Beiyang reactionaries

Why are all appointed but one less appointed.

That is Wanxuancai.

Wan Xuan is the second in command of Zhang Shichen's department, and even Zhang Shichen himself relies heavily on Wan Xuan.Logically speaking, Zhang Shichen was the battalion commander, and Wan Xuancai should be the deputy battalion commander.

Duan Xun shouldn't be the one to play tricks on such things.And ever since Zhang Shichen's men left the mountain, Wan Xuancai followed Duan Xun every time he talked with Zhang Shichen.It can be seen that Duan Xun still attaches great importance to Wan Xuancai.

So everyone is very puzzled.

Duan Xun ignored Zhang Shichen's doubts and continued: "In addition to the two battalions, the troops will form a special agent company directly under the Western Henan Bandit Suppression Headquarters. Wan Xuancai."

"arrive."

"I want to hand over this army to you, do you have the confidence to take it well?"

Duan Xun liked Wan Xuancai very much.

During several encounters, although Wan Xuancai was born as a bandit, he has a rough chest.As long as he receives some formal military education, Wan Xuancai's future is limitless.Therefore, when preparing to form an assault force, Duan Xun's first consideration was Wan Xuancai.

"Don't worry, Commander, I will lead this army with my life."

Wan Xuancai answered forcefully.

Overjoyed.

Wanxuan is an ambitious person.Ever since meeting Duan Xun, Wan Xuan knew that Duan Xun came to Western Henan, and Western Henan was just the starting point for Duan Xun.Duan Xun's future is limitless.

Wan Xuan wanted to follow Duan Xun.

This has nothing to do with feelings.After all, Duan Xun and Wan Xuan have only just known each other, so there is no relationship.This is entirely because of Wanxuan who wants to make a fortune.Wan Xuan wanted to catch Duan Xun.

That's why Wan Xuan was overjoyed when he heard that Duan Xun was going to hand over the spy company to him.

This is self-esteem.

So immediately pat your chest and guarantee it.

"Okay. Wan Xuancai obeyed and appointed Wan Xuancai as the commander of the newly formed spy company."

"Yes."

"At present, I only have a regiment establishment, so I also serve as regiment commander. Jiang Hongyu will serve as the chief of staff of the headquarters and the chief of staff of the regiment. Zhang Shichen."

"arrive."

"I also want to give you a position. You also know that I am currently serving as the commander of the bandit suppression in Western Henan, and I am going to let you serve as the recruiter in Western Henan. You are very familiar with all the people in Western Henan, and let them go down the mountain within the specified time. .I give them four months, if they don't go down the mountain after four months, I can only use force."

"Yes."

Zhang Shichen responded immediately.

Duan Xun nodded, and then said to the officers below: "From now on, the army will conduct large-scale military training. However, the quality of the officers is the most important in the large-scale military training. Therefore, from now on, I will set up an officer teaching brigade. All officers must participate. Accept military education. And starting today, every two weeks each unit will have a big competition. I will regard the results of the big competition as the most important reference for future promotion."

11 Infantry Tactics

"Warfighting is a science. It doesn't mean that if I am ruthless and don't want my life, then I can defeat my opponent. If I am ruthless and don't want my life, that is the practice of fighting on the street, not fighting in the army. You need to learn to fight. This learning includes Learning in school also includes learning in war. Now our army has just been formed, and what we need is training. At this stage, you have no chance to learn how to fight in war. In this case, you can only follow me to learn some textbooks Knowledge."

"How to fight a big battle with thousands of people is not what you should care about at this stage. Because I can only lead one regiment at the moment, so how to fight a big battle, we will discuss and learn later. Therefore, I For a while, I mainly talked about the tactical issues of class and platooning."

What is the most important thing in war.

Everyone has everyone's opinion.Some people think that talented generals are important, some people think that weapons are important, and some people think that the source of troops is important.Duan Xun also has his own views.

Actually all important.

But Duan Xun believes that the quality of the troops themselves is the most important.

