Chapter 975 The God's Strategy Guards go to war
. The next step is to arrange the combat methods. If the God's Strategy Guards with more than 2,000 people go to fight a huge race, then a large-scale battle is impossible. Not to mention a war of tens of thousands of people, even a battle like the Xin Tribe with thousands of people participating is difficult to happen.
Why did Luo Chong organize the God's Strategy Guards with nine squads in each platoon? It was specially customized considering the scale of the war. The real three-three system is that every three units form the upper-level unit, three squads form a platoon, three platoons form a company, three companies form a battalion, and three battalions form a regiment.
But the God's Strategy Guards are not like that. The God's Strategy Guards have nine people in a squad, nine squads in a platoon, and then the three-three system is used above, so Luo Chong said.
"Your battles are basically based on ambushes and guerrilla warfare. The scale of the battles is not large, but the troops will be dispatched frequently. Under normal circumstances, only one platoon of troops is needed for each battle to meet the tactical needs.
"The God's Strategy Guards have three battalions, a total of 27 platoons, so how many battles can you launch at the same time, do you know? "As Luo Chong spoke, he tested Qubing.
Qubing thought about it. If twenty-seven platoons were to fight twenty-seven battles at the same time, the leader would obviously not ask such a stupid question. So since the leader asked, there must be a deep meaning. So he listened to him.
"If you need to fight at the same time, then use at most twenty platoons, and keep the remaining seven platoons as reserves to support any unexpected situations that may occur on the front line at any time?" Qubing said tentatively.
"That's right. No matter what kind of battle it is, you must keep the reserve troops. Don't put all your troops into it at once. Otherwise, if there is a slight accident, you will be caught off guard, and then it is easy to make mistakes. Once the commander makes a mistake, it is easy to lead to the failure of the entire battle.
"In combat, there is only one situation in which you can put all your forces into it, and that is in a positional defense battle, when the enemy outnumbers us and we have used all the means of attack. When you think you can defeat the enemy with one blow, you can put all your remaining forces into it.
"War is not just a battle between soldiers on both sides, but also a showdown between generals on both sides. To put it bluntly, wars are fought between generals, and soldiers are just pawns in the hands of generals. The psychological showdown between the generals of both sides has already begun when the two armies deploy their troops before the formal battle.
"Guess each other, analyze each other, judge the intentions of the other commander, and then deploy your own forces in a targeted manner. When the soldiers of both sides really fight to the death, it is the final stage of the war, that is, the decisive stage."
Luo Chong nodded, first affirmed Qubing's way of investing troops, and then explained some military theories to them, and then he said to several people.
"Your expedition this time can be divided into three stages. The first stage is a scattered ambush. The cannibals often send out small hunting teams to capture people or hunt. Generally, the number
of people ranges from dozens to two or three hundred. "At this time, you can make corresponding troop deployments based on the information provided by the local guides and your own reconnaissance, and based on the number of enemies. Generally, you can send out one or two platoons, and then add some militiamen to capture prisoners, and then launch a sneak attack on the enemy's outbound team.
"This situation should last for a while. I call it the first stage of the cleanup phase. Next, when the enemy realizes that a group of troops is specifically targeting them, they may make the following two judgments: first, hold on and do not go out; second, organize a large force to conduct a counter-sweep and search for your soldiers.
"At this time, you have to formulate the tactical goals of the second stage based on the enemy's reaction. If the enemy sends out a large force to actively seek combat, then the tactics you can use will be more flexible. You can send out small forces, such as one or two platoons, to attract the enemy and lead them into the encirclement of your main force and drag them out to fight.
"If the enemy steadfastly holds their ground, you will have to activate special operations and launch small-scale tactical sneak attacks by squads and platoons, focusing on harassment, assassination and sabotage. You have to disrupt whatever the enemy wants to do and prevent him from accomplishing his goal. Draw up enough hatred to lure the enemy out, and then fight him in the same way as before. This is the second stage I mentioned.
"The third stage is the decisive battle. After one or two rounds of fighting, the enemy's manpower has been almost consumed by you. Even if the enemy wants to send troops to settle accounts with you, it does not have that much manpower. At this time, you can launch a general offensive.
