the Taiwan army away, and if they can force them out, then they will be very advantageous.

However, since things are no longer possible, it is necessary to find a way to preserve one's own vitality, as long as one's own vitality is guaranteed, then it can become a very important reliance. Although these more than 100,000 Dutch soldiers are not very elite, they are all "noble" Dutch, and they can't just fight them out. So he chose to retreat and wait for the local reinforcements to come, so that they could also merge with the local army, and finally be able to fight the Taiwanese army again.

"You have to be careful with this Dutch commander, he has a good eye, what is this guy called?" Li Yuanhong asked.

Song Yang immediately looked at the information of the investigation, and then said: "This enemy supreme commander is called Adenauer, more information is not clear, we can only find out one name." ”

"Well, in that case, you have to be careful with this Adenauer in the future." Li Yuanhong said.

The Dutch quickly began to withdraw their troops, and Li Yuanhong also gradually retreated to the capital of Lan Fang, Dong Wanlu, with the Marine Division, after all, the Dutch suffered a small loss in this battle. However, the Dutch did not hurt their bones, after all, the dead and wounded were all natives. However, both sides have also formed a tacit understanding, that is, to wait for the arrival of their respective reinforcements before fighting. (To be continued......)
