Red Alert 1895

Chapter 17 – Directly Under The Troops (Below)

Wang Guorui’s troop organization is based on the experience of later generations. It has integrated the experience of many military strategists, so there should be no problem. And the military officers of this era can’t find any faults, after all, they don’t quite understand these establishments. Especially the officers of the green battalion, they don’t even understand what these are. Therefore, none of them could make any suggestions. But this is only temporary, and they will soon be familiar with the new fighting methods and new fighting modes, as long as they fight a few times in person, they should be familiar with it.

“Master Wang, I suggest that we might as well use some people with good marksmanship. I think if we can gather some soldiers with good marksmanship to use them, and then shoot precisely at the enemy’s mid- and low-level officers on the battlefield, Then we killed a lot of grassroots officers, which will also make the enemy lose their organized attack, which is of great benefit to us.” One of the officers said.

“Oh? Zhao Xi, your idea is very good!” Wang Guorui said.

This Zhao Xi was originally an ordinary soldier in the Green Camp, but he has been a soldier for generations. He can actually have this kind of insight, able to know that the use of sharpshooters together can produce huge effects. And this is what Wang Guorui didn’t expect, because he was not a professional soldier after all in the later generations, and everything was done like a cat and a tiger. Now he actually ignored the role of the sharpshooter, so he asked others to add it.

“Yes, the sharpshooter unit should indeed be formed. If we can snipe the enemy on the field, it will definitely be of great help to our battle. We can first form a company of sharpshooter troops, so that we can use them in a concentrated manner, and also All of them can be distributed to various troops, depending on the specific situation at that time.” Wang Guorui agreed.

And Wang Guorui looked at this Zhao Xi, and immediately realized that this person could focus on promotion. This Zhao Xi was just an ordinary soldier before, and now he is also a deputy battalion commander. And his status in the previous green camp was not high, and he was promoted only when he came here, so his original background is not complicated, and he can be considered for his own use. In the current Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, many high-level officers were recommended by Hu Wei, so it is easy to form a gang and faction. What if Hu Wei empties Wang Guorui at that time?

Although Wang Guorui has red police soldiers under his command, he can ensure his control over the army. However, if the high-level military officers are not of one mind, it may be a little troublesome. So it is necessary to promote some people from the soldier class, so that they have a sense of belonging to this army. After all, they didn’t have any status in the green camp before, so naturally they didn’t have any involvement, and they could leave easily. When the time comes to separate Taiwan by themselves, they may not have a strong sense of belonging to the Manchu Qing.

“Next, if there is anything else, we might as well hold a Zhuge Liang meeting to discuss the formation of special troops.” Wang Guorui continued.

“Master Wang, I suggest adding an engineer company at the regiment level, and even an engineer platoon at the battalion level, so that the engineers will be stronger!” Hu Wei said.

“Oh? Why do you need so many engineers?” Wang Guorui asked.

Hu Wei went on to explain: “I think we can build more engineers and let them be responsible for building some barbed wire. I have done deduction. If we set up a barbed wire in front of the battlefield, we can completely stop many Japanese troops. As long as the Japanese army is blocked from outside the barbed wire, our Maximiser electric guns can completely shoot fiercely, so the Japanese army will definitely suffer a big loss. At that time, we can let him come and die as many times as possible!”

“Hu Wei, did you come up with this?” Wang Guorui asked.

“Well, I deduced this!” Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui finally knew that these people were not fools, and they were able to come up with many special store tactics. Of course, Wang Guorui knew what tactics Hu Wei was thinking of. In fact, it was the trench warfare that was mainly used later in World War I. This tactic is actually to block the enemy through trenches and barbed wire, and in the end this tactic has become a war of attrition. However, in this era, this tactic has not been truly implemented, and there are no real regulations that can be formed.

Only after the Russo-Japanese War did this kind of tactic truly form certain regulations. And this tactic is inseparable from machine guns and grassroots fire support. However, Wang Guorui and the others had so many machine guns that they had outnumbered the sky, and even the grassroots were supported by grenade launchers, so the firepower density was completely many times that of the enemy, and the Japanese army would definitely suffer a lot. And all of this is based on the high efficiency of engineers, so it is imperative to increase the number of engineers.

