Hedong region. A certain unit of the independent brigade.

A large number of recruits were trained in the Republican Army to replenish it. When the troops are adjusted. Their veterans were not idle, in addition to their daily training, they also had to make more summaries, as well as improvements, for example, in one company, they found more than 1,500 pages of paper and more than 150 charcoal pens. The purpose of giving them paper is not to let them learn. Summary.

War is constantly improving on the basis of summing up experience. This is an important characteristic of all excellent troops.

The IRA has cultivated such a summary into a tradition. Shang Wu asked the soldiers, officers, to boldly expose their own shortcomings, and the more they exposed, the more favorable the situation in future battles would be.

"The new musket is good. However, one problem still does not tell the story, the firepower is too weak. At the time of the operation of the interdiction operation. Without the necessary firepower, we would have been easily routed if we had not been able to fire rhythmically and continuously while occupying the high ground. Even if we have muskets in our hands, there is no way to give full play to the advantages of weapons and equipment with muskets. One sergeant said. An ensign officer quickly recorded that there were more than seven or eight sheets of paper full of writing around him. Many of them are the best ideas from the soldiers, and some of these ideas will bring them a lot of development.

"Tell me about it. How can we improve? The second lieutenant officer recorded.

"I think that our infantry company, no, at least two small cannons in the infantry platoon, will do. Not too big, two inches of caliber, it should be enough. In this way, we can form a suppression of firepower, and the two-inch small cannon is not large in caliber and the firing range is not very long, but it is also more convenient for our fast-moving operations, which gives us a support point in firepower, and in this way, we will not have such a passive situation in combat. You know, most of our artillery is temporarily deployed to the company. More often, only to the level of regimental battalions. Our infantry companies are fighting. It was a great loss, the last time we fought a blockade, it was because there was no artillery. It's a big loss. All of a sudden, let the Hun cavalry seize a gap in firepower and kill it. If it weren't for a few old guys from the second squad, who rushed over with bayonets and rifles, we wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all. The whole formation will break up. I think we've suffered such a big loss. The sergeant said.

"It can be equipped with artillery. We're not running fast. Even if it's a small cannon. The speed is also very slow. It's not as fast as our infantry. They want to be bold and detouring. This requires a lot of maneuverability. This is what the "Code of Conduct" says. But when it comes to rapid intersperse, there is no artillery. Artillery also needs soldier cover, it needs shells, which add up to the weight. It takes at least four or so soldiers to advance, but if you move quickly, I'm afraid you can't do it. A corporal stood up and said.

The other soldiers nodded. They expressed such agreement.

Infantry tactics of the Republican Army, from the People's Liberation Army. It was the most classic infantry tactic of that era. Even the U.S. military should actively study it, and it is natural for the martial arts to popularize such tactics. But such tactics are based on a certain application. That is, they need a certain base of light weapons firepower. For example, light machine guns. Mortars such a point of fire support. The sergeant asked for a two-inch caliber cannon. In fact, it is equivalent to filling the gap in the machine gun. The presence of a machine gun is a point of fire support. And in the era of flintlock pistols, they lacked precisely such a point of fire support.

Artillery has not yet been widely available. There is still a lot to be done for this kind of popularization. First of all, the weight of the artillery must be further reduced, preferably to keep up with the speed of the infantry, and at the same time there are shells, and there are many types of shells, because to support the firepower, the rate of fire requirements may be higher, if such a demand is reached. This requires metallurgy. Overall progress in manufacturing processes. Obviously, such an idea is good. It may also be the need for this kind of weapon upgrade based on such infantry tactics.

But at the moment they can't do that, and a lot of people know what that is. Because in order to do this, many situations need to be adjusted. It takes too much, too much. It was not possible to reach such heights for a while. That's all there is to know.

Not only that, but the infantry tactics of the Republican Army have also developed greatly, and they are becoming more and more mature, and bold infantry interspersed, especially on some grassroots units. An infantry squad dares to intersperse on a large scale, and such tactics are quite excellent.

