Confused expressions appeared on the faces of everyone in the field.
The military literacy of the people in the Lin family is extremely high.
Although they have been living in seclusion for decades, the skills of the Red Army have not been neglected. On the contrary, in the hands of this generation of Lin family members, they are somewhat expected to be carried forward.
Some members of the Lin family, headed by Qiu Jianyi, who have been specially trained as generals, have extraordinary commanding talents.
But none of these people... nor He Wenshu, the famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had ever heard of the term guerrilla warfare.
So when Jiang Fan said these three words, everyone looked innocent.
"Ahem, Master... what is guerrilla warfare...?"
Tieniu looked around and couldn't help but ask first.
"Guerrilla warfare is not a toy, it is the name of a tactic. Jianyi, please tell me first, how did the militia perform in suppressing bandits and escorting them during this period?"
Jiang Fan did not directly explain the guerrilla warfare itself, but asked other questions.
"It's very good. Those gangsters and robbers are basically vulnerable. Although at the beginning, the militia team's performance was relatively raw, especially because the refugees had basically never seen blood, so at the beginning some militiamen even fainted from being frightened by the dead.
It happened. But then it happened more often, and the militiamen got used to it."
Qiu Jianyi said with a smile.
"I heard that when they were seizing the city defense today, some people were so eager that they tripped and were trampled and injured by other militiamen? Also, during the use of weapons, they failed to kill the enemy because of poor operation.
That’s all, but instead you hurt your comrades beside you?”
Jiang Fan asked.
Qiu Jianyi's face couldn't help but turn red, and he said calmly: "It does happen, but it only belongs to a very small number. I will give these militiamen extra training when they get back."
"Well, they must practice more and let them have a deep memory. Today is not a war at all. As a result, such low-level mistakes can still occur. Once encountering a real war, lives will be lost. Although soldiers are shrouded in horse leather
, but even if you die, you should die meaningfully, not so inexplicably."
Jiang Fan nodded and said.
"Don't worry, young master. According to your previous instructions, in order to train their collective consciousness, as long as one person makes a mistake, the entire class will be punished together. This time the matter is more serious, and the company of the erring person will have to accept the punishment!"
Qiu Jianyi said seriously.
"The entire militia has completed a comprehensive restructuring in accordance with my previous requirements?"
Listening to Qiu Jianyi's name for the specific unit of the militia, Jiang Fan asked curiously.
"Yes, ten people make up a squad, three squads make up a platoon, three platoons make up a company, three companies make up a battalion, three battalions make up a regiment, three regiments make up a division, three divisions make up an army, plus additional scouts
, signal corps, orderly troops, and a separate special operations battalion, with a total number of just ten thousand."
"The number of company-level units, including combat personnel and other personnel, totals about 110, making it the smallest complete independent combat unit. The number of a regiment is about 1,000, and the number of a division is 3,010.
There are about a hundred people, and the number of special operations battalions is currently fixed at five hundred."
Qiu Jianyi described in detail the current overall structure of the militia.
He Wenshu was a little confused, because it was the first time he heard these words.
Of course, he can understand the general meaning. As a general leading troops, he can instantly react through this novel structure. Under this structure, the commander of an army can powerfully attack the entire army.
How much control do you have?
But He Wenshu was still extremely surprised.
Because it sounds like...this restructuring is entirely at Jiang Fan's request?
Being able to carry out such a comprehensive optimization of the current internal structure of the army, Lord Jiang... actually has such ability?
"Well, that's right. Now that the restructuring has been completed, what I want to say next can be implemented directly. The militia still needs to continue to expand its recruitment. Regarding this, Jianyi, you have to hurry up. Even if any generals join,
We currently have only 20,000 troops."
"Although there are not many skilled soldiers, I believe that the combat effectiveness that these 20,000 people can exert is enough to match Liu's 200,000 private troops. However, as the situation deepens, we will definitely have to face territorial problems in the future.
In the case of expansion, at that time, the problem of insufficient military strength will become prominent."
"Once we start to need to constantly divide our troops to garrison other cities, the 20,000 people will be stretched thin, so from now on, we will try to expand our troops as much as possible as Heyang City itself can afford it. At the same time, General He, your troops
We must also start training according to the training methods of the militia."
Jiang Fan looked at He Wenshu and said.
He Wenshu nodded and agreed without any hesitation: "Don't worry, Master Jiang. I have also seen the performance of the militia. They are indeed much stronger than my soldiers. I can make them even more powerful. No one will let go of this opportunity."
Passed. My soldiers are all veterans. They know very well that the stronger they are, the less likely they are to die on the battlefield, so no matter how difficult this training method is, they will not have any resistance."
"Very good, let's talk about guerrilla warfare. The city defense of Heyang can be handed over to General He's subordinates, and our militia will be divided into battalions and dispersed. Head to the two counties controlled by the Liu family.
Launch attacks on Liu's private army everywhere!"
Jiang Fan looked at Qiu Jianyi again and continued: "In addition to attacking the Liu family's private army and transport teams, the more important task of each guerrilla warfare unit is to publicize our common people in the vast villages in the two counties.
The idea of being the master of the country.”
"Under the conditions within our ability, we should help the people in the villages overcome difficulties and resist the oppression of the nobles. We should let the people in the villages treat our militia as their own relatives. To achieve this,
It’s not easy, but I believe you can do it well.”
"We want to surround the city with rural areas and build the vast villages into base areas for our guerrilla warfare, so that the Liu family will fall into the vast ocean of civilian war! Due to the limited military strength of the militia, after the split, each battalion-level unit is almost
None of them can directly participate in a frontal war, so you must keep in mind the sixteen-character guerrilla warfare program!"
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue! We must go deep into the enemy's hinterland and make the enemy exhausted! Only in this way can the Liu family be unable to assemble with peace of mind and launch an all-out encirclement and suppression campaign."
