Chapter 154 Discord

In the mountain temple next to Donglin Waterfall, Zhang Xun roared at Jiang Wanli, the battalion commander of battalion 301: "Bastard, you are the battalion commander, not Luo Mingfang's battalion commander!"

"Master, he is the deputy division commander!" Jiang Wanli said with a bitter face.

"Ass deputy teacher! I have soldiers and guns. If I hadn't given up my position, he would have been a fart deputy division commander!" Zhang Xun scolded.

Zhang Xun's third regiment is the best equipped by Zhang Jun. There are more than 2,000 people in the regiment, with one gun in their hands. Although there are a variety of guns, domestic Type 88 rifles, German Mausers, British Schneider, Casburg, France, as well as old guns and muskets, they are always fully equipped anyway. The only shortcoming is that there is a serious shortage of ammunition, with an average of only five shots per gun. Bullets.

With soldiers and guns, Zhang Xun's courage suddenly increased, and he was arrogant. Although he did not become the deputy division commander, among the four regimental commanders of Zhang Jun, he thought he was the boss, and even Luo Mingfang, the deputy division commander, did not pay attention to it. Although Luo Mingfang is the deputy division commander, he only has only one artillery in his hand, and the five wild cannons of the artillery team were originally from Zhang Xunyi's army.

Jiang Wanli said, "The division commander has explained that Deputy Division Chief Luo has full authority to command the tire Lifeng..."

"Bulls!" Zhang Xun was furious: "Jiang Wanli, I warn you! Remember where you come from! If I hadn't raised you, your boy would have landed like Wei Rugui!"

Jiang Wanli was originally a shed leader of Wei Rugui's army. Zhang Xun washed Sheng's army with blood and killed the officers above Sheng's sentry commander. Jiang Wanli is a graduate of the third phase of Tianjin Wubei School. As soon as he was ranked as a shed leader in Shengjun, he met Zhang Xun's blood-washed Shengjun and escaped from death.

Although Zhang Xun was cruel, he also knew people and saw that Jiang Wanli had a way to fight, so he directly promoted him from the head of the shed to the position of battalion commander.

Jiang Wanli dared not speak any more and looked at Zhang Xun in a daze.

Donglin Waterfall is located in the southwest of the belly of Taili Peak. It has beautiful scenery and wide vision. A 20-meter-high waterfall hangs on the cliff, with lush pines and cypresses on both sides. On the cliff of Donglin Waterfall, you can see dozens of miles. A road from Anzhou to Yizhou passes through the foot of the southwest mountain. That's the way the Japanese army must go.

Zhang Xun's regimental headquarters is set here.

What made Zhang Xun extremely unhappy was that there was also a deputy division commander's headquarters on the peak of the fetus.

Luo Mingfang also set up his headquarters next to Donglin Waterfall, about 200 meters away from Zhang Xun's headquarters.

This made Zhang Xun feel uncomfortable!

There is no real national army in the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banner Army and the Green Camp Army are the emperor's private armies. The Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the training forces developed on the basis of the Xianghuai Army in the future are actually private armies of governors from various places. Officers at all levels have always regarded their subordinates as their private property.

Zhang Xun is no exception. When he became the commander of the Yi army, he regarded the Yi army as his own army and the commander of the third regiment, and regarded the third regiment as his own regiment.

At the peak of the fetus, the third regiment is the main force, and the artillery team cooperates with the third regiment. According to Zhang Xun's view, the commander can only be Zhang Xun. According to the unwritten rules of the Qing army, no matter how high the position of Luo Mingfang, the deputy division commander, can't mobilize his troops at will. He is a soy sauce.

However, the most significant feature of the modern military organization system is that superior officers can directly command and mobilize combat units at all levels. Each combat unit can be reorganized by platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and even divisions according to the needs of the battlefield situation, that is to say, each combat unit can be reorganized.

In this way, military units can be split and combined at any time to adapt to different battlefield situations. So as to ensure the combat efficiency of the troops.

Under the existing system of the Qing Dynasty, this is not feasible, because every officer is unwilling to see his troops split up. They can even use this as a reason to disobey the orders of their superiors, and their superiors can only obey the subordinate officers, because this rule is the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, and no one can change it. It.

This resulted in extremely low combat efficiency of the Qing army.

Zhang Jun is a team integrated according to the organizational ideas of the Germans. Zhou Charter knows that if you want to learn the essence of the German army, it is far from enough to change the sheds, sentries, battalions and armies of the Qing army into platoons, companies, battalions, regiments and divisions. That's just a formal change. The army needs to have substantial changes.

