Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 269 The Innovation of the Qing Army's Army Tactics

"The Qing army actually went out of the city to fight? Is your head broken?" Li Wan stood in the attacking team of the Daming Restoration Army, looking at the Qing army leaving the city, and sighed.

Gao Ning saw it clearly, and said: "You are making a judgment based on the strength of the two sides, because you have a deep understanding of the power balance between us and the Qing army, and you know that any resistance they make is futile. That’s why I say this.”

Li Wan snorted twice, crossed his arms and said, "That's right, in my opinion, it is the most direct way for the Qing army to open the city and surrender. It saves our troubles and saves their own lives."

"It is estimated that Dagukou is the same as Beitang. There are many Tartars in it. Have we kept Tartars alive so far?"

Li Wan laughed loudly and said: "Of course there is no such thing. If you want to say that His Royal Highness, what is written in the newspapers outside is good or bad, I don't understand it. I admire our prince a little--to kill the Tartars." , Exterminate their species, come to avenge the ruin of Shenzhou, feel free!"

Gao Ning directly exposed him: "You can only read newspapers for a few days."

Li Wan still pouted his neck and said, "So what, I'm a literate person now, and I can read and read newspapers! What's the use of reading so many books? Look at those scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, they have read all the books. When a ghost is caught, betraying the owner and begging for glory, begging for mercy, it is not as strong as a righteous man in the rivers and lakes."

Gao Ning retorted: "Among the scholars, there are also responsible people like Zhang Qiushui and Gu Yanwu. The prince is also a scholar, and he is still vigorous and resolute, courageous and promising."

Li Wan didn't want to debate such an issue with Gao Ning, so he took off his military cap and fanned the wind, saying, "The Qing army is about to kill them."

The marching speed of the Daming Fuguo Army here shows no signs of slowing down. Even though they drove all the way from Beitang, they didn't stop in the middle. It is reasonable to say that the soldiers are a little tired, but the soldiers still shake off the soles of their feet. Board, lined up to move forward.

"What kind of routine is this for the Qing army? Why are they divided into so many small phalanxes?" Li Wan asked in puzzlement.

Gao Ning guessed: "It's likely that they have figured out how to deal with our Ming Dynasty Restoration Army's tactics."

Li Wan sneered: "A mantis is like a cart."

Ever since the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army was born, and beat the Qing army to the point of not being recognized by their own fathers, the Qing army has been trying to find a way to understand the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army as much as possible, from their weapons and equipment to their tactics and tactics, and then find the way to crack it. road.But obviously, everything about the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army was made up beyond this era. On many levels, the Qing army couldn't understand this army.Not to mention, so far the Qing army has not figured out many basic elements of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, such as political commissars, such as the principles of firearms.

From Hong Chengchou to Zhao Butai, they all thought of many ways to deal with the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army, but most of them didn't work.The disparity in strength cannot be made up for by simple tactics and formations.

It's a pity that Man Qing couldn't understand, and he didn't have a chance to understand after all.

Luo Tuo in the Dagukou Fortress was very nervous at this time. He knew that almost every month there were letters of "unprecedented strategies" submitted to the imperial court, claiming that there was a way to deal with the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, but most of them were just nonsense. Grandstanding.The Ming army’s previous battles against the Qing army basically ended in annihilation or even complete annihilation. Especially the Tartars, very few were able to escape, and the information brought back by ordinary soldiers was fragmented, so the Qing court actually took so long It has never been possible to piece together a complete picture of the battle of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army.

Naturally, the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army under the leadership of Bai Mingxiu actually played in a variety of ways.

However, there are still a few labels that Man Qing pays special attention to, one is firepower, and the other is sports power.The guns of the Ming army were sharp, especially weapons such as heavy machine guns, which were simply terrifying.Therefore, the Qing army unified its thinking and resolutely could not form a dense phalanx to fight.Man Qing was also deeply impressed by the Ming army's speed to the point of collapse. The speed of the forced march and the ability of the troops to maneuver made Man Qing often not realize that the Ming army had already pounced on it.

The latest "military academic achievement" of the Qing army is probably the attack method that Luo Tuo has arranged now: Divided into dozens of teams, the soldiers pushed the heavy new-style shield carts, holding the large shield nearly one person high, slowly go ahead.On the other side, the same 40-man cavalry was also divided into multiple groups to attack, with the purpose of covering the advance of the "heavy armored infantry" of the Qing army.

Li Wan understood the Qing army's plan, and also laughed: "This method is indeed novel and unique."

Soon, the regiment headquarters issued orders to the companies. This response was not subtle. The Ming army immediately changed from marching in columns to splitting up and defeating the Qing army one by one.

The army tactics of the Ming army were basically flexible skirmisher line tactics and team tactics supported by artillery fire.The regiment-level firepower is 18 75mm infantry guns. The shield vehicles of the Qing army may barely be able to block infantry bullets, but they will definitely not be able to deal with artillery shells.

As soon as the Ming army's artillery fire rang out, Gao Ning led his company and began to attack.There was no way of establishing a defensive line at all. The Ming army was a typical attack-for-attack approach.

The Ming army attached great importance to heavy machine guns. Each company had a weapon platoon with two machine gun squads and a total of four heavy machine guns. The firepower was simply luxurious.

"Machine gun squad, give priority to destroying the enemy's cavalry."

Gao Ning knew very well that although the Qing army did not send many cavalry, letting the cavalry rampage on the battlefield would pose too great a threat to infantry like them.Obviously, other company commanders have similar considerations, and their priority targets are the enemy's cavalry.

As soon as the machine guns were fired, the cavalry team suffered. Although they tried their best to adjust their direction and avoid the firepower of the Ming army, the firepower of the Ming army exceeded the standard configuration, and they ignored some cavalry at all.Even the infantry threw grenades directly at them. The explosion effect of the grenade was comparable to that of a small cannon.

The infantry artillery is also capable of attacking those shield vehicles that seem to have unlocked the "composite armor" mystery.The shield chariot of the Qing army was newly built. In order to resist the obviously powerful bullets of the Ming army, the Qing army also racked their brains. The bottom layer of the front of the shield chariot is attached with a layer of pig iron, which is not too thick, and the outside is made of cloth bags. Covered with sand, a thick layer is used to stop projectiles. Even in the outer layer, bamboo strips and cotton sheets are used to increase the stopping power of projectiles.This kind of shield car really has a certain blocking effect when facing ordinary rifle bullets. When encountering heavy machine gun bullets, it depends on fate.

However, its shortcomings are also very obvious. It is very heavy, requiring eight Qing soldiers to push it behind, and it moves very slowly.The other soldiers hid behind the shield car to avoid being hit.

However, there is a thing called curved fire.
