Chapter 367 The real art of war is always so simple and unpretentious
"what do you think?"
At this time, regarding this first actual battle of the militia, the captain of the [-]th Infantry Brigade curiously asked the instructor next to him.
Both of them came from the intermediate martial arts hall. This time they were appointed to lead the infantry brigade to suppress bandits. Naturally, Liu Wu valued their abilities and wanted to train them.
It can be said that as long as they perform well and the Han army subsequently forms a battalion-level unit, they are likely to directly serve as captains and priests.
Therefore, the two of them were naturally very concerned about this first battle fought by militiamen alone.
In response to this, the teacher smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I won't comment on this battle. I will only talk about a theory that the mountain chief (Liu Wu is the mountain chief of the Jiangwu Hall) likes to mention."
"Which theory?"
The captain was very curious about what the teacher said. After all, there were many theories mentioned by Liu Wu. He couldn't think of any theory suitable for this situation.
The teacher smiled: "The mountain commander once said that the so-called best in military affairs is to defeat the small with more, and the strong to defeat the weak. Look at this situation, doesn't it confirm the mountain commander's words?"
The captain was stunned for a moment, then savored it carefully, and then laughed: "Compared to these gangsters, the militiamen are weak, so they have an absolute advantage by attacking the few with more."
"Compared with the Daqian gangsters and those family private soldiers, we have fewer people but are stronger, so we use the strong to defeat the weak."
"So it turns out that we can still understand it this way, wonderful, wonderful!"
In response to this, the instructor shook his head: "Actually, this is not right. Look at the 1rd Infantry Battalion, which had more than [-] officers and soldiers in Changsha County. Although it had a fierce record, it was not a strong attack on the weak, but a weak attack. powerful."
"According to what the mountain chief said, that is the lowest form of warfare."
"So we can't just look at the battle of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, nor can we just look at the support speed of the [-]th Infantry Battalion. We should look at the overall situation."
"If you look at it this way, you will find that the third infantry battalion, the fifth infantry battalion, the cavalry brigade, and the supply camp have a total of more than 700 combat soldiers, more than 300 auxiliary soldiers, more than [-] cavalry horses, and [-] soldiers. Multiple people.”
"This kind of power is crushing to a large army with only [-] troops, all of which are infantry."
"Not to mention, our six fully-equipped brigades, with a total of more than [-] people, are very close to the battlefield at that time. Although it cannot be reached in a day or two. But if there is a problem on the front line, we can immediately enter the battle."
"There is also a supply camp in the rear, and we also have a personal guard. Together, these forces add up to more than 1 troops on the battlefield."
"You said that compared with Daqian's [-]-strong army, our strength was not weak at the time. We were even more than a star and a half ahead."
"As for the [-] to [-] strong men in the Daqian Army, you have to know that very few of these strong men have received military training. At that time, our militia alone numbered no less than [-]."
The teacher's words made the captain dumbfounded.
Yes, if we look at the overall situation, their style of play at the beginning was not to use more to defeat fewer, and to use strong to defeat weak.
So the captain nodded thoughtfully, "If you put it this way, the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, the [-]st Marine Corps, and [-] militiamen took advantage of the night to seize Rulin County. In fact, this is how they fought."
"And now we use the same method to suppress bandits."
The teacher smiled and said, "That's true."
In response, the captain looked at the teacher suspiciously.
"We all agreed not to study together, but I didn't expect that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, would actually work hard secretly!!"
The teacher curled his lips when he heard this: "You guys have never thought about why I am a teacher and you are the captain?"
The captain was stunned when he heard this, and then became furious.
"You dare to call me brainless?"
The teacher said disdainfully: "No, it doesn't happen. You are slandering!!"
The captain was a little confused when he heard this. Who are you talking about?
"Bastard, I will fight for you!!"
After saying that, the fellow teacher started to fight with all his strength.
......................
Of course, this was just a small episode and passed quickly.
After all, looking at the instructor with extraordinary appearance and the captain with a bruised face, everyone can understand how this conflict ended.
After that, the army continued to advance.
The small gangs and landlords' compounds are all put in charge of the militia, and they are constantly rotated, which not only improves morale, but also allows them to see blood and practice their courage.
As for the medium-sized gangster force that directly occupies half of the town, or even a whole town, it has a full army of soldiers to attack together with the militia.
The core forces of these bandits are all handled by the combat brigades. The other strong men who were raped were handed over to the militiamen.
Moreover, these battles are all based on the strategy of using more to defeat fewer, and using strong to defeat weak.
You have a thousand troops. According to the terrain, three thousand is not too many and five thousand is not too few. It is best to attack with a full brigade.
For a time, these medium-sized gangster forces cried.
Damn it, our town, including the villagers under its jurisdiction, may not even have 7000 people. If you use so many people to beat us, isn't this just bullying? ?
Of course, what made them collapse even more was that whether they were soldiers or militiamen, they were all wearing armor.
Although the armor worn by the militiamen looks like it is made of linen and wood, if you cut it with a knife, you will find that there are iron pieces inside the armor!
Let’s not talk about the soldier’s armor. You don’t know what is hidden under the thick leather armor. If you cut it with a knife, it will fly away.
Then, the gangster saw the Han army with a ferocious smile on his face and hit him on the head with a hammer.
Then, everything went dark.
From then on, I became isolated from the world.
It can be said that these medium-sized gangster forces should not look at the number of soldiers.
Compared with the Han army, the Han army had more soldiers.
If the equipment were compared again, these guys would have died on the spot.
For a time, the general function of the militia was to capture prisoners and then identify those who were real gangsters and those who were real common people.
Then, in front of the people and the prisoners, the gangsters who had lives in their hands were captured and chopped with a knife.
As for the bandit leaders and the lifeless bandits, they will be escorted to the county jail.
Awaiting them was a public trial, followed by a procession and beheading.
The other is working and doing needlework.
To be honest, although these people are not very good at craftsmanship, the quality of the clothes they make is really good.
Just like the clothes made by those in Changsha County, not only the soldiers like them, but the militiamen also like them even more.
