Chapter 229: Cramp temporarily

The battle goals were determined and the generals who were sitting were encouraged, of course, this was not enough.

The purpose of convening the generals to meet is to add another insurance for victory. Obviously, in terms of tactics, especially in the tactics of coordinated operations, some generals still seem very immature. In any case, they have to take this opportunity to strengthen their tactical awareness. Although Chongzhen himself was a half-bucket of water, he learned about various tactics from film and television and text materials in later generations. He was not professional at all, but it was easy to know some concepts. In this era, no one in the Ming Dynasty knew more than himself, and he was naturally an expert.[]

Chongzhen said next:

"Zhang Huangyan's idea just now was to destroy Dorgon's 70,000 to 80,000 troops and Ajige's 20,000 troops. The young man is very ambitious and has such a courage. The problem is that our various tactics are still very unfamiliar, especially the tactics of coordinated combat. In the current situation, we have surrounded Ajige's about 20,000 troops, but Dorgon sacrificed his life to rescue Ajige's men. For example, playing Go, we surrounded a piece of chess of the opponent. The opponent tried every means to move, and surrounded us outside. Dorgon wanted to kill us. Zhang Huangyan's idea was to not only eat the surrounded part, but also to slaughter the super dragon outside the opponent. Du Jun always liked to slay dragons, but this time he did not dare to take the risk of slaughtering dragons. Why is that?"

As soon as he talked about "why is this?", Chongzhen remembered the cute performances of later sketches and couldn't help laughing. The people sitting here just felt that Du Jun was rarely held on this time, which seemed a little funny, and his mood became relaxed. Du Jun really liked to slay dragons when playing chess. However, killing a super big dragon is definitely not something that can be killed just by wanting to kill. The dragon-slaying job is not very high for chess players. You must tie one step at a time and you cannot make a mistake in one step, otherwise you will collapse due to your own weakness if you are not careful. If you have reached the level of super power, you will have to be able to make a crash.

If the state of becoming a saint is not forced, no one would choose to kill the super dragon. Moreover, the situation is favorable now. It is not small to eat Ajige, and it is too risky to even Dorgon's army swallow it up in one fell swoop. On his side, Qu Song and Meng Shihai are not much better than blind men. It is obviously unrealistic to expect that Chu Ge will not make mistakes. A great situation, if he is overturned by his opponent with impulse, it will be too late to regret it. This is why Du Jun disagrees with Zhang Huangyan's super dragon-slaying plan.

Chongzhen then curled his smile and continued:

"The slaying dragons are also wanted to kill them in one fell swoop, but it's not that easy to kill them. Yes, we have the Dragon Slaying Sword in our hands, but unfortunately, our swordsmanship has not yet been practiced. The slaying technique is unceremonious, we only have the Dragon Slaying Sword, but the swordsmanship is so clumsy that we can't even exert 30% of the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword. In this way, if you want to slay the dragon rashly, you may not be able to slay the dragons, and you will hurt yourself. Today, I invite Qu Song and Meng Shihai to join us, to emphasize the importance of tactical coordination before the decisive battle. Okay, Guo Yunlong, you first talk about the Qing army's shield and vehicle coordination tactics."

In this era, coordinated tactics have actually existed long ago. Zhu Di was the founder of firearms and infantry and cavalry collaborative tactics. Although the firearms in the Yongle period were relatively primitive, the coordinated tactics created by Zhu Di were generally tried and done repeatedly to deal with Mongolian cavalry. From then on, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou also had a set of coordinated tactics. Of course, these coordinated tactics were very primitive, and in Chongzhen's view, they could do better. However, it was already innovative that the ancients could do this. Looking back, every progress in history was staggering. You cannot ask the ancients with a transcendent perspective like the time traveler. Human history was at the cost of blood and life, so that they gradually concluded what advanced tactics were.

Guo Yunlong could speak out even with his eyes closed and he said calmly:

"The Qing army's shield chariot tactics were very particular about coordination. The Qing army basically used shield chariot tactics when dealing with firearms. The earliest shield chariot was a human shield chariot, followed by a archer, and then a cavalry. The Qing army pushed the shield chariot to resist the attack of the firearms. While advancing, they used arrows to kill the opponent's gunners and musketeers. When the shield chariot advanced to a close enough distance, the cavalry immediately launched a sprint and rushed through the effective coverage area of ​​the opponent's firearms in an instant.

