Black Iron’s Glory

The twenty-sixth chapter of the parade

Crowder slowly poked his head out of the mud pit and observed it all over the place. He found that there was no movement in the distance, and he was relieved. He turned and said to the young Mai Keke and the big man Gemy who followed him: " It’s here, take a break, put the gun, and hide it yourself, don’t expose it. Mai Jack, go to the back and tell Merd and Baker, let them hide on our left and right sides, the ambush point is here. ......"

Two months ago, Claude received another order and asked him to report to the battalion with a guard squadron. Unlike the captain of the battalion battalion, Captain Wardlov, imagined that Claude was not favored by the great Prince Hansback, but was sent to the experimental temporary establishment of the new Hansback Prince. Combat unit, cruise barracks.

The experimental battalion battalion formed by the Great Prince of Hansback was to use the aiming accuracy of the Obash three-type arquebus to achieve the purpose of shielding the battlefield. To put it bluntly, it is to deal with the scouting and reconnaissance fighting squads sent by the anti-African alliance. The information that has been mobilized by the troops and the arrangement of the artillery is no longer known to the enemy.

At most, the battlefield reconnaissance of both sides of the war was sent by the two sides as a scout, spying on the enemy's troops, and arranging the firepower configuration of the defensive positions. The enemy reconnaissance cavalry was sent to the side of the combat reconnaissance squad to hunt down. Sometimes the scouts of both sides would also kill, but these methods are not very effective. The most common situation is that the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry is running in front, and the already-fighting reconnaissance squad is chasing after it. Then, after a while, the reconnaissance cavalry of the party is at large, and the enemy's reconnaissance squad is chasing behind.

Therefore, in the war, the two sides concentrated their forces to set up their positions. The entire battlefield was a stage for reconnaissance cavalry. Generally speaking, the reconnaissance cavalry is a group of three or four, and a small team is divided into three to four groups for reconnaissance. Cooperate with each other, and often follow up with a combat reconnaissance squad to cover or respond.

There is no good way to protect the enemy from scouting the cavalry to come to the reconnaissance position. The main reason is very simple. The other side is a light ride, and the maneuverability is strong. As long as it is not close to the position, the artillery is useless. The bullet is not enough distance, and the live ammunition needs to be very good luck. The concentrated soldiers are arranged in a queue to fire, and there is no shooting accuracy and a wide coverage area. The other party only has three or four rides. It is a waste of gunpowder and guns when the fire is fired several times. So the best way is to Scouting the cavalry to deal with the enemy's detective.

However, in contrast to the reconnaissance cavalry in the Kingdom of Ovilas, the anti-Austrian Allied Coalition’s detective rides are highly skilled, and the battlefield is rich in experience. The lure and guerrilla and immediate killings all have a great advantage. A group of reconnaissance cavalry on both sides met and attacked immediately. The victory was often the detection of the anti-African five-nation alliance. For nearly five months now, the king of Ovilas lost more than 500 reconnaissance cavalry, equivalent to half. The strength of the battalion.

After the arrival of the great Prince Hansback in the city of Emis, this ineffective reconnaissance was stopped. At present, the battlefield between the two sides has become the world of the anti-African alliance. They often daringly interspersed behind the defensive positions of the kingdom, such as entering the unmanned territory. The reconnaissance cavalry who tempted or teased the kingdom attacked. If they were many, they would run. If they were few, they would immediately kill them. After winning, they would sway and sway the martial arts.

"From the personal Wu Yong and the immediate skills, we can't compare with the Qingzhou of the Cannes Principality. They are born cavalry. The first king Sterling IX once said that one to one, or ten pairs. Ten, our cavalry is not the opponent of the Canas Principality, but one hundred to one hundred, we can tie them with them. If it is a thousand to one thousand, we can suppress them and put They killed the flowers." The great Hansback prince said this to his officers.

