Before departure, Zhou Huaian had partially adjusted and clarified the military system of the Taiping Army. The main purpose is to garrison more than 50,000 troops in Hunan and Jingnan outside the ridge, nearly 30,000 troops in the ridge, and 7,000 to 8,000 troops from Annan. The relatively heterogeneous affiliation was reclassified into the order of the main battle army from one to eight and the second and third line of defense and defense.
It is roughly composed of old camps, new camps, temporary battalions and supplementary battalions, garrison battalions, etc., with more than 90 battalions for different purposes and functions. Except for the supplementary battalion that only has training tasks and the garrison battalion that undertakes part of the production tasks, the other old battalion representatives must be field elites, the new battalion representatives are regular combat troops, and the temporary battalion is used to absorb and transform the merger The Ministry of Rebels belongs to.
According to the plan, the order of the first to eighth armies is the organization of specific operations and on-the-spot command. Approximately it is composed of six to eight battalions with different functions; each army has a leading soldier and horseman, led by General Lang, and then set up left and right deputy generals. Each led several (battalion) captains and other generals, (regiment) captain, (brigade) brigade commander, (team) team leader, (fire) fire commander, and (standard bearer) five.
For the remaining second and third line garrison regiments and patrol teams, the construction and organization of the project are organized; they are divided into more than a dozen key defense areas of the second and first rank according to the region, and they are called garrison envoys with the rank of captain. Lead it. As the rear buffer of the second line and the center of gravity for the opposing party's suppression and elimination.
As for the daily housekeeping management, logistics supplies, equipment maintenance and training, personnel assessment, military discipline inspection, publicity and education compensation, etc., the unity is still managed by Zhou Huai’an’s Taiping Army Six Cao Sancan assist in the overall planning; at the same time with the bias For the left-behind department of government affairs, relevant functional departments conduct business docking and coordination.
In this case, it is a preliminary distinction between the military and government systems, the military’s field command and operation management functions, mobile combat forces and the opposing garrison armed forces, and approach the development direction of the modern army in later generations.
In the next step, Zhou Huai'an also plans to separate the more detailed military staff functions into a promotion system; but this requires a sufficient number of qualified candidates, relying only on the military night school and the crash course in the rear, and it will be done in a short while. Can't provide complete yet.
Of course, in the current situation, only a sequence of one to five is compiled due to limited conditions. In addition to the first and second army, which has been given priority, a considerable part of the battalion heads of the other three army orders are dissatisfied, and the fifth army is a special navy order. The corresponding defense zones were only established in Guizhou, Tanzhou, Shaozhou, and Jiaozhou on the original basis.
In addition, there are several technical units and special formations in the hands of Zhou Huai'an, such as the appearance team, the cavalry camp, the fire throwing team, the direct battalion, and the teaching team.
After a large number of incorporated rebels complete the initial transformation and training, this situation will be greatly improved; in the final analysis, the lack of time and more accumulation of development as a buffer. However, the ensuing intervention of the enemy and other external factors did not allow the Taiping Army to bury its head in development. It needed the cost of training while fighting to maintain a deterrent force of sufficient scale.
This has resulted in a small number of elite troops, with most of the ordinary soldiers, plus a lot of collocation patterns of farming and semi-production armed forces.
After all, a soldier who is relatively experienced and proficient in multiple combat techniques is actually an existence with relatively high equipment and maintenance costs; because the same equipment and training investment can be armed and trained several times, or even more ordinary people with a single specialty. soldier. Therefore, there are generally only a few and fine-grained soldiers and jump-action sequences.
Under normal circumstances, most ancient armies are specifically trained to form consumable sequences with soldiers with relative proficiency in certain weapons and equipment; if they are supplemented after loss, it will not be more painful and difficult than a small number of elite troops. Many.
Common main battle arms sequences, such as sword players, spearmen, and shooters (bows and crossbows). Although sometimes other equipment is used to supplement combat effectiveness, this is not a normal or regular mode. (Chasing and defeating the enemy, temporary reinforcements, exhaustion of equipment, etc.), under special conditions, in areas that are not good at, it is necessary to short-strike the enemy with oneself.
The armed civilians and the semi-full-time squadrons, because of the limited time that can be devoted to training and duties, only mastered a limited formation and simple military operations, and even lacked the frontal combat capability under independent conditions. It can only be used for low-intensity purposes in guarding the rear strongholds, maintaining law and order, and suppressing them.
And after the previous experience, lessons and experience in the General’s Mansion, for most of the rebel generals under Huang Chao’s rude and unscrupulous background, it is not enough to observe the truth and knowledge of their interests. It is to show their muscles and fists directly. The most effective way of negotiation and communication; As for Huang Chao himself, Zhou Huaian believes in his ability to judge whether he is good or bad.
So like those YY novels, they obviously have the strength and ability to dominate, but they still think that they are hiding and being low-key. Then all kinds of clowns who have been wrongly judged the situation come out in endlessly. Slaps and counter-slaps, and never get tired of it, are purely the inferiority plot and the sullen mentality of the author's lack of self-confidence in the daily life.
So this time, from the first to the third army, he drew out two battalions, old and new, to form a special force to join the alliance, and brought all the navy forces that could be drawn from the fourth army. And the big ship, for the transportation, pomp, escort, and response power for this trip.
Because Zhu Cun, Cao Shixiong, and Zhang Juyan, who have the background of the rebel army, all asked to join the battle this time, the commander of the army, Bo Chaiping, who is actually the third person, also rushed from Chenzhou to town Jiangling; Liu Jurong's department on Shannan Road in the north, and the light-grabbing and sneak attacks originated from the Jiedu Shi in Dongchuan, Jiannan in the west.
