"Sir, the combat effectiveness of the Jiannu is much higher than that of the Mongols, and their armor and stomach are also well-equipped. You must not underestimate the enemy. You must prevent us and the Mongols from being exhausted from the fight, and they suddenly appear on the battlefield to take advantage.
Lin Yueru said.
"This is our first time to go out to the fortress to fight. We must put caution first and not waste the battle. We will stay in the stronghold and fight tough battles. We will focus on positional warfare and combine it with mobile warfare under conditions. If there are fighter opportunities,
Just use the eight thousand cavalry in hand to fight out. If there is no chance, stick here." Yang Fan said slowly.
Lin Yueru and Tu Shanyue both nodded in agreement. They were relieved that the master had a character that was neither arrogant nor impetuous.
Now, our side relies on water transportation, and its logistics are very secure. It is not a problem to continue fighting for a long time, and there is no need to take risks.
Tu Shanyue said: "My master's strategy is clever. Let's not make mistakes first, don't give the enemy a chance, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy."
Soon the enemy situation was announced, and Yang Fan immediately issued deployments and orders one by one.
The two cavalry regiments each have 3,600 people, plus 500 people from Yang Fan's personal camp and 300 student soldiers who followed him to the grassland. A total of 8,000 cavalrymen are on standby in the central square of the camp.
The three hundred student soldiers are students of the Military Academy of Xinghe Academy.
Yang Fan has already begun training regular military academy students.
Now his generals are all servants, and they will have to be regularized and modernized sooner or later in the future. An army with hot weapons will inevitably need a group of high-quality officers who are educated and skilled.
Yang Fan's method of training them, in addition to book study and drill training, is to take them to the battlefield. Only by experiencing war can one truly learn war.
Everyone in the camp was gearing up to fight the Mongols. Long-term ideological education played a big role. No one backed down, and everyone wanted to make contributions in this war.
Now, their families have solved the problem of having enough food and clothing. If they want to further improve their social status, they can only rely on learning scientific knowledge to become intellectuals, learning industrial and agricultural technology to become technicians, or serving as soldiers to establish military merit.
As Yang Fan's order was issued, the three militia groups dispersed to three defensive walls to cooperate with the vehicle camp defense. Other troops were stationed inside the camp, waiting for orders to attack.
Zhao Shuigen was one of the first batch of veterans to be recruited into the regiment training, and he made great contributions in the Battle of Rock Beach. He was promoted on the battlefield and was promoted to team leader.
At the beginning, more than 5,000 regiments were trained, and after the war, more than 1,000 people survived. Now, almost all of these people have become officers.
After the subsequent operations to annihilate the gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River, the operation to enter the capital to Qinwang, etc., the army continued to expand. At this time, Zhao Shuigen had already achieved the position of deputy battalion commander, that is, deputy captain.
For the militia regiment recruited this time, deputies were directly selected from the combat troops to serve as chief officers.
The deputies of each army are the backing force for officials at all levels. Transferring them directly to the militia is an established strategy designed by Yang Fan. It will not affect the army's operations.
This time, Zhao Shuigen was directly appointed as the head of the First Militia Regiment. This appointment was temporary. After the war, when the militia was disbanded and returned to the village, these officers would also return to their original positions in the army. This was a training for these deputy positions.
.
Let them take charge of their regular positions for the first time and exercise their ability to coordinate the overall situation.
Before setting off this time, my parents called Zhao Shuigen to them.
He recalled the family's experience of being hungry and cold. He thanked the master for providing him with a rich and stable life. He told him to fight the enemy bravely and not be afraid of sacrifice. If he could not come back, the family would definitely raise his grandson to be a man.
His mother was so hungry that she couldn't see. If he hadn't been admitted to Xinghe Tuanlian in time, the family would have filled in the trenches.
Because opportunities are hard to come by, plus he is tall, physically fit, and smart. He trains and studies hard.
