Chapter 17: Directly Subordinate Troops (II)
Wang Guorui's unit was organized in accordance with the experience of later generations, and there should be no problem with the experience of many military strategists. And the officers of this era can't find anything wrong, after all, they don't quite understand these formations. Especially the officers of the Green Battalion, who even less understood what these were. So, they were also unable to come up with anything to build yƬ. However, this is only temporary, and they will soon be able to familiarize themselves with the new combat methods, new combat modes, and as long as they fight a few battles in person, they should be able to familiarize themselves.
"Lord Wang, I suggest that we might as well gather some people with accurate marksmanship to use them. I think that if we can gather some soldiers with accurate marksmanship and use them, and then shoot accurately at the enemy's middle and low-level officers on the battlefield, and then kill and injure many junior officers, then we can also lose the enemy's organized attack, which will be of great benefit to us. One of the officers said.
"Oh? Zhao Xi, your idea is very good! Wang Guorui said.
This Zhao Xi was originally just an ordinary soldier in the Green Battalion, but he was a soldier for generations. He was able to have this kind of insight, and he could know that the concentration of sharpshooters could produce great results. And this is also something that Wang Guorui did not expect, because he was not a professional soldier in the later generations after all, and he did everything according to the cat and the tiger. Now he actually ignored the role of the sharpshooter, so that someone else could supplement it.
"Yes, the sharpshooter unit should indeed be formed. If we can snipe the enemy on the field, it will definitely be of great help to our battle. We can start by forming a company of sharpshooters, so that we can use them centrally, and we can also spread them out to various units, depending on the specific situation at that time. Wang Guorui agreed.
And Wang Guorui looked at this Zhao Xi and immediately realized that this person could focus on promotion. This Zhao Xi was originally just an ordinary soldier, but now he is also a deputy battalion commander. And his status in the previous green camp was not high, and he was only promoted when he came here, so his original background was not complicated, and he could consider taking it for his own use. At present, many of the high-ranking officers of this anti-Japanese volunteer army were recommended by Hu Wei, so it is easy to form a gang faction. If Hu Wei sets Wang Guorui in the air at that time, what will he do?
Although Wang Guorui has Red Guard soldiers under his command, he can ensure his control over the army. However, if the high-ranking officers are not of the same mind, then I am afraid that there will be some trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to promote some people from the soldier class, so that they can have a sense of belonging to this unit. After all, they didn't have any status in the Green Camp before, so naturally they had nothing to do with it, and they could leave easily. When the time comes, they will divide Taiwan, and they may not have a strong sense of belonging to the Manchus.
"Next, what else, we might as well hold a Zhuge Liang meeting to discuss what special forces to form together." Wang Guorui continued.
"Lord Wang, I have added an engineer company at the regiment level, and even an engineer platoon at the battalion level, so that the engineer strength will be stronger!" Hu Wei said.
"Oh? What do you want so many engineers to do? Wang Guorui asked.
Hu Wei went on to explain: "I think we can build up more engineers and then put them in charge of building some barbed wire." I once deduced that if we set up a barbed wire fence at the front of the battlefield, then we could stop a lot of Japanese troops. As long as the Japanese army is blocked outside the barbed wire, then our Maxinsay electric gun can completely carry out a fierce strafing fire, so the Japanese army will definitely suffer a big loss. When the time comes, we can let him come and die as much as he wants! ā
"Hu Wei, did you come up with this?" Wang Guorui asked.
"Well, I deduced this!" Hu Wei said.
Wang Guorui finally knew that these people were not stupid, and they were all able to come up with a lot of unique store tactics. Of course, Wang Guorui knew what tactics Hu Wei had in mind, which was actually the trench warfare that was mainly used in World War I. This tactic was actually to block the enemy through trenches and barbed wire, and in the end this tactic became a war of attrition. However, in this era, this tactic has not been able to be truly implemented, and there is no real formation regulation.
It was only after the Russo-Japanese War that certain regulations could be truly formed. And this tactic is inseparable from machine guns and grassroots fire support. However, Wang Guorui has so many machine guns that they are against the sky, and even the grassroots have the support of grenadiers, so the firepower density is completely many times that of the enemy, and the Japanese army will definitely suffer a big loss. And this qiÄ is based on the high efficiency of the engineering troops, so it is imperative to increase the number of engineering troops.
