233 Thin red wire
Compared with Langkel, Will came to Cuba much simpler. This guy just wanted to return to the military camp and continue his life like a war in the military camp.
Confirm that Guantanamo Infantry Regiment could be trusted, Will immediately took action and selected more than a hundred soldiers with cavalry skills from Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, established a cavalry company, and named himself the company commander, took the cavalry company out of Guantanamo, and began training in the cavalry company.
Will's riding skills were beginning to be trustworthy, so Li Mu did not interfere with it, which also fulfilled Will's wish.
What made Li Mu quite unhappy was that Adrian did not leave with Will, but stayed in Guantanamo, which made Li Mu a little fucked.
However, this objectively reflects Will's disappointment with Adrian. If Will values Adrian, he should take Adrian by his side and train him carefully, rather than leaving Adrian in Guantanamo and let Adrian live under Li Mu's tyranny.
What made Li Mu even more speechless was that Adrian didn't even know that he was following Gloria every day, as if he had decided that this was his advancement.
Although this behavior is despicable, it is undeniable that this is the best choice for less struggle for twenty years. The key is that Gloria does not seem to be disgusted with Adrian's attentiveness, which makes Li Mu feel a little bad.
Fortunately, Li Mu has the best intelligence officer, Sandy, and Sandy can't stand Adrian, so he will report to Li Mu in every detail, which makes Li Mu feel much more at ease.
"Gloria doesn't like Adrian's sissy at all. Although I don't know why Gloria let Adrian beside her, I'm sure of this." Sandy rode Aubrey for a walk with Li Mu. This was one of Will's tasks to Sandy, and he had to supervise Li Mu to practice riding.
To be honest, riding is one of the few things that Li Mu can't handle. Li Mu has been practicing riding since last year, but has not made much progress. Although it can be considered to be quite good in the eyes of laymen, in the eyes of big experts like Will, Li Mu's riding is simply abolishing two good horses, "Wuqi" and "Zhaoye Jade Lion".
Li Mu didn't care. Anyway, Li Mu didn't want to be a cavalry, so riding skills were optional for Li Mu. Just ride a horse and escape at critical moments. Those fancy tricks were meaningless to Li Mu. Li Mu was already past the age of relying on these things to attract the attention of the little girl.
"Adrian is so disgusting. Once I heard Adrian sing "Katyusha" to Gloria. I couldn't imagine a big man's attitude of being accented and clinging to the tunes-good, I still feel disgusting when I think about it now." Sandy continued to complain, and stroked her arm with her hands, probably because of goose bumps.
Is there something like this?
Li Mu was very confident that Gloria probably looked down on such a fool.
The song "Katyusha" is very magical. It can be sung very heroically or gently. Of course, it can also be sung very sissy. It mainly depends on my personal understanding of this song.
Adrian is really good at choosing. Doesn’t Adrian know that “Katyusha” was created by Li Mu?
If Adrian doesn't know, that's interesting-
It seems that Adrian is just a spare tire.
"Sandy, is there anything you have always wanted to do but never did?" Li Mu wanted to reward Sandy. It is still rare for such an intelligence officer.
"What I've always wanted to do-" Sandy tilted her head and thought for a long time, then suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her: "I want to go to the moon to see--"
Li Mu is immediately embarrassed and embarrassed, this matter—
It's really impossible to do it!
At least it can't be done now-
"This doesn't work, change it." Li Mu retreated.
"That's it--" Sandy was in a lack of interest and did not continue to make requests.
The little girls these days are still easy to coax. The key is that the information these days is not developed enough. Sandy is still a child. Before coming to Cuba, Sandy even thought that the world was as big as Springfield.
Oh, no, Sandy has been to Washington-
"It's better to do this. After a few days, the paragliding test flight will be successful. I will take you to the sky for a walk. How can you get closer to the moon?" Li Mu finally thought of a good idea.
"Okay, okay-" Sandy immediately applauded in surprise, and both arms were lifted up parallel to the ground.
The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they came to the top of the mountain outside the military camp. In front of them was Tom leading a team of soldiers for tactical training. Li Mu and Sandy stopped to watch.
Tom's training was still very powerful. With Tom's whistle, the four men in the marching state quickly converted into a single-person queue. The soldiers held guns in their hands and pointed at Tom's saber and aimed at them.
This is the legendary "thin red line"—
No, in Cuba, this should be a thin green line.
The thin red line tactic is actually the legendary queuing and shooting tactic. In the Crimean War twenty years ago, the British used this tactic to defeat Russian cavalry several times their own, and ultimately made the "thin red line tactic" famous all over the world.
