Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 482: heated debate

Among them, the officers of the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 8th Infantry Regiment have carried the imperial decree south to Liuzhou, and are currently recruiting new recruits in Huaiyuan and Rongxian areas. To be able to get here to receive these prisoners of war! "

Hao Bainian said: "In this way, this time, two infantry regiments and three garrison regiments have been established in one breath. In this case, I am afraid that there will be an additional fourth infantry brigade and two garrison brigades! My Tang army expansion went smoothly. , ZTE is just around the corner!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded slightly!

They are members of the Great Tang Wang Shi, they put their heads on their trousers and He Mingjun fights. What they want is not prosperity and wealth. The Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous. They follow His Majesty to conquer the world. Will enjoy better glory and wealth!

So this military expansion is a good thing!

The scale of the army is huge, and they have more opportunities for promotion!

There are as many as three infantry regiments currently under preparation by the military. Where do the officers at all levels of these infantry regiments come from? They just need to be drawn from these old officers!

However, these people obviously did not think about how to solve the guns and guns needed for the preparation of the Sixth Infantry Regiment, the Seventh Infantry Regiment, and the Eighth Infantry Regiment.

Because they are all officers in the field army, and the armament is the work of the Ministry of Works of the Cabinet and the Ordnance Department of the Privy Council. They are only responsible for fighting, and they do not care about the supply of ordnance.

Besides, they also heard that the Ministry of Industry of the Cabinet is planning to build a new workshop base in Liuzhou City. Although Liuzhou City has not been taken down yet, these officers have long regarded Liuzhou City as a What's in the bag, it's just a matter of time to get it down.

If it wasn't for the purpose of using Liuzhou City as a bait to attract reinforcements from the Ming army, and then sieging out as many Ming troops as possible through field battles, they would have taken down Liuzhou City long ago.

Even if the Ming army in Liuzhou City couldn't retreat, the first tentative attack was a failure, but as long as they put in a little thought and were willing to pay a certain price, this Liuzhou City was definitely possible.

Big deal!

The big deal is to let those Ming troops drop soldiers to be cannon fodder, just like the Liping House campaign!

At the beginning, there were more than 20,000 Ming troops in the city of Liping, and there were many Guizhou Fubiao recruits who could not stop the attack of their own army. Can this Liuzhou city be able to stop it? Just kidding!

After winning Liuzhou City, the people from the Ministry of Industry will be able to produce guns and ammunition in Liuzhou, but it will be more convenient to supply them by yourself.

Well, when they think so, they also don't think about it. The production of guns also requires a lot of craftsmen and ordinary workers, and even more gold and silver to purchase raw materials.

They are soldiers. Naturally, they can't manage and don't bother to manage these money and production matters. They are only responsible for fighting wars.

And there are no guns and guns in their hands to let them fight, that is naturally the matter of the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Department, and it has nothing to do with them.

When everyone talked about the bright future of the future, they also continued the meeting, which is serious business, mainly to discuss the gains and losses in this battle.

It has been a long-standing tradition of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty to hold a post-war meeting after the battle, summarize the advantages and disadvantages, and form a paper report and submit it to the superior.

This is true regardless of victory or defeat. The advantages must be summed up and maintained and promoted in the future. The shortcomings must also be summarized and avoided in the future.

The focus of this discussion is the character-shaped regimental-level phalanx used by the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty to display!

In the past, the basic tactical phalanx of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty was limited to the battalion level. During the battle, even if it was a large-scale battle of tens of thousands of people, each infantry battalion was formed by itself. Although the regiment-level troops also coordinated their subordinates. In fact, these infantry battalions can be said to be fighting independently, but they can only cooperate.

But this time, the 1st Infantry Brigade in the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty adopted the regimental-level phalanx tactics proposed by Hao Bainian. As for whether it works well or not, whether it will continue to be used or even extended to the whole army in the future, this is all a matter of need to be carefully considered.

Even if the battle was won this time, to be honest, the victory in this battle was not directly related to the regiment-level phalanx tactics, because the Ming army had already retreated on its own before the close-quarters phase.

Later, the role of the infantry was to charge and pursue, and after the charge and pursuit, the formation of the troops could not continue to maintain. In the end, I dare not say that it was a mess, but in fact, the huge regiment-level phalanx has already existed in name only.

