There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

After Lin Feng pretended to be awesome by quoting the strategies of great men, he took a sip of tea and continued: "To achieve this strategy of using troops, there are several aspects that are very critical. Wang Qin, can you tell me about them?"

This is also a way Lin Feng can take to guide everyone to think more about combat strategies, so as to speed up the training of independent generals.

Wang Qin thought for a while and said: "I think there are two most important points. One is intelligence. Only by accurately understanding the enemy's movements can we implement the strategy of tiring the enemy and disturbing the enemy.

The other is mobility. To be able to run away when the enemy is chasing you, and to catch up when the enemy is retreating, you must have strong mobility. "

"Wang Qin's words are very accurate, do you have anything to add?" Lin Feng then asked.

"To implement this combat strategy, we also require that our army must be lean and capable, and the number of troops cannot be too large, otherwise it will be difficult to be maneuverable and flexible." Cao Xiong added.

"The other thing is to be very familiar with the terrain of the combat area. You need to know where you can hide and where you can ambush." ​​Deng Hao said.

"This requires that the army's supplies must be very convenient. We can follow your request last time and develop and distribute more instant camping foods such as dried meat fried noodles, and at the same time prepare supply troops to ensure that supplies are delivered wherever we go." Li Wanxiang also made suggestions.

……

Soon, everyone’s minds were opened and many good opinions and suggestions were added.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Lin Feng concluded: "What everyone just said is good. This is the pre-war discussion we want. Based on everyone's opinions, there are three main points.

The first point is intelligence, which is a prerequisite for implementing flexible maneuver operations. Without accurate intelligence and unable to grasp the enemy's traces, this tactic cannot be implemented.

Therefore, Guo Zheng and you Tingfengwei should prepare intelligence personnel in advance for possible future combat directions. At the same time, you must rely on the people of the capital to understand the movements of the Manchu Tatars after they invade.

In addition, you must fully understand the terrain of the combat area and mark it clearly on the simple map I provide you for combat use. "

"Understood, I will step up the arrangements." Guo Zheng took the order.

“The second point is mobility, that is, the combat troops we dispatch must have a high degree of mobility and be able to outrun the enemy.

So I decided to send all the cavalry to participate in the battle this time. Wu Yunna’s 3400st Cavalry Brigade and Hongtu’s 500nd Cavalry Brigade totaled 5000 people. Then I would allocate a battalion of people from each of the st Mobile Combat Brigade and the st Shanxi Combat Brigade to equip them with horses. In addition, my personal guards also have horses, and a total of cavalry are mobilized to participate in the battle. " Lin Feng then arranged.

"Sir, all the cavalry are relatively mobile when participating in the battle, but it is recommended that some supporting forces be prepared. It is not far from the Hequ area on our northern line to the direction of Miyun. I suggest that the second and third Shanxi combat brigades be used as reserve forces.

As soon as the Tatars enter the country, the imperial soldiers and horses from Datong, Shanxi Province will definitely have to guard the border with all their strength, and they should not attack us at this time. It is also safe to transfer these two brigades. "Wang Qin suggested.

"Okay, let these two brigades serve as reserve forces, and let Qian Zhuo transfer the first part of the Fugu garrison brigade to Baodou to assist in the defense." Lin Feng agreed after thinking about it for a while.

"Yes!" Wang Qin responded.

"Sir, the five thousand recruits you recruited last time have been basically trained. I suggest that they be allocated before the war begins to further strengthen the strength of the Zhenming Army." At this time, Fang Tiezhu of the Zhenfu Division suggested.

"By the way, this batch of troops must be divided as soon as possible. I have just transferred a battalion from the 1st Mobile Brigade and the 1st Shanxi Brigade to add 1,000 men to each of these two brigades, and to provide support for the 2nd Mobile Brigade and the other two Shanxi combat brigades. He Fugu garrison brigades each added 500 people, and the Yulin combat brigade also added 500 people.

There are still 500 people left as mobile supplements. Each brigade recommended about 50 elites to join the Guards. After Fang Xiaoyu organized an assessment, the Guards were expanded to 600 people and renamed Xiaolong Guards Brigade. Fang Xiaoyu Xiaoyu served as brigade general and Pan Da served as deputy brigade general.