This substantial change is to break the "military" situation formed by the Qing army for a long time. Military chiefs at all levels cannot regard their subordinates as their own private property. Superior officers have absolute authority over the lower army and can break the establishment and mobilize the next level of troops at any time.

Most of Zhang Jun's officers are selected from the bottom soldiers. Most of them have no warlord habits. In their minds, the troops are Zhou Charter, not anyone else's, including themselves. Therefore, the vast majority of officers can understand the intentions of Zhou Charter and consciously obey the orders of their superiors.

Only this Zhang Xun, who was originally a general and had been in the Qing army for many years. The warlords were deeply rooted in their habits and regarded the army as their own life. Roots, no one can move.

After the troops pulled up the fetal peak, he competed with the deputy division commander Luo Mingfang.

Zhang Xun deployed three battalions on the front line around the peak of Taili Peak. The 301 battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness and is arranged on the official road side in the southwest direction, while the other two battalions are deployed in the northwest and southeast directions respectively. The artillery is deployed 300 meters below Donglin Waterfall, and the gunpoint is aimed at the official road at the foot of the mountain.

When dealing with the bandits and the Taiping army in China, this kind of formation is a common tactic of the Qing army. The bandits and the Taiping army are accustomed to man-sea tactics. The Qing army has laid high-density firepower in every direction, making the opponents hit the wall everywhere, and the Qing army has repeatedly won.

However, Deputy Division Chief Luo Mingfang completely changed Zhang Xun's deployment.

Luo Mingfang ordered Zhang Xun to move the 301 battalion to the dense forest above Donglin Waterfall as a regiment reserve. The artillery position also moved up to the south of Taili Peak, behind the 301 Battalion. Battalion 302 and Battalion 303 are platooned, from bottom to top, scattered on more than a dozen highlands. At the same time, a whole company was each left and deployed halfway up the mountain as a battalion reserve.

Luo Mingfang's deployment is completely different from Zhang Xun's tactical thinking.

Zhang Xun pays attention to the iron wall, and the three battalions guard the peak of the tire like an iron barrel.

And Luo Mingfang's deployment, more than a dozen highlands are not connected to each other, and the whole position is full of holes.

In Zhang Xun's opinion, Luo Mingfang not only directly skipped his subordinates and mobilized his subordinates and violated his great taboo, but also divided his troops to resist the enemy and violated the military taboo!

Jiang Wanli, the commander of the 301 battalion, obeyed Luo Mingfang's order and moved his troops, which made Zhang Xun very angry.

Jiang Wanli is a student of the third phase of the Infantry Department of Tianjin Military Academy. He has accepted Western modern military thought. He saw that Luo Mingfang's deployment has the concept of modern defense depth.

With the rapid development of infantry firearms technology, the infantry firepower is getting stronger and stronger. The Qing army has been equipped with powerful machine guns, and the Western army is equipped with machine guns with lighter and more powerful firepower. In this case, if the terrain is reasonably used, the firepower of the squad and discharge is enough to control the width up to one 100 meters front. This was completely unimaginable in the past.

People's sea tactics, whether offensive or defensive, can only increase casualties in vain. The Japanese army must be very clear about this. They will not take a dense formation to launch a group attack.

In this case, there is no need to deploy high-density troops on the front.

From the foot of Taili Peak to the top of the mountain, take the highland as the core layer to fortification, step by step. The loss of a highland does not affect the whole war situation. At the same time, the defenders stationed in other highlands can also be condescending and launch a counterattack against the lost highland. However, if the Japanese army wants to attack the peak of the fetus, they have to pull out the highlands one by one.

Jiang Wanli agrees with Luo Mingfang's deployment.

However, he also knew that Luo Mingfang stabbed Zhang Xun, the hornet's nest.

Zhang Xun was furious: "Jiang Wanli, transfer your troops back to me!"

Jiang Wanli said with a bitter face, "Mourage, how can I tell Deputy Chief Luo?"

"You can't give it! I'll give it to you!" Zhang Xun said, regardless of Jiang Wanli, with more than a dozen guards, strode out of the headquarters.

Zhang Xun's guards are all the top soldiers he selected in the Yi army. They are strong and accurate. Each of them is equipped with a Type 88 rifle and a rotary pistol, and one of them is against ten soldiers.

Jiang Wanli can't scream well. He has long learned Zhang Xun's cruel heart. Now, Zhang Xun is murderous again. If something good or bad comes out, Zhang Jun will fight first. If the Japanese come, what will happen?

Jiang Wanli hurriedly followed Zhang Xun.

Sure enough, Zhang Xun left the regiment headquarters and went straight to the headquarters of Deputy Division Commander Luo Mingfang.
