Chapter 112 Unity of Command
Dick opened his mouth and replied, "General Khiva's question is good! The wars I have experienced in the past are very different from those now, but there are similarities, so let me give you an example.
"Please!"
"The so-called battleground generally refers to the city that is most conducive to logistics and transportation, we march and fight, each army has a combat radius, unless there is 100 percent logistics support, otherwise if the radius is exceeded, you need to retreat immediately, otherwise you can't go back."
"Exactly!"
"But if a supply point is set up at the limit of the radius of the force, the force can continue to move forward until it reaches the established target. This supply point is actually the equivalent of the one I just talked about."
"Well, the regulations are clear!"
"I'm not done yet, I'll tell you a story, this story says that there is a country called China, they once studied a set of art of war in ancient times, called 'Sun Tzu's Art of War', and their so-called plane is based on this set of art of war to take the first step out of the unification of mankind.
There is a place in this country called Hangu Pass, which is the only way to pass through the military, and the six countries of Kwantung jointly attacked Qin, and four times they attacked Qin from Hangu Pass.
Many people wonder, is there no other way for the Six Nations to go?
The answer, of course, is no, when the fourth joint expedition to Qin, the coalition forces did not go through Hangu Pass, but bypassed the Hangu Pass, which is a necessary way, and crossed the Yellow River from Hedong to attack Qin directly, but the result was still a fiasco. ”
"I haven't heard this story yet!"
"This story is not important, what matters is the reason for the failure of the Six Kingdoms' Western Expedition! It is nothing more than a little detour to Hedong, which will increase a great logistical burden, and the gains outweigh the losses. After weighing the pros and cons, it is the best choice to take the letter to Guguan. ”
"Hmmm! Very thorough! ”
"I'm not done yet! Don't interject! ”
"I'll go! It's obvious that you're panting, okay! ”
"After 1600, in another battle that decided the fate of this country. At that time, there was a line called Guanning Jin Line, and the two legends at that time, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, had attacked, but they couldn't take it.
Later, Huang Taiji took Xuanfu and Datong, bypassed the Guanningjin defense line, and repeatedly entered the Guannei to burn and loot. However, despite the Qing army's repeated detours to enter the customs and plunder, Shanhaiguan was always a military point that the Manchurians swore to take.
Because if Shanhaiguan is not taken, it means that the Qing army will have to take a detour, and the detour will increase the logistical burden, and it is not suitable for the army to go on the expedition.
At that time, a famous general said that a soldier eats one liter of rice a day, and this rice is not brought by the soldier himself, but by a porter who carries it with the army, but the porter also wants to eclipse a liter of rice per day.
This passage is very straightforward, assuming that 10 catties of grain can be eaten for five days, and it will cost 2 catties of grain to walk for one more day. The extra amount of food and grass spent on an extra day is a terrible amount for an army operation.
In general, in conventional warfare, soldiers need logistics to fight, and they need a stable rear to provide rest.
It's not impossible to get around the places you have to go through, but it will increase the logistical burden. Unless the attacker is able to kill the enemy center in one hit, then go back and pull out the bypassed enemy strongholds one by one.
I've been through this before, and many of my comrades-in-arms have questioned why it is necessary to attack a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Can't you get around it?
Then I simply said: some cities can be bypassed, but some really can't.
What if you don't destroy the enemy's living forces, bypass? Waiting for the enemy to poke the chrysanthemum in the rear? Then go home to replenish your blood and buy equipment! I'm done this time! ”
After Dick finished speaking, Shiva didn't bother! Rather, it fell into silence.
After being silent for a long time, Shiva clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful! Very exciting! This kind of explanation is simple and straightforward, and it is no worse than the strategy teachers at Springs College! ”
Dick said, "Thank you! But you should have something to say! ”
Hearing Shiva say this, Shiva was stunned at first, and then a little stunned, she really didn't expect that the 16 or 7-year-old boy in front of her could have such a delicate mind, completely beyond the age limit!
Khiva said: "Indeed, you just said that war requires logistical supplies, and if we really go straight into it as you say, will we cut off our own supplies!" ”
As soon as everyone heard it, they understood that this Shiva was really not given for nothing, and he was actually waiting for Dick to take the bait!
If Dick confirms his theory, he has a problem with his tactics.
If you deny your own theory, you don't answer the question.
This is a very classic 'double no proposition'!
Dick could guess how Khiva would negate him, and of course he had the weapon to refute it, and he took out a map from his bosom and threw it at Shiva!
Shiva took it, fixed his eyes, and then shouted at the herald erected in the hall, "Order: The Rosace is immediately put into combat readiness, and immediately carry out the individual supply procedure.
Order: Command of the Rose Crusaders will be handed over immediately, and Commander Dick will take unified command! ”
If we don't have the desire to deliberately pursue, we won't care about the eyes of others, and we don't have to please against our will, and life will naturally be much easier.
So don't be a slave to your desires, or you'll never be still.
And some people are the best at peeking into other people's minds, using other people's desires and desires to achieve their own ulterior purposes.
If you want to prevent this person from leading you by the nose, you must learn to disperse the bad desires in your heart.
If you don't want to, you're just!
Shiva does this better than anyone else!
When Shiva saw Dick's map, which detailed the route and a dozen supply points, she generously handed over the actual command of the Rose Crusaders to Dick!
The history of Baikalmo and the Eighth Universe took a turn here with Khiva. If Black Lightning had been replaced by another person to assist Dick, perhaps the outcome of history would have changed radically.
On the evening of the 26th, the Rose Crusade, with Dick's personal participation, broke the original establishment and reorganized according to the troops.
The current Baikalmo is still a full-class matching system, that is, almost all arms must be matched in a combat unit, and a thousand-man team is composed of infantry, cavalry, archers, etc., which is not conducive to long-distance raids, so he will match the Rose Crusader like this.
According to Dick's combat habits in his previous life, in small-scale operations, great importance was attached to the use of troops.
These five thousand men include one thousand knights direct guard, one thousand infantry troops, one thousand archers and arrows, and two thousand knights.
Dick selected 1,000 elite men as his direct guard, and the captain of the guard was Eggstein, who was also the third deputy commander.
The remaining 4,000 people were integrated into 4 thousand-man teams, each with 4 thousand-man commanders.
Dick is the commander of the regiment and of course the commander-in-chief, Sauron is the first deputy commander, Dick is officially Shiva as the second deputy commander, plus the third deputy commander Egerstein, and the four of them form the core of the Rosary Cross Army.
It is worth mentioning that Miss Lace, the Demon of the World, finally got her wish and served as the ten-person leader of the bow and arrow brigade, in fact, with her level of a level 12 archer, she could hold a higher position, but she strongly asked to start from the grassroots level.
Every minute must be cherished, Dick set out as soon as the reorganization was completed, and thus the Rose Crusaders entered the burial ground in the moonlight.
The Rose Crusaders entered the Bones Undetected by any of the forces, and they marched at a rate of 200 kilometers a day, with food and other supplies already ready at each supply point, allowing the troops to spend all their time resting or marching.
All this is thanks to the guides that Dick found at a high price, the detailed map in his hand, and the extremely detailed infiltration arrangement.
Four days after their departure, the Rosacea entered the sphere of influence of the Germain forces.
Although the villages here have not been destroyed, the villagers are sure that such days will not last long, and that a change will come soon.
Because the villages, farmhouses, and towns in the vicinity often appear in various mysterious armies, although these armies did not fight, they carried the smell of death with their own death, stimulated the towns and villages here, and spontaneously reorganized the disbanded self-defense forces.