The Principality of Canas is located on the only Cannes prairie in the eastern part of the Faurea continent, where the young people are born riders. The cavalry of the Ovilas Kingdom is a chest armor, and the rushing array team is well-disciplined and famous for its wall-type assault and fear of sacrifice. It enjoys a high reputation in the eastern part of the mainland. However, in the immediate killing skills, it is indeed not as good as the light cavalry of the Cannes.

The establishment of the battalion battalion was an idea of ​​the Hansback prince as the Red Dragon Army and the Griffin Army in the Western Front. He was very keen to note that although the Obash three-type arquebus was attacked by many soldiers, There are still many veterans who like to use this gun.

According to them, this gun has its own unique advantages in aiming and precise shooting. Once a veteran of the Red Dragon Legion used this gun to attack and knock off an artillery firing group above the enemy city. The artillery was lost, and the attacking forces took advantage of the firepower left by the artillery to capture the castle, leaving the hunter of Hansback, who was watching the battle, very impressed.

Therefore, on the first day of the arrival of the city of Eames, the great prince heard that he could not carry out reconnaissance of the enemy at the military meeting. The enemy’s detective ride out and dominated the battlefield between the two sides. His Royal Highness remembered the precise shooting exercise of the guard squadron that he saw at the entrance to the mountain road. He decided to form a pilot combat unit battalion and let the attendant pick up Captain Wardlov from the bed in the middle of the night. Let him turn over the file of the guard squadron guarding the entrance to the mountain road.

Claude came to the temporary experimental combat unit of the battalion battalion. If there is a regrettable drug to buy, Claude will definitely buy a large swallow. Why did he train himself to train his own garrison when he was crossing the mountain, and he couldn’t do it well? He had to train there, and the result was seen by the big prince. Captain Wardlov thought that Will you be able to fly to the sky and fly to the battlefield?

On the first day of entering the battalion battalion, Claude learned from the mouth of the splayed squad, Lieutenant Colonel, that the mission of the battalion battalion was to ambush the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry on the battlefield, obscuring the defensive positions of the enemy and not being enemies. The detective ride enters and makes the position on the side of the enemy become the intelligence black spot of the enemy. Whether it is the movement of the troops or the configuration of the firepower, the enemy must be prevented from detecting...

Speaking lightly, is the infantry against the cavalry so good, although the Obas three-type arquebus is the only musket in the kingdom that can accurately aim and shoot, but this sure shooting distance is only one. One hundred meters. For the light cavalry, it takes only a dozen seconds for a hundred meters to reach you. You only have a chance to shoot a shot...

Claude is very skeptical that the Hansback prince formed this battalion battalion to take the squatting strategy against the captain and use the infantry to exchange the enemy patrol scouts. Even if an infantry fired a shot and killed a detective, and then was hacked to death by another detective, then from the exchange, the kingdom is still earning. After all, mastering the precise shooting aim of the Obash three-type arquebus is very simple. Three points and one line, sinking and hiding, and so on, find that the enemy is aiming to shoot, and the enemy has to train a good scout but needs a lot of money. .

It’s just that there’s no way to go to the cruise camp Claude. Fortunately, the rainy season in March is coming soon. Claude still has time to do some preparatory work, increase the training intensity of his guard squadron, and tell his team members. Some of the points that need attention in concealing and retreating on the battlefield. The responsible officer of the battalion battalion, the Lieutenant Colonel Rosler, who has been holding a splayed singer, has been tested by a second-line corps, and the soldiers with good shooting scores have been transferred to the battalion camp, ready to wait for the weather. Let them go to the battlefield to find the enemy's detectives and fight hard...

From the perspective of the effectiveness of the battlefield, the purpose of the establishment and establishment of this battalion battalion by the Great Hansback Prince has been achieved. The scope of the enemy's detective action is limited to the side of their own position, and they can no longer rush to the back of the kingdom's position for reconnaissance. They are very afraid of the sudden sound of fire guns, which means that there are enemies aiming at themselves with muskets. It is likely that this gunshot will represent one side and lose one brother.

