Chapter 48: Infiltration Tactics Teaching

七 At seven o'clock in the evening, hundreds of military officers were sitting underneath the hall.
明 Li Mingyuan drank tea, straightened his thinking, and stood up and said, "The content of Sun Tzu's art of war has been finished, this time I will explain the tactical changes of modern war."
明 Li Mingyuan started, paused, and the following officers immediately concentrated and prepared to listen carefully.
"The history of human civilization is an evolving history of war. Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the mode of war was still white-bladed fighting. The key to determining the victory of the war was the combat effectiveness of the two soldiers.
But since the advent of firearms, the war has entered the era of hot weapons. Although the soldier's individual combat capabilities still play a large role in the war, the key to determining the outcome of the war has become the quality of weapons and equipment. "
明 Li Mingyuan picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the local road representing the mainland. "The Battle of Bali Bridge is a typical showdown between hot and cold weapons.
In this battle, Manqin slave chief Greene Qin led more than 30,000 troops to fight the 6,000 British-French coalition forces, of which 10,000 were the Mongolian cavalry who leaned on the pillars.
At the beginning of the war, Seng Gelinqin ordered the cavalry to attack the enemy's formation. All 10,000 Mongolian cavalry charged, but in the face of the British-French coalition of rifle cannons, the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry charged with pride was useless. The Qing army suffered more than half of the casualties, while the British and French coalition forces killed a total of twelve.
King of the Hill, if you were the general of the Qing army, how would you command this battle? "After talking about the Battle of Baliqiao, Li Mingyuan asked.
"Shizi, the gap between the enemy and us in weapons and equipment is too large. If I command, I will let the troops retreat without making meaningless sacrifices."
King Wu Xiaoshan thought for a while, stood up and answered.
"Knowingly lost, retreating to save strength is the safest method, but I would not do it if I command."
The officers below all watched Li Mingyuan and wanted to hear what he had to say.
"War is based on the comparison of the strength of the enemy and ours.
The Qing army has more than 30,000 troops, and the British and French troops are 6,000. The Qing army has the advantage.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the Qing Army is equipped with sabers, bows and arrows and a few backward firearms, while the British and French forces are equipped with muskets and cannons, and the British and French forces are fully dominant in weapons. Under such circumstances, what should the Qing Army do to thwart the attack by the British and French coalition forces? Li Mingyuan sold a trick and asked the officers.
The officers below meditated, obviously there was no good way.
"The Qing Army's weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the British and French coalition forces. It is unlikely that the British and French coalition forces will be wiped out, but it will be possible to seriously damage the enemy forces and prevent them from invading the capital.
First, select one thousand elite cavalry and three thousand elite infantry, and then focus all the firearms of the army on the selected four thousand.
3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, five mixed troops based on two hundred cavalry and six hundred infantry,
After the martial arts marshalling was completed, the remaining 9,000 cavalry were assembled and on standby. The 20,000 infantry set up multiple lines of defense to stop the enemy from fighting. Once the enemy launched a strong attack, the enemy retreated to the next line of defense.
When the British and French coalitions attacked the infantry line of defense, the five cavalry wandered around the coalition, looking for the enemy's defense vacancy. Once the enemy showed weakness, the selected cavalry quickly used the musket and cavalry's breakthrough ability to penetrate the enemy's line of defense, and then the 9,000 cavalry. Follow up immediately and expand the breakthrough range. In this way, the Qing army blocked the front and the cavalry broke into the line of defense. The British and French coalition forces will inevitably suffer significant losses. "
明 After Li Mingyuan said, he put down the stick and waited for the officers in the hall to digest his knowledge.
The following officers talked about each other for ten minutes. An officer raised his hand and asked, "Shizi, would it be better for our army to defend the Bali Bridge than the Qing army?"
"Your name is Qian Jianyu, I remember you also gave me opinions before." Li Mingyuan did not answer his words, but talked about his past.
"Hey, I didn't know anything about humble jobs before, so don't be surprised," Qian Jianyu said.
At a conference, Qian Jianyu once despised the Peruvian army and was taught by Li Mingyuan, so Li Mingyuan had an impression on him.
"After attacking the Duraya mine, I remember that you were the deputy company commander, what position is you now?"
"Humble position is not talented, now is the commander of the second battalion of the Third Regiment of the Zhenwu Division."
"I became a battalion commander at a young age. It's good, work hard, and strive to be the head of the party as soon as possible." Li Mingyuan nodded and encouraged.
明 Li Mingyuan was gentle towards every Chinese officer or soldier. He was not treated differently because he was a small officer or soldier. Therefore, Li Mingyuan also received the loyalty and love of the independent army.
"Humble position and obey Shizi's teaching, we must strive for promotion." Qian Jianyu said loudly.
