late Qing Dynasty arrest

As the saying goes, "Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang." Before the Japanese army's movements were found out, the military meeting was to discuss various problems in the army, and then discuss and properly deal with trivial matters.

Officers learn to organize their thoughts and speak as concisely and clearly as possible in their speeches

Li Guolou doesn't talk much, just like a smiling Buddha listening to the speeches of the officers

After dealing with the internal affairs of the army, Li Guolou put down his teacup and stood up, saying: "Since you have explained your problems, I am repeating that there are many unexpected difficulties in an unfamiliar environment. We must overcome difficulties and solve them. Don't blame others and vent your anger to the outside world. Tell me what is the primary task of the Quartermaster Department when it comes to fighting wars.”

"It's not easy to defeat the enemy." Li Yunkai replied loudly, it's too simple, no need to use your brain

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "It's wrong to fight in an unfamiliar environment. First of all, we must maintain a healthy body. We fight on two legs. The willpower of a soldier is the key to victory. The rapid march can best reflect the fine traditions of our army, but the premise is that the body can withstand the overheating." Marching with a load requires our army to have a strong body to ensure

So from now on, try not to sleep on the floor. Tropical rainforest areas are very humid. Sleeping on the ground for a few nights will cause the root of the disease. If the battle has not been fought, we will become sick. We will defeat ourselves. In ancient times, many armies in the north went to the south because of disease. The lesson learned from the past is that Feng Zicai went to Annan with [-] troops. Unacceptable, they had to go back home and give the fruits of victory to the people of Nan'an in vain. The soldier's illness is your mistake as an officer. The details are the key to success. This lesson you must keep in mind

Sleeping, drinking water, these two small things are related to the combat effectiveness of our army. When you go back, you should first grasp these two things.

The conscientious officers took notes and wrote "eat" and "sleep" in their notebooks. This is the task assigned to them by Commander Li.[

Li Guolou stretched out two fingers to touch the corners of his mouth and said with a strange expression: "Next, I will say the second thing. I repeatedly ask you to treat the ethnic minorities in Taiwan well The family respects the customs of ethnic minorities, but there is one thing you have to keep in mind that we are here to fight and you must take care of your crotch.”

The audience roared with laughter, and the officers with different expressions began to tease each other

Li Guolou frowned, slapped the table angrily and said, "Don't laugh, is this funny? You won't be able to laugh until you die in the belly of your mother-in-law."

Seeing Li Guolou go crazy, the audience was full of crows and sparrows, and the expressions of the officers became serious again.

"People of ethnic minorities have adapted to the environment here and are born with an antibody, but we northerners don't have this antibody. Another way of transmission of infectious diseases is from the crotch. Don't be seduced by beauty. Think about women's troubles." What harm will it bring? When I go back, I will tell every soldier that the girl from the ethnic minority who is open is a cannibalistic bone spirit.”

"Hahahaha" The scene finally calmed down burst into laughter again, and the officers spit out the tea from their mouths

Browning nodded frequently and said, "It makes sense, makes sense, makes sense, and the ever-victorious army must not fall on the bone spirit's stomach."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Guolou couldn't help but smile: "What I want to say is the three small things of sleeping, eating, and crotch. Only by doing these three things well will our army be able to fight. Only then can you ask me to fight and keep your army high." If you don’t have the fighting spirit, don’t give me nonsense. You can’t pull out any troops and talk about war. I’m done talking. Next, I will ask Bai Tuan to explain the use of revolutionary skirmishing tactics in Western military affairs. We warmly welcome Bai Tuan’s speech.”

Li Guolou took the lead in applause and thunderous applause. Bai Langning stood up proudly and nodded slightly to pay tribute to the officers present.

"Back-loading rifles were widely used in the late 60s, and the lethality of the weapon was greatly improved. The dense formation of column tactics was no longer suitable for combat needs. In the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian army was scattered in order to reduce casualties under the threat of French firepower. The Prussian army was successful in battle, and Prussia became a Western power. Skirmish line tactics were formed from then on.

