Chapter 341: Grinding Camp Training
The temptation is over for the Keno Expeditionary Force, but it has just begun for Yang Meng and the Blue Flag Army.
The first battle of Mengla is said to be a war, in addition to the topic of scale, there is also the problem of the system, the Yang family is not a bandit, and it is not what the Yang family should do to change places with one shot.
Behind him is the homeland, defending to the death, is what Yang Meng and the Blue Flag Army should do, war is a system, the army is also a system, a battle to test the strength, just to test the combat strength and training of the new army, the next thing to test is the medical, logistics and the army's recovery ability.
The wounded do not die, there is no shortage of food and ammunition on the front line, and the disabled army can quickly restore its combat effectiveness, all of which are an indispensable part of the army and the war system.
In the actual combat test, there are only some minor problems in the combat effectiveness and training methods of the new army, but the medical treatment has come out of a big basket, and the wounded and dead soldiers have all been carried down, and they have returned to Mengla for dozens of miles, and nearly 100 people who should not have died have died!
There is no other reason, only one excessive blood loss, although the white medicine has a miraculous effect on the treatment of injuries, but there are some injuries, the white medicine can not do anything, can not stop the bleeding, even if the person is buried with the white medicine, it will also die.
Dozens of miles away, normal people even run away, an hour of time, but for the wounded, this hour is enough to kill!
The war was too tragic, and after the tense war, the military doctors who accompanied the army were also frightened, except for sprinkling white medicine, they forgot about anything, and simply tied up to stop bleeding, if they were used, at least dozens of people could die.
The dozens of military doctors who accompanied the army were supposed to correct the law on the spot, but Yang Meng didn't do that. This temptation. The more problems that come up, the better. These dozens of military doctors are ready-made negative examples, and the effect of sending them back to the medical hall is greater, and with this lesson, it is the purpose of the temptation not to commit it again next time.
There were enough people who died on this day, and it didn't matter if you killed dozens more and dozens less. Remembering the lessons and improving is the most important thing to do.
There is no stretcher, the secondary injury caused by the long-distance carrying of the wounded is also shocking, the gunshot wound is often with bone contusion, and the secondary injury caused by the broken bone is also fatal, many of the wounded who seem to be in a good mental state become corpses after returning, most of them are also because of the secondary injury.
The following treatment was also a test of the achievements of the medical hall. Hundreds of military doctors who accompanied the army, plus the medical hall belonging to the Blue Flag Army. It is the reliance of many people who climb over the line of life and death.
This group of wounded has also become the first batch of clinical use, the medical hall drug test, this is not a cruel thing, no matter where the gunshot wound is, in this era is a fatal injury, especially the climate of Mengla, but also a factor that increases the death of the wounded, hot flashes, means infection, hurt the toe, here can be fatal.
There is still a lot of hope for life if you test the drug, and the chance of dying if you don't try it is not small.
War, for the test of logistics, is also huge, repair damaged guns, replenish guns and ammunition, so that the combat effectiveness of the army will not be weakened.
Food and drinking water are also major problems, and having enough to eat and drink is also an important factor in ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. After a battle, the dead and wounded also have to be dealt with logistically, and the burial of the burial, the pension of the bereavement, the rehabilitation of the wounded and the disabled, and the arrangement of food for them are all logistical responsibilities.
War often means a large number of dead people, more people die, and then there are epidemics, plagues, which are not much less threatening than wars, and great epidemics like pruritus are much more terrible than wars.
Epidemic prevention is the common task of the medical system and the logistics system, and cooperation in epidemic prevention is also the run-in process between the two systems.
The army is the most important of the three, medical and logistics are both for the army, and another task of logistics, replenishing soldiers, also needs to be honed.
In this battle, more than 600 people were killed, more than 400 people were wounded, and the first battalion of soldiers and horses was reduced by half.
In the era of great changes, dead people are a normal thing, the army is more cruel than the times, the dead are clear and quiet, and they have to continue to fight after burying the corpse alive, and the people who survive are more painful, adapting to killing, getting used to killing, it is a thing that destroys human nature.
