Red Alert 1895

"Next, according to the order given to me by Lord Wang, I can cavalry between this Mongolian region as appropriate. Lord Wang gave us the establishment of two cavalry divisions. ∮, and we plan to name it as the First Independent Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Military Region, and The Second Independent Cavalry Division in the Mongolian region. The establishment of the cavalry is inevitable. Because in the Mongolian region, there are grasslands everywhere, and it is impossible for us to rely on infantry to chase the enemy's cavalry. We do not deny that our infantry has very strong firepower, but Once we fight on the prairie, no cavalry can defeat the enemy, and we will not be able to expand the results of the battle through pursuit."

"Since ancient times, cavalry have been at a disadvantage when facing infantry. When they attack you, the infantry loses and almost the entire army is wiped out. You can't run away from the cavalry, and you will only be hunted down. If you defend In the position, the cavalry can run away, but you can't catch up with them. And whether they fight, how to fight, or to what extent, the active power of the war is completely in the hands of the enemy. This is the most disadvantaged by our infantry in the Central Plains places, and the most important means of dealing with cavalry is actually cavalry."

"We are still inseparable from the cavalry for the time being, especially our chariot troops have not been able to form. At present, our chariot troops in Taiwan are just a tank regiment. When our tank regiment is marching, it is only 15 per hour. This speed is not suitable for long-distance raids. Moreover, the tank regiment is only used as an experimental force, not a real army. At present, the tank regiment belongs to the subordinate command of our Mongolian military region. This is Mr. Wang’s opinion. Our trust. However, the chariot troops are only used for experimentation and cannot be used as the main force on the battlefield. And in this Mongolian region, it is impossible without cavalry.”

"I know that the Russians have millions of Cossacks, and the Cossack cavalry is a famous cavalry in Europe. And if they enter the grassland with a large number of cavalry, then we may face exhausted results. At that time, the Cossack cavalry could completely Constantly harassing our army, we will definitely be very troublesome at that time. Especially because we are currently short of troops, and our follow-up recruits are still in training. Although our Mongolian military region has been established, in fact the Mongolian military region is only one army The next troops have not yet arrived, so we can only deal with them gradually. We recruited two cavalry divisions from the local Mongols, which can greatly make up for our lack of troops. And we can effectively contain the enemy's Cossack cavalry .”

Zhu Yuan began to explain the importance of recruiting cavalry, especially the importance of recruiting cavalry so that they can reach a Cossack cavalry that can contain the Russians. Currently in Mongolia. There are grasslands everywhere, and the infantry is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, so it is necessary to form cavalry to effectively contain the enemy. Otherwise, if the Russians stick to the Taiwanese army through the candy tactics, the Taiwanese army can only be exhausted at that time. At that time, how would people fight or not? The extent to which it is fought is mostly determined by the Russians. The rhythm of the war is in the hands of the Russians, which must be very unfavorable. Those who can contain the cavalry are still cavalry in this era. The tank force only has the strength of one regiment, which is not enough to be able to fight against so many cavalry, and the tank force is currently immature, so of course it cannot be the main force.

However, the high-speed rail side, who was the deputy envoy of the tour, immediately added: "I also add something, that is, we recruit soldiers. Not only to make our troops sufficient. Moreover, we also need to draw these Mongols to the Our side. Do you know why we choose to recruit soldiers in Shandong and Zhili instead of Taiwan? That is to hope that the people in Shandong and Zhili will follow us and walk with us. Because only those who absorb Soldiers from Shandong and Zhili can make the people of Shandong and Zhili regard us as their soldiers."

"As for this side, the same is true. If we warn two cavalry divisions, there are about 10,000 people. Then these 10,000 people will share our fate with us, and we can let them influence them more than ten times. family members, relatives and friends, and this means that at least 100,000 people have followed us. If there are their children following us here in Mongolia, then we will become their soldiers and let them support us. This is actually That is to tie the Mongolian people to our chariots, and then fight against the Russians together. Therefore, the recruitment of cavalry is not only a military need, but also a political need to maintain our rule in Mongolia. Only by letting the Mongols work for us is the real way for the Mongols to return to us."

Everyone expressed their understanding, but then everyone also discussed the formation of the cavalry.