"According to the distribution area of the enemy, we will clear out the enemy area by area until we reach the enemy's lair and completely annihilate them. At that time, your mission will be completed."
Qubing and the other three nodded their heads. Originally, these young people had no experience in leading troops in battle. Although they now knew how to train and lead troops under the guidance of Luo Chong, they still had no idea about combat. After hearing Luo Chong's "three stages" this time, they immediately understood how to fight this battle and immediately felt confident.
"Don't worry, leader, we will definitely remember your battle plan and complete the clearing of the cannibals as soon as possible and capture more prisoners for the tribe." Qubing and Wen Feiyu quickly assured Luo Chong.
Luo Chong nodded and said nothing more. He had said everything he needed to say. He had also collected the logistics materials for the Shen Ce Guards. It can be said that he had everything he needed. He even made a plan for how to fight. Next, it depends on how these young people will execute his orders.
If this battle goes well, Qubing and his men will be able to gain a wave of combat experience and train several generals. In the future, when the Shen Ce Guard expands its army, Luo Chong will be able to do a lot more.
After the meeting, everyone became busy again. Luo Chong contacted various places to prepare food and ships to transport food to the northern camp. When contacting the ships, Luo Chong suddenly found that he had overlooked another problem.
They not only had to prepare food for the Shen Ce Guard soldiers and the captured slaves, but also for those who were rescued from the cannibals. The Han tribe also needed to provide food. This part of the people must be absorbed. Luo Chong did not think that the Han tribe had too many people. Even if there were millions more, Luo Chong could find things for them to do.
As a result, the amount of food to be transported increased. Fortunately, the Han tribe now had a lot of food, otherwise it might not be able to take out so much food at once.
On the other hand, Qubing, Canjun and the deputy commander also called a meeting of the battalion, company and platoon officers to explain the strategic guidelines that Luo Chong had told them. However, they discussed more specifically what each squad in each platoon should do when they go out on a mission, how to cover each other, etc.
Sima Wen Feiyu of the Shen Ce Guard was preparing for logistics. He distributed the winter cotton clothes brought by Luo Chong to the soldiers, and asked them to try on the size. If there was any that didn't fit, they would deal with it immediately.
Then he collected the old guns that the soldiers had used in previous training and replaced them with new guns.
Just these two tasks took three days to complete. After three days, the Shen Ce Guards officially began to gather and prepare dry food for the march. As for the camp, Luo Chong did not let them dismantle it.
This camp is not very good, but it is still no problem to temporarily accommodate thousands of people. It may be useful in the future. For example, those prisoners of war captured by the Shen Ce Guards can be temporarily detained here.
After preparing dry food, carrying steel guns and backpacks, the more than 2,000 soldiers began to set off for Weishan County. This time they marched to the Weishan County dock and walked the whole way. Luo Chong did not arrange a train for them. This was also to make them accustomed to the feeling of long-distance marches. After all, after arriving in the war zone, no matter what they did, they had to use their two legs to measure it. At that time, even if they wanted to take a train, they would not be able to take it.
At the same time, when the Shen Ce Guards were moving towards the Weishan County dock, the ships preparing to go out were also gathering at the Weishan County dock. A large number of ships began to gather. Luo Chong also took this opportunity to send a letter to You Ye in the north, telling him that the soldiers he sent had already gone, and they also brought a large amount of supplies.
After You Ye received Luo Chong's letter, he was shocked and complained. He secretly blamed Luo Chong for sending him only one garrison with a total force of just over 2,000. He began to think that even if he couldn't gather eight garrisons with more than 20,000 troops like he did to attack Zhudao, at least he could at least have three or four garrisons. But it turned out that he didn't. Luo Chong only sent one garrison with 2,000 people.
In fact, this was also a helpless move. First of all, the enemies they faced were different. Attacking Zhudao was for conquest, for occupying the land and its resources and population; while fighting the cannibals, it was definitely not realistic to say that it was for occupying the land. It was not that the Han tribe could not be defeated, but that there were not enough people to occupy it. There were so many fertile lands in the south that could be harvested twice or three times a year, and who had time to think about such a cold place in the north. However,
You Ye didn't know the combat effectiveness of the Shen Ce Guards, nor did he know the battle plan arranged by Luo Chong, so it was normal for him to have such doubts.