Americans are the biological sons of the British, so the tactics of British troops are very popular among the US troops. The "thin red line tactics" are of course no exception. During the Civil War, the "thin red line tactics" were once again developed. If there were no exceptions, it should not be until the First World War that the "thin red line tactics" would disappear in front of heavy machine guns and dense artillery.
Although at present, the "fine red line tactic" is definitely the most advanced tactic, in Li Mu's view, this tactic is absolutely behind. There are heavy machine guns, and the caliber of artillery will become larger and larger in the future. If the tactics are not changed, the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment will suffer a loss sooner or later.
Li Mu didn't want the troops he built with a lot of money to be defeated by heavy machine guns and artillery, so Li Mu felt that he should communicate with Will.
Yes, since Li Mu promised not to interfere in military training, he would give Will, Tom and the most autonomy. So even if Li Mu had ideas, he would communicate with Will, Tom and others in private and would not point it out directly on the training ground, which would damage the prestige of the instructors.
Of course, changing tactics is not easy. Soldiers are also very stubborn about traditional maintenance. Unless they are hurting them, it is difficult for them to admit that the troops' tactics are outdated.
For Will, who returned to the barracks, maintaining tradition is especially important: "Skirtlines? What is that? No, no, Lim, I don't think the thin red line tactics are outdated. In fact, this tactic is playing an important role. In the Civil War, we defeated the Southerners by relying on the thin red line tactics. George Dewey defeated the Spaniards in El Cristo. There is no evidence that the thin red line tactics are outdated. Instead, your "skirtlines" has not been verified. So Lim, go back to the realm you are familiar with."
During dinner, Will, who had been wandering outside for a whole day, heard the "straight line" proposed by Li Mu and immediately laughed disdainfully.
Will admits that when it comes to making money, Will is not as good as Li Mu, but when it comes to war, Will admits that he is better than Li Mu, a coward. See what Li Mu is afraid of death and is afraid of being like. He has to bring more than a dozen or twenty people with him whenever he goes out in Springfield. Amys was not so overly good at the beginning.
"Will, the emergence of tactics is based on the update of the war mode. The current war is different from the war twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, there were no heavy machine guns, and the artillery was inconvenient to move, and it could not provide effective support to the troops under field conditions. But now there are heavy machine guns, and the movement of artillery is becoming more and more. Future wars are based on the ferocity of firepower. It is inappropriate to use dense formations at this time. Think about it, even small-caliber artillery that can accompany the troops in the future can kill all creatures within dozens of square meters with one shot. At this time, if you hold the 'fine red line tactic' and don't let go, you will no longer be shooting in a queue, but waiting to die in a queue." Li Mu did not give up. In order to correct Will's wrong understanding, Li Mu was also very thoughtful.
In fact, the example Will gave was not appropriate. In the first Battle of El Cristo that just ended, if it weren't for the lack of artillery from the Spanish, George Dewey's men would have been killed or killed early, and they could not wait for subsequent support to arrive in El Cristo.
Just after the ten Gatlins arrived at the front line, the Spaniard's offensive collapsed quickly, with the casualties that were too great for Vila Nikolaou to bear. This fully proves that even under the existing conditions, the "fine red line tactic" has been declared failure.
"You are wrong. Heavy machine guns and artillery have serious hidden dangers. Inconvenience of carrying is the biggest problem. Field battles usually break out suddenly. Your heavy machine guns and artillery have not completed the battle preparations. My soldiers have already lined up to defeat you in an orderly manner. How can there be any queues to die?" Will's counterattack was also very sharp, which was also Will's confidence.
In fact, starting from the heavy machine gun equipment during the Civil War, it is not unavailable to see the shortcomings of the "fine red line tactics". The reason why George Dewey and others still use the "fine red line tactics" is the same as Will said, because the enemies of the "fine red line tactics" such as heavy machine guns and artillery are inherently deficient.
So why did the "fine red line tactics" collapse during World War I?
It is because of the advancement of science and technology that the emergence of cars has finally changed the problem of inconvenience of carrying artillery. If humans cannot push it, they can be dragged by car. The improvement of the weapon itself has also promoted the development of tactics. Don’t forget that heavy machine guns had just appeared during the Civil War, and their performance was far from complete. It will take until the Maxim heavy machine gun appears that heavy machine guns will truly become the master of war.
There is also a problem of smokeless gunpowder here. You should know that in the era of black fire and medicine, gunpowder residues were always an unsolvable problem, so that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 on the Qing Dynasty, the famous "Markqin" was actually evaluated as "unusual", which is really speechless.