All elites who are selected into the Guards Brigade will be given additional recruits at a ratio of one to two. " Lin Feng ordered. He had long planned to expand his guard and build it into a special force.

"Understood!" Fang Xiaoyu happily accepted the order. He finally became a brigade general. Although the rank was the same, the brigade general's name was much more elegant than that of the guard captain.

"The third point is protection. This time we are going to fight in the area under the jurisdiction of the Zhenming Army. Although we have reached an agreement with the court, according to the behavior of the court officials, even the Ming Dynasty's own border troops cannot be guaranteed, let alone Maybe we can be protected. Therefore, Chief Li of the Logistics Department, you will organize Sitong Express to move from the bend of the river to Miyun, preset some logistics support forces, find some hiding places, and store some supplies such as grain and grass first. The layout of the Logistics Department can be Let Tingfeng Wei's deployment coordinator consider it." Lin Feng then ordered.

"Understood!" Li Wanxiang and Guo Zheng said.

“This combat operation is the most powerful enemy we have faced since the Zhenming Army was established, and all departments and units must go all out.

I will personally serve as the commander of this operation, and Wang Qin will serve as the deputy commander. We will seize the time to train the troops and be ready to set off at any time by the end of this month. " Lin Feng then made it clear.

"Sir, who is responsible for staying behind at the headquarters?" Wang Qin asked.

"Deputy Governor Xiong Zhen is back. Of course, Xiong Zhen will be responsible for staying behind. Lin Jiakang, Fang Tiezhu and Deng Hao will be responsible for your assistance.

On the northern line, Zhou Zhiwei is responsible for commanding the reserve support troops, while Peng Xing is responsible for staying behind. Song Jilie was responsible for staying on the southern line of defense, focusing on tracking the movements of the Qin army. " Lin Feng explained.

"Yes! We will live up to the trust of the Governor." Li Xiongzhen and others stood up and responded.

After discussing the battle preparations, Lin Feng left the Governor's Mansion and went to the Zhenming Ordnance Factory outside the city to check on the production status of new equipment.

After Lin Feng returned from Taiyuan City after attacking the Jin Palace, he allocated a special amount of funds to Zhao Zhixin and asked them to produce ordnance quickly and prepare to expand the army and prepare for the war.

At the same time, considering the need for field combat with the Manchu and Qing Tatar cavalry, Lin Feng specifically requested the development and production of two new pieces of equipment.

The Zhenming Ordnance Factory had produced the first batch of products two days ago. At the end of the meeting just now, Zhao Zhixin, who was also the deputy director of the Logistics Department, invited Lin Feng to come over for an on-site inspection.

Lin Feng first looked at the first customized equipment, which was a bulletproof carriage.

Carriages were very common in the Ming Dynasty, but this new carriage has a carriage made of hammered steel, which is quite bulletproof.

And the most important thing is that the Zhenming Ordnance Factory's newly designed carriage four-wheel steering system is installed, a spring shock absorber is installed, and the wheels are also wrapped with locally made Eucommia gum, which greatly improves the comfort and maneuverability of the car.

At this time, Lin Feng customized and produced a carriage to improve the mobility of the Zhenming Army. This carriage can be used to transport goods and can be used for protection when camping. Once equipped, it will definitely greatly improve the mobility of the army.

The second piece of equipment is a movable shotgun, which is also customized for fighting Tatars.

The size of the artillery was reduced and wheels were added, so that it could be easily hung on the back of a carriage for maneuvering. Then the single iron bullet was replaced with a shotgun composed of small iron beads, which had the ability to kill enemies across the area. Use this to fight Tartars. Zi's ​​cavalry was very effective.

Lin Feng looked at the two pieces of equipment inside and out, tried out the carriage, and fired the shotgun. He was very satisfied with the performance of both pieces of equipment.

"Zhixin, the war with the Tatars is approaching. Your ordnance factory will go all out to produce these two new pieces of equipment. Is there any problem in trying to produce fifty pieces of each?" Lin Feng asked.

"Promise to complete the mission!" Zhao Zhixin replied.

"Okay, then I will wait for your good news. After these two pieces of equipment are produced, they will all be distributed to my personal guard brigade and two cavalry brigades." Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes!" Zhao Zhixin accepted the order.