To be honest, more than 2,000 people in a guard post are indeed a bit too few, so Luo Chong asked them to form and train militia teams after they arrived at the place, and let them serve as auxiliary to the Shen Ce Guard. This is not because the Shen Ce Guard lacks combat effectiveness, but purely because of the lack of manpower.
You Ye immediately wrote a reply to Luo Chong, expressing his thoughts, thinking that the troops sent by Luo Chong were too few, and there should be at least three guard posts to open up the situation in the north and establish a favorable situation.
Then he talked about the batch of supplies he had received before. He had distributed cotton and cotton cloth to the people to make cotton clothes and quilts. Although everyone had never been to the Han tribe, they had always enjoyed the favor of the Han tribe and were grateful to the Han tribe.
In addition, the copper mine they discovered has now stopped mining, and then they used the iron ingots sent by Luo Chong to make various tools, and gradually replaced the copper tools from the people. After all the replacements, he would have people load them on ships and send them all back to the tribe.
This was also what Luo Chong had told him before.
Finally, he requested again that Luo Chong should add two more guards to form an army of three guards, so that they would be able to completely annihilate the cannibal tribe.
However, Luo Chong just smiled after receiving You Ye's reply.
It was impossible to increase the troops, and it was impossible to increase the troops even if he was killed. He could only send one guard to fight. His attitude was very firm, and there was no room for turning back. He just emphasized the difference of the Shen Ce Guard in his reply, and told You Ye and others that they would know it when they saw this army.
In addition, he also assigned a task to You Ye. Once the Shen Ce Guard was put into battle, a large number of prisoners of war and rescued civilians would be produced. The resettlement of these people must be done well. Whether they were prisoners of war or rescued civilians, they must have a place to live. In terms of food, the tribe would provide food, but the housing problem had to be solved by You Ye.
The rescued people should be given a better place to live. Even if there are dozens of prisoners in one earthen house, they should be given a house to live in. Otherwise, if they freeze to death, it will be a loss for the Han tribe. They are all cheap labor. Wouldn't it be good to use them to dig rivers and mine?
Another thing is to build a few more granaries. They don't need to be too good, but they must be fireproof and moisture-proof to temporarily store the grain transported over.
After explaining these things, the Shen Ce Guards have arrived at the dock of Weishan County.
On the day of the expedition, Luo Chong arrived at Weishan County by train, personally saw off the soldiers, sent them on the sailing boat heading north, and then watched the fleet disappear on the lake before preparing to go back.
Before going back, he took a look at the adjustable water level dock that was dug according to his requirements on the dock. After finding no problem, he took the train to the research institute in Xingang County. Now the two locomotives of the fourth batch have not been produced yet, so there is no train to transport the dock after the dock is dug, so he simply went to the research institute for a tour first.
When they arrived at the Power Research Institute of Xingang County, Director Lin Fei personally led people to greet them. Luo Chong smiled as he got off the train and followed them to visit the factory. This is a must-do program every time you come to Xingang County
. If you don't visit the factory, what else is there to see here? "Why, you still have so much time to come and pick me up. It seems that you are not very busy?" Luo Chong asked Lin Fei and others tentatively and jokingly.
"Leader, you are joking. We are okay recently. We are not particularly busy. The main reason is that the projects of various factories are on track. The workers are basically familiar with the manufacturing process, so our researchers who are responsible for training workers have a lot of free time, so we are not very busy recently." Lin Fei explained with a smile.
"Oh, so that's the case. Do you have any new projects to launch recently?" Luo Chong continued to ask tentatively.
"Well, the latest new project is still a new model of train. We are trying to make a larger locomotive, but because the heavy-duty rails do not meet the standards, we can only conduct technical demonstrations for the time being, and cannot actually manufacture and test them." Lin Fei answered again.
"Then stop the research on the new train first, and I'll arrange a few new projects for you to work on." Luo Chong made a decision immediately after hearing what he said.