“It’s a good idea. We can build more engineers so that we can build fortifications faster.” Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui didn’t think there was any problem with forming the engineering army. Because engineers don’t need much money, they are mainly engineering shovels, barbed wire, and various construction things. The barbed wire is also very cheap in the red police system, and the engineer shovel is not too expensive. The engineering troops only need a small number of people to carry guns, and the guns are not expensive. As for the cost of the Red Police soldiers, it is actually not high. It only needs a two-star Red Police engineer as an engineering and technical guidance sergeant, and that’s fine.

“Master Wang, I have a special idea, I don’t know if it will work!” Chen Liyan, the artillery regiment commander, said.

“Oh? What do you think?” Wang Guorui asked.

Chen Liyan immediately said: “The Japanese army has cavalry. According to your introduction, Mr. Wang, each of their divisions has a cavalry regiment. And this cavalry regiment is their mobile force, which can harass us in many places. And Their cavalry regiment moves very fast, and our infantry can’t catch up. The best way to restrain the cavalry is to have cavalry. However, we don’t have many horses in Taiwan, and even if we have horses, we can’t use them for combat. This is Our weakness.”

Everyone was suddenly silent. If it was the infantry of the Japanese army, there might be another way. But the cavalry of the Japanese army, they can come and go like the wind, even if their firepower is not violent, they are very mobile. They sneaked into a weak spot, and they could run away. As for the infantry, they were unable to catch up with him. Therefore, it is not easy to restrain the cavalry! Taiwan has no horses and cannot form cavalry.

“My lord, I have an idea. We might as well set up a battalion of combat dogs. This battalion probably has four to five hundred dogs, which are specially used for combat. I observed that although those dogs can’t fight in the front It is useful on the battlefield, but it is used as a sneak attack, and its mobility is also very strong, no less than that of cavalry. Although we do not have cavalry, we have military dogs. If we encounter enemy cavalry, we can send our military dog troops. Chase and kill. These dogs are really a group of vicious dogs, and a dog trained by these Gaoshan people can completely kill a horse.”

“Although these dogs are afraid of a large number of bullets, they can’t go directly to the frontal battlefield. But against the Japanese cavalry with sabers, they are completely nemesis! Moreover, these bulldogs also have special effects. If we use them well, they can be used for sneak attacks. The supply troops of the Japanese army. These military dogs are very powerful, no less than war horses. When necessary, we can sneak attack the enemy’s supplies, and then transport them quickly, but they can become our supplies. Even, if we use them for sneak attacks The enemy’s artillery, once the enemy’s artillery is close, they will not be the opponent of these fierce dogs. After we kill the enemy’s artillery, we can use the military dogs to transport the artillery away quickly, without leaving a single door Enemies. Besides, they are just a bunch of dogs anyway, and we don’t feel sad when they die. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

Chen Liyan said a lot. Anyway, these military dogs are very effective, strong in mobility, and their combat effectiveness is no less than the enemy’s cavalry, and even stronger than the enemy’s cavalry. The cavalry of the Japanese army all used sabers, and only a small number of officers used pistols. Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of these military dogs can be reflected. And if necessary, you can sneak attack the enemy’s artillery, engineers, and other support troops who are not good at melee combat, which is completely miraculous. Of course, the most important point is that this military dog battalion is mainly composed of military dogs. There are very few human soldiers, and it doesn’t hurt to die.

“You don’t feel bad, I want to spend money!” Wang Guorui complained in his heart.

Of course, Wang Guorui made complaints about this. These prodigal officers under his command thought that military dogs were good things. Anyway, they were just dogs, not human beings, and they didn’t feel sad when they died. But they didn’t know that Wang Guorui spent money to get these military dogs out of the base. However, after hearing what Chen Liyan said, it seemed that it was true. The military dogs in the red police system were still very useful. Sneak attacks, small-scale operations, transportation, identifying spies, and officer security are all very effective.

“Since this is the case, let’s set up a dog combat battalion. The dogs in this dog combat battalion are mainly engaged in combat, and are responsible for patrolling the battlefield to avoid the appearance of enemy scouts.” Wang Guorui said.

“Yes!” Everyone said quickly.

Next, everyone also explained their views on the organization, and Wang Guorui also made some fine-tuning, which can be regarded as a preliminary organization for the troops directly under the Volunteer Army. As for the future, it will also be adapted to a certain extent according to the needs of the battlefield.