With a momentary surge of qi and blood, most people can fight a few battles, but they need to adapt to the fact that they have been crawling in the pile of dead people for many years, and the so-called iron and blood is just to annihilate their own humanity, so Yang Meng has the idea of establishing a professional army.
To put it bluntly, the establishment of an army is for the purpose of killing, and the division of steel is needed, and the army of the division of benevolence and righteousness does not need this name.
To replenish a battalion of 2,000 people and fight again tomorrow is the order that Yang Meng gave to Ma Qinghu.
After this battle, Keno's expeditionary force also suffered more than half of the casualties, and the mountain monkey counted the number of fallen expeditionary forces, about eight hundred, such a result Yang Meng can still accept.
One thousand against eight hundred, the new army against the veterans, although the casualties of this trial were relatively large, it was still a victory.
The group of people who died a lot, first, was due to medical reasons, and secondly, the most stubborn bullet of the expeditionary force, shooting at close range, not to mention the accuracy, the round of shooting before hand-to-hand combat, the Blue Banner Army fell more than 200 people.
Long-distance shooting, the Blue Flag Army still has the advantage, and the small piece of copper armor on the chest has also saved the lives of hundreds of people, and this piece of copper armor has also saved the lives of many people in hand-to-hand combat.
In this battle, the new army was able to draw with the elite soldiers under Keno, and the bronze armor originally designed by Yang Meng also played a big role. Otherwise, after most of the casualties, whether the Blue Flag Army will break up is also unpredictable.
Two thousand people fell to eight hundred, Keno should not take the initiative to attack, and it should be his choice to defend the camp steadily, which is also a good opportunity for Yang Meng to train his troops, attack the military camp of the expeditionary force, let the soldiers of the Blue Flag Army slowly familiarize themselves with the battlefield, and polish this group of veterans of Keno, which is Yang Meng's purpose.
Zhilu explained the ability of the new army, and the next thing to do is to familiarize himself with the war, so that the new army is familiar with the sound of gunfire and artillery, and familiar with death. The real big war is about to begin.
The Blue Flag Army was not the most elite unit in Yunnan. The most elite troops. It is the group of troops equipped with Hall's rear-loading guns, but the so-called elite are just better physical strength and younger age, and the Blue Flag Army is enough to represent the combat power of the new army.
Half a day to integrate the disabled battalion of men and horses, and fight again tomorrow morning, Yang Meng's order gave Ma Qinghu a lot of pressure, this battle. Ma Qinghu was praised by Yang Meng, but only Ma Qinghu knew what the specific situation was.
Living people, most of the crotch is wet, this battle, not only the soldiers were frightened, but also Ma Qinghu, who took the lead, is the same, so far this crotch is also cool and cool, listening to the bullets whistling past his ears, watching a living person fall to the ground. The more the battle fought, the more afraid I became, and only I knew whether my pants were wet or not. Anyway, after this battle, there was an unpleasant smell on the bodies of the first battalion of men and horses.
Watching people fall, it's not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is hand-to-hand combat, a knife goes down, the head flies, this is better, straight up and down, a knife disembowels the stomach, that scene is the person who started it, all vomit.
When the battle was just over, everyone was frightened, but now that they have eased up, most of them have spit out their bile, and they are crying bitterly when they are a little lost and depressed, and most of them are still blank, and there are only 100 people who can laugh and talk about the war.
An order is an order, not to mention that it was an order personally issued by the third master, Ma Qinghu did not hesitate, summoned the battalion of men and horses, and from the stewards, received more than 1,000 people from Wuzhuang, hastily placed it, and dispersed the first battalion of the new group.
For this group of people, sleeping now is the best choice.
When the sun first rose, Ma Qinghu's battalion was already standing in front of the barracks of the Keno Expeditionary Force.
The cornet entered, the trombone retreated, one long and one short stood in place, the order was simple and outrageous, and after two cornets, stepping on the dew-stained grass, the Blue Flag Army pressed towards Keno's barracks.
