Chapter 127: Bayonet Tactics and Playing Dead
The two squads under Xu Wenshan's current command are completely different from the peasant troops he had just formed. A good knife must be quenched with blood, and so is a good soldier. These soldiers have experienced two wars in which they won more with less, and their temperament is not far from that of regular troops.
Xu Wenshan even felt that in some respects, his troops were stronger than the troops of the current feudal state, and this aspect was "discipline".
In this era, the army attaches the most importance to soldiers on the first is "loyalty" and the second is "bravery".
And he believes that it is necessary to pay attention to "bravery" in fighting, and the main thing in fighting is "discipline".
Therefore, under his philosophy, it is impossible to say that his troops are brave, but the emphasis on discipline is far inferior to that of other troops.
Yue Feiyue Shaobao has a famous judgment about "brave": "If you can go to the battlefield, you can hold a gun, and you have a spit in your mouth, that is, you are brave." ”
People are not machines, and it is good that ordinary people can use one or two points of ability when they go into battle, so the feudal army has high requirements for soldiers to be brave.
Courage will ensure that you will charge forward, and loyalty will ensure that you will charge in the right direction. Grandpa Yue was the most perfect soldier in the feudal era, but unfortunately he also became the most tragic victim under the feudal system.
Another young Bao Qi Jiguang's experience is more thought-provoking, he led the regular army to fight against the Japanese, at the beginning often their own troops have not yet met the enemy has been defeated, and later I still saw the Yiwu people fighting in the group, for the Yiwu people in the group show the spirit of admiration, find a way to organize the Yiwu people into the main force, only to form a strong army.
The difference between Xu Wenshan's troops and other units is reflected here: no matter where you come from, no matter what your personal personality is, once you enter the team, you will involuntarily obey orders and become a member of the collective.
It doesn't matter if you're brave or not, whether you can't hold the gun or not, put it in the spear phalanx and stand for a while, you have to use it if you don't have it, and you have to take it if you can't hold it.
This is where "discipline" comes in.
However, the above was not enough for Xu Wenshan to let go of the courage to fight with the army outside the mountain, and after returning to the village, he made an adaptation of the troops under him.
Because the disadvantages of spears were too prominent, he gave up spear training. These soldiers were now armed with short sticks, and they had a long-edged spearhead hidden close to them, ready to be used as a short spear.
That's right, this thing is naturally also plagiarism, and it is the bayonet that is copied.
Xu Wenshan felt that he naturally wanted to build a musket, but he didn't have saltpeter, and with the current industrial level of Luhegou, he mobilized the power of the whole village to make a barrel, and he could probably make one in 100 days.
Although we can't make guns, it doesn't matter, our bayonets are still very advanced.
The bayonet was not a last resort when the rifle was approached, the bayonet was strong. A hundred broadswords fought with a hundred bayonets, and the losers were definitely with broadswords.
Xu Wenshan personally wrote a booklet called "Military Assassination" for the troops to study every day. The contents of this book "Military Assassination" ...... Well, naturally it is also plagiarism.
And it is also a copy of the rabbit's "People's Liberation Army Thorn".
The rabbit's bayonet technique was learned from Maozi and the book.,Maozi's bayonet technique was spelled out with the powers in Europe.,The bayonet technique of the book was learned from the powers during the Meiji Restoration.。 The bayonet technique of the great powers was made after two hundred years of colonial wars, meat grinder-like World War I and World War II, and countless dead people.
The rabbit's bayonet came first, and after absorbing the essence of all factions of bayonet techniques, combined with local experience, he created his own bayonet technique.
"People's Liberation Army Thorn" is the ultimate killing technique that really came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and the folk martial arts are completely incomparable with it.
All in all: I am the best in the world in bayonet skills in China!
"There are not many enemies, there are 5 outside the house, and no more than 15 inside the house." Xu Wenshan said to Lei Laohu and Li Dazhuang, "The enemy is not armored, there is no need to put on bayonets, the first squad assaults from the main gate, and the second squad outflanks from behind the courtyard!" ”
Lei Laohu said: "But there is no door behind the courtyard?" ”
"Knock the wall down!"
"Yes!"
The secretary on the side trembled and said, "Childe, you have something to say!" Think again! ”
Xu Wenshan glanced at this little official, and in order to prevent him from escaping in chaos, he tied him up in advance.
Li Dazhuang and Lei Laohu's troops, one in front and one in the back, had already approached the enemy. Just need Xu Wenshan's order, and they can break through together.
It was afternoon at this time, the sun was shining, the grass outside the courtyard was green, and with the sound of the whirring wind, three soldiers were lying on the rattan chairs at the door, except for a helmet to shade the sun, there was no piece of armor on their bodies. A soldier yawned lazily, and in the distance there was a song of peasant labor.
Xu Wenshan blew the whistle in his hand, and a sharp whistle pierced the sky, drawing a stop to the peaceful scene in the field.
The two squads shouted in unison, which frightened the soldiers at the gate to jump up, holding their hats everywhere to see what was happening, only to see a dozen people dressed as peasants running over, before they could see it, they had been knocked over by a few short sticks to the ground, and some struggled to crawl on the ground, trying to get weapons, and after a few more sticks, they gave up completely, and honestly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead according to the rules.
The people who are stationed in this courtyard are all rotational soldiers, and they will be rotated home after a while, and they can't be desperate at such a time. These vassal states have been fighting all year round, and the veterans are all oilers, and they will not really fight you to the death, but the army is not allowed to surrender, and surrendering back may leave a stain, so these soldiers have cultivated a tacit understanding between them: if they can't fight, they will lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, saying that I won't fight you, don't come to fight me.
As a result, this time, this group of soldiers and oilers met farmers from the mountains, and they were not very sensible. A convoy soldier tapped a soldier's helmet with the bottom of a short stick and said, "Squad leader! You see, these people are sitting here and pretending to be dead! ”
Li Dazhuang didn't understand why they were pretending to be dead, but he couldn't care much at this time, and said, "Don't care! Follow me into the yard! ”
There was a "boom", smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the mud wall behind the courtyard collapsed a large section. Originally, the wall was made of mud, not so strong, and these soldiers peed at the base of the wall every day, so the wall had already been loosened, so it collapsed when it hit.
Lei Laohu walked in with a dozen soldiers through the collapsed gap, holding short sticks, and when he saw anyone coming out to see the situation, it was a stab. These soldiers were already panicked, suffered an unexpected blow in the backyard, their morale had long since dissipated, and they scurried around the house like headless flies, and then found that there was no way out, so they put their helmets on their heads, lay on the ground, and then began to play dead.
