The older officers in the Chinese army all went through short-term training in the Jiangwutang, or in other words, they studied in the Jiangwutang night school.

As for the new generation of officers who began in the year of the official establishment of the kingdom, they all underwent a complete and systematic military and political education in the lecture hall, and only after passing the examination did they officially enter the army to serve.

Officers at the lowest level of platoon, company, and captain may not have a deep sense of the overall tactical planning of their superiors.

However, as long as they reach the battalion or colonel-level officers or above, their feelings will be much deeper, and these middle-level officers are quite satisfied with the current tactical transfer.

Because this is also the same as what is taught in the lecture hall.

Jiangwutang emphasized that as an officer of the Huaxia Army, when considering problems, he must be comprehensive, but at the same time, when issuing orders, he must issue clear and brief orders as much as possible.

The battle plan that is formulated must abandon those complicated, difficult to understand, and ingenious strategies as much as possible. The simpler the plan is made, the easier it is to be properly executed.

In the lecture hall, the teachers who gave lectures also gave a very special example, that is, various conspiracies described in books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Complete Biography of Yue".

Most of the strategies in these books were artificially exaggerated and tampered with by various people among the people, and that kind of strategy is absolutely not worth learning and advocating in the military.

The gossip is here for now.

The mounted infantry battalion had about 1000 men and horses. When the cavalry infantry battalion was originally used as an infantry, it had only 800 men.

However, after the expansion into mounted infantry, in order to accommodate the horses in wartime, an auxiliary soldier was added to each squad.

In addition, after the war horse, the corresponding logistics support has also increased the staffing, so there is now an establishment of more than 1,000 people.

There were more than 1,000 people in the mounted infantry battalion, plus more than 500 people in the cavalry battalion, and 400 men and horses from the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and 200 men and horses from the reconnaissance battalion.

The entire right-wing team rested every 10 kilometers or so, let the horses replenish water, and at the same time eat a little forage to replenish their physical strength, and then continue to hurry.

The troops of the right flank, soon crossed the western mountains.

Xidashan is located in the southwest of Fuzhou, less than 30 kilometers from the city of Fuzhou, and it only takes a day for the infantry, let alone the cavalry, to arrive.

It was precisely because it was not far from Fuzhou City that the number of scouts and scouts of the Houjin Army around it also began to increase accordingly.

It's just that the right flank troops are numerous, and they basically have horses, so these enemy scouts don't dare to come up to harass their own huge cavalry troops, so they can only fall from a distance and observe their own situation.

The reconnaissance cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion did not need to go to the brigade headquarters to inquire, and directly took the initiative to attack in accordance with the combat regulations, brandishing weapons in groups of three or five and began to expel the Houjin scout cavalry.

The enemy has a large number of scouts, and it is basically impossible to hunt them cleanly, anyway, the current Huaxia army does not have this ability.

Therefore, at this time, the whereabouts of his right-wing troops must have been exposed.

However, the right wing troops basically have war horses, and the movement speed is also quite fast, coupled with the existence of eagle falcons, which can make the enemy's possible carrier pigeon reporting completely invalid, so the time left for the Houjin army to report and evacuate is very short.

The officers at all levels of the right wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade were also very aware of the importance of marching speed in the current situation, and they all consciously and constantly urged the marching troops.

At the same time, non-commissioned officers and professional officers at all levels, in accordance with the summary of the training and the revision of the relevant regulations, constantly adjusted and arranged the time for riding, walking, and resting in various states, so as to avoid excessive physical exertion of the horses and bring hidden dangers to the next operations.

The company commander of a mounted infantry battalion kept running in front and back of his company with his heralds, and when he reached the front platoon, he saw that the speed of the march in front of him had begun to slow down.

He chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly ran over to check the situation, only to see that the spokes of the infantry cannon directly under the battalion headquarters were broken, and even the axle below was broken.

Several infantry gunners were sweating profusely to replace parts of damaged parts, which made the cavalry infantry team behind only walk around the slope next to it at a large angle, so that the speed of the team's march naturally slowed down.

The officer went up and unceremoniously pointed it at the butts of several gunners, and one of them gave a kick.

He exclaimed, "What's going on? Why occupy the road on the march to repair equipment? Didn't you hear the orders from the battalions before?

Our army needs to march quickly through these places, and nothing is allowed to delay the march, and if someone comes, help the handle, and push this cannon into the wasteland to the side. ”

Then, as he spoke, he led the herald and the soldiers of a squad passing by around him to help lift the gun carriage weighing several hundred pounds and put it on the wasteland by the roadside.

The road returned to normal, and the officer clapped his hands, shook off the mud on his hands, and then shouted to the soldiers passing by, "The command has already given an order, and no one is allowed to delay the rapid march at this juncture."

If there is anything in the way on the road next time, you don't need to care whether it's a car or a cannon, it's just that your king Lao Tzu is in the way, and before a new order is issued, all of them will be thrown into the ditch for me, and I will remember it clearly. ”

Two hours later, the right flank troops began to cross another river with no name.

In the past, this river really didn't have a name, because it was a tributary of the Fuzhou River that only appeared in recent years due to natural reasons such as earthquakes and weather.

The river originates in the middle reaches of the Fuzhou River, first flowing northeastward, and then, with a sharp turn, joins the Fuzhou River from the southwest.

The reconnaissance force of the right flank had reconnoitred the vicinity many days earlier, and had chosen the place to cross the river at the deepest point to the knees.

In addition, there are almost no reefs or undercurrents on the riverbed at this site, so the current speed is very gentle.

After crossing the river, it was not far from the place where the left flank troops were now building their defensive lines. As long as they go a little more, they will be able to cut off the retreat of the Houjin army in the confrontation with the left-wing troops.
