Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 169 Battle Review

On the beach outside the village, in the tent of the command headquarters, officers above rank, non-commissioned officers and cadets of the Baitu Expeditionary Team gathered together.The nurses of the health team poured tea for everyone.Everyone was in a good mood. Although they made a bit of a fool of themselves, the battle ended in a standard and perfect process according to the textbook, without a single casualty.

"We have to develop a habit, and we must summarize and improve every time we fight. Everyone speaks freely at the meeting, and there is no taboo."

Naturally, the native non-commissioned officers dared not speak up. Their sense of superiority and inferiority was still very strong, and Xi Yaya didn't force it—everything should be done slowly.

"How are the camping and security arrangements for the troops?"

"arranged."

"This is the first time that a large force has coordinated a battle. There are many problems. When the enemy's cannon fires, every platoon will be shaken. Fortunately, the enemy's cannon is too bad, otherwise it will really knock down a few, and the whole army will collapse immediately? "

"There are no veterans, all rookies."

"In the future, we need to do more adaptive training under artillery fire. It's good to let them get used to it."

"The key is to fight more—"

"There will be fights after the battle, but it's like this, nine out of ten will collapse at the touch of a button. It's good to be able to run for your life, I'm afraid you'll just lie on the ground and wait to die! It's really impressive to see those heads on the ground today. Be an ostrich." Xi Yazhou slapped his face extremely hard.

Wei Aiwen turned red in the face, he is the commander of the first company, and the first company is the benchmark company of the teaching camp, and the excellent rate of all training subjects is above 60%.Unexpectedly, the biggest joke this time was a series of troubles.

"After I go back, I will clean it up properly!" Wei Aiwen said in a low tone, "I decided to clear out all those who committed cowardly behavior and send them to the logistics department."

"It's the first time they've seen a battle, so it's understandable to be afraid. How can we make up for the vacancies after they are cleared out? They have to retrain."

"I also don't think it's necessary." Xi Yazhou said, "The army is not strong enough. The chief officer has to find the reason from himself, not the soldiers!"

Wei Aiwen seemed to be sitting on the stove, this was like a criticism meeting.I saw him standing up and saying: "I will make a deep self-criticism to everyone—"

"Forget it, forget it, Xiao Wei, it's okay." The people next to him hurriedly stopped him.

"There is no need to do the review. When you go back, report the new training plan and method, improve as soon as possible, and you platoon leaders, don't think that your subordinates are good. You are lucky if you don't make a fool of yourself. It doesn't mean your soldiers. powerful."

Youhuo and others had no choice but to say yes with a bitter face.It seems that this post-war review meeting is really not easy.

"There is also shooting, bayonet fighting, and the platoons of guns are very uneven. Three platoons fired a volley over 200 meters, and only knocked down a dozen people. This result is hard to say! This is still a Mini rifle, just shoot out This result?"

"Soldiers don't have a good grasp of the scale, and many people are not used to-"

"After you go back, you have to grab the scale and shoot. Otherwise, you will be courting death when you meet the cavalry in the future."

Huang Xiong thinks that the Kun people's army management is really different: winning a battle is not about rewarding meritorious service, and rewarding the three armies with a big banquet, but looking for faults like picking bones in an egg.Leading troops like this can make people work for you?

Huang Xiong does not deny that this brand new army has brought him a lot of shock, especially the weapons and equipment. It is probably not too much to use the word extremely sharp.However, he has always found the concept and practice of running the army and fighting wars naive and ridiculous. Probably the thinking of overseas barbarians is different from that of China.

"The effect of the 12-pound mountain grenade is better than expected. The disadvantage is that the shells that can be carried are too few. Fortunately, it is a low-intensity battle, otherwise it is not enough. The degree of mule-horseization of the troops is low, but the number of people is organized according to the level of mule-horseization. Yes, in addition to burdening equipment and weapons, soldiers also have to carry a considerable part of artillery equipment, which consumes too much energy. Fortunately, there are liaison officers from various villages as porters, otherwise many soldiers will fall behind during the march.” Ying Yu made a summary of the artillery. .

"The low level of mules and horses can't be solved for the time being," Wen Desi said. "It's not easy to raise and buy horses, and Hainan is not very suitable for raising horses."

"I also know this, even Wu Nanhai can't change horses out of thin air." Ying Yu said, "I mean, there are too few mules and horses now, we can appropriately expand the staffing of the artillery—"

"Damn, isn't it just losing pawns on behalf of animals?"

"That's what it means."

The cross-travelers present looked at each other in blank dismay. In their hearts, it could be said that this was the thing they despised most in the old military system, 100 times more despised than the Eight Banners of slavery.

"I also know that this method is bad, but now who has other methods to ensure the mobility of the artillery?"