"The establishment of the cavalry is naturally impossible to follow the establishment of our infantry. An infantry division has five or six regiments, and I plan to set up a cavalry division. There are not so many regiments. There are only three cavalry regiments under the cavalry division, and there are no regiments. First-level artillery and machine gun units, etc. Each cavalry regiment is subordinate to three cavalry battalions and one machine gun battalion. A cavalry battalion is subordinate to three cavalry companies and one machine gun company. Each cavalry company About 100 people, including a machine gun company, a total of 400 people, form a cavalry battalion. Three cavalry battalions form a cavalry regiment, about 1,200 people. Then three cavalry regiments plus some auxiliary and logistics, etc. Waiting troops, etc., a cavalry division is about 5,000 to 6,000."

The ability of the cavalry lies in its flexibility and its great maneuverability, so it is not suitable for forming a large establishment. Moreover, the cavalry formations in ancient and modern China and abroad are actually small in number but large in size. Compared with infantry divisions with more than 10,000 to 20,000 infantry, cavalry divisions may only have a few thousand people. Even, some cavalry regiments are only a few hundred people, so they are called a cavalry regiment. The cavalry has a large establishment, but the number is far smaller than that of the infantry, because they have fewer artillery units, and even if they have artillery, they are mainly mortars and have no heavy artillery. And all kinds of auxiliary personnel are relatively much less, because the cavalry itself is an ie transportation force, and there is no need for a specially formed logistics transportation force to transport it. Therefore, the establishment of cavalry is large, but the number is much smaller.

A cavalry division with thousands of people has no less combat effectiveness and "weight" on the battlefield than an infantry division. Especially in those fast-running actions, it played an unparalleled role. Therefore, 5,000 cavalry troops can be regarded as a division, and cavalry training is difficult and costly. Even raising a horse is more expensive than raising a person, which is to equate the cavalry's horse with a person.

"But, what should we do? We don't have cavalry equipment, and we don't even have war horses!" Someone from the logistics department immediately asked.

Gaotie Fang immediately said: "We can let the herdsmen prepare their own horses, and then we can provide some weapons."

"Let the Mongols prepare their own horses? This..."

This is the first time everyone has heard that soldiers are required to prepare their own horses. You must know that the Taiwan army has always been provided with weapons by the army, and the horses are naturally weapons, which makes them subconsciously think that they should provide them. But now the herdsmen are still allowed to provide the war horses themselves, which is simply incomprehensible to them.

"Don't you know? During the Tang Dynasty, the military system was implemented. The court distributed the land to the people, and then the people had to serve in the army and provide their own weapons. Since we want to implement grassland reform, it is better to combine the two Combined. We give them pastures, cattle, sheep and horses, so why not let them provide their own war horses? We give them pastures, so of course they have to serve in the army. Otherwise, their pastures are too cheap. It’s like getting it without paying. The so-called Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, if we let them get the land without paying, then we are too kind to them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ unconditionally good, In this way, not only will they not be grateful to us, but they will think that we are fools. That’s why they can get the pasture by enlisting in the military, so that they can cherish this hard-won pasture and become more loyal to us.”

"In order to keep their pastures, they will definitely be more loyal to us and will not betray easily. Even in order to keep their pastures, they will fight us bravely, otherwise the Russians will occupy the grasslands. The pastures are no longer guaranteed. This is the reason why those with permanent property have perseverance. If there is no permanent property, these nomads will take the yurts and go away with the soft goods, so what can we do? Only with these pasture land, It is used to tie their hearts and make them work hard to keep the pasture. If there is no permanent property, they will not have the perseverance to stay with us. Without perseverance, loyalty is meaningless." Gaotie Fang said.

Obviously, everyone agrees with what HSR said, because what HSR said is true, those who have permanent production have perseverance, and those who do not have permanent production will inevitably have no perseverance. Don't talk about loyalty, the so-called loyalty is loyalty to interests. If it is beneficial to be a "loyal minister", then he will be a loyal minister. If it is more beneficial to be a traitor, then many people will choose to betray. The vast majority of people in this world are not loyal. The reason why they become loyal ministers is simply because the price of betrayal is not enough. (To be continued.)
