Chapter Seventy-Three: A Sudden Battle

One of the sergeants wondered, "But the militia won't come here." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Someone immediately retorted, "It's not necessarily a militia, I remember, in the past, in our field troops, there were also some personnel equipped with two-year arquebuses, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, someone immediately came out and explained, "Yes, during the expansion of the army last year, because the development of new rifles was somewhat slow, some newly formed units were temporarily equipped with this old rifle to train their shooting ability. ”

"Then maybe it's our friendly forces and the enemy who are fighting each other?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The eyes of everyone present immediately focused on the company commander.

If you win, you will raise a glass and drink together, and if you lose, you will save each other desperately. It is the tradition of the Royal Army, as long as the brother troops are in distress, no matter the sword mountain and the sea of fire, they must be rescued.

Everyone is waiting for the company commander's battle order.

However, the company commander's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations: "It's not our team there." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"Not allies?"

"How is that possible?"

Even the deputy asked with some uncertainty, "Company commander, this is all fire, in this area, besides our people, who else will exchange fire with the Houjin army?" ”

The company commander motioned for everyone to be calm, and carefully explained, "This mountain range has been divided into a war zone, so the area connecting the kingdom on the periphery of the entire mountain range has been blocked.

According to the plan of the General Staff, the current time period is only the initial stage of reconnaissance and contact, so only the regular troops of the Royal Army will come here.

Moreover, the regular units of our army have completely eliminated the two-year-old arquebus as early as the first half of this year, and now only the militia units are equipped with this kind of musket.

However, militia units will only go to the front line when they are mobilized at the second level, and they will definitely not be dispatched to this frontline place at the current time point of the third level of mobilization. ”

"What the company commander said has a point."

"But what's going on now? Do you need to send a team to investigate? ”

"It's dark now, the field of vision is limited, there are no torches lit in the direction of the enemy, and it is impossible for us to find out the specific situation of the enemy."

"Then you can't wait."

Several non-commissioned officers were arguing there, and the company commander was also thinking about the gains and losses in his heart.

Now, if personnel are sent to investigate, the disadvantage of human eyes in the dark is the biggest obstacle that cannot be bypassed in night missions.

Moreover, not only will there be no visible distance between the two sides, but there is a risk of close scuffle, or a dangerous point such as getting lost and falling down the mountain.

Also, the night is the world of wild beasts, not to mention, it is an unexplored, inaccessible deep mountain and old forest.

Night missions here can be much more difficult and dangerous than night missions in the plains.

The trouble is, it's just getting dark, and it's still early before dawn.

However, he and his subordinates are soldiers of the United Kingdom of China, and soldiers must take obedience to orders as their duty.

The task of his reconnaissance company is to closely monitor the enemy's forward troops, and not allow this group of guys to take the time to penetrate into the hinterland of the kingdom and threaten the safety of the people of the motherland.

After a little weighing, the company commander stopped the discussion of the non-commissioned officers and began to give orders: "I order, first, to gather all the non-commissioned officers of a platoon, I need an assault team.

Second, all members of the commando team are equipped with emergency combat rations and high-firepower assault combat equipment.

Thirdly, collect all the revolvers in the hands of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the whole company, and I will hand them over to the commando team in a moment. ”

"Yes."

Although the non-commissioned officers were constantly arguing about whether to send troops to reconnoitre, when the company commander's order was given, there was no question.

This is the professional army of the kingdom, and before the order is issued, you can say whatever you want, and everyone can put forward their own opinions.

However, as soon as the commander who is authorized to operate gives his own orders, everyone is to carry them out unconditionally.

In less than 5 minutes, the non-commissioned officers in a platoon had already assembled and waited for the company commander to give the order.

At this point, I need to explain in detail the establishment of the kingdom's army again, after all, if you don't understand the establishment, you can't understand the combat mode of the kingdom's army.

After more than 6 years of blood and fire tempering, and constantly summing up experience, the establishment of the kingdom has also been adjusted, and there has never been a fixed statement.

The "regiment" of the special service regiment is the latest kind of establishment, and the regiment is the most important first-level administrative unit of the kingdom now, and even for a long time to come.

Under the regimental level, according to the different components of the army, such as infantry, artillery, cavalry, rangers, scouts, engineers, and communications troops, a number of units with the same combat effectiveness are combined for unified management and training.

Below the regimental level, there are many battalion-level establishments.

Among them, the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion are permanent battalion-level field troops, and under normal circumstances, they must ensure that they are fully equipped at any time, wait for the order to go out to fight, and quickly enter the battlefield.

The 3rd and 4th Battalions are the numbers of troops in some colonial areas that have not yet been fully assimilated after the planned new occupation.

For example, some of the Japanese battalions (recruited in Japan), the Mongolian battalion (recruited in the steppe), the Jurchen battalion (recruited in Liaodong), the Ninan battalion (recruited in the Vietnamese region, this place was called Ninan in the Han Dynasty, and the kingdom was preparing to revert to its old name) and so on.

The troops recruited in these areas, because they have not yet been fully assimilated and do not have the obligation of compulsory military service, are considered a semi-mercenary model.

The kingdom needs to recruit these troops, transfer them back to the country, and under the general framework of the regimental level, carry out assimilation education, fight in wartime, and use these mercenaries as a means of assimilating those occupied areas after the war, and scatter them like seeds.

The 5th and 6th Battalions are both disserviced units, and while training some recruits, they also assist the armed guard units and other teams to complete tasks such as law and order clearance in their jurisdictions, and occasionally carry out some light overseas combat missions.

When the war breaks out and the second-level mobilization mode is activated, the rack units of the two battalions will immediately be drawn from the reserves, restored to full combat status, and wait for orders to support the front line.

After the 7th Battalion, the battalion number of the 10th Battalion belonged to the kind of shadow troops that could be formed at any time by drawing deputy positions in regular field troops.

And the number after the 10th battalion is not in the planning of the Ministry of Defense for the time being.

At least, in a short period of time, if it were not for the world wars of the scale of World War I and World War II in the history of Chen Xin's later generations, it would not be needed, and it could be kept for slow planning.
