It is said that it is going to run faster than the Japanese, but the current situation is that China has been left behind by Japan. Japan's industry is slowly maturing, and China's industry and commerce are basically unable to handle it. The Japanese had a navy that defeated the Beiyang Fleet and the Russian fleet, but China now has only one Nanyang Fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and I heard that they can't even afford to repair their ships.

And you are developing, others are also developing, your development is facing blockades and wars, and Japan's development is now expansion.

Yang Xiaolin knew that if he wanted to run faster than the Japanese in such a situation, he could only sweat a lot more than the Japanese. Also, it is necessary to find some shortcuts to start in some places where the Japanese have not yet started!

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaolin came to the front line.

Now the encircled Russians basically have no morale, and there is no need for Chinese troops to attack, and every day Russian soldiers come to surrender. When there is no hope for a force, he is really tenacious.

Yang Xiaolin, Huang Xing, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili. The four of them walked on the forward trenches, and the mood of the front-line soldiers was very relaxed wherever they passed. Commander Yang deliberately observed the firepower configuration and troop deployment of the Beiyang side.

If according to the operational standards of this era, Beiyang is a position that is quite qualified. However, Commander Yang was quite dissatisfied after seeing it: "Baili, your position layout is not deep enough, and the personnel are too concentrated. According to the firepower of the Beiyang Army, the position in front of us is more than 500 meters wide, and 200 people are enough. But I saw that there were more than 400 soldiers in this trench, so that when the Russians bombed and machine-gunned fire, it would increase the casualties. ”

Jiang Baili didn't distinguish either, and said very frankly: "Commander, our Beiyang Army has flaws in tactics, which have been fully reflected in the battle with the Russians this time. If we hadn't surrounded this group of Russian troops, the ratio of casualties between us and Lao Maozi would have been four to one! ”

Cai Ye immediately said on the side: "Baili." The commander has a lot to say in this regard. I've investigated your battles, and if nothing else, the formation of your battles is very problematic. It is not for nothing that we volunteers are divided into two battle groups with a squad of 18 people. ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand waved slightly, signaling Cai Ye not to say any more, there are things that you say the other party can't understand. He picked up the binoculars and looked at the positions of the Russians on the opposite side, and then said: "Let's make a charge!" Aiming at the Russian positions on the opposite side, their defense force should be more than a thousand people, right? ”

Jiang Baili immediately said: "On the opposite side is the 28th Regiment of the Russian Far East Army, and the current combat personnel is 1,500 people. ”

Yang Xiaolin put down the binoculars: "Which one is our closest regiment?" ”

Cai Ye said: "The 37th Regiment of the 11th Division. Regiment Commander Zhang Chun. ”

"Just come and he will fight."

Fighting a battle and letting the Beiyang Army watch how the Volunteers charged, this is much more effective for them than their own long story.

In fact, there are many imperfections in the tactics of the volunteers, in fact, the most dissatisfied thing for Yang Xiaolin is the artillery of the volunteers. From the beginning of his battle in the mountains to the present, artillery has always been a weapon of the infantry, which is also a deformed development. It's not that Commander Yang doesn't want to change, it's that he really doesn't have the conditions.

Let's take the battle with the Japanese as an example, he worked hard to build thousands of guns, and when he fought the Japanese Second Army, he already wanted to let the artillery train it. And the artillery performance was really good at that time, but now all the artillery is lost.

Now all countries in the world unanimously believe that the artillery of the Volunteer Army is the cooperation of the infantry, that is, the artillery in the hands of the infantry, in fact, they do not know that this is the majesty of Commander Yang's inability to play the artillery. Their infantry is already quite good. If the artillery also keeps up and the armored troops come out again, then the volunteers will not be far from the World War II-level troops that Yang Xiaolin demanded.

The 37th Regiment soon arrived, and after a detailed survey of the Russian position, Zhang Chun launched an attack. Although Commander Yang's purpose in fighting this battle is to teach. But as a commander, he still scrupulously treats it as a real battle.

When he charged, Jiang Baili found that the Volunteers were very different from the Beiyang Army in the formation of the charge. Zhang Chun launched a charge with a company as a unit, if it was the Beiyang Army. The soldiers scattered and then charged, and the charge of the volunteers was known at a glance as an echelon of dispersion.

"We will never use dense formations when attacking enemy positions, because that would increase our casualties. Look at the squad at the front of us, divided into two battle groups and marching side by side, and each battle group is lined up in a triangular lineup. ”

Commander Yang's hand pointed forward, and Jiang Baili could see very clearly that the nine people in front of the volunteers were a triangle, and the three people at each point were also triangles. The distance between the soldiers was kept at about three meters, and even if a heavy Russian cannon hit, at most two or three would be sacrificed.

Behind this battle group, there were other teams following in the same formation, more than ten meters apart. On the one hand, fire support is given to the battle group in front, and on the other hand, as long as someone in front is sacrificed, someone in the back will immediately fill the position.

The three people at the top are also very particular about their firepower, one stormtrooper, one bombardier, and one light machine gunner. Their steps were not fast, their bodies were kept to a minimum as much as possible, and after the fire from behind suppressed the Russians on the opposite side, the stormtroopers did not rush to charge, but the bombardier first threw a grenade to blow up a smoke screen.

