Chapter 143 Tactical Guidance
Sameer seemed to be frightened by the disastrous defeat of the first day, and in the days that followed, the intensity of the attack was reduced to such an extent that the guards did not feel the pressure at all. The daily offense is a process. First, the remnants of the artillery were fired, and then immediately transferred, so that the artillery of the escort team could not touch the specific position of the enemy's artillery at all. The Assault Mortar was scattered among the front-line troops and could be hit by enemy artillery, and it had not been used for several days.
Only the Heavy Punch series artillery, because it is outside the effective range of the enemy's heavy artillery, is still supporting the front-line soldiers. As soon as the enemy artillery fire stopped, the musketeers touched it. In order to prevent the light machine guns from continuing to fire, the attack was chosen at night, and all metal objects on the bodies of the musketeers were removed to prevent the possibility of making noise during the march. If it were to others, such a surprise attack might even result in the troops being routed by a surprise attack. But Xiao Lin is behind the 21st century with advanced technology.
Not to mention the military flashlight, even the high-end civilian flashlights sold on the market can illuminate nearly 200 meters at night. That's because there are lights in many places at night in the 21st century, whether strong or weak, which will affect the electric light. In the 18th century, when oil lamps and torches were basically used, it was clear to see it when someone approached it from 250 meters away. After almost making the recruits suffer a big loss on the first day, Xiao Lin equipped the recruits with a strong flashlight, one for each shift, and more than a dozen pairs of batteries, which can be used casually.
Every night, ten people take shifts, holding flashlights to observe the enemy's situation. For three days in a row, the night raid was discovered by a strong light, and then after being beaten back and beaten, Sameer stopped this meaningless night raid. Sameer really has unlimited potential, and he was actually forced out of a tired plan by Xiao Lin. Every night, the British side did not stop. There were a lot of them, and a group of people were specially selected to beat gongs and drums at night to make earth-shaking movements. Trying to do this, the fighters of the company could not sleep, and thus had a nervous breakdown.
With this kind of means, Xiao Lin naturally has a way to deal with it. Don't look at the silent headphones sold on the market in the 21st century, they have no effect, that's because the businessmen are dark and haven't come up with real technology at all. When Xiao Lin himself was in the FB unit, he had a full fifteen kinds of equipment that could completely isolate the noise, and he was specially researched to deal with shock bombs. Xiao Lin naturally also has channels to buy real silent headphones. The price is not expensive, a thousand a pair, and wearing it really quiets the whole world.
Ten days later, Sameer really found that he had no recruitment. I thought of everything, tried everything, but it only worked for one day, and then it immediately lost its effect. The enemy was not only not affected, but began to train new soldiers. Treat them as sparring partners, and every day during the day, there are some instructors, training recruits in the trenches, and those voices come over, so that Sameer feels greatly insulted, and keeps selecting marksmen and trying to snipe those instructors.
But no matter how strong the marksman is, there is nothing he can do if his equipment is backward. Every sharpshooter who dared to take the lead was easily killed by the fighters of the sniper team of the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion. Sameer was completely irritable, the battle was unfavorable, the British complained more and more, and there were a lot of unfavorable messages about him circulating in the camp. Sameer had no choice but to look for Adolf's tactical guidance in the same way that his beaten son looked for his father.
The word tactical guidance is still carried forward by Dongying people. Basically, in all the anti-Japanese military dramas, when the Dongying people were defeated by the Chinese people's tactics and could not complete the pre-set tactical goals, they would have to call the commander at a higher level to ask for tactical guidance. Naturally, the Japanese commanders who asked for tactical guidance would be scolded by their superiors. Even, after the war, there will be punishment.
Sameer was lucky that Adolf was not like the Japanese commander in those TV series. Receiving Sameer's urgent distress letter, Adolf also found it tricky. Having already learned about the company's combat effectiveness, Adolf had long anticipated something unfavorable for the attack. After thinking about it before he died, he found that there was only one way now, and that was to cut off the company's logistical supplies. He thought clearly, the company's powerful existence must be extremely dependent on supplies.
Even if the bullets used by the company are different from the gunpowder and bullets they use, the rate of fire and the consumption of bullets are several times that of theirs. The three newly occupied towns did not have any industrial base in the first place. The North American continent was not only British, most of the industrial facilities were located in the colonial center, and only those factories that could not mix and did not have any coveted technology would leave this area and find their own life.
