The last battle of the Bahrain Division, it was said that Duo'er led the whole regiment to press, in fact, the cavalry regiment also had regimental artillery, but it was not long allocated, and there was a lack of cooperation between the various departments and artillery companies or battalions, because before that, the artillery was an independent regiment, and the entire merchant regiment army only had two and a half artillery regiments, and the main role was in the battle of Xiaoheihekou, and the artillery also shined in that battle, and all artillery is the god of war...... However, how to cooperate well with the god of war, how to make good use of artillery, this is a relatively advanced subject, not to understand the dominance of artillery can be used well, the coordination of various arms of the armed forces is very complicated, at least now it seems that the top level of the military department has found that not only must there be an independent artillery regiment, in large-scale wartime command at the highest level of artillery regiment, at the same time, each division, regiment, and even battalion can be assigned to the artillery company according to its size and task. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For example, Ma Wu's dragoon battalion is a strengthened independent battalion, and it is also one of the training teams of the military and the military training department to jointly carry out the latest tactical tactics, and it is inevitable that the artillery company will be allocated, and the artillery of the company is generally assigned to the regimental level, but the firepower output of a regiment with only one artillery company is still somewhat insufficient.

"The brigade level seems to be only practiced during engagement." Lin Nanxing keenly noticed the difference, he said: "Judging from the new training syllabus, we pay attention to the training and cooperation between the company level and the battalion level, as well as the regiment level...... In the future, even if there is a military rank, it should be more of a command at the strategic level. I think that the most important combat unit is the company level, you have not noticed that small-scale cavalry warfare, as well as infantry phalanxes, almost all of them are company-level units as the most basic combat units, for the brigade level, regiment level, and even the division level, the priority is the entire battlefield and the comparison of enemy and enemy forces, whether the geographical terrain of the battlefield is favorable, whether it is suitable for launching a battle, and the real tactical level, is nothing more than the attack of company and battalion level units. One by one, the company level constitutes the entire battlefield, and the result of the recent discussions between us and the people of the Military Training Department is nothing more than several forms of warfare, such as assault, firepower output, firepower extension and coverage, reinforcements, and alternate assaults......"

"The company-level firepower output is also divided into several layers," mentioning the matter of fighting, Xu Zhen was full of energy, and while spitting snow, he said loudly: "The firearm is a team-level configuration, and the heavy firearm has been configured to the company, which is considered to be company-level firepower, and the artillery company is under the battalion-level command, which is battalion-level firepower. ”

Lin Nanxing said: "The civil engineering operation is also about to be tight. ”

"Yes, a small-scale war, even if it is about a thousand people, and the most urgent civil work can be of great benefit both in defense and in offense."

"Then let's calculate, the whole team assault, firepower output, fire cover, alternate assault, charge, civil engineering, as well as the foot and horse coordination we have to practice, the most basic physical fitness subjects, including daily physical fitness and equipment combat practice, but also long-distance training, and even joint cross-country training with infantry units and other training subjects, this is to be strengthened in peacetime."

"We dragoons do have a lot of training subjects...... Who called us mounted infantry? ”

"It can be said that the pure cavalry is facing the problem of insufficient attack power except for the lancers, and it is inevitable that the cavalry regiment will be completely abolished, and the lancer regiment will be strengthened, but the lancer regiment will reach the limit of two regiments at most, not only the equipment and training are very expensive, but the important thing is that it is too difficult for qualified lancer members to meet the standard. The oxen are tall and the horses are large, the horsemen are skillful, the horses are skillful, the queue is kept intact when charging at high speeds, and the spears and sabers are proficient...... If all of these standards are met, there are too few qualified candidates in the army. ”

Xu Zhen straightened his waist at this time, and said proudly: "I am qualified!" ”

Expecting the two partners to exaggerate, who knew that Ma Wu lowered his head, but Lin Nanxing touched the kettle on his waist and drank several sips of water.

Xu Zhen said: "Commander, I brought some wine, can I drink two sips to keep out the cold?" ”

"Not really." Ma Wudao: "Wine is only a temporary illusion in the human body, and then it is colder and hypothermic faster. Besides, you just want to find an excuse to drink, and if you dare to drink, Lao Tzu will tell you to get off the horse and run twenty miles. ”

Xu Zhen really didn't dare to drink it this time...... He knew that Ma Wu was not joking, he was telling the truth.

"Anyway." Ma Wu said to the two: "When we get to the place and receive the new army, we will train immediately!" ”

"The standard is according to the plan set by King Zhou Yama." Lin Nanxing said calmly: "Anyway, he is the one who is scolded." ”

Xu Zhen stuck out his tongue and said, "You guys are really black-hearted......"