At this time, Li Chunjing was the first to speak: "Li Mou is the first to cast a brick and a jade, the advantage of the regiment-level phalanx is that everyone knows that it can organize a wider front in a large-scale battle, although the depth is somewhat deeper than the previous phalanx. It is shallow, but through cross-fire, it can wield a larger musket fire, and form cross-fire on some fronts. The mobility is also quite good, which can effectively maintain the unified and fast movement of the entire infantry regiment, while defending the enemy. The charge can also have excellent defensive elasticity, which has a very positive effect on our army with too few troops!

But through this battle, Li also discovered some defects of this phalanx that cannot be regarded as defects, that is, this formation has too high requirements on the quality of the troops!

The quality of the soldiers of my Second Infantry Regiment is acceptable for the whole army, but it is still not enough to implement this regiment-level phalanx. In the projectile attack, because the first battalion in the front row was too far forward, it alone endured a large amount of enemy fire, resulting in a lot of casualties, and the formation was shaken!

This also means that once the enemy uses the same long-range firepower as ours, the first battalion acting as an arrow may not be able to withstand the concentrated firepower of the enemy, and it may collapse after suffering a large number of casualties!

In order to maintain such a formation, the quality requirements of the troops, especially the front-row troops, are very high. Personally, it is estimated that a unit that can withstand a casualty rate of more than 30% can serve as the front-row phalanx. Otherwise, once the enemy with powerful firepower is encountered, the front-row phalanx will inevitably collapse!

Looking at my Great Tang King Division, I am afraid there is only one 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion is a little worse, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion includes the three infantrymen below me. Camp is even worse! "

Although Li Chunjing said that he was throwing a brick to attract jade, he did not stop talking, but continued: "In addition to the very high requirements for the quality of the troops, the goal of setting up this regiment-level phalanx was to use shallow depth and depth. To expand the front line and focus on cross-fire, and hope to strengthen the defense capabilities of the troops, but I don't know if you have it now. After our troops launched a counterattack today, when the formation was mobilized, the quality of the soldiers was too high, which would lead to the formation of the troops. Chaos, at the same time after the counter-offensive, the troops in the front row need to be transferred, so that the defense depth of the remaining troops in the back will be even shallower, and once the enemy counter-attacks, our army's defense capability will be worrying!"

Li Chunjing is the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, but his status in the Southward Army is far more than the commander of an infantry regiment, because he is also the deputy commander of the Nanxia Detachment, a veritable name in the Southward Detachment. second person.

His status is to pass Fang Dongquan, the deputy brigade commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and Chen Keqiao, the head of the 1st Infantry Regiment. Everyone knows that his promotion to the brigade commander and becoming a major general of the 6th Army is just around the corner. When the Fourth Infantry Brigade was officially formed, one of the major generals and brigade commanders of the two regular armies was very likely to have one of his.

Therefore, people naturally did not dare to despise his words. On the contrary, they listened very carefully. Even Hao Bainian, who was sitting on the seat, attached great importance to this, just like himself. 's colleagues.

Although he was promoted to the 6th Army Major General one step ahead of Li Chunjing, it did not mean that he had too many advantages over him, so he also listened carefully and wrote down Li Chunjing's words directly on the paper with a pen. The main point of the words: the depth is too shallow, UU reading www. The quality requirements of uukanshu.com are too high.

After Li Chunjing finished speaking, other people naturally spoke up one after another. In this post-war meeting of the Southward Army, everyone above the school official participated, and this kind of meeting has always been a tradition that does not pay attention to the level of military rank and position. , everyone can speak freely, even if they say something wrong, no one will hold them accountable.

Of course, if you are blaming others, you still need to at least pay attention to the art of speaking. If you talk indiscriminately, it is not a discussion of tactics, but a curse.

Li Chunjing spoke next to Chen Keqiao, the head of the 1st Infantry Regiment. This man has always served under Hao Bainian. It can be said that the reason why he knows how to lead the army to fight is completely taught by Hao Bainian himself. The style of conducting is naturally greatly influenced by Hao Bainian.

He just listened to him: "What Captain Li said is very reasonable. There are indeed many defects in the current regiment-level phalanx, but Chen believes that these defects can be improved and finally solved!

Whether it is the high quality requirements of the troops, or the weakening of the depth of the troops when attacking, there is a solution to the problem of weakening defense capabilities, and this solution is also very simple! "

Hearing Chen Keqiao say that there is a way to solve the defects of the current regiment-level phalanx, Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing and everyone all perked up their ears!

The advantages and disadvantages of this regiment-level phalanx are quite obvious. If the defects can be solved, then this regiment-level phalanx will be suitable for use by the current Datang 6th Army, especially in field battles. Using the perfect regiment-level tactics will improve the troops' frontal field capability to a level!

But can this Chen Keqiao have a solution? ()