The machine gunner fired fiercely, and at this time the stormtrooper rushed into the smoke screen that had just been blown up, and then took advantage of the moment when the Russian fire was attracted by the stormtrooper, and the whole team pressed up for some distance.

Jiang Baili didn't speak, and Huang Xing on the side was even more ashamed when he saw it. Huang Daxia has always thought that attacking is to rush up and kill the opponent, as long as he is brave enough, he can do it. But the triangle of the volunteers, which alternately ran over the Russian position, told Huang Xing that the battlefield was a place where technology and knowledge were very needed.

They didn't rush quickly, but when the volunteers rushed more than seventy meters in front of the Russian position, they were much faster than Jiang Baili expected! At this time, Lao Maozi's firepower was already quite fierce, and the machine gun was firing desperately, Jiang Baili wanted to see what method the volunteers used to break through this last step.

The formation of the charge had temporarily stopped, and the Volunteers were firing at the Russians. Suppressing the opponent's firepower, the bombardiers of the whole company on the other side are quietly approaching. It was only about two minutes, when the firepower of the two sides was the most fierce, the bombardiers worked together, and the grenades flew accurately towards the Russians' positions!

The Beiyang Army also knew that grenades were used at this distance, but their grenades were all aimed at the inside of the Russian trenches, and they would be thrown behind when they used too much strength. The Volunteers were different, all of these grenades fell within a meter or two of the front of the Russian trenches, and the smoke from the explosion formed a wall of smoke, blocking the view of the attackers and defenders! In just a few seconds. The soldiers in front of the Volunteers crawled forward and approached the Russian positions quickly.

Before the smoke could clear, several volunteers had already pounced into the trench. The Volunteers seem to have added a piece of equipment, the broadsword! When the gap was torn open, there were actually some soldiers behind who rushed up with big knives!

Commander Yang is also constantly learning, a strong force does not mean how strong he is now, but he is always learning. The equipment of the broadsword was brought into the Volunteer Army by Feng Yuxiang's group of people from the previous independent division.

When Feng Yuxiang first met Wang Jinhan, the broadsword was the melee weapon of his army. Originally, this weapon didn't show any power, but when Feng Yuxiang's broadsword and Wang Jinhan's pistol were matched with each other, the soldiers were surprised to find that the combination of these two weapons was so perfect!

The other party killed with a bayonet and knocked it open with a knife. And then raise your hand and shoot! When killing the enemy, it is simpler, first shoot over, as long as you hit the opponent's body, the opponent must have a pause action, and then wipe the knife to ensure that the head falls to the ground. If you encounter a tough enemy, you will suddenly kill it. You can fight with a knife in both hands.

After two battles, this combination of weapons was popularized among the Volunteers, and the pistol and knife model quickly gained traction with the stormtroopers.

The Russians in the trenches did not have much fighting spirit, and General Gulegrevich in the back was sending a telegram asking the Russian top brass whether he could surrender these days. After the volunteers rushed into the position, there was a burst of gunfire and slashing, except for a small number of stubborn Russian troops who fought desperately. Most of the old hairs chose to raise their hands.

Jiang Baili looked at his watch, from the time he launched the charge to the end of the battle, the volunteers took a total of thirty-one minutes. One regiment fights another. Commander Yang didn't ask for any artillery support, although the Russians' lack of fighting spirit was also a factor in determining the outcome of the war, but this speed really reflected the distance between the Volunteers and the Beiyang Army.

"Commander Tiger Ben's division, a hundred miles of respect! In the future, Baili will definitely learn with an open mind, and I hope that it will not be long before our Beiyang can be as elite as the commander's troops. ”

Yang Xiaolin put down his binoculars: "No, you can't take us as our goal, we must develop faster and go further." Baili, don't say much about the current situation, you also know, when General Duan builds the base in Shandong, we will immediately put it into training. Moreover, we are going to try new modes of operation based on our firepower. I don't want you to learn from the Volunteers, you have to find a way to make our tactics better. ”

Cai Yi looked at Jiang Baili, smiled slightly, and reached out to pat Jiang Baili's shoulder. Yang Xiaolin continued: "I have also seen Beijing's defensive positions, and they must be improved. While deepening the depth of defense, it is necessary to pay attention to the role of individual trenches. The most important thing is that in the future, the construction of positions will be done by the soldiers themselves! Don't let the common people help! ”

Jiang Baili stood upright: "Yes." ”

Building trenches is not only for the training of soldiers, but also for soldiers to have feelings and trust in the trenches. Staying in a trench dug by yourself is definitely not the same as staying in a trench dug by someone else. Especially in the individual bunker, the fellow will do his best to help you dig it, but he definitely doesn't know whether you are used to putting the bullet bag on the left or right, and he will not know what to dig the bunker into, so that you can squat in it comfortably.

Later, Lei Zhenchun ran up: "Commander Yang, Commander Huang, the president asks you to go back immediately, Mr. Sun Wen has arrived." (To be continued......)