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Our battalion has four companies, each company has about 156 people, plus the battalion's communication team, guard team, staff officers, military order secretary personnel, military and political personnel, and military law personnel, a total of about 680 to 700 people. If we organize it according to one brigade and three battalions, and one brigade is organized into three battalions, we have more than 2,000 people, which is equivalent to the main barracks of a general army of the Ming Border Army. ”

The three of them were thoughtful...... In the past, one battalion was the standard of three companies, a brigade might be two battalions, and normally three battalions, but now it seems that the situation of four or even five companies in one battalion is irreversible, and in the future, the brigade level is likely to be abolished or weakened, and only the brigade structure will be retained in some special places.

"Let's do our best." Ma Wu Zhengse said: "I don't know if the military department has arranged experimental training like ours in other places, but we must do our part well and do our own things for the thorough restructuring in the future." ”

Everyone nodded silently...... It is inevitable that all the cavalry regiments will be changed to dragoons, and due to the reduction of the requirements and standards for horsemanship, the dragoon regiment is likely to increase by about two regiments, originally two cavalry regiments, which may increase to four dragoon regiments within two years, or even five or six regiments, and the number of dragoons may be close to 20,000, plus the lancer regiment and the hunting cavalry regiment, the entire number of cavalry will reach Zhang Han's ideal number in a few years: 30,000 cavalry.

There were 30,000 cavalry plus 60,000 or 70,000 muskets and pikemen composed of an infantry team, plus hundreds of bronze cannons, plus 150,000 soldiers drove tens of thousands of carts, all the way to repair the Duntai military fort past, and when the controlled area arrived at the Thirteen Mountains, it was the time to sweep through Liaodong.

However, in order to achieve this goal, it is imperative to reorganize and train, and at the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the production of equipment, the improvement of logistical capabilities, the coordination of various arms of the armed forces, and the dispatch and command of large corps...... It is very reluctant to say that it is excellent, the Chahar people don't seem to have caught any opportunities, in fact, the upper echelons of the military, including Zhang Han, still understand in their hearts, in terms of scheduling and cooperation, there are also a lot of problems on their side, exposing a lot of loopholes, fortunately, the opponent is a group of pigs from top to bottom, the ability is too poor, and they can't catch it if they have the opportunity, so they can't blame their side.

However, in the future, it is not possible to fight the East as the North Captive, several small-scale war conflicts are very clear, the East Captives are worthy of being the best in the cold weapon army of this era, from the organization to the ability of the commander, the soldier's fighting will and skills, because the whole is going upward, its cohesion is not comparable to the ordinary bandit group, although the East Captives are only 60,000 ding, more than 20,000 elite soldiers, less than 30,000, plus the Mongols and Han troops of the servants are only about 100,000 people, but from the record of the Eastern Captives, Its combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to the current Ming army and the Mongols, the fighting will is strong, there are many experienced veterans, and the organization and combat effectiveness of the ordinary bannermen are not comparable to the Ming army and the northern captives, so it is still necessary to regard it as a strong enemy, and first of all, it is necessary to do a good job in their own internal strength......

These Ma Wu and the two companions around them are very clear and understandable, the three officers are with deep feelings and a heavy sense of responsibility, leading their subordinates according to the map instructions, towards the expected assembly point against the wind and snow forward, the snow does not stop, the cavalry is moving slowly in the snow, some people look back to the south, at this time where can you see Qingcheng, only hundreds of mountains have been covered by snow, like a small island between the huge waves, sometimes hidden in the clouds, the magnificence of heaven and earth, so that the cavalry of more than 100 people is like a mayfly floating in the Hanhai, It's so small.

"Ahead is the straight road to Mobei?" Zhang Yansheng pointed to a road from Xinghe Fort to Angu Linao, and said to Zhang Ziming: "Father, this road starts from Qingcheng, and the forts are connected, and the final one starts from the salt pond on the side of the Sunit Etuoke Department, connecting Xinghebao and Shangyi Fort, and connects the big and small Heihe Fort to the east, which is also the location of the Yulong Stack of the Ancient Yuan, so the adults will name this place Yulong Station Road, starting from Yulong Station all the way to the north, repairing more than 1,700 miles to the trading city, and the whole project is completed. ”

"More than 1,700 miles ......" Zhang Ziming's eyes straightened, and even the thought of being proud of his son just now disappeared without a trace, he said: "I'm afraid this is impossible, right?" How much money, how much time, manpower, and material resources will be spent on such a huge project, and how much money will it cost to be repaired next year? ”

"It's really close in the middle of next year." Zhang Yansheng explained: "Since the beginning of this spring, the military department has mobilized more than 60,000 soldiers and 60,000 people, many military facilities have been suspended, the soldiers and engineers cooperated, and the people have started to build the roads, and the roads are mainly rammed earth, and a few sections need to repair drainage and strengthen the road surface. ”

"It's unimaginable," Zhang Ziming said: "According to past experience, if the Ming government built hundreds ......of miles of roads, at least five or six prefecture capitals and dozens of counties in the vicinity were mobilized, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 people were forced to do it, and it took a few months of winter, spring and spring to barely build a look." I saw a lot when I was young, whether it was building roads or bridges, it was all about the same. ”

Zhang Yansheng didn't know much about these things, so he could only touch his head and have nothing to explain.