Test artillery and artillery battles, Keno set up four artillery pieces in the barracks, which can be regarded as a majestic performance, four against ten, although Keno's four guns were all wiped out, but also destroyed the seven artillery pieces of the Blue Flag Army.
"Jack, my old friend, we're in trouble! And it's big trouble!
These two thousand people, half of them are the group of people who participated in the battle yesterday, and the other half are new soldiers, Lord Yang's army supply is very sufficient, and the determination to train the troops is not small, we have become his training ground here. ”
With a wry smile, although Keno was angry in his heart, it was not his choice to go out to fight, the strength of the Blue Flag Army was not weak, 1,200 people against 2,000 people, and another field battle, Keno Expeditionary Force would not be far from the annihilation of the whole army.
"Wait for reinforcements......"
Keno's analysis was confirmed by the actions of the Blue Flag Army, and Old Jack was also a little helpless, he couldn't dominate the decisions of the top, and the final choice still needed to be verified through the war.
Two hundred steps, three hundred meters away, Ma Qinghu stopped his army and began to prepare to shoot, this is also what Yang Meng requested, within three hundred meters, even if he stands on the wall, the power of the musket has become dispensable, hurting people, it can still be done, but killing people depends on luck.
This time, Ma Qinghu not only brought 2,000 people, but also 500 strong men from Wuzhuang, who in addition to carrying stretchers, also built a defensive earthen wall for the Blue Flag Army.
Keno will not fight casually, this Yang Meng can be sure that the period before the reinforcements arrive is the time for the Blue Flag Army to train.
Shooting, testing the range of both sides, Ma Qinghu waved his hand, and two thousand men and horses lined up, facing Keno's military camp, and began shooting training.
It is impossible not to return fire, although at a distance of 300 meters, the lethality of bullets is not great, but allowing the opponent's bullets to whizz on the heads of their own soldiers is also devastating.
Keno, who was helpless, was driven to the shelves and completely became the sparring partner of the Blue Flag Army.
In the morning, in addition to shooting, it was to build a wall, and when he saw the appearance of the earthen wall, Keno was also angry, and the army on the other side did this, which was an insult to the word soldier, but it was definitely a good way to train soldiers.
Go out to destroy the opponent's earthen wall, Keno can only think about it, digging tunnels to blow up the earthen wall, I'm afraid that these people will learn new tactics, but if it continues to be consumed like this, Keno Expeditionary Force can't stand it!
Keno, who couldn't bear it, gave up shooting and let the guns of the Blue Flag Army attack the earthen wall, but in this way, there was no interactivity, and Yang Meng also thought about the trick of forcing Kino to be a sparring partner, as long as Keno didn't show his head, let people shell their earthen wall.
The loss of seven artillery pieces was replenished in half a day, and the temporary earthen wall could not block the power of the shells, so the bombardment continued, the earthen wall could not hold out for two or three days, the earthen wall arrived, lost its reliance, and it was another field battle, and the helpless Keno could only lead the army on the earthen wall again.
Retreat, it is not possible to retreat without a military order; If you ignore it, the annihilation of the whole army is just around the corner; Fighting on the wall is to help the Blue Flag Army train; But after weighing the pros and cons, Keno still chose to be the sparring partner of the Blue Flag Army.
Sparring is not without casualties, more than ten or twenty casualties a day, both sides have to pay.
Aggrieved, resentful, helpless, compromised, one day or two until more than 20 days later, the Keno expeditionary force, there are less than 800 people left, and the ammunition is not sufficient.
"Jack, when will our reinforcements arrive, and without reinforcements, we will have to retreat! If we continue to fight, the Keno Expeditionary Force will be wiped out! ”
"Alas...... Soon! But there are not many people......"
poked the hornet's nest, and Old Jack's heart was also full of depression, but the matter has come to this point, the top management has already made a decision, and the next step is not for him to lead. (To be continued......)