The opponent can only fire a round of firearms, and the cavalry of the Qing army can rush into the opponent's battle formation and launch hand-to-hand combat. Because the cavalry has the advantage of war horses, the impact is strong, and the condescending, a single infantry is difficult to resist the enemy, and the infantry array is immediately defeated. If the opponent has cavalry after the infantry, because the cavalry of the Qing army is very brave, if the cavalry of this era only relies on cold weapons, they will probably not be the opponent of the Qing army. Therefore, ordinary opponents will find it difficult to block the Qing army's attack."

While speaking, Guo Yunlong set up a demonstration of war chess. War chess deduction was a tactical deduction tool brought to this era by Chongzhen. As a senior instructor of the Military Academy, Guo Yunlong was familiar with war chess deduction. Guo Yunlong continued to explain:

"During the Battle of Songjin, our Ming Dynasty used artillery and train tactics to deal with the Qing army. One, two and three Franchise cannons were installed on the cannon carts, and a large fire gun was installed on the train. The specific tactics were to fire solid bullets and grape bullets against the shield carts, and the train fired muskets against the cavalry to fight against the Qing army. The Franchise cannons were loaded with the breeze of the sub-gun, and the fire speed was the fastest, which was a temporary choice for dealing with the shield carts. This tactic was originally able to curb the Qing army and defeat the Qing army several times. However, this tactic was only suitable for slow advancement. Once the Qing army lost to our army's firepower, it could immediately leave the battlefield, so it could not expand the results and could not seriously damage the Qing army. However, the Qing army built mule and horse chariots, such mule and horse chariots.

The Lang aircraft is also difficult to destroy. The new type of shield chariot tactics of the Qing army after the improvement can be said to be a new level. The Qing army's mule, horse, shield chariot, archers, and cavalry coordination. At the same time, the Qing army also supported shield chariot assault with artillery. In this way, one will rise and fall, and the two sides will win and lose. However, as the Qing army invested more and more artillery, our firepower was suppressed. Once the firepower was controlled, the Qing army's shield chariot, archers, and cavalry coordinated assault often returned to the old path of the Qing army's final victory by hand-to-hand combat. The Qing army's shield chariot tactics were like this before. As for the Qing army's shield chariot tactics today, they were just derived from the previous shield chariot tactics. In short, although the Qing army was brave, they did not just do it. Their shield chariot tactics attached great importance to coordination, and we should learn from it."

After Guo Yunlong finished speaking, Chongzhen continued:

"Even the Qing army understands the importance of coordination. Look, the shields, archers, cavalry, and artillery, and tacit cooperation. What about us? The two tanks left other troops and rushed forward without thinking. How could this be done! This time, the Qing army was just confused by the fire of the tank. If they used a few large thunderbolt bombs, they might blow up your tank. There was a row of armored vehicles and infantry behind them, and when it was time to cooperate, there was no concept of coordinated combat. Are we even worse than the Qing army!"

When he was a physical education teacher in later generations and taught Brother Chu to play football, this move worked very well. Just say: Look at others, they can organize and be good at passing the ball, how great they are! When they say this, those guys who only know how to take care of themselves will most likely be much more restrained and will gradually learn to pass the ball. Who says everyone has self-esteem!

Yes, even the Qing army can coordinate tactically. No matter whether the Qing army is called tactical synergy or not, they cooperated tactically. I was from the Royal Military Academy and I was one of the best. I learned a lot of tactics, but I forgot it as soon as I went to the battlefield! Meng Shihai's face turned red and white, for fear that the emperor would have no shame to see anyone by adjusting himself to the armored regiment.

Chongzhen looked at Meng Shihai and Qu Song, and saw that they were particularly embarrassed. He knew that this lesson had been unforgettable for them for life. He had enough to beat him, and he had to inspire him:

"However, you can't blame you completely this time. The infantry is not directly under the command of the armored regiment. Coordinated combat involves two types of troops and different commanders, and it is difficult to be consistent for the time being. This is forgiven. Therefore, in order to better coordinate the combat, the armored regiment will be equipped with direct infantry and cavalry. After the infantry and cavalry are in place, they must quickly complete joint training before attacking to form combat effectiveness."

