Response to 388 North Latitude

This is an additional update, there will be another normal update tomorrow.

In addition, I don’t have any manuscripts saved. Every update is written temporarily after get off work. Sometimes I can’t finish it in one night, or if I don’t feel right, I may scrap all the thousands of words I wrote earlier, so it usually takes two days. One update.

So if you have updated votes in the future, please vote for the 3,000-word column. I will try my best to be satisfied. But if you vote for 6,912,000 words or something, I can only be disappointed. I really can’t get out.

.

Let's support each other.

"Our opponents are very smart, using a large number of civilians and a large number of dispersed troops to consume our army's ammunition. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages - after the troops are dispersed, each wave of their combat power becomes even more worthless.

Just mentioned. Incorporating civilians can certainly increase the number of cannon fodder, but it also makes their on-the-battle command more confusing."

Beiwei looked at the enemy formations on the opposite side that would collapse after just a slight beating, and quickly made a judgment:

"If we simply stay on the defensive line, we will inevitably be beaten passively. But if we take the initiative, we can easily defeat them with just a few hundred people."

"These square formations in the front are mainly made up of cannon fodder, while the back ones are still composed of the main force of the rebels. It seems that many of them also have pure cavalry formations."

Aosayan, who was also holding a telescope, reminded him - several arrays at the rear of the rebels were quite neatly arranged, and they were obviously not gathered randomly by pulling heads. In addition, there were smoke and dust billowing further away, and there seemed to be cavalry in and out - Shandong War Horses.

There are not many, but they are rich in Daqing donkeys. Historical records record that Kong Youde once "joined donkeys in formation" in an attempt to resist the Liaodong cavalry. Although it failed, it at least shows that he had many donkey cavalry under his command.

"It's okay, all the elite and miscellaneous soldiers in our hands can be beaten the same."

Beiwei sneered and suddenly called his name loudly:

"Hu Kai"

The young man whose name was called was stunned for a moment, then put his legs together and held his head high:

"have"

"Xu Lei"

"have"

"Chen Tian"

"have"

"Put your company together and prepare to fight out with me and have fun with the rebels."

Beiwei shouted loudly, and the three company commanders whose names were called immediately beamed with joy and agreed to rush down to gather their troops. Xiao Wei, who had not been sent to fight, was unconvinced and kept asking why his troops were not used until Beiwei reassured him.

He said that his subordinates had proved to perform well the day before yesterday, and now they needed to train others, so he was willing to give up.

Everyone is very motivated to fight, including Aosayan, who also volunteered to join:

"I'll go with you. When fighting in the front, we need to be adaptable. If you try too hard, you'll all run to the front. You have to stay behind to hold the line."

Beiwei smiled, glanced at Taiwan Tsai, and nodded in agreement - with Aosayan's invitation, all the modern officers who went on the expedition this time, except for the artillery crew comrades who were unlikely to rush forward to fight with bayonets, would all have experienced

I have practical experience on the front line. No one talks about it, but no one wants to lag behind in this aspect - maybe this will be capital at some point in the future.

In fact, it is not just modern people who pay attention to this aspect. At this time, even the civil servant Zhao Yi and Zhao Fengxiang insisted on joining the battle. According to him, he had fought face to face with the Manchu Tatars in Liaodong.

Yu is still afraid of a bird in the Fire Gun Team.

...Soon, more than 700 people from three companies gathered together to organize a larger commando than the day before. Based on the experience of that day, if a battalion of troops was dispatched here, if the rebels did not concentrate

There is no way that the two to thirty thousand people can withstand it, but if the other party really dares to gather all twenty to thirty thousand people together, Ma Qianshan will naturally not stand idly by.

"This time, be sure to keep in touch with the rear. Try your best to move within the visual field of the rear. If you can't do it, at least leave the communication flagman to keep in touch, and use flares if necessary."

Ma Qianshan warned carefully, and Bei Wei and others nodded repeatedly. Although muskets and grenades are good, artillery cover from the rear is the most reassuring.

In this battle, Qiong Haijun's artillery was destined to shine. At this time, as the fighting started in the front, the main force of the rebels behind also accelerated their advance. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the front to rush over, but it was a pity that this side

They had been guarding against them for a long time - the twelve-pounder artillery position was handed over to Wu Ji's command after the war started, while Ma Qianshan led the rocket launcher company and moved the launch brackets of the two rocket launchers to the sides of the position and installed them separately.

A rocket, fired in a single shot, began to harass the rebel team from a distance of three to five thousand meters.

The lethality of a single rocket may not be enough to destroy the morale of an entire phalanx, but it is enough to frighten them - starting to be beaten at such a long distance, there are still five or six miles to go. In the process

They could lose their lives at any time... How many troops in the Ming Dynasty could persist like this to the end? Ma Qianshan was very interested in this.

Qiong Haijun's initiative to attack indeed caused a major setback to the rebels' troop division tactics. Regardless of whether they were prepared for this, the phalanx haphazardly put together by civilians and miscellaneous soldiers could no longer approach within one mile of Qiong Haijun's position.

Under the fierce assault of Beiwei and others, several cannon fodder phalanxes organized by low-level soldiers in the front quickly collapsed, not to mention those civilian phalanxes - as soon as the troops wearing green uniforms approached, they would not

No matter how many shots were fired, everyone was so frightened that they ran away, even the supervising team was no exception.