"Young people are energetic and aggressive, very good." Li Mingyuan nodded with a smile.
Qian Qianyu has a spirit of dissatisfaction and adventure, and Li Mingyuan admires young people like him.
"Qian Jianyu, do you want to change your position?" Li Mingyuan smiled.
When Qian Jianyu's eyes brightened, he just wanted to say yes, his eyes turned, and he said slyly, "I don't know what position Shizi arranged for me?"
呵 "Hehe, pick and choose with me. I originally wanted you to be the head of the investigation camp. It doesn't matter if you look at your attitude."
"Don't do that, I am willing to be the head of the investigation camp." Qian Jianyu eagerly heard that Li Mingyuan was planning to make him the head of the investigation camp.
"Okay, don't tease you, the reconnaissance battalion director Feng Changqing has just been transferred to the Yulin Guards Brigade Regiment as the head of the battalion. The reconnaissance battalion post is vacant. You will report to the special forces headquarters tomorrow morning."
"Xie Shizi." Qian Jianyu excited.
"Oh, don't worry about thanking me, I will answer your question first."
"If it were the current Chinese Independent Army, I would order a special raid on the enemy's headquarters, and then let the Yulin Guard Brigade attack the enemy flank, and finally use two divisions to give the enemy a final blow and wipe out the enemy." Enlightenment.
"Shizi wise." The officers below spoke in unison.
"No need to make a flatterer, do you know what is the core of my tactics?"
The officers below looked at each other, and only felt that the tactical arrangement that Li Mingyuan said was reasonable, but specifically speaking of the core tactics, they did not understand what it was.
"Shizi, you are all big and rude. If you don't know a big word, you can tell us directly."
"Yes, Seiko, you say it quickly."
The Tatar Chinese officers thought for a while and didn't understand, they asked one after another.
明 Li Mingyuan estimated that after waiting for a while, they also couldn't understand the key to the problem. They directly stated that "fire intensity, mobility, and assault are the core tactics of war.
When the number of troops in the two parties is not much different from the training intensity of the soldiers, which army has the highest firepower intensity, the probability of victory of either army is high.
However, when the strengths of the two parties' forces in all aspects are generally balanced, it is the comprehensive use of firepower, mobility, and assault that determines the success or failure of the war.
The intensity of the firepower is well understood. At this stage, mobility is mainly achieved by cavalry, and assault nature may not be well understood. Li Mingyuan said of the excitement. He picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper. He raised it and said, "Assault has a special tactical system. I named it infiltration tactics." "
The puppet infiltration tactic was invented by the German army in the First World War, and was invented here by Li Mingyuan more than half a century in advance.
"The core of infiltration tactics is to use small combat units to use the gaps and joints of the opponent's defense to penetrate into the opponent's defense system, strike important targets, cut off the traffic line, and split the relationship between defense deployment to create conditions for positive attacks .
Specifically is 4 parts:
1: Short and violent shelling The purpose of this shelling is to suppress the enemy rather than try to destroy it, which can effectively shorten the shelling time.
2. In the cover of the barrage Xu Jin, the commando troops set off and penetrated the weak points of the enemy's line of defense. They will try to avoid fighting before destroying enemy artillery units and command agencies ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When the commandos complete their mission, the follow-up units equipped with artillery will attack the enemy strongholds bypassed by the commandos.
4. In the final stage of the assault, it is the ordinary infantry that begins to clear the final resistance of the enemy forces. "
Using infiltration tactics, assault troops must break through enemy lines and fight without support, so their equipment and individual combat capabilities are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
李 In Li Mingyuan's plan, the assault soldiers were equipped with grenades, light machine guns, rifles, and pistols.
The grenade has a long history, first invented by the Chinese.
In the 15th century, primary grenades appeared in Europe. In the middle of the 17th century, some European countries were equipped with field grenades in their elite troops, and soldiers specially trained to use this ammunition were called grenadiers.
By the 19th century, with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive warfare, grenades were once coldly treated.
手 In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, grenades played another role on the battlefield. In the First World War, grenades were widely used due to the rise of the trenches.
The Chinese Independent Army is not currently equipped with grenades. Among the weapons traded by Li Mingyuan and Prussia, in addition to rifles, artillery, and machine guns, Li Mingyuan has also customized 30,000 grenades specially prepared to equip commando soldiers.
"The soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers. Although most of you are ordinary captains now, you must also study military theories carefully and lay the foundation for commanding large forces in the future." Li Mingyuan introduced the infiltration tactics and concluded.
"Yes."
"Go back tonight and think carefully about the military content I am talking about. I will give everyone's experience tomorrow night to the leader of the team I'm in. I will talk so much tonight and dissolve." ...