"We're really bold and interspersed. But let's also see who our opponent is, I think, let's go over, fight with the official army, and fight with the Montenegrin army. It's a little flirtatious. Changing opponents all of a sudden is not good for us. "At this time. Another sergeant stood up and said. When the crowd heard this, some of them were not happy. Because past records are also records.

"I mean, our opponents have changed. It's the Huns, they're not the Montenegrin Army. They also have their own combat effectiveness, and we should see that. The other party said.

"For example, interspersed, we do want to go back in time, but we find that the enemy's maneuver is faster than ours, plus they are all cavalry, mounted archery, this is a major feature of the Huns, if the two sides compare, you will find that at some point, their bows and arrows are even faster than ours in terms of range, rate of fire, of course. As the confrontation drags on, this advantage diminishes dramatically. In this case, the situation will be against them. But we have to admit that we have never faced such an opponent before. The sergeant said.

A lot of people nodded. They agreed.

"Their will to fight, and their fighting skills. Especially in terms of individual combat, there are still some excellent ones than us. These are comparable to the Montenegrin army and the official army only by elite troops, and our bold detours cannot be effectively divided. Disrupt each other. You must know that the resistance of the other side is still quite stubborn. In the previous battle with the Montenegrin army, as long as we quickly interspersed the past, the enemy basically collapsed. Begin with the enemies we are facing and their speed until we divide it. The enemy may have made a response. And he fought very tenaciously, such an opponent. We should be cautious and not underestimate it anyway. The sergeant said.

A lot of people agreed, they all felt that way, and they suspected at one point that their tactics were useless. But then they figured out something like this, and their enemies changed. It's become more powerful. First of all, their will to fight was strengthened. Because they are Huns. It is said that the Huns were born with tactics, and it was easy to train such a will to fight under extremely bad circumstances.

On top of that, their combat skills are also very good, which is unmatched by all of them, and it is too difficult for them to change such a situation in such a situation.

The second lieutenant kept recording. Although some of these discoveries are very primitive, for example, they have recorded them before. Through the seizures, it was found that the food of the Xiongnu was much better than theirs, for example, they had meat and early cheese. This allows them to maintain a greater physical advantage, while they only have biscuits that they can't bite, and in physical fitness, they lose to each other. In addition, many militias joined in the later period, and their quality in all aspects was very poor, such a battle. It's not good to fight.

Although this is only a small discovery. But suffice it to say. The IRA is not doing well enough in some areas.

They lack a firepower support point for large-scale interspersed squad and platoon tactics, without which it is difficult for them to open the opponent's passage. Also, it's better if the musket can be upgraded again, and the musket is a little more powerful in comparison. Deadly. In terms of range, rate of fire the advantage is not too obvious. This is definitely a disadvantage for the IRA. Think about it, who would put such an unfavorable situation into such a situation.

This is clearly not the one outcome they need.

Summarizing, summing up. After learning lessons. They began to work on new tactics and to overcome such problems, for example, to further increase their firepower. At the same time, find ways to make up for such shortcomings in other areas. That's the merit of the Republican Army.

A lot of soldiers are conducting such research. There are more and more summaries of various units, and they record the first feelings of many soldiers. Through this first feeling, many problems are discovered.

Constantly summing up problems, discovering problems, solving problems, and constantly improving in such a process is one of the secrets of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Republican Army.

This is a formidable opponent. Because they're constantly studying each other. Get to the bottom of each other, and wait until they've figured out such tactics. They will play to their greater strengths.

There are a lot of summary activities. And it is the staff officers who are busy. They need to find out what they need through so many reports. The number of analyses is still significant. The work intensity is very high.

But a staff officer is not something that ordinary people can do. Only smart, studious, and diligent people can achieve such a position, and they need to use their ingenuity. From this complex information. Look for a point in your favor. That's the benefit of a staff officer.
