Chapter Ninety-One: Infantry and Artillery Coordination

With the continuous flow of weapons and materials to the camp, of course, part of the dragon to transport back to the 100,000 mountains, Wu Yunlin waited until the troops were rested, Wu Yunlin ordered the trumpeters to blow the assembly number, and after the whole battalion gathered, he announced: You are the township militia, not the officers and soldiers, so from now on you will train in a new way.

Zhao Kuo and Dumb, come here, this is the training equipment I painted, your task is to lead people to build the above equipment according to the drawings, and I will lead them to arrange the training venue. Wu Yunlin handed them a few pieces of paper, scribbled on them, which would have been recognized at a glance by anyone who had served as a soldier in the 21st century, which was training equipment for the 400-meter obstacle run, with piles, trenches, low walls, high jumps, ladders, single-plank bridges, high walls, and low-pile nets.

Zhao Kuo and Dumb looked at the drawings for a while, asked Wu Yunlin a few questions about the specifications and shapes of the equipment, and then sent soldiers to get wire saws and started to work.

Wu Yunlin called the soldiers of the first battalion together, distributed shovels and pickaxes, first measured the approximate site needed for the 400-meter obstacle run, and then assigned the soldiers to the places where the obstacles needed to be set up one by one, and began to excavate.

Wu Yunlin didn't do anything, he arranged anything for the soldiers, then took off his coat, opened the pickaxe and dug the trench bare-chested, this job is the most tiring, the trench has to be dug 2 meters deep and 2 meters wide, and he also owes himself the strength of a shoulder, which is faster than ordinary soldiers, and he is not afraid of delay.

The scorching sun of June scorched the earth like fire, the soldiers sweated like rain, whenever someone was sunburned and couldn't stand it, they saw Wu Yunlin who kept digging a trench for a moment and didn't say that he was tired, who dared to be a deserter, they gritted their teeth, clenched the pickaxe in their hands, and continued to dig the training ground.

Seeing the obstacles on the originally flat land, looking at them, their expressions also changed from casual at the beginning to solemn. In the eyes of the soldiers, this may be a bunch of meaningless ornaments, but in the eyes of these officers, it is very different, it can be seen that the obstacles laid in the field are imitating various battlefield environments, and with this ingenuity, the people present can only sigh and sigh.

After an afternoon of labor, their uniforms were torn, and the flesh on their palms and shoulders were also cracked, as if they had experienced a hard battle.

Wu Yunlin's body was also very tired, but he still cheered up, supported his heavy body, brought a pot of boiled water from the room, poured water for the soldiers to drink, and when they rested for a while, he encouraged them to stand up and line up.

The soldiers helped each other to stand up, and came to the open space to line up, Wu Yunlin put on his coat, his eyes swept over each soldier with praise, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, are you tired!" ”

"Tired!" The soldiers replied weakly.

"It's right to be tired, sweat more now, and bleed less in wartime!"

Wu Yunlin said with blazing eyes: "I know that the big guy must be scolding my mother in his heart and regretting joining my militia battalion!" But what I can tell you is that now you don't understand and complain about my orders, and once you go to the battlefield, you will thank me and thank me for forcing you to train to save your life. Brothers, it's right that our heads are hung on the waistband of our trousers when we are soldiers, but there is a way to increase the chance of survival on the battlefield, why don't you work hard, and endure hardships in order to become a master, I hope you can understand my hard work. ”

Wu Yunlin's sincere words made the soldiers very moved to listen to them, although every order he gave made everyone tired, but he was always leading by example, these were all in the eyes of the big guys, and he began to slowly condense something called prestige in his heart. Wu Yunlin turned around, pointed to the messy training ground after the shutdown and said: "The training ground that everyone has worked so hard to build in front of me, I named it 400-meter obstacle course, why is it called such a name, and it will be such training, I dare to pat my chest and say, this training method can make you have a stronger survivability on the battlefield." ”

When I heard these words, Xiong Ge's ears were even more piercing when I heard the onlookers outside, and I heard someone say unconvinced: "Lord Wu, why do you say that these wooden stakes of yours can improve their battlefield survivability, I don't think so." ”

Wu Yunlin looked sideways and saw that the person who spoke was Wu Yunlin's think tank Xiong Ge, and the military theories of Xiong Ge were naturally rich in the books, and he was quite unconvinced by Wu Yunlin's high-profile remarks.

Wu Yunlin glanced at Xiong Ge and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Xiong, what do you think?" ”

Xiong Ge said-for-tat: "Don't dare to teach, I look at the art of war books of the past dynasties, forgive me for my clumsiness, I don't know where Lord Wu's training method is, your remarks are inevitably laughable and generous." ”

Xiong Ge said this, he said at the moment: "Mr. Xiong can't see that the essence of my training method is normal, because my training method is not produced for low-intensity battlefields, and now the weapons are changing with each passing day, and the combat methods of pure infantry are far behind the world's military level. ”

"Infantry coordination?"

Xiong Ge frowned, this famous military theory was still in its infancy, at this time, the tactical level of the Qing Dynasty was still in the stage of men and horses rushing and killing, and there were very few of them who could use artillery correctly, let alone use the combination of artillery and infantry to attack tactically, which was unheard of.

He thought that Wu Yunlin was making up a word to deceive himself, and sneered and said: "What kind of infantry and artillery coordination, why haven't I heard of it!" ”

"Because that's the theory I came up with." Wu Yunlin unceremoniously put this military theory under his name, and then talked eloquently: "My 400-meter obstacle run is to train the soldiers' infantry and artillery coordination ability, what is infantry and artillery coordination, that is, before the infantry forms several echelons to launch a charge, the artillery first conducts three rounds of firepower strikes:

The first round is covered firing, that is, a rapid fire attack is carried out according to the pre-marked positions on the map and artillery observations, and the enemy's firepower points are basically destroyed.

The second round was accurate firing, and the artillery corrected the coordinates and positions according to the report after the firing, and suppressed and destroyed the fire points that were not knocked out in the first round of shooting.

The third round began to extend the artillery fire, the infantry launched a charge, and the first echelon followed closely with the artillery fire and launched an assault on the enemy position at a distance of 400 meters. This is the most basic infantry and artillery coordination, and if the troops are well-trained, I believe that this impact distance can be greatly shortened to about 200 meters! ”

Xiong Ge was frightened by Wu Yunlin's words, theoretically his tactics are completely feasible, if he really faces such an enemy, he believes that only one infantry artillery coordinated attack, the position will change hands, but such a force may not be found in the whole Qing Dynasty, take the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty as an example, a battalion of Wu Bairen only 16 artillery, some of which are still early years of city fire artillery, the equipment is old, and professional artillery is even more lacking, most of the infantry who command the artillery, where can we talk about accurate shooting, if according to Wu Yunlin's tactics to fight, I'm afraid that before I could capture the enemy's position, I was first crippled by my own artillery.

"You also said that it is theoretical, a theory that has not been verified on the battlefield." Xiong Ge emphasized, but the tone is much more vain, you can not believe in other people's theories, but you can't refute them.