A team with strong qualities can achieve good results even if it is led by a mediocre person.So how to improve the quality of the troops themselves is the most important.Today's wars, including the European Army, the Japanese Army, and the Beiyang Army's tactics are relatively conservative and rigid.

After the development of hot weapons, although the tactics have been updated several times, overall, the current warfare is still relatively rigid, without much development and innovation.What Duan Xun has to do is to change this situation.Revolutionize army tactics, starting with your own troops.

"Let's first review the history of war after the emergence of hot weapons. Since the large-scale use of hot weapons, many styles of play in the cold weapon era have been eliminated. Including the powerful cavalry collective charge tactics in the cold weapon era have also begun to be eliminated. Some people here You may know it, some people may not have heard of it. 50 years ago, the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing. At that time, Seng Gelinqin and the British and French allied forces fought at Baliqiao for more than four hours. According to the intensive firepower and bombardment of the infantry of the British and French allied forces fighting in the trenches, more than 2 people were killed or injured in more than four hours. The tactics of the cold weapon era have completely failed."

"And what is the combat tactics of hot weapons at this time..."

Duan Xun spent almost an hour briefly talking about the changes in infantry tactics in the world over the past few hundred years.Especially how infantry tactics changed as weapons changed.

It's not just theory, Duan Xun also talked about a lot of war history when he talked, so that they can fully understand.

Military students like Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang have learned most of these histories.Because as China began to train the new army, one of the first things the military academy talked about was the history of the development of hot weapons.But Zhang Shichen and the others never knew such knowledge, and it was the first time that they had a relatively complete understanding of the development of the world's military.It was the first time for them to hear the war in the era of hot weapons so clearly.Even some of them are illiterate, listening to Duan Xun's words is like listening to a scripture.

"In recent years, with the emergence of heavy machine guns, the development of artillery, and the emergence of trenches, infantry tactics have begun to undergo new changes. What I want to talk about today is the changes in infantry tactics under the new situation."

"I'll start with the tactics of the smallest class. Let me ask you a little question first."

Duan Xun drew a picture on the blackboard.While drawing, he said: "This is the enemy's defensive position. They have set up their defense line here. Our army is below. The height is... and the distance is.... We want to break through their defense line, occupy their defense area, and How to fight. Shiying, tell me.”

"This one……"

Zhang Shiying scratched her head.

Originally, Zhang Shiying's temper was not like this.But now that he was in class, he was a little hesitant.Because he had never attended a class like this since he was a child, it was the first time he was named by the teacher when he was so old.

"Say, it's okay."

"Commander, what do you think? To fight a war, you need to be bold, not afraid of death, and have the courage to charge forward. Commander, didn't you say that we have a lot of people? If we have a lot of people, we can break through their defense line as long as we rush over. "

"sit."

Duan Xun smiled.

Zhang Shiying was indeed a bandit, and he fought like a bandit.Completely ignorant of how modern armies fight.But no one is born to fight.Zhang Shiying is still young, so she can learn slowly.

"Shichen, tell me."

"If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, you don't fight. Commander, you should know that we are all generals. My only principle in doing things is not to do business that loses money. If the loss is too big and there is nothing captured, then such War is worthless."

When Zhang Shichen said it, everyone laughed.What Zhang Shiying said just now, there are still people who agree with it.But hearing Zhang Shichen's answer, everyone laughed.

Duan Xun also laughed.

Looking at Zhang Shichen, Chen Ping actually liked Zhang Shichen more.This person knows his own strengths and weaknesses.So Duan Xun said with a smile: "Actually, you are right. Let me tell you, fighting is actually very simple. Fight if you can fight, and run if you can't fight."

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), tell me."

"Teacher, the premise you gave is very general, so I will give a general answer. If we have artillery, then we must first conduct a round of shelling. Then find a good position for cover. If there are roads on both sides, we must You can flank."

Li Jishen didn't just talk, but stepped forward to do some drawing homework where Duan Xun painted.