Although the current Nishikawa Jiedu Chen Jingxuan is the younger brother of Tian Lingzi who relies on nepotism, and is a junk snack for polo, but the predecessor Jiedu Cui Anqian left behind the dental soldiers and the basics of the camp. Pretending to exist.
Before that, in addition to the Third Army staying in Jiangling and the Fifth Army in Tanzhou, the Taiping Army, headed by the rest of the First Army and Second Army, had officially launched a battle against the neighboring Yuanzhou (now Jiangxi). The anti-** offensive in Yichun City) and Hongzhou (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi) was the response and preliminary preparations for the nearby Union League in Jiangzhou (Jiujiang City, Jiangxi).
And another big state on the edge of the Yangtze River, Ezhou (now Wuhan, Hubei), was on his own route, so Zhou Huai’an would personally lead his troops to seize it. It can be regarded as a response to unexpected situations and accidents that may be encountered in the future. A kind of warm-up and rehearsal in disguise.
"Report, leader, news from the temporary letter tower on the shore..."
At this time, a Yu waiter walked up to the platform on the top of the ship's tower and bowed to report:
"The Rebel Liu Shifan in Jiangxia City refused to open the door, and was unwilling to provide assistance in crossing the border. Instead, he shot arrows and yelled at the city behind closed doors; therefore, Lieutenant Wang (Tianming) had taken the lead and jumped. Start attacking Simon..."
"This is what it should be. It can make the team and the riders think of support and patrol..."
Zhou Huaian nodded his head to express his approval and conviction. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this alliance to collect these few, the big states located in the Nanchang Basin and the Poyang Lake Plain are also the main directions for the Taiping Army's next expansion.
And this kind of temporary signal tower, which can be assembled and disassembled on a large vehicle or a ship, is considered to be one of the latest innovations of the military industry department in the rear; all the existing finished products and spare parts are taken out for this battle. used.
It's just that the vehicle-mounted wooden iron reinforcement structure like mobile outposts and arrow towers can't be erected higher, so the corresponding transmission distance has also been greatly reduced, and more layout density is needed to compensate.
But in any case, this kind of mobile communication equipment for the position has been improved to some extent, and the communication and response capabilities of the corresponding army along the way; the Zhou Huai'an subordinate who is out of the battle can always be with the ground behind Jiangling, maintaining a delay of less than one. Two-day feedback efficiency.
"Yellow Crane Tower, I'm here..."
Soon after, Zhou Huaian looked at the magnificent city on the banks of the river in the distance, and the faint building on the Shiji platform in the southwest corner above the river, and he meditated in his heart.
. . . . . . .
"What kind of stuff are the subordinates of the virtual monk who killed a thousand swords... can't you explain it well?"
At the same time, according to Liu Shifan, the new left-wing commander of the rebel army guarding in Jiangxia City, he cursed loudly at the left and right.
"If you don't agree, start fighting. Is this determined to fight with me to the end... Do you really use Lao Tzu as a soft persimmon.. Don't hurry up and give me the top of the city..." Call back..."
"We will send someone to Jiangzhou General's Mansion for help... I said that the surname Xu had come to grab the site from the beginning... I will explain again that they had explained that they had to take strict precautions at the beginning. If I can't stand it here, you Don't think about living it well in the future..."
On the other side of the gate of Xiguocheng in Jiangxia, dull gouges and slashes have been heard, and groups of helmets and armors gathered behind the door, tightly against the gate poles and thick bolts of the armored soldiers. Our breathing has become heavier and tighter.
Then, these sounds and the impact of the impact suddenly disappeared; after a very long and tormenting moment, there was a deafening bang; the lower part of the city gate was like a bang. The son was torn apart by the invisible force mercilessly.
Suddenly, the lower part of the torn apart city gate was shattered into pieces and air waves. The armored soldiers gathered behind the gate were overturned and knocked down a large area like a haystack. And only one place was left with groans and wailing in the bloody human body.
However, the rear team did not hesitate to step on the wounded and corpses, who had not yet died or were struggling for help, burst into the air and regained their support, leaving only half of the city gate exposed in the air attack. But surprisingly, the enemy outside the door showed no signs of rushing in.
I saw a sudden bright fire flash in the misty dust, and with the sudden surging out the smoke of hunting and hunting, it was a large swath of iron projectiles shot out in a dense, like torn paper. Like cloth strips, the armored soldiers who piled these densely together without avoiding gaps swept past one after another, and then pierced and torn apart in pieces before falling to the ground;
It's like smashing countless brightly colored sauce jars and bags in a narrow space; but on the walls of the relatively hard and hollow city gate corridor, sparks bounced and reflected off the iron pellets. Once again, these fish that slipped through the net constituted a second kill, and even three or four subsequent tragic injuries.
After the rapid and fierce howl, there was no more movement in the doorway; at this time, there was a peace soldier with a spear and a license and full body armor, rolling in like a rushing undercurrent. Then a screaming scream sounded at the head of the city:
"The enemy has entered the city..."
Speaking of the Han and Tang dynasties, there is nothing to be envious of. As the saying goes, it is a polarized group under the poor, civilized and wealthy.
On the one hand, the sword-fighting rangers are those who have a solid family and can support their academic and travel expenses, which is a good family in the usual sense; on the other hand, they sink into the so-called evil boy and the like, gangsters. Rogue thugs and underworld groups, the primitive form. Even desperadoes who kill and overtake.
In the end, the ones who can be famous in history are those young rangers who have joined the army and made contributions and have survived to whiten their identities. Not how many righteous knights they did. Because this is also rich to maintain the daily life, but also needs connections and relationships to promote reputation.