The fifteen settlements conquered by the company, because of the proximity to the area of Indian activity and the French colony, did not have a single industrial facility. Therefore, he expected that these later supplies must have been transported from their original territory. Although they lost several battles, the Anglo-German army of 40,000 besieging the three new towns was only more than 4,000 people. Because the cavalry had no role in this situation, except for the rescue scouts, they were not dispatched, and now there are fifteen hundred cavalry.
Coming from the 21st century, Sholin really has no concept of horses. Feeding a strong war horse, that cost is a sea of money. From the selection of breeds, raising young horses to being able to ride and fight as adults, the high-quality forage and various anti-epidemic herbs, saddle suits, horseshoes, etc., which add up to enough to make an ordinary family a poor peasant. Compared to raising horses, it doesn't matter if it's a bicycle, a motorcycle, or a car or a van. For every money spent, a war horse must be raised.
Even if you buy an adult war horse directly, it has great disadvantages compared to mechanical creations that don't need to rest and don't need to eat, drink, and Lazar. A big truck is only 20 tens of thousands of yuan. A super-long truck, at most, is a million. The transportation force is worth hundreds of war horses. At first, Xiao Lin could only equip the company's soldiers with bicycles, and now they have begun to equip off-road motorcycles. Naturally, he no longer thinks about the war horse.
He didn't expect that this matter was a fatal weakness in Adolf's eyes. Cavalry, which still existed in the late 20th century, naturally has its own uniqueness. Guerrilla raids in the open area are a great weapon. Sameer was really happy to receive Adolf's return. Immediately follow Adolf's advice and begin to set up an attack. Because it was a single messenger, it only took ten days to go back and forth, and at this time, Ye Qianqian took the people of the logistics supply team to the middle of the supply line near the three new towns.
This time, the late-stage supply team is strong. The 10 ZB-26 light machine guns and three Maxim heavy machine guns were modified and installed on the logistics team's vehicles. Ten light machine guns, naturally, were installed in a powerful vehicle newly equipped for the logistics supply team, with three wheels on the side. Ahem, just kidding. I believe everyone will be familiar with this thing. In anti-Japanese war dramas, in various TV dramas depicting the 80s, you can often see the existence of these things.
It was used by the Dongying people to form patrols with armored vehicles to deter the heroic armed guerrillas. It was even used to escort cars or transport trucks for important people. Don't look at those TV series, these side three wheels were blown up by various grenade mines by the soldiers, but the TV series was beautified after all. In real historical materials, this simple pursuit vehicle caused a lot of casualties to the revolutionary martyrs.
The manufacturing technology of the side three-wheeler is too common, and each motorcycle factory has a corresponding reserve. Because the style was ugly, and the army no longer needed it, production was stopped for twenty years. Qu Zhenguo too, finally found this thing from the factory database. Workers don't care whether this thing is outdated or not, as long as they complete the production task on time, they will get a bonus.
The first batch of thirty vehicles were all equipped with the logistics team, because of the lack of light machine guns, and the above were ordinary soldiers with Type 17 pistols and Yanhuang Type 1 rifles. Naturally, the Maxim heavy machine gun was placed on top of the large carriage that carried the main cargo. It was also in order to provide a suitable platform for the heavy machine guns that Xiao Lin used three carriages. After so many battles, he was still able to get enough horses.
The rest of the baggage supplies were carried away by three-wheeled bicycles and four-wheeled motorcycles in towed carriages. The soldiers of the escort are the 10th Escort Battalion, which has not participated in the battle. Everyone also knows Ye Qianqian's unique status, the boss's mother has always regarded her as her own daughter, even if Xiao Lin has not expressed her position, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape the fate of becoming their boss in the end. Therefore, the battalion commander Kalai will faintly obey Ye Qianqian's orders.
Only when it is contrary to military common sense and if it would make it impossible to complete the task in time, will Calais give orders himself. In this case, Ye Qianqian naturally wants to start living a military addiction. And she didn't know that there was a cavalry numbering 1,500, divided into three groups, each bypassing the three new towns, and began to search for clues to the company's logistics supply team. At this stage, the cavalry did not have cavalry guns, only short-handled muskets as long-range firepower.
Their way of fighting is mainly based on the impact of sabers and war horses. If you can hold out until close combat without many casualties, you still have a chance of winning. If you can't break through to melee combat, or if you enter the melee phase, you will suffer too many casualties, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