Not only did he learn military technology, but he also worked hard to study cultural courses. In addition, he entered the master's field of vision early and was promoted quickly.
Zhao Shuigen told his parents that he would never embarrass his parents. He must fight hard and strive for a good future for his children.
The master has already spoken. The children of the top 50 personnel who have made meritorious service in this battle will be given a place to enter the Xinghe Academy Military Academy.
Now everyone in Yang Fan's system knows that after entering the military academy, you will be an officer, and you will start at the level of a small flag or a squad leader, and you will be in charge of more than thirty people.
The night was already deep, and Zhao Shuigen still hadn't slept.
He persisted and continued to check the defense of the southern section of the wall he was responsible for. He implemented every measure carefully and tried not to make any mistakes.
If the battle starts tomorrow, the south wall must be the enemy's main attack direction and will bear the greatest pressure.
Zhao Shuigen felt that his master must have put him here to train him.
Old people like me are all familiar with my ways. Whether I value you or not depends on whether I put you in the most difficult position.
It wasn't until he had inspected all the one-kilometer section of the wall that he dragged his exhausted body back to sleep.
The next day, when the reveille signal sounded an hour late, bursts of aroma filled the nostrils outside the tent.
The Huotou soldiers got up in the middle of the night, steamed steamed buns, stewed braised pork, and ground soy milk to make tofu. By this time, the tofu had been stewed and the rice was steamed.
Calories and protein are the two most important nutrients for combat in this era. Without these two nutrients, soldiers will not have sufficient physical strength and will not be able to fight well.
The soldiers had a good sleep and felt their physical strength returned.
They lined up in small groups to wash up, and then the Huotou soldiers carried the food on burdens. White rice, white flour steamed buns, braised pork, stewed tofu, and vegetable soup. Eat whatever you want to make sure you are full.
In addition, according to the head count, everyone will also have one or two bottles of liquor.
Appropriate drinking can increase the excitement of soldiers, which is beneficial to combat. It can also eliminate tension and fear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After eating and resting for an hour, the Mongols finally arrived. Yang Fan observed with a telescope on the top of the mountain and found that the enemy situation seemed to be different. There were many people coming.
It seems that there are far more than 50,000 people.
Walking slowly in the distance were both prairie cavalry and a large number of herdsmen and slaves on foot.
It was completely dark on three sides. People of all kinds gathered around it.
Yang Fan sighed. He knew that Duoyan and Haraqin came with their tribesmen driving cattle and sheep. In addition to warriors, there were also a large number of other tribesmen.
Yang Fan originally wanted to defeat these cavalry and annex their tribes to herd sheep for himself. After all, there were no herdsmen, so he had no way to stabilize on the grassland.
Now we see that the Mongols are actually using all the people as soldiers, which greatly increases the number of enemies, and these ordinary herdsmen will also suffer a lot. It is not good for Yang Fan's plan.
To the north, some Mongolian nobles wearing gorgeous high-quality uniforms came out from the cavalry group. Yang Fan knew that those in front were all Taijis from various tribes, and those in groups behind were all Tabu Nangs. As for that Yan,
The shepherds are not qualified to stand there.
Seeing the large number of Mongolian soldiers gathering, Yang Fan felt a little stressed. There were almost more than 100,000 soldiers. This battle was a tough one.
However, this is fine. They can gather themselves together and save Yang Fan from searching everywhere. If they win on this battlefield, Yang Fan will solve the problem of Monan Mongolia at once.
Tumed, Haraqin, and Duoyan were dealt with at one time, and finally moved westward, annihilating the Ordos to complete the unification of Monan. Then they moved northward and annexed the twelve Inner and Outer Khalkha Mongols, and annexed the Buryat Mongols.
Basically, Yang Fan's initial strategic intention was completed.
At this time, another change occurred on the battlefield. A large group of cavalry wearing blue cloth armor entered the battlefield from behind the Mongols.
The Mongols dispersed on both sides and made way for the passage. They seemed to be very respectful to these blue-armored people.