Seeing from the telescope that the attacking troops were overwhelming, defeating several waves of enemy troops one after another, including some of the main rebel forces behind who seemed to be composed of elites, they were no match. Jie Xi laughed continuously, waving his arms from time to time, wishing he could rush up in person.

Pang Yu gradually frowned:

"Something's not right. Even if we send a battalion up, it seems to be too smooth... We should inform them, be careful of the rebels' trick to lure the enemy."

"Ha, don't worry, Bei Lai is not someone who is easily fooled, not to mention there is Lao Ao over there."

Jie Xi didn't care about this - indeed, no matter how far the rebels retreated, the combat range of the northern latitude attack force was always within the rear artillery cover area. As long as the opponent escaped from the range of the twelve-pounder here, he would

He took the initiative to step back and refused to take a step forward.

Looking from a distance, there are a lot of gold beads, jewelry, silver ingots and ingots scattered on the ground. It seems that they were hastily thrown away when the rebels fled. However, I have heard the famous jokes in "Shuo Tang" and "Three Kingdoms" since I was a child.

In the eyes of modern people, this method is really clumsy and ridiculous.

"Such an old-fashioned technique...does it underestimate our IQ or our military discipline?"

Jie Xi sneered, he was very satisfied - no matter whether the front troops were advancing or retreating, countless big feet stepped on the gold and silver, and not one of the many soldiers bent down to pick up those things - in fact

The gold and silver that the rebel lobbyists left behind when they were driven away yesterday were also left at the door, and no one paid attention to them for a long time. Later, Osayan and the others felt that it was unnecessary to keep testing the soldiers' determination, so they let them go.

Clean up.

From the day the army was founded, Qiong Haijun has never relaxed its ideological education of soldiers. Until now, although it cannot be said that it has completely imitated the style of the soldiers of later generations, at least, compared to any other armed forces in the world, Qiong Haijun is absolutely

It is an army with the strictest military discipline.

This is a force with a mind, a soul, and a sense of honor. They know why they are fighting. Yesterday, when faced with the bribery of the rebels, Jie Xi dared to show the gold and silver in public and did not hesitate to use it.

The refusal was precisely because he absolutely trusted his subordinates.

Seeing that the bait they sent out was being swallowed one after another, but they were still unable to get the attacking troops out of the rear artillery cover, the rebels finally realized that their plan to lure the enemy was impossible to succeed. And if this delay continued, even if there was another three-to-five attack

There was no way they could break through Qiong Haijun's position, they had to go all out.

As a result, the formations composed of the most elite main forces who had been hiding at the end finally began to move slowly towards the battlefield, and on their sides, several cavalry troops followed from a distance, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

.

"The whole army is pressing down. This is a desperate move..."

Pang Yu was a little worried. The two to thirty thousand infantry and cavalry mixed troops were obviously the rebels' last trump card and would not be used until absolutely necessary. They had obviously conducted an in-depth study of Qiong Haijun's tactics and figured out how to deal with them.

Dao - Driving the common people forward to die before was not considered a real tactic, because as long as Qiong Haijun was not merciless, dispersing these miscellaneous people would just waste more ammunition. But the current rebel formation is different from any previous records in military books.

——The distance between each individual soldier is very wide. There are more than ten steps between the front and rear rows. It can hardly be said to be an array.

"They actually even used skirmish lines...these rebels are very receptive. Who knows that the army of the DPRK is so ignorant?"

Seeing the opponent's posture, Jie Xi couldn't help but frown. Of course, the rebels' tactics were very different from the standard skirmish line, but at least they could minimize the damage caused by shell fragments. Being able to switch to a new formation so quickly,

The other party's adaptability is truly remarkable.

"This army is the group most familiar with hot weapon warfare in the entire Ming Dynasty... It seems that a tough battle is inevitable. Let's call them back from Beiwei. Being surrounded will be troublesome."

Pang Yu responded that the opponent had three infantry arrays as the core, with a "donkey cavalry" covering each side. There were approximately 15,000 to 20,000 people. The personnel were extremely scattered, and the area was unprecedentedly vast. From a distance,

To the edge of the sky, there is a mass of people and darkness, slowly moving towards this side like a tide.

Human Sea Tactics - This is the real Human Sea Tactics. Using their absolute numerical superiority against the absolute firepower superiority here is not a clever trick, but it is always practical, and in most cases, it is very effective.

The messenger ran up the high slope and issued an order to the troops in front to retreat according to the commander's order. However, a moment later, the messenger on the opposite side sent back a response of "There is a change in the front and our troops will not return for the time being." Order Jie Pang

The two were greatly surprised.

"What the hell, what does this guy from Northern Latitude want to do?"

"I don't know, but since someone as cautious as Osayan is also making trouble, he must be somewhat confident."

The two of them regretted not bringing walkie-talkies with them this time. After all, signal flags are not suitable for discussing issues at long distances. More than half of the original forty-two walkie-talkies have been damaged, and the remaining parts that were patched here and there are still there.

Keep working. But due to maintenance difficulties, it is no longer allowed to be taken out of Hainan Island.

So at this time, they could only guess what the cool guy from Peking University, who had always been secretive, wanted to do. But in any case, Bei Latitude insisted on leading the army to resist the enemy outside the defense line. He must have his plan. And this plan must be

It is beneficial to the whole army.