Indeed no.Unless you buy a horse suddenly.Buying horses in Guangzhou is a hassle. Not only is the government very strict with inquiries, but there are also very few horses on the market.

"I think it would be good to add some gunners." Xi Ya avoided the word "replacing animals and losing pawns", "Now a 12-pound mountain grenade is equipped with 6 gunners. If the number is increased to 10, the burden on the gunners It can be reduced a lot. It can also provide more cover fire."

"It's better to develop some light and short weapons for artillery, which are more convenient to carry. For example, carbine or something."

"But the enemy may break into the artillery company's position, and it is not appropriate to equip all of them with short weapons."

"Six gunners with short arms and four standard infantrymen."

"This plan is fine." Ying Yu said.

"There is also a problem with our current ration standard. In theory, each soldier is 0.75 kilograms per day. In fact, there are many people who eat 1.5 kilograms per day. What's the point of the food standard? Revise it."

"That's the case with a diet that lacks fat and protein." Dongmen Chuiyu, as a ration observer in the agricultural department, said helplessly.

"What's the response to the rations of the Grass program?"

Wei Aiwen was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xi Yazhou, who named Tian Liang who was secretly looking around.

"Tian Liang, tell me. How is the food for these two days?"

Tian Liang didn't expect to call his own name, so he stood up and saluted like a conditioned reflex.

"Report to the head!"

"Don't shout, just tell me."

"Very--good." He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which was indeed his sincere words: if you are full and can eat fine grains, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Sit down." Xi Yazhou looked around, "Do all the soldiers say that?"

Everyone nodded together.One of the monitors smiled shyly and stood up:

"Report to the chief, the brothers in the class all said that it would be better if there is some meat to eat."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was a little relaxed.

"It's a good thing to want to eat meat. It's still difficult right now. When you have more money, brothers will have meat every day!" Xi Yazhou wrote out a check.

"Really? Xi... chief?" The squad leader lost his mind a little excitedly.Huang Xiong couldn't help laughing secretly: You can believe what you say when you are an official, the sun comes out from the west-eating meat every day for soldiers, such a good thing in the world.

"Of course it's true." Xi Yaya nodded and told him to sit down, "The soldiers probably don't have any objections, what about the officers?"

"No oil!"

"Grassland No. [-] and No. [-] are very good, No. [-] and No. [-] are very bland. You can't eat without luncheon meat."

"It's best to make a special jar of oil like the fish sauce you bring. It's good to put a little in when cooking."

"There are too few vegetables, so if you eat like this, you will get angry sooner or later!"

There are indeed many opinions on eating, but they are not as intense as expected-this is because they haven't started eating Grassland No. [-]-instant rice cakes.Dongmen Chuuyu had already eaten a piece, and it tasted quite horrible.

After the meeting, several elders in the village were brought to kneel down in front of the tent of the headquarters, and then Wen Desi who came out helped them up and took them in.

The people and things in Baitu Village are needed by travelers, but the emotional resistance and dissatisfaction are obvious when more than 500 people are forced to move from a place where they live and work to another strange place.After Wen Desi arrived, he discussed with senior military officers and decided to do more work at the top, and use them to appease the common people.In order to avoid any violence on the way.

Of the three people who came in, two were the main surnames in the village, all from Fujian, one was Lin, a carpenter, and the other was Lu, a blacksmith.These two people came from the whole family, and they are the most powerful in the village.The last Cantonese named Zhang was a boat builder, but he only came with his wife and children.

The surname Lin can also build boats, but his craftsmanship is not good, so he can only build some small boats.Zhang Chuanjiang is the core technician here.The best-selling 400-material ship is built by Zhang Shipbuilder.Zhang Chuanjiang knew that he was alone and was a Cantonese, so he kept the shipbuilding secrets secret and did not bring apprentices. The core tasks such as ship sampling and setting out were all done by himself, and outsiders only did the work without knowing why.

The residents in the village, except for the clans of Lin and Lu, are mostly landless farmers and craftsmen who fled from Fujian and Guangdong. The actual power of the whole village is actually controlled by Lin and Lu. , also have a great say.Wen Desi walked around the village and interrogated some ordinary villagers one after another. After that, he realized that most of the people here are actually exploited: workshops, tools, and boats... Almost all production facilities belong to Lin and Lu. home's.

Knowing the twists and turns in this, Wen Desi has already made up his mind on how to disintegrate them.Zhang Chuanjiang is obviously the most easily divided among the three elders.

Wen Desi said some words of comfort to them: All the property here is only moved to Bopu, and the private property of every household is protected.When they get there, they can continue to build ships under the protection of the traversers, and they will be paid for all work.As for housing and food supply, Bopu will also make proper arrangements.

Obviously they didn't really believe this confession, but it didn't matter whether they believed it or not, Wen Desi just wanted to reduce their hostility.