The Qing army began to imitate skirmish line tactics by summarizing foreign combat patterns and drawing lessons from fighting with Western armies. The Ever Victorious Army was the first in the Qing army to develop skirmish line tactics and further perfected skirmish line tactics.

Modern warfare is different from the past. When the two armies are at war, when the infantry meets the enemy and within the range of the rifle, they are separated into a skirmish line and arranged in a line. The distance between the soldiers and the soldiers is 6 to 8 meters. Artillery shoots and kills the enemy before the infantry strikes; cavalry conducts a detour and flanks the enemy's flank and expands the results of the battle to break through a point and then expand the results of the battle."

Browning draws patterns on the tactical board so that the officers have an intuitive understanding. He speaks logically. He has reason to be proud. Li Guolou's tactical ideas are all plagiarized.

After Browning finished his speech, the officers whispered to each other

Huang Qiying raised her hand and spoke: "If the Baitong regime did not have cannons to open the gap, how would our army fight?"[

Browning nodded approvingly and said: "Huang Qiying, your question is very good. I think many people have this concern. Different environments require different tactics to fight. It is impossible for our army to occupy a favorable location. When the geographical advantage is not in our army, we must avoid the enemy's artillery advantage. The only way is to fight at night as close to the enemy's position as possible so that the enemy cannot take advantage of the artillery. Use grenades, throwing canisters to fight the enemy to the death to carry forward the dedication of our army."

"Oh, I see." Huang Qiying listened to a tactics class and gained a new understanding of modern warfare

"Then there are so many enemies, how should our army fight?" Li Yunkai was full of superstition to the British and Japanese, thinking that Bai Langning was stronger than his adoptive father Li Guolou

Browning said with a chuckle: "The enemy is strong, and our army can't use pebbles to hit rocks. When it's time to retreat, we must abandon the position and make tactical adjustments. Regroup the army and don't win or lose in a single battle. The larger the enemy's territory, the more dispersed the guards are. The unchanging military motto"

Li Guolou "interrupted": "You have to remember that the tactics used by the Japanese army are actually exactly the same as when they invaded North Korea during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. First, build a military port, then build military forts, rely on this defensive system, and then develop in depth. The first thought of the impetuous commander was to drive the invaders out and regain the lost ground, which fell into the trick of the Japanese army. Because this battlefield was designed by the Japanese army, the North Korean army will be defeated again and again. In the end, as a commander, you must not lose face The problem is that the country is more important than anything else. Sometimes losing is for the sake of winning. Let the enemy come in. Put the battlefield in our favor. Destroying the enemy’s vital force is more important than liberating a city.”

Bai Langning didn't expect Li Guolou to have such an opinion and said with a smile: "Commander Li, tell me what enlightenment the Korean War has given us to fight in Taiwan?"

Li Guolou looked around at the officers present and said, "You are all officers. As long as you make military achievements, you will be promoted. In the future, you will lead more troops. You must have an overall view of the war. Take history as a mirror. The Korean War has given us many warnings. The Ming army sent troops to defeat North Korea. The Japanese invading army played a national prestige, but at the same time let the Ming Dynasty go downhill, the money in the treasury was exhausted, and the people were miserable, not like the British Empire.

Li Guolou paused for a moment, pointed to his head and continued: "This is because we are bound by Confucianism and our brains are stiff. We don't understand the importance of war reparations to the country, and we don't know how to do slave trading. bring wealth to a country

Now we understand a little bit, but we are paying reparations to the victorious countries, and we are still paying war reparations until today. When fighting for free for a vassal state, don’t think that entrusting a king to a vassal state treats the Qing Dynasty as their parents. It’s wrong for soldiers to make war fortunes while leaving the treasury empty. We must learn from the British Empire and become a military power in war. To improve people’s lives is the true meaning of war.”

The applause was thunderous, the officers stood up and applauded, and the soldiers all wanted to be enshrined in the shadows and establish peerless feats. The army led by such a commander-in-chief, why worry about being promoted and making a fortune?