But to a certain extent, the establishment of the battalion battalion also failed, because the Hansback prince appointed an unqualified officer as the responsible director of the battalion battalion, did not dig and develop the greater operational effectiveness of the battalion. Even in the end, the battalion battalion was turned into a disciplinary battalion, and the officers and men who had made mistakes were joined. The purpose of entering the battalion battalion was to take the Obash three-type arquebus on the battlefield, kill three enemies and retrieve them. The enemy's identity nameplate can be removed from the battalion and returned to its original unit.

The result of this is that the casualty rate of the battalion battalion is too high, as Claude fears. Without any training and planning, after the end of the rainy season in April, Lieutenant Colonel Rosler, who had a slap in the face, couldn’t wait to drive the soldiers of the camp to the battlefield to ambush the enemy’s reconnaissance cavalry. In April, the battalion battalion killed and killed one-third of the soldiers. Although the treatment was good, there were no soldiers who subsequently requested to join, and even Lieutenant Colonel Rosler recruited the erring soldiers in order to supplement the manpower.

Claude's garrison squadron also lost nearly half of the people in April. The original 60 squadrons now have only 27 left, and eight in the treatments in the city of Emis. Three of them have been crippled. They have been cut off by the enemy cavalry and it is very lucky to be able to save them.

Fortunately, the four noble children are intact, first, they listen to Claude's words, and second, they are more intelligent. Claude has become the biggest ace shooter in the battalion battalion. He is also the best in the camp. No matter who asks him what to do on the battlefield, Claude will tirelessly tell them what to pay attention to and what to do. do. Many soldiers can safely return to the camp to obey Claude's warnings, and even Crowder is very popular in the camp, and is also the most prestigious officer in the camp.

But at the same time, Claude became the eye of Lieutenant Colonel Rosler, because Claude and his three conflicts broke out. If it wasn’t for Claude to kill the enemy, he would be the first in the camp. On the spot, the soldiers ordered Crowder to arrest and conduct military trials, and maybe there would be a killing of chickens and monkeys.

The first conflict was about military uniforms. Claude believed that the big red shirt and the red straight military cap worn by the soldiers are not conducive to ambush on the battlefield. They will be discovered and brought by the enemy’s reconnaissance cavalry. It is dangerous to change to a grass green or a camouflage color, and it is recommended that Lieutenant Colonel Rostever writes that Hansback’s prince will rectify the uniform color of the military battalion.

This is a very reasonable suggestion for Claude, and he is also thinking about the safety of the soldiers in the camp. But I didn’t expect Lieutenant Colonel Rosler to be furious. He said that the color of the uniform of the army of the Ovilas Kingdom was fixed from the beginning of the founding of the country. The big red means brave and fearless, the invincible army spirit, you Clayd a little What is the power of the taxi officer to propose the color of the military uniform? Do you want to betray the kingdom?

The second conflict was that Crowder suggested that the soldiers who went out to ambush should act together in groups, and it would be better for everyone to bring a gun so that they could shoot twice in a row. However, Lieutenant Colonel Rosler has already had a prejudice against Claude. He believes that Claude’s proposal is simply an enemy. The enemy can seize two muskets by destroying a soldier in a battalion.

The third conflict was that Lieutenant Colonel Rosler believed that many soldiers were lazy, went to the battlefield and did not ambush the enemy but hid it until the evening. Therefore, he asked the soldiers on the battlefield to bring an enemy's identity plate every time they came back, in order to get the rest of the next two days, otherwise continue to ambush the enemy on the battlefield.

Claude believes that this proposal is not practical. If you want to obtain the enemy's identity nameplate, it will add more danger to the ambush soldiers. Sometimes it needs to be evacuated immediately after the attack. It is very impractical to obtain the enemy's identity nameplate.

As a result, Lieutenant Colonel Rosler was furious and shouted and asked Crowder to obtain at least ten enemy nameplates in the next week, otherwise he would not want to have the right to rest...
