Chapter 72 This level is still too scum

Skirmishing formations and line formations have completely different requirements for the command system.

When the line formation is adopted, the deputy platoon commander and platoon commander of Qingshan Patrol Battalion cannot actually play any commanding role.

The line formation in the Qingshan Patrol Camp is modeled after the regular Luo An Army and is also the common line formation in all Daheng vassal towns.

There are basically no platoon and squad levels in the troops in Daheng's vassal towns, and there are no platoon leaders or squad leaders.

Each unit has its own number of soldiers, ranging from 80 to 90 soldiers and 145 soldiers to form a company with a company commander, deputy company commander and adjutant. Some companies have a larger number of soldiers.

A second adjutant will also be added.

The above three or four people are all military officers.

During wartime, the company commander walks in front of the queue, in a single line. Behind him are soldiers in two or three lines. Behind the soldiers are the deputy company commander, adjutant, second adjutant, and two drummers in a single line.

This forms a standard infantry line formation.

The training drills used by the Qingshan Patrol Camp are also the training drills of the Luo An Army. If a line formation is adopted, the formation will be very close like the armies of the Luo An Army and even other vassal towns in the Daheng Dynasty.

In this formation, the Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion conducts frontal combat. Each company lines up in sequence. Specifically, in each company, the company commander is in the front alone, with three rows of soldiers behind him. The deputy platoon leader is with the soldiers in each row.

Queue.

Behind the three columns are the deputy company commander, drummer and three platoon commanders.

From the line formation of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, you can see that the squad leader is redundant, and the deputy platoon leader is also redundant. They are no different from ordinary soldiers.

As for the platoon leader, he plays the role of adjutant, second adjutant, and third adjutant, not the role of the platoon leader.

This is why when Lin Ziran formulated the military title, only the platoon leader was a corporal officer, but the deputy platoon leader was only a senior first-class private.

However, if you want to play a skirmish formation, because the formation is scattered and the distances on the left and right are relatively large, it is almost impossible for the company commander to directly command so many people.

Therefore, it became necessary to establish two levels of platoon and squad. The company commander commanded the platoon leader, and the platoon leader commanded the squad leader to form a three-level command system to maintain unified operations in a fragmented formation.

But during the retreat training these days, Lin Ziran still found that even with a squad leader, it was difficult to specifically command each soldier to follow the tactical actions.

For this reason, Lin Ziran simply added a deputy squad leader. Like the squad leader, he was also a senior soldier with good performance.

It is unknown how much command tasks the squad leader can share with the temporary deputy squad leader.

After two days of emergency adaptability training, Jian Liangzhi's messengers arrived at Fenglan Town again, notifying that the Guang'an rebels were about to enter the northern area of ​​Fenglan Town, and ordered Lin Ziran to immediately lead his troops to conduct an interception operation to delay the march of the Guang'an rebels.

Not long after receiving the order, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Lin Ziran also reported the traces of the Guang'an rebels heading south.

"The total strength of the Guang'an rebels going south is about 500 people, mainly infantry, with a small amount of cavalry and artillery. They are currently about eight kilometers away from us!"

After learning the news, Lin Ziran immediately gathered his troops to prepare for departure, and informed Wu Dajiang, Lu Sanzhen, Luo Mazi and other major subordinates of the situation before departure.

"They are very fast. According to their speed, if we don't intercept them, they will be able to cross Fenglan Town today!"

"We must march quickly and organize several blockades to slow down their march!"

Although they knew that the Guang'an rebels might be heading towards them two days ago, Lin Ziran could still tell that the people under his command were a little nervous when things came to a close.

Especially Luo Mazi’s face doesn’t look good!

But even though they were nervous, the troops still set off!

Lin Ziran directly led the troops to set off, and once again sent an order for the scouts to carefully inquire about the news.

Two hours later, they arrived at a hilltop about six kilometers away from Fenglan Town. This unnamed hilltop was a preset battlefield chosen by Lin Ziran.

Judging from the marching route of the Guang'an rebels, they are very likely to pass through here. Even if they don't go from here, Lin Ziran can lead the troops to maneuver east or west in time, and then he can also stop them.

Time passed bit by bit, and the reconnaissance cavalry continued to send back news. The Guang'an rebels did not suddenly change their route, but came directly towards them.

At this time, we were only a little more than two kilometers away from them. If the terrain here was better, we could even see the enemy.

Unfortunately, this place is surrounded by rolling hills and the enemy could not be seen.

At 3:20 in the afternoon, Lin Ziran finally saw the Guang'an rebels. At this time, these Guang'an rebels were actually only five or six hundred meters away from them. These Guang'an rebels were advancing along the hilly path, because the road was relatively narrow.

It's narrow, so the queue is quite long.

When Lin Ziran saw the enemy appear, he immediately issued an order: "Hide everything, don't show your head, and don't shoot without my order!"

But a few minutes later, Lin Ziran's brows furrowed, because he found that the enemy's scattered scouts were getting closer. Judging from the search direction of the opponent's scouts, there was no way for him to avoid their detection.

.

This time the ambush may be in vain!

After the opponent's cavalry got closer to two or three hundred meters, Lin Ziran knew that ambush was no longer possible and he could only strike first to see the situation.

Immediately the order came: "The artillery is ready to fire!"

"The infantry aimed at their cavalry, waited for the bombardment and opened fire immediately!!"

At this time, the opponent's infantry forward line was actually four to five hundred meters away, but the opponent's cavalry was already close to only more than two hundred meters away. We could not wait any longer. If we waited any longer, the other party's cavalry would find us.

After the artillery in the rear was ready, Lin Ziran drew out his command knife and said: "Fire!"

Following Lin Ziran's order, the four five-pound field guns in the rear suddenly opened fire. A continuous sound of artillery sounded. Along with the sound of the artillery, the artillery shells flew across the sky and then landed on the infantry forward of the Guang'an rebels four to five hundred meters away.

Next to the queue!

Lin Ziran saw with his own eyes that four cannonballs flew out and landed next to the enemy's formation, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart!

The skill of this artilleryman is still too bad. Even at such a close range, it still can't hit.

It seems that I still have to find a way to invite some artillerymen from outside to practice this artillery. Otherwise, the few artillerymen with three-legged cat kung fu under my command will really waste those five-pound field cannons.