Browning joked: "Commander Li, you don't look like you are from the Qing Dynasty or from the British, you are completely consistent with our British thinking."

Li Guolou waved his hand to let the audience be silent and solemnly said: "You must not be complacent and think that the soldiers are strong and strong, and the world can be determined in one battle. With the help of the traitors, the Japanese army has successfully landed and won the first stage of victory. We must have a clear understanding of the traitors. There are not only people from ethnic minorities, but we must be wary of Taiwanese. The blood of the Japanese is flowing in the blood of the ancestors. It makes no sense to talk about patriotism to such people.”

"Commander Li, why do Taiwanese have Japanese blood?" Bai Langning didn't understand and thought Li Guolou was wrong.

But Li Guolou could only tell the truth of history and coughed dryly: "That is the blood left by Zheng Chenggong's subordinates. You must know that Zheng Chenggong is the head of the Japanese pirates. His mother is Japanese, and half of Zheng Chenggong's blood is Japanese. Bloodline, so many of the Han people in Taiwan have Japanese ancestors. It is easy to find supporters of the Japanese army among the people of Taiwan. You must be careful not to be led into the Japanese army’s ambush by so-called guides when fighting.”

Zheng Hengtan interjected: "Don't worry about dealing with the traitors in Taiwan. Our staff department has already sorted out a plan. I will teach a class on dealing with traitors later. Drink more strong tea tonight." All night meeting"

Numerous military officers are drinking strong tea and writing vigorously. They are all taking notes. The war is imminent. With so much work to do, there will be no sleepiness.

Li Guolou continued in good spirits: "What the Japanese army wants to do most now is to eliminate the main force of our army. Building a fortress in Taiwan is not a one-time achievement. Even if the Japanese army rushes to work day and night, it is impossible for the Japanese army to make Langqiao and Guishan indestructible. Want to eliminate our army's short legs in mobile warfare, Japan's short legs are good at sports warfare

Before the 25th, Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan town, led 3000 troops to confront the Japanese army once. The Jianwu Army suffered a lot and did not dare to confront the Japanese army. 500 people were dispatched from Yokohama. If the British intelligence is correct, it means that Liu Mingdeng's Jianwu Army can't even defeat 1000 Japanese troops, but there are more than [-] people killed or injured. The first task of our army after entering Taiwan is to strengthen the defense of important military towns, and then march into ethnic minority areas to fight side by side with patriotic ethnic minority soldiers. You must learn to deal with ethnic minorities. Only by relying on the support of the people of Taiwan can we defeat the Japanese army in Taiwan.”

Li Guolou's words contradicted himself. Li Yunkai refused to accept it and said, "Commander Li, what should I do with that traitor?"

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't worry about traitors, they are also human beings like this. Our army's strategy to deal with traitors is to eliminate some, win over others and influence others, so that there will be no more traitors."

Li Yunkai grunted: "Speaking is better than singing"

Li Guolou said contemptuously: "The duty of a soldier is to solve the enemy's tactics. If there is difficulty in the arrangement of the staff, he must overcome it. The only thing the soldier can do is to face the difficulty."

"It is to resolutely carry out the orders of the chief." Li Yunkai stood up straight with his chest and stomach protruding

Li Guolou gritted his teeth and said, "I'll talk so much tonight. Next, I'll let Adjutant Zheng talk about the "traitor" who was attracted by the Japanese army. The traitor is the descendant of the "King Beidong" of the Beidong tribe conferred by Emperor Kangxi." Luo Xingban, the chieftain, is dissatisfied with the title of the chieftain, delusional to become the king, and colluding with the Japanese army to kill the chief of the Paiwan tribe, Ah Shilu and his son.

Browning said without hesitation: "Leave the task of Commander Li to me."

Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Bai Langning, and the Taitung Plain, the territory of the Beidong people, is more than 500 miles away from the mountains. Could it be possible for the Changsheng Army to fly there?