What made Qu Song and Meng Shihai excited was that the emperor not only did not impose punishment, but also allocated 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry to the armored regiment. The two were excited, which also showed that the emperor attached great importance to the armored regiment, and at this moment he felt even more stressed. It was afraid that it would not be so easy to train with the infantry and cavalry within three or five days to form combat power.

Seeing the two of them looking nervous, Chongzhen smiled and said:

"As the saying goes, if you are not quick, you will be able to practice together to the extent of tacit cooperation. You can do roughly coordinated combat! I asked Bai Hengdu to sort out several sets of tactics to guide you to practice together. What level is the level of practice. In addition, on the battlefield, you must adapt to the situation and not be led by this tactics and that tactics. Practicing tactics is like practicing boxing. Of course, you cannot stick to moves when fighting. Alas! The emperor of the skull has too much worry, and the skull does not want to restrict your combat too much. Bai Hengdu participates in the skull to help you get started as soon as possible. In the end, it depends on you yourself."

Bai Hengdu immediately made a statement:

"I followed the emperor's will and introduced several sets of coordinated combat tactics to Qu Song and Meng Shihai. I have limited knowledge. At that time, I will compete with the two of you while training and verifying each other. Commander Qu is from a special forces soldier and knows everything about cavalry and infantry tactics. Deputy Commander Meng is from an infantry, so it is not difficult to lead infantry. The emperor handed over the armored regiment, the super brigade of the Ming Dynasty to the two commanders. What a trust that I would have! I am fortunate to participate in coordinated training, and my face is very bright!"

Chongzhen came up with some coordinated tactics, and after several considerations with Du Jun and Bai Hengdu, he summarized several sets of tactics. He developed various tactics on how armored vehicles and tanks, how infantry and armored vehicles, and how cavalry and armored vehicles collaborate, and also conducted war chess deductions. After he was convinced that these tactics were effective, he formed a training and combat guidance outline. To keep it confidential, these sets of tactics were named in later generations, such as "451 Tactics", "442 Tactics", "433 Tactics", "352 Tactics", the most important thing in later generations What we are familiar with is football, using football tactics to annotate military tactics, which made Chongzhen particularly inspiring. How could Du Jun and Bai Hengdu know about this? In fact, Chongzhen even talked several times and even talked about basketball tactics. Fortunately, Du Jun and Bai Hengdu were devoted to studying tactics and did not take the emperor's terms "pick-and-roll" and "joint defense" seriously. In the eyes of both of them, the emperor had an amazing talent for military tactics. It was a pity that he did not go to the front line to be a general in person. Of course, Chongzhen also proposed to go to Hashan Pass to command in person. The two of them persuaded each other, and then stopped the emperor from taking risks.

From the next day, infantry and cavalrymen from the armored regiment gathered in the training ground and carried out "temporary cramming" type assault training. Bai Hengdu and Qu Song were all from scholars, so they naturally had the experience of "temporary cramming" in the imperial examination. Although the time was extremely hasty, it was rare that they could arrange for various troops to train "451" and "442" step by step. Of course, you can't ask too much. Such a crash course is just a waste of time. Each soldier trains a tactic, and only God knows the effect of the training.

In the infantry and cavalry assigned to the armored regiments showed no sign of disobeying command. For the magical armored chariots of the Ming Dynasty, especially the iron-armored tanks that could smoke and fire, cavalry or infantry, these armored chariots were regarded as gods without exception. Unfortunately, the armored chariots only had 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry, otherwise there would be no idea how many people would squeeze their heads and want to get into the armored chariots.

Therefore, when Qu Song announced that in addition to daytime training, he would also do war chess training and recite tactical regulations at night, everyone did not dare to be careless at all, and everyone was afraid that they would perform poorly and would be returned. Under the dim oil lamp or by the bonfire, the soldiers either carefully observed the tactical demonstration of war chess made of mud, or asked their literate companions to teach themselves to recite tactical regulations.

When Chongzhen heard about the armored regiment's training method, he sighed in his heart, knowing that this is a common trick for scholars to sharpen guns in the imperial examination. Who knew that this kind of cramming training method would not work! But don't make the soldiers too nervous. It's just that it's rare that they are so attentive, which is not easy to dampen their enthusiasm.

As the evening approached, Dorgon finally conquered the third line of defense after paying more than a thousand people, and further forward was Hashan Pass. Starting tomorrow, a cruel bloody battle will inevitably be staged at Hashan Pass.