"That's a good idea, we can build up more engineers, so we can build fortifications faster." Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui did not feel that there was any problem with the formation of the engineering corps. Because the engineering corps does not need much money, mainly some sapper shovels, as well as barbed wire, all kinds of construction things. And the barbed wire is also very cheap in the red police system, and the sapper shovel is not expensive. The engineering unit only needs a small number of people to carry guns, and guns are not expensive. As for the cost of the Red Police soldiers, it is actually not high. All you need is a two-star Red Police engineer as an engineering and technical instructor non-commissioned officer, and that's fine.
"Lord Wang, I have a special idea, I don't know if it's okay!" Chen Liyan, commander of the artillery regiment, said.
"Oh? What are your thoughts? Wang Guorui asked.
Chen Liyan immediately said: "The Japanese army has cavalry, and according to your introduction, Lord Wang, each of their divisions has a cavalry wing. And this cavalry wing, their mobile unit, is capable of harassing us in many places. And their cavalry wing maneuvered very fast, and our infantry could not catch up. And the best way to restrain cavalry is to have cavalry. However, we do not have many horses in Taiwan, and even if we do, we cannot use them to fight, and this is our weakness. ā
Everyone suddenly fell silent, if it was the infantry of the Japanese army, then I am afraid there was still a way. However, the cavalry of the Japanese army, they can come and go like the wind, even if their firepower is not fierce, but they are very mobile. They sneaked up on a weak spot, and it was perfectly possible to escape. As for the infantry, they could not catch up with him either. Therefore, it is not easy to restrain the cavalry! Taiwan does not have war horses and cannot form cavalry.
"Lord Wang, I have an idea, we might as well form a fighting dog battalion as well. This battalion of combat military dogs has about four or five hundred military dogs, which are dedicated to combat. I have observed that although those military dogs cannot play a role in the frontal battlefield, they are used as sneak attacks, and they are also very mobile, no less than cavalry. We don't have cavalry, but we have dogs, and if we encounter enemy cavalry, we can send our canine troops to chase them down. These dogs, what a vicious bunch of dogs, these alpine tribes. A dog taught can completely bite a horse to death. ā
"Although these dogs are afraid of a lot of bullets, they can't go directly to the frontal battlefield. But against those Japanese cavalry with sabers, it was a complete nemesis! And these fierce dogs also have special effects, if we use them well, they can completely attack the supply units of the Japanese army. These military dogs are very powerful, no less than war horses, we can sneak attack the enemy's supplies when necessary, and then quickly transport them, but they can become our supplies. Even, if we use it to sneak up on the enemy's artillery, once the enemy's artillery is close to them, they will not be the match for these fierce dogs at all. After we have killed the enemy's artillery, we can quickly use the military dogs to transport the artillery away, leaving no one to the enemy. Moreover, they are all a pack of dogs anyway, and we don't have heartache when we die. ā
Chen Liyan said a lot, anyway, the effect of these military dogs is very good, the mobility is strong, and the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the enemy's cavalry, and even stronger than the enemy's cavalry. The cavalry of the Japanese army used swords, and only a small number of officers used pistols, so the combat effectiveness of these military dogs can be reflected. And if necessary, you can sneak attack the enemy's artillery, engineering troops, etc., which are not good at close combat support and support troops, which is completely miraculous. Of course, the most important point is that this military dog combat camp is mainly composed of military dogs, and there are very few human soldiers, and it is not heart-wrenching to die.
"You don't feel heartache, Lao Tzu has to spend money!" Wang Guorui complained in his heart.
Of course, Wang Guorui complained about these, these subordinate loser officers all think that military dogs are good things, anyway, they are just dogs, and they are not humans, and they don't have heartache when they die. But they didn't know that these military dogs were all made from the base by Wang Guorui. However, after hearing this Chen Liyan say this, it seems that it is really like that, and the military dogs in the red police system are still very rich. Sneak attacks, skirmishes, transportation, the identification of spies, the security of officers, are all very effective.
"In this case, then it is good to set up a military dog combat battalion, the military dogs of this military dog combat battalion are mainly combat, and are responsible for patrolling the battlefield to avoid the appearance of enemy scouts." Wang Guorui said.
"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly said.
Next, everyone also explained their opinions on the establishment, and Wang Guorui also made some fine-tuning, which can be regarded as a preliminary establishment for the directly subordinate troops of the Volunteer Army. As for the future, it will also be adapted to a certain extent according to the needs of the battlefield.
